Walking lightly and slowly on the streets of the imperial city, there were few people for a while.
Li Xuan suddenly said: "Brother Huaiying, I'm afraid you need to find evidence for this case quickly."
Di Renjie nodded solemnly and said, "Huaiying understands."
Just now, in order to rely on the power of Li Jingye, Wu Chengsi and other nobles and nobles, Li Xuan was okay and just said ambiguous things, but Di Renjie was affirmative, as if he really had some actual evidence.
"You don't understand." Li Xuan shook his head slightly, turned to look at Di Renjie, and said in a deep voice: "The British Duke returned to Beijing this time to be tried. It's just that he sincerely repented in Shu, so Your Majesty and the Queen of Heaven sent him to justice. Recall that soon, there will be a conclusion in Dali Temple that a British man was greedy and smuggled Tibet for profit, and he was carelessly taken advantage of by Tibet... This king does not want such a person to return to the court."
Di Renjie also knew the details of Li Jingye's case.
Li Jingye smuggled Tibet and leaked military information. What a serious crime. How come it has now become a conclusion that he was greedy for profit and careless?
Although the words just now were spoken by Li Xuan, they were actually Dali Temple's conclusion on the case.
Or to be more precise, this was due to pressure from all aspects. In the end, the Dali Temple trial came to such a conclusion.
Di Renjie, who was once the prime minister of Dali Temple, naturally knows more about the inside story than outsiders.
He knew even more clearly that the bones of his colleagues in Dali Temple were not that soft.
The reason for this conclusion is that they are under too much pressure.
Li Ji.
Therefore, the British public Li Ji.
Li Ji had so much influence in the government and the public that even though he has been dead for a long time, he still has a large number of connections in the government.
The best thing Li Jingye has done over the years is to firmly maintain these connections.
Di Renjie took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, Huaiying already knows about this case, and whoever is behind it will definitely be caught this time."
After a slight pause, Di Renjie said, "But for this matter, we still need to borrow some manpower from the prince."
"Qianniu Guard, Jinwu Guard?" Li Xuan turned sideways and looked at Di Renjie cautiously.
Di Renjie shook his head slightly and said, "The prince should know that the people from the Qianniu Guard and the Jinwu Guard must not move. The ones Huaiying wants to use are the palace guards."
Li Xuan frowned tightly, looked at Di Renjie and shook his head slightly, and said: "Brother Huaiying, although there are some people in the mansion, most of them are used to detect intelligence. Catching people is not their strong point. If you To arrest people, the palace’s personnel are not strong enough, unless I personally do it, or..."
"Or what?" Di Renjie asked immediately.
"The Qin family has some old servants who have retired from the army and are very skilled." After a slight pause, Li Xuan said: "But there are some things that need to be applied for additionally, such as battle armor, shields, crossbows... Although the Qin family is a family of military generals, these things still need to be applied for. It is sensitive and needs to be reported to the DPRK and China.”
Not only the Qin family is not short of these things, but Li Xuan's Nanchang Palace is also not short of them, but what they lack is the name to officially use these things.
At this time, Qianniu Guard and Jinwu Guard are difficult to use, and even the people from Dali Temple are also difficult to use.
"Huaiying went to His Majesty and borrowed some from the inner treasury." Di Renjie's expression suddenly became serious.
"As long as His Majesty nods, there will be no problem at Weiwei Temple." Li Xuan nodded affirmatively.
Weiwei Siqing Ouyang Tong is Li Xuan's uncle. With the emperor's will and Li Xuan's relationship, no matter how many things he has, he can get it.
After a slight pause, Li Xuan looked at Di Renjie seriously and said, "This case is important and there must be no mistakes."
"Huaiying understands." Di Renjie cupped his hands and said, "In this case, Huaiying will go back first."
"Brother Huaiying, be careful." Li Xuan nodded solemnly.
Di Renjie nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards the Yushitai.
