Li Mansion, front hall.
Faru read the letter written by the head of the Li family that Li Ziye took out, and he was convinced.
In this way, the marriage between Wangyu and the Li family's daughter is settled.
"You all, go wait outside."
Thinking of this, Faru glanced at the disciples in the hall who were busy drinking tea and eating cakes, and said.
"yes."
Hearing this, Wen Xiuru, Chang Yu and others reluctantly put down the tea and cakes in their hands, stood up and responded, then walked out one after another.
It would be too cruel to wait outside in this cold weather!
Of course, Chang Yu and others only dared to complain in their hearts, but no one dared to speak out.
In one word, too cowardly!
"Little guy, who was responsible for your father's poisoning?"
After sending all the disciples out, Faru looked at the young man in front of him and asked seriously.
"King Xuanwu, who else can it be?"
Li Ziye took a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth, and said while eating, "Of course, Concubine Shu and the third prince may also be accomplices."
Previously, I was busy waiting for the Confucian disciples to come to propose marriage, so I didn't even eat anything and I starved to death.
Seeing the indifferent look of the guy in front of him, Faru couldn't help but frowned and continued to ask, "How to solve this matter?"
"They want the Li family to establish a written document and agree to the marriage."
Li Ziye took a sip of tea and said, "My Li family obediently agreed to their request, and then they gave me the antidote."
"receipt?"
Faru looked startled, looked at the letter in his hand, and asked, "Such a written evidence?"
"almost."
Li Ziye nodded and said, "However, the letter in your hand, Master of Confucianism, was written by my father himself, and the Li family's seal is genuine. Their writings were prepared in advance by King Xuanwu. Only A seal from the Li family does not count."
"Confused!"
After hearing this, Fa Ru's expression changed and he said angrily, "Having a seal is enough to be used as evidence. If King Xuanwu takes that seal to ask for a marriage from your majesty today, your majesty will definitely not refuse."
"Master, don't worry."
Li Ziye put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly, "Not only will the marriage decree fail to come through, but King Xuanwu may also be charged with deceiving the emperor."
"What's the meaning?"
Faru frowned and said in confusion.
"Might the Master have forgotten that I know some methods that are not available in this world?"
Li Ziye grinned and said, "For example, the stamped seal suddenly disappeared."
Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you won’t be afraid of time travel!
royal palace.
Fengtian Temple.
King Xuanwu knelt on the ground and looked at the paper in his hand. There was no seal on it.
On both sides, several courtiers who were closer also saw that there was no seal on the document in King Xuanwu's hand, and they couldn't help but look at each other.
This King Xuanwu is so courageous that he dares to blatantly deceive the king?
In the main hall, King Xuanwu looked livid. He knew that he had been teased by the Li family. He immediately leaned down and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, this must be a trick played by the Li family. I was also fooled. I did not intend to deceive you. "
"That's not what King Xuanwu said before."
At this moment, in front of all the ministers, Tao Yaoyao spoke and said calmly, "Just now, King Xuanwu, did you say that your son and the Li family's daughter are in love with each other? I think, if they really are in love with each other, and with the status of King Xuanwu and King Wu, Li There is no reason for my family not to agree to this marriage. I don’t think the Li family has such courage to fool a great Shang King Wu. King Xuanwu, no one will believe your poor excuse."
"King Rakshasa, you!"
When King Xuanwu heard what King Rakshasa said, he was filled with anger, but he didn't know how to refute it.
"Your Majesty, what King Rakshasa said makes sense."
As soon as Tao Yaoyao finished speaking, Lu Siqing, an old minister, stood up and said seriously, "The third son of the Li family once helped the court solve three problems for the envoys of the Tianyu Palace. He served the court with meritorious service, was awarded the title of National Scholar, and was also a member of the Taixue Palace. Mr. Xi, you should not let the Li family suffer such unjust injustice just because of a word from King Xuanwu. In this matter, King Xuanwu is obviously bullying you. How innocent the Li family is!"
In the court hall, everyone looked at each other with surprise in their eyes after hearing the statements made by King Rakshasa and Lu Siqing.
Mr. Lu has always been fair, so it's okay to express his position like this. He didn't expect that the Rakshasa King would also side with the Li family.
"Father!"
In front of all the ministers, the eleventh prince Mu Qing saw that King Rakshasa was on the side of the Li family. He did not hesitate anymore. He took a step forward and said in a deep voice, "We, a great businessman, build a country based on law. We cannot let the Li family lose because of the high power of King Xuanwu. People put the blame on the Li family for no reason at the slightest word. In this matter, no matter how you look at it, the Li family are innocent, and it is an indisputable fact that King Xuanwu deceived the king and turned his back on him!"
"I second the proposal!"
After the Eleventh Prince expressed his stance, among the ministers, several ministers from the Eleventh Prince's camp immediately stood up and stabbed King Xuanwu at the right time.
By now, everyone has seen that this matter is not just a grudge between King Xuanwu and the Li family, but a confrontation between the princes.
If King Xuanwu is overthrown, the third prince and Concubine Shu will lose their greatest support. This is what many people in the court want to see.
"My son, I second the proposal!"
At this moment, in front of all the ministers, the eldest prince Mu Yuan also turned his wheelchair and walked out, saying calmly, "The country must not be lawless. Having laws but not being good is the same as being unable. What happened today is that King Xuanwu deceived the king. It is an indisputable fact. I don't know Repent and put the blame on the Li family, and ignore the national law, which is an unforgivable crime!"
The two princes expressed their opinions. In front of the ministers, the expression of the third prince Mu Yao changed again and again. He never thought that things would turn out like this.
"Father."
As a last resort, Mu Yao could only stand up and said in a deep voice, "There is something fishy about this matter. King Xuanwu definitely does not dare to bully the king in front of the civil and military officials of the court. I hope my father can understand clearly."
"I hope your Majesty will understand clearly."
After the third prince expressed his stance, many courtiers stood up and pleaded for King Xuanwu.
On the Dragon Throne.
Emperor Shang looked at the fight between his three sons and ministers below, a cold look flashed in his sinister eyes.
The third child and King Xuanwu really succeeded more than failed.
waste!
"Fourth, what's your opinion?"
Emperor Shang moved his eyes to the fourth son who had not expressed his position in front of the ministers, and asked.
After Emperor Shang finished speaking, all the ministers also looked at the fourth prince in front.
Now, the three princes have expressed their stance. Both the eldest prince and the eleventh prince are obviously trying to take advantage of the situation and find an opportunity to bring down King Xuanwu and give the third prince a heavy blow.
In this way, the fourth prince's attitude becomes very important.
If the fourth prince sides with the third prince, perhaps there is still room for change in this matter.
With everyone watching, Mu Bai walked out and said calmly, "The Li family is innocent. It's obvious. As for whether King Xuanwu deceived the king."
Having said this, Mu Bai looked at King Xuanwu who was kneeling on the ground and said calmly, "What I say does not count. The country has national laws. King Xuanwu's guilt or innocence should be judged according to national laws."
After saying this, King Xuanwu and Mu Yao turned pale.
At this moment, all the ministers are in front.
A middle-aged man wearing an azure python robe saw his fourth prince making a rare statement and walked out without hesitation.
When the ministers saw this, they looked shocked again.
King Zhongwu!
This is the elder brother of the Empress. Even among the Ten Martial Kings, he is still ranked among the top three. In terms of power and prestige, he is not comparable to King Xuanwu.
In the shocked eyes of all the ministers, Zhongwu Dynasty bowed respectfully to Emperor Shang above him and said:
"Your Majesty, the laws of the country cannot be abolished!"
