Chapter 42: Pei Lian's Countermeasures

In just a few days, another group of officials were dismissed, ranging from the third rank to the seventh grade, and for a time the entire officialdom was in a big voice. When many people saw Xiao Rui, the evil star, they all walked around.

On this day, in the Yushi Terrace, Xiao Rui was drinking tea with Lao Wei, and his subordinate Xu Yushi sent a copy, and his face was very embarrassed.

"Why, looking at your face, are you having hard bones again? I'll take a look. ”

People deal with the problem in six places by themselves, and Wei Zheng, the chief official of the Yushitai, is inconvenient to interfere, so he doesn't even look at it, and drinks tea by himself.

"Huh? Li Xiaogong, the king of Hejian County and the current secretary of the Ministry of Rites? Xiao Rui was slightly surprised, hearing this, Wei Zheng's hand drinking tea also trembled, and said in his heart, you can think about it, don't be like a dumbfounder.

Xu Yushi reminded in a low voice: "My lord, the king of Hejian County is a royal clan, and he is not a ......."

He wanted to say that he was not an old minister of the Emperor Taishang, but when he saw Wei Zheng next to him, he didn't dare to say it, because Wei Zheng was the chief adviser of the prince before.

Xiao Rui ignored it, quietly finished reading the paper, and looked up at Xu Yushi: "What do you mean?" What do you think our Yushitai is making all the fuss about? Specifically for old-fashioned ministers? Cleaning the court? Goshitai is not a pawn in party disputes! ”

Not a partisan feud? Then why are the people you recently ordered to rectify so tendentious? Who will believe it?

"Someone handed over the paper, we have to follow the rules to seriously investigate and investigate, whether it is the royal family or the court nobles, in front of Tang Law, everyone is equal. What the paper says, can it be clarified? ”

Xu Yushi shook his head: "No, the identity of the king of Hejian is special, we don't dare to check it easily." ”

Xiao Rui was so angry that he slapped the case, "Confused! Yushitai is telling the world that he is not afraid of power and wants to redress the grievances of the people of the world. And you're good, but the paper has to watch people put down the dishes? How can you convince the public? How can he go out to face the people? ”

Xu Yushi didn't dare to come out, Xiao Rui was too lazy to educate again, threw back the paper, and said coldly: "Within three days, find out everything, if you can't do it, leave six places." ”

After Xu Yushi left, Wei Zheng said in a deep voice: "Xiao Rui, do you want to think about it?" Li Xiaogong is not an ordinary person, not to mention the royal family, the Tang Dynasty founded the country and supported His Majesty, he has made great contributions. ”

Xiao Rui calmed down and took a sip of tea silently, sighed and said, "I have always admired the merits and loyalty of the King of Hejian County. But merit is merit or demerit, no matter who oppresses the people, they are digging the corner of the Tang Dynasty. ”

"Okay, don't be so angry, personal morality is different, everyone has times when they are confused and make mistakes." Wei Zheng persuaded.

Xiao Rui complained: "I'm not angry for the King of Hejian County, that's Your Majesty's business." I'm a bunch of angry souls, and others think that I, Xiao Rui, am a pawn in the party struggle, and they think so too? The Yushitai can only be like your cold-faced Lao Wei, the iron-faced and selfless Yushitai of the Tang Dynasty, and a mirror of the imperial court. ”

"These people are willing to degenerate, so don't they check their merits? Okay Lao Wei, I'll drink tea another day, I'll have to go back to six places to fix these stupid guys. ”

Xiao Rui left angrily, but Wei Zheng was a little worried, Li Xiaogong was not free to move. Xiao Rui has now offended the old minister, if Li Xiaogong is moved, then even the new Xungui will be offended, how will he gain a foothold in the Tang Dynasty officialdom in the future?

Thinking of this, Wei recruited his subordinates to pay close attention to Li Xiaogong's case, and he faintly noticed that there seemed to be an aura of conspiracy.

