Crown Tang emperor

Seeing this, Li Tong ignored the others, walked up to Wang Shaozong, and said with a smile, "What kind of human affairs can disturb Wang Cheng's demeanor?"

Seeing the King of Hedong walking in, Wang Shaozong's face softened a little, but he was still a little angry when he walked in front of the king.

Before Wang Shaozong could explain, a tall, thin middle-aged man wearing a dark green official robe appeared among the officials of Suzhengtai. He walked up to Li Tong, stood on Wang Shaozong's left side and cupped his hands and said, "Humble class!" As a newcomer to Xiantai, the Procuratorate inspector came to Zixun to pay homage to the king."

Li Tong was taken aback when he heard that the person claimed his name.He was just talking about Lai Junchen who didn't know where he was, but he didn't expect to turn around and see a family member of Lai Junchen.

However, Lai Zixun and Lai Junchen have the same surname, and they have nothing to do with each other, but it doesn't mean that this guy is a weak stubble. When he is proud, he is even a bit more popular than Lai Junchen.

During the Wu Zhou Revolution, several courtiers gave the surname Wu because of the favor of the holy family, including this Lai Zixun.

Putting aside these historical knowledge, Li Tong has also heard about this Lai Zixun. He is from Chang'an, so he was able to enter the Eastern Capital to serve as the supervisory censor. So being dismissed has a lot to do with this person.

Although it was rumored that Ge Fuyuan's worship had a lot to do with his family, Li Tong knew what was going on, it was just his grandma's adjustment of power, so he didn't pay much attention to Ge Fuyuan's dismissal.

After thinking for a while, Li Tong just glanced at Zixun, then turned to Wang Shaozong and asked, "What's going on?"

"Reporting to the King, the reason is simple. The Xiantai has been noisy recently, the visitors have little foothold, and those who are directly involved are even more disturbed. Presumably the King has seen it when he passed by. The house is really insufficient. For Kuangsu's plan, it is urgent to find another one. Expansion of the idle house. The chief judge of Lintai is vacant, so..."

It was Zixun who came to speak first, and before the person finished speaking, Li Tong had already heard the meaning, turned his gaze back to the person, and said coldly: "I asked you?"

Lai Zixun's face froze for a moment, and then he became excited, opened his mouth and shouted: "I am humbled and respectful, how can your majesty..."

Li Tong stepped back, and gestured to Yang Sixuan in a blink of an eye: "Teach him, what is worship!"

Hearing this, Yang Sixuan stepped forward and kicked Lai Zixun's knee. Lai Zixun was caught off guard and knelt down on the ground with his hands on the ground before struggling to get up, but Yang Sixuan grabbed the back of his neck and slammed his forehead hard. He fell to the ground, and said with a sneer: "Raise your hands in worship, and the head of the Guizhou is not hanging down. Where is this worship?"

Lai Zixun struggled and couldn't speak. The other Xiantai officials saw this, and their expressions suddenly changed. Some people retreated secretly and wanted to go out to ask for help. Let go!"

There were quite a lot of people from Lintai around the Zhitang, and they were quite indignant at the provocative behavior of Xiantai coming to the door. Now, when they heard the young king's order, they were naturally not polite, and stepped forward to pull the fleeing people back. What's more, they directly closed the gate of Lintai official residence, as if they were going to close the gate and beat the dog.

"I am His Majesty the Divine Emperor's praise and outspoken counselor, how can the king do this humiliation!"

Lai Zixun was pressed to the ground like a dead dog, and although he was still struggling, he couldn't break free from Yang Sixuan's iron arms.

After hearing this, Li Tong sneered even more.He didn't doubt the veracity of this statement, he could tell just by looking at the color of his official robes, the eighth-rank uniform of the supervisory censor, even if Cheng En borrowed color to give it to him, it was often only one rank higher, but Lai Zixun could do it Putting on the sixth-grade dark green toad skin, it can be seen that it is indeed very red.

But if you love yours, I love mine, and we don't offend each other.I'm already so popular, I don't want to go to your Xiantai for a walk, but you are so arrogant that you want to occupy my office!

Li Tong didn't bother to talk to Zixun, waved his hands and said, "Temporarily detain these arrogant people."

