Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?

When Li Xuan came to the palace city, his demon Qilin was still kneeling on the Jinshui Bridge, surrounded by many Imperial College Supervisors and common people who were watching. When the demon Qilin saw Li Xuan, it became energetic and neighed at Li Xuan.

Li Xuan felt helpless, and then made a few gestures to the beast, meaning to let him go home first, and in two hours at most, there would be two full tanks of shrimp, and it was his favorite Yuhan candle shrimp.

The unicorn had tears in its eyes and reluctantly left Jinshui Bridge. It thought it had been hungry for almost two and a half days. When will it have food?

"Why don't you call it over?"

At this time, two daughters, Yu Hongshang and Xue Yunrou, were accompanying them. Yu Hongshang was rushing back to the palace to pay homage to her father, while Xue Yunrou was meeting the emperor as a Shaotianshi to request for canonization.

Xue Yunrou stopped outside the Meridian Gate and looked at the unicorn with gleaming eyes: "Xuan Lang, you are a living saint who makes even the jade unicorn bow his head. You must let everyone understand!"

"You can't let people understand." Li Xuan laughed dumbly: "I can't be this saint. How about being stared at and surrounded by people every day? If you do even the slightest bad thing, you will be criticized."

Xue Yunrou thought that it was precisely because of Li Xuan's unmoved mentality that he was recognized by Qilin, right? As expected, he is indeed Xuan Lang.

Yu Hongshang had spent several months closely with Li Xuan and knew that he was really intolerant of restraint. This was what worried her the most.

The three of them did not dare to stay here any longer and continued to walk hurriedly inside. Just because the sky is close to Chen, the lunar calendar at the Gate of Supreme Harmony is about to begin.

Fortunately, Yu Hongshang led the way for Li Xuan, and the guards and palace guards did not dare to stop him, allowing him to come to the Meridian Gate unimpeded and squeeze into the queue of ministers.

——Before the court meeting begins at Taihe Gate, the officials of the Jin Dynasty will gather here to wait.

When Li Xuan arrived, all the civil and military officials were in a commotion. Those with lower official positions than him saluted him one after another, as if fans had met their idols, and those with higher official positions also looked sideways at him.

However, among the crowd, Li Xuan discovered something that was beyond his expectation. That was Yanshenggong Kong Xiude, who was at the forefront of the ministers.

The title of 'Shenggong Yan' started from the former Zhao Dynasty, but he was not a real duke at that time. In the former Zhao Dynasty, he was only an eighth-rank official, just a minor official responsible for offering sacrifices to saints.

Until the former Yuan Dynasty came to dominate the Central Plains, in order to win over scholars all over the world, the ancestor of the former Yuan Dynasty promoted "Yanshenggong" to the super rank, ranking first among civil servants.

When Taizu of the Jin Dynasty expelled the Mengwu and lived in the world, he originally wanted to give up the position of "Yanshenggong", but in the end he held his nose and accepted it.

Kong Xiude also looked in the direction of Li Xuan. His face was pale and bloodless. At this time, in addition to anger and hatred, there was also a little fear and fear in Li Xuan's eyes.

When Li Xuan looked closely at him, Kong Xiude subconsciously dodged his gaze and looked away. But then he felt something was wrong and stared back with a red face.

Li Xuan secretly felt strange, hadn't this guy been seriously injured by his own Qilin? Why did it get better so quickly?

According to Peng Fulai, this man was almost seriously injured and dying when he was carried back to Duke Yansheng's Mansion.

He thought to himself that he was really wise. If he slowed down a bit this time, Kong Xiude might be like an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, and he would be alive and kicking again soon.

At this time, an official wearing a green robe walked up to him.

"His injuries haven't healed yet. I just took a close look at him. His energy and blood are depleted, and his vitality is also weak and disordered. This time he forced his injuries to participate in the court meeting. He should be here for the prince. The prince's party still wants to Let’s use his reputation to relieve the prince from danger.”

Li Xuan turned around and took a look at this person, and found that it was Wei Zhen who was in trouble with all the officials. He immediately leaned over and saluted: "I have met Wei Shishu."

