Crown Tang emperor

I'm not even targeting you, since you know that your boss is a waste, work harder and make him stand up!If you don't make room for him, I'll come back another day to find fault!

Hearing Li Tong's words, Zheng Gao and the others all had strange expressions on their faces, it was really difficult to answer.It's not like they don't know that their boss is useless, but it's really hard to say it.

But at this moment, Wu Sansi, who had been hiding in the official hall without showing his face, finally couldn't hold back when he heard this. He strode out of the official hall, stood on the steps, pointed at Li Tong and said angrily: "Shut up, madman! Cao Wu, are you a mere bureaucrat who can talk about it? What is the simplicity? Based on your nonsense, I will listen to the heavens and punish the slip of the tongue!"

Seeing this guy's anxious eyes, Li Tong naturally became happy, cupped his hands upwards, and said with a smile: "In that case, may I ask the king, when did "Chui Gong Style", "Chui Gong Liu Sige" and "Chui Gong Xinge" be published? ? How many volumes of Chen Shi?"

After Wu Sansi heard the words, his expression froze for a moment, and his eyes flashed after a while, as if he had caught Li Tong's painful foot, and his tone became even more high-pitched: "Now that the Holy Emperor is in power, the Zhou Dynasty is in the new era, and the old nobles have become vulgar, but they still need to speak loudly." Chui Gong's story, what kind of mind do you have!"

When Li Tong heard this, he immediately looked at Wu Sansi with an expression of looking at a fool. He really didn't know if he didn't try it. A try would reveal how ignorant this guy is, but his face straightened and he clasped his fists again. Said: "Your Majesty's words are very good. In the new era of the Great Zhou Dynasty, all things will be renewed. It is really inappropriate to push the old style with all kinds of things. In the future, if you go to the court, you must obey the words of your majesty in a lowly position. The chapter will be enacted, and I will ask you affectionately."

Hearing what he said, Wu Sansi felt that he had caught him, so he still sneered and said, "It doesn't matter what the old things are, if you use the old form to ask new things about the new ones, you have made mistakes this time, and you will never expose them easily. Now Immediately withdraw from the government office, and if you misunderstand me, you will be more guilty!"

"Teach from a humble position, leave from a humble position!"

Li Tong arched his hands, then looked at Wu Sansi and mouthed "stupid...beep" silently, then waved his hands and led the crowd to withdraw from the Shangshu Tianguan Office.

Chasing people away with a few words, Wu Sansi had a sense of heroism in his heart, but recalling Li Tong's expression when he left, it didn't seem like he was frustrated. He looked at Zheng Gao uncertainly and asked, "What does he mean?"

Zheng Gao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, if that person does what he says, you will understand what it means tomorrow morning.

Chapter 0337 Ting Shen played the matter and directly impeached the Prime Minister

Li Tong got up early the next day, crossed the Tianjin Bridge with high spirits, and came to Duanmen.

Wu Sansi had already come here ahead of time, seeing Li Tong coming, he didn't care about being reserved, he hurried forward and said in a concentrated voice: "It's an ordinary matter, are you really going to make a fuss?"

"If you are a humble official, you must report the case to the king in detail."

Li Tong was overjoyed when he heard this, why, did he know that he was an idiot?It's a pity, you can't control me!

Wu Sansi was willing to lower his head and ask the last question. He was already very reluctant. Hearing Li Tong's answer, his face darkened again, and then he sneered: "If that's the case, then you should also prepare for impeachment!"

Naturally, Li Tong is not afraid of Wu Sansi's threat, I let you half-open your teeth, and still bite you with black and blue bruises.

Duanmen opened, and the ministers entered the court. When passing Zetianmen, Prime Minister Cui Yuanzong stepped forward, with a confused look on his face: "Can Xunqing take the place of Zhiyatang today?"

When Li Tong heard this, he was a little upset, and wouldn't let Lao Tzu go up?You are afraid of things, but I am not!

In addition to him, there is another person who is not afraid of trouble.Prime Minister Li Zhaode came here, looked at the two of them, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Tong didn't answer, but just looked at Cui Yuanzong.Cui Yuanzong shook his head in embarrassment, and stepped aside.

Li Zhaode smiled and nodded to Li Tong, and whispered: "If Luantai doesn't allow you, you can enter Fengge Pavilion."

