The first Taoist priest of the Tang Dynasty

The people of Lizhou live and work in peace and contentment, the government of Lizhou seeks to benefit the people, and the business groups of Lizhou make money for the people. If this continues, the wealth of Lizhou will definitely exceed that of the Jiangnan area.

However, he, Li Shimin, really didn't expect that just after Zhong Wen returned, he would attack the two aristocratic families of King Zheng, and wiped out the entire Lizhou with one move.

"Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I also want to sue Zhong Wen. What Wang Yushi said just now is true. Yesterday, I received a letter from Lizhou. All the people in the two shops of King Zheng were killed. It can be said that the blood flowed like a river, scaring the people of Lizhou to the brim, and I want to sue Zhong Wen for arbitrariness, bullying the people and dominating the market, smashing shops and destroying things..."

Not long after Wang Ting's words fell, another official stood up and wanted to sue Zhong Wen.

And this person is an official of the Zheng family.

This person's name is Zheng Dingsheng, but he is not a descendant of the Zheng family, nor is he a descendant of the Zheng family, he just surrendered to the Zheng family.

In other words, Zheng Dingsheng was born in an ordinary family, and he had nowhere to seek refuge in Chang'an. In the end, the Zheng family accepted him.

Later, Zheng Dingsheng got a small official under the recommendation of the gentry.

Later, Zheng Dingsheng also climbed up slowly, and now he has become Yuanwailang of the Food and Beverage Department of the Ministry of Rites, and he can be regarded as an official with a lot of power from the sixth rank.

And yesterday, like the royal court, he got the news of the master's family, and after discussing with each other, he dared to sue Zhong Wen during the court meeting.

Wang Ting and Zheng Dingsheng represent the two aristocratic families of King Zheng, and everyone present knows this well.

However, what these two people said was heard by everyone, and everyone knew that it was a big deal.

What a scene with hundreds of heads falling to the ground.

Among the civil and military officials present, besides the generals, how many civil servants have seen such a scene?

What's more, just last year, Li Shimin also promulgated that as long as criminals are executed, all executions must be submitted to his desk, and he can review and approve the execution before execution.

But now, Lizhou is running in the opposite direction, ignoring the laws of the Tang Dynasty and arbitrarily trying to execute him. This is already another violation of the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

And Lizhou is even more unique. It didn't even send the letter back to Chang'an. Isn't this a contempt for the laws of the Tang Dynasty?Isn't this a contempt for the Tang emperor?Isn't this contempt for the officials?

"I want to sue Zhong Wen..."

"I want to sue Zhong Wen..."

"..."

The lawsuit of Wang and Zheng has attracted many officials to start suing.

A few months ago, they could not sue Zhong Wen, which made them inferior.

Now, this is the best opportunity to catch it.

As long as the officials who disliked Zhong Wen stood up and started attacking Zhong Wen.

However, the people who sued are basically the civil servants. As for the generals, almost no one stood up to agree.

Chapter 5 Fifteen: The Holy One is upset and Li Shan is angry

Sitting on the throne, Li Shimin saw this group of civil servants standing up again, and didn't even think about the slap in the face a few months ago.

This made Li Shimin dislike these civil officials more and more.

Even Wei Zheng, Duke of Julu County, who had a lot of advice to him, and his brother-in-law, eldest grandson Wuji, began to hate him more and more.

"Report to Your Majesty, Zhong Shaobao is not in Chang'an now, and there is no report from Lizhou. I don't know if this matter is true or not. Your Majesty should immediately recall Zhong Shaobao to Chang'an to explain to all the ministers. Your Majesty explained it clearly." Just as Li Shimin was upset, Li Zhong, Minister of Zongzheng Temple, stood up and said a fair word.

In fact, he, Li Zhong, saw that all the civil servants were starting to sue Zhong Wen after hearing the news. If this report really came to Chang'an, these civil servants would not be able to sue Zhong Wen.

Although Li Zhong didn't know whether the matter was true or not, after all, the parties involved were not in Chang'an, so it was impossible to draw any conclusion based on the words of a few people.

"Your Majesty, Lao Cheng, I also agree with Li Siqing's opinion, or let me go to Lizhou, Lao Cheng." After Li Zhong's words fell, Cheng Yaojin also stood up and said.

"My lord, I'll go." Yuchi Jingde immediately stood up.

