The magpie stopped for a moment at the eaves and left.

Life has its ups and downs, and it is also up and down to become an official in the court, and it is a very stupid thing to talk about freedom with the emperor.

The emperor wants you to be an official, and if you don't do it, you will resist the decree.

"I'll go to the palace by myself early tomorrow morning." Zhang Yang drank tea.

"Will there be anything wrong with the husband?" Li Yue whispered, his expression still full of worry.

"No surprise, I made it home in time for lunch."

……

Early the next morning, after the couple finished breakfast, today's morning Ju Wentai will enter the palace to see Li Shimin, and there is also the impeachment of the official in the court.

"I'll send my husband to Suzaku's door." Li Yue barely managed to squeeze out some smiles.

"Then when you get to the door, you go home, even if I'm in prison, don't take out the movable type printing easily."

Li Yue nodded vigorously.

Zhang Yang glanced at the palace gate, "Don't worry, I don't think this kind of thing is so terrible to impeach, besides, we are all ready to go back." ”

"I'm waiting here for my husband." Li Yue's tone was firm.

Take a deep breath and walk into the palace gate, walk in from the imperial city, advance to the Chengtian Gate, and then turn a small path into the boundary of the East Palace.

The prince is not in the East Palace, so he should go to the Taiji Hall to attend the court meeting at this time.

There were also many palace maids and eunuchs at the gate of the East Palace, and these people all cast sympathetic glances.

Zhang Yang smiled bitterly, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the impeachment of civil officials could not be hidden, and there were rumors of rumors long before the early dynasty.

The two guards of the East Palace, looking at the back of this colt, were walking towards the Chongwen Palace.

"Yesterday there was news that there will be several officials impeaching the horses today?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince values him so much, and such a big thing has happened in Gaochang, I think he should be unlucky."

"I heard that this person's eight characters are very strange, and he doesn't seem to be suitable for being an official?" The eunuch who passed by whispered.

"It looks like it should be." The guard nodded thoughtfully.

……

Zhang Yang came to the front of the Chongwen Palace, pushed open the door of the Chongwen Palace, and the sunlight fell into the dim hall.

Picked up a book from the bookshelf, this book is written about the previous life of Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty died, Chen Shubao was mediocre, and there was a lack of good ministers in the court, and Emperor Wen of Sui at that time was planning to kill Chen Shubao.

Emperor Wen of Sui's ascension to the throne was also full of killings, and he encountered the Jiangnan rebellion, and Yang Guang was still just the head of the march at that time.

"Chao Yilang, Your Majesty summons, please go to the Taiji Hall immediately."

Zhang Yang put down the scroll in his hand, "Understood." ”

The eunuch bowed and said, "Please." ”

Some of them are like settling old accounts, and they still have to be faced.

What Li Shimin wants in his heart is Gaochang, Tian Khan may help Ju Wentai rehabilitate, but Gaochang will definitely be the Tang Dynasty in the future.

Follow the eunuch all the way to the front of the Taiji Palace.

The ministers were among them, Ju Wentai was standing behind the court, and Xu Jingzong and Zhang Daxiang were standing on the side, Zhang Dasu.

I haven't been to the Taiji Hall for some days, and I miss it somehow.

"Your Majesty, the courtiers have arrived."

"Come in!"

Li Shimin's voice came from inside the hall.

Zhang Yang took a step, the ministers were on both sides, and before he walked to the court, he saw Ju Wentai, his eyes were blank, his complexion was dark, and his eyes were black, a guy who had been hollowed out by wine and meat.

"Your Majesty." Zhang Yang bowed slightly.

"That's you!"

As soon as the words fell, he heard Ju Wentai's words, and he said sharply: "You are the one who caused the Gaochang rebellion now. ”

Ju Wentai pointed at Zhang Yang and the others, "Tian Khan, cut them down quickly, send troops to aid Gaochang, Gaochang is willing to support Tian Khan forever." ”

The man's finger was still pointing.

It was uncomfortable to be pointed at, and Zhang Yang took a deep breath, intending to make a move that would likely be punished.

After thinking about it for a while, I couldn't wait for Li Shimin to ask.

Zhang Yang lifted a kick and kicked Ju Wentai to the ground.

"The court's Lang is rude." Wei Zheng immediately shouted.

He was kicked to the side of the general, and Cheng Yanjin quietly kicked hard.

Ju Wentai just wanted to stand up, but was kicked to the ground by Cheng Biting Jin, and he was embarrassed for a while.

At this moment, Zhang Yang wanted to give Cheng Yanjin a thumbs up, the general's action was very secretive, if he hadn't been at this angle, he wouldn't have seen the foot he quietly raised.

The action is very small, but it can make him lose his balance, and the kick is the opponent's calf, both the angle and the strength are just right, he is worthy of being a general who has led troops to fight for many years, and he is really skilled in the black hand.

