Day 10.

It was clearly a deadline for the murder of Shizi poisoning, but the bad influence of this case was completely overshadowed by the sensation of another old case.

Not to mention the debate between the government and the public, even the emperor and the empress in Zichen Hall were actually not very concerned about the poisoned murderer.

However, when Li Yan reported, Li Zhi happily asked him to sit down: "Yuan Fang, it seems that this case can be settled smoothly. Two cases can be solved within ten days, okay!"

Li Yan said: "I am guilty, but I am known to be the suspect, but I suffer from insufficient evidence and may not be able to close the case within ten days."

Li Zhi was a little surprised.

All cases six years ago have been tried clearly, but no evidence was found ten days ago?

He asked directly: "Who is the murderer who poisoned Zhang Shizi?"

Li Yan said: "According to my current speculation, it is Zhang Shizi himself. He committed suicide by taking the pill."

Li Zhi raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood, and sighed: "It is only through death that he can hear the truth. The treacherous and slander are hidden and blinded my heart!"

2.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.

All the mistakes are Li Jingxuan's fault.

Li Yan said: "Zhang Shizi is a native of Runzhou and has a engagement with the daughter of the magistrate of Qi County, Dantu County. He must have realized his grievances, but he was unable to express it. Fortunately, his Majesty was wise and clear to eliminate traitors for the people. On the way to court today, I listened to the discussions on the streets and alleys, and stopped to listen, and I was also happy."

When Empress Wu heard the daughter of Qi County Magistrate, her brows moved slightly, and Li Zhi nodded slightly, feeling that Li Yuanfang became more and more pleasing to her today.

He had long seen Li Jingxuan not accustomed to it, but the other party was not wrong and it was difficult to change it rashly. This time, it was just a matter of rectification and could still leave a good reputation. The historical secretary gave a note to him, which could be an example for future generations.

The only thing that is not easy to deal with is the successor.

Li Zhi looked at the ministers below the ranks again.

If a capable minister who knows this way is to share his worries, if he is thirty years older and has the experience of serving as a civil servant in six ministries, it would be really good to join the cabinet and become the prime minister.

He suddenly whispered his thoughts and asked again: "You have no evidence, just based on the engagement between Zhang Shizi and the daughter of Qi, it is far-fetched to speculate that he seeks justice for death. What clues do you have?"

Li Yan handed over many evidence to the eunuch and presented it to him: "Your Majesty is wise. I first discovered that the subsequent symptoms of the poisoning of Shizi were not as serious as I imagined, but the murderer brutally killed Zhang Shizi, and there was a conflict between the two."

Li Zhi looked at the diagnosis of the Imperial Medical Department, especially the follow-up of Chen Yuyi and the two medical assistants, and confirmed that the scholars had basically recovered.

Thinking that if the murderer was cruel and poisoned a group of people in the Gongyuan like the Jiangnan case, the case would be really out of control and the bad influence would be difficult to eliminate for a long time, he nodded slightly.

Li Yan said again: "I also learned that Li Shouyi, a scholar in the capital, had bullied Zhang Shizi and wanted to take his pills. Li Shouyi was the concubine's son of Minister Li. He acted arrogantly, but Zhang Shizi was unwilling to sell pills. He was almost beaten to death in order to protect the pills. He must have known that this medicine was poisonous."

Hearing Li Shouyi's name, Li Zhi said disgustedly: "A mere illegitimate son, such a family tutor, is no wonder that Mr. Li is paralyzed from his son and his father!"

This trash is so cruel. When it is reported, Li Jingxuan taught his son unruly, and he was arrogant and acted evil, and was ashamed, so he collapsed at home.

The infamous is layered.

However, when he heard Zhang Yang protecting the pills and not robbing them, he looked at the confessions of other scholars, Li Zhi was a little puzzled: "Don't this person know that the Jiangnan case was done by Li Sichong. Why did he give up this opportunity to take revenge?"

Li Yan was silent for a moment and said, "I guess that Zhang Shizi is kind and does not want to harm his family!"

Obviously, the other party’s father and brother are enemies, but they do not want to affect their family, but protect the poison pill.

Such a scholar died in the end, which made Li Zhi sigh in his heart, but he did not express his opinion and continued to listen.

Li Yan said: "Third point, Your Majesty, please look at the bill provided by the Xiao family Xie family. In addition to the tribute, Zhang Shizi has been walking around in various places and looking for opportunities to seek justice. It is also because of these years that when he wanted to sell elixirs, many scholars from Jiangnan and Huainan would believe him."

Li Zhi looked at Zhang Yang's walking track and thought that this person was running around over the years and contacting those poisoned scholars. He thought that they deserved the poisoning, but after hearing this, he felt that it was understandable that he was greedy for the use of elixirs.

He changed his mind about the group of people and said, "So based on these clues, do you think that Zhang Shizi is seeking justice by death? This move is pity, but it only affects others, and it is also evil!"

Li Yan paused a little: "I think that perhaps there are people in the scholars who are informed."

Li Zhi was stunned: "For loyalty, let's take poison together?"

Li Yan said: "Reported to the saint, it is only possible that I have seen that other scholars did not hate Zhang Shizi after missing the imperial examination. Instead, they became even more angry with Li Shouyi's bullying, so they made this speculation without any real evidence."

