A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 381

Morning the next day.

The governor of Liangzhou who had just returned to Beijing, the governor of Liangzhou, the governor of Yingguo, the governor of Lizhou, the governor of Lizhou, the governor of Lu'an County, the governor of Wushiyi, the minister of Xinongqing, and the governor of Xuancheng County, the governor of Wushi, all wrote together to resign.

The reason is the same, getting older.

But when these words came out, many people in the palace wanted to laugh.

Samurai Leng, the eldest of the three brothers, is over 70 years old, but now he has to take in at least four or five new concubines a year. This old man now has more than 50 children, and he is still taking concubines to have children. It is said He is also very vigorous and vigorous, very old and vigorous.

It is said that they ate the alchemy prepared by Wu Huaiyu, so the old tree is in spring, because of this live advertisement, it even drove the sale of these tonic pills in the Qianjintang of the Wu family.

The samurai Xun and the samurai Yi brothers are both in their fifties. One is the governor of Liangzhou and the other is the governor of Lizhou.
Recruit rebels, caress the old and the weak, relieve their lack and open their heads.

Not only quickly stabilized the two places, and the county was peaceful, but also cracked down on local tyrants, resumed production, eased labor, rushed agriculture and mulberry industry, reopened the Silk Road, and revitalized industry and commerce, all of which performed very well.

Even the resumes of the two brothers are very impressive. Not to mention Samurai Xun, he has worked in the central and local areas, and Samurai Yi is not bad. He assisted Yuanji to stay in Taiyuan in the early years. Deploy, and then secretly report to the court.

Later, he went to Daxingtai, Yizhou to be the Zuo Cheng of Xingtai, and he also performed very well. He also served as the governor of Shaozhou, and then the governor of Lizhou. The first two governors of Lizhou, Li Xiaochang and Luo Shou, were rebels. Chunk did extremely well.

Now the three brothers are going to resign, all in the name of being old, but the warrior Yidu is only in his early fifties.

Everyone knows that this is all because of the prophecy that suddenly spread in Chang'an.

The lethality of this prophecy is indeed astonishing.

Yesterday Wu Huaiyu was dismissed from the four important posts of the General of the Left Army, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, the Master of the Chongxian Pavilion, and the Prince Youwei. Today, the three brothers of the Wu family will also resign.

The emperor sat in the hall for a long time without saying a word.

Prime Minister Wei Zheng stood up.

Please play when you are out of class, thinking that someone attacked and seriously injured the court ministers with ulterior motives, and asked the court to investigate thoroughly, so that this kind of unhealthy trend must not be encouraged.

Everyone could not have imagined that Wei Zheng, who used to like Wu Huaiyu very much, would stand up and take the initiative to help Wu Huaiyu this time. Even when Wei Zheng and the warrior Xun were in the court, they had a fierce dispute over Wu Huaiyu's reward.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Shanguo, Inspector of Qizhou, please play."

Zheng Shanguo, Duke of Xingyang County, came out to play.

This is a representative of the Zheng family in Xingyang with five surnames and seven families. His uncle Zheng Yi was a classmate of Yang Jian in the Northern Zhou Dynasty and an important figure who helped Yang Jian usurp the throne and build the Sui Dynasty. Zheng Shanguo, who was only nine years old, took the title of duke of the county because of this. After the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, he was granted the title of Duke of Wude County.

At the age of 14, he became a governor.

His mother, Qinghe Cui, married into the Zheng family at the age of 13, but became a widow in her twenties. Her son served as the governor at 14. Cui, who was in her 20s, would sit behind the curtain and listen to the government every time her son was in charge of politics. Then he will analyze with his son whether the case is reasonable and so on.

With such a mother who has always supported him, Zheng Shanguo had a smooth official career in the Sui Dynasty, and was even praised as the most capable and capable official, all the way to Dali. After his mother died, Zheng Shanguo gradually became arrogant.

In the early years, when Li Yuan was the prefect of Xingyang, Zheng Shanguo had a good relationship with Li Yuan. Under the decision of Zheng Shanguo and his cousin Zheng Yuanxuan, the Zheng family of Xingyang betrothed Zheng Guanyin to Li Yuan's eldest son Li Jiancheng.

After Li Yuan established the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Shanguo and the Zheng family of Xingyang also fully supported it. During the reign of Wude, the brothers Zheng Shanguo and Zheng Yuanxuan also held important positions in the court.

