All officials entered the hall and the court began.

Li Shui looked around and found that Wang Jian did not appear. It seemed that Wang Jian fainted at the gate of the palace yesterday, which caused a lot of harm to him.

After Ying Zheng arrived, all the officials calmed down, and most of the people's eyes focused on Li Shui.

The content of today's court discussion is not to be thought about. It must have something to do with Li Shui and Wang's bet.

Sure enough, someone stood up first and said, "Yesterday, Huai Guzi and Li Xin, killed General Wang Li. Wang Li, an important official in the court and a general in the army, was actually sentenced to lynching. I asked Your Majesty to govern according to the law.

The sin of Huaiguzi."

Li Shui looked at the man with some confusion and thought to himself: "Anyone with normal IQ can tell. Wang is about to fall down. He stood up at this time and wanted to turn the tide? Or was he impatient to live?

”

Ying Zheng seemed to have guessed this situation a long time ago, without any surprise on his face, just said lightly: "Wang Li lost the bet and lost his life is a foregone conclusion. Huai Guzi is not guilty of murdering someone. I heard that Wang Li

In advance, the dead soldiers were ambushed in Shangjun Villa, which showed that there were many variables at that time. Huai Guzi was in a hurry to follow the power of the matter, and killing Wang Li was not considered guilty."

Li Shui was secretly glad, but fortunately he had reported to Ying Zheng in advance.

However, the court officials were not convinced and continued, "Your Majesty, it is still unclear whether Wang Li lost the bet. Huai Guzi was eager to kill people, and there was a suspicion of being a thief."

"I heard that when harvesting corn, the fire first started to catch, and then Huaiguzi claimed that she had hidden three hundred stones of corn. Such things are extremely strange."

"I even suspect that Huai Guzi is a spy from Chu. The one who destroyed Chu in the past was General Wang Jian. Huai Guzi came to Xianyang thousands of miles away, clearly to harm the Wang family and avenge his homeland."

Li Shui was stunned when he heard this. This guy's brain-replenishing ability is too strong, right? But it's true that the original Huai Guzi was sent by Xiang Liang to take revenge.

Ying Zheng didn't care about the words of this court official at all. He now believed that Li Shui was a banished immortal, so he naturally disagreed with these accusations.

However, the other party is an important official after all, so it is not good to ignore it if it raises an objection.

So Ying Zheng looked at Li Shui and said lightly: "Huai Guzi, what do you have to say?"

Li Shui said: "I want to ask this adult a few questions."

Ying Zheng said: "Yes."

Li Shui turned his head and looked at the court officials who complained and asked, "May I ask, sir, do you have a surname Gao?"

The man said coldly: "I'm getting off the horse and Lingshu."

Li Shui said oh, reached out and took out all the bamboo pieces in his arms, and checked it. It turned out that there was no Ma Lingshu's name on it.

It seems that this person is stubborn and it would be fine if he didn't give gifts yesterday, but he dares to falsely accuse him today.

When dealing with friends, Li Shui has always been as warm as spring. When dealing with enemies, it must be as cold and ruthless as the severe winter.

So Li Shui asked, "Mr. Ma was indignant and seemed to seek justice for Wang Li. I am very curious, what is the relationship between Mr. Ma and Wang?"

Ma Lingshu said proudly: "There are unfair things in the world that require people to speak up for justice. It doesn't matter, can't you stand up?"

Li Shui sneered, turned around and walked to Wu Yue, patted his shoulder intimately, and said, "Brother Wu, what does this relationship between Ma Lingshu and Wang Li?"

Wu Yue was a little helpless and thought to himself: "What are you doing so kindly? I gave you a generous gift yesterday, but I just don't want to be retaliated. Do you really think I want to make friends with you? I, Mr. Wu, are also shameless. You do this, let me

How do you meet people in the future?”

Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Shui comforted him: "Brother Wu, don't be afraid of them. Since you and I are friends, I will guarantee your safety. You boldly say that no one dares to threaten you."

