Liu Yan is really angry at the moment. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Since the death of Empress Hua, Liu Yan has not been able to slow down for a long time. He and Queen Hua have been married for many years, and the relationship is unusual, although the relationship between the two gradually drifted apart after Queen Hua was involved in power disputes, but after the people really died, Liu Yan often recalled the benefits of the old man. Although Concubine Mi Guifei was fair in charge of the harem and managed the entire harem properly, Liu Yan still didn't have any interest in messing around in the harem, and the only one who could still get Liu Yan's favor was Lu Guiren.
After the time entered the 814th year of the Gregorian calendar, Liu Yan finally ushered in a good news, Lu Guiren was pregnant.
This news somewhat dispelled some of Liu Yan's feelings of missing the queen, but unfortunately the good times did not last long, and before Liu Yan was happy for a few days, a news came that Wang Hanxin, the head of the Shannan Road March, had killed Zizhou Taishou Shan Kecheng!
This news is undoubtedly a bombshell for the court. Although Shan Kecheng himself can almost be said to have no impact on the political situation of the Silk Country, no matter how he says it, he is also a local official appointed by the emperor, Wang Hanxin's official position as the head of the Shannan Road march is indeed not a little higher than that of Shan Kecheng, but he does not have the right to arbitrarily act on the spot, he killed the court officials without reporting to the court, this move is simply too nonsense!
"This Wang Hanxin, why does he always want to cause trouble for me!" When Liu Yan heard the news, he directly smashed the dense porcelain wine glass in his hand.
Liu Yan really likes this young military general very much, there is always an exciting temperament in him, coupled with his excellent martial arts, he can be called the first person in the country of silk, and his contributions over the years are the most eye-catching, and he is a person who does not care about the gains and losses of his official position, and is dedicated to serving the country, it is impossible for Liu Yan not to look at him differently. But this person always has a problem of causing trouble, as long as he is not strict with a little care, he will cause trouble, every time Liu Yan in order to protect this love will always have to face the opposition of the courtiers, so Liu Yan can be said to be afraid of wiping Wang Hanxin's buttocks, but this one is still not angry, and it didn't take long for him to cause such a big trouble.
Killing an official of Shan Kecheng's level is really nothing for Liu Yan, and Liu Yan knows that Wang Hanxin must have a good reason to kill him even if he doesn't see the detailed report, but the problem is that such a thing can't be concealed no matter what, and those who have been trying to slander Wang Hanxin will definitely seize this opportunity to impeach Wang Hanxin fiercely. And Wang Hanxin really doesn't have the authority to kill Shan Kecheng, and this time it may be difficult for Liu Yan to protect him. Just thinking of this, Liu Yan's head swelled.
Liu Yan's first thought was his cronies, Taichang Shaoqing Wu Sicheng. If Liu Yan is like wiping Wang Hanxin's buttocks, then Wu Sicheng is undoubtedly wiping Liu Yan's buttocks. Over the years, he has done his best for Liu Yan's great cause of Huangtu, and he has done his best. It's a pity that this time Wu Sicheng happened to be sick at home and couldn't rush into the palace in time, and as a result, he was impeached by Wang Hanxin.
The impeachment of Wang Hanxin was headed by Qiu Yiru, a servant of Zhongshu Province, and more than 30 civil officials, including Zou Feng, Pi Longxian, and Wu Siwen, who were the crown princes. In the recital, Qiu Yiru counted Wang Hanxin's arbitrary actions after his arrival, changed the military layout of Shannan Province without authorization, mobilized the people to build roads regardless of the people's strength, and forcibly requisitioned grain to supply the remote city of Maozhou, making the people miserable, and he did not repent of changing the intensification, and killed Zizhou without authorization, and his behavior was no different from rebellion, so he asked the emperor to immediately remove him from his post and investigate and escort him back to Beijing for trial.
Liu Yan was so angry that he almost didn't tear it up when he saw this recital, he only learned about Wang Hanxin's killing of Shan Kecheng today, but Qiu Yiru's recital has already followed, and it also lists Wang Hanxin's various behaviors after his arrival, obviously these news cannot happen in one day. And except for Shan Kecheng's matter, he didn't know anything else in advance, which proves one thing, Qiu Yiru secretly detained the news of Shannan Dao, in order to be able to give himself a surprise attack, so that he could be caught off guard and difficult to parry. Liu Yan even doubted the timeliness of this news, it is possible that Qiu Yiru saw the opportunity of Wu Sicheng's illness before releasing the news and presenting it.
Qiu Yiru as one of the prime ministers of the Silk Country, his enthusiasm and dedication to the national economy and people's livelihood is undoubted, he has been committed to the development of the production of the Silk Country, improve the quality of life of the people, and it is precisely because of this that he and Liu Yan, who has been constantly waging wars since succeeding to the throne, is often in a confrontational situation, and this is what Liu Yan admires him the most, because Liu Yan needs a minister who can always remind himself not to forget the people. However, this Qiu Yiru also has his shortcomings, that is, because of his disgust with war, and then he is also prejudiced against all the generals who lead the troops abroad, he believes that it is because of these people's mentality of inviting merit that the war is endless, and the people's lives are in difficulty, and Wang Hanxin, the most dazzling of these generals, has naturally become a thorn in his side.
Liu Yan was very angry about Qiu Yiru's actions this time, because he had evolved to the point where he did not hesitate to conceal the news in order to defeat his political opponents. This is something that Liu Yan can't bear, because then Liu Yan's ears and eyes will be blinded, and it will be the first step for an emperor to be hollowed out.
But now Liu Yan has no real evidence in his hands, and now Qiu Yiru's henchmen are all over the court, and it is not so simple to find evidence. And Liu Yan is now facing a bigger problem, that is, how to deal with Wang Hanxin. Wang Hanxin's crime this time was a principled and sure thing, even if Liu Yan wanted to favor him, he couldn't ignore the laws of the country, otherwise Qiu Yiru would definitely use this to incite the Confucian scholars to rise up against him, which Liu Yan had to scruple about.
After thinking about it, Liu Yan decided to put this piece on hold for the time being. Although Qiu Yiru will definitely not buy it, Liu Yan just wants to kill his sharp qi first, and by the way, he can also use this to gain time to discuss with Wu Sicheng, and he can also win the power of the national ruler Hua Tianyu and the crown prince to help him.
But Liu Yan didn't expect that at the same time as he adopted delaying tactics, another piece of music was sent to Xue Boren, the secretary of the provincial servant and the military department. This recital was written by Wang Hanxin, and the content of the recital gave the already turbulent imperial court a greater impact - Tubo Flying Eagle Castle Defender Boer had already surrendered to Wang Hanxin!
