Chapter 260: The Mysterious Man of the Wei Mansion
Qin thought for a moment, nodded and said, "What I'm most worried about now is that the case of Zhongsheng Zhongsheng has been exaggerated endlessly. This major case has been used to eliminate dissidents in all dynasties. Anyway, cases related to the royal family must be major and important cases.
What's more, if it is related to Prince Li this time, it will definitely sweep the entire Tang Dynasty. Maybe all the princes of Li will be involved in a big case this time.
"Some things are not something you and I can decide, not even Wei Ting and others. Let's go." Du Ruhui turned around and looked towards the main hall behind him. At this time, he could clearly feel that the main hall behind him was like that
Mysterious and majestic, the so-called principle of accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Because no one can guess the emperor's thoughts. Fang Xuanling beside him also sighed deeply, and the two close friends left together.
In Wei Ting's study, Wei Ting looked at the stack of files in his hand, with a hint of sarcasm on his face. He had been in charge of the Criminal Department for many years, so he naturally knew the mystery behind it. This stack of files looked seamless, but it was just
People who have never been involved in trial cases cannot see it, but people like Wei Ting can see it clearly.
"Hmph, dead people can talk?" Wei Siyan, who was sitting opposite, said coldly.
"In the Jinyi Guards, the dead can speak." Wei Ting said with a smile: "Look. Isn't this the news that their Jinyi Guards got? The king of Shucheng, Li Huan, hid his armor and raised dead soldiers. There is a possibility of rebellion.
"Xiang, among those big families now, which one doesn't have one or two soldiers and armors? It's like one or two dead soldiers. These majesties also know it, don't they say nothing? Then Li Xu is also a county king after all, so...
Are you being arrested on trumped-up charges like this?
"What does a mere county prince mean?" Wei Siren said disdainfully: "In my opinion, the death of Emperor Jian Gong was related to Shi Zhongsheng. You said that there are so many princes in the clan, but they just didn't notice it and still let Shi Zhongsheng succeed.
, it’s really a joke. Behind this, hehe, there must be something wrong. Who is standing behind His Highness? It’s not the old prince. With the old prince here, I’m afraid some people can’t eat well or sleep well.
Well, if the old prince does not die, I am afraid he will go to see the King of Hell."
"He doesn't have the courage." Wei Siyan said in surprise: "If His Majesty knew about this, I'm afraid it would be a serious crime that would destroy the nine tribes! Even if he had the Queen and His Royal Highness behind him, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to save his life.
"There is nothing that the Guanzhong family cannot do. In the late Sui Dynasty, they secretly supported the rebels and became enemies of the imperial court. Wei Siren said disdainfully.
"This case, hehe, I'm afraid it has something to do with the man named Cui!" Wei Ting sneered: "My informant from the Criminal Department once saw Master Cui Ren going to the Jinyi Guards Office before entering the palace." The brother in front of him said.
When the two heard this, they immediately stopped talking. The relationship between Jinyiwei and the Punishment Department was well known in Chang'an City. The two cooperated with each other, but they also competed with each other. It was normal for Wei Ting to have Jinyiwei follow him in front of the Yamen.
"Brother Wei, if we can catch the person named Cui, hehe, then we have made a great contribution. Once this matter spreads, the princes of the clan will not let the person named Cui go. What about the annihilation of the nine clans?
It's a done deal, even if the queen is not dead, she will be deposed, and the crown prince's position will not be secure." Wei Siyan's face was filled with excitement, and he couldn't help but stand up and walk around the study.
"Although we are thinking here, the final power is not in the hands of you and me!" Wei Ting looked at Wei Siyan's excited look and couldn't help pouring cold water on it, sighing: "Anything involving
All cases involving the royal family are, without exception, major cases, and the outcome of major cases is not controlled by the ministers, but is in the hands of His Majesty. Your Majesty says the case will end wherever it ends. That is where it will end."
"Yes." Wei Siren thought for a while and shook his head. The excitement on his face also disappeared without a trace. He had to admit that although Wei Ting's words were ugly, they were correct. He grabbed the kite string.
The person is not himself, but the aloof Emperor.
