In Chang'an City in early winter, the acacia flowers are gone, and there are still some dry petals on the ground.

On both sides of the wide Suzaku Street are drainage canals, which are very deep, and people squat into them, and there are ready-made bunkers.

The joy of Gao Kan's Chebi Khan's sacrifice of prisoners seemed to be still in front of him, and Li Tao came to make a shot.

"Your Majesty, the minister is not feeling well, and I sincerely ask to resign from the post of left servant."

At the court meeting, Li Tao sincerely pleaded.

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at him, slightly happy in his heart.

Recently, the small circle has been focusing on Li Tao, and they have continued to find faults from the six departments, and Li Tao is anxious about this. Fortunately, last time he blew himself up and found out a lot of problems, so now he is quite calm.

Chu Suiliang's eyes were filled with joy, Li Tao got out, and the small circle was just around the corner to control the court.

He glanced up at the Emperor and couldn't help but sigh when he saw the familiar smile.

When the first emperor was leaving, he instructed us to give birth to a good life to assist the prince, and now the Tang Dynasty is thriving, isn't it the credit of our assistant?

Look at the emperor, can there be such humble emperors throughout the ages?

This is the work of our advice!

Thinking of this, Chu Suiliang hid all that guilt, and felt that he would definitely be able to flaunt history.

Yu Zhining's lips moved a few times, and under the emperor's gaze, he lowered his head.

Li Zhi suppressed the depression in his heart and said with a smile: "Liubu has been doing good things recently, why did Li Qing ask to go?" ”

In an instant, the eldest grandson Wuji stared at his nephew.

Li Tao said that he was unwell, this was a helpless choice after being set on fire by the small circle, if he didn't retreat, the next step would be to move the small circle.

What will happen to the door valves of Shandong Shijia then?

Stand by or stand by and watch?

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered in his heart, he knew the urine nature of those so-called families that had been inherited for many years, they liked to play steadily, but in fact, they didn't dare to take risks.

As for such decisive battles...... He watched for a long time, and tried several times, but the Shandong gate valve family didn't dare to fight back at all.

Stop this!

He smiled.

Li Tao has been attacked recently, and the key is that there have been some inexplicable mistakes in Shangshu Province recently, so that seventy percent of the targets of Yushi's recent impeachment are Shangshu Province.

This is a warning.

If you don't leave, it won't be a warning, but it will get you directly.

Li Tao was alone in the court, and he could only resign gloomily at such times.

He said with a warm gaze: "Your Majesty, the minister has been dizzy recently and can't be a director." ”

Big man, if you don't let me go, we will say goodbye to our monarchs and ministers forever.

Li Zhi's eyes shrank and said, "In this way, the British Duke will go home and rest for a while." ”

If Li Tao is gone, he will be alone.

Yu Zhining seems to be an emperor, but what this person is best at is not offending people.

If this kind of person hadn't been able to, Li Zhi would have replaced him a long time ago.

Later, the news that Li Tao would go home to recuperate was released, and Chang'an officialdom was surprised.

Cui Yixuan was in a daze in the county party in Chang'an County.

"Uncle!"

Cui Jian came in a hurry.

Cui Yixuan sighed: "Frizzy, how did you do it?" ”

As soon as Cui Jian came in, he said, "The British Duke has returned home." ”

"The old man knows." Cui Yixuan still looked calm.

Cui Jian sat down and said angrily: "That's the only prime minister that Your Majesty can command, and they can't even tolerate it, is this a rebellion?" ”

"Shut up!" Cui Yixuan drank him, and then said slowly: "Your Majesty has any complaints?" ”

Cui Jian shook his head, "Even if there is, you can't say it." ”

"Then what are you anxious about?" Cui Yixuan said and touched the fire bubbles at the corner of his mouth, baring his teeth in pain.

