Five years as county magistrate, hundreds of millions of kilograms of grain shocked Li Shimin Chapter 187 The Manchu Dynasty Civil and Military Discussion on Fang Yuan
Chapter 187 The Manchu Dynasty Civil and Military Discussion on Fang Yuan
Chapter 187: The Manchu Dynasty’s Civil and Military Discussing Fang Yuan
Li Shimin was also shocked.
Unexpectedly, Pei Ji and Xiao Yu attacked at the same time.
The two of them impeached Fang Yuan at the same time, and their factions will definitely follow suit.
Li Shimin's idea had just arisen when a group of ministers immediately stood up and seconded his opinion.
Seeing all the ministers impeaching Fang Yuan, Li Shimin couldn't help but feel a little pain in his head, secretly thinking that Fang Yuan would really make trouble.
First, he offended Pei Ji, and then he quarreled with Xiao Yu. After a few days, he won’t have sex with another minister, right?
"Your Majesty, I think this is empty talk, so why not send an order from Chang'an to go to court for a confrontation."
Du Ruhui walked out and suggested.
"Pass!"
Li Shimin and others are proposing.
Impeachment like this cannot result in immediate conviction.
Confrontation is the most normal operation and generally requires evidence.
Otherwise, if you can impeach and convict casually, how can the ministers of the imperial court be safe?
Soon, a eunuch went to announce Fangyuan.
At this time, the sun had just risen, and the people in Chang'an City were beginning to go to the market.
The eunuch who went to Xuan Fangyuan did not find Fang Yuan at the county government office, and finally went to Fang Mansion to find Fang Yuan who had just woken up.
"Fang Ling, please quickly follow the villain into the palace."
The eunuch who delivered the order couldn't care less about maintaining his proud look and urged.
He ran for so long to find Fang Yuan. He might be scolded when he returns to the palace. I just hope Fang Yuan can hurry up.
"What's the matter, father-in-law?"
Fang Yuan asked.
But I already have speculation in my mind.
It should be that Xiao Yu impeached himself in the court, and the emperor ordered him to confront him.
"Prime Minister Pei and the Duke of Song have impeached you early. You should quickly follow the villain into the palace."
The eunuch urged.
I looked at the sky and saw that half an hour had passed since I set out.
Half an hour, His Majesty and the ministers have been waiting for Fang Yuan for half an hour.
Thinking about it, he felt like he was suffocating. He would definitely be punished if he went back.
"Prime Minister Pei also impeached me?"
Fang Yuan suddenly frowned.
He thought that Xiao Yu would impeach him today.
But it’s a bit surprising that Pei Ji also impeached.
After thinking about it, it seems that the two of them had ventilated in advance.
"Yes."
"Fang Ling, please come with me."
The eunuch urged again.
I can't help but pull Fang Yuan to walk faster.
Fang Yuan was helpless by him and ordered someone to bring the horses.
Not long after, Fang Yuan entered the palace and entered the Chengtian Gate.
When entering Chengtian Gate, a new eunuch was changed to greet Fang Yuan.
The rules of the palace are very complicated. There is a difference between bringing Fang Yuan out of the palace and bringing Fang Yuan into the palace.
"Fang Ling, His Highness the Third Prince has something to tell you."
The eunuch walked in front, lowered his head and whispered.
"Say."
Fang Yuan was stunned and looked at the eunuch in front of him in surprise.
However, the eunuch in front walked briskly, and everything was as before, as if he was not talking.
"Song Guogong asked His Highness the Third Highness to deal with you. Your Highness the Third Highness, would you like to take refuge with him?"
"If you are willing, after entering the court, find an opportunity to nod to His Highness the Third Highness. If not, His Highness will impeach you together with Song Guogong."
"His Royal Highness also said that he really cherishes your talent and is willing to resolve the grievances between you and Song Guogong. Please consider it carefully."
"Finally, His Royal Highness is the second among the royal relatives and relatives."
The eunuch spoke very quickly, but his words were clear and Fang Yuan could hear them clearly.
Fang Yuan did not answer, but under his calm face, his heart was full of surprise.
The third prince is so powerful that even the eunuchs who deliver orders have been bribed by him.
But it’s not necessarily a good thing. Even the emperor’s people dare to bribe them, which will inevitably backfire.
Not long after, Fang Yuan arrived at the entrance of Tai Chi Hall, and one step ahead was the place where he would go to the morning court.
