Datang Nongwang

Chapter 779
Li Chongyuan was dissatisfied.

When Li Chongyuan was dissatisfied, whether he spoke in a good voice or in tone, they were full of anger.

This also made Li Shimin even more unhappy when he heard it.

How can an emperor, after hearing something, happily accept a courtier and reply with anger.

Don't talk about the emperor, even a certain Shangguan didn't want to hear such a response from his subordinates.

But Li Chongyuan is such a person, and Li Shimin has nothing to do with Li Chongyuan.

You can't dismiss Li Chongyuan from his post or demote Li Chongyuan's title just because of some indeterminate tone of voice or anger in his heart.

Moreover.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan is a piece of cake in Li Shimin's eyes, and he will not really punish Li Chongyuan.

Even if Li Chongyuan beat the Taicang official for no reason, Li Shimin would not really do anything to Li Chongyuan, at most he would reprimand him a few words.

but.

At this moment, Li Chongyuan responded to Li Shimin so angrily in front of several important officials. Li Shimin felt that he had lost face, and felt even more unhappy, wanting to shout and scold him twice.

But right now.

Fang Xuanling, who was standing on the side, spoke first, "Li Chongyuan, what evidence do you have to prove that the officials of the Taicang Administration are corrupt and perverting the law? You have no evidence, and you have sent Marquis Wu to control the officials of the Taicang Administration. , and even the official's butler was also arrested, is this the prestige of your first appointment as Secretary of the Si Nong Temple!"

"Hehe!!! Fang Xuanling, don't rely on your elders. Although you are the prime minister, you can't control my Sinong Temple. The minister of this temple is handling the affairs of our Sinong Temple. When is it your turn to point fingers. And what is your Fang Xuanling's housekeeper? He has no official position, so what qualifications does he have to break into our Taicang office? Is it because he is your Fang Xuanling's housekeeper?" Li Chongyuan said when he saw Fang Xuanling , sneered.

Li Chongyuan originally thought that Fang Xuanling would never speak on this matter.

After all, his Fang Xuanling's housekeeper, Fang Ping, went to the Taicang Office, which violated the official system, so Fang Xuanling should avoid suspicion.

But Li Chongyuan never expected that Fang Xuanling would intervene in this.

Li Chongyuan is happy.

As long as Fang Xuanling said something and intervened, Li Chongyuan believed that if Li Shimin's eyes and ears were not faulty, Fang Xuanling would definitely be involved in the corruption and perversion of the law by the officials of the Taicang Department.

As long as Fang Xuanling is involved in this matter, Li Chongyuan believes that Li Shimin will definitely snub Fang Xuanling.

Unless, Li Shimin has no one to use him, it must be Fang Xuanling.

Li Chongyuan sneered, making the eldest grandson Wuji who was standing on the side unable to listen any longer, and shouted: "Li Chongyuan, don't be presumptuous. The Prime Minister and your father are of the same generation, and you, a junior, should call him Uncle Fang, even if you don't If you call him uncle, you should also address him as an official. It is not proper for you to call him by his first name. The housekeeper of Liang Guogong's mansion also went to the Taicang office after being instructed by the house minister. You arrested someone for no reason and then injured him, don’t you know you’re wrong? In front of the Holy One, you have to confess your mistake to Mrs. Fang, and just expose the matter.”

"Damn. If I want to call him Fang Xuanling, I'm afraid my mother will scold me for three days and three nights. We all serve as officials in the same dynasty, and no one is inferior to anyone, and no one is more expensive than anyone. Why? He, Fang Xuanling, can call me by my first name, but I, Li Chongyuan, can’t call him by my first name? Is it your Zhao Guogong’s rule, or are you Zhao Guogong and Fang Xuanling just talking about each other?”

"Duke Zhao said that this matter was exposed just now? Hahahaha. Your Majesty, did you hear that? The two dukes insisted on meddling in the affairs of our Sinong Temple, and they also said that this matter is a trivial matter, just expose it. Corruption Breaking the law, according to the law of our dynasty, he lost his family, dismissed his official position, and distributed him for three thousand miles. Could it be that such a big matter can be reduced to a small one based on the words of the two princes of the dynasty? It's people like this who make the decisions, so I, Li Chongyuan, would rather not be an official." Li Chongyuan laughed.

This matter has nothing to do with his eldest grandson Wuji.

But Changsun Wuji interrupted suddenly, which made Li Chongyuan think of something.

If Changsun Wuji wanted to intervene, the Dao Dao inside would not be able to be broken with just a few words.

Li Chongyuan can be sure.

In this Taicang office, there must be someone who is the eldest grandson Wuji.

Otherwise, why would his eldest grandson Wuji stand up and speak for Fang Xuanling? Is it to prove himself?Or do you want to hit Li Chongyuan?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

When Li Chongyuan stopped talking, Changsun Wuji was so angry that his eyes spit fire from Li Chongyuan's words, as if he was about to eat Li Chongyuan.

