Great Tang Broom Star: Chapter 227 Instigated by conscience for the leader "Rehe Road did not
Chapter 227 Instigated by conscience
In Chang'an city in early winter, the acacia flowers had disappeared, and some dry petals remained on the ground.
Both sides of the wide Suzaku Street are drains, which are so deep that people squatting in them are basically ready-made bunkers.
Gao Kan holding the nose of the car and the joy of offering prisoners to Khan seemed to be still in front of his eyes, and Li Ji came out with a cannonball.
"Your Majesty, I feel unwell, please resign from Zuo Serve."
At the court meeting, Li Ji sincerely asked.
Changsun Wuji glanced at him, feeling slightly happy.
Recently, the small circles have focused on Li Ji, constantly finding faults in the six films, and Li Ji is devastated by this. Fortunately, he blew himself up the last time he came and found out a lot of problems, so he is still calm now.
Chu Suiliang's eyes were full of joy, Li Ji got out, and the small circle controlled the court just around the corner.
He looked up at the emperor, saw the familiar blushing smile, and couldn't help sighing.
When the first emperor left, he asked me to assist the crown prince. Isn’t it because of my assistance that Tang Dynasty is flourishing today?
Look at the emperor, has there been such a humble emperor throughout the ages?
This is our contribution to persuasion!
Thinking of this, Chu Suiliang hid all the guilt, thinking that he would definitely be able to flaunt the history.
Yu Zhining's lips moved a few times, and under the gaze of the emperor, he lowered his head.
Li Zhi suppressed the depression in his heart, and said with a smile: "The Six Departments have done a good job recently, why did Li Qing ask to go?"
In an instant, Changsun Wuji stared at his nephew.
Li Ji said that he was unwell, which was a helpless choice after being attacked by the small circle. If he did not retreat, the next step would be to get serious about the small circle.
What will happen to the elites of the Shandong family?
Support Li Ji or stand by?
Changsun Wuji sneered in his heart, he knew the **** nature of those so-called aristocratic families who have been passed down for many years, they like to fight steadily, but in fact they dare not take risks.
As for this decisive battle... He watched it for a long time and tested it several times, but the Shandong aristocratic family didn't dare to fight back.
Skills stop here!
He smiled slightly.
Li Ji has been attacked recently, the key is that some inexplicable mistakes have often occurred in the Shangshu Province recently, so that 70% of the targets of Yushi's recent impeachment are Shangshu Sheng.
This is a warning.
If you don't leave, it's not a warning, but a direct trick to you.
Li Ji was alone in the court, and at this moment he could only sadly resign.
He said with gentle eyes: "Your Majesty, I have been dizzy recently and can't manage things."
Boss, if you don’t let me go, we will say goodbye forever.
Li Zhi narrowed his eyes and said, "Well, the British Duke will go home and rest for a while."
If Li Ji leaves, he will be alone and helpless.
Yu Zhining looks like an imperial party, but what this person is best at is not to offend others.
If this kind of person hadn’t been able to do so, Li Zhi would have replaced him long ago.
Later, the news that Li Ji went home to recuperate was released, and Chang'an officials were surprised.
Cui Yixuan was in a daze in the county hall of Chang'an County.
"Uncle!"
Cui Jian came in a hurry.
Cui Yixuan sighed: "You are frizzy, how do you, a doctor in the official department, do it?"
Cui Jian said as soon as he came in: "The British prince has returned home."
"The old man knows." Cui Yixuan remained calm.
Cui Jian sat down and said angrily, "That's the only prime minister His Majesty can command, and they can't tolerate it. Is this plotting against you?"
"Shut up!" Cui Yixuan stopped him, and then said slowly: "Does Your Majesty have any complaints?"
Cui Jian shook his head, "Even if there is, you can't say it."
"Then why are you in a hurry?" Cui Yixuan touched the blister at the corner of his mouth as he spoke, baring his teeth in pain.
Cui Jian breathed heavily, "They forced the British government to retreat, what's the next step? Do you want all the senior officials in Shandong to leave?"
"Don't be angry when you speak." Cui Yixuan saw that there was no one outside the door, and then said: "The old man has an appointment tonight."
Cui Jian's mouth turned up slightly, and he said mockingly, "Those who are prudent?"
The so-called prudent people are the representatives of several families of the Shandong clan in Beijing.
Cui Yixuan frowned and said, "Where are young people so dissatisfied?"
"It's not that someone is dissatisfied." Cui Jian was genuinely disdainful. "Those people, apart from being prudent or prudent, just want to wait for their opponents to perish on their own, and then gradually gain the upper hand by relying on the large number of talents from the Shandong clan. Such people...ask them What's the use? It must mean let nature take its course."
