Chapter 721: Tit for tat(1/2)

 At this time, Wang Jifeng quickly persuaded softly: "Duke Zhao, this rough man is just a bunch of gangsters. His Majesty can't do anything to him, why bother provoking him?"

Changsun Wuji had no choice but to nodded depressedly.

The civil servants present were ridiculed and insulted by Cheng Yaojin, but no one spoke any more.

These people have different minds. They either don’t want to provoke this old guy or are unwilling to involve civil and military struggles, so they will naturally stop.

Li Jing couldn't help but smile secretly at this time.

The reason why I am aggressive as soon as I appear today is that I want to divert everyone's attention from the impeachment of Yang Fan.

At the same time, we also convey a message to the officials who impeached Yang Fan, Yang Fan and the others have Baoding!

It seems that the results received are good.

After a while, Zhuhong's palace door slowly opened.

The court officials entered the hall in order, and the court meeting officially began.

His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting high above, certainly felt the tranquility before the storm came.

The civil and military officials did not speak first, and a strange silence fell into the hall.

After a while, Huang Luan, the censor in the palace, came out to work at the warning of a group of Jiangnan officials: "Your Majesty, I impeached Yang Fan, the governor of Jiangnan Road, to force the people to work, disrupt the stability of Jiangnan. At the same time, Yang Fan bullied the good, attacked the nobles of Jiangnan, and used their power to seek ill-gotten wealth."

"Yang Fan went to Jiangnan for a few months and had already made Jiangnan furious. The sky was angry and people were resentful. If it was not severely punished, the rich and stable Jiangnan would be declining from now on. This is a disaster for the prosperous era. Please punish Yang Fan!"

As soon as these words came out, a sound of gasping in the hall sounded.

The ministers stared at the inspector who was born in Jiangnan. This was a big deal!

This impeachment is obviously different from the news they heard!

Kill Yang Fan!

Is this too serious?

Even if the crime is committed, at most Yang Fan is transferred back to Chang'an and removed from his position.

What is most surprising is that Huang Luan actually dares to say that Yang Fan uses his power to do something wrong.

What does this mean?

You should know that Yang Fan went to Jiangnan on behalf of the emperor.

Doesn’t this sentence point directly to Li ***’s incompetence?

If he really wants to do it, Li Er will really have the hat of a foolish emperor on his head.

For Li Er, who values ​​reputation more than anything else, this is simply the most intolerable.

Do these Jiangnan gentry have to stay alive?

Wang Jifeng, who was standing in front, looked disbelief at this time.

If you want to impeach Yang Fan, you will impeach Yang Fan. Why do you need to involve the emperor?

These people are simply seeking death.

Originally, I wanted to lead the Guanzhong family to join forces with the Jiangnan gentry to put pressure on the emperor, but it seemed that I really had to consider it.

Are officials of the Jiangnan gentry pigs?

It would be strange if the emperor dared to point his finger at the emperor.

Sure enough, Changsun Wuji looked up and saw that His Majesty Li Er's face was as dark as the bottom of a disaster, and his tiger eyes stared at the censor Huang Luan fiercely.

Although the emperor did not say a word, it can be seen from the shaking muscles at the root of the teeth that Li Er was so angry at this time.

Under the Imperial Palace, Changsun Wuji's cold sweat suddenly appeared.

broken!

Why are you, the censor in the palace, so bold?

Although I know that Huang Luan is the representative of the Jiangnan gentry, it is really stupid!

If you want to add a show, don’t pull the emperor in!

Now Changsun Wuji really regrets it.

In his opinion, the Jiangnan gentry people were simply unbearable to help.

Originally, he dared to participate in the impeachment of Yang Fan. In addition to hating Yang Fan, he also decided that in the face of the general trend of maintaining stability in Jiangnan, His Majesty Li Er dared not fight against the Jiangnan gentry, and even chose to surrender.

In fact, after all, this incident of impeachment of Yang Fan is actually just a Jiangnan scholar

The clan wants the emperor to have an attitude.

The meaning is very obvious. Li Er, you can come to Jiangnan to get a share of the pie, but Yang Fan must be removed so that everyone can maintain a relative balance.

However, now, things have long exceeded Changsun Wuji's imagination.

