175. Chapter 175 The Roster of Authenticity
As soon as Li Chen said this, he immediately attracted everyone's discussion, and the ministers speculated about who the person Li Chen mentioned was. Especially the uncle and nephew of the Lu family were very confused. Who was going to be an enemy of his Lu family.
Lu Shang and Lu Wan looked at each other and saw a look of surprise in their respective eyes. Because when they wanted to prove that Lu's family had an affair with Tai Chi Sect, the only ones who could prove that Lu's family had an affair with Tai Chi Sect were the roster and the leader of Tai Chi Sect.
However, the list of Wu Tian’s death is now in their hands, so there is no evidence of death and no worries. Lu Shang and Tai Chi Sect have always been in contact with the sect leader, and even the guardian elders of Tai Chi Sect know very little about the Lu family. Therefore, while the two were uneasy, they both wanted to know who Li Chen was talking about.
"Aiqing Chen, you can come out to meet you all!" Chen Hao sat upright on the dragon and then said to himself.
Chen Aiqing? Who could that be? The ministers were once again confused. However, before everyone could get deeper into doubt, a person walked out of the wing behind Longping. This man was wearing Hanlin official uniform and had a white smile on his face. When everyone saw the person clearly, they wiped their eyes in disbelief. They really couldn't believe the dead, but now they were standing in front of them alive.
"Brother, you are still alive!" Yu Gui was so excited that he choked up. At this moment, he actually forgot that he was in Xuanzheng Hall.
Bai Shiyan, who was at the last, heard Yu Gui's voice and looked at him. When he looked at him, his eyes became wet. He couldn't help but say to himself: "You kid is still alive, still alive..."
The most surprising thing about this is the uncle and nephew of Lu and Li Bao. Unexpectedly, the people who jointly defeated him were standing in front of them at this moment.
"Chen Hao!?" Lu Wan asked in surprise and tentatively. At this moment, he would rather believe that people are similar than believe that the person in front of him is Chen Hao.
That's right, Chen Hao, who came back from Luoyang, appeared in front of the hall. At this moment, he bowed his hands and smiled with a breeze blowing on his face, "Shu Lu, don't be fine!"
Seeing that Chen Hao personally admitted it and was not crazy, the ministers were in an uproar again. They speculated that Chen Hao appeared in Xuanzheng Hall this time, but they didn't know what he intended. After everyone reacted, Lu Shang understood Chen Hao's intention to appear at this time, so he took the initiative to say: "Master, Chen Hao is a thief who has an affair with the Tai Chi Sect. How can he let this person show off his power in the hall? I beg the emperor to take this person to the heavenly prison and ask him to behead him in front of the people of Chang'an after New Year's Day!"
Chen Hao hugged Yu Huai with his arms contemptuously: "The thief shouted to catch the thief!"
"Don't slander me!" Lu Shang heard Chen Hao say four words and immediately scolded him with anger.
"Slander? Mr. Lu is really a noble man who forgets things, but the younger generation remembers it very clearly. Thirty-five years ago, Mr. Lu was thirty-five years ago, and by chance, he got to know his ex-Tai Chi leader Wu Tong. Later, in order to get ahead, he used the power of Wu Tong to make him rise to such a high position..." Chen Hao explained with great interest.
"You!...you are talking nonsense!" Lu Shang looked at Chen Hao in disbelief. He had never thought that Chen Hao would know very much about him. At this moment, he looked at Chen Hao's eyes again, and there was a little more fear.
Chen Hao slowly came to Lu Shang near, and said bluntly in admiration: "Nonsense? Mr. Lu, do you need to count the convenient doors that have been open to the Tai Chi Gate since you have served?"
Lu Wan looked at Chen Hao with a gloomy face and said, "Chen Hao, don't be so quick. You can make a fuss about the prime minister in the court without any evidence. Do you know that this is a serious crime!"
"How did Secretary Lu know that Chen has no evidence?" Chen Hao asked back mockly.
“…”
When Lu Wan saw Chen Hao looking confident, he suddenly felt a little chill. He knew that Chen Hao had always been prepared for his work, which is why the emperor announced that he entered the palace.
"Oh? If there is evidence, please visit the emperor quickly!" Cui Shi, who had not spoken for a long time, saw that the time was ripe, so he added fuel to the fire.
At this moment, Cui Shi finally saw the mystery in the hall. It turned out that the root of this matter was Chen Hao again. He expected that Chen Hao must have mastered the evidence that Lu's collusion with the Tai Chi Sect, otherwise the emperor would not have supported Chen Hao so much. And Chen Hao stood here by coincidence today, Cui Shi still couldn't think of a reasonable explanation for it for a while.
No matter why Chen Hao was crazy and recovered and how he was resurrected, Cui Shi understood that today was the best time to overthrow the Lu family. If the evidence in Chen Hao could prove that the Lu family was related to the Tai Chi Sect, then today would be the day when the Lu family would be doomed.
Chen Hao smiled at Cui Shi kindly, of course he knew Cui Shi’s thoughts at the moment. But Chen didn’t care at all: “What Lord Cui said is reasonable…”
After saying that, he handed over a list to Li Chen, but when Li Chen opened the list, his face turned a lot blue. So much so that when he saw it, he was furious at the end, and he patted the Yushu Case and shouted angrily: "What a Lu Shang, what a Lu family!"
The emperor's thunderous anger made all the ministers rest on the ground, and everyone bowed their heads and no one dared to say anything. Lu Shang's heart began to feel cold when he saw Chen Hao presenting the roster. Because the roster presented by Chen Hao actually looked exactly the same as the half of the roster he was in his hand.
