Chapter 1114 Someone stabbed a hornet's nest
Li Yifu has been busy with the relocation of his grandfather's tomb recently, but he dare not ignore the affairs of the court.
He felt that he was used to power, and once he was away from Chang'an one day, he would lose his mind.
In the morning, the prime ministers slowly arrived outside the palace gate.
Xu Jingzong and Dou Dexuan stood together and talked in a low voice.
Li Ji was alone.
Liu Rengui was alone.
Shangguanyi smiled, but she was alone.
Li Yifu stood alone on the side, Shangguanyi asked: "Li Xiang, is the relocation still safe?"
Li Yifu nodded, "It's pretty safe."
Li Ji glanced at him with calm eyes.
Xu Jingzong sneered.
The monarch and his ministers will meet later.
"Your Majesty, Zhao Guogong is asking to see you."
Li Zhi looked at Wu Mei subconsciously.
Wu Mei said calmly: "Probably there is business."
When Jia Pingan came in, the hall was discussing political affairs, and he stood behind without saying a word.
Dou Dexuan was right in front of him, and he was spouting furiously at the moment.
"Don't even think about money and food!"
Liu Rengui is a stubborn person, "It is bitter cold in Liaodong, and the local tribes are hard to change. If you can give them some money and food to lure them out to farm, they will naturally be safe. If you give money and food today, you can save the cost of dispatching an army tomorrow. Which is more important?"
Dou Dexuan shouted: "Whoever dares to be ambitious will be destroyed once and for all, saving money and food!"
too crazy!
Even the empress’ cheeks twitched.
For money and food, Dou Dexuan dared to soar in the daytime.
Liu Rengui was a bit embarrassed to step down.
Li Yifu didn't care about this matter, but found that Jia Pingan was in a daze, so he wanted to involve him.
"What does Mr. Zhao think about this matter?"
"What?"
Jia Pingan was thinking about something and didn't listen to the dispute between Dou Dexuan and Liu Rengui.
Li Yifu smiled softly and stopped talking.
But should Jia Pingan be punished for being distracted?
Xu Jingzong said: "Recently there are many things in the Ministry of War. Is Zhao Guogong thinking about the Ministry of War?"
Nice turn!
But Jia Pingan shook his head, "No."
Wu Mei frowned, "What's the matter?"
Talk about things if you have something to do, get out if you have nothing to do!
The corners of Li Yifu's mouth curled up slightly.
Jia Ping'an said: "Your Majesty, I heard something today, saying that a certain place violated the regulations to enlist civilian husbands, and the local county magistrate stopped him, but the governor scolded him and ordered him to suspend his post. I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, so naturally I should not interfere with this matter, but If there is injustice, there will be a cry."
A cold look flashed across Li Yifu's eyes.
Jia Pingan, you cheap dog slave, you are here for this old man!
"What do you want to say?" Li Zhi knew that Jia Ping'an was here to make trouble as soon as he heard it, so he couldn't help being a little impatient.
Jia Pingan asked: "Your Majesty, what I want to ask is, is it right or wrong to enlist civil servants in violation of regulations? Is it right or wrong to block people?"
This is a trap!
Li Zhi was a little dissatisfied.
Li Ji coughed dryly, "Naturally, the civil servants who violated the regulations should be dealt with, and the county magistrate stopped it well!"
Li Ji, an old man, usually keeps silent, but after Jia Pingan made a move, he stood in line decisively.
Li Yifu squinted at Li Ji, thinking about how to deal with this person...but he only dared to think about it, and then turned his target to Jia Pingan.
Seeing that Xu Jingzong was about to move, he knew that he could no longer remain silent.
"Your Majesty, the relocation of the tomb of my ancestors has mobilized some civilians. I have already reported this matter. Your Majesty is kind, and I am grateful."
Plug the opening first.
Jia Ping'an asked: "Sanyuan is to the north of Chang'an, and Huazhou is to the east of Chang'an. Dare I ask Li Xiang, why did the people from Huazhou go to Sanyuan?"
Li Yifu sneered, "It's only three hundred people."
This person has gone crazy.
But Li Yifu has been heavily used in recent years, such things are really nothing.
The emperor had to rely on him to bite his opponent, so his tolerance was very high.
Jia Ping'an asked, "Is the husband from your family?"
Li Yifu sneered.
Jia Pingan was angry, "The people are your slaves? Are they your livestock?"
Li Yifu scolded: "I don't know what to say!"
In his eyes, the people are numbers.
It is no different from livestock.
Jia Ping'an's eyes were a little red, and Xu Jingzong muttered, "Xiao Jia is really angry. Hey! I haven't seen him like this for many years."
