Daqin: Qin Shihuang can hear my heart

Chapter 27
Oh!
Ying Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and turned his ears slightly, hoping to hear more useful information.

Today's court meeting is bound to arouse strong opposition from powerful officials. He discussed with Feng Quji that if he wants to succeed in the imperial examination, he must deter one powerful official and make an example to others, otherwise it will be very difficult to implement.

After all, this policy seriously affects the interests of the powerful, and they will not sit idly by.

Just like when the system of prefectures and counties was implemented at the beginning, many dignitaries opposed it. Chunyuyue was a special case. The emperor used strong methods to leave many officials idle. Even the prime minister Wang Wan was persuaded to quit before he was able to calm down.

"I remember that some time ago Li Si accepted Yan Zongzheng's money, saying it was a gift to help recommend his son."

oh?To accept Yan Jun's money and silk is to accept bribes!Well done for taking bribes!

When Ying Zheng heard Li Zhao's heartfelt feelings, his heart turned cold.

"Of course I know that Li Xiang is an official." Then he finished the next sentence, and looked at Li Si with some disapproval, with an emphasis on his tone, extremely cold, "Extremely corrupt."

Verbal reversal.

Ah!
Li Si was startled when he heard this, but couldn't react, his body trembled.What is His Majesty talking about? He has never questioned himself before, how could he say such things at this moment.

Extremely corrupt, not a good evaluation!

Quickly knelt down and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I have been working hard for the country and have never been corrupt. Why don't you ask other people, they know me best."

Li Si moved out the courtiers.

The courtiers immediately came out, and their actions were unusually consistent. There were more than half of the officials, and Yan Jun was among them.

"Your Majesty, Li Xiang was wronged."

How unanimous.

"Really?" Ying Zheng glanced coldly at Yan Jun.

"Yan Jun, is Li Xiang really wronged?"

Yan Jun's body trembled, he quickly stepped forward, tried his best to keep calm and said, "Yes."

"Oh! Then how do you explain the money you sent to Li's residence?"

ah!How did His Majesty know?
Yan Jun's body trembled, his eyes were dimly frightened, but he tried his best to hide it, he quickly knelt down, begged for mercy, and said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged! I never sent money and silk to the Li family, someone must have framed me."

"But someone saw you bribing Li Xiang!"

Ying Zheng's eyes sharpened.

"Impossible, I have never set foot in Li's mansion, so how can someone see it, please learn from your Majesty."

"Really?" Ying Zheng sneered and waved at Li Zhao.

Li Zhao was startled, and couldn't help taking a step back, thinking: What is Qin Shihuang going to do, isn't he asking me to testify!

Damn, I'm just a little girl, how do I know about these powerful officials?Moreover, by pushing me out like this, isn't it obvious that I want to fight against them?If they were really targeted by them, they would not even know how to die.

When Ying Zheng heard this, his expression turned serious, and he secretly said: Brat, so you are so afraid of death, but so what, you have to testify.

"Li Zhao, as a member of the Li family, have you seen Yan Zongzheng in the Li family?"

It really is!
Li Zhao had no choice but to walk out with a bitter face, came to the hall, glanced at Yan Jun, and replied honestly: "I have seen it!"

"You're bloody!" Yan Jun became anxious, pointing at Li Zhao and yelling, "I don't know him at all, how could he have seen me?"

This is a bit ignorant. Recently, who doesn't know Li Zhao?
Li Si didn't expect that His Majesty would ask Li Zhao to testify. He was afraid that Li Zhao would say something, so he quickly said, "Your Majesty, Li Zhao is just a child who doesn't understand anything. Don't listen to his nonsense."

When Li Zhao saw Li Si, he became angry, and the servant said that he didn't understand anything. Isn't this embarrassing him in front of the officials?

He, Li Zhao, loves face.

"I'm not talking nonsense. I just saw him in Li's residence, and I saw him order someone to carry the ceremony frame over. It looks very heavy."

Oh!
Ying Zheng smiled, and the other powerful officials immediately stayed away from Yan Jun when they saw that the situation was not good.

"You..." Li Si was going crazy when he heard this, and regardless of the fact that this is the court, he pulled Li Zhao over and reprimanded him, "Zhao, don't talk nonsense, so as not to embarrass you."

"Uncle!" Li Zhao pretended to be aggrieved, "I'm not talking nonsense, I really saw him, and I saw him give the ceremony frame to my aunt."

"Nonsense, it's nothing." Li Si raised his face, but his heart was croaking with hatred.

Li Zhao seemed annoyed by what Li Si said, and said loudly, "I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to have a look. My aunt put the ceremony stand in the small room on the rockery."

Yes, Li Mansion has a rockery.

Li Si's face was livid with anger, and he thought bitterly in his heart that this was done on purpose, it must be on purpose.

"Oh!" Ying Zheng smiled, a sneer, raised his face suddenly, and asked Li Si, "Li Xiang, is there such a thing?"

Li Si hurriedly knelt down and cried out: "Your Majesty, I don't know what this kid is talking about. It's all my fault. I usually neglect to discipline him, which leads to my poor brain and nonsense speech, which affects the atmosphere of the court."

"The minister is guilty, please Your Majesty punish the minister for the crime of not teaching."

Old fox, this is a pretext.

Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si secretly, and said, "Really? I heard that this kid is not good at lying, what do you think?"

Li Si's face was pale, His Majesty was directly targeting him.Why?He is His Majesty's favorite minister!
The other ministers didn't want Li Si to be implicated, and pleaded with one voice: "Your Majesty, what Li Xiang said is reasonable, but this son has a bad temper, and he must hate Li Si's words. The ministers think it is impossible."

"Hehe!" Ying Zheng laughed again, so sinister.Li Si, Li Si, how many hearts have you won!

The next moment, he became ruthless, "Where are the guards? Go to Li's mansion immediately and search the rockery."

"If it's true, arrest Mrs. Li."

ah!Li Si was directly paralyzed with fright, and looked at Li Zhao with extremely resentful eyes.

Yan Jun was also paralyzed on the ground in fright. If His Majesty really finds out something, he will not be able to escape the crime.

Li Zhao looked like a normal person, smiling like a child, but who knew that what he said just now was intentional, of course, it was also true, he saw it with his own eyes.

"No!" The guards stationed in the hall obeyed the order and left quickly.

After half an hour, the guards came back, bringing Li Jia and Mrs. Li along with them.

Mrs. Li was frightened by the guards' formation long ago, but once she arrived at the court hall, she couldn't drag her plump figure any longer.

"Master, it's not good, our rockery quilt, quilt."

"Shut up, what about us, I don't know anything." Li Siqiang tried to calm down and reprimanded Li Shi.

"My lord, no."

Mrs. Li was stared back fiercely by Li Si.

Ying Zheng showed a terrible smile, and said to Li Si: "Li Xiang, what else do you want to say, is this called getting stolen goods at the same time?"

Pfft!
Li Si knelt down heavily, but showed a distressed expression, and said, "Your Majesty, you are a strange minister! The strange minister is not well supervised, allowing this greedy woman to collect bribes privately and destroy the court program. I promise that I will never know about it."

"It's all this greedy woman who makes her own decisions."
