No matter what serious crimes Feng Deyi committed back then, after all, he has been dead for so many years. Times have changed, and the emperor may not be willing to bear the reputation of a "counterattack and counterattack". Moreover, those things back then were extremely private and could not be disclosed in documents. They could only be spoken of.
According to legend, it is difficult to convict Feng Deyi as most of the parties involved are now dead.
If he can marry the royal family again, it means that the royal family no longer cares about this matter. Since the emperor can forgive the past, how can Yushitai hold on to it?
Although Liu Xiangdao, the imperial censor, was one of the first-class officials in the world and only recognized the law and not people, but looking at the past, Liu Xiangdao's style was a proper "emperor's eagle dog". He would definitely care about the emperor's face and follow the emperor's footsteps.
Due to the superposition of various reasons, although this incident seems to be violent and overwhelming, it may not have great consequences.
Of course, the premise is that the Feng family can marry the royal family, prompting the emperor to release an attitude of "forgiving the past and not pursuing it" to the outside world...
Feng Yandao weighed the pros and cons and said in a deep voice: "I can't come forward in this matter, so I'll let you, Your Highness, handle it. Contact everyone within the clan and the Tai Chi Palace who can use your strength. Don't be stingy with money. We must ensure success."
.In addition, many people in the palace preached the saying that 'there were no traitors and sycophants in the Zhenguan Dynasty, and Taizong's knowledge of people will last forever'."
Since Li Chengqian ascended the throne, the government and the public have begun to praise Emperor Taizong's wisdom and martial arts in various ways, establishing the style of "one emperor through the ages." In fact, Emperor Taizong is indeed a talented and wise man, and his achievements in his life are not inferior to those of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty, which is the most interesting thing.
The truth is that under Taizong's rule, the court was full of justice. During the more than ten years of Zhenguan, there was no treacherous or evil person in the court.
And if Feng Deyi is impeached and convicted, he will be the number one "treacherous traitor" in the Zhenguan Dynasty. Of course, it will be a huge blow to the Feng family, and Emperor Taizong's reputation will also be ruined.
For this reason, the emperor will definitely deal with it and turn the impeachment of Feng Deyi into a major matter and a trivial matter...
After a pause, he warned again: "Don't interact with Princess Fangling, and don't get into trouble."
Princess Huainan blushed and spat: "You don't know what kind of person I am? Are you doubting me by saying this?"
Feng Yandao snorted: "How many of them are born to be smoky and flirty, and do not abide by women's ways? Most of them just take advantage of the situation and it will happen naturally. As the saying goes, those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Meng's mother chose her neighbor to live in.
At that time, Mencius was not tainted with bad habits and his moral character was corrupt."
This bitch has recently gotten close to Princess Fangling, which makes Feng Yandao frightened. These days, chaste and virtuous women are not very important, but Princess Fangling really took her to see the handsome young man who is the best at teasing women.
After a few glasses of wine to get the mood up, and the atmosphere is ambiguous, it may not be possible to maintain the bottom line of women's ethics.
This princess of ours is quite pretty and has a noble status. She is most popular with those bohemian young men who climb flowers and cut willows, and those energetic young men with many tricks are also attracted to such graceful women...
…
"Bah!" Princess Huainan was ashamed and annoyed. She stood up and cursed: "What have you been thinking about all day long? No matter how unbearable I am, I will never discredit your Feng family!"
He twisted his waist and left quickly.
Feng Yandao had no expression on his face, took a sip of tea, thought for a long time, and sighed.
This hurdle may not be easy to overcome...
*****
In both the government and the public, the discussion about Feng Deyi has become more and more intense and has become a trend. Not only the various parties in the Yushitai collected personal and material evidence from the time, but also many rumors were born overnight among the people in the market, whether they were true or false, whether they were true or not.
Pushing the former Prime Minister of the Tang Dynasty to the forefront.
Yushitai.
The snow in the courtyard outside the window has been cleared away and placed in piles under the big trees beside the courtyard wall. The sky is still gloomy and there is no sunshine.
In a room at the far east where people usually drink tea and rest, the imperial censor Liu Xiangdao knelt down by the window and slowly sipped tea. The censor Li Qianyou, the censor Wang Lun, and Tang Linjin were all present.
The atmosphere is slightly serious.
Li Qianyu glared at Tang Lin and scolded: "I don't care whether you are dedicated to serving the public and putting the law first, or whether you are being bribed and looking out for others. In short, this matter is over here, and you are not allowed to continue!"
Tang Lin, who was in his twenties and full of energy, sneered when he heard this: "Censor Zhongcheng didn't even ask me how many personal and material evidences I had collected during these days, nor did I ask what Feng Deyi had done back then?
"
Li Qianyu said angrily: "It is precisely because of knowing this that I asked you to stop the impeachment! Do you know what impact this matter will have once the incident breaks out?"
Tang Lin saw Liu Xiangdao drinking tea silently beside him. He felt confident enough and said with a pinched neck: "When Yushitai hears the incident, accepts lawsuits, and supervises hundreds of officials, he should only have law and justice in his eyes.
As for the influence, that is something that the prime ministers and assistants need to consider. We are in our position and planning our affairs. This is the responsibility of the censor. What does the gain and loss of the government have, and the impact, the size, what does it have to do with me? If the censor Zhongcheng is worried about these, or
Let’s talk about it after you become Prime Minister.”
