Tang Dynasty: The seventh rank of official residence, and you will be given the Ten Thousand People

The slave girl had observed Princess Taiping's expression, and it didn't look like she knew about this.

In addition, King Yan is dead, so there is only one person who has the ability to intervene in this matter.

Gao Lishi pointed upward meaningfully.

Li Longji frowned deeply and said in a somewhat uncertain tone.

"You mean Your Majesty?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, the entire Tang Dynasty knows that there are two people that His Majesty loves the most."

"They are Princess Taiping and Princess Anle respectively, and Princess Taiping is the worst among them."

"Do you think His Majesty will watch his sister get raped?"

Li Longji had to admit that Gao Lishi's analysis was very clear.

The only people in the entire Tang Dynasty who had the ability to intervene in this matter were Fan Xin and the emperor.

The former is dead, so the answer is self-evident.

a long time.

Li Longji took a breath and patted Gao Lishi on the shoulder.

"Since the emperor has decided to intervene in this matter, then I have nothing to hesitate about."

"Order someone to send the confession to Prince Ning. After reading it, he will naturally know what to do."

"let's go!"

……

Qinzheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, according to my investigation, the mastermind behind the scientific examination fraud case is Cui Ti, the minister of worship at the Imperial Academy, and Meng Xiaohua, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."

"And several governors of Lanzhou, Bingzhou, Tanzhou, and Yangzhou jointly planned it."

"Using imperial examinations and reselling official positions to make huge profits."

"Up to the time of the incident, a total of 330 people had been brought to justice and were being tried by the three judicial divisions."

The young minister of Dali Temple held a jade guide and reported in a serious manner.

Bang!

Slapping his palm on the dragon table, Li Xian stood up suddenly with a livid expression on his face.

"How much money did these damn morons steal in total?"

"Your Majesty, a total of 8.5 million copper coins and 100,000 taels of silver!"

"What did you say!"

Li Xian was so shocked that he almost fell to the ground. The Tang treasury's annual tax revenue was only tens of millions.

It is unbelievable that these corrupt officials have embezzled so much money.

"Kill! Kill them all for me. Failure to kill these corrupt officials will not quell my anger!"

This time Li Xian really had murderous intentions. If the Sanfa Division had not intervened early, the entire Tang Dynasty would have been destroyed in the hands of these people.

How will he explain to his ancestors at that time?

The young minister of Dali Temple looked solemn and bowed.

"I will go back to my clothes, light candles, and make a final decision!"

"Wait!"

After calling Shao An, who looked confused, Li Xian hesitated.

"Is my sister involved in this major imperial examination case?"

Shao An was startled, then said calmly.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to the joint investigation by Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, Princess Taiping did not know what Cui and Meng did."

"If judged according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it would only be a crime of negligence."

call!

Li Xian breathed a long sigh of relief when he heard that his sister had nothing to do with this shocking case.

He said with a relaxed expression.

"This sister of mine is good at everything, but she is careless and careless, and she was almost harmed by her own client."

"Public order, Taiping neglected to discipline his subordinates, and almost brought shame to his ancestors. From now on, he will be grounded for three days and fined two hundred coppers."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Shao An bowed again and exited the Qinzheng Hall. When he passed by Li Duoqi, he bowed his hands in salute to the latter.

"Prince Ning, why are you here?

Li Xian was slightly surprised to see his nephew coming. He had the impression that this nephew stayed at Hanguang Temple all day long to pray for the Supreme Emperor.

I usually never show up when I have nothing to do. Unexpectedly, the sun came out from the west today.

"Your Majesty, I am here to report something important to you!"

Li Chengqi bowed his body slightly, holding a yellow memorial in his hands.

"Oh, what's important? Let me take a look."

Taking the memorial from the chamberlain, Li Xian took a curious look.

However, after just one glance, the smile froze on his face and he spoke every word.

"Prince Ning is doing well, why do you want to go to the border?"

Li Xian never dreamed that his nephew would leave Luoyang

This shocked him even more than the major imperial examination case just now.

Li Chengqi smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I am born stupid and am definitely not the best candidate to be crown prince. It is better to give him to a more suitable person."

Li Xian's frown deepened and he said patiently.

"Since ancient times, there has been an order of growth and development. Your father gave way to me. According to the rules, it is your turn to be the prince. I will not allow you to go to the border."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Li Chengqi fell to his knees on the ground and cried loudly.

"Your Majesty, please do it for me, otherwise I won't be able to live."

He told Li Xian everything about his wife's uncle's reselling of official titles.

The latter was shocked and angry. What surprised him was that his nephew was actually involved in the case of selling his official position.

What makes him angry is that this guy Li Longji, in order to take charge of the imperial power, went so far as to disown his relatives!

Seeing that King Ning had made up his mind, Li Xian waved his hands distractedly.

"You go back first and let me think about it again."

After sending the prince away, Li Xian ordered people to find Princess Taiping. He wanted to ask the girl what she meant.

About halfway through the incense burner, Princess Taiping in a long red dress walked into the Qinzheng Hall.

"Brother Huang brought me here so late. Is there something wrong?"

"You guys go out first."

After driving away the chamberlain and the palace maid, Li Xian couldn't help but sigh.

"Oh, it's hard to describe in words, just see for yourself."

Throwing the letter to his sister, Li Xian walked to the window with a sad look on his face.

Snapped!

After reading the letter, Princess Taiping slapped the letter on the table with her pretty face and said with a smile.

"This Li Longji has gone too far! In order to hold on to power, he does not hesitate to resort to such despicable means."

"Brother Imperial, you must never agree!"

Li Xian rubbed his temples, wondering.

"When Li Dan abdicated to me, I swore that once he ascended the throne again one day, I would make his son the crown prince to repay the favor of the Zen throne."

"Now that Li Duoqi doesn't want to, I have no choice."

Regarding Li Xian's concerns, Princess Taiping didn't have many good solutions.

Li Longji was too clever and used Prince Ning's wife and uncle to threaten the entire royal family.

Once Li Chengqi refused to go to the frontier, he would let King Ning's wife and uncle bite him back.

At that time, whether King Ning wants to or not, he will have to step down from the title of future crown prince.

The brother and sister searched for a solution for a long time but came up with no good idea.

In the end, I could only decide to postpone it for a while and then take a look.

When she came back from the palace, Princess Taiping didn't even eat. She directly ordered Dou Huaizhen, Xiao Zhizhong and other close ministers to be summoned.

When they heard that King Ning was leaving Luoyang for the frontier, many people's faces darkened.

"Your Highness, is this absolutely true?"

"Really, I just came back from the palace. Judging from the emperor's attitude, it seems that he will announce this matter in a few days."
