Chapter 106: Impeachment of Li Gang 2
At this moment, there is chaos in the Taihe Palace! When Zhao Chen arrived, he saw that Li Gang and all the other ministers were divided into two camps! Li Gang is one camp, and all the other ministers are in the other camp!
Seeing Zhao Chen coming, first the guards at the door knelt down one after another, and then the civil and military ministers in the court also knelt down!
Zhao Chen walked to the throne and sat on the throne, then said, "What happened?" ”
The ministers of civil and military affairs have not seen Zhao Chen for several days! Seeing Zhao Chen at this moment, some ministers of civil and military affairs laughed secretly in their hearts, they knew about Zhao Chen's carpentry, and they really felt ridiculous about this "carpenter emperor"! But Li Gang was anxious, he looked at Zhao Chen, and he didn't know what happened to Zhao Chen during this time! He didn't know if Zhao Chen had really become a "carpenter emperor", really unenterprising and blindly degenerate, or was this Zhao Chen's strategy?
If Zhao Chen was an adult, Li Gang might not have so much confusion in his heart! But Zhao Chen is just an eleven-year-old boy, and the young man's heart is changeable, Li Gang can't help but doubt it!
Li Gang has been trying his best to figure out this matter these days, but he is alone in Hanzhong City, and he doesn't have any strength under him! He couldn't enter the palace, he couldn't get close to Zhao Chen, he couldn't get close to any of the guards beside Zhao Chen! Therefore, it is very difficult for him to figure out this matter!
Originally, when the dynasty was in the early days today, Li Gang had already decided to see the emperor no matter what! He even decided to use his life to force Concession, and he felt that Concession would definitely give in at that time! He is very famous, if he dies in the court because he can't see the emperor, he will definitely not be able to explain to the people of the world! At that time, there is also a great disadvantage for the compromise!
Who knew that he had just come to the court, and Han Ping in the imperial history actually impeached him as the prime minister! Then, not long after, all the other ministers, including Zhi Keqiu, stepped forward to accuse Li Gang! Li Gang had to argue with them!
At this moment, Zhao Chen arrived, and immediately another minister stood up!
"Your Majesty, Weichen Han Ping wants to impeach Li Gang!" Han Ping said.
"Li Gang is the prime minister, why do you want to impeach him?" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, Weichen wants to impeach Li Gang and Li Gang to forcibly occupy Mintian!" Han Ping said loudly.
"Forcibly occupy people's land? How could there be such a thing? "Zhao Chen is unbelievable!
"Your Majesty, he is slandering Wei Chen! Even if Weichen has great courage, he does not dare to forcibly occupy the people's land! Weichen has a clean breeze on his sleeves, and after three dynasties, he has never forcibly occupied a penny of other people's silver, let alone forcibly occupied people's land! Li Gang took a deep breath and said slowly.
"I believe in Master Li!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, Wechen is by no means talking nonsense, Wechen has evidence!" Han Ping said.
"Oh? I don't know what the evidence is? Zhao Chen said.
Han Ping and Zhe Keqiu over there glanced at each other, only to hear Han Ping say loudly: "Your Majesty, the evidence is those farmers who were seized by him!" Now those farmers are outside the palace, I wonder if Your Majesty would like to hear what these farmers have to say? ”
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "Very good, I'll listen to what they have to say!" Come on, go and bring them to the palace! ”
Li Gang was anxious and angry at the moment, and said, "Your Majesty, they are completely slanderous!" How could Wechen forcibly occupy Mintian? ”
Zhao Chen smiled at Li Gang and said, "Master Li is my teacher, and I have always believed in Master Li!" But let them in and listen to what they have to say, it doesn't matter, the teacher said, right? ”
Zhao Chen said this, Li Gang had to nod and say no more!
After a while, a few farmers dressed in tatters entered the palace! These farmers entered the Taihe Hall and hurriedly knelt on the ground!
"Your Majesty, it's just these people, all their farmland has been forcibly occupied by Lord Li!" Han Ping pointed to the farmers and said.
"You all look up, let me ask you, is what Lord Han said true? Did Li Gang really forcibly occupy your farmland? Zhao Chen said softly.
