When Li Lu started a part-time detective in Banga City, Chang'an City, which was thousands of miles away, was treacherous, and there was an extremely depressing atmosphere in the sky above the huge Chang'an City.Although Xu Jingzong received strong support from Li Zhi and his family after the establishment and the change of the crown prince, and also became the confidant of the two sons, he offended the Guanlong aristocratic group and other courtiers headed by the eldest grandson Wuji, and later in order to eliminate these potential opponents who might hinder his future, he actively moved closer to Wu Xu and became the absolute confidant of the Empress Wu.Wu Xu was originally a very vindictive woman, and after she sat on the throne of the queen, she was determined to take revenge on those who opposed her becoming the queen and her son being the crown prince.She found Xu Jingzong and told him what she thought, because the two people had a common appeal, so they quickly reached an agreement, with the support of Wu Xu and the tacit approval of Li Zhi, Xu Jingzong sat in the position of the imperial doctor, and he began to frantically attack Chu Suiliang and Han Ai and other old ministers of the Guanlong Group to plot against him.In the matter of establishing the queen and changing the prince, the most fierce opposition was Chu Suiliang, so Li Zhi and his family took him first, and Li Zhi suddenly demoted Chu Suiliang to the governor of Guizhou without communicating with the eldest grandson and the old fox.Guizhou is the Guilin of later generations, and Lao Chu rushed from the center of power to Lingnan at once.Lingnan is a wild place, and generally only criminals come here, so let Chu Suiliang go to Guizhou to be an official, and Li Zhi's intention to rectify him is obvious.Han Ying wrote a letter to intercede for Chu Suiliang, hoping to let him go, but Li Zhi blatantly rejected it: "I also know the feelings of Suiliang."
However, he is perverse and prone to sin, so he is held accountable. ”Listen, Li Zhi's meaning is too obvious, Chu Suiliang doesn't take me as the emperor in his eyes, and Lao Tzu can't spare him.Seeing that the emperor did not listen to him, Han Ying took the initiative to ask for resignation and return to the village.Li Zhi is also not allowed, and the court is not opened by your family, so you can leave if you want, I want to keep you, and when the time is ripe, we will clean up together.After a period of time, Liu Xun's son wrote to avenge his father's grievances, Liu Xun was framed by Chu Suiliang and died, and now Chu Suiliang has been convicted, hoping that Li Zhi can rehabilitate him, and this matter has been strongly supported by Li Yifu.If Liu Xun's rehabilitation is successful, it is equivalent to adding another crime to his political opponents, isn't it good?
However, Le Yanwei's words in the matter made Li Yifu's wishful thinking fail: "The crime of Xue Xun today is that the first emperor should not be punished!"
”If Liu Xun is rehabilitated, it will not be good for the reputation of his father Li Er.Hearing that it was not good for his father, Li Zhi had no choice but to shelve the matter.Not long after, Wu Xu instructed Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu to denounce Han Ying, Zhongshu Ling Laiji, and Guizhou Governor Chu Suiliang for plotting against each other, on the grounds that the three of them believed that Guizhou was a place to be used, and prepared to be handled by Han Ying and Laiji, and Chu Suiliang was a foreign aid and rebelled.When Li Zhi heard the news, he immediately dealt with it: degraded Han Ying as the history of the Zhenzhou Thorn, degraded Laiji as the history of the Taizhou Thorn, and was not allowed to enter the court for life, and Chu Suiliang was demoted to the history of the Aizhou Thorn.Where is Aizhou?
Aizhou was in the area of Thanh Hoa, Vietnam, in later generations, so that it was even farther away from Chang'an, and it was relegated to that poor place, even if you wanted to embezzle, there was not much money to be greedy for.Chu Suiliang was more than sixty years old, traveled a long distance, and the evening was not guaranteed, so he was tossed, so he wrote a book, first, to show his loyalty, to show that he did not rebel, and secondly, to beg for mercy.said that I did a lot of work for you to become the emperor back then, but later your father died of illness, and a few of us helped you sit on the throne, did Your Majesty forget?
