The daily life of Dali Siqing

Chapter 673 Calm
The rain poured down and poured down.

It seems that the sky is also sad.

Yu Yanyi committed suicide on the execution platform, no matter what Cao Shouzheng ordered, the executioners around him were indifferent, and none of them wanted to hurt his body.

Cao Shouzheng had no choice but to let people confirm that Yu Yanyi was completely dead, and then took him away.

The crowd gradually dispersed, only a few people refused to leave in the heavy rain.

Yang Qingyuan, who was always in the rain, slowly walked up to the execution platform and knelt down in front of Yu Yanyi.

There is gold under the man's knees, but the kings and teachers of heaven and earth can kneel!
Although Yu Yanyi and Yang Qingyuan were not known as masters and apprentices, Yu Yanyi taught Yang Qingyuan a lot.

His strong character and character had such a great influence on Yang Qingyuan that it is difficult to express it in words.

Yu Yanyi left his noble and righteous spirit to Han Sumi to help her see clearly that her heart has crossed the barrier of life and death for 13 years, and the realm of law, heaven and earth.

He passed on his character and heart to Yang Qingyuan.

For thousands of years, you should engrave its name with Qingshi seal!
Seeing that Yang Qingyuan wanted to collect Yu Yanyi's body, the Xichang Fanzi on the side stepped forward to stop him.

"This is a treason by the court, you..." Fanzi couldn't continue.

Yang Qingyuan has always been as gentle as jade to the outside world, but at this moment his eyes are sharper than Jianfeng.

"..."

Just looking at Fanzi from Xichang, Yang Qingyuan lowered his head. At this moment, Yang Qingyuan was surrounded by a faint white light, just like Yu Yanyi that day.

Within three feet, no drop of water enters.

It's raining all over the sky, like meeting a god.

Yang Qingyuan carefully packed the description for Yu Yanyi, and then put his remains in the prepared coffin.

Sinners like Yu Yanyi who were punished for treason and whose relatives were exiled were originally not allowed to be collected for him.

It is time to expose his corpse to the wilderness and bury it in a mass grave.

Those who are more ruthless, like Empress Zetian, are broken into meat and thrown into the mountains to feed the wolves.

But now Yang Qingyuan not only wanted to collect Yu Yanyi's body, but also put it in the coffin for burial.This is blatantly disobeying the holy order and slapping Zhu Zhankun and the court in the face!

Immediately, someone went to the Ministry of Punishment to sue Yang Qingyuan.

Even if you reach Yu Yanyi's level, it's impossible for everyone in the world to love you.

When Yu Yanyi was Minister of the Ministry of War, he once presided over the adaptation of the Twelve Guards and tracked down many people who were paid for nothing.

After serving as a cabinet bachelor, many decrees also harmed the interests of some people.

Naturally, they were willing to see Yu Yanyi's death. Death alone was not enough to relieve their anger. It would be best if they could tear him into pieces.

Originally, no one restrained Yu Yanyi's corpse, so they could vent their anger. As a result, Yu Yanyi's corpse was restrained by Yang Qingyuan, and Yang Qingyuan was a member of Yu Yanyi's family in their eyes, so they naturally wanted to deal with Yang Qingyuan .

But the current Yang Qingyuan is not something they can deal with.

There is no need to discuss Yang Qingyuan's power in the military, nor his civilian faction.

The Dali Temple alone is not something these rats in the gutter can deal with.

The reason why the mice in the gutter are mice, isn't it because they die when they see the light? !
In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Cao Shouzheng rubbed his head with a headache while listening to his subordinates' report.

"What do you mean by telling me?!"

The doctor of the Ministry of Justice blinked his eyes, "Master Shangshu, this Yang Qingyuan is provoking the majesty of the court!? Isn't this clearly saying that His Majesty settled the wrong case with you?!"

Cao Shouzheng rolled his eyes, "Didn't he always clearly oppose this case?!"

