The most important thing about the ancients was to respect teachers and respect the truth. Pei Xingjian was from a prominent family and was deeply influenced by Confucianism since he was a child. This teacher was like a father. At first, he gritted his teeth and was unwilling to give up his teacher. Now he understood that people did not intend to punish him. Then Zhao Li Taigong is just a small role. Who would be willing to work hard for him? His real intention was to borrow him to deal with Changsun Wuji. However, Pei Xingjian was a member of Guanlong Group and had a good roots. Changsun Wuji naturally had a different position in his heart. He was not willing to sell his own teachers, let alone lying to sell his elders whom he respected very much. He refused to say anything.

But Wu Meiniang had already issued an order to resolve the matter as soon as possible. Yuan Gongyu was not a good person. He used all his means to torture him to pieces. He could not bear it, so he just wanted to seek death.

However, it takes strength to hit the wall and seek death. He has been tortured and has no strength to seek death. He has not hit the wall and has been saved again, but he is still disabled even if he is not killed.

Yuan Gongyu was scared and sweated coldly at that time, but when he saw that Pei Xingjian would rather die than betray Changsun Wuji, he knew that it would be very difficult to let Pei Xingjian speak, so he hurried to report to Xu Jingzong.

"What?"

When Xu Jingzong heard the news, he was so scared that he stood up suddenly. Pei Xingjian was a very important witness and hurriedly asked, "How is his situation?"

Yuan Gongyu wiped his sweat and said, "I saved him, but judging from this situation, it is difficult for him to confess Changsun Wuji."

Xu Jingzong was speechless when he heard this.

Wang Dejian on the side said, "Uncle, you can't hold on like this anymore. It's going to change later!"

In his opinion, Pei Xingjian was the only one who refused to confess and could not drag him down for the sake of him alone.

Xu Jingzong felt it was right and asked, "What do you think should you do?"

Wang Dejian's mind was so fast that he immediately said, "Uncle, have you ever thought about why Pei Xingjian wanted to commit suicide?"

Xu Jingzong was stunned and looked at Wang Dejian in confusion. Why did he commit suicide? Don’t you know why? Isn’t you still asking me?

Wang Dejian said again: "I think he committed suicide because he was afraid of his crime. If he was open-minded and had no trouble, he could not tell others. Why did he refuse to confess and insist on seeking death? This case is extraordinary. In my opinion, he chose to commit suicide when the conspiracy was exposed. My uncle had to report to His Majesty quickly, saying that Pei Xingjian committed suicide because he was afraid of his crime. Then he presented the evidence that he had now, and sued them for colluding with Changsun Wuji to commit rebellion."

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Can this work?"

Wang Dejian said: "If it is OK, you have to try it. Anyway, I don't think this matter should be delayed, and you have to fight and decide quickly."

Do you think they are not nervous? They are also nervous. If you delay a year or two in dealing with people like Changsun Wuji, you may die if you die.

Xu Jingzong weighed the pros and cons, and knew in his heart that whether to kill Changsun Wuji or not is ultimately due to Li Zhi's intention, he had to test Li Zhi's intention, so he made up his mind and said, "Okay, you can sort out the evidence immediately now, and I will enter the palace to face the holy tomorrow."

Several people immediately sorted out the evidence. The next day, Xu Jingzong entered the palace to meet the saint.

When Li Zhi saw Xu Jingzong asking for a meeting, he naturally knew why, so he said, "How is the investigation of the case of the clique?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have already found some evidence about Pei Xingjian and Li Jie's clique case." Xu Jingzong bowed. He did not say it was the result, but said it was a question. It can be seen that he still left room for himself. After all, he was the uncle of the dynasty. If Li Zhi didn't mean that, he could still have room for maneuver. This is the way to be a minister. When he was not sure, try to speak as much as possible. Chu Suiliang was too brave at the beginning. He forced Li Zhi to the corner of the wall with one sentence. Neither side could get out of the stage, and finally ruined the great situation.

Li Zhi asked, "What the hell is going on?"

Xu Jingzong said with a serious expression: "Report to Your Majesty, after my in-depth investigation, this case is not a simple case of forming cliques and making private affairs, but also contains a big conspiracy." It is said seriously.

Li Zhi said in surprise: "Conspiracy?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "According to my investigation, Pei Xingjian and Li Jie turned out to be the powerful and powerful people whom he had cursed with were the Grand Marshal Changsun Wuji."

Li Zhi looked shocked and exclaimed: "Uncle?"

Xu Jingzong nodded and said, "That is, they hope to curry favor with Changsun Wuji, then form cliques and personal affairs in the court, and frame loyal and kindness in the court, so as to get Changsun Wuji back to the court, restore his former power, and then he can plot against him."

As soon as these words were spoken, let alone Li Zhi, even the historian who recorded the emperor's words and deeds on the side were shocked and his hands paused for a moment, but then he immediately cheered up. If this was the case, it would be really extraordinary.

"absurd!"

Li Zhi slapped the table and pointed at Xu Jingzong and shouted angrily.

When Xu Jingzong saw Li Zhi suddenly furious, he felt a little scared. Did I slap the horse's butt? But the arrow had to be fired on the string. If he was disarmed like this, it would be better not to take the case and said with a grievance: "Your Majesty, I have evidence to prove this." As he said that, he took out a piece of evidence.

Li Zhi's face was gloomy and gave a wink at Zhang Desheng. Zhang Desheng quickly presented the evidence to Li Zhi.