The censor was responsible for reporting events and supervising officials. Since ancient times, it has been the place where the court's laws are maintained and has always been respected by people. This dynasty has expanded the authority of the censor's platform, and can even set up a prison to accept cases. This
This gave the censor a better way to rise.
What are the political achievements of the censor?
Naturally, it is the success rate of impeaching officials. The higher the success rate, the higher the rank of the impeached official, and the better the political performance will naturally be.
Now that a major case has been accepted and the witnesses and material evidence are basically complete, how can such an achievement be let go?
An ordinary censor may never be able to participate in such a major event in his life, nor can he impeach such a meritorious minister...
Moreover, it is thought-provoking that the imperial censor stayed out of the matter and let it happen.
Li Qianyu was so angry that he blew his beard and stared, his hands were trembling. He had no choice but to deal with such young officials who valued political performance as their lives. He had to turn to Liu Xiang and try to soften his tone: "This is a big matter. If we can't control the scope well, it may affect Emperor Taizong's achievements."
, reputation, your majesty may not be happy, please think twice."
Nowadays, the government and the public are highly praising Emperor Taizong's achievements. One of the most recognized ones is "all the people are upright and the court is prosperous." If Feng Deyi is classified as "treacherous and sycophantic", then Emperor Taizong will naturally be deceived by it.
A comment about "unrecognizable people" did some damage to Emperor Taizong's reputation.
The most important thing is that Feng Deyi has died a long time ago. If he dies, the debt will be wiped out, so why should he hold on to his words?
Tang Lin frowned and sneered: "Yu Shi Zhongcheng said that the official was bribed by others and turned a blind eye. But I don't know who blocked this matter when you blocked it. Who bribed you and why did you turn a blind eye?"
Li Qianyu was so angry that he ignored the stick.
In his view, the reason why Liu Xiangdao was parachuted into the position of Yushitai was because the emperor needed to completely take charge of the Yushitai, to prevent the Yushitai from becoming a vassal of some huge forces and thus losing its fairness, impartiality and neutrality.
We must become a "guardian" to assist in the implementation of the New Deal.
Under such circumstances, how could Tang Lin be allowed to impeach Feng Deyi, thus causing Emperor Taizong's reputation to be damaged and the government and the public to be trembling with fear?
In the officialdom, no one is truly as clear as water or as clear as a mirror, and dirty tricks in the dark are always inevitable. As long as you are able to maintain your official career, you will be a loyal minister and a straight minister.
Now, not only do you need to be investigated after you become an official, but you also have to uncover past events even after you die. Who wouldn’t be frightened?
It's not conducive to unity...
Liu Xiangdao put down his tea cup, frowned and said slowly: "The Censorship Terrace is the world's Censorship Terrace, the Censorship Terrace of the Tang Dynasty, but not His Majesty's Censorship Terrace. I hope Li Zhongcheng will keep this in mind."
One sentence set the tone for the whole thing.
Whether it harms Emperor Taizong's prestige or makes His Majesty dissatisfied is not within Yushitai's consideration. Yushitai is not responsible to the emperor, but only to the Tang Dynasty, and only to the world.
Li Qianyou looked shocked. Who in the court knows that you are His Majesty's lackey? Now that you have said these words, does it mean that you have changed the family?
Realizing that he seemed to be involved in a serious undercurrent, Li Qianyou was trembling with fear and trembled with fear, so he quickly shut up.
Liu Xiangdao looked at Tang Lin and warned: "It's okay if you hear about it. It doesn't matter if there is any evidence. But this matter must have real evidence, and both personal and material evidence are indispensable. Yushitai is not afraid of power and seeks truth from facts.
But you must also be rigorous, objective and meticulous, do you understand what I mean?"
Tang Lin was extremely excited to receive the support of the boss: "Although it has been many years, there are still people who knew about it at that time. Moreover, there are also many documents and letters. The subordinates have screened them one by one, investigated and collected evidence. This
It’s a solid case!”
Liu Xiangdao knelt down behind the desk, with a serious face, and nodded slowly: "Then just go ahead and do it. No matter what pressure you have, I will have my own officials to withstand it. As censors, we should fulfill our duties, uphold the law, and not be afraid.
Power cannot tarnish the official robes in the slightest."
"Here!"
…
The impromptu small meeting dispersed. The frightened Li Qianyu and the excited Tang Lin left one after another. Only Wang Lun stayed and moved to Liu Xiangdao's side to hold a pot and pour tea.
After drinking a cup of tea, Wang Lun said cautiously: "In this matter, I actually feel that what Li Zhongcheng said is reasonable. Your Majesty may not be willing to see Feng Deyi being found out and impeached. After all, this matter will definitely affect the reputation of Emperor Taizong."
He was the censor in Taichung, Liu Xiangdao's confidant.
Liu Xiangdao sipped his tea cup, remained silent for a while, and then said slowly: "Everyone outsiders say that I am His Majesty's eagle dog. What do you think?"
Wang Lun shook his head and said: "Why should the imperial censor take such slanderous words to heart? The reason why your majesty appointed you to be in charge of the censorship is not to make you obey the advice and be a willing lackey, but because you are upright, stubborn and selfless.
Yu also knows how to make choices and cut off certain people from controlling the Yushitai without causing the entire court to lose its voice of justice and fall into chaos."
Liu Xiangdao smiled and sighed: "So, I also have my political ambitions and lofty ideals. How can I follow suit and bow down in front of the imperial power?"
