Chapter 355 Gao Yang and King Jing (2)
"Brother Cao, since the monk Bianji has admitted that the gold-inlaid jade pillow was given by Princess Gaoyang, why don't you and I immediately mobilize the censor and all officials to report impeachment together, leaving Li Chengqian blank?" Wei Siqian sat in the car and looked at Cao Huaitai and asked in confusion.
When Cao Huaitai heard this, he felt disdainful of Wei Siqian's stupid face but did not show it. He just analyzed patiently: "Brother Siqian, please think about how cruel Li Chengqian is. This kind of thing that concerns the face of the royal family, he would not believe the statement that there is only one pillow and a monk.
At that time, I will be punished with the charge of tainting the princess, and I will probably lose my head."
Wei Siqian clenched his fists with both hands, and his eyes ejaculated with resentment, and gritted his teeth and said, "Then let's take him to catch the adulterer in the bed."
Wei Siqian and Cao Huaitai all the way to Wannian County Government Office to interrogate Bian Ji and the wild monks.
Bian Ji and those wild monks were arrested by Wannian County yesterday and tried by Wannian County Magistrate.
After the trial of Wannian County, the county magistrate judged Bian Ji and Ye monk who stole and detained Qiu Hou's death, and he did not dare to raise Princess Yang at all.
However, after leaving the hall, the county magistrate Wannian was afraid that he would kill Princess Gaoyang's face and was resentful by Princess Gaoyang, so he asked Cao Huaitai to a brothel in Pingkangfang to ask him for advice in the brothel.
Cao Huaitai thought that if Princess Gaoyang was not exposed, she would be the princess and other county magistrates who were retaliated against her in the future.
But once such a scandal goes to heaven, the most inverted one must be Princess Gaoyang. She has a good reputation that dares to offend her face and is afraid that she will be a princess who is down and out?
With this thought, Cao Huaitai agreed to submit the matter to the court for the magistrate of Wannian County, and the two of them stayed in the brothel that night.
The next day, Cao Huaitai did not go to Jiade Hall to attend the morning court because he got up late. The county magistrate Wannian took Cao Huaitai directly to Wannian for the interrogation and defense machine.
Although Cao Huaitai had planned everything last night, he was a little scared when things came to an end, so he wanted to find someone with a foundation to take the lead.
So he went to the Censorate first. As soon as he entered the Censorate, he heard that Li Chengqian was doing something in the morning court. He also heard that Wei Siqian was angry when he went home. Cao Huaitai's eyes turned and thought of Rawei Siqian coming to try the case together.
The two of them came to the lobby of Wannian County and sat in the main seat, but were quickly stopped by Cao Huaitai.
Wei Siqian couldn't help but look at Cao Huaitai angrily, and Cao Huaitai hurriedly reminded him in a low voice: "Brother Siqian is the Wannian County Government."
Wei Siqian said unhappyly and then sat down next to him with a "hmm".
Cao Huaitai also sat down next to him and gave Wannian County Magistrate a reassuring look.
Seeing that Wei Siqian had also come, the county magistrate of Wannian became more at ease, so he directly ordered someone to bring Bian Ji and several other wild monks.
Wei Siqian sat beside him and watched, and saw two yamen runners walking in with a few young monks.
None of these monks brought torture instruments, and they were all dressed neatly and had clean faces, obviously they were not punished overnight in prison.
Look at the monk walking in front of him at only about twenty years old, with white skin and delicate facial features. His moon-white monk's robe just set off his long body.
The monks behind him were only sixteen or seventeen years old, and they all had a light powder on their faces, looking red in lips and white in teeth, just like fairies.
Although they were taken by the jailer, the few of them walked very hard and had a great temperament. They walked slowly, and were as floating as immortals.
He couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Everyone is so beautiful!"
"I have met several adults."
"Bang"
The Wannian County Magistrate, who was sitting in the middle, slapped the agglomeration and shouted: "The bold demon monk dared to steal the pillow of the Lord, but he didn't come to the real way."
