Li Longji raised his eyebrows, looked at Zheng Peng, who was expressionless, and then said in a deep voice: "Ouyang Qing's family, what do you want to impeach?" ”

If you don't say it sooner or later, you will run out to impeach him when he is about to be rewarded, and he will go against himself, and it is strange that Li Longji is happy.

Ou Yangming said expressionlessly: "Your Majesty, Weichen impeached Zheng Peng, the general of Zhengxi, for the ten major crimes. ”

"When Zheng Peng was in the barracks, he often arrived late and left early, did not arrive at the time, did not meet the deadline, changed the teacher's law, and committed the crime of slowing down the army, which is the first crime;"

"Zheng Peng went out as a general, and as a general, he also brought the maidservants of his family into the military camp in the form of personal guards, disturbing the morale of the army, which is the second crime;"

"Zheng Peng's cronyism in the army has prevented many talented soldiers from coming forward, which is the third crime;"

"When Zheng Peng was training in Xiao Bolu's army, he had too close a relationship with Xiao Bolu's officials, and he also secretly accepted benefits from Xiao Bolu's officials, which is the fourth crime;"

"When Zheng Peng trained the four armies of Ximen, he encouraged soldiers to attack each other, training was a good thing, Zheng Peng did not grasp the degree as the chief general, so that the four armies of Ximen died fifty-eight people in five years, the emperor, colleagues, please understand clearly, these fifty-eight people did not die on the battlefield, nor did they die in the bandits, but died in the training ground, there is a suspicion of careless disregard for human life, this is the fifth crime;"

"When Zheng Peng was training in Xiao Bolu, he dug salt mines privately, secretly colluded with his accomplices to secretly sell the illegal salt, made a fortune, and secretly divided the money from the sale of illegal salt with his subordinates, and did not include it in the state treasury, which obviously damaged the public and private interests, which is the sixth crime;"

"Zheng Peng has repeatedly used the imperial court to transport supply vehicles to traffic illicit salt, and public weapons are used for private purposes, which is the seventh crime;"

"When the Tang Dynasty was at war with Tibet, Zheng Peng ignored the ban of the imperial court and sent his subordinates to carry a large amount of contraband to the black market and sell them to the merchants of Tibet at a high price, making a windfall, which is the eighth crime;"

"When he went out to Tibet, Zheng Peng ordered his subordinates to kill, often slaughtering villages and tribes, even men, women and children were not spared, killing too much, hurting the peace of the heavens and damaging the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, this is the ninth crime;"

"Zheng Peng is nepotistic, and often uses small favors to bribe and win over his subordinates, so that many soldiers in the Western Army only know Zheng Peng, but not the imperial court, and Zheng Peng has a close relationship with the leader of Gelulu, Kuro, and the lord of Tuqishi, Landuo, and is suspected of hegemony in the Western Regions and the king of the soil, which is a ten-guilty crime."

Ou Yangming said Zheng Peng's ten cardinal sins in one breath, and the original court meeting, which had a good atmosphere, instantly became serious, and many people had solemn looks on their faces.

After a little respite, Ou Yangming immediately added: "Your Majesty, these are all evidence of Zheng Peng's crimes, please check it out for the emperor." ”

While speaking, Ou Yangming took out a thick stack of files from his sleeve, Gao Lishi hesitated, but still took these files and carefully placed them in front of Li Longji.

Li Longji opened it and saw that the file contained detailed records of Zheng Peng's various crimes, including confessions, transaction records, receipts, etc., and was quite well prepared.

The dossier was very thick, hundreds of pages long, and some of the records were still detailed in the transactions at what time and moment, Li Longji glanced at ten lines, took a cursory look at a small part, and then closed the dossier quietly.

After closing the file, Li Longji did not speak, nor did he express his position, and Wang Hui, the secretary of the military department, couldn't help but stand up and say loudly: "Your Majesty, the general will not grant the order of the foreign monarch, and General Zheng has less than 10,000 men and horses in his hands. ”

The Imperial History of the Western Regions Supervisor, who was ordered to report on his work, glanced at Ou Yangming like an idiot, and wanted to come out to defend Zheng Peng, but looked at Zheng Peng, who was silent, and then looked at Li Longji, who had not expressed his voice for a long time, and finally chose not to move.

"General Zheng won more with less, defeated Tubo, raised the prestige of the Tang Dynasty and the army, and Weichen also admired his ability" Another imperial historian named Ye Ruonan stood up and said with a serious face: "Merit is merit, fault is fault, the two cannot be confused, the emperor, Weichen also wants to impeach General Zheng as a court official, his body is not right, his misconduct is wrong, please punish the emperor severely." ”

listed Zheng Peng's top ten crimes at once, any one of them was confirmed, Zheng Peng didn't have any good fruit to eat, seeing that Zheng Peng was still quiet, Ye Ruonan, who was wearing the same pants as Ou Yangming, also stood up to impeach Zheng Peng.

