Chapter 327
Impeach Zhao Nantang! Everyone's faces changed. After all, no matter how much Li Fan said, he was just a small county magistrate. Any power that could stand in this Shame Knowing Hall was far beyond the reach of a county magistrate.
However, Zhao Nantang is different.
That was a real important official. Everyone understood that although the peace sect now has the upper hand, with the onset of the border, Zhao Nantang, who dares to fight and is willing to fight, will definitely be highly valued.
But the right prime minister impeached Zhao Nantang... Everyone was thinking about it! Emperor Jianye was calm and said calmly: "Oh?
Impeach Zhao Nantang?
Talk.”
Wu Jingrudao: "Your Majesty, how could Li Fan have the courage to kill thousands of people and split the Shangguan with just a chariot?
Obviously, in Yangzhou, there must be someone who covers the sky and supports it!"
"It has been verified that when Linchuan County Magistrate led his troops to capture Li Fan, he was blocked by the black-armored cavalry of the Zhao Mansion, and even Linchuan County Magistrate Tai Shi Jian and others were all arrested and imprisoned!"
He said in a deep voice: "I would like to investigate Zhao Nantang thoroughly and convict him of interfering with political affairs and acting indiscriminately!"
Wu Jingru finished speaking.
Everyone in the field looked extremely serious! Interfering with political affairs and acting rashly! If these two crimes are really confirmed, even if Zhao Nantang is to protect the country, he will definitely not be able to withstand it. The consequences will be very serious! "Reported to the emperor, Gao Nanshi, Zhili of Yangzhou, and Helian Chengpo, the governor of Yangzhou, he also reported that Zhao Nantang interfered with local government affairs and condoned Li Fan to kill innocent people without permission. I believe that in addition to Li Fan, he must be convicted according to what Lord Sun Zhongfu said, and Zhao Nantang should be convicted of personal gain!"
At this time, another civil servant stood up, and it was the real power of the Wang family in Yangzhou, the Minister of Rites and Wang Zhibing! This time, he naturally became the spokesperson of the Yangzhou bureaucratic group in the court! Another minister-level figure spoke, and all officials were even more awesome! "I will discuss it!"
General Duan Congrong of the Guard spoke, and he said in a deep voice: "Zhao Nantang is arrogant and domineering, which damages the military prestige and discipline. Please ask the emperor to arrest him!"
Two Shangshu and one General Wei! They are both real second-rank officials! "I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
...For a moment, all the officials spoke! The peace sect was already closer to the civil servants, and at this moment, both sides were completely standing on the same front! It was necessary to borrow the matter of Li Fan to harm Zhao Nantang! Among the officials, Wen Baishan's face changed. He subconsciously glanced at the emperor on the dragon throne and found the gloom that flashed through the emperor's eyes.
He had a vaguely foreshadowed that this time, all officials attacked, and the emperor would probably not be able to suppress it in one word! Since Wu Tian’s time, civil officials and lords were suppressed. Since then, Zhao Nantang, who was highly valued by Wu Tian’s, has been a thorn in the eyes of civil officials and a thorn in the flesh. For so many years, the emperor has always placed Zhao Nantang in Yangzhou, which to some extent was also a kind of protection for Zhao Nantang.
But this time, Zhao Nantang was finally caught by the civil servants! Wen Baishan's eyes turned to the right prime minister Li Wen, who was on the left.
Li Wen didn't say a word from beginning to end, his face was always calm and calm as if it was a matter of the scene, and it had nothing to do with him.
No one can affect him, floating outside the dust.
This is the feeling of Wen Baishan, which makes Wen Baishan feel more afraid of Li Wen.
From the day he was chosen by the emperor, entered the court, and gained the emperor's trust, this sense of fear has always existed and never disappeared.
He knew that Li Wen might be the only one who can control everything in the court today.
Sure enough, the emperor's eyes slowly fell on the right prime minister Li Wen.
"I have urged the Ministry of War to strengthen the collection of border information."
Feeling the emperor's gaze, Li Wen spoke naturally, but what he said had nothing to do with the hot topic in the field.
Everyone was crazily impeaching Zhao Nantang, but he mentioned the border.
Everyone was a little surprised and looked at Li Wen in confusion.
“Continue.”
Emperor Jianye spoke lightly.
Li Wen said: "It has been verified that half a year ago, the Hu people sent a noble man to the Qiang tribe in person. It should be a conspiracy to raise troops together and infringe on our border."
Everyone was even more confused. Why did Li Wen pull the topic apart?
Li Wen ignored everyone, but looked at General Duan Congrong, the Wei general, and smiled and said, "General Duan, if I was not wrong, many years ago, you had installed a chess piece inside the Qiang people, right?
In recent years, General Duan’s tiger camp has won many battles against the Qiang people, and that chess piece should have already been at a high position.”
When Duan Congrong heard this, his face changed slightly. How did Li Wen know?
!The chess piece is his trump card, even among his direct line, he never told the second person! However, Li Wen mastered it so clearly... it was terrible! Duan Congrong hesitated for a moment and could only nod.
Li Wen continued: "This chess piece should destroy the alliance between the Qiang people and the Hu people?"
