Since Han Yi dared to let Wu Meiniang discover that he had a secret meeting with Changsun Wuji, he was naturally not afraid that Wu Meiniang would tell Li Zhi about this, because at that time, although they were eating at three families, he did not feel sorry for any of them. He was doing his best to run errands for them, and he had never done anything wrong, took money and eliminated disasters for others. He always upheld this belief.

Wu Meiniang wanted to mess with Changsun Wuji, but he gave advice. He also encouraged Changsun Wuji to fight back and fight to the death with Wu Meiniang. In addition, he also helped Li Zhi cover up and was concerned about Li Zhi's reputation.

I really can't find any problems.

He was neither greedy for power nor formed a clique for personal gain. Instead, he was wholeheartedly considering the country of the Tang Dynasty, and he had never received even his salary.

Moreover, Han Yi's entire plan is triggering. At the beginning, the initiative was never in his hands. If Wu Meiniang didn't do this, Han Dashan's grave would be emptied. How could so many things happen?

But Han Yi knew Wu Meiniang's character, which was cruel and ruthless. He would be revenge and would never tolerate him. His only protective umbrella was his policy. Wu Meiniang would definitely start with his policy, thereby weakening his position in the court and the people's hearts.

Say all this was done by Han Yi?

Han Yi himself couldn't believe it.

Of course, Li Yifu, the best teammate, really has nothing to say. In Han Yi's entire plan, he is definitely a shining point. Before he died, he was still trying hard to protect Han Yi. Han Yi was very moved. Unfortunately, his value has been completely exploited. As a businessman, Han Yi naturally would not save something worthless.

However, when Li Zhi came up, he was dismembered by five horses and killed all over the family. How could the clan ministers kneeling below not be afraid?

Li Zhi turned his eyes to Xu Jingzong again.

Xu Jingzong was trembling all over, with tears in his eyes, and begging.

This is completely different from the arrogant, domineering and arrogant Xu Jingzong who never takes anyone seriously.

Li Zhi said loudly again: "As for Xu Jingzong, all the official positions and titles I have exempted from now, your property will be confiscated. Go back to your hometown and never set foot in Chang'an again. As for your son Xu Ang, exiled to Lingnan."

He did not kill Xu Jingzong. At the time, Xu Jingzong was indeed in Luoyang and helped Wu Meiniang in trouble in the world. Moreover, Xu Jingzong was smarter and let Li Yi's mansion lead the way. The advantage was that he must have made a lot of money, but he did not directly participate. Moreover, he made many contributions to Li Zhi after all, and he was so old that he could not survive for a few years, so Li Zhi decided to give him a way out.

If this were the case in the past, Xu Jingzong would definitely jump up in anger. He had this personality, but now Xu Jingzong was frightened and not executing him, it would be a blessing for him. He quickly thanked the emperor for his kindness and did not dare to say even a word.

Li Zhi waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Xu Jingzong, who was powerful for a while, was kicked out of the Liangyi Palace. For him, it might be very cruel, but this is just a cycle of cause and effect.

General Xin Mao could not escape the disaster, but Li Zhi did not kill him because he did not participate too much, that is, he was relieved of his official position, confiscated his property, and allowed him to go home. In fact, it was a bit unreasonable to remove him from his post on the charge of General Xin Mao, but Li Zhi had no choice. These people had money in their families and could not convict them, and the country now needs money.

Xin Maojiang was really angry to death, and he was inevitably implicated by Li Yi’s mansion!

Li Zhi said again: "Teacher Xu, Lu Chengqing, and Wei Siqian."

"I'm here."

The three of them said in unison.

Li Zhi glanced at the three of them, sighed, and said, "Although you three are not corrupt and abused the law, one of you is the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Justice, and the Censor, but you allow Li Yifu and others to corrupt and abuse the law. I am now exempting you from your official position. Do you have something to say?"

"I have nothing to say."

Lu Chengqing and Master Xu said in unison.

Although they were relatively innocent, they were not completely responsible, because when Wu Meiniang proposed the new policy, they both participated, and they both supported the new policy, so they were kidnapped by Li Yifu.

Wei Siqian said, "Thank you for your life. I have indeed let you down your Majesty's trust. I have nothing to say about this crime of dereliction of duty. Even if Your Majesty wants to kill me, I have no complaints. But I have not been removed from office yet, and I am still a censor. So I have to say something."

Li Zhi frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Wei Siqian said: "The main responsibility for this crisis is the queen. The new policy was proposed and presided over by the queen. Li Yifu was also recalled by the queen. If Your Majesty wants to punish the minister, the queen should be punished first."

This is not wrong at all. The queen is the one who presided over the revision of the new policy. They are just assisting the queen. Now that the new policy has become like this, the queen is not guilty. What crime do I have?

The other ministers also looked at Li Zhi and were a little ready to move.

As the saying goes, everyone pushes it down.

When Li Zhi heard this, he couldn't help frowning.

"Doctor Wei's words are wrong."

Han Yi suddenly stood up and said, "I think the queen is innocent."

Wei Siqian looked at Han Yi and said, "Then I want to hear the great opinions of Shangshu Ling."

Han Yi said: "Because the queen's new policy is not wrong, what is wrong with you? The only thing the queen does is to revise the new policy. Li Yifu and others did not strictly implement the queen's orders, and even obeyed the situation, which led to the outbreak of the crisis. Then, just talk about the matter, the queen is of course not guilty."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately cast a surprised look.

