Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1049
"Your Majesty, Zhang Liang was ashamed to see His Majesty, and committed suicide!"

Li Xian reported to the emperor with some uneasiness that the case of the Imperial City Division was handled very well this time, but at the final close, he missed it. Zhang Liang actually killed himself, which is undoubtedly anticlimactic.

But fortunately, this case is an iron case, and there are so many witnesses and material evidence.Zhang Xian submitted a memorial, which contained the details of Zhang Liang's treason case, with key testimony attached.

The emperor looked at it and let out a long sigh.

"Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang, so what about a grassroots background? No matter the hero's background, he is a grassroots, but he can also counterattack and become the Duke of the founding county. He is still so young. I just entrusted him with the important job of Jinyiwei. Could it be that he won't be able to win in the future? Is it possible to be named a Duke? Even if the portrait is included in Lingyan Pavilion, it may not be impossible, but he ruined himself just because of a broken shoe of a woman with five surnames, so humble, is it worth it? Not worth it."

Luo Cheng was very angry, both angry at Zhang Liang's stupidity, and hated that iron could not be made into steel.

People say that a hero is sad to pass the beauty pass, but Zhang Liang, the founder of the country, did not even pass the pass of a broken shoe.

long silence.

"Have Zhang Liang's fake sons and grandchildren been controlled? Also, have the sorcerers, wizards, followers and staff he recruited been controlled?"

"The fake sons and grandchildren of Zhang Liang in Lishan have all been brought under control. In addition, there are some in Chang'an, Luoyang and other places. Secret orders have also been issued to send horses to the two capitals for immediate arrest and control."

"Where's Mrs. Li?"

"Mr. Li is in Chang'an and plans to return to Luoyang later."

"Capture this viper, scorpion, and prostitute, interrogate her, and then send her to Anxi for exile." The emperor said angrily.

Li Xian was surprised, women exiled to the army generally referred to as camp prostitutes, this would be a punishment worse than life.Especially those sent to the borderlands for exile.

"Your Majesty, the Li family is the daughter of the Li family in Zhao County, and also the clan niece of Li Shousu, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy."

Zhaojun Li is one of the five surnames and seven families of the Kanto gentry. Zhaojun Li has a very high status among the gentry, and is one of the most famous gentry families in the world.

Even though the emperor released the Daqin clan annals earlier, forcing the upstarts forward and pushing the old aristocrats and old gentry down, they are still very proud.

Even Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and other prime ministers are all vying to marry with the five surnames and ask for a daughter of the five surnames for their sons.

Even a current prime minister like Fang Xuanling, who was born in a gentry family, could ask his eldest son to marry a woman of the five surnames, but in the end he had to pay for the family fortune to compensate for the losses caused by the difference in family status to the five surnames.

Of course, there are also five surnamed women in Luocheng's harem, and the two concubines of the Cui family and the Zheng family were accepted by him in the early years, not to mention that several kings, Lu, Li, Cui, etc. have been added to the harem after enthronement.

Zhang Liang's wife, Li Shi, is the niece of Li Shousu's family in Zhao County, and the relationship is relatively close.

"Why, do I still want to save face for Li Shousu? He is a dignified academician of the Imperial Academy and the ruling minister of the court, but he can't even manage a woman in his family. How can he govern the court and take care of the country for me? Outsiders are full of words He is benevolent and moral, and he is a teacher, but the men and women in the clan are all male robbers and female prostitutes, neither filial nor fraternal."

The emperor has always had a prejudice against those noble families, and he doesn't like these noble families who can threaten the royal family.

Now because of Li's suicide, one of his generals has been ruined, and the emperor is very angry.

"Call Li Shousu to come!"

"I want to hear Li Shousu's explanation!"

Li Shousu came after hearing the edict.

Previously, the ministers talked about Zhang Liang's rebellion, so he knew that he might be involved in this case, but he didn't expect that the emperor's storm came so violently.

As soon as he entered the palace, the emperor threw the booklet presented by Li Xian directly in front of him.

"Read it yourself, read it well!"

Li Shousu opened it with trembling hands, and read it word by word, but the more he read, the more frightened he became.