Bian Ji said neither humbly nor arrogantly when he heard this: "My magistrate, what I said yesterday is true, and there is no concealment."
Seeing this, Cao Huaitai sneered: "It's nonsense. What kind of identity is Princess Gaoyang? How could he have an affair with a wild monk like you?
If you don’t try to get a large sentence, you won’t be able to get someone to be punished.”
Although Bian Ji looked like a handsome talent from the outside, he actually had neither knowledge nor responsibility. He had not used any major punishment yet, so he explained everything about him and Princess Gaoyang clearly.
Including the few young men behind him, except for Princess Gaoyang, the others were found by him.
No matter how unbearable the question Cao Huaitai asked, he told it truthfully and in detail, neither feeling ashamed nor embarrassed, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but he didn't know that he was the male protagonist.
In the lobby, everyone from Cao Huaitai and Wannian County Magistrate to the yamen runners on both sides was so excited that they were breathing heavily.
"Shameless!"
Wei Siqian, who was sitting aside, heard the face blushed and cursed angrily.
Bian Ji didn't say much when he heard this, but he just clasped his hands to Wei Siqian and bowed down.
Cao Huaitai smacked his lips with some indifference before looking at Bian Ji and said, "You are more than a monk disciple, and you are so shameless."
Bian Ji was still calm in the face of Cao Huaitai's scolding.
Cao Huaitai didn't care about him, but continued to ask, "But you have been talking for a long time, and it's your one-sided remark. How can you win the trust of others?"
"This?" Bian Ji looked up at Cao Huaitai and spread his hands, "This makes me embarrassed!"
Cao Huaitai narrowed his eyes and looked at Bian Ji and said, "It's not difficult. As the saying goes, catch a villain and catch a double. As long as you can invite Princess Gaoyang out, I will believe what you said."
"this……"
Bian Ji was a little hesitant when he heard this. Originally, he thought that as long as he reported the name of Princess Gaoyang and involved privacy, the ministers naturally did not dare to investigate it in depth, so he tried his best to say everything he could, thinking that these ministers would be embarrassed to spread it to the outside world.
I didn't expect these people to hold on and didn't have any idea for a moment.
Seeing this, the county magistrate Wannian shouted sternly: "Seeing how you are hesitating, is it that what you just said is fake?"
"Yes! Didn't you just say that Princess Gaoyang is obedient to you?" Cao Huaitai immediately added.
Bian Ji didn't know the depth of it. Thinking of Princess Gaoyang's power, she might be scared to death as soon as she arrived at these officials.
With this idea, she wrote a letter to Princess Gaoyang and asked her to meet at Qiantao Temple outside the city.
As soon as Princess Gaoyang saw Bian Ji's letter, she immediately put out a full guard of ceremonies to go to Qiantao Temple to pick up the incense.
Although Wei Siqian felt that Cao Huaitai was too mean to do this, he didn't care about this because he wanted to deal with Li Chengqian. He was afraid that the yamen runners in Wannian County would not dare to argue with the guards of the Princess's Mansion, so he specially transferred all the slaves of Wei Renzhao's family out.
When Wei Ting rebelled in the 16th year of Zhenguan, he used his family slaves. Today, Li Chengqian ordered the confiscation of Wei Renzhao's house. His family's children and slaves were running around like headless flies and heard that they could cut off Li Chengqian's face and naturally came excitedly.
Qiantao Temple is a Taoist temple outside Chang'an City. Taoist priests in the temple make their business of planting peaches. Every spring, more than a thousand peach trees are everywhere in the mountains and fields. Peach blossoms are often in full bloom.
But it was midsummer, and Qiantao Temple had no peach blossoms but only ripe peaches to be picked.
As the sun sets, Princess Gaoyang's car drove into Qiantao Temple and met her debate opportunity.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the second day of the dynasty, Li Chengqian was just getting up and washing up when he saw the old ghost walking in panic.