After a long silence, Li Chen said: "Lu Shang, what else do you have to defend yourself now? At this moment, you should know why I have sent the two governors to the Heavenly Prison?"
"The old minister is not sure. The list of priests submitted by the old minister was not forged. Why is it different from the list of thieves? Please check it out!" Lu Shang still retorted with unwillingness.
Chen Hao was happy when he heard this, and then said loudly: "Mr. Lu's intention is that the younger generation forged it? Haha, it's really ridiculous!"
"Then why did you prove that it was not a forgery?" Lu Shang asked back with a harsh expression.
"It's not difficult to prove it. The list presented by Lord Lu to the emperor was just a forged copy by Chen. In order to seek truth, he copied it with a slight smoke of saltpeter sulfur. This seems to make the paper yellowing last for a long time..." Chen Hao talked jokingly about his works.
hiss!
Chen Hao's words surprised everyone. The ministers were surprised why the roster Lu Shang obtained was forged by Chen Hao, and where was the real roster? Could it be that as Chen Hao said that what was submitted today was originally impossible? That question once again lingered in everyone's mind. Since that's the case, how did Chen Hao get the original roster?
Naturally, they didn't know what happened to Chen Hao lurking in the Tai Chi Sect, so it was normal. However, Chen Hao's words made Lu Shang, who was slightly panicked, look even more ashamed. He began to believe Chen Hao's words at this moment. Because when he first came into contact with the roster, something was a little wrong. Because he felt that although the paper in the roster was yellow, it was a few less softer and more crisper.
Just as everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, Chen Haoyou continued: "If you want to distinguish the authenticity, it is simple, just smell the smell of the paper. The fake list of saltpeter sulfur slightly smoked will have a slight yellow smell, and it was originally the fragrance of plants and trees..."
After listening to Chen Hao's story, the ministers agreed and felt that this move was indeed a feasible and good idea. At this moment, Lu Shang sat limply on the hall and grew older in an instant. He knew that what Chen Hao said was not a false statement, but he still didn't know how Chen Hao got the list.
So he looked up at Chen Hao and asked, "How did you do it?"
Seeing Lu Shang's dejected look, Chen Hao couldn't help but shake his head and said, "It's just because Chen is the new guardian of Tai Chi Sect..."
"You are Chang Feng?" Lu Shang seemed to have thought of something.
When Duan Zifa resigned from the position of Tianlei Guardian, he was later appointed as a young man named Chang Feng. However, when Lu Shang heard the news, he still mocked himself for the emperor and the minister. As soon as Wu Tian ascended the position of the master, he began to change into his own team. However, what Lu Shangwan did not expect was that Chang Feng was actually Chen Hao standing in front of him at this moment.
“That’s right!”
Seeing Chen Hao responding so affirmatively, Lu Shang nodded and sighed. He knew that this time he had lost completely. Not to mention the roster now, just because Chen Hao served as the guardian of the Tai Chi Sect, he would know some clues about his Lu family and Tai Chi Sect.
"Besides, there is only one volume of the list, and when Chen forged it, he deliberately divided it into two volumes. Among them, Lord Lu must understand..."
Lu Shang said in a daze: "I intended to get the list, and I deliberately divided it into two volumes, so that I can be glad that the list of Lu's members is not in the second volume. Therefore, I am confident in offering the second volume to the priest, leaving behind the first volume of the Lu family's list to make me feel at ease, and also to all forces in the Lu family..."
Seeing that Lu Shang had lost his former calmness, Li Chen said, "The reason why I did not make Chen Aiqing's affairs public to the world after the collapse of Tai Chi Sect is for today..."
"I think the emperor was worried that when the Lu family was defeated, these two major military governors would have a disaster. At that time, internal and external troubles were overwhelmed by the court. So he waited for two months to rest and could have the ability to deal with the war again, but this was just a bad move;
The emperor waited for two months to treat our Lu family generously, which made him lose his vigilance, and made the governors of the two towns easily come to Beijing to report their duties. Now, capturing the king first, and you can solve this problem without any effort of swords and weapons. This is the best strategy..." Lu Shang seemed to have thought everything, but his words were inexplicably sad.
Everyone listened to the conversation between Chen Hao, Lu Shang and Li Chen, and then they made it clear. They were surprised that while the Lu family colluded with the Tai Chi Sect, they also felt incredible about Chen Hao's identity.
Lu Shang looked at Li Chen with a muddy look and said, "The old minister knew that he should be dead, but he never wanted to harm the people. This is also the reason why the old minister has been tolerant. The old minister has been deeply favored by the emperor of the two dynasties, and he has been forced to act helplessly. One wrong step will lead to mistakes, so he falls deeper and deeper and cannot extricate himself..."
Speaking of this, his turbid eyes suddenly became much brighter, so he turned to look at Chen Hao and said, "The old minister believes that he understands everything, but he never thought that he would fall into the chess game since the beginning..."
When Chen Hao saw Lu Shang looking at him like this, he also saw the ministers looking at him in confusion. So he turned his eyes to Li Chen, and when he saw Li Chen nodding, Chen Hao then told the ministers about his imprisonment and pretending to be crazy.
When Chen Hao entered the capital, he had already expected this disaster, but he did not expect it to be so dangerous. When Chen Hao was forced by both forces and was desperate, even Li Chen at that time had doubts about Chen Hao.