Before the change of Xuanwu Gate, Zheng Shanguo was the Duke of Xingyang County, inspected Dali Temple Minister and Minister of Civil Affairs, and Prince Zuo Shuzi, and also inspected the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Rites.

Zheng Yuanxuan was made the Duke of Shen, and successively paid homage to Taichangqing, Hongluqing, and General Zuowuhou.

Zheng Shanguo is a person who has half a foot in the political affairs hall. If it weren't for the change of Xuanwumen, he must have already worshiped the prime minister.

The head of Jiancheng's concubine's family is a diehard of Jiancheng.

However, because he was the head of the Zheng family in Xingyang, after the Xuanwu Gate, Li Shimin just transferred him to be the governor of Qizhou.

But the emperor's beating on the Zheng family has never stopped, and the Zheng family has gradually surrendered over the past year, and even specially sent a Zheng talent to Li Shimin's palace.

However, when Zheng Shanguo stood up, he didn't want to speak for the Wu family like Wei Zheng.

He came to impeach Wei Zheng.

"Prime Minister Wei Zheng and the Wu family are relatives by marriage. Now he stands up to speak for the Wu family, but it is selfish. As a prime minister, it is against the law to favor relatives. I want to impeach Wei Zheng."

Zheng Shanguo was the Duke of Xixian County at the age of nine, and became the governor at the age of 14. Now he is nearly [-] years old and has been an official for more than [-] years. He has held important positions and has high qualifications and prestige. Very spicy.

Directly impeach the prime minister.

The crime is to favor relatives and pervert the law. For the prime minister, this is a crime that can dismiss the prime minister.

It is well known that Wei Zheng's second son, Pingwu Huaiyu, is the fourth younger sister.

Li Shimin named Wen Yanbo, the official censor, "Wen Qing."

"Your Majesty, as the prime minister, Wei Zheng and Wu Huaiyu are related by marriage. Wei Zheng should avoid suspicion when it comes to relatives. Even if he is selfless in heart, he is still to blame."

Wen Yanbo didn't give Wei Zheng any face, and directly said that Wei Zheng should not interfere and should avoid it.If you don't avoid it, there is a problem.

This is tantamount to agreeing with Zheng Shanguo's impeachment of Wei Zheng.

But Wen Yanbo changed the subject, and then started to talk about Zheng Shanguo. He thought that although Wei Zheng should avoid him, what he said was fine, and the court could not deal with a minister hastily because of a rumor.

Zheng Shanguo immediately began to attack Wen Yanbo.

"The truth is not related to the Wu family." Wen Yanbo said bluntly.

"Your son of the Wen family is serving as an assistant in Wu Huaiyu's shogunate. Is it okay?" Zheng Shanguo asked.

The two fought fiercely with each other, and they actually competed in the hall.

Wen Yanbo was in charge of the Yushitai, and also presided over the Zhongshu Province. He used to be Li Yuan's imperial pen.

Zheng Shanguo opened his mouth very well, but he couldn't help Wen Yanbo.

Zheng Shanguo was extremely angry, and directly attacked personally, "Wen Yanbo is just a villain who is greedy for life and afraid of death, what qualifications does he have to be a prime minister, he is boastful here, can he be trusted?"

As soon as these words came out, Wen Yanbo's face flushed red, which had touched his bottom line.

In the eighth year of Wude, Wen Yanbo served as the commander-in-chief of the general Zhang Jin as the Minister of Zhongshu. As a result, the army was almost wiped out in Taigu, and only Zhang Jin escaped alone. Wen Yanbo was captured by the Turks and brought back. Sheep in Mobei.

It was not until the Weishui alliance was formed in the ninth year of Wude that Turkic people agreed to send Wen Yanbo back, and they had been herding sheep in Turkic for more than a year. This was the last experience Wen Yanbo wanted to mention.

However, Zheng Shanguo said that after Wen Yanbo was captured, he should apologise with death and show his ambition with death, and he should not prolong his life and be afraid of death.

Such a person, how can he be qualified to be a prime minister?
Originally, Wei Zheng had already shut up, but now he also stood up and confronted Zheng Shanguo.

Wei Zheng is much more skilled than Wen Yanbo.

Wu Huaiyu knelt in the hall, watched the lively scene, secretly glanced at the emperor, and found that the emperor was also watching with a gloomy face, but did not stop immediately.

It is well known that Wei Zheng had a feud with Zheng Shanguo.

