Why? Why is he unwilling to admit that all this is his conspiracy?

Han Yi left, Wu Meiniang still stood in place, her eyes flashed with confusion, she thought that this time they met, Han Yi must be triumphant in front of her, showing off her martial arts, humiliating her, no, it should be humiliating her with words, after all, this is a defeat of the king, at this time you should be arrogant, so that it is happy enough!

And Wu Meiniang, such a strong woman, actually bowed her head to Han Yi, it can be seen that she is really convinced to lose this time, she is dizzy and has no power to resist, she has never felt this way, she didn't even figure out the whole thing, she also has a lot of problems, she can't figure it out, she really just wants to understand.

But to her disappointment, Han Yi resolutely refused to admit it, and almost persuaded her, thinking that she had done all this by herself.

When I saw this side, not only did I not understand it, but I was even more confused!

Who should I talk to about this!

"He's right, he really has no reason to go against me, he should be on my side in every way, it's in the best interests of both of us, so why would he do that? And now, he has no reason to hide it anymore, why does he keep emphasizing that he hasn't done anything sorry for me, is he doing all this for my good? How is this possible. ”

Wu Meiniang stood on the grass, her eyes were scattered, talking to herself, sometimes frowning, sometimes shaking her head, like a crazy woman, "No, this matter will never be so simple, he must have a plan, and maybe it may not even have anything to do with the eldest grandson Wuji, or the eldest grandson Wuji was also used by him." Why wouldn't he admit it? Why does he keep emphasizing that he is not sorry for me? What kind of conspiracy is hidden here? ”

......

And over there, Han Yi came out of the Imperial Garden, which was a relaxed face, which was a very interesting contrast with Wu Meiniang's mood at this time.

Falsehood? Hehe, your understanding of lies is really superficial! A lie is not a noun, but a verb, and when a lie is reflected in reality, it is the truth, and only when the lie deviates from the truth, it is a lie. If a few years ago, I would have been a lie, but in today's case, it's true.

The corners of Han Yi's mouth curled up with a shallow arc, and said in his heart, but I won't blame you, after all, you are not a professional.

When he came to the East Palace, Han Yi's expression immediately became solemn, as an old man, when to give what expression, it was already an instinctive reaction, and it was not a matter of improvisation.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Li Zhi.

"I didn't expect you to come back so soon."

Li Zhi was slightly surprised.

Han Yi nodded with a wry smile, but didn't explain anything.

Li Zhi also understood in his heart that Wu Meiniang definitely still didn't believe him, since he didn't believe it, there was really nothing to talk about, and sighed: "Let this matter pass, you don't have to think about it, there are still many things waiting for you to do." ”

Han Yi bowed his head and said, "Weichen understands. ”

Li Zhi said again: "The prince wants to intercede for those officials, you know this." ”

Han Yi nodded and said, "Your Highness has already told the minister. ”

Li Zhi said: "What do you think? ”

Han Yi said with a smile: "The minister is very moved and very happy in his heart, because at His Royal Highness's current age, I am afraid that he will not be able to understand the words of those saints thoroughly, it can be seen that the prince's benevolence and righteousness are innate, this is the blessing of the people, the blessing of the country!" ”

Li Zhi smiled and nodded, he must be born, and he didn't look at who his father was, and said: "You are right, I also think so, I intend to let the prince participate in government affairs, what do you think about this?" ”

Han Yi listened and was silent.

Li Zhi said: "I just want to hear your thoughts, if you have anything to say, just say it, there is no one else here." ”

Han Yi bowed his hand and said: "Weichen thinks that the prince's current age, if he directly participates in government affairs, it seems a little premature, and the minister thinks that the prince should still focus on learning, because the prince is the strongest learner at this age." ”

Li Zhi said: "That's what I mean!" ”

Han Yi said: "Regarding this point, the minister understands that His Majesty intends to let the prince participate in government affairs, and he wants the prince to deal with some government affairs." ”

Li Zhi wondered, "Is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Han Yi said: "The minister always feels that the effect of listening on the side is much better than directly participating in government affairs, after all, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear, and letting the prince directly participate in government affairs is not conducive to the growth of the prince, because if he participates directly, then the prince is responsible, and the responsibility will produce pressure, and this pressure does not come from learning, and the pressure given by the society." Let the prince study on the side, then there is no need to take on too much responsibility, then the prince will be much easier, he will be able to concentrate on learning, to observe how His Majesty and the ministers deal with all kinds of government affairs, this is more seen, thought more, and then participated, the start will be faster.

