Chapter 775 Wu Sansi: Li Cunxi is slandering

After a night, Li Cunxi entered the palace early and stood chatting with Xu Xi and his group.

All civil and military officials who needed to attend court arrived one after another before the hour of Chen, and finally gathered together to wait for today's grand court meeting.

The grand court meetings are often the busiest, and things that have not been dealt with in the previous few days will be piled up on this day. Of course, this also includes issues that have not been dealt with in previous grand court meetings.

For the many court officials who were still unaware of what was about to happen, today was destined to be another noisy day.

Soon, the eunuch came in and asked all the officials to write down their names and then presented them to Wu Zetian.

After reading it once, Wu Zetian ordered people to go to the Linde Hall to hold a grand court meeting.

In the Yunsu Palace, Li Cunxi took a last look at Wu Sansi, and then thought of some things that Wu Chengsi had secretly told him just now, and he also had some ideas in his mind.

Soon, all the officials entered the Linde Hall, bowed to Wu Zetian, and then stood still, ready to start a war of words.

Wu Sansi today is different from before. He holds his head high and is in a very good mood.

He sat and watched the officials quarreling with great interest.

Seeing the Imperial Censor Zong Qinke stand up and criticize his followers, he did not show the slightest displeasure.

This abnormal behavior quickly attracted Wu Chengsi's attention. He glanced at Wu Sansi, who showed no fear at all, wondering what was wrong with Wu Sansi.

In the past, Wu Sansi would have been furious and stood up to defend the other party.

But today he did nothing, and even seemed to be enjoying the show.

"It's so strange."

Wu Chengsi glanced at Wu Sansi on his left again, stroked his chin, and felt that something was very wrong with Wu Sansi today.

This abnormality can no longer be concealed. The other party is obviously fearless and completely different from before. It's like two completely opposite people.

"Think twice, what made you change so quickly?"

"I really doubt you, kid. You must be hiding something from me. I have to dig deep to find out!"

Wu Chengsi made up his mind, closed his eyes and began to doze off.

Digging out other people's secrets is not an easy thing, and it also requires the right time. He needs to wait quietly.

After two incense sticks, the officials' voices gradually subsided, as if the quarrel was over. Wu Zetian on the dragon bed put down the fruit in her hand and decided to adjourn the court.

At this moment, Li Cunxi, who had been dozing with his eyes closed, got up from the mat, walked out of the court, and bowed to Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, your servant, Li Cunxi, has a document to present."

During the last small court meeting, Li Cunxi had already handed over the documents regarding the diplomatic mission to Khitan.

It's only been a day, why are you submitting documents to the higher-ups again?

Everyone in the court knew that Prince Qin Li Cunxi would only submit documents to his superiors after a case was over, or when something major happened in the middle of the case.

What happened today? Could it be that another big case happened?

All the officials were confused and began to discuss among themselves. Only Di Renjie and Wu Chengsi knew the inside story and were not surprised.

Secretary Shangguan Wan'er lowered her head as she walked down the imperial steps, took the document, returned the same way and handed it to Wu Zetian.

Wu Zetian took the document in her hand and opened it. Her brows quickly changed from calm to a frown that made people feel uneasy, and her face became extremely ugly.

I still remember the last time the emperor showed this expression was when he learned that the real culprit of the Yangzhou Han Canal boat capsize case was actually Ying Wang Yuanqi.

The time before that was when Crown Prince Li Xian and Prince Li Dan designed to get the children of the Wu family involved.

The time before that was, of course, when the truth of the Bleeding Eagle case was revealed.

Today is the fourth time this expression has appeared. Something big must be about to happen, and it may even involve a prince who is very important to the emperor.

Zhang Jianzhi lowered his head and asked Di Renjie beside him:

"Di Gong, do you know something?"

Di Renjie had kept it a secret until now, so he naturally didn't care about keeping Zhang Jianzhi confused for a while longer.

So he just shook his head.

Zhang Jianzhi was not sure whether Di Renjie meant that he could not say it or that he did not know, so he suppressed his doubts and prepared to see what would happen next.

Soon, Wu Zetian on the dragon bed could no longer suppress the anger in her heart. She slapped the imperial desk, and murderous intent was revealed in her phoenix eyes. A low pressure spread, and the ministers did not even dare to breathe, for fear that they would be implicated.

Among the ministers, the few who looked up at Wu Zetian were only the people from the Censorate and Xu Xi's group.

These people showed no fear at all and stared at Wu Zetian, waiting for her to speak.

"Cunxi, this matter involves a lot of things. I think you should just speak out directly so that everyone can hear it."

Wu Zetian found it hard to believe that Li Cunxi would actually target Wu Sansi directly.

Although the hatred between the two families will end sooner or later, it cannot start so early.

She is still alive.

Li Cunxi bowed and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, during my trip north, I learned about the Khitan's main intentions and also discovered some unknown secrets."

"These secrets concern the safety of our Great Zhou, but they are closely related to certain individuals, so I dare not speak openly. I have carefully considered them over the past few days, and now I present them to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I, Li Cunxi, request that you imprison Prince Wu Sansi of Liang and send the inner guards to interrogate him thoroughly. We will surely be able to uncover the truth!"

Wu Zetian frowned. She wanted Li Cunxi to speak clearly so that they could discuss it together, but Li Cunxi not only refused to say anything, but also told her to put Wu Sansi in prison.

How many people know what he is thinking?

Wu Sansi, who was named by Li Cunxi, broke out in cold sweat and his expression changed rapidly. He even forgot to step out of the court to defend himself.

Wu Chengsi, who was standing by, easily noticed this scene and immediately discovered something was wrong.

According to past practice, if Wu Sansi was impeached, he would definitely take the initiative to refute the other party, and even make false accusations.

But today, not only did he not refute it immediately, he seemed frightened instead, as if he really had done something wrong.

At this moment, after a brief moment of fear, Wu Sansi hurried out of the court and knelt down in front of Wu Zetian.

"Your Majesty, I am innocent! I am innocent!"

"Prince Qin Li Cunxi is framing me. I have absolutely never done anything to harm Your Majesty, and I have never done anything detrimental to the Great Zhou!"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you must be discerning and absolutely not listen to the slanderous words of Li Cunxi, the Prince of Qin, Your Majesty!"

Wu Sansi was really anxious, and sweat was pouring down his face.

His body was shaking like a sieve, and he shuddered when he thought of the situation inside the Inner Guard Palace.

Among all the civil and military officials in the court, anyone who had entered the Inner Guard House was afraid after coming out.

He doesn't want to go in!
