Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 637
"Where is Prince Sizhi?"

"Prince Sizhi Liu Ji is here, and Prince Sizhi Gao Jifu is here!"

Two officials in scarlet robes came out and answered loudly.

Qin Lang looked at the two middle-aged officials and asked, "You two are the Crown Prince Sizhi and the Yushitai Yushi doctor. Your job is to impeach and suppress the bureaucrats. Don't you have anything to say about today's matter? ?”

In his early years, Liu Jie served Jiangling Xiao Xian as his servant of the Huang family. After returning to the Tang Dynasty, he served as the governor of Nankang Prefecture. After entering the court, he was appreciated by Li Shimin. Straight.

Gao Jifu was born in the Gao family in Bohai. After a famous family, thousands of people from his hometown joined Wagang Li Mi at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and later returned to the Tang Dynasty with Liu Dewei and Jia Runfu. He was awarded the supervisory censor, who was named after several ministers who were not afraid of power, and moved to Zhongshusheren.

One is for Shizhong, and the other is for Zhongshusheren. These two are important positions in Menxia Province and Zhongshushe.Zhongshu Sheren is on the fifth grade, often attends to play, participates in the table and chapters, and the six Sheren are five-flower judges.As for the four people in the sect, they are also the top five grades. They are divided into the daily affairs of the province, and they are specifically responsible for deliberating the seal and refutation of the imperial edict.In the memorial of Baisi, it is necessary to refute its right and wrong, and the matter is very important.

Two Zhongshu and five-rank officials from the two provinces under the sect came to the East Palace to work part-time as the seventh-rank prince Sizhi. , what they value is their ability and integrity.

When Gao Jifu was the supervisory censor, even the prime minister dared to impeach him, and Liu Jie served as the official secretary and censor before he was in charge, and he also put forward many powerful remonstrances against the current political chaos.

Dressed in crimson robes and silver charms, the two of them are very dazzling.

Gao Jifu didn't expect Qin Lang to be so angry today, he is Zhongshu Sheren and Prince Sizhi, and the leader of today's disturbance is Prince Zuo Shuzi Yu Zhining, and Yu Zhining also has an official position as Zhongshu Minister.

The Minister of Zhongshu on the fourth rank is also the prince Zuo Shuzi on the fourth rank. In fact, he is also a high-profile match. After all, although the minister of Zhongshu has two members, he is already the core of the center, and the next step is the prime minister.

Gao Jifu was in Zhongshu Province, but it was under the leadership of Yu Zhining.

"This subordinate is in the Ministry of Education with Yu Gong, and as a subordinate, I request to avoid suspicion." Gao Jifu finally refused to stand up to impeach Yu Zhining.

Qin Lang sneered twice.

"Uncle Liu?"

Liu Ji was born in the Nanyang Liu family, and was also from a famous gentry family, but he had always been at odds with the Guanlong Group like Yu Zhining, and he did not flinch from Qin Lang's aggressiveness.

"Prince, Qin Xiang, now that meritorious officials and relatives occupy important positions, they can't be competent, and rely on meritorious power to fight against each other. Officials in office can't insist on justice. Although they want to strive for self-improvement, they are afraid of being slandered by gossip."

"Therefore, matters that should have been adjudicated by the officials of the East Palace have to be reported to the three provinces and the Zhengshitang. Officials such as the officials of the Fufang Temple in the East Palace are also ambiguous and cannot make decisions. Some of them follow the prince's intentions and ignore the actual situation. Acting by guessing what the emperor thinks, there are also people who do not uphold justice in order to avoid suspicion."

"Some think that everything will be fine if you obey the prince, and don't go into whether the conclusion is correct. Some think that flattering His Majesty is serving the public, regardless of whether his actions are appropriate or not."

