Chapter 696 Beijing-China Rebellion
Quan Wanji rode his horse and galloped under the starry sky.
The moon is pale and the stars are sparse, and the road is unknown, but it still can't stop his enthusiasm.
Ma Zhou withheld his bullets, and the Jinwu Guard intercepted his memorial. Not only did this not dispel Quan Wanji's thoughts, but it aroused his infinite fighting spirit.
At this moment, he changed his make-up and clothes, pretended to be a businessman, and quietly left Chang'an City at dusk, intending to rush to Lishan to impeach the emperor himself.
He not only wants to impeach Zhang Yungu, but also impeaches Dali Temple Minister Sun Fujia, imperial historian Ma Zhou, Minister of Industry Yang Shidao, and Zuo Jinwuwei General Wu Heita...
This is not the first time he has impeached a prime minister. He has impeached Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, Changsun Wuji, Yuwen Shiji in the past, but it is the first time he has impeached so many prime ministers.
And he thinks it will work this time.
Li Haode rebelled, but Zhang Yungu shielded him. Zhang Yungu was clearly the remnant party of the traitor Li Yuan, and his evil intentions were not dead, but Li Houde had long been in collusion with him. Zhang Yungu also used Li Houde to collude with Yang Shidao, intending to rebel. Li Haode accidentally revealed the rebellion plan...
Now Ma Zhou and Sun Fujia are shielding Zhang Yungu and Li Houde again, obviously they are the same party.
If this case is successful, Quan Wanji can at least replace Ma Zhou as the doctor of imperial history. Ma Zhou is just a down-and-out scholar, and he has the support of Qin Lang to sit in this position. What real qualifications does he have?
He, Quan Wanji, is the most suitable imperial censor. After all, Ma Zhou has never even impeached a prime minister, so what kind of censor should he be?
It is only a hundred miles from Chang'an to Lishan Hot Spring Palace. Although Quan Wanji is a civil servant, he also spent time in the army in his early years. A child of Guanlong, he can ride and shoot. He gritted his teeth and ran while riding a horse. overnight.
At dawn, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Quan Wanji was covered in dew, showing his fish amulet to the soldiers of the Forbidden Army at the foot of the mountain, regardless of his fatigue.
"The censor Tai Zhishu serves Yu Shiquan Wanji, I have something important to see the saint!"
The name of Zhishu Shiyushi is quite useful, Habayashiro reported it immediately, and soon the emperor summoned Quan Wanji to go up the mountain to see him.
"What is it?"
The Emperor is eating breakfast.
After getting up, soak in the hot spring first, and then eat noodles with trousers and mutton soup, which is very pleasant.
Seeing Quan Wanji dressed as a businessman, Li Shimin was a little surprised.
Quan Wanji threw himself on the ground and said loudly that he had uncovered a conspiracy case. He first mentioned Li Haode's name. Li Shimin thought for a while, but didn't remember it.
"Xiangzhou Inspector Li Houde!"
Another name, Li Shimin said that he had a little impression, but it was only a little impression. There were more than 300 prefectures in the Tang Dynasty, and there were more than 300 governors. Li Houde, the governor of Xiangzhou, was not a famous person.
"Why did Li Houde rebel?" Li Shimin asked. Li Shimin was not surprised when he heard that a little-known assassin was rebelling, and continued to eat noodles and soup.
"Xiangzhou Inspector Li Houde is Yang Shidao's cousin-in-law." Quan Wanji first pulled Yang Shidao out.
Li Shimin's hands stopped.
"Oh, Yang Shidao's cousin-in-law?"
"Li Houde's wife, Yang Shi, is the uncle of Yang Shidao and the daughter of Yang Shigui, Duke of Han in the former dynasty."
