Struggle in the early Tang Dynasty

To put it bluntly, my own remonstrance is another way of catering to Shang's wishes.Now, His Majesty Li Er has made it clear that he wants to protect Guo Ye, and the conditions for this harmony no longer exist.

Second, to forge iron requires one's own hard work. I have been clean and surrendered in my whole life, and I have no reason to be caught by others.It is of course justifiable to impeach others.

Fortunately, in the case of Monk Tianfu, Guo Ye caught him by mistake.Now it's okay to let myself go with the crowd, let myself confront Guo Ye head-on, I really don't have the guts.

The right time, place, and people are gone, and you still make a blunt remonstrance?Isn't that to die?

Although I was very reluctant in my heart, I couldn't help myself when I was in court.Wei Zheng is well-known all over the world for his outspoken remonstrance. If he doesn't speak up in this situation, he may lose his reputation for the rest of his life.

Wei Zheng thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, there are many rumors outside that the late servant Wang Gui is related to the Dade Temple case. However, what Qin Guogong said just now did not mention Wang Shizhong at all. I am afraid it will be hard to convince the world .Do you think it is ... to send the case back for retrial?"

These words have no strength, Wei Zheng is simply dealing with an errand.In Wei Zheng's plan, no matter whether His Majesty Li Er agrees or not, as long as he agrees, he will retreat, and he will not get burned anyway.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty Li Er didn't give him any face, and said: "Wei Zheng, are you old and confused?"

Wei Zheng couldn't help but said, "Your Majesty...how do you say that?"

"All the monks involved in this case have died, so the retrial will go to the underworld for trial?"

"Then there is Wang Shizhong's suicide note..."

"Suicide note? Did you see the suicide note?"

"That's not true, but it's all rumored..."

"Rumours? I've only heard that Yu Shi can play rumors, but I haven't heard that Zhongshuling wants to play rumors!"

"Uh... this minister is reckless, this minister resigns!"

Wei Zheng was repelled by His Majesty Li Er for a while, so how dare others fight Ma Zhiming?

But, just watching Guo Ye turn black and white in court?Just let the old servant Wang Guibai die?Everyone really felt sorry for their conscience.

Ever since, above the court hall, fell into an eerie silence.

His Majesty Li Er saw that it was not a matter, so he winked at Dong Shun.Eunuch Shun yelled in the voice of the male duck: "If you have something to play, you have nothing to do..."

Still no one said anything.

His Majesty Li Er glanced around and said in a deep voice, "Scatter the court!"

"I will send you to Your Majesty."

The morning court on the ninth day of July in the 12th year of Zhenguan ended in a strange atmosphere.Most of the upright courtiers felt that the result of this early court was inconceivable.What they didn't expect was that even more incredible things were yet to come...

Chapter 1749 Weird Personnel Arrangements

In the final analysis, justice is in the heart.

Guo Ye is indeed a little unreasonable about the glass utensils.It's nothing more than glassware, but the most important thing is that this incident actually killed the old servant Wang Gui.

In the court, it is necessary to comment on the words of a gentleman.The first one has to be said to be Wei Zheng and Wei Xuancheng.The second one has to be said to be Wang Gui and Wang Shujie.That is the famous integrity and self-defense, upright.

Such a good and honest official was forced to death.Who doesn't resent?

How about your high status and weight?How is it that you, Guo Ye, are favored?Even if you are really His Majesty's illegitimate child, you can't cover the sky with one hand, right?

You must be punished for stabbing such a big mess, right?

Even if you lift it up high and put it down gently, it only removes you from the position of Chang'an Ling, for His Majesty's sake, we can hold our noses and bear it.

As a result, no!Absolutely not!Not only were you unscathed, but you were also rewarded with one hundred thousand coins.

Is there any reason for this?Is there still a king's law?

Tolerable or unbearable!

All the courtiers were resentful in their hearts and did not dare to trouble His Majesty Li Er, so a wave of evil fire was sent to Guo Ye.

They didn't dare to trouble Guo Ye on the surface, but there was no problem in expressing a non-cooperative or even contemptuous attitude.For a moment, Guo Ye seemed to be a pile of stinky dog ​​shit, and everyone avoided him for fear of being too late.