The subordinates of Lintai stepped forward again, and noisily pushed Lai Zixun and others who came to find fault into the side corridor of the straight hall.At this time, Shaozong, the prime minister of Lintai, stepped forward and sighed: "The chief supervisor has been in charge of the museum for a long time, and Shaojian Xue is hard to see day and night. If the king hadn't returned to the hall today, there would be no quietness in Lintai."

Li Tong also had a bit of a headache when he heard this. Lintai's place was pure and noble, and there were five people and six people, but there was no one reliable, and he had to rely on him to stand out when he was bullied.He used to think that he was an immovable pig teammate, but now it seems that he has fallen into a pig's nest.

"Quickly send someone to report this matter to the superintendent. Wang Cheng and others quickly searched through all the classics of the Baishi ceremony, and discussed in detail that Xiantai's trip was against the law and etiquette. I hurriedly made a statement, and I will submit it to the emperor!"

While talking, Li Tong walked into the straight hall and sat down, and said: "The reason why people come to humiliate people is only in Lintai. If this dispute is still behind Xiantai, the reason is not up to me. "

After Wang Shaozong and the others heard this, they suddenly came to their senses, and quickly nodded their heads, and then they got together to discuss in the straight hall.

Lintai's pens were not useless, and he expressed his indignation on the pen, and soon a magnificent essay was written.Li Tong took it over and glanced at it, and didn't look carefully at the scriptures quoted in it. He just waited for the ink to dry, rolled it up, and left. Before he left, he didn't forget to order: "Anyone who has filed a lawsuit in Xiantai, no matter who it is, is not allowed to take anyone away! Yang Zhixian is no exception!"

After he finished speaking, he hurried out, just as he walked out of the Lintai official office, he saw Yang Zaisi coming out from the next door.After seeing the young king, Yang Zaisi quickened his pace and yelled that Li Tong would not wait for him, so he raised his legs and ran west.

Seeing this scene, Yang Zaisi was also taken aback for a while, but when he saw the young king holding the scroll in his hand, he was startled again, waved his hands and shouted: "Your Majesty, please stay, please stay..."

I don't want to stay here. Competing with you group of professional leveragers, the comparison is that your legs are fast and your mouth is fast. If you have the ability, you chase me!

Li Tong groaned, his footsteps were quicker, and he rushed out of the first cross alley without turning his heels. He was afraid that Yang Zaisi would take a shortcut and enter the palace, so he told Yang Sixuan: "Go and watch at the gate of heaven. Tell him to wait for me at the Introspection Political Affairs Hall!"

Yang Sixu took the order to go, while Li Tong took his little golden tortoise, which was able to travel freely in the imperial city and the forbidden area, and after entering the palace, the gate supervisor led him to the Hall of Renshou in the northwest corner of the Ming Hall.

Chapter 0204 Don't Anyone Mess With Me

Empress Wu Zetian was reviewing the official affairs hall in the Hall of Renshou and sorting out the matter book today. Wenchang Right Minister Wu Chengsi and Chunguan Shangshu Fan Lubing were present for questions.

Listening to the Zhongguan telling the King of Hedong to go and return, Wu Zetian knew that this grandson knew how to measure and would not rush to ask for interruption, so he put down the pen in his hand and played a chapter, asking the Zhongguan to summon the King of Hedong immediately to the palace.

Seeing this scene, the two prime ministers in the hall were different.

A trace of jealousy flashed in Wu Chengsi's eyes. He is now the six ministers and the prime minister of the political affairs hall in public, and the head of the Wu family in private. He is the most loyal supporter of the emperor. Wait for a while.But the young king was able to go straight to the palace, which inevitably made him feel a little uncomfortable.

As for Fan Lubing, his eyes flickered faintly, quite complicated.

Li Tong walked up to the palace, first made a greeting, then nodded to the two prime ministers, and stopped making vain greetings, and briefly described the matter of the supervisory censor Lai Zixundeng Office forcibly occupying the idle houses of Lintai officials , And respectfully submitted the memorial written by Wang Shaozong and others: "I am full of anger, and I can't speak to the depth. All the people in Lintai write and argue, panic like a lonely lamb. The people of Taiwan must have a foothold!"

