Chapter 56 Storm
It was clearly the spring moon, but the atmosphere in Zichen Palace seemed to be in the harsh winter.
It was so cold that the soul almost freezes.
And the source of all the cold comes from Emperor Tang, His Majesty Tian Khan, and His Majesty Li Zhi.
This gentle-looking emperor, his fat face and eyes narrowed slightly, and the occasional light shines, showing that his heart is in a fierce struggle.
Time passes minute by minute.
Just when Su Dawei thought that Li Zhi would remain silent like this.
He finally heard Li Zhi speak out and ask, "Who else knows about this?"
"Return to Your Majesty, I found out about this last night and immediately reported it back and forth to Your Majesty, no one else knew about it."
Li Zhi was silent again.
The eunuchs and palace maids around were trembling one by one.
Even the officials who recorded the emperor's daily notes could not help but tremble when they wrote the file.
The content of Su Dawei's conversation with Li Zhi at this time is quite impressive.
This is likely to cause another stir in a stable court, and even change the political situation of Li Zhichao during the Linde period.
I don’t know how many people will fall into the ground, and how many senior officials and clans will fall into dust.
Also, how many of these people in Zichen Palace can survive today?
Silence?
It is a convention for some people who do not want to spread the word of the foreign court to selectively remove a group of eunuchs and palace maids around them.
It's like cleaning a house and changing a batch of furniture.
The entire hall can be heard by the needles.
The rapid breathing of countless people and the wild heartbeats were covered in a dead silence.
"How many armors?"
Li Zhi finally spoke again.
“Seven.”
Su Dawei's answer made Li Zhi's fingers stutter slightly, and he stopped the action of stroking him on the support.
Seven pieces, less is said, but more is not considered too much.
If there are two or three, then there is no big threat.
If there are more than ten, there will be no mercy.
These seven pieces just happened to be stuck in the middle.
And Li Zhi also had a doubt, could someone blame Li Yi’s house for being dirty?
Apart from Li Yi’s Mansion, who can benefit?
What changes will happen to the balance of power in the court?
He was thinking.
As for Su Dawei, he didn't doubt his intentions.
Even this conversation has not been mentioned, "Why did you, Su Dawei, visit the Zhongshu Ling Mansion at night?"
Both sides know this problem well.
If you ask, you will lose the wrong way.
Su Dawei knew that through the information from Ducha Temple, Li Zhi told Su Dawei that the emperor wanted to re-dividate the power of Ducha Temple and to weaken and rebalance.
Therefore, Su Dawei naturally had resentment towards Li Yifu.
Although it is unreasonable to take action against Li Yifu, it is reasonable.
And Su Dawei also knew that Li Zhi knew about this situation.
So the two sides had a very tacit understanding and did not mention this.
Although Li Zhi was guarding against Su Dawei, this was based on the emperor's mentality and did not really doubt Su Dawei's loyalty to the emperor.
Otherwise, Su Dawei would not have been given the opportunity again and again, so that Su Dawei could make repeated military achievements on the battlefield.
As for Li Yifu, Su Dawei had a motive to investigate the incident, but no motive to blame him.
Facing the court's Central Secretariat not only underestimated Li Yi's mansion, but also insulted Li Zhi's IQ.
However, this cannot be ruled out whether there are other forces or individuals in the court who want to get rid of Li Yi’s mansion.
After all, as Li Zhi's white gloves, Li Yifu has acted recklessly over the years and has offended too many people.
Such ministers are lonely ministers. Once they lose power, they will fall down and push them, break the drums and beat them, and there will be no place to die.
"I know this."
Li Zhi said slowly and solemnly: "Su Dawei, do you have any other important things to report?"
Su Dawei was shocked.
There was a clear hint of alienation in His Majesty's words. Did he become suspicious of me?
But soon, Su Dawei reacted.
Li Zhi’s failure to express his opinion is his biggest attitude.
This case is quite a bit of a mystery.
Li Zhi will definitely investigate, but he will never let Ducha Temple intervene again.
Moreover, this time, Su Dawei led the Tianzi Group of Ducha Temple and sneaked into Li Yi's mansion without obtaining Li Zhi's decree, which has aroused Li Zhi's vigilance.
So next, Li Zhi's backup plan for Ducha Temple may even be ahead of schedule.
Prevent the further expansion of the power of Ducha Temple.
Focus on preventing Su Dawei from expanding his influence.
As for the matter of Li Yi's mansion's hidden auspicious pillows and Jinbao divine pillows, Li Zhi would arrange other important officials to investigate, and he would inevitably find out the truth.
Although the current emperor leaves a stereotype of "cowardly" and "kindness" for future generations.
But in the era, Su Dawei knew very well that Li Zhi was smart and powerful.
This emperor couldn't rub a grain of sand in his eyes.
There are so many things in the Tang Dynasty, which one can escape the eyes of His Majesty.
"Ami, do you think Li Yifu is related to Gao Yang's case?"
Li Zhi suddenly spoke, which made Su Dawei stunned.
He thought for a while and said, "I dare not speak nonsense, but Baozil was originally a personal belonging to the princess, and it was also involved in the witch curse. Several monks from Dacien Temple know about these things."
"I understand."
Li Zhi patted the handrail: "You continue to investigate Gao Yang's case, don't be distracted by anything else."
"yes."
Su Dawei thought to himself: It was indeed as he thought.
As long as Li Zhi became suspicious of Li Yi’s mansion, his trip to the palace today would not be in vain.
The goal has been completed most of the time.
I guess Li Zhi should be tired of it. Just as Su Dawei was about to know the truth, he took the initiative to say goodbye and leave.
