Chapter 78 Drive the tiger and swallow the wolf (two in one)(1/2)
Zhang said that he did not live badly in the prison of the Censorate.
After all, it is not the dark Wu Zetian period. At that time, those who entered Taiwan prison would have to lose their skin even if they did not die. Even a great man like Di Renjie had to be obedient.
But it is precisely because of the dark period before that the current Censorate is reluctant to act and dare not open prisons randomly.
Zhang said that he had a special identity, he was the prime minister of the current dynasty and was also the Wenzong of Shilin.
Although there is no such thing as a literati and a doctor in this era, he did not dare to openly tell Zhang that such a person was punished.
However, Yu Wenrong hated Zhang Shuo to the core and was trying every means to make Zhang Shuo have no place to turn over.
On the one hand, he looked at the reactions of Li Longji and Shilin, and on the other hand, he was also looking for evidence of the crime. In short, he took advantage of Zhang Shuo's weakness of being irritable and unpopular, put him under house arrest and did not contact outsiders. No one knew what Zhang Shuo was doing.
But in fact, Zhang said that in addition to restricting freedom, food and accommodation are OK.
On the contrary, during the months of detention, Zhang Shuo also wanted to understand some truths.
Gao Lishi visited Zhang under the order of Li Longji, and naturally no one dared to stop him.
Zhang said that as an important official of the court, he often met the saints and was very familiar with Gao Lishi, who was always inseparable from Li Longji.
Seeing that Zhang said he was in good spirits, Gao Lishi chatted with him for a few words and brought Li Longji's greetings.
Zhang said he responded politely.
But Gao Lishi had already seen the little bit of resentment, and could also understand Zhang Shuoji's mood in his heart.
After this, Zhang said it was difficult to get into the center of power.
After all, there is a situation where everyone is pushing people. Zhang said that if he still serves as the Secretary of the Central Committee and takes charge of major affairs in the court, how can those civil officials who take the blame for the wrongdoing?
Gao Lishi did not stay in Taiwan prison for too long and returned to Xingqing Palace.
Li Longji was having a great time talking to his new favorite king. When he saw Gao Lishi coming, he asked with a smile: "General Gao, how is Zhang Qing's situation?"
Gao Lishi sighed softly and said, "Mr. Zhang is covered in disheveled head and his face is full of dirt. He doesn't look like a generation of Wenzong. When the old slave went there, he was sitting on the haystack in panic and fear waiting for His Majesty's punishment."
Li Longji was stunned when he heard this, and his heart felt inexplicably soft. He thought of Princess Taiping's relationship with court officials, interfering in court affairs, planning to depose the prince, and even using the words of the alchemist, implying that Li Longji would enter the palace to force the emperor within five days.
Li Dan was frightened and even asked the palace guards to be prepared.
It was Zhang Shuo who risked his life to advise him at this subtle time: "This slanderous man intends to shake the father-son relationship between the Eastern Palace and Your Majesty. If Your Majesty asks the prince to supervise the country, the ruler and his subjects will be divided, and naturally he will be blind and will not have any disaster."
It was Zhang Shuo who boldly turned against the enemy and turned against Princess Taiping's army, which allowed him to supervise the country, hold some power, and fight against Taiping.
It was also for the sake of Li Dan's abdication and made a good start.
In that era, Liu Youqiu and Zhang Shuo were his Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.
Now that Liu Youqiu has passed away for many years, Zhang Shuo?
Li Longji was an emotional king with a strong sense of compassion and said, "I can't bear to do this for Zhang Qing. I passed my order and pardoned Zhang Shuo, dismissed the position of the Secretary of the Central Secretariat, the right prime minister, and the bachelor's position in Jixian Academy remained unchanged."
Wang Wenyan, who was beside him, hated him deeply, but he didn't dare to say anything more.
In this feudal era, the emperor had the right to pardon anyone.
When he returned to his mansion, before the king's butt was hot, Cui Yinfu and Yuwen Rong came to him.
The king was also angry and asked in a slight manner, "What's going on? Let you not treat Zhang Shuo badly for the time being. After this storm, he collected enough evidence of his crime and exposed it to His Majesty, and he hit it with one blow. Now, his Majesty felt compassion and directly pardoned Zhang Shuo. With Zhang Shuo's talent and knowledge, he might be back again. The day when he recovered is the day when we go home to farm."
Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong cursed, their faces a little ugly.
They are all old and important ministers, and they really look down on villains like Wang in their hearts, but Wang is so happy to Li Longji.
Without Wang's efforts, it was impossible for them to deal with him. Zhang Shuo, a big guy licked his old face and got along with Wang.
Wang didn't care about that much. In his eyes, he now had an extraordinary status. Cui Yinfu and Yuwen Rong were just carrying shoes for him. He sprayed as much as he should and said, without any scruples.
Yuwen Rong's heart is not inconsistent.
Cui Yinfu smiled and said with a smile: "This Wang Taifuqing is wronged us. How can we not know this basic principle? We did not treat Zhang Shuo badly. I really don't know why His Majesty suddenly thought of arranging Eunuch Gao to see Zhang Shuo, and he would not have even issued a special amnesty order."
Wang remembered Gao Lishi's actions today and his expression was solemn.
No one in this court dared to offend Gao Lishi.
Even Li Linfu, who was at his peak in history, dared not.
"You are sure that you didn't treat Zhang Shuo unfairly?"
After getting the exact answer, Wang also briefly explained what happened today.
Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong also changed color one after another, and instantly realized that the person who saved Zhang was actually Gao Lishi.
"Eunuch Gao, why did you come to this muddy water for no reason?" Cui Yinfu's voice changed a little.