Li Tong raised his hand to thank him, but he didn't take this seriously in his heart.This guy Li Zhaode is also a shit-stirring stick, if you really want to get too close to him, it will be difficult for Li Tong not to get excited, and his grandma will never arrange the two sticks together.

The courtiers walked up to the hall, and after prostrating, they were divided into classes, while Li Tong stood in the worship class, watching the court discussions with peace of mind.

Finally, after the daily procedure was finished, Li Tong stepped out of the class without waiting for the senior officials to sing the order, raised his hands above his head and said loudly: "Chen Luantai is playing for Zhong Baoyu."

Wu Zetian in the hall saw Li Tong rushing out of the class, a trace of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he raised his hand to signal, "I will make a preface."

Because he was worried that his grandma would pick up his words in advance, Li Tong spoke directly in the hall, walked out of the train and entered the hall, and saluted again in the eyes of the officials or expecting or resenting, and then said: "The minister's work was framed in the old year, and it is still used in the new era. Many are outdated and out of date. It is inconvenient to use all kinds of things. The case is superficial, and the reasoning cannot be realistic..."

Hearing what Li Tong said was the matter, Wu Zetian listened with peace of mind.

The order of format is a convenient way to use everything in one place, and it has a strong immediacy.When the vertical arch format was compiled, it was the most tense moment of the Wu Zhou Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty. It is indeed a bit out of date to use it to this day.But these words should not be said by Wu Sansi.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Tong changed his tone, the topic became sharper: "Majesty Chen, ask about your fault. I impeached King Wei, Te Jin, former Wenchang Zuoxiang heir, King Jianchang, Shangshu Dongguan, and Qian Nayan. You Ning, the local official Shangshu, the former Fengge servant, and the Tongping Zhangshi Yang Zhirou, these three are the relatives of the country and lead the country, but they are indifferent and negligent in politics. Do everything you can, don't take your time..."

When Wu Zetian heard this, he coughed dryly twice, his face became a little unnatural, and his brows were slightly frowned.

As for the few people who were named in the train, their faces became ugly.Yang Zhirou stared at Li Tong's back with a look of resentment, I usually treat you well, if you play with the Wu family, you will play with the Wu family, what are you doing with me!

While Li Tong was speaking, he looked at Wu Sansi who was in the train again, nodded seriously, and then continued: "I have been generously endowed by your lord, and I can use my wits to make things happen. I can't do everything in a small way. A few days ago The copying of the Shangshu Tianguan's melody violated the format, and I went to the province to inquire, and got Liang Wang and Tianguan's servant to think twice, and then realized that the Zhou Dynasty was reformed, and all orders were changed. Cao's affairs were appropriate and inevitably violated the rules. .”

"The prime minister is the head of the clothes, and the ministers set an example. Once the government is neglected, the harm will be particularly serious. What the ministers see and say is still on the table. Liang Wang has been in charge of provincial Cao for a long time, and he must be more anxious. Therefore, the ministers are all painful and speak from the bottom of their hearts. Your Majesty invites the King of Liang to come out of the class and secondly discuss this melody, and explain the incident more, so that His Majesty will know more about the disadvantages of Baishiche falling into the old ruts and obsessed with bad rules."

After finishing speaking, he turned to look at Wu Sansi, and kept winking at him, come on, come on, you said it wasn't your fault, and I don't think it's your fault, let's complain together and ask for guilt!

Wu Sansi's face turned pale at this moment, and he could even feel his aunt's stern eyes constantly cruising over him. As for the mocking eyes of all the officials, they almost drowned him.

Wu Zetian is also in a bad mood at the moment, and the old format of Chui Gong has been used to this day. On the one hand, it is naturally because since the Tianshou Revolution, there have been constant disputes in the court and court, and there is no time and energy to promote a new format.

At the same time, there is another important reason, that is, in Wu Zetian's view, the content of the many rules and regulations involved in the adjudication of adverse cases needs to be maintained.Therefore, although the imperial court has called for a new format in recent years, Wu Zetian either ignored it or delayed it.

But now this matter has been exposed again, and they are still her two relatives and disciples, the younger one is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, and the older one is as stupid as a pig!