On the other hand, Fang Xuanling was very quiet at the moment, didn't say a word, didn't seem to have any expression, and didn't rush to speak.

Li Chongyuan looked at Fang Xuanling's appearance, like an angry little daughter-in-law.

After listening to the three people's words, Li Shimin became confused at the moment, "Li Chongyuan, you just said that the officials of the Taicang Department were corrupt and broke the law, and more than [-] bolts of coarse cloth were corrupted by more than [-] bolts. Is this true? Is there any evidence? "

Although Li Shimin was confused by the three people's words, he also knew that it was about corruption and perverting the law, so he got back to justice quickly.

"Of course. But I need time to check the account books." Li Chongyuan replied.

As soon as Changsun Wuji heard that Li Chongyuan needed time to verify the account books, he immediately rushed to say: "Before the accounts were checked, you beat the subordinate officials and arrested others to injure them. It seems that you have no real evidence, and you just concluded that the officials of the Taicang Department have A person who is corrupt and perverts the law. Li Chongyuan, your inconsistency in what you said before and after what you said is even more abhorrent. Your Majesty, I request that he be temporarily resigned from Li Chongyuan's position as Secretary of Sinong Temple, and the court will send someone Go check the account books to prove the innocence of the officials of the Taicang Department."

"Your Majesty, I second the proposal." Fang Xuanling, who didn't talk too much, suddenly heard the words of Changsun Wuji, and immediately seconded the proposal.

When Changsun Wuji said that, Fang Xuanling was of course delighted.

As long as they are members of the imperial court, they are not afraid to find out any problems.

Cheng Yaojin, who stood by the side without saying a word, remained silent.

Even though the two princes reached a consensus, Cheng Yaojin still didn't speak, and stood there quietly, like an outsider.

After Li Chongyuan heard what Changsun Wuji said, he immediately retorted: "Your Majesty, I do not agree. The Taicang Office belongs to our Si Nong Temple. Even if they sent people to check again this year, it would be the same as in previous years. Furthermore, the minister has already started the self-check, and just this morning, the coarse cloth of Shannan Road was checked. There are differences between items coming in and out. You only need to give me five days, and I will put all kinds of evidence in front of the Holy Majesty's case."

If you want to seize power, there is no door.

When is it someone else's turn to call the shots on your own territory.

Li Chongyuan would not agree with such an opinion, and would definitely strongly oppose it.

Even if Li Chongyuan's objection was invalid, Li Chongyuan didn't want people in the court to investigate. Li Chongyuan believed in Wang Li or the servants in the palace to investigate.

The imperial court has been investigating for seven or eight years, and there is no problem every year.

But the person who brought him found out the problem in just one morning. It can be seen that the water here is very deep, so deep that Li Chongyuan suspected that the lack of income from the Taicang Office must have something to do with many people in the court.

After Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling heard this, they sneered, "The imperial court sends people to check every year, and it takes more than ten days for dozens of people to check. You, Li Chongyuan, only sent more than ten people, and it took a whole morning to check. Is there a problem? The problem you mentioned is probably not something you made up yourself. Your Majesty, I still advocate that the imperial court send people to the Taicang Office for verification. After all, the various incomes of the Taicang Office are related to the salaries of the officials in Beijing. If so If it is missing, it will definitely cause shock in the court, please think twice."

"My minister seconded the proposal." Fang Xuanling seconded the proposal again.

Li Shimin was in a dilemma.

He really agrees with Li Chongyuan's approach in his heart, but he can't chill the hearts of his brother-in-law and his trusted Fang Xuanling.

Li Shimin was in a dilemma, frowning, not knowing how to make this decision.

Li Chongyuan looked at it, feeling very anxious, and quickly said: "Your Majesty, since I, the Minister of Si Nong Temple, cannot lead the affairs of this yamen, then I, Li Chongyuan, request to resign."

"Presumptuous! In this world, when it is your turn to resign, you will resign. If you say this again, you will definitely not let me go." Li Shimin was slightly angry when he heard Li Chongyuan said that he would resign.

In fact, Li Shimin also knew that Li Chongyuan was forcing him to resign.

Li Chongyuan didn't care at the moment, and said again: "Then Sinong Temple will conduct a self-inspection first, and then send someone to verify. However, I hope that the person who inspects is someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, otherwise, I would rather be sent to you by the Holy Spirit." I was dismissed from official positions and titles, and I don’t want to serve as officials in the same court as these corrupt and perverted people, and those who sheltered these corrupt and perverted people at large, and ignored my laws and regulations. I am afraid that my reputation will be dirty, and I am so disgusted. I can't eat or sleep, and I'm even more afraid of being scolded by the peasants and people all over the world, and even more afraid of the notoriety of Li Chongyuan recorded in history."

