Chapter 511: The Imperial Capital Storm Sixty-Three


Chapter 511 Li Jiujiang and Li Shangshu are simply a mystery.

In terms of seniority and merit, this great man was a high-ranking official in the dynasty.

Only Liu Fufeng, the Minister of War, and Duke Liu Guogong could be compared with him.

Even the chief minister of the dynasty, Wei Xiang, was probably a little inferior to Li Jiujiang.

This gentleman has high merit, high position, and weight.

This is an interpretation from a political perspective.

Li Jiujiang's journey was completely a normal path to becoming a powerful and capable minister.

But unlike ordinary powerful officials, Li Jiujiang never married or had any children throughout his life, and his attitude toward his family, the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, was neither far nor close, neither cold nor hot.

Especially with his biological father, Lao Yong'an Hou, it was really not a rumored discord, but a real discord.

When Li Jiujiang was promoted to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, due to the rule that father and son could not serve as ministers of the six departments at the same time, Marquis Lao Yongan resigned from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

After that, Marquis Lao Yongan gave up his title to his legitimate son Li Xuan, who is the current imperial guard.

General Li, General, since then, Lao Yonganhou has officially withdrawn from the stage of history.

However, you must know that situations like the Li family's father and son are not uncommon.

For example, Su Buyu, including Su Buyu's two elder brothers, all had good official positions at a relatively young age.

Duke Wen Zhong was the first assistant, and Su Buyu's two elder brothers had been serving as governors of the feudal frontiers, but they had not been able to become officials in the central government.

As for Su Buyu, his road to officialdom was even more tortuous.

First, he avoided suspicion.

When his father was the chief assistant, he had been the minister of the Ministry of Justice and could not go any further.

Later, after his father passed away, Su Buyu resigned to observe filial piety and resumed his duties when he was full.

If there had been a suitable position in the court at that time, Su Buyu would have been promoted to a minister earlier.

But in fact, Su Buyu sought to pursue a career after observing filial piety.

When sending an envoy, it is directly due to the lack of planning, because there is no vacancy in the court.

After that, Su Buyu served abroad for six years, and Fang Zhong was appointed Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, and was later promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Justice, in the central position.

Therefore, among the three brothers of the Su family, in order to avoid their father's suspicion, only the youngest Su Buyu was able to enter the cabinet after his father passed away.

If Li Jiujiang had been willing to avoid his father's suspicion, the old Marquis Yong'an would not have resigned so early to take care of his old age.

However, Li Jiujiang did not give in.

He was directly promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, expelling his father from the position of Minister of the Ministry of War.

Li Jiujiang was only close to Li Xuan, the Marquis of Yong'an and the General of the Imperial Guard, among his three brothers in the family.

The other two brothers were very ordinary.

Of course, this may also be related to the fact that Li Jiujiang was a commoner.

In fact, Li Jiujiang had a reputation for being unfilial when he was young.

Although it is from the old emperor's history, it is also true.

It can also be inferred from this that at least Li Jiujiang was not happy at home when he was young, which is true.

Not to mention that after Li Jiujiang became a high-ranking official, he always lived alone in a house instead of his own Yong'an Marquis Mansion.

Hearing that Emperor Renzong personally acted as a matchmaker, Li Jiujiang declined.

He still has no wife, no children, and is alone.

Such a person seems to be implying that his unique temperament cannot be guessed by common sense.

Just like Mr.

Xiao Tang, this is Li Jiujiang's only beloved disciple.

Mr.

Xiao Tang cut off his sleeves and broke up his friendship, and Li Jiujiang ignored him.

To say that Mr.

Xiao Tang is just a teacher and student, it is said that General Li Xuan, the only brother of the family with whom Li Jiujiang is still close, cannot understand what his brother has done.

To put it bluntly, Li Jiujiang still insisted on going his own way.

Then, Li Jiujiang did something that shocked the entire imperial capital.

He asked the clan leader, his father Yongan Marquis, for instructions on establishing a new family tree.

The entire imperial capital officialdom couldn't help but be in an uproar.

These days, not to mention the establishment of another clan, even if the parents are still alive, they cannot allow the separation of the family.

Separating the family is extremely unfilial and illegal.

Not to mention, if your parents are still alive, you can establish a new clan.

