Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred and eleven, the Lord fears and humiliates the ministers

Dali Temple Qing Di Renjie, Yu Shitai doctor Li Qiao, official department Shangshu Yao Chong, Xingbu Shangshu Wang Xiaojie four people are sitting together in a painting boat on Luoyang River at the moment.

Except for the four of them, there is not even a servant for use in the whole room. The four people occupy one side of the Eight Immortals table, with their hands either touching the rim of the steaming teacup or gently Banging on the table, the atmosphere in the room also seemed heavy at this moment, giving people a feeling of anxiety and depression.

From time to time, Di Renjie might look at Li Qiao and Wang Xiaojie. The four of them looked at each other, but in the solemn atmosphere, no one was willing to speak openly.

They already knew about what happened in Luoyang City during the day. Even when they heard the news, the first reaction of the four of them was to send someone to persuade them, hoping to arrive at your majesty. Before Luoyang, let these people disperse, don't act so remonstratively, lest your Majesty Longyan is furious, and eventually the situation will go in the direction of uncontrollable loss.

As soon as they learned the news, they were about to send someone to persuade them, or when they were going to persuade them in person, they received the order from the palace, and they only said one sentence: "Everyone is good to live in the house and rest. , If you really want to keep the court stable, you might as well think about how to deal with the aftermath."

Everyone received the same will. Everyone fully understood the moment when they received the will. This is a real decisive battle between your majesty and the five surnames, seven hopes, and nobles. This war depends on the force of the palace and the reform. Who gave in first.

But having said that, in this silent war, as long as the two parties win, the benefits will be unimaginable. After all, this war will have a bearing on the foundation of the country and each A matter of centuries-old interests of big power families.

So they are not at all surprised that the wealthy and nobles, headed by the five surnames and Qiwang, will pour into the connections that the entire Datang can gather, and they are bound to risk their deaths and admonish your Majesty.

"Are these data accurate?" Doctor Li Qiao, a doctor from the Imperial Palace, looked at the thrilling numbers on the note, his back was cold.

"Luoyang Fu Yin just handed the memorial to his majesty, and after hurriedly out of the palace, he gave me such a list. I must not be wrong. So many officials were involved, obviously thinking that I was involved. Datang, now your Majesty will definitely not do the law to blame the public. After all, it involves five hundred people in my Datang officialdom. If your Majesty wants to stabilize the officialdom and prevent local government affairs from stagnating, naturally It is impossible to punish these officials who risked their death and remonstrance at will. But...gathering so many people here to risk their death and remonstrance, have they ever thought about your Majesty’s face? Are they obliged to force your Majesty to submit, or express to your Majesty The determination to break for the jade and not for the whole." Di Renjie shook his head and said, while the teacup at the back end wanted to take a sip, but because of the seriousness of the matter now, he lifted the cup and glanced at the green tea, and then lost it again. He let it go with a sigh of emotion.

Looking at Di Renjie's actions, Wang Xiaojie still shut his mouth tightly, his eyes were on Yao Chong, the official secretary.

This incident is not just a matter that can be resolved by a staff member in cooperation with your majesty. In view of the fact that the current number of court officials involved has exceeded their imagination, plus those who have the honor of the Tang Dynasty, This time I am afraid that since your majesty's accession to the throne, he has encountered something more dangerous than the famine in the previous two years. If one is not handled well, it may put the entire court or the Tang Dynasty in a state of immortality.

Yao Chong looked at the three pairs of eyes that stayed on him. He also sighed before opening his mouth. Then he said unhurriedly: "In this incident, the noble family headed by five surnames and seven hopes Too much, so forcing your Majesty, does your Majesty have any reason not to be angry? The few sitting here must be the same as those who have a good understanding of our majesty’s temperament. They have always been soft and hard not to eat, and even never care about the people of the world. For my own evaluation, but because of this, your Majesty has been established as the prince and now is the emperor of the Tang Dynasty. For so many years, he has put all his thoughts on the well-being of the people in the world, never before. No bad habits! Although the East Palace was not frugal, his majesty took charge of the household department until he inherited Emperor Taizong’s majestic Wu Yingming’s command of Shangshu. He has never done anything with great virtue, even when the Xiandi’s dragon body was poor. During the years when he was in charge of the country as a prince, his Majesty has always been strict in self-discipline and has never been extravagant and licentious. Don’t forget, when it comes to the richest person in the world, I am afraid that no one can compare Can you afford it? My Datang Treasury does not have as much money as Taiyi City, right? But did your Majesty spend all the money on himself? In the famine of the past two years, your Majesty did not hesitate to pay Miss Bai to pay from those places The rich and powerful people bought high-priced grain in their hands. Even though the treasury does not have a lot of silver in their hands, the money has been put into the Tang Dynasty's community, and there is no extravagant waste of a penny. And the most important thing is... In these years, whether you were a prince or governing the country, or any decision made after he was enthroned, has your Majesty experienced big deviations? Now that Datang can have such a prosperous and powerful atmosphere, your Majesty is indispensable, in comparison Compared with your majesty, the contributions made by the noble riches, headed by the five surnames and seven hopes, to my Datang Jiangshan Sheji are simply... I think this is an insult to your majesty. They have gathered nearly three thousand now. People risk their deaths to admonish, whether it is for the stability of my Datang Sheji, or for the benefit of their own family, I must all know well..."

