Early Tang Dynasty: forge ahead

Chapter 278 Everything is as expected

Wei Hongying rarely fished this day, but stayed anxiously in Taichang Temple, waiting for news.

Taichang Temple is in charge of the ancestral temple etiquette and the cultivation of ritual and music. It is the highest administrative agency of etiquette and law.

After thinking about it all night last night, Wei Hongying felt that he could start with transgression.

Chen Qingsi has made such a great contribution this time, but he is not rewarded. I think His Majesty is dissatisfied with him for meddling in Mobei's affairs.

Use this idea to impeach, and keep it accurate.

Therefore, Wei Hongying eloquently wrote a thousand-word impeachment memorial, accusing Chen Qingsi of acting wildly and inconsistent with etiquette.

Although Wei Hongying was an idle official in Taichang Temple, the legal system of the Tang Dynasty was deeply influenced by Li Shimin, who opened up a wide range of opinions and did not hold people accountable for their opinions, so Wei Hongying had the right to speak in this regard.

Early this morning, Wei Hongying submitted his memorial to impeach Chen Qingsi.

Wei Hongying was a little excited, thinking that his impeachment must be in line with the holy will. Maybe without his uncle's support, he could get into the eyes of the emperor and get a chance to take off.

Gearing up.

His eyes looked outside the house, like looking at the husband's stone.

Suddenly a figure appeared in front of him. Wei Hongying was startled, and immediately stepped forward and said: "I've seen home before... ah!"

The figure walked as fast as flying, came to Wei Hongying, and slapped him in the face.

Wei Hongying spun twice like a top, fell to the ground, hit his head on the ground, and let out another scream.

Wei Hongying was stunned by this slap. He didn't know who I was or where I was.

The person seemed to be displeased with the slap, and then stepped forward and kicked him again.

Wei Hongying was kicked to the ground and woke up. He felt inexplicably sad and angry, but he did not dare to say anything.

Because the person who came was his cousin Wei Hongbiao, who was also the current head of Jingzhao Webster.

Although they are cousins, they are more than thirty years apart. They are older and older in their lineage.

Wei Hongbiao was born in Jingzhao Wei's Prince Consort's House, started as Zuo Xunwei, and was responsible for the imperial guard. He had a close relationship with Yang Guang and Li Yuan. In the first year of Yining, he surrendered to Li Yuan, Duke of Tang Dynasty. He paid homage to the general manager of the Shangcheng School and was awarded the title of Shang Yi Tong Sansi. Although he was treated coldly by Li Shimin because of his irreconcilable relationship with Li Yuan, he was also a member of the Wei family. Golden sign.

In a wealthy family like Webster's, the authority of the head of the family is unshakable and deeply rooted in the bones.

Wei Hongying did not dare to protest after being beaten. He just knelt down obediently and said: "Master, please don't get angry and don't hurt your body."

Even though he felt a thousand dissatisfaction in his heart and his face and chest were burning with pain, he still acted very filial.

"With you beast here, I won't make you angry to death. I have been blessed by Sanqing Tianzun."

Wei Hongbiao was so angry that he cursed loudly.

Wei Hongying still didn't know why, so he kowtowed and asked, "Master, please clarify..."

Wei Hongbiao saw that this junior didn't even know where he was wrong. He was so angry that he almost started to waver. He pointed at Wei Hongying and said, "Who gave you the courage to slander important officials in the temple?"

Wei Hongying's expression changed drastically, he opened his mouth, and finally realized that he seemed to be thinking too much...

Wei Hongbiao was very old, and he was just hanging around in the temple, not for the little salary, but to have such a person in his seat.

Today Li Zhi urgently summoned him to see him, but Wei Hongbiao thought there was something good going on.

As a result, Li Zhi scolded him and asked him to take Wei Hongying back.

Wei Hongying's status was so low that Li Zhi didn't even have the urge to scold him.

