Chapter 483: Leaked forbidden Chinese language, derogatory
Wu Huaiyu enjoyed a rare short vacation at home.
After seven days, Xiao Yu finally produced a formal investigation report. Although the Yushitai did not fully agree with the ten crimes of Wu Huaiyu impeached by Wang Gui, they also believed that Wu Huaiyu, as prime minister, did form cliques for personal gain and use public affairs for personal gain.
and many other violations.
It is believed that he used the power of the prime minister and the special judge to appoint private individuals, and also arranged for the military family and their relatives and friends to participate in the Kaizhong Salt Process, mining and metallurgy, and the recent renovation of Chang'an Market. There were also cases of benefit transfer.
The investigation report is very long.
The emperor's face became gloomy after seeing it.
The atmosphere in the court today was very depressing.
Everyone could see that the emperor was very dissatisfied with Xiao Yu's investigation results.
The emperor was silent for a long time.
After a long wait, the emperor still did not speak.
Zhang Liang, the Duke of Guangluqing and Guoguo, left the mission.
"Chen Guanglu Qing Zhang Liang please play!"
"allow!"
Zhang Liang stood up at this time, but he wanted to impeach Xiao Yu. He believed that Xiao Yu, as a royal official and involved in political affairs and serving as prime minister, failed to uphold fairness in this investigation. His investigation results were problematic and obviously unfair.
Really unfair.
"I heard that when Duke Yi of the State of Song was inspecting Buddhism, the Duke of Song brought monks from Chang'an to the Duke of Yi several times to intercede, but he was rejected by the Duke of Yi. Therefore, I have reason to suspect that the Duke of Song was taking the opportunity to retaliate and avenge private revenge.
."
"Xiao Yu, Duke of Song Dynasty, has betrayed the saint, please investigate and deal with it!"
Many officials in the palace looked at Zhang Liang.
Guang Luqing was only in charge of cooking, but Zhang Liang had the audacity to intervene in the struggle between the prime ministers.
It was beyond everyone's expectation.
The emperor did not criticize Zhang Liang, but directly attacked Xiao Yu.
"The results of this investigation are full of errors."
"Xiao Yu, the Duke of the Song Dynasty, was removed from the post of imperial censor and no longer participated in government affairs. He was removed from the post of Prince's Young Master and became the Crown Prince's Young Master."
This is the third time that Xiao Yu Zhenguan was dismissed as prime minister.
No one expected that when Wang Gui and Wu Huaiyu fought, it was Xiao Yu who fell first.
This old man Xiao even froze on the spot, unable to believe it for a long time.
The emperor left him some dignity, and the prince's young master was demoted to the prince's young master, but at least he was still a second-grade minister, although it was only a false position.
The Emperor brushed aside the report.
He looked directly at the attendant Wang Gui.
"The servant Wang Gui leaked the forbidden Chinese language, and was impatient and intolerant. He was punished for leaking the forbidden Chinese language and abandoned the city. I thought Wang Gui was the prime minister and had made great contributions to the country, so he was spared the death penalty, demoted to the governor of Tongzhou, and won the title.
"
Like a thunderbolt.
Xiao Yu had just been dismissed as prime minister, but who would have expected that Wang Gui would also be dismissed as prime minister.
The charge is still to reveal the forbidden Chinese language. This is the most useful charge after the emperor hates his ministers. It is easier to use than groundless accusations.
But leaking forbidden Chinese language is indeed a capital crime. For courtiers, the emperor's words and deeds, including everything forbidden in the palace, even information about a tree in the palace, cannot be disclosed to the outside world, let alone national military and political affairs.
People like Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui, and Yang Shidao were very cautious in the past. Even if they could often go in and out of the emperor's bedroom, even if they were talking to family members, they would not reveal even half of the forbidden matters.
Wang Gui did not blame him unjustly for leaking the forbidden Chinese language. He did talk to his wife Du Shi and his son Wang Jingzhi about palace affairs at a dinner at home, but he was also talking about Princess Nanping at that time. Emperor Li Shimin once talked to Wang Jingzhi
When Wang Gui was discussing something, Princess Nanping came, so the emperor told Wang Gui a few words about his third daughter.