"My lord, send me."

"..."

At this time, in the blink of an eye, the generals said they were going to Lizhou again.

However, they didn't know that those civil servants didn't want the people on the general's side to report the news first, so that Zhong Wen could escape.

Especially the two of Zheng Wang.

At this time, the two of them were thinking about how to prevent the people from the general's side from going to Lizhou.

At this time, Wei Zheng stood up again and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, we should send personnel from the Ministry of Rites to Lizhou for this matter. First, we can also eliminate those who are interested. Second, we should send people from the Ministry of Rites to go there." Lizhou is also reasonable."

"I object. It's unreasonable for people from the Ministry of Rites to go to Lizhou. If you really want to send people to Lizhou to recall Zhong Shaobao, it should be the person who is sent by the Holy Spirit. When will it be the turn of the Ministry of Rites?" Cheng Yaojin saw Wei Zheng Having come up with such a bad idea, he immediately objected loudly.

"Su Guogong, what you said is wrong. The Ministry of Rites has such an errand. Why is it unreasonable? Besides, this matter is not a trivial matter. If someone from the inner temple supervisor goes there, Zhong Shaobao may not be willing to come back. If the Ministry of Rites takes it The Holy Majesty wants to go, so if you want to come to Zhong Shaobao, you have to consider the consequences, right?" Wei Zheng countered.

"Old Wei, don't you know that the inner temple supervisor is in charge of conveying edicts? You, Old Wei, won't be confused by this minister, right?" Cheng Yaojin caught Wei Zheng's mistake and immediately counterattacked back.

"You..." Wei Zheng was so excited that he was speechless.

Seeing that Wei Zheng was dumb, Cheng Yaojin looked at Wei Zheng arrogantly, as if you can come and bite me if you say no.

In fact, Wei Zheng suggested to send people from the Ministry of Rites to Lizhou to issue an edict to Zhong Wen, which is not wrong.

But among the officials of the Ministry of Rites, which one is less protective than Zhong Wen?

What's more, Zhong Wen is still the governor of Lizhou, and he is also the Marquis of Miantani County.

It would be overwhelming if officials from the Ministry of Rites were sent to Lizhou to issue an edict.

And if the person from the internal servant supervisor went there, the standard would naturally be higher. After all, the internal servant represented the emperor, Li Shimin.

On the other hand, the officials of the Ministry of Rites are all civil servants after all, so their hearts are naturally inclined to the civil servants, not as selfless as the servants.

At this time, after Wei Zheng became silent, Changsun Wuji also started to speak.

Later, in the hall, all civil servants suggested sending officials from the Ministry of Rites to Lizhou.

On the contrary, on the side of the generals, most of the people support the dispatch of the internal servants to Lizhou, which can be said to be equally disputed.

At this moment, inside and outside the hall, there was another buzzing sound.

This caused Li Shimin a severe headache, and he didn't know how to make this decision.

Although he doesn't like the civil servants, if there is no conclusion on this matter, it is impossible for him to escape today.

Annoyed, annoyed.

Li Shimin stroked his forehead, sighed helplessly, and looked at Li Shan who was not far away.

Li Shimin wanted to know why the report from Baiqisi hadn't arrived yet.

If what happened in Lizhou is exactly as Zheng and Wang said, the report of Baiqisi should have arrived in Chang'an City.

However, today's grand court meeting made him feel helpless and tired.

From the beginning of the Great Court Conference, Li Shan was like an old man, with his eyes slightly closed, standing quietly aside, like a person with only ears but no mouth.

However, when King Zheng and King Zheng began to sue Zhong Wen, although Li Shan's eyes were still slightly closed, his ears were listening carefully.

Of course, Wang Ting and Zheng Dingsheng knew which faction they belonged to.

At the same time, he also knew what the two of them had done.

In other words, the report from Lizhou was already sent to Chang'an when Zhong Wen left Lizhou.

However, the report presented by Zheng Zhi and the others was a few days later than the news of Zheng Wang's family.

However, the news of Baiqisi was earlier than the news of King Zheng's family. It had already arrived in Chang'an half a month ago, and it was even delivered to Li Shan.

As the direct leader of Baiqi Division, all the news of Baiqi Division will eventually reach Li Shan's hands. Whether it is important or not, it is all up to him to judge and then submit it to Li Shimin's hands.

