Chapter 1 Morning Court Storm (3)

"I can't just listen to you, Li Aiqing, and condemn Zhou Aiqing, right?" Zhu Yinglong asked Li Yongzuo.

"The emperor is wise." Even though Li Yongzuo was unwilling to accept it, he did not have the courage to confront his father in the hall.

"Zhou Aiqing, you continue."

"Yes, the emperor." Zhou Wenyuan bowed and raised his head, "I have asked the girl in detail. It was not the maid who sold herself to the Marquis' Mansion as Mr. Li said, but a innocent woman. That night, Mr. Hou's third son recognized the girl dressed as a man and forced her to invite her deskmate. The girl refused. The third son was angry and ordered someone to force the girl to take away. The girl refused. Fortunately, a gentleman named Wu and his two servants reached out to help. The two servants were both jealous of evil people.

, the attack was a little heavier, causing the third young master and a group of servants to break his hands and feet. Mr. Li insisted that he did not discipline his son well, but instead took his anger to others. He could not find the gentleman named Wu, so he set up an ambush and arrested the girl and several subordinates and imprisoned him in the military camp. Not only did he torture him, but the girl also had several servants, so he found the official. After checking the truth, he found that the person was arresting the military camp, so he led the people to forcibly break into the military camp and rescued the innocent people."

"Zhou Wenyuan, you are slandering!" Li Yongzuo was furious and stood upright and pointed at Zhou Wenyuan and cursed.

"This is the fact. Mr. Li Hou, what kind of virtue is your third son? Your father must know better than this official and an outsider!" Zhou Wenyuan sneered.

"You, you, the emperor, you want to make the decision for the empress. The child has been pure since childhood, so how could he do such a thing? All of this was fabricated by Zhou Wenyuan, a treacherous minister. All of them can testify for the empress!" Li Yongzuo had no idea that the protagonist that night was in addition to his son, and that there was another person standing in front of him. He was the current emperor at this time. He was crying and shouting that he was wronged and that the civil and military officials in the palace had to testify to him. Zhu Yinglong thought to himself, I want to see how many people testify to you, and I don't say a word at the moment, and see how the officials react.

An old minister like Sun Chengzong had already guessed some clues. He thought of himself practicing calligraphy at home yesterday afternoon, and suddenly an imperial edict came from the palace to summon the generals of the city defense army to discuss the issue of the relocation of troops in various city gate sections and the renovation of the military camp. Logically speaking, this matter was not too urgent. The emperor did not have to ask him to summon these people to discuss these matters during the holiday. But at that time, Zhou Wenyuan took people to Li Yongzuo's military camp and rescued the people arrested by Li Yongzuo. There was no connection between them. Could it be that the emperor had already known about this? Zhou Wenyuan went to ask the emperor to transfer Li Yongzuo to act cheaply? The more he thought about it, the more likely he was that Zhou Wenyuan was a young minister valued by the emperor. As long as the emperor thought it was right, it was still very possible to help this.

"Since you both have each one, I know that Zhou Aiqing has always had the title of "Iron-Faced Censor" in the court and among the people, so I will not destroy his official reputation. He falsely accused a Hou and cut off his future when he was accused of a Hou in the palace. And a Hou of the current dynasty would not falsely accuse a court official for no reason. It is difficult for me to make a judgment for a moment. It is better to leave this matter to Dali Temple to investigate and investigate. Who is right and who is wrong, the truth will eventually be revealed." Zhu Yinglong deliberately downplayed the matter so as not to cause trouble and turmoil in the city and be in peace.

"I am willing to wait for Dali Temple to send a message at any time!" Zhou Wenyuan made a statement in advance to face the sound.

"I am willing!" Li Yongzuo gritted his teeth and agreed.

"That's good, that's it." Zhu Yinglong said with a final say, "He Aiqing is here!"

He Tengjiao, the minister of Dali Temple, came out and said, "I am here!"

"The case is left to you for trial, and the truth will be found within ten days!"

"I obey the order!"

