Chapter 688: Hall of Fame!

Chapter 688

The two thin pieces of letter paper fell on the ground, but they seemed to be extremely heavy, and instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. There were bursts of sneer faintly in the hall, and everyone seemed to be able to see Li Heng's end.

Li Heng didn't speak, and was silent for a moment, then knelt down and picked up the letter paper on the ground.

These are two correspondences, one of which is Zhang Yang, a frontier military general of the Tang Dynasty and a patrolling military general of Beiting. If you understand the border system in Datang, you will know that the northern part of Datang has a long border.

Although the entire northern part belongs to Beiting Protectorate, it is subject to the Great Protector An Sishun. But beyond this, there are many fortresses set up on the long border extending from Beiting Protectorate's Mansion, which are guarded by military generals.

These heavy generals are usually not under the control of Beiting, they are only in charge of their respective defensive sections, and pass the news to the Beiting Protectorate. Once something happened, the Beiting Protectorate's Mansion must immediately send troops to help.

It can be seen from this point that these fortresses are actually similar to "little imperial courts" with political and military independence.

Because of this, most of the frontier generals of these military fortresses have a high weight, and in addition to the importance of the location, most of the generals guarding them are of extraordinary strength, at least they are titled generals, so they have been wooed by the princes in the palace.

This Zhang Yang is such a general of the frontier fortress.

This letter looked ordinary, discussing some frontier wars, but Zhang Yang expressed his appreciation for a prince and his intention to take refuge in every line.

Li Heng was silent for a moment, then looked at the second letter. But after only one glance, Li Heng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his whole face changed.

"Nizi, do you see that letter is your note?"

The Holy Emperor's voice was like thunder, coming from above the hall.

"It does look very similar to Erchen's."

Li Heng straightened his body and said calmly.

"Hmph, Fifth Brother, you are really stubborn. You dare to deny it in front of your father, can't you even recognize your own handwriting?"

With a sneer, the third prince Li Ju took two steps forward, his face full of disdain.

"Fifth prince, you should be honest, forming a party for personal gain,

Colluding with the military general Wen Cheng in the court is a serious crime, but lying in front of His Majesty is a crime of deceiving the king, which is much more serious than the crime of forming a party for personal gain. "

Yao Zongping, the teacher of the third prince, also spoke at this time.

"How can Li Heng admit to something he hasn't done?"

Li Heng said in a deep voice.

"Your Highness, you colluded with Zhang Yang, the general patrolling the village, and the two sides exchanged letters. This is already conclusive evidence. Even if you want to deny this, it is useless. Zhang Yang has already been dismissed by His Majesty and taken to the capital. Your Highness, please don't deny it again. Yes. Your Majesty is actually giving you a chance!"

Grand Tutor Chen Yong shook his head, his face full of disappointment.

You are not joking, although there were princes who made mistakes in the past, most of them admitted their mistakes on the spot, and the Holy Emperor was able to be punished lightly. There has never been anyone who contradicted like the fifth prince.

This is by no means a wise move.

He originally had some good feelings for the newly-promoted Fifth Prince, but now the last trace of good feelings has disappeared.

"You don't need to say too much, Tai Tu, I'll take care of it myself."

In the main hall, the Holy Emperor's voice was so high that no expression could be heard.

"Nizi, you have colluded with the generals and formed a clique for personal gain. There are letters to prove it. The evidence is conclusive. Since you don't want to admit it, I won't force you. I ordered people to search for this list from your study. Take a look. Do you recognize the handwriting on it?"

Before the voice fell, hey, the third letter paper floated from the top of the hall like a sharp knife and flew towards Li Heng.

Li Heng stretched out his hands to catch the letter, and in an instant, the mountain-like power on the letter disappeared without a trace.

When Li Heng looked down, he saw one name after another on the letter paper. It was the list of ministers he had given to Wang Chong not long ago for his reference, review, and preparation to win over.

"Zuo Honglin, Su Guosheng, Qi Haiqing, Wei Shaoyou, Cui Yi, Lu Jianjin, Li Han, and Wei Lan and Wei Jian from the Wei family... Nizi, what exactly do you want?"

The last sentence, bang, was slammed by the Holy Emperor. In an instant, the hall roared. All the princes and teachers, including the grand master and grand master, all looked suffocated and kept silent.

Having been by the Holy Emperor's side for many years, the Grand Master and Grand Tutor deeply knew that once this happened, it would be the time when the Holy Emperor was truly furious.

If the fifth prince, Li Heng, still refuses to admit it to death and is ignorant of current affairs, then what awaits him next will be a far more serious punishment than forming a party for personal gain.

The fifth prince, Li Heng, may not only be imprisoned, but also ruined his future. He may not even be able to be an ordinary person. Even the teacher who taught him and the attendants in the palace may be punished.

In the worst case, Li Heng may lose his life.

And everything that follows depends on what Li Heng says.

"Father, my son knows that no matter what I say, you will not believe it, and my father said that this list was found from my study, and my son also knows that there is absolutely nothing wrong with it."

