Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 573 The Gears of Destiny

Li Hun ordered people from Yushitai to impeach Liang Shidu. This is not a trivial matter. He has all the evidence of Liangbi, and the supervisory censor named Xu Qing died in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment within two days.

This was not done by Li Hun, it was frightened to death.

The department of Yushitai was arranged by Yang Guang alone. Other departments can form cliques, but not here. Therefore, the emperor's most taboo is the department in charge of picketing and impeachment, which can also be instructed by others.

This department is equivalent to Jijianwei.

It doesn't matter if the witness is dead, the confession is still there, Yang Guang directly dismissed Li Hun on the spot and ordered him to go home.

A general of You Xiaowei and a servant of the Ministry of Punishment, this is vacant.

That night, Li Hun went to Yu Wenshu's house to make a scene.

"You can figure it out. I'll take the blame for you. I'll give you three months. If I can't go back to the court, I'll go to see His Majesty and tell you everything," said Li Hun with a golden knife. Sitting at Yu Wenshu's house, he said in a panic.

Yu Wenshu was also very angry, and said with a sneer, "Look at what you did? Such a trivial matter, you can let people check it out in two days, Li Jincai, Li Jincai, I really admire you. "

Li Hun said angrily: "What? How dare you blame me? I am here because of you, Yu Wenshu, are you repaying your grievance with virtue?"

The two brothers were brother-in-law and uncle-in-law, not outsiders, but close relatives, but Yu Wenshu didn't want to see each other, and always felt that Li Hun was too sinister and greedy for money, and unreliable.

Take this time as an example, Yu Wenshu didn't want to implicate himself, so he ordered Li Hun to find someone to deal with Master Liang, and the result?Who are you looking for?That wretch named Xu Qing recruited everything before he was tortured.

You are also the Duke of the state, and you killed all your own nephews, and you didn't show your feet. Why is it that such a trivial matter is caught by people?
Incompetent people.

Facing Li Hun who was barking like a dog, what else could Yu Wenshu say?
"Okay, okay, three months is unrealistic, time is too tight, I will find a way to let you go back before the end of the year, you can go home and wait with peace of mind."

"It's nothing to talk about, three months is three months," Li Hun got up directly and said, "If it can't be done in three months, I will go to see His Majesty."

After finishing speaking, Li Hun slammed the door angrily and left.

"This bastard, I'll find someone to abolish him," the second child Yu Wenzhiji said viciously.

Yu Wenshu sighed expressionlessly: "If this goes on like this, your father and I will really become lonely ministers. Li Hun is unreliable. For the present plan, I should support a group of old subordinates as soon as possible, otherwise One Liang Pi is dead, and I don't know how many people are waiting to deal with me."

"How to solve Li Jincai's matter?" the youngest scholar Yu Wenshi asked.

Yu Wenshu narrowed his eyes: "This person is a white-eyed wolf and a bottomless pit. If you use him, you have to pay. If you can't feed him enough, let me think about it."

At the court meeting the next day, Yang Guang finally asked who should fill in the vacancy of Minister of Punishment.

Now that the Ministry of Punishment has been mentioned, General You Xiaowei, who was released by Li Qingkong, is naturally even more enviable.

Therefore, the focus of the original discussion shifted from the minister of punishment to General You Xiaowei. The two people who fought most fiercely were Guo Rong and Pei Renji.

When Shi Wansui stepped down as Zuo Tunwei, Guo Rong wanted to step up, but Yang Ming didn't use him, but gave it to Yang Hao, and now he finally got another chance, how could Guo Rong give up so easily and kneel directly in the hall Pour out your loyalty to the emperor.

Yes, if you want to climb high, ability comes second, and loyalty comes first.

Yang Guang was very moved at the time. You must know that Guo Rong had been with Yuwenhu when he was young, and he started very high. After entering the Sui Dynasty, because he and Yang Jian were buddies, he has been reused all the time.

In terms of qualifications and prestige, he is completely competent, it depends on whether the emperor will nod.

The same is true for Pei Renji, his qualifications are enough. He has always been a general in the Jianmen Mansion. No one can.

The Guo family in Taiyuan is also a great power, but in the court, it is not in the same order as the Pei family in Hedong.

So Pei Renji's voice is very high now, you will show your loyalty, don't I?I was born as a guard of Emperor Gaozu, and my loyalty to the Sui Dynasty is not comparable to that of you, who served Yuwen's family.

The two factions started arguing at the court meeting like this.

Guo Rong also has supporters. His younger brother, Guo Hongdao, is a member of the Ministry of Internal History.

Among them, the younger brother, Guo Hongdao, is Li Yuan's close buddy. After entering the Tang Dynasty in history, he served as Weiwei Siqing, and was granted the title of Duke Gao by what status?It's called Longqian's old.

It means that when Li Yuan, the dragon, was still lying in the water, I became buddies with him.

In addition, his cousin Guo Luqiu is not well-known in himself, so he left a name in history, but he has a great-great-grandson, who is a top figure in Chinese history that cannot be avoided when talking about the Guo surname.

That's right, it is the famous King of Fenyang, Guo Ziyi.

