Chapter 126: Cruel

Gu Mingke accepted Chang Sun Yu’s case and immediately got busy. He leaves early and returns late all day long, and often doesn’t even see him face to face. However, Li Chaoge didn’t have the time to wait for Gu Mingke, because she was also very busy.

The queen sent Di Lao to Yuzhou to investigate Li Yu’s rebellion against her party, and sent Gu Mingque to lead the trial chief Sun Yu to rebel. These two people are officials with good reputations in the court, and they have not been trapped by them since they have been in office. Their character is obvious to all. The empress handed over the rebellion to these two people, and it should have been relieved, but the empress thought about it and felt it was wrong.

Listen to it at the same time, but if you believe it, you will be dark. Apart from the Changsun family? And Yuzhou, who knows if anyone else hides evil intentions? The vast majority of officials in the dynasty were men. All vassals outside the capital were surnamed Li. The queen ruled Li Tang as a woman with a different surname. If these people unite, how can the queen survive?

The queen thought about it for several nights, and silently made a woman stand up outside the end gate. The copper noodle is a tall box, divided into four sides, each side is dyed in a different color, and there is a delivery port on the bottom. If you want to report to the emperor about agricultural news, you can write a letter to the cyan box named “Yan Enyu”; if you want to recommend or recommend talents to be officials, then you can vote in the red box, named ” If you want to redress the grievances, then cast a white box called “Redress the grievances.” What if it’s just these three? What’s the point, what really matters is that the queen also set up a box, dyed black, named “Tongxuanyou,” a scholar, farmer, industry, commerce, or sage? What status is it? Just think about it. To make suggestions and suggestions for the court, you can write a letter to the black box, and someone will arrange it for the queen to see.

Tong Ruo went straight to Tian Ting, and the content in it will not pass through court officials, so it can be said that it is both useful and terrifying. When the queen used to be a queen, she bought many court ladies to be her eyes and ears. Now, she wants everyone in the world to be her eyes and ears.

Ordinary people don’t know any good strategies for governing the country. Most of the black Tongxuan Lao are used to inform people. When the bronze lady first showed up, the courtiers and the people were watching. As a result, there was really a person who generously voted for a letter of recommendation, recommending himself to be an official.

Li Chaoge was looking for Zhongming Bird in the palace, and heard the people of the town monster gossiping, saying that someone from outside came to recommend him, and now he was called by the Queen to Xuanzheng Hall for questioning.

In the officer’s words? Full of ridicule. Since ancient times, the selection of officials has undergone numerous selections. Previously, the official position was controlled by aristocratic families. Later, when the imperial examination was vigorously promoted in the dynasty, the children of ordinary people gradually entered the political arena. However, even so, the selected one is actually the home of the small rich?.

Those who can lay idle labor for many years are wealthy households themselves. Really poor peasant labor, can afford children to study?

However, this time the Queen’s selection of talents has bypassed the previous long academic examinations, qualifications at the bottom, and other links. They are not restricted from their wealth. As long as they want to contribute to the country, they can directly recommend themselves. Bring it to the face of the queen. If the queen thinks this person is really capable, she will test the waters for an official on the spot. If it is a mule or a horse, you will know it, if you want to fill it up, then cut it off. If you can be an official, then stay.

The empress’s thoughts can be described as shocking, and the two yamen chat, although they are strange, but they are not optimistic about those mud legs.

The Ya Ya said: “The way of governing the country is that the family? It is learned by the big family. What do those who eat in the ground know about governing the country?”

“Yes.” The other person replied, “I recommend myself to myself, it is really shameful.”

As they said, they suddenly found Li Chaoge standing not far away. The two were startled, and hurriedly stood up straight and saluted: “Commander?”

Li Chaoge looked cold, and said: “The errand hasn’t been finished yet, you guys are just chatting here? Why not? Go find Zhongming Bird.”

The officer responded and quickly bowed his head and left. They only took two steps and were stopped by Li Chaoge.

Li Chaoge asked: “Outside? What is the name of the person who recommended myself?”

“Come to Junchen.”

·

After the **** left, Li Chaoge went back and continued to search for the Chongming Bird. Mo Linlang passed by and asked curiously: “Commander? What’s wrong with you?”