In addition, the prince's body also makes the minister a little worried, and the minister has always thought that the prince's body is the first, heavy government affairs, and now the prince may not be able to afford it, and those ministers in the East Palace, they are teaching the prince at the behest of His Majesty, they care more about the prince's knowledge and achievements, rather than others, because the prince is not in good health, His Majesty will not blame them, but the prince's knowledge is not good, His Majesty will blame them, the minister knows that His Majesty loves the prince very much, but the prince now needs more fatherly love, And not the favor of the emperor. ”

"You're right, you really can't rush this matter, you have to take it step by step." Li Zhi nodded again and again when he heard this, patted Han Yi's shoulder with great relief, and said, "It's really a blessing for the prince to have you as a good friend." ”

Han Yidao: "The minister just thinks that with the prince's talent and benevolent and filial character, as long as he is in good health, he will definitely become a generation of Ming monarchs in the future, so taking care of his body is the most urgent task of the prince at present." ”

Li Zhi listened very happily, because the prince's personality was exactly like him, not like his mother at all. said: "You go in, the prince is still waiting for you." ”

"Wechen obeys."

......

When the news of Li Yifu's father, son-in-law and son-in-law being beheaded and Xu Jingzong's dismissal spread, the entire Chang'an City was boiling inside and outside, and the sensational effect was only slightly inferior to the return of Han Yi at the beginning.

How can the people not have resentment in their hearts, that is really eager to eat their flesh and drink their blood, it is because of a few of you who have made a mess of our lives, my relatives, my parents have starved to death because of this, it can be seen that the people have been resentful for a long time!

Then you have to find someone to take the blame, otherwise you can't explain it to the world.

If you don't look for Li Yifu, you have to let Wu Meiniang take the blame.

Of course, this matter is definitely not over yet, and Li Zhi has emphasized several times that he must thoroughly investigate to the end.

And this time there are a lot of people involved!

Because once there is corruption, it must be a huge corruption system, not that one person can do it, as long as you are in this system, you can't be greedy if you want to, if you are not greedy, people will have to drive you away, everyone is greedy, you are not greedy, then you have to sue. It can be seen that in this officialdom, you are either born in the pure land, and if you want to get out of the mud without staining, you can only commit suicide by throwing yourself into the river.

Thousands of people were arrested that day.

Many gentry and aristocrats were implicated, and Wu Meiniang's policy at that time was to unite the nobles against business.

These people have a huge family, and as far as the feudal law is concerned, if you want to catch them, they will be arrested, and their relatives can't escape the involvement, why the ancient popular righteousness to kill relatives is not to say that morality is noble, but because if you don't kill your relatives, people will have to destroy you, and if you destroy your relatives, you will have the opportunity to live in the world.

Di Renjie saw this number, the whole person was faint, this has to be found in the Year of the Monkey Ma Yue, there are too many people involved, not to mention the lack of manpower, now Dali Temple and the Criminal Department can no longer fit it, and now the imperial court has no money to build a cell.

.....．

.....．

Inside the Liangyi Palace.

Li Zhi's eyes swept away, and his mood was inexplicably comfortable, because now standing in the Liangyi Palace, most of them are young talents, only Liu Xiangdao and Li Ji, two old things. Cui Jijian, Wang Xuandao, Di Renjie, Ren Zhigu, and Zheng Shanxing are all very young, of course, among them, there is the youngest Shang Shuling in the world, Han Yi.

This has never been seen before in the history of the Tang Dynasty.

It can only be said that the times create heroes, at that time, Li Zhi had no choice, so he chose a few of them to stabilize the situation first, but later found out that they were still doing a good job and showed extraordinary talents, so just let them continue to work, besides, they couldn't find a more suitable candidate.

"Today, the prince gave me a recital, after I read it, my heart is both relieved and contradictory, I can't make up my mind, you all take a look, what do you think of the prince's suggestion?"

After Li Zhi finished speaking, Zhang Desheng immediately sent the transcript of Li Hong's chapter to these ministers.

