Tiantang Splendid

Facing the aggressiveness of Li Yifu, Fang Jun still stood still, with a calm expression on his face: "Right and wrong, we have our own opinions. Every inch of land in Fangjiawan Wharf was purchased by the Fang family, and the documents and title deeds were in multiple copies. Both the buyer and the seller and the Jingzhao government are on record, and anyone who has any doubts can check it at any time."

He only explained the key issue of land ownership, but did not mention the "population of unknown origin" impeached by Li Yifu. In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has fought in the South and the North, especially in the East and South China Seas that the navy has destroyed countless countries and indirectly or directly controlled. There are countless foreign countries, and human trafficking is almost an inevitable problem.

Turkic people, Silla maidservants, and Kunlun slaves are all extremely popular "products" in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the people of the Tang Dynasty who are regarded as fundamental by the aristocratic families and the entire empire, those slaves who are sold from abroad are hardworking and industrious. , and cheap, who can use it?

It is impossible for these slaves to be registered in the government office one by one. Often, one is registered, but ten are sold privately. As long as there is one name, it is enough to pay taxes.

In the final analysis, these things are all shady and cannot be explained clearly.

But having said that, this kind of thing has already formed an unspoken rule. Even if Fang Jun violated it, it should not be a big deal. As long as he has never kept Han slaves privately, he will be fined to make up for the crime.

But obviously, as the saying goes, a single crime may not be able to bring down Fang Jun, but what about ten or twenty?
Li Yifu's application was a little excited. Standing in the Tai Chi Hall, with his back to the officials and facing the emperor, he was impassioned and pointed out the country. This is his dream achievement. Although it is only a "sword" launched by the Yushitai today, it also makes people He experienced what it was like to stand in the highest authority of the empire.

Fascinating……

Li Yifu held his head high and held his chest high, speaking sonorously: "This time, the closure of the flooding breach was handled in a timely manner. Strictly speaking, the government of the Ministry of Industry has no faults and merits. After all, it is a natural disaster, and it is impossible to prevent it... However, when the population was scarce, the Duke of Yue Brazenly mobilizing the garrison outside the Xuanwu Gate, he has never met His Majesty for instructions, has never discussed with the Military Aircraft Office, and has never issued an official letter from the Ministry of War... This move certainly blocked the breach as soon as possible, but it put the army, country and society at risk. It is the crime of exterminating the three tribes! Your Majesty knows clearly, I naturally do not think that Yue Guogong has the intention of treason, but if such a private mobilization of troops is not severely punished, when everyone follows suit in the future, what is the safety of the king? What is the safety of the country? I also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to order the Three Law Departments to review the case, punish it severely, and set an example to others!"

Needle-dropping can be heard in the hall, no matter which side or faction, when Li Yifu impeached Fang Jun for the crime of "mobilizing the army privately", they all kept their mouths shut.

This matter can be big or small. If Li Chengqian thinks that Fang Jun is suspected of being "a master of meritorious service", then it is the right time to take this opportunity to suppress Fang Jun and gather military power. Whoever dares to get involved will be involved and smashed to pieces Conversely, if His Majesty still trusts Fang Jun and really has the original intention of "I will share wealth with my love", then this is not a problem.

After all, Fang Jun mobilized his troops privately for the relief of disasters, not for private use...

But who knows what His Majesty thinks?The profession of the emperor can make people narrow-minded and jealous. "Accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger" is not just talking, and he had a universal mind back then.Isn't the wise and mighty His Majesty Li Er also moody in his later years?
Li Chengqian looked as usual, he didn't seem to realize how he needed to reply to Li Yifu at this moment to express his attitude towards Fang Jun, took a sip of tea from the teacup, and asked calmly: "Is there any more?"

Li Yifu: "..."

The most important "privileged troop deployment" has been put at the end as the finale, isn't that enough?

"Your Majesty, it is clear that the above-mentioned matters have been carefully screened, investigated and collected by Yushitai, and they are all facts. The other crimes are just speculation, and there is no real evidence for the time being. Therefore, Yushitai will not impeach for the time being."

"Well, what explanation does the Duke of Yue have?"

All the ministers looked at Fang Jun, but they saw that Fang Jun did not speak, but took out a stack of memorials from his arms, and there were as many as seven or eight copies...

Some of the ministers were puzzled. Did this guy already write a defense or a memorial for the charges of impeachment he was impeached?You can't just plead guilty honestly, can you?
However, some old people from the Zhenguan Dynasty felt that this scene seemed familiar. The long-lost memory came to their hearts, and their complexions suddenly changed, especially those who were unspeakably innocent, their eyes widened and their hearts beat fast. Uneasy.

This mallet is doing this trick again?
But please, don't expand the attack area...

However, the more you are afraid of something, the more you will come.

