MTL - The Human Emperor-Chapter 5 First battle!
On the other side, Li Taiyi raised his eyebrows, but looked as usual.
The scene in front of him did not surprise him. He had just left the royal racecourse with his front foot, and the second prince Li Chengyi had been notified by the fourth prince.
With Li Chengyi's character, this is an opportunity that is difficult to sew for thousands of years. How could he easily let go.
But if he thought he would be dead, he would be wrong.
Li Taiyi turned his eyes and ignored the big brother Li Chengyi, who was "the generous speech" in the hall, but turned his head to look at the head of the hall, the father of the golden lacquered dragon throne.
In this hall, only one person can really determine his destiny.
"Rebel, what else can you say?"
Tang Emperor's face was like frost, and his expression did not relax at all.
"Father and Emperor, the son-in-law did kill Huo Yuan. However, everything the son-in-law did was not only a private complaint, but also for Datang!"
Li Taiyi bowed his head in a bowed manner, his expression was generous, and his voice was even louder. Even when facing Manchu Dynasty's sword-like gaze, he calmly and calmly did not panic.
As soon as this sentence came out, all the palace ministers looked stunned. Even the Emperor Tang on the golden lacquered dragon throne, his expression fluctuated slightly.
Today's Xuan Geer, compared to usual, seems completely different.
At least, he was able to say this in front of the group officials, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, in just a moment, everyone reacted.
"Three princes, you dare to discern! The facts are there, and in the presence of your majesty, you dare to be arrogant, nonsense, and hopeless!"
"For Datang? Did you kill people for Datang? Your Majesty, this matter must not be tolerated!"
"The prince committed the same crime as the common people, and the prince slaughtered the court and ordered the official. This kind of evil deeds must be severely punished. Otherwise, what is the majesty of national laws?
"Three princes, you can think about it, deceive the Holy One, this is a sin plus one!"
...
Suddenly, the group officials were indignant. The Tang Dynasty ruled Qingming with officials. The law of the Tang Dynasty was as high as the Tang Emperor, and the people of the group officials must abide by it. The behavior of the three princes has obviously committed public anger.
In the main hall, seeing this scene, Li Chengyi's face did not change color, but there was a slight smile in the corner of his mouth, only looking at today's situation, his third brother, fearing that he would die.
But on the other side, Li Taiyi looked as usual, slowly glancing over the ministers, then smiled, and he was confident:
"Father and Emperor, I don't know if you remember, in January of 14 years, when the Quzhou floods happened, I was greedy for the disaster relief money?"
"This matter has already fallen to the ground. What do you do about this?"
Tang Huang frowned and said in a deep voice.
"Three princes, things have passed so long, do you have to quibble?"
In the main hall, the group ministers also had a bad face, and the three princes were really hopeless.
"Father and Emperor, in that incident, it was not the children who were really greedy for the disaster relief money, but Huo Yuan!"
Li Taiyi said long.
"!!!"
The voice had just fallen, and there was silence in the hall. Then it fell like a boulder.
Li Taiyi's words were not expected by anyone.
Even Li Chengyi in the main hall was shocked, and there was a trace of surprise in the steep.
Somehow, he suddenly had a bad feeling.
"Sanlang, do you have evidence?"
On the golden lacquered dragon throne, the Emperor Tang's expression also became more dignified.
"Father and Emperor, the son-in-law intercepted a batch of account books earlier, which recorded in detail the whereabouts of the disaster-stricken officer's silver, and everything was inseparable from Huo Yuan. Then, the son-in-law conducted a private investigation and the result Found to be very involved."
Li Taiyi lowered his head and said in a deep voice.
"Because this matter is of great importance, the son-in-law handed over all the information collected to the Penal Department seven days ago. Why? Didn't the elder brother receive it?
Speaking of the last sentence, Li Taiyi turned to look at Li Chengyi in the hall.
In just one sentence, Li Chengyi jumped in his heart, and the whole person changed his face.
He was trusted by the Tang Emperor and had just been able to participate in politics, and he is currently responsible for the Penal Department.
Regarding the issue of Zhenzhen, the official was investigated by him before.
More importantly, not long ago, the Criminal Department did receive an account book and a letterhead, but little is known about it, and Huo Yuan turned to him and was already a member of his camp, so Li Chengyi It is detained to keep Huo Yuan.
