At the beginning, he will be divided by five horses of Tang Taizong

"Your Majesty, what does this mean?"

"This matter doesn't seem so simple. Why are people like Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong repeatedly entrusted with important tasks by His Majesty? This clearly shows that they are still abolishing Wang Liwu..."

"That's right, now that His Majesty is sick, it seems that he is eager to get rid of Guan Long's lineage. This may also be an opportunity for us."

"Chance?"

Another official looked left and right, and said to several colleagues: "The day before yesterday, Li Yifu came to me and wanted me to share a copy with him and me as the Counselor Sun Wuji. There is a place for us above the court.”

"Hiss... the elder Sun Wuji really participated in the treason case?"

"It's very possible, otherwise, how could His Majesty be so indifferent?"

"The direction of the wind is about to change, by the way... What's the reaction from the Gaomen Family?"

"They are very close to Guan Long's line now!"

"......"

All the forces in the DPRK and China are making their own calculations. Even some people from aristocratic families or from various clans in Guanlong have their own thoughts at this time, especially many of them are branches of big families or just attached to these big families. At this time, officials have to think about their own future.

inside the palace

Wearing a lifetime palace attire, the plump and gorgeous Concubine Yang took the note handed back by the maid and waved her hand to let her go down.

After the maid left, Concubine Yang opened the wax seal and carefully looked at the contents inside. After a long while, she got up and burned the paper, pondered for a moment, and murmured: "I really don't know whether this is right or wrong. …”

After pondering for a long time, Concubine Yang sighed, called a maid, and handed her a piece of jade, "Give this to Uncle Yu, he knows what to do."

After the maid left, she looked in the direction of Liaodong.

People do not kill themselves for their own sake!

......

A vortex formed in Chang'an, like an invisible big hand, tearing everything violently.

And the waves behind all this are the prelude, and the real curtain is slowly opened under the cover of all these.

Above the court, no matter whether they are in the game or not, they all watch the development of the situation tacitly.

Chapter 357 Opening 1 (Two in One)

early morning

above the hall

Li Yifu Xu Jingzong and other courtiers still impeached officials from the Guanlong lineage such as Changsun Wuji Chu Suiliang.

Concubine Yin's cousin accepted bribes, two generals of the Yan family embezzled military pay, and dozens of officials wrote letters of impeachment at the same time, and the evidence was solid.

Not only that, I don’t know when some storytellers and ditty singers appeared on the street, and some beggars also hummed these things in the community

In the next few days, under the impetus of various forces, the whole matter spread rapidly in Chang'an, first the court, then the petty officials, and then merchants and merchants.

Even Goulan Washe Winery and other places are hotly discussed.

Benefiting from the fact that Li Shimin did not use the "river crab" magic beast on the court and the people when he was in the court, so that the enthusiasm of the people for the heated discussions in the court was very high.

"Have you heard that His Majesty wants to punish Duke Zhao..."

"Oh, the Guanlong lineage is really not a good thing. Although our Tang Dynasty is a government military system, our Tang Dynasty still allocates a lot of money to the army every year. As a result, we have never seen any of this money, and it all flowed into them. The blood-sucking leech is in the stomach."

"That's right, these people should be chopped off one by one."

"What a good man Qin's son-in-law, they actually slandered the son-in-law as an anti-thief and rebellious party. Now that the price of food and salt has risen, this group of shameless things."

"......"

At Zhao Guogong's mansion, Changsun Wuji walked back and forth, frowning together, inexplicably irritable.

There are still a few chapters of "small advertisements" on the table in front of him, which read: "Why do the sows in Dongshi howl in the middle of the night?"

"Why did the cow in the middle of the night enter the old Wang's house next door?"

"Why did the widow in West Market die tragically on the street in the middle of the night? Is it a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality?"

"......"

These messy things are so eye-catching, and the familiarity in them makes him more convinced that that person is back, and he can't find another person except Qin Shou to play with the news.

