Man Tanghong

Chapter 893 Reality and Consensus!
Li Yuanji really wanted to know where Yang Gongren's confidence came from, and why he chose to attack Ren Gui at this point in time.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty's war against the Turks has basically been decided. Although Ren Gui held objections and became the only stumbling block in this matter, in the torrent formed by the military officials of the Manchu Dynasty who were eager to fight , his stumbling block can't last long.

Therefore, the war between Datang and Turks has become a foregone conclusion.

The more this is the case, the more those in power like to seek stability, and they will basically be cautious when it comes to internal promotion and scheduling of officials.

In the appointment of prime ministers, the status quo will also remain unchanged.

So the possibility of Yang Gongren moving to Ren Gui is almost zero.

Why did Yang Gongren think he could move to Ren Gui?

"Why is he?"

Li Yuanji stared at Xiao Yu and asked with a pun.

Xiao Yu heard the deep meaning in this sentence, and sat there feeling like she was on pins and needles, not knowing what to say.

How do I know this? !
I don't have a deep friendship with Yang Gongren. If we have to talk about it, we can say that we have enmity.

Why do people tell me their reliance?
Seeing that Xiao Yu was silent, Li Yuanji asked again: "You don't know where his confidence lies?"

Xiao Yu shook his head without hesitation.

Don't say he doesn't know, even if he knew, he wouldn't say it.

Because it will offend people, and it will offend people to death.

It's not his style.

His days in the court were numbered, and he didn't need to find himself an enemy with a deep background before retiring.

This is not good for him, and it is also very bad for his descendants.

"Since that's the case, then you can go back."

Since Xiao Yu didn't know where Yang Gongren's strength was, there was no need to ask.

In desperation, Xiao Yu began to blow his beard and stare, and he was also embarrassed to be His Highness.

Li Yuanji waved his hand immediately, indicating that Xiao Yu could go.

There is no need to rush to find out this matter, anyway, if Yang Gongren wants to overthrow Ren Gui, he will show his cards sooner or later.

It will be clear then.

……

Li Yuanji originally thought that Yang Gongren would hide his hole cards for a while, and then reveal them when the decisive victory came. Unexpectedly, within a few days, he revealed his hole cards.

His hole cards are actually Yushitai, as well as the two ministers of punishment and engineering.

Not long after he wrote to impeach Ren Gui, the censor Wang Gui who was far away in Jingzhou also wrote to impeach Ren Gui, and then the two ministers of punishment and work successively wrote to impeach Ren Gui.

Then the memorials of Yushitai, the officials of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry floated into the Taiji Hall like snowflakes.

Without Wei Zheng's Yushitai, it seems to be Wang Gui's one-person hall.

The two ministers of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry have been "cultivating" the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry for many years, and they have gained a lot of prestige, and they seem to have turned the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Industry into their monopoly.

Suddenly, Ren Gui was impeached by civil and military rivalries, and became a street mouse that everyone shouted and beaten.

This situation continued until New Year's Eve before it eased.

It's not that officials from the Yushitai, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, and a group of military officials have impeached and failed to resign, and their flags have died down, but that the New Year's Day is here, and the palace will hold a grand festival of Nuo opera as usual, and the government and the public will also have a holiday as usual , so I put this matter aside for the time being.

After all, the important affairs of the country are worshiped in Rong. If anyone rushes to impeach Ren Gui, disturbs the Nuo Opera Festival, and makes the Nuo Opera Festival go wrong, they will step down before Ren Gui's downfall.

So no one wants to block their future, and make themselves uncomfortable at this time.

Besides, everyone is going to have a holiday, and they are all eager to go home and reunite with their families. Whoever wants to make trouble at this time will cause everyone to work overtime collectively, which will arouse public outrage.

So no one dared to make the officials uncomfortable at this time.

Ren Gui also took this opportunity to spend a relatively stable New Year's Eve.

However, after the New Year's Eve, the wave of impeachment swept Chang'an again.

After a new year, the impeachment of Ren Gui not only did not weaken, but intensified.

Some Taixue students, who were encouraged by whom, actually wrote a lot of articles, and publicized them everywhere in Chang'an City, criticizing Ren Gui's reputation.

In just half a month, Ren Gui has changed from a meritorious official who has contributed to the country and the people to a treacherous minister who is beyond description.

After reading the article written by the Taixue students, Li Yuanji rubbed his eyebrows and asked Chen Shuda who was sitting at the bottom, "Is this too much?"

Chen Shuda nodded deeply and said, "It's true..."

In this matter, he does not stand by Yang Gongren or Ren Gui, but just looks at this matter objectively and fairly from the perspective of a bystander.

"It's okay to pull Mr. Ren from his horse. It's a bit too much to destroy Mr. Ren's reputation and deny Mr. Ren's contributions to my Tang Dynasty."

Li Yuanji said displeased.

It's a bit deceptive to kill people without nodding their heads, and making a fuss about the reputation of a capable official.

Chen Shuda cupped his hands and said, "Do you want me to take action to punish one or two?"

Recently, Xiao Yu didn't know whether it was because he took advantage of others, or because he wanted to retire, and started to make quails. He didn't care about anything, and didn't say anything. He looked like a wood carving and clay sculpture in the court.

