Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2729
Officials from the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Shangshu informed the Ministry of War that they trusted the inspection of the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of Jin Li Zhi, to take office today, so the officials of the Ministry of War came to the yamen early in the morning, tidied up inside and out, and then waited at the door together Before waiting to be greeted.

Li Zhi's carriage approached from a distance, and the officials of the Ministry of War had lined up on both sides of the gate according to rank and position, all bowing to greet him.

Li Zhi, who was dressed in a python robe, got out of the car, with a warm smile on his still immature face. Seeing the officials of the Ministry of War greeted him in unison, he waved his hands with a smile, and said warmly: "From now on, everyone will be colleagues, so we should watch over and help each other. Support, this king is very polite."

The military official hurriedly said: "Don't dare!"

As the left servant of the Ministry of War, Cui Dunli had been acting as Minister of the Ministry of War before. He was the undisputed No.1 among the officials present. He took a step forward and bowed and said, "Your Highness is welcome to enter the yamen. We have already packed the room for His Highness." , you see if there is anything wrong, and the next official will order someone to correct it immediately."

Li Zhi laughed and said, "No hurry, no hurry."

As he spoke, he turned slightly to the side, and the eldest grandson Wuji, who was in a broad robe, walked down from the carriage...

All the military officials were shocked.

Yinger of the famous tree, as a bigwig who has been in power for more than ten years, was well-deserved in the past when one person was below tens of thousands of people. He doesn't need the power of the past, but in the eyes of court officials, he is still a first-class court boss.

Cui Dunli and the officials of the Ministry of War hurriedly saluted, and said in unison: "I will see Zhao Guogong!"

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard, smiled kindly, and said softly, "I have nothing to do today. His Royal Highness Jin Wang just took over the new post, so I accompanied him for a while. After all, I have been in all kinds of yamen, and I don't have the ability to pay you back." With some insight, there is some weight for His Royal Highness to suppress the scene, so as not to have those blind bullies who bully Jin Wang when he is young and do not understand the duty of a minister."

All the military officials were silent.

Everyone knows that His Royal Highness King Jin entered the Ministry of War to seize the power of the Ministry of War. Otherwise, why did the prince rush to the Ministry of War to assume his new post before he took office in the Ministry of Civil Affairs?But talking about it so grandiosely is obviously a warning and beating without any restraint.

Cui Dunli remained expressionless, bowed and said, "What Zhao Guogong said is very true...Your Highness, it's getting late, please come in."

Li Zhi nodded, and said to his eldest grandson Wuji: "Thank you, uncle, for your concern, and specially accompanying me to take up the new post. However, all the officers and men of the Ministry of War are officials of the Tang Dynasty, and they will abide by the rules and regulations. Don't worry, uncle. You are old and in poor health. Please come back." It is better for the government to rest."

Changsun Wuji said: "Since this is the case, I will take my leave for the time being. If Your Highness has anything you don't understand about the affairs, you may as well ask the old man later. I am not talented, but I also served as Minister of the Ministry of War for a while. I think I can do it." Solve the confusion for His Highness."

Li Zhi saluted and said, "Thank you uncle, please."

"Ah."

Changsun Wuji stroked his beard, nodded slightly to a group of military officials, turned around and was about to board the carriage.

At this moment, a fast horse galloped quickly from one end of the long street in the distance, and the horse's hooves clattered on the empty long street, making people feel panicked.

Changsun Wuji stopped and looked up.

The fast horse arrived at the speed of the wind, and it has already alarmed the central yamen of the imperial court on both sides of the street. Many people stood at the door and watched. This is the imperial city. Also rare.

Generally speaking, only when there is a war on the frontier, will the scouts deliver urgent messages...

In the blink of an eye, the fast horse came to the entrance of the military department. Seeing that Changsun Wuji was still there, the knight immediately pulled the reins.

Immediately, the knight got off his horse and walked quickly to Changsun Wuji, who was none other than Changsun Wen.

Changsun Wuji's face was gloomy, and he scolded in a low voice: "This is in the imperial city, so flustered, what's the proper way?"

The eldest grandson Wen didn't care about the people around him, and said in a loud voice: "Father, the Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice have just received a report. Before a stick of incense, Gao Jifu was brutally assassinated outside the Mingde Gate in the south of the city. die!"

Changsun Wuji shook his hand, almost pulled his beard off, and said in a broken voice, "What did you say?"

The eldest grandson Wen had no choice but to repeat: "Gao Jifu was assassinated outside the Mingde Gate!"

"boom!"

The officers of the Ministry of War nearby exploded in an instant.

