Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Nine hundred and twelve schemes


Di Renjie and Li Qiao looked at each other tacitly. After hearing Yao Chong's words, the big stone in their hearts instantly fell.

After all, this time they invited Yao Chong, the official secretary, to come here, hoping to reach a tacit agreement with Yao Chong on this matter, otherwise they would follow him in the name of Dali Siqing and Yu Shitai doctor Li Qiao. The weight, to impeach or investigate the negligence of more than 500 officials in their duties, is more or less not so convincing at this sensitive and urgent moment.

So if Yao Chong, who is in charge of and supervising the achievements of the world’s hundred officials, is added, and then the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of Shangshu Province will assist, then these more than 500 officials, even if they are honest and clean. For the people of the country and the people, when faced with your majesty’s decision to dispose of them, coupled with the joint impeachment of the four of them, they must be able to suppress this matter, which is not conducive to your majesty’s influence to the minimum, at least not to let the time Your Majesty fell into an embarrassing situation of being scolded by the world.

So this time, in the name of Di Renjie and Li Qiao, Yao Chong and Wang Xiaojie were invited to a boat on the Luoyang River to have a private conversation. The two people wanted to help Li Hong as much as possible under the court. And the planned strategy.

Dali Temple is the highest judicial organ in Datang, and it shoulders the heavy burden of criminal justice. The Ministry of Criminal Justice examines justice and hears cases. Any official of Datang is eligible to conduct investigations, especially now there is Dali Temple. Qing opened the door to convenience so that the Ministry of Criminal Justice, when trying local cases, could completely ignore whether Dali Temple would be obstructed or interfered in the final trial. It was completely free to use the laws of the Tang Dynasty. According to the law, these five hundred people were given some unwarranted charges, or they imposed strict officialdom rules that were accustomed to officialdom. As a result, several people believed that even if they were officials with two arms, they could be found out. The problem comes.

With such a two-pronged approach, any official who encounters the trouble of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice deliberately finds the door, will cover his head and scream.

And even if the officials feel wronged and untrue, even if they feel that they want to add to the crime, they want to repay the Dali Temple, the Criminal Ministry, and their own supervision through the Yushitai. With innocence, this road is now completely unworkable, after all, Doctor Yushitai has been two emperors.

When Li Zhi was reigning, Li Qiao was an uncontroversial doctor of Yushitai. Now that the new emperor has been on the throne for more than five years and six years, Li Qiao is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. From this we can know that Li Qiao Not only is the government satisfied with the government affairs of Yushitai, but it is also valued by His Majesty.

So I can make the court and your majesty a satisfied person, and now I am willing to share the worries and solve problems for my majesty, and take the initiative to fight against the wealthy and nobles of the five names and seven hopes. At this time, once you are caught by the Dali Temple and the Criminal Ministry Coupled with the people on Yushitai being targeted by Sanji, where is there any hope of turning over?

What's more, the impeachment of Fengyan Zhuangye was originally the responsibility of Yushitai, but now it is only at a sensitive moment, talking about topics that officials are unwilling to talk about, plus the intervention of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice. It is impossible for officials to retreat from the union of the three divisions.

Even if he was able to retreat in his entirety, even if the three divisions were unable to form an effective threat or accusation against him, in the end he still had to pass the official department Shangshu, which is in charge of the achievements of local officials, there must be no official In my job, I have never done anything to offend people.

So once Di Renjie sits together and wants to plot and design an official, then the fate and future of this official basically have no hope at all, let alone the four working together. With mental arithmetic and unintentional, in this way, I am afraid that in the entire Datang, no official can retreat without being stripped of the skin after being tacitly stared at by the four people.

From the original heavy atmosphere, as the relaxed and tacit smiles on their faces appeared more and more, the atmosphere of the whole room began to become more relaxed. It was Lien Junwu who was born behind. The impatient Wang Xiaojie appointed by Hung as the Shangshu of the Criminal Ministry, at least there is no worry on his face at this moment.

The four people sat together tacitly to discuss the next various methods, including some unexpected situations that may occur in the process, how to make up for it, and how the four departments should cooperate tacitly.

Speaking of the last, Yao Chong, who is still unhurried, said again: "If I can cooperate with the three adults in a tacit understanding, and can help my majesty, I will naturally be very happy in my heart, but... Don't pour cold water on the three adults." Finally, Yao Chong shook his head and smiled bitterly when he looked at the puzzled and puzzled eyes of the three of them.

