First, Li Hao found Ling Buyi. After all, compared to the prince, this guy had a tougher temper. He had to convince him first before he could get the prince to agree with the negotiated terms.
But facing Li Hao's arrival, Ling Buyi didn't give a good look and said directly: "Do you want to help the prince as a lobbyist?"
Li Hao laughed when he heard this and said, "Zicheng is so wrong. No matter how you deal with people like Peng Kun who bring harm to the country and the people, it will not be too much. The prince will not let you be tortured on the spot."
Firstly, I don't want to dirty your hands and thus tarnish your reputation; secondly, I have other considerations, and Zicheng should be considerate. "
After hearing this, Ling Buyi thought for a moment and asked, "What exactly do you want to say? Just be direct and don't be pretentious."
Li Hao replied: "Then let me tell you directly, why did your Majesty let the prince come to preside over this case? Don't you know his intention?
His Majesty did not care about Peng Kun's life or death, but because of General Huo Chong, His Majesty hated him even more than ordinary people.
It's just that the Yue family has made great contributions to His Majesty's great cause, and now only the Yue Concubine and the Yue Marquis are left alive. You also know that Your Majesty is a person who misses old love. "
"So, those who have merit are rewarded and those who have made mistakes are punished. Isn't this the iron bar of the law?" Ling Bu asked.
Li Hao replied: "Of course, this is definitely correct, but the law is nothing more than human relationships. The final judge is human beings. You always have to consider His Majesty's difficulties.
If you want to resolve this matter as soon as possible, you have to make some concessions in some aspects, otherwise you will have to drag it out day by day. Is this what you want? "
Ling Buyi naturally understood this truth, but the fire in his heart could not be extinguished, but in the end he still chose to give in.
Because he understood that in order to cover up the truth, Ling Yi would definitely try his best to silence Peng Kun.
Although he can take precautions, it is easy to be a thief in a thousand days, but it is difficult to prevent a thief in a thousand days. Once there is any loophole, the clues in his hands will be completely broken.
So he said, "Then tell me how to handle this matter."
Seeing that Ling Busuo was about to relent, Li Hao immediately said: "This is a wrong thing, and of course it should be punished. However, although Yuehou said he had very selfish motives, it would be unavoidable to say that he deliberately wanted to kill General Huo. pass.
I will not mention the matter without evidence, but the evidence is conclusive that he is incompetent and has no connections with the remnants of the ruthless emperor. It is better to end it with this and let His Majesty the Crown Prince to issue an order to deal with it. ,how? "
"Okay, I agree to this, but what about the matter where I want to interrogate Peng Kun?" Ling Buyu asked.
"I'm going to reply to His Highness the Crown Prince. I don't think His Highness the Crown Prince will stop him anymore." After Li Hao finished speaking, he set off to talk to the Crown Prince.
After explaining to him about Yue Hou, Li Hao mentioned Ling Buyi's conditions.
Initially, the prince was very happy when he heard that Ling Buyi had given in, but after hearing what happened next, he frowned again.
Said: "I know that Zicheng is eager to find out the truth about Gucheng Eucalyptus back then, but torture to extract confessions is not the right way after all. Doing it arbitrarily will damage Zicheng's reputation.
Moreover, under severe punishment, what should be done if Peng Kun bites randomly. "
Li Hao replied: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is overly concerned. As for the lynching and death of Ling Zicheng, his reputation among the courtiers is not much better. Why do you care about this? Anyway, Your Majesty and you don't care.
As for Pan Jie, Ling Zicheng is just stubborn in finding the truth about the lonely city. His own wit and intelligence are still there, so you can rest assured that he will not fall into such a simple plan.
And you just don't participate in the torture, and you don't just let it go completely. If there are really any signs of bad things, you can intervene to bring order to the chaos. "
Then Li Hao caught the prince and persuaded him for a long time, before the prince finally agreed hesitantly.
The two people agreed, and Li Hao immediately told Ling Buyi the news so that he could start the interrogation.
And he helped the prince draft an indictment and personally sent it to the prison for the Marquis of Yue to sign and secure it.
