    Cui Jing turned his head and looked around, nodding secretly in his heart.

    This man's surname was Zhao, with a single surname. He was born among common people. He attracted Chai Shao's attention because of his outstanding performance in the imperial examination. After he took refuge in Chai Shao, he rose through the ranks and was now a minister of Zuo Jianyi in the province.  It is said that in the Tang Dynasty, the mission of admonition was shared by Menxia Sheng and Zhongshu Sheng.  There are four ministers and several assistants in the province under the door. There are also four officials from the left to advise, and four from the left to serve as regular attendants.  In the Zhongshu Province, there are four right-hand admonition officials and four right-hand cavalry attendants, all of whom are responsible for finding fault with the emperor.

    The reckoning has begun.

    "Zhao Qing's family, please speak up if you have anything to say." Li Er said calmly.

    Zhao Yan saluted Li Er and said shockingly: "I want to impeach the emperor for improper employment."

    Li Er¡¯s expression changed, but he soon became calm. A smile appeared on his face and he said, ¡°Who should I use?¡±

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away from Wei Heizi, Li Er is a little immune to these admonitions. No one is a saint, how can he be right?  To be a famous king, you have to endure your thirst if you want to eat salted fish. Although he is a little unhappy in his heart, on the surface, Li Er still has an open-minded smile.

    Zhao Yan said seriously: "Your Majesty is biased towards Wang Zhe, the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Wang Shangshu has a weak talent but a high position, a powerful but low-ranking person. He holds an important position and favors nepotism. This is the worm of our Tang Dynasty."

    Wang Zhe's head suddenly exploded. He thought that the nobles would look good on him. Unexpectedly, this retribution would come so quickly. What surprised him most was that the people who fired at him were not the nobles headed by the Cui family of Qinghe.  It was Dr. Zhao who was a member of the imperial family and a relative of the country.

    This is a sign that they are joining forces to kill themselves?

    Not only Wang Zhe was surprised, but Li Er and many officials in the court who did not know the truth were shocked when they heard the uproar. They openly remonstrated with the emperor Li Er, but secretly pointed the finger at Wang Zhe, the official minister.

    Just when many people were confused, another voice in the court rang: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching Wang Zhongji, the governor of Weizhou. He does not seek political power in his position. Not only is he corrupt and perverting the law, but he is also squandering wantonly, causing the national treasury to be drained."  , the local people dare not speak out, this matter has aroused the anger of the local people, but the matter is serious, I am impeaching the emperor."

    The person who was impeached this time was Zhang Shiqiu, the censor Zhongcheng of Yushitai. He was from a noble family and was erudite and talented.  Alert and careful, although Zhang can only be regarded as average among the nobles, his reputation is very great among the nobles. Cui Shang named him as the main attacker for this "overthrow of the king" operation.

    The admonishment officer only finds fault with the emperor, but it is the job of the Yushitai to monitor the words and deeds of officials all over the world.  Zhao Yan cannot exceed his authority in this matter.

    The people present finally understood that Zhao Yan's attack on Wang Zhe, the Minister of Civil Affairs, was just a prelude to draw out Wang Zhongji, who was serving as the governor of Weizhou under the Wang family of Taiyuan. Even if Wang Zhe defended Wang Zhe's children, it would be a prelude.  To protect him, everything he said would be pale and feeble at that time, but Wang Zhe, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was standing at the forefront.  Finally he understood the gentry's revenge on him: to cut off a piece of fat Weizhou in their hands, and a talent that the Taiyuan Wang family had worked hard to cultivate also fell in this blow.

    How much money and energy does it cost to train a child to be a talented person who can stand alone? This Wang Zhongji is the key training target of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and Wang Zhe has spent unparalleled efforts on him.  But now that two forces are trying to bring him down, he is not willing to give up easily. Although there is little hope, he still stands up and fights for the children of the clan.