"Master Di and Master Li, and what I mean is, at this critical moment, how can we help your majesty tide over the current difficulties and the possible misjudgment of your majesty by the people of the world. Your majesty. It has always been wise and well known by all the ministers in the court, but not all the people in the world live on the court. They can understand your majesty’s wise deeds like we do, and your majesty and the five surnames and seven hopes of these noble families are originally If you don’t deal with it, what we need to consider now is how to let these people pour dirty water on your majesty when they jump over the wall in a hurry, and stain your majesty’s sage..." Wang Xiaojie, as a minister of the criminal ministry, interrupted Yao Chong’s unhurriedness. After flattering Li Hong's words, he said with some dissatisfaction.

On the other hand, Yao Chong was not angry. He still took a sip from his teacup and listened quietly to Wang Xiaojie's words. After the three of them put their eyes on him again, they continued to speak slowly: "The Lord is worried about the humiliation and the death of the minister. In these years, whether you are here, Lord Di, or Lord Wang, you have followed His Majesty to conquer things, and you all understand His temperament. Now I just want to say, Your Majesty has always acted wisely and decisively, and there has never been any decision-making error. Therefore, those of us as courtiers, since we want to help your Majesty, we must have no doubt that your Majesty’s support for any decision-making is, not now... ."..

Yao Chong said there was a slight pause, watching the expressions on the faces of the three of them calmly, and there was no wave of dissatisfaction, and then he continued to speak: "We, as ministers, cannot doubt your majesty’s decision. On one basis, all the adults received your majesty’s verbal instructions as soon as the incident happened. It is obvious that your majesty will have a thorough showdown with the wealthy and noble families headed by the five surnames and Qiwang. There are more than five hundred officials in Tang's officialdom. Your Majesty will resolutely ban the source of the court officials headed by Wuxing Qiwang and recommending others for officialdom. Therefore, I think that what we can do as courtiers now is... …."

Yao Chong’s eyes began to flicker~ IndoMTL.com~ There was a sneer at the corners of his mouth, and his tone never became stern, and continued to say: "Everyone is above the court. The right-hand man who is relying on, presumably will not choose to intercede for the noble and noble family headed by five surnames and seven hopes at this moment, so I will not hide your next plan..."

"Oh? Master Yao, please tell me directly, so that I can also refer to one or two, fortunately, at this critical moment, I can share my worries and solve problems for your majesty, so as to fulfill the responsibility of the minister." Li Qiao's eyelids twitched and grasped The teacup's hand tightened and asked Yao Chong, who looked a little unpredictable, and with a stern and tough look.

Yao Chong smiled in his chest and looked at the three of them and said, "As the official secretary, what I can do for your majesty at this time is...Check the official assessment data of previous years, and look for it today. More than five hundred officials, when they were in the first place, were they able to pursue their politics and fulfill their responsibilities when they were in their positions. In this way, in the next case, some people who only eat royal salaries and corpse positions can be found among them. Can your majesty reduce the risk of being slandered by others when making decisions to deal with these people?"

Finally, Yao Chong’s face flashed with a successful conspiracy smile, and instantly the entire face was in the eyes of the three of them, like the face of a cunning and treacherous old fox.

Di Renjie was the first to react. He struck his beard and looked at Yao Chong’s triumphant smile and laughed. Just now before Yao Chong told his plan, Di Renjie had already thought about this in his heart. It's just because they don't control the officials, the understanding of these officials is relatively poor compared to Yao Chong, so when making decisions in this regard, there must be a hint of ideological hesitation.

Now I see Yao Chong, who is the head of the six prestigious books, first put forward such a suggestion, and my heart suddenly became clear and relaxed.