Wang Gui was at home, so he talked about this future daughter-in-law and also said a few words about the emperor's evaluation of the princess.
This is not a big deal at first, but if it is really investigated, it is still a serious crime.
Wang Gui's face was ashen. He did not expect that the emperor would use this to belittle him. Moreover, when he said this, there were only a few people in his family and not even a servant was present, but the emperor actually knew it.
Of course, to say that he is impatient and intolerant is actually to say that he is a prime minister who has no tolerance for others and has a narrow mind. This is a very poor evaluation.
This is even harder to love than the emperor saying that he falsely accused Wu Huaiyu and wanted to punish him.
Xiao Yu took off his Jinde crown, took off his goldfish talisman, and resigned angrily. Lao Xiao was really heartbroken. It had only been two years since Zhenguan, and he had already resigned from the position of prime minister three times.
The court can't stay here any longer and toy with people.
What is particularly outrageous is that he was said to be retaliating against Wu Huaiyu.
The old man walked to the door of the palace and tripped over the threshold. Xiao Yu stood firm and looked at the main pillar at the door. He really wanted to bump into it and die.
Wang Gui also imitated Xiao Yu, took off his crown, removed his talisman, and bowed down.
The emperor looked at the two prime ministers retreating with no expression on their faces.
With gloomy eyes scanning every corner of the hall, all officials felt the emperor's majesty.
"Welcome Wei Zheng as your servant!"
"Zhang Liang inspects the imperial censor and participates in government affairs."
Wei Zheng was originally the prime minister, and Zuo Cheng, the minister, was in charge of the secretary's office. It was natural for him to be promoted to a minister. Everyone was mentally prepared for it.
But why did Zhang Liang ascend to heaven and become prime minister?
This is even more surprising than when Wu Huaiyu paid homage to the prime minister. After all, Wu Huaiyu was known as a disciple of Yinxian, and he had indeed made great contributions on the battlefield of Shuofang, Longyou. He also took advantage of it and chopped off the heads of Luo Yi and Wang Junkuo.
Master Wang Liang also died under his hands.
Although Zhang Liang is more senior, he lost his armor in the previous wars and was wiped out, even the general manager's territory was destroyed. Later he was engaged in logistics and intelligence, and now he is in charge of the cooks. Such a person
, can he be prime minister?
Wei Ting, the servant of Huangmen, was very dissatisfied.
He immediately stood up to object. Zhang Liang was feeling proud and excited. Hearing the objection, he turned his head slightly and saw Wei Ting. He felt angry in his heart. But in the end, Zhang Liang came out of class and claimed that his ability was low and his contribution was meager.
Dare to take over the position of prime minister.
Li Shimin was quite satisfied with Zhang Liang's performance.
His eyes swept around the hall again.
Finally, the imperial edict was delivered orally.
Wei Tingqian was secretary-superintendent, Zhou Shaofan was moved to right-guard general, and director of the East Palace Army and Horses.
Zhang Liang moved to the palace to be the central eunuch and participated in the government affairs.
Hou Jun gathered the censors and officials to participate in the affairs of the court.
The emperor immediately adjusted several ministers one after another and paid homage to two prime ministers.
Not only did Zhang Liang pay homage to the prime minister, Hou Junji also paid homage to the prime minister.
Wei Ting himself was moved from the rank of Secretary-General to the Secretary-Supervisor, from the fourth-rank official to the third-rank official, and he was expected to be promoted. However, the Huangmen Shilang was the subordinate provincial minister, and he had much more power than the secretary-general.
Normally, when a Huangmen minister is promoted, most of them are promoted to the Minister of the Sixth Ministry. If he is promoted to the Secretariat or the Palace, then he will be promoted but actually demoted, and he will not be reused.
Zhou Shaofan went from being the Central Superintendent of the Palace and the General of the Left Guards to the General of the Right Guards, and the Superintendent of the East Palace Troops and Horses.
Hou Junji also suddenly became the Prime Minister. Very suddenly, General Youwei transferred Dr. Shi to the imperial censor and gave him the title of Prime Minister.