Cui Jian's breathing was a little heavy, "They forced the British Duke to retreat, what will happen next?" Do you want to let the senior officials in Shandong get out? ”

"Don't be rash when you speak." Cui Yixuan saw that there was no one outside the door, and then said, "The old man made an appointment at night." ”

The corners of Cui Jian's mouth curled slightly, and he said sarcastically: "Are those stable people?" ”

The so-called stable people are the representatives of several families of Shandong Gate Valve in Beijing.

Cui Yixuan frowned and said, "Where are young people so dissatisfied? ”

"It's not a grievance." Cui Jian is sincere disdain, "Those people are not stable or steady, they just want to wait for the opponent to perish on their own, and then rely on the talent of Shandong Gate Valve to slowly gain the upper hand." Such people...... What's the use of asking them? It must be said to go with the flow. ”

"And what do you think you can do?" Cui Yixuan was annoyed, "What does the Shandong gate valve family rely on for many years to inherit?" It depends on stability. ”

"Steady, let's see how long it can last!"

Cui Jian then took his leave.

Later, Cui Yixuan appeared in a wine shop.

The liquor store immediately said that it was full and would no longer accept it.

And inside, a group of people are deliberating.

"Those people in Guan Long are too deceitful!" An old man said angrily: "Li Tao is our only prime minister in the court, and they can't even tolerate it, is this a rebellion?" ”

"They are familiar with such things as rebellion." A younger man sneered.

When it comes to this, even the royal family is afraid of those people in Guan Long.

You, the emperor, have harmed our interests, so let's die.

The one who died in front was Emperor Yang Guang of Sui, and further back, Yang Jian also stepped on the corpses and blood and tears of his predecessors to achieve the imperial industry, and behind it was the plan of Guan Long's small circle.

Cui Yixuan frowned; "Tell the story."

Several old men squinted at him, "If you can fight harder, what can you do?" ”

Son of a bitch, a bunch of sluts!

Lao Cui was furious in his heart, but his face was not obvious, "The old man is still in Chang'an, you just squat at home to enjoy yourself, what are you doing?" ”

The old men sneered, and someone said, "How to deal with this matter?" ”

The crowd was silent.

Cui Yixuan looked at it coldly and found that these people didn't have the heart to deal with it at all. In other words, they hope to hibernate and make trouble for Guan Long and the emperor. The cow killed the horse, the horse beat the cow, and our Shandong gate valve family waited to see the excitement.

A bunch of idiots!

Cui Yixuan sighed, feeling that he shouldn't have come here.

……

On the second day, Li Zhitao's voice was still the same.

Without Li Tao, it is obvious that it will become a hall of words in the small circle during the discussion, but whenever it involves the interests of the small circle, Li Zhi will watch it silently.

He knew that it was useless for him to say anything, and that he would even break out into arguments.

A dispute broke out, and then tensions ensued.

Army!

At this moment, he missed the sense of security when Aya was there.

Only by mastering the army can he survive under the suppression of the small circle.

He glanced at his uncle.

This uncle seems to be loving, but now he is a representative of the small circle, and it will only disgust people if he says that uncles and nephews are affectionate.

With the support of the small circle, the eldest grandson Wuji is the uncle of the country who leans towards the government and the opposition. So he has to be consistent with the cotery.

And the goal of the small circle is very simple, the emperor cannot affect our interests, and the emperor cannot be too proud.

So the eldest grandson Wuji sat and watched Li Zhi being suppressed, and occasionally said anything about affection, but it became a joke in Li Zhi's eyes.

Things passed one by one, and Li Zhi found that his opinions were drowned out by all kinds of 'good intentions', but he was powerless to resist.

If Li Tao was here, these people would at least be a little jealous, but now, that jealousy has disappeared.

Whose world is this?

Who are my henchmen?

"Your Majesty!"

Someone came from outside, "Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong, the assassin of Yongzhou, asks to see you." ”

In despair, Li Zhi raised his head and frowned: "What is he doing?" ”

Later Xu Jingzong came, and after saluting, he glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji and said: "I heard that there are people in the court who persecute Your Majesty, and the minister ......."