Originally, he had already strictly controlled the news about Fangshi, but now he found that he couldn't control it at all.

Chu Suiliang's eyes were also very unkind, "My lord, why has His Majesty been avoiding you?"

Changsun Wuji gritted his teeth, why?

I really misjudged this nephew, he looks honest and honest, but in fact he has more things in his heart than Cheng Qian and Li Tai.

He turned his head and asked Chu Suiliang, "What about those in Shandong?"

Chu Suiliang: "Those families can't take action in this matter. Although they are consistent with us in dealing with Qin Shou, once they help us in the court, I'm afraid it will backfire."

The various tribes of Guanlong and the high families of the family are on the opposite side of the court. As the emperor, Li Zhi also hopes that they will stand on the opposite side and balance each other. If the two stand together, Li Zhi will suppress Guanlong's lineage. I'm afraid it will be more determined.

.......

As the matter fermented, more and more officials wrote to impeach Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang, and each crime was listed.

The number of people involved in the Guanlong lineage is also increasing, from less than ten people in the past to more than 20 people now.

The names of those involved were also circulated.

Li Zhi "went into a rage" during the court meeting, and overturned the memorials on the case in front of the princes.

Order Changsun Wuji and Chu Suiliang to put down everything in their hands and strictly investigate these cases.

Before the princes objected, they made excuses to feel unwell.

"next court"

Someone among the ministers suddenly stood up

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty?"

But Li Zhi left without looking back.

"My lord, this..." Chu Suiliang looked gloomy at the direction where Li Zhi disappeared, and complained to Changsun Wuji.

Changsun Wuji sighed lightly and said, "Is this going to take power?"

"Alright, since he thinks he can control it, let him try it himself."

Chu Suiliang was stunned for a moment, and doubts flashed in his eyes: "No, what does your lord mean?"

Immediately, he seemed to understand a little bit, "My lord, what you said...is it too risky?"

Changsun Wuji said in a calm tone, "It's not that we want to take risks. You have also seen the current situation. At this time, it is a way to retreat instead of advance. As long as the twelve guards are in our hands, there will be no worries."

"Whether I'm in court or not, things are the same."

.......

Inside the palace

Li Zhi came to the bedroom where Wu Mei lived

There were some pastries on the table, Li Zhi glanced at them, but did not move, with a strange expression on his face.

Wu Mei's movements did not hesitate at all, she picked up a piece and put it in her mouth. Those pastries that were stained with apple seeds had been thrown away long ago, even those utensils were all destroyed.

Because the goal has been achieved, I learned from Concubine Xiao Shu that Li Zhi's health is no longer good...

Seeing Wu Mei like this, Li Zhi finally said with a relaxed expression: "Today, I asked my uncle to investigate their lineage's corruption and perverting the law, so their influence in the court will definitely be affected... ..”

Wu Mei didn't speak, but just listened quietly.

Li Zhi didn't sit here for a long time, he had a splitting headache, and with the support of the eunuch, he went back to his bedroom.

......

On Lu Guogong's mansion

Li Daozong and Yuchi Jingde came again, looking straight at Cheng Yaojin, "Old Cheng, do you know something?"

Cheng Yaojin shook his head, expressing that he didn't know anything, and at the same time he slandered in his heart, knowing that he would not tell the two of you.

Yuchi Jingde swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked with disbelief in his eyes: "Old minister, we are old friends, you should tell us the truth!"

"For so many years, other people don't know, but I know that you and Si Ni are on the same level. This time, you can't patronize yourself, no matter how many old brothers you have."

Yuchi Jingde's face was dark, and he looked at Lao Cheng with sideways eyes, as if he had no intention of giving up.

Li Daozong also looked at Cheng Yaojin with scorching eyes, agreeing with Yuchi Jingde's words in his heart. For so many years, several other ministers who followed His Majesty's army had a good end, but Cheng Yaojin was the only one who pulled the scorpion. Shit, the most comfortable life ever.