"Is there such a thing?"

After receiving the memorandum presented by the Zhongguan, Wu Zetian didn't go through it carefully, but turned to the two prime ministers in the hall and asked, "Does the Zhengshitang know about this?"

Both of them left the table, shaking their heads in a daze. Among them, Fan Lubing took a step forward and said: "Every department has its own appointments. The affairs may be simple or complicated, public or hidden. I have to check them out. I invite you to call Zuo Tai Yang Zaisi ascends the palace and discusses it at the same time."

"Fan Qing speaks impartially, those who don't know, don't make false remarks."

Hearing this, Wu Zetian smiled slightly, and didn't mention summoning Yang Zaisi, just lowered his head and read the Lintai Memorial. After reading it, his face gradually turned gloomy, and then he raised his head and pointed at Wu Chengsi with a little anger: "Although the various divisions are in charge of their own affairs, the Zhengshitang is in charge of coordinating and coordinating. If you don't know everything and don't ask about everything, what are you doing?"

While speaking, she had already raised her hand to clap on the desk.Seeing this, Wu Chengsi quickly bowed down to apologize.When he bowed down, Fan Lubing's face became a little ugly, and he could only slowly kneel down on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Li Tong was even more happy.He had no contact with Fan Lubing, but the old gentleman looked down on him, and he could feel it.The eagerness to call Yang Zaisi into the palace to tell the story is nothing more than worrying about being spoiled by favor.

But from this point, it can be seen that the two sides are not on the same side. As for Fan Lubing, the old Beimen bachelor, whether he leans towards his third uncle or fourth uncle in terms of political stance, he can't guess.

After all, he has not been an official for a long time, so it is difficult to find out the relationship between the ruling and the wild. What is certain is that the other party must not understand him, a prodigal son who has forgotten his ancestors.

From this point, Li Tong also felt more clearly that the Bachelor of the North Gate that his grandmother had relied on in the past has really fallen apart and is no longer usable. This is really good news for him.

Wu Zetian was furious, and then pointed to Fan Lubing and said, "Go back to the Zhengshitang quickly, and gather the two supervisors to discuss this matter."

Fan Lubing took the order to leave, but before he left the hall, he looked at Wu Chengsi and King Hedong in the hall, knowing that what was discussed in the political affairs hall was meaningless, and the emperor had already made a decision by sending him away. Forbidden attitude.

Seeing Fan Lubing leave, Li Tong hastily bowed down again and said: "Your experience is shallow, you are young and energetic. When you first encounter difficulties with personnel, you will lose your position. You will always appeal to the heaven with trivial matters. You don't know how to present them in order. Meng Lang forgets his form and treats you respectfully." His Majesty's training."

After Wu Zetian heard the words, his complexion improved a little, and he said to him: "At your age, you are ignorant of things, and you are provoked by others. In a hurry, you don't ask the king's parents, let alone who? Although it is a mistake to go forward directly , but it is also within the emergency of human affairs. If you don't even have this little protection, why bother to teach you."

Wu Chengsi, who was kneeling on the other side, felt even more sour when he heard this heartwarming comfort, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

But even if he didn't speak, Wu Zetian didn't let him go, and looked at this nephew in a blink of an eye, with a slightly displeased expression: "The constitutional terraces and houses are useless, Xingxian's laws and regulations are all troubled, and the Suzheng performance will inevitably be affected. Ordinary matter? You waited for the minister to ignore this kind of matter, is this negligence of duty?"

When Wu Chengsi heard this, he quickly kowtowed again to plead guilty.He was in charge of the six departments of Wenchang Province. He was already busy with various affairs, and he was also busy with making arrangements for the establishment. How could he have the leisure and energy to ask those censors in Jiasai where they should work.

What's more, he already felt in his heart that Su Zhengtai's matter was not wrong.All the ministers of the outer court have their own duties, but Lintai is the only one that is famous. It occupies so many official buildings but few people work. What's the big deal about dividing part of it to the neighboring Xiantai?

But seeing that the Divine Emperor didn't seem to be planning to let it go, even if he had any thoughts in his heart, he didn't dare to say it.

