Chapter 398: Hors d'oeuvres
As soon as the edict to dismiss the Yin of Taiyuan Mansion came out, it was only a day, and everyone was shocked!
No one thought that His Royal Highness the Prince, who has always been gentle, would act so decisively this time, you know, Taiyuan Mansion Yin is just an ordinary recital, even if something is wrong, reprimanding is already the limit, why should he be dismissed from office?
I have to say that most of the courtiers think so, and some say the same thing!
For example, Wang Jiantong, the imperial historian, who was talking in the court. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"The queen's mother is graceful, and the minister impeached the prince of the East Palace for abusing his power, arbitrarily electing, shielding his cronies, please check it out!"
On the throne, Li Zhi's seat is still empty, and today's court meeting is still presided over by Empress Wu!
Hearing Wang Jiantong's indignant words, Empress Wu's brows furrowed slightly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her eyes, she naturally knew the beginning and end of this matter, so she even more disagreed with Li Hong's behavior of acting against the Taiyuan Wang clan so rashly.
In the eyes of the Empress Wu, these gate valve clans are deep-rooted, and if they want to move, they must be prepared neatly, and they will be killed with one blow!
Use the fastest and most ruthless means!
It's a pity that Empress Wu glanced at the throne next to her, feeling a little depressed, and she didn't know where Li Zhi's confidence came from, so she connived at Li Hong to let go of it......
Now that she is above the court, even she is not good at turning a blind eye to the impeachment in front of all the ministers!
"Prince, do you have an explanation for this?"
After a while, Empress Wu's expression finally moved slightly, and she asked Li Hong, who was calm on the side, in a cold voice.
"Queen Mother, the matter of Taiyuan Mansion Yin is his own fault, Di Renjie went to Taiyuan to investigate the case on the order of his son, not leaving his post without permission, then Taiyuan Mansion Yin was instructed by someone to detain court officials without a decree, and it is a big crime to see the edict of the East Palace and not obey it, but he has been deposed as the Yin of Taiyuan Mansion, and it is already a son's leniency!"
Li Hong's face remained unchanged, and he stepped forward and opened his mouth.
Although the words were in front of Empress Wu, the corner of his eye was glancing at Wang Jiantong on the side, and the corner of his mouth lifted a disdainful smile.
"Your Royal Highness's words are wrong, Fu Yin is the duty of guarding the border and securing the people, Taiyuan Fu Yin is dutifully checking the displaced people, even if the behavior is slightly wrong, why can it provoke His Royal Highness to be so angry, not to mention that His Royal Highness said that Di Renjie is ordered to investigate the case, and please ask His Royal Highness to make it clear to me, within the border of my Tang Dynasty, Di Renjie is the Dali Temple, what case needs to be hidden? When he left Chang'an, did he go to the government hall and go to Taiyuan, did he ever inform the Taiyuan Mansion Yin? ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Hong opened his mouth, Wang Jiantong became excited, and a series of words were thrown out, and he didn't even breathe.
After that, he looked at Li Hong with a smug face.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is now in a stable position in the court, if he wants to break his wrist with the Taiyuan Wang family, I am afraid that he does not have the strength!
But after thinking about it, if it weren't for this kind of thing, I, a side disciple, wouldn't know when I would be able to enter the eyes of the big house? Thinking that he would have the care of a big house in the future and the scene of his career soaring, Wang Jiantong's face became even more excited......
It's just that this mood made Li Hong look at it, but he shook his head secretly, the poor thing is not cannon fodder, he is being used as cannon fodder, and he doesn't know yet!
"Faithful?"
The corners of Li Hong's mouth flashed with a disdainful smile, and he slowly took out a piece of music from his sleeve and said lightly.
"Queen Mother, this is the inside story that Di Renjie learned by chance when he was investigating in Taiyuan!"
Wu Liangfu, who was knowledgeable, had already hurriedly walked to Li Hong's side, took the fold and sent it to the hands of the Empress Wu, and at the same time, Li Hong's movements did not stop, he turned around, and a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes.