Lao Xu came to help with the fist, and Li Zhi's heart couldn't help but be moved.

At such a time, only Lao Xu, a henchman, would be so unscrupulous on his side.

The eldest grandson Wuji sneered in his heart, feeling that this loyal dog would be finished sooner or later.

And Chu Suiliang simply sneered at Xu Jingzong.

"But you old dog?"

Xu Jingzong suddenly moved.

He pounced, punched Chu Suiliang into a black eye, and then the two scuffled together.

A prime minister and an important minister fought in court......

The eldest grandson Wuji was shocked.

Li Zhi was shocked.

Wang Zhongliang shouted: "Xu Yuanjun has drunk too much, quickly hold him!" ”

Li Zhi felt that this person was finally smart.

Everyone, you pull me by and pull them apart.

Xu Jingzong scolded: "Cheap dog slave, if you have the ability, you will seek to usurp the throne, what kind of loyal minister are you pretending to be?" If you are here today, do you dare to do it? ”

He broke away from the inner attendant, opened his chest, patted his chest and scolded: "Come, kill so-and-so, you are so powerful." ”

Rumble!

As soon as this sentence came out, the eldest grandson Wuji, who pretended to be a bodhisattva, couldn't pretend to be able to do it anymore.

Chu Suiliang, who was originally thinking about how to clean up Xu Jingzong, turned pale, knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, Xu Jingzong slandered the old minister, the old minister...... Ten thousand deaths! ”

Why don't you die?

Li Zhi said with a shocked face; "Xu Qing has drunk too much, come here."

A few guards came in outside, and Li Zhi said angrily: "Xu Jingzong went to the court drunk and pulled away!" ”

Xu Jingzong was dragged away, but the scolding echoed in the court.

He said that Chu Sui's good power leaned towards the government and the opposition, but everyone knew that his words alluded to the eldest grandson Wuji.

Later, the news finally got out.

Chu Suiliang immediately confessed at home.

But there was still an endless stream of people visiting him.

“…… Those people went to Chu's house, and when they came out, they looked like they had drunk wine. ”

Shao Peng was praying.

Li Zhi smiled slightly, "It seems that the more powerful the minister, the more respected by those people." ”

Shao Peng felt a chill down his spine.

Li Zhi said lightly: "Baiqi has been checking him for several months, but can there be results?" ”

Shao Peng said: "Your Majesty, that is...... Chu Suiliang recently bought a house, and the owner of the house is a Chinese translator. ”

The so-called Chinese book translator is the translator of the Chinese book province. When Zhongshu Province received documents from foreign vassals, it needed these translators to translate them.

Li Zhi's eyes lit up, and he said lightly: "I know." ”

Then he instructed: "Let people go to Chu's house and invite Chu Suiliang to return to the court." ”

Shao Peng came to Baiqi early and discussed with Tang Xu.

"Your Majesty has been suppressed so much, I'm afraid I want to do it." Shao Peng was a little excited.

As an internal servant, he is naturally the emperor's party, a small circle, he sees it in his eyes, he is anxious in his heart, and he can't wait to chop all the uncles with one knife and chop them up, and make them into meat sauce for dinner.

Tang Xu's face was solemn, "That matter is safe, but if they don't want to ......"

What if the eldest grandson Wuji and others are supporting Chu Suiliang?

Shao Peng said hatefully: "A group of thieves! There is no place to die. ”

……

No one could see the emperor's movements clearly, nor did they see it.

On the second day, the superintendent Shi Wei Siqian came up.

"Your Majesty, this matter is so inappropriate......

Chu Suiliang talked endlessly in the court, and when he talked about the excitement, there was foam looming at the corner of his mouth.

The most addictive thing is not women, but rights.

The power is in hand, even the emperor has to bow his head to the happiness, I won't change it if you give it to a fairy.