"Then what do you think it can do?" Cui Yixuan was annoyed, "Shandong's aristocratic family has been able to pass on for many years. What is it that relies on? It relies on stability."
"Steady, let's see how long it lasts!"
Cui Jian then left.
Later, Cui Yixuan appeared in a restaurant.
The restaurant immediately said that it was full and no longer served.
Inside, a group of people are discussing matters.
"Those people in Guanlong are deceiving people too much!" An old man said angrily, "Li Ji is our only prime minister in the court, and they can't tolerate it. Is this trying to plot rebellion?"
"They are familiar with treason." A younger man sneered.
When it comes to this, even the royal family is afraid of those people in Guanlong.
You emperor has harmed our interests, so go to hell.
It was Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang who died in the front, and Yang Jian also stepped on the corpses and blood and tears of his predecessors to achieve the emperor's career, and behind it was the plan of the Guanlong small circle.
Cui Yixuan frowned; "Talk about things."
Several old people squinted at him, "It would be great if you can be more confident, magistrate of Chang'an County, what can you do?"
Son of a bitch, a bunch of sluts!
Old Cui was furious in his heart, but his expression didn't show, "The old man is still in Chang'an anyway, you're just squatting at home and having fun, what did you do?"
The old men sneered, and someone said, "How should we deal with this matter?"
Everyone was silent.
Cui Yixuan watched coldly, and found that these people had no intention of dealing with it at all. In other words, they hoped to hibernate and make trouble for those people in Guanlong and the emperor. The cow beats the horse to death, the horse kills the cow, our Shandong aristocratic family is waiting to see the excitement.
A bunch of idiots!
Cui Yixuan sighed, feeling that he shouldn't be here.
…
On the second day, Li Zhitao's voice remained the same.
Without Li Ji, it is obvious that the small circle has nothing to say when discussing matters. Whenever it involves the interests of the small circle, Li Zhi watches silently.
He knew that it was useless to say what he said, and even a dispute would break out.
A dispute broke out, and then swords were drawn.
Army!
At this moment, he missed the sense of security when Aye was around.
Only by mastering the army can he survive under the oppression of the small circle.
He glanced at his uncle.
This uncle seems to be kind, but he is now a representative of the small circle. It will only disgust people to say that uncle and nephew are deeply affectionate.
With the support of the small circle, Changsun Wuji is the uncle who has power over the government and the public. So he has to be consistent with the small circle.
The goal of the small circle is very simple, the emperor cannot affect our interests, and the emperor cannot be too complacent.
So Changsun Wuji sat and watched Li Zhi being suppressed, and occasionally talked about friendship, but it became a joke in Li Zhi's eyes.
Things passed one by one, and Li Zhi found that his opinions were overwhelmed by various 'good intentions', but he was powerless to resist.
If Li Ji was here, these people would at least have some fear, but now, that fear has disappeared.
Whose world is this?
Who is my confidant?
"Your Majesty!"
Someone came outside, "Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong, governor of Yongzhou, is asking to see you."
Li Zhi raised his head in despair, frowned and asked, "Why is he here?"
Jingzong came a little later. After saluting, he glanced at Changsun Wuji and said: "I heard that someone in the court is persecuting your majesty, I..."
Old Xu came to help him, and Li Zhi couldn't help being moved.
At such a time, only Lao Xu, his confidant, would stand by his side so unscrupulously.
Changsun Wuji sneered in his heart, thinking that this loyal dog would be finished sooner or later.
And Chu Suiliang simply sneered at Xu Jingzong.
"But you old dog?"
Xu Jingzong suddenly moved.
He rushed over, punched Chu Suiliang black and blue eyes, and then the two wrestled together.
A prime minister and an important minister fight in court...
Changsun Wuji was shocked.
Li Zhi was shocked.
Wang Zhongliang shouted: "Xu Shijun drank too much, stop him!"
Li Zhi felt that this person was finally smart for a while.
Everyone pulls and pulls each other to separate the two.
Xu Jingzong scolded: "Slave dog, if you have the ability, you will try to usurp the throne. Why are you pretending to be a loyal minister? Do you dare to do something here today?"
He broke away from the waiter, opened his chest, patted his chest and cursed: "Come on, kill XX, you will have power over the government."
Boom!
As soon as these words came out, the eldest grandson Wuji, who pretended to be a Bodhisattva, couldn't pretend anymore.
Chu Suiliang, who was thinking about how to deal with Xu Jingzong, turned pale, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong slandered the old minister, the old minister... must die!"
Why don't you die?
Li Zhi said with a look of shock; "Xu Qing is drinking too much, come here."
A few guards came in outside, Li Zhi said angrily: "Xu Jingzong went to court drunk, take him away!"