The Chaotang, the center of power in the Tang Dynasty, was full of distinguished ministers.
Fang Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down, and stepped into the court hall.
The next moment, countless pairs of eyes were cast on Fang Yuan.
Invisibly, Fang Yuan felt that the pressure doubled.
"I, Chang'an, order Fang Yuan to pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Fang Yuan walked to the front and saluted Li Shimin.
"No gifts!"
Li Shimin said slowly.
Fang Yuan felt that Li Shimin's voice was not loud.
But it came from above, as if a god was above, looking down on the world.
Fang Yuan withdrew his posture, secretly looked to both sides, and soon saw Li Ke in the group of royal relatives.
The young man looks 50 or 60% similar to Li Shimin. He is full of confidence and has a calmness beyond his years.
The third prince Li Ke was looking at Fang Yuan with expectation, with a faint smile on his lips, and his brows were full of confidence, as if he was sure that Fang Yuan would nod to him.
However,
Fang Yuan just glanced at him and made no other moves.
It was completely different from what he told the eunuch to mean. He didn’t nod to him, which means... he didn’t take refuge in him.
In an instant, the third prince's smile turned gloomy and his eyes became sharp, but he quickly recovered as if it had never happened.
"Fang Yuan, to impeach Duke Song, you broke into his mansion last night and tried to forcefully take away his housekeeper several times. You even wanted to use violence against Duke Song. Is this possible?"
Li Shimin said loudly.
After he finished speaking, all the officials looked at Fang Yuan.
Song Guogong Xiao Yu stared at Fang Yuan with anger on his face.
He had no problem with the emperor's retelling, which was pretty much the same as what he just said.
"It's true that I tried to take Song Guogong's housekeeper away by force several times."
"But I have never thought about using violence against Song Guogong, and I don't dare to think about it."
Fang Yuan said calmly.
Even if he is stared at by countless pairs of eyes, Fang Yuan is not afraid.
But the pressure is huge. After all, this is a court, and these eyes are big shots.
"Don't dare to think about it?"
"You almost did it!"
"Dozens of government officials asked me for help, and even blocked all entrances and exits of my house!"
Xiao Yu stood up and said loudly.
As soon as he finished speaking, the officials were in an uproar again.
They just heard about Xiao Yu impeaching Fang Yuan for breaking into the mansion at night.
Now they heard that even the entrances and exits were blocked, which was too disrespectful to the Duke of the country, and they all accused Fang Yuan of going too far.
"Fang Yuan, you are arrogant!"
"Even if you break into the Song Dynasty Duke's mansion, you also block all the entrances and exits of the Song Dynasty Duke's mansion?!"
Li Shimin's face looked a little ugly.
He thought Fang Yuan just broke into Xiao Yu's residence at night.
Unexpectedly, all entrances and exits were blocked. How embarrassing would this be for Xiao Yu?
As a dignified prince, even if he commits a crime, there must be formal procedures and certain courtesy.
Without the official documents of the three companies, or his own oral edict or imperial edict, Fang Yuan dared to do this, which is indeed too much.
"It is indeed arrogant, and there is nothing more arrogant than this!"
"Your Majesty, I led a team of Jinwu Guards on patrol at that time. I found that the Song Dynasty Duke's Mansion was blocked and went to check it out. However, I was blocked by the government officials and almost couldn't enter my home."
"Faced with those excessive government officials, I all doubted whether the Jinwu Guards were responsible for the security of Chang'an City."
Among the ministers, Xiao Rui stood up.
He is an official of the fifth rank and is also qualified to attend the morning court.
I went to court specifically today to impeach Fang Yuan.
The ministers were in an uproar again, shocked by Fang Yuan's boldness.
Even Jin Wuwei dared to block it, so the new official’s three fires after taking office were outrageous, right?
"Your Majesty, please punish Fang Yuan severely!"
"Such a person is not worthy of his position and is not worthy of being ordered to Chang'an!"
Pei Ji also stepped forward.
More people came forward to impeach Fang Yuan.
They all expressed that Fang Yuande was not worthy of the position and so on.
For a time, nearly all the ministers stood up.
One after another, the whole court felt like a vegetable market.
Fang Yuan stood in the court hall and was surrounded by people, like a lonely boat in the sea.
But he said nothing and allowed the ministers to impeach him, his face still standing in the same place.