"This compromise is explained in detail, the former Taiyuan Mansion Yin Wanghong accepted bribes, set up slaves, forcibly occupied acres of land, and even deceived the upper and lower levels, deceived the people who tested the merits of the Ministry of Officials, Wang Yushi, every crime on this is conclusive, you take a closer look, this is the person you say is loyal to your duties!"
Is this Taiyuan Wang really the person sent by Li Hong in the mud?
Di Renjie's methods of investigating the case, even he Li Hong admired it, otherwise how could he be accepted as a disciple by Zhang Wenqian and taught carefully?
This Wang family plans to use him to do it, but he is really looking for the wrong person!
Not to mention that Taiyuan Mansion Yin is not a person with clean hands and feet, relying on himself to be the eldest brother of the Taiyuan Wang family, he usually grabs a lot of bad things!
It didn't take much effort at all, Di Renjie brought out a bunch of incriminating evidence!
It would be light to depose him at home and think about it!
"What a daring!"
At the same time, Empress Wu also finished reading the notebook in her hand, her pretty face was frosty, and her voice was extremely cold.
"Pass the decree, remove all Wang Hongyin's errands, immediately escort him to Beijing, and order the Criminal Department to investigate the case in detail, and be sure to deal with it according to the law!"
Obviously, the queen mother was very angry, and she didn't even ask the opinions of the ministers, and made her will directly, without even giving anyone room for refutation!
A smile appeared on Li Hong's face, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes, staring at Wang Jiantong, who was pale.
"Wang Yushi, this is what you call a good official who is loyal to his duties?"
The voice was flat and repeated again, but it made Wang Jiantong break out of a fine and dense cold sweat on his forehead, you know, the imperial history is not unfounded nonsense, he just praised Wang Hongyin for his due diligence on his front foot, and in a blink of an eye, Li Hong threw out Wang Hongyin's guilt, which is his dereliction of duty!
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince forgives his sins, the minister didn't check for a while, and he was deceived by the traitor, I hope to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to forgive his sins!"
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Jiantong's face turned a little paler, and his voice said with a bit of pleading.
However, Li Hong obviously didn't plan to let him go like this, since he dared to jump out and be the first person to eat crabs, he had to be ready, is this a poisonous crab!
"Wang Yushi, if I'm not mistaken, you and that Wang Hongyin are cousins!"
Li Hong's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of banter in his voice.
If you want to say that this family has an advantage, you can have a little relationship, such as the Wang Jiantong in front of you, he and Wang Hongyin are cousins, this is real, but in the Wang family, there are brothers and sisters, not to mention that their two cousins who are not close to each other may not even meet each other......
To say that this Wang Jiantong has been in the court for a few years, and he doesn't know anything, when he heard Li Hong's words, he suddenly secretly screamed in his heart that it was too late.
"You know that Wang Hongyin is your cousin, not only do you not want to avoid suspicion, but you confuse right and wrong, do not distinguish between loyalty and treachery, wantonly frame Lonely, invite fame to buy straight, do you have anything to say about this case?"
Li Hong's voice was cold, and one sentence knocked Wang Jiantong into the abyss.
The so-called imperial history, the most important name, as soon as this incident comes out, his reputation will be ruined, for his relatives, framing and impeaching the prince of the East Palace, will surely become a stain on his life, I am afraid that his career will also end here......
opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't say anything, and lowered his head in frustration, Wang Jiantong suddenly regretted it, and rashly agreed to come over to impeach His Royal Highness the Prince, which is simply asking for his own death......
This is the end of a courtly meeting!
Wang Jiantong did not receive substantial punishment, but he just thought about it behind closed doors, but it is conceivable that his reputation is ruined, and his career may end here!
In this first round, Li Hong was considered to have won, but what he knew in his heart was that this was just an appetizer, and Wang's methods would never stop there!
