Chapter 1336 justice is only in the heart
Inside the Tai Chi Hall!
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"All my beloveds are calm."
Li Zhi, who had been showing up for a long time, finally appeared. Although his face was good, he still looked a little tired between his eyebrows. Although this matter was not fatal to deal with, it was the most tormenting thing.
Xu Jingzong couldn't wait to stand up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, the case of Dali Temple Chief Bi Zhengyi has been reviewed."
Li Zhi said, "What's the result?"
Xu Jingzong looked at Liu Rengui.
Liu Rengui stood up and said after a while: "Report to Your Majesty, according to the verification by the empress, Bi Zhengyi secretly released the criminal Chun from the prison, and then sent the criminal Chun to Li Zhongshu's mansion as a concubine. After the matter was exposed, Bi Zhengyi committed suicide in prison for fear of his crime."
It is very simple and not detailed. As for whether it was instructed by Li Yifu, whether it had anything to do with Li Yifu, he would not say anything, I only said what I found out.
Xu Jingzong hurriedly added: "It is obvious that Bi Zhengyi wanted to use this to commit a crime and please Li Zhongshu and seek a way to promote his promotion. His heart is evil and he can be punished. Now he commits suicide in fear of crime, which is a disadvantage."
Li Yifu stood up and said, "I was negligent for a moment and did not ask about the woman's origin. I committed a serious crime. I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish me."
General Xin Mao also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Bi Zhengyi is a subordinate of the minister. He committed such a serious crime, and I have no choice but to ask Your Majesty to punish him."
This has been discussed a long time ago. It cannot be said that Li Yifu has not made any mistakes at all. If you should admit it, you have to admit it. Li Zhi has to give it a step.
Li Zhi nodded slightly and was about to speak when he suddenly heard someone outside the hall shouting: "Your Majesty, Bi Zhengyi did not commit suicide, but died of murder."
This shout was like a thunderclap on the ground. The civil and military officials in the court were shocked. They all looked back and saw an official in green robe coming to the door. Because only officials of fifth rank or above can enter the hall, low-level officials can only stand outside the hall. However, the officials of the Censorate stood at the door and could hear clearly the conversation in the hall.
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were all shocked. Didn’t they all get trapped? Why are there still people entangled? They couldn’t help but look at Du Zhenglun again. It can be seen that Du Zhenglun was also surprised. Look at that person again, he was not Du Zhenglun’s person.
What's going on?
Han Yi was also shocked. He was afraid that Tang Lin and the others would not dare to give up. It was also surprising that Tang Lin and the others were also surprised. They knew that this matter had nothing to do with him. When they saw that the person was Wang Yifang from the Censorate, they couldn't help but look at Cui Jieren who was standing in the store instead of the Censor, and thought to himself, was he going to be behind again?
This is very similar to Cui Jieren's routine. When you make a big fuss, he will come out and kill the fish.
But the problem is that this is not a dead fish, it is a crocodile pool!
For a time, there were also many discussions in the hall and speculations.
A hint of unhappiness flashed in Li Zhi's eyes, but he still said, "The King of Imperial Palace enters the palace to speak."
Standing outside the hall and shouting will have a worse impact.
Zhang Desheng immediately shouted: "The Censor Xuan enters the palace."
When Wang Yi entered the palace, Li Zhi asked, "Chief Wang, you just said that Bi Zhengyi did not commit suicide because of his crime, but was murdered?"
"good!"
"All nonsense!"
Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and said, "It has been found out in this case that Bi Zhengyi committed suicide because of fear of crime. Moreover, your Censorate did not participate in the investigation, why should you say that?"
"I have evidence to prove it!"
Wang Yifang raised his head and said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Xu Shizhong may not know that Bi Zhengyi and Xiaguan are classmates. After being secretly instructed by Li Zhongshu, he knew that there might be danger, so he wrote a secret letter to his brother Bi Zhengxin, and told his brother that if he was in trouble, he would send this secret letter to me, hoping that I could give him a cleansing." As he said that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Your Majesty, this is the letter written by Bi Zhengyi to the ministers, which records the whole thing in detail."
Li Yifu felt a slap in his heart when he heard this, and his back was already wet.
The ministers were also trembling, and this incident was really unexpected.
