Taichu Palace, Wucheng Palace, Wuhou Chang Dynasty.

Imperial historian Ge Hui, reported on the impeachment case of Li Chongfu.

Guanglu Siqing Yuan Wei confessed, because he coveted the wealth of the Sogdians, he was greedy, and encouraged Liu Yixing, the prince's concubine, to accept bribes from the Sogdians, and agreed to divide the fat between the two afterwards.

"Yuan Wei confessed his guilt and repented, it can be seen that his conscience is not clear" Empress Wu was quite touched, and sighed, "I think of the ministers and hundreds of officials, not necessarily all of them are born rich and noble, and they may not all have surplus wealth, Yuan Wei is a relative of the emperor and the country, and he is in Jiuqing, and the money is still lost, and he is still losing his heart, painstakingly scheming, and making a great move, and many officials in Hedong Province and Shannan Province have formed a party for personal gain because of money, and it is a common thing to corrupt the place"

"I rule the world, dictate the cadres, and reward the world, never fall, not to abandon the ministers and officials, in fact, to the ministers and officials as a whole, both the monarch and the minister, and to govern the world together, then the young government supervisors are like the sea, the brocade is like clouds, and the livelihood of hundreds of officials is cramped, it is not reasonable"

"Spread my will, from now on, the public secretary and hundreds of officials, in addition to the Lu, there is also a compassionate silver, since the Shaofu superintendent should be supported, there is a division to draw up a charter, and report to me"

"Your Majesty Shengming, thank you for Your Majesty's grace" The courtiers brushed out of the class and knelt on the ground in the main hall.

Empress Wu flicked the sleeves of her robe, "Get up, I hope that you can read my compassion, and don't do that greedy thing again, dignified officials, stealing chickens and touching dogs, I am panicked when I hear it."

The courtiers pleaded guilty again, showed their loyalty, and each returned.

"Ge Aiqing, what do you think should be done with the people involved in the case?" Empress Wu asked Ge Hui again.

Ge Hui naturally heard the sound outside the strings, Wu Hou killed the local officials of Hedong Province and Shannan Province before the end of the year, but he did not want the court to make waves due to corruption.

"The minister thinks that Yuan is the first evil, for selfish desires to cause trouble to the government, should be dismissed from office, deposed from the court, Liu Yixing is a coercion, evil deeds are not good, when the official is demoted to the third level, release Shannan Province for the history of Xiazhou, Yixing County King Li Chongjun, when there is a crime of lax discipline, it is appropriate to apply for punishment"

For a magnificent court dispute, this disposition can be regarded as a gentle drizzle.

"Very good, Ge Aiqing discussed the crime properly, so he will do it accordingly" Empress Wu didn't even go through the motions, and went straight to the final word, "Chongjun there, there should also be some lessons, in addition to applying for punishment, take away the lack of Luoyang pastoral officials under his leadership"

"Quan Ce, what do you think?"

This question is quite pertinent.

"Your Majesty is wise" Quan Ce naturally did not dare to object, but he did not make any further statements, such as withdrawing the letter of resignation from Li Chongjun's position as the master of civil and martial arts.

"You," Empress Wu snorted lightly, "I have said many times, the children of the royal family, if there are unscrupulous people, you can discipline them more, Chongjun has negligence, you have to resign, if Quan Zhu is at fault, do you have to deny your brother?" ”

Quan Ce's face froze, and he was speechless for a while.

What Empress Wu used was the logic of a very robber, the negligence he created for Li Chongjun was not ordinary, it was a black hand against himself, in this case, could he still be held responsible because he was Li Chongjun's teacher?

"Your Majesty" in the prime minister's class, stood up Wang Fangqing, and said with a smile, "The minister thinks that the original intention of the right minister should be that the government affairs are busy, and it is difficult to take into account the two positions of the master of Wang Wenwu of Yixing County."

With a good hand, Wang Fangqing was full of kindness, and nodded with a smile at Quan Ce.

Quan Ce tugged at the corners of his mouth, Li Chongjun himself suffered an unwarranted disaster, and it was inconvenient for him to be too tough.

