In the Zichen Palace, the emperor sits high, the queen of martial arts hangs the curtain, and the ministers stand.

Li Jingxuan, the secretary of the ministry, stepped forward to play: "Your Majesty, Gui, Guangzhou, Jiao, Guizhou and other governors' mansions, many of the local people are elected as officials, and the simple selection is improper, please from now on, every four years, send more than five grades of honest officials as messengers, and order the imperial history to go together to select officials." ”

Li Xuan stood among the ministers, Liu Boying, the secretary of Honglu Temple on the left, and Yang Shan, the young secretary of Honglu Temple, on the right, listened to the government solemnly.

At the beginning of this year, the Nazhou Fang people rebelled, and the governor of Qianzhou sent troops to crusade.

Although the war ended quickly, the matter involved the maladministration of the governors of Guizhou, Guangzhou, Jiaojiao, and Guizhou in appointing local officials as officials.

After months of deliberation, the officials finally came to a final conclusion.

"Yes!" Li Zhi nodded lightly, it is about the stability of the southwest, and this is not a trivial matter.

"Whoa." Li Jingxuan bowed slightly, and then retreated between the ministers.

Li Zhi raised his head with a calm face, looked at the ministers and said, "Zhuqing, what else is the matter?" ”

"Your Majesty!" The squire Shi Di Renjie stood up from the queue and solemnly bowed his hand to the emperor.

"What is Di Qing's doing?" Li Zhi sat up slightly straight, and his gaze fell on the ministers.

Among the five pins of the various departments of Shangshu Province, all of them straightened their ears in an instant, and their eyes all fell on Di Renjie's body.

Only Zuo Shilang Zhong Wang Benli stood in place with a calm face, as if he didn't know what kind of storm would happen next.

Li Zhi's gaze swept over Li Xuan not far away, and Li Xuan also had a calm face.

The difference is that Wang Benli really doesn't know anything, but Li Xuan has already planned today's ending.

"The minister impeached Zuo Shilang Zhongwang Benli for being arrogant and domineering, insulting the ministers, being treacherous, bullying the superiors and subordinates, please pay the three law divisions to investigate strictly." After Di Renjie finished speaking, he bowed heavily, and the entire hall was solemn.

Wang Benli suddenly woke up like a dream, his face was swollen and red, and he looked at Di Renjie in disbelief.

He really couldn't believe that Di Huaiying, who had just taken up the post of serving the imperial history, was the first to take the lead in stabbing him.

Li Zhi sat on the throne and muttered for a long time, and behind him, there was not the slightest sound from the Empress Wu.

Finally, Li Zhi spoke: "Wang Qing, as Zuo Shilangzhong, supervises the government affairs of officials, households, and the Ministry of Rites, and it is inevitable that he will act impatiently and impulsively. ”

Although Li Zhi was punishing, he was actually pardoning Wang Benli's crimes.

After all, Wang Benli is still meritorious, and it is okay to protect one.

Di Renjie stood between the civil and military forces in the main hall, raised his head, looked at Li Zhi with a solemn face, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, although the imperial court lacks talents, there is no shortage of Wang Benli's generation, Your Majesty, why do you regret such a sinner to lose the laws of the Tang Dynasty." If Your Majesty is determined to pardon him, please exile him in a desolate land as a lesson of future loyalty. ”

Di Renjie looked at Li Zhi directly, and said categorically: Today's matter, with me without him, with him without me.

The whole momentum is unstoppable and unstoppable.

Li Zhi's brows were already furrowed, and Wang Benli, who was standing in the queue, couldn't help but tremble.

At this time, the emperor did not summon Wang Benli at all, giving him the slightest chance to defend himself.

Wang Benli seemed to have forgotten how to defend himself at this moment, as if he had been frightened by Di Renjie who had acted like this.

Looking at Di Renjie, who insisted, Li Zhi sighed lightly, and finally couldn't help shaking his head, and said: "Di Qing, why bother, pass on the decree, dismiss Wang Benli Zuo Shilangzhong, demote him to the governor of Shengzhou, and take office immediately." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" A group of shiro leaders took the lead in chanting, and other high-ranking officials at all levels then praised them.

