Emperor Lizong's words suddenly made the body of Li Wenyuan, who was kneeling below, tremble suddenly, and then sneakily glanced at the right prime minister.

At this time, the right prime minister also looked at him, and the meaning in his eyes was to say whatever he had to say.

Li Wenyuan was relieved, and then said: "Back to the saint, the villain will never dare to say half a lie. ”

"Okay, you say, I'll listen!" Emperor Lizong's voice was cold.

This time, Li Wenyuan became a little nervous again.

"It's holy." He replied while secretly looking at Liu Yong. And Liu Yong was smiling faintly at this time, as if he was not worried about what Li Wenyuan was going to say at all.

Li Wenyuan's heart was shocked, and he suddenly said: "Back to the saint, Prime Minister Zuo didn't sell his official position at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, they immediately alarmed the government and the opposition! The ministers began to talk again.

Emperor Lizong was stunned for a moment, then smiled slightly.

And at this time, the right prime minister was dumbfounded. immediately looked at Li Wenyuan dumbfounded, a little unbelieving his ears.

"Be quiet!" Emperor Lizong said.

The ministers fell silent.

"Li Wenyuan, didn't you come to accuse Prime Minister Zuo? What's going on? Emperor Lizong asked.

Li Wenyuan hurriedly kowtowed and said to Emperor Lizong: "Back to the saint, these are all done by the villain made by the right prime minister. In fact, Prime Minister Zuo has never sold his official position from beginning to end. What's more, the current list of candidates has just been reported, and Prime Minister Zuo hasn't had time to take a look yet. Why is there such a thing as a traitor! ”

At this time, Emperor Lizong looked at the right prime minister, not only Emperor Lizong, but all the ministers in the court looked at the right prime minister.

"Li Wenyuan, what are you talking nonsense?" The right prime minister pointed at Li Wenyuan and said.

Li Wenyuan ignored it, and only said to Emperor Lizong: "Holy Lord, this Zhang Qiang is also fake, and he is the person of the right prime minister." After speaking, he looked at Zhang Qiang.

At this time, Zhang Qiang was already dumbfounded.

"Zhang Qiang, what Li Wenyuan said is true?" Emperor Lizong asked.

But at this time, Zhang Qiang only felt that his ears were ringing, and he didn't hear Emperor Lizong's words at all.

At this time, the eunuch immediately shouted: "Zhang Qiang, didn't you hear what the Holy Lord asked you?" ”

"Huh? What the? Zhang Qiang said dumbfoundedly.

"The Holy Lord, ask you, is what Li Wenyuan said true?" The eunuch repeated it again.

"Forehead......" Zhang Qiang looked at the right prime minister.

"Don't be too rambling, hurry up." The eunuch reprimanded Emperor Zong again.

"Yes, yes, the villain said, the villain said, in fact, what Li Wenyuan said is true. This is all done by the right prime minister at the instigation of the villain, and please spare the villain! After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he immediately kowtowed to Emperor Lizong, and there was a bang.

At this time, Emperor Lizong's eyes looked at the right prime minister.

The right prime minister was also dumbfounded, this situation was something he could never have dreamed of.

"Right Prime Minister, what else do you say?" Emperor Lizong asked.

"I, the old minister, the old minister." The right prime minister said while kneeling down for Emperor Lizong, "The old minister has something to say." ”

"You say." Emperor Lizong said.

"Old minister, old minister thinks that this is a set set given by Prime Minister Zuo to the old minister." The right prime minister had no choice but to quibble.

"Oh? Is this a trick given to you by Prime Minister Zuo? Then you can tell me to hear it. Emperor Lizong said.

"Back to the saint, the old minister thinks that these people were bought by Prime Minister Zuo, set a trap, and deliberately framed the old minister." The right prime minister said.

Emperor Lizong smiled and asked, "Then please ask the old prime minister to talk about it specifically!" ”

"This, Lao Chen guessed, Prime Minister Zuo bought Lao Chen's subordinates, and then deliberately made a scene of selling officials to let Lao Chen know. When the old minister knew about it, he would definitely tell the saint, and then they would deny it and fall into the situation of the old minister and injustice. The right prime minister said.

"Really? Left Prime Minister? Emperor Lizong asked Liu Yong again.

"Back to the saint, the right prime minister is purely quibbling." Liu Yong replied.

"Okay, then please tell Prime Minister Zuo, what's going on?" Emperor Lizong said.

"Holy Lord, here's the thing." Liu Yong is ready to put things together and tell them all.

It turned out that the two people in charge of the right prime minister in Liu Yong's prison room overheard the conversation between the right prime minister and Li Wenyuan, and reported it to Liu Yong. Even if Liu Yongdang adopted the strategy of taking care of the plan, he did not startle the snake first, let him plot behind his back, and when the time was ripe, he would plot against Li Wenyuan. And then to achieve the purpose of counterattacking.

At this time, Liu Yong couldn't help but tell Emperor Lizong about the whole thing, and also told him about several violations of discipline by the right prime minister. Of course, this is not nonsense out of thin air, but there is evidence. Liu Yong is also willing to show it.

When Emperor Lizong saw this, he was immediately furious, and he hated what the right prime minister had done.

Some of the ministers who are the right prime minister have no way to say words of intercession for the right prime minister at this time. Because at this time, the crimes of the right prime minister were all implemented, and Emperor Lizong was furious.

But there is still a minister who came out to intercede for the right prime minister, and he only symbolically said that the right prime minister has done a lot for the court, and asked the saint to send it as appropriate.

It is true that the right prime minister has done a lot of things for the court, but he is autocratic, forms a party for personal gain, and accepts bribes, but it is too much to achieve.

In the end, Emperor Lizong gave the right prime minister a three-level demotion and a position with no real power.

Youcheng fell to his knees on the spot, and this was the lightest punishment for his crimes. Of course, Emperor Rijong has not forgotten how he ascended to the throne. He didn't want people to say that he was unloading the mill and killing donkeys or something.

And the right prime minister is also very satisfied, he is an old fritter in officialdom. He knew very well that he would not worry about the words "no firewood" to keep Qingshan. He decided to take advantage of this opportunity to take a good rest for a while, and then he would make a comeback.

The right prime minister retired after thanking him. Although his steps out of the palace were heavy, he still had a smile on his face. This is a master who floats in the sea.

And Liu Yong finally achieved his goal, that is, to bring down the right prime minister, bringing a period of recovery to the court and people of the Great Song Dynasty.

The right prime minister was vacant, but Emperor Lizong did not promote Liu Yong, and Liu Yong did not ask for anything. for he is now under one man and above ten thousand. All the official affairs of the court were to be handled by his hands. He became busier.

In the next two years, Liu Yong was diligent in politics and really did open source and reduce expenditure for the Great Song Dynasty. And the financial revenue of the Great Song Dynasty was gradually enriched.

The happiest was Emperor Lizong.

The most unhappy thing is the right prime minister, in the past two years, every time he sees Liu Yong's political achievements, he is jealous of angina. But he also knew that Emperor Lizong had always had an empty seat as the right prime minister, and that was reserved for him.