I heard a little eunuch standing outside the hall singing: "I will call you to Your Majesty, and the Minister of the East Taiwan asked for a visit."
Li Zhi raised his hand and waved it to the side. He was about to make Su Dawei retreat, but suddenly changed his mind: "Su Dawei, wait aside, your ears are upright and your mouth is closed."
"Here."
Su Dawei didn't know what Li Zhi thought.
But since he was ordered to wait, he obediently walked to the side of the hall, with his back facing a large red painted pillar, and stood with his hands down.
Just like the eunuchs and palace maids who served in the hall, they looked at their noses and their noses, and they stopped making a sound.
Li Zhi reached out to signal, and Wang Fusheng, who was standing beside him, said loudly: "Tell me to see the Minister of the East Taiwan."
While saying that, he quietly raised his sleeves and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Outside the main hall.
Dongtai Minister Hao Chujun stood silently.
His face was firm and his eyes were bright.
Although he was covered in silver silk, he still seemed to be strong and did not dare to look down on him.
Hearing the sound of summoning came from the hall, Hao Chujun sorted out his official uniform, held the tablet in both hands, and walked into the hall with square steps.
"I, Hao Chujun, the Minister of the East Taiwan, please see Your Majesty."
Hao Chujun stood in the hall, holding a tablet in his hands, and saluted Li Zhi solemnly.
"No gift."
Li Zhixu raised his right hand: "The Minister of the Dongtai asked for a meeting, but is there any important matter?"
"There is indeed one thing that I can't make up my mind, so I ask you to see Your Majesty."
Hao Chujun finished speaking.
Li Zhi couldn't help but look at Su Dawei who was standing on the side of the hall.
The look at this glance was a bit complicated.
There is a meaning of "like you".
Another type of thing is, "Don't you know everything about Ducha Temple? Do you know what the Minister of the East Taiwan is for?"
These emotions.
Su Dawei stood there, thinking quickly.
But on the face, he was very serious, with a expressionless face as if he was Li Siwen at the time.
He understood Li Zhi's wink.
But he understood better what Li Zhi meant by asking him to keep his ears and shut up.
See more, don't say anything.
A true gentleman who does not speak for himself.
It is not the day when the grand court meeting, and it is necessary that important matters are important for the important officials in the court to suddenly ask for a meeting.
Sure enough, after getting Li Zhi's approval, Hao Chujun solemnly said: "I have received several important memorials this time. These memorials are all involved in the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat's greed and abuse of power. The people are very resentful. I dare not be good at it. Please ask Your Majesty to observe it."
As he said that, he took out a few memorials from his sleeves and presented them with both hands.
The eunuch Wang Fusheng carefully glanced at Li Zhi's expression.
At this time, Li Zhi's expression was just expressionless.
Not long ago, when Su Dawei talked about the Li Yi Mansion, Li Zhi was abnormally serious and even indifferent.
But until now, it is calm.
This is still abnormal.
The Minister of the Dongtai was responsible for reviewing the memorials of the court officials and reviewing the edicts of the Secretariat. If anyone thinks it is inappropriate, it can be rejected, called "sealing" and is a deliberate body.
Therefore, when Hao Chujun received the memorandum handed over by the ministers below, he was responsible for deliberation. If he encountered major problems, he could report it directly to Li Zhi.
His arrival is within his post.
Not surprisingly.
It’s strange that the time node is so good. It happened that Su Dawei finished talking about Li Yi Mansion, and the Minister of the East Taiwan came to hand over the letter of impeachment of Li Yi Mansion.
Is there such a coincidence in the world?
According to Li Zhi's personality, he must be suspicious.
But now, he had no expression on his face, and was terriblely calm.
Li Zhi's fingers moved slightly.
Wang Fusheng, who knew him well, quickly bowed and nodded, then walked down quickly, walked to Hao Chujun, took the memorial, and then stepped up quickly, placing the memorial on the table in front of Li Zhi.
"His Majesty."
"read."
Wang Fusheng nodded quickly and reached out to reveal the first memorial.
At first glance, his body seemed to shake slightly, licked his lips, and whispered: "Yang Xingying, the military officer of the Right Jinwu Cang, reported to Li Yi Mansion, saying: Li Yi Mansion asked Changsun Yan, the grandson of Changsun Wuji, to obtain 700 stakes and be awarded the position of Sijin Supervisor."
"The counselor impeached Li Yi's mansion and occupied two hundred hectares of land outside Chang'an City..."
"The Minister of Western Taiwan impeached Li Yifu, presided over the election, and sold it privately..."
Selection refers to the official selection system.
Officials above the fifth rank of the Tang Dynasty were appointed by the emperor. In addition to Guan Wailang, Censor and Consecrated officials, civil servants were from the Ministry of Personnel and military officers, and after passing the examination according to regulations, they were appointed as officials, which was called the Selection.
Now, Li Zhi handed over the power of the election to Li Yi Mansion.
That is, for the promotion and appointment of personnel among officials in the Tang Dynasty, Li Yifu took charge of the direction and only needed to report the results to Li Zhi.
Is there any room for private fraud here?
Absolutely there.
At the end of last year, Li Zhi heard the news and talked to Li Yifu in private, reminding him to be restrained.
But judging from the current events, Li Yifu not only did not listen, but became even worse.
Su Dawei noticed that every time Wang Fusheng recited, Li Zhi's face became ugly.
But a more terrifying impeachment memorial was read out with Wang Fusheng's mouth.
"The Minister of Western Taiwan impeached the Secretary of the Secretariat Li Yi's Mansion, and the mansion asked the sorcerer Du Yuanji to look at the air."
Knock!
Chapter completed!