Obviously, this must be someone who is secretly trying to use the original intention of the Middle Ages to push the scale of the trend to an uncontrollable level.

Now, these people obviously want to involve the Guanzhong family.

I originally thought that everything was under control, but at this time Changsun Wuji had no choice but to wait and see what happened.

He felt a deep sense of powerlessness, and cold sweat dripped down...

I always feel like I've been plotted against!

At this time, a needle fell in the hall can be heard.

Who is Li Er?

That's a guy who regards fame as more important than life.

Huang Luan actually pointed directly at the emperor in such a brainless way, which really made him brave.

Is there really someone who is making trouble behind him?

But except for the thousands of years of families like the Five Clans and Qiwang who united, who dared to challenge the emperor openly?

The situation is unclear and no one dares to express their opinions easily.

Even ministers who remain neutral still wait and see what changes are happening.

Li Er, who was on the throne, had a very gloomy face, but he didn't say a word and sat quietly to see if anyone jumped out.

Soon, another censor, said: "My minister, Wang Sui, impeached the Jiangnan Road Grand Governor. During his tenure, Yang Fan relied on his power to repeatedly rob the finances of Jiangnan nobles. Not only that, Yang Fan was arrogant and domineering, and was not arrogant and directly sentenced to death on the people under his rule. At the same time, in order to report to the court, he used a private magazine and asked His Majesty to investigate clearly and punish him severely, so as to correct the national laws and give the people in Jiangnan a bright world!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the civil and military ministers looked at each other and showed a definite expression.

Everyone can see it!

These people were not just targeting Yang Fan, but obviously they were heading towards the emperor.

As soon as Wang Sui finished speaking, another person came out to ask for a report: "My minister, the censor Cui Rong, impeached the Jiangnan Dao Grand Governor, and regarded the Jiangnan people as pirates for no reason. At the same time, Yang Fan's expansion of the scale of the navy exceeded the regulations of the court. His actions were shameful and his heart could be punished. Please remove his post immediately and escort him back to Beijing for review."

The wave of impeachment followed one after another, and except for the voice of the censor, the hall was silent.

The civil and military ministers subconsciously looked at a group of Jiangnan officials.

Could these guys have bribed all the supervisors and censors in the court?

The Censorate of the Tang Dynasty was divided into three departments, and the Censorate was under the Censorate Department. Its rank was not high and its power was extremely powerful.

"New Book of Tang" once recorded: "There are 15 censors in total. Except for the third rank of the censor, the rest are all below the fifth rank."

"The Censor is in charge of the position of all officials, inspecting prefectures, counties, prisons, military affairs, sacrifices, camps, and cashiers. They are all in the Taifu. They know the left and right wings of the court and the outlines of hundreds of officials."

Simply put, these guys have low official prices, but they can manage all officials, or even the emperor's words and deeds.

【In view of this,

It seems that there is nothing they can't control between heaven and earth!

The most important point is that these censors can report the news and impeach them randomly even if there is no evidence.

The news and reports of the Tang Dynasty actually inherited the "criterion of the Three Dukes' news and reports" of the previous dynasty.

According to records, officials and ministers of the Three Dukes of the Eastern Han Dynasty could impeach and report to the governors under 2,000 stones based on rumors, which is called "report and report".

By the Southern and Northern Dynasties, he became a special power to become a censor.

By the Sui and Tang dynasties, it had become the same existence as the court's laws.

As the name suggests, the so-called news is that as long as you hear it, you can verify it or not, it can be used as a reason to impeach officials.

Of course, the power of simple hearsays and reports is of course completely different from that of factual evidence.

Especially for Yang Fan who had done such a thing, but was just being exploited by someone, which was simply fatal.

There are too many rumors that can be true, which is what is called the so-called three people becoming tigers.

What's more, so many officials in the court disliked Yang Fan, and even if they went to verify, they would not protect Yang Fan.

By then, although Yang Fan may not be beheaded, it would be easy to demote him and dismiss him from office!

Although the emperor could be tough and partial to Yang Fan, he even insisted on supporting Yang Fan.

However, in order to favor a minister, he went against most officials in the court, which was obviously likely to cause the court to become in chaos.
To be continued...