Wang Benli originally only beat the Hubu Langzhong, but almost instantly, he offended all the Langzhong of the Six Ministries, and even all the officials of the Six Ministries had no good impression of him, and now when he was in trouble, no one came out to intercede for him.

Not a single one.

Shangshu Zuocheng Cui Zhiwen stood beside Dai Zhide, the right minister, as if he didn't see it, and the crown prince Li Xian stood above with an indifferent face.

Although Wang Benli is Cui Zhiwen's deputy, his relationship with the emperor is closer than Cui Zhiwen.

There are some things that others don't know, but Cui Zhiwen is still clear.

At this time, it may not be a bad thing to let Wang Benli withdraw from the court like this.

In the main hall, there were naturally some people who were unwilling, and the corners of their eyes couldn't help but fall on Li Xuan.

In this matter, Di Renjie's impeachment was expected, and they even secretly promoted it.

In this, there should have been Li Xuan's impeachment, but the king of Nanchang did nothing.

Not only that, but the emperor's reaction also surprised many people.

Before that, I don't know how many imperial historians impeached Wang Benli, but nothing came of it.

Now that Di Renjie is impeached, even if it is in their expectation and Li Xuan, this kind of impeachment is not easy to achieve.

But now, it was only Di Renjie's impeachment, Li Xuan did not come forward at all, and the emperor only hesitated for a moment before easily deposing Wang Benli.

Everything went smoothly, they originally wanted to take a good look at Di Renjie, the king of Nanchang and the emperor colliding, but in the end there was nothing.

Li Zhi sat on the high platform, looked at Di Renjie, and said: "The Ministry of Officials will select the list of candidates for the new Zuo Shilang as soon as possible, and during this period, Di Qing is responsible for supervising the transportation of grain from the Ministry of Households, and must ensure that the grain and grass are transported to the front line of the Northwest Road as soon as possible. ”

Di Renjie was slightly stunned, and then immediately arched his hand and said, "The minister's order." ”

Pei Yan, Wu Chengsi, Yuan Wanqing, Fan Lubing and others were all stunned at the same time.

Although Zuo Shilangzhong's position was vacant, half of Zuo Shilang's authority was taken away by Di Renjie.

But they couldn't say anything, because this was a temporary position in itself, and whoever wanted to oppose it would be to focus on the position of Zuo Shiro.

The calculations in this will immediately be completely exposed to the eyes of the government and opposition officials.

This time, their secret calculations almost half failed, and a lot of eyes have fallen on Li Xuan and Di Renjie.

"Since it's okay, let's retreat." Li Zhi waved his hand slightly.

"Wait for the resignation!" Everyone present gave up their hands at the same time, and then slowly retreated.

The bead curtain behind Li Zhi shook gently at this moment......

……

Weishui Wharf, one after another large grain ships, slowly sailed to the northwest.

Dozens of officials from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Households, Shangshu Province, and the Imperial Historical Observatory kept checking up and down, and after confirming that there was no problem with the quantity and quality of military rations, they all sent them to the northwest.

Three hours later, it was dusk, and there were fewer ships coming and going.

Although military rations were still being sent to Chang'an in the direction of Luoyang, the soldiers on the ship needed to rest, and all the officials of various ministries went home to rest.

After all, at night, this kind of thing is easy to do.

Li Xuan, Di Renjie, and Lai Sui, the three of them slowly rode on the city avenue.

After a while, Lai Sui finally couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Wang Benli, who was rampant in the six departments, was deposed so easily, it feels like a dream." ”

Seeing that Li Xuan and Di Renjie were surprised, he then explained: "Since the first year of the Shangyuan Dynasty, Wang Benli served as Zuo Shilangzhong, and he was humble at first, but I don't know when he began to be arrogant, that is, he treated Shangguan better...... Several officials of the DPRK and China have been impeached repeatedly, but they have not been able to impeach and fall down, and this year, they have become more and more violent, and finally something happened the day before yesterday. ”

"This kind of thing, even back then, when Li Yifu was there, had never been so arrogant and domineering." Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head.