The Marquis of Yue suddenly saw Li Hao arriving.
There was a mixture of sadness and joy in my heart, and I was happy to finally see an acquaintance. Since he was taken to prison after the last interrogation, he has never been interrogated again, and no one has come to see him.
What you can see on weekdays are the officers on duty in the imperial prison. They are responsible for patrolling and serving meals. Other chief officials of the Tingwei Mansion, such as Ji Zun and Yuan Shen, have never been here once. Give him the feeling that he has been forgotten.
The sad thing is that if Li Hao suddenly comes to see him, he will definitely not do anything good, and he may even come to send him to death.
And as Li Hao got closer and earlier, Hou De became more uneasy and uneasy, waiting uneasily for Li Hao to speak.
Facing the pale Marquis of Yue, Li Hao didn't care and said directly: "Marquis Yue, after repeated interrogations, your charges have been sorted out, and you can be detained."
After saying that, he picked up the crime from the guard beside him and handed it in along the gap between the two pillars.
When the Marquis of Yue heard that he was going to plead guilty, his first feeling was that someone was trying to harm him. Therefore, he was not willing to reveal the crime. Instead, he said, "What is this? I want to see Your Majesty and Concubine Yue!"
Seeing the behavior of the Marquis of Yue, Li Hao said: "When you sign the adjournment, you will naturally have the opportunity to meet His Majesty. Now you should take a closer look at the charges. No one wants to harm you."
After speaking, he shook the paper in his hand and signaled Xiao Yuehou to take it quickly without wasting time.
Seeing this, the Marquis of Yue took the paper from Li Hao hesitantly. After receiving it, he glanced at Li Hao again before unfolding it to read.
After reading it all, Yue Hou blurted out: "This crime is final. Neither the prince nor Ling Buyi have any objections to it?"
Li Hao replied: "Of course, since I can give it to you, it must be with their tacit consent, and haven't you just done so many wrong things?"
Yue Hou immediately noticed what Li Hao said and replied: "Yes, I really haven't done anything else."
After finishing speaking, Yue Hou asked for a pen and signed his name on the accusation sheet.
After signing, the Marquis of Yue returned the incriminating document and thanked him aloud: "Lao Ziyang has taken the trouble to do this. I will be rewarded well after I leave the imperial prison."
Li Hao didn't know whether he could accept this. After all, he would definitely not be able to die this time, but he could not escape other punishments.
After getting the pledged petition, Li Hao found the prince and he reported it to Emperor Wen.
Then soon the punishment for the Marquis of Yue came out. He was deprived of his title and sent to guard the imperial mausoleum. By the way, a large part of his family property was confiscated.
Moreover, without the protection of the marquis in the Yue family, his son's life will probably not be better. After all, the fifth princess has such a temper.
Originally, she was forced to marry into the Yue family, and it was okay to have the Yue marquis in front of her to suppress her. However, now that the Yue family has lost power, it's not easy to make a fuss.
Of course, all this has nothing to do with Li Hao. Now he is enjoying the happiness of his family at home.
Anyway, Yue Hou's matter was over, and Emperor Wen didn't care so much about Peng Kun's interrogation, and let Ling Buwei do it on his own.
If something unexpected happens at this time, such as Peng Kun being killed, it will have nothing to do with other people.
Under this situation, the prince no longer had the need to run to Tingwei's mansion every day, and Li Hao didn't want him to go into troubled waters again.
So the prince was now at leisure, and Li Hao had more free time to spend more time with his children at home.
But just when Li Hao wanted to be idle, there was someone who wanted to cause trouble and drag the prince into trouble. Of course, Li Hao would not agree.
The cause of the matter was that the people Li Hao sent to keep an eye on the people in the Chengyang Hou Mansion came to report that they had seen the people in the Chengyang Hou Mansion and secretly found the gardener in the prison of Tingwei Mansion. He seemed to have a plot.
Based on the old boy Ling Yi's criminal record, Li Hao quickly determined his plan. Just when Li Hao was thinking about how to use this matter, he heard the news that Ling Yi went to the East Palace.
