Cui Jing turned his head to look and nodded secretly in his heart.

This person's surname is Zhao, a single name, born in a commoner, because of his outstanding performance in the imperial examination and attracted the attention of Chai Shao, after he took refuge in Chai Shao, since then he has been on the rise, and is now the doctor of the left of the province of Menxia, as far as the institution is concerned, the mission of the Tang Dynasty is shared by the province of Menxia and the province of Zhongshu. The province under the door is set up to give four people and a number of auxiliary members, and there are four left counselors and four left scattered cavalry attendants. Zhongshu Province has four right counselors and four right scattered riders, all of whom are characters who find fault with the emperor.

Liquidation began.

"Zhao Qingjia, please speak up if you have something." Li Er said breathlessly.

Zhao Yan saluted Li Er, and said in a surprising voice: "The minister wants to impeach the emperor for improper employment." ”

Li Er's face changed, but he quickly calmed down, and said with a smile on his face: "Who is it wrong for me to use?" ”

has been admonished a lot by Wei Heizi, Li Er is a little immune to these admonitions, people are not sages, who can be right? If you want to be a famous gentleman, if you want to eat salted fish, you have to endure your thirst, although she was a little unhappy in her heart, but on the surface, Li Er still had an open and teachable smile.

Zhao Yan said seriously: "The emperor is biased towards Wang Zhe, the secretary of the ministry, Wang Shangshu is thin and high, powerful and slight, in an important position, nepotism, this is the moth of my Tang Dynasty." ”

Wang Zhe's head exploded all of a sudden, he thought that the Shi clan would give him a good look, but he didn't expect that this retribution would come so quickly, and what surprised him the most was that the person who fired the cannon at him was not the Shi clan headed by the Qinghe Cui clan, but the provincial doctor Zhao who was close to the emperor and the country.

Is this a sign that they have teamed up to do their own?

Not only Wang Zhe was surprised, but Li Er and many officials in the court who did not know the truth were shocked when they heard the uproar, which clearly admonished Li Er. Darkness pointed the finger at Wang Zhe, the secretary of the ministry.

Just when many people didn't know why, another voice in the court sounded: "Your Majesty, the minister impeached the king of Weizhou Assassin Wang Zhongji, and did not seek his own government in his position, not only corrupted the law, but also wantonly squandered extravagance, so that the treasury was lost, and the local people dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and this matter has aroused the anger of the local people." This matter should have been discussed within the Imperial Historical Observatory, but the matter was serious, and the minister specially impeached the emperor. ”

The person impeached this time was Zhang Shiqiu, the imperial historian of the Imperial History Tower, who was born in the scholar family. Erudite, clever and attentive. Although the Zhang clan can only be regarded as medium among the scholars. But his fame is very great among the scholars, and this "downfall of the king" operation was also named by Cui Shang to be responsible for the main attack.

The officials are just picking fault with the emperor, but supervising the gains and losses of the words and deeds of officials in the world is what Yushitai does, and Zhao Yan cannot exceed his authority in this matter.

Those present finally understood. Zhao Yan fired at Wang Zhe, the secretary of the ministry, which was just a prologue, in order to bring out Wang Zhongji, who served as the assassin of the Taiyuan Wang clan in Weizhou, even if Wang Zhe defended the Wang family's children. That is also a cover-up, and when he says anything, he will be pale and powerless, and Wang Zhe, the official secretary who is standing in the forefront, finally understands the revenge of the scholar clan against him: he cut a big piece of fat meat in his hand Weizhou, and a talent who the Taiyuan Wang clan has worked hard to cultivate also fell in this blow.

Cultivating a child into a talent who can take charge of himself, how much money does it cost, this Wang Zhongji, is the key training object of the Taiyuan Wang family, Wang Zhe spent invincible efforts on him, but now the two forces want to bring him down, where is it easy to give up, although there is not much hope, but still stand up for the children of the clan to fight for reason.

"Absurd, the ancient virtuous do not avoid relatives, Weizhou Assassin Wang Zhongji, loyal, diligent and love the people, served as Weizhou Assassin History, Weizhou all walks of life, thriving, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, how to complain, more than 300 Tang Prefecture Mansion, on political achievements, Weizhou Assassin History ranks in the forefront, although Wang Ji is Wang's in-law, but the fact is here, Wang is on the matter, as far as his character is concerned, it is definitely a frame, please the emperor to see." Wang Zhe said with a straight face.

No wonder that Zhao Yan suddenly changed his position, now he understands in his heart that the Shi clan and Chai Fu have reached an agreement, and the sudden conclusion of this agreement is at the expense of the interests of the Taiyuan Wang clan, how can he be willing? This is to force the Taiyuan Wang clan to a dead end.

Li Er's face didn't change much, for him, everything was in his expectations, for himself, as soon as he had the opportunity, he would naturally clean up the traitor immediately, and this revenge, not only to deal with the Weizhou Assassin Shi, but also to pull Wang Zhe, the secretary of the ministry, so many people launched together, needless to say, with the caution of the Shi clan, he naturally made a perfect strategy, but if Wang Zhe also fell, then, which Shi clan would dare to move closer to him in the future

"Zhang Aiqing, what you impeached is the history of the assassination of a state, and there is no basis for your words, do you have evidence in your hands?"

"Yes" Zhang Shiqiu took out a box and put it in front of him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, someone knows, is afraid that the Wang family is powerful, and is also afraid that someone will retaliate, so he secretly put it in front of the minister's mansion, was picked up by his subordinates, and handed it over to me. ”

"Come, bring the evidence." Li Er gave an order, and the eunuch took the evidence and presented it to Li Er, who was high in the sky.