"Quiet!"
"Fang Yuan, what do you have to say?"
Li Shimin's face turned even more ugly.
He helped Fang Yuan up with one hand.
Fang Yuan's recklessness will undoubtedly affect him.
If Fang Yuan cannot provide a reasonable explanation, he will also be impeached by the ministers.
Looking at Wei Zheng among the ministers, Li Shimin's head hurt even more. When he helped Fang Yuan take office as the Chang'an Order, Wei Zheng opposed the most fiercely.
But so far, Wei Zheng has not spoken and has been standing there quietly listening.
"I have something to say, and a lot to say!"
Fang Yuan said loudly.
"Then tell me!"
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
But he glared at Fang Yuan speechlessly.
If you have something to say, just say it. Are you happy being impeached by so many ministers?
"Ministers, can you please be quiet for a moment?"
"It's my first time to go to court, and you scared me."
Fang Yuan glanced at Xiao Yu and others.
These ministers who stood up chattered endlessly.
Although he was silent, he still accused Fang Yuan in a low voice.
His ears were buzzing, making Fang Yuan feel speechless and uncomfortable.
I don’t know if I just happened to have such a morning morning, or if it’s just like this in ordinary morning mornings.
Quite speechless.
"Arrogant!"
"The eyes have no dignity!"
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Fang Yuan!"
All the ministers got angry and wanted to impeach Fang Yuan.
"Okay!"
"Wait until he finishes speaking before you impeach him!"
Li Shimin felt a lump in his chest.
Not because of Xiao Yu and other ministers, but because of Fang Yuan.
It’s not the first time for a prostitute in a brothel. Do you need to say that you were scared for the first time?
Judging from the angry expressions of the ministers, some ministers may have been involved, thinking that Fang Yuan secretly cursed them as prostitutes.
This bastard is really not afraid of death, and he dares to mock Xiao Yu and other ministers in such a big name.
The court slowly became quiet, and everyone looked at Fang Yuan.
"The Duke of Song Dynasty only said that his ministers and government officials broke into his mansion, but the specific reasons were not mentioned in one sentence."
"Before I broke into the Duke of Song's residence, I was trapped by Bishamon's military advisor. More than fifty men in black surrounded me and almost killed me."
"If I hadn't been prepared in advance and secretly added some government officials, what your Majesty and the ministers would see now might be my body."
Fang Yuan said slowly.
Before he could speak, the officials were in an uproar.
Even Li Shimin, who was walking on the dragon throne, had a changed expression.
Xiao Yu was also shocked because Fang Yuan didn't tell him about Bishamon Military Advisor last night.
Just mentioning Bishamon!
Bishamon and Bishamon's military advisor are completely two different concepts!
Fang Yuan ignored the uproar of the officials and stated what happened last night in a leisurely manner.
"When I counterattacked against Bishamon's military advisor, I captured alive a man in black. He was a water carrier in the Song Dynasty Duke's palace. He had a real name. So I wanted to ask the steward of the Song Dynasty Duke's palace to go back and investigate. It's understandable, right?"
"Considering the safety of Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, I even suspected that Bishamon's military advisors had hid in the Duke of Song's Mansion and temporarily blocked all exits of the Duke of Song's Mansion. Is it understandable?"
Fang Yuan continued.
The officials were completely in an uproar.
"Have you seen Bishamon's military advisor?"
Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask.
The ministers present also looked at Fang Yuan nervously.
Bishamon's military advisor is the focus of the court's attention.
"Seeing it doesn't count as seeing it."
"He was wearing night clothes and a black cloak. He couldn't even tell the difference between male and female in his voice."
"You Chengzhou, the leader of the Chang'an County Government Investigation Team, and more than a dozen government officials led by him can testify to this matter, and I am not telling any lies."
Fang Yuan said in a deep voice.
"Why didn't you inform me immediately?"
Li Shimin asked.
There was a little bit of anger in his words.
Such a good opportunity was wasted. It will be difficult to meet the Bishamon military advisor again in the future.
"I didn't realize at the time how terrifying Bishamon's military advisor was."
"Furthermore, Prince Consort Xiao forced Jin Wuwei into and out of Song Dynasty's palace, and the notification was useless."
"In addition, I just have suspicions and no real evidence. Even the steward of the Duke of Song Dynasty did not cooperate with the investigation, so how could I dare to report it to His Majesty?"
