Chapter 63 Well played! Li Xin's eyes moved, "According to what I see, a separate marriage will not only save the face of Qin Guogong, but also save the affection of father and emperor!"
Li Shilong's eyes were about to burst into flames.
Shit doesn't work.
Wrong again! Seeing that Li Shilong was silent, Li Xin's bold head met Li Shilong's cold eyes.
In an instant, panic welled up in my heart.
He wondered, could what he said be wrong? "Father, I understand that Duke Qin is kind to our family, but public and private affairs cannot be confused. If Qin Hanzi is let go today, there will be Liu Hanzi and Zhao Hanzi! Please tell me, my father, that my heart is only for the world. If the Duke of Qin returns to the capital, I am willing to come personally to apologize to the Duke of Qin! "
"You still want to come?"
Li Shilong could hardly suppress his anger.
"Yes, Father!"
Li Xin prostrated.
In the Tai Chi Palace, it was eerily quiet.
Li Shilong was extremely disappointed with Li Xin.
"Come here, call Gongsun Wuji, Hou Gennian, and Du Jingming to me and ask them to wait outside. They are not allowed to come in without my order!"
Hearing this, Gongsun Chong and the others trembled! They couldn't help but look at each other, exchanging glances, and both saw fear in each other's eyes.
Li Xin felt extremely uneasy.
Soon, Chen Wanqing entered the palace.
As the magistrate of Chang'an County, he only entered the palace a handful of times.
Moreover, the one who came to summon him was His Majesty's personal eunuch, Gao Shilian.
This person in Daqian is known as the hidden figure. He has been the savior several times and is Li Shilong's confidant.
Following Gao Shilian, Chen Wanqing felt extremely anxious.
Entering the Tai Chi Palace, Chen Wanqing couldn't help but bend down, looking at the prince and others kneeling there, his heart pounding.
But then I thought about it, this matter was for the prince, what did he have to be afraid of?
"Weak minister Chen Wanqing, please see your Majesty. Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
Chen Wanqing made a bow and bowed to the ground.
But His Majesty did not ask him to get up, and he did not dare to get up without His Majesty's words.
Just through the corner of his eye, he could see Gao Shilian kneeling beside His Majesty, whispering something.
Strong uneasiness welled up in my heart.
After listening to Gao Shilian's words, Li Shilong's face was expressionless, and the coldness in his eyes became stronger, "Chen Wanqing, I ask you, you must recruit him truthfully!"
"Your Majesty, please give me your instructions!"
"Who gave you the power to search the Qin family?"
Chen Wanqing's forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, "His Majesty issued the toasting order half a year ago, and the effect was remarkable. Except for the Sanle pulp from the Western Regions, there is only a small amount of home-brewed fruit wine on the market! Cider was not included in Prohibition.
The three bowls Qin Mo openly sold were not for the post, but for grain and wine. Everyone knew that he knew the law, violated the law, and despised the king's law. Although the minister was the county magistrate, he pretended to be his majesty and the world, so he brought people to the door to question him clearly.
But Qin Mo not only refused to cooperate, but also beat the minister in the street. "
His face was swollen and his speech was a little slurred. In fact, he was beaten on the way to the palace.
"Thousands of people saw it. Your Majesty will know if you ask!"
"Okay, then let me ask you, what right do you have to detain Qin Mo?"
Li Shilong's voice became colder.
"This"
Chen Wanqing was extremely nervous. The county magistrate detained the prince's son and the consort of Princess Jingyang. This was trespassing. The following offenses were taboo!
Li Xin gritted his teeth, "Father, Qin Mo does not respect the imperial court and despises the king's laws. It was my son who ordered the county magistrate Chen to be temporarily imprisoned, pending his Majesty's death. Now that Qin Mo has confessed to the mistakes he committed, Qin Mo should be removed from the county magistrate. Prison, transfer to Dali Temple for interrogation!"
Gongsun Chong also had the courage to say: "Your Majesty, Qin Mo is extremely arrogant and has made many mistakes. If he is not severely punished, it will not be enough to revive the government!"
Du Jingming prostrated himself: "Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
Hou Gennian also followed suit, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
"A good one is handed over to Dali Temple, but a good one is not enough to revitalize the government without severe punishment!"
Li Shilong stood up from the dragon chair and walked down the steps step by step. Everyone watching was shocked.
"Have Gongsun Wuji and the others arrived? Where did they die?"
Li Shilong was furious, and his voice echoed in Tai Chi Palace and spread far away! Everyone trembled in fright.
Li Xin still wanted to speak, but Li Shilong didn't give them a chance at all, "According to my decree, Chen Wanqing is demoted to a commoner and will never be hired!"
Prince Li Xin was detained for a month. He was not allowed to leave the East Palace or go to the Imperial Academy. He was forced to sit in front of the wall and think about his mistakes. He was forced to copy four books and five classics. When he admits his mistakes, he will come out again!
As for you three, go back! "
Li Shilong looked at Gongsun Chong and the others coldly, "Cancel the qualifications of the three of them to accompany the crown prince!"
boom! Li Shilong's words made the four people kneeling in the hall dumbfounded.
How could this be? Chen Wanqing's body was shaking like a sieve. He was obviously thinking about the prince, but did he really end up demoting him to a commoner?
"Your Majesty, I have done nothing wrong!"
"correct?"
Li Shilong snorted coldly, "You think you are right, but it is the biggest mistake! Qin Mo is my son-in-law, the husband-in-law of Jingyang, the son of Qin Xiangru, and the loyal minister of Daqian.
In terms of status, he is the prince's consort. You are only a sixth-grade county magistrate. It is already a serious crime to overstep your custody.
Logically speaking, those three bowls are not enough. I have also drunk them. I know very well how the wine is made. Is it possible that my old eyes are dim and I will condone Qin Mo who knows the law and breaks the law?
Or, in your eyes, I am a foolish and foolish king? "
Chen Wanqing almost lost his temper.
God, your majesty actually drank three bowls and was still on duty.
He looked at Li Xin in horror, "His Royal Highness."
Li Xin's expression also changed drastically. Oops, he made a mistake.
I wanted to use the wine-making order as an excuse to punish Qin Mo, but I didn't expect that my father actually drank three bowls of wine and even knew how the wine was made!
Gongsun Chong and the other three were also horrified at this time.
It's over, here's the big trouble.
"Pull it down and have it investigated thoroughly!"
His dagger-like eyes swept over the dead man, and Li Shilong's voice was without a trace of emotion, "Qin Mo's wine is obtained from secondary processing. How could it be possible to use new grains to make wine? How did you find the evidence?
This calligraphy is even more ridiculous. Qin Mo is so naive that he may not even understand what it means! "
"Your Majesty, I didn't lie, I didn't lie."
Chen Wanqing was pulled down by the guards.
Li Xin gritted his teeth, "Father, even if there is a problem with Qin Mo's brewing case, it is always right for Qin Mo to beat the imperial officials in the street. My son and others have seen it with their own eyes. This is already against the law!"
"The following overcomes the superior, confusing right and wrong, good fight!"
Li Shilong was really disappointed with Li Xin. Even though he had said this, he was still obsessed with it and even wanted to be cruel to Qin Mo.
Li Xin could hardly believe his ears.
What did the father say? He actually said he played well? By allowing his son-in-law to attack the imperial officials, does he no longer want to be a famous king through the ages? (End of this chapter)
