Chapter 1085: Ambition is rampant
When Yang Zhao came out of Xingqing Palace, he was full of energy. This meeting was the greatest harvest in his life, and under his best efforts, the Son of Heaven not only greatly praised his request to change his name since Chen Zhao's poor handwriting, and gladly gave him the name Yang Guozhong, but did not hand over the position of right minister to him first, but instructed him to take over the position of Jing Zhaoyin first. As for the prime minister, let Chen Xilie temporarily take it alone. After all, Yang Zhao, who was only in the middle of the imperial history before, is really a little far away from the position of prime minister.
And the first thing Yang Guozhong has to do if he wants to take that step to the sky is to thoroughly investigate the source of the nine songs. Of course, with such a stirring up of the people, the Son of Heaven also knew that it would definitely cause an uproar in Shilin, so he simply hinted that the public case between Yang Shenjin and Wang Ji could be turned over.
The Yang Spring and Autumn Period of the year slandered the previous dynasty, slandered the virtuous and loyal ministers, reversed right and wrong, and must be strictly and thoroughly investigated!
This is not an easy errand, but Yang Guozhong does not find it difficult at all, but secretly ecstatic. He is worried that even if he enters the political affairs hall, he will not be able to find someone to make a reason, after all, it has been a while since he presided over the trial of Yang Shenjin and Wang Jie, and if the new official can't find a breakthrough now, then the shadow of Li Linfu will always hang over his head! As for Li Linfu, who is already dead, although he patted his chest and played a lot of tickets in his last days, he was always thinking about using this powerful minister who had reigned for nearly 20 years.
When a person is alive, he can't help it, and the posthumous gift of the Son of Heaven to Li Linfu made his hope come to naught, and An Lushan won such a battle again!
But now, he doesn't have to worry anymore. With the sword of Shang Fang tracking down the people of Beibi Mountain, he can do a vigorous battle, and let everyone inside and outside the DPRK know that from now on, Li Linfu's era has completely ended, and it is time to replace it with his Yang Guozhong's era! Even An Lushan, he can use this to check and balance, and he can even clean up the fat man of Na'an!
Early in the morning, I saw that on the streets and alleys of Chang'an City, a large number of wolf-like servants suddenly appeared, breaking into shops with the names of various bookstores. In recent years, the bookstore has become increasingly popular in Chang'an City, especially all kinds of legendary stories have emerged in endlessly, and there are super long serial versions that are completely different from the past, or a chapter in three or five days, or a period of ten days and a half a month, and even in the wine shop and tea shop, there are storytellers who take the original to sing, and there were only a dozen or twenty bookstores at one time, but now there are one or two hundred in the huge city! Not to mention ordinary scholars, even the family of the ministers and dignitaries, there are a lot of good ones, **** follow to listen to the following.
Therefore, when I heard that it was the person arrested by Jing Zhao Yin and the bookstore that was seized, some people knew the stakes and only shrunk their heads as turtles, but there were also people with stakeholders who ran to Jing Zhao Mansion to ask for an understanding. Yang Zhao, who was appointed as a new official, didn't think about it at first, but just claimed that he was from the northern mountains under the holy order, but as more and more people inquired about the news, he keenly sensed that something was wrong. In the evening, when the confessions collected by those in prison were delivered to him, even if he was so proud of his holy grace, he could not help but change his color in the face of this dense mass of names.
Who says these are just "small" bookstores? Most of the small bookstores in this sparrow are not one, but often a string of seven or eight bookstores belong to a backstage, and who are those backstagers?
The Son of Heaven's mother's family, the Dou family, Jing Zhao's surname Yuwen's family, and almost everyone has a share in the concubines behind several princesses, none of these matters, the most terrible thing is that he never knew that the Yang family was also involved in it!
Yang Guozhong angrily went to ask Yang Jian and Yang Qian the two brothers in person, but their answers made him very annoyed. But it turned out that they heard that the bookstore sold books and made a lot of money, so they were instigated by others, so they ordered their domestic slaves to open a total of twelve bookstores in one breath in the east and west cities, and several people in the city came and went to the inner square where the scholars gathered. It is such a small business, which is praised by others, and does not disturb the people, and can earn a lot of money every year with a little ingenuity.
"Where did those books come from?"
Yang Guozhong's words asked the wrong person again, although Yang Jian and Yang Qian said that he had managed the industry for his uncle Yang Xuanyan in his early years, but the status of the Yang family has risen sharply over the years, and they have also become blessed people who do not touch the spring water with ten fingers, who will manage specific industries? Even if Yang Guozhong summoned all the stewards and servants in charge of this matter and asked them sternly, the final result was that they only paid the money to collect the books and sell them, and no one knew where the books came from and where those printing houses were. He didn't give up, so he simply re-questioned them one by one, but the result was no different.
The Yang family is like this, Yang Guozhong, who originally rolled up his sleeves and was ready to chase to the end, no longer expects to find any real evidence from other family members. Since he had given up on tracking down the truth, he naturally came up with the second set of methods that he had prepared for a long time. Sure enough, he just drew a gourd in the same way, and used the same trick that Jiwen tried that year to knock on the mountain and kill the tiger and kill the chicken and monkey, and immediately a timid guy shopkeeper cried and shouted for a confession, and then under his hint and confession, he soon got the answer he wanted.
