Yan Zhi turned his face slightly, didn't dare to look at Cui Geng, and said, "I'm going to die, what's the good of accusing you?" Hmph, Cui Changshi's words are not worth refuting! ”

"What's good...... Of course there is. Cui Geng said firmly: "If you are ordered by Junchen to accuse your own official, you can avoid the situation of raiding your family and exterminating your family, isn't this a great benefit?" ”

After a pause, he suddenly sighed and said, "Yan Zhiwei, let me tell you, it's useless, everything is doomed, and it's hard to change." ”

Yan Zhiwei's courage was not very big, and when he said it so godly, he suddenly felt a little chill in his spine, and said, "What...... What do you mean? ”

Cui Genglang said: "Since the year of Longshuo in the Tang Dynasty, there has been a song and ballad in the world, and its name is Turkic salt. Today, you, Yan Zhiwei, betrayed my Great Zhou and took refuge in the Turks, which is exactly the response of the Turkic salt. ”

"That's reasonable!" It was not someone else who spoke, it was none other than King Wu Yizong of Hanoi.

This person is an expert in civil war, and he is not a simple straw bale. It can even be said that today, there are really few people who know Wu Zetian's mind better than him.

This time, the Great Zhou sent Wu Yanxiu to Mo Xuan as the son-in-law, but as a result, the people not only accepted the dowry and detained the prince, but also led the troops to fight the Great Zhou, which can really be called a loss of the wife and the soldiers.

So...... Who should carry this pot? Her Majesty naturally refused to carry it. However, before making this decision, Tian Guidao was fiercely opposed, did you Wu Zetian say that he was not responsible, did he explain the past?

Cui Geng's words provided a perfect solution - the fault is all God's, and it has nothing to do with Her Majesty the Empress.

Immediately, Wu Yizong couldn't care about Junchen's face, and immediately decided to accept this statement and play the court.

Lai Junchen naturally understood this truth, and said: "Even if Yan Zhiwei's defection to the enemy is doomed, it doesn't mean that he must be exterminated by his family, right?" ”

Cui Geng smiled slightly and said, "Of course, I can't explain this ballad alone." However, don't forget one sentence when you come to Shaoqing - clan salt. ”

"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wu Yizong immediately understood, and said: "Since the time of Lin De, when the people drink, they often sing, and those who have not drunk the wine after singing are called "clan salt". Unexpectedly, this title is a proverb! ”

"Huh? Is it really predestined by God? Come to Shaoqing, what can I do? You promised me that as long as I testify against Cui Geng, you can protect the Yan clan! ”

Yan Zhiwei's courage was not very big, otherwise he would not have been frightened by Mo Du, so he would have surrendered on his knees.

In the past few days, he first defected to the Turks and was named Han Khan, then abandoned by the Turks and became a prisoner of the Zhou army, and then was personally ordered to be executed by Wu Zetian himself, and finally reached a dirty deal with Lai Junchen.

It's just that every moment, he is sliding towards the bottomless abyss, and now after a burst of intimidation from Cui Geng, his spirit has reached the verge of collapse.

Damn!

How did you tell the truth? It's really muddy and can't get up to the wall!

Lai Junchen hurriedly cleared his eyes and said: "Yan Zhiwei, what you did, according to the laws of my Great Zhou, is just your own death, and you can't even reach the three clans!" Why do you need this official to promise you any conditions? What nonsense! ”

Cui Geng said with a smile: "Originally, Yan Zhiwei was indeed not worthy of the crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, but don't forget, falsely accuse and sit back!" He falsely accused the official of coming back to trouble the Great Zhou Dynasty in the name of silence, isn't this enough? ”

Guo Ke's eyes lit up, and he said: "So, if you extrapolate from this prophecy, Yan Zhiwei must be falsely accused?" ”

"Yes!"

According to what he said, Cui Geng's purpose has been achieved. In history, it was precisely in order to save face that Wu Zetian made up these two political rumors and spread them among the people.

