Stunning beauty

Fengtian Temple.

Emperor Shang saw the memorial presented by King Jiuyou, nodded, and said, "Although King Jiuyou dispatched troops privately, there was a reason for the incident. In view of the merits of suppressing the bandits, the people of one side must be kept safe. punish."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

King Jiuyou saluted, thanking you.

"His Majesty!"

In the rear, the admonisher Zhang Qizheng saw the obvious partiality of the Emperor Shang, and immediately retorted, with a serious expression, "King Jiuyou privately dispatched troops, and what is the difference between King Xuanwu's bullying the emperor? Why do you need such a small matter to suppress bandits?" The most elite black water army of my big merchant was dispatched, and the local government was able to deal with it. King Jiuyou was obviously lying, minister, I got the news that King Jiuyou mobilized the black water army not to suppress bandits at all, but to kill the son of the Li family. Suppressing bandits is just an excuse for King Jiuyou!"

"presumptuous!"

In front of the ministers, King Jiuyou saw Zhang Qizheng's steadfast attitude, his expression sank, he turned around, and said in a cold voice, "Master Zhang, do you know what crime it is to slander King Wu of the Great Merchant? Bandits near Yuzhou City Seriously, this king cares about the common people, why not help the government to suppress the bandits, besides, this king has no grievances with the son of the Li family, why should he kill him, he is just a son of a merchant, he is not qualified to let this king set his mind like this Deal with it carefully."

"slander?"

Zhang Qizheng sneered and said, "The old minister can't bear the charge of King Jiuyou. No matter how cleverly King Jiuyou argues, it is an indisputable fact that the son of the Li family was ambushed by the black water army on the way back to Yuzhou City. King Jiuyou, The first son of the Li family is indeed just a son of a merchant, but he has made meritorious service to our Great Shang court, and he is a national official appointed by His Majesty, what King Wu has done is tantamount to murdering a meritorious minister of our Great Shang!"

"Master Zhang, I am serious, this is just a misunderstanding."

A coldness flashed in King Jiuyou's eyes, and he said, "On that day, the spies of the Blackwater Army got the news that a large number of bandits would go to the villages around Yuzhou City to rob. The Blackwater Army set up an ambush in advance to deal with those Bandits, I didn't expect that the son of the Li family happened to pass by that road, and the two sides didn't know each other, so some conflicts occurred. After that, the general who led the Blackwater Army realized that they had admitted the wrong person, and immediately retreated gone."

"Jiuyou King is really eloquent, a single misunderstanding, and the blame will be completely removed!"

Zhang Qizheng looked at King Jiuyou in front of him, and said angrily, "What is the law of the country? His Highness the First Prince also said just now that there is law but not good and it cannot be equated. If everyone breaks the law of the country, they can just find a reason to get over it. What is the use of this law?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Qizheng looked at Emperor Shang above the main hall, saluted respectfully, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, please, deal with King Jiuyou fairly, the law cannot be abolished!"

In Fengtian Hall, all the officials saw this scene and glanced at each other, but no one said anything. At this time, no one wanted to go into this muddy water.

In front of all the ministers, the eldest prince Mu Yuan, the third prince Mu Yao, and the eleventh prince Mu Qing, the three princes who spoke fiercely because of King Xuanwu's incident, are also silent at this moment, watching their noses, noses, noses and hearts, and do not want to interfere in this matter. thing.

But Lu Siqing, the head of the civil servants, saw the stubborn look of his old friend in front of him, sighed in his heart, after all, he did not sit idly by, stood up again, and respectfully saluted, "Your Majesty, what Master Zhang said is indeed reasonable. The rule of law cannot override the laws of the country just because of the high authority of the military kings."

In the main hall, Emperor Shang looked at the two old ministers below, and couldn't help frowning again.

These pedantic old guys are really troublesome.

"Everyone, what do you think?"

Emperor Shang glanced at all the ministers present and asked.

In the hall, all the officials lowered their heads one after another, unwilling to get involved in this matter.

Offending a King Wu is not worth it, but offending these admonishing ministers is also very troublesome.

Not worth the candle!

"Fourth!"

In the main hall, Emperor Shang looked at the fourth son in front of the ministers, and said, "What do you think?"

Down below, Mu Bai heard his father's inquiry, walked out calmly, and said, "I believe that there is nothing to argue about this matter based on the opinions of Master Zhang and King Jiuyou. Only by letting the son of the Li family come here in person can we understand the ins and outs of it!"

When the fourth prince's words fell, all the court officials were shocked.

Let the son of the Li family go to the palace?

"No!"

Tao Yaoyao was the first to object when she heard the words, and said in a deep voice, "The son of the Li family is not a courtier, so he is not qualified to go to the palace!"

Never let that little guy go to the palace, otherwise, the consequences will be unpredictable!

"Although the son of the Li family is not a courtier, he has the title of a national scholar. There is nothing wrong with a national scholar going to the palace."

At this moment, behind the two of them, Zhang Qizheng spoke and said in a deep voice, "I also suggest that the Li family's son be summoned to the palace to find out the ins and outs of this matter!"

In the main hall, Shang Huang looked at the three people with diametrically opposite attitudes below, and thoughts flashed quickly in his dark eyes.

"Never mind!"

After a while, Emperor Shang restrained his mind and ordered, "Call the son of the Li family into the palace immediately!"

……

"puff!"

Li Yuan, Li Ziye, who was chatting with the Confucian disciples, heard the order from the palace, and spit out a mouthful of tea.

"Call me into the palace to face the saint?"

Li Ziye asked in shock, "Now?"

"Yes, Li Jiaoxi, hurry up, Your Majesty and Manchu civil and military officials are still waiting!"

The little eunuch who sent the order said anxiously.

"Your Majesty recruited Professor Li into the palace, why?"

In the front hall, Wen Xiuru and other Confucian disciples also showed puzzled expressions on their faces. Li Jiaoxi was not a courtier, why did His Majesty recruit Li Jiaoxi into the palace?

"It's for the Blackwater Army!"

Faru seemed to have guessed something, and said in a deep voice, "Little guy, remember what you promised me, don't act impulsively."

Li Ziye nodded, a strange color flashed in his eyes, strange.

The result now is somewhat beyond his expectations.

Under normal circumstances, this matter should be thunderous and rainy, and there will be no disturbances.

Shang Huang called him into the palace at this time, which meant that the matter was not resolved smoothly.

Could it be that someone spoke for his Li family?

In a short moment, Li Ziye guessed all about the matter, and his thoughts are exquisite, few people can match.

After trying to figure out the reason, Li Ziye put down the teacup in his hand, looked at the little eunuch who was anxiously waiting in front of him, and smiled, "Okay, I will enter the palace with my father-in-law."

After speaking, Li Ziye got up and walked outside.

"brat!"

In the rear, Faru immediately stood up and reminded again with a solemn expression, "Remember, don't be impulsive!"

"rest assured."

The corners of Li Ziye's mouth curved slightly, and he walked out of the mansion without looking back.

Soon.

Royal Palace.

Outside the Xuanwu Gate.

The carriage rumbled forward, running extremely fast.

After more than a year, Li Ziye entered the palace again.

Soon, Li Ziye's figure appeared in front of the thousand-story stone steps in Fengtian Hall, and walked step by step towards the hall that symbolized the highest power of the Great Shang Dynasty.

In Fengtian Temple.

All the ministers turned around and looked at the figure of the young man walking at the end of the stone steps, all eyes were fixed.

The Li family finally came here.