"Although Li Yifu has a wide range of friends, many lawlessness, power, and viciousness, he is still gentle and polite in the face, and he has never done this kind of thing of slapping Wupin Hubu Langzhong in person." Di Renjie immediately sneered and said, "If it were changed to Li Yifu, I am afraid that I would have been imprisoned a long time ago, and then forced to commit suicide." ”

"Without the power of Li Yifu, but even more arrogant and domineering than Li Yifu, how could the Langya Wang family produce such a child." Lai Sui couldn't help but shake his head.

Although the Langya Wang clan is in decline, it is also a large family in the southeast, but there are such descendants, which is really strange.

"Zuo Shilangzhong, one step further, is the head of the five eunuchs, the Shaoqing of the Nine Temples, who knows what he is eyeing again." Li Xuan shook his head, looked at Lai Sui and Di Renjie and said, "Two, Xuan has said goodbye first, and there are still all things to arrange at home." ”

He bowed his hand and asked casually, "The prince is about to leave, right?" ”

"Hmm." Li Xuan nodded and said: "The affairs of the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, with the assistance of the two brothers, are also appropriate, and the other Ministry of Works, the affairs of the prison will also be arranged, and now the rest is to ask Taiqingguan and Daci'en Temple to send people to Qingnan to preach and enlighten people's hearts." ”

When he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and arched his hand: "The prince is really extraordinary, he can think of such a method, it seems that the matter of Qingdong ......"

Li Xuan hurriedly waved his hand, and as a member of the military department, this kind of military transfer could not hide from him.

It's just that Li Xuan used Dao Buddha to suppress the hearts of the Tibetan people, which was also a measure that surprised everyone.

"Buddhism from Tianzhu to the east, the Tang Dynasty and Tubo prevailed at the same time, the people believe in a lot, if you can use the Tang Dynasty Buddhism, naturalize the people of Tubo, then the battlefield, can also be a little less angry." Li Xuan bowed his hand to Lai Sui and Di Renjie: "The two of you say goodbye!" ”

"Slow down!" Lai Sui and Di Renjie returned the salute at the same time.

Li Xuan nodded, then turned his horse and returned to Kaihuafang.

In a short time, Li Xuan already had a lot of small windmills and small toys such as Buhu in his hands, which he used to go home and coax Xia Niang to play.

A small note silently turned into powder in his hand.

Pei Yan, Wu Chenghe, Yuan Wanqing, Fan Lubing and others talked in private.

Today's event, those guys didn't achieve their goal, I'm afraid they won't be so happy.

In addition, although Di Renjie was transferred to supervise the transfer of grain and grass, he did not let go of the previous Zhaoling arson case.

And it is said that there has been considerable progress, and it is difficult to say what the outcome will be in case of who is implicated.

……

In the workshop, there are gradually more people.

King Xiang and the Dou family are engaged, although Li Dan himself is not there, but the clan has to take care of it.

Among the palaces of the Kaihuafang, it won't be long before many owners will return.

Li Xuan packed up his thoughts and turned around and entered King Peng's mansion.

Li Zhu, as well as the other guards and attendants, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

However, at the moment of entering the door, Li Xuan was stunned, and a black carriage stopped in the courtyard.

More than a dozen extremely elite guards stood at the gate of the second courtyard on the inside, and all the guards of the Peng Wangfu inside and outside, the family and the maids, were all driven back to the room.

Li Xuan's gaze swept over a slightly familiar face, and his heart was suddenly relieved.

looked sideways at Li Zhu behind him, and instructed: "Go back to the room, don't come out no matter what sound you hear." ”

"Whoa!" Li Zhu immediately gave up his hand, and then led the people towards the wings on both sides.

Li Xuan took a deep breath, untied the eight-sided Han sword hanging from his waist, handed it to the guards guarding the gate of the second courtyard, and then calmly walked into the courtyard.

Under the lobby of the inner courtyard, Xia Niang lay on a wooden stroller, stretched out her hands, and babbled.

On both sides, Liu Jinyu and Ouyang stood together.

In the center, Li Zhi, who was dressed in a yellow gown, was lying next to the stroller, giggling and playing with Xia Niang.

Cheng Wuting, the general of the forbidden army, stood with a knife like a majestic sword.
