Jiangnan is gradually chaotic, and the Chang'an court is also in chaos.

The overwhelming impeachment recital came very suddenly, as if the courtiers had discussed it, and all of them flocked to Shangshu Province overnight.

When Xu Jingzong, the right minister, saw this mountain of songs, and basically participated in the impeachment of Li Qinzai, Xu Jingzong was so anxious that his old face was sweating.

Xu Jingzong is old, and he already plans to go to Shu Zhishi next year to say goodbye to his old age, and this year is the last shift for him as the prime minister.

In the days when he was waiting for a safe return without wind and waves, who would have thought that such a big event would suddenly appear.

Looking at the impeachment recital that was as towering as a mountain bag, Xu Jingzong was so angry that he wanted to scold his mother.

Why don't you mess with the old man, can't you stop it? The old man is waiting to return to his hometown.

I don't know whose ancestral grave Li Qinzai dug up in Jiangnan, which caused such a lot of public indignation, and the courtiers who participated in his impeachment were basically Beijing officials, that is to say, Li Qinzai burned all the fire to Chang'an, which shows how much Jiangnan burned.

What's even worse is that these impeachment ministers also include many heads of family valves.

The head of the family rarely hands over to the Son of Heaven, their existence is almost transcendent, and most of the family owners only hang a relatively awesome false title, such as a certain doctor, a certain general, usually will not participate in the government politics, unless it is related to the interests of the family door valve.

This time, the heads of the family seemed to have woken up from the coffin, and they actually criticized Li Qinzai in unison for the same thing and the same person, which is very unusual in itself.

can provoke so many family lords to crusade with one voice, so Li Qinzai not only dug up other people's ancestral graves in Jiangnan, but also set up mass graves?

There are too many songs, and the weight is too heavy, as the right minister of the court, Xu Jingzong felt that he couldn't bear it, so he had to send it to Li Zhi's desk.

The old man is the one who wants to tell the old, the most important thing in this period is to be safe, how can I be safe? Don't cause trouble, you're afraid of things, you can kick others in trouble, just lie down and pretend to be dead.

As a result, Li Zhi's desk piled up countless notes overnight, and when he got up early in the morning, Li Zhi's little face was green.

The content of the recital is all about crusading against Li Qinzai and committing lawlessness, but Li Zhi knows the inside story.

He knew that the courtiers were ostensibly participating in the impeachment of Li Qinzai's atrocities, but in fact it was a large-scale counterattack by the family and the landlords.

It doesn't matter if you kill someone, but Li Qinzai has moved their interests, and this must be killed.

Li Zhi frowned, sat motionless at the table.

He had been in this position for so long that his legs were numb when he sat on his knees.

There was a moderate amount of massage and kneading on the back of his neck, and Li Zhi turned his head, but saw that Empress Wu was massaging his shoulder and neck.

The husband and wife looked at each other and did not say a word, but everything was already clear.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to worry about this, Jing Chu discussed with Your Majesty before he left Beijing, isn't this situation also expected by us?" Empress Wu persuaded softly.

Li Zhi sighed and said with a wry smile: "I just didn't expect that the family's counterattack would be so fierce, it was really beyond my estimate. ”

Empress Wu chuckled and said: "Jing Chu moved the land of the Wang clan, and the gate valve of the family in the world smelled a different smell of the court, how could he not fight back desperately?" After all, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and what the family is afraid of is that it will be their turn next. ”

Li Zhi pondered for a long time and said slowly: "What does the queen think?" ”

Empress Wu's eyelids drooped, and she said in a low voice: "The harem cannot be pre-governmental, and the concubines only take care of the affairs of the palace for Your Majesty." ”

The corners of Li Zhi's mouth twitched: "There are only you and I in the palace, who are you pretending to show to?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Empress Wu's eyebrows bent slightly, and she pretended to hesitate for a moment before she said carefully: "The concubines don't know much, but they also know that if you can't stand the pressure of the family, recall Jingchu at this time, and the concubines are afraid that from now on, there will be no one to rectify the annexation of land in the world." ”

"Jing Chu worked hard to support the chaos in Jiangnan, and he needed His Majesty's backup, but he didn't have to worry about helping him, His Majesty recalled Jing Chu at this time, wouldn't he stab him in the back?"

