The Tutor's sudden return to Beijing was beyond everyone's expectations.
Moreover, according to the rules, the Tutor should first go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs and then enter the palace to meet the Holy Spirit. In any case, he should not go to Dali Temple first.
Unless there is someone in this Dali Temple who makes Taifu have to come.
For a moment, the eyes of everyone at the scene were unanimously focused on Li Yong.
Is it possible that Li Yong is not alone but has the shadow of the Grand Tutor behind him? !
"The master is here!"
Following a loud shout, a man wearing a purple official uniform, with narrow eyes and a long beard, stepped into the lobby of the trial court.
Taifu Zhou is over fifty years old, but his body is still strong. He stands like an ancient pine, and his whole body exudes the majestic demeanor of a very human minister.
Master Zhou calmly glanced at the people present, and when he saw Xie Bi kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but bow his hands, and his gestures were full of respect.
"During my time away from Beijing, I didn't expect that so many things would happen in the capital. Ning Guogong, who is the backbone of the family, is also in jail. It's really heartbreaking."
Taifu Zhou and Xie Bi were from the same era. When they were young, they were both close friends and had some personal relationships.
Therefore, seeing Xie Bi suffer an unjust injustice, his sentiments are definitely not deception.
Xie Bi nodded slightly in return.
"When Taifu returns to the capital, I feel sorry for not being able to greet him in person. I'll stay here to clear my grievances, and then I'll come to apologize."
After hearing this, Master Zhou couldn't help but his face fell. He turned to look at Li Qian and Lin Taibao, his voice was deep and a little angry.
"Why, Ning Guogong's suspicion has not been cleared yet?"
"Master Cheng, although the Dali Temple court trial has its own procedures, after all, the person involved in the case is the dignified Duke Ning. Why has it been delayed for so long without any results?"
Taifu Zhou said these words to the minister of Dali Temple, but his eyes were fixed on Li Qian and Lin Taibao.
There was an undoubted threat in his eyes.
It seemed to be telling the two of them that as long as he was around, they would never be able to cover up the sky with one hand and frame Zhongliang wantonly.
Li Qian's eyes were full of decadence and he slumped down on the chair.
Lin Taibao was not much better. From the moment Taifu Zhou appeared, Lin Taibao's heart felt cold.
If only Lin Taibao was in Kyoto among the three princes, only Emperor Liang could check and balance Lin Taibao.
Now, the political goals of Lin Taibao and Emperor Liang coincided with each other.
In other words, with Emperor Liang's support, Lin Taibao had no opponent, not even Qin Feng.
After all, without the constraints of Emperor Liang, Lin Taibao could fully use the power in his hands and his transcendent status to coerce various departments to work for him, thereby achieving his goals.
It can be said that one hand covers the sky.
But now the situation has changed drastically. The return of Taifu Zhou means that in addition to Emperor Liang, there is another person who can check and balance Lin Taibao.
And judging from the situation at hand, Taifu Zhou is obviously on Qin Feng's side.
Li Yong, who has the support of Taifu Zhou, and Qin Feng, who has iron-fisted methods, have reached a tacit understanding and complement each other.
Li Qian and Lin Taibao can no longer shake Qin Feng or Li Yong, anyone.
The Minister of Dali Temple no longer hesitated and immediately stood up and announced.
"The case of Xie Bi collaborating with the enemy has been proven to be a frame-up."
"I declare that Xie Bi is acquitted!"
At the same time, the Minister of Dali Temple knew very well that Taifu Zhou's sudden appearance in Dali Temple was not just to help Xie Bi clear his suspicions.
Instead, the sword was pointed at Li Qian and Lin Taibao.
As the Minister of Dali Temple, he does not need to take sides, he only needs to act according to the rules.
His eyes fell on Li Qian and Lin Taibao, his voices were sonorous and powerful.
"Your Highness, Taibao Lin, in order to suppress political opponents and eliminate dissidents, you two did not hesitate to frame Ning Guogong."
"According to Daliang law, both of you are guilty of death!"
"It's just that His Highness the Second Highness has a distinguished status and cannot be punished by me. Someone, please temporarily take His Highness Li Qian into custody and hand him over to Zongzheng Temple!"
"As for Lin Taibao, he framed Zhongliang. The evidence is conclusive and he will be detained immediately!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the temple soldiers stepped forward, held Lin Taibao on his left and right sides, and at the same time took off Lin Taibao's official hat.
The law enforcement temple soldier shouted: "Lin Taibao! Move to the back hall and take off your official uniform!"
Lin Taibao stared blankly at his official hat, as if he had woken up from a big dream.
During the whole process, Lin Taibao did not resist at all, but was just a little stunned.
Perhaps it was the sudden shock of falling from the cloud that took away his time.
At the same time, Li Qian, who was surrounded by temple soldiers, his face as pale as paper suddenly turned red.
He stood up suddenly, staring straight at Li Yong with bloodshot eyes, roaring hysterically.
"Old Qi! You are so good at pretending!"
"Although I am defeated today, I don't blame you, I only blame myself for not being cruel enough!"
"For the sake of brotherhood, I am reluctant to do evil things to you. Now it seems that I originally set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch."
Having said this, Li Qian turned and looked at Qin Feng.
The look in his eyes was not resentful, but pitiful.
"Qin Feng, you joined forces with Li Yong today to bring down me, and I don't blame you."
"I just want to remind you that Li Yong could tolerate it for many years in order to save his throne, but in the end he stabbed me without hesitation."
"If I treat my brother like this, I will treat you ten times harder in the future!"
Qin Feng did not doubt the authenticity of Li Qian's words.
Man's calculation is not as good as God's calculation. What Qin Feng is most worried about is that the next monarch, like Emperor Liang, only knows the art of balancing.
If he had to choose a monarch, Qin Feng would of course choose Li Qian!
Li Qian may not be a good person, but to Qin Feng, he is far less threatening than Li Yong.
But Qin Feng had to choose Li Yong. After all, it was Li Qian who forced him.
All this time, Qin Feng's mind has never changed.
I just want to make money, bring my relatives and friends, eat well and drink spicy food, and live a happy life.
However, all the forces in Kyoto insist on involving him in the battle for the reserve position.
It doesn't matter whether Qin Feng fights or not.
The important thing is whether Qin Feng is suspected of fighting in the hearts of Li Qian and Li Yong.
Obviously, the two princes adhered to the principle of preferring to kill the wrong person before letting go, and they dragged him into this most extreme vortex of interests indiscriminately.
At the moment, Qin Feng just wants to end this power struggle as soon as possible, take Xie Bi away from Dali Temple, and go back to continue living his free life.
"Your Highness, thank you for reminding me."
"I'll also give you a message."
"I, Qin Feng, have never been interested in power struggles in the past, present or even in the future."
"I just have to be strong in order to survive."
"If anyone provokes me, I will do everything I can to make the other party pay a hundred times the price!"
These words were not just a gift to Li Qian.
It is also a reminder to Li Yong that he does not like to be plotted and used. If Li Yong becomes powerful, he wants to follow the old path of Li Qian and Emperor Liang.
I will never give in easily, I will only let today's scene happen again!
