Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 322
Li Heng's heart skipped a beat, Wei Jiansu saw it this way!

Recalling the battle of Qingqu is just a bluff, the real killer move is the cattle and sheep that King Jianning paid tribute to!

Those old foxes!
Li Heng's prestige is far inferior to that of the emperor, and there is not much room for him to display his political skills.

Wei Jiansu is the patriarch of Jingzhao Wei, who is a prominent family in Gyeonggi and has great influence in the Gyeonggi area.

This is also the reason why Li Heng wants to worship Wei Jiansu as prime minister.

But since ancient times, emperors and prime ministers have always competed for power, and almost all of Li Heng's political affairs halls came from wealthy families.

Although these rich and powerful families would also fight among themselves, they spared no effort in suppressing the imperial power.

But in order to regain the two capitals, Li Heng had to rely on these powerful families.

In fact, Li Heng also knew that King Jianning had been criticized by the government and the public for a long time.

Fang Guan was able to serve as Hexi Jiedushi not only because he attached himself to the prince.

More importantly, the policy of changing horses to mulberry has indeed aroused the interest of powerful families.

The land of Hexi is fertile. If it can be done by changing horses to mulberry, it will be a piece of fertile land.

And even if the imperial court repents in the future and wants to resume horse administration in Hexi, it will have to buy back these fertile land at a high price.

Before Fang Guan arrived in Hexi, he negotiated a deal with the dignitaries in the court at that time, and many of them sent their servants to follow Fang Guan to Hexi, waiting to swallow up these high-quality fertile fields.

However, the change of horse to mulberry was disturbed by King Jianning, and these officials in the court were naturally very angry.

It's just that the previous attacks on King Jianning were all written in the imperial history. As long as the emperor stayed in the middle, he could always suppress it.

Unexpectedly, this time Wei Jiansu took the big move directly, and directly questioned that the horses, cattle and sheep that King Jianning paid tribute were not captured on the battlefield, but from the hands of the people.

That would change the nature of the matter.

Falsely reporting military exploits and raiding the common people, if these two crimes are proven, King Jianning will have no way to stand up!
Datang built the country with military merits, and lying about military merits has always been a serious crime.

And taking benevolence and righteousness as the foundation of the country, searching for the common people is even more spurned by scholars all over the world.

But Wei Jiansu has been forced to this point, but Li Heng hesitated.

Li Heng naturally thought of the kindness of King Jianning, but his weak character made him unable to harden himself.

"If the emperor is here, I'm afraid he will immediately disperse the court meeting?"

Li Heng couldn't help thinking about how his father would deal with such a situation.

After much deliberation, I'm afraid that the royal father will not be forced into such a predicament by the prime minister, right?

Li Heng wanted to disperse from the court meeting, but under the persecution of the eyes of all the ministers, Li Heng still couldn't speak out.

Wei Jiansu had no expression on his face. He had planned this attack on the royal family for a long time.

When Li Daoyuan and the Uighur Proposer entered the city, Wei Jiansu immediately mobilized, all he wanted was to drag King Jianning off his horse!
Wei Jiansu is not an idiot like Fang Guan, he is an old veteran who has experienced the treacherous political struggles of Bo Yun in Xuanzong's court.

Wei Jiansu had already served as a chancellor in the Shang Dynasty during the Tianbao period, and has always held important positions in the court.

After the fall of the two capitals, Wei Jiansu followed the emperor into Shuzhong, and was later sent by the emperor to Li Heng's side.

Jingzhao Webster's background, coupled with his seniority in the emperor's court, Wei Jiansu's struggle with the current emperor is also mixed with the emperor's influence.

How could such an experienced veteran be comparable to a fool like Fang Guan.

Naturally, his moves were fatal, and what he wanted was to completely crucify King Jianning to death at the Great Court Meeting.

Can a place like Longyou afford [-] cattle, sheep and horses?
impossible!

Wei Jiansu, including the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, no one believed the "nonsense" that King Jianning said.

The Uighurs are strong, and Gele Khan is the grassland hero who unifies the Uighurs. Can he be defeated by King Jianning?
When Wei Jiansu was in the imperial court, he had served as Minister of the Ministry of War, so he naturally knew the combat effectiveness of the frontier army.

It's good to be able to defend the Uighur invasion, but you still want to take the initiative?

Longyou's family property has been taken away by the court's suppression of the rebellion, and King Jianning's lie is too much to treat the court officials as fools.

King Jianning offered livestock to the emperor in order to ask for credit. As for the reason for asking for credit, it was of course for the position of the prince.

Wei Jiansu thought he had seen through Li Yan, that's why he used this ultimate move, just to get rid of the chief executive of Longyou.

At that time, the chaos that King Jianning caused in Longyou will naturally need people to calm down. Wei Jiansu can pull in people from his own political faction, and then go to Hexi to change the horse into a sang.

Wei Jiansu's abacus was crackling, and Li Heng could only watch as the guards went to bring the envoy of King Jianning and the envoy of Uighur marriage proposal.

Now Li Heng desperately looked at the courtiers below, but remembered that Li Mi and Guo Ziyi, whom he had relied on, were not in the court now.

It's too late to regret, if Li Mi was in the political affairs hall, he wouldn't have been forced into such a situation.

Li Heng regretted his behavior of alienating Li Mi, but it is useless to regret now. If King Jianning's crimes are confirmed today, his prestige as an emperor will be discredited.

In fact, Li Heng did not believe that King Jianning could defeat Uighur.

