Old Lady Wu glanced at Yuan Shuji in disgust, snorted, and said, "You speak." ”

Yuan Shuji's expression was solemn, and he said sternly, "Weichen impeached Cui Geng for his demons and confusing the public, and he is a traitor." It should be clear that the canonical punishment should be made to set an example! ”

"Huh? How do you say that? ”

"First, Cui Geng judged the case with a dream, and this case was full of troubles after it was opened. When he was the commander of Jiangdu County, he said that there were female ghosts who dreamed, and people believed it. When he ordered for the minister, he said that there was a dream from the prime minister, and His Majesty believed it. Then if he takes another step up and says that there is a dream of Haotian and a change of dynasty, do you believe it or not? ”

What Old Man Yuan said was right, at this moment, his eyes were wide open, and he was angry, and he didn't know, he thought that he was a loyal minister who was outspoken.

Now, Wu Zetian couldn't continue to protect Cui Geng, and said with a sad face: "Cui Aiqing, what do you say?" ”

Cui Geng knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen was unwilling to impeach the national teacher with a dream, but the situation was really urgent, and he had to do it. Indeed, as soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles, and please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime according to the law! ”

Wu Zetian nodded with satisfaction and said, "Well, it's good that Cui Aiqing is guilty, and I will be punished later." Yuan Xiang, you can tell you the next reason. ”

"I ......"

Yuan Shu was so angry, he thought to himself: It stands to reason that my crime of impeaching Cui Geng for bewitching the public is established, and he will have to be removed from all his duties if he does not die. How is it that between the singing and harmony of this monarch and minister, it has become an insignificant little crime to bewitch the public? What the hell is reasonable?

He took a deep breath and said, "The second reason for Weichen to impeach Cui Geng is that he is guilty of bullying the king!" May I ask Cui Fengchen: Chongyan Gong is loyal to His Majesty, if he really has a spirit in the sky, why doesn't he dream of His Majesty, but to you who you don't know? ”

Cui Geng directly pleaded guilty to the last question, that was because he was really indefensible, but now he couldn't get used to him, and said unhurriedly: "Chong Yangong doesn't ask His Majesty for his dreams, that's of course because the Holy Son of Heaven is blessed by a hundred spirits, and ghosts and gods are not allowed to get close." ”

"Oh? Is it? Yuan Shuji sneered: "Even so, why didn't Chongyan Gong ask Zhang Xiang for his dream?" Don't dream of the king of Hanoi? ”

Cui Geng shrugged his shoulders and said, "Yuan Xiang, it's too unreasonable for you to say that, right?" Chongyan Gong always has to ask a person for a dream, and he is well selected as a lower official, what's the problem? How do I know what he thinks? ”

Zhang Cambodia didn't know that Yuan Shuji was involved in Li Xian's case, and he was very unhappy with this guy and his disciple repeatedly, and said in a deep voice: "If Chongyan Gong chooses the prime minister, then does Yuan Xiang ask why he didn't choose Cui Fengchen?" This is too picky in the egg, right? ”

Yuan Shuji made persistent efforts and said, "Okay, this question can also be regarded as Cui Fengchen's pass." However, the original appearance insists on acting and judging the case by dreams, which is too nonsense. It is likely that he found some clues about Hu Chao's crime, which led to today's incident. So, there's a problem that he can't explain clearly. ”

"What's the problem?"

He said that Hu Chao killed Chong Yangong, just a suicide note, it's too far-fetched, right? This book, maybe it was stolen by Hu Chao? Maybe he bought it? ”

Cui Geng was so unhappy that he said: "Hu Chao himself didn't shout injustice, why did you Yuan Xiangye excuse him?" ”

"It's not to exonerate him, but I don't want the real murderer to escape justice!" Yuan Shuji said: "Hu Chao did not defend himself, not because he confessed his guilt, but to cover the mastermind behind the instruction that made him enter the palace to the detriment of His Majesty." Therefore, it is too early to say that the assassination case of Chong Yangong has been clarified. ”

This is the end of the picture!

What Cui Geng pretends to be a ghost, and the crime of bullying the king, it's all a pretext. Yuan Shuji's real purpose is to prevent Cui Geng from turning over the case of the prince Li Xian, who has long been decided.