Now, if he said these two things in advance, Her Majesty the Empress is likely to push the boat with the flow. However, he soon had a surprise -

"Haha, false accusations and reverse, raiding the family and exterminating the clan!"

"Come to Junchen, you hurt our Yan family, and I won't let you go if I am a ghost!"

"Yes, I, Yan Zhiwei, am a great loyalty, and I was framed by Lai Junchen!"

"No, I haven't surrendered to the Turks! It's all made up by Lai Junchen. O heaven, O earth, loyal ministers have been wronged, is there still heavenly reason for this? ”

……

What kind of mess is this?

People looked at each other, and Qi Qi realized a very serious problem: Yan Zhiwei was stimulated too much and went crazy!

Lai Junchen was afraid that he would talk nonsense about any secrets, so he waved his hand and said, "Take it down!" Take this madman down! ”

After Yan Zhiwei left, Guo Ke said proudly: "Three people confirmed it, and two people proved it." Now Yan Zhiwei has gone crazy, and there are only two witnesses left. Come to Shaoqing, is it time for us to acquit Cui Changshi? ”

"Humph! Is that cheap? ”

Lai Junchen was deflated again and again, and said angrily: "People are bitter insects and can't fight them, and people are wood carvings and can't fight them!" Cui Geng, since you are stubborn, don't blame this official for the punishment! Come on, give this official eighty boards! ”

Bang Da~~

Two sticks were thrown to the bottom of the hall!

Wait, how are there two sticks?

The officials of Dali Temple saw it clearly, and they all looked at the owner of the other stick, Xu Yougong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.

But seeing that the old man Xu suddenly got up, he pointed at Lai Junchen's nose and scolded: "Come on, pull Lai Junchen down for the old man, and beat sixty boards!" ”

Lai Junchen couldn't believe his ears, and said, "Xu Yougong, you're so old and confused, aren't you?" Why are you hitting me? ”

"Of course, it's based on the laws of the Great Zhou!" Xu Yougong said loudly: "The law of the Great Zhou Dynasty has a saying, interrogating a prisoner, you must first use your feelings, try their reasoning, and repeatedly refer to it, but it is still undecided, and those who need to be interrogated will file a case, and then torture and interrogate, and the violator will be given sixty rods!" Come to Junchen, if the facts are not clear, you will be punished in vain, why is it wrong for the old man to beat you? ”

"You ......" When it comes to being familiar with the law, Lai Junchen can't match Xu Yougong, so he has to say: "Even if this official violates the law, it is not something that your little Dali Temple Shaoqing can judge!" ”

"Yes, Lai Shaoqing and Xu Shaoqing are both fourth-grade officials, and he is not qualified to judge you." Guo Ke suddenly answered: "But...... He represents Ben Hou, do you say he is qualified? ”

Lai Junchen suffered a loss, and now the grade is too low, so he has to say: "Eh...... Although I am qualified, you have no right to judge me without His Majesty's edict. ”

"Then you will wait for Your Majesty's edict! As for this case...... Let's talk about it later! ”

Of course, Guo Ke couldn't really call Junchen, just now he was just advancing and retreating. As soon as he made a look, the officials of Dali Temple came over and took Cui Geng away.

Lai Junchen knew that he couldn't do anything, so he didn't stop him, and took Wan Guojun and Li Jingmen's people back to the magistrate's house.

Leaving the maids and servants who were waiting, Wan Guojun said, "Come on, my lord, can't you do this?!" With Xu Wuzhu, our ordinary framing methods are useless, plus Yan Zhiwei is so crazy......"

"Hmph, Brother Wan, you still haven't seen the roots!" Lai Junchen said: "Without Guo Ke, why did Xu Wuzhan participate in the trial?" This matter is not even on Guo Ke's body, without Li Zhaode's face, Xu Wuzhan will not take the initiative to wade into this muddy water no matter what. ”

"Then according to what you mean, should we deal with Guo Ke first, or Li Zhaode first?"

