Chapter 632 The heart of playing politics is dirty

In Qinzheng Hall, the eldest grandson Wugou handed the child in his arms to the maid, and asked softly, "Cuilan, what's the matter? Why are you so angry?"

Yue Shan told the ins and outs of the matter.

Hearing this, Changsun Wugou was surprised and said: "You impeached Wang Zhen and Chi Dengsong just to seek justice for the people who died in vain?"

Yue Shan shook his head and said, "It's not all. Rao Gaosu and others will definitely suffer retaliation for impeaching Wang Zhen. Part of what I did was to protect them."

Changsun Wugou showed a dumbfounding expression, and after a while he said, "Do you know how other people think about this matter?"

"What do you mean?" Yue Shan was puzzled.

"No one believes that you will offend Wang Zhen and Chi Dengsong for an ordinary person." Changsun Wugou explained:

"They will only think that you are unwilling to be lonely and want to come to the stage from behind the scenes. You want to drive Wang Zhen away and become the minister of Dali Temple, and Chi Dengsong is just a fish in the pond who got hurt."

Yue Shan's complexion changed, and he said angrily, "How is it possible? I can't finish the work of the six gates. I don't have the time to take care of Dali Temple. Besides, if I want to go on stage, I will tell the saint directly and aboveboard. I won't use this method." A shady method."

The eldest grandson Wugou comforted: "Don't worry, I believe you have no selfishness, but others will not believe it. You once said that those who play politics have a dirty heart, and they are best at viewing everyone and everything with malicious eyes."

Yue Shan also calmed down, and said, "The sage also thinks so?"

Changsun Wugou sighed inwardly, how would she answer this question?He could only answer the question: "Chi Dengsong belongs to Xu Guogong, Xu Guogong misunderstood you, so Zhou Chi stood up and saved him."

"The sage doesn't want to see you and Xu Guogong have conflicts, so he pushes the boat along the way... You have been wronged, and I will match you on behalf of the sage."

Yue Shan stepped aside quickly, and said, "Ma'am, what are you doing... I won't dare to come here after you do this."

The eldest grandson Wugou smiled and said: "Okay, it scares you, you are not as courageous as you were when you were young."

Yue Shan smiled wryly, "I was not sensible when I was young."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "You are right in this matter, but I still have to criticize you for a few rounds, and you need to think more about everything. If you really can't figure it out, you can tell me in advance or a saint, we can say anything in private. You see It's a mess now, isn't it?"

"Hey." Yue Shan sighed, and said, "I'm really naive. But even if it happens again, I will still do it."

"Why?" Changsun Wugou asked in bewilderment.

"Just because no one in the civil and military courts believed that I would stand up for a poor people. I want to tell them that people's lives matter. There are people in this world who are willing to fight for the right of the poor to survive. Only in this way will they not dare to recklessly disregard people's lives." " Yue Shan said seriously.

"You..." Changsun Wugou was both helpless and relieved, she also knew that Yue Shan was determined to solve the case, and she might not be able to dissuade her, so she could only say:
"Don't worry about this matter, can you make a decision after I communicate with the sage Xu Guogong and the others?"

"Okay, I'll listen to your mother." Yue Shan nodded.

He is not an iron man, knowing that everyone has misunderstood, he still has to bite the bullet and hit the south wall. He has no enmity with Gao Shilian.

To be honest, he also regretted that he was too reckless, did not investigate the matter clearly in advance, and thought the matter too simply.

If he knew that Gao Shilian was behind Chi Dengsong, he would never be so reckless.At least he would communicate with Li Shimin's eldest grandson Wugou first, and even go directly to Gao Shilian to express his attitude.

At that time, even if Gao Shilian is unwilling to give up Chi Dengsong, he will give him an explanation, at least he won't make things so rigid.

Politics really requires talent, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

After traveling through so many years, he is not much better than Xiaobai politically, that is, the elder grandson Wugou and Li Shimin have loved him so much that he can get to where he is today, otherwise he would have been eaten to the bone.

But no matter how he got to today, he will not give up some insistences, and some principles must be adhered to.

He must find out about this matter.

After talking with his grandson Wugou for a while in Qinzheng Hall, Yue Shan bid farewell and left.Instead of going home directly, he went to Six Doors to inspect the construction work of the branch.

The results are naturally quite gratifying. Branches in all states in the Central Plains have been established and are spreading to remote states and counties. It will take less than a month to cover the whole country.

And just as he was inspecting the work of the six doors, the China-North Korea meeting also ended in a strange atmosphere.Wang Zhen left in a hurry, and Chi Dengsong, who was ashen-faced, rushed to Gao Shilian for protection.

Gao Shilian's complexion was also very bad, he didn't expect Yue Shan to say in public the words that he would never die with Chi Dengsong.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the fact that Yue Shan used his subordinates for surgery, he was absolutely unwilling to form a deadly feud with him.If he knew that Yue Shan's determination was so firm, he wouldn't let Zhou Chi stand up to protect Chi Dengsong.

