Chapter 1617 I am serious
Wu Meiniang's move was a secret. No one expected that she would add fuel to the fire and abolish Li Yi's mansion, including Changsun Wuji and Han Yi, who did not expect Wu Meiniang to do this.
Because in their opinion, Li Yi's mansion is really important to Wu Meiniang. It is definitely a banner of Wu Meiniang in the outer court. It has a much greater role than Xu Jingzong and others. It also has a close interest entanglement with Wu Meiniang. Not long ago, Wu Meiniang took risks to protect Li Yi's mansion repeatedly, but it has only been so long that it is impossible for Li Yi's manipulation by himself. This is a little too cruel. Changsun Wuji and Han Yi can't do this, so it is difficult for them to think that this was controlled by Wu Meiniang.
But this is Wu Meiniang. Every move she has made has been something that others dare not imagine. She has made her move very decisively and has a very clear purpose, so she will definitely not drag her back.
If it were other women, I'm afraid many people would choose to judge the situation and take every step. As long as you don't threaten me, there is no need to gamble. Now Changsun Wuji is no longer out of the door, and he is engaged in literary creation at home every day, and he has no sign of dealing with Wu Meiniang. The power in the court is also weakening step by step. Of course, this is based on Wu Meiniang's relationship with Han Yi.
Because no matter what, it is not easy to completely eradicate Changsun Wuji. Whether he has teeth or not, he is Changsun Wuji. If he doesn't do it well, it may be a loss. There are certain risks, and it is not small. Now Wu Meiniang is smooth sailing, and Li Hong's position as the prince is also very stable. From Li Zhi to the ministers in the court, they are very optimistic about the new prince. The situation is very good. No one wants to have another setback. Of course, they choose to take every step forward.
Take a step back and say that Changsun Wuji is so old and can't jump for a few years. He can wait for him to die, but Wu Meiniang will definitely not think so. She will not leave her destiny to God to decide. As long as what she decides, it will not change. No matter whether you, Changsun Wuji, fly in the sky, plate it in a cave, or even hide in the sea, she will pull you out and then cut off the roots.
In short, she must eliminate Changsun Wuji, and at this point, she will pay no cost.
This is also a key reason why Wu Meiniang was able to succeed. Not only did she have extraordinary wisdom, but she also had extraordinary courage. Even men, there were not many powerful queens and queen mothers in history, but no one dared to ascend the throne and become emperor. This shows that.
Changsun Wuji is such a smart person, and at this moment, he is still planning how to seize this opportunity and weaken Wu Meiniang's power in the outer court, but he does not know that this is Wu Meiniang's horn for the final decisive battle against him.
Li Zhi's imperial edict also declared that the decisive battle would officially begin.
Wu Meiniang is about to hunt Changsun Wuji, the last big fish, and completely destroy the Guanlong group, so that Wang Xuan's soul cannot turn over in hell. Of course, she did not expect that Wang Xuan is still alive in the world, and at the same time, she did not expect that Han Yi, whom she relied on, was actually Changsun Wuji's successor. This is the same as Changsun Wuji, and Han Yi did not expect that she would abolish Li Yi's mansion with her own hands.
Li Zhi's imperial edict declared the punishment for Li Yifu, Du Zhenglun and others.
First, Du Zhenglun was demoted to Weizhou for the charge of dissonance between ministers and Li Yi's mansion to Qianzhou.
This minister is not in harmony, and it is very interesting. Nothing is mentioned in any way to form cliques and commit personal gains or abuse of power.
The other ministers also breathed a sigh of relief, they were afraid that they would implicate themselves. Li Zhi also knew that they must be very scared, and the court must be panicked, so this matter must be handled early. If it is delayed, someone may come forward to protect them. Instead of dying together, it would be better for everyone to live together, and it would be even more difficult to deal with it. In this matter, he must deal with it more decisively.
As for Li Youyi, Xu Jin and others, they must have been blamed. The charges were all taken over. Li Zhi demoted them directly to common people and then sent them to Lingnan. In addition, Li Yifu's family was all exempted from official positions in the court. The meaning was very obvious. You all left me and don't stay in Chang'an. Among them, Li Yang was also sentenced to death and was given a reduction, and was entitled to Qianzhou.
Not only that, without discussing with anyone, Li Zhi promoted Liu Xiangdao to the Minister of the Secretariat, and was granted the title of the third rank of the Secretariat. He also promoted Wang Xuandao and Ren Zhigu, who had just entered the official position for one year, to the Secretariat. This was like taking the elevator up, and Han Yi was a little faster than them.
Not to mention that the ministers were caught off guard, even Wang Xuandao and Ren Zhigu looked confused after hearing the news. They did nothing and were promoted to the office. Piece would really fall from the sky, but smart people knew Li Zhi's intention to arrange this.
