A Good Landlord in the Tang Dynasty: Emperor Yuan Cong

Chapter 881: His Majesty’s Long Live Life

Nine-Nine Double Ninth Festival,

Climb high and look far.

What the emperor wanted to climb most was Mount Tai. Standing on Fenghuang Mountain west of Jiucheng Palace, the emperor looked to the east. That was the direction of Mount Tai and the direction of the fiefdom of the fifth king of Qi, Li You.

"Assholes, a bunch of assholes."

The emperor returned west from Luoyang at the end of August. He spent three days passing through Chang'an, and then returned to Jiucheng Palace in Qizhou to accompany the queen.

The matter of the Yellow River floods had not yet been dealt with, but Xue Dading, the chief official of the King of Qi, sent a report to the emperor.

Xue Dading wrote thousands of words in blood and cried out to the emperor.

The great changes after the King of Qi came out to control Qing Qi were told exactly. This Xue Changshi reported all the King of Qi's disobedience to the law, his association with evil spirits, his fondness for hunting, and his excessive arrogance, and pointed the finger of these problems directly at him. The Yan brothers, as well as Yin Hongzhi, who recommended the Yan brothers, even Wei Ting, King Qi's prospective father-in-law, were impeached, because King Qi also had several Wei family children around him.

Xue Dading was very smart. Even when he filed a complaint against King Qi, he did not say that you, Li Shimin, were not good at breeding and were not taught strictly. Instead, he said that King Qi was a good young man, but unfortunately he was led astray by the evil spirits around him.

Xue Dading also blamed the Yan brothers and others for many of the messy things Li You did in Qi Mansion.

Then he apologized to the emperor, saying that he had failed to live up to the emperor's expectations and failed to perform his duties well, so he asked for punishment.

But even if he was dismissed from office, he still had to report the situation to the emperor truthfully. If he could no longer control it, His Highness King Qi would really be led astray.

The emperor was furious.

After a long time, the emperor calmed down and read Xue Dading's memorial again. The more he read, the more he felt that what he said made sense.

Li You was just fourteen years old and thirteen when he went to the fiefdom. The King of Qi was still young, so he immediately joined the feudal clan after leaving the cabinet. He was young and inexperienced. Although his temperament was known to be a bit arrogant, it was not that bad.

Now that King Qi has done so many shitty things, it is certainly not that King Qi is bad because of his small bones, but that the people around him failed to fulfill their duties, and even deliberately led the fifth to evil.

He was convinced of this,

Just like last year, the Taoist priests Qin Ying and Le Tong were so evil that they confused the East Palace and almost killed the prince.

The emperor calmed down, thought for a long time, and issued three secret edicts.

Then he wrote a personal letter to Li You, patiently teaching and admonishing him.

A few days later,

Li Shimin met people from Baiqi, Huangcheng, Liumen, etc. in Jiucheng Palace. They had all received secret orders before, asking them to secretly investigate King Qi's affairs.

The work efficiency is still very fast.

"The things mentioned in Xue Dading's memorial are all true, and there is no fabrication or exaggeration."

The results were similar. After investigation, Xue Dading's report was verified.

I have not wronged Li You, and I have not wronged the Yan brothers and others.

The six-door report was the most detailed and was sent to Jiucheng Palace by Gao Huitong himself. Li Shimin chatted with her for a long time and he trusted this woman who was arranged outside the palace.

Gao Huitong lived up to expectations and provided some things that the Imperial City Division and Baiqisi Division did not dare to say, such as Li You's true situation now,

Lawless, arrogant and extravagant.

Not only did he cause chaos in Qi Mansion,

The most important thing is that Li You actually raised dead soldiers at a young age and secretly raised hundreds of people.

The Imperial City Division and the Baiqi Division did not report this, not because they deliberately concealed it, but because they did not dare to talk nonsense because they had not yet obtained definite evidence.

Liumen was better at doing things than them. They had already arranged for people to vote for Li You as a dead soldier. They even gained Yan Hongliang's trust and became the little leader among the dead soldiers, knowing many details.

Li Shimin was very angry.

