The government executes the will of the state, and in this sense it is always calmer and more ruthless than a single individual.

A very simple case, breaking into the government to rob the prison and injure people, killing the head is inevitable, the official office represents the imperial court, Gu Qing's move is to ignore the majesty of the imperial court's laws, from ancient times to the present, the heroes of the rivers and lakes who have robbed the prison have not been arrested and are naturally at large, if they are caught, how many can survive?

However, Gu Qing himself is an official, especially after the incident, hundreds of people gathered in Dali Temple to intercede, and the news reached Xingqing Palace, and Li Longji had to be cautious.

Ironically, Li Longji indulged in gentleness all day long, and the government should be thrown to the left and right ministers, and he rarely even held court meetings, and such an emperor actually felt that he was a Ming monarch, a holy monarch who put the broad masses of the people in his heart, and the voice of the people could not but be heeded.

So after a simple case was heard by the heavens, Li Longji ordered Wannian County to order Chen Wensheng to report on his work in Dali Temple.

The eunuch who passed the decree hurried to the Wannian County Ya, and then heard a very speechless news, Wannian County ordered Chen Wensheng to run away, Chen Wensheng He was not a person, he ran away with his sister-in-law......

The eunuch stood at the gate of the county government with a bewildered expression, vaguely hearing the sound of the bleak autumn wind whistling by, and the picture was particularly bleak and helpless......

Then the angry eunuch ordered to find someone quickly, and two hours later, he was finally found in the maiden home of Mrs. Chen Wensheng.

That night, Dali Siqing personally tried the case, combined with the confessions of Chen Wensheng and Gu Qing, the two confessions were carefully read several times, Dali Siqing only felt that his eyelids jumped, and immediately signed the confession, and immediately ordered someone to send the confession to Xingqing Palace.

This confession is basically in line with the facts, Wannian County arrested the two businessmen for no reason, and asked Chen Wensheng what crime the two businessmen had committed, but Chen Wensheng couldn't say, only said that he was instructed by the above.

After further questioning, the name Li Linfu finally jumped out.

Remember the URL

So Dali Siqing didn't dare to take care of it, and sent the confession to the Son of Heaven to take care of it, and the prime minister couldn't afford to mess with it.

…………

Early the next morning, Yang Guozhong entered Xingqing Palace.

In the Calyx Building, Yang Guozhong knelt down and cried when he saw Li Longji, and a wicked person sued first.

The Wannian County Order deceived people too much, and the Wannian County Order knew the law and violated the law, abusing public power to arrest innocent businessmen, causing public resentment to boil, so there were countless people kneeling at the gate of Dali Temple to exonerate Gu Qing.

Li Longji's face was ugly, and he couldn't tell if it was because Gu Qing was angry because of the prison robbery or because of something else.

Yang Guozhong's life is really exquisite, he only slammed the pot on the head of the Wannian County Order from beginning to end, and no one else mentioned it. In fact, he already knew that this matter involved Li Linfu, the right minister, last night, and he was not very panicked in addition to being frightened.

Originally, the relationship between Yang Guozhong and Li Linfu was very good, since Yang Guozhong was summoned to Chang'an in the fourth year of Tianbao because of Yang Guifei's favor, Li Linfu took the initiative to make friends with Yang Guozhong, the relationship between the two is not enough to be friends, at least allies on the front, Li Linfu has brought down a lot of political enemies over the years, Yang Guozhong has made a lot of efforts, there is such a brother-in-law who keeps teasing right and wrong in the ears of the Son of Heaven, and there is a prime minister who is making waves in the court, plus there is a charming beauty in the palace......

To be honest, it is difficult for Li Longji to think about it or not.

Li Linfu and Yang Guozhong's honeymoon period has long passed, and they have accumulated considerable dissatisfaction with each other. Probably the reason for the struggle for power and profit, with the rise of Yang Guozhong's official position, he is gradually not satisfied with being the prime minister, he wants to be a self-motivated person, he wants to be the prime minister.

How could Li Linfu make him the prime minister, just kidding, you are just the emperor's brother-in-law, if you want to learn or not, if you want to have no ability, you only know that you are engaged in nepotism every time you are pacted, do you have a few catties and a few taels in your heart? Leave the huge court to you, will you govern?

Just this year, in order to contain Yang Guozhong's power, Li Linfu recommended Yang Guozhong's rival Wang Ji as the middle of the imperial history, and this time he finally completely broke Yang Guozhong's heart and completely broke with Li Linfu.

Waiting for idle changes but old people's hearts, no love, the world is not worth it.

From a friend to an enemy, Yang Guozhong naturally will not show mercy to Li Linfu.

sued in front of Li Longji, Yang Guozhong was very skillful. never mentioned that this matter was related to Li Linfu, he just denounced how the Wannian County Order was illegal and how innocent the businessman was, and then pulled it to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the businessman was innocent but was brutally arrested by the government, is this a moral degradation or a distortion of human nature......

The more Li Longji listened, the tighter his brows wrinkled, whether Yang Guozhong knew it or not, at least Li Longji knew it. Judging from the confession sent by Dali Temple, the Wannian County Order was just acting on orders, and the person who really ordered the arrest of the merchant was Li Linfu.

Li Longji couldn't help but sigh secretly, this right minister heard that he has been seriously ill recently, and he will recuperate well when he is seriously ill, why do he do things every once in a while? This is not only a slight injury that does not get out of the line of fire, but a serious illness and does not forget to make waves, a gossip newspaper used by the people for entertainment and jokes, is it worth the right minister's personal order? Could it be ...... Li Linfu wants to control public opinion and people's hearts in Chang'an?

