Chapter 626: She Sikong

  Chapter 626 She Sikong

   Above the Golden Temple.

The officials all knelt quietly in the hall. Xiao Yu was not the first person to impeach Qin Lang, and it was not even the first time to impeach Qin Lang, but whether it was Xiao Yu or Hou Junji, or Tang Jian, Zheng Yuanxuan and the others were all high-ranking and important ministers, but no one had ever been able to move Qin Lang easily.

  Qin Sanlang is in the heart of the emperor, who doesn't know how important it is.

Hou Junji was the emperor's good friend when he was young. When the emperor was Li Erlang, the second son of Tang Guogong's mansion, Hou Junji, Xu Luoren, Qiao Gui, and Duan Xiong were already the emperor's good friends. They were called Mo The four old people in the house, this relationship is not ordinary iron, they are Li Shimin's confidantes and close friends since he was young.

  At the beginning of the Taiyuan uprising, these four people were the most trustworthy around Li Shimin. The four of them basically stayed by Li Shimin's side all the time, experienced all of Li Shimin's wars, and only during the Xuanwumen Incident, the other three were sent out, leaving only Hou Junji a chance to stay.

And Hou Junji did not disappoint Li Shimin at the critical moment of Xuanwumen. He undertook the most secret and important task in the whole incident, and he was the first to kill Li Yuan's palace and rob Li Yuan. This is the most dangerous and important thing. Li Shimin handed over the first step to Hou Junji, which showed his trust in him.

   Afterwards, Li Shimin and Hou Junji did not publicize this secret mission and credit, but Hou Junji was still rated as the first contributor. In the past few years, Hou Junji's official career has been prosperous, his fortune has been rising, he has not fought a decent battle, but he can become the prime minister and take charge of the military department. The most important reason is that he is the most trusted person around the emperor.

   It’s like Xu Luoren and other three friends. Although they were transferred to other posts during the Xuanwumen incident, Xu Luoren and others were immediately transferred back to Beijing after the incident. Xu Luoren was also directly given the important task of commanding the Xuanwumen camp. For many years, Xu Luoren and others have always served as Li Shimin's confidant bodyguards, leading Li Shimin's most trusted bodyguards.

Hou Junji was lucky, he made great contributions to the Xuanwu Sect, so Li Shimin mentioned him step by step as Minister of the Ministry of War and participated in political affairs, but he failed to impeach Qin Lang twice, not only failed to impeach Qin Lang last time, but also The emperor directly left him to Longyou, gave him the title of participating in political affairs, and gave him the title of minister of the Ministry of War.

   At this time, Xiao Yu actually dared to impeach Qin Lang directly, which made all the officials admire.

But many people feel that this time, the impeachment will not be done. After all, everyone has heard the reward given to Qin Lang by the emperor just now. top.

Normally, Li Jing's meritorious service, such as Changsun Wuji's confidants, were only added to Kaifu Yitong Sansi, who was the highest in the Wen San rank, but the emperor awarded Qin Lang the highest Hussar general in the Wu San rank. After that, he was given Kaifu Yitong Sansi, what a favor.

  Xiao Yu impeached Qin Lang for many crimes. He used the opportunity of leading the army to fight and colluded with the party. In the name of recommendation, he planted party members. Conquer Tuyuhun and kill innocent people indiscriminately. He also divided up property privately, took the opportunity to embezzle treasures, and even forcibly abused the daughter of Tuyuhun Khan, the daughter of the famous king Yifu Abao, and raped her as a concubine. In addition, there are also a bunch of crimes such as Qin Lang raising his adopted son privately, using power for personal gain, and so on.

  Xiao Yu even pointed out sternly at the end that Qin Lang had formed a Qin Party, and many people in the court had joined this Qin Party, and many generals in the army had also become partisans...

"enough!"

   Li Shimin blushed suddenly and shouted angrily.

   Let Xiao Yu go on talking, probably he will say that the Qin Party is a princeling, and may even include Changsun Wuji in it.

