"Weichen Han Yi see Your Majesty."

Han Yi came to the hall and saluted Li Zhi.

"Excuse me!"

Li Zhi raised his hand slightly, there was a slight sadness between his eyebrows, and he said weakly: "Sit down." ”

Han Yi sat down, glanced at Li Zhi, and thought, with your acting skills, if I am a judge, I will definitely give you a lifetime achievement award, as your courtier, I can't lose your face. He said with a worried face: "Your Majesty, this dragon body is important, you have to think about the body!" ”

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine, it's just that this kind of thing happened, I feel uncomfortable!" Speaking of the back, he couldn't help but sigh again.

Han Yi said with concern: "But the matter has come to this, Your Majesty should look at it a little, don't be angry, now the country is thriving, everything is thriving, it is a good time for Your Majesty to work hard and show your strength, Your Majesty should also focus on state affairs." ”

When Li Zhi heard this, he was very relieved and said: "If everyone in the court thinks like you, I will no longer have to worry about it!" ”

This is a big truth, if everyone thinks about the development of the country instead of thinking about power, of course he can sit back and relax.

Han Yi arched his hand and said: "The minister is also a courtier, and my Datang can be today, all thanks to His Majesty's wise decision, and it is precisely because of this that Your Majesty must take care of the dragon body, because your body is related to the society of Datang." ”

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, this kid is really good at talking. Suddenly asked, "By the way, why did you come to see you this time?" ”

Han Yi looked a little hesitant, "Minister---。 ”

Li Zhi smiled: "What? It's all here, what else don't you dare to say, what do you have to do, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”

He thought that Han Yi was here for Xiao Jun, and he didn't plan to move the Xiao family, this matter was easy to talk about, so he hinted that Han Yi should not be shy and speak out boldly.

As everyone knows, Han Yi really didn't expect Xu Jingzong to get Xiao Jun up, because he felt that Xu Jingzong would not even have this awareness, and he also swore to the Xiao family that he would never involve you.

"Wechen obeys."

Han Yi "plucked up the courage" and said: "Your Majesty, the reason for the minister's visit this time has something to do with this case, but this matter is related to the country's social affairs, and the minister has to say that if it is worrying Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty can forgive the minister." ”

Li Zhi was slightly stunned, this is not very similar to interceding with Xiao Jun, Xiao Jun is not enough to affect the national society, pondered for a moment, and said: "I also want to ask your opinion on this case, but you were busy with Cao Yun at the time, so I didn't bother you, just right, you can tell me your opinion on this case." ”

Han Yi hurriedly said: "The evidence in this case is conclusive, and the coffin has been closed, but the minister has nothing to say about it." It's just that recently, the people in the DPRK and China have been panicking, everyone has no intention of doing things, and many things have stalled, and the minister is very worried about this! ”

Li Zhi sighed, "There is such a thing?" ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "That's too --- uh... After all, the eldest grandson has been the prime minister for 30 years, and many officials in the DPRK and China have dealings with their families, and now there are rumors in the DPRK and China, saying that the case will be further expanded, involving many officials, so everyone has no intention of doing anything. According to the latest statistics of our household department, in the recent period, the best business for buying and selling is temples and Taoist temples. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment when he heard the second half of this sentence, and then he reacted, almost lost his temper, glared at Han Yi slightly, and muttered a little before he said: "According to the results of Xu Shizhong's current investigation, there are indeed many officials involved in this case, and I am also very surprised by this, I don't know what you think about this?" ”

In this matter, he is always passive, the list is made by Xu Jingzong, it has nothing to do with him, and he never says what I think it is, but he likes how you think, and it gives people the feeling that he seems to have doubts about this.

Han Yi was silent for a while, and said, "Your Majesty still remembers Wei Zheng." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Han Yi in confusion, this is what he asked, who is Wei Zheng, he can't forget it if he wants to!