"Needless to say too much nonsense, how to properly handle this matter, do you have a plan in mind?"

Wu Zetian waved his hand to interrupt Wu Chengsi's words, and then asked again.

When Wu Chengsi heard this question, he was silent for a while, he didn't have much talent in the first place, but when faced with this question suddenly, how could he have any opinions.

Wu Zetian waited for a while, saw that Wu Chengsi was just hesitating, sighed, then raised the Nalin Terrace to play the book, and read slowly: "In the old years of Zhenguan, the west of Chang'an has been in disrepair for a long time, and there are no verandahs in the capital. Due to the disadvantages of the times, because the Xiantai is enshrined and recruited, surrounded by the imperial palace...do you understand?"

Not to mention whether Wu Chengsi understood or not, after hearing this, Li Tong understood his grandma's intention: since the outer Xiantai official house is too small and difficult to use, let the inner enshrined censor expand it!

Li Tong came all the way to complain to his grandma, but he didn't really read the memorabilia written by Wang Shaozong and others very carefully, but seeing that his grandma seemed to be inspired by this memoir, he couldn't help cursing those old guys in Lintai secretly. It's really bad, it means that you can't bear the suffering alone, but you have to share it with others!

All the officials of the foreign court don't like the official censor.Especially since the emperor came to court, he relied on Suzhengtai to set up several unjust prisons, which made people feel resentful towards Suzhengtai.

Now that Taizong's old affairs are played on the Lintai, Wu Zetian has more legal evidence, and can expand the team of officials more legitimately: Don't think I'm fooling around, your Emperor Taizong did it!

Wang Shaozong and others quoted the past, but they were actually helpless.Now there is a young king standing at the front to challenge Xiantai to invade, but the emperor's reliance on Suzhengtai's officials is also an irreversible thing. In order to prevent Lintai from being invaded again, I can only make this suggestion to express that they do not It's not that they resist the expansion of Suzhengtai, it's just that the direction of Suzhengtai's expansion is wrong.

Leaving aside the intentions of Wang Shaozong and others, Li Tong presented this seal, and his crime of aiding evildoers was considered more substantiated.

Hearing the divine emperor's direct instructions, Wu Chengsi finally came to his senses, nodded repeatedly and said, "Since the old style is like this, it is expedient to add staff to the internal offerings!"

Seeing Wu Chengsi's appearance as if he had just woken up from a dream, Li Tong couldn't complain.

Although he had long felt that the Wu family's governing ability was mediocre, he hadn't seen it with his own eyes before, and now he saw his grandma teaching this nephew like a grandson... I can't say that, it's hard for others to say, at least his grandson is full of bad things He can be full of calculations without his grandma's persuasive instructions.

Seeing Wu Chengsi's comprehension, Wu Zetian looked at Li Tong again and said with a smile: "Xiantai is built inside for worship, without disturbing Lintai. Is the king satisfied with such a result?"

Of course I was not satisfied, I was sweating all the way, but I was still used as a gunman!

Li Tong murmured in his heart, bowed down again and said, "The minister's heart is small, how dare he presumptuously rule the state. But if he can list his order and perform his duties, even if the minister has no merits, he dares to boast The government of Qingming. With this in mind, I dared to forget myself for a while. Before entering the performance, in a hurry, I first executed several members of the criminal department and detained them in the dormitory. I have only felt palpitations until now. Lintai is not a punishment, how can I confine the officials body. The crime lies with the little minister, and those who have nothing to do with it, I implore your majesty to commit the crime and not harm the innocent idlers in Lintai..."

When Wu Zetian heard this, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes.The young king's reaction was so intense, which made her feel a little difficult.Lintai speaks, so that she has to have something to say and continue to expand the team of Xiantai's speech officials, so it is not easy to convict her.However, it was too much for the young king to directly detain the offending censor in Lintai.

In particular, Lai Zixun, the supervisory censor who committed the crime, was deeply impressed by her repeated speeches. She was about to use him to continue to expose the hidden things left behind in Xijing. It would be a pity if she gave up.

