Chapter 321 The power of rules, suppressing the rebellion!
In official circles, resorting to conspiracy tactics is still within the scope of the struggle.

If violence is used to commit murder, it would be crossing the red line, challenging the bottom line, and touching the minefield, but there is still room for discussion.

But taking action against an angel is challenging the rules.

What are the rules?
It is the framework and the foundation of everything.

Everything the powerful and wealthy have is based on rules.

Everyone must maintain and comply with it.

Dare to challenge the rules.

No matter who it is, they will face the wrath of the entire court.

Certain death!

Throughout history, no one who challenges the rules has ever had a good ending.

If you dare to burn angels to death today, will you dare to attack the officials in the court tomorrow?

If the angels don’t care, how can we care about them?

At all times, the powerful are considering their own interests.

Rules are the greatest common interests of the powerful.

The Qizhou Fire Angel is an absolute violation of the rules.

If you break the rules, you will pay a huge price.

……

Li Chengqian sat on the sedan chair, his face as cold as water, without any ripples.

Just a pair of eyes, full of chillness.

Before arriving in front of the Liangyi Hall, he saw the central ministers, Fang Xuanling, Zhangsun Wuji, Xiao Yu, Wei Zheng, Li Xiaogong and others kneeling on the ground.

The door of Liangyi Palace was wide open.

I can’t see what’s inside.

The sedan chair was put down in front of the hall, and Li Chengqian walked inside. From beginning to end, he never glanced at anyone outside the hall.

When Fang Xuanling and others heard the prince’s footsteps, they could only observe with their peripheral vision, but no one dared to look up.

The angels were burned.

Not only was the entire government and the public shocked, but everyone was in an unprecedented state of anger and anxiety.

Ma Zhou followed, and without any hesitation, he took a slight step forward and knelt down with everyone else.

“See Your Majesty!”

Li Chengqian stepped into the Liangyi Hall, but did not move forward. He just stood at the door of the hall, observing the situation inside.

There was no clutter or broken things in the temple.

It doesn’t look like it has been cleaned up.

Everything is so peaceful.

Only Li Shimin was sitting alone on the steps of the palace, facing the palace door. One could not see his expression clearly, let alone what condition he was in.

But there was an irrepressible sense of oppression in the hall.

For the first time, Li Chengqian truly felt how terrifying Li Shimin’s invisible majesty was.

He lowered his head slightly.

Didn’t Li Shimin get angry?

Not sure.

The calmer it is, the angrier it is.

When anger reaches its extreme, it is like a pool of clear water, calm on the surface but a volcano erupting beneath the water.

“Prince!”

Li Shimin spoke in a calm tone: “The angel was burned to death in the Qizhou Censorate.”

“I received a report from the Imperial Censor.” Li Chengqian said.

“What do you want to say?” Li Shimin continued to ask.

“I hope Your Majesty will exercise His Majesty’s power and blessings!”

Li Chengqian leaned forward and bowed.

“it is good.”

Li Shimin said: “I’ll leave it to you.”

“I…….”

He paused and said, “Just the result!”

Li Chengqian said sternly: “As ordered!”

He bowed and stepped back, and after he stepped out of the palace door, he turned around and stood still.

At this time, the palace door slowly closed.

Inside the Liangyi Hall.

No one knew how Li Shimin reacted.

But the calmer it was, the more it showed how terrifying the anger in Li Shimin’s heart was.

The tightly closed Liangyi Hall, in broad daylight, actually gave people the illusion that they were about to be swallowed up, oppressing everyone to the point of fear.

Li Chengqian was silent for a moment, his eyes sweeping across the kneeling ministers.

“Di Renjie!”

he shouted.

“I’m here!” Di Renjie stepped forward immediately.

At this time, he cannot call himself a student, otherwise it would be too inappropriate.

“Lead the Jinyiwei to escort Duke Zhao back to his residence.”

This statement came out.

All the ministers were shocked. Changsun Wuji suddenly looked up and looked at Li Chengqian in disbelief.

Li Chengqian looked straight ahead and didn’t even look at him.

He pursed his lips a few times, but ultimately could not utter a word and lowered his head dejectedly.

The prince wants to put him under house arrest.

It was not difficult for Changsun Wuji to judge the prince’s actions.

He has various conflicts of interest with the Shandong family and has not yet gotten rid of their shadow.

The burning of the angel was committed by a noble family from Shandong.

He had absolutely no idea and no idea that this would happen.

But would the court officials, the Holy Emperor, and the Crown Prince think so?
impossible.

No matter how much Changsun Wuji explained, it was all in vain.

No one would believe a word he said until the truth came out.

“Duke Zhao, I’m sorry.”

“please!”

Di Renjie came to Changsun Wuji and spoke politely.

“I respectfully obey your orders and thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for his grace!”

Changsun Wuji tried to stand up, but he had been kneeling for too long, his knees were numb, and he almost couldn’t stand.

Fortunately, Di Renjie intervened in time and helped him up, otherwise he would have fallen to the ground and made a fool of himself in public.

With the support of Di Renjie and the Jinyiwei following behind him, Changsun Wuji limped out of the palace.

Many people tilted their heads to look and shook their heads secretly.

It will be difficult for Changsun Wuji to pass this test.

“The Imperial Censor.”

“Chen is here!”

Ma Zhou hurried forward and knelt down waiting for orders.

“You must bring people with you immediately and ask all the following people to go home…”

When Li Chengqian read out the list, the ministers were horrified.

Almost all the officials from Shandong’s aristocratic families were caught in one fell swoop.

“I obey the order!”

After receiving the order, Ma Zhou immediately turned around and left quickly.

“Where is King Jiangxia?”

