Li Er glanced at the ministers and said loudly: "King of Huai'an, Li Shentong, Censor Xiao Yu, Left servant Fang Xuanling, Kaifu Yitong Third Director Sun Wuji, Right servant Li Yaoshi, Minister of Personnel Gao Shilian, Minister of Justice Li Daozong, General Gao Zengsheng, General Zhongwu Li Zaigu left behind!

If the rest of the Qing family has nothing to do, they can go back first!"

"Abide by the order!"

The other ministers bowed and retreated.

"Summon Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, Gao Laochao into the palace!" Li Er said to the eunuch.

The eunuch said "Abide by the order", and immediately ran out, instructing people outside to summon Luge, Li Xiaorui, and Gao Laochao.

Li Er signaled the ministers present to sit down, and then ordered the eunuchs in the hall to serve food and wait while eating with the ministers.

In the hall, the emperor invited him to dinner, and all the ministers were very careful, for fear that they would cause trouble if they accidentally took them.

Being with the king is like a tiger, no one will expect to get what the emperor is thinking.

Sometimes, he smiles at you on the surface, but he may be thinking about you to die in his heart.

However, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and Li Zaigu seemed very calm.

They were Li Er's confidants and said hello to Li Er again. This time they were waiting for Li Shentong, and Gao Zengsheng impeached Li Zaigu.

Li Shentong, Gao Zengsheng and Xiao Yu had a very uncomfortable meal. They all felt that the emperor directly summoned Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, and Gao Laochao to enter the palace to confront Li Zaigu, and obviously did not believe them.

When they were halfway through, the eunuchs outside the hall came in to report that Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, and Gao Laochao had already arrived outside the hall.

Li Er asked them to wait outside the hall first and wait until they finished their meal before making a statement.

Most of the ministers in the hall were old officials, so they naturally understood that Li Er did this to hang Luge, Li Xiaorui, and Gao Laochao to give them a warning.

Lu Pavilion, Li Xiaorui, and Gao Laochao were waiting quietly, not daring to speak nonsense.

As a royal family, Li Xiaorui often meets the emperor and seems very calm.

Gao Laochao once followed his father and met the emperor, but he was still a little nervous. After all, this time the emperor summoned them into the palace to confront Li Zaigu. If he was not careful, he would anger Long Yan.

As for Lu Ge, he was standing upset and seemed very nervous.

This was the first time he was summoned by the Lord, not to mention that he was confronted with Li Zaigu as a witness.

Lu Ge began to be a little scared, especially thinking that he had persuaded Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao to lie to his family together, so he asked Li Zaigu to take revenge.

If the emperor knew that the whole thing was initiated by himself, he might not even be able to protect himself by then.

At the beginning, he only wanted to use the power of Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao's family to deal with Li Zaigu, but what he never expected was that the emperor would directly summon him to confront Li Zaigu.

The more Lu Ge thought about it, the more scared he became, and his feet trembled a few times unconsciously.

"Brother Lu, don't be afraid. The wise man will not make things difficult for me." Li Xiaorui realized that Lu Ge was afraid and whispered, "As long as I wait and insist that the whole thing was initiated by Li Zaigu first, I can bring it down."

Lu Ge nodded slightly, took a deep breath, and tried his best to keep himself calm.

They waited outside the hall for about a moment and were summoned into the hall.

After the ceremony of meeting the king and his ministers, Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, and Gao Lao stood cautiously.

Lu Pavilion entered the Tai Chi Hall for the first time, and he didn't dare to show his grand moment.

Li Er ordered Gao Shilian to take charge of the record and record the next thing.

Then, Li Er glanced at Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, Gao Laochao, and said with a serious expression: "Do you three know the reason why I summoned you three to the palace?"

Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, Gao Laochao immediately bowed and replied that he didn't know.

In fact, before being summoned, they had learned from some ministers who had friendship with Li Shentong that the emperor was going to summon them to the palace to confront Li Zaigu.

However, they cannot tell the Lord that they already knew the reason for being summoned, and that if no one would help them in the future, even their families would be willing to help.

Everyone understands such rules.

Unless it's a fool.

Li Er said "yes" and said lightly: "I heard that General Zhongwu instructed his subordinates to beat you three people. Is it true?"

Li Shentong, Gao Zengsheng and Xiao Yu saw the emperor interrogating Lu Ge personally, and Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao felt it was a bit unreasonable.

This kind of interrogation work can be handed over directly to the Minister of Personnel or the Minister of Justice.

"Report to Your Majesty, it's true!" Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao bowed at the same time.

"Why did General Zhongwu instruct his subordinates to beat you three for no reason?" Li Er asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the reason was that General Zhongwu's concubine knocked down Mr. Lu's jade bracelet, causing the jade bracelet to be damaged. Lu Ge asked General Zhongwu's concubine to compensate him, but when General Zhong Wu found out, he not only did not compensate, but instead quarreled with Lu Ge, and in the end he was even more arrogant and instructed his subordinates to beat Lu Ge and his servants." The person who answered Li Er was Li Xiaorui.

Li Xiaorui seemed calm and would not blink when he lies.

"Why do you know so clearly? What did you see with your own eyes?" Li Er stared at Li Xiaorui and questioned.

"Report to Your Majesty, it was Lu Pavilion and his subordinates who told me!" Li Xiaorui said without thinking.

Li Er changed his sitting position and then said to Lu Ge: "Lu Ge, is what Xiaorui said true?"

"Reply... report to Your Majesty, everything Chen Jun Gong said is true!" Lu Ge said nervously.

Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao have already agreed that as long as they insisted that it was the incident initiated by Li Zaigu, Li Zaigu would not do anything to them.

What's more, everyone who does things in the silver building has already bribed it. As for Li Xiaorui's entourage, naturally, he did not dare to speak nonsense and would only obey Li Xiaorui.

Li Er said "yes" expressionlessly, and his eyes turned back to Li Xiaorui: "Xiaorui, why are you and Gao Laochao beaten in the street by General Zhongwu's subordinates?"

"Report to Your Majesty, it was because my brother and Gao Laochao happened to meet General Zhongwu's subordinates who beat someone, so he led people to stop General Zhongwu and his subordinates, wanting to ask for an explanation, but General Zhongwu ordered his subordinates to beat Brother Chen and Gao Laochao and his subordinates." Li Xiaorui said.

"What about you? Can you prove that what Xiaorui said is true?" Li Er turned to Gao Laochao.

"Report to Your Majesty, the common people can prove that everything that the ministers of the county are true!" Gao Laochao answered quickly.

"good!"

Li Er straightened his body, looked at Li Zaigu, and said calmly: "General Li, after hearing what Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, and Gao Laochao said, what do you have to say?"

Li Zaigu stood up, bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui, Gao Laochao is distorted and deceiving the king and the emperor. The whole thing is not what the three of them said."

"Oh?" Li Er showed a questioning look, "Then tell me, what's the whole thing?"

Li Zaigu had just told the story, but Li Er deliberately cooperated with him and acted for Lu Ge, Li Xiaorui and Gao Laochao.

Li Zaigu told Li Er and the ministers present again that day what happened.