I saw Fang Jun looking through a stack of memoirs, picking and choosing, took out one and handed it to the servant on the side, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I impeach Li Yifu for being ungrateful, greedy for public money, perverting the law for personal gain, and framing! When this person took the imperial examination, he was poor and poorly clothed, and the minister happened to be the invigilator. Seeing his pity, he gave him clothes as a gift. No matter what, it was regarded as caring for him. Who would have thought that this person would not remember the gift of clothes afterward? , On the contrary, it is ungrateful to slander the humble official! During his tenure as the county magistrate of Wannian, he used various means of concealing, lying, embezzling, embezzling, etc. to embezzle Mo’s public funds for more than [-] yuan. Extravagant, full of servants and servants! What’s more abominable, taking over lawsuits, instigating unjust cases, accepting bribes, and manipulating national laws have become their methods of accumulating wealth and favoritism! Arbitrarily framing and framing minor ministers, it seems that the criminal evidence of minor ministers is conclusive, but in fact they are fabricated Facts, chasing rumors, please Your Majesty punish him with death!"

The officials in the main hall were in an uproar, whispering to each other, looking at Li Yifu who was at a loss, discussing differently.

It is clear that he stood up to impeach Fang Jun on behalf of Yushitai, but who would have expected Fang Jun to strike back and impeach him in turn?
And Fang Jun used this trick at the beginning. I don’t know how many civil officials tried to bring down this "sycophant", but they were impeached by Fang Jun. In the end, Fang Jun stood still and rose to the top. , or dismissed from office, or even imprisoned, with a ruined future...

Li Chengqian took a look at the memorabilia handed over by the servant, then threw it at Li Yifu's feet, and said coldly: "What do you have to say?"

Li Yifu was a little dazed, he quickly squatted down to pick up the memorial, and looked at it at a glance, a chill rose from the bottom of his heart, he shivered, his head was pounding, and his face was pale.

In the memorandum, apart from talking about his ungratefulness and framing, there are also the amount and details of the money and food he spent when he was the county magistrate. Although he himself can't remember it so clearly, he still remembers a few of them. , also confirms that this memorial is not nonsense...

But the question is which official can truly be as clear as water, as bright as a mirror, with a breeze in his sleeves, and spotless?
Some things are indeed greedy, but they are the tacit rules of the officialdom, almost everyone does it, even Fang Jun may not be able to take advantage of the yamen...

The so-called bending the law for personal gain is an exaggeration. Although Wannian County Magistrate is only a mere county magistrate, he is in charge of half of Chang'an City, tens of thousands of lands outside the city, and hundreds of thousands of people. Auxiliary and feudal officials, but they are officials with great power. They always have some favors to deal with in their spare time. Once the dignitaries in Chang'an City are involved in the case, who can guarantee that all the official affairs will be handled properly?

Are you still in the mix?

In some cases where the facts of the case are not clear or the evidence is not sufficient, it is unavoidable to treat them differently after weighing the two parties involved. Even Wei Zheng, who was strong back then, could not be equal...

But looking at the memorial now, those things were clearly stated, which made Li Yifu's heart feel cold, and his hairs stood on end.

It's obvious that someone has been staring at him, and his every word, deed, and every move can hardly escape the eyes in the darkness...

No need to ask, it must be Fang Jun.

Li Yifu tremblingly held the memorial in his hand, looked up at Fang Jun, and said in disbelief, "Duke Yue...why did this happen?"

Said he was "ungrateful", he absolutely refused to admit it, did he not take the initiative to approach Fang Jun because of the "love of giving clothes"?It's Fang Jun who doesn't want him!But Fang Jun has the slightest intention to take it in, even if he is a dog, he is willing, but Fang Jun is afraid that his dog will bite, so he kicks him away.

If he hadn't gone through Liu Ji's path and was able to enter Yushitai to serve as a supervisory censor, he would have been relegated to the smoky place at the end of the world by now, and joined the barbarians and barbarians...

But he really couldn't figure it out, with Fang Jun's power and status, why did he want to kill himself so much?
Look at Fang Jun's opponents since he stepped into the officialdom. He used to be the eldest grandson Wuji, who was in power for a while, and now Liu Ji, the head of civil officials.

But Fang Jun didn't even look at him, the action of lowering his head to search in the memorabilia made many people tremble with fear, then he raised his head, looked in the direction of the group of people at Yushitai, and asked a question that was even more shocking. Heart-breaking words: "The one who stood up to impeach me just now, what's his name?"

Except for Liu Xiangdao who lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes, the group of Yushitai did not say a word, and the rest were as pale as paper, fighting with each other, keeping their mouths shut and not saying a word.

What's so cool these days?After all, they are all descendants of aristocratic families, and they are all supported by the family when they become officials. After becoming an official, they naturally have to find ways to feed back the family. The transactions of power and money they have handled are countless, how can they be said to be clean and honest?

And Fang Jun obviously has an unparalleled news channel, and he can easily learn the secrets behind many officials. If he is one of the memorabilia held by this guy, wouldn't he be committing suicide?

At this time, everyone in Yushitai also vaguely understood that the reason why Liu Xiangdao advocated the impeachment of Fang Jun was not so impartial and selfless and to maintain discipline, but because he wanted to use Fang Jun's hand to cut off different voices in Yushitai. Seeing that Liu Xiangdao himself and his confidantes kept silent and stayed out of the specific matter of Fang Jun's impeachment?