The officials in the Ministry of Civil Affairs are all assigned to Shi Zhong, who is only the seventh rank, but it is a typical low-ranking and powerful person. He has the right to seal and return ministerial documents and cabinet documents. He has great powers and responsibilities, surpassing those of the censor.

In ancient times, the Ministry of Personnel was called Heavenly Officials. When officials in charge were promoted, the Ministry of Personnel gave Shizhong a position in the court, which is naturally self-evident.

In the future, if Wei Zhenru is released, it will be common for him to be promoted to the sixth level.

But what Li Xuan respected was the friendship between this man and his father, especially after the left deputy censor Xi Ying turned to the Zhan Shifu family. It was this man who gave them sincerity in the court, so he performed the ceremony. Very respectful.

"I don't dare accept this gift from you."

Wei Zhen laughed and stepped aside: "In terms of official position, you are the Jing'an Bo of the current dynasty, and in terms of Confucian status, you are the protector of Neo-Confucianism. In other places, it doesn't matter that you and I are commensurate with each other, but we can't say goodbye at the court meeting. Breaking the rules.”

Li Xuan thought it was right, so he straightened up, turned and cupped his fists and saluted: "Then after the meeting, Uncle Shi must have a drink with my nephew at Suishanweilou, so that my nephew can thank Uncle Shi for his help."

"It's okay to drink, but there's no need to thank you. It's your duty to have two family friends. Besides, I'm not without benefits."

Wei Zhen brushed his sleeves, then squinted at Kong Xiude and the prince above him: "This is the only trouble that needs to be dealt with, so as not to cause trouble in the future."

"If you don't kill the snake, you will be harmed by it." Li Xuan put his hands on his back: "Uncle, don't worry, Li is by no means a soft-hearted person, nor is he reckless."

"That's right!" Wei Zhen couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. In fact, he also knew part of Li Xuan's plan. After all, there were some people whom he contacted on his behalf.

But Wei Zhen was still uneasy, worried that Li Xuan was too young, did not know enough about the dangers of the prince and Duke Yan, or was not prepared enough.

It wasn't until he saw Li Xuan in front of the meeting today that he was completely relieved.

"I was drinking with your father last year. Your father always complained to me, saying that you are ridiculous, my nephew, how could a tiger father of mine have a son? He said that you obviously have excellent talents, but you refuse to make progress. Now I have seen you with my own eyes. , only to realize that this is a big mistake.”

He said with emotion: "In fact, it is better to learn from others than to learn from others."

At this time, the sound of drums sounded above the Meridian Gate, and the left and right doors were opened at the same time. The ministers, who were originally in groups of three or five, talking about each other, immediately looked solemn, and returned to the civil and military ranks to enter the Meridian Gate in sequence.

Li Xuan participated in the court meeting for the first time and couldn't help but feel a little novel. He glanced around furtively along the way.

However, the novelty soon disappeared, and instead he felt constrained and uncomfortable. All the way to the Gate of Supreme Harmony, he had to follow the rules and observe etiquette without making any mistakes.

Li Xuan couldn't help but think to himself that the life of Liudaosi was more suitable for him. Although he had a boss in charge, he didn't have so many etiquette.

When they arrived at the main hall of the Gate of Supreme Harmony, they were divided into two groups, civil and military, and stood up. The prince arrived first and sat sideways at the foot of the nine steps with a cold expression.

As this person appeared, many officials made a "buzz" sound, and there was a slight commotion.

At this time, everyone felt that the storm was coming.

This is because this is the first time in more than ten years that the prince has participated in court meetings and attended the imperial court.

But the noisy discussion soon calmed down, because the emperor also arrived soon after. This man had just returned from Shanhaiguan. He was wearing heavy armor and showed his heroic spirit.

As Emperor Jingtai appeared and walked towards the throne, all the officials in the Nuo Hall immediately knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

Li Xuan was glad that he had entered the Six Daosi Division, otherwise he would have had to kneel down at this time.

"Everyone, please stand up."

After Emperor Jingtai sat down, he looked at the ministers with sharp eyes: "I am returning to the capital today and have a lot of affairs. The ministers have sent out memorials and have nothing to do."

