Chapter 510 (1/2)

As Peiyan's voice disappears, Wu Mei can't help sighing in her heart. Pei Yan is really brilliant and confused for a time. At this moment, it's time to restrain herself and sit and watch the court officials argue. Why should she stand up and speak before she sees the situation clearly?

Does he really think that with the words of his Zhongshu order, other officials in the court can follow him and impeach the prince together?

As soon as Zhongshu ordered to speak, two courtiers, including Fang Xianzhong, who had argued with each other, looked at him involuntarily. Only Li Hong slowly went to his chair and sat down.

”Your Majesty, I think that the great responsibility for the shortage of silver in the Ministry of work under the charge of Fang Shangshu lies in the fact that his royal highness appropriates the silver of the Ministry of work privately, so that the former silver is misappropriated by Fang Shangshu. What's more, as far as I know, Fang Shangshu's Ministry of work is in deficit now. It's not that Fang Shangshu has been greedy for money, but he has used it for other purposes. For Fang Shangshu's honesty, he has always been well-known in the court, and I have always admired him. ” Pei Yan took a look at his face and expression. Sitting on the chair, he happened to look at his Li Hong. He said with righteous words.

Di Renjie's eyes turned and said in surprise, ”Oh? Well, I'd like to ask Mr. Pei to return the house secretary. Where have the other silver dual-purpose departments of the Ministry of work come to? ”

Hearing Di Renjie's question, Peiyan felt as if he had found a confidant, because if no one asked, he could not continue to say that. The reason why he said this meal and looked at the chaotang people was that he hoped to attract everyone's thoughts to this point.

Peiyan gave Di Renjie a knowing smile, and said in a loud voice: ”since Lord Di asked me, I should tell the truth. But first of all, I'm not excusing Fang Shangshu, so I impeached his highness. There are solid evidences for all this. As a minister of the Tang Dynasty, I was deeply favored by the emperor and his majesty. I always took the stability of our country as my duty. Therefore, I always thought that no matter who was in charge of breaking the law of the Tang Dynasty, even the prince's highness should be punished as ”the prince committed the same crime as the common people.”

”That's good to say, but if you can't prove it, Mr. Pei? What if you framed and wronged the prince? Is the reputation of your highness something that I and other officials can slander at will? ” Zhang Cambodian looks at Peiyan and hums.

”What Zhang Shangshu said is very true. Neither I nor other colleagues in the palace have the right to say yes. But what if it is a colleague of the imperial historian who impeached his highness and found relevant evidence? Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, it has always been the duty of the former Emperor to treat the imperial censor with courtesy. It has always been the duty of the imperial censor to supervise the imperial court. The prince's highness, as the Secretary of state, is naturally under the supervision of the imperial censor. ” Pei Yan looked at Zhang Cambodian. At a young age, he took the place of Dai Zhide and became the Secretary of the Ministry of rites. All these years, Pei Yan did not pay much attention to himself.

”Pei Yan, let the imperial historian present the evidence in his hand to the orphan father and empress mother for a look.” Li Hong looked relaxed and lowered his head.

In Li Hong's opinion, it's no wonder that the people who Pei Yan can use in Yushitai are Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou, one of them is the imperial historian, the other is the former imperial historian.

In history, Peiyan, Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhi, three of them, framed Li Xian's rebellion and went to the east palace to investigate Li Xian's mastermind at that time. They found hundreds of armor from the East Palace, so Li Xian was abolished as a commoner.

As Li Hong expected, it was not surprising that Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou came out of the group of ministers. They saluted Li Zhi and Wu Mei, and then said that the prince's Royal Highness should not be secretly investigated for the embezzlement of silver. However, it was related to the stability of the Tang Dynasty and the laws and regulations of the court.

The investigation and confession made by the two people, of course, would not be shown to Li Hong, but presented to Li Zhi and Wu Mei. They flipped through the thick fold at will, and they could not help laughing.

It did record some things about Quanzhou shipyard, but they didn't understand the issue of silver. Li Chunfeng and the other ten students had no idea. They had no choice but to copy a copy of the account book and bring it back.

”What do you want to account for in the account you transcribed?” Li Zhi asked, closing the fold with a smile.

Wu Mei stopped reading these things for a long time. Any student in Chongwen museum can see these things clearly. However, for Xue Yuanchao and Gao Zhizhou, it seems strange and mysterious.

”I ask your majesty to order the account book to be checked by the Ministry of household, not by the prince's highness.” Peiyan said forward.

”Do you believe in the Department? Can you trust the person appointed by the Department of household management? ” Lizhi asked with great interest.

”Back to your highness, to tell you the truth, since the prince's highness took charge of the six ministries, the Ministry of Hu and the Ministry of rites have all been promoted by his highness. I am afraid of them...”
