Of course, Cui Geng understands that this is the time he has repeatedly found another way to solve the problem in front of Wu Zetian, which has produced an effect, and Mrs. Wu is pointing at herself to save the scene.

He coughed lightly and said, "Weichen thinks that the focus of this case is not in Ye Guogong, but in the demon Li Hongtai. ”

Song said angrily: "Cui Ying, you, a minister, do you want to exonerate Zhang Changzong?" Don't forget, in the case of rebellion, no matter the master and the slave, all will be asked and killed! ”

Cui Geng said unhurriedly: "Where, Song Zhongcheng, please be calm and don't be impatient, listen to me finish speaking." ”

"You speak!"

"May I ask Song Zhongcheng, it was Li Hongtai who took the initiative to meet Ye Guogong, but Ye Guogong took the initiative to meet Li Hongtai?"

Song hesitated for a while and said, "It should be Li Hongtai looking for Zhang Changzong to meet." ”

"Well, now here's the problem. If it is said that Ye Guogong is looking for a Taoist priest to meet, he wants to be the emperor. So why did Li Hongtai meet Ye Guogong? ”

Song said uncertainly: "Maybe it's for money?" ”

Cui Geng shook his head and said, "This statement is fallacious. If Li Hongtai was just for money, he should have cheated money, not inciting Ye Guogong to rebel. After all, as soon as this matter is exposed, Li Hongtai will inevitably die. Second, Ye Guogong took the money to rebel, where did he get the money to the demon road? ”

Cui Geng's words are a bit specious, but Song is willing to cooperate.

Song hesitated: "So, Cui Langzhong's conclusion is: The real rebellion is the demon Li Hongtai, and Zhang Changzong was instigated by him?" ”

"Definitely!"

Now, Cui Geng finally threw out his trump card and said loudly: "This official thinks that Ye Guogong fell for Li Hongtai's demon law, and he was unconscious, so he had a rebellion." In essence, he has no intention of rebelling, just a victim! ”

Wipe!

How else can it be explained?

The upright ministers who didn't know the truth scolded in their hearts, "What a traitorous villain, I'm afraid only the famous traitor Zhao Gao in history can be compared with it." ”

Wu Zetian was in his heart, but he gave Cui Ying a hundred likes.

She thought to herself, she is worthy of Cui Aiqing, who can find another way, and this time Zhang Changzong has been whitewashed! "Crazy" is much stronger than what "I have already told in advance". After all, in the law of the Great Zhou, it is clearly written that "sickness" can be forgiven!

At this time, Zhang Changzong's sworn friend, Prime Minister Yang Zaisi, also saw that it was cheap.

He went out of the class and said: "During the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, there was a prisoner Liu Gong, who had the word "victory" engraved on his neck, and claimed that he "must win the world", so he was imprisoned. Taizong said, "If Heaven is going to raise him up, it is not for me to get rid of him; If there is no destiny to follow, what is the use of engraved with the word 'victory'? So he ordered Liu Gong to be released. This matter was rumored to be a beautiful talk, demonstrating Emperor Taizong's benevolence. Today's Ye Guogong crime is different from Liu Gong's crime, and it is the same, please follow suit! ”

Song said anxiously: "All this is Cui Ying's speculation, saying that Ye Guogong was confused by the magic of the demon Dao, what evidence is there?" ”

Other people from the Tai~ sub-party were also anxious and responded one after another.

"Yes, there is no evidence, you can't rely on your white fangs in the air!"

"You said that Zhang Changzong fell into the demon law, and I also said that King Shao fell into the demon law! Who will not be exonerated if this continues? ”

"What demon law? The son is silent, strange and powerful, ghosts and gods! Your Majesty, Weichen, please cure Cui Ying for the crime of bewitching the public with a gossip! ”

……

Cui Geng faced the crowd with no fear on his face.

It wasn't until people's voices gradually lowered that he pressed down with his hands and said, "What's the matter?" Do you really think that I, Cui Ying, have no evidence? Let me tell you, this evidence is far away and close at hand! ”

As he spoke, he pointed forward, and he pointed in the direction of the Buddha statue in the hall!

Cui Geng talked eloquently and said: "Everyone, please think, Li Chongrun, the king of Shao, Li Xianhui, the princess of Yongtai, and Wu Yanji, the king of Wei, are pure and filial by nature, how can they arrange Your Majesty?" Therefore, they must be wronged. In addition, the national teacher Hu Chao has profound virtues, and his spell of "immortal guidance" will not fail to work, right? How can we explain the conflict between the two? ”

Song Dao: "This is all said by you Cui Ying, so what about your opinion?" ”

"According to the official's opinion...... Cui Geng looked around and said firmly: "I thought this must be the demon Li Hongtai who made a ghost and broke the spell of the national teacher Hu Chao." ”

Immediately, he looked at Hu Chao and said, "Hu Guoshi, do you say that this official is right?" ”

Hu Chao said disapprenously: "Joke, the poor monk's mana is profound, how can my spell be interfered with by the demon way?" ”

Cui Geng smiled indifferently and said unhurriedly: "To be honest, this official also has a lot of research on this Buddhist magic. I understand that any spell requires a bodhichitta first. And this bodhichitta is the "seed" of mana. As the seeds grow and grow bigger, the mana of the Buddha cultivators becomes stronger and stronger, and they are gradually able to do what others cannot. National Teacher, take a closer look, has your mana seed been disturbed? ”

When Hu Chao heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "I...... Okay, then I'll sense it. ”

Cui Geng said: "Yes, you have a good sense of induction. Your Majesty has a deep affection for Ye Guogong, and your induction is very important, so don't let Your Majesty down. ”

"Yes, yes, the poor monk will get it!"

