Chapter 798 The three important officials have fallen one after another

As soon as many people have the power, they will inevitably expand and become rampant over time. This is true for Zhang Quanyi.

On the one hand, I thought I was in my fifties, but I was far from retiring to the second line. I should consider retiring and enjoying a peaceful life. However, on the other hand, I have become accustomed to being generous in clothing and food all day long, and Zhang Quanyi no longer has the same sense of crisis as before. He regards himself as a noble and noble official, and is no longer as he did as he used to do it himself, and even went to another extreme...

Seeing Zhang Quanyi lying on the ground, shaking like a sieve, hesitating and unable to hear what he was lying. Li Tianqu looked down on his eyes and said coldly:

"You regret now, it is not because you are pretentious, falsely slandering officials, lazy and lazy government, and foolish and misleading the country. You just wish you were not careful enough to find out your evidence.

Since you dare to do something unscrupulously, you will not be able to stand in the court. But you ask me to consider my past achievements and spare your life and not kill me. Good! Just think about the old friendship, I will not cure your death penalty, but from now on, don’t expect to have any connection with fame, wealth and wealth..."

Li Tianqu personally issued an edict to strip Zhang Quanyi of his official position and his salary and demoted him to a commoner. All his property and private property were confiscated and included in the state treasury. However, under the rule of Yicheng Army, Zhang Quanyi, as a staff member under Li Tianqu, had first reclaimed wasteland, recruited refugees, and managed agriculture. Li Tianqu also set up a farmhouse, which was enough for Zhang Quanyi and his family to survive.

However, given Zhang Quanyi's previous identity, he can only be a landlord who is not a big business. The manor is close to a local military department, and his access is also restricted. He stepped down, but at least he saved his life.

Originally ranked in the ruling class of the Wei Dynasty, but once he lost all his fame and fortune. Zhang Quanyi, who was in a state of disgrace, had to let Li Tianqu arrange and was escorted to Zhengzhou to stay in the countryside with his family and relatives for the rest of his life. However, compared to his attitude of only pleading guilty and accepting punishment, Li Zhen, a powerful minister who was scolded by the Tang Dynasty's ministers as "the owl" in official history, did not intend to accept his fate.

He was escorted to the inner court to accept Li Tianqu’s face-to-face questioning. Li Zhen still used his verbal benefits to admit that he had committed some of the acts of bribing his close ministers and forming a private party. He then played the emotional card in tears, begging Li Tianqu to think that he could make up for his own merits in the court, and that he would never dare to try to cultivate his party members and suppress dissidents and disrupt the court's principles.

But Li Zhen is a ruthless man, and he is even more a villain. He judges a gentleman with his villain's heart. When Wei Zhuang learned that Li Tianqu was a fraud and planned to attack his mortal enemy, Li Zhenzhi, he still felt something was wrong and advised him. But now Li Zhen is arrested and imprisoned, and immediately thought that since the emperor thoroughly investigated his crime, it must be because the old man Wei Zhuang, who was in charge of the Censorate, interfered with it...

He had nowhere to vent his resentment. When Li Zhenda was performing a bitter scene, he still couldn't help but imply that he was also plotted by the political enemies in the court. When it comes to several names, Li Tianqu also keenly captured a bit of hideous and fierce look from his eyes.

After all, Li Zhen is vicious and vicious, and he will revenge him. If anyone offended him, he will definitely keep it in his heart and deliberately plan to retaliate, which will destroy the other party's family... This also made Li Tianqu wonder if I have issued an order to deal with him, but will it be considered as completely offending this guy?

Because he failed the imperial examination for several years, he wanted to massacre all the officials and ministers of the imperial court, and even the imperial family members of the Tang court. Li Tianqu knew that Li Zhen used to work hard for him and was completely driven by interests. But now that he wanted to take back all the power and wealth he had, Li Zhen's hatred for the Wei Dynasty was probably much greater than that of the Tang court.

So he didn't want to see Li Zhen continue to play. Li Tianqu ordered the guards to drag him out of the palace again. After investigation, he found that when the court was providing relief for floods and droughts, he also sent minions to arrange the charges of following the law of the prince, having an affair with grain merchants and wealthy people, and having a graveyard to hang out of the grain. Many officials who refused to surrender to his name, but the local authorities mentioned that the Criminal Prison Department had some relationship with Li Zhen's party members...

