Prince Zhan Shi was mainly engaged in internal service and cultural teaching in the East Palace. When he originally appointed Li Zexuan to this position, Li Er did not expect him to fulfill his duties, because at this time, Li Chengqian's education was provided by the crown prince's right concubine Kong Yingda and his left concubine. The concubine Yu Zhining was specifically responsible for this. Li Zexuan, the prince Zhan Shi, was basically more famous than his real name. Li Er mainly wanted him to assist Li Chengqian in the future.
At this time, Li Er still had high hopes for Li Chengqian, his son.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness~!"
Li Zexuan felt happy. Such a test really revealed Li Er's attitude. It seemed that Li Er had never thought about removing himself from office~!
But to be honest, Li Zexuan has no intention of resigning. Although he is not a fan of officials, in this cannibalistic feudal society, of course he must have an official body to protect himself, and the higher the official rank, the better. This is a third-grade prince. Zhan things are just right.
Li Er saw that Li Zexuan wanted to be proud but did not dare to be too proud at the moment. He was angry and funny in his heart. He pondered for a long time and said: "The scholar who took the lead in surrounding your house the day before yesterday, the Dali Temple has already asked some questions from him. Something~!”
When Li Zexuan heard this, he immediately cheered up, but when Li Er said this, he suddenly stopped talking. This made him angry, and he cursed Lao Li wildly in his heart for not having Xiao Jiji. After waiting for a long time, Li Er continued:
"That student is from the second room of the Cui family in Qinghe, and his name is Cui Yunhan. His grandfather is the younger brother of Duke Dongjun. According to what he said, it was because he saw you preaching about engineering, and he felt that you were insulting the study of saints. , I felt dissatisfied, so I thought of recruiting a group of classmates to denounce you."
Qinghe Cui family~?
Li Zexuan was shocked when he heard Cui Yunhan's identity. Combined with the news about the family gathering brought by Leng Yuyao the day before yesterday, he finally had a rough outline of the whole story of the incident. This family had already treated him Let’s take action~!
However, after hearing Cui Yunhan's confession, Li Zexuan couldn't help but frown, stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for speaking frankly. The truth is definitely not what Cui Yunhan said~! Taking a closer look at what I did after I came down from the mountain, it was all harmful to the family and benefiting the people. Those big families all regarded me as a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh. Damn it, if you say that Cui Yunhan’s move is just to safeguard the status of sacred science, I will never believe it~!”
Li Er said angrily: "Of course I know what that kid said is not the truth, so I still use you to teach him~? But Cui Junchuo is a county official, and the people of Dali Temple are not allowed to torture his grandnephew without proof. ~! But Dali Temple didn’t find nothing, they also found some other things~!”
Li Zexuan's expression moved slightly, but he couldn't be urged, so he could only stand anxiously waiting for the next step.
"The time difference between this incident and the last time when Jiang Cuihua led a group of women to surround your house was less than one month. I had previously suspected that there should be some connection between the two, so I asked the Dali Temple Minister to try the two cases together. As expected, Jiang Cuihua’s appearance and voice when she testified against Cui Yunhan in court were very similar to the person who instigated her last time~! So Cui Yunhan has been taken into custody by Dali Temple and will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for conviction at a later date~!"
After Li Er said this, there was a hint of complacency in his expression. Li Zexuan felt that he should play a BGM from "Detective Conan" to Lao Li at this moment. However, he always felt that the last case had nothing to do with this one because it was cold the day before yesterday. The news brought by Yuyao said that when the five major aristocratic families gathered, the Cui family went to Cui Xuanji~!
"Your Majesty understands everything clearly, and I admire it~! But I don't know how your Majesty plans to deal with it~"
Li Zexuan thought to himself that no matter whether Cui Yunhan did what happened last time, this kid would definitely not be able to escape this time, so he had to be killed first.
Li Er stared into Li Zexuan's eyes and asked, "What do you want me to do with him~?"
A qualified virtuous minister would definitely say "But it's up to His Majesty to make the decision" at this moment. However, Li Zexuan has never been a qualified virtuous minister. He said seriously:
"Your Majesty, to be honest, since I decided to establish Yanhuang Academy and promote engineering, I have been running around for the academy. In this way, the progress of the academy is not satisfactory. The main reason is the process of preparing to build the academy. There are always some people with evil intentions who intend to harm me!
In order to protect himself and his family, Xiao Chen is really exhausted~! Therefore, if Your Majesty feels that it is still necessary for Yanhuang Academy to exist, or if Your Majesty thinks that engineering is still useful to our Tang Dynasty, I would like to ask Your Majesty to scare the monkeys and prevent those monsters from coming back to influence me in spreading engineering~! "
Having said all that, Li Zexuan just wanted to apply eye drops to Cui Yunhan in front of Li Er in the name of engineering. After having these two peerless artifacts, the fairy lamp and gunpowder, Li Zexuan felt that the bargaining chips on the engineering side were enough. Besides, Li Zexuan The relationship between Er and the Shandong nobles was not good to begin with. This multiple-choice question was not controversial for Li Er.
Of course Li Er would not choose to side with the aristocratic family, otherwise he would not have personally ordered the imperial army to arrest Cui Yunhan the day before yesterday. The reason why he did this was because he attached great importance to engineering. At this moment, after listening to Li Zexuan's words, he chose Eyebrow said:
"You want me to chop Cui Yunhan~? Tsk~! How dare you think~! Not to mention that Cui Yunhan is from the Cui family of Qinghe. He can only commit these crimes based on my "Datang Code". Death, is it possible that you let me kill him just because he targeted you~? If I really did that, how could I convince everyone~? "
Li Zexuan was quite helpless. He thought for a while and said: "I am being reckless~! But Your Majesty, last time the Snake King, the elder of the Seventh Cultivating Sect, avenged his disciples and went down the mountain to ambush the minister. Later, according to my investigation, the Snake King had been there for many years. He is in seclusion at Sheling Mountain and rarely goes down the mountain. A few months ago, I killed a flying snake in the Blood Wind Village in Beimang Mountain. Very few people knew about this incident. The Snake King must have learned from some channel that I was the one who killed him. His disciple came down from the mountain to ambush me~! I suspect that this matter has something to do with the aristocratic family, or the Cui family~! Please make the decision for me~!"
When Li Er heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes. He stood with his hands behind his back and walked a few steps back and forth in the hall. After a moment, he said: "Your suspicion is reasonable, but there is still no proof~! Cui Yunhan, I will not let him off lightly, Cui Home, I will also send someone to give a warning~! This matter is over now, if they dare to make any changes, I will definitely punish them with multiple crimes, you go back first~!"
After all, now is not the time to touch the Cui family~!
Li Er sighed in his heart.
