Chapter Thirty-Six: Turning the Clouds and Rain
Chapter 36 Raising a glass and drinking after the clouds and rain, an atmosphere of joy is as festive as yesterday. However, Li Changguo found that many ministers looked around and looked absent-minded.
The Yang clan has done many evils and is extremely powerful, and its fate will be revealed today. If the Yang clan is overthrown, the entire pattern of the DPRK and China will undergo tremendous changes, and many of the Yang clan's minions will be eradicated, and there will be a chance to be promoted.
As Li Changguo expected, after three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, there will be ministers to participate in Yang's performance.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song." A minister stood up and spoke loudly.
"Oh." Li Longji was a little surprised: "What is this? Is it for the soldiers? You don't have to worry about it, I have my own decision. Just wait for the end of the celebration, and I will reward the soldiers. ”
According to the proposed schedule, the meritorious soldiers should be rewarded after the celebration banquet on the third day.
"Your Majesty does not forget the great achievements of the soldiers, and the ministers admire them. However, this is not the case with the minister's foundation. The minister hurriedly explained.
"No, it's not. I thought you were going to take credit for the soldiers. Since it's not, don't talk about it, let's talk about it later. Li Longji waved his hand and said, "On such a festive occasion, don't say what you can." ”
The pacification of Tibet is a miracle feat in the world, Li Longji is overjoyed, and he devotes his whole mind to celebrating, as long as it is not a very important state matter, he will not deal with it.
"Your Majesty, this matter is extremely important, and please give your Majesty a moment to the minister, and let the minister say a word." The minister's voice was a little high, and his tone was unusually determined.
"In that case, you can say it." Li Longji put down his wine glass.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The minister was very excited and said, "The minister wants to impeach the Yang family." ”
This remark has earth-shattering power, the ministers stopped eating, stopped drinking, and focused their eyes on Li Longji.
The impeachment of Yang was too important, and the ministers were very nervous.
"What did you say?" Li Longji was very surprised, obviously did not react, hesitated for a moment, then understood, and said in a deep voice: "You want to impeach the Yang family?" What is Young's fault? ”
Although there was a lot of conflict between him and Yang Guifei's sisters, he still had no idea of punishing Yang. After all, Yang Guifei is his heart, and it is impossible to kill the Yang family for this conflict.
At first hearing this, he was shocked and didn't react for a long time.
Hearing his extremely unkind tone, the minister trembled in his heart, but he gritted his teeth and said: "Your Majesty, the Yang family is full of wealth and wealth, but it has done many evils, bullying men and women, seizing people's land, and invading people's real estate...... Its sins are extremely heinous, and they are rare in ancient and modern times. Your Majesty, please take a look. He took out a book from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Li Changguo glanced at some Li Linfu, and secretly said in his heart, Li Linfu has good means, the incident only happened last night, and today he has collected all the charges.
Li Linfu has long regarded Yang Guozhong as the biggest threat, and has long been secretly collecting criminal evidence, just waiting for the opportunity and holding back. Last night, this kind of thing happened in the palace, and when the time is ripe, of course he won't miss it.
Gao Lishi stepped forward quickly, took the piece, and presented it to Li Longji. Li Longji took it in his hand, unfolded it and took a look, his brows furrowed.
The ministers were all nervous, looking at Li Longji, their eyes wide open, for fear of missing a detail.
Whether or not the Yang family can be brought down, in this move, it is not possible to ask the ministers not to be nervous.
However, what disappointed them was that Li Longji did not have the slightest abnormality except for frowning.
Even Li Linfu, who was sinking like the sea in the city, was not calm, and his expression was a little nervous.
Bringing down Yang Guozhong and getting rid of this biggest threat is his most urgent task at the moment. If he fails, his position will be unsafe.
What's more, if the Yang family can't be brought down in the current situation, then there will be no more chance. Once the Yang family survives this hurdle, it will definitely be more arrogant, and Yang Guozhong's comeback may be more likely to be surnamed, and the threat to his phase will be greater.
Everyone knows that Yang Guifei was once kicked out of the palace, and later returned to the palace, and the turmoil was bigger than now. It is precisely because of this turmoil that Yang's arrogance is as high as Zhongtian, and no one dares to provoke it.
If this kind of thing happens again, who can stop Yang's arrogance?
The crown prince Li Heng was anxious, like a restless monkey who could not calm down, so he almost looked around.
For him, the Yang clan is a huge threat, and as long as the Yang clan exists for a day, his position will be threatened for a day. You must know that one Li Linfu is enough for him, and with one more Yang, he will be even more sad.
Not to mention, Yang Guozhong once teamed up with Li Linfu to deal with him, forcing him to retire his beloved crown princess in order to protect himself. This is a deep hatred, how can you not repay it?
An Lushan didn't make any moves, in fact, he was also very nervous. On the surface, he is Yang Guifei's righteous son, but in fact, he knows very well that he is just using Yang Guifei's identity to reap greater benefits. It is precisely because of this that he and Yang Guozhong are very different, because Yang Guozhong is jealous of him competing for favor and disintegrating the Yang family's power. If the Yang family is killed, Yang Guifei's only arm will be He An Lushan, and at that time, his benefits will be great.
In the anxiety of everyone, I saw that Li Longji finally put down the music in his hand and looked calm: "What you said is true?" ”
"Your Majesty, it is true, and there is no lie." The minister replied with great certainty.