Ju Wentai looked back, at this moment, Cheng Biting Jin closed his eyes and sat down, glanced at the row of generals, and couldn't find anyone who made a bad deal for a while, and finally his eyes fell on Qin Qiong, Cheng Biting Jin, and Hou Junji.

Zhang Yang hurriedly saluted, "Your Majesty, above the court, King Gaochang stretched out his hand and pointed at the bottom, full of malice, and he had a bad temper, please forgive your Majesty." ”

"Bad temper?" Li Shimin gritted his teeth and popped out four words.

"The minister was born in the countryside, I don't know how to forbear, he pointed at me like this, it's not bad that I didn't beat him......" Zhang Yang thought about it again and then said: "Even if I am guilty, King Gaochang should not point at me like this, my sin will be punished by His Majesty, why should King Gaochang dictate to his ministers?" ”

"I'm ......" King Gaochang wanted to speak for a while.

"Your Majesty, the last general thinks that the court is right." Cheng Yanjin took the opportunity to interject.

"I didn't let you speak." Li Shimin glared.

Cheng Yanjin closed his eyes again, and when he had said everything, he would shut up when he shut up......

"How dare you kick me?" Ju Wentai gritted his teeth.

Zhang Yang stood up straight, faced King Gaochang and said with a smile: "King Gaochang, even if you are any of our subjects in the Central Plains, even if you are an ordinary citizen, you should not be so arrogant, otherwise we will be angry, as an outsider, you should pay attention to your behavior." ”

"You think you're still a squire of the Ministry of Rites? Why should you tell me?! ”

"I'm not a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but I'm a courtier? Does King Gaochang know what the court council does? ”

Ju Wentai was stunned, blinked, looked at the official on the side again, and asked, "What does Chao Yilang do?" ”

Zhang Yang explained: "The court councillor has the right to advise, and he can also provide His Majesty with a strategy for governing the country through statements...... In short, I'm a good person, you're a bad person. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Li Tai on the side coughed very emotionally.

Zhang Yang bowed again, "The minister is rude." ”

In front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he was neither humble nor arrogant, and said Ju Wentai speechlessly, Li Shimin felt a little more appreciative in his heart, and thought in his heart that he also relied on such a rebuttal technique to let Tuyuhun hand over the Hexi Corridor.

"Your Majesty, what's the matter with the ministers?" Zhang Yanghu was suspicious.

"Puff ......" Li Tai on the side couldn't hold back his laughter.

Li Shimin sat on the throne, put his hands on his knees, looked at Ju Wentai again, and said with a straight face: "King Gaochang said that the strategy of the Ministry of Rites led to the rebellion of Gaochang, and this strategy was issued by the Ministry of Rites?" ”

"Your Majesty, that strategy was written by Xu Shilang." Zhang Yang immediately replied, "It's not ......"

Xu Jingzong's legs were weak, and he almost knelt down to cry out for injustice.

Zhang Yang sighed and said: "The ministers of Gaochang know what happened, and the ministers have a few things they want to ask King Gaochang. ”

Ju Wentai's nostrils were full of anger, and his eyes were full of anger.

If the eyes can kill a person, maybe he has died many times, seeing that Li Shimin did not object, Zhang Yang cleared his throat, "Dare to ask King Gaochang, is the strategy given to you by the Ministry of Rites easy to use?" ”

"It doesn't work!" Ju Wentai shouted: "Gaochang has been occupied by those rebels, and your Ministry of Rites is to blame." ”

"It seems that King Gaochang still has less books, it's terrible to be uneducated, and he can't even distinguish the priority of responsibility, but fortunately, it is in the Taiji Palace, if you are outside, if you are sold, you are still counting money for others." Zhang Yang shook his head and sighed: "Please use some wisdom before speaking." ”

"You mean I'm stupid?" King Gao Chang clenched his hands into fists and trembled.

"I didn't mean that, I just said you're not very smart."

"Humph!" Ju Wentai snorted coldly.

Li Tai, who was standing behind Li Chengqian, thought, this Zhang Yang is really ruining people, obviously he is scolding him for being stupid, can't he hear it? Is there any difference between the two?

It's really sold and counted for others.

Are all the people in the Western Regions so stupid?

Li Tai's brows furrowed and he was puzzled.

Zhang Yang said again: "Dare to ask King Gaochang, did Gaochang come to congratulate him and ask the Ministry of Rites for advice to solve the Yanqi Rebellion?" ”

Ju Wentai did not object, and was silent.

Zhang Yang then asked: "Our Ministry of Rites did give us a strategy, and Gao Chang also gladly accepted it, and if he volunteered, he used our strategy?" ”

Ju Wentai nodded stiffly.

Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Since everything is your own volition, what do you have to do with us. ”

The Taiji Hall was very quiet, and Zhang Yang's voice continued, "What can be determined first is that the strategy of using the Ministry of Rites is your own volition, and the Ministry of Rites does not require you to do so." ”

"Secondly, at the beginning of the use of this strategy, did it work very well, solved your difficulties in Gaochang, and allowed Gaochang's wealth to be more concentrated in the hands of King Gaochang?"

