Chapter 11 Judge others by yourself
Chang'an City.
It has been ten days since the death of the great Tian Khan, Li Zhi gradually came out of his grief and calmly accepted the fact.
National affairs cannot stand still for a day, he has already begun to see things.
In the hall, Changsun Wuji was at the top, followed by Chu Suiliang, Gao Jifu, Yu Zhining, Zhang Xingcheng...
This is Li Zhi's current prime minister team.
"...stop the battle of Liaodong, stop the work of civil engineering..."
Changsun Wuji said loudly, Li Zhi nodded slightly to express his approval.
After the death of the first emperor, what Datang needs now is stability, and all major actions have to be stopped. The attack on Goryeo has stopped, and the large-scale construction has stopped...
Eldest Sun Wuji saw his nephew's calm expression, and he couldn't help showing a look of relief, "Your Highness is calm, and the old minister is very pleased. Before the late emperor left, he asked the old minister to let His Highness kiss the sage and stay away from the villain."
Li Zhi's first reaction was Xu Jingzong.
Old Xu is known as the loyal dog of the Eastern Palace, and has always been a thorn in the side of many courtiers. This time he was slapped by Changsun Wuji and sent to Huazhou. I don't know how many people praised Changsun Wuji behind his back.
Old Xu went to Huazhou, Li Zhi's first thought was to worry. That broom star is in Huazhou, so don't let Old Xu get overwhelmed to death by him.
He is the crown prince, and he will become the emperor of the Tang Dynasty next month. The emperor kept his promises, and his power shrouded the court... This was the usual practice, but he knew he couldn't do it.
Look at these courtiers. My uncle, Changsun Wuji, stands in the front with his belly upright, smiling; Chu Suiliang has a loyal face... The rest of them are crooked, and they can't compete with the ones in front of them. The two contend.
The emperor needs helpers and loyal subjects. Gao Jifu, Yu Zhining and others are considered his team members, but in that... In terms of loyalty, I really can't compare with Xu Jingzong.
For example, if he complains about Changsun Wuji now, then Gao Jifu and others will be stunned, at a loss, and then look like 'what's going on? I don't know! ’ expression.
But Lao Xu is different, if he is there, Li Zhi only needs to wink, and he will pounce on him like a mad dog, using his vitriolic temper to slander Changsun Wuji.
So even though he knew that Lao Xu had this or that problem, Li Zhi still relied on him very much.
He looked at the courtiers, and he missed Xu Jingzong in Huazhou very much.
After the discussion ended, Changsun Wuji and others resigned, and someone sent a memorandum, and it was a secret memorandum.
After opening the playbook, Li Zhi couldn't help smiling when he saw the familiar handwriting of Zhonggou. When he saw the content, his smile gradually froze.
"...Liang Bo corrupted public money?"
The former governor of Huazhou, Liang Bo, was sick. According to the rules, he, the crown prince, should let Liang Bo recover from his illness with peace of mind. If it is possible, it is even necessary to send an imperial doctor to take a look and express his concern.
When he saw Liang Bo embezzling the public office money to run for an official position, Li Zhi's eyes became more serious, and he pinched his robe with his left hand.
The shameless thing used public funds to run for an official position. If it wasn't because he cared about the opinions of the outside world, he wanted to get Liang Bo back at this moment, and after a public display, he rushed to Lingnan.
"Come on!"
The servant Wang Zhongliang approached.
"Go, call the gentlemen."
There were many prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty, and the unified title was Xianggong.
Wang Zhongliang took a look at Li Zhi, saw that he was slightly happy, and said joyfully: "Your servant will go now."
Seeing him running fast, Li Zhi couldn't help nodding his head slightly.
Li Zhi continued to look down, and when he saw the end, he couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead.
"trouble marker?"
Xu Jingzong actually told the whole story in the secret memorial. Of course, he would also give himself extra points. He said in the memorial that he had a sharp eye and discovered that Jia Pingan was a talent.
"Is it a talent?" As the prince who is about to ascend the throne, he has his own channels to get news. And he knew more about the broom star than Xu Jingzong.
On the branch of grandfather, Jia Ping'an is there, and the others are all gone.
Except for Yang Deli, the branch of the grandfather was completely wiped out.
Mr. Xiangxue, kill!
Finally... Emperor Gaozu of the Tang Dynasty, destroy!
Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty (this is the prepared temple name), destroy!
"Such a broom star, he actually said he is a talent?" Li Zhi frowned, if it weren't for the deep-rooted loyalty of Lao Xu, he would really wonder if this guy was bought by someone.
Talent?
Li Zhi frowned and looked at the secret note, which said that Jia Pingan guessed that there was something wrong with the whereabouts of the public money through some clues, and said something... fraudulent loan!
Using public money to lend money and being cheated, isn’t that a fraudulent loan?
"Your Highness, the gentlemen are here."
Li Zhi raised his head, and a humble smile appeared on his face instantly.
Changsun Wuji hurried in first, "What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Recently, because of the death of the first emperor, things have been backlogged a lot. Changsun Wuji and others are very busy, so it is inevitable that they are a little impatient.