Wu Yue suddenly had a headache. He was afraid that he would not speak anymore, so Huai Guzi would force his life and death friendship with him.

So Wu Yue said in a muffled voice: "Mr. Ma, he was recommended by Wang Jian to become an official in the court. Master Ma was grateful to Wang Jian for his kindness of meeting him. He has always held the etiquette of his late birth and has been walking a lot with Wang."

Huai Guzi nodded: "So that's it. It turns out that Lord Ma is not seeing any disagreement, but has his own selfish intentions and wants to avenge his former master."

Ma Lingshu admitted it very poorly: "Yes, I know you, Huai Guzi, can speak eloquently, and you, Huai Guzi, are cruel and ruthless. But I have an injustice in my heart. Even if I die on the spot, I will seek justice for Wang.

.How different is it to animals to be favored by others and stand by and watch?”

As soon as this statement came out, many of the court officials nodded secretly.

Needless to say, the old party of the Wang family, even the court officials who were not involved in the matter admired Ma Lingshu a little. Knowing the kindness of his encounter, he repayed it with death. Ma Lingshu is a righteous man.

Ma Lingshu naturally saw the court officials' reaction. In fact, this was exactly the result he wanted.

He is not afraid of death. It would be worth it if he could use death today to exchange for eternal fame.

Ma Lingshu even began to imagine that he would become a loyal minister and righteous man like Yu Rang, and would be passed down from generation to generation.

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor should not have killed him. He still stood up and said a few words. He would not kill him, and it was not even considered a crime.

Although Wang suffered a great disaster, he was deeply rooted in the court. As long as the wind passed, he still had some energy. At that time, Wang would be grateful to think of Ma Lingshu in the court today.

So after returning to his favor, Wang would definitely help him and help Ma Lingshu ascend to a high position.

In this way, both fame and fortune will be gained.

Suddenly, Li Shui chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, I suspect that Wang is unjust, and Ma Lingshu is intent to rebel. Please investigate thoroughly."

There was a silence in the Political Consultative Hall, and the court officials looked at Li Shui helplessly: "Come again? It's fine if you frame people. Every time they say that others are going to rebel, do you only understand this crime?"

Ma Lingshu sneered: "Mr. Huai, if you have no evidence, it is a false accusation. If the false accuser is on the side, you must be careful."

Li Shui didn't pay attention to him at all, but said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, I suddenly remembered some allusions. I remembered that the three families divided Jin and the Tian family replaced Qi. In the past, the nobles and officials in the six kingdoms were all raising scholars and raising them.

Disciplemates, cultivate disciples and old friends.”

"Over time, those disciples and relatives only know that there are ministers but not kings. A word of grace for knowing their gratitude can make them forget their loyalty and righteousness to the king."

"So, the ministers and ministers undermined the king, and the king had no choice but to do anything. The ministers and ministers usurped the throne and became independent, and the court was in chaos."

"Today, when I saw Ma Lingshu, I couldn't help but remember the old events in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. For the sake of Wang, this person ignored the facts and falsely accused the court officials. Isn't this the disciple of Wang? Then Wang is just a noble servant who wants to underestimate the monarch.

Is it?"

"Is he Ma Lingshu loyal to the Qin Dynasty or to the Wang family? How many people are there in the court like Ma Lingshu?"

"Your Majesty, Wang is already a big deal. I ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate the Wang clan relatives, relatives, relatives, and old friends. Be sure to uproot them."

Ma Lingshu's face turned pale when he heard this: "This Huai Guzi is so cruel. He actually wants to take this opportunity to kill all Wang family?"

After hearing Li Shui's words, many of the court officials changed their colors.

They suddenly realized that Ma Lingshu did something stupid. In order to fulfill his name as a righteous man, they completely harmed Wang.

Originally, His Majesty might have been a little dissatisfied with Wang, but now, I'm afraid he's just suspicious.