"What if it's false?" Li Longji asked.
"Willing to be tortured by the Tang Dynasty." The minister didn't think about it, and blurted out.
What is written on the recital is true, there is absolutely no mistake, and he is full of confidence.
"Who else has a concerto?" To everyone's surprise, Li Longji asked loudly.
What is the purpose of "this ......" Li Longji? No one understands, even Li Changguo is confused, he glanced at Li Linfu, Li Linfu's eyebrows were tightened, obviously, he couldn't figure it out.
"Today is a celebration feast, and these things should have been said. Now that you've talked about it, let's talk about it. If you don't say it, this celebration banquet won't be festive. Li Longji's explanation is reasonable, and many ministers are eager to try.
However, after all, no one dares to be the first bird.
"Say, the speaker is not guilty, and I will not punish the crime." Li Longji waved his hand angrily.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song." As soon as his words fell, a thud rang out.
Li Longji said that he would not be punished in front of so many people, and their last worries were dispelled, and they were very enthusiastic.
"One by one." Li Longji pointed to a minister and said, "You say." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The first merit of suing the Yang family has been taken away, and this time the merit has finally arrived, and he is very excited: "Speaking of the Yang family's crime, it is difficult to write about it, the Yang family is not destroyed, and the Tang Dynasty is rest......less."
What followed was an impassioned statement, which explained the crimes that Yang had done over the years one by one, in great detail, with time, place, and human and material evidence, and only brought these criminal evidence to the main hall.
Li Longji looked attentive, listened carefully, and couldn't help nodding. Until the minister finished speaking, he did not make a sound, let alone say anything, and asked the next minister to speak.
Under Li Longji's name, the ministers came together one by one, and the result was that the basic charges were almost the same, except for the difference in the tone and choice of words in their speech.
After listening to more than a dozen ministers, Li Longji did not ask the ministers to speak by name, but turned his head and asked, "Prime Minister, what they said is true?" ”
These ministers were either Li Linfu's people, or the crown prince Li Heng's people, or An Lushan's people, no matter which side they belonged to, they were today for a common goal: to bring down the Yang family.
Of course, Li Linfu would not veto: "Your Majesty, everything is true, and there is absolutely no lie." This is all the minister's negligence, and he didn't realize that the Yang family had done so much evil, and the minister asked His Majesty to punish him. ”
An old fox, retreating as advance.
"What about the prince?" Li Longji didn't say anything and asked the crown prince Li Heng.
"Father, the sons and daughters know that the Yang family has done so much evil that is heartwarming, and the sons ......" Before the crown prince Li Heng finished speaking, he waved his hand to Li Longji and interrupted.
"Lushan, what do you say?" Li Longji finally asked An Lushan.
"Your Majesty, what the ministers said, the ministers have been in the field for a long time, and they don't know whether it's true or false, so they don't dare to say anything." An Lushan is a shrewd person, and he will never say that what these ministers say is true, because he has been in the field for a long time, and if he admits it directly, he will fall into the hands of others. Li Longji will think, you have been out of town for a long time, but you even know about the affairs of Beijing, and your hand is stretched too long.
"However, the minister said yesterday that he saw the arrogance, domineering, and arrogance of the Yang family, and he didn't take the laws of the Tang Dynasty in his eyes." An Lushan changed his words and said: "Yang Xi was just knighted because of his father, and he couldn't have been able to celebrate the banquet, but because he was a child of the Yang family, he not only participated in the celebration banquet, but also spoke wild words and insulted the warriors of the Tang Dynasty. ”
"Hmm!" As soon as the words began, they attracted a chorus of echoes.
Because of this, everyone, including Li Longji, saw it with their own eyes.
"Yang Zhao not only did not punish Yang Xi, but instead said wildly that he wanted to execute the warriors of the Tang Dynasty." An Lushan's words are very convincing: "Such a rebellious person has such an arrogant act in front of His Majesty, if His Majesty is not there, it is reasonable for them to do such an outrageous thing." ”
"The ministers seconded it!" An Lushan's words just fell, but they attracted a chorus.
At last night's celebration banquet, everyone really saw the arrogance, domineering, and arrogance of the Yang family, not only insulting the warriors who returned from the battle, but also even Li Jing, Su Dingfang, Cheng Zhijie and other heroes of the Tang Dynasty, and their rebellious behavior can be seen.
This is still in front of Li Longji, they all dare to act so arrogantly, behind Li Longji's back, what kind of things will they do? Anyone with a modicum of sanity will think about it.
For the arrogance of the Yang family, there is no one in the entire Tang Dynasty who knows better than Li Longji, because the four Yang sisters can beat him and prevent him from staying. He is the supreme of the Ninety-Five, the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, they dare to do this, why is it surprising that their family oppresses the good?
Everyone's eyes were focused on Li Longji, waiting for him to deal with it.
"Yang is so hateful?" Li Longji raised his eyebrows and asked loudly.
Everyone's hearts sank, it seems that Li Longji is still reluctant to Yang Guifei, and this effort has been done in vain today.
"Your Majesty, the minister has a good song." Li Changguo spoke out at the right time.
"Li Changguo, do you also want to participate in the Yang family?" Li Longji glared at Li Changguo, his voice was fierce, and his expression was extremely unkind.
