Chapter 48 Precise surgical treatment of Pei Xiang
At Li Zhiyun's signal, Gao Liangzhong nodded and took two steps forward.
"quiet!"
In an instant, the quarrel in the palace stopped and everyone looked at the emperor, waiting for his decision.
Li Zhiyun said calmly: "Cen Wenwen did not govern Luozhou well, which caused the people of Luozhou to suffer plague disasters for no reason, and their families were destroyed. This is a fact and cannot be doubted. What you asked is reasonable, and I deeply believe it."
The ministers headed by Pei Ju had smiles on their faces.
Immediately afterwards, the emperor suddenly changed the topic and said: "But the plague is really a natural disaster and cannot be resisted by human power. I think that Cen Wenwen has made mistakes, but they are not heinous. After repeated consideration, I decided to move Cen Wenwen to be the governor of Weizhou.
.
Luozhou, where the capital of the East is located, cannot be governed by non-officials. Pei Shiqing, the governor of Jiangzhou, has been very effective in governing the country. He is conscientious and has achieved great results through his hard work. Since his appointment, Pei Shiqing has been appointed as the governor of Luozhou to rule it!"
Wow!
The ministers were suddenly a little confused.
Pei Ju's expression changed even more. He didn't want the governor of Luozhou. What he wanted was to push Pei Shiqing into the political hall before he died.
So, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if you do this, you may not be able to convince the public."
Pei Ju said these words in front of the civil and military personnel of Taiji Hall, which shows that he has become impatient.
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun looked at Pei Ju with a half-smile.
"Mr. Pei, I feel that Cen Wenwen cannot solve the problem in Luozhou, but Pei Shiqing and Zheng Shanguo can definitely stop the plague by joining forces. What do you think?"
Facing the emperor's meaningful words, Pei Ju's face turned pale instantly. Thinking that Zheng Shanguo had not obtained the expected position, a strong uneasiness emerged in his heart.
Could it be that the emperor knew everything?
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhiyun said again: "Zheng Shanguo also promised me this."
This sentence broke Pei Ju's last psychological defense. He was now absolutely sure that the plague had been exposed and the Zheng family had been captured by the emperor.
So, the plan between myself and Zheng...
Thinking of this, Pei Ju was trembling all over. When the plague was exposed, what kind of image would Pei have become in the emperor's heart?
It’s over!
"Pei Gong, do you still have any opinions?"
Pei Ju's ears were buzzing and he couldn't hear the emperor's question. He was now in absolute panic.
The emperor knew that the plague was related to the Pei family, which meant that the Pei family had no room for advancement during Li Zhiyun's reign.
In fact, the Pei family will face extremely severe suppression from the court in the future.
What is even more frightening is that if the emperor angers Concubine Pei Xian and the sixth prince Li Chengying in the harem because of the Pei family, then the Pei family will completely lose hope in the next fifty years.
Until now, Pei Ju finally realized that he had done a stupid thing. He thought that Du Ruhui and Xue Shou could directly rise from governor to prime minister, so Pei Shiqing could also take the opportunity to do the same.
"puff!"
For no reason, Pei Ju spurted out blood and passed out on the spot.
"Mr. Pei!"
"Prime Minister Pei!"
"Pass on the Royal Physician!"
Seeing Pei Ju spitting out a mouthful of blood, Li Zhiyun's expression was indifferent. Only then did he realize that he was afraid. Wasn't it too late?
Using the people as a tool for political fighting is the stupidest decision you have ever made!
Du Ruhui narrowed his eyes slightly. Pei Ju's performance was somewhat beyond his expectation, but with his wisdom, he had already thought of something.
The plague was caused by the Zheng family, but it was Pei Ju's people who repeatedly impeached Cen Wenwen.
It seems that Pei Ju and Zheng have joined forces.
Pei Ju was involved in the Luozhou plague this time and definitely contributed a lot.
And Your Majesty already knows what happened, so what he said just now should be a hint.
