Five years of county magistrate, 100 million catties of grain shocked Li Shimin

Palace of the King of Wei.

Li Tai dragged his chubby figure to greet Changsun Wuji.

He was very surprised that his uncle came to the palace to look for him so late.

"Uncle, why are you here?"

Li Tai said very politely.

There is no way, even if he is not polite.

Why did he rely on the eldest grandson's family the most now?

If you want to be in power, you must have the support of more courtiers.

"Have you heard about Fang Yuan harboring wanted criminals?"

Changsun Wuji nodded, and walked straight into the Palace of the King of Wei.

"I heard, what do you think, uncle?"

King Wei frowned and said in a deep voice.

He immediately understood why Changsun Wuji came looking for him even after dark.

It turned out that Fang Yuan came here because he harbored wanted criminals, probably because he wanted to add insult to injury to Fang Yuan.

"This is a good opportunity. Uncle has impeached him many times, and it is estimated that only this time will succeed!"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

He and Gao Shilian repeatedly impeached Fang Yuan, as long as Fang Yuan had problems.

Although this may seem stingy, why not tell the emperor and other ministers that he and Gao Shilian don't like Fang Yuan?
Now, Fang Yuan made a mistake again, the two of them can impeach Fang Yuan without hesitation, and the emperor must give an answer.

"Then what does uncle mean by coming to see me?"

Li Tai was a little confused.

Since you will succeed, what else are you looking for?
"Harboring wanted criminals, whether it is serious or not, the emperor's punishment will not be too heavy, it's not what I want."

"I want you to help uncle, call a group of ministers to impeach Fang Yuan, at least let him be demoted!"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

In the final analysis, he is a minister, and the princes such as Li Tai are the future kings.

The emperor may not care much about the impeachment of the minister, but the impeachment of the future emperor is different.

Moreover, Li Tai can also contact his followers and some members of the royal family to impeach Fang Yuan together.

The emperor can ignore the impeachment of the ministers, but does he still ignore the impeachment of the clan?
"Uncle, with Fang Yuan's power, just demotion is not much use, is it?"

Li Tai thought for a while and said in a deep voice.

Fang Yuan is no longer what it used to be, we can't just look at Fang Yuan's position.

The research institute, medical school, and Huaxia Bank under his control are all top institutions of Datang.

Moreover, the Chang'an County Yamen has his relationship with the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Households, and it was not established because he was the Minister of the Ministry of Households.

In other words, even if Fang Yuan is suspended, demoted, or even suspended, these relationships will follow Fang Yuan without any change.

Therefore, Li Taiyuan's idea is not to participate in it, not to impeach nor to reach out to rescue, just let nature take its course.

"It's useless to Fang Yuan, but it's very useful to me. I will take this opportunity to push your uncle to the position."

Changsun Wuji sneered.

Indeed, Fang Yuan's current power is not much use just by demotion.

However, Fang Yuan's demotion and Gao Shilian's promotion had a huge impact on both the eldest grandson family and the Gao family.

Since then, the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Officials have suppressed Fang Yuan, will Fang Yuan still be able to turn the world upside down?
"Here, will this father agree?"

Li Tai was suddenly surprised.

The identities of Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian are well known.

If each other is in a high position, will the emperor sit back and let this happen?

"Your father and I, your uncle and your father are all in a life-and-death relationship, so how could you disagree?"

"Qingque, uncle needs you to lead everyone you can lead to impeach Fang Yuan and demote him!"

Changsun Wuji said in a deep voice.

"Uncle, this matter is very important, can you allow me to think about it?"

Li Tai was still a little worried, and didn't really want to help Changsun Wuji.

"You help uncle, uncle helps you!"

"Six months at the latest, uncle will definitely let you sit on the crown prince!"

Changsun Wuji snorted coldly in his heart, but said sincerely on the surface.

He is not a child anymore, he knows how to decide things based on his interests, he is quite a good child.

"Look at what you said, uncle, how could I not help uncle?"

"Uncle, don't worry, I have already thought about it, just waiting for your call, and immediately lead everyone to impeach Fang Yuan!"

Li Tai's eyes lit up immediately, and he said solemnly.

What he values ​​most is the position of prince, and he has been fighting with Li Ke for a long time.

As long as he can really sit on the crown prince, no matter what the conditions are, he will agree to them all.

"Tomorrow, I'll give you my damn advice!"

Changsun Wuji said coldly.

Dead remonstrance?

Li Tai's heart skipped a beat.

The expression immediately became dignified, and he nodded heavily.

Soon, Changsun Wuji left and went to the imperial study to see Li Shimin.

However, since Li Shimin didn't see any guests, Changsun Wuji had no choice but to leave the palace obediently.

The next day, the morning court proceeded as scheduled.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat if there is nothing!"

