Daming Palace, in Li Longji's imperial study, Li Linfu is persuading Li Longji for an impeachment recital of the imperial history platform, which is the imperial history of the Cheng Wang Heng, impeachment of the household servant Yang Shenjin secretly hid the demon Shi Jingzhong, in another house to interpret the book, there is a housekeeper and a groom can testify.

The collusion between the minister and the demon is the most taboo thing for Li Longji, and he has preliminarily decided to appoint Yang Shenjin as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but this incident suddenly happened, which made Li Longji annoyed and confused.

"Is Sangkook so sure about this? Xiang Guozhen thinks that Yang Shenjin will collude with the demon? ”

Li Longji's eyes were firmly fixed on Li Linfu, and no glance or small movement of Li Linfu could escape his eyes.

Li Linfu bowed unhurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, Yang Shenjin is the emperor of the old dynasty, does he have the heart to practice the arts, the minister does not dare to say anything, but the minister knows that Wang Zhongcheng is a person, he is cautious as an official, never vainly exercise the power of imperial history, everything he has done is well-founded, since he impeached Yang Shenjin for hiding demons, there must be evidence, if Your Majesty still has doubts, then you can send someone to search his house, whether there is a book of hidden demons, you will know it at a check. ”

Li Longji walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, he knew that Wang Heng would not chase after the wind and shadows, Yang Shenjin must have a handle in his hands, but he was a little hesitant to send someone to search Yang Shenjin's mansion, he knew very well that as long as he searched, there would definitely be problems, and the matter would be irreparable, Li Longji sighed and said: "Xiangguo, let me think about this matter again, and I will give you an answer later." ”

"The minister doesn't dare, please think twice, and the minister will retire."

Li Linfu slowly retreated, and the imperial study was quiet again, Li Longji was silent in thought, of course he knew that Wang Heng's impeachment of Yang Shenjin was Li Linfu's instigation, and this was Li Linfu's eradication of those who dared to betray him.

For Li Longji, Yang Shenjin is not worried, what he cares about is Li Linfu, Li Linfu is a good dog of his own, he has made great contributions to eradicating the people around the prince over the years, and it may be useful in the future, if he is allowed to bring down Yang Shenjin, this is equivalent to rewarding him with a bone.

However, Yang Shenjin is a good chess piece, so it is a pity to kill him like this, and Li Longji is in a dilemma for a while.

He suddenly glanced up at Gao Lishi, and asked, "General, do you say that Yang Shenjin is guaranteed or not?" ”

Gao Lishi said respectfully: "Your Majesty, the country has a law, if Yang Shenjin really has a demon book, he should be severely punished, and he can't turn a blind eye because he has talent." ”

Gao Lishi's statement undoubtedly added an important weight to Li Longji's wavering scale, he nodded, and was just about to pick up the pen to approve Wang Heng's recital, at this moment, a eunuch walked in and reported: "In the imperial history, Cheng Yang Zhao has an urgent matter to see Your Majesty." ”

Li Longji suddenly had a turn of thought, and the pen was put down again.

．．．．．．．

When he found out from the impeachment record of the imperial history that Wang Heng impeached Yang Shenjin, Li Linfu had been called into the palace by the emperor to deal with it, Yang Zhao was shocked, and the countermeasure he discussed with An Lushan was to support Yang Shenjin to fight Li Linfu, if Yang Shenjin fell, then who would dare to betray Li Linfu?

Yang Zhao couldn't discuss with An Lushan anymore, so he hurried to Li Longji's imperial study.

"Minister Yang Zhao see Your Majesty!"

Yang Zhao knelt down in front of the imperial case, bowed to worship, this is a characteristic of Yang Zhao, other ministers are bowing when they see the emperor, but he is not, every time he sees Li Longji, he will kneel respectfully, bow, in his words, he is from a humble background but has a high position, and can only express his loyalty and gratitude to the emperor with a big gift.

For this brother-in-law, in general, Li Longji is still quite satisfied, although his officialdom experience is slightly insufficient, that is because he has been an official for too short, but Yang Zhao is very smart, studious and progressive, and he is exquisite, empathetic, and in time, he will become his right-hand man.

Li Longji smiled slightly and said, "Yang Zhongcheng, what is the matter with your urgent request to see me?" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is here to protect Yang Shilang!"

Yang Zhao kowtowed heavily, and said: "The minister just learned that someone impeached Yang Shilang for hiding the demon book, and the minister thought that this kind of impeachment was extremely inappropriate. ”

"What's wrong?" Li Longji still asked quietly.

"Your Majesty, the demon must be a demon who harms the country and the people, if it is an ordinary monk, then it can't be a demon, who doesn't have an auspicious obituary, it's normal to have a monk at home."

Li Longji didn't understand what he meant, so he smiled and said, "I didn't say that ordinary monks are demons!" If it was just an ordinary monk, I would naturally not pursue it. ”

"But Your Majesty, as long as you enter the prison of Dali Temple, even ordinary monks will become demons, and Wang Zhongcheng's methods are well understood."

Yang Zhao burst into tears, kowtowed his head heavily and said: "Let's talk about the book of prophecies, a small book, it is too easy to destroy, but it is just as easy to obtain, if the demon confesses, then even if there is no book, there will be a book, does Your Majesty understand?" ”

Li Longji understood what Yang Zhao meant, he meant to be beaten into a trick, and then framed him, Li Longji also knew in his heart that as long as he agreed to Wang Heng's impeachment, then Yang Shenjin must be this result, this is the power struggle in the officialdom, the crime is just an excuse to kill people, and he Li Longji doesn't need the truth, what he wants is the balance of power.

He looked at Yang Zhao's distressed appearance, and couldn't help sneering slightly in his heart, his brother-in-law had really grown up, and he actually dared to challenge Li Linfu.

Li Longji's face suddenly turned blank, and he scolded him angrily: "Don't you know Wang Zhongcheng's character? He is cautious as an official, and has always been fair and strict, is he the kind of person you said was framed? You have only been an official for a long time, you are jealous of your ability, and you are unruly for your officials, you have disappointed me too much, I will never allow you to be presumptuous today, come to someone! ”

"In!"

Several guards with big shoulders and round waists appeared next to him, and Li Longji pointed at Yang Zhao and said: "Drag this person down for me, punish him with thirty sticks in front of Danfeng Gate, remove him from all his positions, demote him to a county order of ten thousand years, and make his crimes public!" ”

Yang Zhao's eyes widened, and he shouted again and again, "Your Majesty, the minister is not guilty!" Your Majesty, the minister has been wronged! ”

Yang Zhao was dragged down by the guards, Li Longji snorted lightly, threw Wang Heng's impeachment recital on the table and said, "I'm tired, I'm going back to the palace to rest." ”

He stood up, flicked the sleeves of his robe, and walked away.

．．．．．．

Under the Danfeng Gate, Yang Zhao was beaten down by more than a dozen guards, thirty sticks were beaten very slowly, and every five strokes were beaten, and a lieutenant envoy read out Yang Zhao's guilt, Yang Zhao shouted loudly: "I don't accept it!" I ask for the minister's life, what is the crime? ”

At this time, it was the time of the scattered dynasty, Danfengmen was crowded with onlookers, and everyone talked about it, and they didn't know why Yang Zhao was beaten.

This Yang Zhao usually has a prodigal personality and is despised by the ministers, but after this fight, many people have a little sympathy for him, and it is a fact that Wang Heng is good at framing ministers.

At this time, Yang Shenyu, a young eunuch of the Shaofu who was passing by Danfengmen, was shocked when he heard the news, and hurriedly drove the carriage towards the mansion of his brother Yang Shenjin.