Later, Li Chengyi even sent someone to check the tail left by Huo Yuan, who actually submitted the account information, and where was the information collected from.
It's just that no matter how he investigated, he didn't find the other party's clue.
He didn't expect it to be the third brother he hadn't kept in mind!
"I--"
Everyone looked at it, so many ministers looked at it, and even Li Chengyi couldn't help but stunned for a while, and there was no response.
But before he could get him to explain, Li Taiyi immediately said:
"No, the elder brother has always been fair, and even the courtiers have always admired it. This matter has nothing to do with the elder brother. Is it possible that someone has worked under the eyes of the elder brother to detain the submitted information? This is disrespectful. !"
After a word, the second prince Li Chengyi looked ugly.
Li Taiyi's words are like swords and arrows.
If he says he doesn’t know, he is incompetent and has the expectation of his father. If he knows, it means that he has no prince and knows the law and breaks the law. This is the crime of bullying the king.
Regardless of whether he admits or denies, Li Taiyi has already pushed himself into the water in front of his group of ministers, especially his father and emperor, and has fallen into an extremely passive position.
This is extremely bad for him.
Sure enough, when he heard Li Taiyi's words, Emperor Tang's eyes were cold, and the cold eyes swept to His Highness Li Chengyi like a cold winter wind.
"Shengyi, did this happen?"
Emperor Tang's voice thundered like thunder, and came to everyone's ears.
Feeling Tang Huang's eyes, Li Chengyi stiffened, but his reaction was quick, immediately bowed his head and saluted Tang Tang, solemnly saying:
"Father emperor, son-in-law did not receive such discount!"
Li Chengyi lowered his head, everyone could not see his expression, but only he knew how shocked he was at the moment.
Today's Xuan Ge'er feels too wrong for him. When did he become so sharp?
Is this still my third brother?
What's even more terrible is that because of his previous coquettish image, everyone looks down on him, and if he is not in his eyes, how can he guard against him.
Who would have thought that so much has been done in private!
Could it be that he has been playing the role of a pig and a tiger, and that is what he really is.
If so, then this kid's castle is too deep and terrible.
However, if he thought that he could overthrow himself, it would be too simple.
"Father and emperor, officials of the penal department, conscientious devotion and loyalty, this is known to the father emperor and all the ministers, even if they did not submit it, it must have a reason, or the book itself is not enough. I believe that it is too childish, so I will not post it. After all, the penal department receives many discounts every year, and almost all of them are piled up."
Li Chengyi said in a deep voice.
At the main hall, the ministers nodded involuntarily. The Penal Department did have a lot of affairs. It managed nearly ten million square kilometers of land in Middle-earth Shenzhou, involving tens of thousands of people. There are indeed many such discounts.
Moreover, in fact, regardless of the private enmity of some communiques, the intentional arrangement of other people's discounts, it is impossible for the Criminal Department to investigate everything.
"Of course, if there is nothing wrong with the Penal Department, there is still a possibility that the third brother hasn't sent it at all, or the third brother wants to do this, but the people under his hands are not doing things well, and they haven't sent it at all, or sent it to another place."
"After all... this is not the first time that the third brother knows someone unknown."
At the end, Li Chengyi stared at Li Taiyi and smiled coldly.
Huo Yuan, who was killed by Li Taiyi, did not serve him at first?
Other people don't know this, will the father emperor know?
More importantly, as long as he didn't receive the bite of the death penalty department, what could this brother Xuan do?
"Saburo?"
Hearing this, Emperor Tang's expression suddenly became serious, and said coldly.
"Humph!"
Li Taiyi stared at Li Chengyi with a cold smile, and his second prince could not help but think of him as too simple. Really thought he could be confused by three or two sentences?
If he is really unprepared, how can he be in broad daylight, with all eyes on him, shoot Huo Yuan?
"Father and Emperor, the sons dare not lie to them. Fortunately, in order to prevent loss, the sons surrendered only copies."
Li Taiyi immediately bowed:
"The real originals are still in the hands of the children, and the children have ordered people to take those originals outside the palace."
As soon as the voice fell, I only heard Li Taiyi's hands "slap", and the sound of a wheel turning sounded from outside the hall. At the next moment, I saw three little eunuchs appearing outside the Taihe Hall pushing three small carts.
"This this……"
Seeing three small carts and books stacked on top of the mountain, the hall was buzzing.