Finally: "The remaining teeth of the ants, beg Your Majesty for mercy." ”How pitiful this is, the old minister really can't stand it, you spare the old minister!
After Li Zhi saw it, he still didn't mean to let him go.You Chu Suiliang is really good, living in a high temple, using seniority to rely on the old and sell the old, and coerce the emperor; is far away from the rivers and lakes, and begging for mercy with seniority, the minister of orphans is amazing!
Li Zhi has had enough.In fact, the crime of belittling Chu Suiliang is quite funny, Guizhou is so far away from Chang'an, and Chu Suiliang has never brought troops, how can he have a chance of winning there?
It's too unreliable, and most people won't believe it.But Li Zhi just believed, why is this?
Because he is mediocre?
He has a low IQ?
Absolutely not, it is impossible for Li Zhi not to understand such basic common sense, the reason why he did this is because this is what he instructed the emperor to rectify these people, Xu Jingzong just provided an excuse.Li Zhi has a division of labor with Wu Xu, Xu Jingzong, Li Yifu, etc., if it is the opposition who wants to rectify the harem, Wu Xu will find a reason; If the target is a hostile faction among the ministers, Xu Jingzong and they are responsible for finding evidence, even if it is fabricated, anyway, they can't be nameless.Li Zhi can't say that he found out that there is a problem with these oppositionists himself, the emperor lives in the palace, how can he know so many things, and he has to deceive people, and he has to deceive people, which is reasonable, otherwise it is difficult to explain to the people, so that they can believe that Li Zhi approved of the ridiculous "rebellion" of Han Ying and others, and dealt with it, you will never be able to wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.In fact, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened, more than 50 years ago, Emperor Wen of Sui opened the seventeenth year, the prime minister Yu Qing was successful in surveying the chaos, the class returned to the dynasty, passing through Lingui Town, Tanzhou, and made a comment on the terrain: "This sincerity is dangerous, and there is enough food, if you can defend it, you can't attack it." ”The gist of it is that this place is easy to defend and difficult to attack.Unexpectedly, these seventeen words turned out to be evidence of rebellion, and he was finally killed by Emperor Wen of Sui.Yu Qingze didn't really prepare to rebel, but those words just fit Emperor Wen's suspicion, and more than fifty years later, Ji and others were demoted for the same reason, all of which were routines.Now Chu Suiliang, Han Ying, and Lai Ji have all been driven away, and Li Zhi has successively appointed Du Zhenglun, Ren Yaxiang, and Lu Chengqing as prime ministers.Du Zhenglun originally assisted Li Chengqian, because he leaked Li Er's words, he was sent out to the Guzhou Assassin History, and then demoted to the State Assassin History, after the prince was deposed, he was simply exiled, and later although he was enabled, he only served in the local area, and it was difficult to get ahead, and now Li Zhi re-enabled him, Du Zhenglun was not allowed to worship Tian'en, and closely rallied around the central government headed by Li Zhi, and swore allegiance to the death.Ren Yaxiang turned out to be a military general, and this time he came out of the military system, and he was originally Li Zhi's henchman, but now he has vacated a vacant position, and he can give it to others if he doesn't give his confidant.Lu Chengqing was once rectified by Chu Suiliang, and more importantly, he was born in the Lu clan of Fanyang, and he did not deal with Li Luji, the enemy of the enemy is a friend, plus Lu Chengqing has been in the place for a while, and he can be regarded as a capable minister.Looking around at the prime ministers, there is no longer the eldest grandson Wuji, this Jian has removed his wings, as long as he waits for the opportunity, he can attack his uncle.After removing the wings of the eldest grandson Wuji, Li Zhi and Wu Xu finally attacked the eldest grandson and the old fox, and the first shot was naturally the number one mad dog Xu Jingzong of the two of them, Xu Jingzong directly falsely accused the eldest grandson Wuji of "communicating with foreign countries and vainly trying to rebel"."
