Chastity Layman 2

Chapter 740

Changsun Wuji went out for gilding, but he missed it. He won't be back for a while, at least he will have to subdue those Khans, Yehu, kings, and Lifa in the Western Regions before returning.

Hou Junji, who picked up a big bargain, was on his way back to Chang'an.

Coming out of Wei Guogong's mansion, just arrived home, but the crown prince Chengqian came to visit.

"Han Zhongliang please resign!"

As soon as Han Zhongliang came to the stage, he made a big news and successfully dismissed Qin Lang, but he never expected that the group of talkatives in Yushitai didn't have many fuel-efficient lamps, so they quickly borrowed Li The Xuandao impeachment case forced Han Zhongliang to be untenable, so he voluntarily resigned.

Qin Lang looked at Cheng Qian, a black beard had grown on his mouth, his voice had completely changed now, the prince had completely become a man.

"Who will take over?"

"Originally, the father planned to let the eldest grandson Shunde or Liu Hongji choose one to take over, but who knew that both of them were involved in the corruption case. Now the saint is going to choose one of Li Ji and Zhang Liang."

After Qin Lang heard this, he was a little surprised. This Zhang Liang had just been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War, and he was going to Yushitai again?And Li Ji as the imperial historian?

He felt that there was something wrong with Chengqian's news.

Who is Zhang Liang, the emperor's loyal dog, he has the same nature as Hou Junji.And who are Changsun Shunde and Liu Hongji?The highly respected founding elders of the two dynasties, the top relatives, were killed by the emperor through the rebellion case of the clan king before, and they were rubbed on the ground for several years, and they were severely taught to be human.

Therefore, although the two recovered after that, they had already been kicked out of the power center. The two of them held positions in the local area, and they were both very low-key. Although the elder Sun Shunde's greed for money and lust has not changed much, at least it is no longer the same as before. , Dare to question the authority of the emperor casually, dare to express opinions on the decision-making of the center.

For such an important yamen as Yushitai, Qin Lang didn't think that Li Shimin would hand over the position to these two people.

Although Zhang Liang is the emperor's confidant, the Yamen of the Ministry of War is undoubtedly more important. This is the Yamen in charge of military affairs, and Li Shimin will not let it go easily.

As for Li Ji.

Speaking of Li Ji, there is something to be said. Of course, Li Ji's ability is not worth talking about, but it is also because of his strong ability, and the most important thing is that when he returned to Tang, he was different from Qin Qiong and others. People, either single-handedly or with some people to vote, but Li Ji was also called Xu Shiji back then, and he was originally one of the founders of Wagangzhai, who founded Wagang together with Zhai Rang and Shan Xiongxin.

Li Ji was originally a local tycoon. His family was the richest man in the local county, with thousands of servants and tens of thousands of acres of land. The people who are watching their own family are about to die.

Under Shan Xiongxin and Xu Shiji's strategy, especially Xu Shiji's strategy, they robbed the canal, recruited troops and bought horses, and the business was booming. Later, even Li Mi, who came after the Eight Pillars Kingdom, came to join him.

Under Li Mi's strategy, Wagang gradually became the largest force in the Central Plains. He planned to kill Zhang Xutuo, force Pei Renji to surrender, and got Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin, Luo Shixin and other powerful generals.

It was only later that Li Mi was defeated by Wang Shichong and went to Guanzhong to vote for Li Yuan. But even though Wagang was defeated at that time, there were still many people in the territory. Xu Shiji had a bad relationship with Li Mi at that time. It is also a strong soldier.

After Li Mi was defeated and fled, Xu Shiji stood firm in Liyang, gathered the defeated troops, and still controlled many territories.Later, Li Yuan sent Wei Zheng to recruit Xu Shiji, and also crowned their father king, and their brothers were all princes.But Xu Shiji was smart, so he refused to directly submit to Li Tang. Instead, he made a book of land and soldiers, sent it to Chang'an, and sent it to Li Mi, who asked Li Mi to present it to Li Yuan.

This trick was very good, and Li Yuan praised Xu Shiji's loyalty, but he also concealed his murderous intentions, and sent Li Mi, who was already a family dog, to his death.Originally, Li Mi had nothing, but when he arrived in Chang'an, he also married Li Yuan's relatives and conferred high grades. Even if he lost real power, at least he would not lose his wealth.

But when Xu Shiji came like this, he undoubtedly reminded Li Yuan that Li Mi still has many brothers and horses outside, and he also has powerful territories.

So Li Yuan rewarded Xu Shiji a lot, and Li Mi became more and more suspicious of Li Mi, and finally killed Li Mi with a trick of playing hard to get. He first sent Li Mi to Shandong to recruit the old troops, and then chased him back halfway. Li Mi was in Chang'an. what idea.

But this is far away from Chang'an, how can he be willing to go back to be a cold bench, he fantasizes about going back to Xu Shiji's place, there are still people in the territory, and he can make a comeback.

As a result, when he refused the order, he was immediately intercepted and killed by General Tang halfway.

Xu Shiji also used a knife to kill people, avenging Li Mihuo and his old friend Zhai Rang, and slashing his neck. Once Li Mi died, his status with Li Yuan would naturally increase.

However, after both Luoyang and Hebei were pacified, Li Shiji's position began to feel awkward.Because Li Shiji's remarks on the side of the Tang Dynasty were always a separatist leader, he was divided by Li Yuan into a group of Luo Yi in Youzhou and Du Fuwei in Jianghuai.