It's very simple, just don't create new disputes!
Although Li Zhi only promoted Liu Xiangdao as the Minister of the Secretariat, and the Secretariat was still empty, he was granted the title of the third rank of the Secretariat, which means that Li Zhi did not plan to establish the Secretariat for the time being, because Li Zhi knew that someone would definitely come to rob the Secretariat, which would create new disputes. However, there is no suitable person to be appointed as the Secretariat. Moreover, the Secretariat is a formal minister, which requires a lot of procedures and is very troublesome and is not suitable for the current situation. He arranged it first, and everyone would not be able to fight for it even if they wanted to. After the stability of the court, they would make plans.
Moreover, Liu Xiangdao is the only minister who participated in this matter and instead of surrendering but rose. It can be seen that Li Zhi agreed with Liu Xiangdao's suggestions and wanted to use this to warn other ministers that I am not a blind man. If you fight for national interests, then I will use you. If you create a dispute for personal interests, then you will get out of here. Although Liu Xiangdao participated in this matter and was still the main force, Liu Xiangdao was doing his best to share the worries for the king and work for the country. It was different from Li Yifu and Du Zhenglun.
This also shows his determination to work hard to govern.
As for promoting Wang Xuandao, Ren Zhigu's words, it would be even simpler. It's because they have only been in office for a year and have no interest in all of you. If I want to promote people here, I will not hide it there. If I want to promote people there, I will not hide it here, but I will not hide it here, so I can only use new people.
In short, the intention is very clear, just don’t continue to fight.
No one dares to continue to get entangled. Life is important. Li Yifu and Du Zheng, who are in full swing, were demoted to another place in the blink of an eye. This is really a matter of accompanying the king and accompanying the tiger!
"Dad! Be careful."
Du Zhijing carefully helped Du Zhenglun down from the carriage. At this moment, Du Zhenglun seemed to have grown a lot overnight. He got off the carriage tremblingly. Seeing that the door of his mansion was deserted, he couldn't help but feel sad and sighed heavily.
"Can't Brother Du let it go?"
Only a loud voice could be heard.
Du Zhenglun was stunned, looked up and saw Li Ji walking out of the mansion. He was stunned and said in a trembling voice: "Mao——Mao Gong."
Li Ji laughed, walked up and said, "You haven't called me Maogong for a long time."
Du Zhenglun's old eyes gradually became wet and said, "Mr. Mao, Brother Yu is really ashamed of you!" After saying that, he couldn't help but cover his face and cry.
He was able to be the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat because of Li Ji's relationship, but he ended up in such a situation. However, Li Ji rescued him, and only Li Ji came here to greet him. He was both moved and ashamed.
Seeing him like this, Li Ji sighed in his heart, held his hand, and said earnestly: "I remember when we first met, when we were full of energy, now we are all pale in our temples, we have been prime ministers, and we have been demoted. What else is there that we have not experienced? At this point in life, what else can we ask for? If we can enjoy our old age, it will be the best ending. Brother Du, you read much more than me, why haven't you even understood such a simple principle thoroughly?"
Du Zhenglun heard it and tears poured out again. He held Li Ji's hand tightly and burst into tears.
At the same time, Li Yi's mansion also returned to the mansion.
Compared to Du Zhenglun, Li Yi's mansion seemed a little lost. His heart was as big as a needle hole. How could he figure it out? He suddenly fell from the Zhongshu Ling to the governor of Qianzhou. The forces he had worked hard to establish would be destroyed.
He really couldn't accept it!
As soon as he entered the mansion, he saw Yang standing in the courtyard. He immediately opened his eyes, shook Liu Yuanzhen's hand, and rushed to Yang, "Madam, I--!"
Yang sighed: "Li Zhongshu, I'm so sorry. The queen has done her best, but this matter has become like this. Your Majesty has to do this. The only thing the queen can help you is to beg Your Majesty to exempt Li Yang from the death penalty and reunite you father and son."
Although Li Yifu was unwilling to accept it, he really didn't blame Wu Meiniang, because he could not have thought that Wu Meiniang wanted to abolish him. This was impossible. Besides, if he hadn't been so arrogant and allowed Du Zhenglun to easily obtain so much evidence, he wouldn't have been today. After all, it was his own fault. Now Yang is here. The officials who flatter him usually can't even see a shadow. Wu Meiniang rescued Li Yang, which was a little comforting for him, and choked up and said, "I'm sorry, the wife told the queen, and the Yifu disappointed her."
"You can't blame you for this matter. No one expected that things would develop to this point." Yang sighed and said, "You should stay in Qianzhou for some time. If you have the chance--!"
At this point, she stopped.
A glimmer of hope arose in Li Yifu's heart, yes! Although I am leaving, the queen is still there. The queen is so powerful, I can transfer me back!