Wang Yifang also said: "In addition, Lu Shigua, the coroner of the Ministry Bureau, also found suspicious scars from Bi Zhengyi's body, which is enough to prove that Bi Zhengyi died of murder, not suicide. Lu Shigua had made an appointment with Weichen to go to the palace to report to Li Yi's mansion together, but for some reason, it did not appear today."
Lu Chengqing and the people from the Lu family immediately turned pale when they heard this and immediately fell in love with Li Yi's mansion.
Han Yi also looked at Li Yi's mansion.
They know the character of Lu Shi Gua very well and will never regret what they promised. Since they have not appeared, they may encounter an accident.
When Li Yifu saw Lu Chengqing's appearance, Dajue was wronged. Of course he knew what Lu Chengqing's look meant, but he really didn't do this. He was afraid that Lu Chengqing was excited for a moment and stood up to target him. There was no need to think about it. Du Zhenglun would not care so much. In desperation, he stood up and said, "You - you are talking nonsense, and you dare to openly slander important officials of the court."
This really scared him to death.
Cui Jieren suddenly stood up and said, "I had met Lu Shi Gua before I went to court. He just said that he went to help someone see a doctor, but he didn't hear about him."
Lu Chengqing and Han Yi looked at Cui Jieren again and became confused again, because Cui Jieren stood up, which at least meant that Lu Shigua was not killed.
Li Yifu immediately said: "Did you hear it? It's clear that you, Wang Yifang, spread rumors and slandered me."
Wang Yifang snorted angrily and said, "Bi Zhengyi is just a Dali Temple Chief. Even if he wants to seek promotion and flatter you, he will not be so confused that he will send the prisoner to you as a concubine, because his power is not enough to hide the truth. This will always be known. Unless someone guarantees to protect him, this person is your Li Yi Mansion, how could you be unaware of it? Later, when you saw that the matter was exposed, you made up your mind to kill someone to silence him. You are really disrespectful and a minister. Although there have been countless treacherous ministers throughout the ages, you are so extraordinary that you are so extraordinary that you have never heard of or seen. You are not worthy of being the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat. Although my Wang Yifang is humble in his official position, he is also ashamed to be a minister with a villain like you."
He cursed very happily because as long as he stood up, there would be no way out, but he also expressed the voices of many people, which made many ministers in the hall respect him.
"You-you-!"
Li Yifu pointed at Wang Yifang, but didn't know how to refute it, because he didn't know that Wang Yifang would suddenly come out.
Seeing that Li Yifu could not support him, Xu Jingzong immediately stood up and said, "Don't confuse the public here. You have not yet explained the matter of Lu Shi Gua."
"I don't know this, but the Lu Shi Gua was indeed discussed with me. In front of Your Majesty, I, Wang Yifang, have no false words." Wang Yifang said, and raised the letter in his hand and said, "Your Majesty, this is not black and white. After reading this letter, your Majesty will know that if Bi Zhengyi was determined to die, how could he write this letter to the minister? It is simply unreasonable."
Li Zhi looked at Zhang Desheng: "Support the letter."
"yes!"
Zhang Desheng walked down tremblingly, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes when he looked at Wang Yifang, because he knew that this matter had already made Li Zhi feel sick, and Du Zhenglun didn't make any trouble. You, a small censor, were involved in something. After receiving the letter, he glared at Wang Yifang, and then presented the letter to Li Zhi.
After seeing this, Liu Rengui was ready to move. He was unwilling to give up. Now things have turned around, and this is an opportunity.
Du Zhenglun was also in a tangle, completely unexpected!
Li Yifu secretly glanced at these people, his nervous legs trembling. Xu Jingzong was sweating all the time. Now he had no way out because he also participated. If he had to make trouble again, he could only fight to the death.
The situation that had already eased immediately became tense again.
After seeing this, Han Yi sighed in his heart, for fear that there would be another wise man who dared to speak out in the court.
Li Zhi took the letter and opened it to see it, and all the ministers' eyes were focused on him.
After a while, Li Zhi suddenly glanced at the left and right, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes. He slapped the letter on the table with a bang, and the ministers were shocked. Li Zhi pointed at Wang Yifang and said, "Bold Wang Yifang, dare to speak loudly on my hall, slander and insult the important officials of the court. Come on, take this person down to me."
