Chapter 54 Are you living in the early years of martial arts?
Dugu Mansion.
After returning from the Zhengshitang, Dugucheng was depressed. In the past few years, seeing the changes of the Zhengshitang and the country, he felt very passionate in his heart, but every time he missed the opportunity, or even missed the opportunity.
He had already heard about the corruption of officials in Guanzhong, and the reason why he had never taken any serious measures to punish it was because most of these officials were Guanlong's own people. Secondly, he also wanted to take the opportunity to express his dissatisfaction.
Cause some trouble for the emperor.
But today, he suddenly woke up. The current emperor no longer had to rely on Guanlong people alone. There were other ministers from aristocratic families beside him.
"I'm not saying that you indulge those people too much." Dugu Huaien sipped tea and drew inexplicable patterns on the wall of the tea cup with his fingers, and lectured: "Although the people of Guanlong are not united now, you have the intention to integrate
, but we must act within our capabilities. The Dou family has never responded. The Yu family wants to leave us alone and develop alone.
There is nothing wrong with you taking this opportunity to expand the influence of the Dugu family, but you should not cause trouble to the court.
You should know better than me what kind of person the current emperor is. You have been in the official department for a long time. He emphasizes practical work and despises empty talk, let alone these moths."
"What's the use of talking about this now?" Dugu Cheng rolled his eyes and said dissatisfied: "You don't know my purpose. Tang Jian, Pei Ji, and Pei Ju left three people in a row, but there was no place for us Guanlong people.
If you think about it carefully, among the three of them, Du Ruhui, Xue Shou, and Wen Yanbo, only one is from Guanlong, and the other two are from Bingzhou.
He has made it clear that he is suppressing us."
"After all, Du Ruhui is still from Guanlong." Dugu Huaien said.
Dugu Cheng sneered and said: "That's because Du Ruhui is his late minister, so he naturally believes it. I finally understand that the emperor is still suppressing us Guanlong people. The emperor of the Li family has never changed."
Dugu Huaien frowned slightly and said: "That being said, the capital of the Tang Dynasty is still in Chang'an and Guanzhong, so there is no need to worry so much. Are you worried that the emperor will drive us all out of the court?"
"Don't he have this plan?" Dugu Cheng asked.
Dugu Huaien shook his head and said: "I don't think he does. Dugu Ying has also begun to be reused. Wei Ting, Yu Zhining and others have also been entrusted with important tasks by him and promoted to serve in the central committee. Your Majesty is not what you think,
Don’t think too much about it.”
"Have you been domesticated?" Dugu Cheng asked him unhappily.
"Of course not." Dugu Huaien said: "I just want to tell you that no matter what the emperor does, he can't get around us Guanlong people. As long as you are impeccable, what reason does the emperor have to deal with you?
If you just want to fight for power and gain regardless of the running of the court and the life and death of the people, you will never succeed.
Because in the final analysis, whether you can enter the political hall and whether you can be reused by the emperor does not depend on how many people are behind you, but whether you have the ability. If you are going to twist the people of Guanlong into a rope, and then use this to intimidate the emperor
, taking you as my phase.
Then all I can say is that you will never succeed.
The current emperor even dares to use Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin's old friends, why doesn't he dare to use you?
What's more, we, the Dugu clan, still support his ascension to the throne."
"You mean, you want me to cooperate with him?" Dugu Cheng said thoughtfully.
Dugu Huaien rolled his eyes and explained: "You have to make achievements and let the emperor see your ability and your ability to manage the officials. If you can solve the emperor's troubles, the emperor will not mind solving them for you.
.”
ability?
Speaking of this, Dugu Cheng said dissatisfied: "I have been an official for many years, how can I be incompetent? If I don't compare with others, I am much better than Li Shuliang."
Hearing this, Dugu Huaien didn't want to talk anymore and drank the tea.
"You must deal with Guan Long's matter as soon as possible, otherwise the emperor will be angry and your side will inevitably be implicated."
"I'll try my best. After all, you also know that those people are our friends of the Dugu family. If they are too harsh, they will turn to other families." Dugu became confused.
Dugu Huaien took a deep breath and said: "Wake up, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are investigating together. The one who is investigating is Wei Zheng. Don't you still understand what the emperor means? This is to crack down hard and ruthlessly."
Roughly deal with Guanzhong, so you don’t get implicated."
"I know, I know." Dugu Cheng said: "Don't worry, I will take care of it."
"I hope so." Dugu Huaien didn't have any expectations. When he saw Dugu Cheng's hesitant look, he knew that this matter was difficult.
Within a few days, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling joined forces to cause trouble in Guanzhong. They had soldiers and horses sent by the emperor to help them, and they would arrest and interrogate anyone they suspected.
Don't tell?
Learn about torture.
When Wei Zheng was investigating, due to the frequent use of torture, the tortured officials were in agony. While the investigation was progressing rapidly, the censor of Chang'an was also frantically impeaching Wei Zheng.
In this regard, Li Zhiyun said directly in the court.
Whoever can recover Corrupt Mo's grain and catch the corrupt officials within five days, I will punish Wei Zheng.
Then, there was no more.
No one is a fool who would risk his or her future for someone they have never met. Moreover, the muddy water in Guanzhong is very muddy. There is no emperor as a backer, and there is still an investigation?
It's good if you don't get killed.
Even Dugu Cheng was at a loss what to do and was even in a dilemma.
On one side, there was pressure from the emperor, and on the other side, there was pressure from the officials below. It was quite uncomfortable for him to be caught in the middle.
Seeing Wei Zheng catch it accurately, he panicked.
Wanting to do something, he came to the political hall and found the emperor.
"Your Majesty, I would like to request you to perform a crime and perform a search for your Majesty in Guanzhong."
Li Zhiyun put down his pen and looked at Dugu Cheng indifferently.
You don't even want to call those morons corrupt officials.
"No need, Wei Zheng and Fang Xuanling did a great job, I won't bother you."
"Your Majesty," Dugu Cheng said, "Wei Zheng is a man who likes torture. How can we condone him? I don't know how many officials have been tortured into torture."
The six prime ministers who were handling government affairs almost raised their lips one after another.
Yang Gongren couldn't hold it back anymore. He covered his face with his sleeves and coughed twice.
You idiot, you idiot.
There are idiots in the Dugu family.
Dugu Zhen, you won’t be able to rest in peace even if you die.
Hee hee hee...
Yang Gongren smiled.
There was no movement in Li Zhiyun's eyes, because in his heart, Dugu Cheng was already on the blacklist.
"Since Dugu Aiqing is so confident and has objections to Wei Zheng's investigation methods, it's not like I can't let Aiqing give it a try. But..."
Dugucheng held up his hands and said, "Please give me your Majesty's instructions."
No matter what, he had to protect a group of people, otherwise the Dugu family would be abandoned by those people.
"But, does Aiqing dare to issue a military order?" Li Zhiyun narrowed his eyes.
Military order?
Adult Dugu is also a little confused, why do you need a military order?
"Your Majesty, please clarify."
Li Zhiyun raised his eyebrows and sneered: "This must be made clear, and that must be made clear, what do I want you to do for food?"
Explain it specifically to you?"
Facing the emperor's cynicism, Dugu Cheng's face turned red. He said this because he didn't want to issue a military order, not because he didn't understand what the emperor meant.
Li Zhiyun continued: "Since you don't have the confidence to move forward, then go back and don't mention this matter in front of me again."
If you don’t have the guts to issue a military order, why are you beeping?
Don't take any risks and just ask me to give you a chance to save those moths?
Dugucheng, are you living in the early years of martial arts?