Fang Yuan shook his head and said.
He really didn't know how terrifying Bishamon's military advisor was at that time.
She reminded me last night when I was having sex with Princess Xiangcheng.
Bishamon is an unknown organization, and Bishamon's military advisor is an even more terrifying person.
It is rumored that Bishamon's military advisor is the leader of Bishamon, and there is also a sect leader above him.
All in all, the imperial court is not very clear about the existence of Bishamon, nor is it very clear about good and evil.
But just because of the name Bishamon, the organization Bishamon is not allowed to exist.
"Your Majesty, I don't know about Bishamon's military advisor."
"When Fang Yuan first led people into my mansion, he only said that he had been assassinated. Bishamon didn't even mention that he would arrest the old minister's butler."
"He had no official documents, and there was no oral or imperial edict from His Majesty, so the old minister rejected his intention, and then he wanted to force his way in. It was only after Princess Xiangcheng arrived that he mentioned Bishamon."
Xiao Yu quickly stood up and explained.
At the same time, he cursed Fang Yuan in his heart for being sinister and hateful.
There was no mention of Bishamon at the beginning, nor was there any mention of Bishamon's military advisor.
Now, because of Bishamon's military advisor's problem, he was originally the victim, and now he has to explain the problem.
"Song Guogong, please be careful with your words. I am asking your housekeeper to cooperate with the investigation, not to arrest you."
"In addition, the first thing you mentioned was that I asked to see you on official business, but you didn't even see me and humiliated me as a guard, so I broke in."
"Finally, I remember mentioning Bishamon Military Advisor at that time, but Xiao Rui rushed in with his troops. I was so scared that I didn't dare to stay long and left in despair."
Fang Yuan emphasized.
Transfer the problem to Xiao Yu.
Maybe it was because the Bishamon military advisor was a very important matter, so the minister who just impeached Fang Yuan stopped talking.
"Your Majesty, Fang Yuan rushed in with great momentum at that time, without giving any face to the minister who is the Duke of the country..."
Xiao Yu continued to explain.
But this time, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Li Shimin.
"Okay!"
"I don't want to listen to your personal words anymore. I will order someone to find out about this matter."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
Both Fang Yuan and Xiao Yu have problems with this matter.
One has no regard for the dignity of the duke, and the other relies on the respect of the duke and refuses to cooperate.
Xiao Yu's face froze, and he looked ugly and shut up.
Li Shimin's meaning was obvious, he didn't believe his words.
He is a majestic prince, and his son even married a princess, but he doesn’t trust himself.
What does Fang Yuan mean that he is so partial?
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty, I would like to resign from the post of Chang'an Order."
Fang Yuan flattered him and then said in a deep voice.
After the words fell, Xiao Yu, who was about to retreat, was stunned.
Other ministers were also stunned and looked at Fang Yuan in disbelief.
Although the rank of Chang'an Order is not high, its significance is extraordinary.
I don’t know how many people are staring at this position and want it.
"Why?"
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
It feels like Fang Yuan is getting angry with himself.
Just the day before yesterday, I told Fang Yuan that Chang'an City would be handed over to him.
Today, he actually proposed to resign from the post of Chang'an Order in front of all the ministers.
"Fang Ling, don't mess around and retreat quickly."
Du Ruhui was also puzzled.
But more importantly, I don’t want Fang Yuan to resign.
If you secure the position of Chang'an Order, your future will be unlimited.
"Your Majesty, the Chang'an Order is only superficial and is not the position I want."
Fang Yuan ignored Du Ruhui and said in a deep voice.
"The Chang'an Order is responsible for all affairs in Chang'an City, how can it be just an appearance?"
Li Shimin frowned and said.
He seemed to understand what Fang Yuan wanted to express.
All matters mentioned by Li Shimin do not include the Imperial City by default.
"I was assassinated as an orderer of Chang'an. I can't investigate even if I have clues. It's so frustrating."
"There are so many princes and princes in Chang'an City. If all of them refuse to cooperate with my investigation based on their status, I will not be able to carry out my work at all."
"Instead of holding back the post of Chang'an Order and being disliked by others, it is better to follow Prime Minister Pei's advice and go to remote areas to practice for some time and spend a peaceful life."
Fang Yuan shrugged and said with an indifferent expression.
After the words fell, everyone understood that Fang Yuan was complaining to the emperor.