Han Yi said: "At the beginning, Wei Zheng was the person of the Hidden Prince, and he also gave advice to the Hidden Prince, suppressed the first emperor, and even wanted to put the first emperor to death. However, the first emperor opened his net, and it was precisely because of the first emperor's net that there was a prosperous era of Zhenguan. Of course, the minister did not mean that the prosperity of Zhenguan was the credit of Wei Zheng alone, but that the people of the world saw from it that the first emperor was thirsty for talent, meritocracy, magnanimity, and determination to make great efforts, so the talented people in the world were willing to come to the first emperor, and it was precisely because of the abundance of talents in the court at that time that in just more than 20 years, a country full of holes was governed in an orderly manner, the country and the people were safe, and the four seas were peaceful. ”

Li Zhi was silent for a moment and asked, "Do you mean to let me open up to them too?" ”

Han Yi said: "The minister just thinks that now the country is developing rapidly, the national strength is thriving, and the territory is even more ancient and modern, but at the same time, it is also the time when talents are most needed, especially those young officials, because whether it is their family or the imperial court, it has taken a lot of effort to cultivate them, if they are lost, it will be difficult to find suitable candidates to make up for it."

And now that Datang is in a period of integration and rapid development, it is impossible to wait for talents to grow, and if one of the links goes wrong, I am afraid that it will cause very bad consequences. It can be seen that this talent is the foundation of governing the country, this money is easy to obtain, and it will be difficult to find, why doesn't Your Majesty open up to those officials who are less guilty and have outstanding abilities. The minister believes that they will be like Wei Zheng, grateful for His Majesty's kindness, work harder to serve His Majesty, follow His Majesty, and at the same time attract more talents to come to the court, serve His Majesty, and create an unprecedented prosperous era. ”

After Li Zhi heard this, he was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "What you said is very reasonable, I will consider it carefully." ”

Han Yi arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Compared with Han Yi's previous tirade, he has very few words today, because of this matter, he knows in his heart that he can't talk too much, and too much will cause Li Zhi's disgust, but his meaning has been expressed very clearly, that is, to imply Li Zhi, you can't generalize and one-size-fits-all, especially those local young officials, they are the future of the country, and the country has spent a lot of energy to cultivate them, now the country is developing at a rapid pace, and there is a shortage of talents, you can't kill these people just because the eldest grandson Wuji is alone, Then who will help you govern the country? The consequences of the talent gap can be very serious.

To sum up, there is one reason for the development of the country.

Because he is not in this case, he has been dealing with state affairs, helping Li Zhi, governing the country, he persuaded from the perspective of national development, that is in line with his consistent style, there will be no sense of disobedience, I don't care about the fight between you, I only care about the development of the country, and now this matter has hindered the development of the country, then I have to stand up and say a few words. Han Yi also knows very well that Li Zhi is ambitious, he is eager to surpass Li Shimin, get out of Li Shimin's era, and create an era that belongs to Li Zhi, and the development of the country is very important in Li Zhi's heart. Especially now in this situation, because he has cleaned up these elders, there is no one to help him take the blame, if the country's development stagnates, then no matter how well he pretends to be, he will be buckled on his head with any.

Of course, first of all, it will not hurt Li Zhi's interests, because this purge is aimed at the elders, and he is protecting those young and promising officials, these people are now small roles, and leaving a few will not endanger the emperor.

After Han Yi left, Li Zhi took out Xu Jingzong's list again, looked at those lists, thought for more than an hour, and suddenly picked up the pen and erased Xiao Jun's name.

For a whole morning, Li Zhi stayed in the Liangyi Palace.

It wasn't until noon that he put down his pen, then handed the list to Zhang Desheng and said, "This list is handed over to Zhongshu Province." ”

"Yes."

Zhang Desheng took the list and said, "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone outside the screen say, "You just said it now, it's already a dereliction of duty." ”

I saw Wu Meiniang walking in with two palace maids and some food.

Zhang Desheng hurriedly said: "The villain should be damned." ”

Li Zhi smiled: "Okay, okay, it's not your fault, you go down." ”

"The villain obeys."