At this time, the atmosphere in the entire hall was extremely depressing, and many people looked up in the direction of the prince. Some people are eager to give it a try, but all of them are hesitant.

The prince has lived in the East Palace for twelve years, and is supported by Gao Gu and many other ministers. How can it be a trivial matter to accumulate power?

Even if the ministers knew that Yi Chu was a foregone conclusion today, they did not dare to act rashly. Everyone knows that the one who comes forward first will certainly win the favor of the emperor, but he will also be attacked by the prince's party like a storm.

Li Xuan held a memorial in his hand and stood out from the crowd of ministers without thinking: "Your Majesty Jing'an Bo Li Xuan impeaches Yan Zhi, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Lin Youzhen, the censor of Zuodu, and Feng Qiu, the censor of Qiandu." They ate their corpses and neglected supervision, causing a fire in the scripture room and destroying a large number of files and evidence. Please order your Majesty to investigate this case strictly!"

There was a sudden "boom" in the entire court, and everyone began to look excited.

At this time, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were named by Li Xuan all asked for forgiveness. Some of them, led by Cancifu Takagu, turned slightly pale.

Emperor Jingtai's pupils brightened slightly and he took a closer look at Li Xuan.

He didn't expect that the first person to stand up would be Li Xuan. Did he blow the war horn from the Metropolitan Procuratorate first? It's a good strategy.

"Bring me Jing Anbo's memorial!"

At this time, a chamberlain walked over and hurriedly took the memorial from Li Xuan.

Li Xuan then took out a second memorial from his sleeve: "I impeached Wang Long, the minister of Dali Temple, Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and others for colluding with Sun Jizong, the Bo of Huichang, and Zhang Guanlan, the former Yuan Tianshi, and imprisoned in Dali Temple The ghosts in the middle are doing evil and plotting to kill my subordinates!"

He only promised Sun Jizong that he would be released from prison and take back the jade unicorn, but he was not prepared to let this person go just like that.

There was another commotion in the hall. Wang Long, the minister of Dali Temple, has gone to Yunnan to serve as the governor of Yunnan, but Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, is still in the court. His face is also extremely ugly.

In fact, they arranged the matter of Dali Temple Prison very appropriately. There is an alibi and a scapegoat.

But they didn't expect that the Dali Temple Prison would collapse due to Li Xuan's troubles, and they didn't expect that the case would cause such a violent disturbance and turmoil in the court.

"Jing Anbo's words are too sensational!"

Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, directly came out to criticize: "Excuse me, sir, what evidence do you have that we are using ghosts to commit crimes?"

Li Xuan, however, held the memorial in his hand and nodded coldly, without even looking at Zhong Xiu.

"I can testify for Lord Jing'an Bo."

At this time, an official in green robes walked out from among the ministers: "I personally participated in the secret discussion between Shangguan Wang Long, the minister of Dali Temple, Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and many prison officials of Dali Temple. Although these two people did not directly He said that he was planning to kill Jing'an Bo, but his words were cryptic, indicating that the prison officials would give the murderer and give convenience to Huichang Bosun Jizong!"

Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, looked sideways and his pupils suddenly contracted. It was discovered that this person was actually an officer under his command, Liang De, the ‘Main of Dali Temple’!

But they had never discussed it together, and it was impossible for Liang De to participate.

"You are slandering others and making false accusations out of thin air!"

Sun Jizong, the uncle of Huichang, was very angry and glared at Li Xuan. I wonder why this guy is so bad? Liang De, the 'Master of Dali Temple', is full of lies and all the things he says are unfounded!

But then he saw Li Xuan's lips curled up coldly, and his eyes looked at him indifferently.

Sun Jizong immediately realized that the so-called founder of the figurines has no descendants.

They can frame you, and others can treat them the same way they want!

Sun Jizong regretted it for a moment. If he had known that this son's methods were so powerful, he would rather let Li Xuan stay in prison.

Or he should have paid a little more to ensure that Li Xuan would not participate in criticizing him and the prince after he was released from prison.