Li Xuan raised her head and looked in the direction of Daming Palace.
The reason behind this matter was not clear to the emperor, but it was just because of Empress Wu's face that it was difficult for him to handle it.
But if Di Renjie can really find any strong evidence, the emperor will definitely not mind killing the North Gate bachelor.
Once the evidence is really found, I am afraid that even Empress Wu will not be partial.
Liu Yizhi threatened Empress Wu.
If you give it up, give it up.
…
In the study room of the palace, Li Xuan calmly flipped through the information in front of her.
Li Jingye and Pei Yan met by chance on the street after leaving the palace last night.
But after walking together for only half a quarter of an hour, the two parted ways.
In full view of the palace, it was not conducive for the two of them to talk secretly.
But if the two people really had a secret conversation, then I don’t know how many people would immediately start impeachment after knowing it.
Only their accidental encounter left others speechless.
The relationship between Li Jingye and Pei Yan is not as bad as people seem, and there is even a relationship of mutual use.
Among the tips, there were also some fragments of conversations between Pei Yan and Li Jingye, but they were only fragments and nothing of value.
But the very short private meeting between Li Jingye and Pei Yan was enough to make Li Xuan wary.
Today at the Prime Minister's Mansion, Li Jingye and Wu Chengsi came together.
Wu Chengsi is Li Dan's cousin, and Li Jingye is currently at home, so there is no problem for them to come together.
It's even possible that the two met by chance at the door.
But Li Xuan knew in her heart that Li Jingye had bribed Wu Chengsi.
Wu Chengsi was too greedy, otherwise he would not have assassinated the agents of the Ministry of Justice just for a little money.
As long as Li Jingye finds the right opportunity, he can immediately bribe Wu Chengsi completely.
Wu Chengsi, plus Li Jingye, if you include Li Dan... no, Li Dan is not that easy to use.
Even without Ming Chongyan standing by to give advice, Li Dan knew enough about the risks of Li Jingye.
Moreover, although Li Jingye inherited Li Ji's connections, most of those connections were in the military.
Li Dan is still young, and it is definitely not a good thing to get entangled with the military too early.
What's more, as the Grand Marshal of the Shasu Road March, he has the opportunity to communicate with the military in an honest way, so why should he take the narrow path of Li Jingye.
Throw away Li Dan and Li Xian, then there are still the prince and princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping is the least scheming. How to stop Princess Taiping from speaking for Li Jingye.
Li Xuan pressed her fingers on the information report on the table and rotated it gently.
After a moment, his fingers suddenly paused.
There is no need to stop Princess Taiping from speaking for Li Jingye. There is no need. Li Xuan even wants to do the opposite. He wants to push forward and let Princess Taiping speak for Li Jingye more. The more she speaks, the better.
Many things require just the right amount, but if you do it too hastily, the result will be the opposite. Too much is not enough!
There are already several plans in Li Xuan's mind.
Li Jingye's son, daughter, and Wu Chengsi can all be implicated.
Li Xuan shook his head slightly, thinking that going too far was not enough. This was true for Li Jingye, and it was also true for Li Xuan.
The simplest thing is to find a box of luminous pearls and give them to Princess Taiping in the name of Li Jingye.
When the work is done, the figure disappears.
The best time for Li Jingye and Princess Taiping to get in touch is at the wedding of the Prime Minister in a few days.
In this way, all you need to do is deliver the Night Pearl to Princess Taiping on her way back home, and everything will be done.
Soon, a note with cryptic characters was passed out from Prince Peng's Mansion.
…
In the early morning, Li Xuan put on a light purple robe and a silver crown on her head, and stood in the hall.
Mother Ouyang and his wife Liu Jinyu were all dressed up.
Today is the wedding of the prime minister. They are also relatives and will also go.
However, Li Xuan left earlier, and Liu Jinyu and his mother-in-law Ouyang Shi left later.
