The content of this recital is not complicated, just say one thing, praise Wenyi's merits and then persuade him to ascend the throne and become emperor.

He looked through the rest of the memorabilia, and as expected, the content was much the same.

Central Officers, State Ministers, Assassins, Military Brigade Commander and above officers...... One does not pull all on the book.

If no one kills him in tandem, he won't believe this kind of thing.

Seeing this, his face was gloomy, and he said, "Tell Zhao Zhengzhi to come over and see me." ”

"Yes." The waiter felt his anger and didn't dare to delay, and ran all the way to find Zhao Zhengzhi.

Zhao Zhengzhi seemed to have expected it, and as soon as they met, he directly asked for the guilt: "The minister is guilty, please punish the king." ”

This crisp and neat action blocked Wen Yi's words, and he said after a while:

"So you know everything, that's on purpose? Do you feel that your wings are stiff and you want to rebel? ”

Zhao Zhengzhi knew that he was angry, so he didn't dare to contradict it, and said: "The minister will never dare to think about it, please ask the king Mingjian." ”

Wen Yi grabbed the fold and smashed it on him and said, "Then tell me what the hell is going on?" For such a big thing, why didn't I receive a message beforehand? ”

Zhao Zhengzhi lamented in his heart, Mr. Xue, you really hurt me. But he didn't dare to say this, but said sincerely:

"My lord, one of these folds belongs to the minister."

I'm a part of the persuasion myself, how can I give you a tip-off?

Wen Yi said angrily: "You are my eyes and ears, not my brain, I don't need you to think for me." ”

Facing the angry Wen Yi, Zhao Zhengzhi also had a little fear in his heart, and said, "The minister is guilty." ”

Wen Yi said: "Say, tell me what happened." ”

Zhao Zhengzhi hurriedly said: "At first, it was Bachelor Xue, Bachelor Mo and Chai Shumi who talked about this matter, and the minister was also very moved when he heard about it, so he joined in. ”

"But everyone can't figure out your mind, and they decided to contact more officials for advice for fear that you would refuse, so ......"

Wen Yi said coldly: "So you not only deceived me, but also made it convenient for them to connect with hundreds of officials, right?" ”

Zhao Zhengzhi lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

"Since you have such ideas, the position of the Guardsman is no longer suitable for you. The order was issued to remove Zhao Zhengzhi from his post as the commander of the Wei Wei Division, fined him for half a year, and thought about it behind closed doors at home. ”

Zhao Zhengzhi was shocked, he guessed that Wen Yi would be very angry, but he didn't think that he would directly remove him from all his official positions, and hurriedly said: "The king ......"

Wen Yi was too lazy to listen to him, and said, "Come on, fork him out." ”

Waiting for the guards to take him away, Wen Yi said again: "Wu Yinzhi, go to Xue Dayuan, Mo Jun, and Chai Ben's mansion to ask, what is the way of a monarch and a minister." ”

Wu Yinzhi said cautiously: "Yes." ”

……

When he returned to the harem, he was still angry, and Xie Daoyun, who was teasing his young daughter, said: "What's wrong with the king, who made you angry again?" ”

Wen Yi told her about the private connection of the ministers.

Xie Daoyun's expression also became solemn, and he said, "It is a capital crime for the minister to collude in private, and it must be dealt with heavily. ”

Wen Yi nodded and said, "I have dismissed Zhao Zhengzhi as an official, and tomorrow morning the court will deal with others." ”

Xie Daoyun said: "Actually, you are also responsible for happening like today, and you are too tolerant of your subordinates, so that they lose their awe." ”

Wen Yi sighed helplessly, the degree between the beginning and the end is too difficult to grasp.

As Xie Daoyun said, Xue Dayuan and others dared to connect in private because he was too tolerant and made them lose their awe.

Don't they know it's a big taboo? No, they know better than anyone else. The reason why he still does this is that he is sure that Wen Yi will not do anything to them.

Although this time they were not seeking personal gain for themselves, they did step on the boundaries between monarchs and ministers and break the rules.