Among the people named by Li Tong, except for Wei Wang Wu Chengsi who did not participate in the court participation, the others had to go out to participate in the participation.And before the impeachers have finished speaking, they cannot speak out to defend themselves, otherwise the court will be noisy, and it will be no different from a farce in the market.

Li Tong's impeachment of these three people is not just casually. First, it is the prime minister's responsibility to introduce new formats. Second, from the Tianshou period to the present, the replacement of the prime minister in the Zhengshitang, until now, except for these three people , the rest of the exiles, exiles, and deaths, if they want to be held accountable, of course they can only be held accountable to these three people.

However, Li Tong's behavior was really stimulating. Playing three former prime ministers alone, this momentum is probably only comparable to that of Lai Junchen in his heyday.But even if it was Lai Junchen, he was not relentless in dealing with other prime ministers, and he did not dare to directly attack the prime ministers of the Wu family.

It can't be said that he participated alone, Li Tong still has a helper, and that is Liang Wang Wu Sansi.

Now that he was named and attracted the attention of the officials, Wu Sansi could only bite the bullet and come out, no matter how shameful and annoyed he was in his heart, he bowed and kowtowed again and said: "The minister has something to say, but so Speaking of this, there is a reason for the incident, and I dare not directly question the prime minister's fault..."

No matter how stupid he was, he didn't dare to repeat the old words in the court, so he could only say lightly: "Cao's affairs are careless, and he made many mistakes. It is not appropriate, and the minister is indeed guilty. But the minister who did not try the matter did not say enough, and directly questioned the prime minister's fault, which is also false reference!"

While speaking, he glared at Li Tong with resentment again.

After Wu Sansi finished speaking, Li Tong said Shi Shiran again: "The responsibility of the minister lies in the format and rules before the case is completed. If there is any violation, it must be corrected, otherwise the position will be useless. Therefore, to impeach the prime minister, It lies in the structure of the old year, and if it can be used for good things, there must be an unchanging Guizhang in it. The prime minister is incompetent, unable to judge the important and distinguish the light, and unable to keep the treasure and eliminate the disadvantages, so that the people who use all kinds of affairs are at a loss as to what to do. Among them, the cunning and the like, slandering old rules and denying them in general, because of a small loss, the whole self harms the public, if it is not severely punished, there will be no warning!"

I have been manipulated by you like a dog these days, you were stupid enough to be bitten by me, and you still want me to let go?Real men are going to do it head on, I'm going to hit ten of them, and I'll take you all in one litter!

Wu Zetian's expression flickered in the hall, and after a while he said in a deep voice: "This matter will take a long time to discuss, and it can't be resolved in a short period of time in the court. Let's stay in the political affairs hall for a long-term discussion, and everyone will go back to work."

Several people in the hall kowtowed and retired after hearing the words, and went back to work, but the atmosphere in the court hall became really subtle.

But these people had just returned to work, and another supervisory censor rushed out of the work, holding a badge in his hand and shouting: "Your minister has played, impeaching Luantai for Baoyu's madness, disrespect, and disorderly disputes. If you don't ask questions, and take matters into your own hands, you are really a power thief!"

Li Tong hadn't stood still when he returned to the train. When he heard someone calling him, he hurried back and trotted back. When he heard that the censor accused him of impeaching him, he felt a sense of pride in his heart. , Lao Tzu has also become a power minister who is good at power and fortune.

After the censor came out of duty, he first convicted Li Tong, and then recounted Li Tong's crimes from the beginning, such as entertaining his colleagues, expressing personal favors, splitting the case with the servant, etc.

This is not surprising, Fengge and Luantai control the Baisi, with such great power, of course there must be a sound supervision system.These two provinces can sit in the court, and Xiantai will naturally have a censor to monitor in their yatang hall. It is not surprising to know Li Tong's deeds since he joined the office.

The charges they arranged for Li Tong were deeply rooted in the essence of the "Luo Zhi Jing". It was not a big deal, nothing surprising, and they even directly impeached him for monopolizing power.However, Li Tong didn't know what Wu Sansi was thinking, even if you wanted to kill me, did you consider other people's feelings?

Sure enough, after the censor had finished speaking, without waiting for others to speak, Prime Minister Li Zhaode had already stepped out of the train, pointed at him with a halberd and said angrily, "You're making a bunch of gossip, exaggerating and inviting favor!"