When the group of Wang's old party looked at Ma Lingshu again, their eyes changed, as if they were looking at a black sheep.

Ma Lingshu felt these gazes and his whole body trembled: What? Did I sacrifice my life to seek fame today, but I didn’t get a reputation, but instead wanted to be ruined?

Whatever you are afraid of, a former Wang clan party suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Wang Jian has long retired and returned home to recuperate. Wang Ben and Wang Li have also been resigned from his military post. How can he have the intention of cultivating a scholar?

I suspect that Ma Lingshu and Huai Guzi have a personal relationship, so they deliberately pretend to be Wang's old friend and have a play in the court, so that they can kill innocent people and eliminate dissidents."

Ma Lingshu almost vomited blood, pointed at the man and cursed: "You have a personal relationship with Huai Guzi, how dare you insult me ​​like this?"

Li Shui was a little unhappy and thought to himself: "Is it embarrassing to have a personal relationship with me? You ignorant people, don't you know that there were dozens of court officials who brought gifts and begged to make friends with me last night?"

The old Wang party has decided to cut off his arm. Ma Lingshu is the only wrist that is broken.

In just a few minutes, they had already lost Ma Lingshu's body.

Ying Zheng kept looking at them with a gloomy face. After a long time, he said lightly: "Enough, there is no need to discuss this matter."

The court officials immediately remained silent.

The old Wang family party was not at all grateful, but was panicked.

No need to discuss again? How can such a big thing be ignored?

The emperor's intention is definitely not to turn this matter over and keep it from the past. Instead... this matter has nothing to do with the court officials, and the emperor has to take control of it himself.

It seems that His Majesty really got his mind to uproot the Wang family.

Such big things will not be discussed in the court, and such things must be done in the dark.

The former Wang family party was in panic.

They guessed that Li Shui killed Wang Li, and there would be a huge aftermath, but they never expected that it would be a big reshuffle.

The court officials were a little dazed. They were thinking just now that the hero cut off his arm and pushed Ma Lingshu out. But now it seems that Ma Lingshu cannot satisfy His Majesty.

The Wang family is about to collapse. Should the old Wang family members be dispersed? They are afraid... they are afraid that it will be too late to part with them now.

The old Wang family members were all ulterior motives and absent-minded, and they looked a little dull.

They watched Li Si stand up and listed various evidences, proving that Wang Li set fire to the field that day. Prove that the corn Li Shui took out later was indeed harvested from the field.

Li Si's injustice caused Wang Li's death to be completely decisive.

No one of the former Wang family was indignant anymore. They had only one thought in their minds: "Oh, Lord Li Si, is you just leaving your relationship with Wang family?"

Wang Li's death was determined in this way, and no one mentioned it anymore. The next thing to discuss was Wang Ben's crime.

Wang Ben led his family generals to chase and kill the court officials. This matter can be either big or small. To put it in a big way, it means that he does not accept the bet, despise the emperor's authority, kills the court officials for no reason, and has a rebellious intention. To put it in a small way, it means that he loves his son deeply.

, it was exaggerated for a moment.

The former Wang family party had prepared some remarks to protect Wang Ben's life and even his official position. But now, no one dared to speak.

Fortunately, Hu Hai's cry yesterday still worked. In the end, Ying Zheng decided: "Wang Ben seized the title, was dismissed, and demoted to a commoner."

The old Wang party was too busy to take care of himself, so he naturally had no objection to this result. As for other forces, it would be good to be gloating. Who would be willing to speak for Wang Ben?

So the court debate went very smoothly. Except for the initial moment, Ma Lingshu jumped out and struggled, there was no different voice.

It took only half an hour to finish the court discussion. The officials left the Political Affairs Hall.

Zhao Gao walked at the end, twisting his beard and smiling, thinking: "The Wang family has fallen, the speed is faster than I imagined. Now the Wang family's old party is in panic. If I can protect them, these forces
Chapter completed!
