Chapter 252 White Lotus’s “Coverage by Inaction”

[When Li Zhi, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, came to power, he fully deserved the word "diligence". 】

[But he was full of passion and was immediately hit by the reality. 】

[In 650 AD, Li Shiji, the former chief official of the East Palace and now the auxiliary minister, Zuopushe, repeatedly resigned. 】

[On the third day of October, Li Zhi reluctantly agreed to resign, allowing him to continue to participate in government affairs as the third division of Kaifu Yitong and the third rank of Tongzhongshu. 】

……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
vigilance!

Liu Bing could smell a familiar scent.

That is the breath of the struggle between powerful ministers!
I was so mesmerized by Li Shimin that I almost forgot about my relatives!

Sure enough, even the emperor who ascended the throne could not escape the matter of his relatives.

……

Datang.

Li Shimin frowned, feeling confused.

Kaifuyi Tongsansi, Tongzhongshu Menxia3pin?

This official position is still prime minister in name, but in fact it does nothing.

Can participate in the prime minister's meeting and the imperial meeting, but does not have any specific power.

Li Shiji's withdrawal was tantamount to allowing the other two to take full control of the government.

At the same time, Li Shiji's retirement also implies that even the emperor cannot protect him, so he must find a way on his own.

And who else could he avoid in the court at that time?
Li Shimin twirled his beard and looked deeply.

A word that was foreign to him came to mind.

Relatives...

Changsun Wuji.

No emperor wants his ministers to be dominant.

And Li Shiji's retirement just proves that Changsun Wuji's power is growing.

……

Tang Dynasty and Gaozong period
Li Zhi's face was calm, and he looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back.

uncle……

You underestimate the pheasant slave too much...

When the children grow up, they need to know how to let go of uncle...

……

On the canopy.

Li Zhi, wearing a nine-beam crown and a red-patterned round collar robe, sat on the throne with a sad look on his face.

"I am ashamed to hold the throne of the emperor, and I am ignorant of politics and religion."

"The earthquake in Jinzhou continues."

"This is all due to unfair rewards and punishments and improper governance."

"Your Majesty, please speak up about your gains and losses and correct your mistakes."

Your Highness, a minister wearing a purple robe holding a jade wat came out and cupped his hands:
"Your Majesty, heaven is yang. Earth is yin."

"Yang, the image of the king. Yin, the image of the minister."

"It is better for the king to move, and for the ministers to be quiet."

"The earthquake in Jinzhou will continue for ten days."

"Although the way of heaven is mysterious, there are unpredictable things."

"And the battle of personnel matters is clearly a warning."

"It's up to Your Majesty to fear that women will use your services and ministers to conspire. It's up to you to cultivate virtue and avoid disasters."

"Furthermore, Your Majesty was originally granted the title of Jin. Now there is an earthquake in Jinzhou. I have sent a response. Isn't it in vain?"

"Fu is willing to think deeply and far-sightedly, so as to prevent Wei Meng."

……

[In October 651 AD, the third earthquake occurred in Jinzhou, the fiefdom of Li Zhi when he was the king of Jin. 】

[He believed that his "political and religious ignorance" caused the earthquake, so he immediately ordered his ministers to actively write letters, hoping that everyone could speak freely about the "rights and wrongs of speech." 】

[Zhang Xingcheng, a former official of the East Palace and then a servant, said bluntly: Women visit for help, while ministers conspire. 】

[On November 24, Wei Siqian, the supervisory censor, submitted an impeachment order to Chu Suiliang, who ordered Chu Suiliang to "buy" and forcefully buy the house belonging to the translator Shi Hedan. 】

[Li Zhi ordered Dali Temple to hear the case. Zhang Shanshou, the prime minister of Dali Temple, decided the case and asked Chu Suiliang to pay a fine of twenty kilograms of copper. 】

[The young minister of Dali Temple, Zhang Ruici, said that the sentence was too harsh. According to the official market price, Chu Suiliang's purchase price was not cheap, so he should not be found guilty. 】

[Wei Siqian believed that Zhang Ruici, the young minister of Dali Temple, was partial and should be put to death as a warning to others. 】

[Because the so-called official market assessment is used by the imperial court to expropriate land, private transactions between courtiers cannot be based on the official market assessment. 】

[According to Tang law, Chu Suiliang, who used his power to obtain property, was sentenced to a minimum of three years in prison and a maximum of death. 】

[However, the outcome of the case was that the main criminal Chu Suiliang soon moved to a military powerhouse two hundred miles away and became the governor of Tongzhou. 】

[Zhang Ruici, an accomplice of partiality, was demoted to Xunzhou in Lingnan. 】

……

Big man.

Liu Bang, who was leaning on the soft couch, stroked his beard and touched Lu Pheasant beside him with his foot.

He raised his chin and said doubtfully:
"Then why does the old man talk about women?"

"I didn't hear that clearly."

Lu Pheasant glanced at him coldly and expressionlessly.

Liu Bang shook his head and clicked his tongue:
"Look at you, you're in a hurry."

