Chapter 396: Quelling the Chaos

Li Chengqian sat on the throne and sipped slowly with a teacup, looking coldly at the ministers below and looking through the music in the box.

Du Zhenglun also took out a few copies to read, but after only reading two copies, he blushed and had a thick neck, chirping and panting, eager to find the person who impeached him desperately.

These scolds him are too cruel.

Du Zhenglun couldn't stand it, and when he put down the song, he heard Zhang Xingcheng, who was sitting in front, also humming angrily, and couldn't help but show a cold light in his eyes.

I saw Zhang Xingcheng pick up a piece of music and look at it twice, so he threw it on the small table next to him, picked up another copy and looked at it twice and then threw it away, and the small table next to him was full of messy notes.

While looking at it, he couldn't stop humming and shaking his head, obviously he was also at a loss, Du Zhenglun sneered in his heart when he saw this: The old man is playing tricks, and he is still acting coyly.

But looking up at Li Chengqian, who was on the throne, he sighed in his heart: Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is embarrassed by the old man, this matter must not be good, the old man does not have to plan for the prince, so I have to resign from my official position to temporarily calm down the matter, so as to wait for the coming day.

At this time, Yu Suiliang watched several notes in a row, and saw that these people had no intention of giving Du Zhenglun a way to live, and couldn't help but think in his heart: No matter what, now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't keep Du Zhenglun, but even if he wants to abandon Du Zhenglun, he has to find a way to help His Royal Highness the Crown Prince resolve the grievances of the hundred officials against him.

Although Yu Suiliang is selfish, he is a person who keeps his promises, and he only thinks about abiding by the rules to ensure that Datang continues to develop along the momentum of previous years, and he is also dedicated to Li Chengqian.

It's just that when he pretended to look at Du Zhenglun casually, there were also some ill-intentioned eyes that swept over him from time to time.

Li Yifu has always been dissatisfied with Yu Suiliang's pressure on him, but he is afraid that Li Chengqian will not dare to do evil, and now that he has hated Li Chengqian, he naturally thinks that his opportunity has come. The other ministers in the hall also put down a few notes after reading them, and sighed in their hearts.

Except for Liu Dewei, he is Li Chengqian's confidant, so he naturally knows that Du Zhenglun wrote this note at the behest of Li Chengqian, but now he wants to push Du Zhenglun out to prevent the disaster, and he doesn't feel that he is all related.

Li Chengqian looked up at the light of the sun at the entrance of the hall and knew that it was almost noon, so he put down the teacup, looked at Zhang Xingcheng and Yu Suiliang and asked lightly, "Aren't you pretending to be smart?" Why don't you even have that idea?"

Both of them blushed when they heard this, and they didn't know what to say.

Li Chengqian endured the unhappiness in his heart and stopped looking at them, and said to everyone: "The lonely king regards you as the ministers of the humerus, and whenever there is a political matter to discuss here, he will come up with a plan before he will issue an edict." It is hoped that there will be as few erroneous decrees as possible, and that after the decree is issued, you will be able to work with the Lone King to promote the implementation of the decree.

But some of you want to turn this place into a hall of words, and only he can speak, and if others have a slight disagreement, they will want to get rid of it as soon as possible.

Doing things recklessly, putting the Lone King and the court in a difficult situation, but now you know that you are wrong?"

Although this was said to everyone, they all knew that this was teaching Zhang Xingcheng a lesson.

Poor Zhang Xingcheng is also almost sixty years old, and the old face that was said was flushed for a long time before he looked like a child, got up and lowered his head and said, "The minister knows that he is wrong." ”

It's more embarrassing than a beating.

Li Chengqian glanced at Zhang Xingcheng and turned his head to look at Yu Suiliang, who saw Li Chengqian's gaze, and his face turned red.

He is Li Chengqian's teacher, Li Chengqian has always respected his henchmen in the East Palace, and now everyone else is good enough to admit their mistakes in public, which is really a little unacceptable.

Yu Suiliang sat there, his face blue and white for a while, and he didn't move for a while.

The needles in the hall could be heard, and they all looked at Yu Suiliang, who was like a thousand catties of heavy burden, and he just couldn't get up.

It wasn't until Li Chengqian and the others were impatient and snorted heavily that he stood up and lowered his head, and said in a very low voice: "The minister also knows that he is wrong." ”

Li Chengqian turned his gaze to the side, and continued: "Since you know that you are wrong, then let's talk about how to solve the matter, shall we?"

