Chapter 235: Fat Fox
There was no sound on the golden palace, and the needles could be heard.
Emperor Li Zhidu had already leaned forward, his buttocks had left the dragon chair, his mouth was slightly open, and his face was full of shock. This was something he had thought about in his dreams, and the elders were involved in politics everywhere, so he had long wanted to drive a few elders away.
But no matter how he hinted explicitly, the eldest grandson Wuji didn't pay attention to them at all.
It was not easy to drive Chu Suiliang away, but there were still several old immortals left in the court.
Who would have thought that the eldest grandson Wuji would take the initiative to resign, and it was the three elders who resigned at the same time.
Sun Wuji, the eldest servant of the waiter, Yu Zhining, the left servant of Shangshu, and Han Ming, the servant of the door, resigned at the same time, which was simply an earthquake.
After Li Zhi was shocked, the first thing that came to his mind was that Changsun Wuji and others wanted to retreat as advance to blackmail him?
He calmed down, sat down again, and leaned back into his chair.
His mind turned sharply, but he couldn't come to any conclusions for a while.
Originally, there would be a vicious fight today, he was prepared for the worst, according to the original plan, the imperial historian Yuwen Festival would come out to impeach the eldest grandson Wuji, and then he would have the division to investigate, and then come up with some evidence, and then he would be punished for the crime of the eldest grandson Wuji, and he would be demoted from the court immediately.
Li Zhi was still silent, and at this time, a slight cough came from behind the dragon chair, and this cough came through the screen behind the dragon chair.
This is the voice of the Wu family, there will be a bloody storm today, so the Wu family asked to listen behind the screen at the back of the palace, and Li Zhi agreed.
Obviously, the Wu clan felt that this was an excellent opportunity, no matter what the three of them thought, but wasn't this the result they had always wanted?
Just planned the plan, and agreed to push the boat down the river, and then drove the three old immortals out of the court, wouldn't it be a hundred.
Although the Wu clan didn't know why Laiji didn't resign, as long as these three left, there would be one Laiji and one Yuwenjie and Li Ji left in the patriarchal faction. But Li Ji and Yuwenjie have long been the emperor's people, which means that it is difficult to stay in Laiji, and there will be no one in the emperor's eyes in the future.
Li Zhi came back to his senses and swept his gaze across the hall.
"The eldest grandson, Yu Fuji, Han Shilang, you are all veteran meritorious deeds, the prime minister of the country, the court can't do without you, I can't do without you." Although I wish these people would get out, the superficial work that should be done still has to be done.
The eldest grandson Wuji simply resigned again.
Two words and two are not allowed.
Finally, I would like to resign again.
Three words.
At this time, Li Zhi finally nodded and agreed with a sigh of pretending to be helpless.
On the Golden Palace, the hundred officials were still in shock.
They still haven't figured out why they came to such a show.
Only Li Xiao in the back, after being shocked for a while, this will already sigh at the decisiveness of the eldest grandson Wuji.
Yesterday, I just reminded the eldest grandson a few words, and the eldest grandson immediately figured out the powerful relationship between them, and instead of waiting for the emperor to drive them out of the court like old dogs, it was better to take the initiative to leave.
After Li Zhi said a few words, the eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Zhining, and Han Ying finally retired honorably.
The eldest grandson Wuji not only resigned from the post of three products and servants under the Tongzhong Shumen, but also resigned from the post of governor of Yangzhou.
Li Zhi was very happy, he couldn't imagine that the eldest grandson Wuji had changed so quickly, and the eldest grandson Wuji refused to return if he personally went to the mansion to send money and say good things before.
While happy, Li Zhi forgot that he had promised the Wu clan yesterday to degrade the eldest grandson Wuji first and then kill him. Since the eldest grandson took the initiative to retreat, there was no need to do it.
