Chapter 368: Overturning the Cases of Huang Guogong and Xue Qinglin
Three days later, in the morning, in the prison of the Xunyang County Governor's Mansion, Feng Wanchun, who had been subjected to the tactic of "starving to death", finally closed his eyes.
Once you close your eyes, it will be a lifetime.
He would never wake up again.
The strong men sniffed and sighed.
The leading strong man said to the jailer who came after hearing the news: "Brother, he is dead. The brothers don't want to kill him. Please talk to Li Shaoyin."
The jailer nodded and turned to leave.
At the same time, in the capital city of Luoyang.
Less than a quarter of an hour after the grand court meeting was held, two documents from Jiangzhou were delivered.
Wu Zetian rarely asked her ministers to take turns reading the book, but read it silently by herself.
Both documents came from Li Cunxi, but one was sent earlier and the other was sent later.
However, the contents of both documents are equally infuriating.
Especially a certain evil creature named Wu Sansi. It is not an exaggeration to say that what he did when Li Cunxi was reviewing the Jiangzhou case was "blatant disobedience."
Sending men to Jiangzhou to rescue the six thieves in order to prevent Li Cunxi from finding out the truth of the case, isn't this just picking on Li Cunxi?
If Li Cunxi didn't know, it would be fine, but he was caught red-handed by Li Cunxi's people twice. The six thieves who framed Duke Huang Li Ai in the past are all dead now. Li Cunxi, who holds all the confessions, is Wu Sansi's biggest nightmare in this life.
Everyone knows that Li Cunxi is like a mad dog. He dared to reveal in the court that his political enemies had hired someone to kill him. Is there anything Li Cunxi would not dare to do?
It was not easy for her to reach a consensus with Li Cunxi and let Li Cunxi overturn the verdict for his father Li Ai. The hatred between the two families was focused only on Liang Wang Wu Sansi and Li Cunxi himself.
Look what happens now, you bastard are deliberately making trouble and want to make Li Cunxi compete with her, the emperor sitting on the dragon throne.
Wu Zetian, whose anger was at its highest, didn't care that Xue Qinglin, Marquis of Pingnan, had a fake identity. That was something she had already found out secretly.
The person who made her most angry now was Wu Sansi, who was put in solitary confinement and deprived of his position. If Wu Sansi was not given something to do, he would be able to completely collapse the court that had finally stabilized with his own strength.
After thinking it over again and again, Wu Zetian said calmly: "Wan'er, present these two documents sent back by Li Shaoyin to Wenchang Youxiang, Neishi, and Nanyan for careful review."
Shangguan Wan'er, who had been with Wu Zetian for a long time, understood from the slight change in Wu Zetian's tone that she was angry with someone again.
I just don’t know who was the stupid one who made Wu Zetian angry at a time when she was so content.
Shangguan Wan'er, with her head bowed and eyebrows lowered, came to the steps with two documents in her hands, bent down and handed the documents to Li Huaiyuan, the right prime minister of Wenchang.
Li Huaiyuan only took one copy and handed the other to Zhang Jianzhi behind him.
After reading it quickly, the two of them did not dare to express their opinions, so they handed the documents in their hands to Di Renjie, the head of the court opposite them.
Di Renjie could tell from the expressions of the two men that something big must have happened, so he did not dare to delay and quickly checked it out.
You don’t know until you see it. After reading it, Di Renjie’s brows frowned, his heart beat faster, and his mood took a sharp turn for the worse.
"You three are the leaders among the officials. Tell us what you feel after reading these two documents?"
Wu Zetian's expression remained normal, but there was a hint of dissatisfaction in her tone.
The three of them knew exactly who this dissatisfaction was directed at.
As the acting Wenchang Right Prime Minister, Li Huaiyuan ranked second among all officials, only after Wenchang Left Prime Minister Wu Chengsi.
The person who should stand up and take the blame at this time should be Wu Chengsi, but Wu Chengsi stopped attending court a long time ago, and he is probably still at home watching Western beauties striptease.
I cursed myself in my heart for not having my fortune told today and for not asking for leave.
"Ok?"
"Huaiyuan, tell me."
Wu Zetian on the dragon bed was already a little impatient, and her tone was full of coldness.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
Li Huaiyuan bowed for a long time, but he just couldn't utter the words after the word "minister".
One only regrets not having studied enough when he needs it. He really regretted not reviewing his books day and night after becoming an official for all these years.
Now, after being frightened by Wu Zetian, he had no idea what to say.
After a long time, Li Huaiyuan exhaled and commented weakly:
"I am shocked, your Excellency."
Wu Zetian narrowed her eyes. She didn't expect that Li Huaiyuan would come up with such a desperate trick under her oppression.
The main point of his speech was a casual one, and the word "shocked" fully reflected Li Huaiyuan's current mental state.
But what Wu Zetian wanted was not Li Huaiyuan's "shock", what she really needed was an answer.
He doesn't need any ideas for solving the problem, especially this kind of useless start to the problem.
However, if I continue to question Li Huaiyuan, I am afraid that Li Huaiyuan’s evaluation will remain the same as it is now.
"Di Qing, what do you think?"
Wu Zetian looked past Li Huaiyuan and looked at Di Renjie on the other side.
As Wu Zetian's most trusted and beloved minister, Di Renjie already knew what Wu Zetian wanted.
He stepped forward and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, I think the six thieves in Jiangzhou have committed heinous crimes and their entire family should be killed!"
"Anyone in Jiangzhou, and even in the whole country, who dares to befriend the six thieves or plead for them, will be killed without a single one left alive!"
"Li Cunxi has made great contributions in avenging his father and uncovering the truth of the past case. He may be promoted as appropriate."
"Anyone who participates in investigating this case and assists Li Shaoyin in solving the case will be promoted and given a higher rank."
"After the Internal Guard Office investigates what a certain adult in the document has done, they can punish him as appropriate. It all depends on your majesty's wishes."
"All these are secondary. The most important point is..."
Di Renjie took a deep breath and recalled the scene in the past when Duke Huang Li Ai was framed and his entire family was executed.
"Your Majesty, please issue an edict immediately to redress the injustice of the Huang Guogong Li Ai family. As for the Huang Guogong descendants, pardon them all and allow them to return to their hometown!"
"Your Majesty, please list all the things that the six bandits in Jiangzhou have done, send them to Jiangzhou and post them, and let the world know, so as to show that our Great Zhou is fair and just, and will never let the villain's conspiracy succeed."
"Your Majesty, please clear the name of the former Light Cavalry Commander Xue Qinglin and say that he is not the treacherous villain who falsely accused the heir of the Li family!"
Wu Zetian took a deep breath.
Fortunately, Di Renjie was her favorite minister and he directly gave the best choice.
She will implement all these things in full according to Di Renjie's proposal. Not only that, she will also let a certain evil beast who keeps coming out to disrupt the situation understand what it means to be angry with the emperor.
"What Lord Di said is very true. Jianzhi must write it for me in detail so that people will not misunderstand Duke Huang and the Light Cavalry Commandant."
"And then... Gao Pingyou, the Minister of Personnel, was corrupt and committed corruption, and was sent directly to the Imperial Guards."