Li Shimin is relatively clear about the Yang family. After all, there are several Yang families in his harem. The mother of the third child, Wu Wang Ke, is Concubine Yang, and there is also a concubine Yang. After Yuan Ji was killed by him, his wife Yang was also brought into the palace by him. , although it has not been officially canonized, the palace has been called Princess Cao Ci, but they are all from the Hongnong Yang family.
Besides, Yang Shidao is still his sixth brother-in-law.
Yang Shidao's father is Guan Wang Yang Xiong. Yang Xiong has seven sons. The eldest son, Yang Gongren, also served as the prime minister of two dynasties in the Tang Dynasty, and was named Guan Guogong. Old Qi Yang Shidao, the youngest among the brothers, also worshiped the prime minister before, and now he is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
There is also Yang Gongdao, the sixth son, and Yang Jieyu of Li Shimin's harem is his daughter.
Li Shimin not only called Yang Shidao the sixth brother-in-law, but also called Yang Shidao uncle.
Yang Shidao's father, Yang Xiong's three brothers, Yang Xiong, Yang Da, and Yang Shigui, Yang Da served as prime minister Nayan in the Sui Dynasty. He had two sons, one of whom gave birth to granddaughter Yang Mudan, who married Ying Ying, the founding hero of the Tang Dynasty, in his forties. The Duke of the Kingdom, the warrior Xun.
The Hongnong Yang family has a prominent status, and the former imperial family also produced figures such as Yang Su and Yang Xiong.
Li Shimin did not expect Yang to be involved.
"You say that Li Houde conspired against you, do you have any definite evidence?"
Quan Wanji had been prepared for a long time, and immediately told how Li Haode made false rumors in Xiangzhou, disrespected the court and the emperor, and intended to rebel, and was then arrested and imprisoned by Yousi.
Originally convicted of treason and capital crime, but when he came to Zhang Yungu, the prime minister of Dali Temple, he was immediately changed to not guilty, saying that Li Haode had just lost his mind.
"The minister found out that Zhang Yungu was originally from Xiangzhou. Li Houde was the governor of Xiangzhou, so he made friends with Zhang Yungu. Zhang Yungu's family invaded the fields of the people in Xiangzhou, and Li Houde intended to protect him. Li Haode was taken to the capital and the case was brought to Dali Temple In the re-examination, Zhang Yungu turned black and white, deliberately lied that Li Haode was insane, and found him innocent..."
"Then Li Haode is not crazy?"
When Li Shimin heard this, he couldn't help getting angry.
"Saint, that Zhang Yungu was originally the secretary of the rebel King Li Yuan of Lujiang, who joined the army. He had a daughter who served as Li Yuan's concubine and died with Li Yuan in Youzhou. Rebellion. So he colluded with Li Haode, intending to rebel."
Li Shimin frowned.
Li Haode is a state governor, so there is not much chance of rebellion.
"Saint, because Yang Shidao was deposed by the sage, he felt resentful. He and his brother Yang Gongren intended to rebel and restore the Yang family."
Quan Wanji gave an example of Yang Xuangan's rebellion in the Sui Dynasty. Yang Xuangan was the son of Chu Guogong and Shang Shuling Yang Su, who inherited his father's title. He was poisoned and killed by Yang Guang, so he conspired to rebel.
Taking advantage of Yang Guangdong’s conquest of Goguryeo, he took the initiative to ask for food and grass in the rear, and took the opportunity to rebel in Liyang. At that time, many people responded and fought all the way to Luoyang, almost breaking the city.
"Sage, brothers Yang Shidao and Yang Gongren have all served as prime ministers, and the rest of the brothers have also held important positions, some as governors in the local area, or generals in the army, and many members of the Yang family are also officials in the court. If Yang's rebellion, the consequences Unbelievable!"
"The minister came wearing stars and wearing moons, because he was afraid that the Holy One would be deceived by others!"
"Um?"
Quan Wanji took the opportunity to sue the emperor, saying that Sun Fujia, the minister of Dali Temple, might have been recruited by the Yang family, so everyone in Dali Temple got Sun Fujia's hint and ignored the black and white of Li Haode's case.
