Chapter 391: Impeachment of Du Zhenglun

Li Chengqian never expected that Yu Suiliang would stab Du Zhenglun and Liu Xiangdao in the back.

Li Chengqian, who was angry for a while, lost his brain, although Li Chengqian did not particularly reuse Yu Suiliang since the crossing, but he still trusted his character and knowledge, but he didn't expect it......

Li Chengqian didn't want to think about it now, and walked quickly towards the Chengen Hall with Liu Kui's support.

"Concubines, see His Royal Highness the Prince!"

"Son-in-law, see father."

……

When I walked to the door of the Cheng'en Palace, I saw the crown princess leading the Li Xiang brothers and Wang Liangdi out to greet them.

Li Chengqian suddenly stood on his feet, barely showed a smile and said, "Let's all be flat!" He walked inside.

The crown princess and others all knew that Li Chengqian was unhappy when he was admonished by the minister in the Chongjiao Hall today, and when they saw Li Chengqian's depressed expression at this time, they all cautiously followed up.

------------------------

When Yu Suiliang and Yan Shigu walked out of the East Palace, night had fallen, and their entourage was waiting at the gate of the East Palace with their horses.

Yan Shigu, who had been silent along the way, suddenly looked back at Jiafumen when he got on the horse, and said lightly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise!" ”

Yu Suiliang knew that this was a sarcasm for stabbing him in the back, and watched Yan Shigu leave without looking back, sighed in his heart, and said secretly: I am dedicated to His Royal Highness the Prince, I have a clear conscience, and I don't have to care about others' reputation.

Thinking of this, he also glanced back at Jiafumen, and thought that Li Chengqian did not listen to his advice, and felt both helpless and disappointed.

Finally, he turned his head sharply and muttered, "It seems that tomorrow I can only advise with the ministers!" ”

------------------------

That night, Li Chengqian rested in the Chengen Hall after having a banquet with the crown princess Su and Wang Liangdi.

On the second day, because the pilgrimage was to be held in the Jiade Palace, Liu Kui was called up before dawn, washed and changed clothes, and prepared to go to the Jiade Palace.

Li Chengqian walked out of the Cheng'en Gate and saw the new East Palace Right Guard led the general Liang Jianfang, the prince's family commander Pei Xingjian, the prince's servant ordered Wang Fangyi, the prince's commander Cheng Wuting and the officials of the various bureaus in Taifang Neifang were all dressed up and led a group of subordinate officials to wait here to escort him to the Jiade Palace.

"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"

Seeing Li Chengqian come out, the ministers bowed and saluted together.

Li Chengqian said calmly: "Flat!" "With that, he walked straight up to his shoulders and got up.

Because it is walking in the East Palace, all the subordinates are walking around.

It was the darkest time before dawn, so the lanterns and torches that Li Chengqian had to pass through the road, plus the lantern torches in the hands of the entourage, and their group went straight to the Jiade Hall like a fire dragon.

At this time, the Garter Hall was also brightly lit.

In front of the palace, the crown prince's halogen book has been opened, all kinds of flags, feather fans, umbrella covers, etc. on the terrace in front of the palace are hunting in the night wind, the corridor on both sides of the hall, the terrace in front of the hall and the two sides of the Danqi are the soldiers of the six rates of the East Palace, each holding a war halberd, a giant axe, and a yellow Yue guard.

In the square below, hundreds of ministers stood solemnly in ceremonial dresses, looking up at the glorious and majestic honor guard of the crown prince's palace above, waiting for the court meeting to begin.

In the Tang Dynasty, the crown prince supervised the state and the emperor was basically the same, except that the etiquette was slightly reduced by one or two, and then the ministers stood according to the order of the official positions of the East Palace.

When an important official who does not have an official position in the East Palace is in charge of the crown prince, the imperial court will grant an official position in the East Palace accordingly, but Li Chengqian is troublesome and although he ordered the official position, the title is still according to the original official title.

The temperature was not high on the morning at the end of October, and a cold wind blew several old ministers couldn't help but shrink their necks and look up to see when Li Chengqian would come.

Suddenly, there was a melodious sound of salute music from the balcony above, and the ministers below knew that Li Chengqian had arrived, so they couldn't help but look towards the terrace.

Li Chengqian sat on his shoulders until he came down from the door of the main hall, and helped Liu Kui into the main hall step by step, followed by the lupin umbrella cover, and two rows of Qianniu guards with knives escorted and followed steadily.

Li Chengqian sat down on the throne, and these people also guarded the left and right, and the solemn and sacred Li Chengqian on the throne made people feel reverence when they saw it from afar.