"It's not that you are more knowledgeable than me. I want to ask you for advice."

Lu Pheasant patted the place where he kicked, then looked sideways at Liu Bang and said coldly:

"Zhi."

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
"Qi'er, what do you think?"

Liu Heng took the cup from Dou Yifang and took a sip.

Liu Qize said thoughtfully:

"The evidence in this case was overwhelming, but the outcome was so lenient."

"One of the three auxiliary ministers was forced out of the court."

"A person who committed a serious crime was treated so lightly." "I'm afraid the two auxiliary ministers have colluded together."

Liu Heng smoothed his sleeves and smoothed out the raised twine.

"Well, that is to say, you think it was Zhang Sun Wuji who protected him, right?"

Liu Qi lost his confidence for a moment, raised his spirits and asked cautiously:
"Is not it?"

Liu Heng folded his hands in his sleeves and sat upright.

Said softly:
"This person will definitely be reused."

After touching his head, Liu Qi slowly sat down.

Otherwise I don’t want to chat with you!
Can't you just say what you have to say?
Let people guess again!

Guess! Guess! Guess!
So annoying!
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
Rubbing his fingers, Liu Che immediately understood what this boy wanted to do.

The minister's conspiracy...

It's not so much Zhang Xingcheng who said this.

It would be better to say that this kid Li Zhi said these words through his mouth.

This person could be Zhang Xingcheng or Li Xingcheng.

It doesn't matter.

Li Zhi's selective listening is the best evidence.

When someone asks you for advice, they may just want to use other people's words to convince them of a reality that they are unwilling or unable to face.

Yes, he is his biological uncle after all.

Liu Che rubbed the wine stains off his fingers and looked at the sky.

You still have to think twice before taking action.

Although it is unnecessary, I understand.

……

[In the first month of AD 652, Chu Suiliang became the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, with the third rank of Tongzhongshu. 】

……

The period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty
Liu Qi looked at Liu Heng in surprise.

Are you sure? It's...impossible.

A chill ran through his body, and Liu Qi looked back at the sky.

Looking at the slightly delicate face in the sky, Liu Qi couldn't believe it.

How did he manage to stay out of the situation and still balance power!
and many more!

Liu Qi couldn't help but think deeply.

Does Li Zhi really not know why Li Shiji resigned?
Liu Heng glanced at Liu Qi, whose forehead was soaked with sweat.

"Study hard and learn what it means to go with the flow."

"What does it mean to be calm?"

"What's wrong with everyone."

"This Li Zhi has the essence of me."

……

Ming Dynasty Jiajing Period
Zhu Houcong sat on the chair, playing with the beads and looking at the sky with a sneer.

A minister who was demoted for bending the law to seek wealth not only resumed his position as prime minister upon his return to the court, but also took full control of the personnel power of the court.

Everyone thought that Changsun Wuji planned all this.

Yes, no.

Chu Suiliang was released in order to allow him to escape punishment and temporarily avoid the limelight.

On the surface, this seems to be a representative of Changsun Wuji's powerful crony.

But in the final analysis, the person who benefited most from Chu Suiliang's escape was the "cowardly and incompetent" Tang Gaozong.

Chu Sui's good life does not necessarily lead to division of Changsun Wuji.

But after Chu Suiliang died, Changsun Wuji really had no worries.

Moreover.

The old Taoist priest closed his eyes and rested his mind.

As early as when Chu Suiliang was demoted to Tongzhou, Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty named Liu Shi, the minister of Zhongshu, as the third rank of Tongzhongshu.

This person is the uncle of Queen Wang and a relative of the court.

Shangshu Province was handed over to Yu Zhining and Zhang Xingcheng.

The province under the command was handed over to Gao Jifu, both of whom were ministers of the Prince's Mansion.

Although Chu Suiliang was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and the third rank of Tongzhongshu, he still held the title of Prime Minister.

But compared with Zhongshu Ling, his status is not the same.

In just two years, one of the three auxiliary ministers resigned from the court, and the other's power and reputation were ruined.

Only one is left standing.

You could say he is the only one in the family.

But in the eyes of some people, he is alone.

"Li Zhi."

“Cure by doing nothing.”

……

 A large part of Li Zhi's reputation was implicated by Wu Zetian.

  This person is cruel and extremely evil.

  Strip away all subjective emotions, and you will find that everything this person wants to do can be accomplished.

  And in the process and results, he was completely untouched!
  Clean, extremely clean!
  It makes him look like Bai Biwuxia!
  Can get all the benefits and throw away all the blame.

  The impression given is that of ignorance, incompetence, and cowardice.

  This is the most terrifying old Yin ratio.

  Smiling at you, doing things for you, giving you benefits, and making you extremely beautiful.

  In the end, I will eat you up and wipe you clean, and others will say that you are greedy.

  …mad…

  I suddenly discovered that such scheming emperors all belong to the Huang family!
  The Tao Te Ching is indeed an imperial book. You are really not unjust in making this change.
