Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 4493

Liu Jie only felt a mouthful of old blood suffocating in his chest, he swallowed hard, and asked, "Where is Pei Yi now?"

Fang Jun looked strange: "Yesterday, Pei Yi was acting strangely in front of me, and I sent someone to drag him away. However, this person is an official of the Ministry of Industry, so it is inevitable that his face will be damaged. I feel ashamed, so I asked someone to take him to Pingkangfang to find him. A banquet in a restaurant as an apology...how come you haven't returned home yet?"

Liu Ji: "..."

I am so sorry.

Pei Yi was used as the introduction of today's impeachment trend, but at this time, he went to Pingkangfang to drink flowers and wine... It's ironic.

This was clearly a conspiracy against Yushitai, whether it was Li Qianyou or Wang Lun, especially Li Yifu, this time he was too careless, and he jumped straight into this big pit.

It is estimated that Li Yi's mansion can't be kept now. Li Qianyou, Wang Lun and others have different ideas when they think about it. His remaining influence in Yushitai has almost been lost...

All the ministers also looked at each other in blank dismay, and looked at Liu Xiangdao with some trepidation in their eyes. They thought that this was an upright and stubborn minister, but now it is not easy to see the big hole he dug for the subordinates of Yushitai with his own hands. Same generation.

Li Chengqian said to Li Junxian: "Send someone to Pingkangfang to have a look. If Pei Yi is really there, send him home and tell everyone in his family to act more rigorously in the future. Don't listen to the wind and the rain." , ran to Yushitai to file a complaint without knowing what was going on, how unreasonable it is!"

"Here!"

Li Junxian took the order and left.

Then, Li Chengqian said: "This matter has not been clarified yet, so it is not worth making a decision in vain, let's deal with it later."

Liu Jie had nothing to say. Although he felt resentful to miss such a good opportunity, he knew that if he continued to hold on to Fang Jun, it might not end well today. After all, the mallet still held several memorials in his hand. Well, the devil knows who's black material has been collected again. Once it is shaken out, it will definitely be another disturbance.

Although he is currently promoted to Zhongshu Ling, a nominal civil official leader, his foundation is not stable after all, and there are only a few real confidantes. If two more are knocked out by this mallet, the loss will be too serious...

Others naturally have nothing to do.

On the contrary, Liu Xiangdao said: "Your Majesty, the first thing you need to do to pick up officials and clean up discipline at Yushitai is to stand upright. Otherwise, how can you convince the public? The crimes of the Duke of Yue's impeachment of Li Yifu are undoubted, and Li Yifu also pleaded guilty. I don't know. How should it be handled?"

Li Chengqian thought for a while, and said: "The Minister of Dali Temple, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and you, the imperial doctor, discuss it in this hall, don't delay it any longer."

All the ministers were speechless, Fang Jun said it later, and Li Yifu dealt with it on the spot, this double standard...

Dai Zhou, Minister of Dali Temple, and Zhang Liang, Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, came out together: "I obey the order!"

So he stood at the same place with Liu Xiangdao, whispering to each other, and Liu Jie sighed secretly, unable to intervene.

After all, Li Yi's mansion is nothing more than a supervisory censor, and he was called into his command at the beginning because he was entangled with Fang Jun, and he would definitely be able to do his best when facing the scene.Now that Fang Jun counterattacked, there is no need to stand up, the loss outweighs the gain.

It's just a pity that such a very capable Qingliu official is a bit regretful...

Soon, the disposal of Li Yifu was discussed and decided.

Liu Xiangdao played Bingdao: "Your Majesty, although the evidence for the various crimes of the Duke of Yue's impeachment of Li Yifu is convincing, most of the crimes are minor and have long been a bad practice in the officialdom. The official position of Shi, demoted out of Beijing, went to Changxi, Quanzhou to serve as county magistrate, and within five years, he was not allowed to be an official in Beijing."

Li Yifu's complexion was ashen and pale, as if mourning his concubine, he had nothing to say.

Li Chengqian was at a loss: "Where is Changxi County?"

The territory of the empire is too vast, and he can only remember some of the more prosperous or famous places. It is impossible to remember all of the more than 360 states and nearly [-] counties...

Dai Zhou said: "Changxi County belongs to Jiangnan East Road, under the rule of Quanzhou."

Fang Jun on the side pondered for a while, this place is probably near Xiapu, which is considered a good place for later generations, but it was a poor place with poor mountains and rivers for thousands of years before liberation, and it was extremely difficult to be an official there to make achievements All difficulties, for the northerners, severe acclimatization to the soil and water will lead to serious diseases and sudden death...

Li Chengqian nodded: "Then let's do this."

At last, Li Yi's mansion didn't lose his dignity before the emperor, he confessed his sins and thanked him with a frustrated face, and then left the Tai Chi Hall under the escort of his servants.

The supervisory censor is only under the eighth rank, and the county magistrate in Xia County is also under the eighth rank, but the two are worlds apart and completely incomparable. It is equivalent to cutting off his official career with one knife, and for the rest of his life, he will either end up in southern Fujian , or retire from office and return to the countryside, there is absolutely no possibility of re-entering Beijing as an official.

After Li Yi's mansion was taken down, they discussed another government matter, and when it was almost noon, they announced their withdrawal from the court, but Li Ji, Li Xiaogong, Fang Jun, Liu Ji, Ma Zhou and others were left behind, and they stayed in the imperial dining room first. After lunch, we went to Wude Hall, where the emperor had important matters to discuss.

The emperor went back to his bedroom to take a bath and change clothes. Several ministers knelt in twos and threes and drank tea in the shop. Li Ji sat with Fang Jun and Li Daozong, nodded to the former and said in a low voice: "You did a good job today."