The peasants raised their heads one after another, they were very different from Wang Pu, who came to the palace that day! Wang Pu was nervous and scared that day, but at this moment, there was no nervous or scared look on the faces of these people! Seeing their expressions, Zhao Chen's eyes showed a hint of mockery, but this look quickly disappeared and became peaceful!
"Your Majesty, it was Li Gang who sent domestic slaves to forcibly occupy our farmland! And that's not all, and that's not all...... Li Gang, he is outrageous! He also ...... He also robbed the people's daughters! A "farmer" in his forties shouted.
"Robbing people's daughters?" Zhao Chen said in surprise.
"The little girl is now outside the temple! On that day, Li Gang's house slave forced the little girl away, and later ...... Later, the little girl said that he was raped by an adult in court clothes! That person is Li Gang! "Farmer" said.
"How can you be sure that the adult who raped him is Li Gang?" Zhao Chen said.
"The little girl is outside now, she can identify it!" Farmer Road.
"Very good, let's announce her into the palace!" Zhao Chen said.
After only a few moments, a woman entered the Taihe Palace! This woman looks like she is in her twenties, but she is unusually fat, and her waist thickness and width are almost the same! Zhao Chen couldn't see her appearance clearly, because her face was full of fat, and this fat almost covered her mouth, nose, and eyes! Therefore, Zhao Chen can only see the fat on his face!
Seeing this woman, Zhao Chen was startled!
"Your Majesty, this is the little girl Dong'er! Dong'er, come and see, but this Master Li has raped you? The farmer said.
The woman named "Dong'er" looked at Li Gang, and immediately burst into tears, and she said while crying: "It's him!" That's him! It was he who ruined his daughter's innocence! Don't live, daughter! ”
After shouting a few words, the woman named "Dong'er" actually crashed into the pillar next to her! It's just that her body is too fat and her running speed is too slow, and after a few moments she falls to the ground and can't even get up from the ground!
Seeing this scene, Zhao Chen couldn't help laughing!
The ministers below also laughed, and Li Gang was angry and his chest was about to explode! He Li Gang don't say that he didn't rob the people's daughters, even if he really robbed the people's girls, he can't look down on such goods!
"Your Majesty, Li Gang forcibly occupied the people's land and robbed the people's daughters, so Weichen wants to impeach him!" Han Ping stood up again and said!
"Your Majesty, this is completely slander, Weichen would never dare to do such a thing!" Li Gang said angrily.
"Your Majesty, I think what Lord Han said is right! I was in Hanzhong City, and I also heard about the scandal of Master Li! Now that the whole city of Hanzhong has spread, Lord Li has taken a fancy to an unusually obese woman and raped that woman! Later, Lord Li also knelt on the ground and asked the woman to marry Lord Li, but the woman did not agree, and finally the woman secretly ran out of Li's house and ran to Lord Han's house. Wei Ming, a close confidant who could ask for it, stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, this is true! Li Gang is indeed evil! He relied on his identity as the prime minister to do all kinds of evil! I heard that not only did he forcibly occupy farmland and rob people's daughters, but he also had great disrespect for Your Majesty, saying that Your Majesty You are an incompetent boy, if it weren't for his Li Gang's full support, Your Majesty, you would definitely not be able to become an emperor! Xue Rui, a trusted confidant, stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, I faintly heard that Li Gang and King Kang's traitor secretly made a contribution!"
"Your Majesty, Li Gang is unusually lazy, and he never deals with state affairs every day! Not enough for the prime minister! ”
"Your Majesty, Li Gang is arrogant, he built his home in front of the Taimiao, every time he passes by the Taimiao, Li Gang looks like he is on top!"
"Your Majesty, Li Gang's servants oppressed the people at will, and on the street, his servants beat to death a few people who stopped his palanquin with whips!"
"Your Majesty, Li Gang's horse is ...... murderous"
For a time, countless ministers stood up and impeached Li Gang together!
"Your Majesty, Wechen has never done these things! These are slanders! Li Gang was angry!
It's just that Li Gang's voice is too small, and the ministers next to him are constantly shouting, and his voice can barely be heard!