The Yushitai exploded first, and Zhong Yushi, the censor of Zuodu, took the Yushitai to large and small censorships and flooded the official department with Tumo Xingzi.

It is reported that there were as many as half a house playing Li Shangshu's memorials. , even the cabinet can’t see it.

The Ministry of Rites also said that this matter was inappropriate.

Unexpectedly, the old Yong'an Marquis who could give birth to Li Jiujiang was not an ordinary person.

The eldest princess's consort and the old Marquis who had withdrawn from the stage of history directly approved Li Jiujiang's establishment of a new clan. .

It's useless for anyone to try to persuade you.

After the Li family found some time, Li Jiujiang moved away from the clan.

Now, Li Shangshu is his own clan.

Although so many people participated in Li Jiujiang's performance, His Majesty said that "this is a family matter of the Yong'an Marquis Mansion" and let others say what they said.

On the other hand, Li Jiujiang, if Yushitai dared to take part in him, he would be doomed.

It can be imagined that the evaluation of officials below the third rank of Yushitai this year will be done.

Zhong Yushi of Zuodu was furious about this, and he started a fight with Li Jiujiang.

The two old men in their sixties were beaten so hard that the young man couldn't keep him apart.

Zhong Yushi was furious and pointed at Li Jiujiang and cursed, "Shameless, especially shameless to be in the company of you."

Li Jiujiang said lightly, "I will only obey you if you have the ability to resign."

Zhong Yushi was so excited that he almost resigned.

However, Zhong Yushi was also an old man for many years.

He said, "Even if I resign, I will never make it easier for you and other villains."

Even if I don't resign, I will be angry to death.

Li Jiujiang looked back with disdain and straightened his clothes.

Although his hair was a little messy, he still looked elegant.

You know, Li Jiujiang's two disciples, one is the civilian official Mr.

Xiao Tang, and the other is the military attache Zhongyong Bo.

Therefore, Mr.

Li is actually a master of both civil and martial arts.

If Zhong Yushi had not become friends with Du Siqing, the minister of the great temple, and learned the self-defense skills of both hands, he would have suffered a loss in the fight.

Prime Minister Wei came out and fined both Li Jiujiang and Zhong Yushi half a year's salary for their misconduct in front of the imperial court.

Zhong Yushi was so angry that he didn't say anything.

Li Jiujiang said, "It was Zhong Yushi who took action in this matter first, and I only defended myself.

Therefore, the judgment of the First Assistant is biased and I refuse to accept it."

Wei Xiang choked and almost rolled his eyes. .

Finally, His Majesty intervened and fined Li Jiujiang three months' salary and Zhong Yushi half a year.

This kind of decision really made Zhong Yushi vomit blood.

If a colleague hadn't dragged Zhong Yushi away, Zhong Yushi might have resigned in anger.

Just like that, Li Jiujiang also said, "Your Majesty favors my mentor, so I will give this face to Prime Minister Wei."

Wei Xiang, "Then I would like to thank Li Shangshu for giving me this face."

Li Jiujiang said, "There is no need to thank my subordinates.

I just need to thank His Majesty the Chief Assistant."

In short, Li Shangshu has simply become a public enemy of the imperial court.

Compared with him, the Cao family looks cute.

Unexpectedly, His Majesty now regards Li Jiujiang as his confidant.

No matter who plays Li Jiujiang, His Majesty is very protective of him.

For a while, no one can do anything to Li Jiujiang.

Troubled times.

He Lao Niang went to the outskirts specially and said to her girl, "Our family's luck is not good this year.

I made an appointment with your grandmother, aunt, your mother, A Xing, A Yuan, and others.

Let's go to Xishan Temple to burn Qingyun Incense." .

"Bless the men in the family to prosper.

As a result, before the incense was burned, Aunt Feng and her family came to the imperial capital to report on their duties.

Uncle Feng is now a member of the third rank and is participating in politics.

After his term of office expires, he will come to the imperial capital to meet with His Majesty according to the rules, and he also has to find a new position.

I have to say that Uncle Feng came at the wrong time.

However, this cannot stop the joy of family reunion.

Aunt Feng prepared two cars as a gift.

How could she not be happy to see her brother's family prospering like this?

The He family's banquet was held for two days, and He Zijin and Anian, who lived in the suburbs, also returned to the city to stay for a few days.

The women were just talking about trivial things over the years.