Li Chaoge just went out? Went there, but when he came back, he was not emotional? How high. Hearing Ma Linlang’s voice, Bai Qianhe also turned his head: “What’s the matter?”

When Li Chaoge heard the name, she shook her head, don’t you want to say more?: “Do your business. In the palace? The rules are big, be cautious in words and deeds, don’t talk too much.”

Bai Qianhe and Ma Linlang often deal with Gong Wei, how can they not? Know the palace? Can you talk nonsense? The truth of the words. But why did Li Chaoge remind him again? Looking at her expression, it seemed very solemn.

Both Bai Qianhe and Ma Linlang are not clear, so they continue to look for the Chongming Bird. The empress originally kept the Chongming bird in Jiuzhou Pond, where the lakes and mountains are beautiful, and there are many wonderful flowers. There are many auspicious birds in the bushes. Bai Qianhe looked at the Toki flying by on the other side of the lake, and sighed: “There are so many people in the palace, should the Chongming Bird be treated as a chicken? Wash it and eat it.”

Mo Linlang glared at Bai Qianhe hard: “Just talk a lot about you, don’t talk nonsense?”

This is exactly what everyone is afraid of. Which pot is not Bai Qianhe? Which pot to open and lift. Bai Qianhe shrugged, very innocent: “Is it me? Nonsense? It’s obviously very possible.”

Li Chaoge walked in the other direction, Mo Linlang slapped Bai Qianhe hard, and said: “Don’t look, the commander? has gone.”

Bai Qianhe spread his hands, and leisurely followed behind?. He admired the green trees in the green pond in front of him, and found a bare broiler walking by on the opposite bank, which was very disastrous. Bai Qianhe gave a disgusting voice and called to Mo Linlang: “Sister, come and see, opposite? There is a particularly ugly chicken. Is it going to be cooked? Why is the hair pulled out?”

Ma Linlang looked back, only to see the deep green shade on the opposite bank, and the wind was blowing. Mo Linlang was out of anger, and said: “Don’t linger, keep up.”

Li Chaoge was in the palace looking for Zhongming Bird, but after a few days of not paying attention, several new stars appeared in Dongduli. Among them, the most famous one is Lai Junchen.

Lai Junchen was the first person to recommend himself to the Queen that day. He was originally a small gangster, he hadn’t read many books, his father was a gambling ghost, and his mother had come out of the wall and gave him life. Growing up in a home like this, Lai Junchen has understood the warmth and warmth of humanity since he was sensible, and his hands and eyes were high and low. He looked after his mother, his face was fair, his lips were red, his eyes were light amber, and he had the beauty of a boy and a girl. He wandered around the market, because his good skin has gained a lot of convenience, and he has also suffered a lot of humiliation, so his temperament has become somber and cruel.

Lai Junchen was able to pass the Queen’s face test, which was more or less tinged with skin, but what he did later proved in a high profile that his methods were worthy of the Queen’s favor.

Those who grow up from the bottom, bobbing and tumbling, are born with a hand in observing people’s hearts. In addition, he has a sharp mind, poisonous eyes, and a fierce mind far more than ordinary people. When interrogating the prisoner, he did not use any means to pry open several hard-boned mouths. The queen was quite different, and immediately realized that this was a genius who figured out people’s hearts.

This kind of person is too suitable to be used as a knife. The queen immediately asked him to check if anyone else in Dongdu participated in the rebellion. After Lai Junchen got the power, he acted resolutely and tortured several testimonies in just three days, and Luoyang was agitated for a while.

Lai Junchen soared forward, and the limelight was unparalleled. Although everyone dismissed his nasty methods, they were really afraid of being caught by him for interrogation. For a time, the officials saw him and took a detour, and no one dared to compete with him.

But in this world, yin and yang have always coexisted, and if there are martyrs who are not willing to be with them, there will be flattery and flattery. A bunch of doglegs surrounded Lai Junchen. When he was invited to drink, he met King Wei.

Wu Yuanqing was drunk at the restaurant today, he held Hu Ji in his arms, and sighed while drinking. When Lai Junchen met him, he threw off those tails and made a special trip to Wu Yuanqing to greet him: “See King Wei.”