Xu Jingzong was taken away, but the shouts and curses echoed in the court.
He said that Chu Suiliang's power was all over the court, but everyone knew that what he said was alluding to Changsun Wuji.
Later, the news finally got out.
Chu Suiliang immediately pleaded guilty at home.
But there are still people visiting him in an endless stream.
"...Those people went to Chu's house, and when they came out, they looked like they had been drinking."
Shao Peng is reporting.
Li Zhi smiled slightly, "It seems that the more powerful the minister, the more respected he is by those people."
Shao Peng felt a chill down his spine.
Li Zhi said indifferently: "Baiqi has investigated him for several months, is there any result?"
Shao Peng said: "Your Majesty, that is... Chu Suiliang recently bought a house, and the owner of the house is a person from Zhongshu Yiyu."
The so-called Zhongshu translators are the translators of Zhongshu Province. When the Zhongshu Province received documents from foreign domains, it needed these target language speakers to translate.
Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said lightly: "I know."
Then he ordered: "Let people go to Chu's house and invite Chu Suiliang to return to the court."
Shao Peng came to Baiqi early to discuss matters with Tang Xu.
"Your Majesty is so suppressed, I'm afraid he wants to do something." Shao Peng was a little excited.
As a servant, he is naturally an imperial party, and the small circle is domineering. He sees it and is anxious in his heart. He wishes to chop up the uncle and the others with one knife, and make them into meat sauce for dinner.
Tang Xu's face was serious, "That's a safe thing, but if they refuse..."
What if Changsun Wuji and others support Chu Suiliang?
Shao Peng said bitterly: "A group of thieves! There is no place to bury them when they die."
…
No one could see the emperor's movements clearly, nor did he see them.
On the second day, Supervisor Wei Siqian came up.
"Your Majesty, this matter is so inappropriate..."
Chu Suiliang was talking endlessly in the court hall, and when he talked about excitement, foam appeared at the corner of his mouth.
What makes people most addicted to it is not femininity, but power.
The power is in hand, even the emperor bows his head to be happy, you give me a god, I will not change it.
Li Zhi smiled shyly, "This matter should be considered again."
He is like a boat in the wind and waves, it is impossible to tell when it will capsize.
The monarchs and ministers in the court hall were "happy and harmonious", and someone said happily: "This is the scene of the prosperous age!"
"Your Majesty!"
A servant came in and said, "Censor Wei Siqian, please see me!"
Li Zhi was stunned and said: "But something is wrong?"
"Say it's something important."
Li Zhi nodded, "Then let him come."
Later, a middle-aged official with a calm expression came in.
He glanced at the officials with a cold gaze, then saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, the minister impeached Chu Suiliang..."
Chu Suiliang was in a state of excitement, and was furious when he heard the words.
Li Zhi said dissatisfied: "Chu Qing acted prudently and was just. Where did the so-called impeachment come from? If it is inappropriate, I will punish him severely!"
Chang Sun Wuji glanced at this person, and remembered that this person was born in the imperial examination, passed the Jinshi examination, and was promoted all the way up. This is an extremely solid resume, which is rare at this moment.
But is he crazy today, he dared to impeach Chu Suiliang?
Wei Siqian raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, Chu Suiliang bought a subordinate's house at a low price!"
Damn it!
Wang Zhongliang had been listless for the past few days, but he couldn't help being stunned when he heard this.
The same is true for Li Zhi, he said in surprise: "Is that so?"
Then he forced a smile again, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter."
Wei Siqian said forcefully: "Your Majesty, I am the supervisory censor. If this matter is inappropriate, I will plead guilty."
Whether you investigate or not, I will resign if I don’t.
This is the straight man of steel, no, the demeanor of a steel censor.
Changsun Wuji felt that this person was looking for death, but when he turned his head to look at Chu Suiliang, he found that this little brother had a dull expression on his face.
"Chu Qing." Li Zhi said with a smile: "I know Chu Qing's character very well, I'm afraid this is a misunderstanding?"
This is for Chu Suiliang to defend himself.
Chu Suiliang stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I... indeed bought the subordinate's land, but the price was determined by negotiation between the two parties, not by coercion."
He was talking about the land, while Wei Siqian was talking about the house. The price difference between land and land plus houses is huge.
"Absurd!" Wei Siqian said: "Chu Xiang is the order of Zhongshu, and the translator is a small official in Zhongshu Province. Zhongshu ordered to buy land from his subordinates... If he violated the crime, according to the law, all the supervisors will come to him." Officer, those who receive the property in prison will be given forty lashes per foot, one horse plus one grade; eight horses for one year, eight horses plus one grade; legal punishment."
Jianlin is the superior, and being imprisoned is the subordinate.
