Chapter 243 Severance of Diplomatic Relations
The next morning, the impeachment of Li Shizhi and Pei Kuan was handed over like snowflakes. The civil and military officials have a keen sense of smell, and after the holy decree issued by Xuanzong yesterday, almost everyone understands that His Majesty has actually given up on Li Shizhi. Overnight, almost everyone made a choice in their favor, because it was clear that Li Linfu would use this decree to make a big fuss. And the only restriction given by His Majesty on this holy decree is that the foundation of the country must not be shaken.
What is the country's capital, the crown prince Li Heng is also. Xuanzong gave a clear attitude to protect the prince, and at the same time gave certain people a chance to vent their anger.
Li Shizhi was speechless, because he did have property dealings with Li Yong, and the number was not a few. Although many of the published evidence and confessions are fabricated. However, after most of the facts have been proven, the small amount of fabricated evidence mixed in with them will be taken for granted. And it is this small part of the evidence that outlines a terrible picture of Li Shizhi, Pei Kuan, Li Yong, Pei Dunfu and others colluding with power and money inside and outside.
Li Linfu had extremely rich experience in power struggles, and in just one night, he divided the sworn friends around Li Shizhi. The impeachment from the opponent has made it difficult for Li Shizhi to resist, not to mention the betrayal from within, which is what really chills Li Shizhi's heart. Li Shizhi's actions have never been so upright, and some of his things are also very insidious, when these things were exposed by the betrayers within the camp, he lost the ability to resist at the last time, and was completely dragged into the quagmire.
At the end of the morning, the early dynasty, which lasted for more than two hours, was finally coming to an end, and in the midst of verbal criticism, Li Shizhi gave up resistance, knelt on the ground to plead guilty, and asked for resignation from the post of right minister. Pei Kuan, the secretary of the household department, also asked for resignation from the post of secretary. Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yue, the head of the household department, Peng Tianzhang, the head of the military department, Chen Fang, the head of the military affairs room of the political affairs hall, Jiang Ping, the head of the household room, and Du Qingzhou, the director of the cardinal room, and other important officials of the DPRK and China were involved one after another. Li Shizhi pleaded guilty, and their insistence didn't mean much, only confessed and asked for forgiveness.
Although Xuanzong did not express his position, everyone knew that the dust had settled, and Li Shiyi's party had been completely uprooted. All this was actually expected by people for a long time, and from the moment Li Shizhi was full of energy to fight for power with Li Linfu, many people expected such an outcome. Li Shizhi is not Li Linfu's opponent at all, as long as Li Linfu wants to, he can crush this nerd who thinks he is smart into powder at any time.
After the dispersal of the dynasty, Wang Yuan silently walked down the steps of the main hall, it was almost noon, the sun was hot and dazzling, Wang Yuan's mood was very irritable and complicated. Li Shizhi's helpless appearance in the early dynasty made Wang Yuan feel very uncomfortable, and he was actually a part of overthrowing Li Shizhi, although Li Shizhi had been trying to attack Yang Shenjin and himself on the grounds of Li Yong's cause of death in the hall just now, but Wang Yuan actually had no hatred for Li Shizhi in his heart. Seeing this once unattainable figure fall under his nose and be stepped into the quagmire by everyone, I can't help but feel an indescribable feeling in my heart.
Returning to the long-lost Hanlin Academy, the old masters who had returned from the scattered dynasty were discussing in a low voice in the courtyard, and when they saw Wang Yuan coming in, the old lady was suddenly silent and looked at herself with a strange look. In the past, Wang Yuan was a backward in the Hanlin Academy, and the old masters even regarded him as a nephew, and they all smiled when they saw Wang Yuan, and some even joked with him. But now, there was a cold and distant look in their gaze, with a disdain that could not be concealed.
Wang Yuan knew that it was the masters who were blaming themselves for Li Shizhi's matter. Although he planned to say nothing this morning, every sentence of Yang Shenjin's remarks attacking Li Yong and Li Shizhi would be pulled up to prove it. As the deputy envoy for the investigation of the case, Wang Yuan had to nod his head at every sentence on the signed confession, although he knew that some of them were fabricated and falsely accused. The masters have always believed that the reason why Wang Yuan was able to get ahead was due to Li Shizhi's support, and now Wang Yuan's behavior is ungrateful.
"Hello masters." Wang Yuan politely bowed.
"I don't dare to take it." Lu Yuanji turned around coldly and left, and everyone else left one after another, but one person was still standing in place.
Wang Yuan recognized him, he was Yan Zhenqing. He wasn't a bachelor of Hallym Academy, but he didn't know why he was here.