Even if he had to take out two more top-quality magic weapons for this purpose, he would be willing to do so.

The face of Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, was already completely pale.

With Li Xuan's tactics, he not only wants them to abandon their posts, but also wants to put them in jail, or even kill them!

He knew that it was no longer important whether there was evidence or not. The key was whether the emperor would believe it or not, and whether the ministers and the people of the world would believe them or Jing'an Bo?

At this time, another young minister of Dali Temple, Han Yuqing, also came out with a stern face: "I impeach the former minister of Dali Temple, Wang Long, and the young minister of Dali Temple, Zhong Xiu, who jointly controlled the Dali Temple Prison. There are many prison officials in Dali Temple. The prison boss is all his cronies!

Over the past few years, they have worked hand in hand to bend the law for personal gain, indulge prisoners, concoct unjust cases, and even use innocent people as scapegoats for death row prisoners. It can be said that the crimes are so heinous that it is difficult to describe. "

He glanced at his colleagues in the distance: "I would like to ask your Majesty to send agents to inspect the Dali Temple Prison!"

As this person came out, more than 20 officials came out in an instant, holding ammunition and magazines in their hands.

"I impeach the superior official for embezzlement——"

"Your Majesty, I testify to Uncle Jing'an that the party headed by Wang Long in Dali Temple is indeed colluding, and their friends are treacherous."

"The Ministry of Punishment is asking Wei Dong to impeach the former minister of Dali Temple, Wang Long!"

"His Majesty--"

Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, was trembling. He looked up at the emperor on the throne with a pale face. As expected, Emperor Jingtai's face was cold and murderous: "It seems that Jing Anbo's impeachment has real evidence. Someone is here to capture Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and other people involved in the case, and send them to the Imperial Prison."

Following Emperor Jingtai's words, a group of tall and strong Han generals immediately came out and took Zhong Xiu, the young minister of Dali Temple, and others into custody.

"General of the Han Dynasty" is not a general of the Han Dynasty, but the title of the imperial guards of the Jin Dynasty. There are 1,500 generals of the Han Dynasty in the embroidered uniform guard, who are responsible for the emperor's entourage during court meetings and tours.

Huichang Bosun Jizong was not spared either. He was directly locked in the arms by two Han generals.

Since he was also an earl, his position was not far from Li Xuan. Until he was escorted out of the palace, he kept glaring at Li Xuan with dissatisfaction.

"I will discuss this case with the cabinet after the court meeting, and select officials to hear it at court. In addition, do you have anything else to report?"

When Emperor Jingtai finished saying this, he found that Li Xuan was still standing in the palace.

Everyone also looked at him sideways, wanting to know what other amazing moves this Uncle Jing An would do!

Li Xuan had already taken out the third memorial from his sleeve. This memorial was actually a foot thick: "I impeach Duke Yan Sheng and his family for bullying others in Qufu, doing evil, running rampant in the countryside, seizing people's fields, and preying on the people! I impeach you. The chapter records 232 crimes committed by Yan Shenggong and the Kong family of Qufu in the past 23 years!"

Yanshenggong Kong Xiude immediately felt his heart twitching. When he saw Li Xuan appearing in front of Chengtian Gate today, he felt that the situation was not good.

But he didn't expect that Li Xuan would directly attack in the court meeting.

"You are talking nonsense and nonsense!" Kong Xiude held a jade gui and took a few steps forward: "I, the Kong family, are descendants of saints! The family has been passed down for thousands of years. We, the Kong family, have always been mellow. , respect the elderly and the virtuous, eliminate all disadvantages, and have a pure family tradition. How can there be anything like what Uncle Jing'an said in Fuze Township? What Uncle Jing'an said is simply a bloody mouthful!"

His eyes scanned among the ministers, based on past experience. At this time, many civil servants should stand up and speak to the descendants of the saint on his behalf.

But when Kong Xiude took a look, he found that all the officials in the court were looking at Li Xuan. Even those officials who had always been close to the Kong family were a bit wary and hesitant at this time.

Kong Xiude immediately understood that this was because his opponent this time was a Neo-Confucian protector who had a high reputation in the Confucian sect and had the power to supervise Neo-Confucian students.