Di Renjie was slightly stunned when he heard Yao Chong’s words, but still took the lead and asked: "Master Yao, if the four of us can work together, we must follow the method we discussed earlier. I dare not say that it is tenable, but the most At least 70% of the certainty is enough? So I asked Mr. Yao for advice. I don’t know where I am waiting for an omission, which makes Mr. Yao worry now?"

"It’s not that our strategy has gone wrong, or that we have dealt with local officials all the year round since we took charge of the staff, and we really can’t think of anyone who can retreat without any problems with the four of us. .. It’s just... Master Wang listened to me to finish.” Yao Chong watched Wang Xiaojie open his mouth to speak, and patted Wang Xiaojie’s shoulder with his left hand, motioning him to wait a moment. ..

So Yao Chong continued: "While we helped your majesty solve problems, we forgot two things. Of course, one of the things was in the subordinate department, but it had nothing to do with the three adults." Yao Chong looked at the eyes of the three of them, and stopped selling them, and hurriedly continued: "One thing that is related to the four of us is whether we should enter the palace by one person, and first probe your Majesty’s tone and thoughts. What about your son? In case your Majesty has other plans, we have been discussing for a long time now, is it a waste of energy? So we want to share the worries for your majesty, even if this matter is temporarily kept from your majesty, we must also know what your majesty wants Only then, I'm afraid that I will have to trouble Master Di to enter the palace personally to check your majesty's tone, right?"

Di Renjie, Li Qiao, and Wang Xiaojie nodded in agreement when they heard Yao Chong’s words, and the next few people focused on Di Renjie. After all, among the four, the relationship between Di Renjie and His Majesty is now considered to be The most harmonious thing is that although Yao Chong or Wang Xiaojie or Li Qiao can directly meet Li Hong when entering the palace, but in terms of seniority, even Li Qiao does not think that his weight in His Majesty's heart is much heavier than Di Renjie.

So when the three of them looked at Di Renjie, Di Renjie knew that he could only do this visit to your Majesty.

So he nodded without evasiveness at the moment, as he agreed to go to the palace to inspect Li Hong tomorrow morning, and then Di Renjie looked at Yao Chong and asked, "Then what about the second thing? Although Mr. Yao just said the second This matter is only related to the staff, but it must have appeared because of my waiting strategy. I don’t know if Lord Yao can reveal one or two, let me wait for Lord Yao..."

"There is nothing to hide, but what I am worried about is that with the participation of more than 500 colleagues in today’s bold remonstrance, and our strategy to mediate, as a result, the lack of local officials … It’s an extremely troublesome thing for your Majesty. After all, this matter is also of great importance. Your Majesty will have a showdown and a decisive battle with the wealthy and honorable men headed by Wuxing Qiwang, but the local government affairs are equally irresistible. Is it also a kind of pressure to change? And according to our strategy, it will take at least two to three months for this matter to be completely resolved. For such a long time, the absence of local officials has been vacant, but It’s not something that is beneficial to your Majesty~IndoMTL.com~ to my Datang Sheji or the people."

Di Renjie listened to Yao Chong’s words, then looked at Wang Xiaojie and Li Qiao, nodded again and said: “It seems that Di’s trip to the palace is imperative, but Master Yao doesn’t have to be too Worry, just like what you said about the emperor, since you can feel that your majesty may have other strategies, then you are not sure, your majesty has already thought about how to fill these five hundred vacancies, so Di A certain enters the palace tomorrow to listen to your Majesty’s tone, and then how about we still meet here?"

"So, thank Master Di." Yao Chong slowly stood up and saluted Di Renjie when he heard Di Renjie say so.

Yao Chong has always been cautious. Perhaps it is also related to the official book, who is the head of the six books. He always speaks and does everything without leaking. He never leaves any handles to others, and never owes any favors.

Now at the end of the four people’s secret talk, Yao Chong is willing to accept Di Renjie’s seemingly small favor, but he is already submitting a certificate to the three of them. Obviously, it is to reassure the three of them. In the middle, he Yao Chong decided not to affect the tacit agreement reached by the four because of his own affairs.

Just as the four slowly walked out of the painted boat room, arguing over who was going to pay for today’s expenses, Li Dan, who was also the Imperial College Prisoner, was in the shadow of the lights of the palace, under the guidance of the maids. Walk to Li Hong's palace.

I just came out of Zhenguan Temple, and after learning from the mother that his father’s emperor had had a vertigo attack this time, there was not much worry, so he turned a corner and walked towards Li Hong.

Combining with the fact that nearly 3,000 people risked their deaths in Luoyang City today, Li Dan felt that as the younger brother of the Emperor of Tang Dynasty, he should go to the emperor's brother at this time and ask if there is anything he can do for him. .