Li Heng's voice sounded in everyone's ears:

"But I can confess to my father that this list was definitely not written by my son. I don't know who framed me, and I don't know how he entered my study and stuffed this list into it. .However, no matter how much thought he has spent and how well-planned, he is still a wise man who is always careful, and there is bound to be a mistake, leaving a mistake."

"oh?"

As soon as Li Heng's voice fell, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the hall. The originally solemn atmosphere in the hall also showed some fluctuations, and the princes on both sides of the hall showed a faint sense of uneasiness.

"You mean, this list and the letter are forged?"

The Holy Emperor's voice was thoughtful.

Obviously, this scene was unexpected by everyone.

"Exactly!"

The fifth prince Li Heng stood upright, looking up at the majestic figure in the hall, his expression was calm, without the slightest dodge.

"Buzz!"

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the words of the fifth prince immediately caused a commotion in the hall. Even the Taifu and Taishi, who were on the left and right sides of the Holy Emperor, looked serious and always serious, looked at each other, and there was a slight looseness on their stern faces.

Although it is absolutely impossible for the Holy Emperor to make mistakes, the fifth prince Li Heng's expression does not seem to be fake, and in the palace, the princes frame each other, such things have happened in all dynasties.

In an instant, both the Taifu and the Taishi looked at the third prince Li Ju outside the main hall.

"Li Heng, you fart! Dare to do it or not!"

Li Ju's face turned red all of a sudden:

"Since you have the guts to do such a thing, why don't you dare to admit it?"

"So, all this is Brother Sanhuang, right?"

Li Heng looked at the third prince Li Ju on the side. If it was unclear at the beginning, then the moment the third prince stood up, Li Heng was sure in his heart that standing behind him and directing all this must be the third prince Li Ju .

The third prince Li Ju was suffocated, and immediately knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, but soon Li Ju sneered.

"Fifth brother, it's useless to say what you say now, everything has its own father and emperor."

Li Ju turned his head as he spoke, and gave a deep salute to the Holy Emperor above the main hall. He was not worried about being exposed and being hated by Li Heng, but if he was mistaken by the Holy Emperor to frame his brother and frame him, then everything would be a big deal.

The Holy Emperor didn't speak, and didn't even look at Li Ju, his eyes stayed on Li Heng who was kneeling under his highness.

Li Ju's face turned red, and he quickly stepped aside, closing his mouth and not speaking anymore.

"Say it!"

The Holy Emperor only said two words, his voice was neither high nor low, but it rang clearly in everyone's ears, revealing a supreme majesty.

"Father, my third brother framed me for being in collusion with Zhang Yang, the patrolling general. I have nothing to say about this, and I can't prove my innocence. But my third brother forged this list of collusion with the ministers of the DPRK and China. If it is true, it will be fine." , I admit it, but I was mistaken by my cleverness, no matter how finely I did it, no matter how hard I tried, there was still a loophole in the end."

The corners of Li Heng's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

"Li Heng! Don't spout blood! What does the list you draw up in collusion with the ministers of the DPRK and China have anything to do with me?"

When Li Ju heard that Li Heng had planted the blame on him, he immediately became angry. If it wasn't for the presence of the Holy Emperor, he might have rushed up long ago.

"Hmph, bright people don't do dark things, you know if you did it."

Li Heng looked up at his elder brother and sneered. If it was before, he might restrain himself and admit it, but this time it is different, since they harbor evil intentions and want to put themselves to death, then there is no need to back down in the slightest.

"go on!"

The Holy Emperor's voice was quiet, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"yes!"

Li Heng bowed deeply, raised his head again and continued:

"Court Councilor Zuo Honglin, Shangshu Zuopu shot Su Guosheng, Border Cavalry General Wu Yanqing, Dali Sizhi Cui Yi, Shuofang Transit Envoy Wei Shaoyou, Wei Lan and Wei Jian, the sons of Wei Shi in the capital..., these names, my sons and daughters have nothing to say. It can be said that it is a pity that a wise man is bound to make a mistake, no matter how cautious the people who drew up this list, they made an irreparable mistake in the end, the last name on the list is Secretary Supervisor Chen Wenxiao!"

"A few days ago, Mrs. Xu happened to tell my son about the Secretary Supervisor. If I remember correctly, none of the twenty-four adults in the Secretary Supervisor is named Chen Wenxiao."

After saying the last word, Li Heng's body became more straight, and his expression became more confident. For a while, everyone in the hall couldn't help but be taken away by his expression.

The princes on the left and right, as well as the teachers of all the princes, couldn't help their eyelids twitching wildly, especially the third prince Li Ju, whose complexion changed and became extremely pale.

Secretary Jian is a small official, from the rank of the third rank, his status in the court is not high, and he has no power to participate in the government. Therefore, no one would notice at all among the courtiers, let alone Chen Wenxiao, who was a secretary.

It's just that no matter how inattentive everyone was, they would never have thought that Chen Wenxiao on that list didn't exist at all. If Chen Wenxiao didn't exist at all, it means that this list is not credible at all.

On the other hand, it means that someone is maliciously framing and framing Li Heng.

If so, this matter is no small matter. In an instant, many eyes turned to the third prince Li Ju who was on the side of the main hall.