If it were anyone else, no one would be qualified to defend against Kong Xiude, but Jing'an Bo Li Xuan's reputation and character were known to everyone in the court.

His face turned pale, and he knelt down directly in front of the imperial steps, looking miserable and panicking, and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, Uncle Jing'an wants to vent his personal hatred, because I had a conflict with him in the Imperial Palace not long ago, and I want to put the junior minister to death. Die with Kong!

For this reason, he did not hesitate to fabricate accusations, falsely accuse good people of being thieves, and frame the minister and myself, the Kong family. He even did not hesitate to ruin the reputation of the saint and asked Your Majesty to make the decision for the minister. "

Li Xuan, however, had no expression on his face and handed the memorial in his hand to the chamberlain who came over: "Your Majesty! This memorial was jointly written by twenty-seven officials in the imperial court who had served in Shandong. I I dare to guarantee my reputation that all the cases reported by me are true, and there are witnesses and material evidence!"

"I am also willing to guarantee it!"

Just when Li Xuan finished speaking, a person walked out from the back of the hall and knelt in front of the emperor with a cold expression: "Since I have been in Shandong for three years, I have discovered twenty-seven illegal things related to the Kong family in Qufu. But because of the inspection The court superiors obstructed the case and have been unable to convict the criminal."

Everyone looked sideways and found that it was the censor of Shandong Province.

Gao Gu, the second assistant to the cabinet, who was standing behind Chen Xun, couldn't help but look slightly condensed. This Shandong censor was his student and his right-hand man.

And as the Shandong censor came out, a total of twenty-six officials, either in scarlet robes or blue uniforms, knelt down in the hall.

"I am also willing to guarantee my official position and my life. Everything that Jing'an Bo has reported is confirmed!"

At this time, all the officials in the court couldn't help but look at each other. They all saw the horror in the eyes of their colleagues and felt the coldness of Uncle Jing'an.

"I don't know if what Li Xuanyi said is true. But when my good friend Li Guotai was the prefect of Jining, he handled three cases related to Qufu."

At this time, another middle-aged man in red robe walked out among the ministers.

Li Xuan looked sideways and found that this person was Yu Jie, the Shaobao of the current dynasty and the Minister of War. There was a hint of surprise in his eyes. Before this incident, he did not dare to let Peng Fu come to Zhang Yue to contact the Minister of War.

Yu Jie held the jade gui in his hand and said with a stern voice: "Because Li Guotai judged the case impartially and offended the Kong clan, he was sent to Hainan and died of fever in less than two years! This clan in Shandong is like a man who covers the sky with one hand!"

Emperor Jingtai listened and flipped through Li Xuan's memorials. He was very interested at first, but as he read page by page, his face gradually became cold.

Then the emperor stared coldly at Yan Shenggong Kong Xiude.

"Mr. Yansheng, what do you have to say?"

Kong Xiude's mood was ups and downs at this time, and he could no longer suppress his internal injuries. A trace of black blood overflowed from the corner of his lips, and his words were trembling: "This is slander! Your Majesty, Li Xuan is cliquey with these people and falsely accuses minister--"

"I have one more thing to report!" The Shandong patrol censor suddenly raised his voice and said, "I went to Qufu to pay homage to the saint's temple in the past, and saw the saint's tablet enshrined by Kong. It was the most holy King Wenxuan of Dacheng! And it's not just that. Once I heard that people from the Kong clan were criticizing Taizong, the founder of this dynasty, saying that our dynasty was harsh."

There was a buzzing sound all over the place.

Almost everyone heard Sen Leng's murderous intention from the words of the patrol censor.

The canonization of saints in the Great Jin Dynasty was "The Most Holy King Wenxuan", while the "Dacheng Most Holy King Wenxuan" was canonized in the Yuan Dynasty.

Emperor Jingtai's face couldn't help but turn darker: "Is this true? Is there anyone else who can testify?"

"It's absolutely true!" The Shandong censor bowed and said, "Xiaguan is not the only person who goes to Qufu to visit the saint's temple."

