Recreating the prosperous Tang begins with summoning players

Chapter 693 Audit
Gu Kuang stood outside the gate of Tai Chi Palace, holding a memorial to impeach Prince Chu in his hand.

All the officials in the hall looked at Gu Kuang. This No. 2 in the imperial examination was a disciple of Li Mi who had just paid homage to Prime Minister Li Mi. Many ministers present knew this relationship.

As soon as Li Mi paid homage to the prime minister, his disciples impeached Prince Chu.

Those who were able to stand in the hall were old veterans from the officialdom, and they quickly smelled something unusual.

The ministers were all silent. It can be said that the dust has settled in Chang'an. For the court, raising one Supreme Emperor is also raising, and raising two Supreme Emperors is also raising. Even if King Yue ascends the throne, he will not harm the emperor. Imprison Li Heng.

But how to treat Prince Chu has become a serious problem.

Li Mi also looked at his disciple in surprise. After leaving Chang'an, Li Mi separated from Gu Kuang. Although they kept writing letters, Li Mi did not instruct Gu Kuang to write a letter.

Gu Kuang himself could think of writing this letter, which is enough to show that his teachings are effective, and it seems that there are successors in his lineage.

Li Tan was also very conflicted about how to deal with Prince Chu.

But after Gu Kuang wrote the letter, the contradiction in Li Tan's heart disappeared instead.

Yes, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people!
The crime committed by Prince Chu is the reason for arresting him!

Arrest him to Chang'an for interrogation first!
Li Tan said:
"Gu Kuang, the censor in the palace, went to Bianzhou to bring the crown prince back to Chang'an for questioning."

"Follow His Majesty's order!"

Only now did the ministers who were full of the court react, and another great contribution to making a decision flew away from their hands!

How to deal with the deposed prince is also the most important problem that Li Tan needs to solve before he ascends the throne. I didn't expect that a small servant in the palace took the credit, and the ministers standing in the court sighed, why didn't I think of it? !
Maybe it's because I thought of it, but I didn't dare to come forward.

In this way, Li Tan's first court meeting after entering Chang'an finally came to an end. When the ministers returned home, some of them were terrified, hugging their wives and weeping bitterly in order to escape from death.

Some people are ambitious and want to establish credit in the new dynasty.

The ministers have their own ideas, but the Chang'an court has settled down.

Immediately afterwards, various measures agreed at the North Korean meeting began to be implemented.

Xu Jun led the staff of the staff department, which has now been changed to the staff department of the inner court, and began to take over the defense fortress near Chang'an.

Chang'an was the capital of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, not only because the Sui and Tang Dynasties started from Guanzhong, but also because of the danger in Guanzhong.

The overall situation in Guanzhong was settled, and it took no effort at all to take over these pass fortresses. The group quickly came to Tongguan and took over the most important fortress leading to Guanzhong.

When Tongguan fell into the hands of the player's army, Li Tan really breathed a sigh of relief, and now Chang'an is stable!
At this time, Chang'an had returned to normal order. Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun rode into Chang'an City, and got the news that the King of Yue had entered Beijing to be the regent.

Nan Jiyun looked at Zhang Wu blankly and said:

"Brother Zhang, what shall we do?"

Originally, the two came to Chang'an from Qilu not far away, but Nan Jiyun wanted to persuade Li Heng, the emperor, with a mortal heart.

But I didn't expect that people are not as good as heaven, and after finally coming to Chang'an, Li Heng, the emperor, is gone.

Zhang Wu naturally knew the news about King Yue's regent. He looked at Chang'an City and said:
"How about we ask to see His Royal Highness the King of Yue?"

Nan Jiyun thought for a while, he came to Chang'an to meet the king, since the king of Yue is now the king, let's meet the king of Yue.

The two sent a memorial to the General Administration Department. The officials of the General Administration Department saw that this knight-errant dressed-up man turned out to be a court official, and they did not dare to be negligent, so they sent their memorial to the Taiji Palace. .

Li Tan quickly summoned Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun.

Li Tan was very interested in Zhang Wu and Nan Jiyun, and dragged them along for a long time.

He also asked Nan Jiyun about the story of the Battle of Suiyang in detail, and when he heard that Nan Jiyun's army broke through the blockade and entered Suiyang City with supplies, Li Tan clapped his hands and applauded.

Li Tan accepted Nan Jiyun's persuasion and expressed that he would resolutely wipe out the Hedong rebels.

Nan Jiyun was very excited and said:

"Your Highness, Nan is willing to die for His Highness!"

Generals like Nan Jiyun are actually very simple. Back then, he was willing to follow Zhang Xun to die for Suiyang, and he valued righteousness more than his own life in his heart.

And Nan Jiyun was not from a scholar-official background, so he was not as entangled as Zhang Xun.

Now the king of Yue expressed his appreciation for him and stated that he would resolutely put down the chaos, which gave Nan Jiyun an idea of ​​"supporting Yulong to die for the king".

Li Tan immediately ordered Nan Jiyun to train troops near Chang'an, preparing to lead troops to the front to support Guo Ziyi.

As for Zhang Wu, Li Tan looked at his "Legendary Assassin" and said:
"Zhang Wu."