"Your Majesty, Zheng Peng, as a general of the expedition to the west, secretly incarnated as a lowly businessman, insulting the dignity of the imperial court."

"Zheng Peng took advantage of the convenience of his identity as a general of Zhengxi to hook up with Tuqi Shi as Jian, secretly conveying benefits, and asked the emperor to investigate."

"Zheng Peng, the general of Zhengxi, has an unscrupulous style of life, which has a great influence on the government and the opposition, and damages the reputation of the official."

"Weichen received a report that Zheng Peng was in cahoots with Huang Yang, the chief of the Western Regions, and wantonly arranged for the soldiers and soldiers of the Western Regions to hold official positions in the Western Regions, and their deeds were suspicious."

Ou Yangming's impeachment was just a prologue, as if blowing a signal for battle, and soon seven ministers came out to impeach Zheng Peng.

Seven ministers, one of whom is the Imperial Servant, two Imperial Historians, one Zhilang, and three officials of the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of War.

The atmosphere in the Taiji Hall suddenly became tense, and everyone knew that Zheng Peng was either angry or jealous, he had just made a great contribution, and he hadn't even been rewarded yet, and so many people had jumped out of his impeachment at once.

Many ministers looked at Zheng Peng, who had not spoken out, with a sympathetic look in their eyes.

Sympathy is sympathy, but it is definitely not easy to have such a generous person, and the ministers also vaguely guessed which one it was, but no one dared to say justice.

Li Longji coughed dryly, signaled the ministers to be quiet, and then stared at Zheng Peng and asked, "Zheng Peng, did you hear what you said just now?" ”

"Back to the emperor's words, I heard it very clearly." Zheng Peng still said calmly.

"I ask you, what do you have to explain about the impeachment of so many ministers?"

Zheng Peng looked at the seven ministers who impeached him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, when Weichen was training in the fourth battalion of Ximen that day, he made a military order that Tubo would be broken within five years, and the emperor would not interfere with what Weichen did within five years, I don't know if the emperor still can't remember this." ”

"Of course I remember" Li Longji said with a straight face: "I promised you that I would ask people to give money, ask for money, and let Yang Ji, the Imperial Supervisor of the Imperial Army, and Huang Yang, the Grand Governor of the Western Regions, fully cooperate, and give the Qing family the right to make their own decisions." ”

Zheng Peng saluted Li Longji and said respectfully: "Emperor Xie has justified Weichen's name, and with the emperor's words, Weichen feels that this matter does not need to be explained." ”

As soon as the words fell, the Taiji Hall was amazed and in an uproar, and many ministers did not know that there was such a secret agreement between Zheng Peng and Li Longji until this time.

In this way, even if Zheng Peng has something inappropriate, there is no need to explain.

The crown prince Li Ying gave Li Linfu a look quietly, Li Linfu understood in his heart, looked at Zheng Peng, who was a little arrogant, and then looked at Xiao Song, the expressionless Zhongshu Ling, gritted his teeth, suddenly came out of the ranks, saluted Li Longji, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Weichen has a few words I want to ask General Zheng." ”

There was no turning back arrow when the bow was opened, he couldn't hold Concubine Wu Hui's thighs, and he couldn't do the grass on the wall, under the coercion and temptation of the prince, he completely stood on the side of the prince Li Ying, because there was a gap between the prince's mansion and the Zheng mansion, and the people of the Zheng mansion did not mean to reconcile with the people of the prince's mansion.

Someone in the court was targeted, and his foundation was too shallow, Li Linfu felt that it was difficult for him to ascend to the throne, and after touching many nails, he decided to take advantage of this opportunity to follow Wei Zheng in the Zhenguan period and take a different path of admonishment.

What others dare not say, say it yourself;

If others dare not speak, speak for themselves;

What others dare not do, do it yourself.

Li Linfu thought clearly, now Li Longji has a large number of people around him, who want to be literate and martial, that is, there is one less minister who dares to speak, speak and do.

After understanding, Li Linfu knew that the person whom the emperor Li Longji admired the most was the former emperor Li Shimin, in Li Longji's eyes, Taizong Li Shimin and himself had many similarities, such as not the eldest son inherited the unification, sat on the throne of God after several hardships, and sat on the throne of God The queen has the ability to make the Tang Dynasty more prosperous and powerful, for this reason, Li Longji often uses Li Shimin's deeds of diligence and love for the people to encourage himself, isn't there a lack of a minister like Wei Zheng, and he can play this role.

The most important point is that Li Linfu is from the Tang Dynasty clan, that is, his own people, sometimes it is a little too much, and I believe that a person like Li Longji will forgive himself.

Wealth and danger are sought, and they fight.