Wu Yuanqing looked up dimly and stared at Lai Junchen for a long time before remembering who this person was. Wu Yuanqing asked: “So you came to serve Yushi? You came to see me? What are you doing?”

Lai Junchen sat opposite Wu Yuanqing? He poured the wine with his own hands, and asked: “The minister saw Wang Wei’s frown from afar. Doesn’t he know why Wang Wei is worried?”

When it came to this, Wu Yuanqing wanted to sigh again. He waved his hand, and Hu Ji and Leki hurriedly stepped back when seeing him impatiently. After everyone was clean, Wu Yuanqing said: “Isn’t it? It’s for the sake of the holy. The spirit bird dedicated to the holy is lost. This is a big sin. However, Sheng Yuan has not found it after searching for many days. Me? Come on. But the saint trust her, can we still say?”

“Oh?” Lai Junchen replied indifferently. He stared at Wu Yuanqing’s expression closely, didn’t he let off any fluctuations on Wu Yuanqing’s face, “In Wei Wang’s opinion, where might the Zhongming bird hide?”

Wu Yuanqing was startled, he blinked quickly, his eyes wandering around. This is a manifestation of guilty conscience. Lai Junchen can see it clearly, and slowly said: “The spirit bird dedicated to the saint is useless if ordinary courtiers take it. It should be taken by the people in the palace. Princess Shengyuan and the horse are living outside the palace. It is difficult to reach the bird cage after the curfew, and the possibility of committing crimes is very small; Princess Guangning is the most favored by the queen, and she likes to talk to the queen directly, and there is no need to secretly let it go. So, come, the most? The possible person seems to be His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

What did Lai Junchen say? To Wu Yuanqing’s heart, Wu Yuanqing pressed it so hard that he immediately cited Lai Junchen as a confidant. Wu Yuanqing said, “I also think so. But it’s about the crown prince. Before there is evidence, I don’t dare to guess wildly. But if I don’t check it, I can’t find the Chong Ming Bird…”

Wu Yuanqing was stupid like “I? I want to count him, but I? Don’t? Know how to count him.” Lai Junchen saw clearly in his heart, and immediately smiled softly: “What’s so difficult about this? The minister has a plan and is willing to cooperate with him. ?Wang Wei is worried.”

·

Li Chaoge returned home early today, but unexpectedly, after she went back, she found that Gu Mingke was also there.

Now that Li Chaoge is used to living in the same room with Gu Mingke, he has long since lost his initial restraint. She sat next to Gu Mingke, poured a cup of tea on the ground, and asked, “Do you have any eyebrows?”

“Still collecting.” Gu Mingke pressed his eyes, put it down, don’t you know how long he has been watching the testimony. Seeing his tired look, Li Chaoge was stunned and asked, “The Pei family? and the Changsun family are inextricably linked. I recommend you to investigate the case of Sun Yu’s rebellion, isn’t it? Is it too embarrassing for you?”

“No?.” Gu Mingke opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright, “Why do you think that? You give it to me? Do you trust me? How can I blame you in turn?”

That’s good. Li Chaoge secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In her previous life, because of her elder Sun Yu’s case, she had a relationship with Pei Ji’an. Although she has changed her husband in this life, Li Chaoge is still afraid to walk the same way in the previous life.

Gu Mingke caught a glimpse of Li Chaoge’s expression change. He didn’t change his sensuality, and suddenly asked, “How about you, have you found the Chongming Bird?”

Hearing Gu Mingke’s words, Li Chaoge returned to his senses, and instantly cleared Pei Ji’an from his own mind. Li Chaoge replied: “Not yet. Me? I’ve searched the palace up and down, so where can a bright bird hide?”

Li Chaoge even started to waver, could it be that the bird really hid outside the palace? Gu Mingke’s eyes moved lightly, as if he didn’t intend to say: “No? Be anxious, it’s easy to get caught up in the foreign minister in a hurry.”