Yiqiē was ready, but in order to show his loyalty, Yang Guozhong still delayed the time to report to the Son of Heaven to ten days later. And in the past ten days, as the people from various bookstores have been released one after another, only a few unlucky ghosts with no background have become shops that have been blocked and the personnel have been detained.
Compared with Yang Guozhong's once-troubled action, it was the Li Mansion in Pingkangfang who held Li Linfu's funeral more eye-catching. As for those who are completely incompatible with Li Linfu, some disdain to make trouble in this kind of other people's bones, and some seem to be generous enough to die, but more seem to be still accumulating their feelings in silence. For example, when Wang Jin visited his brother Wang Wei in Beiye in the mountains, he bluntly expressed his dissatisfaction with Li Linfu's great grief after his death.
However, what can he expect Wang Wei, who is now more sad than dead, and only has a bunch of hair more than a monk, to say? Even if he was sent by Li Linfu to Lingnan to choose the south, Wang Wei actually said that he had forgotten it.
Complaining is complaining, Wang Jin is still relaxed about Li Linfu's fall in the end. For example, if Wang Zhonghe's case really continues to be investigated this time, it is certain that the East Palace will be implicated, even if there is now another Zhang Liangdi in the East Palace who is related to the Dou family, the mother of the Son of Heaven, he may not be able to be safe. Although he deliberately waited for his favor to enter the court, he had never left the center of the imperial court over the years, and the speed of promotion may not be as fast as Du Shiyi's direct sky, but it was already extremely impressive. Coupled with the line of the crown prince, he even faintly calculated the seat of the political hall.
Now of course, he is not qualified enough, and the Son of Heaven clearly likes Yang Guozhong, but now that the political hall is showing a unique pattern, can Chen Xilie bear it?
is just a casual attendant, but now he secretly slanders the question of whether the dignified left minister can bear it, which seems a little ridiculous. But when Wang Jin just stepped into the door with his front foot, a servant on his back foot chased in, and he didn't even have time to retreat from the idle people, so he said bluntly: "Ah Lang, something is wrong!" Jingzhao Yin Yang Guozhong played Li Linfu's many crimes, the most important of which was that the Yin Command secretly planned to write the Spring and Autumn Period of the Yang family, provoked Yang Shenjin and Wang Ji to fight, and put him to death! ”
Yang Shenjin was knocked down by Wang Jieyin when he was the most popular, and at the same time, he also brought Wang Jiao into the ditch. The two people who were still somewhat related to each other both died together, which also caused a lot of uproar at the time, and Wang Jin certainly would not forget it. At that time, the rumors of Yang's Spring and Autumn may have been a fuse, but he would never have thought that Li Linfu, as the prime minister, would use such a technique. However, the reason why Wang Ji would attack Yang Shenjin was because he got Li Linfu's hint, and he felt that such a guess was more credible. It's just that Yang Shenjin pulled Wang Jiao into the water, which should have surprised Li Linfu.
But now that Li Linfu is dead, only those sons and sons-in-law who have vain names are left, since an old fox like Xiao Jiong has even lost the position of Jing Zhaoyin, his words are naturally weightless, as for the others...... According to legend, Yang Guozhong, who reached an agreement with Li Linfu and even accepted several of Li Linfu's henchmen decently, can show his fangs, and who else will help a dead man? Back then, Pei Guangting encountered Xiao Song's trick when closing the coffin, but fortunately, there was a good son who stood up and argued, but does Li Linfu have such a bold son? Is there such a bold son-in-law?
Thinking of his brother's grievances over the years, Wang Jin suddenly laughed gloatingly. Is...... Deserve!
Just when the news of Yang Guozhong's counterattack against Li Linfu spread in a moment, and all the dignitaries in Chang'an City were stunned and frightened, the answer quickly surfaced.
Yang Qixuan, one of Li Linfu's sons-in-law, actually wrote a letter claiming that the so-called misdeeds of Yang Shenjin and Wang Jiao, the restoration of the former dynasty and other charges were all concocted by his father-in-law!
In the face of such a counterattack from the closest role of Li Linfu in the past, Yang Guozhong deliberately dragged out these few days and contacted those who were not on good terms with Li Linfu in the early years, and jumped out one after another to attack, and for a while, Li Linfu, who had been in power for nearly 20 years and had few even impeachers, encountered an impeachment storm that was even more severe than the previous Wang Zhonghei case not long after his death. Even if Zhang Boji took the lead, Li Linfu's sons and other sons-in-law ran to contact each other, and did everything, everyone could see that the general trend had gone.
In Yuzhenguan, Princess Gu'an, who was keenly watching every move outside, couldn't help but look thoughtfully at the sinister endgame when she learned that the Son of Heaven was actually repenting to Li Linfu's words left and right, and then sneered at Zhang Yao.
"Ah Di concocted these nine songs, originally to see if our majesty can wake up, don't be reckless at every turn, so that all the marshals are full of strength to seek side credit, the people are not happy, and the generals are poor, but I didn't expect to be used by Yang Guozhong, and it was actually involved in the dead Li Linfu, even if he has the ability to be a monarch and minister! Now, Ah Di doesn't have to think about anything to set things right, looking at this way, Yang Guozhong will be on the throne next, since he has taken Li Linfu Liwei, I'm afraid that it will be Ah Di's turn next. Although he has been waiting for this day for a long time, he doesn't know what he will think when it comes to the end! ”
