"No need to be polite!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
" Ten thousand people kowtowing to the palace gate," Li Er said coldly." This is something that has never happened since the founding of the Tang Empire. Are you all trying to rebel?"
"I don't dare!"
Even though the surroundings were filled with Golden Guards, Dou Gui, Duke of Hun, had no respect for Li Er and chose to fight him head-on!
He puffed out his chest and pointed at Duan Lun who was lying on the bed beside him."Yesterday, King Qi Li You suddenly led his guards into the Ministry of Works and injured many officials, including the Minister of Works, Duan Lun. Your Majesty, please uphold justice!”
The assistant minister of the Yellow Clan, Cui Mingan, also said in a clear voice,"If the Minister of Works can be wantonly tortured, then who else can guarantee his safety? What use were the laws of the Great Tang? Your Majesty, please punish King Qi, Li You, so as to appease the people and uphold the dignity of the Great Tang's laws!”
"Your Majesty, please punish King Qi Li You. This will calm the hearts of the people and protect the dignity of the Great Tang's laws!”
As soon as Cui Mingan finished speaking, nearly 10,000 people present knelt down again!
He died without illness after being criticized by thousands of people.
Let alone ten thousand people?
One had to know that these people did not only represent themselves!
These people had a very strong influence on the people in the city and even the garrison in the city. If he didn't handle it well, there might be a huge change. Putting everything else aside, there was still the Retired Emperor in the Great Peace Palace.!
They bowed respectfully on the surface, but in reality…they were forcing him to abdicate!
"What do you think, Little You?" Li Er looked at Li You.”
Li You's face didn't show any panic or fear. He smiled and said,"Looks like the leaders of these people are Cui Min Gan and Dou Gui. Your son has a few questions that I would like to ask them.”
"Correct."
"Thank you, Imperial Father."
Li You pulled himself together and looked at Dou Gui and Cui Mingan outside the Xuanwu Gate. He said loudly,"May I ask, Duke of Xun, you keep saying that I broke the legs of the Minister of Works, Duan Lun, and want to punish the king for his crimes? Then, may I ask what crime I should be punished for?”
Dou Gui snorted." King Qi led his troops to attack the Ministry of Works 'yamen without asking for an edict and injured the Minister of Works. This is tantamount to treason and should be executed according to the law!"”
"Oh? Should he be beheaded? Is it that serious?"
"Of course. The Ministry of Works is an important place for the court. How can we barge in without permission? Not to mention, King Qi, you even sent your soldiers to commit murder. Unless His Majesty shows mercy and gives you a lighter sentence…"
"Don't, don't, don't!" Li You interrupted impatiently. Let's not talk about mercy. This king will accept whatever crime he deserves. But…"
As he spoke, Li You looked at Cui Mingan and said,""Assistant Minister Cui is a disciple of the Five Families and Seven Wangs, so you must be very familiar with the laws of the Great Tang, right?”
"Yes, you can say that."
"Then this king would like to ask you something…I heard that according to the laws of our Great Tang, is it true that a false accusation is a crime committed against the person?”
"Indeed. However, what did this have to do with what happened today? You led your troops to attack the Ministry of Works 'yamen, and all the officials of the Ministry of Works saw it. It can't be that we falsely accused you, right?”
"That's not a false accusation. "However…" Li You smiled slightly and said,"I don't know."You said that I broke the legs of the Minister of Works, Duan Lun, and that it was Wan Wanquan's false accusation! There was no such thing! Su! So…"
Pausing for a moment, he said in an unprecedented voice,""Minister of Works Duan Lun, Duke of Wei Dou Gui, and Huang Family Assistant Minister Cui Mingan falsely accused me of rebellion. According to the law…they should be executed!”
The plot was revealed!
This was Li You's true killing move.
Why?
You, Duan Lun, are a loan shark and have caused the destruction of many families. Not only did you break Yang Siqi's legs, but you also burned down the Caiming Workshop.
This king only broke two legs, and all these things are considered over?
Dream on!
This king breaking your legs back then was just the beginning. My real goal was to take your life! Not only do I want your life, but the lives of your accomplices as well!
As for your leg injury…Haha, isn't it a small matter to me who has the Muscle and Bone Connecting Ring?
Cui Mingan didn't know that Li You had such an unscientific thing as the Tendon and Bone Connecting Ring.
When he heard this, he was almost out of breath. He said,"You were the one who sent someone to break Minister Duan's legs. How can this be fake? King Qi, even if you want to quibble, can't you find a better excuse?”
"Nonsense!" Duan Lun shouted. King Qi, if you truly believe that you have a clear conscience, then let's confront each other on the spot!”
"Confrontation? There's no need to go through so much trouble." "Isn't it obvious whether your leg is broken or not?" Li You smiled. It was obvious at a glance. In other words…"
Li You said to the people below the gate,""Duan Lun, Dou Gui, Cui Mingan, do you dare to have your legs examined in front of everyone?”