Thinking about the eldest grandson Wuji's support and protection, Li Zhi immediately issued an order to worship the elder Sun Wuji to stay in Henan Mansion Yin and the eastern capital, and ordered the town to guard the eastern capital Luoyang, increase the number of Zhao Guogong's real food yi by 300, and seal a total of 1,600 households in front of the food.
Worship Yu Zhining for Taiyuan Mansion Yin, the northern capital to stay, add the prince and the prince, enter the Yan Guogong, increase the food by 300, a total of 800 households before and after.
He also took Han Ying as the prince and concubine, entered Yingchuan County, increased the food by 300, and sealed a total of 800 households before the pass.
The old minister is interested, and Li Zhi is also generous.
Each person was rewarded with 300 real sealed food estates, and each was given several honorary titles.
Although the titles of Taishi, Taishi, and Taifu are respected, they are only honorary titles after all, and they have no actual authority regardless of things. And Henan Yin and Luoyang stayed behind and Taiyuan Yin and Beidu stayed behind, in fact, they were also remote leaders, and they did not need to actually serve.
This can be regarded as Li Zhi's reward for their support and protection.
Behind the screen, Wu Shi frowned when he heard the emperor's imperial seal. She didn't believe that the eldest grandson Wuji was so knowledgeable, she felt that there must be something wrong here.
Originally, no matter what the problem was, he would kick the three out of the court first, but the emperor gave the three of them such a high title.
The eldest grandson Wuji and the three of them were not allowed to accept it.
"The minister, Sun Wuji, has a book to play!"
The eldest grandson Wuji played again.
"The master has something to say." Li Zhi is in a very good mood, and in the future, he won't be able to see the fat face of the eldest grandson Wuji, nor the bitter gourd face of Yu Zhining, nor the black face of Han Ming, all of them don't need to be seen.
The eldest grandson Wuji spoke slowly, "The minister asks Your Majesty to take Chu Suiliang's sin, Chu Suiliang is old and frail, and Lingnan is a place of miasma, and please ask Your Majesty to remember his past merits and hardships, and let him return to his hometown." ”
When Li Zhi heard the mention of Chu Suiliang, he was a little alert at first.
When I heard that it was to forgive his mistakes and let Chu Suiliang return to Beijing, I couldn't help but feel relieved. Chu Suiliang was demoted to the governor of Guizhou by him, although the governor of Guizhou is a demotion to Lingnan, but Guizhou is an important place, and the governor of Guizhou is also a very important position.
If the eldest grandson Wuji came forward to ask Chu Suiliang to return to his hometown, it would be good.
It is better to let Chu Suiliang go home to retire than if he continues to be an official, even if he is a governor of Lingnan, then he has to be careful.
"Yun, enter Chu Suiliang, Prince Taibao, Zhou Guogong, add 300 real food towns, and pass through the first 800 households."
"Chen Han Ying has a book to play!"
After the eldest grandson Wuji finished speaking, Han Ying came out again.
Li Zhi frowned slightly, but he still nodded after a deep sigh, "Han Qing, please speak." ”
"The minister dares to ask Your Majesty to pardon Xue Wanche, the crime of losing his thinking power, and leaving Fang Zhizhi, and allow him to return to the court."
Unexpected, and another unexpected.
Xue Wanche, Stubborn Lost Thinking, Fang Zhizhi, those are all the rebellious ministers in the previous Fang Yiai's rebellion case, they and Li Daozong, Li Ke and others were sentenced to death, but later Li Ke was spared death, Li Daozong recently recovered, but I didn't expect that now Han Yuan, the person who personally tried the rebellion case, proposed to pardon these people and return to the court.
If it weren't for Li Ke's incident later, Li Zhi couldn't bear it, Xue Wanche and these people were all killed, and they were not killed afterwards, but they were all exiled to Lingnan and expelled from the people.
"Your Majesty, Xue Wanche, Zhi Zhi Sili and others are all famous generals of this dynasty, and now the four seas are not appeased, and the vassals are not satisfied, it is the time for the court to employ people, please remember their past merits, and give them a chance to make meritorious contributions. Fang Zhizhi is the son of Xuanling of Liang Guogongfang, and after the meritorious service, please have mercy on Your Majesty. ”
Wu Shi had gradually heard some smell behind the screen.
