The sky was dark, and the large brackets and cornices of the Taiji Hall inevitably led to insufficient light. Dozens of candles as thick as arms were lit on the walls on both sides of the hall. The candlelight was as bright as day.
If it were in the past, after dozens of tallow candles were lit together, the whole palace would be bright. However, the black smoke emitted after burning tallow was lingering. Soon, the ministers' eyes would be dry and red, but they could only endure it.
Unspeakable suffering.
Since Fangjia Workshop produced new candles, this shortcoming no longer exists.
Especially when scholars read at night, this new type of candle is round and delicate, and the smoke released after burning is almost negligible, which greatly protects the eyes. Therefore, countless scholars and scholars highly praised this kind of candle, and even developed it
Fang Jun, who produced such candles, also gained a wave of reputation and gained a lot of favorability points...
The ministers in the palace thought of Fang Jun from the candles, and then thought of the turmoil in the East Market last night, and subconsciously looked sideways at the front of the row of civil servants.
There is a mat on the ground in the main hall, and the ministers are sitting on the ground. There is a plan table in front of the minister in the front row. These are ministers of third rank and above, wearing purple robes. Behind them are officials of third rank and lower.
The division chiefs lined up behind their respective chief officers.
The left is civilized and the right is martial. Among the old ministers in purple chicken skins and white hair in the front row on the left, a young man with a dark face and an upright figure blends in. He is as conspicuous as a bear burrowing among the sheep...
The most surprising thing is that as the head of the Prime Minister, Fang Xuanling was naturally in the first place, followed by eight or nine people, Fang Jun, who looked heroic.
Father and son are in the same palace, two high-ranking officials in the same family, it is really enviable to others!
"The emperor has arrived..."
Following a shrill and high-pitched call from the chamberlain, His Majesty Li Er, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, walked out of the back hall and sat on the throne. The crown of pearls and jade colored threads above his head trembled and swayed, adding a touch of supremacy.
majesty.
All the ministers straightened their upper bodies, bowed down in unison, and shouted: "See you, Your Majesty!"
His Majesty Li Er said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
After all the ministers stood up and sat upright, His Majesty Li Er said slowly: "Is there a memorial for you today?"
"My lord, I have a script to start this memorial!"
Almost as soon as His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, Liu Ji stood up and walked to the palace, bowed to His Majesty Li Er and said loudly.
Changsun Wuji glanced at Fang Xuanling next to him, and saw that his eyebrows were lowered and his eyes were expressionless. Then he glanced at Xiao Lu on the other side, nodded slightly, and finally let go of his worries...
Just now, he saw Liu Jie outside the Zhuque Gate looking abnormal. Changsun Wuji thought for a while that something unexpected had happened. However, when he saw Liu Jie standing up to perform as agreed, everything was back on track. As long as ministers with aristocratic family backgrounds
Working together with the Yushi Yanguan, the Dongshi Incident that exceeded the planned scale can be brought back abruptly.
As long as the matter does not exceed the emperor's bottom line and falls within the framework of political struggle, there is no need for the emperor to go to war.
Based on Changsun Wuji's understanding of His Majesty Li Er, no matter what, Fang Jun, a Jingzhao Yin, would not be able to sit still.
The Dongshi incident this time is just to boycott Fang Jun, but if Fang Jun's strength causes Xiao Ju to cause trouble tomorrow, he will become an army...
No one was more afraid of the coup than His Majesty Li Er, who came to power through a coup. In order to ensure the stability of Chang'an, Fang Jun could only be replaced and a stable and experienced minister was placed in the position of Jing Zhaoyin.
Changsun Wuji thought about various possibilities in his mind, and his mood became more and more relaxed. As long as Jing Zhaoyin is no longer the stick of Fang Jun, the emperor's suppression of the family members will definitely be reduced by several levels, and everyone can relax a little.
.
This kid Fang Jun is so sharp...
He was pondering the plan in his mind, and His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne, had already asked: "What is the origin of Liu Aiqing's memorial?"
Liu Ji took out the memorial he had written last night and handed it to the eunuch in the palace. The eunuch then presented it to His Majesty Li Er. Then Liu Ji shook his clothes, his face was filled with sadness and anger, and his tone was sonorous.
"A great country can be governed by strict laws, prospered by cultivating virtues, and prospered by respecting the king. The harmony of the people also goes hand in hand with governing the world, and the ruler who governs the world is wise and his ministers are virtuous. Your Majesty is now looking over the four seas and working hard to govern, which is unprecedented in the ages.
He is a holy king. However, there are some people who are just greedy for personal gain and forget the great righteousness. They care about the small family at the expense of everyone. They ignore the king's law and treat the laws and regulations as if they are nothing. They can be called the treacherous sycophants of the country!"
Although Liu Ji is thin, he is full of energy. He is talking eloquently and his voice echoes in the hall with great momentum!
Changsun Wuji was a little surprised. Liu Ji's literary talents were naturally not worthy of mention, but you can impeach Fang Jun and you can say this? It's just a headstrong person who exploits merchants for his own purposes. What's the point of being greedy for personal gain and forgetting the righteousness, caring about a small family and abandoning everyone?