The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.

Cao Shouzheng also knew in his heart what happened to the so-called Yu Yanyi.

Zhu Zhankun is Song Gaozong, and Li Hongyi is against Qin Huizhi, so he is Wan Qi Xie (mò qí Xiè).

The case of Yu Yanyi was decided by Zhu Zhankun and planned by Li Hongyi, but he committed the crime.

"Then we don't care about it?!" The doctor of the Ministry of punishment was anxious, he had accepted someone before, if the matter didn't get done, wouldn't it be a breach of trust?

Yes, although this doctor of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs accepts bribes, he is a man of credit and takes money to do things.

Cao Shouzheng also knew who the Xingbu Langzhong whom he singlehandedly picked was.It must be because he took advantage of others and wanted to cause some trouble for Yang Qingyuan.

But Cao Shouzheng is not interested in provoking Yang Qingyuan. Although both parties have equal ranks, Cao Shouzheng does not think he is Yang Qingyuan's opponent.

Yang Qingyuan should leave it to Zhu Zhankun and Li Hongyi to solve it!

"Go, go! I want to arrest you! I don't have time to deal with these trivial matters now. A few days ago, there was a house thief in my house, and I'm going to investigate!?"

After saying that, he sent away the doctor of the Ministry of punishment.

The doctor of the Ministry of punishment was also very helpless, so he could only tell those who reported the result.
-
In the northern border, in Tiance's army.

Li Chengen was looking in the direction of Shendu from afar.

The news of Yu Yanyi's death reached here that day, and he didn't understand why Yang Qingyuan didn't rescue Yu Yanyi.

He believed that with Yang Qingyuan's ability, even if he could not compete in the court, he felt that there was an explosion to save Yu Yanyi's life.

Not only that, three days ago, Yang Guo was ordered by Yang Qingyuan to transfer [-] reliable elite soldiers from the Tiance Army.

Li Chengen didn't ask Yang Guo what he wanted to do, so he allocated the person to him.

Yu Yanyi's death not only dissatisfied Cheng Qingsong, Qian Muqian and other political leaders.

The military was also dissatisfied. After Yanyi was imprisoned, Tang Shengtan, the commander of the Shenwu Army, and Wang Chengsi, the commander of the Shence Army, both expressed their dissatisfaction.

Since Yu Yanyi took charge of the military affairs, he has not withheld military pay or delayed food and grass.Everything needed by soldiers at the border is readily available.

The Shenwu Army, Shence Army, and Tiance Army don't need to consider the pressure from the court, they can be regarded as a pure soldier, fighting for the Great Zhou.

Among them, the role of Yu Yanyi is immeasurable.He is the representative figure of the Sixth Army Commander's Mansion in the political arena.

Standing on the sentry tower, Li Chengen looked at the capital of God, and said to himself, "Calculating the time, Yang Maogong and the others should have arrived."

The Yulin Army was crippled in the battle of the Tumu Fortress, and the reorganized Jinyang Army was built by Yu Yanyi, so Zhu Zhankun naturally didn't dare to use it.

Therefore, according to the usual practice, he dispatched border troops to enrich the defense of Gyeonggi. The Shenwu Army and the Shence Army were far away. Zhu Zhankun had no other choice but to use his confidant, the [-] Changlin Army as the core, and then recruit troops from the Tiance Army. Combined with a small part of the Jinyang Army to form the new Yulin Army.

Li Chengen had already guessed Yang Qingyuan's intention of mobilizing troops. He didn't participate, but he didn't object either. He just waited for the result thousands of miles away.
-
After Yu Yanyi's death, the court gradually became calm.

The actions of adding insult to injury in the officialdom are coming to an end.

The officials who were impeached were relegated or dismissed, and more than [-] related officials stayed away from the capital.

Although Yu Yanyi has never formed a party for personal gain, it does not prevent some upright officials from admiring him from the bottom of their hearts.