Although he belonged to the Tang Dynasty, he had territory and people. Li Yuan was always afraid of these things, so Li Yuan found an opportunity to kill Du Fuwei, who was given the surname Li by the king of Wu, and later transferred Li Yizheng, the king of Yan who was given the surname Li, to the court. As for Li Shiji, Li Yuan was a reward from Gao Juehoulu, but he has been very careful to use it carefully. His trust in him is far from that of Qin Qiong, Cheng Yaojin and other simple generals.

And Li Shiji, who suffered from Li Mihuo's loss when he was young, is also much more cautious and will never stand in line easily.In the fierce battle of Prince Qin in the last years of Wude, Li Shiji always remained neutral, which also made Li Shimin dissatisfied with him.

Therefore, since the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Jing, who used to be guarded by Li Yuan and Li Shimin's father and son, was reused in the end, but for Li Ji, he has always been in Bingzhou.

Li Ji has been in Bingzhou for six years. Although the status of Bingzhou is important, it is very rare for Li Ji to be able to hold the post of governor of Bingzhou. The general, who has not moved until now, fully shows the embarrassment of his situation.

Li Jing has already been conferred the honorary title of minister, and then retired with the title of first-rank Kaifuyi and the third division.

Although Li Ji removed the word "Shi" immediately after the new emperor came to the throne, until now this product is only the third doctor Jinzi Guanglu.

Of the three giants in Wagang back then, he is the only one left to die now. Many brothers from Wagang have become princes and generals, but Li Ji hasn't changed a bit in six years.

This embarrassing situation.

And Qin Lang knew that in history, Li Ji stayed in Bingzhou for 16 years. After staying for 16 years, the emperor seemed to have completely forgotten about Li Ji.

It wasn't until Li Shimin was about to die that he didn't seem to remember such a person, so that Li Ji began to serve as the assistant minister of the new prince Li Zhi.

Throughout the Zhenguan Dynasty, Li Ji was really lonely and lonely. His second spring came during the period of Emperor Gaozong and Li Zhi. At that time, most of the founding generals except Cheng Yaojin had withered. Only Li Ji was young and able to fight, especially in the The seniority and prestige in the Shandong group made Li Shimin arrange him to assist Li Zhi in his later years, so as to balance the Guanlong group of Guojiu's eldest grandson Wuji.

After all, Li Ji was still jealous and guarded by Li Shimin. Who made him young again? The most important thing is that he used to be the eldest brother. Almost all of the most capable people in the team of the emperor's hidden residence were Li Ji. younger brother subordinate.

There are no two days, and there are no two big brothers. If Li Shimin wants to be the big brother, Li Ji can only sit on the sidelines, especially his performance in Xuanwumen, which makes Li Shimin distrust him even more.

"Li Ji performed quite well in guarding Bingzhou, and he probably won't enter the court. I think the doctor Yushi is still Zhang Liang in all likelihood."

Qin Lang came to this result, Zhang Liang is the emperor's confidant, and Zhang Liang is an idiot general, so Zhang Liang may have to be transferred to Yushitai.

"Then can the teacher go back to serve as Minister of the Ministry of War?" Cheng Qian asked.

Qin Lang shook his head.

The impeachment case has only just begun, how could it reach a conclusion so quickly, it is estimated that Yu Shitai will not give up easily this time, no matter what the final result is, the case will not be closed for a while, so it is impossible for him to reunite.

As for the post of Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Lang believed that Li Shimin would be more willing to hand it over to his confidants.

Although Qin Lang is also the emperor's confidant, he is not the kind of real caring person.

Li Jing or Qin Qiong, or Chai Shao and Li Xiaogong should be the most qualified to be ministers of the Ministry of War, but it is impossible for the emperor to allow them to be ministers of the Ministry of War.

The emperor's appointment of people is not based on who has the most ability, but who is in his best interests.

Dai Guogong Li Jing and Guan Guogong Yang Gongren were busy packing their luggage, and they were going to the Longyou fiefdom. In fact, Qin Lang also wanted to go south to the Annan fiefdom. Unfortunately, it is not suitable for him to leave the capital while he is being impeached.

Who cares who will be the imperial historian and who will be the minister of the Ministry of War.

Although he said so, Qin Lang still carried out some secret activities.

There was an undercurrent in the court hall, but the people in Chang'an City were all dazzled by it. The changes were too fast. First, Qin Lang was dismissed, then Fang Xuanling was dismissed, and then the prime minister, Sun Wuji, failed to go to the Western Regions for gilding, and followed suit He was dismissed as Prime Minister, and then guarded the Western Regions.

Then the new censor Han Zhongliang overturned, and the censor was exempted from releasing Yangzhou Metropolitan Governor's Chief Shi.

Hou Junji was promoted to Doctor Guanglu, awarded the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, added the title of participating in political affairs, and returned to the prime minister.

Zhang Liang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, moved to the royal doctor and still participated in the government affairs.

Wei Chi Jingde, the governor of Ezhou, was recruited into the court, worshiped the Minister of the Ministry of War, and participated in the government affairs.

Li Xiyu, the former governor of Yangzhou, entered the court and was awarded the imperial censor Zhongcheng, and Cui Renshi, the imperial censor, was promoted to the imperial censor Zhongcheng.

Cui Dunli, Minister of the Ministry of War, went on a mission to the four countries in Haidong and returned to Beijing.

Even Yuchi Old Hei, who has always been arrogant and domineering, paid homage to him, and many people in Chang'an remembered that this Old Hei was still alive, and everyone almost forgot about him.

Hou Junji, Zhang Liang, and Yu Chi bowed respectfully, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Qin Lang dismissed their chancellors. They went in three times and went out three times. The changes were so confusing that people couldn't understand them.
