Han Yi, who had been silent, suddenly came out and bubbled, so Wu Meiniang was like a big enemy, she had been waiting for Han Yi to make a move, she was not afraid of Han Yi, but Han Yi always didn't make a move, which made her very uncomfortable, but she didn't expect that Han Yi just did such a trivial thing, which made her feel very surprised, you are such a key two big people have a secret meeting, just for this little thing, do you want to?

As everyone knows, that night, in fact, the eldest grandson Wuji and Han Yi did not talk about any big conspiracy, the protagonist of that night was actually Wu Meiniang, and both parties wanted Wu Meiniang to know their relationship.

But no matter how smart Wu Meiniang is, it is impossible to think of this, and even the eldest grandson Wuji did not expect it.

And over there, Xu Jingzong was getting Wu Meiniang's support, so he ran to find Li Zhi again.

"Your Majesty, the old minister just saw the edict drafted by Zhongshu Province, and he was very puzzled, is there something wrong with this?"

Xu Jingzong said to Li Zhi with a confused expression.

Li Zhi's heart was like a mirror, but he said, "What's the problem?" ”

Xu Jingzong said: "That Liangzhou Thorn Shi Zhao Zhiman is the nephew of the eldest grandson, and the relationship with the eldest grandson's family is very close, and he controls the key points leading to the northwest, it is impossible for him not to know that the eldest grandson Wuji colluded with Han Yuan and Laiji, but why is he not on the list?" ”

Li Zhidao: "If you want to talk about intimacy, Zhao Zhiman's family has a close relationship between the royal family and the eldest grandson's family? In addition, Zhao Zhiman has made remarkable achievements in Liangzhou in recent years, everyone can see that Liangzhou can have today's prosperity, Zhao Zhiman is indispensable, even Princess Honghua praised him, I ordered someone to praise him a few days ago, and there is no definite evidence to prove that Zhao Zhiman was involved, even if there is a mistake, I think I can also give him another chance to make up for his mistakes. ”

Xu Jingzong immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is not good, Zhao Zhiman has a very close relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji, and now the eldest grandson Wuji has been demoted, in case he has revenge, and he controls the important land of Liangzhou, this is very dangerous." ”

Li Zhifeng said lightly: "Aiqing, don't worry too much, I believe that Zhao Zhiman can understand the matter and will not do anything rebellious, so let's do it." ”

Although he said it with a smile, his tone was very resolute.

Because this is an unjust case, who does he want to protect, the reason is too easy to find, you have the ability to come up with solid evidence, and you can block Xu Jingzong back in one sentence.

Xu Jingzong saw that Li Zhi's attitude was so resolute, and he didn't dare to say anything more, he could only act in tacit agreement with Li Zhi in this matter, but not with Li Zhi.

In fact, Li Zhi considered this matter very carefully, and he considered it from his own interests, and Han Yi was just a reason. He also wants power, he also wants reputation, no matter how cleansed, this country must be prosperous, and in terms of governing the country, he relies on Han Yi the most, because he knows better than anyone else that Xu Jingzong has no ability to govern the country, so he also promoted Lu Chengqing, Xu Yushi, Wei Siqian, Liu Xiangdao and other people with real talent and learning, and among the rising stars, there are also Wang Xuandao, Ren Zhigu, Cui Jijian, and the minister team centered on him has formed a scale, which shows that he is by no means a faint king, and there are still many talents around him.

This is the art of the emperor, the emperor uses people, not only gentlemen, nor only villains, but they must be mixed together, so as to achieve balance.

Moreover, as long as these old ministers are eliminated, the Guanlong group will be finished, and keeping Zhao Zhiman and these young people will definitely not be able to endanger the imperial power, because Li Zhi has only saved a small number of people, and these people are scattered, and they can't become a climate, so there is nothing to worry about, they dare to make changes, and they can take their lives at any time, but they are a hidden danger to Xu Jingzong and these people.

Because Xu Jingzong made up this case, he was just forced to be a scoundrel, and these people hated Xu Jingzong and Yuan Gongyu, and they would not hate him, so he was also very relieved.

It can be seen that Li Zhi has left a hand for anyone, because now that the Guanlong Group has been cleared, will Xu Jingzong's power swell very much, Li Zhi also has to guard against this, which is also one of the reasons why he retains the officials around Han Yi, he wants to disperse power to these ministers, rather than concentrate on a certain faction.

Of course, Xu Jingzong is not afraid of Zhao Zhiman, he is such a proud person, how can he be afraid of Zhao Zhiman, all he cares about is that Li Zhi does not fully respect the fruits of his labor, but this is not a big problem, it cannot affect the overall situation at all, since the emperor is so resolute, of course Xu Jingzong will not be stupid enough to be aggressive.

With the approval of the province of Menxia, a large-scale political purge began.

There are very few people who have escaped this catastrophe because of Han Yi, because his original plan was to send all the rising stars of the Guanlong Group to other places to experience, and the purpose is also to prevent this day, I will scatter all the talents first, don't catch you all, where does Xu Jingzong care about those little sesame officials in the northwest, his eyes are in the court.

For Han Yi, you can clean the court casually, it has nothing to do with me, he has no power in the court, it is the two small places of the household department and the sage six courtyards, most of the people who use them are some small people, which is why there are so many battles between the court and the middle, he can always stay out of the matter, just because he has no power, you want to trouble him, it is difficult to find it.