Jia Ping took a step closer, "Now it's the time of spring plowing, those people should be working in the fields, but the people in the seven counties have abandoned the fields for your own selfishness. I want to ask, where is your grandfather buried? But is it inappropriate?"
Li Yifu said grimly: "Are you humiliating this old man's grandfather?"
"I'm so humiliated, what's the matter!"
Jia Pingan pointed at Li Yi's mansion and cursed: "Who do you think you are? Usually, people bury their family members with more than a dozen helpers, but you have to use seven counties' husbands in order to move an ancestral grave, but you are still not enough. Who do you think you are?" ? The Emperor?"
Boom!
Li Yifu's face was pale, and he shouted without hesitation: "Your Majesty, Jia Ping'an slandered the minister!"
Li Zhi said calmly: "Jia Qing!"
He glanced at Wu Mei.
Take care of you brother!
Wu Mei said: "Peace!"
Jia Pingan cupped his hands at the empress, "I come from poor peasants, and I don't see people who treat the people like cattle and horses. Your Majesty, the governor of Huazhou conscripted civilian husbands for the relocation of the ancestral graves of Li Yifu. How long will it take to travel from Huazhou to Sanyuan? Who will pay for food, clothing, housing and transportation along the way? Who will cultivate the abandoned fields in the field?"
He was really strangely angry, "It's fine for the emperor to build a mausoleum, but a courtier can move the ancestral tomb to use the seven counties' husbands, I dare to ask... Will all the courtiers be able to do this in the future? If they can do this, Your Majesty, What do the emperors and ministers of the Tang Dynasty regard as common people? Livestock?"
"shut up!"
Wu Mei shouted with a livid face.
But today's Jia Ping'an couldn't shut up, "Di Renjie, the county magistrate of Zheng County, stopped him after hearing the news, and was immediately suspended from his post. He sent a document to demote Di Renjie to be the county captain of Anhai County in Qinzhou. The loyal person was demoted. When we arrive in the barren land, I dare to ask Your Majesty, who can be expected to stop the world from now on when there are injustices? With Di Renjie's car in front, who dares to stop?"
It is not uncommon for a small incident to trigger a trend and become a weathervane.
"Jia Pingan!"
Li Yifu got up and came over with red eyes.
Jia Ping'an's hand is a wat board.
Li Yifu avoided it, and then counterattacked.
Jia Ping'an used the wat board to block, and drew it away with his backhand.
Snapped!
Li Yifu was stunned.
His cheeks are swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye!
Empress was also stunned.
Fights among courtiers were not uncommon, especially during the reign of the first emperor, those former rebels, such as the Wagang group, and those military generals, these people would often shout and scold their colleagues, and it was not uncommon for them to even fight with each other.
But in the period of Li Zhi, such things were rare.
But it still happened today.
Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Jia Ping'an, Duke Zhao of the Tang Dynasty, swollen Li Yifu's face with a wat board.
Li Zhi flew into a rage, "Disrespectful!"
Li Yifu suddenly knelt down, choked with sobs and said: "Your Majesty, I am loyal, and it is His Majesty's grace to relocate my grandfather's tomb, but..."
You promised to do this, but now Jia Pingan is taking advantage of this to make a move. Your Majesty, please make the decision!
Xu Jingzong coughed dryly, "What you said... I want to relocate my ancestral grave later on, so I have to recruit civilian husbands on the spot?"
Li Ji said lightly: "I heard that Xiang Li's family has a lot of money and food. Since there is no shortage of money and food, why don't you hire them?"
Li Yifu almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.
"Extremely rude!" The emperor looked very angry, "Come here."
Several Qianniuwei came in outside.
Li Zhi pointed at Jia Pingan, "Do you know your mistake?"
The emperor used fault instead of sin...
All the old fried dough sticks present, naturally heard the implication.
Sure enough, with the queen by his side, Jia Ping'an would be safe and sound.
Wu Mei nodded slightly, implying that Jia Pingan bowed his head and admitted his mistake.
Li Ji smiled in relief, thinking that this matter was perfect.
If you admit your mistake, just admit it, it’s not ashamed.
Xu Jingzong muttered, "It swelled Li Yifu's face. I just admitted my mistake. I want to try it too."
But Jia Pingan was silent.
Li Zhi was really angry this time, "Jia Pingan!"
Jia Pingan raised his head, "Your minister is correct!"
Ah!
Li Zhi pointed to the outside, "Get out! Don't leave Daodefang until I give orders!"
Whoa!
Grounded!
The next step depends on the emperor's mood. If he is in a bad mood, Jia Ping'an can wait to get out of town and become the governor.