Once these crimes were exposed, it was even more impossible for Li Tianqu to spare Li Zhen. He issued an order to give Li Zhen a pot of poisoned wine and ordered Li Zhen to drink it in prison. Although the death penalty was hard to spare, leaving him a whole body could be regarded as a way to make this founding hero of the Wei Dynasty more decent.

That night, although Li Zhen resisted desperately, he still cried and wanted to meet Li Tianqu beg for work, but he was held back by several big-sleeved and round-waisted Junjian. He forced him to drink a pot of poisonous wine. Under the witness of the eunuch Xuanzhi, after confirming that Li Zhen had died, he immediately returned to the palace and reported to Li Tianqu.

After Zhang Quanyi and Li Zhen, Gao Yu, who was originally in charge of the financial power of the Wei Dynasty, was arrested and imprisoned, and then escorted to the palace to be questioned by Li Tianqu, he was already covered in white hair, obviously because he was unable to bear it because of the huge blow.

After all, Gao Yu is good at managing finances, but he is greedy and loves money as much as his life. After gaining power, he is even more arrogant and arrogant... If wealth and power are lost all over, it is tantamount to taking his life. When Li Tianqu invites him to see him, he stares at Gao Yu, who is lying on the ground and is stunned, and immediately said in a deep voice:

"At the time of Emperor Daizong of the Tang Dynasty, a capable minister Yuan Zai served as the assistant minister for fifteen years. He served as the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and the Transfer of the Transport of All Traffics. He was also famous for his good financial management. He also eradicated the eunuch party and other eunuchs and other eunuchs, and was deeply favored by Emperor Daizong.

However, relying on his holy favor, Na Yuanzai was proud and took charge of the government. Not only did he eliminate dissidents, he was domineering, but he also specialized in private property and built a large number of construction to make money. However, Daizong thought of his past achievements in Yuanzai, and wanted to ensure that he had a good start and end, so he deliberately summoned him and advised him in hopes that he could restrain himself... Yuanzai did not want to make a mistake, and still relied on power for personal gain. Finally, he angered the emperor and issued an edict to execute his entire family. All his followers were demoted, and even dug up the tombs of his ancestors, opened the coffin and chopped the corpse to serve as a warning to others.

You are as good as Na Yuanzai in charge of finance, but how similar are you? I have also hinted to you in the past to restrain your behavior. Even though you know that you used your power for personal gain, I remember that you were a vassal state and later opened up a wealth for the country. I also turned a blind eye to you... But even if you have learned from the past, you still have powerful officials who are not greedy and will eventually perish themselves. But ask yourself, have you given you a chance to stop?"

Gao Yu, who was originally unconscious, heard Li Tianqu compare him with a poor boy from a poor family in the Tang Dynasty. He then climbed to the top power of the court step by step with his own power-making methods. However, because he was ruling power, he was not sure of constraining his money, and he compared the powerful minister Yuan Zai, who was killed by the emperor. He also heard "the whole family was executed, the ancestors were tombs, and the coffin was opened to chop the corpse"... These words were shocked that he couldn't help but shocked. After a moment, he asked weakly:

"The criminal minister was confused by the profit and was obsessed with money. He deserved to die, and he did not dare to ask for forgiveness... It was just that His Majesty used to compare the ministers with the ministers, but he also wanted to punish Tang Tingyuanzai for his family and to punish the death penalty for his death?"

Gao Yu asked at the end, his voice trembled a little. Li Tianqu snorted coldly when he heard this, and then said in a deep voice:

"You know you're afraid now? If you had known this, why should you have been? It is said that you are greedy for money and bribes and cultivate your confidants. If you do business with money, taxes and government affairs, you arrange your followers and use your power for personal gain, and you must not collude with local gentry, which will lead to the prevalence of corruption.

Until now, you have not yet settled the family property and private wealth you have accumulated through autocracy and corruption, but it is long enough to convict your death penalty! However, the evidence of using your power to accept stolen goods and private parties to form cliques is conclusive, but it is not like the Tang Dynasty Yuan Zai who retained official positions and killed officials.

Therefore, the crime is not as good as the wife and children, and the family is young, and the family is ancestors. The Gao family is full, except for the relevant personnel involved in the case, I only need one of you to admit your guilt and be punished to rectify the country’s law!”