A little one can be authoritarian and chaotic in everything. Where do you put Lao Tzu's prime ministers?If they really want to be convicted and sentenced to prison, wouldn't all the prime ministers in Zhengshitang have to take the blame and resign?

Therefore, not only Li Zhaode, but several other prime ministers also came out of duty one after another. Cui Yuanzong, who is the direct boss of Luantai, bowed down directly and bowed down: "Luantai saves trouble, and there are different divisions. It is only for Baoyu in the matter. Let us all see, those who are able work harder, this method of using talents is eternal! Hengban enshrined, all close to the courtiers, and good talents are used, which is different from the custom. Promotion to judges is only for the promotion of talents. Whether it is used indiscriminately, Naturally, it is deep in the king's heart, and the ministers have no shame in their duties, and respectfully wait for the Holy Judgment!"

Li Tong was still a little displeased with Cui Yuanzong's attitude towards him, but seeing that his boss was able to cover him at the critical moment, he was quite relieved for a while.

Wu Zetian in the hall also expressed his opinion in a deep voice: "The constitution uses things to do things. Although you have the right to gossip, if the matter involves the king's heart, you should avoid being a shadow of a snake. If you don't discuss this matter, you will retreat from the court!"

Chapter 0338 the Holy Emperor bestows words, be cautious

In the side hall of the West Upper Pavilion in the Forbidden Center, Li Tong was sitting on the mat, staring carefully at the bead curtain made of jade beads, chanting words.

Suddenly, the beaded curtain shook, as if a waterfall had been broken by a strong wind, and without heeling, Wei Tuan'er's charming and melancholy pretty face was revealed. After walking in, those beautiful eyes stared at Li Tong and called out softly: " Mr. Lang..."

Alas, there is no end to the count!

Li Tong raised his hand and rubbed the sore corners of his eyes with some sourness, stretched his waist, raised his eyes to Wei Tuan'er and asked, "Is His Majesty the Holy Emperor planning to see me?"

After the morning court, he was carried away to the prison, where he sat for a long time, but his grandma never saw him.

Of course, Li Tong also understood that his behavior this time must be very bad in the eyes of his grandmother, and it may have touched the bottom line of tolerance set by his grandmother in her heart.

After all, at the end of Wu Zhou Dynasty, the nephews of the Wu family were all important pawns for Wu Zetian to stabilize the court and balance the situation. This is a natural convenience brought by status, and cannot be replaced by other aspects.

However, Wu Sansi's big face came to his feet by himself, and it was too embarrassing for Li Tong not to lift his leg and kick him.

Wei Tuan'er stepped forward to support Li Tong, and quickly whispered: "Your Majesty must be careful when you answer later. Someone paid a private visit to the emperor's heir yesterday, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor was furious..."

Hearing this, Li Tong's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that his grandma was in a bad mood today, and it wasn't all because of him.It's no wonder that the dispute between him and Wu Sansi caused a lot of trouble in the imperial city yesterday. His grandma didn't seem to know it before she went to court, and it seemed that she had bigger worries.

Soon, Li Tong's heart moved again, looking at Wei Tuan'er, he solemnly ordered: "Don't go to the palace of His Royal Highness, stay away from the source of right and wrong!"

After hearing the words, Wei Tuan'er nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "I understand, I must not let the king be distracted!"

Hearing what Wei Tuan'er said, Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief, and then remembered the meaning of this variable.

In the original history, thanks to the efforts of a group of ministers headed by Li Zhaode, the situation of the succession struggle that had been fiercely fought since the Tianshou years has changed again. The most important thing is that the Wu clan's princes were dismissed, and the situation has improved.

But at the end of the year, the situation reversed. The Mingtang Festival directly arranged Wei Wang Wu Chengsi as the second sacrifice, Liang Wang Wu Sansi as the final sacrifice, and there was no role for the emperor's heir Li Dan.After a series of changes, the life of the emperor's heir, Li Dan, was even more hanging by a thread.

In this series of changes, Wei Tuan'er participated in it. Because of his false accusation, both Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De were killed, and even died without a place to bury them.