In other words, this is the superior accepting bribes from his subordinates. According to the value of the case, there are corresponding penalties.
Chu Suiliang glanced at Changsun Wuji, "Your Majesty, those who clean themselves will be cleared..."
Bullshit!
Changsun Wuji saw a guilty conscience in this look.
This idiot actually made such a mistake.
What is the Qing Dynasty? This is the imperial court!
Sure enough, Wei Siqian was furious, "This is the imperial court, apart from His Majesty, how can the Qing come from the Qing?"
Except for the emperor's mistakes, you can't be held accountable. Where did other people get this qualification?
Wei Siqian's words were aggressive, Li Zhi hesitated, "This matter..."
Looking at the indecisive emperor, Changsun Wuji sighed and said, "Your Majesty, let Dali Temple investigate the case."
If the prime minister commits a crime, naturally no bad person can be allowed to investigate, and that's what Dali Temple does.
Li Zhi sighed, looking at Wei Siqian with dissatisfaction, "That's fine."
Everyone will go out later.
Wei Siqian walked steadily and firmly, while the prime ministers behind him were silent.
He still remembers what he said when he first became the supervisory censor: "If the censor walks out of Chang'an, if he can't shake one side and deter the prefectures and counties, he will be dereliction of duty.
Now that he is in the court, it will naturally shake the court and frighten the traitors.
"Wei Siqian!"
Chu Suiliang's voice came from behind.
Wei Siqian turned his head and looked at Chu Suiliang approaching with piercing eyes.
Chu Suiliang said lightly: "Who are you instigating?"
Wei Siqian pointed at his chest, "Someone was instructed by his conscience."
Chu Suiliang smiled, "Be cautious in doing things."
This is an extremely cryptic threat.
Three years later in history, Chu Suiliang launched a frenzied revenge as soon as he returned to Chang'an. Wei Siqian, who impeached him, was immediately driven out of Chang'an City and went to serve as the county magistrate. If it wasn't for someone protecting him, Wei Siqian might not even be able to save his life.
Wei Siqian took a deep look at him, and said earnestly: "There are people who have lived for more than a hundred years, and everyone congratulates them, but these people who live for more than a hundred years are mediocre every day, and they only know how to make profits for themselves. It is nothing for such people to live. Forty, if you die now, you should boast of your history!"
You, Chu Suiliang, are quite old, but you have been busy all your life, and you only know how to plan for yourself. Even if you live to be a hundred years old, you will be a rice bug.
And I, Wei Siqian, am forty years old, and I died for the country, a worthy death!
Wei Siqian nodded slightly, turned and left.
He walked firmly, with his head held high.
Chu Suiliang lost his mind for a moment, and then cursed in a low voice: "Bitch!"
He turned around, Changsun Wuji stepped forward slowly, with dissatisfaction between his brows, "Is there such a thing?"
Chu Suiliang laughed dryly: "Auxiliary machine, old man..."
"Stupid! Stupid!"
Changsun Wuji scolded in a low voice: "Your family is short of money? If it is short, just go to the old man, how much is the difference in buying land, and the old man will help you make up for it? Why do you want to buy at a low price? What is even more stupid is that you bought a subordinate official land, this is giving a man a handle."
He was so angry that he wanted to fight, "This old man has never seen such a stupid thing in half his life, you!"
Chu Suiliang blushed and said, "Auxiliary machine, the old man is just confused for a while."
"You are not confused, but proud and unscrupulous!"
Changsun Wuji scolded him for a long time, and then walked away.
Backing to his place, Changsun Wuji thought about it carefully.
"Master."
Staff Zheng Yuandong is here.
"What's the matter?" Changsun Wuji rubbed the space between his brows.
Zheng Yuandong smiled and said: "Someone came to the family earlier, saying that the carriage at home had rubbed against a passerby, and the passerby extorted money, saying that he was going to sue the government...then the family suppressed it."
"Got it." Changsun Wuji knew that the so-called rubbing must be hitting someone. As for the extortion of money, most of the victims cry and complain, but the family members refuse to give the money...
To press down means to use the power of the eldest grandson's family to put pressure on officials.
Thinking of his grandson Wuji's power, who would dare to criticize him?
Especially at the beginning of the year when someone in Luoyang accused Changsun Wuji of treason, and the emperor ordered Luoyang officials to kill the person without hesitation, Changsun Wuji's power was like a scorching sun, unstoppable.
Changsun Wuji has no warmth in his eyes. As for the common people, in his eyes, they are just tools, farmers, workers...
After Zheng Yuandong left, Changsun Wuji asked: "Dali Temple Shaoqing Zhang Ruichi... remember that he is one of us?"
"yes."
Changsun Wuji raised his mouth slightly, "Tell Zhang Ruichi to suppress this matter!"