After everything continued, Li Chengqian raised his hand and signaled to Liu Kui, and ordered the ministers to enter the hall.

Liu Kui took a step forward with a solemn expression, and said in a long voice: "Hundred officials go to court!" ”

Someone outside the hall continued to pass the order, so the order was passed out again and again, straight to the Jiade Hall Square, the ministers heard the sound before lining up to enter the hall, the palace attendant Yushi in the crowd to check whether there was no one walking according to etiquette.

After the hundred officials entered the main hall and lined up, they saluted Li Chengqian, who was on the throne, and hundreds of people said in unison: "See His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Li Chengqian said expressionlessly: "Zhongqing is flat!" ”

Liu Kui raised his throat again and shouted: "Hundred officials are flat!" ”

"His Royal Highness Prince Xie!"

……

Such a dynasty is actually an ideological education for hundreds of officials, so that they know that the imperial power is sacred and the emperor and crown prince are great.

There can be no sloppiness in etiquette at all, and everyone from Li Chengqian to the hundred officials has completed this ceremony very seriously, so under normal circumstances, the court just promulgates some edicts, and basically does not discuss matters.

After the hundred officials saluted and returned to their seats, Liu Kui stood up directly and said: "If there is something to play, there is nothing to retreat." ”

Zhang Xingcheng, who was sitting in the front row, breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, Liu Kui said this, which shows that Li Chengqian does not intend to directly announce the implementation of the new official selection law.

At the same time, it also made them feel that there was nothing wrong with yesterday's arrangement, although Li Chengqian has always been strong, but this time he is still more cautious in the face of the counterattack of the possible world's corporal clan. I think that Li Chengqian will be more likely to give in later, and as long as he goes to the root cause of the bane in one fell swoop today, no one will mention the matter of reforming the election of officials in the future.

Seeing that no official stood up after Liu Kui's decree, Li Chengqian thought that there might be no one to play today, and was about to order Liu Kui to announce his retirement from the court, but he saw an official slowly walking out of the queue of supervising the imperial history.

Li Chengqian felt that it was wrong when he saw it, supervising the imperial history is usually sparse, how did he come out of the court today?

Without waiting for Li Chengqian to think about it, the supervising imperial historian had already walked to the center of the main hall, and after saluting upwards, he said in a sonorous voice: "The minister supervising the imperial historian Zhang Wenqian has something to report. ”

The other ministers in the hall were also shocked when they saw this, the superintendent of the imperial history is a positive eight-grade official, what is there to play in the court?

Don't look at Li Shimin's good advice, it also depends on the person, and those who dare to admonish in the hall must at least be officials at the level of Zhongshu Sheren and Counselor Doctor.

"What's going on?" Li Chengqian's voice was faint, and he couldn't hear any joy or anger.

"The three major crimes of the minister's impeachment of the Ministry of Officials, Shangshu Du Zhenglun......" Zhang Wenqian said unhurriedly.

The ministers in the hall who were still unknown couldn't help but open their mouths when they heard this, and looked at Zhang Wenqian in surprise.

Du Zhenglun can be said to be Li Chengqian's dead party, he was belittled by Li Shimin because of his support for Li Chengqian, and he was just recalled to Chang'an by Li Chengqian to entrust him with important tasks, and now impeaching Du Zhenglun and others is a slap in the face of Li Chengqian......

Sure enough, the next moment, Li Chengqian's cold voice sounded in the hall and asked, "I don't know what are the three major sins of Du Qing's family?"

When Li Chengqian said this, he sat on the throne and looked at the hundred officials in the main hall, and he knew that this Zhang Wenqian must have been instructed by someone when he came out, in order to prevent Li Chengqian from thinking about reforming the election.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the minister heard that Du Zhenglun was in the former Sui, the three brothers were all talented, since this trip to study and be an official, no one lives to serve their parents, the son said: 'Parents are not far away, there must be a way to travel' Du Zhenglun three brothers, regardless of their parents' old eunuchs to travel to other places, this is not filial piety.

Moreover, Du Zhenglun Zhen was a living man in his early years, and he leaked the secret words of the forbidden China many times, and was later demoted to Jiaozhou by His Majesty, so it is really difficult to be loyal.

In addition, recently, it was rumored in Chang'an City that when Du Zhenglun was the governor of Jiaozhou, he was greedy for money and lustful, and when he returned to Chang'an, he brought back several cars of South China Sea pearls.

It is really difficult to convince the public that such a disloyal, unfilial, greedy and unclean person like Du Zhenglun is in the court, and he asks His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to hand over Du Zhenglun to the Division for investigation and interrogation! ”
