    Wang Yuanyan's wife, Yan Tingzhi's ex-wife, came straight to Yan's Mansion after leaving the prison in Jingzhao Mansion.  The disciples of the Yan Mansion used to call Mrs. Wang when they met her. Now, although Ms. Wang has become someone else's wife, no one can be sure whether she and her family have some "stories that they have to tell".  ¡±, so he let Wang into the house without much obstruction.  Yan Tingzhi, who had just gone to court, suddenly saw his ex-wife barging in blankly. He was shocked at that time.  "Why did Mrs. Wang suddenly appear in my house?!" Yan Tingzhi stood up quickly and asked with a surprised look on his face.  Mrs. Wang came here to ask for Yan Tingzhi. Naturally, she couldn't act like a third-class lady, so her eyes turned red when she saw Yan Tingzhi, as if Yan Tingzhi owed him something.  "Sir, something bad has happened. This time you must take care of our long-standing relationship as husband and wife!" Mrs. Wang didn't care that she was in Yan's Mansion at this time. She actually sat on the ground like a pear blossom with rain and howled.  When she burst into tears, her voice was really poignant and graceful, like an oriole's cry at night.  Yan Tingzhi was a man with a short temper and a straightforward personality. He hated to see a woman cry in front of him, and he didn't want to have bad associations with everyone in the house, especially his current wife. So he hurriedly stopped Mr. Wang and said, "Talk about something if you have something to say."  , I didn¡¯t say I won¡¯t help you! If you cry again, I will hide in the backyard and not see you!¡± After all, Wang and Yan Tingzhi have lived together for many years, and she has already figured out Lao Yan¡¯s temperament.  Seeing Yan Tingzhi's actions and words.  Then he felt confident, so he told Wang Yuanyan that he had committed embezzlement, and then begged Yan Tingzhi to rescue Wang Yuanyan.  Yan Tingzhi felt very embarrassed after hearing Wang's plea and explanation. He couldn't make up his mind for a moment, and just sat there with a frown on his face and said nothing.  At this moment, Yan Tingzhi's current wife came to the hall from the back hall, carefully asked Wang's purpose, and then helped Wang and said: "Why are you so embarrassed, husband? Governor Wang made a small mistake accidentally.  , It's not a heinous crime. Why don't you come forward to help him move around? Why do you have to be so hard-hearted?" Yan Tingzhi finally sighed helplessly under the pressure of the two ladies.  He took a breath, and then said: "Forget it, forget it! This time I will go against my will and do something. Who told you and I to be husband and wife." After this day.  Yan Tingzhi took advantage of his connections inside and outside the court.  Be active on behalf of Wang Yuanyan.  Because he felt that this matter was a bit embarrassing, Yan Tingzhi was too embarrassed to alarm his old boss Zhang Jiuling, and he was too embarrassed to ask the iron-faced censor Zhou for help.  Just enough to avoid getting these two people involved.  At this time, the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty was already very corrupt. Officials giving gifts to each other and even buying and selling officials could be seen everywhere.  Yan Tingzhi prepared a great courtesy and privately visited the relevant officials responsible for trying Wang Yuanyan's embezzlement case one by one, asking them to think of their own face and try to alleviate some of Wang Yuanyan's crimes, and it would be best not to demote him.  These gifts given by Yan Tingzhi were not the result of his corruption since he became the Minister of Household Affairs, but the filial piety given by his "good nephew" Zhou Chengye during the holidays.  Lao Yan also knew that Erlang of the Zhou family was now extremely wealthy, so there was no need to be polite and he accepted the order every time.  After all, in the eyes of Zhang Jiuling, Yan Tingzhi, Wang Wei and other officials who were strict with integrity, the Zhou family's money was all earned from business and was not dirty money, so they felt very at ease when using it.  Living in the dirty officialdom of the Tang Dynasty, even if you are a clean figure, you still have to support dozens or even hundreds of people in the family, right?  Since Tuesday has his heart and there is no problem with the source of the money, why should he be polite?  Yan Tingzhi's face was indeed valuable, and the gifts he sent were also valid. It didn't take long for some interrogation records that had already been recorded to be secretly tampered with. Those sentences that could easily lead to Wang Yuanyan's demotion turned out to be  Disappeared However, from the moment Wang came out of prison to see Yan Tingzhi, the Yan Mansion was closely watched.  Nowadays, Luo Xishi has much more power than when he was the prison chief in Luoyang Prison. In addition, without the secret control of Tuesday's men, he acts more ruthlessly and insidiously, sending people to follow Yan Tingzhi.  This kind of unprepared official is not difficult for the hyena Luo Xishu.  All Yan Tingzhi¡¯s words and deeds were detected by Luo Xixi, and then immediately reported to Li Linfu.  When Wang Yuanyan's case was about to be concluded, the Yushitai suddenly presented a memorial to the emperor. After Li Longji read it, his face immediately darkened.  It turns out that this memorial was to impeach Yan Tingzhi, the minister of household affairs, saying that he took advantage of his position to secretly intercede and excuse the corrupt official Wang Yuanyan, and even bribed three people in private.?Official!  Li Longji is not a petty emperor, and he can tolerate some shortcomings of his ministers, but what he hates most in his life is that others do one thing in front of him and then do another thing secretly.  