But everyone also knows that Hou Junji and Zhang Liang are the emperor's confidants, and they will be at the center sooner or later, but they didn't expect it to happen so suddenly and so quickly.
In the palace, the emperor made no arrangements for Wu Huaiyu.
In fact, the emperor did not accept Wu Huaiyu's resignation. He is now on sick leave at home, as are Qin Qiong, Li Jing, and Ma Zhou.
Now that the matter is over, it’s just a matter of ‘recovering from illness and returning to court’.
As expected, Ma Zhou went to court the next day.
On the third day, Li Jing also returned to the Ministry of War to take charge of matters.
Only Wu Huaiyu and Qin Qiong were still at home, and they even submitted their third resignation.
Changsun Wuji personally visited Xuanyangfang.
"Why, are you still angry?"
The uncle came on behalf of the emperor and asked him to go back.
Wu Huaiyu said bluntly, "I'm still a little angry, but I'm not resigning because of this. After calming down these days and looking back, I found that I was indeed a little too hasty. It's not okay to do things too hastily. Leave this matter to me.
A reminder,
Now that the opposition has become louder, I would like to take the opportunity to retire and rest, so that those who use me as an excuse to oppose the new policy will no longer have a target to attack, and this can also ease the conflict."
Although they mainly opposed the new policies, Wu Huaiyu could calm down the situation by temporarily retreating.
Everyone has a buffer step.
"really?"
"Although I am young, Duke Zhao still doesn't understand me. Am I the kind of person who can't distinguish between priorities?"
"Besides, if you can advance, you can also retreat. Since His Majesty became emperor, there have been many prime ministers who have stepped down from their positions. Prime Minister Xiao has paid homage three times."
Changsun Wuji believed that Huaiyu was not deliberately being pretentious or anything.
Although he himself had asked to resign and abdicated the throne at the beginning, he still could not accept this tone. But seeing Wu Huaiyu so calm today, he is really ashamed of himself.
"If you don't want to be prime minister, you don't have to resign from all your posts, right?"
"Let's just take a rest. Anyway, without Butcher Zhang, we still won't eat pigs with hair on them,"
Changsun Wuji laughed heartily.
"Both of us are the same now,"
Well, they are all former prime ministers.
After a simple meal at Wu's house, Changsun Wuji went home and chatted with the emperor's brother-in-law for a long time.
The next day, the emperor issued an edict that Qin Qiong was recuperating due to illness and was relieved of the post of right servant of the Inspector of Schools. He was given the title of General of Hussars and continued to work part-time as General of Zuowei.
Wu Huaiyu was recuperating due to illness, so he was exempted from the duties of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, specializing in judging branches, participating in government affairs, serving as the prince's younger brother, serving as the head of the Chongxuan Hall, and concurrently studying national history.
Jiawu Huaiyu was appointed as a scattered official.
This is a second-grade casual official. Although Wu Huaiyu has resigned as prime minister and has been exempted from those duties, this special promotion makes everyone think that Wu Huaiyu is still favored by the holy family. Perhaps it is just because of some issues related to Wang Gui's impeachment.
, was confirmed by Xiao Yu's investigation, but after all, he was very meritorious, so although he was dismissed from the prime minister this time, he still did not lose the holy family.
Te Jin was originally an informal official name, which was the title of introduction. His position was comparable to that of the Three Dukes, and he was treated like a prime minister. Later, it gradually became a Jiaguan, which was given to those with special status among the princes. During court meetings, he was second only to the Three Dukes.
In the Southern and Northern Dynasties, this gradually became a virtual title of Sanjie, and now it is the second level of Sanjie officials, second only to the first-rank Kaifu Yitong Sansi.
At such a young age, even if he is not a prime minister, if he attends a court meeting, he will still be ranked above the prime minister.
A few days later.
The right servant of the minister, Du Ruhui, the Duke of Lai Kingdom, died of illness in his palace at the age of forty-four. There were rumors that Du Ruhui was originally in a stable condition, but his condition suddenly worsened and his death was related to the dismissal of Wang Gui and his demotion.
