Tiantang Splendid

Chapter 2993 Royal position

This can be regarded as an opportunity to accommodate those ministers who made mistakes unintentionally. After all, no one knows when they will be unlucky, and disasters will fall from the sky.

It can also be regarded as an unspoken rule in the officialdom of the empire...

The fire at the Right Guards has long been known. Chai Zhewei may not be regarded as the pillar of the empire and the leader of the imperial court, but at the moment Guanzhong is empty of troops. The full-staffed military guards shoulder the important task of guarding the capital. As long as there is no big mistake at this time, stability must be the first priority.

Who is this and lifted the cover as soon as it came up?
All the ministers turned their heads to look at it, and they were suddenly surprised.

But it turned out to be Li Yuanjia, the king of Dazong Zhenghan...

So, the ministers subconsciously turned their heads here to look at Fang Jun who was in the front row of the general.

This is your brother-in-law, shouldn't he stand with you and support the prince?To dismantle your platform like this, isn't His Royal Highness Han afraid of being beaten by your little brother-in-law?Or is there another "horse stepping on Han Wangfu"?
Fang Jun also frowned, and glanced at his brother-in-law.

Did Chai Zhewei's dismissal endanger Li Yuanjia's interests, or was it the position of the royal family?
The former is easy to handle, but if the latter...

Glancing at Li Chengqian, who was above Jade Majesty, he also had a serious expression on his face, apparently he didn't know about King Han's stepping up and lifting the lid in advance.

Ma Zhou, who was standing next to Fang Jun, also took a look at Fang Jun. The two sides exchanged eyes, and they both understood each other's thoughts.

If Chai Zhewei's matter was discussed in the political affairs hall, then with the control of the prince's family, he could impose any punishment on Chai Zhewei. The key was that Li Chengqian could be ruthless.But now that it was uncovered at the court meeting, Zongzheng Temple, which represents the interests of the royal family, participated inexplicably, so it's hard to say.

Although Zongzheng Temple usually only focuses on the internal affairs of the royal family, and does not show its mountains or dew, but it has a great influence on the emperor, let alone the prince who only has the power to supervise the country?
The most terrible thing is that Li Chengqian himself is not willing to punish Chai Zhewei too severely...

Fang Jun couldn't help but look at Chai Zhewei with admiration.

This fellow is standing outside the Tai Chi Hall right now, temporarily deprived of the qualification to participate in the court meeting, and will be able to go to the Political Affairs Hall to defend himself later.However, even though he couldn't even enter the Taiji Hall, he was able to single-handedly manipulate Zongzheng Temple to stand up for him. This ability was somewhat unexpected...

Naturally, Li Chengqian would not answer Li Yuanjia's question. He waved his hand, and Song Guogong Xiao Yu said, "It's true. Yesterday, the Ministry of Civil Affairs and the Ministry of War jointly sent several officials to Zuo Tunwei to check the accounts. A sudden fire burned down several account rooms, and all account books were destroyed by the fire.”

There was a sudden "buzz" in the main hall, and all the ministers whispered and discussed, all showing astonished expressions.

Before, everyone just heard that Zuo Tunwei was on fire, which led to martial law inside and outside Chang'an City, but they didn't know that the imperial court actually sent officials to check Zuo Tunwei's account books, and the most outrageous thing was the sudden fire in the house, and all the account books were burned...

How dare Chai Zhewei be so bold?
This is clearly disregarding the court's laws and acting recklessly!
Of course, it is not easy to convict Chai Zhewei. The fact that the house is on fire is too easy to happen. Afterwards, the fire is completely burned. As long as the arsonist would rather die than testify against Chai Zhewei, it will be difficult to find other evidence ...

Li Yuanjia was dressed in a purple robe, but over thirty years old, but his face was like a crown jade, he was elegant, and had an excellent temperament. He cupped his hands and said, "Then I dare to ask Your Highness, are you here today at the court meeting to discuss how to deal with this fire incident?"

Before Li Chengqian could speak, Fang Jun had already stepped out of the train, and said loudly: "This matter seems to be accidental, but in fact it has far-reaching effects, and we cannot easily jump to conclusions. His Royal Highness has assigned Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and Weiwei Temple to dispatch capable officials to the left. Tunwei, the investigation into the fire has not yet reached a conclusion, so this matter should be put aside, and a conclusion will be made after the investigation is completed."