   Li Shimin has long been aware of these things that Xiao Yu impeached. He has the three major intelligence agencies, the Zhenfu Division, the Baiqi Division, and the Dianzhong Division. How could he not even know about these things?

   In fact, nothing can be hidden from the emperor's eyes and ears.

  However, Li Shimin is still very clear that many of Xiao Yu's impeachments are too alarmist, and many of Qin Lang's actions, although some cross the line, are not a big deal.

  The most important point, Li Shimin didn't believe that Qin Lang was rebellious at all.

  For him, as long as Qin Lang doesn't feel rebellious, the other minor details are not a big deal. Whether it was Hou Junji's impeachment of Qin Lang's treachery in Longyou, arbitrarily mobilizing troops, or privately intercepting the state government's taxes, or if it was a private loan transaction with a businessman, or private distribution of spoils, etc., these are not big things.

  Qin Lang planned the war on the front line, everything was for the convenience of the battle, and he did win the battle in the end, so there is no need to delve into these small details.

  What the emperor needs is someone who does things, not someone who takes everything seriously and ends up failing in everything.

  The main problem of Xiao Yu's impeachment against Qin Lang is clique formation, but Li Shimin is also very clear that the imperial courts of all dynasties have always prohibited the formation of cliques for personal gain, but it is impossible to truly prohibit such things as cliques.

   People are divided into groups, and things of a feather flock together.

   At any time, there will be this kind of crony problem. As long as the extent is seen and the boundary is not crossed, the emperor can only turn a blind eye and close his eyes.

  It's like being in the imperial court, the scholars must be in the same pot as the generals, and there are naturally two schools of civil and military. And by region, it can also be divided into Guanlong, Shandong, Jiangnan, etc. In short, the officials in the palace can be divided into more than a dozen circles according to different methods, but as long as they are all loyal to the emperor, Li Shimin will not go too deep into it.

  He also came here in the same way back then, and he also had his own King Qin Party.

   Now, although Qin Lang said that he was getting closer to the upstarts in Shandong, he couldn't explain anything. As long as their actions did not exceed the boundaries, Li Shimin would not investigate further.

Xiao Yu is now bringing this up to make an argument, and also said that Qin Lang formed the Qin Party, implying that he was referring to the princeling party. pull in.

  The prince is only less than ten years old, how can there be any princelings.

   It is said that Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji are close to the prince, that is Li Shimin's single-handed push, which is what he hopes to see. He hopes to have such a group of loyal and capable courtiers, who will be close to the prince and cultivate the prince.

  The crown prince is the successor, how can there be no ministers to **** him?

  The emperor is the one who makes the rules, and the rules are for the emperor. Li Shimin understands these things thoroughly and clearly, so when Xiao Yu insisted on impeaching Qin Lang with the court system regulations, Li Shimin actually didn't listen to it at all.

As long as Qin Lang's behavior did not touch the emperor's core bottom line, then with Qin Lang's ability and his achievements, Li Shimin has the heart to be tolerant, because the emperor is a conceited person, and he is not afraid of his subjects crossing the line a little bit Behavior, he has that control.

  So he won't be overly suspicious of his courtiers, and he won't think about finding fault with his courtiers all day long, and he won't take the opportunity to frame meritorious officials. Li Shimin can't do this kind of thing.

He is very clear that his position is not right, and he needs to be a great king, not only to show the Supreme Emperor, but also to show the world, to prove that although he is not in the right position, he can also be an excellent emperor. To prove that he should be the world.

  He will not be Yang Guang, he will be a Mingjun.

  So he needs more people to help, he needs capable officials, and everyone needs to perform their duties.

  The temple is quiet.

   Everyone knows Xiao Yu's stubbornness. He was originally the prime minister of Zhenguan, but in just a few years, he has been dismissed twice for three terms. From Shangshu Zuopushe, to Shangshu Youpushe, and then to Yushi Dafu participating in the government, two strikes and three worships, his temper has not changed in the slightest.

  The first time he was dismissed, he had a dispute with His Majesty Chen Shuda, and finally even got into a fight. The second time, because of hegemony, I had a bad relationship with my colleagues, and because I impeached Li Jing improperly, I was impeached, and I was dismissed as a result.