No one expected that after Liu Ji was named to speak, there was a map bomb, pointing at Sang and Huai, not only scolding Yu Zhining, Chu Suiliang, Zhang Xuansu and others, but only obeying the emperor's will, even saying that they speculated on the holy will, and saying that Kong Yingda Lu Deming Such as scholars and Confucians are just blindly old-fashioned dogmas, and they also say that relatives like Qin Lang only know how to outshine their colleagues based on their meritorious deeds.

They even said that Donggong generals like Su Dingfang only knew how to please the prince.

In short, he scolded everyone once.

In the end, he also said that although the East Palace team is fully equipped, many officials are part-timers and don't spend much thought and time in the East Palace, resulting in the situation of vegetarian meals, including himself.

"Mr. Liu is indeed fair, so may I ask, do you have any good suggestions?" Qin Lang was scolded, but instead of getting angry, he asked him with a smile.

Liu Jie crossed his hands, "I suggest that the allocation of officials in the East Palace, except that the prince's three masters, three young masters and four guests can choose to teach the prince with the titles of ministers and assistants in the court, the rest of the officials should not abuse part-time jobs, otherwise it will be difficult to concentrate East Palace affairs. There is a part-time job, either stay in the East Palace, or remove the part-time job in the East Palace."

"Very good, what Mr. Liu said is honest and fair. The crown prince Zuo concubine, Yu Zhining and Du Zhenglun, both of you are well-educated people, and you are also descendants of famous families. One was born in the Eight Pillar Kingdom and the other was born in the Jingzhao Du family. Yu Gong's great-grandfather was You are one of the Eight Pillar Kingdoms, and Du Gong, you are not only from a famous family, but also in the Sui Dynasty, you and your brothers Zhengxuan and Zhengzang passed the examination as a scholar, and you have three scholars in one school, how dazzling you were at that time?"

The Xiucai department in the Sui Dynasty was not a regular department. When the Xiucai department was opened, there were very few scholars. In the same subject, it turned out to be the same as taking the No. [-] pick.

When Du Zhenglun entered the Tang Dynasty, he successively served as a recorder in the Qizhou General Manager's Office and joined the army.

As a fourth-rank official, Du Zhenglun was specially bestowed by the emperor with a purple robe and gold belt, which is very dazzling.

He faced Qin Lang's intimidation, but he was not afraid.

He said loudly, "The crown prince has been the foundation of the country since ancient times, so His Majesty chooses moral people to assist him. Now that the crown prince is young, his ambitions and thoughts have not yet been determined. If I can see him sooner or later, of course I must warn him anytime and anywhere. constraint."

Qin Lang snorted.

"Mr. Du, you have such an important position in the imperial court as the Minister of Zhongshu. Your Majesty asked you to concurrently serve as the Zuo Shuzi, and Yu Gong concurrently served as the other Zuo Shuzi. He was in charge of the important Zuochunfang in the East Palace. However, the two of you originally had heavy duties. How can you have the time and energy to come to the East Palace? You two don't know much about the East Palace and the Crown Prince at all, and you only know how to blindly remonstrate, which is a serious dereliction of duty."

Yu Zhining couldn't listen anymore, got up and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is young and playful, it's just a trivial matter, but he is so fond of villains that he doesn't have a good reputation. It is inexplicable and unreasonable to hold those of us who persuade and teach the prince to be responsible for the righteous way!"

Kong Yingda, the concubine on the right, also stood up and fought back.

"His Royal Highness, just because he is young, should learn literature to decorate his appearance. You should not ride and shoot for several times, play songs and play, please your ears and eyes, and defile your mind! I have tried my best to persuade and teach, but I don't understand why Zhan Shi still treats me like this!" Get angry?" As the Imperial College Jijiu and Prince You Shuzi, Kong Yingda is also a direct descendant of Confucius, and was originally a representative of the scholars and Confucian officials in the Eastern Palace.

Qin Lang saw that these people wanted to attack together, but he was not afraid.

He snorted twice.

"Everyone here, you are not born in a powerful family, or you are also famous and talented for a while. Why do you want to attack together today? This is the Chongxian Hall, and His Royal Highness is here to discuss matters with you. Don't you even understand the rules? What else? Are you qualified to preach and accuse here?"