Li Chongyuan has become determined after eating the weight.

Li Chongyuan's words were really too radical.

No, what Li Chongyuan said directly made Li Shimin angry.

"You are presumptuous!" Li Shimin jumped up in a rage, pointed at Li Chongyuan angrily, wishing he could slap Li Chongyuan to death.

Seeing this, Cheng Yaojin quickly approached Li Shimin and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry. Li Chongyuan has this kind of temper, which is more straightforward than old Cheng's. The child is young and full of energy, and he is a newcomer. The chief official of the temple doesn't know how to be an official. Your Majesty, I will teach him a lesson after a while."

"That's all, that's all. Wang Li, I want you to lead someone to supervise Li Chongyuan to conduct a self-examination at Sinong Temple." Li Shimin lost his temper because of Li Chongyuan's temper, so he gave Wang Li a verbal order.

Wang Li replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Shimin's words were confessed to Li Chongyuan.

And his confession made Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling feel flustered at the same moment.

"Your Majesty, no. Since ancient times, there have been no servants who have gone to check. Once the head is opened, where will the court officials be? At that time, the official system will be chaotic and the cart before the horse. Please take it back." Changsun Wuji thought in his heart. As soon as he panicked, he immediately jumped out to object.

At the same time, Fang Xuanling also expressed his objection, "Your Majesty, this head cannot be opened. Has Your Majesty forgotten that if eunuchs interfere with the government, then what is the difference between our dynasty and the Han Dynasty? In my opinion, it is better to follow the order and let the emperor Shitai went to check."

The two stood up to oppose Li Shimin's oral order, which made Li Chongyuan guess that the affairs of the Taicang Office must be related to the two of them.

and.

Li Chongyuan was even more certain that many of the officials in Sinong Temple must belong to the two of them.

Li Chongyuan very much agreed with Wang Li to take people to check.

At least, although Wang Li was an eunuch, he belonged to Li Shimin.

What's more, the eunuch can't reach the point of intervening in politics at the moment. After all, Li Shimin is not dead yet, and the Tang Dynasty has not yet reached the middle and late period. The eunuchs just follow orders and do not have military power. no.

"I agree with the Holy Majesty's will, so Director Wang will take people to our Sinong Temple for inspection. But in order to avoid suspicion, I think that Director Wang and the others don't need to check, and our Sinon Temple will still conduct self-inspection. Director Wang and the others are only for supervision. , to show justice. In this way, the eunuch did not intervene in politics, nor did he humiliate the imperial power, and the two are on par." Li Chongyuan would not let Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling get their wish, and directly found a compromise Come.

Eunuchs do not check or supervise, but only supervise.

As soon as Li Chongyuan's proposal came out, Li Shimin nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's very good. Zhao Guogong, Liang Guogong, do you have any comments?"

When Changsun Wuji and Fang Xuanling saw Li Shimin, they said that it was very good. They already knew that they had no choice but to bow their bodies and salute.

"Since there is no opinion, then Wang Li will lead the [-] forbidden troops to cooperate with Li Chongyuan to investigate the affairs of the various departments and supervisors of the Si Nong Temple. Lu Guogong, you will send [-] soldiers to cooperate." Li Shimin saw that the two had no opinion, He issued another oral order.

Cheng Yaojin listened for a long time, and finally it was his turn to play, and immediately said happily: "Yes, my lord, old Cheng, I will go to recruit troops."

evening.

Li Chongyuan left the palace satisfied, and went to Taicang Office with Wang Li.

Wang Lizun and Li Shimin ordered him to take a large number of forbidden troops, each of them going his own way, and went to the various prisons that Li Chongyuan had confessed.

Self-examination, of course it is impossible to only check the Taicang Department.

In addition to the Taicang Office, Sinong Temple also has many supervisors, so it is natural to investigate.

Just at this time, the yamen have not yet reached the time to go down to the yamen, and they can still be controlled.

After receiving Li Chongyuan's instructions, all the imperial guards separated and headed for the prisons.

Soon.

Cheng Yaojin appointed his son and led five hundred soldiers to cooperate.

The officials of Sinong Temple suddenly saw the soldiers of the Forbidden Army appearing, and they were told not to return home for several days, they were frightened by the battle and were at a loss.

Even the Forbidden Army appeared, and anyone could have guessed that something must have happened, and it was a big deal.

All the petty officials, the servants and the others, were running around like headless flies, trying to find a way to run.

Officials and others who had something to do with themselves were even more frightened and at a loss, thinking of looking for friends and visiting friends.

But under such circumstances, it is useless for anyone to think of an idea, because the forbidden army has spoken, everyone has to gather together, and if anyone has tampered with it, take it down immediately.

What's more, the forbidden army even made a statement, which is the will of the Holy One.