Li Longji's brows furrowed even tighter, and there was a slight chill in his eyes. This speculation is a bit chilling.

Yang Guozhong still knelt in front of Li Longji and cried: "Your Majesty, the minister is wronged, the minister has great grievances!" The gossip newspaper run by the minister and Gu Qing has already been allowed by His Majesty and the concubine Niangniang, with the permission of His Majesty, the minister and Gu Qing dared to let go of it, but the county order of the 10,000 years knew that His Majesty had allowed it, but pretended not to know, and still took the two most effective businessmen of the gossip newspaper to prison, and tortured them to extract confessions, intending to bend into a trick, create a wrongful prison, and frame the minister and Gu Qing, how vicious these intentions are, begging Your Majesty to be the master of the minister and Gu Qing! ”

Li Longji said coldly: "Wannian County took those two businessmen, before or after I allowed you to run a gossip report?" ”

Yang Guozhong said without hesitation: "After His Majesty's permission, His Majesty allowed the minister and Gu Qing to do gossip in front of the concubine Niangniang yesterday afternoon, and every word of His Majesty's entrustment was still remembered by the minister, and Wannian County ordered Chen Wensheng to take down the two businessmen, it was around the clock last night, and the period was half a day apart, and the two businessmen were punished in the prison after being taken, and they shouted that the Son of Heaven had agreed to this matter, and the Wannian County Order still turned a deaf ear and insisted on punishing the two until dawn......

Li Longji was furious: "What a guts! ”

Yang Guozhong lowered his head and said: "Yes, Chen Wensheng is really bold. ”

Li Longji sneered, what he said by "bold" was not Chen Wensheng.

Yang Guozhong hung his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but he was also sneering in his heart. He knew that Li Longji was not referring to Chen Wensheng when he said "bold".

The two of them pretended to be confused, and the atmosphere was a little delicate.

After pondering for a long time, Li Longji said slowly: "General Gao, order the Ministry of Officials to remove Chen Wensheng from the post of Wannian County Order, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department and the Three Law Divisions of the Imperial History Observatory jointly interrogate Chen Wensheng......"

Yang Guozhong couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, staring at Li Longji with expectant eyes, hoping that Li Longji would order Li Linfu to be cut down in the next sentence.

However, Li Longji disappointed him.

Just as Yang Guozhong never mentioned Li Linfu in his complaint, Li Longji's disposition also did not mention Li Linfu at all, and the two monarchs and ministers seemed to completely treat Li Linfu as an irrelevant person.

Gao Lishi seemed to have a good impression of Gu Qing, who only had a few faces, and cautiously reminded him: "Your Majesty, I don't know what to do with Gu Qing?" ”

The corners of Li Longji's mouth hooked, and he said lightly: "What crime did Gu Qing commit?" ”

Gao Lishi and Yang Guozhong were stunned for a moment, Yang Guozhong was blessed with a blessing to his soul at this moment, as if he had been hit by lightning and his head was suddenly opened, and immediately continued: "Your Majesty, Gu Qing just went to the Wannian County Prison on the order of the minister, and there was a slight dispute with the Wannian County official due to a misunderstanding. ”

Li Longji suddenly said: "It turned out to be a little dispute, I really didn't see the wrong person, although Gu Qing is young, but he is affectionate and righteous, he stands up for his businessman friends, is not afraid of power, and has the courage to fight against injustice, those people in front of Dali Temple who intercede for Gu Qing are proof, Emperor Taizong once said, 'Water also carries boats, and water also overturns boats', the people's hearts cannot be bullied, how can I be that indiscriminate faint king?" ”

Yang Guozhong bowed and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, the Tang Dynasty is Wandai." ”

Li Longji decided in one word, Gu Qing no longer led people to rob the prison, but "argued" with the messenger due to misunderstanding, and the nature of this matter was very different.

Li Longji said slowly: "I remember...... The last time Gu Qing beat Lu Xuan's eldest son, it was Shi Zhangji, the head of the left guard, who ordered Gu Qing to be sent to the left guard prison, but he gently let Lu Xuan's eldest son go, is there such a thing? ”

Gao Lishi on the side said softly: "Your Majesty has a good memory, exactly." ”

Li Longji exhaled and said lightly: "Gu Qing was imprisoned in Dali Temple for three days, and he was released from prison after three days, and was promoted to the head of the Zuowei family. ”

After being imprisoned for three days, it was Li Longji's punishment of Gu Qing, which should have been punished more severely, but this matter was mixed with too many inexplicable political factors, so the verdict was a bit strange.

Yang Guozhong bowed to the ground and said: "Your Majesty is wise, the reward and punishment are fair and strict, and the subordinates are obedient." ”

was robbed of prison, but the person who robbed the prison was promoted to an official, and the Wannian county order, which was originally on the side of justice and victims, was dismissed and investigated, and he was imprisoned.

So what kind of mood should the mastermind behind the Wannian County Order arrest the two businessmen?

Combined with Gu Qingsheng's official position, he happened to replace Shi Zhangji, the chief of the left guard, who was Li Linfu's thug, and the will of this promotion became more and more meaningful.

Li Longji used this roundabout way to beat Li Linfu again, and indirectly expressed his dissatisfaction to Li Linfu.