Wang Yifang was stunned immediately.
However, many ministers knew that there was no surprise on their faces. As an official, they had to change their minds, including Han Yi. Because as long as Li Zhi let this go, the court would be divided and even evolved to an irreconcilable point. Li Zhi had no choice but to be the little censor, and he could only take the blame. Of course, all this was asked by Wang Yifang himself.
Just then, Cui Jieren suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. The Censor has the power to report the news. Even if the Censor Wang is inappropriate, he should not be punished."
Li Zhi glanced at Cui Jieren, with some hesitation in his eyes.
Wang Yifang raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, every word is true, and there is no false statement. And there is faith to prove it. Even if your Majesty has any doubts, he should verify it first. However, if you punish me in this way, even if I die, I will not accept it."
Cui Jieren closed his eyes and sighed when he heard this.
Li Zhi shouted, "Blow this person out of the hall immediately." But he changed his voice and just said to bombard him.
"Here!"
The two imperial guards immediately walked up and took Wang Yifang.
Wang Yifang said, "Your Majesty wants to punish me for offending me, but I have nothing to say, but as the Secretary of the Central Committee, Li Yi's mansion not only uses his power to seek personal gain, but also makes people's lives. Your Majesty ignores me and hides and condons him in such a way. Where is the national law?"
The two imperial guards were also frightened and quickly pulled Wang Yifang out.
Li Zhi glanced at him and said, "Since this case has been found out, let's stop here!" As he said that, he handed an imperial edict to Zhang Desheng beside him.
Zhang Desheng took the imperial edict and directly pronounced the verdict. First, he removed all positions in the county duke of Li Yifu and the East Palace. General Xin Mao was also removed all positions in the East Palace and took back the previous rewards, but retained their most important official positions. The Dali Temple's people related to this case were all exiled to other places, including Na Chun, who were also exiled to the land of Bashu.
After the verdict was announced, the court was dispersed!
Li Zhi's meaning has been expressed very clearly, that is, don't be bothered by this case. If anyone dares to continue to be entangled, whether you are right or wrong, I will punish you.
Although many ministers shook their heads and sighed, none of them dared to emerge.
Du Zhenglun saw it and thought to himself that you would shook your head and sigh, but if one day, if this matter falls on you, you should wait and regret it.
"My nephew, the teacher is aware of him?"
As soon as the court dispersed, Lu Chengqing came to Cui Jieren with anxiety on his face.
Cui Jieren whispered: "Uncle Lu, please rest assured, the teacher's hexagram is fine." At this point, he sighed and said: "It's just that my nephew has used some despicable means, so please forgive me."
Lu Chengqing didn't understand and hurriedly said, "How could I blame you? Didn't you see how angry Your Majesty was just now? If the Master Gua really appeared, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
A group of ministers left the palace gate, but when they saw Wang Yifang standing in front of the palace gate, they looked dissatisfied. All the ministers walked to both sides, and no one dared to approach Wang Yifang.
A small censor actually blocked all the civil and military officials of the court. No matter how you look at it, it feels very ironic!
But this is the court.
But there was one person who was not afraid. This person was Li Yi's Mansion. He saw him walking straight to Wang Yifang and smiled and said, "Chief Wang, in order to make meritorious service, you have impeached me, Mr. Li, in order to make a contribution, you have ignored the black and white of right and wrong, and impeached me, Mr. Li. Are you ashamed?"
Wang Yifang sneered: "Confucius served as the Minister of Lu State, and killed Shao Zhengmao in just seven days. I, Wang Yifang, have been serving as the censor for several years, but I cannot kill the evil spirits. I am indeed ashamed."
"I don't know what's wrong!"
Li Yifu was furious for a moment and left with his sleeves.
As soon as he left, another person came up and said with a smile: "Chief Wang."
When Wang Yifang saw this person, his expression was slightly restrained, "The lower official has met Mr. Han."
This person is Han Yi, and he smiled and said, "If you want to change careers, you can come to Fengfeilou to find me."
"Change career?"
Wang Yifang was stunned for a moment. When asked, Han Yi had already left.
Chapter completed!