"The minister is guilty."

"Are you guilty? What are you guilty of?"

"The minister is incompetent in running the family and ineffective in discipline."

"Hmph, do you know that you are incapable of managing your family and disciplining you? Mrs. Li is your niece, and his great-grandfather is your grandfather. Speaking of which, your relationship is still very close. But before this Mrs. Li was out of the cabinet, she acted recklessly. , was pregnant out of wedlock, but your Li family finally concealed the matter, secretly aborted her, and finally married her off."

"But after Mrs. Li got married, she had an affair with her younger uncle. After your Li family found out, not only did you not teach Mrs. Li, but you also used your family power to force her husband's family to dare not speak up, dare not sue, and swallowed this scandal abruptly. .”

"But Mrs. Li still didn't repent afterwards, and you Mrs. Li didn't intend to punish this woman, you just indulged in partiality..."

"Li Shousu, you are the ruler of the imperial court, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, but are you qualified? Are you worthy of virtue?"

Li Shousu was extremely ashamed.

Among the children of famous families, there are also some who are self-conscious. Li Shousu is still a very self-disciplined person, but there is someone like Li who corrupts the family tradition in the family, and he really did not fulfill his duties.

"I have issued an order to arrest Mrs. Li for interrogation, and then send Anxi Yanqi to join the army."

"Your Majesty!" When Li Shousu heard that his niece was going to be sent to Anxi as a camp prostitute, his first thought was that the Li family would lose face, and he wanted to ask the emperor to forgive him, but it only made the emperor even more angry.

"Li Shousu, you are no longer suitable to be a bachelor."

Li Shousu was stunned, dazed.

After a long time, he nodded slowly.

"My minister, Li Shousu, please resign!"

"allow!"

On the same day, two shocking incidents came out of the Lishan imperial camp. One was that Zhang Liang, the governor of Jinyiwei, committed rebellion and died by slaying himself while resisting arrest.Another thing is that Zhang Liang's wife's family uncle Li Shousu, a senior scholar, took the blame and resigned, and the emperor agreed.

The emperor quickly appointed the crown prince Zhan Shi Li Gang with the title of Grand Bachelor of Guanwendian, entered the Imperial Academy, and Jiaping Zhang Shi worshiped the prime minister.

The one-armed general Jia Runpu succeeded Zhang Liang and became the new commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei.

On the same day, another message was blocked and kept secret.

Thousands of Jinyiwei and Sanya Military Academy were arrested, they were interrogated in secret, and then sent to North Korea, Anxi, Yunnan, Annan and other border areas to farm in Changliu, and they were declared not to return to the Central Plains until they died.

Their military status and honors and feats were all deprived, and they could only sink alone in the wilderness for the rest of their lives.

The emperor also issued an imperial decree to ban the Confucian theory of yin and yang disasters, and banned Confucian magicians in this school. At the same time, those who performed folk divination and astrology were also listed as prohibited.

In the future, anyone who dares to divination astrology and spread the theory of yin and yang disasters and abnormalities will be guilty of all crimes, and will never return for life.

At the same time, the emperor once again issued an edict, reiterating the prohibition of the behavior of the same robes in the army as adoptive sons. Those who violated the law will be expelled from the army and expelled from the army.

The singer named Shenji, although he was meritorious in the prosecution, the emperor still directly ordered him to be executed by beheading.

At noon when the emperor drove away from Lishan Mountain, the young and handsome little white-faced brother Shen Ji was beheaded at the foot of Lishan Mountain, while the lecherous Li Shi was arrested and imprisoned by the bad guys from Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an City.Bad people from Jingzhao Mansion were ordered to break into Zhang Liang's county mansion, and when they broke into Mrs. Li's room, this prostitute was having an affair with a handsome young monk.

When bad people broke in, they were disheveled and doing unsightly things.

Seeing someone trespassing, Mrs. Li still smiled shamelessly. She didn't show any panic at all, and she didn't even have the slightest intention to put on clothes to block them.

It's just that she didn't expect that this time, his husband, the county princess, and the uncle of the university scholar couldn't keep her either.