Lao Wei is worthy of being the top strategist of the Tang Dynasty, and he has been a think tank built by the prince, but it is different. At this moment, Prime Minister Pei Lian's mansion, listening to the report of his henchmen, Pei Lianyin smiled and said, "Xiao Rui? I want to see, do you dare to take this case? Check that we have Your Majesty's support for you, what about Li Xiaogong? ”

The housekeeper came to report: "Master, Liu Zhenghui, the governor of Hongzhou, and Wu Shitong, the governor of Yuzhou, wrote to inquire about the situation respectively, and claimed that they would return to Chang'an at the end of the year to report on their work. ”

Pei Lin shook his head and said: "Tell them, don't be anxious for the time being, this wind is only blowing in Chang'an City now, they are safe outside, don't show your head, it's best if you don't come back at the end of the year." ”

These people are the real ministers of the Emperor Taishang, and they were among the important ministers of Taiyuan Yuanmou.

It didn't take three days, it took two days to find out, Xiao Rui looked at the information in his hand and fell into thought.

In the mansion of the king of Hejian County, the housekeeper ran into the study quickly, "Ah Lang, Xiao Rui, the sixth imperial history of the Imperial History Terrace, handed over the name post, saying that he would come to visit him tomorrow." ”

"Xiao Rui? Song Guogong's son, the kid who has been hot recently, stirring up Chang'an City? For no reason, what did he come to see me for? "Li Xiaogong is playing with a beautiful inkstone.

The old housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "In the past two days, someone has been secretly investigating our business and acres, I thought that no one would dare to get along with our palace, so I ignored it, and now it seems that it is very possible, it may be that the Yushitai is investigating us." ”

"Oh? You mean, Xiao Rui investigated the case and found my head? Li Xiaogong was slightly surprised, and was interested in this Xiao Rui.

The old housekeeper replied: "Didn't you say that Xiao Rui was helping His Majesty purge the old ministers in the court?" Why can't you get along with our palace? ”

Li Xiaogong laughed: "Okay, good, worthy of being the son of Song Guogong, the tiger father has no dog." Everyone in the court knew that Xiao Yu was upright, and there was no room for sand in his eyes. Now it seems that his son is even more than his father. will only be the other party, if he wants to come, come on, my Hejian County Wangfu is not Fengde Yi's family, I am not afraid of him to check. ”

"By the way, this inkstone was sold at a high price, I am a military general, and my writing is just a vassal elegance, so I don't need such things."

The old housekeeper wanted to explain, but he had scruples, so he could only remain silent and go back to do errands.

The next day, Xiao Rui came alone as promised, and Li Xiaogong ordered his fifteen-year-old eldest son Li Chongyi to personally welcome Xiao Rui into the house, which made Xiao Rui feel embarrassed.

In the sixth place of the Yushi Terrace, listening to Xu Yushi's report, Master An paced back and forth, very worried, "Are you sure that the adult went to find the king of Hejian alone?" ”

"That's right, his subordinates want to go with him, but the adults won't let him, and he won't be loud if he says anything, one person is enough. The people below watched the adults enter the door. Xu Yushi regretted it a little, he should have reported it earlier.

Master An muttered: "It's bad, it's bad, the king of Hejian County is not Feng Deyi, that's the real military merit king, Your Majesty's cousin, the first general of the clan!" If an adult provokes him, will it end well? No, I'll go to Dr. Wei now. ”

"Master An, the adults are in danger alone, should we organize people to go together, even if we can't do things, at least we can protect the safety of adults, right?" Xu Yushi said anxiously.

"Keeping adults safe? Just with our group of helpless goods? Who will protect whom when the time comes? The king of Hejian is a famous general, and the palace is full of good players on the battlefield, which of you has ever fought? We are not qualified to be beaten. I hope that the adults can convince people with reason, and really start to move, although the adults are brave, but ...... Alas! ”

With a long sigh, Master An hurried to find Wei Zheng.