Li Chaoge took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. I will think about the Zhongming bird again tomorrow. Li Chaoge came back early today, mainly because he wanted to guard against one person. Li Chaoge said to Gu Mingke: “The most recent person named Lai Junchen is very arrogant. This person is not simple, and always wants to rob the case of Dali Temple. Be careful.”

Gu Mingke laughed when he heard it: “Thank you. No, I’m the one who wants to rob the case of Dali Temple, shouldn’t it be you?”

“Shut up.” Li Chaoge glared at him vigorously, “Me? That’s a normal division of powers. Besides, you have robbed the Demon Division in several cases.”

Gu Mingke could not agree with this. He was about to discuss the ownership of the first few cases with Li Chaoge, when the maid’s voice suddenly came from outside: “Princess, Madam, Mrs. Yao Shao begs to see you.”

Li Chaoge was startled: “Gao Zihan?”

“Yes. Mrs. Yao Shao is outside? It seems that there is an urgent need to see the princess.”

Li Chaoge and Gu Mingke looked at each other. Li Chaoge put away his joking attitude and said, “Hurry up and invite her in.”

Time to stay, several girls who used to play together have been married as women. Gao Zihan married the eldest son of Yao’s family and has been married for two years. Gao Zihan still likes banquets after marriage. She often sends invitations to Li Chaoge, but Li Chaoge is really busy and rarely participates in their parties. What is Gao Zihan’s sudden visit now?

The maid went out? To spread the word, Li Chaoge stood up and said, “You continue to be busy with official duties, I? Go outside? Have a look. Isn’t she? A daredevil, maybe something happened?”

Gu Mingke stood up with her: “I? Let’s go with you.”

“But your case…”

“No? In a hurry.” Gu Mingke faintly pressed her words, “Your business is more important.”

Since Gu Mingke said this?, Li Chaoge did not refuse, and moved to the court with Gu Mingke. Gao Zihan walked in quickly under the leadership of the maid. She was in a hurry and her hair was scattered. When she saw Li Chaoge, she cried all of a sudden, “Sheng Yuan, do you want to save me?”

Li Chaoge was frightened, and quickly asked the maid to help Gao Zihan sit down. Gao Zihan couldn’t stop crying. She was always exquisite and gorgeous, and she was meticulous. Now she hides her face, crying, completely? Without the image of extravagance before, Li Chaoge doesn’t know what to do.

Li Chaoge was quite at a loss, she was not too good at dealing with sensational scenes, and it was even more difficult for a woman to cry in front of her. She felt that she should say something, but the words were completely blank. Li Chaoge was in a dilemma. Gu Mingke pressed her hand, leaned over and whispered in her ear?: “She’s emotionally out of control, wait. She vents? Just come.”

Li Chaoge doubted, is it true? She had to wait patiently for Gao Zihan to finish crying. After a while, Gao Zihan’s cries gradually subsided. Gao Zihan wiped his eyes with the kerchief, feeling a little embarrassed: “I’m gonna lose my temper, I made you laugh.”

Li Chaoge shook his head and motioned to the maid to help Gao Zihan down to clean up her appearance. After Gao Zihan came back, she became a delicate and elegant lady again.

Seeing that Gao Zihan had recovered, Li Chaoge asked, “Did you come in a hurry, did something urgent happen?”

Gao Zihan smiled bitterly: “It’s more than an emergency, my family? It’s in danger. It was good today, but suddenly a group of gangsters broke into the Gao family in the afternoon? They said that the Gao family? Blocked and let them search, but they turned out the previous letter and insisted that this is evidence of Gao’s collusion against the party. We have no arguments, and we can only watch them put their father and father together. My uncle took it away. My mother was immediately angry when she heard it. She sent someone to the prison to mention people, but Lai Junchen said that he was ordered by the queen to check the gang of the rebels. The Gao family and the Changsun family are relatives by in-laws. It is possible to have contact with King Han. My mother was so angry that I fainted, and I spent the whole afternoon with my husband-in-law. Can we find any way, and there will be a curfew. If we don’t? Hurry up, my father will come to Junchen’s servant. Interrogation overnight, how can I survive tomorrow? Me? There is no way, I can only come to the door in a hurry, please help with your husband and wife.”

