Changan.

The imperial capital of the Tang Dynasty, the capital of the Son of Heaven.

The huge Great Wall is in the north of An, above the Golden Palace of the Imperial Palace.

The court meeting was held in a step-by-step manner.

Li Zhi actually hated the early dynasty, every day in the morning, hundreds of officials rushed to the court before dawn every day, but in fact, so many people can really talk about any major affairs of the court. Since the time of Taizong in the Tang Dynasty, the real major affairs of the court and the state affairs were still decided in the political hall.

Sitting on top of the Golden Palace, Li Zhi was even a little drowsy, and all kinds of chaotic news yesterday constantly stimulated his sensitive nerves and kept him awake all night. I woke up early today, and I couldn't help but yawn at this time.

After the mountain shouted long live, several court officials who were transferred to Beijing came out to thank him, and a few officials who told the old came out to say goodbye, which was as plain as water.

After the usual ceremony, the pilgrimage meeting ended.

The hundred officials withdrew in turn from high to low, arrived outside the palace gate, and then returned to their own yamen office to do business. The governors of the three provinces, as well as the ministers who participated in political affairs and participated in the government affairs, stayed behind.

Today, the Zhongshu people of Zhongshu Province also stayed, and several scattered cavalry attendants of Menxia Province also stayed, and several supervisors of the Yushitai and Dali Siqing were also stayed.

After the court meeting, they went to the political hall of the forbidden Zhongshu Inner Province to attend the meeting.

Since the last time the prime minister of Zhongshu changed his blood, Li Zhi has already had the right to speak in the political hall, and this is no longer the hall of the eldest grandson Wuji's words, and the emperor will also go to the political hall every day to listen to the prime ministers' reports on political affairs.

The atmosphere in today's political hall is solemn, and everyone knows that the Son of Heaven is pointing at Chu Suiliang.

Now it depends on the reaction of these patriarchs, whether to protect it or not, if it is guaranteed, then how will the emperor and Li Ji and others respond.

Yesterday's Lanxi Rebellion, Chu Suiliang, as the rotating prime minister of the ruling pen, not only did not handle the matter well, but caused even greater chaos. At worst, this is a dereliction of duty, and at worst, it is suspected of plotting chaos.

Li Zhi had long seen that Chu Suiliang was not pleasing to the eye, and he had belittled Chu Suiliang once at the beginning of his accession, but that time the eldest grandson Wuji quickly persuaded him to call Chu Suiliang back.

But this time, Li Zhi already had the confidence not to back down to his eldest grandson.

Chu Suiliang is the most important figure of the patriarchal faction, and he can be regarded as the old partner of the eldest grandson Wuji, if he is demoted from Beijing, it is tantamount to cutting off the eldest grandson's arm.

Li Zhi was not ready to quarrel with the eldest grandson Wuji, he didn't ask the eldest grandson Wuji or Chu Suiliang, he directly asked the imperial historian Yuwenjie.

"Yuwen Xiangguo, Yushitai impeached Chu Xiang's dereliction of duty, can there be credentials?"

Yuwenjie got up and replied, "Chu Suiliang, as a Zhongshu Order, was written in the court yesterday, but in the face of Lantian's outstanding affairs, not only did he not deal with it safely, but he privately transferred troops and horses without asking the details, and also issued an order to kill without mercy, is this the prime minister's action?" The minister thought that Chu Suiliang was old and mediocre and unworthy of the important responsibility of the prime minister, and he should be punished for dereliction of duty. ”

Li Zhi's gaze swept over Chu Suiliang, this old horseman was really ruthless, he actually privately transferred troops and horses and ordered him to be killed, so bold.

"Chu Suiliang is old, and he can't help but be confused, and I remember him as a famous minister of Zhenguan, and he is also the minister appointed by Emperor Taizong.

Li Zhi's decision was unexpected by the eldest grandson Wuji and others, after all, they all thought that they would definitely not let go of this time if they showed a handle in the hands of the emperor, but the result was just to let Chu Suiliang retire, which was too light.

"Your Majesty."