Yuwen Rong said with some fear: "If Eunuch Gao really wants to save Zhang Shuo, she won't wait until today. She took action as early as when Zhang Shuo was imprisoned. It must be because someone has persuaded Eunuch Gao in the near future that Eunuch Gao would have rescued him."
"Who is it?" Wang Zhui asked, a trace of harshness flashed in his eyes. For the sake of becoming the leader, he even framed his benefactor, so who else dared not move?
Zhang Shuo despised him for being a human being, but he did not let him take charge of Taifu Temple. He was extremely guilty and someone dared to make trouble on Tai Sui's head.
Live impatiently!
"Pei!"
Yuwen Rong said a person's name.
The pupils in the king's eyes shrank and he said in a lost voice: "No way!"
His expression was a little out of control, and his confidence was gone.
During this period when he became Li Longji's confidant, Wang had heard Pei's name from Li Longji many times, and often sighed that Pei was not by his side.
If it weren't for the rumors that Li Longji's taste was normal and he was not as good as a man, he would even give Wang a feeling that they were a couple.
But this also made Wang clear that Pei's status in Li Longji's heart is not comparable to Gao Lishi, but he is not comparable to that of him.
"Tenth**!" Yu Wen Rong said with a point of view: "Zhang Shuo is irritable, his subordinates do something wrong and do not do well. At the least, he scolds, and scolds them at the worst, regardless of their face. When he asked for crime, everyone under his command was unwilling to take the risk to save them, and some even secretly became secretly happy. Zhang Shuo's brother Zhang Guang asked for help everywhere, but no one was willing to stand up. Recently, Zhang Guang disappeared. According to the news I received, Zhang Guang went north. Only Pei could tell Gao Lishi to rescue him in the north."
"Zhang said that he was the Emperor Wenzong of Shilin, and Pei was also recognized as a generation of Emperor Wenzong of Shilin. In the past, His Majesty, Taishan Fengshan, was in contact with Pei, who was in harmony with the safety along the way. It was natural for him to come forward to help."
"asshole!"
The king cursed, "I have no grudges and grudges with him, but he actually ruined my good deeds."
Yuwen Rong sighed: "You and I are afraid you are powerless to do anything about this matter. Pei is a man of great military achievements. No one from the court has ever been involved in his civil and military achievements, and he has also possessed the merits of following the dragon. Since he entered the officialdom, he has been trusted and respected by His Majesty. For more than ten years, he has been out of the war, holding the military power of the four towns. He is the most powerful border commander in our dynasty. We are not worthy of carrying shoes with him."
The king knew in his heart and was speechless for a long time.
Yuwen Rong continued: "Anyway, Taifuqing should be careful. Pei Shuai is not like Zhang Shuo. His connections and prestige cannot be compared with each other. You should offend a hundred Zhang Shuo, and you should not offend a Pei."
The king still didn't say anything.
Yu Wenrong was nagging like an old woman: "Pei is a man with a strong personality, born in the martial arts world, has few rivals in the world, and has the loyalty of a gangster. He likes to stand up for his friends the most. Today we talked to him that after he returns to the court in the future, he will definitely investigate the reasons. At that time, we must deal with it carefully and not anger him."
The more Wang listened, the less uncomfortable he felt, and he was in a state of anxiety. He was obviously targeted. Pei had provoked him for no reason, so he swallowed his anger, but he still had to worry about his future revenge?
Is there any law of the Heavenly Rule?
Thinking that I am a turtle, I just shrank my head?
Wang snorted, "I really think I am from the mud? If Pei just left this, even if he was more and more arrogant, he would know that if I can have today, I would not be a futile reputation."
He thought that he might not be as good as that, wasn’t he still had a killer weapon?
No matter how favored Pei is, can he compare to the wind by his pillow?
Yuwen Rong stopped talking, and praised Wang's stinky feet and left with Cui Yinfu.
Yuwen Rong and Cui Yinfu's home were not far away, so when Ben was back.
But after the two of them turned the street, Yu Wenrong said goodbye to Cui Yinfu.
Cui Yinfu looked at the direction of Yuwen Rong leaving and showed a knowing smile.
It doesn't matter to you. As an old official, he understands many things, but he knows better that he can't say them.
Yuwen Rong went directly to Li Yuan's mansion.
"Li Xiang!"
Yu Wenrong respectfully greeted Li Yuan.
It is not possible to live in the temple except for other lonely officials.
And because of the concept, many people will inevitably come together.
Just like Li Yuan and Yu Wen Rong.
Li Yuan and Yuwen Rong are not treacherous. Yuwen Rong's achievements have been shown in the previous article and are a cadre official.
The second prime minister Li Yuan was also an amazing good person, cautious and honest. When he was young, he was first appointed as the military officer of Jingzhou. Later, he served as the military officer of Yongzhou. He was a good county magistrate and a famous Sima of Runzhou. He was outstanding in political achievements and was quite famous. Later, he was transferred to Chang'an to serve as the county magistrate of Wannian County. He was known for his taxes and service, and was promoted to Jingzhao Yin, and was in charge of the dredging of rivers and canals in the Sanfu territory.
At that time, the princes and nobles all built mills on the canal shore so that the canal water could not flow into the lower reaches of the people's fields. Li Yuan ordered officials to demolish them, so that the people's fields could be irrigated, and they were praised by the people.
In the 13th year of Kaiyuan, Yang and Bai Zhishen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, were demoted to the governor for dereliction of duty. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang asked the ministers and ministers to recommend officials who could take over the Ministry of Revenue.
The officials unanimously elected Li Yuan, which shows that Li Yuan's official voice is indeed extraordinary.
Both of them did a lot of things for the Tang Dynasty and the people.
However, Li Yuan and Yuwen Rong were not interested in wars, and felt that foreign wars were useless and costly to the people and money, and it was meaningless.