Li Chaoge looked serious, and it turned out to be Lai Junchen. Lai Junchen is cruel and does not use any means to achieve his goal. Branding and flogging are all pediatrics. Li Chaoge had heard of cutting tongues, cramps, and nails in his previous life, and even let people sit in a red iron urn to confess. Li Chaoge was frightened after hearing those methods of extorting a confession. He came to Junchen to find Gao’s family? Obviously, he came prepared. If Gao’s father didn’t? Say? Give him a confession that satisfies him, don’t you know what he will be tortured?

Gao Zihan looked at Li Chaoge expectantly. Li Chaoge thought for a while and said: “I? No? What can I promise you, the treason case is not me? I can do it alone. But after all, my uncle is a confession. He was forced to confess to insult the royal family? , I will report to the Queen Ming and try to transfer my uncle to the prison of the Town Demon Division. As for how to finalize the case… I don’t? I know.”

Gao Zihan let out a long sigh of relief: “Thank you. As long as I can save my father from the pain of skin and flesh, let me do anything. We, my family, do everything right, don’t you? I’m afraid of him checking. I’m not? Believe that there is no king’s law in this world, and things that have never happened before, can this villain still be out of nothing? Is it possible to be born?”

Li Chaoge was silent, maybe, really.

Lai Junchen is a real villain, and his methods are not defensible. So many people died at his hands in the previous life, are these people really guilty of treason?

When Gu Mingke saw it, didn’t you know whether to comfort Gao Zihan or to comfort Li Chaoge, and said: “The case of the Changsun family’s conspiracy has not yet been investigated. Lai Junchen arrested people and ignored the legal principles. While there is no curfew, I’ll accompany you into the palace. Go to see the queen. The queen knows people and is good at her job, and she will never protect her from the public.”

Li Chaoge nodded, she stood up, and doubts flashed quickly in her heart. Is it profitable to come to Junchen? Get up early, the Gao family? No one is in the court? No one is in the court? Princess Dongyang does not have much power. For no reason, why do you come to Junchen to find the Gao family?

There seems to be a line in Li Chaoge’s mind. The grandson’s family and the Gao family are related by marriage. The prostitute of the Gao family is the co-horse of Princess Dongyang. Princess Dongyang loves socializing and has a good relationship with King Han and others. He has a relationship with Li Huai and Li Changle. Can you get along well? Wrong…

Li Chaoge suddenly realized something, and immediately said: “No? Well, their goal is the crown prince!”

Li Chaoge walked out immediately, Gu Mingke’s second message, accompany her to send out. Gao Zihan stays behind? It doesn’t matter to follow up? Yes, it doesn’t matter to stay? Yes, he turns around in a hurry.

At this moment, the torch was on in the Honghui Hall, and Wu Yuanqing led a man to block the door, aggressively.

Wu Yuanqing laughed and said loudly: “The Gao family? People confessed that they once saw the Chongming Bird in the Palace of the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince, the Chongming Bird is dedicated to the holy bird, what did you steal the bird?”

Li Huai was very frightened. He didn’t know what was going on. Suddenly a group of people broke into the house and said that he was harboring evil intentions. Li Huai tremblingly said, “I? Nothing? I know, what is a heavy bird?”

“It’s still stiff, the Gao family has already done all the tricks.” Wu Yuanqing shouted and said, “Come on, give me a search!”

People from behind rushed up and rushed into the palace to search for it, and the originally neat palace was suddenly smashed into chaos. Li Huai was frightened? An, he reprimanded in vain: “What are you doing? This palace is the crown prince. What did the palace do wrong, it is your turn to be presumptuous?”

When Wu Yuanqing heard Li Huai claiming to be the crown prince, he felt jealous and ironic in his heart. He said: “His Royal Highness, as the crown prince, has colluded with outsiders and intended to rebel, so he should be punished!”

Li Huai’s pupils tightened when he heard the words treason. Li Changle hurried over after receiving a letter from the palace man in Honghui Hall. As soon as she ran near, she saw Wu Yuanqing and Lai Junchen standing at the door, while the others were rummaging around in the palace, and Lingluo brocade and porcelain vase fell to the ground.