People are divided into groups, even though Yu Yanyi never thought of taking these as wings, they still spontaneously united around Yanyi.

In addition to these people, of course Cheng Qingsong of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who defended Yu Yanyi, and the Zhejiang Party led by Qian Muqian were all implicated in this matter.

Li Hongyi, Changsun Fuji, Cao Shouzheng, and Dongge University scholar Kong Qinli, who had taken refuge in Zhu Zhankun, divided up the vacant positions and benefits in the court together.

However, this is just the aftermath of the last huge wave!
Everyone knows that the struggle will not end there.

Zhu Zhankun not only ascended the throne, but also unjustly killed Yu Yanyi. Although his reputation was close to stench, he greatly strengthened his control over the court.Naturally, he will not let it go.

Qian Muqian, Cheng Qingsong, Yang Qingyuan, who once opposed him, he will liquidate them one by one. He will follow the example of Taizu Emperor Gao, centralize power in his hands, and decide the world's affairs with one word!
The new emperor Zhu Zhankun summoned Li Hongyi, Changsun Fuji, Kong Qinli and Cao Shouzheng in the imperial study.

There is one more thing left unresolved.

Wang Hua and Liu Jibai were still confined in the mansion.

The two of them led a group of disciples to scold Zhu Zhankun in broad daylight, counting Zhu Zhankun's five major crimes.

Although many of them have no evidence, they are enough to shake the hearts of the world, so Zhu Zhankun temporarily locked up the two of them, waiting to be dealt with.

Changsun Fuji didn't participate in the framing of Yu Yanyi, but as a bystander, he knew how insincere Zhu Zhankun's matter was.

Wang Hua is mature and prudent, and abides by the law.But it is such a person, who was forced by Zhu Zhankun to scold the emperor in public, you can know how unpopular Zhu Zhankun's actions are.

"My lords, can you make some articles on Wang Hua's matter and get rid of Yang Qingyuan as well?"

The first and third departments had already turned against Zhu Zhankun, and now they had the opportunity to naturally want to do it.

Kong Qinli was the first to stand up, "Wang Hua should be punished for slandering the emperor. If Yang Qingyuan is his accomplice, he should be punished as well."

Before Zhu Zhankun could comment on Kong Qinli's words, Li Hongyi stood up and objected.

"Yang Qingyuan has made great contributions to the country. He first broke Beigan, and then destroyed Houjin. He has made great contributions to the country. If he is implicated in Wang Hua's affairs and sent to prison, it will be difficult to block the mouth of the world."

Kong Qinli snorted coldly, "So what if he has made great achievements?! Yu Yanyi has made great contributions to the country, so he is dead now."

The eldest grandson Fuji, who remained silent, glanced at Kong Qinli. He really admired Emperor Taizong Wen's vision.

Emperor Wen's prohibition of Kong Qinli's participation in political affairs was really clever. At this level, being a prefect is not enough.If he hadn't carried the name of the Patriarch of the Northern Sect of the Confucian Mansion, he still wanted to serve in the Central Committee.

Zhu Zhankun on the throne also frowned, if he didn't want to accept the hearts of the world's officials, he really didn't want to use Kong Qinli.

"I am the Son of Heaven, the Ninth Five-Year Honor, is it so hard to kill Yang Qingyuan?!"

Li Hongyi said to him, "Superior, if Yang Qingyuan died in such a trivial matter with his military achievements, who would still serve the country?!"

At the time of Yanyi, there was still a fig leaf for rebellion.How could Yang Qingyuan be executed for such a crime? !
Zhu Zhankun rubbed his eyebrows, "Let's discuss this matter later, first draw up a candidate for the Minister of War, and then fill the vacant position in the cabinet!"

……
-
In the few days after the seventh day of April, the atmosphere in the capital of God was so "calm".But under this calm surface, there is an undercurrent that can swallow everything!

