Three whips break the father-son relationship, please call me prince

Chapter 326: One Prime Minister and Eight Vice Prime Ministers
Li Daozon handled the situation with ease. He could both kill and scare people.

After all, he has a lot of freedom to weigh.

But it’s different in other places.

There is absolutely no such status as him.

By the time Li Daozon had dealt with Changqing County, news came from other places.

There were bloody conflicts in two places, and the government soldiers actually carried out the order to quell the rebellion.

"waste."

Li Dao Zong cursed, "Everyone is wearing armor, and there are still casualties."

"I think the soldiers are really slacking off in their training. Do they think of themselves as farmers?"

As the Grand Commander of the Imperial Army, he was in charge of the training of hundreds of thousands of imperial soldiers throughout the country.

However, they were faced with a group of unruly people and such casualties occurred.

It was such a disgrace to him.

"Uncle Wang, you have to think positively. Under the general environment, the military's ideology is 'loyalty to the emperor and love for the people'. It is normal for them to be somewhat restrained when facing some civilians."

Li Zhi was more open-minded and said, "Fortunately, there are only a few people, it's not that serious."

"But I didn't expect that those families actually hid armor and powerful crossbows."

"If you are mixed in with them, you can't predict what will happen."

The bloody conflict between the two counties was led by the Lu family and the Zheng family.

The situation on the Lu family is the most serious, much more severe than that on the Zheng family.

"I should go to the Lu family." Li Dao Zong said.

"You can't go."

Li Zhi said casually, Li Daozon was startled, and immediately thought of something.

If he went to the Lu family, this kind of thing would never happen.

But is this what King Jin wants?
Or is it what Changan wants?
"Wang Jingzhi is here too."

"Uncle Wang, the government is about the same."

"It's those families' turn now."

Li Zhi stretched and said, "You have the list in your hands."

"Catch them all."

"it is good!"

After Wang Jingzhi arrived, Li Zhi's actions became much faster.

With Qizhou as the center and radiating to several states, the government soldiers were dispatched to arrest all the direct descendants of the families on the list.

In just half a month, the entire Henan Province was in a state of panic, with everyone seeing enemies as enemies.

Countless families were trembling in fear, fearing that one day the government soldiers would come and arrest the entire family.

"I can't spend the Spring Festival in Chang'an this year."

Li Zhi sighed, "It's time for the grand court meeting to end."

"The 24th year of Zhenguan has arrived. I don't know what this year will be like."

He continued to bury his head in writing the memorial.

Report the progress in Qizhou to Chang'an.

"Your Highness, take a look at this."

Li Daozon walked quickly into the room and handed Li Zhi a newspaper from the Tang Empire.

Li Zhi was shocked when he saw it.

"The Holy Emperor inspected the Imperial Guards during the Spring Festival and responded to issues of concern to the Imperial Guards."

"The soldiers of the Imperial Guards are deeply concerned and worried about the plight of the Ning family and their daughter, the widows of the heroic widows of Qizhou. The Holy Emperor has issued important instructions that no widow of a heroic widow will be treated unfairly, and the heroic spirits will never be disappointed..."

Li Zhi's hands were shaking. This was a serious problem.

too big.

This year it finally broke out.

It was published on the front page during the Spring Festival.

There are too many signals revealed.

The most important point is that all the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty army are paying close attention to the incident involving Ning's mother and daughter.

If there is no proper and satisfactory arrangement for the Ning mother and daughter.

Let all soldiers see justice.

What would be shaken is the entire system of heroes and martyrs.

The Holy Emperor will never allow this system to be questioned in any way.

"check!"

"Investigate with unprecedented force."

"No matter who it is, we will investigate it thoroughly."

Li Zhi said in a deep voice: "Don't worry about any impact, don't worry about that much."

"Uncle Wang."

"If we can't do it well this time, not only will my title of prince be at risk, I'm afraid you won't be able to get through it either."

Why is Li Daozon so anxious?

Of course I understood it.

The imperial guards are so concerned, what about the other standing troops?

Thinking hard!
……

Changan.

Li Chengqian felt a little tired.

Many ministers were absent from this year's grand court meeting.

The burden fell on him.

Li Shimin did not care about political affairs and delegated power to him.

I beat Li Shimin throughout the whole process.

Li Chengqian supported his forehead and rubbed his temples to soothe his nerves.

Things are not over yet, so he can only bear it on his own.

Now the issue of the Imperial Guards has come up again.

The whole government was shocked, especially Li Shimin, who was furious when he returned to Taiji Palace after making a solemn statement to the imperial guards.

Military morale and prestige are the lifeblood of Li Shimin.

The emergence of such fluctuations and doubts not only affected combat effectiveness, but most importantly dealt a blow to Li Shimin's military morale and prestige.

"Your Highness."

Di Renjie walked in quickly at this time, and seeing the prince's tired look, he was very worried.

"Cui Silang is here."

"Invite him in."

"Yes!"

Cui Dunli walked into the hall cautiously. After more than two months, he finally walked out of his own mansion.

He was not allowed to participate in the grand court meeting, and he was terrified at the time.

I thought my future in this life was over.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince..." "No need to be polite."

Li Chengqian perked up and said, "Sit down."

"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness."

Cui Dunli sat up straight and respectfully, his expression very respectful and serious.

"I asked you to come here today, so I will get straight to the point."

Li Chengqian said: "Prince Jin has already reported to the court on the Qizhou case."

"We have roughly checked it out and are also wrapping it up."

"However, the court is still discussing how to deal with it."