This is a routine. After the important ministers commit a crime, if the problem is not serious, most of them will be sent to a certain place to be an official, which can be regarded as punishment. Later, Da Song learned this routine, and the Zai Zhis went to the local officials after they left the field.
It's time for Jia Ping'an to argue.
Xu Jingzong was a little embarrassed, and felt that this matter could not help him.
Jia Pingan cupped his hands, "I will resign."
He backed away slowly.
Li Yifu looked back and sneered.
Jia Ping'an gently raised his hand at him, and pulled it in front of his neck.
Boom!
The hall exploded in one fell swoop.
What does it mean?
Everyone can see that this is the meaning of cutting the throat!
What does this extremely provocative action mean?
Never die!
Li Yifu narrowed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
See who dies first!
Wu Mei shouted: "Get out!"
Jia Ping'an left the hall feeling refreshed.
The atmosphere in the hall was also quite weird, Li Zhi immediately let the prime ministers disperse.
"Domineering!"
Doing it in front of the emperor is indeed domineering.
Li Zhi frowned, "Since that's the case, he has achieved his goal today, why did he do it?"
yes!
Wu Mei was also very puzzled.
…
Things fermented quickly.
Before noon, there was an uproar in Chang'an City because of this incident.
"Fake!"
"He and Li Yifu are enemies, is this mocking us for giving the funeral ceremony?"
"Probably."
"This person's ability to offend others is the best in the world."
Jia Pingan still went home to compile books.
"Lang Jun."
Du He came, with a solemn expression, "Cui Shilang has been impeached."
Jia Pingan asked, "What crime?"
"It is said that Cui Shilang violated the law when he was serving in the Ministry of Officials... Lied for promotion."
Cui Jian was originally a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, and he was in charge of the selection of officials. No matter how an official is, a word from him can influence the opinion of the higher authorities.
…
Cui Jian was very confused.
"What happened back then?"
"Yes." The visitor immediately said a few things.
Cui Jian pondered.
"It's all for the people of the gentry."
In those few years, he contributed a lot to the promotion and change of positions of the nobles. If you want to say that everything is in line with the rules, you can't.
"Servant, go find those people and talk about it. Anyway, it was for them that year."
Cui Jian then went to find Cui Chen.
"Saburo!"
Cui Chen was very kind, "Come make tea."
The two sat down, and Cui Chen asked him about his recent situation.
After the two uncles and nephews exchanged pleasantries, Cui Jian explained the purpose of coming, "I did some things for the gentry in those years, and some people got high praise. Now Li Yifu is clearing up this matter for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials..."
He was working for the gentry, and now he was liquidated because of this, so the gentry should also help.
Cui Chen's eyes were slightly cold, "Let's wait for this old man to discuss with them."
Cui Jian went back.
The criticism was more urgent on the second day.
But there is still no news from Cui Chen.
Cui Jian sat in the duty room, staring blankly at the desk.
He knew he was abandoned.
No, he had been abandoned long ago, but this time the gentry completely tore his face apart.
A follower comes in.
Cui Jian's eyes lit up.
"how?"
He was holding on to his last hope.
The entourage shook his head, "Those people said... they didn't know about it."
Cui Jian smiled wryly, "It's all my fault..."
Lose your car and save yourself!
This method is used with great proficiency.
"Lang Jun, impeachment is very urgent, and this matter may be difficult."
"I know." Cui Jian completely understood, "The nobles have long wanted to get rid of me who is disobedient, which can be regarded as killing chickens and monkeys. In this way, Li Yifu is doing their best for them. They will only watch, and even drink to celebrate."
The entourage hesitated to speak, Cui Jian smiled and said: "You have been with me for many years, what can't you say?"
The entourage said: "Mr. Lang, was it worth it for you to turn against those people in order to protect Duke Zhao?"
Cui Jian smiled and said: "There is no value in what people do. Many times you decide to do it, then do it, just do it with your heart. Before doing anything, you have to think about whether it is worth it. What's the point of living then?"
He sorted out the paperwork, glanced at it with nostalgia, "I probably won't need it tomorrow."
The entourage choked up, "Li Yi's mansion let go, saying that the Khitan and Xi people are complaining in the southwest, and there is a lack of an effective official to suppress it. It would be best for the lord to go."
Jia Pingan managed to move people from the Khitan and Xi tribes to the Southwest region with some trickery last time. It is said that those people cursed Jia Pingan whenever they had time.
Cui Jian said with a smile: "I heard that there are many mountains and rivers in the southwest, so it would be nice to visit for a few years."
"Cui Langjun."
Xu Xiaoyu is here.
"My lord invites Mr. Cui to drink at home."
Xiao Jia!
In just half a day, Cui Jian's impeachment was well known.