He is one of the few people who can see Fang Jun's real purpose today. They all think that this is Fang Jun's cooperation with Liu Xiangdao to eliminate the other forces in Yushitai and let him completely control Yushitai, so that he can better serve the New Deal. Implement escort, but Li Ji knows that Fang Jun's real intention lies in "Hundred Knights".

The "Hundred Cavalry Division" that exists to protect the imperial power was firstly mobilized by His Majesty Li Er to use the elite troops to guard the palace. However, after all, it is powerful and easy to use. Enemy situation, intelligence collection, secret interrogation, all are used to the extreme.

Such a powerful and loyal institution must be relied on heavily by an emperor like Li Chengqian who has just secured his throne.

However, Li Chengqian is far worse than Emperor Taizong, and he may not be able to restrain himself and the "Hundred Riders". Unstoppable, national laws no longer exist.

However, the existence of "Hundred Knights" is indeed beneficial, and the difficulty lies in how to control it. Therefore, Fang Jun pushed the "Hundred Knights" to the foreground today through the matter of Yushitai, so that it was completely exposed to everyone. Resist and arouse vigilance, so that the "Hundred Knights" can no longer expand unscrupulously.

As the emperor's most trusted person, he benefited from the strength of the imperial power, but he was able to realize the disadvantages of the supremacy of the imperial power and curb it. It can be said that Fang Jun's actions are dedicated to the public, which is worthy of praise.

This is the breadth of mind and vision of a famous official through the ages, which is beyond the reach of others.

Fang Jun smiled, replaced the wine with tea, and toasted Li Ji, without saying anything.

Li Daozong next to him didn't have such profound political cultivation, he felt a little puzzled when he saw the flirtatious eyes between the two, and asked in surprise, "Is there anything I don't know?"

Li Ji held the pot and poured him tea, and said calmly: "Sometimes it is not a good thing to know everything, but it is rare to be confused is the highest state."

Today, there are only a handful of people in the ruling and opposition parties who dare to speak to Li Xiaogong like this.

Li Xiaogong sipped his tea, sighed, and said bitterly: "The times have changed, and now I feel more and more powerless about the situation in the court. High position, when the day comes that His Majesty no longer needs me to stand guard, he will retire completely to enjoy the rest of his life."

He has no idea about the Minister of the Ministry of Officials now, but now His Majesty needs him to control the clan, so he is reluctant to do so, otherwise he would have retired and sued the old man for traveling in the mountains and forests. He has saved a large family business in the first half of his life, and now the business with Fang Jun is even more serious. It's a day of money, so if so much money is not spent, wouldn't it be a waste of money?

All day long, the beauties of alcohol and wine are happy and happy, and they are also officials of the ball...

Fang Jun whispered: "I heard that the king of the county took another concubine, she is a beauty from Kucha, who is so graceful and as beautiful as a flower? Tsk tsk, you really know how to enjoy yourself, and envy others."

Li Xiaogong coughed dryly, stroked his beard, and made a majestic gesture: "Where do you hear such a mess? If rumors are spread everywhere to damage my reputation, I will definitely not rest with you!"

Li Ji put down his teacup, and said directly: "The king of the county should say so!"

Li Xiaogong froze, and then smiled: "I can't tell Erlang, look at him pretending all day long, after all, he is a generation away... But since Maogong you ask, I can only say one thing, a stunner in the world Whoa, hey!"

Li Ji also laughed: "If there is a chance, I should find one and put it in the mansion, so that I can enjoy it in my spare time."

Fang Jun watched these two big men in the dynasty and famous ministers of all ages say here and there how exotic the beauty of Kucha is, how white the skin is like snow, how coquettish and charming, he was extremely speechless.

However, the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty has always been open, such things as sex with prostitutes can also be communicated openly in front of people, let alone just buying a few foreign singers to play in the room?
It's just that they were excluded from the discussion, which made Fang Jun very upset: "The two of you are also quite old, you should cherish your own body. In fact, the various functions of the human body are innumerable. For example, how many times you breathe in a lifetime, how many steps you walk in a lifetime, how many times you can do that kind of thing... Ahem, take it easy, you two, now that you are wasting your passion in a moment, you may only be discouraged and powerless in the future. .”

Li Xiaogong was furious immediately, and said: "Go away, since you dislike our old age and frailty, then hurry up and go somewhere else, you have to come to us for something!"

Li Ji sneered at him: "Don't think that I am more than twenty years older than you, but I am full of energy and strength. In comparison, you may not be an opponent."

Li Xiaogong clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "What a fart does he know? I'm afraid that monkeys will rush up every time, and it will be boring after a shiver. How can you know the essence of chewing slowly and lightly? Hugh and He talks about it like playing the piano to a bull."

The rest of the ministers looked sideways, not knowing what the three were talking about with such high interest.

Fang Jun was despised by Li Xiaogong, he was very annoyed, he was waiting for Haosheng to reason, when he saw Wang De, the chief servant, entering the room: "Your Majesty is here!"

Several ministers hurriedly got up one after another, bowed and stood in silence to welcome His Majesty.

Li Chengqian strode in, dressed in ordinary clothes, sitting behind the imperial case, and threw a memorial on the case with a solemn expression: "The urgent report just sent from Luoyang, the weather this year is very different, the Yellow River freezes more than a month earlier, causing The water transportation is not smooth, and there is a shortage of various materials in Beijing, especially the food shortage. Dear dear friends, let’s talk about some good strategies to alleviate the food shortage.”
