Chapter 199

Seeing the ministers being angry, Li Jiancheng frowned. This scene made him more sure that this was the Guanlong Group's meaning, otherwise how could so many people agree?

In fact, Li Jiancheng really made this matter complicated. In fact, these ministers were actually the Confucianism at their core. They were dissatisfied with Li Haochen's actions in Henan. However, if they were asked to participate in Li Haochen's interview, they would not dare to do so, because they knew that Li Haochen's saint's family was long. However, at this moment, Changsun Wuxing became the first to shout for him. After all, even if the emperor blamed him, he would blame Changsun Wuxing first, and he would not blame them.

Li Jiancheng looked serious and knew that things would develop in a bad direction if this continued, so he cleared his throat and said, "This matter is of great importance. It is related to the rank of the border officials, Prime Minister Wei, what do you think about this?" Li Jiancheng pointed out Wei Zheng's general, but in fact he was obviously trying to favor Li Haochen because he knew that Wei Zheng and Li Haochen had a good personal relationship.

Wei Zheng also understood this in his heart. When he heard Li Jiancheng's question, he hurriedly stood up and said, "What Your Majesty said just now is that this matter is related to the officials of the border. You should not listen to it in a partial way. If you punish Li Haochen just by just this memorial, it will inevitably make all the officials guarding the same way feel heartbroken, and even be used by those who are interested in causing greater changes." He said that all the ministers who were just willing to punish Li Haochen were all angry at Wei Zheng. If it weren't for his concern, someone would have cursed him.

Wei Zheng ignored these gazes that could kill people and continued, "But Your Majesty, the massacre of the victims is unforgivable. Since someone has participated in the report, Your Majesty must not be ignored. I suggest sending an imperial envoy to Henan Road to investigate the truth. If it is true as the memorial said, then Li Haochen will naturally be unforgivable! But if Li Haochen was wronged, he can also give him a cleansing. This is my suggestion. Please ask Your Majesty to judge!" After Wei Zheng finished speaking, the ministers' faces looked a little better.

Li Jiancheng nodded slightly, thinking that Wei Zheng was safe in his work. If he blindly covered up Li Haochen, he would definitely dissatisfied some powerful people. However, if he was punished like this, it would probably not be Li Jiancheng's idea. But if an imperial envoy was sent to investigate the case, it would give this matter a buffer time and he could make a long-term plan. At the same time, since ancient times, the imperial envoy sent by the emperor were all people trusted by the emperor. Then, the imperial envoy sent to investigate the case, wouldn't he be able to investigate the case as much as he wanted to investigate the case? In that case, everything would be in his control.

Li Jiancheng thought this way, nodded in his heart with satisfaction, and then stood up and left the dragon throne and walked towards the inner court. At the same time, the eunuch beside him whispered: "Retreat!"

Changsun Wuxing still knelt on the ground with a blank expression. He never thought that the emperor would handle this matter like this. What he couldn't figure out was that the emperor wanted to take the imperial envoy down to investigate the case, but after Wei Zheng finished his suggestion, the emperor agreed directly and did not ask the ministers to discuss it again. This was completely different from the rules and there was no negotiation at all, so the emperor made a decision.

In fact, Li Jiancheng didn't want them to discuss this matter anymore. If the Guanlong nobles were really making trouble behind the scenes, they would be rejected by the ministers for a while, even if they sent an imperial envoy to investigate the case, they would be really passive. So Li Jiancheng, who seemed weak, chose to cut the mess quickly and beat the final decision.

After the morning court, Li Jiancheng summoned Prime Minister Wei Zheng alone, and the two discussed the candidates for the imperial envoy. In fact, it was enough to send one person to investigate the case, but Li Jiancheng had already determined that it was the Guanlong nobles who were in trouble. Most of the ten people who served as imperial envoys in the court were from the Guanlong noble group, which made Li Jiancheng difficult for a while. I don’t know who to send to be the imperial envoy to investigate the case. If the imperial envoys continued to do so, they would probably backfire. Therefore, the candidates for the imperial envoys were difficult for Li Jiancheng.

After understanding the question in Li Jiancheng's mind, Wei Zheng pondered for a moment and said, "I have an idea. Why don't Your Majesty send the prince to find out this matter? The first prince is the crown prince of the country. It must be enough. The second prince will definitely understand Your Majesty's intentions and will definitely be able to act according to Your Majesty's thoughts."

Li Jiancheng suddenly felt happy when he heard this. He nodded with Wei Zheng's suggestion very satisfied. However, after a moment, Li Jiancheng shook his head with a worried look and said, "After all, the prince is still too young and lacks experience. I'm afraid he will be used by someone who is interested in it, and he is not suitable!"

Li Jiancheng's worries are not unreasonable. His son knows best what he is like. He cannot say how bad the prince Li Chengzong is. However, Li Jiancheng knew in his heart that the prince had received Confucian education since the end and believed in the traditional benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness. He would definitely resist Li Haochen's approach. Once things deviate, there would be no room for maneuver. After all, the authority of the crown prince needs to be maintained.

Wei Zheng knew what Li Jiancheng was worried about, so he continued: "Why don't your Majesty send another person to serve as the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy to assist the prince from the side, so that he can ensure that everything is foolproof."

After hearing Wei Zheng's words, Li Jiancheng nodded, expressed his satisfaction with Wei Zheng's proposal, and then asked Wei Zheng: "Why can the Prime Minister think that someone can be the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy?"

Listening to Li Jiancheng's question, Wei Zheng knelt down and said, "My teacher, Mao recommends himself and is willing to be the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, go to Henan Road with the prince to find out the truth! Let Your Majesty share the worries!"

Li Jiancheng quickly helped Wei Zheng up and said, "The Prime Minister is willing to go to the best. However, I will be relieved if you go. You can also help me teach the prince well along the way! But the Prime Minister still needs to go and go back quickly. I cannot do without you in this major event in the court!"

Wei Zheng hurriedly said, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's entrusted!"

As the two finished their discussion, the matter was settled. The next day, Li Jiancheng issued an order, ordering the Crown Prince Li Chengzong to be the imperial envoy and the Prime Minister Wei Zheng to be the deputy minister of the imperial envoy. He went to Henan Road to investigate the case of the Chief Censor General Sun Wuxing participating in the case of the Lecheng Hou and the Henan General Li Haochen massacre of the disaster victims. The truth was found within one month and reported to the court. At the same time, the Lecheng Hou Li Haochen's duties as the Henan Road Jingluo envoy was suspended and the imperial envoy was cooperated with the imperial envoy to find out the truth.

The imperial envoy, Crown Prince Li Chengzong and the imperial envoy, Deputy Prime Minister Wei Zheng, received the imperial edict, bid farewell to Emperor Li Jiancheng, and set off from Chang'an and headed for Henan Road.
