Chapter 2811 Terrified
The prince Li Chengqian, who was ranked first among the civil servants, was sweating when Fang Jun went out to deal with Changsun Wuji.
He was canonized as a crown prince at the age of eight. He attended court meetings several times and witnessed Changsun Wuji's most glorious moment. I don't know how many civil servants and generals were defeated by his impeachment, and how many prosperous families were wiped out by him.
Although King Jin is now being impeached and Changsun Wuji defends King Jin, in the final analysis, there is no real evidence for anything. It is easy to find backlash if such criticism is made out of thin air.
After all, Changsun Wuji is the famous "Changsun Yinren"...
In the end, Fang Jun's tongue was full of tears. Even though there was no real evidence, he was still able to defeat Changsun Wuji and defeat him step by step.
At this moment, he proposed to search Changsun Wuji's mansion, which made Li Chengqian feel as if he had kicked away the mountain that had been lying across his heart.
Extremely comfortable!
Changsun Wuji had already changed his face and said angrily: "Shuzi! I am a meritorious figure of the Tang Dynasty and the honor of the Taiwei. How can I allow such humble officials to enter the hall and search the house? Where do you put the dignity of the Tang Dynasty? Where do you put the face of the nobles of the dynasty? ”
The ministers kept silent, but they said in unison in their hearts: It's okay, our face doesn't matter, or you can have someone search it...
Of course there are very few people who dare to speak like this, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any.
Dai Zhou, the Minister of Dali Temple, went out and said: "What Duke Zhao said is wrong. The laws of the Tang Dynasty are still vivid in my mind. Anyone who violates the criminal law will be punished. The prince who breaks the law is guilty of the same crime as the common people. How can you openly use your past merits to The laws of the Tang Dynasty are trampled underfoot? Who in this dynasty has no merit? If everyone is like Zhao Guogong, what is the use of the law? ”
Dai Zhou has an outstanding position and has never been involved in a certain faction. He only takes orders from His Majesty Li Er. But even so, knowing that His Majesty Li Er was interested in King Jin competing for the crown prince, he would not unprincipledly favor King Jin's side.
This is his bottom line and his way of survival.
If some people don't take sides, they will be regarded as targets who need to be attacked, so as not to end up joining the other side's camp to help them increase their strength. But some people never take sides, and will let others go if they can't win over them, because since they know that it will not cause harm to themselves, why bother to risk heavy losses to attack him?
Changsun Wuji said angrily: "It's useless to talk more. If there is any real evidence, I will kill myself in this hall right now. My life's achievements will be in vain, and I will die without regrets! But if there is no conclusive evidence, I will search my mansion brazenly." , Unless you step over my body! ”
This gentleman was still extremely angry at this moment, his voice was like gold and stone, and the store was buzzing.
While the ministers lamented that Changsun Wuji was becoming stronger and more energetic as he grew older, they also felt more sympathetic to Changsun Wuji's anger.
Putting yourself in his shoes, no one can agree to let the Jingzhao Mansion and the Criminal Department brazenly break into their home and conduct a search.
This is the kind of treatment only criminal officials receive. When the government officials rush into the house, no matter how restrained they are, they will inevitably rush into the women in the inner house, let alone the unmarried girls in the family. This is simply peeling off a person's face. If you throw it on the ground, it will be stepped on by thousands of feet, which will completely ruin your face.
When Changsun Wuji was in power, he was worthy of being the leader of one man and superior to tens of thousands of people. Even if it is not as good as it was back then, if he suffered such humiliation, his prestige would be greatly reduced. How could he lead the Guanlong nobles and participate in the reserve? Fight?
What's more, even if you don't want this piece of dough, you don't dare to let anyone search for it!
Throughout the ages, there have been countless cases of frame-up and blaming on others. Just burying a few heavy armored weapons in someone else's private house would be a mouthful that cannot be explained clearly. In history, How many civil servants and military generals have been framed like this?
If others thought so, Changsun Wuji was even more frightened.
Now it seemed that he had unintentionally walked into the trap set by the other party step by step. The theft of weapons was simply a conspiracy deliberately designed by Fang Jun.
If someone were to search his own residence at this moment, it would not be surprising if even a few items such as dragon robes and jade seals were dug out, let alone heavy armor and weapons...
It takes a thousand days to be a thief, but there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days. The eldest son’s family has a big business, and no matter how many people there are, it is impossible to guard every corner. If Fang Jun really carefully laid out the plan, it would be impossible to bury something in the eldest son’s family. Don't be too simple.
