Since Han Yi dared to let Wu Meiniang find out about her secret meeting with the eldest grandson Wuji, she was naturally not afraid that Wu Meiniang would tell Li Zhi about it, because at that time, although they were eating three meals, he didn't feel sorry for any party, he was doing his best to run errands for them, and he didn't do anything wrong, taking people's money and eliminating disasters for people, he has always adhered to this belief.

Wu Meiniang wanted to get the eldest grandson Wuji, he made suggestions, and he also instigated the eldest grandson Wuji to fight back and fight to the death with Wu Meiniang, in addition, he also helped Li Zhi to cover up, and was afraid of Li Zhi's reputation.

I really can't fault anything.

He is neither greedy for power nor selfish, but wholeheartedly thinks about the social interests of the Tang Dynasty, and he has not even taken it so far.

And Han Yi's whole plan, it is triggered, the initiative is always not in his hands at the beginning, if Wu Meiniang doesn't do this, then Han Dashan's grave will collapse in vain, where will so many things happen.

It's just that Han Yi knows Wu Meiniang's character, that is ruthless, revenge will be avenged, and he can't tolerate him, and his only protective umbrella is his policy, Wu Meiniang will definitely start from his policy, thereby weakening his position in the court and the hearts of the people.

Say that all this was done by Han Yi?

Han Yi himself couldn't believe it.

Of course, Li Yifu, the best teammate, really has nothing to say, in Han Yi's entire plan, he is definitely a shining point, before he died, he was still desperately defending Han Yi, Han Yi was very moved in his heart, but unfortunately, his value has been squeezed away, Han Yi, as a businessman, naturally will not keep a worthless thing.

However, when Li Zhi came up, he was divided into five horses, and the whole door was beheaded, and the group of important ministers kneeling at the bottom could not be afraid?

Li Zhi turned his eyes to Xu Jingzong again.

Xu Jingzong trembled all over, with tears in his eyes, and looked at Li Zhi full of pleading.

This is like the arrogant and domineering Xu Jingzong who was unstoppable and unstoppable, and no one paid attention to him.

Li Zhi said loudly again: "As for Xu Jingzong, all the official positions and titles I am now exempted from, your property has also been confiscated, go back to your hometown, never set foot in Chang'an again, as for your son Xu Ang, exile to Lingnan." ”

did not kill Xu Jingzong, first, Xu Jingzong was indeed in Luoyang at that time, helping Wu Meiniang to make up the red dust, and Xu Jingzong was smarter, everything was to let Li Yifu be in front, he must have made a lot of benefits, but he did not directly participate, and after all, he made a lot of contributions to Li Zhi, and he was so old that he could not live for a few years, so Li Zhi decided to give him a way to live.

If this was before, Xu Jingzong would definitely jump up with anger, he had this character, but now Xu Jingzong was frightened and did not execute him, for him, it was already a blessing, and he quickly thanked the emperor, and he didn't even dare to say more than half a sentence.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Escort down." ”

Xu Jingzong, who was in power for a while, was driven out of the Liangyi Hall like this, which may be very cruel to him, but this is just a cycle of cause and effect.

That Xin Mao General naturally couldn't escape, but Li Zhi didn't kill him, because he really didn't participate too much, that is, he was relieved of his official position, confiscated his property, and let him go home. In fact, it is somewhat unreasonable to dismiss Xin Maojiang on the charge of his crimes, but Li Zhi has no choice, these people have money at home, and if they are not convicted, there is no way to raid the house, and the country needs money very much now.

General Xin Mao was really angry, and after all, he was inevitably affected by Li Yifu!

Li Zhi said again: "Master Xu, Lu Chengqing, Wei Siqian." ”

"The minister is here."

The three of them said in unison.

Li Zhi glanced at the three of them, sighed, and said: "Although the three of you are not corrupt and pervert the law, but one of you is the secretary of the household department, the other is the secretary of the criminal department, and the other is the imperial historian, but you let Li Yifu and others be corrupt and pervert the law, and I am now exempting you from your official position, do you have anything to say?" ”

"The minister has nothing to say."

Lu Chengqing and Xu Yushi said in unison.

Although the two of them are relatively innocent, they are not completely without responsibility, because when Wu Meiniang proposed the new policy, they all participated, and they all supported the new policy, so they were kidnapped by Li Yifu.

Wei Siqian said: "Thank you Your Majesty for sparing the minister's life, the minister has indeed betrayed Your Majesty's trust, this crime of dereliction of duty, the minister has nothing to say, even if Your Majesty wants to kill the minister, the minister has no complaints." But the minister has not been dismissed yet, and he is still the imperial doctor, so the minister has something to say. ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "What words?" ”

Wei Siqian said: "The main responsibility for this crisis lies with the queen, the new policy was proposed and revised by the queen, and Li Yifu was also recalled by the queen. ”

There is nothing wrong with saying this, it is the queen who is presiding over the revision of the new policy, they are just assisting the queen, and now that the new policy is like this, the queen is not guilty, what am I guilty of.

The rest of the ministers also looked at Li Zhi, a little nervous.

As the so-called wall falls, everyone pushes it.

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Dr. Wei's words are wrong."

Han Yi suddenly stood up and said, "I think the queen is not guilty. ”

Wei Siqian looked at Han Yi and said, "Then I want to listen to Shang Shuling's opinions." ”

Han Yi said: "Because the queen's new policy is not wrong, you yourself say which one is wrong, and the only thing the queen did, that is, revised the new policy, is that Li Yifu did not strictly implement the queen's orders, and even violated the yang and yin, which led to the outbreak of the crisis, so on the matter, of course the queen is not guilty." ”

As soon as the words fell, he immediately cast a surprised gaze.

