Chapter 196 Yu Chihuan Stands Up to Help Li Eryuan Lie

"Changsun Wuji, I didn't expect you to turn right and wrong in order to please His Majesty. I am ashamed to be with you!"

Wei Zheng was very angry, because Changsun Wuji must have known that Li Erwei's private visit to Yuchi's house last night, but Changsun Wuji denied this in court today, and he must have wanted to help Li Er escape.

Li Er stared at Changsun Wuji appreciatively.

"Elder Sun Aiqing still understands my thoughts. I read the booklet last night, so I don't have time to go out to the palace for a private visit!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this humble minister is just seeking truth from facts!"

When Yu Chihuan saw Changsun Wuji's expression of trying to please Li Er, he immediately looked down upon him with contempt.

However, Wei Zheng's impeachment of Li Er is not in Yuchihuan's interest, so Yuchihuan will definitely not help Wei Zheng today.

Wei Zheng then pointed at Fang Xuanling and said, "Fang Xuanling, you won't help His Majesty cover up the fact that you visited Yuchi's house privately last night, right?"

Fang Xuanling stood up and cupped his hands at Li Er.

"Your Majesty, I also went to bed very early last night, and I don't know anything about what's going on outside Suzaku Avenue!"

Li Er nodded in satisfaction and said, "Fang Xuanling, step back!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Fang Xuanling received Li Er's admiring gaze, and immediately returned to the queue happily.

Then Wei Zheng became angry and pointed at Li Jing, Changsun Shunde, Duan Zhixuan and other princely relatives, asking them if they saw Li Erweifu's private visit last night, but they all denied it.

The relatives of the princes and states living in Zhuque Street in Chang'an City were basically questioned by Wei Zheng.

Yu Chigong was on duty last night, so he didn't need to go to the morning court today, but he avoided disaster.

But Yuchi Gong's son Yuchi Huan is here!
So Wei Zheng finally locked his eyes on Yuchihuan, with an expression of asking Yuchihuan to be frank and lenient!
Wei Zheng suddenly laughed.

"Haha... I didn't expect that Duke Yanyan and Chu would pretend to be deaf and dumb in order to conceal His Majesty's private visit to the Duke of E's mansion, so I invited Yu Chihuan, the doctor of history, to come out and testify for this old man!"

He ran to Yuchihuan and pulled Yuchihuan out forcefully.

Yu Chihuan really wanted to beat Wei Zheng up, but when he saw Wei Zheng's gray-haired appearance, his hands softened immediately.

And Yu Chihuan was indeed blackmailed by Li Er last night for a bucket of potatoes, a bucket of sweet potatoes, a bowl of snowflake beef, and five flashlights, causing heavy losses.

Wei Zheng's impeachment of the Great Tang Emperor Li Er in the court today is actually tantamount to appealing for Wei Chihuan's grievances.

Yu Chihuan didn't think he was a good person, but he wasn't a bad person either. He didn't bother to do things like revenge.

Seeing that Yu Chihuan didn't resist, Wei Zheng immediately grinned.

"Your Majesty, the old man invited Yuchihuan to testify!"

All civil and military officials immediately focused on Yuchihuan, all of them looked like they were looking at a monkey.

Cheng Yaojin also deliberately encouraged Yuchihuan to beat Wei Zheng, he was not afraid of big things.

Seeing Wei Zheng pulling Yuchi Huan out, Li Er opened his eyes wide and said.

"Xiao Yuchi Aiqing, tell me, did I go to your house to grab something last night?"

Yu Chihuan cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Wei Zheng must have misread last night. I have slept well at home, and I have not seen Your Majesty visiting my house in Weifu privately!"

The prince secretly gave Yuchihuan a thumbs up, a child can be taught!

Li Er was delighted in his heart, and squinted his eyes at Wei Zheng.

"Wei Aiqing, you see that Yu Chihuan has denied this, what other evidence do you have?"

When Wei Zheng heard that the victim, Yuchihuan, was so cowardly, he immediately died down. He glared at Yuchihuan with hatred, shook his head and sighed in disappointment!

"Yuchihuan, the old man saw you impeaching His Majesty a while ago, and thought you were a gentleman with integrity and advice. Unexpectedly, you, like Changsun Wuji, are all sycophants!"

Yu Chihuan was speechless to Wei Zheng's words. His previous impeachment of Li Er was purely a system task and had nothing to do with honest advice.

But the system task must not be said!

Yuchihuan coughed.

"Lord Wei, even if His Majesty admits to visiting my house privately last night, so what?"

Wei Zheng replied: "It's fine for Your Majesty to visit a courtier's house privately, but what's the point of stealing things like a bandit?"

Li Er was described as useless by Wei Zheng, and he suddenly became angry from embarrassment.

"Wei Zheng, are you still finished?"

Wei Zheng looked straight at Li Er without fear.

"Your Majesty, I hope that you will follow the rules in the future and don't do anything ridiculous, otherwise it will damage your Majesty's majesty!"

When Li Er heard what Wei Zheng said, his heart softened all of a sudden, he nodded and said.

"Wei Aiqing, I promise that I will not do anything outrageous in the future, you should step back!"

When Wei Zheng saw a good deal, he accepted it: "My minister obeys the order!"

In the end, he still didn't break his face with Li Er, and walked up to Yu Chihuan and whispered.

"Yuchihuan, you can't be perfect without rules. This old man hopes that His Majesty can be a wise ruler who follows the rules, instead of a foolish ruler who acts recklessly!"

Seeing Wei Zheng's upright and dignified appearance, Yu Chihuan couldn't say some words that he wanted to scold him, so he nodded his head as a response to Wei Zheng.

Li Er went on to say: "Today the Turkic Prince Ashnatur returns to the Turkic Mobei Grassland, and the Honglu Temple of the Ministry of Rites should also send someone to see him off!"

Tang Jian, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out immediately.

"Your Majesty, I have already dispatched the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple to take charge of this matter today!"

Li Er nodded in satisfaction.

"Turk is my brother's state in Tang Dynasty, so there must be no loss of etiquette!"

Tang Jian cupped his hands and said, "I understand!"

Next, Li Er continued to discuss state affairs and people's livelihood with civil and military officials.

Yuchihuan felt much more relaxed all of a sudden, because he basically didn't get involved in these major national affairs.

An hour later, Li Er announced his resignation, and all civil and military officials filed out, leaving the Xuanzheng Palace!
When Li Er left the Xuanzheng Hall, he glanced at Yuchihuan with a smile, and appreciated Yuchihuan's opposition to the marriage between Tang and Turks today.

In addition, when Wei Zheng impeached Li Er, Yu Chihuan also maintained Li Er's majesty, and Li Er was very satisfied with this.

In Li Er's mind, Yu Chihuan's image suddenly grew taller, and he could be compared with old foxes like the cunning Changsun Wuji.

Li Er doesn't like officials who are mediocre or rigid in thinking. On the contrary, he likes officials who are capable and know how to deal with the world. It is much more comfortable to get along with such officials.

The main reason is that these officials do not seek to usurp the throne, and Li Er basically does not pursue their private moral issues.

The reason why Wei Zheng was reused by Li Er was because Wei Zheng was loyal to Datang and had outstanding abilities. The impeachment of Li Er was also for Li Er's good, so Li Er generally would not punish Wei Zheng.

Yu Chihuan didn't return to Yushitai slowly until all the civil and military officials had left the Xuanzheng Hall.

"Young Master Yuchi, please stay!"

When Wei Zheng saw Yu Chihuan coming out, he immediately stepped forward to strike up a conversation.
