Chapter 354 Gao Yang and King Jing (1)
Li Chengqian was sitting in the carriage back to Tai Chi Palace. Thinking of the scene of overwhelming officials in the hall just now made him feel a little fluttering.
None of the hundreds of civil and military ministers dared to stand up and oppose him, which made him more confident in future reforms.
I still don’t know that the aristocrats’ revenge on him are walking on the road.
--------------------------------
Supervising the Censor Wei Siqian's study.
"Bang"
"I'll die in time, and I will die together!"
This is the words of the people cursing Xia Jie recorded in "Shangshu Tang Oath". The word "Ri" refers to Xia Jie, which means: Xia Jie, why are you dead? I will die with you.
By the Tang Dynasty, Jie Xia had been dead for more than a thousand years, so Wei Siqian naturally could not curse Jie Xia. He quoted this sentence to curse Li Chengqian, who was acting rebelliously.
Wei Siqian's ancestors also came from the Wei family in Guanzhong. About two hundred years ago, his ancestors and the founding monarch of Liu Song went to the Southern Dynasty.
Later, ancestors of all generations worked as officials in the Southern Dynasties, and it was not until Wei Siqian's father that he became a minor official in the Tang Dynasty. For one or two hundred years, their family rarely interacted with the Wei clan members who lived in Guanzhong.
It was not until Wei Siqian took the Ming Jing exam the year before yesterday that he contacted the Wei family members of Guanzhong again.
Because Wei Siqian took the Ming Jingke Academy as the winner of the Guanzhong Wei family, the Guanzhong Wei family gave him great support.
First, he got a county magistrate for him and transferred him back to Chang'an to serve as the censor.
In history, he finally became prime minister with the help of Wei family in Guanzhong, but he was always inferior to Wu Zetian.
This promotion speed can be said to be a rocket promotion. You should know that Pei Xingjian, who came from Wenxi Pei's family in history, was the Minister of Rites of the Sui Dynasty, and also passed the Ming Jing exam. However, he was only given a Wannian County Magistrate who had been from the eighth-rank rank to the sixth-rank rank magistrate.
Wei Siqian got such a quick success and naturally had a great sense of belonging to the Wei family in Guanzhong, and regarded Wei Renzhao, the Minister of Personnel, as an elder.
This morning, Li Chengqian took Wei Renzhao and searched the house first and then interrogated it, which was extremely unreasonable and legal.
He almost burst into irritation in Wei Siqian's lungs. Even the yamen was too lazy to go, so he went home and locked himself in the study and had an attack.
After the incident, Wei Siqian began to write ink again. He wrote his dissatisfaction with Li Chengqian into an intense memorial, preparing to submit it to the court to leave his reputation for not fearing power.
Wei Siqian was most angry when he wrote the memorial. He walked out of the study and was about to go to the censorate to report, but he saw an old servant in his family hurried in.
Then he asked gloomy face: "Why are you so in a hurry?"
When the old servant heard this, he stopped and bowed, "Master Hui, the imperial chief Cao Huaitai Censor came to see him."
Wei Siqian's eyes flashed with disgust and directly ordered: "I'm about to go to the Censorate, so please ask Censor Cao and me to go there!"
Cao Huaitai was a small official without a family background and had been to the Censorate for half a lifetime. He had always flattered young people like Wei Siqian, and was therefore looked down upon by his colleagues in the Censorate.
"Mr. Cao said that this matter is related to the royal face, so you must immediately follow the Mr. "
"What's the face of the royal family?" The old servant was interrupted by Wei Siqian before he finished speaking.
"Um--"
After Wei Siqian said this, he wondered if the Li Tang royal family did something embarrassing?
He quickly asked the butler: "Have he said anything?"
When the old servant shook his head and whispered: "No."
I thought to myself that Cao Huaitai would not pass it on for him when he came again.
Wei Siqian thought for a while and said, "Take him here." He said that, and turned around and walked back to the study.
"Brother Siqian!"
As soon as Cao Huaitai entered the study, he saluted Wei Siqian with a smile on his face.
"Brother Cao, please sit down!" Wei Siqian bowed slightly and returned the favor.
As soon as Cao Huaitai sat down, he smiled mysteriously at Wei Siqian and said, "Brother Siqian, I will bring you good news today."
"What good news?" Wei Siqian was unmoved when he heard this.