According to Li Tong's understanding of Wei Tuan'er, this silly elder sister really dared to participate in her previous temperament, but whether it was a false accusation is debatable.Li Tong had received the cold eyes of his fourth uncle's family in the Imperial Heir Palace, so he would not be surprised if Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De did such a thing.

It was a chain of events, and the fire was burning vigorously inside and outside the palace.

Outside the palace, there is the case of Empress Liu and Concubine Dou De's dislike of victory. Outside the palace, there is also the case of Concubine Dou De's mother, Pang, who committed witchcraft. At that time, it was reasoned that Pang and Concubine Dou were involved in the same case of witchcraft, and the Dou family begged Xu Yougong to save their lives.

And it was precisely this Xue Jichang who not only participated in the Shenlong Revolution to restore the Tang Dynasty, but also posthumously granted the title of Yushi doctor after Li Dan regained the throne.It can be seen that in this turmoil, Xue Jichang definitely did not deliberately harm the Dou family in order to cater to Wu Zetian, it is more likely that a strong man cut off his wrists and cut off dead branches.

Thinking about this, Li Tong didn't think that Empress Liu and the others deserved what they deserved, and Potian was just a futile self-help of the weak who faced the aggressive evil mother-in-law.Moreover, such things as witchcraft cannot be clearly explained at all. This crime was ambiguous and used exclusively for tricking people from the very beginning.

Now, Li Tong told Wei Tuan'er that he just didn't want himself and the people around him to be involved in this turmoil.

As for whether his fourth uncle's family is lucky or unlucky, he can only ask for luck.But having said that, no matter how severe the wind and rain, no matter how precarious his fourth uncle looked, the safety was much higher than their family.

With Wei Tuan'er's reminder, Li Tong also corrected his attitude and tried not to continue to offend his grandma at this critical moment.So he didn't take a few steps into the hall, he bent down and bowed down, walked forward on his knees and said in a deep voice: "Sinful Minister Baoyu, kowtow to His Majesty the Holy Emperor."

Wu Zetian was sitting silently in the hall, when she heard this, she sneered and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know what the crime is, but I have been waiting for a long time without a call. I must have annoyed the emperor. I feel terrified in my heart. How dare I be calm again."

When it's time to give in, you have to give in. Li Tong's posture is respectful, and he no longer has the domineering arrogance in the meeting.

Seeing this, Wu Zetian sneered, waved his hands and said in a slow tone: "Come to the case."

Li Tong cautiously leaned over, looked with his head, and saw a piece of white paper spread out on the imperial case, on which was written the word "Careful" in Feibai calligraphy. I saw that those craftsmen wrote much more beautifully. Although Fei Bai is just a small skill in calligraphy, the font still looks quite beautiful and interesting.

Wu Zetian looked down at Li Tong, raised her fingers to touch his forehead, and said in a low tone, "All the evils in the world make it impossible for you young people to be raised in peace. If you were born in an ordinary family, children with such beauty will How can there be a parent who is cruel and let it grow? It is comforting that the beauty is not abandoned, and the natural growth will not be shameful."

Li Tong was a little flustered when he heard his grandma's emotional tone, and didn't know how to react.

But at this moment Wu Zetian was still immersed in his own thoughts, and did not pay too much attention to his reaction. He raised his finger to point to the writing on the case and continued: "The young branch of the family, I am afraid that others will not be able to grow into a weapon. Only you Parents, but I am worried that you, a child, can be too sly and play with the world. I know that you still have a short time to reach the crown, but since you have already entered the business, you should have a standard of conduct. I will give you the words, and be cautious. Put it away Bar."

Wei Tuan'er stepped forward and rolled up the holy emperor's calligraphy and handed it to Li Tong, Li Tong raised both hands to take it, and said: "Your Majesty has painstakingly taught you, and I will remember it deeply in my heart, and I dare not act rashly again. "

"That's the best, go down to the hall for dinner, go to the other provinces to rest, don't miss tomorrow's business. I'm tired."

Wu Zetian waved his hands, somewhat dispirited.

Seeing this, Li Tong didn't dare to say anything more, and thanked Xie En to leave.He is not worried about his grandma's emotional problems. For such a person, depression is only short-term. After this period, more people will suffer because of their emotional changes.

