With Li Congjing's official disclosure of Zhang Yilou's exposure of the minister's servant He Zhongkui and Zhou Guanqing's favoritism, and began to interrogate, Luoyang's official rectification of officials immediately entered a new stage, which marked the imperial court's investigation of derelict officials, which was not limited to the relevant personnel of Sun Fang's case. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

One after another officials were imprisoned, and many illegal things were made public, and Luoyang was shaken.

At this moment, there are those who are frightened, those who are dumbfounded, those who are annoyed and angry, and there are countless people who clap their hands and say that they are happy. The people and gentry of the entire Luoyang City all praised this, and for a while, His Majesty's praise for the ancient Ming Jun filled the streets and alleys of Luoyang City.

The punishment of lawless officials is the most popular thing for the people.

Of course, the enthusiastic people did not forget to give King Qin a high-spirited hat.

In some restaurants and tea shops, there were even storytellers who set up desks to tell stories to the people, and began to tell countless audiences about the tragic situation of corrupt officials and corrupt officials who fell one by one, as well as the process of King Qin, Duke Li, and Duke Ren fighting wits and courage with these illegal officials.

These storytellers have endless material.

The hustle and bustle in the market, although it has moved a lot, but in the huge Luoyang City, it still seems a little smaller, just like a whirlpool in the sea, and now it can not be seen by the princes of Gon who live in the temple.

Luoyang City is as vast as a giant lake, but it is also as vertical and horizontal as a chessboard.

Although the Qin Wangfu is full of people, the Zhao Wangfu is also a crowd, and its liveliness can even be said to be surpassed. The Qin Palace's Mansion was still brightly lit at night, and the officials went in and out, and the Zhao Palace's Mansion never extinguished all the lights at night, and the figure of leaning over and walking in the shadows never stopped.

The mountain rain is about to come, the wind is full of buildings, Luoyang City under the pressure of dark clouds is like a lake, and the purple and green officials are like large and small fish and shrimp, jumping and swimming in this lake anxiously, panicked looking for sheltered bays and shelters—there are more fish and shrimp, like shrimp soldiers and crab generals, with sharp armor and eyes like arrows, following them to kill.

The sunset has been long and the lights of Luoyang are dim.

In King Zhao's mansion, Li Congrong was discussing with three or two officials, the former behaving calmly, and the latter with sad eyebrows.

After sending away these big-hearted officials, Li Congrong shook his head and drank tea. The teacup was brought to his mouth, but it stopped, and King Zhao smiled helplessly, with a hint of absurdity, and shook his head again.

Bian Hao Shi Ran walked over, sat down after seeing the ceremony, poured a bowl of tea for himself, blew the tea noodles, and tasted it leisurely. In the past few days, he has often had a smile in his eyes, and he is obviously very satisfied with the current "general trend" of Zhao Wangfu.

Li Congrong looked at Bian Hao's complacent appearance and said with a smile: "Mr. seems to be in a good mood." Mr. has been in Luoyang for half a year, except for the beginning, but it is rare to see Mr. so complacent. ”

Bian Ho's action of drinking tea paused, but quickly returned to normal, but there were still some doubts in his heart, although his mood had changed slightly, but at most it was just some clues, and he should not be noticed by others at all, with Li Congrong's "qualifications", he should not see it clearly.

As a talented man in Jinling who was pinned on by Xu Zhihe, Jiang Zuobianlang knew the truth of "Taishang against himself", and after reminding himself to pay more attention to his words and deeds on weekdays, he immediately took Li Congrong's words, "Since His Royal Highness went to Bianzhou, the officials of the world have basically seen His Highness's 'determination' clearly, although it was not possible to intercept the officials of the Criminal Department that day, but His Highness's long trip, what he asked for was not to stop the Taiyuan prisoners, but to show his attitude to the officials of the world. Now that King Qin is in prison, everyone is in danger, and it is a good time for His Highness to plump his wings. ”

"Fortunately, His Royal Highness 'failed' to stop the officials of the Criminal Department, otherwise, it would be really difficult to explain to His Majesty after returning to Luoyang. Although His Royal Highness was scolded in front of His Majesty and was grounded for a month, these days, not only Luoyang officials, but also many feudal envoys and state and county officials have thrown themselves under His Royal Highness, which is exactly the general trend. ”

Bian Ho smiled, "Winning people's hearts so far, how can it be done?" ”

Li Congrong was stunned and pointed around the room, "When Mr. said this, how do you think that Lone's palace has become a place to hide filth and dirt?" ”

It's summer, there are a lot of mosquitoes, a mosquito fly is buzzing next to the side pickaxe's brain, how can it not be driven away, after trying twice to no avail, the side pickaxe simply gave up, only when the mosquito fly does not exist, Zhengse said to Li Congrong: "Your Highness's words are wrong." There is a law in the world, and the choice of method for a while is a necessary condition for success. The King of Qin got up early, his wings were full, and his prestige was high, and if His Royal Highness wanted to compete with the King of Qin, he had to use extraordinary methods. In addition, although some officials have some bad deeds, they still have merit, and as long as they can do practical things, His Highness should not look at it differently, and His Highness should understand the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish. ”

Li Congrong nodded seriously, and then sighed: "The lonely king is fighting for that position, and he doesn't want to be the master of the faint, in the final analysis, the Tang Dynasty is his own, who doesn't want his own family to be good?" ”

Bian Ho shook his head and said: "Your Highness's intentions, I naturally understand that when the great cause is completed in the future, Your Highness will come to clean up the lawlessness and clear the universe, and no one will be able to harm His Highness." After a pause, he said solemnly: "The Jiangshan Sheji of the Tang Dynasty ultimately depends on His Highness." ”

When Li Congrong heard this, he nodded again and again, indicating that he was very useful.

