The First National Preceptor of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 883

Li Er immediately ordered his men to arrest the Minister of Justice.

Li Zhi stepped forward.

“Father, the evidence is conclusive. His Highness the Prince is innocent. The culprit is the Tenth Prince. He was the one who started this whole thing.”

Li Er naturally knew that Xu Tian was innocent, but this matter concerned the Tenth Prince, and now all the officials wanted to convict Xu Tian, ​​leaving him helpless.

Now that Li Zhi has found evidence, Li Er also wants to take this opportunity to release Xu Tian, ​​but the officials and civil servants of the court do not agree.

"Your Majesty, no one witnessed this with their own eyes, and no one can prove that His Highness the Prince is innocent."

“He also has many alibis.”

A court official stepped forward and began to present his memorial.

Looking at these scheming officials, Li Er felt utterly helpless.

He didn't know what these people were thinking, or why Xu Tian could offend so many of them.

Is it simply because Xu Tian is currently too favored?

If Xu Tian hadn't been worthy of his trust, he wouldn't have been so favored by him.

However, he never expected that his kindness to Xu Tian would arouse the indignation of the court officials.

And now it has even led to his son framing him.

His eyes were as cold as ice as he looked at Li Shen.

"Do you still think the evidence is insufficient? Then why didn't you say the evidence was insufficient when you arrested Xu Tian? The evidence that the Ninth Prince has presented is enough to prove Xu Tian's innocence."

Li Er looked at his ministers and his sons.

"Even now, do you still believe there is insufficient evidence and want to convict Xu Tian?"

Upon hearing Li Er's words, all of them lowered their heads.

It should be noted that the person speaking was Li Er, and he was clearly speaking on Xu Tian's behalf.

But upon hearing the words "the evidence is conclusive," the court officials dared not speak.

If Li Zhi found this evidence, it would truly prove Xu Tian's innocence, which would mean that Li Shen had wronged Xu Tian.

The one who should truly be punished is Li Shen.

Meanwhile, the ministers who were aligned with Li Shen were even more panicked.

Li Er immediately ordered his men to arrest Li Shen, and then released Xu Tian.

When I finally caught Li Shen, he was completely limp. He never expected that after all he did, he would end up being caught.

After Li Shen's wife learned of this, in order to prove Li Shen's innocence, she arrested the family members of Xu Huaize, the Minister of War, and made them take the blame for Li Shen.

"Princess Consort, you..."

Xu Huaize was forced to kneel on the ground. He looked at the woman in front of him, feeling resentful but helpless.

Regarding what has happened in the imperial court.

They all knew it perfectly well.

Who is right and who is wrong?

Li Shen's wife gave a cold smile.

"If you don't do this, you should know what the consequences will be. You don't care about your own life, but don't you care about the lives of your family?"

Xu Huaize had no choice but to agree in the end.

"Don't worry, as long as you agree to take the blame for the prince and make the emperor believe that the tenth prince was actually wronged and that Xu Tian was the one who started this whole thing."

"Then you and your family will be safe and sound."

Li Shen's wife directly threatened Xu Huaize's family.

She wanted Li Er to punish Xu Tian, ​​so that everyone would believe that Li Zhi had slandered Li Shen.

Xu Huaize also knew perfectly well that the instigator was Li Shen.

He has no way out right now.

If he doesn't do this, he and his family will be in danger.

Li Shen's wife was undoubtedly a ruthless and vicious woman.

If you anger her, she's capable of anything.