Naturally, he was clear about the situation in Longyou. When King Jianning went to Longyou, he brought hundreds of personal guards with him. Not to mention leading Longyou to defeat the Uighurs, it was even difficult to really control Longyou.

Li Heng also guessed that these cattle and sheep were collected by Li Yan himself in order to please him.

His son has this "filial piety", so Li Heng naturally wouldn't go into it.

But now that Wei Jiansu has placed him above the imperial court, Li Heng just hoped that Li Yan would not be confused for a while and search for these cattle and sheep from the people.

At this time, in the middle of the civil service team, Hubu Duzhi Lang Yuanzai, who stopped Yu Chaoen yesterday, raised his head. He looked at Wei Jiansu in the line of prime ministers from a distance, and his heart was filled with pride.

I will meet the real prime minister today!

Yuan Zai thought of a sentence by Chen Ping, a famous prime minister in the Western Han Dynasty:

"The prime minister is the one who assists the emperor at the top, manages Yin and Yang, obeys the four seasons, and adapts all things below. Outside, he governs the princes of the four barbarians, and inside, he is close to the people, so that the ministers and officials can hold their positions."

Today, Wei Jiansu coerced the emperor and impeached the prince, what a boldness this is!
Like Yuan Zai, in the minds of the ministers of the Grand Court Assembly, they already had other thoughts indistinctly.

Li Daoyuan was planning to go to Zhongshumen to deliver the documents for rewarding meritorious service, but he didn't expect that two forbidden guards in Mingguang armor came.

Before Li Daoyuan could react, a round-faced eunuch appeared.

"Li Sima, Your Majesty announces you to the court."

what?
In the end what happened?
At the same time, I Daxie, who was staying at the post house of Honglu Temple, was also summoned.

The eunuchs and guards who delivered the decree didn't give them any time to react, and almost carried them to the palace where the Dachaohui was located.

Li Daoyuan was sent to the main hall by this group of people. This main hall was rebuilt from the original palace in Fengxiang Mansion, so it is naturally not as gorgeous as Chang'an Daming Palace.

The temporary palace of Fengxiang Mansion in later generations has long since ceased to exist. This was the first time Li Daoyuan saw a palace-style building, and he couldn't help but turn on the camera.

Even if it is a temporary palace, it is so gorgeously built, it really is Tang Dynasty.

Li Daoyuan's weapons were confiscated, and then, led by an eunuch, he walked into the main hall of the Dachaohui.

"Xuan Jian Ning Wangfu Marching Sima, Li Daoyuan goes to the palace!"

Following the eunuch's sharp voice, Li Daoyuan walked into the main hall, the center of power in the Tang Dynasty.

Although Li Daoyuan was not interested in these political struggles, he was very excited to meet the Emperor of Tang in this era.

Will there be an achievement?
Li Daoyuan looked left and right, and all the ministers present were somewhat disdainful.

Sure enough, the people under King Jianning are all bumpkins, and they don't even know court etiquette.

However, the feudal etiquette of the Tang Dynasty was not as strict as that of later generations. Everyone just thought that Li Daoyuan was a bumpkin, and no one came up to participate in his "disrespect in front of the palace".

It was not until the front row that Li Daoyuan saw the emperor's appearance clearly.

Li Heng's appearance is very similar to that of King Jianning, but his body is thin and stooped.

In fact, Li Heng is less than 50 years old now, but the torture of the prince's career under Li Longji for many years, coupled with the heavy burden of countering the rebellion, made Li Heng look as old as an old man in his 70s or [-]s.

In contrast, Wei Jiansu is already 65, but he has been pampered for a long time and is hale and hearty, looking younger than the emperor.

"Li Daoyuan, the marching commander of the Jianning Palace, has met His Majesty." Li Daoyuan did not understand the etiquette of the pilgrimage, so he said casually.

However, Li Heng didn't care whether his etiquette was in compliance, but asked directly:

"Let's be free from the ceremony. I summoned you here today. I want to ask if what was written in King Jianning's victory document is true?"

Li Heng deliberately used an oppressive tone. If Li Daoyuan told the "truth", then Li Heng could use the majesty of the emperor to suppress this matter, and no longer discuss the origin of the [-] cattle and sheep that paid tribute. King Ning was charged with "falsely reporting military achievements and deceiving the emperor".

Although this crime is serious, it is much better than "exploiting the people and looting the place". At worst, Wang Jue of King Jianning will be dismissed and he will be called back from Longyou.

Ordinary people would definitely panic when they saw the emperor asking such a serious question.

But for the players, what kind of immortal emperor is just a special NPC in Li Daoyuan's view.

He didn't even look like Shuai Jianning.

And did the emperor send himself a task?
Li Daoyuan couldn't feel the majesty of the so-called emperor at all, he just said:
"My subordinates have brought the victory report. The old Uighur Khan attacked Ge Luolu, a vassal state of the Tang Dynasty without authorization. King Jianning, with Cao Lingzhong as his general, defeated Gele Khan's army at the foot of Jinshan Mountain."

"The livestock I brought is what was captured in the Battle of Jinshan."

The emperor frowned and said nothing, Wei Jiansu said:
"How many soldiers and horses did Gele Khan lead?"

"The elite of the Uighur king's account plus the Beilin army, there are about [-] cavalry capable of fighting."

Wei Jiansu smiled, King Jianning is so bold!

Fifty thousand Uighur cavalry would be able to fight from the grassland to Fengxiang mansion!Could it be that you, a mere king of Jianning, can destroy it?
Since you are bragging so much, don't blame the truth for being rude!