Every time he thought of what Yue Shan said in the hall before leaving, he would get so angry that his liver hurts.On the one hand, Qi Yueshan is merciless, and more importantly, Qi Chi Dengsong is causing trouble for himself.

So seeing Chi Dengsong coming to seek protection at this time, naturally he didn't have a good face, and said angrily: "Go back and wipe your butt clean before talking."

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and walked out of the hall.

Zhou Chi glanced at Chi Dengsong resentfully, and followed him out.

He felt that he was the most innocent person. This matter had nothing to do with him. After hearing Gao Shilian's words, he stood up to protect Chi Dengsong, but Yue Shan hated him.

He didn't dare to blame Gao Shilian, and he didn't dare to blame Yue Shan, he could only blame Chi Dengsong for causing trouble and making others catch him.

As for Chi Dengsong, he was even more afraid.

He was also very angry in his heart, didn't he just kill a poor ghost, what about your dignified founding of the country?The matter of civil and military criminals in the Manchu Dynasty is much older than me, why are you staring at me?
You want Dali Temple, you want to move Wang Zhen, so don't attack me.

As soon as Gao Shilian came out of the Xuanzheng Hall, he was blocked by Ren Feng: "Mr. Xu, my lady has an invitation."

At this time, Li Shimin also came to the Hall of Qinzheng angrily, and said to his eldest grandson Wugou: "Quietly, your good son-in-law is really mad at me. What does he think of the court? Does he still see me as a saint? He regards Dali Temple as his own home."

The eldest grandson Wugou poured him a cup of tea unhurriedly, and said after he finished venting his anger, "I'm afraid the sage has misunderstood Cuilan."

"What's the misunderstanding, isn't he doing this for Dali Temple?" Li Shimin said angrily.

"I asked Cuilan just now, and he said that he only wanted justice for the victims, and he had no selfish motives."

"Do you believe this?"

"Yes, I don't believe what other people say, but he says I believe it. Saint, think about Cuilan's behavior over the years. Is he the kind of person with a deep scheming heart?"

Li Shimin was silent.

"Cuilan has always said whatever she has, and she will ask you directly for whatever she wants, and never beat around the bush. Why is she suddenly so abnormal this time?"

"Your trust and love for him are well known throughout the country, and he knows it in his own heart. If he wants Dali Temple, you will not deny it. If so, why do you want to go far away? It will only make you unhappy, and you will offend Xu Guogong. "

"Besides, Cuilan is also a literary master who founded a school, and her understanding of the principles of the law has reached the point where she can see her heart clearly, and she reflects her heart in every word and deed."

"So I think his words are credible. He really didn't think too much about it. He just didn't want to resent the Chi family's neglect of human life, and wanted to seek justice for the people."

Li Shimin couldn't help but nodded, but immediately realized that he was still angry, and quickly lowered his face and said, "Then he should have told me in advance that everyone can't get out of the trouble now, is it okay? I'll see how he ends up."

The eldest grandson Wugou said with a smile: "It depends on what you want, sage, Chi Dengsong and Wang really stay or go."

Li Shimin sighed: "The matter is not so easy to solve. Wang Zhen is not worth mentioning. The key is Chi Dengsong. If he is taken down, I am afraid Xu Guogong will not be able to hold his face."

The eldest grandson Wugou said: "The sage doesn't need to worry about this matter. As long as you make up your mind, I will go and explain to my uncle in person. Uncle is a sensible person and will make the right choice."

"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, anyway, one is your uncle and the other is your good son-in-law, you can worry about it yourself, I don't bother to care about it." Li Shimin waved his hands pretending to be impatient, then got up and went out:

"I'll go to Zichen Palace to correct the memorial, so don't wait for me for lunch."

"Congratulations to the saint."

As soon as Li Shimin left on the front foot, Ren Feng walked in with Gao Shilian on the back foot.

"Greetings, ma'am." Gao Shilian saluted.

Although they are blood relatives, the way of monarch and ministers must be kept, and Gao Shilian must take the initiative to salute.

But the eldest grandson Wugou, who is a junior, has many ways to deal with it. She can sit firmly in her seat to accept this gift, or she can accept half of the ceremony sideways. Anyway, as long as she does not salute Gao Shilian in the opposite direction, it will be fine.

The etiquette in the Tang Dynasty was quite humane in many cases, unlike in the later dynasties, even the parents had to kneel down to pay homage when they saw their daughters who entered the palace as concubines.

Parents kneel down and worship their children, that is the real treason.

The eldest grandson Wugou accepted the ceremony sideways, and said enthusiastically, "Please sit down, uncle."

Hearing the word uncle, Gao Shilian sighed in his heart, he had already guessed what the eldest grandson Wugou meant, and knew what he should do.