Li Zhi smiled, "This matter should be considered again." ”

He is like a boat in the wind and waves, unable to tell when it will capsize.

The monarchs and ministers in the court were 'happy', and some people said with relief: "This is the scene of the prosperous world!" ”

"Your Majesty!"

An attendant came in and said, "Inspector Yu Shi Wei Siqian asks to see you!" ”

Li Zhi was stunned and said, "But something?" ”

"Say there's something important."

Li Zhi nodded, "Then let him come." ”

Later, a middle-aged official with a calm expression walked in.

He glanced at the ministers, his eyes were cold, and then he saluted and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers impeached Chu Suiliang in the middle book......"

Chu Suiliang was on the rise, and he was furious when he heard the words.

Li Zhi said dissatisfiedly: "Chu Qing acts steadily and fairly, where does the so-called impeachment come from?" If it's not right, I will punish it severely! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji glanced at this person, remembering that this person was born in the imperial examination, passed the Jinshi examination, and was promoted all the way, which is an extremely solid resume, which is rare at this moment.

But is he crazy today, and he dares to impeach Chu Suiliang.

Wei Siqian raised his head and said, "Your Majesty, Chu Suiliang bought his subordinate's house at a low price!" ”

it!

Wang Zhongliang has been listless for the past few days, and when he heard this at this moment, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Li Zhi was the same, he was surprised and said, "Is this so?" ”

Then he forced a smile again, "I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding in this matter." ”

Wei Siqian said toughly: "Your Majesty, the minister is to supervise the imperial history, if this matter is inappropriate, the minister will ask for the guilt." ”

If you don't check it, if you don't check it, I'll resign.

This is the style of the straight man of steel, no, the history of steel.

The eldest grandson Wuji felt that this person was looking for death, but when he looked back at Chu Suiliang, he found that this little brother had a dull face.

"Chu Qing." Li Zhiwan said: "I know Chu Qing's personality very well, I'm afraid this matter is a misunderstanding, right?" ”

This is to let Chu Suiliang defend himself.

Chu Suiliang got up and said, "Your Majesty, your ...... It is true that he bought the land of his subordinates, but the price was negotiated between the two parties, not coercion. ”

He said the land, and Wei Siqian said the house. The difference in the price of land and land plus house is huge.

"Ridiculous!" Wei Siqian said: "Chu Xiang is a Zhongshu order, and the translator is a small official in Zhongshu Province, and Zhongshu Ling buys land from subordinate officials...... If he has sinned against the sin he has sinned, according to the law, the officials who are in prison, and those who receive the goods and goods that are in prison, shall be given forty lashes per foot, and one horse plus one degree; Eight horses for one year, eight horses plus one class; Fifty horses flow two thousand miles. The minister earnestly requests that the value of this case be ascertained and punished according to the law. ”

The prisoner is the superior, and the prisoner is the subordinate.

In other words, this is Shangguan accepting bribes from his subordinates. According to the value of the case, there is a corresponding punishment.

Chu Suiliang glanced at the eldest grandson Wuji, "Your Majesty, the Qing is self-purifying......"

!

The eldest grandson Wuji saw a void in his eyes in this eye.

This fool made such a mistake.

What is the clear self-purification, this is the court!

Sure enough, Wei Siqian was furious, "This is the court, except for Your Majesty, where is the Qing from to clear himself?" ”

Except for the emperor's mistakes, he can't be held accountable to death, where did the others get this qualification?

Wei Siqian's words were aggressive, and Li Zhi hesitated, "This matter ......"

Looking at the indecisive emperor, the eldest grandson Wuji sighed and said, "Your Majesty, you can let Dali Temple investigate the case." ”

The prime minister committed a crime, so naturally he couldn't let any bad people investigate, and Dali Temple did this job.

Li Zhi sighed, and looked at Wei Siqian's eyes with more dissatisfaction, "That's fine." ”

Later the crowd went out.