Li Yifu just exposed the secret meeting between Han Yi and the eldest grandson Wuji, which contained a lot of information, and these ministers were not stupid, they all noticed some clues.

Li Ji hurriedly said: "Shangshu Ling is reasonable, the queen's original intention is still good, but the people below are not executed properly, and the queen cannot be blamed for this." ”

Li Zhi glanced at them gratefully.

In fact, Li Zhi also knows that they are not protecting the queen, but protecting the prince, if the queen is abolished, the prince must be abolished, according to the tradition of the Central Plains, if the eldest son inherits, if Wu Meiniang is abolished, then Li Hong will become a concubine, then it is not right.

Han Yi immediately said: "In the same way, the minister also thinks that Lu Shangshu, Xu Shilang, and Wei Dafu, in this case, there are only minor mistakes, not big mistakes, because they are the same as the queen, and they are still thinking about the country and the people in their hearts, but they are beyond their power and have failed to implement the queen's policies well, but the crime of dereliction of duty is definitely there, and according to my Tang Dynasty regulations, the removal of official positions is a bit too heavy." ”

Li Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Then I don't know what to do with the Shang Shu Order?" ”

Han Yi said: "Weichen thinks that they should be given a chance to make up for their mistakes, it just so happens that Bianzhou, Bozhou, Songzhou and other state capitals are not lacking in the history of assassination, and the minister minds to transfer them there, and the minister believes that they also hope to make up for their mistakes this time." After all, there is no reason for us heroes to make up for this kind of drudgery. Speaking of the latter, he is righteous in his words.

Li Ji glanced at Han Yi, and he was really convinced, in fact, he also wanted to keep Lu Chengqing and them, but he didn't think of any good excuses.

When Li Zhi heard the back, he almost laughed, glared at Han Yi covertly, nodded and said, "Since Shang Shuling intercedes for you, then I will give you another chance, you retreat first, and then arrange." ”

"Wechen thank the emperor."

This queen is not guilty, and you are not guilty, so Wei Siqian has nothing to say.

The three of them saluted, looked at Han Yi gratefully, and then withdrew.

In fact, they really want to make up for it, because they are literati who aspire to be famous and leave history in history, and if they are removed from their official positions in this crisis, they will really be nailed to the pillar of shame, which is a very big blow to them. At first, the three of them were very aggrieved, because they were all from noble backgrounds and attached great importance to reputation.

Li Zhi looked at Liu Xiang again and said, "Liu Shilang, you get up." ”

Liu Xiangdao was already soaked, and he stood up tremblingly, but he was still shaking, and it was not easy to stabilize his figure.

Li Zhi said: "You haven't made any mistakes, stand in your position." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Xiang cried with joy when he heard this, he was so lucky to be able to survive.

He is very lucky, because he is the Zhongshu Shilang and the Ministry of Officials, and that Li Yifu is the Zhongshu Ling's inspection of the Ministry of Shangshu, which directly crushed him to death, Li Yifu almost didn't let him take care of things, he was lucky to escape this catastrophe, Lu Chengqing There is no one above them, so they can only carry it themselves, which is why Han Yi is unwilling to be Shangshuling, Shangshuling is in charge of the six departments, which one has to be responsible, this is really a cheat.

Li Zhi said again: "But this matter is not over, I know that there are still many officials involved, and I must investigate it to the end this time." Di Renjie, eldest grandson Yan, Cui Jijian. ”

"The minister is here."

Di Renjie, Eldest Sun Yan, and Cui Jijian immediately stood up.

"I am now promoting Di Renjie to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the eldest grandson Yan is the waiter of the Criminal Department, and the three of you are responsible for thoroughly investigating this matter."

"Wechen obeys."

This is equivalent to the triage of the three divisions, and Cui Jijian was not promoted, because Cui Jijian was too young, and he was the middle of the imperial history, and there was no way to promote the imperial history doctor, the premise is that he can't be compared with Han Yi, Han Yi has made a lot of great contributions, and he is now a scholar, no one is not convinced, and he himself is not willing to be.

Subsequently, Li Zhi named Wang Xuandao as the Zhongshu Shilang, Liu Xiangdao as the secretary of the ministry, and Ren Zhigu and Lu Shigua as the servants of the men.

They have made a lot of contributions in this crisis, although they are all at the level of squires, but judging from their age, this is definitely an exceptional promotion.

And Li Zhi directly awarded all of them to the three grades of Tongzhongshu this time, that is to say, they are the new prime minister's team.

This is a very big personnel change.

And the significance of this meeting is also here, as soon as Li Zhi came up, he directly disposed of Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong, and it was a land of no return, and he could not be reborn forever, this significance is not only to promote good and punish evil, you must know that Li Yifu has not done bad things before.

This released a very, very important signal, that is, the queen has been completely beaten into the cold palace, because Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong are Wu Meiniang's right-hand men, and this time they cut off their arms, which is a big injury to their vitality, and this is not enough, when Han Yi just came back, he cleared all the forces of Wu Meiniang in the middle and low levels and in Luoyang, which is equivalent to Wu Meiniang's power in the outer court, and the whole army is wiped out, and there is not even scum left.

Li Zhi basically took back all the power in Wu Meiniang's hands, and Wu Meiniang no longer had any qualifications and reasons to interfere in the affairs of the court, and Li Zhi immediately established a new prime minister's team, which was equivalent to blocking the back road to Wu Meiniang. There is only one reason why she didn't use force, and that is because she is the prince's mother, that's all.