The wind of anger is about to break out,

He couldn't believe that his son had become like this. Last year, Prince Cheng Qian went astray, which made Li Shimin sad for a long time, but he didn't expect that Li You would be even more outrageous.

"What do they want to do?"

"Do you want to rebel against me?"

Gao Huitong looked at the furious emperor and did not comfort him, but added fuel to the fire.

"Yin Hongzhi, the uncle of the King of Qi, once said to him that since there are many brothers in the king's army, it is appropriate for your majesty to have strong men to defend himself after he has lived forever."

boom!

Li Shimin was so angry that his lips were trembling, and he kicked over several cases in front of him.

Anger is hard to get rid of,

The emperor took off the jade sword from the wall,

Clang!

The sword is unsheathed,

The emperor held the sword in his hand and looked around blankly, wishing he could kill Yin Hongzhi immediately.

Gao Huitong's words were overheard by the maid who was stationed in Yin Hongzhi's mansion at Liumen. Before Yin Hongzhi left the capital to join the vassal, the two of them whispered in the study of his mansion.

Apart from Yin Hongzhi and Li You, only the six-door hidden stake knew this.

"Xu Luoren!"

Li Shimin called to the old man, "Take Baiqi back to Chang'an immediately and bring Yin Hongzhi."

"In secrecy," the emperor added.

The emperor wanted to question Yin Hongzhi face to face, and asked Gao Huitong to call the maidservant in the underworld. If Yin Hongzhi refused, he would confront her.

Recruit dead soldiers,

This has exceeded Li Shimin's bottom line. If it were just arrogance, lewdness, and manic love for hunting, he would still tolerate it because of his youth. But Li You dared to recruit dead soldiers at such a young age, and he would never allow it.

Although Li Shimin did more excessive things when he was the prince, this kind of thing will never be allowed to happen again.

Even if Yin Hongzhi told Li You that he was planning for the future, that there would be someone around him who could defend himself after Li Shimin died, this kind of thing was out of the question.

Changan.

Yin Hongzhi didn't know yet that something had happened to his nephew in the Qi Mansion, nor did he know that the Emperor of Jiucheng Palace was furious.

He is in a good mood recently,

The title of "Inspection School" of the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs will be taken away soon. Gao Shilian, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and a member of the Political Affairs Bureau, has come to interview him. He said that when the emperor passed through Chang'an a few days ago, he summoned the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall and raised the issue. I want him to formally pay homage to the Minister of Civil Affairs.

This step is very important.

The minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the head of the six departments, although there is more than one minister, but becoming the minister of the Ministry of Personnel will greatly increase the power in his hands, and he can even enter the political hall with one foot. Perhaps ten years later, he will also He can be honored as Yin Xiang Gong. When he told his wife, Yan, she couldn't help but be happy, "Ms. sir,"

"lady,"

The two smiled and called each other husband and madam.

Given their current status, this title was an overstep.

Even if he takes the position of minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, he is still far from being able to be called a gentleman, but they can't wait to experience it in advance.

Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the fourth rank,

It is only one step away from the third level.

However, the position of the Minister of Staff is very important, so often the Minister of Staff of the fourth rank can also give goldfish in purple robes.

"When will the prosecution of the Minister of Secretariat be issued?"

"Will you follow Gao Shen and issue a decree to bestow purple gold?"

"After becoming the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, how many years will it take to truly rise to the third rank and enter the ranks of relatives and nobles?"

Mrs. Yan's face was full of joy. She hugged her husband and kept asking questions. She even imagined that after her husband reached the third rank, she would be granted the title of Lady of the County. Then when she went to the palace to see her cousin Concubine Yan Xian, things would be different. Even You can also go with the ladies of the country to meet the queen on important festivals.

"Soon, just in the next few days!" Yin Hongzhi said with a smile.

······

The housekeeper came in a hurry, jogging to meet him.

"Alang, someone is coming from the palace."

"Why are you panicking?" Yin Hongzhi was overjoyed when he heard that someone was coming from the palace. It seemed that he had officially received the decree to be granted the title of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and he might even be given a special gift of a purple-robed goldfish, "Don't be like this in the future. I was in a panic and went to prepare gifts."

