Lai Junchen was so scared that his whole body shivered. The king said this sentence from the emperor, and the meaning was different. When his legs were weak, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed, "I have no intention of deceiving the king. Please tell me clearly."

"Dare you say you don't have the will to deceive the king?"

Wu Zetian sneered and put Li Guangshun's Xingtang Association gold medal in front of him, "Open your eyes and take a look, and dare to fool me with a fake gold medal."

Lai Junchen was so shocked that his legs were trembling and he picked up the gold medal with his trembling hands. He checked it carefully, but he did not find anything unusual. It was no different from Li Yuanjia's gold medal. He was in a mess, but he didn't know what to do.

Wu Zetian snorted, "Look at the date below."

Lai Junchen then noticed that there was a line of date engraved in the lower left corner, "Chuigong for the fourth year, May," which means that this gold medal was made seven years ago. Lai Junchen also saw this line at that time, but it was engraved very small, and Lai Junchen did not take it to heart when he got the gold medal.

At this time, Lai Junchen suddenly remembered something and turned to look at the other side. He saw the official title on the other side with the title of Yifeng King Li Guangshun. Lai Junchen's mind buzzed and said, he knew what the problem was. Li Guangshun was only named King Yifeng in the first year of Tianshu two years later. How could he know the title of King Yifeng when he was engraved? This was clearly a gold medal made later. There was an obvious loophole, and he didn't notice it.

The big bead of sweat never rolled down from Junchen's forehead, and he whispered: "Maybe this is the gold medal I made later, but because the card makers were confused for a while-"

"presumptuous"

Wu Zetian was trembling all over, pointing at Lai Junchen and scolded: "Do you think I can deceive you at will? This is clearly a gold medal that has just been created. How dare you frame my grandson?"

Lai Junchen was so scared that he shouted: "Your Majesty has not deceived Your Majesty. King Yifeng has confessed and admitted that he has joined the Xingtang Association. Moreover, I have never punished him. I have confessed to Your Majesty."

A eunuch stepped forward and presented the confession that Junchen was preparing to submit to Wu Zetian in the future. Wu Zetian restrained his anger and slowly opened up the confession of King Yifeng. There was indeed a signature below of King Yifeng. Wu Zetian couldn't help but look at Li Zhen. It was Li Zhen who discovered the loophole in the gold medal just now.

Li Zhen immediately bowed and said, "Is this confession true or false? Your Majesty can call King Yifeng to ask for it."

Wu Zetian nodded and said to the eunuch at the door: "Go to the Censorate to summon King Yifeng to see me."

The eunuch ran away, and she said to Lai Junchen again: "You can calm down first."

Lai Junchen slowly stood up and stood aside with his hands down. At this time, he already understood that this gold medal must have been caused by Li Zhen, otherwise how could the emperor find out the problem? Only Li Zhen created a fake will he be so clear. Lai Junchen was so angry that he slowly bit his teeth. If he did not avenge this revenge, he would not give up.

Soon, several eunuchs led Li Guangshun into the imperial study room. He stepped forward and knelt down to salute, "The grandson greeted the emperor's grandmother, wishing him long live the emperor's grandmother."

Seeing that he was free and did not look like he was severely punished, Wu Zetian asked coldly: "Why did you want to join the Xingtang Association and collude with Li Yuanjia?"

"Reporting to the emperor's grandmother, the grandson did not join the Xingtang Association, nor did he collude with Li Yuanjia."

Wu Zetian threw the confession in front of him, "This is your signature, is there any fake?"

Li Guangshun kowtowed and said with tears in his eyes: "Lai Junchen's torture is known to everyone in the world. He brought his grandson into a torture room full of skin. He threatened that if his grandson did not confess, he would strip his grandson's wife and children's skin here. The grandson knew that he was cruel and vicious, and in order to save his wife and children's lives, the grandson had to confess against his will."

Wu Zetian turned around and glared at Lai Junchen, "Is this true?"

Lai Junchen cursed in his heart, and had to bite the bullet and deny it, "Weichen has never said this."

"nonsense"

Li Guangshun turned around and asked him angrily, "Did I make up the skin of the room? You used the imperial edict of the emperor to pass on the imperial edict, control my wife and children, and then took my five-year-old son to the torture room. Regardless of his crying and begging, he forcibly took off his clothes, shaved his hair, and threatened me to peel his skin. Did I make it up?"

"Is this a matter?" Wu Zetian glared at Lai Junchen again.

"this……"

Lai Junchen didn't want to admit it, but he thought that Li Guangshun's son was still in the Censorate Prison and was exposed to his trap once he was investigated. He had to reluctantly admit it: "This is just a means of interrogation, and Weichen did not have this idea."

"Enough"

Wu Zetian could no longer bear it and angrily scolded Lai Junchen and said, "You made perjury to deceive me, and used despicable means to threaten my grandson to confess. Is this your explanation to me?"

Lai Junchen was full of resentment, but had no way to explain, so he had to bow his head and dare not say anything. Wu Zetian gritted his teeth and said, "A such a censor will only ruin my reputation, pass on my will, and remove the position of Lai Junchen as the Censor Central Chief, and win the gold medal of the Censor, and demote him to the military of Tongzhou."