The Taihe Hall has been noisy for a long time, and finally Zhao Chen coughed a few times, and the Taihe Hall finally quieted down!
"What the hell is going on? Li Aiqing, they have listed many of your crimes, can you admit it? Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, Weichen will never admit it, these are slander!" Li Gangqi's face turned red, and he gritted his teeth.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid these are not slanders! If a person says that Master Li is at fault, it may be false! But the ministers of the court all said that Lord Li was at fault, how could this be fake? Could it be that the ministers of the DPRK and China are all wrong? Zhe Keqiu finally stood up and said.
Zhao Chen's face showed a complicated look, of course he knew that it was slander! He knew that Zhe Keqiu had already controlled the imperial court, and no matter what Zhe Keqiu said, those ministers would follow and say something! If you want to impeach Li Gang, those ministers will naturally impeach Li Gang together! From the first day he ascended the throne, he knew what kind of situation he was about to face!
Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, Wang De and others have already left, and he knows that Li Gang will definitely be driven away by Zhe Keqiu and others! But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly! It's only October now, and he has only been on the throne for three months, so he wants to get rid of Li Gang! He thought it would be a long time coming!
To be honest, he didn't want Li Gang to leave! He was reluctant to let Li Gang leave Hanzhong and go thousands of miles away!
If he insists now, maybe Li Gang will not be kicked out of the imperial court! But as he said to Yue Fei and the others that day, it was useless for Yue Fei and the others to stay in the palace, but to send them outside, they could play a big role! The same goes for Li Gang! Now Li Gang has no use in staying in the court, the court is full of people who can ask for help, and Li Gang can't help Zhao Chen here at all! Now Zhao Chen can only send Li Gang out, let Li Gang leave Hanzhong, and let Li Gang help him contact Li Ruoshui, Wu Jie, Yue Fei, Wang De and others, and let Li Gang help him change his fate! His own strength is insufficient, and Zhao Chen must rely on external strength! So he had to let Li Gang go!
Seeing Zhao Chen's face change, he was overjoyed in his heart, he thought that Zhao Chen was hesitating to punish Li Gang, but he didn't know that Zhao Chen was thinking about something he would never think of!
"Your Majesty, Li Gang has done a lot of evil and must be severely punished!" Fold and seek the way.
"Your Majesty, Weichen definitely didn't do those things!" Li Gang glared angrily and said.
"Li Aiqing took me to leave Kaifeng together, and later Li Aiqing took me to Tongguan until I came to Hanzhong and ascended the throne as the emperor! He has worked hard and achieved great success, and I should be forgiven for any mistakes! Zhao Chen seemed to hesitate for a long time before he said.
"Your Majesty, the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, not to mention that Li Gang is not a prince, just a courtier! He has made a mistake, how can he be forgiven? He thought that Zhao Chen was going to spare Li Gang, so he hurriedly said at the moment.
"Lord Zhe, how do you say you should punish Li Aiqing?" Zhao Chen sighed softly and said.
Zhe Ke begged for great joy and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Li has indeed made a big mistake by forcibly occupying people's land and robbing people's daughters!" But as His Majesty just said, he has worked hard and made great achievements, and it is inconvenient to punish him severely! According to Weichen, it is better to belittle Lord Li as the county magistrate of Chencang County! ”
Li Gang seemed to be angry at the moment, and said, "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense!" ”
Han Ping also stood up at this moment and said, "Your Majesty, what Lord Zhe said is right!" Weichen is the middle of the imperial history, according to Weichen, it is also a derogation of Li Gang as the order of Chencang County! ”
"Weichen also agrees with the demotion of Li Gang as the order of Chencang County!"
"Weichen also agrees!"
……
For a while, there were voices of approval everywhere in the court!
"Since you all say so, it's up to you! Li Aiqing is my teacher, and I want to set up a banquet for him today! I hope he will do a good job in the Chencang County Order, and I hope that one day Lord Li can return to Hanzhong again and become my right-hand man! Zhao Chen seemed to be very reluctant and said.
Hearing Zhao Chen's "banquet to see him off", Zhi Keqiu immediately glanced at Lin Bao next to Zhao Chen, and Lin Bao nodded lightly!