  The ministers knelt there one by one, and some people were already thinking about it, and it was estimated that Xiao Yu was going to quit his appointment again.

   If you give up again, then Xiao Yu will be the prime minister of the Zhenguan Dynasty three times and three times.

  The emperor yelled angrily, but instead of shutting up, Xiao Yu held up the wat board and continued to impeach Qin Lang's crimes loudly, and even began to say that the emperor was unfair and improper in employing people and so on.

  The more Li Shimin listened to it, the more annoyed he became. This matter had already been called off, but Xiao Yu didn't know the current affairs.

  The emperor yelled to stop several times, but Xiao Yu became more and more energetic as he yelled.

  Li Shimin got up, kicked the overturned case, shook his sleeves and left.

  All the courtiers were left behind, with different expressions there.

the next day.

   There was a decree from the palace that the emperor appointed Prince Xiao Yu as the Taifu, removed the imperial doctor, and no longer participated in the government affairs. As expected, he was dismissed for the third time.

  Emperor ordered Wei Ting to serve as the royal doctor and participate in the government.

  Following these two decrees, there is another decree, which is to order Wei Ting, the new censor doctor, to go to Longyou in person and take full charge of investigating the various charges of impeachment against Qin Lang by Xiao Yu.

  At first, everyone thought that Xiao Yu's impeachment had played a role. After all, the emperor had sent someone to conduct a special investigation.

But who knows, the emperor immediately issued another decree, to use Qin Lang to capture Sikong, build the Daming Palace, shoot Gao Shilian with the right servant of the Shangshu, Wei Ting, the imperial historian, Cen Wenwen, the servant of the Zhongshu, Linghu Defen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, etc. Publish the surname and compile the clan annals.

   And give three thousand pieces of silk.

  After the decree was issued, everyone knew that Wei Ting's investigation was just a formality.

  If you really want to investigate Qin Lang, at this time you will definitely have to withdraw his edict of serving as Minister of the Ministry of War and let Qin Lang wait for the results of the investigation at home, but now not only has the edict not been withdrawn, but because of the reconstruction of the Daming Palace, he has also given a She Sikong.

   The intention is obvious.

  Photo, the meaning of agency, Sikong, one of the three gongs.

  Qin Lang has the title of Prince Taishi, one of the three masters of the East Palace.

  Three divisions and three lords, in the Tang Dynasty, were the most noble first-rank official positions that could sit and discuss with the emperor. Although they had no real power for a long time and were only honorary titles, they were indeed extremely honorable.

  Generally, it is not granted lightly.

  Pei Ji was awarded Sikong, Li Shimin was awarded Taiwei and Situ, and Yuan Ji was awarded Sikong.

  In the Zhenguan Dynasty, Qin Qiong was now Taiwei, Changsun Wuji was Situ, and Gao Shilian was Sikong.

As for the third teacher, Li Shimin respected Bigan as the grand teacher. This Bigan was the uncle of King Zhou of Shang Dynasty. It was obvious that he did not want to confer such an ancient sage as the grand teacher to his subjects easily, so the grand teacher of the third teacher was awarded to Bi Gan Dry, both Taifu and Taibao are vacant.

But Sikong has Gao Shilian, but the emperor gave Qin Lang the responsibility to take charge of Sikong and preside over the construction of the Daming Palace. No matter how you look at it, it seems redundant and unnecessary. Qin Lang was in charge of building the Daming Palace before, and he didn't take charge of Sikong, so it was built well. .

  A She Sikong, temporarily acting as Sikong, can make the whole court understand the emperor's intentions, and the emperor is indeed very good.

  Impeaching Qin Sanlang, even dismissing the two prime ministers Hou Junji and Xiao Yu, Qin Sanlang has nothing to do with him, and even took Sikong into custody. Now the whole court, no one knows Qin Sanlang's true status in the emperor's heart.

   No one can match!

  Originally, some officials who wanted to gain fame by becoming the prime minister Qin Lang by touching porcelain, all gave up that idea one after another.