There are many smart people in the palace who are suspicious, and there are also idiots who think that Pei Ju's body simply cannot bear it.
In any case, the court meeting was over. Li Zhiyun ordered the guards to carry Pei Ju, who was bleeding and unconscious, back to his house.
After the dispersion of the dynasty, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou accompanied the emperor to Wude Hall.
Halfway through, seeing that the two of them were worried, Li Zhiyun said, "Are you suspicious?"
Du Ruhui and Xue Shou looked at each other and nodded immediately. The former said respectfully: "To be honest with you, Your Majesty, I am really confused."
"Hey." Li Zhiyun smiled and said jokingly: "Keming, you are too careful. With your intelligence, you must have figured out that Pei Ju is related to the plague in Luozhou."
"I'm just suspicious." Du Ruhui quickly explained.
There are some things that he really doesn't dare to ask too much about, because the emperor is always the emperor. As long as the emperor doesn't take the initiative to tell him, he will never ask too many questions.
He knows too much about this kind of political killing, and sometimes it becomes a burden. Du Ruhui knows very well that his advantage lies in the words "Jian is in the heart of the emperor".
The same goes for Xue Shou on the other side.
For the two of them, this kind of dirty political killing has nothing to do with people's governance, foreign affairs, or military affairs. They cannot ask the emperor casually.
Because this is not making suggestions, but provoking the imperial power.
They wouldn't do such stupid things.
No matter how much the emperor trusted them.
Li Zhiyun stopped and said with emotion: "I still miss the time when we were in the study room of Prince Chu's Mansion. You and I talked endlessly about everything."
He couldn't help feeling a little sad. Now he and Du Ruhui and others were still estranged due to the change of status.
Although he didn't want to see this, there was nothing he could do about it.
Because he is the emperor, the lord of the world who rules the eight wastelands and six places, and when it comes to power, no one can point fingers in front of him.
Although he was very pleased that Du Ruhui and Xue Shou were sensible, he was also a little disappointed.
Xue Chou said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I and Prime Minister Du have never concealed anything from your Majesty in government affairs."
"I know." Li Zhiyun looked at the majestic imperial city, "I know that you have your considerations, and I also have mine."
Seeing the emperor expressing his emotions, Du Ruhui said softly: "Although I am stupid, I know your majesty's painstaking efforts. There are some things that your majesty just needs to do your best. No matter what, I will always advance and retreat with your majesty."
Hearing this, Li Zhiyun chuckled.
"As expected, you can still make me feel at ease. Pei Ju, an old minister..." At this point, Li Zhiyun sighed heavily, "What a shame! You are already old, why bother? Does he think that I
Will Mr. Pei be treated badly?
How stupid!"
Hearing this, Du Ruhui and Xue Shou looked at each other and understood.
As expected, Pei Ju colluded with the Zheng family, and Pei Ju was involved in the Luozhou plague.
Xue Shou asked: "Your Majesty, I feel that no matter what Mr. Pei has done, he is an important minister in the two dynasties. If possible, it is better to make him more dignified. I heard that your Majesty still wants to give Mr. Pei some face."
"Of course I am willing to give him dignity, but what if he doesn't want to show dignity himself?" Li Zhiyun asked.
"Then help him look decent." Du Ruhui said coldly.
Although when it comes to political struggles, the attributes of right and wrong are weakened. But using evil deeds like the plague is undoubtedly challenging the bottom line of being a human being.
It can be said that Pei Ju has no bottom line when it comes to the Luozhou plague.
There is no need to talk about decency when dealing with people who have no bottom line.
To give him dignity is just to take credit for his past achievements.
Li Zhiyun nodded and said: "After this incident, Mr. Pei is afraid that he will be ill for a while. Over there at the Political Affairs Hall, you should pay more attention. You have worked hard. It is the new year and there is a disaster again. I feel very guilty. I hope you will be more patient."
be magnanimous."
"Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will never let you down."