"In this way, according to what Wang Xiang said, the post of Master Wen will be taken over by Wei Chuhou" Empress Wu responded very quickly, the corners of her mouth collapsed, as if she remembered something, "Li Chongfu, the king of Ping'en County, has great merit, and gives the king of the county double money"

There was a commotion among the courtiers.

Wei Chuhou is the head of the Hanlin Academy, the power of the Hanlin Academy is getting heavier, he is not only a close minister of the Empress Wu, a clear stream in the literary world, but also serves as a local chief examiner and a central tribute examination examiner in the imperial examination, the real power is in his hands, Wei Chuhou as a leading figure, is not what it used to be.

left a power strategy for Li Chongjun, and gave a Wei Chuhou to Li Chongjun's side, which is much more cost-effective than Luoyang Mu's false position.

On the contrary, Li Chongfu, who exposed the matter, seemed to have benefited, but it was false and untrue.

Empress Wu first suppressed and then promoted, and supported Li Chongjun, once again showing that he wanted stability and did not want the East Palace to regenerate.

"Your Majesty, the prince of the country, the priest Jiu Ming Shanbin and other troublesome ministers, have been detained for a few days, how to deal with it, and ask Your Majesty to judge" Ge Hui played again.

"Ming Shanbin and others don't know the general situation, corrupt the dynasty, and take thirty swords with a cane, and dismiss the official and exile" Empress Wu was a little impatient.

Many courtiers exchanged glances, and the guilty Yuan Wei and others, Ming Shanbin and others, who were careless and did not know the truth, and made trouble in groups, were severely punished.

Between the leniency and severity of the Empress Wu, her attitude is clear at a glance, and she doesn't like people who cause trouble for her.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that although Ming Shanbin is at fault, but his ethics are commendable, and his prestige in Shilin is quite high, Taiyuan Wang's Academy is completed, and Shilin is in need of fame, and the minister asks His Majesty to be gracious and lightly dismissed" Quan Ce hurriedly stepped forward to intercede.

Empress Wu looked at Quan Ce with great interest, and smiled, "Well, since I have opened my mouth, I will send you a personal favor, let Ming Shanbin go to Bingzhou to be a mountain chief, and it is also a good way to reflect on the way of ministers."

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Quan Ce thanks.

The monarch and the ministers were harmonious, the Empress Wu showed the emperor's grace, and the power of Quan Ce also tried his best to take care of the old man in the literary world, and won the prestige of Qingliu Ya.

Play their proper role.

As for the people who followed Ming Shanbin to make trouble, no one mentioned it, so he could only consider himself unlucky.

The dust of the case has settled, and the government is back on track.

The Empress Wu is already lacking in interest, governing government is governing people, just now she is strong in spirit, grace and power at the same time, and it takes a lot of energy, just to pick up people's hearts, as for the government affairs, cumbersome things, she doesn't care.

Tianguan Yamen reported a group of court official transfers, and she paid a little attention to it, Xinyang Wang Wu Chongmin was transferred from the head of the Prime Minister's Mansion to the crown prince Zuo Wei rate, and couldn't help but chuckle lightly, and glanced at the silent power policy under the steps.

Although there are occasional qi seizures here, she knows her thoughts best, and if she puts Wu Chongmin into the East Palace, the East Palace will be more powerful and can reverse the weak situation in one fell swoop, but it is unknown.

Because of the delay of the case, it was already past noon when the court was dispersed.

Quan Ce did not go to Xuanren Gate to be on duty again, and went directly out of the palace gate.

On the way, there was a small chamberlain waiting in front of him, as if he had been waiting for a long time, his face was full of anxiety, and when he saw Quan Ce, he rushed over, "Right Minister, Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is invited."

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, do you have an explanation, what is the matter?" Kwon frowned.

"His Royal Highness said that there is a new batch of dishes in the East Palace, please have lunch with the right minister" The little waiter is obviously parroting.

Quan Ce looked up, looked at the sun in the west, and smiled dumbly.