Zhang Desheng glanced at Li Zhi gratefully, and then hurriedly retreated.

Wu Meiniang said angrily: "Your Majesty, look at you to spoil him." ”

Li Zhi smiled and changed the topic: "Has the queen eaten, if not, let's eat with me." ”

Wu Meiniang smiled helplessly again, asked the palace maids to put down the food, and after the palace maids retreated, she asked: "Your Majesty, what are you busy with, you don't even remember to eat." ”

Li Zhi shook his head and sighed: "It's not about the case of my uncle's rebellion, alas... Don't talk about it, eat. ”

Wu Meiniang's eyes flashed a different color, of course she didn't come to deliver food, when Han Yi entered the palace, she had already received the news, Han Yi's actions are what she is most concerned about now, so after Han Yi left, she was waiting for Li Zhi, but she didn't see Li Zhi come back after waiting for a long time, she really couldn't bear it, so she came to the Liangyi Palace, and wanted to find out, you can talk about Han Yi before, Li Zhi usually told her, but this matter was vague, which made her very surprised, and her heart began to drum, what kind of medicine did this Han Yi take.

.....．

And over there, there is only Liu Xiangdao left in Zhongshu Province as a bare-rod commander, and Zhang Desheng can only hand over the list to him, this is the rules and regulations, and this edict must be drafted by Zhongshu Province.

Liu Xiangdao took a look at the list and found that there were many traces of smearing on it, and he was overjoyed, so without saying a word, he immediately drafted an edict.

He was an upright man, so he was very worried that the blow would be too big, and now that Li Zhi seemed to have signs of mercy, he couldn't hesitate.

But he can only do this step, this edict has to be reviewed by the Ministry of Menxia, and finally has to pass Xu Jingzong's pass.

When Xu Jingzong got this piece of music, many people were not on the list, so he came to Zhongshu Province and asked Liu Xiangdao, what is going on? Why are so many people missing from the list?

Liu Xiang was one level lower, and he didn't dare to face Xu Jingzong, he could only say that he was ordered to do things, he didn't know who was on this list, Li Zhi was very tight, and he couldn't see who it was.

Xu Jingzong also reacted, yes, what are you looking for him to do about this, he is not a person who makes decisions. He was about to go to Li Zhi to ask, but halfway through the work, he wondered if something had happened that he didn't know, it was too weird. Thinking about it, he felt that he still had to ask the queen about the situation first, anyway, without the review of the province, this would not pass, and there would still be a turnaround.

So, he secretly found Wu Meiniang again.

"Queen, on the list I handed to Your Majesty before, it was clearly written that Zhao Zhiman, Wang Fangyi, Pei Xingjian and others, but now on the edict drafted by Zhongshu Province, these people are not on the list, I have already asked Liu Xiangdao, he said that the list given to him by His Majesty is only these people, is there anything wrong with this?" Xu Jingzong said very excitedly.

Wu Meiniang's first reaction was that this matter was scheduled to be related to Han Yi, and she said very cautiously: "If there are fewer people, you can tell me specifically." ”

Xu Jingzong memorized this list backwards, because of his careful planning, he immediately told Wu Meiniang about the missing lists.

Wu Meiniang sounded a little confused, because there were fewer people, except for Xiao Jun who she arranged, the highest level was Zhang Daxiang, the head of the household department, but Han Yibao Zhang Daxiang She could understand, and secondly, Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhao Zhiman, Pei Xingjian, Wang Fangyi, as for the rest, they are all small roles, which are subject to Zhulian, if Xu Jingzong hadn't explained to her, she didn't know who these people were, and the key person was no less, even Han Yi's former boss Gao Cheng was not less.

The eldest grandson Wuji colluded with Han Yi just to protect these people?

What is the purpose?

Wu Meiniang was puzzled, thought for a while, and said, "You go and ask Your Majesty first, and see what Your Majesty says?" But don't force it, these people are just small fish and shrimp, so don't worry. ”