At this time, someone spoke up.

As soon as this person spoke, the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help frowning, thinking that the emperor was really so generous, it turned out that he was just letting his henchmen come forward.

Li Yifu is now the secretary of the ministry and worships the prime minister, but he has actually been the emperor's confidant, and he was a subordinate official of the East Palace in his early years.

In his early years, this person was appointed by his grandfather as the Cheng of Shehong County in Shuzhong, and the family moved to Yongtai in Shuzhong. In the eighth year of Zhenguan, Li Yifu was recommended by Li Daliang, the patrol ambassador of Jiannan Province, as the provincial ceremonial ceremony because of the good writing of the article, and then was recommended by Liu Xun and Ma Zhou, and served as the supervisor of the imperial history, and finally transferred to the Jin Wangfu to serve Li Zhi.

It can be said that Li Yifu is the emperor's hardcore confidant and the former minister of the domain.

Li Yifu stood up at this time, of course, he didn't intercede for Chu Suiliang, he came to fall into the well. Li Yifu stood up and played, but he didn't say anything about Chu Suiliang's dereliction of duty yesterday, after all, the emperor had already made a conclusion on this matter.

He said something else.

He reported to the emperor that Chu Suiliang was treacherous and evil, and framed Liu Xun back then. Who is Liu Xun, Liu Xun is the former benefactor of Li Yifu, is the family Nanyang Liu was born, at the end of the Sui Dynasty did the Huangmen Shilang of the Xiao Milling regime, after the Tang Dynasty, he successively served as the governor of Nankang Prefecture, the history of the governor of Nankangzhou, the history of the Zhishu Shi, the right of the Shangshu, the Huangmen Shilang, the servant, the Fengqingyuan County male, the official to the prime minister, known for his direct advice, his great-ancestor was also the official Shangshu of the Southern Liang Dynasty.

Born in a famous family, he was an official all the way to the prime minister in the Tang Dynasty, and he was also quite a remarkable figure, but he was killed in Taizong's later years, which is an unjust case.

During the dispute between the prince in the Zhenguan period, Liu Xun initially supported Li Tai, the king of Wei, and later Li Zhi became the crown prince.

Because of the discord between Liu Xun and Chu Suiliang, he was framed by Chu Suiliang and was given death by Li Shimin.

In this case, in fact, everyone knows that Liu Xun died unjustly, Liu Xun could not have the intention of rebellion, everything was caused by Chu Suiliang's small report in front of Li Shimin and the lies he said. At that time, Prime Minister Ma Zhou testified for Liu Xun and said good things, but at that time, Taizong was seriously ill and ordered to die, and after he recovered from his illness, he also regretted it, and also ordered many officials related to Liu Xun's case to be imprisoned.

Because Chu Suiliang was a veteran minister, he was only admonished.

Today, Li Yifu turned over the unjust case of Liu Xun at this time, and wanted to rehabilitate Liu Xun, the intention is obvious, if Liu Xun's case is rehabilitated, then Chu Suiliang will naturally be guilty.

Chu Suiliang stood there without saying a word.

The eldest grandson Wuji couldn't help but come out and said, "Your Majesty, the case of Liu Xun has already been concluded, if Liu Xun's guilt is washed away at this time, wouldn't it mean that Emperor Taizong abused his criminal responsibility?" ”

He did not defend Chu Suiliang, but reminded the emperor that this case was decided by Emperor Taizong back then, and if you want to overturn the case now, wouldn't that be the son of his father? The Tang Dynasty rules the world with filial piety, and it is not right for a son to overturn his father's case.

Li Zhi ignored President Sun Wuji's words, but changed the topic and asked, "Liu Xun's descendants are geometric, where are they now, what position do they hold, and how much is their monthly payment?" ”

How could Li Yifu not know the emperor's intentions, and immediately said that after Liu Xun was given to die, Chu Suiliang did not let go of Liu Xun's descendants, Liu Xun's family declined, and now he is dead, and only one Liu Hongye is left among the sons.

The Liu family is very miserable, so miserable that the pants are almost gone.