Cui Jian smiled and said, "That's fine."
He dropped what he was doing and ordered: "If someone comes looking for me, just say... yeah, quit!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Cui Jian regretted the words as soon as he uttered them, but he felt a refreshing feeling he had never had before!
"Go to Te Niang! Enjoy yourself today!"
Jia Ping'an was grounded.
"Aye, come on!"
Ah Fu was driving away the dogs in the workshop, carrying a wooden knife around to help out.
Jia Ping'an and his two sons are researching what the emerging green is.
"This is green grass."
"Aye, is the grass so small?"
Jia Hong is very honest, Jia Dong said: "When I first came out, I was young."
"Xiao Jia is in a good mood."
Jia Pingan stood up, "Brother Cui."
"How does it feel to be grounded?" Cui Jian joked.
"Not bad." Jia Pingan countered, "How does it feel to be impeached?"
"Very good." Cui Jian said, "It's only now that I understand that I'm the one who speaks lightly without officials."
Your shameless appearance is quite old-fashioned.
Jia Pingan said: "Can you still care about that side?"
Cui Jian shook his head, "What are you still caring about now... They want me to leave earlier, so let me go."
"Actually, it's not impossible."
"What method?"
…
"Sanlang is too frivolous. He broke with the gentry because of Jia Ping'an. This time he bowed his head, but the old man thinks that this bowing is only temporary. Forget it, let him go to the local government."
Cui Chen gave an explanation on behalf of Cui Shi.
Lu Shunzai nodded, "Kill the chicken to make an example to the monkey, use Cui Jian's fate to warn the nobles, don't stand in the wrong place."
Wang Sheng said: "Since you come from a noble family, naturally the noble family is the most important thing."
Cui Chen sighed, "It's a pity for Saburo."
Lu Shunzai said flatly: "It's no pity for those who stand in the wrong place."
…
"Yang Yushi."
Yang Deli, who was sorting out various news, asked, "What's the matter?"
A small official came in.
"Duke Zhao Guo sent someone here."
The person who came was Wang Er Er.
"My cousin, my husband said..."
After listening, Yang Deli said: "I'm talking about who should be impeached, that's fine."
…
"Jia Pingan beat the old man, so the old man will naturally teach him a lesson!" Li Yifu's face was so swollen that his speech was a bit vague, "Cui Jian made friends with him, and after Cui Jian was punished, the nobles have to thank the old man, killing two birds with one stone." !"
There is no eternal enemy. Li Yifu and the gentry temporarily joined forces to rectify Cui Jian.
"Sir." Qin Sha came, "Cui Jian asked to see His Majesty, saying he was defending himself."
Li Yifu sneered, "The evidence is solid, how can he defend himself?"
"Yang Deli has entered the palace!"
Li Yifu's complexion changed slightly, "What is that madman doing in the palace?"
…
"Yang Deli has entered the palace."
Cui Chen froze for a moment, "Why did you tell this old man?"
A censor enters the palace as soon as he enters the palace, and comes here to report, what is the meaning of this?
Lu Shunzai said with a smile: "Yang Deli is Jia Ping'an's cousin, every time he enters the palace, nothing good happens."
"It has nothing to do with us." Wang Sheng said disdainfully: "It's just a farmer, and he's crowned with monkeys."
…
Chang'an is still stable.
The palace is quite unstable.
"Your Majesty, the minister impeached..."
Yang Deli made a move.
As soon as he took action, he impeached more than a dozen officials, all of whom were members of the gentry.
"These people have faked their achievements, and someone has covered them up."
Li Zhi has a headache.
If you want to say that the officials of the Tang Dynasty are good, it is nonsense, but if you want to say that it is bad, it is not so bad. With his superhuman knowledge and connections, Yin Guan was promoted faster than anyone else. Therefore, most of the middle and high-level officials in Datang have backgrounds.
In order to help these people get promoted, the network behind them took action many times... If you want to talk about evidence, if you really want to investigate, no one can get away.
But no one has ever impeached such acts with such fanfare.
The emperor and empress looked at each other.
Someone poked a hornet's nest!
…
Cui Chen and the others were drinking, talking about some things within the gentry.
"The past few years have been slow, the so-called thick accumulation, after these few years we will make efforts, who can stop it?"
Lu Shunzai said confidently while drinking.
Knock knock knock!
"Come in!"
The door opened, and Wang Sheng's entourage came in.
"Alang, just now Yang Deli entered the palace to impeach more than ten officials, saying that they cheated for promotion..."
Wang Sheng suddenly stood up, "Who are those people?"
The entourage said: "They are all officials of our gentry."
Boom!
Cui Chen's face turned livid, "Jia Ping'an is a bitch!"