After pondering for a while, Wu Zetian still made a quick decision, and said: "While adhering to the Suzheng Constitution, but first messed up the etiquette and provinces, and the professional talents are poor, it is a crime. The Xingsi asks for an arrest!"

After hearing this, Li Tong breathed a sigh of relief.Those ruthless officials are like mad dogs, and they will make trouble for no reason. It is really not a good thing to offend such people. If you can beat them to death with a stick, don't hold back.

The reason why Li Tong forcibly detained Lai Zixun was to create a situation of inconsistency and let his grandma make a choice.If you don't care about Lai Zixun's crime, he is guilty, even if the crime is not death, at least it is not easy to stay in Lintai.

Now that his grandma said Zixun was guilty, his detention was expedient.Undoubtedly, it showed an attitude, no one should easily provoke this little grandson, and the official censor has to weigh it!

It is certain that anyone who rapes a superior with his words will have many enemies. Once Zixun is brought into the case of the Sixing Temple, it will be difficult to come out with his whole body intact. Li Tong does not need to worry about this .

But besides that, Li Tong also realized that it was not enough to change Lintai's current situation.What he saw after entering the palace made him think of another idea, hoping to strengthen Lintai, especially his own authority and influence.

Chapter 0205

In the Fengge Inner Provincial Political Affairs Hall, Yang Zaisi, a doctor of Zuo Suzheng, sat in the side room under the corridor of the straight hall with an irritable face, frequently looking outside the door of the straight hall.

The person who stayed straight in the political affairs hall today was Prime Minister Yang Zhirou. Seeing Yang Zaisi's sudden appearance in the political affairs hall, he was already a little curious. tell?"

"Leave the humble job to others, and there is nothing to disturb. The public works on the case by himself, and there is no need to take care of the humble job."

Yang Zaisi still wanted to resolve the dispute with the young king in private, and he didn't want to publicize the matter, so he replied after hearing the words.

Hearing this answer, Yang Zhirou's expression darkened immediately: "The Zhengshitang is so important for entering and leaving the country, how can it be a trivial place for welcoming guests!"

"But please allow me a little convenience."

Hearing this, Yang Zaisi also showed a bit of embarrassment on his face, and then bowed his hands to salute, but Yang Zhirou had already walked away.

Yang Zaisi waited anxiously for a quarter of an hour, feeling a little bad in his heart, before going out, he wanted to ask when Yang Sixu and the young king who had guided him here would come, but found that Yang Sixu was no longer here, so naturally he was even more flustered and rushed He raised his legs and ran outside the political affairs hall.

Before he left the Zhengshi Hall, Chunguan Shangshu Fan Lubing had strode in. When he looked up and saw Yang Zaisi, his expression darkened: "Where does Xiantai want to go?"

"Humble job, I... King Hedong invited me..."

Yang Zaisi knew that Fan Lubing's qualifications and official authority were far superior to Yang Zhirou's, so he didn't dare to deal with it casually, so he could only answer vaguely.

However, before he finished speaking, Fan Lubing snorted coldly again: "Don't enter the speech hall before planning something, and don't ask to sue after the incident. The King of Hedong invited you? That king entered the Hall of Renshou as early as before and after his death! A gentleman can be deceived Fang, who is it that deceives fools?"

Seeing that Yang Zaisi's expression became more frightened, Fan Lubing's mood became worse, and he made no effort to hide his almost foolish contempt for Yang Zaisi. He paused and said, "You don't need to look at the person you are meeting with again. His Majesty the God Emperor wants me to come back to discuss this matter. You just stay here." Wait for Supervisor Shen!"

After he finished speaking, he ignored Yang Zaisi and walked straight to the Zhengshitang. On the way, he called an official of the Zhengshitang, and asked him to invite Cen Changqian, the internal historian, and Shen Junliang, the supervisor of Lintai, to enter the Zhengshitang.

Not to mention how Fan Lubing felt, Yang Zaisi saw his words like this, but under his submissive appearance, he was faintly relieved.

Among the hundreds of departments in the imperial court and Taiwan province, if it is said that the chief executive of one place is the most difficult to be, Suzhengtai is undoubtedly the first choice.