In the past, Yan Tingzhi always appeared as an upright and selfless person in front of Li Longji and the courtiers, and Yan Tingzhi's previous experience as an official also proved that he was not a fake Taoist or pretending to be aloof. However, this time he went privately to get away with Wang Yuanyan's crime.  He even used his own money to bribe officials, which shocked the emperor and the ministers of the court.  After Li Longji read the memorial from the Yushitai, he immediately called Zhou Ziliang over, and then asked Wang Yuanyan face to face about the embezzlement case.  Zhou Ziliang had not intervened in this matter before and had no private dealings with Yan Tingzhi, so he answered simply. He only said that he had heard other colleagues at Yushitai talking about this matter, but because of the different division of responsibilities, he did not  Know the progress of the case trial.  Li Longji asked Zhou Ziliang if Yan Tingzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs, had come to see him recently. Lao Zhou thought about it seriously and replied that he had not seen Yan Tingzhi in private for about half a month and did not know about him.  What are you busy with?  Li San was quite satisfied with Zhou Ziliang's answer.  As long as Zhou Ziliang did not get involved in this matter, Li Longji had nothing to embarrass, and he was ready to give Yan Tingzhi a good beating this time.  After Zhou Ziliang left, Li Longji asked Gao Lishi to go to the political hall to call over the three prime ministers Zhang Jiuling, Pei Yaoqing and Li Linfu. Then he held the memorial from the imperial censor's desk and said: "You three beloved ministers can take a closer look at this memorial."  , I really didn¡¯t expect that Yan Tingzhi, the Minister of Household Affairs, turned out to be an official with different appearances. He usually showed himself to be upright and selfless. This time, he bribed officials because of personal affairs. He had already committed a crime.  Exculpate the guilty officials!" After hearing the emperor's words, the three prime ministers looked at each other in surprise.  Li Linfu's surprise was faked, because this memorial from Yushitai was secretly instructed by him, and he knew everything about Yan Tingzhi and Wang Yuanyan from beginning to end.  Zhang Jiuling's surprise was also faked, because just when Gao Lishi came to the political hall to invite several prime ministers to the imperial study room, the first one Lao Gao saw was Zhang Jiuling.  Gao Lishi knew that Zhang Jiuling had a close relationship with Yan Tingzhi, and he was worried that Zhang Jiuling would say good things for Yan Tingzhi without knowing it, and would get himself involved instead, so he revealed everything about Li Longji's summons to Zhou Ziliang.  To Zhang Jiuling.  Pei Yaoqing's surprise was genuine. This good old man usually had a good relationship with Yan Tingzhi, so he quickly said a good word for Yan Tingzhi: "I think what Yan Shilang did this time is indeed inappropriate. It not only damages the reputation of the court officials  His image also failed to live up to His Majesty's ardent expectations for him. But how can one be ruthless in life? Yan Tingzhi was confused this time, but it also proved that he was a compassionate and righteous person. Your Majesty can give him a serious lecture.  He can't do things so casually in the future!" After hearing what Pei Yaoqing said, Li Longji was still very angry, but he also felt that it made sense.  Although Yan Tingzhi made a mistake, it was not a big mistake that was unforgivable and unforgivable. If he seemed to care too much, it would make him care a little.  "Zhang Qing, what do you think of Yan Tingzhi?" Li Longji said.  With Gao Lishi's reminder, Zhang Jiuling already knew Li Longji's dissatisfaction with Yan Tingzhi, so he did not directly excuse Yan Tingzhi. Instead, he blamed himself and said: "It's all the humble ministers who failed to set a good example and treated Yan Tingzhi on weekdays."  The minister lacked reminders and admonitions, which made him fail to control himself at the critical moment, so that he did stupid things and failed the emperor's cultivation of him! " Zhang Jiuling's attitude was somewhat contrary to the emperor and Li Linfu!  It was expected that the key was that he did not judge the rights and wrongs of others, but took the initiative to take the blame on himself. On the contrary, the emperor could not bear to accuse him of unclear recommendations.  Li Longji asked Li Linfu again: "Li Qing, what do you think about this matter?" Now Li Linfu no longer cares about the attitudes of Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing as he did when he first became prime minister. He said loudly: "I think that Wang Yuanyan's crime of corruption is evidence  It is true that in order to warn all officials, Yan Tingzhi, as a minister of the court, tried to exonerate Wang Yuanyan even though he knew he was guilty. He knew that he violated the law and should be severely punished." After hearing what Li Linfu said, what did Li Longji feel?  According to his own wishes, he said without hesitation: "I have told the ministers many times before that I am not Emperor Taizong. I do not have the magnanimity that he can tolerate, and I will never forgive my ministers who have made mistakes. This Wang Yuanyan entered  After being imprisoned for not being honest, he was dismissed from office and exiled to Lingnan! Yan Tingzhi violated the law and was dismissed from his posts as Shangshu Zuocheng and Hubu Shilang, and was demoted to Mingzhou Governor!" The three prime ministers saw that the emperor had made up his mind.  I don¡¯t dare to give any more advice.??, so he bowed and resigned.  A few days later, the imperial court issued a decree, and Zhang Jiuling and Pei Yaoqing left the political affairs hall. Li Linfu took the post of Zhongshuling, and Niu Xianke and Chen Xilie ascended to the high position of prime minister of the Tang Dynasty!