Aunt Feng was particularly happy when she saw A Xi’s twins.

She also said, “It was because we were too far away at the beginning and the news was inconvenient.

Otherwise, where would A Nian’s turn be?

I was originally I want Zijin to come to my house as my wife.”

Shen said with a smile, "Don't tell me, A-yi and Zijin didn't really get along when they were young.

A-yi would buy delicious food for Zijin every time he went there, as well as a small wooden horse for Zijin.

Zijin had saved it for many years. " He Zijin smiled and said, "I still have them now.

When Aye and Axi were young, I played with them.

When they got older and stopped playing, I put them away again."

Everyone was very happy to talk about old things.

The main thing is that life in Aunt Feng's family has always been good.

Uncle Feng's career as an official has gone smoothly over the years.

However, it is not the best time to come to the imperial capital at this time.

He Gong Anian first told Uncle Feng about the current situation in the imperial capital.

Anian said, "Fortunately, my uncle is now in the third rank.

The matter of recruiting vacancies does not go through the staff, but mainly depends on the wishes of the cabinet.

Otherwise, now I come to the imperial capital to seek advice."

For those who are lacking, as long as they go through the Cao family, the officials will make good arrangements.

Uncle Feng was a little puzzled and said, "Li Shangshu is always fair when he comes to the imperial capital."

He Gong said, "Today's Li Shangshu is no longer the Li Shangshu of the past.

Now I'm afraid that even if I go to the Cao family to give gifts, I won't be short of much.

I heard that a few days ago, a group of people with the surname Cao were arranged, or they may be related to the Cao family."

That’s why.

It’s so hateful that the Cao family’s cronies are being arranged in every army.”

Uncle Feng was originally thinking about taking a step forward.

After hearing what his brother-in-law said, Uncle Feng said, "Then I might as well give it a try first and see if I can be re-elected."

He sighed, "We foreign officials will not come to the imperial capital for a long time. , I didn’t know the situation in the imperial capital.”

"There are a lot of strange things going on nowadays, because the Cao family has become your majesty's maternal family.

Since your majesty took charge, the Cao family has not regained its title.

However, your majesty is close to the maternal family, and the Cao family has good relations with Li Shangshu.

Now many people They are all following the Cao family's path.

What's more, it's ridiculous.

The official from the land, also named Cao, immediately fawned over him.

Because he was so fawning, he became a family member of the Cao family in the imperial capital and became a family."

He Gong said, "People nowadays will do anything for Guan'er. , regardless of whether the ancestors want it or not.”

Uncle Feng was surprised and said, "Then why don't you just follow Li Shangshu's path?"

"Li Shangshu is a person who cannot be judged by ordinary people."

Anian said, "Someone gave Li Shangshu a gift, and Li Shangshu killed the person who gave the gift the next day.

Furthermore, Li Shangshu had a lot of grudges in the court, and now the censor Tai and the officials are mortal enemies, and Yushitai has been watching him for a long time. , there are people who want to give Li Shangshu money and then make a plan to get him out.

Li Shangshu has been the official minister for so many years, and he will never be able to leave such a clue to others."

Li Shangshu is easy to deal with, and Yushi Zhong Yushi can eat him alive.

A Nian gave Uncle Feng an idea and said, "The cabinet is now at odds with the officials, and Li Shangshu is trying to suppress the cabinet.

If uncle goes to the cabinet and meets Prime Minister Wei, just scold the officials and Cao Cao."

That's right.

If you meet Prime Minister Su, don't scold the officials, only scold the Cao family."

Uncle Feng was very happy when he heard this and said, "Didn't you say that the officials and the Cao family are colluding with each other?

How could Su Xiang be associated with them if he comes from a famous family?"

"Prime Minister Su is not on good terms with the Cao family.

However, Prime Minister Su has been friends with Li Shangshu for many years.

Even though Li Shangshu is helping Zhou to do evil, Prime Minister Su still doesn't want to hear people say something wrong with Li Shangshu."

He Gong explained.

There is a brother-in-law who is an official in the imperial capital, and uncle Feng is here.

Although the situation in the imperial capital is not good, he is really confident about seeking re-election, which saves him a lot of inquiries.

Especially the damaging move given by Anian, Uncle Feng had the honor to meet Prime Minister Wei, and expressed his satisfaction with the officials and the Cao family.