Liu Shubi and Liu Qiongyu looked at the gorgeous and luxurious Liu Jinyu, and their eyes were full of envy.
The two of them will stay in the mansion today to help take care of Xianniang.
But how much can they take care of their two children? There are many servants and wet nurses in the house to ensure that Xia Niang is not out of sight at all times.
Not to mention there are many invisible secret guards in the mansion.
"Today, I will give you a large sum of money as a gift." Concubine Ouyang looked at the gift list in Liu Jinyu's hand and couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
In previous years, when Li Hong, Li Xian, and Li Xian got married, Prince Peng's Mansion would only give out one gift, and it didn't matter if the gift was small, but now that Li Xuan has gotten married, for many things, his share of the gifts must be included. .
In addition, Li Xuan's official position in the court was not low, so this gift could not be given easily.
Li Xuan stepped forward, supported her mother and concubine and said, "Mom, this seems to be a lot today, but after today, all three of your highnesses will get married, and this gift will be less in the future."
"Da Lang, have you forgotten that the princess is here?" Ouyang sighed softly and said: "The royal family is following the ceremony. The prince is better off. It is when you really get to the princess that you are the real boss. You have never experienced it. When Princess Gaoyang married into the Fang family, Shili Hongzhuang was not just talk."
Princess Gaoyang was the beloved daughter of Emperor Taizong, Fang Xuanling was the prime minister, and Fang Xuanling's wife was from the Cui family.
The scene was so grand that even the prince's wedding couldn't compare to it.
After hearing the conversation between Li Xuan and Princess Peng, Liu Qiongyu was okay, she was still young, but Liu Shubi knew in her heart that she would never have such an opportunity.
Li Xuan smiled slightly and said: "It's not too difficult. There are still a lot of jade mines in Qinghai. The big palaces can't grab them, but the palace can still grab the small ones. When the time comes, the princess will get married. Just get a few pieces of good jade and carve them into Buddha statues, or at worst, give all of a small jade mine to the princess."
"That's all." Ouyang sighed softly.
Li Xuan smiled and said: "Mother, my son will go over first."
Ouyang nodded and said, "We also have to go to Prince Han's Mansion first."
"Yes!" Li Xuan nodded slightly, turned around and glanced at Liu Jinyu. Liu Jinyu nodded with a smile, and Li Xuan left with peace of mind.
…
At the prime minister's wedding, Li Xuan is one of the best men. There is no such thing as being married or not, as long as they are of the same age, the key is to recognize the person.
When Li Xuan arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, there were not many people there, but Han King Li Yuanjia had already arrived.
He had just taken Li Dan to worship his ancestors in the backyard ancestral hall.
There were only two of them inside, and no one knew what they said to each other.
Li Xuan stood by the side and looked at Li Dan who came out of the ancestral hall with a solemn expression, even a little gloomy. Li Xuan knew that King Han had hit Li Dan with reality.
Li Xuan sighed softly, Li Dan was good at everything, but he was too young.
If he was the third child and Li Xian was the fourth child, then Li Xuan would fully support him.
Because once Li Xian falls, Li Dan, as the crown prince, will gain the loyalty of the vast majority of Beimen scholars, and the aristocratic families and royal families will also support him.
Li Zhi's body no longer allows him to change to another prince. By then, Li Dan may become a good emperor.
But it's impossible. If Li Dan is ranked before Li Xian, then the person Beimen Bachelor is loyal to is not Li Dan but Li Xian.
The person who was raised as a waste since childhood should be Li Dan.
Li Xuan could imagine what Li Yuanjia was saying. Before Li Zhi became the prince, there were Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai, but it was Li Zhi who took the throne in the end.
Li Zhi didn't do much at all, he just slowly waited for the throne to fall to him.
When Li Chengqian, Li Ke, and Li Tai were all denied, the throne fell to Li Zhi.
He just had to wait.
He could only wait.