Li Zhi's smile became more humble, even more embarrassing, "I just received a report from Huazhou that Liang Bo, the former governor of Huazhou, was corrupt, and the evidence...conclusive!"
Changsun Wuji frowned and said, "Is that so? But Liang Bo has always been famous. Who found out about this? It must be..."
He suddenly felt something was wrong, so he looked up at Li Zhi.
Huazhou, isn’t Xu Jingzong just going to Huazhou?
Li Zhi's smile is still humble and humble, "Xu Jingzong."
In an instant, he saw the astonishment and embarrassment on Changsun Wuji's face, and suddenly felt that the pores all over his body were open, and he was breathing crazily.
Comfortable!
After the death of the first emperor, Changsun Wuji, as the elder and chief Tuogu minister, naturally took control of the government. As a prince, he has to look at the face of this elder when he does everything, how aggrieved he is!
But at this moment, the news from Huazhou is like a support army, which relieves his pent-up mood at once. At this moment, he couldn't help thinking of Jia Ping'an.
According to the report, Jia Pingan was very mediocre when he was studying in the rural school, no, he was stupid. This person was so stupid that my husband felt that it would be a waste of money to continue reading, so he persuaded him to leave.
Then how did he get smarter?
Xu Jingzong's explanation is that Jia Ping'an was discriminated against by the villagers since he was a child, saying that he was unlucky, and he was often bullied by his classmates in the village school, so he had to hide his clumsiness.
yes!
Li Zhi suddenly thought of his own situation. When facing the old officials headed by his uncle, why wasn't he hiding his clumsiness?
Changsun Wuji's face was a little hot, and he smiled and said: "Your Highness, Xu Jingzong... the old minister has never heard that he is good at solving crimes, and he has only been in Huazhou for a few days, how did he find out about this matter? The old minister feels that this I'm afraid there's something... wrong, right?"
Old Xu is no one who can solve the case, and he is going to Huazhou. He is not familiar with the place, how can he solve the case? Even Changsun Wuji couldn't.
People are best at judging others by themselves. If I can't do it, why can you do it?
"The evidence for this matter is solid." Li Zhi smiled and said: "Liang Bo has pleaded guilty, and Xu Jingzong is preparing to have him escorted to Beijing."
This matter is a certainty, otherwise, after Liang Bo returned to Beijing, once he changed his words and said he was wronged, Changsun Wuji would dare to slap Xu Jingzong to death.
Xu Jingzong actually... that treacherous minister actually found out about Liang Bo's corruption case?
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "So... the old minister thought that Xu Jingzong really made progress."
Changsun Wuji and others then resigned.
Out of the main hall, Chu Suiliang walked over to him and said in a low voice: "Xu Jingzong is just a loyal dog, he only knows how to obey the will of the superior, he does what the above says, stupid. The old man thinks that this matter may have something to do with it. Fake."
The ability of people like Xu Jingzong is to figure out what they want, and then do things according to orders. That is to say, they lack subjective initiative.
Such people are naturally synonymous with idiots in Chu Suiliang's eyes, but Changsun Wuji sighed: "When the old man met Xu Jingzong many years ago, he smiled like a dog and flattered the old man, but how could the old man pay attention to this?" Waiting for a lost dog? Unexpectedly! This dog actually... actually bit the old man."
Changsun Wuji smiled and said: "Of course I will send someone to investigate later, if there is a fake, then..."
Limang flashed in his eyes, and he was about to use Xu Jingzong to perform the operation.
As a result, before returning to the official office, the two received the news.
"The governor of Huazhou, Shi Liaoquan, came to the memorial and tried his best to speak well for Xu Jingzong. He said that Xu Jingzong had a sharp eye. He noticed something wrong with Liang Bo as soon as he came to Huazhou. He only used a little trick to find out the case."
I go!
Even though Changsun Wuji was a well-tested old fox, he still blushed for a moment at this moment.
Chu Suiliang was stunned, then smiled and said: "Auxiliary machine, you and I guessed this matter wrongly, then Xu Jingzong is actually a capable official, so why didn't he show his talents in Chang'an City?"
Changsun Wuji frowned, and said solemnly: "Is he hiding his clumsiness?"
Chu Suiliang shook his head, "The old man thought it was just a coincidence."
Changsun Wuji laughed and said: "Yes, Xu Jingzong has been stupid for many years. If he can hide his stupidity for decades, he will be a hero. He..."
Everyone says that Lao Xu is a traitor, but if you say he is a hero, let alone Li Zhi, everyone who has dealt with Lao Xu will laugh out loud.
As far as Lao Xu's popularity is concerned, he doesn't even have many friends, how can he be a hero?
The two smiled at each other, both feeling a little depressed.
"His Highness has an order to reward Xu Jingzong."
The elated Li Zhi sent people to Huazhou without hesitation, bringing with him his appreciation and rewards.
…
—When the name of the country of Goguryeo was changed to Goryeo is difficult to verify, but whether it is the records of the Tang Dynasty or other records, it shows that the name of the country at this moment is Goryeo, not Goryeo. But this Goryeo is not the later Goryeo, and the two are incompatible.