"The minister is here."

"I ordered you to reconcile with Gu Kuang, the censor in the palace, and go to Bianzhou to go to Chang'an to discuss the crime."

"Follow His Majesty's order!"

Nan Jiyun and Zhang Wu received new errands, and galloped into Chang'an City again.

The righteous son next to Li Fuguo sent Li Fuguo's head to Chang'an, which aroused the shock of "Xiaoxiao", an old general of the Shence Army.

On the normal historical track, Jianning King Li Tan was killed by Empress Zhang and Li Fuguo.

And Li Longji was also imprisoned by Li Heng under Li Fuguo's slander.

It's just that because of time travel, neither of these things happened.

But Li Fuguo is still the number one power eunuch in the Tang court, and he has done a lot of illegal things secretly, and even made the Shence Army a mess.

Li Tan just ordered people to hang Li Fuguo's head on the city wall, and rewarded the eunuch player who offered Li Fuguo's head.

Now everyone in Chang'an knew that the dust had settled, and there was no longer any force in Guanzhong that could threaten King Yue.

The summer in Taiji Palace is very difficult, the heat pours into the palace from all directions, and Li Tan also begins to miss the air conditioner.

In other words, can the current technology manufacture air conditioners?

Li Tan shook his fan, trying to dissipate some of the heat, he didn't like the maid standing behind him fanning the wind, so he could only shake the fan himself.

Li Tan also finally understood why his ancestor Emperor Taizong built Daming Palace outside Taiji Palace.

The weather is gloomy today, and the sultry air seems to be about to rain. Li Tan is sitting in the gazebo, playing chess with Li Bi.

Since the last court meeting, Li Tan has never been to the court again.

At the beginning, the officials and officials secretly rejoiced. They thought that the king of Yue would greatly adjust the court when he went to Beijing, but he did not expect that the king of Yue would not do so.

The ministers felt that it might be because King Yue had been in Longyou for a long time, and there was not enough talent under him, so there was no way to make large-scale adjustments to the court. It seems that the Tang Dynasty still relied on us "veteran ministers"!

At this moment, the big and small officials in the court regained their confidence, and the atmosphere in Chang'an Yamen seemed to be lazy again.

But before the ministers could be happy for a long time, suddenly a group of Zhongshushe people holding Yue Wang's warrant rushed into the six yamen and began to "audit" the six yamen.

Zhongshu Sheren, this is a position in the inner court, and like the Hanlin Bachelor, he is the emperor's private minister.

However, the Zhongshu Sheren in the Tang Dynasty were basically ministers who accompanied the emperor to have fun, and their rank was not high, and they were not even considered as court ministers.

But after Li Tan entered Chang'an, he appointed many Zhongshu Sheren. Anyway, the salary of Zhongshu Sheren was not paid by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the court ministers didn't feel much about this kind of thing.

But I didn't expect that these people from Zhongshushe entered the sixth part, and they really turned the six parts upside down.

No matter how small the mistake is in the account, these Zhongshushe people can find it, and then hold on to it.

The worst ones are of course the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry.

The officials in the Ministry of Officials were surveying, but they were piled up in several warehouses. More than a dozen people from Zhongshushe rushed into the Ministry of Officials and directly began to check the files of these officials.

At the beginning, the officials of the Ministry of Officials were all holding the idea of ​​reading a joke. Even the Ministry of Officials couldn't understand these files. Those under King Yue's men were not even Jinshi people from Zhongshushe. What problems can they see?
But I didn't expect this group of Zhongshushe people to look at it for a few days, and then they made a long list of questions, starting with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and everyone who handled it called to come to the court for questioning.

Those who violated the imperial court's regulations were promoted, those who had problems in the assessment were not dismissed, and those who forged files were inconsistent before and after the investigation. These problems were all dug out by the staff of Zhongshushe and written one by one on paper.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials was trembling, and most of the problems were unknown to him.

For a department like the Ministry of Officials that has been in operation for a long time, there are naturally a group of officials who have worked here for generations. These officials are not high-ranking, but they have mastered a lot of clerical work.

Every new Minister of the Ministry of Officials also wants to make a little change, to scare the chickens and monkeys.

However, seeing the voluminous archives of the Ministry of Officials, and facing so many overt and secret rules of the Ministry of Officials, it is difficult for the successive Ministers of the Ministry of Officials to find out the problem.

Unexpectedly, after a few days of investigation by the Zhongshushe people of the King of Yue, they found so many problems, which made the old officials in the official department tremble. It is absolutely impossible for the old officials who are not old in politics found these problems.

Just when the Ministry of Officials was in dire straits, more problems were found in the accounts of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. It is said that Shan Tao, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, had brought people from Dali Temple to search for officials with problems in the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry. .

At this time, the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment happily watched their colleagues suffer. They did not expect King Yue to have so many talents who are proficient in official affairs and financial planning, but our Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment are both professional affairs. I am afraid that the King of Yue has no way to investigate. ?

But before the officials of the Ministry of Punishment were happy, more than a dozen Zhongshu Sheren came to the entrance of the Ministry of Punishment holding Yue Wang's decree.