"But it's okay to take advantage of this opportunity to gain some benefits for my Guanzhong family." Wei Ting said lightly. There was an indescribable weirdness on his face.
"By the way, this is the document about inviting King Shucheng Li Huan to come to the capital. It was signed by Xuande Palace. Which one of you two can go and visit?" Wei Ting took out another official document from several cases. He saw that it was stamped with
With the big seal of Xuande Hall and the slightly smaller one of the Ministry of Punishment, they handed it to the two of them. Li Xu was the prince of the county. Although he belonged to the Li family, more importantly, they just suspected it and had no real evidence.
Of course, as long as you enter Beijing, you will definitely die even if there is no real evidence. What Jin Yiwei did is almost flawless. Unless people like Wei Ting can find some clues in it, it is almost impossible for other people to reverse the case.
possible..
"That's fine, in that case, let me take a trip." Wei Siyan thought for a while, then reached out and took the document. Anyway, there are always people going, and it would be nice if I could get some benefit from it.
"Master, there is someone outside asking to see you. After the two brothers left, suddenly the concierge of the Wei Mansion came in, holding an ordinary greeting card in his hand. It was neither gold nor silver and he said carefully.
"Who? Hey! Let me see." Wei Ting raised his head casually. Ever since he entered Xuande Hall, he received countless invitations like this every day. But invitations usually reflect the owner's personality.
It’s a face-saving invitation, and the greeting card used to pay homage to an important minister of the Xuande Palace like Wei Ting, even if it is not luxurious, must be carefully designed. But the greeting card in front of me is so ordinary, the kind that would be thrown on the ground.
It was the kind that you didn't read. But it was such an ordinary greeting card, and the concierge and housekeeper of the Wei Mansion handed it over respectfully, which made Wei Ting curious.
"Invite him in, remember, go through the back door and go to the pavilion." Wei Ting opened the greeting card and saw that there was no name or surname on it, only the word "Thunderbolt." He felt a slight movement in his heart and immediately waved his hand and said.
"Yes." The concierge did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly went down to give orders. He secretly guessed in his heart who had such great ability, and an ordinary greeting card could make the important officials of Xuande Palace so nervous.
"Why are you here at this time?" Wei Ting said calmly while looking at the carriage in front of him.
There was a kind voice from the carriage, and he just said: "This opportunity is rare. In fact, Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart. If I don't say a few words, I'm afraid Brother Wei doesn't know how to do it?"
"
"Wei is not a fool. He naturally knows how to do it." Wei Ting sneered: "The death of old Prince Jian Gong was obviously plotted by someone behind the scenes. A man named Shi Zhongsheng would never be so bold. That's Prince Shu Cheng."
Li Huan is not so courageous, and it is impossible to be so stupid. The reason why Jin Yiwei presented such evidence is to divert His Majesty's attention. After all, treason is far more important than scheming against the prince.
Duo, hehe, let me say something disrespectful. The reason why His Majesty tolerated the Jin Yiwei's mischief and did not remove Lu Qingyun from his official position is probably to take this opportunity to wipe out all the Li clan members."
"Yes, that's your Majesty's idea. The man in the car smiled and said: "Mr. Wei, although your Majesty did this and thought so, we can't do it. Once we do this, what happens in the future?
If the world wants to speak out, we are the unlucky ones. We should not bear the blame. This blame should be left to that one person!"
"Hehe, Cui is also bold. Aren't he afraid that His Majesty will kill him?" Wei Ting sneered: "I really thought that I could hide it from His Majesty with a diversionary strategy. I am simply too naive."
"Although His Majesty's throne is secure, the matter in Guandong has not yet been resolved. The aristocratic families in Guandong are so powerful that it cannot be resolved in a short time. Your Majesty is also very worried. If there is no ironclad evidence, it is impossible for Your Majesty to deal with it.
He was able to prevent other aristocratic families from counterattacking. A dead person, do you want him to bring down the Cui family? Hehe, this is impossible. Your Majesty is a smart man, so he knows that this matter may have something to do with the Cui family.