The news that Lai Junchen was demoted to join the army in Tongzhou immediately spread throughout the court and the ministers celebrated the Prime Minister and cheered that at this hard-won moment, Lai Junchen, who was full of evil deeds, was finally investigated and punished.

However, some calm officials pointed out that Lai Junchen was just anxious and failed, which angered the emperor, but did not touch the root of it. Once the emperor needed him again, he would immediately be reinstated. It is really not too optimistic.

Although there are many such calm officials, the restaurants near the Imperial City have a surprisingly good business, and every family is full. Officials gather together to drink and celebrate Lai Junchen's demotion.

In the Censorate's Office, Lai Junchen was packing his things in great frustration. Yu Ming's howling faintly came from a distance, "Give me aside, beg my life."

But Yu Ming's cry gradually disappeared. Under the stick of the Censorate Warrior, he had no other way except to be beaten to death. But even if he beat this damn bastard to death, it would be difficult to eliminate Lai Junchen's full anger. Lai Junchen knew that this time it was in the hands of Li Zhen.

After all, he was careless and found nothing in search of the Pure Land Temple. At that time, he should have realized that Li Zhen had no secret treasure at all. Li Zhen deliberately created a secret treasure to delay his time. Since then, he has been monitoring his every move. So how could he not know that he had investigated the Li Guangshun case? The fake gold medal that Yu Ming won was most likely a trap that Li Zhen deliberately set up.

In fact, Lai Junchen didn't know that Yu Ming found the real gold medal, but was knocked unconscious by Di Yan and replaced it.

However, although Lai Junchen was depressed and demoted, he secretly felt glad that the imperial edict only demoted him to the army of Tongzhou. This was actually a roundabout way of protection. To temporarily calm down the anger of the royal family caused by the Li Guangshun case, he would definitely be re-activated after the limelight has passed. The emperor still needs a cruel official like himself who is capable of it.

At this time, the Censor Liu Guangye hurried in and bowed and said, "Zhongcheng, Beizhi has already executed him."

"Don't call me Zhongcheng anymore. I have nothing to do with the Censor Zhongcheng. Let me join the army. Humph this official name is good."

Liu Guangye was stunned for a moment, and then asked in a low voice: "When will you set out to take office?"

Lai Junchen didn't say anything. He didn't even think about working in Tongzhou. If he had so many enemies, could he arrive in Tongzhou safely? Even if he arrived in Tongzhou, he would be killed. If he wanted to save his life, Tongzhou would never go.

"I haven't thought about it yet"

Lai Junchen sighed, "I am not in good health and I am suffering from all kinds of illnesses. I need to take care of it first, and then talk about it."

"But... how do you explain to the Lord?"

Lai Junchen suddenly looked at him vigilantly and asked coldly: "Why are you so anxious to urge me to take office? Is it your purpose?"

Liu Guangye was startled and hurriedly said, "I am concerned about the envoy, I have no other intention?"

Lai Junchen snorted heavily, "Even if I was dismissed, it would not be your turn to be the position of Chief Censor."

He ignored Liu Guangye and strode away with the box. Liu Guangye's face turned red and white. Lai Junchen's last words touched his heart.

Wu Sansi's new Mingtang project has reached its final stage. Seeing that the huge and magnificent new Mingtang is about to be completed, Wu Sansi is also extremely nervous. He has been eating and living on the construction site for several days, fearing that something unexpected will happen in the end. The emperor once hinted that if the Mingtang can be completed successfully, he will be given a higher vocational college.

What made Wu Sansi even more excited was that there are only three of the five prime ministers at present, and there are two gaps. Then the higher vocational vocational mentioned by the emperor is very likely to be the prime minister.

Although there is no suspense about the successful completion of the Mingtang, what worries Wu Sansi is that Li Zhen still has his own handle in his hand, and his letter to Goguryeo is still in Li Zhen's hands. Once it is revealed, even if the emperor does not want to pursue it, he will definitely not let himself become the prime minister under the pressure of the court officials.

This hidden danger made Wu Sansi very worried. From the battle between Li Zhen and Lai Junchen this time, it can be seen that Li Zhen was better than Lai Junchen in strategy. He used Lai Junchen's best strategy to invite the king into the trap and attacked halfway, defeating Lai Junchen's plan to wipe out the Xingtang Association in one fell swoop.

So will Li Zhen not keep his promise and hand over his letter to the emperor or Shangguan Wan'er?

Wu Sansi was walking back and forth in the study with his hands in his arms. He felt it was necessary to talk to Li Zhen again and make sure that he would return the letter to him.

At this moment, the housekeeper reported at the door: "Master, come to Junchen for a visit."

Wu Sansi's heart thumped, Lai Junchen came to find him, he pondered for a moment, and then replied, "Please sit in the guest hall for a while and say I'll be there soon."

Wu Sansi did not immediately rushed to the guesthouse to meet Lai Junchen, but came to the East Courtyard first. He happened to meet Mr. Ming at the entrance of the East Courtyard. Wu Sansi quickly pulled him aside and whispered: "Lai Junchen is here to find me. How do you think I should deal with it?"

Mr. Ming smiled and said, "Lai Junchen was demoted to join the army of Tongzhou. How could he be willing to do so? He must hope that the prince, the alliance, will help him and talk about his love for him in front of the saint.

"Then how should I answer him?"

"Hasn't the prince already made a choice?" Mr. Ming smiled faintly.
