Erguan Li did not care that his dragon robe was stained by tea. He widened his eyes and glared at Li Zhen.
It was fine if you had written the evidence of the scholars 'crimes, but you had also prepared the evidence of the Duke's crimes?!
And it wasn't just the Duke's.
You even have evidence of the wives of nine dukes? You also have evidence of the State Duke's servant on you?
Are you playing a desperate game?
"You're even more thoughtful than me!"
"Servant, you're also participating?"
"Ah?"
"Are you crazy?"
Li Er couldn't help but stand up and said angrily,"
"Do you really think that the plan to end the household will be done once and for all? Isn't that right?"
"Have you ever thought about it? If you say you want to participate, then why are you participating in them? Are you going to randomly make up a crime and give it to them?”
"Let me tell you, this won't do. This is a heinous crime of deceiving the emperor!”
Li Er snorted. Although he said so, he still let Peng Yu present the ten memorials in Li Zhen's hands to the imperial table. As he looked down, he muttered,
"Besides,"
"Don't shoot at random."
"Is the High Duke someone you can join just because you want to?”
That's right! Is the State Duke someone who can participate? If you participate, can you defeat them?
Peng Yu lowered his head and looked sympathetically at Li Zhen. He sighed inwardly. How could you take things so hard at such a young age? You must be crazy. Did you really think that the Emperor would issue an edict to punish the nine dukes? Impossible!
Bang!
A loud bang suddenly sounded on the table.
Peng Yu was shocked.
"They're rebelling, they're really rebelling!"
Li Er's face was ashen as he shouted angrily. He did not even look at Peng Yu's confused gaze and flipped open another memorial. After a few glances, he angrily threw the memorial onto the imperial table and said angrily,
"None of the nine High Dukes have not committed crimes!”
"The evidence is conclusive and cannot be slandered!”
"Look at this!" Li Er picked up another memorial and read it word by word,"
"Cheng Yaojin borrowed six thousand strings of money from the Ministry of Revenue to expand the mansion. I can tear down his mansion and rebuild it three times without spending so much money! Where was the money? It's been a few months and he's still not returning it. Does he not plan to return it?!”
"And Fang Xuanling, hiding concubines outside? That concubine used his name to borrow a few hundred strings of money? Was he crazy? Aren't you afraid of embarrassing yourself if word gets out?"
"How did Du Ruhui manage his servants? The servant went to buy medicine for him, but the servant didn't pay for it and even put it on his tab. Isn't this infuriating the people?!"
The more Li Er spoke, the angrier he became. His hands were trembling with anger as he said,
"Look at this article. Li Jing is driving up prices! He likes to eat the chives stuffed buns in a bun shop in Xi City. Just tell that shop that you like it and ask them to prepare an extra serving for you!”
" He didn't. He, Li Jing, had people spread the rumor that this bun was loved by all the other dukes of Chang 'an except Duke Wei's mansion. Whoever bought this chives stuffed bun and let the other dukes not buy it would be punished!"”
"The citizens of Chang 'an don't dare to buy it, and the steamed bun shop doesn't dare to not sell it. They're all afraid of offending the Duke!”
"Then, he sent servants to lie that the stewards of the other high dukes 'estates were buying them. He even took the lowest price, but the blame was all on the other high dukes, causing those high dukes to be scolded by the commoners behind their backs every day.”
"The Ferghana horse that Zhen bestowed to Qin Qiong's family caused a seventh rank official's female horse to become pregnant?”
Li Er was stunned when he read the charges and glanced at Li Zhen.
Li Zhen patiently explained,
"Because of this matter, that official gave the horse to Yi Country Duke, and then Yi Country Duke accepted it. This is the crime of bribery. Your Majesty, you can go to the market and ask around.”
Li Er's face darkened. The more he looked, the angrier he became. Suddenly, he shouted,
"Peng Yu, draft the decree!"
"reprimand these nine dukes!”
"Order Duke Lu Cheng to immediately return six thousand strings of money to the Ministry of Revenue.”
"Send two guards to Duke Lai Du Ruhui's residence and beat that servant to death!”
"Order Qin Qiong to immediately return the other's female horse. That official will also record it for me and hand it over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation!”
"And that Li Jing…"
When Li Jing was mentioned, Li Er was so angry that his head hurt. He rubbed his forehead and gritted his teeth.
"Go and tell Duke Wei to stop using such underhanded methods in the future. Let him know what his status is. As an invincible general of the Great Tang, how can he be stingy with a few coins of steamed buns? Isn't it embarrassing!"
"You go there yourself!"
"Scold them properly!"
Peng Yu laughed bitterly.
She really wanted to not go.
If he skinned her, she would be skinned alive!
Scold them? A rabbit will bite when it is anxious. If the state dukes are anxious, can they still return to the palace?
It was all Li Zhen's fault!
He didn't even provoke you.
Right?
Why the hell did you join them?!