Sure enough, Changsun Wugou then brought the topic to Yue Shan.

"...Cui Lan really didn't intend to target Uncle, but just wanted to punish Chi Dengsong and Wang Zhen, and I hope Uncle won't take it personally."

The queen personally made an apology on her behalf, Gao Shilian had nothing else to say, he could only say: "What did you say, according to my seniority, he still calls me uncle, how can I have the same knowledge as him."

"Cuilan also sees outsiders. When encountering this kind of thing, tell me in private, can I still help outsiders? Now that this is happening, it's just a joke."

"Uncle is right. I criticized him just now. He also realized his mistake and said he would come to your door to apologize to you in person." Changsun Wugou said with a smile.

"He really should come to my house to make amends, but it's not because of this matter, but because he married my granddaughter and didn't come to see my uncle. He doesn't respect the elders at all. I really don't know where his books have gone ” Gao Shilian said.

"What my uncle said is that I will criticize him well later and let him come to the door with beauty."

……

After sending Gao Shilian out, Sun Wugou heaved a sigh of relief, the matter was finally settled, and he only hoped that his uncle would really not take it to heart as he said.

The news of Yue Shan's impeachment of Wang Zhen and Chi Dengsong quickly spread throughout Chang'an City, and there was a lot of discussion about it.

But most people are holding the attitude of watching a joke. It's too much fun for two relatives to fight each other.Just don't know who will win.

But at the moment, Gao Shilian should have the upper hand. After all, the emperor asked Yue Shan to go home for vacation. What does this mean?It's just to let you think about it behind closed doors and don't come out and jump around.

Many people felt that Gao Shilian was old and strong, even though Yue Shan had made so many contributions, he was still inferior to him in the emperor's heart.

Just when everyone thought that Gao Shilian won the collision and Yueshan was defeated, a piece of news came out.

Chi Dengsong's son bought people privately and neglected human life. He was sentenced to exile for three thousand miles without pardon.

As for Wang Zhen, he was only fined for three months.

In the eyes of outsiders, this punishment is [-] boards each.

Chi Dengsong was punished for his crime, but Gao Shilian did not take advantage of it.Although Yue Shan succeeded in overthrowing Chi Dengsong, Wang Zhen was still the Minister of Dali Temple, and his plan to plan Dali Temple fell through.

Well, in everyone's eyes, the purpose of Yue Shan's impeachment of Wang Zhen and Chi Dengsong is to plan Dali Temple.

And Yue Shan's plan to kill chickens and monkeys also failed.

Because in everyone's opinion, he impeached Chi Dengsong just to attack Wang Zhen, and no one believed that he was seeking justice for the poor.

Although Yue Shan was not very satisfied with this result, he could barely accept it. After all, he successfully sought justice for the common people who died in vain.

As for killing chickens and monkeys... There will be opportunities in the future.And with the lesson learned this time, next time he will not make the same mistake as today.

But he didn't gain nothing at all, at least this wave of his favorability with the Fa family was almost full.

Rao Gaosu and others visited him personally to thank him for upholding justice.The students of the law school all regard him as a role model, and the judges of the Dali Temple and the Judiciary have fully recognized his existence.

In the future, as long as their own fundamental interests are not involved, these Legalists will favor him.

His influence in Dali Temple and the Tixing Division surpassed all Zaifu.

After this matter was resolved, Yue Shan continued to take vacations, and occasionally went to the Six Gates to supervise the construction work of the Six Gates, or went to the academy to teach the students a few lessons, so don't live too much.

When teaching students, many students raised a question: what is Chinese civilization.

This concept was brought up by Li Shimin when he buried Princess Yicheng last year, which aroused a lot of attention, but the court has not given an explanation.

Later, because of the Chinese New Year and other reasons, this topic gradually passed away. I didn't expect someone to bring it up after so long.

So Yue Shan got another job, writing a book introducing Chinese civilization.

This book cannot be written casually, it must be well-founded and can withstand scrutiny, and it must be convincing to everyone.Otherwise, it will only cause greater divisions in the literary world, and even affect the country's next plan.

In this regard, the knowledge learned in the previous life can not provide him with much help, and he must find the information he wants in the book.

So write very slowly.

Before I knew it, it was April, and Li Tai officially married Yue Shui'er.The wedding of the two is naturally not as luxurious as Yue Shan and Li Lizhi, but it is far more than most people.

Li Shimin and his eldest grandson Wugou would not treat their legitimate son badly, and Yue Shan would not be stingy with his only younger sister. The total value of all kinds of dowry exceeds one hundred thousand guan.

After the wedding, Yue Shan once again settled down to write a book.

Although Li Shimin wanted to take him back to work, he also knew that writing a book was more important, so he granted him another period of vacation.

Just when he was obsessed with books, a major event happened that could shake Guoben. He had to put down the half-written book and end his vacation early.

Li Chengqian was injured.