Cui Dunli immediately said: "Your Highness, I, the Cui family, absolutely do not..."

Li Chengqian interrupted with a wave of his hand, saying, "I know, but a distant branch of your Cui family is involved."

"You, Cui, have a crime that is difficult to escape."

Cui Dunli remained silent, feeling extremely resentful in his heart that a distant branch had committed such a disaster and had implicated the main branch.

"I am willing to be punished." Cui Dunli had no choice but to express his opinion.

Li Chengqian did not comment, but took out a memorial from the pile on the table. Di Renjie stepped forward to take it and quickly handed it to Cui Dunli.

"have a look."

After Cui Dunli unfolded it, he was shocked and couldn't believe it, "Lu's family is so deeply involved?"

"The Lu family was the one who led the arson of the state embezzlement and abuse of the martyrs' widows, and they were also the ones who embezzled the martyrs' pensions and monopolized the martyrs' preferential treatment..."

"How dare you use force to resist the imperial court and attempt rebellion..."

"this……."

The Lu family could not afford the mere fact that the governor set the fire, even if it was a distant branch.

Not to mention the later stories about heroes and treason.

There were other evil deeds, but they were not as serious as these three days of crime.

"What do you think?" Li Chengqian asked.

Cui Dunli said sternly: "This is extremely treasonous and too cruel."

"Lu's behavior is intolerable."

Li Chengqian smiled, stood up to relax his body, took a few steps, and said, "The court is preparing to deal with the Fanyang Lu family."

"what do you think?"

The Lu family of Qizhou and the Lu family of Fanyang are simply not on the same level.

In order to deal with the Fanyang Lu family, joint efforts are needed from all parties.

Especially if other families want to get involved, we must at least make them shut up and remain silent.

After all, the relationships among aristocratic families are intricately linked.

Move the whole body.

Li Chengqian used the Lu family of Qizhou to move against the Lu family of Fanyang. As long as it was not excessive, there was nothing to say.

But he was thinking too much.

Of course Cui Dunli understood.

The prince is preparing to take action against the Lu family of Fanyang, and he wants to uproot them completely.

He didn't know how to answer for a moment.

Li Chengqian did not talk about this matter anymore, but changed the subject and said, "Duke Liang submitted his resignation to the two palaces twice in a row."

"But neither palace has given its permission, and the Ministry of Chancellery cannot do without Duke Liang."

Hear the words.

Cui Dunli was shocked.

Fang Xuanling retired. Was this his responsibility for the Qizhou case?

"But considering that what Duke Liang said is true, the Shangshu Province has an overall view of the political affairs of the country, with a wide range of affairs and great power concentrated in one person."

"Duke Liang is indeed old and it is difficult for him to take care of everything."

Li Chengqian bent down and looked at the stove in the hall. The fire was burning well and emitting heat. He said, "So, the court has decided to reform the Shangshu Province."

"The positions of left and right ministers will be abolished, and a prime minister will be appointed to oversee all the affairs of the Secretariat, and eight vice-prime ministers will be appointed to be responsible for special affairs and assist the prime minister in handling the affairs of the Secretariat."

Cui Dunli's pupils suddenly widened, and his heart was filled with turmoil.

The reform of the Secretariat has brought about tremendous impact.

Originally, the Shangshu Province was composed of the Left and Right Pushe, with the Left Pushe being the senior and the Right Pushe being the deputy.

Now the prime minister is the most respected, and there are eight deputy prime ministers.

"The Secretariat was also upgraded to the second rank, the Prime Minister was upgraded to the second rank, and the eight deputy prime ministers were upgraded to the second rank."

Li Chengqian's words shocked Cui Dunli again.

The original Shangshu Province was of the second rank, and the left and right Pushe were also of the second rank.

But there are only two positions.

With this promotion, Zuo Pushe became the prime minister, a second-rank official, a truly powerful position.

It doesn’t matter if You Pushe didn’t get promoted.

Because there were seven additional second-rank officials.

Cui Dunli thought of many things at once.

The prince would not say this to him without meaning.

But what is the meaning of this?

That is, he may be one of the eight deputy prime ministers.

How long does it take to advance from the third rank to the second rank?
Cui Dunli is not without ambition, but he did not expect that it would come so early.

His breathing suddenly became rapid.

What does it take to become the vice prime minister?
"Your Highness, minister..."

Li Chengqian said casually: "You studied at the Hanlin Academy, so it's not an exaggeration to say that you are a disciple of the emperor."

"Although I have received instruction from the Holy Emperor, I dare not regard myself as his disciple," Cui Dunli said hurriedly.

"It's okay if you dare. The Holy Emperor admires you very much, and I also value you."

Li Chengqian said: "Although your work in the General Information Department has its flaws, it is not without merit."

"Although you are temporarily at home because of the incident in Qizhou, and the affairs of the department are in charge of Li Yifu, you are also a good leader."

"It's time to upgrade."

Cui Dunli felt a surge of blood rushing to his forehead. His Highness has promised it.

He immediately prostrated himself and said, "I am willing to serve Your Highness at all costs."

"Well, after you go down, go back to the News Headquarters. You are still responsible for the publicity of the Qizhou incident."

Cui Dunli understood.

The prince implied that whether he could become the vice prime minister depended on how he treated the Lu family of Fanyang.

"Huaiying, go and call Yang Shidao over."

When Cui Dunli heard this, he quickened his pace.

The Lu family of Fanyang will definitely be wiped out.

The prince offered seven deputy prime minister positions of the second rank, and Fanyang Lu would have to die anyway.