Just when Zhu Zhankun thought he had achieved a staged victory, and when the dignitaries in Beijing were fighting for vacant official positions, there were still some insignificant and inconspicuous incidents happening in the capital of God.

On the eighth day of April, the spies who were ordered to monitor the Dali Temple reported to Yuhuatian: Yang Qingyuan's disciple, General Yang Guo of Yaoyao, had returned from the northern border and brought more than ten soldiers to meet Yang Qingyuan.But what they don't know is that Yang Guo's more than ten soldiers are all school lieutenants in Tiance's army.

At noon on the ninth day of April, Yang Guo hosted a banquet in the Qingwu Courtyard for the idled military officers headed by Cao Xueyang to express their friendship.

In the afternoon of the ninth day of April, Yang Qingyuan's study room heard people yelling at Yang Guo, but at the same time, without any notice, a figure entered the residence of Cheng Qingsong, the imperial censor of the Imperial Court, without any notice.

On the [-]th night of April, a thief was encountered in the residence of the Minister of Rites and the Grand Scholars of Wenyuan Pavilion, but fortunately Liu Fanmen arrived in time and caught this daring little thief.

At noon on April 10th, a mysterious person sneaked into the house of Wei Qi, the treasurer of the Ministry of Industry, who was taking a rest, with a letter written by Zhao Yan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and a bank note of [-] taels from Tiandi Bank.Wei Qi is the treasurer of the Ministry of Industry, in charge of the warehouse that will be the prison.Among them are the newly cast standard swords and long spears, [-] sets of armor, and [-] magic crossbows, all of which are used to supplement the combat power of the Imperial Forest Army.

On the evening of April [-]th, Li Chengguang, Minister of the Ministry of War, hosted a banquet for Yang Qingyuan.

"Qing Yuan has made some moves recently?!"

Li Chengguang was the servant of the Ministry of War. After Yu Yanyi's death, the burden of the Ministry of War fell on him, including the patrol roster of the Imperial Forest Army, which was also sorted by him.So he can discover details that others cannot.

Faced with Li Chengguang's question, Yang Qingyuan did not hide it.

"King Wei, isn't that the first emperor's direct blood?!"

Yang Qingyuan's rhetorical question explained some problems.Yang Qingyuan was not worried about Li Chengguang.

Don't look at him temporarily acting as the Ministry of War, and his power is very hot, but this is because of the Li family behind him and his familiarity with the affairs of the Ministry of War.

He has already been labeled as suspected of being part of the Yanyi remnant party, and the new minister of the Ministry of War cannot be him.

More importantly, Li Chengguang is a daughter slave, he only has one daughter - Li Qingning.

And his daughter has already made an appointment with Zhang Muqing, deputy director of the Dali Temple Anti-Theft Department.

Whether he likes it or not, Li Chengguang has been forced to join Yang Qingyuan's lineup.

"I don't want to interfere with the matter of seizing the heirloom."

Li Chengguang's bottom line was very clear, as long as he didn't want to change the dynasty, he could do whatever Yang Qingyuan wanted to do.

Whether it's Prince Zhu Zhankun or Wei Wang Zhu Zhanjun, aren't they all the direct blood of Emperor Taizong? !

Although it is said that the Great Zhou Dynasty had the eldest son inheritance system, didn't the former Tang Dynasty not have it? !

Emperor Taizong Wen and Emperor Xuanzong of the former Tang Dynasty were not the eldest sons, and they all relied on coups to rise to power. No one said that those who are loyal to them are all rebels and sycophants!

Time passed quietly in a seemingly peaceful atmosphere. April [-]th was the first seven days since Yu Yanyi and Chongwen Academy were unjustly murdered.

According to folk customs, Yang Qingyuan was going to offer sacrifices to everyone in Yanyi.

But he didn't prepare what he needed, he still had something to do.

Otherwise, Yang Qingyuan would not dare to meet Yu Yanyi.
