bastard seizes tang

Chapter 278
Yangzhou is thousands of miles away from Chang'an, so it is not convenient for news to spread, and the news of Li Keyu's capture did not spread to Chang'an in such a timely manner.

But at this moment, another matter related to Li Ke had caused the whole Tang court to fall apart.

As the governor of Yangzhou, although Li Ke is not in charge of civil affairs, he is a prince and his fief is also in Huainan. It is not wrong for him to intervene in Huainan's water control. State Army.

Military power is an unusual thing. In many cases, military power means ambition and life and death. Therefore, since ancient times, even father and son have not been at ease.

Li Ke is also a man who knows how to fight. He is not stupid, and he will not be so stupid as to mobilize the disadvantaged Huainan army to rebel and fight against the Guanzhong Forbidden Army under his father's command. If he is wrong, his enemies will not let go of such an opportunity, and will spare no effort to attack him.

Just three days after Li Ke mobilized the government army, although Li Ke had intended to suppress the news before, the news still reached Chang'an after all. See Li Ke's book.

"Report to Your Majesty, my minister Li Lin impeached the king of Chu and secretly transferred the government army, intending to seek rebellion." At the beginning of the case, Li Lin, the servant of the Yushitai, came out with his copy, and bowed down to Li Shimin who was sitting in the middle of the hall. road.

Li Lin is the censor, and he should be under the jurisdiction of Wen Yanbo, the doctor of the censor. The book he played should be read by Wen Yanbo first before writing. However, Wen Yanbo is over [-] years old, and he is already old. Due to the wind and cold, his energy was low, so the affairs of Taichung were handed over to Li Qianyou, Yushitai Yushi Zhongcheng, to take charge of it. Wen Yanbo didn't know what Li Lin said, and he couldn't control it.

In fact, many people in the court knew about Li Ke's private mobilization of the government army for disaster relief, but no one broke it. So at the beginning of the dynasty, Li Lin wrote a letter of impeachment, which was expected by everyone in the palace.

However, although Li Lin's impeachment was expected by everyone, what he impeached really surprised people. Li Lin actually impeached Li Ke for privately transferring the government army with the intention of rebelling.

The matter of secretly transferring the government army is inevitable, the evidence is conclusive, and Li Ke is absolutely powerless to refute it, but the intention to rebel is a bit groundless and purely conjectural.

However, the imperial censor was just listening to the news, and whether he has the right or not is not a matter of opinion. It's just this situation, but Li Lin is full of it.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Linzhi's words came out, there was an uproar in the hall, and everyone looked at him, even the emperor Li Shimin.

"Li Lin, do you know what you are talking about!" As soon as Li Linzhi said, Li Shimin, who was sitting at the head of the hall, looked at Li Lin and asked loudly.

Li Shimin also knew about Li Ke's mobilization of the government army, but most of Li Shimin believed Li Ke's words. Li Kejuan did not act so stupidly.

However, Li Lin was close to Changsun Wuji and Prince Li Chengqian in private, and his actions today were instigated by Changsun Wuji, so how could it be a reckless move without preparation.

Li Lin replied after hearing the words: "Military power is tied to one side's stability, peace in the sea, and the weight of Mount Tai, so it is not allowed to move arbitrarily. As the governor of Yangzhou and the minister of the southeast, how can the king of Chu not know this reason. The minister thinks that after this incident There must be something strange, Your Majesty must not slack off."

What Li Lin said also makes sense. Military power is no more important than others. This is what Li Shimin is extremely afraid of. Li Shimin suspects that Li Ke intends to rebel, and turns suspicious.

Doubt, once it arises, will take root in the bottom of my heart, and it will be difficult to get rid of it.

However, although Li Lin had planned long ago, not everything was as he expected. Li Lin's words had just come to an end, and Li Ke's courtiers in the Chu Palace had not yet said anything, but Wei Zheng, who had some feuds with Li Ke in the past, began to question him first.

"Li Lin, you need to know that although you have the right to impeach as a censor, you should act carefully and not act recklessly. Do you have any evidence to impeach the king of Chu for treason?" Wei Zheng looked at the court in front of the important officials. Looking at Li Lin, he asked with a drink.

Standing in the hall, Li Lin was stunned when he heard Wei Zheng's words.

At the beginning of the year, the princelings took advantage of the vision of the white rainbow penetrating the sun to force Li Ke to leave the capital and sent him to the south. Stand up and help Li Ke speak.

However, since Li Lin dared to stand up and take the lead in attacking the troubles, he is also a smart person. Li Lin said to Wei Zheng: "Although there is no real evidence for the officials, it is unprecedented to recruit the government army to control the flood. The king of Chu just happened to be like this. Isn’t King Chu’s motive worthy of suspicion?”

Indeed, Li Ke's mobilization of the local government army to control the floods set a precedent in the Tang Dynasty. Anyone who breaks the rule must be criticized first, and Li Lin's words are also reasonable.

It's just that although Li Lin's words were reasonable, Wei Zheng could not hide his anger when he heard Li Lin's words.

Wei Zheng has always acted with respect to things and not to others, and he was in the public eye rather than private. He urged Li Ke to go south as an official because of his public heart, and now he speaks for Li Ke's righteousness, also out of a public heart.

The flood in Huainan spread all over Huainan, and if one was not careful, half of Tang's granaries would be lost. Although Li Ke dispatched the army to control the flood, although it violated the regulations, it could save the lives of the people in Huainan. This is what Wei Zheng remembered clearly.Li Lin pointed out Li Ke's mistakes in front of all the officials, but he didn't pay attention to his power or merit. With Wei Zheng's temperament, how could he just sit back and watch?

Wei Zhengdao: "The king of Chu transferred, but the army of the surrounding prefectures and counties, there are no more than [-] people before and after, but there are millions of people alive. Although what they did is wrong, they have done something wrong, but they have more merits in governing the environment and calming the people. You have no How is your action today different from that of Fei Zhongyouhun and others?"

Fei Zhongyouhun was a courtier in ancient times, and Wei Zheng compared Li Lin to these two people, which can be regarded as extreme. In the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, Wei Zheng was probably the only one with such a straightforward temperament.

Wei Zheng was no different than ordinary people, he was quite prestigious in the court, and his words carried a lot of weight in Li Shimin's heart. He stood up to speak for Li Ke, which was naturally a rare help to Li Ke's current situation.

Taking advantage of this help, many courtiers who had good relations with Li Ke, such as Shiliuwei, Yushitai, Secretary Province, and the Sixth Ministry, all came out to help Li Ke, but Li Ke stayed in Chang'an, which best represented him. The person in the position has yet to speak.

And this person is Li Ke's professional teacher who came to pay homage to the court, Shi Cenwen, the head of the Chu Palace.

Cen Wen himself is a member of Zhongshushe, in charge of the documents in the palace, and he is a well-informed person, so there is absolutely no reason why he did not have any information before.

But at this moment, Cen Wenwen was unexpectedly, there was no excitement on his face like Wei Zheng's, but his brows were tightly furrowed, standing in the queue of the courtiers, not saying a word.

What Cen Wenwen did was really weird. Just when the courtiers who had made good friends with Li Ke couldn't figure out the way, a servant holding a memorial book suddenly walked in quickly outside the hall.

When the servant handed over the playbook to Li Shimin, Li Shimin just glanced at it, his face suddenly changed.