Cui Shang Chai Shao, who was standing in the forefront, glanced at each other, both of them showed a subtle smile, and then turned their eyes away like a tacit understanding, at this moment, let Wang Zhe, who had been staring at Cui Shang, look in his eyes, he was so angry that his face was published, and he trembled, but he had nothing to say.

One wrong step, all the plates are lost, who calls themselves not firm in their position? Since the emperor compromised, it was naturally equivalent to indirectly selling himself.

Hateful.

"Show this evidence to Wang Shangshu." After Li Er finished flipping, his face was expressionless, and he asked the eunuch to hand it over to Wang Zhe directly for inspection, which could be regarded as selling him face.

Soon, the box containing the evidence was handed over to Wang Zhe, the secretary of the ministry, and when he opened it, the evidence was still very comprehensive, there were whistleblowing letters, there were also monitoring records of the Imperial Historical Observatory, in addition to the testimony of witnesses and other things, seeing the crime, Wang Zhe was speechless, it was nothing more than to find a position for the children of the clan, and secretly set up some fields and shops, which is not a big deal in the official at all, by the way, as for the waste, once a meal actually cost twenty gold in government silver.

It's just twenty gold, as for it? Those imperial relatives in Chang'an. The cost of a day, not to mention twenty gold, this is obviously nitpicking, when the officials all know that they want silver, just reach out to the place to ask for it, don't move the money and silver in the house, so that it is easy to check out, and the money and silver in the house, as long as it is not taken to the house. It doesn't matter how you spend it, but this incident has become one of the reasons for impeachment.

However, the unspoken rules are the unspoken rules, and if they don't break each other, then it's okay. Once exposed to the public, then it is untenable. The world belongs to the emperor. You just govern for him, you can't act recklessly, right is right, wrong is wrong, no need to check, Wang Zhe also knows the way. These evidences are true and not false, because there are two people who he arranged for Wang Zhongji to enter by the order of the patriarch.

Wang Zhe looked far away. The eunuch took it away again and handed it over to the civil and military officials on the side to watch.

Li Er looked at Wang Zhe with a complicated face, and suddenly asked: "Wang Shangshu, what do you have to say, I remember, the history of Weizhou assassination was recommended by you, right?" ”

What does that mean?

Officialdom matters, can be big or small, it all depends on the meaning of the person in power, sometimes the person in power in a word, big things into small, small things into nothing, and when necessary, a small thing, after fermentation and expansion, will also become a big thing, listening to Li Er's words, Wang Zhe was startled, this Li Er is difficult, and he wants to open his mouth to himself, in order to compromise, show favor to the Shi clan, ready to root the Taiyuan Wang family?

Wang Zhe was so frightened that he knelt on the ground all of a sudden, and said with a panicked face: "Your Majesty, that Wang Zhongji is indeed recommended by the minister, although there are small mistakes, but the flaws are not covered up, since the king has been appointed in the history, digging canals to run schools, repairing roads and bridges, Weizhou is politically harmonious, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no merit, there is also hard work, please ask the emperor to give him a chance to atone for his sins." ”

Before Li Er could speak, the straight-bellied Wei Heizi suddenly stood up and admonished loudly: "Your Majesty, a mistake is a mistake, meritorious service will be rewarded, and a mistake must be punished. ”

After speaking, Wei Heizi admonished with a straight face: "Your Majesty, the history of Weizhou's assassination must not be spared, even if it is recommended by Wang Shangshu, he must also be held responsible." ”

Wei Zheng's most brilliant thing is that he is not strong and powerful, and dares to give direct advice, when he encounters such a thing, he naturally stands up and does not mind being a "knife" in the hands of others, in fact, he does not belong to the camp of any party, and he does not know that they are infighting and plotting, just relying on a "righteousness" to admonish.

Wang Zhe's face was pale, and he scolded Wei Heizi half to death in his heart, and Cui Shang, Cui Jing, Chai Shao and others, they didn't expect Wei Heizi to help themselves like this, they were overjoyed, and they couldn't wait to kiss that big black face.

"Exactly, with merit and hard work, do whatever you want, isn't the world chaotic?

"The emperor has a high level of merit, he can still be self-disciplined, and he still wants to have privileges in the history of Weizhou's assassination?"

"Heavy punishment, heavy punishment."

Sure enough, as soon as Wei Heizi fired the cannon, those officials were afraid that no one would face up to their existence, so they all stood up one by one and accused loudly, and for a while the crowd was surging, and those officials who were Prince Zhe wanted to intercede for him, but when they saw this scene, they all retreated and stopped speaking, and Wang Zhe's face became even paler.

"Stop" Li Er was dissatisfied, and shouted: "This is the court, not the vegetable market." ”

Only then did the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs stop.

Li Er swept over the ministers with a majestic gaze, looked at Wang Zhe, the secretary of the Ministry of Ministers with a depressed face, and then spoke: "Weizhou Assassin Wang Zhongji, handed over to Dali Temple, by Dali Temple Qing and the Criminal Department Shangshu and Shilang will be tried by the three divisions of the Imperial History Zhongcheng Meeting, and the Ministry of Shangshu Wang Zhe is not recommended properly, and it is not a big mistake to read Wang Zhongji, and since Wang Zhe took office, he has been conscientious and conscientious, and he has been deducted for three months as a warning.