In fact, Cui Geng didn't know how to cultivate Buddhism, he guessed Hu Chao's method of pretending to be a ghost: burying a large number of seeds under the Buddha statue. The seeds swelled and took root and sprouted, enough to elevate the position of the Buddha statue. This kind of foolish method has been played rotten by the White Lotus Sect in later generations.

Of course, even though he knows Hu Chao's methods, Cui Geng is not easy to debunk and prove that Hu Chao is a swagger, what's the use? The wrongs of Li Chongrun and others still can't be washed away. It's better to wake him up secretly and let him cooperate with him.

In addition, Cui Geng's last sentence also relieved Hu Chao's worries: Your Majesty also hopes that you will admit this matter, and it will not affect your image as a master in her heart.

Cui Geng's words really worked.

Hu Chao closed his eyes and "sensed" for a long time, and suddenly was shocked, and said: "Oh, the poor monk's spell has really been interfered with!" ”

Immediately, he knelt down on Wu Zetian's knees and said, "Because of the negligence of the poor monk, I almost killed three golden branches and jade leaves, and I ask Your Majesty to punish the crime!" ”

Wu Zetian said magnanimously: "The national teacher should get up." This is all the fault of the demon Li Hongtai, why are you wrong? ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Wu Zetian coughed lightly again and said to the courtiers: "It seems that the truth is already very clear. The demon Li Hongtai plotted against him, first harming Ye Guogong, and then harming my descendants, it is really an unforgivable crime, and he will ...... immediately"

After all, she was afraid that Li Hongtai would talk back, and it would not end well, so she paused and said, "Kill and decide!" ”

Song Dao: "What about Ye Guogong and Shao Wang Chitose and others?" ”

"All acquitted!"

The officials of Zhang Changzong's family immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty is wise. ”

However, the officials of the Tai~sub-party looked at each other, and no one answered.

They understood that this was a deal made by Wu Zetian and everyone at the expense of not pursuing Li Chongrun and the others, in exchange for them not pursuing Zhang Changzong.

Supposedly, this transaction is not impossible, but when you weigh it carefully, you always feel a little lost. After all, Li Chongrun's three people are high and have no power, and they have little strength. But Zhang Changzong can slander Wu Zetian at any time and give everyone a fatal blow. I finally grabbed his pigtails, and it was a pity to let him go like this.

If Wei Yuanzhong's case can be added, everyone can accept this deal. But the problem is, it can't be said that Wei Yuanzhong also fell for Li Hongtai's witchcraft, right?

Seeing this, Wu Zetian's face was slightly gloomy, and he did not continue to speak, and the atmosphere at the scene was suddenly extremely calm.

Now, it's up to the monarch and the ministers who can't hold their breath first.

Pedal pedal pedal ~~

At this critical moment, suddenly, a little eunuch stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Chai Yunrui, the former spring official waiter, asks to see you." ”

I think that at the beginning, Chai Yunrui and Cui Geng went to the Turks together and got this position. Although he has resigned from his official position, with this qualification, he is qualified to directly ask to see Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian said: "Xuanchai Yunrui entered the palace." ”

"Yes!"

The kung fu was not big, and the sound of footsteps, Chai Yunrui suddenly entered.

Seeing that the ceremony was over, Wu Zetian asked, "I don't know what happened when Chai Aiqing came here today?" ”

Chai Yunrui knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Weichen is here to repay his kindness!" ”

"Repay the favor? Who are you reporting to? ”

"One is the grace of Your Majesty, and the other is to repay Wei Yuanzhong's life-saving grace. In order to repay His Majesty's kindness, Weichen arrested the demon Li Hongtai, I don't know if he can confess? ”

Wu Zetian nodded and said, "I have confessed." What do you say about repaying Wei Yuanzhong's kindness? ”

"Your Majesty, do you remember: more than 30 years ago, you and Emperor Gaozong were trapped between Luoyang and Chang'an by tens of thousands of hungry people. At that time, because Weichen committed a crime, he was about to be beheaded by Luoyang Ling, and he came forward for Wei Xiangye to release Weichen and let Weichen make meritorious contributions. Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wei Xiang is Weichen's savior. ”

Of course, Wu Zetian knew about this, and said, "So, you want to plead with me and let Weichen go?" ”

Chai Yunrui kowtowed heavily and said, "Exactly." Weichen thought that first, Wei Xiang had the merit of saving the driver, and even if he was guilty, he should be able to redeem the merit. Second, the case has been delayed for a long time and is still difficult to prove, and it is likely that Wei Xiang was wronged. Therefore, please also ask Your Majesty to raise your noble hand and release Wei Xiang. ”

In fact, in order to reach a compromise with the courtiers, Wu Zetian also had the heart to release Wei Yuanzhong. But, alas, Her Majesty has no steps down!

She hesitated: "Wei Yuanzhong is indeed meritorious, but he is guilty of rebellion, and there is no reason to redeem merit." As for the delay in this case...... Could it be that the case has dragged on for a long time and the person will be released? As soon as this case is opened, there will be endless troubles. ”

As she spoke, she looked at Cui Geng again and said, "Cui Aiqing, what do you think about Wei Yuanzhong's conspiracy against the case?" ”

Hearing this, the courtiers couldn't help but have an idea: Your Majesty has developed the idea of "asking Cui Ying if the state affairs are not decided", grandma's, he is going to heaven!