He reacted violently, but Fang Jun was not annoyed. He spread his hands and said helplessly: "Look at you, you keep asking for evidence, but the evidence is in your own house, but you refuse to let the court search for it. This is not Are you kidding? ”
Changsun Wuji snorted angrily: "Fart! It all depends on your mouth. It's impossible for my family to have those things!"
He was furious, and Fang Jun also got a little carried away, saying categorically: "The fact that Duke Zhao is resisting the search is obviously because there is no 300 taels of silver in this place. Your Majesty, I guarantee this with my title and official position. Duke Zhao must have evil intentions and a very big plan. I implore your Majesty to issue an order to order the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly search Zhao Guogong’s manor and residence!”
The more he said this, the less Changsun Wuji dared to let people search.
If he was not completely sure that he could find prohibited items from Changsun's family, how could Fang Jun dare to speak so eloquently and even risk his title and official position?
Changsun Wuji was furious on his face, but he was already breaking out in a cold sweat inside.
I almost fell for this guy...
Changsun Wuji bit him to death: "This is ridiculous! What does your title and official position of Fang Jun have to do with me? Even if you are dead or alive, you will never get a step into my family! If you are so unwarranted today, you can act so brazenly Searching my residence, is it possible that you can use this excuse tomorrow to search the residence of any minister in the court? How shameless!"
I have defeated all the ministers of His Highness, and you can just watch the excitement. Today it is me, but I may not say it will be you tomorrow...
But who among the ministers is stupid? This is obviously a trap carefully prepared by Fang Jun for Changsun Wuji, and only a fool would jump in and get involved.
Fang Jun ignored Changsun Wuji, who was jumping and shouting, and just said to His Majesty Li Er: "I sincerely request your Majesty to issue an edict!"
His Majesty Li Er was stroking his beard and looking gloomy. It was impossible for him to just sit back and watch. This guy was asking for orders one by one. It was really unreasonable for him not to give an attitude.
But how to give this attitude?
Are you really going to search the Sun family's mansion?
Haha, I'm afraid I won't be able to get down the stairs by then...
He pondered for a moment, looked at Li Chengqian on one side and asked: "The prince thinks, how should this matter be handled?"
Of course, my son is the most suitable person to take the blame...
Li Chengqian said softly, but he felt so fed up.
It was obvious that the father, who was wise, courageous, and decisive in killing, did not make the decision himself, but pushed himself out. His intention could not be more obvious.
Of course he wanted people to rush into Changsun's house and conduct a search. Since Fang Jun said so fiercely, it was obvious that he had made arrangements secretly, which would definitely make Changsun Wuji unable to eat.
But this went against his father's original intention. Between severely frustrating Changsun Wuji and his father's wishes, he naturally could only choose the latter.
Besides, even if any prohibited items were found in Changsun Wuji’s home, it would be impossible for his father to punish Changsun Wuji.
The stability of the DPRK is a top priority...
Li Chengqian had no choice but to leave the squad and report back: "In the opinion of my father, it is not appropriate to enter Duke Zhao's mansion and conduct a search. Duke Zhao has outstanding achievements and high moral standards. He is the pillar of the Tang Dynasty. Even though he was involved in the case of theft of weapons, There are many doubts, but they are just suspicious. Up to now, there is still no concrete evidence that it is related to him. If we rush into his mansion to search, it may make the hero's heart cold and the loyal ministers frightened. "
His Majesty Li Er nodded with satisfaction and asked Fang Jun: "What did the Duke of Yue say?"
Fang Jun lowered his head and said: "I will obey the emperor's order."
His Majesty Li Er's mood has improved a lot.
This guy just kept arguing with Changsun Wuji, and even did not hesitate to press for a title and official position. It was obvious that he just wanted to scare Changsun Wuji to avenge Jiangnan for being assassinated, but he still understood the general situation and knew that the overall situation was the most important thing.
In fact, how could he not want to search the Changsun family? As long as we find the slightest trace of prohibited items, we can legitimately suppress Changsun Wuji and the Guanlong nobles behind him. However, this will inevitably intensify the conflict between the imperial power and Guanlong, and the turmoil in the court will be To be honest, maybe these old guys who are used to being reckless and unscrupulous will be able to do something big.
Before the Eastern Expedition, everyone must prioritize stability.
Moreover, if those weapons are actually found, all the charges that King Jin was impeached for will be confirmed, his prestige will be ruined, and there will probably be no possibility of competing for the throne in the future.
This is also inconsistent with his original intention.
Fortunately, both the prince and Fang Jun are loyal and understand the emperor's thoughts... (End of Chapter)