Supervising the officials at the Suzhengtai is not a job that can be popular. Those imperial historians are all thorns, and almost all have the power to directly appeal to the palace, and the political situation in recent years has been turbulent. Yunzhu, even the prime minister is often killed by words. Although the executive constitution is their direct superior, it does not have much deterrent effect.

Of course, the level of constitutional authority also varies from person to person. When encountering a person with deep prestige and a strong personality, those thorns in Suzhengtai would not dare to blatantly contradict the superior.Unfortunately, Yang Zaisi was not included.

Yang Zaisi's prestige is not very high. The only one who can be called Tianguanwailang in his previous positions is Tianguanwailang. His qualifications are very shallow, and he was not promoted in the system of speech officials and criminal justice, and his prestige in Zuotai is almost zero.

But Yang Zaisi is not useless, he was born in Hongnong Yang's original martial arts house, maybe not as close to the emperor as Prime Minister Yang Zhirou's Guan Wangfang, but he is also from a famous family.

Another point is that Yang Zaisi has no edges and corners, is kind to others, and is not impatient with anyone.

This time the supervisory censor came to Zixun to provoke Lintai, and naturally it was not at the behest of Yang Zaisi.For this new censor under his command, Yang Zaisi also felt a headache. He had suddenly ascended to the throne, and he was valued by the emperor, so he was quite defiant.

Fan Lubing ridiculed him for being fooled by others, but this is where Yang Zaisi's intelligence lies.He didn't want to offend Lai Zixun's subordinate, and he didn't dare to offend the young king, so when the matter got to the Emperor, he was relieved.If he really put on an attitude and reasoned with the young king face to face, it would be a situation he didn't want to face.

With this in mind, Yang Zaisi slowly walked into the political affairs hall. The two prime ministers in the hall, Fan Lubing, turned their heads and did not want to look at him, while Yang Zhirou nodded at him with an inexplicable smile. down.

Yang Zaisi didn't care how the prime ministers thought of him.He knew that his future was only in the hands of the Emperor of God, and right now the Emperor of God just needs an officer from Zuotai who has no edges and corners, and he has done a good job in this regard.

Not long after, Cen Changqian, the internal historian, and Shen Junliang, the supervisor of Lintai, arrived at the political affairs hall one after another.

As for Shen Junliang, he had a different look. After entering the hall, he glared at Yang Zaisi, and said angrily, "Where will the Lintai be placed by Zhi Xian's actions?"

Although Shen Junliang is usually an honest person, but this time he was really irritated. Although he did not intend to stay in Lintai, he is still here after all. His popularity is bound to suffer greatly, and then don't talk about seeking a chancellor again, I'm afraid Lintai will not be able to accommodate him anymore.

Faced with Shen Junliang's questioning, Yang Zaisi did not respond directly, but stood up and bowed to everyone in the hall, and said with a wry smile: "There is a shortage of Xiantai and Lushe, this matter has been appealed to the public a long time ago, and there has been no answer for a long time. However, it is imminent to enter the third courtyard, and the humble position is trapped by the work, so I beg you to teach me."

"Xiantai is useless, so they invade Lintai? Why do all the Nanya Offices need to be established together? Will the old man also bring Lintai people into Xiantai to serve as a writer in the future?"

Shen Junliang walked directly in front of Yang Zaisi, pointed at him and continued to question him angrily.

Yang Zaisi took a small step back, and the wry smile on his face deepened, not confronting Shen Junliang: "Shen Junliang's words are serious, why would you dare to think like this, even a few officials are still in Lintai. If you can solve the difficult problem properly , so it doesn’t matter if the junior prepares a banquet and then makes an apology.”

He kept retreating here and there, which made Yang Zhirou in the hall look down on him. Although he didn't think much of this fellow, but seeing Shen Junliang, a southerner, pointing at Yang Zaisi's nose and asking questions, he felt a little uncomfortable, so he raised his hand and said: "Today Gathering together to discuss matters, the two of them retreated to talk about their own affairs."

"I'm angry, I have nothing to say. Lintai has spoken, and the king of Hedong has reported it to the palace!"

Shen Junliang glared at Yang Zaisi again, then retreated to the side table and sat down without speaking.