    "Absurd. In ancient times, when a virtuous person was promoted, he did not avoid his relatives. Wang Zhongji, the governor of Weizhou, was a loyal man, diligent and caring for the people. During his tenure as the governor of Weizhou, all walks of life in Weizhou were prosperous. The people lived and worked in peace and contentment. They did not pick up things on the road and did not close their homes at night. How could they complain? The Tang Dynasty  There are more than 300 state capitals. In terms of political achievements, the governor of Weizhou ranks at the forefront. Although Wang Ji is an in-law of the Wang family, the fact is here. Wang is judged by things. As far as his character is concerned, it is definitely  It's a false accusation, please take a closer look," Wang Zhe said with a serious face.

    No wonder Zhao Yan suddenly changed his stance. Now he knew in his heart that the noble clan and Chai Fuji had reached an agreement, and the sudden conclusion of this agreement was at the expense of the interests of the Wang family in Taiyuan. How could he be willing to accept this?  This is to push the Taiyuan Wang family to death.

    Li Er's expression didn't change much. For him, everything was as expected. If it were him, he would naturally deal with the traitors as soon as he had the opportunity. And this time, he would not only deal with the Weizhou governor, but also the officials.  Shang Shu Wang Zhe also pulled up, so many people started to mobilize together. Needless to say, with the prudence of the nobles, a perfect plan was naturally made. However, if Wang Zhe also fell, then which nobles would dare to get closer to him in the future  

    "Zhang Aiqing, you are impeaching the governor of a state. Your words are unfounded. Do you have any evidence in your hand?"

    "Yes." Zhang Shiqiu took out a box and put it in front of him, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, someone knew about it and was afraid that the Wang family would become powerful and retaliate, so he secretly placed it in the box.I was picked up by a servant in front of my palace and handed over to me. At that time, I couldn¡¯t believe that such a promising person could actually undermine himself. I sent someone to verify it secretly and found that it was not false, so I immediately reported it to the emperor.  Impeachment, please see the emperor clearly.  "

    "Come here, bring the evidence." Li Er ordered, and the eunuch who was responsible for the ceremony took the evidence and presented it to the superior Li Er.

    Cui Shang and Chai Shao, who were standing in the front row, looked at each other. Both of them showed an imperceptible smile, and then looked away as if they had a tacit understanding. At this moment, Wang Zhe, who had been staring at Cui Shang, saw in his eyes  , his face was so angry that he was trembling all over, but he had nothing to say.

    One wrong move and everything is at stake. Who can tell you that your position is not firm?  Since the emperor compromised, it was naturally tantamount to indirectly betraying himself.

    Hateful.

    "Show this evidence to Wang Shangshu." Li Er finished flipping through it, his face expressionless, and asked the eunuch to hand it over directly to Wang Zhe for inspection, which was also a way of giving him face.

    Soon, the box containing the evidence was handed over to Wang Zhe, the Minister of Civil Affairs. When he opened it, he found that the evidence was quite comprehensive. There were informants, supervisory records from the Yushitai, and witness testimonies and other items.  , Wang Zhe was speechless when he saw what he had committed. It was nothing more than finding a position for the younger members of the clan and secretly setting up some land and shops. This was not a big deal in being an official. By the way, as for the wanton waste  , One meal actually cost twenty gold pieces of government silver.

    It¡¯s only twenty gold, what¡¯s the point?  Those royal relatives in Chang'an spent more than twenty gold a day. This is obviously nitpicking.  Anyone who is an official knows that if you want money, just reach out and ask for it. Don't touch the money in the house. This way it can be easily verified. As long as the money in the house is not taken from home.  It doesn't matter how you spend it, but this matter has become one of the reasons for impeachment.

    "But unspoken rules are unspoken rules. If you don't tell each other, it will be fine. Once it is exposed to the public eye.  Then it is untenable. The world belongs to the emperor. You only govern it for him and cannot act arbitrarily. Right is right and wrong is wrong. There is no need to investigate.  Wang Zhe also knew that these evidences were true and not false, because he had arranged for Wang Zhongji to enter two of them under the order of the clan leader.