Early the next morning, Li Tong didn't need to go to court, and walked into the main hall of Luantai early. He clearly felt that the officials of Luantai had different attitudes towards him, and became more respectful, even a little cautious.

As soon as he stepped into the official hall here, he saw that the officials had already arranged his table, the pens, inks and utensils were arranged meticulously, and there was another book that ordered Shi to walk forward with the file in his hand, and respectfully asked for instructions: "Give me a favor, The transcripts of the various divisions are recorded here, and after the matter has been reviewed, the cases can be sorted out."

It is supposed to be the power of the minister's servant to distribute the daily affairs of the province.Li Tong naturally didn't have such treatment before, so he could only pick up some trivial matters after others picked them up.

However, Wu Sansi in the court yesterday ordered the censor to participate in his attempt to seize power, but instead gave him the rationality to seize power. Even the Chief Cui Yuanzong expressed his opinion that he should be promoted to use his case for such a good talent.

So no matter how these Luantai officials feel, they have to acquiesce in the fact that others are doing things, but he is doing things.

For such treatment, Li Tong accepted it calmly, after all, he earned it through his own hard work.He took the dossier and glanced at it in a hurry, approved it casually, and then distributed the memorials to each case. Of course, some Cao Si's memorials that were interested were left for him to conduct the trial himself.

After retiring from the court, Prime Minister Cui Yuanzong returned to other provinces to inspect various cases, and he was somewhat satisfied when he saw that the provincial affairs had been operated in an orderly manner.He purposely walked over to Li Tong's desk and said a few words of encouragement, but there was still some unsatisfactory expression in his expression, he hesitated for a moment, and finally turned around and returned to the Political Affairs Hall without saying anything.

Of course Li Tong understood what Cui Yuanzong was worried about.Not long after Cui Yuanzong left, Fengge sent a letter to temporarily transfer him to serve as a counselor. It was written by Li Zhaode, Fengge's servant, and his tone was very enthusiastic. A few goods.

Of course Li Tong won't go, he was just praised by his grandmother last night, and now his name is Wu Shenzhi, if he really wants to go crazy, then Wu Zuo is dead.He is only responsible for ignition, not for the aftermath.

Even without Li Tong's participation in the follow-up, the Wu family sold themselves, and there was a lot of room for maneuver, and the Wu family did not fall behind.Wu Sansi, who was the first to bear the brunt, was transferred from the Minister of Tianguan to the Secretary of State, even Zong Zhengqing, probably because he wanted to lose face and only lose face within his own family.

Wu Chengsi had already been taken out of the court, but he was not affected.And Wu Youning's Dongguan Shangshu was also dismissed, and then he was transferred to General Yubayashi to take charge of the Beiya Imperial Army.The only Yang Zhirou who was affected was miserable, and was directly relegated to the governor of other states, but he didn't make it, it is said that he was ill.

On the surface, the situation is naturally very good. With Li Tong's attack this time, the ministers swept away all the real power figures of the Wu family in the southern province like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.But Li Tong understood that a new undercurrent was brewing, and once it broke out, it would be turbulent and unstoppable.

The undercurrent erupted very quickly. A few days later, two imperial orders were placed on Luantai's desk. One was to send the censor to Xijing to continue to investigate the bandits in Xijing, and to have the censor Xue Jichang executed.The other is to transfer Lai Junchen, who was exiled in Jiangzhou, to Tongzhou to join the army.

Looking at these two edicts, Li Tong just wanted to chop off his own hands, so that you can take power in your spare time!

Chapter 0339 Feng Huan imperial book, specializing in Yunshao

The reason why Li Tong was in trouble was that these two edicts were out-and-out random orders. He either learned his intentions and let them go, or he fulfilled his duties and refused them.

First of all, Xue Jichang, who has two envoys for one thing, even if the former envoy is incompetent, he must be brought back to the capital for trial, and it would be against the law to be executed on the spot.

The reason why there are such regulations is because the situation in each place is different, and the past is not forgotten, and the future is a guide. With the previous lessons, the imperial court can send envoys more targeted.

The second is Lai Junchen, whose trial of crime has already come true.As a result, not long after leaving the capital, he was pardoned and transferred again, which is impossible to quote.It's not about pardoning each other, nor is it about shifting things according to circumstances. If you really want to do this, the imperial court's punishment will become a plaything of its own!