Yan Zhenqing's face was calm, holding a roll of paper in his hand, and he saluted lightly towards Wang Yuan. Wang Yuan smiled: "Why did Yan Yushi come here?" ”
Yan Zhenqing said: "I'm here to find you." ”
Wang Yuan said: "What advice does Yan Yushi have?" ”
Yan Zhenqing handed over a roll of paper in his hand, Wang Yuan took it and looked at it, and said stunned: "What does this mean?" ”
Yan Zhenqing said softly: "This is the manuscript of your poem at the Pear Blossom Poetry Meeting, and Yan asked for it at that time because your poems are good words." Today, I came here to return it to its original owner. ”
Wang Yuan frowned and was silent, he realized Yan Zhenqing's intention.
Yan Zhenqing continued: "At the Pear Blossom Poetry Club, I admire you very much and think that you are a genius. But now Yan's opinion of you has changed. Poetry and literary talents are the end, standing up and upholding righteousness is the foundation, and the end can not be reversed. So, I don't want to stay with these things for a moment. ”
After Yan Zhenqing finished speaking, he gently bowed his hand, slowly walked out of the courtyard, and disappeared among the flowers and trees. Wang Yuan looked at his back blankly, sighed and gently tore the paper in his hand into pieces and threw it high.
Wang Yuan understood the feelings of these scribes, even if Li Shizhi was wrong, they were not the target of Li Shizhi's encirclement, but they still substituted themselves as Li Shizhi's side. Against Li Linfu, who was born in a martial arts, subconsciously, they supported Li Shizhi. What they did not only touched their hearts, but they also always thought that Li Shizhi was their benefactor, and in their minds they had become ungrateful, so they expressed such an attitude.
"I care what you think, but I won't be held hostage by your morals and values. I am different from you, I have my own goals and expectations, and you don't know the future as I know it. ”
In the snow of falling papers, Wang Yuan sighed and slowly walked into his public house.
In the afternoon, Wang Yuan was sleeping in the public house when he was suddenly awakened by the sound of talking in the courtyard. Sticking out his head to look out of the window, he saw a handyman talking to a woman standing in the courtyard, and Wang Yuan immediately recognized that woman was Qingyun'er in the mansion of Mrs. Qin Guo.
Wang Yuan hurriedly came out and pulled her into the public room, poured a glass of water for her, and fanned her with a fan. asked in a low voice, "Is Qing'er here to find me?" ”
Qingyun'er hurriedly said: "It was Madame who asked the slave maid to deliver the message, Madame learned that you have returned to Beijing, let the slave and maid come and ask you if you will go to the house in the afternoon, and Madame will prepare a banquet for you." ”
Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Go, of course I have to go, I can leave the palace in a while, and I am also about to go to Madame's house." ”
Qing Yun'er was overwhelmed by Wang Yuan's approaching face, and hurriedly stood up and said, "That's good, the slave will go back to report to Madame." ”
Wang Yuan looked at her beautiful side face, her fair skin was slightly red because of the hot weather, her eyes were lowered, and her eyelashes were curled, which was very attractive. So he whispered: "We haven't seen each other for many days, Qing'er, do you want me?" ”
Qingyun'er was at a loss, and hurriedly got up and said, "I'...... I have to go. ”
Wang Yuan dropped the fan, forced her into a corner, and said in a low voice: "If you don't answer, I won't allow you to leave." ”
"Childe, if the slave doesn't go back, Madame should be in a hurry." Qingyun'er pleaded.
Wang Yuan hooked her chin and said, "Does what you said in Madame's mansion that day count?" Your wife wants to give you to me, and you also said that you want to follow me, does it count? ”
Qing Yun'er's face flushed, and she said in a low voice: "Of course...... Count. ”
Wang Yuan said in a low voice: "Then am you still so restrained when you see me?" You're my person, and you can't be so restrained when you see me. ”
Qing Yun'er raised her eyes to look at Wang Yuan, suddenly stretched out her arms to hook Wang Yuan's head and neck, and stood on tiptoe to put her red lips together. Wang Yuan was very happy in his heart, held her face and kissed her for a moment, and said with a smile: "Do you think I'm shameless?" ”
Qing Yun'er frowned and thought for a moment, and actually nodded slowly. Wang Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, let go of her body and said, "I didn't expect you to really look at me like this, I'm so sad." Don't make a fuss, you go to report to Madame, and say I'll be there in a moment. ”
Qingyun'er nodded in agreement, sorted out her clothes and went out, and when she arrived at the door, she suddenly turned around and said with a smile: "The slave was joking with you just now, don't be angry, you are not shameless at all." ”
At the end of noon, he could finally leave the palace, and the thought of going to see the beautiful Mrs. Qin Guo made Wang Yuan's heart agitated. And there is also his own student Liu Jun, who has not seen him for many days and thinks of that kid, he is a teacher who has not taught many really useful things, and Liu Jun respects himself very much.
