"Princess Ayimu of the Uighurs and the witnesses are here!”Gao Lishi shouted from beside Tang Xuanzong.
Upon hearing that the Uighur princess had arrived, all the officials in the hall turned to look at the door.
Ayi Mu, who was dressed in Uighur attire, walked in unhurriedly from the entrance of the hall with the witnesses and physical evidence collected by Li Yao.
"This princess is really beautiful!" The ministers below looked at Ayimu's appearance and praised her.
Li Linfu also looked at Princess Ayimu. She was staring at him with hatred in her eyes.
"The Uighur princess Ayimu greets the Heavenly Khan.”Ayi Mu followed Li Yao's instructions and greeted.
"Princess Ayimu need not be so polite. Please tell the truth about the Anbei Protector-General in front of all the ministers of the Great Tang.”Tang Xuanzong said.
And so, Aimu recounted everything that Li Linchang had done in the Anbei Protectorate in front of all the ministers and Emperor Xuanzong.
This time, Ayimu did not cry. She glared at Li Linfu, her body trembling as if she was going to kill him in the next moment.
Li Linfu listened to all of this without saying a word.
After all, Ayimu was only a witness. The civil and military officials of the court could not just believe the one-sided story of this Uighur princess.
"How is it? Does Prime Minister have anything to say after hearing this?”Tang Xuanzong said to Li Linfu.
"This old minister feels that Your Majesty should not believe the words of this Uighur princess.”Li Linfu laughed." Who knows if she's really a Uighur princess? Has Your Majesty seen her token?"
"I am the Uighur Princess Ming Yue, Ayi Mu!”Ayimu said angrily.
"Do you have any evidence? Have the officials in the court ever talked about you? Why do they believe that you are the princess of the Uighurs?”Li Linfu didn't even look at Ayimu.
"Prime Minister, do you want evidence?" Li Yao smiled." Prime Minister, do you really suspect that I personally brought the princess back from the Uighur Khan?!”
"I dare not doubt Your Highness, but who knows what the Uighur Khan is thinking? What if he asked you to deliberately bring back a fake Uighur princess to stir up the relationship between the monarch and his subjects in the Great Tang? Those who are not of my race must have different intentions, Your Highness. Our Great Tang has no choice but to guard against it."
Li Linfu smiled at Li Yao.
"Prime Minister, do you want evidence?" As she spoke, Li Yao took out the Uighur seal that Guli Peiluo had given her. On it was Ayi Mu's name.
This was given to Ayimu on behalf of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty when the Anbei Protector-General had personally gone to the Uighurs to participate in the dance ceremony for the tenth year of age.
When Li Yao left, Guli Peiluo was afraid that the young and mischievous Aimu would lose it, so he specially handed it to Li Yao.
This also represented Guli Peiluo's recognition of Li Yao.
"This was given to the Uighur Guli Peiluo Khagan by the Anbei Protector-General, today's Minister of Personnel, Lord Zhang Shijiu.”Li Yao raised the Uighur seal and said.
"Minister Zhang, come out and recognize it. This is what you gave Princess Ayimu on behalf of me back then?”Tang Xuanzong said.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty. This old official did not need to look to know that this princess was the Uighur Princess Ayimu! This old minister had told the princess's true appearance at the princess 'dance ceremony that year. I didn't expect the princess to be like her name, growing into a bright moon of the Uighurs.”
Zhang Shijiu stood up and looked at Ayimu kindly. He clearly remembered that this princess had personally served him milk tea from the grasslands.
"Lord Zhang, I'm Ayimu, I'm Ayimu!”Seeing that Zhang Shijiu was willing to come out and speak up for him, Ayimu couldn't help but cry.
"How is it? Does Prime Minister have any other questions?" Li Yao asked with a smile.
Today, he, Li Yao, was going to give this treacherous official Li Linfu a honey-mouthed sword in his heart.
"Even if she is the Uighur Princess Ayimu, how could the entire court believe her one-sided story? Moreover, it was the Uighurs who invaded our Great Tang's territory first, so what excuse could they not find?”Li Linfu quibbled.
"You!" Ayimu glared angrily." It's clearly…"
She was about to say something when Li Yao raised her hand and interrupted her.
"Prime Minister, you mean that not only do you want Princess Ayimu as a witness at the scene, but you also want physical evidence at the scene, right? Yes!" Li Yao still had a smile on her face." Men, bring those Arabian spies here!"”
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yao's personal guards had escorted a few Arabian-dressed Arabs into the hall.
"Tell me, who are you? What do you want?”Li Yao's expression changed as she snapped at those people.
"We are soldiers of Arabia, sent by our king to the Great Tang to gather information and study. This is our Arab military card." The leader said,
"At the beginning of this year, we received orders from our country to stir up trouble in the Anbei Protectorate. When the Great Tang and the Uighurs fight, Arabia will take the opportunity to attack the Great Tang.
Thus, we found the Anbei Protectorate General Li Linchang and offered him a thousand taels of gold. We had him stir up trouble in the horse market trade with the Uighurs to trigger a war between the Great Tang and the Uighurs.
We gave him the promise of Arabia. As long as he cooperated with us, we would help him become king in the north.”
The man lowered his head and said.
"I didn't expect the Uighurs to move so quickly. We were captured by the Uighurs before we could retreat. Just as the Uighurs were about to execute us, we were saved by His Highness the King of E.
His Highness, King E, said that as long as we come to Chang 'an to testify, he will let us go.”As they spoke, they all turned their eyes to Li Yao.
"Now, you have to show me your evidence.”Li Yao said with a smile.
"This is the letter that Li Linchang wrote to us in Anbei. It was personally written by Li Linchang, and there is also his seal on it.
In addition, this is the account between us and Li Linchang. It records every sum of money we gave Li Linchang.”As he spoke, the Arab leader took out the evidence and presented it to Emperor Xuanzong.
"Ministers, do you see that this Li Linchang not only deceives the monarch and harms the country, but also has the ambition to rebel!”Li Yao shouted in the hall.
"Your Highness King E!" Li Linfu finally couldn't take it anymore. All this evidence could only prove that Li Linchang had accepted bribes and provoked trouble. How could there be a rebellion?!”
"Oh? From the Prime Minister's words, you're admitting that your brother provoked trouble and harmed the country?”Li Yao smiled. She knew that she had already caused Li Linfu to lose his mind.
Just as Li Linfu was done defending Li Linchang, the messenger eunuch of the Great Ming Palace ran into the main hall in a panic.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Emergency report from the Northwest!" the young eunuch said, panting.
"Read!" Tang Xuanzong said.
"The Chanyu Protectorate has received a joint report from the twenty-four provincial governors. The Chanyu Protector-General, Li Linchang, rebelled yesterday.”
Li Linfu was completely dumbfounded by this report.