After Wei Hongbiao learned everything, he had the intention to kill.

"Stop embarrassing yourself here! Go back with me..."

The Prince's Mansion in the East Palace.

Guo Yu is giving a lecture in the classroom.

Chen Qingsi listened carefully as always. Today he was well prepared. He even prepared pen and paper to write down the annotations of the classic content in "The Justice of the Five Classics" taught by Guo Yu so that he could go back and reread it.

This made Guo Yu, who was already timid, feel his hands and feet feel cold, and couldn't help but think to himself: What is he planning? Count your faults?

I've always been careful and I didn't make any mistakes.

"Your Majesty is here!" At this moment, there was a shout from outside.

Guo Yu's face turned pale with fright, and the ruler in his hand fell to the ground. His mind was filled with "It's over, it's over, it's over."

Li Zhi put his hands on his back and entered.

Chen Qingsi, Li Hong, Helan Minzhi, Li Shangqiu and others stood up to greet them.

"My son has met my father!"

"I have met His Majesty!"

Li Zhi stretched out his hand to express his displeasure.

When Chen Qingsi stood up, she noticed that he seemed to be holding a memorial in his hand.

Li Zhi touched Li Hong's head and then touched Li Shangqiu's head to show his closeness.

Li Hong is his son, and Li Shangqiu is Li Xiaogong's eldest grandson.

After being the highest meritorious member of the Tang Dynasty clan, Li Shangqiu's status was obviously different.

Li Zhi nodded to Guo Yu and said, "Doctor, continue the lecture. Chen Aiqing, let's go out and talk."

Chen Qingsi followed Li Zhi out of the school and headed west.

Li Zhi is still very familiar with the East Palace.

The monarch and his ministers arrived at a pavilion in the Prince's Mansion.

"Just take a look!"

Chen Qingsi looked at the memorial handed over by Li Zhi, opened it and took a closer look. It was Wei Hongying's memorial to impeach him. In a thousand words, he accused himself of transgressing.

Chen Qingsi smiled secretly in his heart. Indeed, he also felt this situation.

Many people regard their rise and fall as being neglected, but they don't know that this is only one of the possibilities. There is another possibility, that Li Zhi pays too much attention to it and treats it with caution.

If it's the latter, wouldn't that hit the muzzle of a gun?

However, when Li Zhi gave this memorial to himself, he probably meant it as a warning.

When I act in the north, I am indeed stepping on a red line...

"I know the crime!"

Chen Qingsi made no excuses and accepted the crime honestly.

Li Zhi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Actually, I have collected a lot of similar memorials, all of which were to impeach Aiqing... saying that Aiqing acted in a way that was suspected of overstepping the bounds. But I feel that Aiqing fought back enemies for the country. , weeded out traitors for the country, and the things he did were beneficial to the country and the people..."

His voice suddenly rose and he said, "What's wrong?"

"It's just..." He changed his voice and said: "After all, people's words are to be feared. From now on, please be more careful when doing things that love you."

Chen Qingsi was moved and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration."

Li Zhi also wanted to make use of the topic, but suddenly a Qianniu guard hurriedly ran over. He was blocked by Qianqi and shouted: "Your Majesty, there is an urgent military situation. All the ministers in the council hall met and the Tubo army sent troops to Qinghai Lake. "

Li Zhi's expression suddenly changed.

Since Chen Qingsi put forward the theory of Tubo threat, he began to deploy Longyou to strengthen Longyou's military response capabilities.

While this was still going on, Tubo invaded Qinghai Lake first...

Li Zhi immediately said: "Go back to the palace!"

He walked quickly for three steps, turned back to look at Chen Qingsi who was showing off respectfully, and looked at him deeply. Everything was as he expected.

It was definitely not accidental that Tubo mobilized troops at this time. It should have been aware of its deployment and deployment and acted first.

The five surnames of Tiele rebelled like this, and so did Tubo.

"Ai Qing, please come too!"
