On the other hand, Wu Zetian knew that cool officials could not threaten the emperor's position, because these cool officials were a bunch of scoundrels to put it bluntly, they couldn't win the hearts of the people, they didn't have any political schemes, and they couldn't usurp the throne.

Therefore, Li Zhi's top priority, in addition to all the affairs of Chang'an City, is to take measures against these people in advance.

Because they perished one day earlier, the surname Li would have suffered many fewer casualties.

"In the next few days, I will rush to Luoyang City, I have also shown you the list of cool officials before, I heard the head of the Sun family say that the trend of cool officials there is intensifying, and many of our people surnamed Li have suffered from death, I will interfere with this trip, do you have any orders here?"

This statement is to look at King Ming.

King Ming nodded:

"This kind of incident is being passed on in a steady stream, and it is also my worry! I remember you said before, do you have a way to deal with that Junchen? ”

Li Zhi smiled:

"Not only Lai Junchen, but the twenty-three people on his list are just some ruffians, maybe the power at this time doesn't have much effect on them, but these people are extremely afraid of the people in the rivers and lakes in the cultivation forces! It may be on the bright side, it can't really be banned for the time being, but secretly collecting evidence of their crimes has been arranged more than a year ago! This time, in addition to warning them, I also have to see what evidence has been collected to what extent, otherwise there will be no dignitaries and close relatives around the Wu clan to jointly advise and depose, I am afraid that Wu Zetian can completely change another group of people, which will not solve the actual problem! ”

"Will they still take measures against the people around the Wu clan?" Mrs. Yu was surprised.

Li Zhi replied in the affirmative:

"These people are extremely bold, and they are not only targeting the old ministers of the Tang Dynasty, so as to extort money and collect money is their real purpose. As far as I know, not only the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty are silent about them at present, but also the Taiping princess and the kings of the Wu clan are also among the false accusations in the future! And I have a basis, but they haven't started to put it into action yet! ”

"Why is that?"

"These people are not stupid, they know that Wu Zetian is currently the most concerned target, once she usurps power and succeeds, the Wu family's world will be stable from now on, and they will abscond with a batch of property!"

In history, not only those kings, but also the imperial heirs at that time, Li Xian and Li Dan, were all in their list, and the content was to falsely accuse these two of wanting to rebel against the Janissaries of the North and South Ya, which shows that these cool officials are bold.

The purpose of Li's trip was to secretly check whether their false accusation list and perjury had been involved, and that was when it was time to take measures.

But before that, it was also imperative to deter these people, and many old Tang ministers in Luoyang City suffered because of them.

Among the twenty-three people, the three led by Su Junchen had been severely taught by Li Zhi as early as Dengzhou, and he knew the fear in the hearts of these people.

There is a reason for such caution, and in a way, the cool officials also help to consolidate the throne.

This is not only because the cool officials can help the emperor get rid of the opposition, but also because most of the common people only know how to hate the cool officials, but they don't know who appointed the cool officials.

Therefore, when the cool officials aroused the anger of the people, the emperor "immediately decisively" executed the cool officials, and then symbolically reviewed them, saying that he did not pay attention to the people, and was ashamed of the people, etc.

At this time, the people will be moved to tears, and the mountain will cry long live.

And for the emperor, what is a dead cool official, there are many cool officials, isn't it okay to find another batch?

The list of false accusations mentioned above actually comes from a "Luo Weaving Sutra" recorded by Lai Junchen.

It not only contains an exhaustive list of target people, but even records all of his cool official experiences.

It is the first classic in human history to create an unjust prison, a naked confession of evil, and a complete book of trickery that collects evil wisdom.

The last time Li was in Luoyang, he sneaked into Laifu to search for this book, and at that time there were not enough half-counted traces of historical records, but it also showed the mystery of why traitorous ministers lived better than loyal ministers.

In addition to this, there is a very peculiar roster, on which he registers all the officials from the prime minister down to the prime minister, so that in order of the stroke of the surname, they can gradually seize their beautiful wives and concubines in the future.

This time he went to Luoyang, there was another reason, that is, to establish a relationship with Di Renjie as early as possible.

After this person was in the position of prime minister, he assisted the country and the country, cared about the people's livelihood, and made outstanding political achievements.

Moreover, Li Xian's position as the crown prince was re-established, and this person's contribution was great, otherwise there would still be major changes in the subsequent smooth restoration.

The reason why Li Zhi asked King Xiang Ming was because Di Renjie had served as the Cheng of Dali Temple, and King Ming should be quite familiar with him.

Therefore, through the recommendation of King Ming, he built a foundation for friendship with Di Renjie.

But he didn't want to expose it too early, so he adopted such a tactful strategy, even if it was King Ming himself, he didn't want to leak it a little.