"Li Yongzuo, you have transferred troops to arrest people without the approval of the Military Machine Pavilion. What should you do if you violate the military law?" Of course, Zhu Yinglong would not let Li Yongzuo go so easily. At least before convicting, he must first take back his right to lead troops. Can a tiger without teeth be called a tiger? In this way, Ma Gu and the others are relatively safe.

"Emperor, Mr. Li..." Xu Yunzhen wanted to plead.

"He is your subordinate, how should he punish him? Tell me!" Zhu Yinglong interrupted with a wave of his hand.

"Revoked the position of the commander of the First Battalion of the Ruofengcheng Houcheng Defense Army, and reflect on it for three months." Xu Yunzhen thought about it carefully, and the punishment was the lightest.

"That's it!"

"Your Majesty, I am not convinced!" Li Yongzuo saw that Zhu Yinglong had only withdrawn himself, but Zhou Wenyuan had nothing to do, so how could he be convinced?

"Why are you not convinced?" Zhu Yinglong asked in a deep voice.

"The emperor only pursued the crime of the empress's unauthorized dispatch of troops. Why not investigate the censor Zhou Wenyuan, the chief censor, for the most part, who led people into the military camp without authorization!" Li Yongzuo thought he had seized Zhou Wenyuan's handle and defended loudly.

"To show justice, I beg the emperor to punish the crime of taking people to enter the military camp!" Zhou Wenyuan knew that he would be fine, so he saved Li Yongzuo attacked him with this. As long as he was punished, Li Yongzuo would never be able to attack him with the crime of entering the military camp. Moreover, Li Yongzuo's crime of dispatching troops without authorization was so light, so he could not punish himself too much. Compared with the two items, he made a profit, and he could not leave the emperor with a reputation of deliberately favoring his close ministers.

"Zuodu Censor Chen Yangmei!"

"I am here!" Chen Yangmei stepped out.

"The Censor Zhou Wenyuan is your direct subordinate, and it seems that your crime is the most appropriate one."

Chen Yangmei thought for a while and said, "Reporting to the emperor, Weichen feels that he will suspend Zhou Wenyuan's position as the Censor of Dushi, and then he will be a district office after the results of the Dali Temple trial come out."

"Would this be too light?" Zhu Yinglong asked with a frown. In fact, he didn't want to punish Zhou Wenyuan because he asked Zhou Wenyuan to do this, and Zhou Wenyuan had no guilt at all.

"What if the salary is fined for another three months?" Chen Yangmei didn't know what the emperor was thinking, but he knew that Zhou Wenyuan was a close minister of the emperor and was quite close to him. He was the kind of hard-core person who was so hard-working, so he naturally didn't want to punish him too much.

"There is no need to be a salary fine. Zhou Aiqing has no extra income. In three months, do you let him and the north wind go?" Zhu Yinglong immediately opposed, "It's better to let Zhou Aiqing live in Li Aiqing's mansion together and think about his mistakes together. What do you think?"

"Ah!" All the officials were stunned. The emperor was too joking.

Of course, Li Yongzuo was the first to jump out to object. There were uncommon things in his mansion. If Zhou Wenyuan was allowed to move in, not all of them would be exposed. He would definitely lose if he didn't beat him.

Even Zhou Wenyuan himself felt that the emperor's idea was too ridiculous. Even if he had to monitor Zhou Wenyuan's actions, there was no need to be so blatant!

"The old minister thinks that the emperor's method of handling this is very good. Before the matter is revealed, one of the two men of Mr. Li Hou and Lord Zhou Wenyuan must have told a lie, so he has to create evidence to prove himself. When they live together, they can monitor each other, so that the other party has no chance to forge evidence or buy witnesses. On the night of the accident, there were many tea shops in the tea shop, and they could all testify. Both of them have the ability to bribe or make those tea shops change their confessions. The emperor's handling this is really a wonderful trick!" Han Du, the chief minister of the cabinet, kept watching coldly until this moment before he stood up to speak.