Not only that, under their publicity, Guo Ye's reputation among the people is also stink in the street!In a blink of an eye, Guo Ye's name could be compared with Fei Zhongyouhun of the Shang Dynasty, Zhao Gao of the Qin Dynasty, and Dong Zhuo of the Han Dynasty.

When the family members of Duke Qin's mansion went out, they were looked down upon by many people.Not to mention what is expensive to buy, and some people even don't do business with Duke Qin's mansion at all.

After this trend started, the officials began to wait to see Guo Ye's jokes.If you, Guo Ye, feel a little bit ashamed of all the crowding out, you should know that people are against you and resign voluntarily.

But, it turns out, they were wrong.Guo Ye hadn't taken the initiative to resign yet, and an unprecedented storm in the officialdom hit them, making them completely unable to care about crowding out Guo Ye.

His Majesty Li Er has already started the cleaning of the court.

First of all, Wei Zheng went to the table and begged for bones on the grounds of old age and infirmity.His Majesty Li Er slightly persuaded him to stay, that's all.

No one in the court knew that although Wei Zheng was almost sixty, he was in good health.This time I took the initiative to resign, no need to ask, it was forced!Forced by whom?Then there is no need to ask, His Majesty Li Er.

This is not over yet, and then the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Kong Yingda, also under the hint of His Majesty Li Er, made a memorial to beg for bones.

Finally, His Majesty Li Er also issued an imperial decree, ordering the Ministry of Officials to clean up officials over 60 years old and below the fourth rank.

With so many positions vacant, who will replace them?

Guo Ye was transferred from the position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. As for his position of Minister of the Ministry of Rites, he was taken over by Cen Wenwen, the minister of the Ministry of Rites.Wei Zheng's post of Zhongshuling is temporarily vacant.In the name of Zhongshu Minister, Li Xinglian is temporarily in charge of the daily affairs of the Zhongshu Ministry.

Wang Gui's post as servant was canceled by His Majesty Li Er.From then on, the Menxia Province was under the responsibility of the four Menxia Ministers.

In addition, the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, which had been vacant for several years, also had a master, that is the eldest brother Hei Wei Chigong.

As for the retired senior officials, they will be replaced by competent personnel selected by the Ministry of Officials.

Civil and military officials, seeing these edicts, felt chills again.Even Guo Ye, who was the biggest beneficiary of this matter, felt greatly inappropriate.

Of course he knew that the purpose of His Majesty Li Er's move was to strengthen his control over the court, and then implement his plan to truly unify the world.

But this transfer of personnel is too outrageous.

Let's talk about Yu Chigong first, Da Laohei is good at fighting, so it's no problem for him to be the leader of the army.But he can't read, the Ministry of War is responsible for the transfer of soldiers, the distribution of food and grass, how can Yu Chigong, a big bastard, be able to be the Minister of the Ministry of War?

Besides, I am not the material to be a minister of officials at all.The Minister of the Ministry of Officials is known as the official of heaven.Responsible for evaluating the appointment and removal of officials below the fourth rank.Converted to future generations, that is, officials at the department level and below can decide with one word!

This official position is too important and too sensitive.If you are not a person of high morals and respect, how can you secure this position?

This is not a bad person. Sending Yang Fengyi to threaten him with force will be enough.In this position, what is needed is not force, but prestige!As for myself, I don't have prestige, but my notoriety is famous all over the world!

How can I convince the officials below when I am the Minister of the Ministry of Officials?Also, the original Minister of the Ministry of Officials was Kong Yingda, and he had a good relationship with old man Kong.This time it is equivalent to snatching his Minister of the Ministry of Officials, how can I explain it when I meet him later?

What's more serious is that I have to be responsible for the removal of old officials, which is a thankless job.Those elderly officials, let themselves cry, make trouble and hang themselves, how can they deal with it?

The benevolent see benevolence and the wise see wisdom.When Guo Ye saw these appointments, what he saw was that His Majesty Li Er had used too much force in order to carry out his plan to unify the world, and the official positions were not given to people.