Li Zhi showed a look of struggle.

To be honest, in the face of this situation of attacking in groups, Rao is the Son of Heaven, and Li Zhi is a little unbearable.

The weight of the people who participated in the impeachment of Li Qinzai was too heavy, the Guanlongmen valve, the Shandong Hao clan, the Jiangnan Wang clan, and countless courtiers and scholars from the family gate, these people were unified and sparsely impeached at the same time, and I don't know how huge the pressure on Li Zhi was.

There were several thoughts flashing in his mind today, and Li Zhi wanted to give up and recall Li Qinzai back to Chang'an, never mentioning it again.

What about land annexation? Anyway, the Tang Dynasty will not be in chaos in his lifetime, and the mission of a generation of emperors and a generation of emperors is to throw this troublesome problem to the crown prince Li Xian, so that he can solve it after he ascends the throne in the future, isn't it also reasonable?

But after thinking about it, Li Xian is also his own biological son, and Lao Tzu really doesn't have the face to cheat his son like this.

Throwing the problem to the next generation will only get worse and more out of control.

The world is so entangled, I want to give up, I am unwilling, I want to continue, it is too difficult.

Li Zhi smiled bitterly, took a note from the desk, patted it and said: "Jing Chu is supporting the chaos in Jiangnan, why don't I also support the chaos, the situation I am facing is much more difficult than Jing Chu......"

"The person who wrote these notes, who is not a meritorious person of the Tang Dynasty, who is not the secretary of state, look at this note, Yongxing County Gong, the Ministry of Industry Lang Yu Chang, a member of the Yu clan, his father is Yu Shinan, one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion."

"Yu Chang's official position is not high, but his weight is not small, after all, he is the descendant of the heroes of Lingyan Pavilion, and he is also the county prince of the dynasty. How could I ignore the notes he handed over? A person of Yu Chang's weight is all at the table in front of him. ”

Li Zhi sighed: "Jing Chu stabbed the sky in Jiangnan, and I don't know what situation he is in now, but I am trembling in Chang'an, it's too difficult!" ”

The martial queen showed a decisive look, and at this time, she finally showed her ruthlessness in not letting her eyebrows go.

"Your Majesty, the concubines of the Jiangnan chaos believe that Jing Chu will solve it properly, as long as the Jiangnan families are solved, the court will have a template from now on, and the problem of land annexation in the world can be done as usual, and now is the critical time, the concubines think that Your Majesty must not give up halfway."

"When the soup is boiling, Your Majesty can't take a salary, otherwise, the Tang Sheji will be passed on for a few generations, and the land problem will be out of control, and at that time the world will hardly even be able to recruit government soldiers, so how to conquer the world, and what to talk about the 'sea of stars'?"

Li Zhi hung his head and was silent.

Who doesn't understand the truth? But it is very difficult to actually do it.

After a long time, Li Zhi suddenly raised his head and gritted his teeth fiercely.

"Things have come to this point, it really shouldn't be abolished, it must be done to the end!"

Empress Wu's eyes suddenly showed a look of joy, she knew that her man had finally made up his mind.

Then Li Zhi looked out of the hall with resolute eyes, and shouted: "Wang Changfu! ”

The personal chamberlain Wang Changfu hurriedly entered the palace.

Li Zhi lowered his face coldly, and said lightly: "The Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are still in the book, and the people who are related to the Zhu family of Wujun in the court will be exempted from retrial as soon as the officials are dismissed." ”

"Let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple determine their personality first, Wu Jun Zhu's family, lawless, entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for many years, the heart of disobedience is obvious, and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple are ordered to strictly investigate!"

"The Son of Heaven sent Li Qinzai to raid the Zhu family of Wu County, there is no mistake and merit!"