Ju Wentai was still silent and did not deny it.

The strategy is indeed provided by the Ministry of Rites, and as for whether it is used or not is Gao Chang's own business, this sounds right, and Gao Chang is not forced to use this strategy.

"The Ministry of Rites is kind enough to help, if something happens, you still have to blame the Ministry of Rites, and you also contacted the officials in the court to impeach me and impeach the Ministry of Rites, dare to ask King Gaochang if you are worthy of your conscience by doing this?"

"I ......" Ju Wentai wanted to say but stopped.

Zhang Yang turned to look at Ju Wentai, "From this moment on, everything I said really happened in Gaochang, all of this is news sent by Yanqi, if you deny it, we can also ask Yanqi or other small countries in the Western Regions." ”

Seeing that Ju Wentai still didn't speak, Zhang Yang said loudly: "Then please listen to King Gaochang, the strategy given by the Ministry of Rites has worked very well at the beginning, helping King Gaochang to get more wealth on the trade route in the Western Regions." ”

"But you are not satisfied with the fact that at present, you will enslave more people from the Western Regions, and force ordinary people from the Western Regions to become the slaves of your Gaochang by forcibly buying them, so that you can get more wealth."

"And your thirst is even more, you have torn thousands of families apart, many Gaochang civilians have lost their freedom, and they have not been paid for their work all day, and it is precisely because of your forced enslavement that you have angered people's hearts."

"Where there is oppression, there is resistance, you are a profligate monarch, because of your greed, tens of thousands of people in the Western Regions have lost their homes, and you are to blame for this consequence, what does the Ministry of Rites have to do."

Looking at the other party's eyes from anger to dazedness, Zhang Yang lowered his head and closed his eyes and said slowly: "You are now standing in the Taiji Hall to accuse me, accuse the Ministry of Rites, and want the Heavenly Khan to deal with me, or you want my life." ”

"It's all just your poor self-esteem, because your self-esteem doesn't want to put all this fault on yourself, you don't think you're at fault, you don't admit your atrocities."

"You still want Tian Khan to help you call the shots, if Tian Khan really helps you make decisions about your atrocities, what do you think the Western Regions will think of Tian Khan."

Zhang Yang saluted Li Shimin, "Your Majesty, the minister told King Gaochang that he wanted to trap His Majesty in injustice, and asked Your Majesty to be aware of it!" ”

After speaking, there was silence in the Taiji Hall, and everyone was thinking about Zhang Yang's words.

A court meeting that originally impeached Zhang Yang, and at this moment everyone looked at King Gaochang.

Wei Zheng took a step forward, "Your Majesty's situation in Gaochang is unknown, if King Gaochang really has such an atrocity, Datang must not send troops to help." ”

Fang Xuanling also stepped forward, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he should ask other countries in the Western Regions to testify and find out whether King Gaochang committed this atrocity. ”

King Gaochang took a few steps back weakly, this kind of thing can't be hidden, but if you ask the countries of the Western Regions, the court will definitely know about this matter.

Ju Wentai stood in place without a master, and Zhang Yang's every word was like a thorn in his heart.

The court meeting finally ended with Li Shimin asking the military department to send people to the Western Regions to investigate.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, Li Shimin sat in the Ganlu Palace, thinking about Zhang Yang's words repeatedly in his heart, and he looked at the eldest grandson Empress who was sorting out the miscellaneous items in the hall, "This Zhang Yang has given me a chance to establish his authority in the Western Regions. ”

"Zhang Yang again?"

"If everything is true, I punish Ju Wentai as the Heavenly Khan, and I can gain a lot of people's hearts in the Western Regions."

Empress Eldest Sun's movements stopped, so Zhang Yang was fine, so she continued to sort out the sundries in the Manna Hall with confidence.

A court meeting against Zhang Yang ended with Zhang Yang's rebuttal, and the Ministry of Rites was not guilty, and Zhang Yang was not guilty.

In the face of the impeachment of the court, Zhang Yang ended the court meeting with a victorious attitude, and even sued Ju Wentai.

Ju Wentai was immediately taken under house arrest by officers and soldiers.

Under the gaze of the ministers, Zhang Yang walked out of the Vermilion Bird Gate, it was already noon, and Li Yue was still waiting here.

Seeing her husband come out, Li Yue stepped forward in small steps, "Husband, how is it?" ”

Zhang Yang took her hand, "It's okay, let's go home for dinner." ”

"Well, go home and eat."

Li Yue squinted and smiled happily.

It felt very uncomfortable to be followed on the way home, and he looked back at Li Tai.

The little fat man did not hide his adoring gaze in the slightest.

Zhang Yang stopped, "Is His Royal Highness King Wei coming to eat?" ”

Li Tai said stupidly: "Brother-in-law, how did you do it?" ”

"Actually, it's nothing, it's nothing more than my heroic righteousness."

"Integrity?"