Li Chengqian asked.

Li Xiaogong said: “Your Highness, the Prince, the King of Jiangxia is on duty in the Imperial Guards and should be on his way now.”

“Send someone to tell him to come to the East Palace.”

Li Chengqian took a step forward, and the sedan chair was waiting not far ahead.

After getting on the sedan chair, he said, “All affairs of the court remain the same as before. Duke Liang is fully responsible.”

“Yes!”

After watching the prince leave, everyone helped each other to stand up.

Fang Xuanling and the others were all old. They had been kneeling for so long that their blood circulation was blocked and they could not even stand steadily.

Fortunately, the eunuch was sensible.

Two people supported one and walked slowly. After their legs and feet were loose, they let go of the eunuch and walked on their own.

“Duke Liang, this matter…”

Wei Zheng turned back hesitantly, gazing at the Liangyi Hall from afar with a worried look on his face.

“Duke Zheng, we just need to do our own thing.”

Fang Xuanling left in a hurry after saying this.

He didn’t want to talk too much.

This is not a matter for him to interfere in.

Your Majesty has ordered the Crown Prince to take personal responsibility.

Then, just do your part and wait for the results.

Silence is the best statement.

He really couldn’t figure it out, was the Shandong family crazy?

How could they do such a cruel and treasonous thing?

There are more than a dozen imperial censors including angels.

It represents the majesty of the imperial court and the power of the Holy Emperor.

Do you really think that you can just burn everything out and rest easy from now on?
Unreachable.

The big one is about to be finished.

……

East Palace.

Li Chengqian looked at the detailed report from Qizhou.

It was Su Zi, the governor of Qizhou, who reported it.

There is no exaggeration in the content, it is just a narrative.

But there are shocking contents hidden between the lines.

“Your Highness, King Jiangxia has arrived.”

The eunuch reported.

“Xuan!”

Soon, King Jiangxia Li Daozon arrived.

“Your Highness the Crown Prince…”

As soon as Li Daozon arrived, he immediately apologized.

He rushed back when he got the news, but he was still too late.

“King of Jiangxia.”

“You should know that, too.”

“I won’t say much.”

Li Chengqian said calmly: “You will set off immediately and go to Shandong. You will be stationed at the Shandong Military Governor’s Office and be able to mobilize the troops at any time.”

“Your Highness…”

Li Daozon’s heart trembled.

Mobilizing the government troops to take action, the meaning is self-evident.

Li Chengqian closed his eyes and raised his head, saying, “I will let the Prince of Jin personally preside over the Shandong case.”

“Just assist me.”

“Your Majesty does not want the process, only the result.”

“It’s the same with me.”

“Take a message to King Jin.”

Li Dao Zong lowered his head slightly.

“If he doesn’t do it to my satisfaction.”

“I will petition to have his prince title abolished.”

Li Chengqian suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Since you don’t follow the rules.

Then I won’t tell you the evidence.

just now.

Counterinsurgency!

“I obey the order!”

Li Daozon walked out of the East Palace with cold sweat on his back.

He did not go to Taiji Palace, but returned to his mansion immediately to prepare and pack his things.

“Don’t bring too much.”

“Simple clothes will do.”

“I’m leaving right away.”

Li Dao Zong ordered.

At this time, Li Xiaogong came.

“Brother!”

Li Daozon asked him to sit down and talk.

“The prince’s order was issued from the East Palace.”

“I’ll come as soon as I know.”

“Fortunately, I caught up.”

Li Xiaogong shook his head slightly and said, “When you go to Shandong, you must remember one thing: do not ask what the King of Jin wants you to do, just follow his orders.”

“How on earth could a Shandong family…?”

Li Daozon still couldn’t believe that such a horrific disaster would happen.

But before he could finish his words, Li Xiaogong interrupted him and said, “You don’t have to think about this.”

“Just do your part well.”

“They are seeking their own death, and this is nothing more than helping them.”

Li Dao Zong nodded. Everything was ready. He said, “I should go now.”

“it is good.”

Li Xiaogong personally saw him off. After Li Daozong got on his horse, he still asked, “Brother, your visit is not so simple, right?”

“You guessed all this?” Li Xiaogong patted Li Daozong’s mount and said, “I came here just to tell you.”

“This matter is not what angered the Holy Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.”

“Everyone in the court is of the same opinion.”

“Do you know what it means?”

Li Dao Zong paused for a moment and asked, “Were all those people abandoned?”

“give up?”

“I wish I could skin you alive and torture you to death!”

“If the Shandong issue is not handled properly, Changsun Wuji will fall flat on his face.”

……

Before Li Daozon left, dozens of express horses were sent out from Chang’an to Shandong.

After Li Daozon left, the news also spread in Chang’an City.

The next day’s newspapers also reported on this.

The whole city of Chang’an was shocked and no one could believe the report.

Li Yifu came to power again.

It can’t be said to be in a high position.

Cui Dunli was confined to his house, not allowed to contact the outside world, and was under the supervision of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

He is only temporarily taking over the power of the Directorate-General of Information.

“All articles on the Shandong case that contain excuses or justifications should be reported to the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice.”

“Any criticism, accusation or questioning will be examined.”

Li Yifu knew that this was the time to criticize and attack the Shandong family.

Everyone in the world knows about the ugly, bad and evil things done by the Shandong family.

Then the trend will be established.

He wants revenge.

I’ve been patient for so long and finally found an opportunity. How could I miss it?

Or it is an opportunity that they actively offer to you.

“Those in Chang’an who were too closely connected to the Shandong family were all placed under house arrest.”

“Others also kept their mouths shut.”

“If you don’t commit suicide, you won’t be able to do that.”
