Chapter 1813 Defeat is about to be decided, and the world is hot and cold
Wen Sihai hurriedly stood up and said, "I can't help it, how dare Wen someone be such a big gift to the Duke of Qin?"
"Deserve it, deserve it, whether you can wash away the injustice for my Guo Ye, it's all up to you"
Wen Sihai smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Qin Guogong, and the old man can't do anything about this matter." [with _ dream]ā"
"No, it won't. Didn't Mr. Wen claim to be the number one criminal in the Chang'an Mansion, didn't he say that the official broke ten roads, how could he be helpless about this matter?"
"Well, if it's something else. Not to mention ten roads, even twenty roads, the old man can help you find out. However, this case is different. ”
"How is it different?"
"The so-called official breaks ten roads. It can only be said that there are ten judgments that do not violate the law. But if you want to convince the public, I'm afraid there is only one way. Now that the Chang'an Evening News is out, the whole court, the military and the people, etc., are all watching, and there is no room for maneuver at all."
Speaking of this, Wen Sihai was a little embarrassed, and said: "I am old and incompetent, and I am really ashamed that I can't solve problems for Qin Guogong."
Guo Ye waved his hand and said, "Mr. Wen doesn't have to blame himself, if it weren't for you, Guo wouldn't have been able to see the crisis." Now that you have precautions, you can take precautions. Mr. Wen has made a lot of credit for what he has done today. ”
"Thank you Qin Guogong for your understanding. Although the old man can't give you advice, but the auspicious people have their own natural appearance, and the old man believes that you will eventually turn evil into good fortune and become auspicious in trouble."
Guo Yeqiang smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words"
Even Wen Sihai can't help an old fritter, Guo Ye knows that he is really in trouble this time.
It turned out that the Chang'an Evening News, the report on the business war between himself and the five major scholars, and the introduction of his life. It's not to help yourself make a name for yourself, everything is to give yourself a fatal blow today
Now, the people of Chang'an City, civil and military officials, all know very well about the business war between themselves and the five major scholars.
In other words, he is now convicted of his crimes.
The prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, not to mention that he is not a prince at all
Nearly a million pairs of eyes were staring at His Majesty Li Er, just looking at what he was doing with himself. In this case, no matter how much His Majesty Li Er pampers himself, it is impossible to defend himself anymore.
I'm afraid that this time, it's really a catastrophe
Facts have proved that Wen Sihai is not exaggerating, and Guo Ye's conjecture is not far from the truth.
The next day, the Chang'an Evening News conducted a detailed analysis of how Guo Ye should be convicted.
It publishes all the relevant legal provisions in the Tang Dynasty regulations. The final conclusion was that Qin Guogong was innocent of his death, and even if His Majesty Li Er showed extrajudicial favors, he would have to take away all his official positions, send him back to his hometown, and never use it.
When the people read this report, most of them applauded
It's not that everyone has a grudge against Guo Ye, nor is it that Guo Ye has a bad reputation.
The real reason for this state of affairs is that it is really the most popular thing for the broad masses of the people to see the bad luck of the big people who were high up in the past.
As for the officialdom, a wave of impeachment of Guo Ye is blowing rapidly.
Among the people who impeached Guo Ye, some were entrusted by the five major scholars, some had enmity with Guo Ye, and some took advantage of the fire to rob. ,
The evidence of Qin Guogong Guo Ye's violation of the law is conclusive. Who doesn't want to do the thing of beating the water dogs?
As for the people who helped Guo Ye speak, it was not for nothing. For example, Guo Ye's elder brother Wei Chigong, for example, Wei Guogong Li Jing, for example, the future prime minister's successor Ma Zhou Ma Yuanju and so on.
However, no matter how much these people help Guo Ye speak, they can't change his predicament.
Reason goes all over the world, and it is difficult to move an inch without reason.
You Guo Ye broke the law, and you signed and admitted it, how should you punish it, the provisions of the law are all condemned to death. The most important thing is that the details of this case are already known to everyone.
Under such circumstances, it is simply an impossible task to change public opinion.