"Today I tried a case of bandits, which was done by several wild monks in Fanyin Temple outside the city-"
Before Cao Huaitai finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wei Siqian with a cold snorting: "Li Chengqian did a rebellious act, which caused the monks to be displaced and caused the monks to be thieves. It was really hateful!"
Seeing this, Cao Huaitai smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to talk nonsense again and said, "That's true that all the great monks were persecuted by Li Chengqian, so these monks are not responsible for the thief." Speaking of this, Cao Huaitai still smiled habitually and looked at Wei Siqian obscenely and said:
Still lustful..."
Seeing this, Wei Siqian showed a look of disgust on his face and interrupted him coldly, "Okay! Don't talk about these things, I have something to do to go to Yashitai."
Wei Siqian said, and stood up and walked out. Cao Huaitai quickly stood up and stopped Wei Siqian and said, "Brother Siqian, don't you want to know whose face these wild monks are?"
"Brother Cao!" A layer of green aura flashed across Wei Siqian's face, obviously he was unwilling to discuss this issue with Cao Huaitai.
"Princess Gaoyang!"
"Hehe..." Cao Huaitai said that and smiled obscenely again.
Wei Siqian was stunned when he heard this, and after a while he gritted his teeth and said, "The Li royal family is so unbearable, but Li Chengqian dares to scold other people's ancestors for eight generations?"
Cao Huaitai looked at Wei Siqian with a smile and said, "If Brother Siqian is promoted, he is afraid that Li Chengqian will be blind, right?"
"That's right." Wei Siqian turned around and sat back when he heard this, and said to Cao Huaitai with a smile on his face: "Brother Cao, please sit down and talk slowly."
...
...
The pride of the gentry made Wei Siqian take no one seriously, and the gentry's worries also made people like Cao Huaitai take the initiative to post it.
Just as Wei Siqian was about to use Princess Gaoyang and the Wild Monk to make Li Chengqian look dull, other gentry officials in Chang'an City also took action.
Fang Xuanling of Fang Mansion was already ill. He was taken back to Chang'an from Lingzhou and stayed in the prison of the Ministry of Justice for more than two months. When he was released from prison, he met his mother's mourning. On the hot days, he wore heavy filial piety to burn paper in front of Ling every day. It was impossible for a person in his sixties or seventies to not be ill.
Fang Xuanling's eldest son Fang Yizhi was guarding his father for the spirit, and the errands were completely on Sanzifang Yizhi.
"Three Young Master, send someone to invite King Jing to Beijing!" Helan Chushi knelt on the opposite side of Fang Yize and said excitedly.
Fang Yize did not attend court, although he heard some of what Li Chengqian said in court, he was still a little worried. After all, if King Jing enters the capital without orders, he may be punished.
If King Jing is punished, those who participate in the rebellion will not end well.
"'If the heaven wants to perish, it will make it crazy." Li Chengqian's approach to the gentry has reached the extreme now, and the gentry officials will no longer be loyal to him. If His Highness Jing could not come to Chang'an as soon as possible, others would probably take the initiative first.
Fang Yize nodded when he heard this and said hesitantly: "Then I will send someone to send a letter to report the situation in Chang'an to my father-in-law."
--------------------------------
"Mr. Chai, I'm right!
Is this kid Li Chengqian's revenge still fierce?" Xue Wanche held Chai Lingwu and walked slowly in the main hall, saying a little proud while walking.
Chai Lingwu smiled and said with a smile on his face: "The general is right. Helan Chushi has asked Fang Sanlang to send a letter to His Highness King Jing. Please ask His Highness King Jing to enter Chang'an City as soon as possible and make trouble with the general."
Xue Wanche stopped hearing this, looked back at Chai Lingwu and said hesitantly: "Do you have to let King Jing enter the capital?"
Chai Lingwu said slowly when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the King of Wei, is the most talented, but unfortunately he has died at the hands of Li Chengqian. The other three in Chang'an are trapped by Li Chengqian in the Tai Chi Palace and cannot get out. Some are too far away and have little age and are not prestige enough..."
Xue Wanche sighed and continued to walk forward as he walked, saying quietly: "Your Majesty killed Prince Yin and King Qi before he ascended the throne. Now he has been imprisoned by Li Chengqian again, which is also a retribution."
Xue Wanche has always had a resentment towards Li Shimin.
