Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 704;
Chapter 650;
In the imperial city of Chang'an City, the Crown Prince's East Palace, the Great Hall of Political Affairs!

The court of Li and Tang, who had not been in court for a long time, finally resumed the court meeting. All the civil and military ministers who were qualified to go to court, regardless of their rank, appeared at the court meeting on time.

The storm is coming!People from all the factions knew in their hearts that today must be the day to see the outcome. Sure enough, as soon as His Majesty the Emperor appeared and all the ministers shouted Long Live, immediately there were forces from the Qin Palace's faction to speak out!

The one who spoke was Fang Xuanling, the nineteenth scholar of the Prince of Qin's Mansion, who was good at plotting Fang Xuanling. What everyone didn't expect was that the faction of the King of Qin's Mansion did not use seven or eighth-rank pawns to open the way today, but directly used a powerful one to rush forward;

"Report to Your Majesty, I have the original performance."

Li Shimin stretched out his right hand impatiently;
"Precise play."

"Yes. Thank you, Your Majesty."

"I would like to report to Your Majesty that the seven temples including the Temple of Ci'en that I want to participate in are those who have privately hidden weapons and armor, accumulated money, silk and silk and a large amount of rations, and deliberately plotted against them."

Fang Xuanling's words shook the hearts of all civil and military officials, let's see!I knew something big was going to happen today, and sure enough, opening my mouth would be a shocking case, just wait and see, today is going to be exciting!
Li Shimin was very happy in his heart. He wished he could skip all the process and announce the result directly. Those who should be killed should be dismissed, and then quickly filled in his subordinates. Li Shimin even wanted to do this kind of thing a few more times. The power of the faction has messed with him several times, so that he can kill people openly, and then bring all his subordinates in to take power so that people can feel at ease...

"Don't worry about the house servant, let's talk slowly, tell the story, and when the result is clear, let the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty come to discuss the justice."

"According to the order."

After Fang Xuanling agreed, he directly started the topic from a group of county magistrates, until finally he vaguely mentioned that even if someone did not instigate him, he would have nothing to do with the current Prime Minister Pei Ji. And up.

The Taishanghuang faction had already taken precautions. While talking boldly and disposing of it according to the court law, they were busy shaking off the mud on their bodies. Officials from other factions stretched their necks to watch the excitement. The entire court meeting was entangled in the topic of the monk!
Li Shimin frowned all the time watching the chaotic scene, and finally couldn't help it, and stood up with a swipe;

"enough!"

When the emperor got angry, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty quieted down, and the civil and military officials returned to their respective positions.

Li Shimin walked back and forth on the dragon platform twice, and then looked down coldly;

"Wei Aiqing."

Wei Zheng, who was resting in the ranks of civil servants, opened his eyes violently, bursting out with boundless vitality, stepped out of the train, and calmly agreed;
"The minister is here."

"You are famously unselfish in my court. Everyone in the world knows your name of justice, and you happen to be working under the supervision of the secretary. Today, I am a little confused. You will eat the king's salary under the supervision of the secretary. Let’s talk about how to deal with these messy things so that people in the world will be convinced, and won’t let people think that I’m mean and ungrateful, and don’t let people in the world say that the court is unfair!”

"According to the order!"

Wei Zheng, who has just been qualified to participate in the political affairs of the court, has always been in the court meeting without saying a word. He closed his eyes and rested his mind every day, because he had just entered the center of power, and he was still a marginal figure and his grade was not high. , the qualifications are not old, and there is no backing, so even though Wei Zheng is full of ambitions and lofty ideals, he has to lie dormant and wait for the opportunity.

But today's situation made Wei Zheng see hope. The news of today's incident has been spread throughout Chang'an city. Wei Zheng asked the sky for a hexagram two days ago, and in the end he got a Huotian Dayou hexagram called Wei Zheng. Full of confidence, relaxed and comfortable all over!

Huotian is powerful, just by looking at the name, you can know the power of it. The dry one is the sky. Some hexagrams, a gentleman observes this hexagram, draws the law from fire, has insight into good and evil, suppresses evil and promotes good, so as to obey the destiny and pray for good luck.

Those who get this hexagram are just lucky, and everything is auspicious, so they will gain a lot, because the word "Dayou" itself means great harvest. Shangshangji hexagram is also, the ancients have said about this hexagram;
Cut down trees, touch sparrows and do things in prison, right and wrong will naturally disappear, marriage and partnership will be laborious, if you ask if you are lost but you have not escaped, the harvest will be fulfilled in a short time, and the sky will be better than ever!