The pros and cons of the dispute between Guo and Pei lie in the fact that Guo Rong's helpers were not eligible to participate in the court meeting during Kaihuang's reign, while Pei Renji's helpers, Pei Ju and Pei Yun, were enough.

But Yu Wenshu stood up, and he fully supported Guo Rong, causing the balance to tilt.

The reason why he supports Guo Rong is very simple. He doesn't want the Pei family to grow up and sell favors to Guo Rong. After all, Guo Rong is a non-partisan person.

In the current court, Yu Wenshu's face is very big, because he destroyed Goguryeo, Yang Guang must give priority to Yu Wenshu's opinion, and he also really loves Yu Wenshu himself.

As a result, Guo Rong got his wish, lived for most of his life, and finally became a general.

But Yang Guang is very good at playing balance. The Pei family is in this trouble. If you don’t give them a slope, they can’t get down. So Yang Guang gave Su Wei and You Wuwei to him. Pei Renji.

Guo Rong was dumbfounded at the time, and fought for a long time, in vain. If I had known that there were two positions, would I be so violent with the Pei family?
Su Wei himself certainly doesn't care. When he went to Goguryeo, he served as both Youwuwei and Youyuwei. Government, then what am I doing with this?

In this way, everyone is happy, but Pei Renji also knows very well that he, You Wuwei, is a famous person, but it is better to have a famous person than not to have one.

why?The two generals of Youwuwei are Li Jing and Zhou Fashang. Guess who is in charge here?
"Liang Qing's posthumous title has also been determined. I think the word Jing is appropriate," Yang Guang said mournfully, "on the day of the funeral, all officials below the third rank will go to express their condolences."

This is where Liang Bi's superiority lies. A marquis with such a good posthumous title, if this person is not too straightforward, he could have climbed higher.

As for the law of the Sui Dynasty, it was the doctor of Taichang Temple who took posthumous titles below the princes. Liang Bi's posthumous title was chosen for him by Ouyang Xun, the second calligrapher of the Sui Dynasty.

The position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice is not something everyone can do. You have to have this ability. You can see who the other Minister of the Ministry of Justice is, and you will know who can take this position.

Working with Wei Xuan is not so easy.

Yu Wenshu recommended a man named Wang Rengong, who is currently the prefect of Mayi. He is 55 years old this year. He is Yang Jian's confidant and favorite general.

This person is Yu Wenshu's old subordinate, and his relationship is very strong. Wang Rengong is qualified for the position of Minister of Criminal Justice.

But many people disagree, you let him go to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, you are looking down on Wei Xuan.

This is the sophistication of the world. You are qualified for a position with all your qualifications and abilities, but it is difficult to arrange for someone who is in the same position as you and has a much higher prestige than you.

Those who objected were also taking care of Wei Xuan's face, even though he was a servant, Shang Shuchang Sun Chi had to talk to him well.

Originally, Wang Rengong was basically hopeless, but the gears of fate turned at this time.

Sun Chi resigned.

"I have been seriously ill for a long time and have been unable to handle official duties. Your Majesty, please step down as a minister," Chang Sun Chi knelt down tremblingly for Yang Guang with Xuangan's support.

He is really dying. In the past month, he has been helped in by someone when he went to court. His right leg is already limping a little, but it is not a problem with his leg. It should be that other parts of his body have affected his leg.

"Aiqing, please hurry up," Yang Guang said with a concerned face.

Yu Wenshu hurried up to help Chang Sun Chi, but instead of taking his hand, he grabbed Xuangan's arm and stood up slowly.

The eldest grandson Chiji's daughter is Yuwen Zhiji's regular wife, to be precise, his ex-wife, because Yu Wenzhiji was later sued, and Yang Jian allowed him to divorce.

Yu Wenshu also had a good hand, but was beaten badly by his son.

"I don't want to let Qing quit his post, but I can't bear to impose labor on Qing's body, alas." Yang Guang sighed: "I will allow Qing to go home to recuperate, and the prince will visit on my behalf."

Changsun Chi is the second elder brother of Changsun Sheng. His younger brother died, and he is about to die too. The main reason is that time is not forgiving.

Then there is almost no need to discuss who will be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to take over. Wei Xuan will do his part, and Li Yuan dare not snatch it.

Originally, this position should belong to Li Yuan, but Wei Xuan went to Goguryeo and almost died there. Li Yuan wanted to fight for it, but he couldn't open his mouth after all.

Then Wang Rengong recommended by Yu Wenshu successfully became the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and the vacancy after Wei Xuan's promotion was transferred by Yuan Hongsi.

The current prefect of Zhuojun is Wei Baoluan, the Duke of Hua.

After the meeting was over, Yu Wenshu had the cheek to help Chang Sun Chi, even though he didn't have a good face, Yu Wenshu still accompanied him with a smile, and helped him out of the palace step by step and into the carriage.

"Wang Gong likes to take care of himself," this is the last sentence Chang Sun Chi said to Yuwen in his life.

Yu Wenshu bowed his hands and said, "Brother's teachings should be remembered."

Originally, the two families were in-laws, but because of Yu Wenzhi's mischief, they became enemies. Yu Wenshu looked at the carriage far away, feeling very sad.