Li Hao was unhappy immediately. He finally managed to pull the prince out of the muddy water, but the guy tried to pull him in again. This
It's so abominable.
You said you were going to use Peng Kun's pollen allergy to kill him, so you just did it directly. Why did you need to use the prince's hand to get rid of Ling Buyi?
Ling Yi is absolutely foolproof, but my efforts are in vain. I didn't take the initiative to deal with him, but he is so ignorant, but it's okay.
For this reason, Li Hao quickly ordered his subordinates to prepare carriages and horses, and went directly to the East Palace. He also sent someone to the Tingwei Mansion to spread the news about Ling Yi's visit to the East Palace through others' mouths. , so that Ling Buyi would know.
After all, he was a latecomer. If the prince was deceived by Ling Yiyi and sent someone to summon Ling Buyi in advance, Ling Yide's plan would be successful, but it wouldn't work.
Li Hao could not fully control the progress of things in the Tingwei Mansion. Anyway, when he arrived at the East Palace, Ling Buyi was not there, only Ling Yi and the prince were there.
"Why are Ziyang coming to the East Palace now? You usually go back home early at this time." The prince asked when he saw Li Hao arriving.
Li Hao replied: "It's about the local military system. I just suddenly had an idea and wanted to come to discuss it with His Highness.
But since the Marquis of Chengyang is here, there must be something important, so why don't I go back first, since I'm not particularly in a hurry anyway, we can just talk about it tomorrow. "
After saying that, Li Hao turned around and left, but the prince said: "I have nothing important to do with the Marquis of Chengyang. It's just that the Marquis of Chengyang and Zicheng had some misunderstandings and dissatisfaction, so the Marquis of Chengyang wanted me to help." Turn it around.
I have already sent someone to invite Zicheng to come over. It happens that you and Zicheng are also familiar with each other, so why not stay for now and help persuade him. "
After finishing speaking, he did not forget to ask Ling Yi for his opinion: "Marquis Chengyang, Zicheng and Ziyang have worked side by side many times. He also knows Zicheng's temperament quite well. With his help and persuasion, we can get twice the result with half the effort. how do you feel."
Naturally, Ling Yi would not object. He originally just wanted to transfer Ling Buyi away from Tingwei Mansion, and the persuasion was just an excuse: "Of course this is good, but it will not trouble General Yuan too much."
Li Hao replied: "It doesn't matter, but what the prince just said was exaggerated. My words are not that useful. After all, with Ling Zicheng's temper, he would really refuse to agree. He probably can't listen to other people's words. of."
Ling Yi also sighed with a wry smile when he heard this, and said: "Hey, I didn't know this, but Zicheng and I are father and son after all, connected by blood.
Now I just need to try my best. I believe that no matter how he misunderstands me now, one day he will be able to figure it out and let our father and son get back together. "
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
At this time, I can only hope that the flower petals that the gardener scattered today as originally planned can kill Peng Kun, otherwise he will be in big trouble.
After hurriedly returning to the mansion, Ling Yidang summoned all his confidants into the mansion and discussed all night to see if there was any other way out.
After Ling Yi left, the prince thought of Li Hao and asked, "By the way, what did you think you just said?"
Fortunately, Li Hao really thought hard on the way here in order to compile a solid reason for coming, so he was able to talk smoothly when faced with the prince's questions.
After hearing this, the prince nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, what you said is indeed reasonable. You go back today to compile a memorial for me. I will present it to my father for preview to see if he has any opinions."
After receiving the prince's answer, Li Hao was about to leave, but the prince asked again: "By the way, how is the trial going at Zicheng's side?"
Li Hao immediately replied: "I haven't been to Tingwei's Mansion recently, and I don't know much about the case, and Ling Zicheng's trial is very mysterious.
Isn't my brother Yuan Shanjian serving as the Minister of Tingwei in Tingwei Mansion? Yesterday I was curious and wanted to ask him about his situation, but it turned out that he didn't know either.
Ling Buyi is not the kind of person who makes secrets. I think there may be some hidden reason behind this matter. "