Wei Zheng, who got this hexagram, knew in his heart that there must be a chance to show his face today, so he kept thinking in his heart what to say if the emperor asked him, so as to ensure the quality, not completely offend the Supreme Emperor's faction, and satisfy the emperor. Create a great opportunity for yourself to rise to the top!

After agreeing, Wei Zheng had a serious expression on his face, and he didn't look at anyone, just talking to himself;

"I report to His Majesty the Emperor, I believe that the magistrates of the four counties are not strict in governing the people, they connive at the rebellion of thieves, they have not reported to the court, and they have accepted money, silk and silk, and the evidence of the crime handed over by Dali Temple is convincing. Ming canonical punishment, so that future generations will not offend, and can be sentenced to death!"

There is nothing wrong with what Wei Zheng said, that's what Li Shimin thought, the four county magistrates must be beheaded!Use it as an example!

Even the officials on the Supreme Emperor's side guessed this result, but none of the civil and military officials said it publicly. It is considered the best arrangement for someone other than the two factions to propose it.

Seeing that no one objected, Wei Zheng continued talking to himself;
"As the head of the family, you should know that your words and deeds are related to everything in the family. Since they have violated the law, they should bear the corresponding ending. Therefore, the family members of the four county magistrates, young and old, should be sent to the army. The woman should be an official slave, and not enter the Jiaofang office as a slave or a handmaiden, so that the world can see the shocking ending after this! Only then can it be regarded as a canonical punishment!"

Li Shimin felt very relieved when he heard that, he had never seen Wei Zheng so pleasing to the eye like today, before, he kept Wei Zheng for his own reputation, and also wanted to use him to appease Prince Yin's henchmen, but now it seems that Wei Zheng's courage is the material for great things, A rookie who has just entered the center of power, dares to openly challenge and kill the subordinates of the Supreme Emperor's faction, he really has the guts!
Li Shimin opened his mouth without waiting for others to speak;
"That's right! What Wei Aiqing said is in line with the court's laws and is reasonable. There is no need to say anything more when this matter is approved."

Li Shimin, who had finished summarizing, was about to sit down, thinking something was wrong, he quickly pointed to the two officials to the east and spoke again;
"Write it right now, the four county magistrates will be executed, there is no need to wait any longer, and there is no need to argue any more. Today at [-]:[-] p.m., the east gate of Dongshi City beheaded the public, and the head was hung at the east gate of Chang'an City. Family members are not allowed to collect the corpse."

"According to the order."

The two officials who were in charge of writing the imperial decree started to move their pens like flying with a word of promise, rushing away!

Li Shimin here turned his head and ordered;
"General Cheng."

Cheng Yaojin stood up excitedly;

"The minister is here! Your lord, please order on the spot!"

"I order you to leave the imperial city immediately, and take the family members of the four county magistrates into custody, confiscating all the money, silk, and property, and returning them to the treasury. You will also be the supervisor and beheading officer for today. After verifying their integrity, let their heads fall. There must be no mistakes! "

Cheng Yaojin, the world-renowned great demon king, finally got a small errand in the past few years after joining the Weishui Alliance, and responded happily with his fists in his arms;

"According to the order!"

After agreeing, Cheng Yaojin strode out of the hall.

Li Shimin just sat back peacefully and looked at Wei Zheng calmly;

"Ai Qing continues."

Wei Zheng nodded slightly;

"It's Your Majesty."

"The county magistrates of the four counties did not report their knowledge. The crime is not small. They should be sent to the army for [-] years! An additional penalty of three hundred guan is confiscated! Ten years later, they will be allowed to redeem with money and silk."

"allow!"

"Bo, the lord of the four counties, if he says he doesn't know anyone and doesn't believe anyone, and there is a confession here, he should be distributed for seven years! And each family will be punished with a hundred coins! After three years, he is allowed to pay money to redeem Chang'an."

"allow!"

Every time Wei Zheng said something, Li Shimin became happier, and the factions in the Qin Palace were also happier.

Finally, it was the turn of the high-ranking fifth-rank officials of the imperial court. All the civil and military officials in the court were staring at Wei Zheng. The Supreme Emperor's faction hoped that this guy would be less aggressive and not completely seduce the emperor's murderous intentions.