Li Yi's mansion just exposed the secret meeting between Han Yi and Changsun Wuji, which contained a lot of information. These ministers were not stupid, and they all noticed some clues.

Li Ji hurriedly said: "The Shangshu Ling said it is reasonable, and the queen's original intention is still good, but the people below do not execute it properly, so you cannot blame the queen for it."

Li Zhi glanced at them gratefully.

In fact, Li Zhi also knew that they were not protecting the queen, but protecting the prince. If the queen was deposed, the prince would definitely be deposed. According to the tradition of the Central Plains, if the eldest son inherited it and Wu Meiniang was deposed, then Li Hong would become the concubine's son, which would be injustice.

Han Yi immediately said: "In the same way, I also believe that Lu Shangshu, Xu Shilang, and Wei have only minor mistakes in this case, and it is not a big mistake, because they are like the queen, and they are still thinking about the country and the people. However, they are not able to implement the queen's policies well, but there are certainly crimes of dereliction of duty. According to my Tang Dynasty laws, it would be a bit too serious to be exempted from official positions."

Li Zhi smiled slightly and said, "Who doesn't know what to do according to the Secretary of State's intention?"

Han Yi said: "I think we should give them a chance to make up for their merits. It just so happens that Bianzhou, Bozhou, Songzhou and other prefectures lack a general lack of governors. I mind transferring them there. I believe they all hope to make up for this mistake. After all, there is no reason for such a chore to make up for us, the heroes." After all, he spoke righteously.

Li Ji looked at Han Yi and was really convinced. In fact, he wanted to save Lu Chengqing and the others, but he didn't think of any good excuses.

When Li Zhi heard the back, he almost laughed out loud, glared at Han Yi in a hidden way, nodded and said, "Since Shangshu Ling pleads for you, I will give you another chance. You can retreat first and listen to the arrangements."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness."

This queen is not guilty, nor are you guilty, so Wei Siqian has nothing to say.

The three of them bowed and looked at Han Yi with gratitude before leaving.

In fact, they really want to make up for it, because these literati yearn for famous things to be kept in history. If they are relieved of their official positions in this crisis, they will be nailed to the pillar of shame. This will be a huge blow to them. At first, the three of them felt very wronged, because they were all born into nobles and attached great importance to reputation. It was too cruel to do such a thing in the first place.

Li Zhi looked at Liu Xiang again and said, "Mr. Liu, get up."

Liu Xiangdao was already wet and stood up tremblingly, but he was still shaking, and finally stabilized his body.

Li Zhi said: "You have not made any mistakes, just stand in your position."

"Thank you, thank you."

After hearing this, Liu Xiangdao was so happy that he was so lucky that he could survive.

He was very lucky because he was the Minister of the Secretariat and the Minister of Personnel, and Li Yifu was the Minister of Personnel, who was directly crushed to death. Li Yifu almost refused to let him take charge of the affairs. He was lucky enough to escape this disaster. Lu Chengqing and others had no one to bear it himself. This is why Han Yi was unwilling to be the Minister of the Secretariat. The Minister of the Secretariat was in charge of the six ministries. He had to be responsible for any of the accidents in any department. This is really a scam.

Li Zhi said again: "But this matter is not over yet. I know that there are still many officials involved. I must investigate it to the end this time. Di Renjie, Changsun Yan, Cui Jieren."

"I'm here."

Di Renjie, Changsun Yan, and Cui Jieren immediately stood up.

"I am now promoting Di Renjie to the Shaoqing of Dali Temple and Changsun Yan to the Minister of Justice. You three are responsible for thorough investigation of this matter."

"I obey the order."

This is equivalent to the trial of the Three Departments, and Cui Jieren was not promoted because Cui Jieren was too young and was the chief censor himself. He could not be promoted to the chief censor. The premise was that he could not be compared with Han Yi. Han Yi made many great contributions. Now he is the Shangshu Ling, and no one is dissatisfied, but he himself does not want to be.

Subsequently, Li Zhi also appointed Wang Xuandao as the Minister of the Secretariat, Liu Xiangdao as the Minister of Personnel, Ren Zhigu, and Lu Shiguao as the Minister of the Sect.

They made considerable contributions to this crisis. Although they were all at the level of a minister, judging by their age, this was definitely an exceptional promotion.

And this time, Li Zhi directly awarded them all the third ranks of the Tongshu Sect, which means that they were the new prime ministers.

This is a very huge personnel change.

The significance of this meeting is here. As soon as Li Zhi came up, he directly dealt with Li Yi Mansion and Xu Jingzong, and he was in a place of doom and could never be reborn. This meaning is not just to promote good and punish evil, but to know that Li Yi Mansion did not do much bad things before.

This sent a very, very important signal that the queen had been completely inscribed into the cold palace because Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong were Wu Meiniang's right-hand arms. He cut off his arms at once, which was a serious injury to his vitality. This was not stopping. When Han Yi just returned, he wiped out all the forces in the middle and lower levels of Wu Meiniang and all the forces in Luoyang. This was equivalent to the fact that Wu Meiniang's power in the outer court was wiped out, and there was no waste left.

Li Zhi basically took back all the power in Wu Meiniang's hands. Wu Meiniang had no qualifications or reasons to interfere in the affairs of the court, and Li Zhi immediately established a new prime minister team, which was equivalent to blocking Wu Meiniang's retreat. There was only one reason why Wu Meiniang was not used, because she was the prince's mother, that's all.
