After the sacrifice was completed here, Li Jun began the regular three sacrifices of worshipping the sky, the earth, and the ancestors, and the first two were completed quickly, but there was an accident when worshipping the ancestors.

Because when worshipping ancestors, not only the emperor needs to sacrifice to his ancestors with gold tools, but all the princes and princes also need to hand over a part of the gold objects, Li Jun took a sacrificial gold vessel casually, and then accidentally fell to the ground, and the gold utensils immediately fell in half, and the inside was not the color of gold, but a piece of white.

This white color was very dazzling, and Li Jun said angrily: "It is a regular order." ”

"The minister is here." Gongsun Kun stood up tremblingly.

Li Jun said coldly: "This is the gold artifact that you usually check, and you dare to take out such a thing to fool the ancestors and ancestors, it is really unreasonable." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged, it has been like this in previous years." Gongsun Kun shouted injustice.

Li Jun threw a broken gold artifact to Yin Shijing and said, "Tell them, what is this?" ”

Yin Shijing immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this is a layer of gold on top of the lead vessel. ”

Li Jun angrily threw away the defective products in his hand and said: "Come on, put Gongsun Kun and Fengchang in charge of inspecting the sacrificial gold artifacts to prison, and the court lieutenant will find out which marquis contributed these gold artifacts and go to prison together." ”

"Obey." Zhao Yan didn't dare to slack off and replied immediately.

After that, Li Jun took out a lot of gold artifacts from the inner library, and then knelt in front of the ancestral tablet himself, sincerely making amends to the ancestors and ancestors.

Li Jun returned to the palace angrily, he didn't listen to anyone's words, Xiao Wangzhi and Gao Zhe glanced at each other, only to see Gao Zhe shook his head, Xiao Wangzhi scolded with a smile: "Old fox, you know that you won't get involved in this kind of thing, since that's the case, then the old man will go." ”

"Prime Minister, the mountain rain is coming, you have to be careful." Gao Zhe said with concern.

Xiao Wangzhi waved his hand and said: "It's okay, the old man is so old, what are you afraid of, but you can't let Your Majesty come nonsense, they are all courtiers, do you have something to discuss." ”

When everyone heard Xiao Wangzhi's words, they were moved, and arched their hands and said, "Please Lord Xiangguo." ”

Xiao Wangzhi waved his hand indifferently, and then left.

Li Jun returned to Daming Palace and was not furious, because all this was in Li Jun's plan, and last year, there were nearly twenty disobedient marquises, Li Jun couldn't stand it for a long time, so he took advantage of this opportunity today to want to wipe out this group of people, because the means of this matter are a bit dirty, so Li Jun didn't discuss with anyone, just let Jinyiwei's people keep an eye on it, don't be the time to close the net, but the fish ran away.

Soon after Li Jun returned to the palace, Xiao Wangzhi followed, Li Jun didn't think about it, but when he thought about it, it would definitely cause a chain reaction, and if he wanted to control the matter, he also needed Xiao Wangzhi's help, so Li Jun met Xiao Wangzhi.

Xiao Wangzhi saw Li Jun and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, such a big matter, why don't you discuss it with the old minister, this time the matter is too big, and the old minister can't excuse himself." ”

Li Jun smiled and said: "Teacher, it's okay, my main target this time is those marquis who do not cooperate with the new policy of the imperial court, and it has nothing to do with the teacher." ”

Xiao Wangzhi shook his head and said: "It seems that Your Majesty still doesn't understand, this kind of big political event, the prime minister must resign, otherwise it will be difficult to calm down the people's grievances, ordinary people are still pious in worshipping their ancestors, but the royal family has made such a scandal, and if the old minister does not leave, the world will not tolerate it." ”

Li Jun didn't expect this kind of consequence, and said regretfully: "Teacher, I am young and impulsive, is there any way for the teacher to remedy it?" ”

Xiao Wangzhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it is understandable that young people act impulsively, but please remember the lesson of this time, as for the old minister, he is willing to take responsibility, please let Gongsun Kun go, this person will be of great use in the future." ”

When Li Jun heard this, he couldn't hold back any longer, and said to Xiao Wangzhi: "Teacher, I'm sorry for you." ”

After Xiao Wangzhi left, Li Jun's mood has been very lost, he wanted to expel a few moths, how did he end up like this? Li Jun asked himself, he really didn't have the idea of driving Xiao Wangzhi away, it seemed that he would not be able to run away as a mean and unkind person in the future.

Knowing that Li Jun was in a bad mood, Xiao Renjie still came to ask for a meeting, and Li Jun asked listlessly: "Renjie, what's the matter?" ”

Xiao Renjie immediately replied: "Your Majesty, the minister is here to ask for his grandfather's resignation this time." ”

Li Jun sighed and said, "Put it here, by the way, how did the teacher feel when he came home yesterday?" ”

"Your Majesty, my grandfather was in a good mood after returning home yesterday, and he took the minister to drink a glass of wine, and asked the minister to tell His Majesty that the official reform can be implemented, and please don't let go of those moths."

"Renjie, go back and thank the teacher for me, it's all this time, the teacher is still worried about me, I am very ashamed." Li Jun sighed.

Xiao Renjie replied: "Your Majesty, rest assured, Your Majesty's words will definitely be brought by the ministers." ”

After saying that, Xiao Renjie wanted to say goodbye, but Li Jun kept him and said, "Renjie, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Xiao Renjie pondered for a long time and said slowly: "Your Majesty is not wrong in this matter, and neither is your grandfather. ”

"But the last bitter fruit was swallowed by me and your grandfather." Li Jun smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the arrow is on the string, you have to send it, at this time, Your Majesty must not admit your mistake, admit your mistake at this time, it is not easy to explain to the people of the world, Your Majesty might as well make a mistake to the end." Xiao Renjie gritted his teeth and said.

Li Jun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, I and your grandfather are not wrong about you, go back, there will be a storm soon, be careful." ”

"No, the minister takes his leave."

After sending Xiao Renjie away, Li Jun went to see Gongsun Kun in prison, Gongsun Kun shouted "wronged" when he saw Li Jun, Li Jun scolded with a smile: "Okay, I think you are also a man who has been on the battlefield at the beginning, don't want this daughter's posture, hurry up and get out, I have something to tell you." ”

Gongsun Kun immediately wiped his eyes and stood up and said, "Your Majesty has something to do, but please command, the minister will not give up." ”

Li Jun waved his hand and said, "You can be released from prison today, and the official will be reinstated, but I have an excerpt here that you need to propose, remember that you can't disclose it to anyone before the Great Dynasty Meeting." ”

"No." Gongsun Kun hurriedly agreed.

Li Jun took out a fold from his arms and threw it to Gongsun Kun, and left in a dashing manner.

Gongsun Kun opened it and smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, you are pushing me into the fire pit." ”

The content of the fold is very simple, only asking Gongsun Kun to impeach the eighteen marquis led by the Marquis of Liangshan, the crime is very serious, disrespecting the ancestors, in the Tang Dynasty, this is a felony referred to by Qianfu.

If Gongsun Kun's letter is really handed over, it will be difficult for these marquis to turn over.