The reason is also simple, that is, the Zheng family sent Zheng Wanyan to Li Shimin's palace earlier, which was considered a certificate of honor, but then, for some reason, Empress Changsun heard that the Zheng family had a more beautiful little Zheng, who had a very special appearance. It was too late.

Empress Changsun personally came forward to ask Li Shimin to canonize her as Chonghua, one of the nine concubines, which was also to win over the Zheng family of Xingyang for the emperor.

Li Shimin naturally pushed the boat along the way, and issued an edict to canonize the Zheng family as Chonghua.

This little Zheng is the daughter of Zheng Renji, the official of the court, she is sixteen or seventeen years old, and she is indeed prettier than Zheng Wanyan.

At that time, the imperial edict had been issued, and the canonized angel had not yet set off. At this time, Wei Zheng came out to disrupt the situation.

Wei Zheng met the emperor and said that he had heard that Zheng Renji's daughter had been betrothed to Lu Shuang. Although she was not married, she was already engaged after the ceremony. Isn't the emperor the wife of a courtier?
Li Shimin is also a person who wants to save face. It was a good thing, so why did he become the emperor's wife?

So the black face wanted to withdraw the order, but at this time the Zheng family quit.

Zheng Shanguo and Zheng Yuanxuan brothers found Fang Xuanling and asked the prime minister to report to the emperor in person, saying that the Zheng and Lu families had never been engaged. Shi welcomes him into the palace.

Then Zheng's fiancé, Lu Shuang, also wrote to the emperor, saying that when my father Lu Kang was around, Zheng Renji and Zheng Renji were colleagues and friends, and the relationship between the two families was very close.

It's a loan, not Pingli, and he has no engagement with Mrs. Zheng at all.

This matter is actually very obvious. Lu Shuang and the Zheng family did have a marriage contract, but the emperor wanted a woman, and the Zheng family wanted to flatter her. Lu Shuang was just a son of an ordinary gentry. Would he dare to rob the emperor for a woman?

Naturally, Pingli can only be described as a loan.

This was the way it was, and the emperor continued to confer the Zheng family and brought it into the palace. Everyone was happy, and even Lu Shuang might get an official position.

But Wei Zheng admits to death.

Insisting on fighting to the end, Fang Xuanling, the emperor, the Zheng family and even Lu Shuang were all angry, and some witnesses were called. In the end, Li Shimin had no choice but to give up the stunning Zheng beauty.

But although the matter of being included in the palace was suspended, it was impossible for Lu Shuang to marry the Zheng family again, so the Zheng family sent this stunning Zheng beauty into a monastery as a nun.

Wei Zheng even wanted to impeach Zheng's crime of bullying the emperor, but fortunately Li Shimin finally pressed the matter.

But Wei Zheng and Liang Zi of the Zheng family are completely married.

Your Majesty.

Wen Yanbo rolled up his sleeves, Zheng Shanguo wanted to do it, and Wei Zheng was still spraying nine times a second.

"enough!"

The emperor roared like a dragon's chant.

The emperor flung his sleeves away.

Later, the servant came out with the emperor's will.

As prime ministers, Wei Zheng and Wen Yanbo had a dispute in front of the emperor, and the emperor was rude in front of him. Their salary was suspended for one month and they were fined twenty catties of copper.Zheng Shanguo, governor of Qizhou, stopped his salary for three months and fined him sixty catties of copper.

"The governor of Liangzhou, the Duke of Zhou, samurai Yi, moved to the governor of Jingzhou, and the governor of Gongli Prefecture, Lu'an County, Samurai Yi, moved to the governor of Yuzhou.

Xu Si Nongqing, the public warrior of Xuancheng County, retired, and Xu Shenfang Square Office ordered the warrior Ke to retire, both of whom were specially decreed to give full salary.

Sima Wu Huaiyi of Guazhou Governor's Mansion moved to Shaozhou Governor. "

Wu Huaiyu was expressionless when he heard the will.

The three ministers had a dispute in the palace, and the punishment was very light. In the past, Xiao Yu and Chen Shuda had such disputes, but they just ended up fighting each other.

Now it is just to stop the salary and fine dozens of catties of copper.

Although the emperor did not accept the resignation of the samurai Xun and the others, they were all mobilized. Even Father Wu didn't resign, and the emperor allowed him to become an official.

Huaiyi was also transferred from Hexi to Lingnan.

It seems that this matter is not over yet.

Zheng Shanguo danced so happily, could it be related to the Zheng family?