Wei Siqian's steps were steady and firm, and the prime ministers behind him were silent.

He always remembered what he said when he first became the supervisor of the imperial history: "If the imperial history walks out of Chang'an, if you can't shake one side and shock the state and county, it is a dereliction of duty."

Now that he is in the court, it will naturally shake the court and make the traitors fearful.

"Wei Siqian!"

Chu Suiliang's voice came from behind him.

Wei Siqian turned his head and looked at Chu Suiliang who came with blazing eyes.

Chu Suiliang said lightly: "Who are you instructing?" ”

Wei Siqian pointed to his chest, "A certain is dictated by conscience." ”

Chu Suiliang smiled, "Be cautious in doing things." ”

This is an extremely subtle threat.

Three years later, as soon as Chu Suiliang returned to Chang'an, he launched a crazy revenge, and Wei Siqian, who impeached him, was immediately driven out of Chang'an City and went to serve as a county magistrate below. If it weren't for someone to protect him, Wei Siqian was afraid that he wouldn't even be able to save his life.

Wei Siqian glanced at him deeply, and said seriously: "Some people have lived for more than 100 years, and everyone praises them, but he is mediocre every day for more than 100 years, and he only knows how to make profits for himself. If you die at this moment, you should boast of history! ”

You Chu Suiliang is a lot old, but you have a hard life, and you only know that for your own plans, even if you live to be a hundred years old, you are a rice worm.

And I, Wei Siqian, am forty years old, and I died for the country, and I died a well-deserved death!

Wei Siqian bowed slightly, turned to leave.

He walked firmly, with his head held high.

Chu Suiliang lost his mind for a moment, and then scolded in a low voice: "Slut! ”

He turned around, and the eldest grandson Wuji slowly stepped forward, with more dissatisfaction between his eyebrows, "But is there such a thing?" ”

Chu Suiliang smiled dryly: "Auxiliary, old man......"

"Stupid! Very foolish! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji scolded in a low voice: "Is your family poor in money? If it's bad, just go to the old man, how much is the difference in buying land, and the old man will help you make up for it? Why buy at a low price? What's even more stupid is that you actually bought the land of your subordinate officials, which is to give people a handle. ”

He was so angry that he wanted to do it, "The old man has never seen such a stupid thing in his life, you!" ”

Chu Suiliang blushed and said: "Auxiliary, the old man is just confused for a while. ”

"You're not confused, but triumphant, and then unscrupulous!"

The eldest grandson Wuji scolded him for a long time, and then dispersed.

Back in his own place, the eldest grandson Wuji thought about it carefully.

"Xianggong."

Staff member Zheng Yuandong came.

"What?" The eldest grandson Wuji rubbed his eyebrows.

Zheng Yuandong smiled and said: "Someone from the family came before, saying that the carriage of the family had touched a passer-by, and the passer-by scolded the money, saying that he was going to sue the official...... Later, the family was pressed down. ”

"Got it." The eldest grandson Wuji knew that the so-called collision must have hit someone. Most of the money is cried by the victim, and the family refuses to give the money......

And to press down is to use the power of the eldest grandson's family to put pressure on the officials.

Thinking that his eldest grandson Wuji is so powerful, who would dare to put a beak?

Especially at the beginning of the year, someone in Luoyang accused Changsun Wuji of rebellion, and the emperor did not hesitate to order Luoyang officials to kill this person, and the power of Changsun Wuji was simply scorching and unstoppable.

There is no temperature in the eyes of the eldest grandson Wuji, as for the people, in his eyes, they are just tools, farming, and working......

After Zheng Yuandong left, the eldest grandson Wuji asked, "Zhang Rui, the young secretary of Dali Temple...... Remember it's our people, right? ”

"Yes."

The corners of the eldest grandson Wuji's mouth curled slightly, "Tell Zhang Ruiji, press down on this matter!" ”