Duan Congrong nodded and said, "He will kill the nobles sent by the Hu people. At that time, Qiang and Hu will definitely fall into a civil war."
He was originally prepared to wait until the Hu people were in great power and the court was shocked, and to use this move to solve the major border problems, he would inevitably be more favored by the emperor, or even take a step forward, replace the lion pattern on the official uniform with the kirin pattern, and replace it with Zhao Nantang... But now, Li Wen has seen through it, so he had to admit it.
Li Wen turned around, looked at the emperor, and bowed, "Sage, Zhao Nantang is an important official, and has made great contributions to the country. I think that perhaps, the Holy See should be given to him and let him live his life."
These words made all the officials present calm down for a moment and were thinking! "Good skills... the border matters are over. In this way, the emperor really has no reason to protect Zhao Nantang..." Wen Baishan raised his eyes, with a hint of worry.
How could he be? The moment Li Wen finished speaking, he had already fully understood Li Wen's intention.
Why do the current emperor rely on Zhao Nantang?
Nothing else, Zhao Nantang dares to fight and can fight, and can be called the Great Wall of the Great Xi Kingdom! But what if the foreign troubles of Da Xi Kingdom are calmed down?
The Qiang and Hu alliance will be defeated by Duan Congrong. Is Zhao Nantang's value to the Daxi Kingdom that is so important?
He once again felt that over the years, the right Prime Minister Li Wen, who was able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai and remain as motionless as a mountain, over the years, was by no means luck.
This insight into the essence and clarity of wisdom is sophisticated and rare.
Others only know how to put pressure on the emperor with various crimes, but no one solves the problem for the emperor and shares the worries for the emperor. After all, Zhao Nantang is indispensable in the war. So, how could the emperor attack Zhao Nantang?
Li Wen did it.
Moreover, he did not seek to kill others like others. He suggested that Zhao Nantang live his life.
Perhaps, this is the art of politics?
Fight around power, but never want to see a trace of blood?
Wen Baishan wanted to say something, but looking at Li Wen's back, he could only sigh slightly.
"Right Prime Minister... It's amazing!"
"Okay... In this way, the border troubles will stop. Master, please immediately ask Zhao Nantang for guilt!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
After thinking for a long time, the officials finally understood the profound meaning of Li Wen, and they spoke for a while! Everyone in the court was full of rage! "This may be the most dangerous time for Zhao Nantang in so many years..." Wen Baishan couldn't help but speak, with regret in his heart, especially when he remembered the battle in Yangzhou, those veterans who were not afraid of death in the Xinglin battle... But he could not speak out for Zhao Nantang because this time, Li Fan did too much and no one could keep it.
Emperor Jianye's face gradually became gloomy.
Now, all the officials have a mouthful of evidence. Originally, he should have followed the flow and asked Zhao Nantang to leave the court...that might be the best result.
However, he was thinking and hesitating.
Among all the officials, Li Wen looked at Emperor Jianye lightly, as if he knew everything, or he didn't pay attention to everything in the field.
After a long time, Li Wen said: "Master, Li Fan once shocked the world with two articles, "Encouraging Learning" and "Words and Stories for the People". It is known to everyone that the Master is very eyeing to Li Fan."
"If this time, if there is no severe punishment, I am afraid that the world will feel that Li Fan relies on the power of heaven to dare to be so arrogant and domineering."
Wen Baishan's face shook again! This was pressing step by step! The emperor's hesitation made Li Wen realize that the emperor did not want to follow the wishes of all officials, Li Fan?
In the eyes of the emperor, the emperor may not have reached this point, but the emperor may not want to implicate Zhao Nantang... However, Li Wen's words actually gave the emperor a dilemma.
This time the matter was too big. Li Fan could not explain to the civil and military officials of the court at all. Zhao Nantang might be qualified! When the emperor heard this, anger flashed in his eyes.
No matter how reasonable Li Wen said, the emperor felt a threat.
"Forget it, Li Fan has committed many crimes. First, I will check it with the Ministry of Justice. As for whether it involves the General of the Protective Country, I will decide after Li Fan's crime is verified!"
The emperor finally spoke! Hearing this, all the officials relaxed their expressions! "Although they did not agree to let us move Zhao Nantang, as long as they arrest Li Fan, Zhao Nantang would not be able to escape!"
"Yes, after arresting Li Fan, there are some ways to find evidence of Zhao Nantang's violation of the law!"
"Kill Li Fan first! This evil thief dares to kill Shangguan, and he will be attacked first!"
All the officials spoke one after another.
Sun Zhongfu was relieved at this moment, with a cruel murderous intent in his eyes! - No one who was investigated by his Ministry of Justice could escape the palm of Sun Zhongfu's hand! "The wise man, I am here to arrest the Ministry of Justice and wait for the shore to reach the shore!"
Sun Zhongfu spoke loudly! Wen Baishan sighed long, he understood that this time, Li Fan was dead... "Is it just a flash in the pan after all?
It's a pity..." he murmured.
"Report!"
At this time, outside the hall, a voice suddenly shouted: "Geor Lin is in a hurry!"
Ge Lin was anxious! In an instant, everyone in the Hall of Shame was shocked.
Chapter completed!