When Pei Ji was mentioned, his face suddenly stiffened and he looked at Fang Yuan angrily.
It was obvious that Fang Yuan was retelling what happened at the door of the Minister of Civil Affairs.
He can't even handle a mere Chang'an order, which is a shame in his career as an official.
"Nonsense!"
"It's all nonsense!"
"Chang'an ordered Fang Yuan to obey the order!"
Li Shimin suddenly said angrily.
He scolded Fang Yuan for being nonsense, and also scolded everyone for being nonsense.
At the same time, use this opportunity to increase power to Fang Yuan.
Yesterday, Fang Yuan asked him for an imperial edict, which meant he asked for power.
He thought deeply about this and felt that it was necessary to give Fang Yuan more power.
Naturally, it is to give Fang Yuan more power, not to give power to every Chang'an order.
In this way, Fang Yuan can help him better manage Chang'an City and govern Chang'an City.
"Your Majesty Fangyuan listens!"
Fang Yuan responded immediately.
At the same time, I was secretly happy: the emperor understood what he meant.
But the ministers were shocked, and they all looked around and wanted to object, but they didn't know what the emperor wanted to do.
"In the future, when you handle cases, as long as there is sufficient evidence, you can take away people below the fourth rank to cooperate with the investigation."
"If there are princes, princes, princesses, dukes, etc. who want to stop you due to their status, you can ignore them and report them to me later."
Li Shimin said in a deep voice.
The former is not considered a power.
But the latter greatly improves Fang Yuan's convenience.
Even if the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment want to take away people with the above identities, they have to seek their opinions.
And Fang Yuan directly had such power, which shocked everyone present and made everyone moved.
"Thank you..."
Fang Yuan was so excited that he wanted to thank him.
But before I could speak, I was interrupted.
"Your Majesty, I object!"
The third prince Li Ke interrupted loudly.
Coming out of the ranks of royal relatives.
He attracted everyone's attention as soon as he appeared.
"Your Majesty, I also object to this!"
Pei Ji also stepped forward.
After the words fell behind, Xiao Yu and his son also objected.
In an instant, another group of ministers stood up to oppose, and the number was even larger than before.
"What's the reason?"
Li Shimin looked around the court and said in a deep voice.
"Father, no one is high or low, but there is dignity and inferiority."
"Princes, princes, princesses, dukes, etc. are all the face of the imperial court. If the official order arrests people openly without official documents or edicts, how will the people in the world see the imperial court? Will they think that we do not need to be in awe?"<
/p>
"In addition, I also heard that when Fang Ling was guarding Liaozhou City, he ordered people to be shot and killed, and hundreds of people were massacred. You can imagine his cold heart. I thought that such a person could not increase his power.
It will endanger the people and the country."
Li Ke said slowly.
The words were well-founded and instantly received the support of many ministers.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Fang Yuan will not only be unable to increase his power, but also be dismissed pending trial."
"He even killed ordinary people, even hundreds of them. It is obvious that his intentions are sinister. We must strictly investigate the truth and punish him for his crimes."
Xiao Yu and Pei Ji once again proposed to dismiss Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan didn't say anything. He had already submitted a memorial to Li Shimin about shooting the people.
It's impossible to hide such a big thing, so it's better to explain the problems openly.
At that time, Li Shimin canonized himself as the Chang'an Order, so he should have already thought of a solution.
Now that Li Ke takes it out and talks about it, he will probably make Li Shimin unhappy and shoot himself in the foot.
"Father, I object to what my third brother said!"
"Although princes, princes, princesses, dukes, etc. are all the face of the imperial court, the people of the world are the foundation of our Tang Dynasty."
"As long as it violates the national law and harms the interests of the people, even if the emperor breaks the law, he is guilty of the same crime as the common people. How can he treat the national law as child's play just because of their reputation?"
"If it is true, as the third brother said, that to arrest someone you have to estimate the reputation of princes, princes, princesses, dukes, etc., what do the people of the world think? I am afraid that the Tang Dynasty will collapse at any time!"
Prince Li Chengqian suddenly stood up and said.
He is also young and a young man, but he is more powerful and mature than Li Ke.
After the words fell, a group of ministers stood up and seconded the proposal, including Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling.
For a time, the ministers in the court were divided into three groups.
One group supports Li Ke, and the other group supports Li Chengqian.
Another group of minorities are neutral, neither supporting nor opposing.