Wu Zetian was already suspicious, and when he heard this, his eyes flickered a little, and he said, "Cui Aiqing, what do you think?" ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Of course Weichen thinks that the assassination of Chongyan Gong has been investigated. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because...... Weichen still has evidence 1 At the beginning, after Hu Chao killed Chongyangong, the method of covering up the evidence of the crime was as stated in the suicide note. Your Majesty can take the records of the case file of that year and correspond to the records in this suicide note. With the respect of the crown prince, you won't even have to learn the method of concealment, right? ”

"Makes sense!"

The case of Ming Chongyan is an eternal thorn in Wu Zetian's heart, although more than 20 years have passed, those files in the past years are still deeply engraved in her mind.

She hurriedly picked up Ming Chongyan's suicide note, flipped through it quickly, didn't do much effort, and the frown on her face quickly stretched, and said: "Chongyan was really killed by Hu Chao, the evidence is conclusive!" ”

Yuan Shuji said: "Even if Chongyan's suicide note is completely consistent with his death, it can't explain ......"

"Yuan Xiang, please be cautious!"

On the side, Yuan Shuji's close friend Huan Yanfan couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly spoke out to stop it.

He understands that old friends are concerned about it. Indeed, the evidence that Cui Geng said is by no means ironclad. However, after more than 20 years, even the most demanding people would not ask Cui Geng to come up with any irrefutable evidence.

And the most important thing is that Wu Zetian and Li Xian are mother and son after all. Her Majesty the Empress does not want her son to kill her lover~. Therefore, she was born and willing to believe in Cui Geng.

Under the double unfavorable conditions, Yuan Shuji still grasped the details, didn't that add to Her Majesty the Empress?

Sure enough, even though Yuan Shuji immediately understood, he didn't continue. Wu Zetian still replied gloomily: "When Yuan Xiang decided the case, he didn't let go of any suspicious points, he is really a model for officials in the world, and I really wronged you if you let you do things for the Tongluantai Pavilion." In this way, you go back to be your Dali Temple Shaoqing and show your strengths. ”

Yuan Shuji, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was originally a fourth-grade official, but later, Wu Zetian asked him to be the prime minister, and he did not increase his grade, so it was the "same" Luantai Pavilion Pingzhang matter. It's good now, it's equivalent to being the prime minister for nothing, and I didn't catch anything.

Yuan Shuji's face was gloomy, and he said, "Weichen obeys the order!" ”

Huan Yanfan stood up for his old friend and said: "Even if it is true that Hu Chao murdered Chongyangong, Cui Fengchen is indeed investigating the case thoroughly between July 16 and July 20. However, that can only show that Cao Hao is deliberately accusing Cui Fengchen, but it can't show that Cao Hao was framed, right? Why don't you have Yuan Shuji, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, thoroughly investigate the case? ”

Cui Geng's face changed suddenly: "Absolutely not!" ”

"Why not?"

"Uh...... There is some misunderstanding between this official and Yuan Shaoqing, I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to maintain his public heart when investigating this case! ”

"Joke, Yuan Shaoqing is known for his fairness and honesty, and even His Majesty was full of praise just now, how could he declare a personal vendetta?"

Huan Yanfan's official tone, Cui Geng was really difficult to refute head-on, his eyes rolled, and he said, "Liang Wang Chitose, what do you think?" It's not a secret, but the official thinks it...... This case is likely to be unjust, and it is very closely implicated in Hu Chao's case! ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, the implicit meaning was already very obvious - if you don't find a way to pick out Cao Hao, I will chase after Hu Chao's case and beat you hard! Even if Wu Zetian has the heart to let you go, if I insist on investigating, she can't publicly say that the stabbing case can be vaguely passed, right?

Wu Sansi immediately understood, swallowed and foamed, and said: "This official also thinks that this case and Hu Chao's case are very closely involved!" Perhaps, this was done by Hu Chao's comrades. Well...... Lu Xuan, the champion of the new science and martial arts, is very secret from Hu Chaocong, and he can start from him. ”

"Alas!"

Wu Zetian sighed lightly and said, "Since King Liang knows Hu Chao and Lu Xuan very well, this case will be handed over to you for investigation." ”

This is...... Cleared?

Wu San was overjoyed and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

However, Wu Zetian's next sentence made his whole face collapse immediately, and said: "I am ready to move the capital to Chang'an in half a year!" ”