He already felt that the power of Zongzheng Temple would cause great changes in the matter. After all, Chai Zhewei is the son of Princess Pingyang, and his brother Chai Lingwu is Princess Baling's son-in-law. No one can stop the case from being handed over to him.

So I didn't mention discussing this matter in the Zhengshitang later, as long as the case is not handed over to Zongzheng Temple, Chai Zhewei can be convicted anytime and anywhere...

However, Li Yuanjia seemed to have expected him to say this, with a normal face, and said loudly: "Duke Yue's words are wrong. Duke Qiao is a relative of the emperor, and the roster has already been registered on the jade butterfly of the royal family. Jurisdiction. Zongzheng Temple, Dali Temple, Xingbu Temple, and Weiwei Temple went to the Zuotunwei camp last night. After an overnight investigation, no traces of arson were found. Since there is no obvious evidence that Qiao Guogong set the fire, Then how to deal with it in the future, that is the matter of Zongzheng Temple, and no yamen has the right to intervene."

As he spoke, he took out another memorial from his bosom, handed it to the servant in the palace, and saluted Li Chengqian: "Your Highness, this is the union of five princes, twelve heir kings, and twenty-six county kings in the royal family." I implore you to hand over the case of Chai Zhewei to Zongzheng Temple for disposal! Your Highness, Zongzheng Temple is responsible for managing all affairs related to the royal family and is the backbone of the royal family. However, since Zhenguan came, the authority of Zongzheng Temple has been suppressed. Even if the prince and son-in-law are involved in many cases, Zongzheng Temple has no right to deal with them. For example, before Zhao Guogong sued Yue Guogong for murdering his son, the court set up three judicial divisions to interrogate him. However, the punishment is still the result of the balance between various yamen in the imperial court, and Zongzheng Temple has no right to intervene. Your Highness, if things go on like this, Zongzheng Temple will be useless, and the harm to the royal family will be unimaginable... If the case of Qiao Guogong cannot be transferred to Zongzheng Temple today, it will be a little bit I beg Your Highness to allow you to resign."

As he said that, he actually took off the black gauze on the top of his head and put it on the ground, while he knelt down and stood firm with his head on the ground.

Looking at the joint memorial in his hand, Li Chengqian felt a little dissatisfied, but it was difficult to decide.

The royal family is the root of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the foundation of Li and his son. Now the royal family brazenly participates in the affairs of the court, and blatantly violates the will of him, the prince of the supervisory country. How can this not make him feel uneasy?
To put it bluntly, it means that the emperor's dominance over the royal family is declining. Too many people want to have their own interests. To put it bluntly, it means that the entire royal family is not optimistic about him, the prince, and wants to be cruel at such a critical moment. Slap him in the face once, and throw his prestige as a prince on the ground...

Fang Jun looked at Li Yuanjia, and said with a sneer, "His Royal Highness King Han is really loyal. For the benefit of Zongzheng Temple, he not only ignored the court's laws, but also dared to threaten His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. How courageous!"

The ministers suddenly became energetic.

Everyone knows that although King Han is deeply favored by His Majesty and is regarded as powerful among the royal family, he has always been helpless and even deeply afraid of this brother-in-law.After all, Fang Jun's stick doesn't care about you, His Royal Highness Han Wang or Da Zongzheng, if you get angry, you can hit it!

Back then, the King of Han took a concubine, not even a side concubine, but something like a plaything, so he went back to his mother's house because he made Princess Han unhappy, and this guy brought the slaves to the door, and staged a scene. Going out of the "horse stepping on the palace of the king of Han", the king of Han was so scared that he heard the news halfway, and he didn't dare to go home. In the middle of the night, he broke into the palace and asked his majesty to make decisions for him...

Li Yuanjia was really scared of this brother-in-law.

This guy is just a stick. When he gets along with you, he doesn't distinguish between the inside and the outside. I lost face and stomped on the ground a few times.

Just because of the backing of such a brother who dared to come to the door even if they disagreed, Princess Han was like an overlord in the mansion. Who would dare to be disrespectful at all?

If I don't do well today, I will make this stick go crazy, and I will be able to hit the door after the court...

But thinking of the joint memorabilia sent to his mansion by several princes, heir kings, and county kings this morning, Li Yuanjia had to grit his teeth and be cruel, and must resist the threat of this guy!

Otherwise, once there is chaos within the royal family, the foundation of the country will definitely be shaken. At that time, it will not be a question of whether he, the Dazong, is doing it. If he is not accountable, it may be possible to seize the title, be dismissed and sent to the army...