The eunuch shouted in a unique voice.

"Your Majesty, Fang Shangshu harbors wanted criminals, and the evidence of the crime is convincing. I don't think there is any need for another trial!"

An official from the official department stood up and said loudly.

After the words fell, many people's faces changed, and even Li Shimin showed dissatisfaction on his face.

"presumptuous!"

"How can the important ministers of the imperial court not go through the joint trial of the three divisions? What if there are grievances?"

Changsun Wuji stood up and stared hard at the official from the Ministry of Personnel.

But this is just a show for everyone to see, this person is actually arranged by him.

"Next, I know my mistake!"

The official of the Ministry of Officials was immediately persuaded, and obediently returned to his original position.

"Your Majesty, I feel very heavy when I hear about Fang Shangshu. Although the case has not been closed, it is actually just a process."

"Thinking that there are such people in our six Shangshu, this is a shame to our high-level officials, and a shame to all our Tang Dynasty officials!"

"I think that Fang Yuan is not suitable to continue to serve as Minister of the Household Department, even if the joint trial of the third department has not started, I still think so!"

Changsun Wuji said with a heartbroken look.

A few words raised Fang Yuan's hiding of wanted criminals to the shame of everyone.

"Your Majesty, this minister agrees!"

"Fang Shangshu was impeached once or twice, but he only favored Shengen but didn't know how to restrain himself."

"Now that you are harboring a wanted criminal, this is a crime of knowing the law and must be severely punished, and you should be demoted!"

Gao Shilian also stood up and said loudly.

As soon as the words fell, the interest groups of Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian stood up and seconded the proposal one after another.

The sound of seconding resounded above the main hall, and everyone felt it was deafening, feeling the strength of Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian.

Li Shimin didn't speak, looked at the people below with no expression on his face, looked at the expressions of the courtiers, to see who else wanted to stand up and impeach Fang Yuan.

"Father, I believe that Fang Yuan has repeatedly exceeded his limits in recent years, and this time it is even more excessive."

"If you don't deal with it strictly, you will definitely do more disrespect in the future, please punish Fang Yuan!"

Li Tai stood up and said loudly.

After the words fell, the officials who supported him all stood up one after another.

Among them are members of the royal family, who all support Li Tai in punishing Fang Yuan.

Li Ke squinted at Li Tai with a serious look on his face.

He knew that Li Tai should have reached some kind of cooperation with Changsun Wuji, otherwise Fang Yuan wouldn't be thrown into trouble.

It would be a foolish act for the prince to insult any neutral faction, Li Tai couldn't possibly be that stupid.

As Li Tai's people also stood up, nearly half of the courtiers had come forward to impeach Fang Yuan.

"Are you trying to force me to have a baby?!"

Li Shimin said in a cold voice with no expression on his face.

He knew that Changsun Wuji met Li Tai last night.

But today the two of them impeached Fang Yuan together, and it was fierce.

Looking at it this way, I am afraid that he wants to force himself to submit!

"Your Majesty misunderstood, the ministers are just concerned about the court, worried, worried"

Changsun Wuji's expression changed drastically, and he quickly explained.

But when it came to the end, he didn't say the last words in a daze.

This not only made Li Shimin curious, but also all the ministers.

Is there anything else you can't say as a minister of the Ministry of officials?

"worry about what?"

"Squeak, blah, blah, blah!"

Li Shimin said solemnly.

"I'm worried that you will be blinded, Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, think about it, have you been favored by Shangshu for so long?"

"He was promoted to six ministers at a young age, and you tolerated him for making mistakes many times. What kind of favor?"

"I am really worried that you will be deceived by him, unable to see his true face, and deceived by him. Your Majesty, I am worried!"

Changsun Wuji said in tears.

All the ministers listened, and many of them nodded, thinking that it seemed so.

Not to mention the six ministers, even the powerful figures above the fifth rank, Fang Yuan is the youngest.

For someone so young and from an ordinary background, but with such achievements, it is hard not to think that the emperor was deceived.

But although the ministers thought so, Li Shimin didn't think that way.

He knew that Fang Yuan's status and age did not match, but it was all through his hard work.

Among the officials, if it is said who they trust the most, Li Shimin thinks that Fang Yuan is more credible and more trustworthy.

Because Fang Yuan has no faction, and rarely arranges his own people to be in charge, this alone surpasses the ministers in the court.

"Thank you, Aiqing, for worrying. I will pay attention."

"The matter of Fang Yuan harboring wanted criminals is not a matter of my decision, nor is it a decision of any of you."

"Before the results of the interrogation of the three divisions come out, I don't want to see who is forced to make a conclusion for me. Otherwise, don't blame me for not showing favor and dismissing the court!"

Li Shimin said coldly.