Prime Minister Wei really liked him, and Uncle Feng's re-election documents were quickly issued.

Uncle Feng's place is going well, and the whole family is happy for Uncle Feng.

Uncle Feng just couldn't trust his brother-in-law's family.

He thought that A Nian and the Cao family had completely fallen out.

He was afraid that his brother-in-law's family would have to suffer for a few years.

Uncle Feng said, "I'm afraid there's no shortage of things to do outside now.

I'll tell you, wait for the situation."

It’s better than seeking an official position abroad.”

He Gong said, "Yes, although the imperial capital is good, there are many things to do, but it is not as quiet as when I was outside, and I could concentrate on doing things.

Even if the place is colder and more miserable, I won't be afraid."

Since Uncle Feng came to the imperial capital, he had to take care of all aspects of the relationship.

Before he took office, he saw with his own eyes the harsh power struggle in the imperial capital today.

A direct branch of the Cao family, it is said that Cao Ting, a descendant of the Cao family who had just assumed the post of deputy general of the Imperial Guard, was found dead on the bed in the brothel immediately.

There was no one in the Yushitai who did not speak out about such a scandal.

Before the matter could be found out, the daughter of the Cao family in the palace gave birth to the emperor's eldest son.

Then, the granddaughter of the eldest princess Yongfu married the nephew of Queen Mother Cao, and the two families got married.

Uncle Feng completed the re-election procedures and was about to take office for a second term when another shocking case broke out in the Cao family.

It turned out that the married couple, Cao Ting, the nephew of Queen Mother Cao, accidentally killed his newlywed wife Wu.

The eldest princess Yongfu complained to His Majesty in anger, and His Majesty ordered the Third Division to investigate the case strictly.

Uncle Feng had also been an official for many years, but he was so frightened by the violent storms in the Imperial City that he became a little out of control.

Uncle Feng was thinking about whether he should take his wife to take office immediately, but he also thought that after not seeing the Yue family for these years, Uncle Feng still wanted to stay in the imperial capital for a few more days.

However, both Anian and He Gong advised Uncle Feng to take office immediately.

He Gong said, "Brother-in-law, hurry up and take your sister there.

The imperial capital city is really in chaos now.

There are plenty of opportunities for us to meet again.

We are in the imperial capital, and now we have to go and stay."

It’s a dilemma, sister and brother-in-law, please don’t stay for a long time.”

"That's right.

When my uncle goes away, he must not get too close to Cao officials.

Princess Yongfu is the eldest daughter of Emperor Taizong and the eldest sister of Emperor Renzong.

She must not give up.

The Cao family has the eldest son of the emperor at this time.

At hand, it's your majesty's maternal family again.

The person who is in trouble is the eldest grandson of the Cao family.

His family must protect the eldest grandson.

This matter is afraid that it will lead to conflicts between the clan and the family.

In major cases between relatives, the Cao family has always been unpopular because of its shallow foundation.

Although Li Shangshu, the official minister, came to help, Li Shangshu's aunt, the eldest princess Wenkang, was the aunt of the eldest princess Yongfu.

This time, the Cao family was bound to be in trouble.

"Uncle Feng has been away from the imperial capital for a long time, and he is not very clear about the affairs of the imperial capital.

A Nian and his son-in-law, therefore, A Nian Duo explained.

Uncle Feng was very pleased, patted A-Nian on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, uncle will remember your words.

Although we want to be officials and want to move up, we can't be villains."

After all his life, Uncle Feng was planning for the future of his children and grandchildren, and he also paid great attention to his personal reputation.

A Nian smiled, "Of course I know what I'm talking about.

I'm just nagging a few words in vain."

For example, Master Wu's Yue family and the Cao family are really unstoppable, and they are connected with the Cao family in the imperial capital.

The Cao family is just an outsider, but Uncle Feng is a real relative.

A Nian is inevitably a little worried.

Not long after Uncle Feng's family left, Count Jiang Xingyun and her husband, General Feng Feiyu, commander of the Jiangnan Navy, came to the imperial capital on His Majesty's orders to attend the wedding of his eldest son Feng Lie and Princess Jiachun, a pair of powerful men from the Eastern Mu Dynasty.

Husband and wife, at the same time brought back to the imperial capital were three thousand naval soldiers who were invited to be inspected by Your Majesty.