Lai Junchen groaned for a while, slapped a few cases suddenly, and said: "If you want to do it, make a big one, and this official will kill them all!" ”

……

……

Three days later, the morning dynasty.

Lai Junchen suddenly came out of class and knelt down, and said: "Li Zhaode intends to rebel, the evidence is conclusive, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime according to the law!" ”

As soon as this statement came out, it was really earth-shattering!

You must know that Lai Junchen has not moved to the prime minister before, but it was all through secretly telling Wu Zetian. It's too greasy here, and Lai Junchen can fabricate evidence and frame him.

But now, he brought it up in the morning, this is the rhythm of having a hard anus with Li Zhaode! Does he really have any definite proof?

Li Zhaode's number one henchman, Qiu Guan Shangshu Dou Lu Qinwang, immediately stood up and accused: "Boldly come to Junchen, Hugh has to be untrustworthy!" Li is loyal to His Majesty, but Zhao Sun and Moon, how can he rebel? ”

Lai Junchen sneered and said, "You Doulu Qinwang and Li Zhaode are in the same party, of course you intend to exonerate him." However, it can't be fake, and it can't be fake. Do you remember that three years ago, Li Zhaode once asked the Khitan chieftain Sun Wanrong to be the general of the right Yuqiwei, the assassin of Chengzhou, and the prince of Yongle County? ”

"If so, so what?"

"Huh, what's the matter? General Yu Yuwei is a position on the third grade, Sun Wanrong is a Khitan, how can he be worthy of such a high position? To put it clearly, he was bribed by Sun Wanrong: eight horses, fifty taels of gold, and twenty Dongzhu......

As he spoke, he took out a gift slip from his sleeve pocket, held it high, and said, "Your Majesty, please take a look!" ”

A eunuch came over, took the gift list, and presented it to Wu Zetian for a look.

To tell the truth, is it true that Li Zhaode, the dignified prime minister, can only live on less than 5,000 yuan a year? Wu Zetian didn't care much whether he really took bribes or fake bribes, and said casually: "Is this true? What does this have to do with rebellion? ”

"Weichen said three things, and His Majesty understood......"

Lai Junchen's voice sounded gloomily in the court, and when the courtiers heard it, they were immediately cold and cold to the bone marrow.

The first thing is that Li Zhaode has always advocated the establishment of Li Xian, the king of Luling, as the crown prince, and wrote a "Letter of Invitation to Build the Emperor's Heir" to Wu Zetian.

The second thing is that Sun Wanrong not only bribed Li Zhaode, but also had a close relationship with Li Xian. Now the question is, what benefits can he get from stammering Li Zhaode with Li Zhaode and becoming a knight? His heart is damned!

The third thing is that on the night three days ago, Li Zhaode led more than 100 officials to forcibly break into the Governor's Yuan. Among them are Cui Yuanzong, Wei Juyuan, Du Jingjian, the prime ministers of the current dynasty, Lu Qinwang, the autumn official Shangshudou, the winter official Shangshu Lu Yuanfang, Liang Wang Wu Sansi, Wei Wang Wu Chenghei, and Fuyuan Marquis Guo Ke...... All of them are powerful figures!

One thing alone is nothing, but when these three things are combined, it's too hard to find! It is likely that Li Zhaode plans to use the power of the Khitan to help Li Xian regain the throne!

The most important thing is that he not only has this idea, but also this ability! The reason is very simple, since Li Zhaode can take so many people to forcibly break into the Push Yuan, can't he bring so many people to force the palace to force Wu Zetian?

Especially Guo Ke, who was named Marquis of Fuyuan by Wu Zetian and inspected Zuo Yulinjun, has 20,000 elite soldiers under his command, once he supports Li Xian, the consequences are unimaginable.

Obviously, Lai Junchen proposed these three things to immediately raise the rhythm of a big prison, I don't know how many colleagues in this court are left?

Some people even thought that Li Zhaode had summoned so many people in order to save Governor Shi Cui Geng, and now Li Zhaode and Guo Ke are going to be unlucky, I am afraid that he Cui Geng is even more inescapable!