Bian Hao pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Today, His Highness's power has been established, whether it is an official of the DPRK or a local envoy, I hope that His Highness can gather the strength of everyone and do something." ”

Li Congrong was silent.

Seeing this, Bian Hao accentuated his tone: "The reason why those officials have all voted for His Highness is that they want to protect themselves now." If His Royal Highness wins the support of the people, but does not make a contribution, and those officials are still imprisoned in the rectification of the officials, I am afraid that the hearts of the people will be cold. At that time, His Highness has managed to obtain today's momentum, I am afraid that it will collapse. ”

Li Congrong looked at Bian Hao, "What do you mean, sir?" ”

Bian Hao said: "At this time, it is time for His Royal Highness to make a move, gather the strength of everyone, and compete with King Qin!" ”

Li Congrong said: "Resist the rectification of officials? ”

Bian Ho said: "Not now, but when?" ”

Li Congrong was silent.

Bian Hao said: "When the matter comes, isn't Your Highness afraid?" Don't dare to go head-to-head with King Qin? If you can hide from the first day of junior high school, you can't hide from the fifteenth, and if Your Highness wants to fight for that position, there is no room for retreat! ”

Li Congrong was silent for a while, waved his hand to call a confidant of the palace, and asked him in a low voice: "The names of the officials, have they all been sent?" ”

This henchman's name is Li Zhongxin, and after he was separated from Li Congjing and Li Conghou outside the palace gate before, he was also the one who complained about Li Congrong.

Li Zhong leaned over and said, "It's still a little bit short." ”

Bian Ho didn't know why, "What is a vote?" ”

Li Congrong smiled and did not answer, Li Zhongzhong said for him: "The King of Qin is powerful, and the officials are quite forced to take refuge in His Highness under the wind of rectification of the officials, and they must show their loyalty to His Highness. Otherwise, in the future, once the matter of the rectification of the officials is over, they are safe again, and there are other accidents, Your Highness must ensure that they do not change their minds and can always be used by me. ”

Bian Ho thought for a moment, and then realized what the so-called name petition was, "Your Highness wants those officials to hand over to Your Highness the evidence of their corruption and perversion of the law?" ”

Li Congrong smiled, "If not, why did King Gu go all the way to Bianzhou and desperately go to King Song?" The lone king showed his sincerity, and they had to show it. In the face of a strong enemy like King Qin, who has no handle in his hands, how can King Gu ensure their loyalty? ”

Hearing this, Bian Ho couldn't help but be stunned.

He couldn't help but think: Although Li Congrong's "qualifications" are a little worse, he has heard and seen it in the emperor's house, how can he have no means, and he really can't be underestimated.

He thought again: The loss is that Li Congrong's "qualifications" are poor, if he is as wise as Li Congjing, where is there room for me to use great means in front of him?

He thought again: Although Li Congrong has poor qualifications, he has a good temperament, and such a person is the most suitable for "assisting".

Jeon Ho felt a pang of rejoicing.

Li Congrong had already continued: "Give them three more days, and if they don't hand in their names after three days, they will not be allowed to step into the door of King Zhao's mansion!" He pondered for a moment and added, "In the past few days, the Lone King will first support them, so that they can see the Lone King's determination. ”

Li Zhongzhong went as promised.

After coming to Luoyang for more than half a year, Bian Hao said "sincerely" for the first time: "Your Highness is wise." ”

Li Congrong smiled slightly, "With Mr. praise, the lonely king is fortunate to have three lives." ”

The side pickaxe is embarrassed.

After returning to his residence, Byun Ho suddenly remembered something.

Li Congrong asked for the votes of almost all the officials, but why did he not mention the votes to him?

Although he has no "incriminating evidence", he has a family!

Thinking of this, Byun Ho was shocked.

Should Li Congrong have already sent someone to Jinling to pick up his family?

However, the side pickaxe quickly returned to normal.

Because the Tsing Yi Yamen had already arranged everything.

The next day, during the court meeting, the main hall was in chaos.

Li Congrong, the king of Zhao, openly accused the "Rectification of Officials" headed by Li Congjing, the king of Qin, for acting rudely, being eager for quick success, and punishing the people in a big way, and was suspected of "killing good and impersonating merit"! He also played Emperor Li Siyuan, requesting that the overall situation and social stability be the most important thing to stop this action to investigate and deal with corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the court suddenly became a mess, and many officials spoke out one after another to express their secondment.

The prime ministers, led by Li Qi and An Chongxue, fought back in groups, had fierce arguments with each other, and finally scolded each other.

Emperor Li Siyuan was furious, threw away the full case in the hall, and walked away.

On the same day, the emperor ordered that the punishment of unjudicial officials should be intensified.

The crowd is boiling.

That day and night, Zhao Wang's Mansion was almost overcrowded.

Three days later, an urgent report that caught everyone off guard reached Luoyang.

Yang Wu and Ma Chu fought, Yang Wu won a big victory, and Ma Chu was defeated.

After this battle, the king of Chu lost the capital, and even lost half of the rivers and mountains!

Li Siyuan urgently summoned the kings and prime ministers to discuss urgent matters and stayed up all night.

The next day, the court issued an edict, with Li Congrong, the king of Zhao, as the southern envoy and the commander of the camp, leading 30,000 troops, and galloping south to aid the king of Chu.
