Chapter 567: Hatred is bitter

Cui Jian and the others looked at each other, Yang Guozhong wanted to put Li Qi and Li Canghai in the heart of death, it was already known to everyone, but Li Longji was still so partial to him, which really shocked the officials. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Your Majesty! Yang Guozhong, as the chief assistant of the cabinet, framed the humerus ministers for rebellion and rebellion without a clear investigation, if he was not severely punished, how could he explain to the subjects of the world? Please punish His Majesty for the crime of false accusations!! Cui said righteously.

"Your Majesty, please punish him for the crime of being framed!" The rest of the loyal ministers and good generals knelt down at the same time and said.

Yang Guozhong's face instantly became ugly.

"Your Majesty, please punish him for the crime of being framed!" Seeing that Li Longji didn't seem to be moved, Cui Jian and the others knelt on the ground one after another and shouted loudly again.

Li Longji's face was also extremely ugly, he looked at Cui Jian and the others, and then at Yang Guozhong, his brows furrowed tightly.

Yang Guozhong and him are not only the prime minister of the cabinet, but also an indispensable right-hand man, he can best understand his own mind, not to mention, it is because of him that he was able to marry Yang Yuhuan as a concubine, and the most important thing is that he is Yang Yuhuan's brother.

If Yang Guozhong is disposed of, Yang Yuhuan will inevitably be depressed and unhappy, which he does not want to see.

However, he also knows the temperament, integrity, and loyalty of Cui Lian and others, but he is also persistent and headache-inducing.

If they don't give them an explanation, they won't give up, and maybe even go to the cost of giving up bloody admonitions.

This blood admonition is to write a letter of advice in blood, carry a coffin to the court, and make a clear will with death.

Although Li Longji doesn't like Cui Lian and others very much, after all, they are still indispensable humerus ministers of the Tang Dynasty, and the Tang Dynasty still relies on them to operate, so naturally they can't let them die.

Moreover, he also saw that Yang Guozhong was too much this time. almost said that the heroes of the Tang Dynasty were rebels and thieves, and he himself knew that if he didn't give an explanation to the ministers, it would indeed be a little unreasonable.

Rubbing his temples that were a little painful, Li Longji coughed a few times and said, "Guozhong, it's your fault in this matter." Since you have no evidence, how can you make such indiscriminate accusations? Fortunately, this pond came in time, otherwise if I had issued a sea fishing document to Li Canghai, wouldn't it have made the subjects of the world think that I am the one who will take revenge? I have always ruled the country with benevolence and righteousness, and you almost brought me to the land of injustice and injustice! ”

When Yang Guozhong heard this, he was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, and knelt on the ground, his face was pale, and he kept kowtowing: "It's Weichen's negligence, Weichen's crime deserves death!" I beg your majesty to repudiate you! ”

"Okay, for the sake of your loyalty, I will not punish you, temporarily remove you from the position of chief assistant of the cabinet, demote you to the young husband of the imperial history platform, and order a fine of 50,000 taels of silver to replenish military funds!" Li Longji said.

"The Lord's Order is grateful." Yang Guozhong wiped the sweat from his forehead and exhaled a long breath.

Cui Jian and others looked at each other, framed the three rank members of the dynasty and the descendants of the royal family, and almost put Li Qi in prison, such a serious crime, he was only a third-rank official and fined 50,000 silver. If this had been someone else, I'm afraid it would have been dragged out and cut down a long time ago.

Cui Jian and the others felt that this punishment was too light, and wanted to make a statement to Li Longji, but they were stopped by Li Qi shaking his head slightly.

Cui Lian and others are indeed loyal to the Tang Dynasty, but loyal ministers often have a problem, that is, they are stubborn and old-fashioned, and they are ruthless.

As the so-called "loyal words against the ear", the words of loyal ministers are often thorny, this kind of contrary words have a great effect on the country, but for the emperor, it is the least willing to hear.

Li Longji has already punished Yang Guozhong because of the situation, which can be regarded as giving face to Cui Lian and others.

If Cui Lian and others still blindly insist on letting Li Longji punish Yang Guozhong more severely, Li Longji, as the emperor, was coerced by the ministers, where will he put his face?

Li Qi deeply knows the emperor's thoughts, the emperor is the lord of the world, no one can threaten him, and no one can be above him, otherwise there is only one consequence, that is, death.

Cui Lian and the others stopped talking, but Yang Guozhong hated Cui Lian and the others.

He lowered his head and glanced at the supporters around him, and the man immediately understood, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to play!" ”

Li Longji frowned slightly, enough things had happened today, he was already very unhappy in his heart, and said impatiently: "Zhu Aiqing, what do you have to do?" ”

The official said with a righteous face: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach one person!" ”

"Who are you going to impeach?"

"The person who wants to be impeached by the minister is Zhengqing of Dali Temple, and the generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, Li Canghai!" The official shouted.

"Li Canghai? Li Canghai again? This Li Canghai has only been promoted to the head of Dali Temple for two months, but he has made a lot of enemies! Li Longji stroked his silver-white beard and whispered a few words to himself meaningfully.

He took a sip of tea from the teacup, and said lightly: "Say, what are you impeaching him again?" ”

"The minister impeached Li Canghai for abusing his power, disrespecting the holy order, and being suspected of trespassing!" The official said righteously.

Li Longji was a little surprised, he suddenly looked at the official with great interest, and asked, "Oh? Let's talk about it, how did Li Canghai trespass? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Li Canghai, as the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, is in charge of the world's prisons, but he does not have the right to dispatch troops. And he actually used the Evil Army and the warship without the consent of the Ministry of War, this is the crime of trespassing! The official said solemnly.

"Lord Zhu, you seem to have forgotten one thing, Lord Li is not only the Dali Siqing, but also the Generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, why can't you call the Fox Army?" Cui Lian frowned and asked in a deep voice.

The official had a righteous face and said solemnly: "The Holy Lord named Li Canghai as the generalissimo of the Eastern Expedition, so that he could go to Silla to face Dongying, that is to say, his right should be in Silla, not the Tang Dynasty!" What's more, the Fox Army is the elite guarding the Datang Sea area, how can it be easily called? ”

Yang Guozhong squinted his eyes in satisfaction, and he hooked his fingers at the remaining party henchmen, asking them to echo the official surnamed Zhu.

Those party henchmen just wanted to go out and echo the official surnamed Zhu, but suddenly saw a strange sneer raised at the corner of Li Qi's mouth, several of them were the most observant old foxes, seeing the smile on the corner of Li Qi's mouth, a bad feeling suddenly rose in their hearts, several people glanced at each other, and immediately retreated.

Sure enough, I saw Li Qi smile faintly and said, "It seems that Master Zhu has really put a lot of effort into dealing with Li Canghai!" However, this king has a persuasion, don't be confused by others, otherwise you will become someone else's substitute for the dead, but you don't know how you died, then it will really become a joke! ”

The official surnamed Zhu raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Qi and said, "Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?" The lower officials are just talking about things, although the lower officials have a low rank, but in their eyes, they can't tolerate sand, but Li Canghai is suspected of trespassing, is the lower official wrong?