After Di Renjie read it, he immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the prince is talented and benevolent, it is really the blessing of my Tang Dynasty!" Wechen agreed with the prince's suggestion. ”

The eldest grandson Yan also stood up and said, "Wechen also agrees with the prince's suggestion. ”

Liu Xiangdao, Cui Jijian, and Wang Xuandao also expressed their approval of Li Hong's proposal.

Only Li Ji and Han Yi stood on the side and did not make a sound.

Han Yi is very cool, he can finally be on the same level as Li Ji, and he can complete the task with his eyes closed.

Li Zhi glanced at them and said, "But if they make the country like this, if they don't punish it severely, it will be difficult for me to get out of my evil spirit." ”

Lu Shigua immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, then Li Yifu is greedy and perverts the law for his own selfish desires, and Your Majesty uses Li Yifu's method to punish Li Yifu in order to vent a bad breath, and ignores the laws of the country, doesn't that mean that Your Majesty is in favor of Li Yifu's approach?" The two are contradictory. ”

Li Zhi looked embarrassed when he heard this, and secretly thought, one Wei Siqian left, and another Lu Shigua. He said: "If you don't punish it severely, how can you serve the public?" ”

Eldest Sun Yan immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty, have you ever wondered why things have evolved like this. The ministers thought that the root cause was that the law was not perfect enough, and the law was not authoritative enough to deter the ministers, so there were often ministers who were corrupt and perverted the law, because the law had no effect on them. If His Majesty wants to prevent such a thing from happening again, he should establish the authority of the law. If Your Majesty wants to punish these people, he should also punish them by law, and only when everyone obeys the law can the country be stable. ”

Di Renjie said: "The eldest grandson is reasonable, Your Majesty may not know that the people involved in this day alone have exceeded a thousand, but many of them are just obeying Li Yifu's orders, they have very little official position, if they do not obey Li Yifu, they may invite trouble, although there are many people among them who are corrupt and pervert the law, but the minister believes that it should be discretionary, not generalized, especially their families, the slaves in their families, these should be considered at the discretion." ”

Cui Jijian also said: "The prince also said in the chapter that Li Yifu's fault should not be blamed on his young son, and the minister thinks that this point is very correct." If the whole family is involved because of the fault of one person, it will only make the matter more complicated and breed more illegal things, because many officials can use the crime of the family to implicate those innocent people in order to satisfy their own selfish desires. ”

Except for Li Ji and Han Yi, everyone supported the prince's proposal.

Li Zhi was displeased and said: "After talking for a long time, I still did something wrong." Shang Shuling, you have the most say in this matter, you say, have I done anything wrong? ”

You ask Li Ji, why do you ask me? I'm wearing a purple robe, you're too much of a bully. Han Yi was so unhappy in his heart, and glanced at Li Ji opposite with envy, then he stood up helplessly, and said: "Of course Your Majesty has done nothing wrong, Your Majesty wants to severely punish these people, it is human nature, if someone makes Weichen's business useless, hum, Weichen will also severely punish him, this is certain, this person has a temper." ”

Li Zhi was extremely happy and said: "Listen, you listen, I didn't do anything wrong." ”

Before his words fell, Han Yi changed his words and sighed: "It's a pity that the prince played to the emperor as a courtier, not to his father as a son." ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and said, "What's the difference?" ”

Han Yi was stunned and said, "Does Your Majesty think that there is no difference between a monarch and a father and son?" ”

Li Zhi's eyes have already breathed fire, you kid is becoming more and more arrogant, and you dare to ridicule me.

Han Yi immediately said seriously: "Your Majesty, as a monarch, naturally has to put the country first, not human nature, if you look at this matter with human nature, then Xu Jingzong should not be punished, after all, Xu Jingzong is Your Majesty, he only harms the interests of the country, not Your Majesty's personal interests." For example, this micro-minister goes to the Qinglou, everyone regards it as human nature, and a few men don't go up to the Qinglou, but if Your Majesty you go to the Qinglou, I'm afraid it will cause an uproar. ”

You really can't open a pot! Li Zhi said hatefully: "Shang Shuling seems to mean something else!" ”

Han Yi sneered: "The minister is just an analogy, he didn't point to it, he didn't point to it." ”

Li Zhi glared at him, knowing that he couldn't pretend anymore, this kid was too ruthless, he magnified his moves as soon as he came up, and next time he had to ask Li Ji, he coughed lightly and said, "Since you all agree with the prince's suggestion, then do it." In addition, since this suggestion was made by the prince, I plan to let the prince study with you. ”

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned.

