The ministers were taken aback, who didn't know that Yang Guozhong was loyal to the government and the opposition, and dared to oppose Yang Guozhong, he simply didn't know whether he was alive or dead.

Everyone shook their heads secretly, some people pinched a cold sweat for him, and some people looked like they were watching a play.

In the face of Cui Lian's accusations, Yang Guozhong was unmoved. He smiled slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Master Cui, this meal can be eaten indiscriminately, but words cannot be said indiscriminately." I, Yang Guozhong, am loyal to His Majesty, and I have done my best for the sake of the Tang Dynasty, how dare I intercept the twists and turns and deceive the Holy Hearing? ”

Cui Jian sneered, he squinted at Yang Guozhong, "Since Lord Yang is loyal to the country, why don't you send this piece to the saint, but order someone to send it to the incinerator for burning?" ”

"Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, and it is already very hard to deal with military affairs every day, so why bother Your Majesty with these small things? Guozhong, as a minister of Zaifu, naturally wants to share the burden for His Majesty, I wanted to present this fold to His Majesty, but it was regarded as a scrap seal by the officials who sorted out the folds, and this matter has nothing to do with me! I hope Your Majesty will take a closer look. Yang Guozhong knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Li Longji again and again, and cried quite aggrieved.

Cui Lian looked at him coldly, and couldn't help but feel a little disdainful when he saw him put the blame on others.

But thinking of what Yang Guozhong had done, he was very angry, and he raised his eyebrows and said: "Lord Yang, do you think the Yellow River burst is a trivial matter?" This is related to the lives of hundreds of people! ”

"Okay, I believe what Yang Qing said, he is dedicated to the Tang Dynasty, and he will never hide the disaster and not report it." Li Longji waved his hand, interrupting the two arguing, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and said in a deep voice: "What I want to know is about the 'Broken Dragon Stone'. It is said that someone dug up a stone tablet at the place where the Yellow River burst its embankment, and a line of verses was written on it: 'The emperor is not the emperor, and the king is not the king.' The gods are angry and worship God. 'Yes and no? ”

Cui Lian's face became solemn, and he nodded and said, "Back to Your Majesty, not only that, but this verse has spread in Luoyang City and Chang'an City. They said....... ”

"Say what?" Li Longji skimmed the tea leaves from the tea with the tea lid and asked lightly.

Cui Jian hesitated for a moment and said, "Rumors say that this is a disaster from heaven, and the troubled times are coming ....... ”

"Presumptuous!" Li Longji was furious, he angrily smashed the teacup to pieces, and said angrily: "My Tang Dynasty is now in its prime, how can there be a disaster?" This must be someone trying to rebel, Cui Lian, I order you to find out this matter quickly, anyone who tries to rebel will be killed! ”

"Wechen takes orders." Cui Jian knelt on the ground, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister still has one more matter. ”

"Say!" Li Longji leaned on the dragon chair, looking very angry.

"Regarding Your Majesty's Eastern Tour, the minister thinks it is inappropriate, can Your Majesty cancel this Zen seal?" Cui Jian said very respectfully.

"Why?" Li Longji touched his beard and asked in a deep voice.

Cui Lian took out a copy of the fold from his arms, held it above his head, and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is the 800 miles of urgent fold that the minister just received a few days ago, please take a look at it." ”

The ministers secretly looked at Cui Lian, and Yang Guozhong was even more surprised.

Gao Lishi hurriedly walked over, folded the piece, and respectfully presented it to Li Longji.

Li Longji unfolded the recital, he looked at it seriously, and his face was instantly pulled down.

Suddenly slammed the music on the dragon table in front of him, Li Longji muttered: "What is the opinion of the ministers on the matter of sealing Zen?" ”

"Your Majesty, something is wrong, the minister is worried that someone wants to be unfavorable to His Majesty, and the minister suggests postponing the itinerary and changing the time of the consecration." Cui Jian said respectfully.

Yang Guozhong's eyes rolled a few times, and he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." Feng Zen is a major event to worship the heavens, not only to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth, but also to announce the prosperity of the world and the national strength of the Tang Dynasty. What's more, this time I invited the Khan of Usumish to go to Mount Tai, and now Usumish is already on the way to Chang'an, and he will arrive in Chang'an in two days. ”

"Lord Yang, Your Majesty's safety is the top priority, what if someone plots to assassinate Your Majesty?" Cui Lian is colorful.

Yang Guozhong glanced at Cui Jian a few times strangely, and a light smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Master Cui, as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, you are in charge of the matter of sealing Zen, since you have noticed that someone is conspiring against you, you should sweep away the conspiracy, so that Your Majesty can rest assured that you can go to Mount Tai to seal Zen." ”

"Lord Yang, I am only a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and I have no right to mobilize soldiers and horses, but my lord, as the prime minister of a dynasty and the position of generalissimo of soldiers and horses, it should be your responsibility to clear the conspiracy, right?" Cui Jian said with a cold expression.

Yang Guozhong snorted, and he said respectfully: "Although I am the prime minister, I am responsible for the safety of His Majesty, how can I go to find clues to the conspiracy?" ”

Li Longji listened to it for a long time, his brows furrowed, and he shouted impatiently: "Shut up!" I am very old, and it is imperative for me to seal Zen. Cui Lian, I allow you to act cheaply, and order you to investigate this matter thoroughly and remove all obstacles on the way. ”

Cui Lian's eyes lit up, he knelt down busily, and bowed loudly: "Minister, command!" ”

The ministers looked sideways, and Yang Guozhong looked at Cui Lian's eyes, full of resentful jealousy.

Acting cheaply, which means that Cui Lian can mobilize all the resources that can be mobilized, and his power is so great that he can kill and take away all lives.

Yang Guozhong has been an official in the court for many years, and no matter how he slips his beard, Li Longji has never given him the right to act cheaply.

Cui Jian knew that the responsibility was heavy, and after receiving the order, he immediately withdrew from the court.

After retiring from the dynasty, Li Longji paced in the imperial garden without saying a word.

"Official, you are worried, do you have something on your mind?" Gao Lishi, who was dressed in a brocade robe, followed behind Li Longji and asked.

Li Longji's face was solemn, and he handed the fold he had been holding in his hand to Gao Lishi, and said, "See for yourself." ”

Colliers respectfully accepted the fold, and he carefully read the contents of the fold, and his brow furrowed.

"Lux Lux, what do you think about this?" Li Longji asked in a deep voice.

Gao Lishi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, what you said on the fold should be true. King Jianning was an upright person and cared about the imperial court, since he used 800 miles to expedite the performance to Chang'an, the matter was by no means simple. ”

What Qi'er said coincides with Cui Lian, but it is very different from what Liu Tong played. Liu Tong's recital only said that Liang Xiu tried to rebel in vain, and after he found out the situation, he had committed suicide in fear of crime. Who do you think I should trust? Li Longji asked as he paced.

The old slave felt that King Jianning's words were more credible. The minister suspected that the 'anti-scale Xuanwu' mentioned by King Jianning might be implicated in the Yellow River stele, which was clearly unfavorable to His Majesty. Colliers mused.