How dare they! The elder brother is the emperor, how can you allow these untouchables to be presumptuous?

Li Changle was furious and cursed: “Stop, what are you doing!”

Li Changle said that he was going to rush in, and Lai Junchen stretched out his hand to stop Li Changle firmly. Li Changle looked up and saw that under the blazing fire, the man with red lips and white teeth, beautiful appearance, but as cold and vicious as a snake speaking out: “Princess Guangning, Wang Wei is searching for evidence of the imperial prince’s treason. Princess Guangning is delicate and expensive. If you don’t want to be contaminated with right and wrong, it’s better to come in.”

Li Changle’s eyes widened with anger: “Presumptuous, brother, he is already the crown prince, how could he rebel?”

Lai Junchen just smiled softly. At this time, a man came out of the palace, holding a handful of feathers in his hand, and said: “Found it! The crown prince stole the Chongming Bird, afraid that things will be exposed, and he has already taken Chongming. The bird is killed!”

Li Changle and Li Huai’s faces turned pale at the same time. Li Changle had never experienced such a ridiculous thing. She was trembling with anger, but she said nothing.

At that moment, she hated herself very much for her incompetence. She spent the past few years like honey. She spent all of her time dressing up, playing, and banqueting. She felt that she didn’t need to grow up, so that at this moment when the storm hit, she Like a child, he doesn’t even have the ability to fight back.

Wu Yuanqing is triumphant, great, now he can go back to life with the queen. The queen had long been suspicious of Li Huai, and now that there is evidence, Li Huai will not escape death. When Li Huai is dead, the throne will be his.

Wu Yuanqing stared at Li Huai condescendingly, and said mockingly: “The crown prince really hides the evil heart. Come, tie up the crown prince and let the queen send it off.”

Wu Yuanqing’s doglegs swarmed, and they were about to tie Li Huai’s five flowers with a rope. Li Huai was angry and frightened, and kept backing away, accidentally tripped over the threshold and fell to the ground.

At a thrilling moment, a woman suddenly rushed out of the inner temple? A woman came, guarding Li Huai like a hen, and sternly said: “He is the son of the empress and the first emperor, the royal prince sealed by the empress, I? See who of you dare !”

Everyone was taken aback, it turned out to be Crown Princess Liu. Liu’s writing is weak, but at this moment, he is in front of Li Huai, and he is extremely fierce.

Wu Yuanqing saw that everyone was captured, and said angrily: “What are you doing in a daze, don’t you? Get them arrested!”

The crowd gathered their courage and stepped forward again. Liu looked weak and couldn’t help the wind, but she stretched out her arms to block the face of a big man, and her momentum was even stronger than Li Huai. Can’t the dogs go around? Go, one person mustered up the courage to lift Liu’s arm and pull her up: “The crown prince, offend…”

There were screams in Honghui Hall, Liu’s punches and kicks, and Li Changle’s lips trembled with anger. She was trapped by Lai Junchen, she could only do her best and shouted, “Stop!”

‘stop.”

Two voices sounded at the same time, and Li Changle was taken aback and looked back.

Li Chaoge put on his clothes and walked slowly from outside. Next to her was a man, who was dressed in Shengxue, calm and relaxed, the fire shining on him, as if disturbing the moonlight.

Li Chaoge’s voice is far less than Li Changle’s, and his tone is very calm, but needles can be heard within and outside the palace. Li Chaoge walked down the steps and walked towards the crowd. Standing in the courtyard, Wu Yuanqing couldn’t hold his face a little bit: “Cousin Sheng Yuan…”

“The queen said, I am in charge of finding the chongming bird. The king of Wei is so capable, to rob me of the case.”

“No? Yes, I? I’m here…”

Li Chaoge completely ignored Wu Yuanqing, did she squint across the crowd, crossed Wu Yuanqing, over Junchen and Li Changle, and walked past the dumbfounded Li Huai, and finally kicked the dog leg that had just grabbed Liu.

The opponent was kicked into the air and fell heavily into a pile of broken tiles. The voice hurt. And Li Chaoge’s face? Expressionless, his side face hidden in the half-dark flame? His tone was cold and tactful: “She is the crown prince, can you touch it?”