Wang Gui's wife, the Du family, was born from the Du family in Jingzhao, and her natal family was the Du Ruhui family. Wang Gui's mother, the Li family in Zhaojun, was married to the Wang family in Taiyuan, both of whom were from well-known families. The younger daughter-in-law was also the daughter of the emperor. Wang Gui's eldest son was intentionally married
Du Ruhui married his daughter.
This can be considered a close relationship.
There are secret rumors that Wang Gui suddenly launched an attack this time, and many people behind the scenes were implicated, including Fa Shun, the head of the Huayan Sect of Buddhism, also known as Monk Du Shun.
Du Ruhui's younger brother Du Chuke.
Anyway, the Du family was deeply involved. Monk Du Shun and Du Chuke wrote many letters to Du Ruhui. Du Ruhui, who was ill, asked Wang Gui to come to the government for several secret discussions.
Contact Zheng Shanguo, Zheng Yuanxuan, Cui Qian and others who are out of Beijing,
These are all in-laws.
This was an attack that several wealthy families had been plotting for a long time, but the result was a disastrous failure.
Du Ruhui heard that the emperor had sent hundreds of cavalry to Luoyang's Songshan Mountain to summon Du Chuke back to the capital. He was anxious and frightened, but the result suddenly disappeared.
After the emperor heard that Du Ruhui had died, he left the court for three days and gave him the posthumous title of Sikong, with the posthumous title of Cheng. He also sent people to catch up with Baiqi who had gone to Luoyang and brought new instructions to Du Chuke.
With the help of his brother Du Ruhui, he recruited Du Chuke to the capital as the fifth rank to serve as a minister, without asking about his past affairs.
Du Gou, the eldest son of Du Ruhui, succeeded Duke Lai in the title of Jue and was appointed an official by Shang She to serve as the emperor.
His second son, Du He, was appointed as Shangcheng's imperial concubine and given the title of Princess Shang.
Although Du Ruhui had been ill for a long time and was unable to work for a long time, his sudden death still surprised many people. After all, he was only in his forties.
"There are rumors that Du Gong committed suicide out of fear of crime?"
Zhang Liang, the newly-appointed prime minister, visited Wu Huaiyu's home and brought many gifts. After he paid homage to the prime minister, Zhaojun Li's attitude towards him changed drastically. Zhaojun Li, who had always looked down on him in the past, began to be enthusiastic about him.
, which was very useful to Zhang Liang.
However, in front of this young man Wu Huaiyu, he still maintained enough respect, even though he had become a former prime minister.
"Isn't it Mr. Zhang who knows best?"
The shouting of Mr. Zhang made Zhang Liang feel numb all over. He chuckled and said, "I don't care about the six doors now. The nine-tailed fox is now in charge of the six doors. An Yuanshou's mother just left, and he has returned to Wuwei and Dingyou to observe filial piety."
Already."
Wu Huaiyu chatted with Zhang Liang for a while, but there was no in-depth communication. Although the two had worked together at Liumen, their relationship was not good. He was always wary of Zhang Liang. This guy started his career by informing, and later he always
In the field of spy surveillance, you cannot have close friendship with such people.
Zhang Liang only came to visit to express his respect for Wu Huaiyu. Although he is now the prime minister and Wu Huaiyu has resigned, he clearly knows that Wu Huaiyu already has considerable influence in the court. Wang Gui said that Wu Huaiyu formed a clique.
That's right.
Zhang Liang also knew very well who Wu Huaiyu had, but the emperor did not pursue these matters, so he would naturally not go to find out. He had seen the fate of Wang Gui and Xiao Yu with his own eyes.
When leaving, Zhang Liang whispered in front of Huaiyu, "Previously, a group of hundreds of cavalry went to Songshan to capture Du Chuke. They were even ready to seize Huayan Temple and bring Monk Dushun back.
When Du Xiang heard the news, he died of fear.
It would be a good idea for him to die. He went to capture his brother Du Chuke's Baiqi, and received a new decree. He accepted Du Chuke into the capital as a fifth-rank minister, and gave him purple cassocks to the Baiqi who went to Huayan Temple."
"Otherwise, I don't know how embarrassing this matter would be, but now I'll just turn it over."
