Chapter 752: Wang Ji loses power
No matter how shrewd a person is, sometimes he will be stupid, Wang Ji is like this, he really wrote a note to Tang Xuanzong Li Longji according to his own will.
At this time, Li Shizhi, the left minister, had been knocked down by the right minister Li Linfu and replaced with Chen Xilie, who he thought was easy to handle.
After Chen Xilie paid his respects, he had a great time with Li Linfu. Li Linfu has been a prime minister for many years, and his power is tilted towards the government and the opposition, although his insidious and treacherous power is enough to consolidate his position, but he has also won the power of Chen Xilie's Zuoyou to sing and harmonize
On the morning of the second day, Tang Xuanzong Li Longji didn't think about how to deal with Wang Jie, he avoided him, and never talked about Wang Jie's affairs, Wang Jiao stood in the corner of the court, like a transparent person, everyone knew it and tried not to mention this sensitive matter.
What everyone didn't expect was that Chen Xilie, the left prime minister, who had always been submissive to the right minister Li Linfu, stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, Xing Wei and Wang Jiao made a rebellion, after the preliminary trial last night, it was found that the imperial historian Wang Jiao Wang also participated, and the minister thought that the court could not tolerate the rebellious ministers and thieves, and the king should be taken into custody immediately." ”
Wang Ji was very angry when he heard this, he glared angrily, staring at Chen Xilie, the left minister, and wanted to swallow him in one bite. In his impression, with his current status, there are only two people who can dictate to himself, one is today's saint, and the other is his master, Li Linfu, the right minister, and Chen Xilie, the left minister, are just an ornament, a dog in the hands of the right minister Li Linfu, he thought: On weekdays, I only promise in front of me, and I dare not make a sound.
Wang Jie, who was furious, instantly forgot that he was above the court as soon as his head was hot, and he burst into a shout: "You dog shut up for me, what kind of thing do you dare to dictate to the outside world? The master is still in power, you are like this, you are not afraid that the master will find someone to kill you?"
After saying this, there was silence in the court, and a thunderstorm flashed in everyone's minds.
Wang Jie's attitude angered Tang Xuanzong, he had only heard of Wang Jie's arrogance before, but he didn't expect it to become like this, he scolded loudly: "Wang Jie, you go down first, explain your affairs clearly-----"
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's scolding made Wang Jie's head quickly sober up, he glanced at Li Linfu, hoping that he could say a few words for himself, but Li Linfu twisted his head to the side and stopped looking at him.
He turned his head to Yang Zhao again, hoping that Yang Zhao would be able to pull himself in the past. In Yang Zhao's eyes, there are only people who can be used and unavailable, and he doesn't know what love is.
Yang Zhao smiled and comforted Wang Jie: "Lord Wang will go back and write a statement to the emperor first, and apologize for his unremarkable, and this matter may be over." ”
Wang Ji has never seen through Yang Zhao's heart, and he doesn't know that he is actually the person who wants to fall into the well the most. After a moment of silence, he left the main hall and returned to Zhongshu Province to write a statement repeatedly, explaining his behavior in the court just now, and apologizing for the bad impact caused.
What he didn't expect was that the palace gate that usually entered and exited freely was closed to him at this time, and it was more difficult to show his feelings to the emperor than to ascend to the sky at this time. The eunuch guarding the gate of the inner palace had already received Gao Lishi's order to refuse to accept Wang Jie's table, begging, and bribes were useless. Only then did Wang realize that he was gone, and the building was about to collapse.
Not long after, a holy decree came from the palace: Chen Xilie, the left minister, and Yang Zhao, the middle of the imperial history, were ordered to interrogate Wang Jie. At the same time, another holy decree was announced: to remove Wang Ji from the post of Jing Zhaoyin and appoint Yang Zhao to concurrently serve as Jing Zhaoyin. This appointment is tantamount to announcing Wang's loss of power.
After receiving this holy decree, Wang Ji fell to his knees at that time, so paralyzed that he couldn't stand, but he still couldn't believe that the emperor would be so ruthless, he still wanted to redeem this defeat, he asked someone to hand his recital to the right minister Li Linfu, hoping that he could help him transfer the recital to Tang Xuanzong, hoping that he could pull himself at the critical moment. Unexpectedly, Li Linfu replied directly: "It's late." ”
Li Linfu is a very politically minded person, and there are reasons why he did not help Wang Jie, first, because Wang Jie, was involved in a rebellion case and lost the emperor's heart; second, he was also dissatisfied with Wang Jiao and others for a long time.
When Wang Jiao was favored, not only was the horse master afraid of him, but even Li Linfu, who was above 10,000 people under one person, sometimes had to let Wang Jiao take a few points. Don't look at Wang Jie, who is usually respectful to Li Linfu, but his son is unceremonious to Li Linfu's son.
Li Linfu's son Li Xiu was in charge of the general of the third grade, responsible for the construction and maintenance of the royal building, and Wang Zhun was the guard lieutenant of the fourth grade, responsible for the management of weapons, honor guards, and tents, and he was also in charge of the cockfighting competition.
Li Xiu's rank is higher than Wang Jie's, Li Linfu's position is one level higher than Wang Jie's from his parents' generation, and Li Xiu's level is higher than Wang Zhun's from his children's level. The Li family and his son can suppress the Wang family and his son from any point of view, but Wang Zhun doesn't think so, he often makes fun of Li Xiu in public, and he doesn't take this right-hand son in his eyes at all.
Wang Jie's son bullied his son, Li Linfu didn't know it, but he didn't do too much thinking when Wang Jiao was in power.
After all, Wang Ji is one of Tang Xuanzong's cronies, and there are only three or four people like him who can speak in front of Tang Xuanzong, and it is beneficial to maintain a good relationship with Wang Ji to stabilize Li Linfu's position. On the contrary, if Wang Jiao is pushed to the hostile camp, it is tantamount to sending a heavy magic code to the other side, and the balance of power struggle will be tilted in favor of the other side.
The temporary concession does not mean that Li Linfu did not take it to heart, he will not do the things that fall into the well at the critical moment, but he will not help with the things that reach out to save people.
Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's attitude has been clear, and the officials inside and outside the court have been offended by the Wang family, no one is willing to help Wang Jie, and even his subordinates are hiding far away, for fear of having anything to do with him.
After the interrogation began, Wang Jiao was taken to the lobby, and the presiding judge Yang Zhao had the intention to condemn Wang Jie's participation in the rebellion to death, and he induced a confession: "You are plotting with Xing Jiao, does your brother Wang Jiao know?"
There are not only Yang Zhao's people in the interrogation hall, but also some people who were close to Wang Ji before, and Shi Pei Mian is one of them.
Pei Mian entered the office in the Tianbao period with the shadow of the door, and successively served as the lieutenant of Weinan County, the judge of the Gyeonggi interview envoy, the supervision of the imperial history, and the imperial history in the palace. Although he has no academics, he abides by his duties and is decisive, and he is deeply respected by the king of Cheng in the imperial history.
He was in charge of the interrogation above the lobby at this time, and he saw Yang Zhao's intentions. He had been friends with Wang Jie, and was worried that Wang Jiao would indiscriminately bite Wang Jiao in order to save his life, so he preemptively reprimanded Wang Jiao loudly: "You conspired with Xing Wei to rebel as a courtier and were disloyal to the emperor, and as a younger brother, you were unjust to your brother. Today, the saint takes good care of you because of your brother Dr. Wang, and promotes you to be the head of the household, ranking in the fifth grade, and you are generously kind. You have to tell the truth, does Dr. Wang know about Xing Wei. ”