Your Majesty, the eldest grandson Wuji is deeply connected with the British rebel Li thief, and his second son is a senior officer of the British rebellion....... and the eldest grandson Wuji has conspired with Chu Suiliang, Han Ai and others many times to abolish His Majesty, and the crown prince Li Zhong should be abolished as the emperor......
His rebellion has already shown signs, and the old minister is worried that he will take urgent measures when he knows that the matter is exposed, and will call on the same party internally and rebel externally, which will become a big disaster.I hope that Your Majesty will deal with it decisively and arrest him as soon as possible. ”Xu Jingzong said to Li Zhi seriously.Li Zhi wept bitterly on the surface, and said with tears in his eyes, "How can I bear to convict my uncle, and what will future generations of historians think of me?"
”In fact, he was secretly happy in his heart, the old fox I want to die to correct you, the reason why he wants to cry is not to cry to Xu Jingzong, but to cry to the historian who started writing on the side, after all, he is an uncle, a former hero, if he kills him, he will be in the history books in the future, if he does not show sadness and innocence, but is very calm, and even smiles, future generations will definitely say that he is ruthless.I don't know if more than a thousand years later, when a fat man surnamed Jin killed his uncle surnamed Zhang, he thought about it so much.Xu Jingzong is Li Zhi and Wu Xu's henchman, where can he not see Li Xiaojiu's thoughts, his eyes rolled, and immediately cited the allusion of Emperor Wen of Han killing Bo Zhao, Li Xiaojiu, you see that Emperor Wen of Han killed his uncle Bo Zhao, and future generations don't call him Mingjun, so the evaluation of future generations has nothing to do with whether you kill your uncle or not, so what are you afraid of.After Xu Jingzong comforted Li Zhi and Li Xiaojiu, he quoted the ancient precept of "when you are constantly decided, you will suffer from its chaos", urging Li Zhi to make up his mind quickly, "Your Majesty, can you not be soft-hearted, once the eldest grandson Wuji gets in touch with Li Zhi in the west and forces you to abdicate, it will be too late to regret it......."
The person Li Zhi hates the most is his brother-in-law, Li Lu, who established himself as the emperor in Broken Leaves, the more he thinks that what Xu Jingzong said makes sense, yes, the relationship between the Guanlong Group represented by the eldest grandson Wuji and Broken Leaves is not shallow, Once they have the intention of abolishing the establishment and collude with Li Lu in the west, wouldn't their throne be very dangerous?
No, the Guanlong Group must be suppressed and split, even if the eldest grandson and old fox are his own uncle, even if he has a great contribution to becoming the emperor, it will not work.At present, he has dealt with Chu Suiliang and Han Ai and other core representatives of the Guanlong Group, and has torn his face with the Guanlong Group, and there is no turning back from the bow, in front of the imperial power, even if the eldest grandson old fox is his own uncle, Li Zhi made up his mind to take down the eldest grandson old fox, and he did not confront his uncle, so he issued an edict to cut off his official position and fiefdom, exiled to Qianzhou, and let the state capital send troops to escort him along the way.In the past, the high eldest grandson family came to an end, Li Zhi's sixth brother-in-law, secretary and supervisor Sun Chong was also unceremoniously exiled to Lingnan by his brother-in-law, the old fox knew that his emperor's nephew was determined to eradicate himself, no matter whether he and Li Lu were close or not, as an auxiliary minister, he couldn't avoid this pass, fortunately, he left his second son in the west, with him, the eldest grandson family may have a chance to recover....... just on the old fox's way to Qianzhou, Li Xiaojiu sent someone to retry the case of the rebellion of the eldest grandson and the old fox, and as a result, the Yuan Gongyu sent forced the old fox to commit suicide, and the old fox cried a lot and then sent it to see Li Er and his sister ........ with three-foot white silk, and the death of the eldest grandson and the old fox marked that Li Zhi really grasped the power, and Chang'an changed overnight, and also marked the end of an era and the decline of a group......