If it is not punished severely, it will one day lead to bad results.

"It's really my fault in the first place...... Well, no wonder they say that kings are alone, and now I understand why. ”

"It's not that they want to be alone, but they have to be such a person to sit in this position."

Xie Daoyun smiled instead: "It's not too late for you to understand now, it's a blessing for the society and the people." ”

Then she asked, "What are you going to do with the matter of becoming emperor?" ”

Wen Yi asked rhetorically, "What do you think?" Is it time to be the emperor? ”

Xie Daoyun thought for a while and analyzed: "In terms of national strength, popular support, and your prestige, there is no problem at all to be the emperor. ”

"For the people of China, you can inspire the hearts of the military and the people even further......"

"Looking at foreign countries, the Central Plains was divided into several forces, and the three emperors of Jin, Yan, and Qin were side by side...... If you are emperor, no one can interfere. ”

"It is also justifiable for the Tang State to inherit the Great Han Dynasty and Taoism to call you the emperor, and having a righteous name will also help attract more talents to vote."

"In the future, we will send troops to the Central Plains to dominate the world, and we will have a sufficient reason to 'restore the Han soil'."

Although she did not directly say that she supported the emperor, her words revealed all her true thoughts.

Again, the ancients valued the most important name. Wen Yi said that not being the emperor had no effect on his strength, but the difference in name was too great.

The king is always the king, and the emperor is the lord of the world in everyone's minds.

To be the emperor is to declare my ambition to the people of the world, and to tell everyone that I have the ambition to rule the world.

The advantage is that there will be more talents who want to give it a go to vote, and the disadvantage is also obvious, which will arouse the vigilance of other countries, especially the Yan Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom.

But Xie Daoyun's words made him speechless: "Aren't you wary of us if you don't call the Emperor Yan Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom?" ”

That is impossible, and in the past four years, the Tang State has tried its best to get less than 200,000 people from the Central Plains.

……

The next morning, without waiting for the ministers to talk about persuasion, Wen Yi took the first step.

He was furious and rebuked his ministers for not following the way of kings and ministers, and questioned them for their private conspiracy to abolish the establishment.

This sentence is very serious, and the ministers have pleaded guilty.

Wen Yi punished on the spot, dismissed Xue Dayuan from his position as a scholar in the cabinet, and went home to think about it behind closed doors. Mo Jun was dismissed from the post of secretary of the ministry and the cabinet bachelor, and Chai Ben was removed from the post of privy envoy.

More than two dozen officials were dismissed or demoted.

The scope of involvement is wide, and the handling is heavy for the first time since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The ministers really felt what it means to be like the sea and majestic like the mountain. It also made them understand that there are some red lines that cannot be touched.

After that, Wen Yi appointed Gan Xian as a member of the Cabinet and the first assistant minister, He Fangjia was a bachelor in the cabinet and a privy envoy of power, Liu Meng was appointed as a deputy envoy to the Privy Council, and Chen Xiu was a secretary of the ministry......

……

After the retreat from the court, the ministers did not disperse, but gathered together to discuss a lot, and when they came, no one thought that it was just a kung fu court of the early dynasty and the sky changed.

Xue Dayuan, Mo Jun and Chai Ben stood together a little depressed, surrounded by officials from the Langhu system.

So sometimes a person's influence does not lie in his official position, but in the network of relationships he builds.

The Langhu system is the largest and strongest net in the Tang Kingdom, and Xue Dayuan and others are the core of this net.

They naturally felt uncomfortable when they were dismissed.

Mo Jun smiled bitterly: "I didn't expect the king's disposal to be so heavy. ”

Chai Ben said: "Yes, it's the first time I've seen him so angry, and I won't hide it from you, I was so scared that my legs were weak." ”

Xue Dayuan shook his head and said with self-reproach: "We have done too much, if it weren't for the sake of past achievements, the punishment would be heavier." ”

Mo Jun said: "What about persuasion?" ”

Xue Dayuan said meaningfully: "Is the king opposed?" ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