At the end, he stood up directly and scanned the audience with sharp eyes.

The officials were swept by his gaze, and they all lowered their heads unconsciously, not daring to look directly into Li Shimin's gaze.

Seeing that most of the courtiers did not dare to look directly at him, Li Shimin was a little satisfied and left with his hands, ending the court meeting directly.

The officials were in an uproar and were shocked.

Since the emperor took the throne, it was the first time that the dynasty was dispersed like this.

Everyone looked at Changsun Wuji and the others, seeming to gloat about their misfortune.

Forcing the palace!

If this is true, the consequences will be unpredictable.

And this time it was indeed the problem of Changsun Wuji and others, it was too much.

The interrogation of the three divisions hadn't even started yet, so they were in a hurry to draw a conclusion on Fang Yuan, it was too hasty.

At the end of the court meeting, everyone dispersed.

Li Tai left with the crowd, seeing that the crowd gradually thinned out, he strode close to Changsun Wuji.

"Uncle, why are you in such a hurry?!"

Li Tai couldn't help but feel speechless for today's recklessness.

You shouldn't have followed Changsun Wuji's advice yesterday, but who would have thought that the other party would be so headless.

Suggesting Fang Yuan to be stereotyped now, isn't it meant to force the palace, isn't it embarrassing himself and others?
"Uncle has his own ideas, you just have to wait half a year."

Changsun Wuji smiled lightly, as if he had a plan in mind.

"Uncle, you."

Li Tai couldn't figure it out.

Such a reckless behavior is called having an idea?

Can any idea?
"You'll find out later."

Changsun Wuji didn't explain too much, and went straight back to the Ministry of Officials.

The morning court on this day is destined to affect many people, and the officials who are not qualified to attend the morning court are gradually getting to know the situation.

Most of the officials don't understand, why are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and others so anxious to target Fang Yuan?
The news spread quickly, and soon many people in Chang'an City also knew about it.

"Have you heard? Have you heard? Hubu Shangshu has been arrested!"

"I heard that he is harboring a criminal wanted by the imperial court. He is now awaiting trial in Dali Temple, and the three divisions will interrogate him!"

"I also heard that many ministers suggested to His Majesty to demote Fang Shangshu this morning, but His Majesty directly rejected it."

"Who is so stupid? It's too urgent to ask for a demotion before the results of the joint trial of the three divisions."

"I'm a little anxious, but don't you think His Majesty really favors Fang Shangshu?"

"It's really a favorite. He is already the Duke of the State and the Minister of the Household Department at a young age."

"It is said that His Majesty was deceived by Fang Yuan, it seems that it is not true."

People talk about it.

From talking about Fang Yuan being arrested to talking about the emperor being deceived.

Immediately, some of Fang Yuan's bad things were revealed, and more people felt that the emperor was deceived.

Immediately, more demonized public opinions appeared, saying that Fang Yuan's origin was unknown, maybe he was not a human, but a monster incarnation and so on.

However, this kind of public opinion is also regarded as a joke, and the discussion is not continued after a laugh.

However, their comments reached Li Shimin's ears.

"Hmph, did you create a discussion so quickly?"

Li Shimin couldn't help sneering.

He knew that the common people were just looking for fun.

But this is obviously because someone released the news, etc., and someone controlled the discussion.

It is estimated that it is Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian.

After the dynasty was over, Li Shimin also felt that something was wrong. Why was Changsun Wuji so reckless?

Obviously there is no joint trial by the three divisions, but you are in a hurry to convict Fang Yuan and rush to reincarnate?

This is not like Changsun Wuji.

But Li Shimin couldn't think of why the eldest grandson Wuji was like this for a while?
So people stare at the situation among the people and learn about the current discussions among the people.

But even so, Li Shimin still didn't know what Changsun Wuji wanted to do.

"Li Junxian, you contact Yuan Tiangang and ask him to send some people to watch over Changsun Wuji and Gao Shilian."

"Remember, keep it secret, you can't be found!"

Li Shimin said after pondering for a while.

The emperor's surveillance of the ministers will make the ministers feel that the emperor does not trust them.

If it is discovered, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty will be dissatisfied, which will cause a great impact and threaten the monarchy.

"Yes."

Li Junxian should leave.

"By the way, didn't the refugees find out about Fang Yuan's origin before?"

Li Shimin asked suddenly.

He used to care about Fang Yuan's background, but with Fang Yuan's performance, he gradually no longer cared so much, after all, he also had trouble with Fang Yuan's identity before.

Now someone mentioned Fang Yuan's identity among the people again, Li Shimin suddenly remembered that he had arranged for Li Junxian to investigate Fang Yuan's identity.

"No."

Li Junxian shook his head and said.

"Go."

Li Shimin waved his hand and said in a deep voice.