The officials of the faction of Prince Qin's Mansion hoped that Wei Zheng would kill a few more people to have a good time and let out the anger of being suppressed by the Supreme Emperor's faction all the time.

Li Shimin said calmly with a little excitement that could not be suppressed;

"Why didn't Aiqing continue talking? Isn't there still many officials who haven't dealt with it?"

"Report to His Majesty the Emperor, the remaining officials are of high rank and have served in the imperial court for many years. The positions of ministers are not enough, so I dare not talk nonsense. Please teach me what is good and bad, so that I can continue!"

Li Shimin's mind turned quickly, and after several considerations, he made an astonishing move;

"House servant shoots!"

Fang Xuanling quickly stood up and saluted;
"The minister is here, please give orders to His Majesty the Emperor!"

"The decree will be passed down, three provinces and six ministries will be written, and Wei Zheng under the secretary's supervision will be upright and honest, with outstanding abilities, and he will do his best to serve the court. , moved to Doctor Yushi."

Fang Xuanling could hear the muscles on his face twitching, but he still readily agreed;

"According to the order!"

Wei Zheng really didn't expect that Huo Tian Da You's hexagram would be so powerful and extraordinary, and it came true in just three days.

My original intention was that my rank was too low, and I wanted to comment that the sedentary fifth-rank officials in the center of power were somewhat powerless, so I needed the support of the emperor to continue speaking.

And he also made it clear that he didn't mean to ask for any official position, so even Wei Zheng, who was as steady as a mountain, twitched his brows several times in succession after being promoted to multiple levels!This... is really surprising!

Li Shimin's move today was a sudden decision, which completely interrupted everyone's thinking, and jumped directly from the monk's affairs to the heavyweight position to compete for the top. Not to mention the fact that the officials of other factions are extremely different, they are from the faction of the Qin Palace. All the civil and military officials were stunned.

Two years ago, after His Majesty the Emperor ascended the throne, he also granted Wei Zheng the rank of fourth rank, Shang Shu Zuo Cheng, but that was a vain position, just an empty rank, and did not give him real power, so no matter how capable Wei Zheng was, he still served as secretary and supervisor. The position of Lizheng Wupin, to give advice to the emperor, to deal with normal affairs.

The head of the secretarial supervisor is a powerful person from the third rank. Because he is too close to the emperor and has terrifying power, he has always been a position where many factions compete fiercely.

Because it has been unable to balance the power of the various factions, and because the civil servants from the factions of the Qin Palace, a few who are qualified for this position have already arranged better positions, and the rest are not suitable and do not have enough conditions to compete.

Li Shimin has been suppressing this vacancy, and does not want to let go of officials from other factions who are qualified for this position, so the position of the third-rank leader of the secretary supervisor has been vacant for a long time.

It is not an exaggeration for a full-time official of the fifth rank to jump directly from the upper and lower ranks of the fourth rank to the level of the third rank in one breath.

This time it is not as before with a fourth-rank rank and a fifth-rank real job. Wei Zheng is assigned a third-rank doctor Guanglu this time, and is sitting in a third-rank real power position, and the rank corresponds exactly to the actual rank.

If this alone will not dazzle people, let alone short-circuit the brains of many people, what is even more powerful and confusing is that the emperor assigned another very important, equally vacant and higher-level position to Wei Zheng.

Now it's all right, one from the position of the real power faction of the third rank, and another position of the third rank that is more than ten times more powerful. The power of the faction became the biggest winner in an instant!

This doctor Yushitai is a high-level position that people love and hate. He is a third-rank official. He uses laws and regulations to correct the crimes of officials. Here is already the pinnacle of the most!
All civil and military officials are under the supervision of the imperial historian, even the emperor's words and deeds have the right to impeach him, because he offends people too much, so many factions don't want to fight for it.

This errand is completely opposite to the fierce competition and vacancy of the chief secretary. This is an errand that is outrageously advanced and powerful enough to scare people away!
Everyone was completely disrupted by the emperor's arrangement. Many people were confused, and they were quickly guessing what the emperor meant by this move.
When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned, only the civil and military officials of the former hidden prince's faction were filled with joy.

It is all because Wei Zheng's previous position as a fifth-rank official was already the leader of the former hidden prince's faction. Because he was on the wrong team, these dozens of civil and military officials with outstanding abilities were severely suppressed.