The eldest grandson Wuji, Yu Zhining, and Han Ying took the initiative to resign, but they were also conditional. They stayed behind to continue to be prime ministers, and then overturned the case for Xue Wanche, Zhi Zhi Sili, Fang Zhizhi, etc.
Why do you want to overturn the case for these people they single-handedly overturned in the first place?
The Wu clan felt that the eldest grandson Wuji must have a very far plan, although it was not clear for a while, but it was certainly not simple.
She coughed twice, wanting to remind the emperor not to promise the eldest grandson Wuji them.
But at this time, Li Zhi wanted to go to the other side.
At the beginning, the case was advocated by the eldest grandson Wuji, and he also acquiesced. But things have changed, Li Zhi feels that it doesn't matter anymore, now that his throne is stable and he has power, even the eldest grandson Wuji has taken the initiative to resign from the office, how can he still worry about Xue Wanche and others?
Otherwise, he would not have pardoned Li Ke and recalled Li Daozong.
"Yes!"
Li Zhi finally agreed.
Wu stomped his feet in the back, and his angry phoenix eyebrows stood upside down.
The three eldest grandsons Wuji, who had achieved their goal, finally retreated and stopped talking.
Li Zhi also breathed a sigh of relief, and the three elders finally retreated.
In the hall, Yushi Dafu Yuwenjie stood there stunned.
He looked at the emperor, looked at the eldest grandson Wuji, and knew that he had missed the best opportunity for revenge. Originally, he could have put the eldest grandson Wuji to death today, but the eldest grandson Wuji actually took the initiative to resign one step in advance.
Now, the eldest grandson Wuji and they are all gone, and he has no chance to take revenge.
I felt a little gloomy, even a little boring.
The monarchs and ministers in the palace, at this time, perhaps only Li Xiao is the only one who understands the eldest grandson Wuji's every move today.
From taking the initiative to resign, to rehabilitating Chu Suiliang and Xue Wanche, this is a big chess piece.
Xue Wanche and Zhi Wei Sili are both horses, and the two are naturally also members of the Guanlong nobles, both of whom are fierce generals, if they return to the dynasty and re-use, they still have the opportunity to lead the army.
If you add Li Daozong, who has already returned to the court, then the Guanlong group faction, although the eldest grandson Wuji and they withdrew from the court, Li Daozong will take over the stick and reunite the Guanlong group.
Li Daozong entered the center, and there were famous generals like Xue Wanche and Zhi Zhi Sili returning to the dynasty, so in the military, it is no longer Li Ji and Cheng Yanjin and other Shandong upstarts who are in charge of the military alone.
As for the rehabilitation of the widow, it can be regarded as the eldest grandson Wuji, who sold his personal favor by the way before they left. Fang Xuanling is the eldest son of Fang Xuanling, Fang Xuanling has been a relative for decades, and the relatives and friends of the government and the opposition are all over the world, and this favor will not be sold in vain.
After Li Zhi succeeded to the throne, the two largest political struggles ended with a wonderful development.
In addition to the dead princes of the clan and a few small characters, most of the people who were implicated and knocked down were rehabilitated.
And the struggle between the senators and the emperor, which was extremely tense and the situation was about to break out, also ended with the voluntary surrender of the senators.
Emperor Li Zhi felt refreshed, and the mountains that had been pressing on his heart were swept away.
Li Xiao sat in the hall, thinking that history had changed again. And this time, is it because of yourself?
Did the eldest grandson Wuji make today's decision after listening to his words yesterday, or did the history of the Tang Dynasty inadvertently favor a certain fork in the road?
looked up, but just saw the eldest grandson Wuji looking back at him and smiling at him.
This fat fox seems to be smiling quite proudly!