At this moment, King Ming said: "What can I command, since I have withdrawn, I don't want to be involved anymore!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and said: "This is not good, in the future, you will have a term in office sooner or later, even if you are too old, the court will need you to help you in the future!" ”

Because of the previous discussions, about following Li Zhi to stay away from this world in the future, King Ming was not very interested, mainly because he couldn't let go of the development of his descendants in his heart.

Moreover, the Ming Wang's Mansion is the home of the third court captain, and he doesn't want to fall because of himself, otherwise he will have a negative ancestral inheritance.

The old Ming Wang and his wife were also willing to go with them because of the stay of the Ming King, otherwise they would have the same concerns.

King Ming waved his hand and asked, "Do you have any other ideas?" For example, do you want to find a credible person in Luoyang Dali Temple so that you can act easily? ”

"That's not it, the current cool official organization, nominally belongs to Dali Temple, but in fact it is a special department specially opened up by Wu Zetian, and it is impossible to find a credible person, but it will be dangerous after being investigated! However, you can always introduce a few good ministers who are known for not being afraid of the powerful, so that I can also pay attention to other things besides the surname Li! ”

King Ming didn't know his intentions, but he also recognized this reason, and exchanged words with King Xuan and others for a while, and proposed a few names.

Sure enough, it included Di Renjie's name, and promised that before Li Zhi left, a special letter would be delivered.

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Li Zhi also deliberately reminded everyone to leave, because Wu Sansi had mentioned that before tonight, he would personally bring the ram Junmao to the door to discuss relevant matters.

The rest of the people also returned to the Ming King's Mansion with the King of Ming, sat there for a while, and Li Zhi left with the King of Linhuai.

There were still his family members in the county king's mansion, and after arriving, it was just short before dinner, so they decided to eat here and then rush to Zhengqing Wenqitang.

At night, I stayed at the stores in the east and west markets until the market closed, and when I returned to the winery, I found that almost everyone I knew had appeared.

Today's winery has long been out of the simple nature of the past, with a spacious enough yard and all kinds of wine freshly out of the cellar.

Coupled with the fact that his eyesight had recovered, he completely started thinking about this aspect.

In just two days, a corner of the courtyard was opened up to feed the area, with herds of cattle and sheep, more than a dozen sets of large barbecue grills, and dozens of newly hired chefs.

And tonight's guests have indeed given enough face, and the dozens of large and small tables placed in the open air have already been filled.

Even if many of them are running for Li Zhi, in fact, the old Liu Tou, who couldn't see things before, is already famous in Chang'an City.

This is because there is a wide range of liquor that is not available anywhere else, and good drinkers value fresh liquor, even if the agarwood of baijiu is far more mellow than that of new liquor, it cannot resist this temptation.

At some point, it became a trend in the city to drink here, and it seemed that a table here would not only satisfy the curiosity of the guests, but also be a face-saving thing.

So after learning that the winery suddenly added enough dishes, since last night, it has been full of customers, from noon to midnight.

Tonight, because Li Zhi created a shocking event in the city, it was already difficult to find here, that is, the corner of the wall outside the courtyard was also full of tables, chairs and benches, densely packed with people.

From a distance, Li Zhi was laughing, and now the wine shop has become the kind of barbecue stall in the modern era of later generations, and under the smoke and fire, there are also many people dressed in brocade and silk.

Little Ibn loved this kind of occasion the most, and he could be seen in the distance, already five years old, excitedly busy at the various wine tables.

Seeing the arrival of Li Yi and his party, not only did most of them turn their heads to look, but little Ibn even dropped the tray in his hand and ran up and jumped into Li Zhi's arms.

Along the way, people kept getting up to greet them, and perhaps in the eyes of some people, it would be a great honor to get acquainted with Li Zhi and others.

Among the guests, there are many people dressed in government and military forces, which was strictly forbidden in the ordinary Fang City in the past, but it actually appeared here, and it did not seem abrupt at all.

Of course, these people need to ask for a private room in a small two-story building, not because of their status, but because they really don't match the atmosphere of the scene, and they must be a little evasive.

Different from the past, there were more gang members from Tonglin County in the scene, and Cliff Mountain was the main person.

At present, the Five Gangs also have close contacts with Cliff Mountain, because the iron yards and military factories there need a large number of helpers.

The tribal army of Cliff Mountain has absorbed a lot of strong labor for the five gangs.

All this is based on Li Zhi's influence, and he is also happy to see such a situation, and it is undoubtedly very gratifying that he has close ties and helps each other.

Among the five gangs, there are three Li Zhi's friends, that is, Wei Lin, the deputy master from the Five Ancestral Sect, Chu Jianmu, the second elder, and Bian Rong, the fifth elder.

They obviously came for the cultivation qualifications of Tongyun Cave, and the previous time Li Zhi opened his mouth, the three of them returned fruitlessly.