Of course this is a lie to him. Give him a little hope, keep him steady, and don’t cause trouble for me.
This hateful person must be pitiful. I wonder how arrogant he was at the time of Li Yi's mansion. No one took it seriously, but was played with by Wu Meiniang in an applause. If you are born, you will be born, and if you are killed, you will be killed.
It's so sad!
North Lane!
"We have walked through thousands of water and thousands of mountains. Every time we meet and have little faces engraved each other."
"Did you hear it? It seems that someone is singing the same song."
Qian Dafang, who was checking accounts at the counter, suddenly stopped and said to the shopkeeper beside him.
The shopkeeper was confused and curiously said, "So what?"
"You idiot!"
Qian Dafang glared at him, then hurriedly walked out and looked to the right. Han Yi hugged Xiaopang, and the two walked along the street and sang, half-closed their eyes, both of them seemed very intoxicated.
When they walked past, Qian Dafang immediately stepped forward and said, "Brother Han, what made you so happy?"
Han Yi and Xiaopang looked at each other, and their faces were a little unhappy. How could you interrupt such a beautiful singing voice?
Qian Dafang also saw that Han Yi was displeased and said embarrassedly: "Has I disturbed you two?"
"What do you think?"
Han Yi didn't speak well.
Qian Dafang looked embarrassed and said, "Sorry, sorry, I just saw you so happy and thought there was something happy, so I wanted to ask, it's really - I'm sorry!"
Han Yi sighed, let go of Xiaopang, walked to Qian Dafang, patted his shoulder, and said, "Since you are so curious, I will tell you that there is indeed a happy event."
Qian Dafang hurriedly turned his ears, "Is that right? I wonder what happy Brother Han has?"
Han Yi first glanced at him, and whispered in his ear: "I have found the money."
"ah?"
Qian Dafang looked at Han Yi with a look of surprise.
Han Yi nodded and said, "Really, I picked up a purse at the intersection just now."
Qian Dafang said, "Congratulations, congratulations." But there was no sign of joy in his tone. When Han Yi saw Qian, what was worth congratulating? He was so rich.
"Thank you. Thank you." Han Yi smiled and said, "But I am so rich that I can only say that I am lucky, but this money is of no use to me. Since you stop me, I will give this money to you."
As he said that, he really took out a heavy purse from his sleeve and put it into Qian Dafang's hand.
Qian Dafang looked at it carefully and couldn't help but feel overjoyed, "Oh! How can you be so embarrassed!"
"What a shame about this? It was a good start at that time. I wanted my luck to spread throughout the North Lane." Han Yi laughed and said, "Okay, I'll leave first."
As he said that, he hugged Xiaopang again and continued walking forward, saying, "Xiaopang, get up!"
Brother Xiong was still not satisfied and immediately sang: "The flowers once told me how you walked through it."
"Change another song, yes--just be a real hero."
"OK!"
When Brother Xiong was about to sing, he suddenly said with a curious look on his face: "Brother Han, why don't I know when you got the money?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "Just just now."
Qian Dafang took his eyes off Han Yi, then lowered his head and looked at the purse in his hand happily. As he looked, the joy on his face gradually faded, and he thoughtfully said, "Why does this purse look familiar!" After a moment, he suddenly opened the purse and exclaimed, "Isn't this my purse?"
Han Yi and Xiaopang came to the back alley while singing a true hero and happened to meet Sang Mu.
"My benefactor, what's the matter? Are you so happy?"
Sang Mu asked with a smile.
Brother Xiong said, "Brother Han has found the money."
"ah?"
Sang Mu was also stunned.
Brother Xiong said again: "But Brother Han gave the money to Manager Qian again just now."
The more I listened to Sang Mu became more confused.
Han Yi laughed, looked around and said, "Sangmu, it just so happens that I have something to tell you to do."
Sang Mu hurriedly said, "What's the matter?"
Han Yi smiled and said, "You go and find someone for me. I want to do some illegal activities."
Sang Mu was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "My benefactor--!"
Han Yi said oh, interrupted him, and said, "Don't ask me if I'm joking, I'm serious. By the way, what do you want to say?"
Sang Mu blinked and shook his head and said, "Nothing."
Brother Xiong was erect and his fat face was smiling.
Han Yi tskated, "Can you fat guy be more serious? Forget it, forget it, go find your Mengting, I'll talk to Sang Mu alone."
"oh!"
Brother Xiong subconsciously walked to the backyard, but after walking two steps, he suddenly realized and turned around. There was a hint of blush on his fat face. He looked at Han Yi with resentment, then snorted, turned his head and walked inside.
Han Yi laughed and said seriously at Sang Mu: "Don't look at me like this, I'm serious, and I need it right away."
