Everyone gasped. poison!
It's actually poison!
This Cui Ju, he is so brave!
He wanted to murder the emperor and then support Li Yuanyu to ascend to power?
He is really ambitious and deserves death!
Wei Zheng was furious,"Your Majesty, Cui Ju, a rebellious minister and traitor, dared to murder the emperor. According to law, nine clans should be punished!"
Fang Xuanling also stood up,"Your Majesty, although Cui Ju is not the head of the family of the fifth surname and Qiwang, his actions have endangered the family. His Majesty's life is on the line, he must be killed!"
Du Ruhui was particularly angry,"Your Majesty, the Boling Cui family has too much influence and it is not appropriate to involve too much, but Cui Ju is a thief. If he is not killed, the people will not be angry!"
"Please give Cui Ju the punishment of Lingchi!
The ministers below also echoed:"My ministers, please give Cui Ju Lingchi the punishment!""
Li Chengdao was silent when he heard this.
He sat on the dragon chair and did not move for a long time, as if he was thinking about something.
When Wei Zheng saw this, he thought Li Chengdao was afraid of the power of the Boling Cui family.
He quickly reminded:"Your Majesty, Cui Ju is so impudent, he must be killed as a warning to others!"
"Otherwise, all the noble families in the world will think that Your Majesty is weak and can be bullied, and some people will even imitate Cui Ju!"
"Your Majesty cannot be merciful!
Fang Xuanling also advised:"Your Majesty, no matter how arrogant the Bolingcui family is, they cannot protect the traitors who want to kill the king!""
"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this. As long as the news gets out, other aristocratic families will not help them! All the civil and military officials agreed again:"
Please give Cui Ju Lingchi the punishment!""
For a time, the ministers were furious and wanted to kill Cui Ju.
But Li Chengdao frowned and said,"How can I not know what the ministers are thinking?"
"It's just that the poison was found in Concubine Cui's room. No one can prove that this was given to her by Cui Ju."
"We just have suspicions, but there is no evidence, so we have no name!"
Everyone was startled, but this is a problem.
It has been a few days now. Has Cui Ju been caught giving poison to Princess Cui? Even if they confront him, he will definitely deny it. Besides, Cui Ju will definitely deny it.
He is still the head of the Bolingcui family. If there is no real evidence, he cannot kill people at will.
Otherwise, the five surnames and Qiwang will definitely unite and seek an explanation from Your Majesty.
Then there may be another civil strife.
Now that the Turks are moving south, the enemy is at hand. , if civil strife breaks out again, the consequences will be disastrous!
Wei Zheng was very angry,"Are we going to let him get away with it like this?"
"This kind of poison does not exist in the palace, it can only be brought in from outside, but he is the only outsider who has seen Mrs. Cui, who else could she be! Li
Chengdao said with relief:"But this is not certain yet. What if it is just a coincidence?""
"It's better to call the person over and confront him then. Don't let his innocence be soiled!"
When Wei Zheng and others heard this, they had no choice but to give up and returned to their original positions with an ugly expression.
Li Chengdao looked at the chief eunuch."Pass an order to Cui Ju to enter the palace. Tell him that I have something to do with him!""
"yes!"........
Cui Mansion.
Cui Ju had just discussed the countermeasures with Cui Hai and was about to take a rest.
But he heard a report from his servants, saying that someone from the palace had come and summoned him to the palace to meet the saint.
Cui Hai was shocked at once,"Did Mrs. Cui make a mistake?"
"impossible! Absolutely impossible! Cui
Ju shook his head,"If Cui Taifei is arrested, then the person who comes now is not the palace official who delivers the order, but the servant of Dali Temple!""
"But don’t worry, he has no real evidence for this matter. As the head of the Cui family, he can’t kill me!
Cui Hai was confused now,"Then why is he coming to you this early in the morning before dawn?""
Cui Ju doesn't know, but he expects nothing will happen.
"I'll go and take a look first. No matter what happens, at least I won't die!"
"But just to be on the safe side, if I haven’t come back by noon, you can go find the manager of the Cui family in Qinghe."
"Let him act according to your plan, and be sure to pass on the news within today!
Cui Hai nodded,"I understand!""..........
Soon after.
Cui Ju followed the guide to the Tai Chi Hall.
At this time, the hall was already full of people. When they saw Cui Ju coming in, they all looked at him angrily, which made Cui Ju a little scared.
He even wondered for a time whether Li Chengdao knew something, otherwise why would these people look at him like this?
But it didn't matter. Cui Ju tried his best to behave as usual and firmly believed that they had no evidence!
In front of the main hall, Cui Ju bowed and saluted.
"Cui Ju, a humble minister, has met His Majesty! Li Chengdao raised his hand gently and said,"
Master Cui, there is no need to be polite, just stand up!""
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cui Ju stood up and looked at Li Chengdao in confusion.
"I wonder what the purpose of Your Majesty's summoning of ministers to the palace is?"
Seeing Cui Ju take the initiative, Li Chengdao wanted to laugh.
This old guy has so many dramas!
In fact, he had made two plans before. One was to wait for Cui Ju to leave the city and order someone to pretend to be a bandit and capture him..
Then tortured him to force him to confess what he knew.
Especially the secrets they used to coerce other families, Li Chengdao was very curious.
If he would rather die than surrender, that would be the second option.
Knock out his teeth one by one. Knock it off, cut off his fingers one by one, package them all and send them to the Bolingcui family.
Extort a large sum of money from them, then peel off his skin and send him to see his wife..
Anyway, all the Snow Dragon Riders are martial arts masters, and they can escape unscathed after completing the mission!
In fact, Li Chengdao would rather use the second option.
After all, Cui Ju has murderous intentions towards him, how can he kill him? Is he alive and well?
But I didn't expect the Turks to come so quickly. It seems that without the barrier, they are very eager to go south.
Li Chengdao doesn't care, his original intention will not change anyway.
Cui Ju will not live for a while longer. It's unacceptable, but it must be squeezed out some interest.
Li Chengdao looked at Cui Ju and smiled slightly, as if he was talking normally
"A few days ago, the head of the Cui family went into the palace to meet with Concubine Cui. I wonder what you talked about? Can you tell me about it? Cui
Ju's thoughts were racing. It seemed that the little emperor did already know about that matter.
But so what if he knew it, there was nothing he could do about it anyway.
Cui Ju said calmly:"It's just some trivial matters between parents, nothing special. I won't pollute His Majesty's ears by saying it.
Li Chengdao said softly,"Is it just a trivial matter between the parents?""
"Then why did Concubine Cui commit suicide by throwing herself into a well shortly after your conversation ended? Can you explain to me?"
"What!"..........