So now the Shangshu in the three provinces and the two provinces under his family are under the leadership of Chen Shuda.

Although the hundreds of officials and the Tai students were violent, if he came forward to punish him, it would still have some effect.

After all, a prime minister from a wealthy family has a greater say in the ruling and opposition parties than ordinary prime ministers.

When he got angry, everyone in the government and the opposition had to give way.

This is the weight that an imperial prime minister should have.

If talking doesn't work, and anyone can bully him twice, then what kind of prime minister is he? Call him a public servant of the Tang Dynasty.

The reason why Ren Gui is now like everyone shouting and beating is not because he has no weight as a prime minister, but because he has never spoken out for himself, nor has he used this matter against anyone.

That is to say, he is lying flat now, despite the wind and rain.

"Did Mr. Ren still not let go?"

Li Yuanji did not rush to respond to Chen Shuda's words, but asked a question instead.

Speaking of which, he was the one who initiated the impeachment of Ren Gui and the "charge" against Ren Gui. The reason why it became like this is because people with ulterior motives are taking the opportunity to stir up trouble.

The reason why he didn't stand up to quell the matter was because he was waiting for Ren Gui to let go.

But Ren Gui has not let go until now.

It's completely like you want to kill or scrape whatever you want, but it's impossible to move the money in the treasury and the grain in the granary.

Call him stubborn and pedantic, he is indeed a bit stubborn and pedantic.

It can be said that he is wrong to do so, and it is too biased.

It is because of the existence of this kind of people that the common people can gain a chance of life in the hierarchical feudal society and gain some power to be human.

If there were no such people, the dignitaries could gather fire and bully the common people to death.

If it is not for the sake of the people, he will not care where and how much the money in the treasury and the grain in the granary are used.

After all, these things don't belong to him, and it's impossible to give them to him. No matter how much he manages, it won't do him any good.

The imperial court will not give him an extra salary because he has more control.

On the contrary, if he doesn't care about anything, the imperial court will not lose his salary.

So he did it for the sake of the people.

And the common people have no channel to speak out, and it is difficult to understand that this kind of person who is a thousand miles away from them in class is doing this for them, so it is difficult to support him.

In this way, a situation was formed where he was obviously doing good deeds, but was accused by thousands of people.

From the perspective of a dictator, this kind of person must be killed quickly, because no dictator likes this kind of person who likes to fight against himself.

But from the perspective of ordinary people, or even an ordinary person, this kind of person deserves to be respected and treated favorably.

Li Yuanji is not a pure dictator, but he is not a common people or an ordinary person either.

So it was both respectful and a headache for Ren Gui.

"Forget it, Liu Jun, you go and call Mr. Ren to see you."

Li Yuanji sighed and gave instructions to Liu Jun.

Ren Gui is not afraid of tough things, and even looks like she wants to guard the treasury and granaries to the death.

Then he can only be called to the Taiji Palace, Xiaozhi will use emotion to reason, and be a little softer.

Liu Jun agreed and left the Tai Chi Hall.

After more than an hour, he brought Ren Gui to the Tai Chi Hall.

After Ren Gui saluted, Li Yuanji sighed and said: "Mr. Ren, you are also a person who knows about military affairs. You should be able to see that the conquest of Turks has become a general trend. Why do you go against the general trend?"

Ren Gui seemed very calm, as if he had not been influenced by the outside world. It seemed that he was not the one impeached and criticized by the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty.

He said with a serious face: "Of course I know that the conquest of the Turks has become a general trend, and I don't want to go against the general trend. But the current Turks are nothing more than jumping clowns to my Tang Dynasty. As long as my Tang Dynasty If you free your hand, you can level it, so I can send troops to the Turks at any time in the Tang Dynasty.

On the other hand, inside Datang, people's livelihood is difficult.Although the common people have lived through the precarious and unpredictable days, they still have no clothes to cover their bodies and no food to eat.

If my Great Tang can spend several years to promote rice and fill the south of the Yangtze River with rice, then my Tang will have no worries about food, and the people will no longer have to worry about precarity.

At that time, my Tang Dynasty will have a thriving population, strong soldiers and strong horses, and I will send my troops to the north. Who can stop me?
Not to mention the Turks, even the nations of the world must submit to my Tang Dynasty! "

Ren Gui spoke loudly at the end.

It seems that Datang has achieved this kind of feat and made Wanbang surrender.

His thinking is not wrong, and it is very safe.

After all, everyone knows that once the national strength of the Tang Dynasty is strong, and the grain output and population increase, it will inevitably recruit more soldiers, launch more magnificent wars, and establish greater achievements.

But looking at the changes of dynasties in history, you will find that this is just a dream of everyone.

When the country becomes stronger and the food production and population increase, people prefer to live a stable and comfortable life rather than fighting wars.

Because no one is hungry, no one is willing to work hard.

Saying that it is better to die than to live will become the mainstream.

Therefore, it is very difficult to expect the country to be strong, the population to be prosperous, and the grain to be abundant, and then to expand the territory and conquer the world.

It sounds funny, but it's true.

Without a life-and-death crisis, who would fight desperately for life and death?

If no one is fighting desperately for life and death, how can it be possible to win the battle and expand the territory?