    Wang Zhe looked far away, and the eunuch took it away again and handed it to the civil and military officials on the side to watch.

    Li Er looked at Wang Zhe, who had a complicated expression, and suddenly asked: "Wang Shangshu. What can you say? I remember that you recommended the governor of Weizhou, right?"

    What does it mean?

    Official affairs can be big or small, it all depends on the wishes of those in power.  Sometimes those in power can turn big things into small things and small things into nothing with just one word, and when necessary.  A small thing, after fermentation and expansion, will become a big thing. After listening to Li Er's words, Wang Zhe was shocked. Li Er couldn't help but wanted to talk to him. In order to compromise and show goodwill to the nobles,  Are you planning to uproot the Wang family in Taiyuan?

    Wang Zhe was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said with a worried look on his face: "Your Majesty, King Zhongji was indeed recommended by my ministers. Although there are some small mistakes, the flaws are not covered up. Since he took office as the governor, he has dug canals to run schools and built roads.  By repairing the bridge, the government of Weizhou will be harmonious and the people will live and work in peace and contentment. There is no merit but hard work. Please give him a chance to redeem his merits. "

    Before Li Er could speak, the upright and sinister Wei Heizi suddenly stood up and loudly admonished: "Your Majesty, a mistake is a mistake, merit must be rewarded, and mistakes must be punished. If this person is not punished, this person will not be punished."  At that moment, the officials of the Tang Dynasty were all lucky, and the official style would become corrupted and morals would be ruined. Now all the businesses in the Tang Dynasty were waiting for prosperity. Even the emperor set an example, practiced strict economy, greatly reduced the expenses of the palace, and the Wei Dynasty  The governor of the state eats more than twenty gold in one meal. All the food he eats is the fat of the people. This person must not be spared lightly."

    After saying that, Wei Heizi remonstrated with a serious face: "Your Majesty, the governor of Weizhou must not be lenient. Even the person recommended by Wang Shangshu must be held accountable."

    The most outstanding thing about Wei Zheng is that he does not use force and dares to speak out. When encountering such a thing, he naturally stands up and does not mind being a "sword" in the hands of others. In fact, he does not belong to any camp.  I don't know about their internal fighting and plans, they just remonstrated with "righteousness".

    Wang Zhe's face turned pale and he scolded Wei Heizi half to death in his heart. Cui Shang, Cui Jing, Chai Shao and others did not expect Wei Heizi to help them like this. They were so happy that they wanted to kiss that big black face.

    "Exactly, if you work hard and do whatever you want based on merit, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

    "The emperor has great achievements and is capable of self-discipline. Do the little governors of Weizhou still want to have privileges?"

    "Heavy punishment, heavy punishment."

    Sure enough, as soon as Wei Heizi fired, the admonishing officials were afraid that no one would take their existence seriously, so they all stood up and accused loudly. For a moment, the crowd was furious. Those officials of Prince Zhe wanted to intercede on his behalf. Seeing thatAt this scene, everyone retreated and stopped speaking, and Wang Zhe's face turned even paler.

    "Stop" Li Er was dissatisfied and shouted loudly: "This is the court, not Caishikou."

    Only then did the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs stop.

    Li Er glanced at the officials with a majestic look, looked at Wang Zhe, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, who looked frustrated, and then said: "Wang Zhongji, the governor of Weizhou, handed it over to Dali Temple. The minister of Dali Temple, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and  The Minister of Finance and the Censor Zhongcheng jointly reviewed the three departments, but Wang Zhe, the Minister of Civil Affairs, recommended the person improperly. It was not a big mistake to think of Wang Zhongji. However, since Wang Zhe took office, he was conscientious and dealt with it lightly, and deducted his salary for three months as a warning.