We must know that although Gao Jifu failed to seek the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and bears the reputation of betraying his brother Gao Shilian, in the end he is still the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, a proper official of the court, and he was assassinated in broad daylight. Outside the Mingde Gate in the south of Chang'an City?
This is simply a blatant challenge to the entire judicial system of the Tang Dynasty, stripping off the face of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and stomping on it fiercely!

It's just too crazy!
Jin Wang Li Zhi's complexion was even paler, looking at Changsun Wuji, his lips twitched a few times, but he didn't say anything when he wanted to speak.

The eldest grandson Wuji also looked at Li Zhi, and the eyes of his nephew and uncle met. Although they didn't speak, they thought about the same thing—just when Li Zhi planned to reuse Gao Jifu and use Gao Jifu to control the power of the military department, Gao Jifu But he was assassinated to death. What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this? Could it be that he is clearly targeting Jin Wang Li Zhi?

The name "Prince" appeared in the bottom of their hearts almost at the same time, but immediately felt that it was impossible.

The prince has always flaunted kindness and kindness. To put it bluntly, he is cowardly and indecisive. He is not hard-hearted and his methods are not cruel enough. Otherwise, the team built by the prince for many years would be more ruthless. Wei Wang Li Tai who wanted to compete for the reserve position did not know how many times he died back.

If Fang Jun and others are by the prince's side, they may be able to persuade the prince to do such a cruel thing, but now that Fang Jun is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, who can persuade the prince to abandon his own character and do such a cruel thing ?

There is another person who is under suspicion, and that is Shen Guogong Gao Shilian.

There was Qiu Xinggong first, and then Gao Jifu. The betrayal of these two people not only made Gao Shilian lose face and prestige, but also must have a fire in his heart. It is impossible not to kill these two rebellious thoughts.

But if it was really Gao Shilian's doing, why didn't he kill him sooner or later, and why did he kill him at the time when King Jin planned to reuse Gao Jifu?

After thinking about it, it doesn't seem like what Gao Shilian did...

So why did Gao Jifu die?

Changsun Wuji has gone through countless ups and downs in his life, he is used to seeing violent storms, and his face returns to normal after only a slight change. Seeing that Li Zhi is a little out of order, he is afraid that because of Gao Jifu's death, there will be a shadow in his heart, and he will have the heart to fight for the reserve. Suo flinched, and quickly said: "Your Highness, don't worry, the old minister will go to the Ministry of Justice and Jingzhao Mansion to have a look, and report to His Highness after the details. Your Highness, please assume the new post as soon as possible. After all, it is your duty to preside over the Ministry of War."

Only then did Li Zhi come back to his senses, he still had lingering fear in his heart, he could only suppress his fear, nodded and said: "Then I will ask Uncle Lao to check it out, and I will tell you later."

Changsun Wuji said: "The old minister will leave for the time being..."

He looked around for a week, then turned around and boarded the car, and walked away.

The officials of the Ministry of War hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Congratulations to Zhao Guogong!"

It wasn't until Changsun Wuji's carriage went away that everyone got up, Cui Dunli stepped forward and said to Li Zhi: "Your Highness, please go inside and report on your duties."

Li Zhi nodded and said with a forced smile: "You don't need to be so polite. From now on, we will be colleagues. That's the friendship of robes. It's more intimate to be casual."

He wanted to use the Ministry of War as his springboard, while digging out the crown prince's foundation, he wanted to cultivate his own wings and increase his bargaining chips for the reserve.But he didn't expect that Gao Jifu, who had placed high hopes on him, would be assassinated to death in broad daylight before he took up his post.

In the final analysis, he is just a prince who has not reached the weak crown, grew up in the deep palace since he was a child, and has never seen bloody battles in the court. Putting it in front of him immediately made his heart tremble and his heart tremble with fear.

Today is Gao Jifu, who will be tomorrow?
Will he become the elder brother of the prince one day, or himself...

All ambitions are shaken at this moment. If this journey is accompanied by countless killings and blood, even if the goal is finally achieved, is this what he is really pursuing?

In a daze, surrounded by officials from the Ministry of War, he entered the gate and entered the main hall.

As everyone knows, at this moment, the entire city of Chang'an was shaken, and while all forces were stunned by Gao Jifu's tragic death, they all began to restrain their wings, so as not to harm Chi Yu.Because everyone knows that His Majesty Li Er allows various forces to fight back and forth, but he will never allow anyone to brazenly attack his opponent in Chang'an City.

When the government is accompanied by endless blood, and every courtier has to be in a panic all day long, how can there be any trace of prosperity?
That is simply the chaos and killing that can only be seen at the end of a dynasty!
Don't speculate, everyone knows that His Majesty Li Er's thunderous wrath will follow, and an unknown number of people will be dismissed and decapitated because of this. A vigorous purge of the court is about to start.