Now that the chaos in the court is not only related to themselves, but also related to the future of their children and grandchildren, they thought about it, and the last thing they thought of was Lao Cheng.

Lao Cheng took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, spread his hands and said, "I can't take care of myself now, what's the use of you looking for me?"

Yuchi Jingde and Li Daozong's faces were so ugly that they didn't speak for a long while.

Cheng Yaojin looked at the two old friends from time to time, pondered for a while, and asked, "Have you ever thought about what happens if there is a change in the Tang Dynasty?"

Ok?

Yuchi Jingde suddenly raised his head, "Sit with someone else?"

Immediately, he shook his head, "Impossible, absolutely impossible, King Jin has not been on the throne for a long time, how could he be replaced by someone else, besides, he has no heirs now, old Cheng, you can't joke about it."

Li Daozong couldn't help shaking his head, "How can it be possible to change the country of our Li Tang royal family?"

Cheng Yaojin clenched his fists, then let go, and suddenly sighed, "I heard that on the day your Majesty fell ill, a little palace lady disappeared. Someone once ran into this little palace lady and talked to her. My head is sweating profusely, and I can't speak smoothly..."

I didn't say anything further, but from the bottom of my heart, I certainly hope that the Li Tang royal family will continue to sit in the country. After all, I followed the country that His Majesty took half his life to conquer.

But His Majesty is so ill for no apparent reason, and the news from his own people seems to have something to do with Li Zhi, how can this make him feel better?

There is another reason, the youngest Cheng Chubi is still in Liaodong, and seeing Li Zhi's handling of Liaodong soldiers now makes him feel chills.

The last reason, which he didn't disclose, is that Qin Shou has returned to Chang'an, and when he comes back, is there any delay in this matter?

Yuchi Jingde's eyeballs froze for a moment, lowered his voice and asked, "You mean...there is something wrong with His Majesty's illness?"

Li Daozong's eyes also looked at Cheng Yaojin in horror.

Cheng Yaojin rubbed his brows, and told the two of them what he had heard, and what he had investigated, but nothing specific.

But the traces of the manipulation behind this are too obvious. Not only did the little maid disappear, but all the information about the little palace lady has been lost, and even the female officer in charge of the little palace lady disappeared afterwards... And there must be a relationship between the two.

Yuchi Jingde and Li Daozong opened their mouths, listening to Cheng Yaojin telling the details in shock, their minds buzzing.

I dare not think that this is true, my scalp is numb.

Li Daozong: "Tomorrow I will go into the palace to see the situation..."

Cheng Yaojin wanted to shake his head, "It's better not to go. Although you are a descendant of the clan, your identity is sensitive. If you can go, I'm afraid it will arouse suspicion."

The air became gloomy, and no one spoke anymore.

.......

Restaurant, Qingcuiju

Li Yifu and some officials gathered for dinner and discussed the next strategy.

An official said to Li Yifu with a smile: "Lord Li, I heard that His Majesty is going to promote you to be a servant. This is the third rank!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Li. After the Minister, you will be the Minister. From then on, the three provinces and six departments will have the seat of Mr. Li. Don't forget to take care of me when the time comes..."

Several people in the field all toasted and congratulated, no one would have imagined that Li Yifu, who was not even a fifth-rank at the beginning, would now suddenly become a third-rank.

Many of them had a higher official rank than Li Yifu before, but now their tone is a bit sour.

Li Yifu also raised his glass and drank it down, "Congratulations, everyone, this time a batch of officials from various ethnic groups in Guanlong will go down, but there will be a lot of seats vacant!"

After eating and drinking for a while, an official said with a smile: "Since Your Majesty ascended the throne, the grandson Chong Chu Suiliang and others have controlled the court, and everything has to be approved by them. Now it is finally clear."

"It's all thanks to Lord Li!" an official raised his glass.