He also said that Ma Zhou, the imperial historian, also had a connection with Sun Fujia, saying that they had secretly whispered before the supervisory meeting, and Wei Zheng, the servant, warned the two of them because of this.
When it comes to the matter, it is no longer as simple as whether Li Haode is mentally ill or whether Zhang Yungu is selfish, but involves the rebellion of the Hongnong Yang family.
Hongnong Yang is known as one of the six great gentry clans in Guanlong. Its strength is even higher than that of Jingzhao Weidu and Hedong Peiliuxue.
The Yang family is now spread all over the government and the public. If they want to rebel, there may be serious problems.
Since Li Shimin became emperor, he has experienced several rebellions, from Li Yuan, Wang Junkuo, to Luo Yi, to the clan's Li Xiaochang, Li Youliang, and many other generals.
Faced with a rebellion case that endangers his throne, Li Shimin is highly vigilant.
Even Li Yuan, Li Xiaochang, and Li Youliang of the imperial family wanted to rebel against him, and it is not impossible for the Yang family to rebel against him.
"Zhang Yungu!"
Li Shimin gritted his teeth. He remembered this person very clearly. After Li Yuan's rebellion was put down, many Youzhou officials were dismissed or demoted.
He used the famous lines of Cao Wei and Li Kang in his remonstrance book, so he ruled the world with one person instead of serving one person with the world. Joy can not be extreme, extreme joy into sorrow. Desires cannot be indulged, and indulgences become disasters.
Don't be desolate in color, don't be desolate in poultry. Don't value hard-to-find goods, don't listen to the voice of subjugation...
These words were very rare for Li Shimin who had just succeeded to the throne and had not yet won the hearts of the people. So Zhang Yungu, like Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and others, was specially promoted.
Zhang Yungu was transferred to Zhongshu Province, promoted to sixth-rank official, and then transferred to Dali Temple Chancellor.
It can be said that Li Shimin still values Zhang Yungu very much, and regards him as a loyal and upright minister like Sun Fujia, Dai Zhou, and Wei Zheng.
But who knows, now he is involved in the conspiracy case.
Quan Wanji has always been famous for his daring to speak out, not afraid of relatives and dignitaries, and has won the trust of Li Shimin.
"Come on!"
Wang Kai, the young supervisor in the hall, came in.
"With my will, you bring three hundred Yulin back to Beijing, arrest Dali Temple Chancellor Zhang Yungu, and behead him on Chang'an Street for public display!"
"Officials involved in the trial of Li Haode's case in Dali Temple were all suspended and detained for interrogation."
"Sun Fujia, the Minister of Dali Temple, was dismissed from participating in political affairs, and temporarily transferred to the doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. Dismissed from the Minister of the Ministry of Education and Industry, and changed to Shaoqing of Taichang Temple..."
"Xu Henan Yin and Yang Gongren will be appointed as officials, and they will go back to Chang'an to recuperate!"
"Ma Zhou, the doctor of imperial history, moved to the middle school to serve as the minister, and was exempted from the title of participating in political affairs."
"Xiangzhou Inspector Li Houde was resigned, and the author was escorted to Beijing!
·······
Emperor Thunder Wrath issued a series of decrees, and even directly issued a killing order for Zhang Yungu. Dali Temple Minister Sun Fujia and Yushi Doctor Ma Zhou were directly removed from the post of prime minister.
"Quan Wanji is temporarily aware of the Yushitai affairs."
Looking at Quan Wanji, Li Shimin rewarded him.
Quan Wanji blushed with excitement, thanking him repeatedly.
After Quan Wanji and Wang Kai withdrew, Li Shimin immediately summoned his servants and wrote several secret decrees, asking Habayashiro to return to Chang'an immediately and hand it over to the generals of the imperial army who stayed in Beijing.