Behind the tent, Li Zhi's face became puzzled, and he said in his heart: "This is absolutely impossible!"

The imperial examination is a matter of changing one's destiny. For the sake of the grievances of others, one may have one or two people, but there will never be many.

This poisoning involves dozens of people. If only one or two people are willing to have a case with Zhang Yang, what's the point? Do you still want to poison others?

unless……

He looked at the list of clues specially compiled by Li Yan, and his eyes quickly moved: "Mei Niang, take a look."

Empress Wu took it and soon thoughtful, then suddenly realized: "Your Majesty, I understand."

The emperor and the empress looked at each other and understood it.

I see.

Bitter meat plan.

With the good impressions mentioned above, Li Zhi only felt that these scholars were pitifully stupid.

Even if this plan is successful now, what if you become an official?

Do you have no intersection in the future?

Once there is an intersection, won’t everyone hold the other person’s handle?

When one united to overcome injustice, one can share the same difficulties. When one grasps power, how can one share the same wealth?

Now, you don’t need to worry about it, leave all the handles to me!

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! Calculate the number of these scholars in Jiangnan and their family background, Li Zhi's eyes lit up slightly.

I was worried about how to balance the situation in the court and the opposition before, this is a brand new idea.

There is just one more problem.

Li Yuanfang sat down below and prepared to continue investigating the case.

You can know the truth about this kind of thing, but you cannot reveal it.

It was revealed that it was a serious crime to deceive the emperor. If it was not punished, where was the imperial power?

If you feel that the imperial examination is unfair in the future, you will swallow medicine before the exam to demonstrate, then don’t take the scholars.

Therefore, this case cannot be investigated in depth.

Li Zhi changed the topic: "Yuan Fang, have you seen the list of today's scholars?"

Li Yan knew as soon as he heard that his guidance was over. It was time for the other party to come. He immediately said: "I have read the words of Your Majesty."

Li Zhi's tone became gentle, with a bit of seriousness: "You have made meritorious service in the inner guard and are not governed by the three provinces and six ministries, and you can get rid of the imperial examination system. However, those imperial examination scholars, who have studied hard for many years, are still difficult!"

He said in a casual manner: "Wude dynasty, the administration of the government collapsed. In the first year of Zhenguan, the late emperor asked Fang Gong to streamline the officials. Fang Gong fulfilled his mission and cut the court officials to more than 600. The number of scholars selected by the court in each subject should not be excessive..."

This is true. The Song Dynasty Jinshi often had hundreds of ranks. As a result, the redundant officials did not say anything, and it also caused party disputes.

Because there are so many official positions, the new Jinshi is waiting every year, and those old people are not so easy to die, so they naturally have to fight for it.

Only by falling down a group of people can new official positions be vacated and new people can come up.

But this is not entirely true. There are so few Jinshi in the Tang Dynasty, and the bigger reason is that the family is too prosperous and they have seized the quota.

Li Zhi was actually very clear about the situation in the court, but he didn't say it on weekdays, but now he mentioned it a little more sympathy and hints in his words: "But there are many scholars in the world, especially outside the states. It is difficult to get a literary transfer to Beijing, and the journey is quite difficult. It is also considerate to build a Gong Academy school. You are also good at Liangzhou, so you should have an understanding of this!"

Li Yan blinked: "Your Majesty is kind!"

Seeing that he still didn't understand, Li Zhi passed on the list: "Look carefully. If there is any suspicion of conspiracy, what are they doing?"

Under the glory of the emperor and empress, Li Yan finally showed a sudden enlightenment: "Can you say...ah..."

Seeing that there was sympathy between his eyebrows, Li Zhi followed the trend and said: "This incident occurred from the Jiangnan case. Since the scholars did not do evil, there was no need to investigate some of them..."

Li Yan was stunned and showed a complete convincing look: "Your Majesty is generous and kind, I understand!"

Empress Wu secretly learned the art of controlling the underworld by secretly, and she became more and more perfect.

Li Zhi smiled and accepted it calmly.

This is everyone's joy.

A new batch of chess pieces was gained, which strengthened the loyalty of capable ministers and opened up new ideas to balance the situation.

It's going to win.

But after scanning the confession of Li Shouyi's accusation, Li Zhi showed disgust again.

This kind of evil man is still Li Jingxuan's son, so there is no need to keep it.

Li Zhi asked, "Li Shouyi is in the inner prison, can he be interrogated?"

Li Yan shook his head: "I did not interrogate. He had concealed many things. I thought it was because I was involved in this case and took it down. Now it seems that it has nothing to do with this case."

Li Zhi said coldly: "If you don't feel bad, why should you hide it? This case does not need to be handed over to the inner guard for trial. Li Shouyi will be transferred to Chang'an County Government and investigate the beloved son of Mr. Li. What have he done in the past few years and show it to the public!"

Li Shouyi is finished.

If these noble children in Chang'an are found, there will be few clean ones.

Such a child born in a vain has a low status at home, and when he gets to the outside world, he is even more ordinary to commit crimes.

At that time, the incident of Li Shou will prove that Li Jingxuan is evil, and it can be said that he will kill two birds with one stone.

Li Zhi put down the case file.