And the internal of the Guanlong Group is already rotten, and the internal fighting is also very powerful, so this purge is a great thing for Han Yi, clean up all the garbage inside, so as not to drag him back when he gets it, his way of employing people, is not too much, and he can't take care of it if he has more, and the eldest grandson Wuji is unable to return to the sky in the end, because the plate is too big and cannot be controlled, of course Han Yi will not repeat the mistakes of the past.

Therefore, even if Han Yi keeps some people, the scale of this purge is still unprecedented, although there have been two times before, but they are all targeted, that is, individual ministers, and this time it is large-scale, whether you have anything to do with this matter or not, as long as you have a close relationship with the eldest grandson Wuji, or if you oppose Wu Meiniang and Xu Jingzong, you will have to be demoted.

As a result, a large number of aristocratic officials were either degraded or killed, Yu Zhining and Gao Cheng were demoted one after another, and the Guanlong group was basically purged, among which Wei, Pei, Liu, Xue, and the four nobles of Guanzhong were not spared.

Of course, these four major families are very powerful, and there are many, many branches, and the death of so many people will not shake their foundation, but only weaken their power in the court to a certain extent.

After these officials left, a large number of seats were vacated in the court, but don't worry, Wu Meiniang's calculation was very clear, and she had already asked Li Yifu to promote a group of people to stand by in advance, and as soon as they left, these people immediately made up for it, although these were promoted by Li Yifu, but it was because of Wu Meiniang that they were able to carp and jump into the dragon gate, and they naturally became Wu Meiniang's people.

Therefore, Wu Meiniang's power in the outer court has been greatly improved.

At the same time, these people are all Shu officials, and these vacant official positions were originally monopolized by the aristocracy, because the nobility has hereditary and ancestral shadows, and now they are all occupied by the Shu people, thus breaking the ruling pattern of the aristocratic gate lords, and a new political pattern has been quietly born, that is, the bureaucratic class.

This is naturally the most favorable political pattern for the emperor, because the distance between the officials and the emperor has been widened by 108,000 miles, and the imperial power has been greatly improved.

At the same time, the status of merchants has also been improved to a certain extent, and the reason is the same, the distance between nobles and merchants was too far in the past, and now the officials are all from the Shu clan, so the distance between merchants and officials is equivalent to narrowing a little closer.

In addition, Li Zhi also did a very special thing, that is, to recover Li Daozong and Li Ke's jue, and to set up a temple for Li Ke. Because when Li Ke was given to die, he had been demoted to a concubine, and now it is equivalent to re-re-recognizing Li Ke's royal status. This is actually political propaganda to arouse everyone's memory, you see that the eldest grandson Wuji has done a lot of immoral things before, and he is likely to rebel.

Of course, this is only a preliminary rehabilitation, because Li Zhi was also involved at that time, and Li Zhi could not completely deny what he had done at the beginning, Li Ke's descendants still have not been rehabilitated, and his purpose is to disgust the eldest grandson Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others, so that the people can agree that the eldest grandson Wuji is not a good person, which is also the basic process.

But no matter what, things finally came to an end.

Those who suffered can only accept their fate, and those who have escaped this catastrophe should hurry up to the temple to make a vow.

Some people can escape this catastrophe, but it is not because of the blessing of the gods, like an elephant.

Zhang Daxiang, who had been trembling at home for several days, finally appeared in the household today.

"Damn! You're at work! I've never seen you as an arrogant waiter, saying that if you put up a stall, you will make a stall. When Han Yi saw Zhang Daxiang, he immediately laughed and scolded.

Zhang Daxiang smiled at first, then immediately stepped forward, bowed, and said gratefully: "Thank you Han Shangshu for saving your life." ”

Although he didn't know what was going on, everyone who had a close relationship with Han Yi had escaped this catastrophe and was not implicated, could he not know in his heart.

"What a life-saving grace." Han Yi said very seriously: "I swear to God, I didn't say a word for you, you saved yourself." ”

Zhang Daxiang couldn't help but be stunned.

Han Yi said: "In the past few years, you have been working diligently for the country, and you have not fought with others in the DPRK like that Tang Lin, this is the reason why you have not been implicated, otherwise, even if I want to protect you, I can't protect you." In fact, as a courtier, you can do your own thing, don't think about fighting for power and profit, no emperor likes such a courtier, as long as you are dedicated to sharing worries for the monarch and contributing to the country, Your Majesty can see it. ”

Zhang Daxiang nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, yes, Han Shangshu's warning, Zhang must take it to heart." ”

Having said that, he also knew that it was fortunate that he chose to mix with Han Yi in the first place, otherwise, he would not be able to be busy with official business every day, and he would definitely join Tang Lin and them to fight with Li Yifu and them, in that case, he would not be able to escape.

Han Yi smiled: "Then you should know how to do it now, right?" ”

Zhang Daxiang was stunned and looked at Han Yi in confusion.

Han Yi said: "Of course you are doing things quickly, these days you are not here, I can't close my busy eyes every day, now that you are back, I have to take a break, and by the way, I will also give you a chance to perform, and prove in front of everyone that there is a reason why you can stay in the household." ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhang Daxiang smiled and nodded.