Han Yi and Li Ji immediately stood up and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Li Zhi glanced at Han Yi with a smile.

In doing so, Li Zhi actually wants to release two very important messages.

First, now that Wu Meiniang's power has been cleared, it is obvious that Wu Meiniang has been beaten into the cold palace, so everyone will inevitably think that the prince is still so unshakable, if so, then opportunism is full of the court. Li Zhi hurriedly showed his attitude, and this is an excellent opportunity to show grace to his subjects, Li Zhi was so angry that he wanted to kill, if Li Hong came out to stop it at this time, it could highlight Li Hong's benevolent character, the ministers are all emperors who like to be kind-hearted, Li Zhi said so on purpose, he has already made a decision in his heart, and he is just paving the way for Li Hong.

Second, in this situation, Wu Meiniang can no longer be used, but who should her power be handed over? Why did Wu Meiniang take power at the beginning, isn't it that Li Zhi is not in good health, he can't handle so many government affairs, and he needs someone to help Li Zhi share it, this is an objective factor, if Li Zhi's dragon is fierce, it is impossible for Wu Meiniang to interfere in the outer court, Li Zhi's obsession with power is no less than Wu Meiniang, otherwise, the eldest grandson Wuji has already been coaxed like that, and he still can't tolerate the eldest grandson Wuji.

Li Zhi was also facing a dilemma, according to the current situation, this power should be handed over to Han Yi, the prime minister, but don't say whether Li Zhi himself is willing or not, Han Yi is not rare, Shang Shu Zuo Servant doesn't want to shoot him, and Li Zhi himself will not be willing, how long has the eldest grandson Wuji been dead, how dare he delegate power to the prime minister, then Li Hong's appearance will solve this problem perfectly.

In fact, Li Zhi initially handed over the power to Wu Meiniang, also for Li Hong, after all, Wu Meiniang is Li Hong's mother, isn't everything from parents left to the child, although it is a mother and son, but the two are completely different, Wu Meiniang's surname is Wu, Li Hong's surname is Li, and Li Hong participates in government affairs, which is justifiable.

As for saying that Wu Meiniang finally became the emperor, it was caused by Li Zhi, it was all hindsight, how did Li Zhi know that this would be the case, Empress Lu did not claim the title of emperor, and everyone would believe in their own family, not outsiders.

Of course, Li Zhi finally adopted Han Yi's suggestion and let Li Hong learn from it first, rather than going into battle himself, but this signal is very important.

The ministers also reacted, hurriedly stood up, and said in unison: "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Sure enough, because of Li Hong's suggestion, Li Zhi withdrew his decision to behead Li Yifu, but in fact, if you settle the account, there are not a few people left in Li Yifu's family, because his family is involved in corruption, that is, his youngest son Li Zhan and one of his daughters did not participate, and the rest participated.

But this is good news for other people, even Li Yifu's family can be forgiven, let alone others. Moreover, the trial of this case was Di Renjie and Changsun Yan, Changsun Yan paid the most attention to the law, and their standard was that anyone who was not involved in the case would be exempt from punishment, and the slaves in their family, if they did not do anything wrong, were all returned to the good and given the status of a good person.

This has never been done before.

It was precisely because of one of Li Hong's suggestions that a large number of people were exempt from being implicated, including many officials.

Can these people not be grateful to Li Hong, the ministers of the court and the central government are also very supportive of Li Hong, and they also know what Li Zhi means, that is, although the queen has been beaten into the cold palace, the status of the prince is very stable, don't think too much about it, just assist the prince wholeheartedly, don't worry about other princes.

PS: It's another 5,000-word chapter, and a total of 13,000 words have been posted, which is counted as a chapter of 3,000 words, which is equivalent to four chapters... More than that, believe it or not, I'm really tired and paralyzed, if I only send one chapter tomorrow, you are not allowed to buy blades, and it is good to use this money to smash me, after all, you don't know my address, and blades can't poke the screen.