Relationship, but still vents his anger on the kings surnamed Li, that's why. Guandong can't be in chaos, and the court can't be in chaos." The people in the car sneered: "There is a saying that makes sense, if you want him to be destroyed
Tu, let him go crazy first. Cui thinks he has the trick, hey, but he doesn’t know that Your Majesty is a brilliant hunter.”
"If we talk about hunters, I'm afraid no one can match you," Wei Ting sneered.
"Master Wei, what you said is wrong. If it comes to your majesty, the world is probably dominated by Master Feng and me." The people in the car did not take Wei Ting's attitude to heart at all.
"Forget it, I won't tell you this anymore. Anyway, you and I have the same goal." Wei Ting said dissatisfied: "Tell me! What do you want me to do?"
"Then what does Mr. Cui want you to do? Then do it." The person in the car said slowly: "But remember, everything here must be reported clearly to the emperor. The results of your investigation and interrogation,
You can report it to Xuande Hall. You know the rules in Xuande Hall, and all the ministers and assistants take turns writing. I don’t need to say this!"
"It is said that this text is the wisest man in the world, and you are not bad either." Wei Ting naturally knew the meaning. He couldn't help but shook his head and said...
"The wisest man in the world?" The person in the car sneered: "No, this text is not it, and neither am I. The wisest man in the world is today's emperor. How can a person who can seize a huge empire so easily be able to do so?"
If you do it, watch! We are all watching! There is no wiser and more powerful person than Your Majesty.
Wei Ting nodded when he heard this. Rebellion is also a technical job, and not everyone can succeed. There are countless people who have rebelled in history, but those who can succeed can only be counted on one hand. What's more important
What's more, there are very few people who can win so easily. But Lu Zhaoci did it, a huge layout, he just put the Li family and his son into it, making them kill each other, and
However, Lu Zhaoci was a scumbag and took advantage of it and sat on the throne of the emperor. If there is a new person in this world, he will naturally not let go of the people of the previous dynasty. If we say that Lu Zhaoci, who had just ascended the throne, might
He was wary of the influence of the people, but things are different now. Will Lu Zhaoci, who has already secured his position, let go of the Li kings? Even Wei Ting knows that this is impossible. So he clearly knows that Li
Xu may have been wrongly accused, but he still asked Wei Ting to investigate. It is said that you can't wrong a good person, but you can't let a bad person go. Wei Ting has been immersed in the ways of intrigue since he was a child. Perhaps his attainments in this area are not as good as this article
Originally, Changsun Wuji also knew the meaning of this sentence and what the emphasis of this sentence was. As soon as Emperor Zhenguan said this, he already explained what the consequences would be for King Shucheng Li Huan, and even those who
The princes of the clan named Li will also be unlucky because of this. I don’t know how many people will be involved in this matter!
"One more thing, you should pay more attention to the person in the car." The person in the car said: "I'm afraid that the case of Li Xu will be spread in Chang'an City soon. The prince surnamed Li may be wary. These people are afraid of His Majesty proclaiming the emperor."
But the hatred is in their hearts! The desire to restore the country has never been broken, and the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji must be the objects of their assistance. Once the Li Xu case breaks out, these people will be afraid that His Majesty will eradicate the Li family, and they will definitely
They will try their best to send the sons of Li Jiancheng and Li Yuanji out of Chang'an City so that they live among the people. They may even plot to rebel in the future. These are all possible. Now you have to send people to keep an eye on the clan surnamed Li to avoid them.
Escape from Chang'an City, and the court will have to go through a lot of trouble in the future. It is best to nip this kind of trouble in the cradle."
"Yes, you are very thoughtful. Wei Ting also has to admire this guy's very thoughtful thinking. No wonder he has achieved this status today. People who think of things that others cannot think of are smart people. Wei Ting is deeply impressed by this."
He sighed, being below this person, it still makes sense.
"Hmph, I'm afraid not only I have thought of it, this text must have also thought of it. Maybe at this time, he has already used the Jin Yiwei." The person in the car said calmly. There was no look of pride in his words at all.
"No!" Wei Ting frowned. Are there only so many smart people in this world?
"Okay, it's getting late, I should say goodbye." The person in the car knocked on the car gently. Wei Ting did not dare to neglect, and quickly ordered someone to drive the car and send this mysterious man out.