Li Chengqian paused when he said this, and seeing that everyone didn't mean to speak, he continued: "This matter seems to be a trivial matter, but it is related to the majesty of the imperial court and the law. The chaos of the imperial court's election system is obvious to all, and Du Qing's family is not at fault for raising this matter.

If the court is not allowed to discuss anything, then Yu Qing often advises the lonely king to listen to both the clear and not to say anything about sinners, so where to start?

Therefore, the lone king will not give in to this matter, if he gives in this time, the person who picks the head thinks that he can make waves in the court.

The courtiers below don't know how much power they think he has, and in the future, they will take the lead in major affairs of the court, and they will form a party.

They can't get used to Du Qing's family today, so they launched an impeachment, and the lonely king deposed Du Qing's family, and he wants to be the prime minister tomorrow?

If the lone king gives in again and again, they will be insatiable, and sooner or later they will take the road of changing the prince and the emperor. ”

Li Chengqian said that Zhang Xingcheng and Yu Suiliang both regretted their deaths, Zhang Xingcheng is now the prime minister, and Yu Suiliang has always regarded himself as a princeling, and he is the most unwilling to have chaos in the court.

If Lu Chengqing really succeeds this time, it is not as simple as stepping down as a Du Zhenglun, but also hitting the prestige of Li Chengqian, the prince of the prison country, if the East Palace is unstable......

Thinking about the death of so many ministers in the past year, none of the civil ministers, military generals, princes, and relatives involved in this have a good end.

Now that the court has finally calmed down, it was ruined in his own hands.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel remorseful, and looked at Li Chengqian with great guilt.

Li Chengqian was also looking at them, and when he saw them looking up, he said in an unquestionable tone: "Since this matter started by you, then you will jointly write a letter of impeachment against Lu Chengqing and Zhang Wenjun, form a party for personal gain, and fight together with the party, and then personally lead people to raid their homes." ”

The ministers in the palace couldn't help but open their mouths wide when they heard this, thinking to themselves how Li Chengqian could come up with such a damaging idea.

The reason why Lu Chengqing was able to know the content of Du Zhenglun's performance was that Zhang Xingcheng leaked it to him, to put it bluntly, he was doing things for Zhang Xingcheng, the prime minister.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, there are many officials who have been impeached now, if only Lu Chengqing and Zhang Wenqian are punished, I am afraid it will be difficult to settle this matter." Xu Jingzong frowned deeply.

The other ministers in the hall also nodded, but they couldn't think of an idea for a while.

Li Chengqian was about to speak when he saw Li Yifu stand up and said, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, is there a way for the minister to settle this matter?"

The ministers couldn't help but look at Li Yifu, Li Yifu is only thirty years old this year, and he is young in the hall. Although Li Yifu was reused by Li Chengqian, he was never proud on weekdays, and he smiled and bowed politely when he saw everyone, and his ministers did not have a bad impression of him.

"What's the solution?" Li Chengqian asked lightly.

Hearing this, Li Yifu hurriedly saluted again and said: "His Royal Highness the Prince, in recent years, the center of gravity of the imperial court has been in the north, and it is rare to send the imperial history to inspect Jiangnan, Jiangdong and other prefectures and counties.

One inspected the implementation of the imperial decrees, and then brought some "Notes on the Four Books" personally annotated by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and sent them to these local state schools and county schools to promote the education of the imperial court. ”

When Li Chengqian was still thinking about it, the other ministers all agreed, especially Yu Suiliang looked at Li Yifu's teachable appearance and regarded Li Yifu as a fellow believer.

However, Li Chengqian saw Li Yifu's gaze and couldn't stop glancing at Suiliang, and he understood it as soon as his heart moved.

"If you have no objection to what Li Qing plays, then the Ministry of Rites will take the lead, and the Yuqing family will lead the imperial history of the Yushitai to Jiangnan in the name of the imperial court Xuanhua envoy." This matter does not need to be written, Li Chengqian directly ordered.

Seeing that the opinions of the high-level of the imperial court were unified, Li Chengqian immediately issued an order to deal with Lu Chengqing, Zhang Wenqian and others.

Some of the imperial historians who participated in the impeachment of Du Zhenglun thought that Zhang Xingcheng was the mastermind of this matter, but they saw Zhang Xingcheng and his soldiers raiding Lu Chengqing's house, which made some ministers who followed the trend dare not move for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the Ministry of Rites' attendant Yu Suiliang led ten inspectors of the imperial history, and was ordered to go out of Beijing to inspect Jiangnan East Road and Jiangnan West Road.

The two decrees came at once, and the court was temporarily quiet.