Li Zhi didn't sit down and took the evidence, so he opened it immediately. The most important thing was the letter and Li Jie's confession. Of course, Li Jie's confession pointed to Changsun Wuji. He already understood the other party's meaning and did not want to suffer the flesh and blood, but he had no limits. The key was on that letter. After reading it, Li Zhi asked Xu Jingzong: "What does this letter have to do with my uncle?"

Xu Jingzong immediately said: "Your Majesty, the Zhao Master in the letter is Changsun Wuji."

Li Zhi said in a daze: "Have you ever heard anyone call my uncle Master Zhao?"

Xu Jingzong immediately brought out Wang Dejian's theory. Changsun Wuji was Duke of Zhao, so he called him Master Zhao. The reason why he used a special title was because there was an ulterior motive between them. In addition, he also clarified this relationship to Li Zhi. Changsun Wuji got the eldest son Changsun Chong, and he was Pei Xingjian's chieftain. The relationship between the two was very good. If you don't believe it, you can go and investigate. They had the opportunity to collude.

Li Zhi was worried after hearing this.

When Xu Jingzong saw that Li Zhi's expression had changed and was not so scary, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, I dare not speak vainly about such a major event. Li Jie has confessed all of it. When Pei Xingjian saw that the conspiracy was exposed, he committed suicide in prison yesterday. Although he had been rescued, he was still unconscious."

Li Zhi was shocked when he heard this and his body shook a few times.

Zhang Desheng, who was standing beside him, hurried forward, "Your Majesty."

"I have nothing to do, please step back." Li Zhi raised his hand.

Zhang Desheng immediately retreated again, standing aside, not daring to breathe.

Li Zhi sat down slowly, and after a while, he said, "My uncle, I know better than you. If I am separated from villains and have some estrangement from me, it is possible, but how can I rebel?"

Xu Jingzong was not stupid either, especially at this critical moment, his mind was also very fast, and he was still prepared.

What he said just now was just a temptation. He just used the evidence and confessions that appeared, and argued from the side that this powerful man was Changsun Wuji. In fact, he felt a little weak. Changsun Wuji was the uncle of the dynasty, ranked first in the Lingyan Pavilion, ranked first in the first-rank Grand Marshal, and was even higher than Li Ji. His reputation was even more important. In fact, he could think of how could he collude with these sixth and seventh-rank officials. Even if he wanted to collude, he would definitely have someone to come forward. Changsun Wuji would not come forward, and he would also have a close letter to each other. If you want to tell this to Wei Siqian, Di Renjie and the others, they would definitely die of laughter. This is really the most strange thing in the world.

However, Li Zhi's answer is very interesting. First of all, he said that if Changsun Wuji was alienated by villains and had a estrangement with him, it was possible. This is indeed possible. There was a estrangement between them and there was no need to be alienated. However, if these two things were confused, the nature would be completely different. In other words, Li Zhi did not doubt the collusion between Changsun Wuji and Pei Xingjian. He doubted that he would only have a question of whether he would rebel. Collusion was due to collusion, and rebellion was due to rebellion.

In other words, Changsun Wuji must have come to this case, but it is just a matter of the severity of the crime.

Xu Jingzong was immediately overjoyed and his confidence doubled. Li Zhi used a question sentence. The question sentence was possible, not completely impossible. Just turn this question sentence into a positive sentence, so he said in a very tough tone: "Your Majesty, after repeated investigations, the evidence is now conclusive. Pei Xingjian and Changsun Wuji intend to collude and rebellion. If Your Majesty has doubts about this because of his uncle and nephew, this is emotional and not a blessing for the country!"

This is not an eyebrow, but a conclusion. This matter is of great importance and is related to the safety of the country and the country. You cannot act emotionally.

Li Zhi was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly closed his eyes and sighed, saying sadly: "I am really unfortunate. The closest relatives around me have many wills. In previous years, Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai intend to rebel, but now they are my uncle. If this matter is true, I really have no face to face the people of the world. What should I do?" Afterwards, he covered his face and cried, heartbroken.

Why is he so sad? It is because his uncle wants to rebel against him. In other words, this tear turns the question into a positive sentence.

At this point, Xu Jingzong fully understood Li Zhi's thoughts. What was the message Wu Meiniang gave him at the beginning? It was the case of Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai's rebellion. Now that he has not yet mentioned this, Li Zhi took the initiative to mention it. You should mention it, and finally say what to do. Isn't this a hint to him to handle the case of Princess Gaoyang and Fang Yiai. As the saying goes, this is a teacher who will not forget the past and the subsequent affairs.

However, Changsun Wuji is not only Xu Jingzong's political enemy, but also his personal enemies. At that time, Changsun Wuji angrily scolded Xu Jingzong, but Xu Jingzong always remembered him. He was not a magnanimous person. At this time, he had to step on his feet. So he said: "Your Majesty, I think that although these two cases have similarities, they also have differences. Fang Yiai was just a little baby who was still not dry at that time. Although Princess Gaoyang was a princess, she was a woman after all. This little baby rebelled with a woman, and it was impossible to become a climate at all. Changsun Wuji was a founding hero and served as the prime minister for thirty years. His party members were all over the court and the country, and he also responded to the people. If he wanted to rebel, wouldn't it be Fang Yiai, which is comparable to Princess Gaoyang!"

What the implication is that it has to be dealt with more severely.

Li Zhi hesitated for a while and said, "You are right. This matter is of great importance and should be handled carefully. If you go to the trial and check it out, you must find out the matter clearly."