"Alang, here is Xu Luoren,"

Xu Luoren, General Yunhui, was the Zhonglang General of the Left Prison Gate, the Chief of the North Gate, and also led the Hundred Cavalry Battalion. He was also the Duke of Shangzhu State and Jiangxia County. There was also a Zhenguan Yuancong meritorious official.

Yin Hongzhi was stunned when he heard that he was coming.

Because he remembered that Xu Luoren had always been with him, and he should be in Jiucheng Palace now.

"Alang, Xu Luoren came with people from Baiqisi. He broke into the house directly and couldn't stop him. The person who came here is evil. I'll report it first."

Before he finished speaking,

There is already a noise outside,

The servants of the Yin family tried to stop Xu Luoren, but Xu Luoren was not polite at all and directly ordered his hundreds of cavalry to rush in. The person who blocked him was knocked to the ground and they rushed all the way.

Yin Hongzhi walked out quickly with a gloomy expression.

I saw Baiqi beating someone.

"General Xu, what does this mean?"

Yin Hongzhi stepped forward, gritting his teeth to suppress his anger.

Yin Hongzhi is not too old, and is younger than the emperor. The things Master Yin Shi did to Li Yuan almost caused the Yin family to be wiped out. Yin Hongzhi only survived when he was young at that time. Later, he relied on his sister to survive in the Qin Dynasty. Only then did the favored prince turn over.

After experiencing the changes in the past, others are still relatively stable.

His sister is Concubine Yin De, and his wife's cousin is Concubine Yan Xian. Of the four concubines in the palace, two of his relatives account for them, not to mention the Yin family of Wuwei and the Yan family of Xianbei, both of which are famous generals and wealthy families.

Xu Luoren is the emperor's confidant, he will not know it,

His current behavior was very abnormal, but it also sent shivers down Yin Hongzhi's spine.

Something big has happened.

Xu Luoren stood in the courtyard, looking at Yin Hongzhi from a distance, as if he were looking at a dead person.

"According to the Holy Order, please immediately ask Mr. Yin to follow me to Jiucheng Palace to meet the Holy Spirit."

"General Xu, is there something wrong with my sister?" Yin Hongzhi stepped forward and asked in a low voice, and asked the housekeeper to get the gift. "General, I recently got a golden horse. It is very beautiful. I know that the general likes good horses. Although I am only made of gold, it is very vivid. I give it to the general to play with."

Xu Luoren ignored it and said, "Let's go."

Yin Hongzhi was flustered, "I'll ask someone to pack their luggage..."

"No need, leave now,"

"It's getting late, why don't you have a meal first? I'll have someone arrange it. I'll go to Fan Lou and order a table of dishes. You can also ask the kitchen to come and cook them..."

Xu Luoren looked cold and said rudely, "Does Mr. Yin not understand what I said, or does he want me to ask someone to take you away in chains?"

Yin Hongzhi felt dizzy and almost lost his balance. His face was extremely pale, "General Xu, what happened?"

"You know what the hell you did. Let's go to Jiucheng Palace and explain it to His Majesty face to face!"

Yin Hongzhi still didn’t know what happened.

I thought it had something to do with my sister, but now it sounds like it happened to me. But what exactly is it?

Xu Luoren was not polite to him and had people drag him out of the house. Horses were prepared outside the door. The group got on the horses and took him directly out of Chang'an City and towards Qizhou.

Arriving at Jiucheng Palace,

He visited the emperor in panic. When the emperor cursed him, he finally realized that it was because of his nephew, King Li You of Qi, that he had asked his brother-in-law Yan Hongxin and Yan Hongliang to recruit dead soldiers for his nephew.

"I originally said that when you came, I would personally kill you bastard. I even wanted to cut you into pieces."

"That's all, Concubine Yin is the only one from your brother's family. She is quite pitiful."

"Take away all official positions, demote to common people, and open up Qiongshan Village on Zhuya Island in the south of Changliu Mountains. You will not be able to leave for the rest of your life."

The emperor waved his hand,

"get out,"

Yin Hongzhi collapsed on the ground and was dragged out by the guards.

Originally, I was still dreaming of being promoted to the Minister of Civil Service, but my wife and I started calling her husband's wife, but now I have become a long-lived person in Lingnan?