Over the next few days, Guo's condition deteriorated rapidly.
First of all, Father-in-law Shun secretly came to see him and announced that His Majesty Li Er ordered him to take the initiative to resign from the post of Chang'an Ling.
For Chang'an Ling, Guo Ye certainly has no nostalgia. If it weren't for this unlucky position, why would he be so embarrassed today, he immediately wrote a note and asked Gonggong Shun to transfer it to His Majesty Li Er.
In this recital, Guo Ye not only resigned from the Chang'an Order, but also resigned from the post of General of the Leading Army.
Resigned from this position, of course he was well thought out.
The general of the leading army was responsible for the security of Chang'an City. Their own industries are mainly distributed in Chang'an City. If you don't resign from this position, you can't justify it anyway.
However, he soon found out that the resignation of these two positions did not calm public opinion. On the contrary, this move further fueled the arrogance of the imperial historians to demand a thorough investigation of Qin Guogong's recitals, which flew into the palace like snowflakes.
What can I do about this, continue to retreat, I am afraid that those imperial historians will be even more inch-inch. But if you don't continue to resign, how will this matter end?
Guo Ye didn't worry for long, and someone helped him make a decision. This person is none other than His Majesty Li Er.
I don't know that Zhang Liang used means, taking advantage of Guo Ye's anxiety, he entered the palace to see the driver, regained the trust of His Majesty Li Er, and ordered him to be reinstated.
At this time, Guo Ye's real function is only the Ministry of Rites. If he resigns from this post again, he can only go home to retire at an "advanced age" of less than 30 years old.
By this time, the offensive of public opinion had finally subsided. Those who play Taiping Quan know that if they continue to impeach Guo Ye, they will have a mortal enmity with Qin Guogong.
What can you do if Guo Yedou is downed this time, there is a way to be in Hedong for thirty years, and Hexi for thirty years. Guo Ye is still young, enough to wait for another twenty or thirty years.
When the time comes, your children and grandchildren will have to pay a terrible price for what you do today.
As for the people who were controlled by the Five Great Warrior Clans, as well as Guo Ye's enemies. They temporarily withdrew their fists, not to let Guo Ye go, but to fight more vigorously next time
At this sensitive moment, Li Quan appeared in the mansion of the Duke of Qin.
"Hehe, the injury on the buttocks of the Li family master healed very quickly, and it was alive and well so quickly. It's really gratifying," Guo Ye sneered.
Li Quan said: "Thank you Qin Guogong for your concern. On the street that day, Li did not dare or forget the teachings of the people below. ”
"Yo he, could it be that the head of the Li family still wants to take revenge."
"Where, where. Qin Guogong misunderstood. In fact, Li Mou came today, not to declare war on the Duke of Qin, but to turn war into peace."
"Turn hostility into jade silk" Guo Ye sneered and said: "I don't think that there is still a possibility of reconciliation between us." ”
Li Quan shook his head and said, "Qin Guogong's words are wrong. Yes, we used to have a lot of misunderstandings. However, if you think about it, in so many conflicts, it is our five great warrior clans who have suffered, and not only is your side unscathed, but there are also a lot of inputs, what can't you let go?"
"My job is now only the position of the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and it is still called unscathed."
"Qin Guogong Zhenglong, as long as you can pass this level, your majesty will return those duties to you sooner or later. There is no real loss. ”
"Even if what you say is reasonable, but you five great warriors, you have lost so much money, and there is a family master who died because of me, will you give up?"
Li Quan said: "Li promises you that as long as you promise one thing, our previous grievances will be written off." Not only that, but we, the five great scholars, will also help you tide over the difficulties in front of you. ”
"There is a proverb in the Far West that there is no such thing as a free lunch. I'm afraid your condition is not so simple."
"No, it's very simple. It's the same as when I thought I was in Banqiao Town, Elder Li Leyong made the same request to you. ”
"Please also ask the head of the Li family to explain in detail again."
"In some things in the future, as long as you turn a blind eye and go with the flow, you will be able to gain the friendship of our five great clans. It's not too much."