Li Chengqian took the glass of water handed over by Liu Kui and rinsed it out. Seeing that the old ghost looked anxious and did not dare to disturb him, he asked directly: "What's the matter?"
"Return to the Crown Prince, Princess Gaoyang, Princess Gaoyang"
Li Chengqian waved his hand and ordered the eunuch who served him to step down and asked, "What's wrong with Gongyang?"
"The censor comes to report to Princess Gaoyang and the monk..."
The old ghost stumbled and told the matter.
It turned out that Wei Siqian and Cao Huaitai were lying in Qiantao Temple with people last night, waiting for Princess Gaoyang and Bian Ji and several monks to jump out to catch the evildoer while they were living in the back room.
They didn't dare to go too far with Princess Gaoyang and the others, but they just kept around and refused to leave, but tied up the monks and others naked. As soon as the city gate opened this morning, they rushed Bian Ji and others to the Chengtian Gate of Tai Chi Palace to make a memorial.
Princess Gaoyang actually set up a guard of ceremonies and followed him to Chengtian Gate of Tai Chi Palace. While ordering Wei Siqian to release the debate, she clamored for Li Shimin.
Li Chengqian looked very calm when he heard this. He didn't think anything Princess Gaoyang did.
But when he was regent, he had to deal with it. Li Shimin happened to be a little bit, so he couldn't tell him these messy things at this time.
So Li Chengqian thought about it and ordered coldly: "Princess Gaoyang was deposed as a commoner and imprisoned in Ganye Temple for life. Bian Ji and other demon monks were beheaded in half. The princess's house orders and other subordinates were killed. The princess's personal female officials were killed. The other palace maids and officials were demoted to the Yeting Bureau for life. "
The old ghost turned pale when he heard this, and after a while, he said, "His Prince's punishment was too fierce?"
Li Chengqian said helplessly: "The Censor has caused trouble to Chengtian Gate. What should I do if I don't do this?"
The old ghost nodded and was about to go out when he heard this. He heard Li Chengqian say quietly: "Check the censor who caught the evildoer."
"Sister obeys the order."
Seeing the old ghost walking out, Li Chengqian breathed slowly. He felt that doing this would block Youyou's mouth, and secondly, it would also prevent Princess Gaoyang from being killed in the future, which was considered a good thing.
However, after the order was over, the civil and military ministers did not dare to speak, but the princesses in the royal family felt that Li Chengqian was too cruel and ruthless.
What Li Chengqian even unexpected was that King Jing, who had been hiding outside Chang'an City, dared not show up. When he heard that Li Chengqian demoted Princess Gaoyang to a commoner, he immediately laughed and ordered his family to prepare horses to return to Chang'an.
On the way back to Chang'an, Li Ze, the eldest son of King Jing, asked in confusion: "This morning, Fang Sanlang sent a letter to invite his father to enter Chang'an City. The father also said that the time had not come, why did he immediately enter Chang'an when he heard that Princess Gaoyang was demoted to a commoner?"
King Jing Li Yuanjing heard this and saw a look of Zhizhu in front of him and said, "Because I didn't know how Li Shimin was doing this morning, but seeing Li Chengqian's son dealing with Gao Yang so harshly, I knew that Li Shimin was no longer able to do it. How could he let Li Chengqian be such a poisonous princess?"
"Is Princess Gaoyang wrong in this matter?" Li Ze said in confusion.
King Jing Li Yuanjing looked back at Li Ze and said, "It's true that Gao Yang is wrong, but Li Shimin is reluctant to demote her to a commoner who is imprisoned for life.
This is the order issued by Li Chengqian. If it were not for Li Shimin, how could Princess Gaoyang be dealt with by Li Chengqian?”
Li Ze nodded as if he was aware and said, "Then we should go into the city sooner, don't let others take the lead as Saburo said."
"That's right!" As he said that, his father and son rushed to Chang'an City with whips.