However, although the report of Lizhou Baiqisi had already arrived in Li Shan's hands, he had not delivered it to Li Shimin.

As for whether Li Shan has any thoughts or thoughts, this is naturally self-evident.

It is Li Shan who has been sent to the Taiyi Sect, how can he not know the importance of this matter.

My senior brother did such a sensational thing in Lizhou, even against the two super aristocratic families of King Zheng. If this is not handled carefully, Zhong Wen may be in big trouble.

As a junior, of course he had to eliminate some troubles for his senior.

Although, even without Li Shan and the memorial presented by Zheng Zhi and the others, Zhong Wen would have nothing to do.

It's just that the official report from Lizhou hadn't arrived in Chang'an, but the court meeting had started to attack Zhong Wen, which annoyed Li Shimin even more.

When Li Shimin looked at Li Shan, he found that Li Shan did not respond to him.

Li Shimin thought in his heart, is there something wrong with Baiqisi about the matter of Lizhou.

Immediately, Li Shimin asked Li Shan, "Li Shan, is there any news from Lizhou?"

When Li Shan heard Li Shimin calling him, he hurriedly replied, "Go back to the Holy Majesty, please wait, I will go and carry it to the Holy Majesty."

After speaking, Li Shan nodded to a guard in the distance.

The imperial guard had been waiting for a long time, and after receiving Li Shan's signal, he immediately ran away.

At this time, Li Shimin was at a loss.

Hearing Li Shan's words, I was really puzzled.

Whether there is any report from Lizhou, logically speaking, it can be handed to him directly, but he listened to Li Shan saying that he brought it.

What can be lifted?

At this moment, the officials who had calmed down were also puzzled like Li Shimin.

Quiet.

The hall was quiet.

It was very quiet outside the hall.

All the officials were waiting for Li Shan to bring something over, waiting for Li Shimin's final decision.

Joy and joy.

At the same time, there are concerns.

Those who were happy were naturally civil servants, while those who looked worried were only those who had a little friendship with Zhong Wen.

For example, Zongzheng Siqing Li Zhong, Cheng Yaojin, Yuchi Jingde and others.

As for the generals, although many people don't like Zhong Wen, they are also generals, and they don't want their side to be attacked and defeated by the civil officials. Therefore, when they deal with this matter, they are also helpless. Can support, but can't do anything.

After a while, the shadow suddenly appeared.

Several guards behind him carried a wooden frame on which were placed many booklets.

At this time, the officials knew why Li Shan used the word "raise" when responding to the Holy Majesty.

However, those officials were still very curious, why did Li Shan have people bring so many books over, could it be that the things Zhong Wen committed in Lizhou were recorded on these books?

"Your Majesty." After Ying entered the main hall, he saluted Li Shimin.

"The shadow is here, hurry up and bring a chair for the shadow." Seeing the shadow suddenly coming to the hall, Li Shimin was very puzzled.

But seeing his respect and dependence on the shadow, he hurriedly told his personal guard.

Shadow has a chair to sit on, and no one dares to say anything, and no one dares to question that Shadow can sit and talk or something.

In terms of age, who among the people present has a shadow as old as him?Who has the great credit of the shadow?

No.

However, the shadow has never participated in government affairs, let alone participate in political discussions.

Today, however, it was suddenly approaching the court, which made everyone very curious, and wanted to know why the shadow came suddenly.

"My lord, these books record all the affairs of the Zheng family and the Wang family in Lizhou. At the same time, they also record the things that Wang Ting and Zheng Dingsheng have done. Please have a look." Li Shan took ten Several booklets were presented to Li Shimin and said respectfully.

Dozens of books.

Yes, there are really dozens of books.

Li Shimin took the brochure and looked at Li Shan, feeling even more puzzled.

There are more than ten books presented to him, and there are more than ten books on the shelf. When is this a report, this is a record.

But when Li Shan was speaking, Wang Ting and Zheng Dingsheng were in a panic.

As Li Shan said, the booklet recorded the things they two had done in their lives. As for what was recorded in the booklet, although the two of them didn't know about it, they knew that the things recorded in the booklet were definitely not good things.

"Li Shan, are you sure there are so many?" Li Shimin was puzzled and asked Li Shan.

"Hui Sheng, you will understand after reading it." Li Shan returned as he said.