?
There is something wrong with this article!
Who doesn’t know that Fang Jun dedicated his glass industry, which was making a fortune every day, to the emperor? How can this be said to be greedy for personal gain and forgetting the righteousness?
On the throne, His Majesty Li Er did not read Liu Jie's memorial. Instead, he stared at Liu Jie in the palace and asked in a deep voice: "Who does Liu Aiqing want to impeach?"
Liu Jie straightened his chest and raised his head, and said word by word: "I impeach Changsun Wuji, Xiao, Linghu De, Wei Yuancheng..."
Say six or seven names in one breath!
Changsun Wuji almost thought he had tinnitus...
Wait, who is this guy talking about?
Changsun Wuji?
Changsun Wuji's eyes widened and he stared at Liu Jie who was standing upright in the palace. What the hell is this?
We are on the same team, but we actually turned against each other...
He didn't even have time to get angry, his mind was completely occupied by surprise. He really wanted to pull Liu Ji over, hold Liu Ji's ear and ask: Why is this?
Xiao Ye looked shocked. Are you a mad dog? Whoever you catch will bite you?
Not only Changsun Wuji, Xiao and others were stunned and stunned, but all the officials in the hall were stunned. Everyone looked at the Liu Ji with their mouths in disbelief, thinking that this person is crazy?
His Majesty Li Er on the throne also looked confused...
Tai thought that Liu Jie had colluded with Changsun Wuji and others to impeach Fang Jun, but in the blink of an eye the trend completely changed, and Liu Yushi actually pointed his finger at the Guanlong Group and most of the aristocratic families in the central government.
What is this for?
His Majesty Li Er felt that he could not understand. It was Fang Jun who persuaded Liu Ji to fight back? This was impossible. How could His Majesty Li Er not know Liu Ji's temperament? If he could be persuaded so easily, he would not be able to do so.
They will always promote him and put him in the position of managing books and serving as censor.
Quickly pick up Liu Ji's memorial and open it to see what kind of madness this old guy has...
After Liu Ji finished speaking, the emperor read the memorial again, and there was an eerie silence in the main hall.
Then, censors stepped forward one after another.
"Your Majesty, I am impeaching the eldest son Wuji for instigating his servant Xiao Ju to cause trouble, knowing the law and breaking the law..."
"Wei Chen impeached Xiao for allowing his family to bully merchants and compete with the people for profit!"
"The minister impeached Linghu for his lack of moral character and his unqualified position as Minister of Rites!"
"Wei Chen impeached his cousin Wei Yuancheng for occupying private land and selling his official position to gain title!"
"The impeachment of a weak official..."
…
The entire hall suddenly exploded like a drop of water dripping into a frying pan!
Half of the censors on the censorship platform stood up, each with a righteous look and a face that showed no fear of power. The waves of righteousness almost broke through the roof of the Taiji Hall, straight up to the sky, and the storm was raging!
The officials were stunned.
Fang Jun almost laughed to his heart's content. Who would have thought that if he set a fire, Liu Jie would think that Changsun Wuji and others were seeking revenge? What's especially rare is that Liu Yushi was so stubborn and arrogant that he went crazy and ignored him.
He went so far as to impeach these court officials one by one...
It’s so awesome!
Changsun Wuji's pale face turned red, he was surprised and angry at the same time. Fortunately, he was deep in the city and didn't rush forward to knock Liu Jie down and kick him. However, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He stared at Liu Jie and scolded Liu Jie angrily: "
Are you crazy?"
Liu Ji looked at him sideways: "If you want others to know, you have to do nothing! You are all treacherous villains and slanderous people. In fact, you are the treacherous sycophants in the court and the cowards of the country! You know what you are doing, and you still have it.
Why do you have the face to accuse me?"
Changsun Wuji almost died of anger!
What did I do that I know?
I know so much shit!
Xiao Wei, who was on the side, did not speak, but he was also confused in his heart. The two sides were supposed to join forces to deal with Fang Jun, but how could they suddenly become allies fighting each other?
Subconsciously he glanced at Fang Xuanling, who was always beside him, and suddenly thought, could it be that Fang Xuanling made a secret move to win over Liu Jie? Although Fang Xuanling seemed to be neither fighting nor robbing, nor helping.
But after all, as the head of the prime minister, Fang Xuanling can definitely fulfill the promise that he can make to Liu Jie...
What an old fox, he kept silent and caught himself off guard!
It’s really scheming, awesome, awesome!
But how did he know that Fang Xuanling was also filled with emotions at the moment...
Erlang really has the talent for officialdom. He looked dejected last night. In the blink of an eye, he attracted Liu Jie. Originally, the aristocratic family members joined forces with the imperial censor to target Fang Jun, but now they have turned into a rebel...
…
In this case, even if the emperor wanted to beat Erlang, there would be no reason to hit him too hard, right?
After being happy for a while, Fang Xuanling suddenly felt depressed again.
My son is so capable that he can be annoying at times. The back-up plan that I carefully prepared has not been used yet. The brat seems to have taken care of it on his own...