A shocking look appeared in the eyes of all the officials, especially the Taishi and Taifu who had been unmoved in the main hall, and a subconscious glance at Li Taiyi. The look was quite unexpected.
As for Li Chengyi, although he still tried his best to maintain his composure on the surface, his heart was already ugly.
Everything in front of him is completely beyond his expectations.
He did not expect that Li Taiyi was fully prepared to this point.
On the other side, the **** in charge of Tang Emperor's side was instructed, and immediately walked quickly towards the three small carts. After taking a book, he returned to the Zhu Qifang platform and gave Tang to his hands. Emperor.
The Tang Emperor took it, but just turned his eyes, and his face suddenly became extremely green. He snapped and threw the book on the ground, and said angrily:
"Gu Lianqing, Liu Shiming, Fei Qi..., you are so brave! I think you are so valued. You even stole the treasury and misappropriated public food!"
"Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life!"
Before the words fell, several middle-aged officials dressed in purple robes looked as if they were standing on their knees, kowtowing and begging for mercy.
Looking closely, a small half of the officials in Taihe Hall actually kneeled out. Obviously, with so many accounts, the content is too detailed, which they can't resist.
In an instant, Tang Huang's complexion became even darker.
"Your Majesty, corruption is a felony, and since the imperial court appropriation, the time involved, the officials involved in this matter must be at least two years, of which the change of officials, large and small, is more than just the name!"
"Your Majesty, this matter is very important, and it concerns the face of the royal family. It must be thoroughly investigated!"
At this time, the Taishi Taifu standing beside the Tang Emperor spoke.
They thought that the Chaotang was about the consideration of Prince Xuan, but they never thought that in the end, they even involved a serious corruption case.
Corruption is the country's money, and people are the people's money, they will never appease!
"Your Majesty, the minister suggested that you investigate the matter thoroughly! All officials involved in the case will be severely punished and will not be tolerated!"
"Secretary!"
"Secretary!"
...
Hearing what the teacher and the master said, many officials went out and said in a deep voice.
"Duan Yushi, let this matter be handled by you! Be sure to get all these people out!"
After Tang Tang pondered for a moment, his voice thundered, resounding throughout the Taihe Temple.
Emperor's fury is like dragon fury!
In the face of so much evidence, Emperor Tang was furious, and that kind of pressure was unbearable for all of them.
"Xuan'er, no matter what your reason is, you can't kill the court officials. Although according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, it should have been cut, but it is because of what happened to you, solved the serious case of embezzlement and corruption, and saved the country for the time being.
"But this kind of bad, must not be opened without permission, death penalty is exempt, live crime is inevitable, starting today, you confine Yulong Palace. Within three months, without my order, you are strictly forbidden to step out of the hall."
"Thank you father emperor!"
Li Taiyi heard the words and immediately knelt down to thank her.
Everything today is within his expectation. The confinement in March has already had the smallest impact.
On the other side, looking at an official dragged out by Jin Wuwei, an official named Zi or Zipao or Qipao or Greenpao, the second prince Li Chengyi was stunned on the spot.
He deliberately grabbed Li Taiyi's handle and summoned it. It was enough for him to slap him. The camp that he was pulling was finally beaten up by Li Taiyi.
Moreover, what he did not think of was that he paid such a big price that Li Taiyi was just being imprisoned for such a small punishment.
In an instant, Li Chengyi was extremely resentful.
Looking at Li Taiyi's back, Li Chengyi gritted his teeth:
"Li Sanlang, you will pay the price, this is not over yet!"
...
When I got on the palace bus, I left the Taihe Temple and returned to the Jade Dragon Palace.
Li Taiyi sat on the bed of golden sandalwood inlaid with gold panlong, closed his eyes slightly, and looked carefully. In the void, a spiritual force rushed into Li Taiyi's body from the outside to the inside, at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Practice!
Li Taiyi knows that his current body is too weak. If he wants to change the Tang Dynasty and lead the Tang Dynasty to reverse the world, in addition to changing the impression of everyone and gaining his position in the court, he must improve his physique and enter a higher position. realm.
His current cultivation is only true martial arts, and the generals of the Tang Dynasty are at least Xuanwu realm, he must first find a way to enter Xuanwu realm!
"Boom boom!"
While Li Taiyi was thinking, a soft and rhythmic knock on the door rang.