"Sit down for me, one by one."

"Prince Sizhi Liu Ji and Gao Jifu, you two are responsible for the discipline and etiquette in the hall."

Hearing the words, Liu Gao hesitated for a while, but they still stood up, one stood in front of the hall and the other stood in the back of the hall, they were responsible for supervising the discipline in the hall, and if anyone spoke indiscriminately, they had to write down their names.

The hall finally fell silent again.

Qin Lang stood up and glanced at the crowd of purples, scarlets and greens, "Your Excellencies, the prince on the left is young, and the one on the right is playing, but I, Qin Lang, only know that His Royal Highness, who is less than 13 years old this year, has been the prince for five years. Yes, and he was in prison for two years, and his performance can be said to be remarkable."

"Under the leadership of His Highness the Crown Prince, the East Palace has not only perfectly fulfilled the important task of supervising the country for two years given by His Majesty in the past two years, but also under the leadership of the Crown Prince, the East Palace has managed Chang'an and Guanlong very well in the past two years, Your Highness. Known for being benevolent, virtuous and virtuous, even when I was in Longyou, the Dangxiang Qiang, Zahu, and Tuyuhun people there, who were thousands of miles away in the wild and barren land, all knew that the prince of the Tang Dynasty was virtuous. Incomparable."

"Not to mention that if you casually ask the people in Chang'an City, or traders, or visit the suburbs casually, they will tell you that today's son is Shengming, the prince is virtuous, and the name of the virtuous prince is unanimously evaluated."

"The prince is well-known for being a virtuous man. He has introduced many virtuous policies and implemented many policies of benevolence. There are far away plans to help poor households, and recently there are trilogy and tenant naturalization policies. For several years, the prince has been using the money and grain of the East Palace to distribute money and food in the world. In various places, the corpses and bones exposed in the wilderness that no one has restrained since the Sui Rebellion were buried."

"There is also a prince who gave gold and silk money to redeem wives and children for those who sold their children and pawned their wives, and gave food and cloth to relieve the hungry people. Valhalla, building orphanages, nursing homes, even affordable medicine halls, and cemeteries, etc.”

"Excuse me, can't you all see and hear these?"

"Isn't this enough?"

"Why do the bearded people far away in the wilderness know that there is a young and virtuous prince in the Tang Dynasty, but in the eyes of you people, the prince is young and ignorant, fond of playing, unwilling to read and only likes to ride and shoot You Wan, or even a person who likes to make friends with villains?"

"Let me ask, what are your intentions?"

"Are you trying to destroy the most virtuous prince in history for hundreds of years?"

"Are you guys trying to conspire to slander the prince, or even overthrow Datang?"

Qin Lang asked questions one after another, louder and louder, and more ruthless than each knife.

All the officials of the Eastern Palace who were full of momentum just now, especially Yu Zhining and others, all began to look pale.

This is where Qin Lang's confidence lies. He has helped Chengqian earn a lot of money over the years, and the money has not allowed Chengqian to mold and rust in the ground, but has done a lot of things.

In recent years, Chengqian has been throwing money like a boy who spreads money.

From the very beginning of the poverty alleviation plan, money was thrown everywhere, to help orphans and widows, to provide for the orphans of martyrs, to build libraries, reading rooms, and rural elementary schools, etc., the money has been thrown out continuously, and the effect is still obvious.

At least now outside, Chengqian's reputation is indeed excellent.

This is Qin Lang's confidence. No matter how disobedient and rebellious Cheng Qian was in the eyes of Yu Zhining and others in the past two years, Cheng Qian already had a body armor that he helped weave.

"Yu Zhining, answer me!"

"Du Zhenglun, answer me!"

"Zhang Xuansu, answer me!"

"Kong Yingda, answer me!"

"Chu Suiliang, answer me!"

······
In the Chongxian Hall, a group of purple concubines were all speechless.