At this moment, in the court, dozens of officials, big and small, walked to the hall, each picked up their clothes, and knelt down silently in the hall.

"Bastard!" Emperor Jingtai's pupils were furious, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "Why didn't any of the officials in Shandong report this matter?"

"I must want to cover up the shame of the saint, but I don't know how to tolerate adultery."

Li Xuan leaned over and hugged him: "Your Majesty, I protect Neo-Confucianism, but I cannot tolerate these people with human faces and beastly hearts, dressed in beastly clothes, tarnishing the name of a saint. Especially this Kong Xiude, who is an evil and hypocritical Confucian, but steals the position of Yanshenggong. , corrupting the culture of our Confucian school! This is simply unreasonable!"

His words suddenly used a majestic and thunderous sound, and the thunder-like sound shook the hall.

A mouthful of black blood suddenly spat out from Kong Xiude's mouth, but what made him even more panicked was that he could no longer control his spirit at this time, and a gray-black aura suddenly surged out of his body.

At this moment, the officials in the palace were first surprised and then in an uproar.

"You are really a hypocrite."

"This is obviously a method of magic to disguise grandeur."

"It's ridiculous. The majestic Duke Yansheng, the sacrificial officer of the saints, is actually an evil and hypocritical Confucian?"

Li Xuan continued without any concern: "Your Majesty, please give up the position of Duke Yan and the position of magistrate of Qufu, and let me choose a virtuous person among the descendants of the Kong family to succeed the saint!"

"The words of Uncle Jing'an deeply resonate with my heart! Duke Kong Xiude was dismissed as soon as he ascended the throne and was sent to prison to await trial. The case reported by Jing'an Bo was scrutinized by the Third Law Department and the Xiuyi Guards, and the Internal Police Supervisor sent personnel to investigate in detail. If the case is true, it will be dealt with severely!"

At this time, Emperor Jingtai even had a hint of joy on his face.

In the past, although he knew clearly that Duke Yan and Kong from Qufu had misbehaved, he could only half-open and half-close his eyes, and could not even say a harsh word. It was because he was worried about offending scholars that Yi Chu's affairs were troubled throughout his life.

Only this son, with his reputation and virtue, could ignore the influence of 'Yanshenggong' among scholars.

At this time, Emperor Jingtai hesitated for a while, and then said: "The new Duke Yansheng can be selected by the cabinet and selected by Li Xuan, the protector of Neo-Confucianism."

The corners of Li Xuan's lips suddenly raised slightly, and he turned to look in the direction of Prince Yu Jianshen. When the two people's eyes met, Li Xuan noticed that the prince's eyes contained a little regret and helplessness.

Li Xuan was unmoved. At this time, he could not stop at any cost.

As he flicked his robe sleeves and gestured behind him, among the ministers kneeling in the hall, an official in a scarlet robe stood up and UU Reading www. uｕukanshu.net It was Liang De, the previous ‘Master of Dali Temple’: “I impeach the prince!”

His voice was high-spirited, but there was a hint of helplessness in his eyes: "Last year, I reviewed the case of Kong Xiuming, a member of the Kong clan in Qufu, who raped and killed a civilian girl. Originally, the facts of the case were clear, and the evidence of Kong Xiuming's murder was conclusive. But at that time, the deputy left The Censor of the Capital, Zhan Shixi of Zhan Shifu came to Guan on the order of the prince, and Wang Long, the minister of Dali Temple, came forward and destroyed three key exhibits and tampered with the testimony."

At this moment, everyone including Emperor Jingtai was trembling, knowing that this Uncle Jing'an had already seen everything.

Prince Yu couldn't help but sigh slightly when he heard the words. He didn't know about it at all. But Xi Ying, who was the left deputy censor of the capital at that time, was indeed a member of the East Palace. At this moment, he could not argue.

He took off his Yishan crown and knelt in front of the royal steps: "Your Majesty! My nephew has recently felt that his moral character has failed and he is not worthy of the throne. He is willing to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his throne!"

Seeing Yu Jianshen's move, Li Xuan's eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, and Emperor Jingtai's face showed a hint of joy.
