We are not afraid of traitors, but we are afraid of traitors forming a group.
It would be even more terrifying if these traitors had money, power, soldiers, and even a backbone who had once been an emperor.
Historically, Zhao Huan killed Zhao Ji's cronies by defeating them one by one, and then successfully placed them under house arrest.
But now, as Li Yunze delivered the news in advance, the close confidant who was about to be killed and Zhao Ji formed a team.
Now, they have the upper hand.
The most threatening among them is Tong Guan, who leads the Shengjie Army and is stationed in the palace.
After thousands of victorious troops entered the palace, Zhao Huan was so frightened that he wanted to flee and did not dare to sleep the whole night.
If Li Gang hadn't mobilized soldiers and horses to station nearby, things would have been really unpredictable.
Faced with Li Yunze's proposal to attack Tong Guan first, Zhao Huan supported it from the bottom of his heart.
If Tong Guan is not killed, he will die of sleepiness due to staying up late for a long time.
"I'll leave this matter to Jiulang." Zhao Huan wanted to hold Li Yunze's hand again, intending to push him to take the blame.
"Official family." He, Li Yunze, has always been the one to trick people, and Zhao Huan's rank is not qualified enough to trick him. "This matter cannot be done by my younger brother."
Zhao Huan's face suddenly darkened, "Why is this?"
"With my identity as my younger brother," Li Yunze smiled bitterly, "How can I impeach a minister of the DPRK? Once he is singled out, my younger brother will really have nowhere to live."
Any dynasty will take strict precautions against the children of the clan, especially those at the prince level, who are the top priority.
How could those scholar-bureaucrats who value their status tolerate him as a prince inciting the imperial students to attack Tong Guan?
"Oops." Zhao Huan raised his hand and patted his forehead, "I forgot."
After saying that, he nodded with emotion, "Jiuro, I wrongly blamed you."
Li Yunze had a smile on his face, and his smile was like a spring breeze.
Don’t take a word of what Zhao Huan said seriously.
This guy is actually no different from Zhao Ji, they are both cool and thin emperors.
Historically, during the Jingkang period, Zhao Ji was placed under house arrest and all his party members were killed. It was Zhao Huan who was responsible for the whole response to the Jin army's march south.
There is no doubt that Zhao Ji needs to take care of the rot that has occurred in the past few decades.
But everything that happened during the Jingkang period was basically Zhao Huan's fault.
Neither father nor son are good birds.
"In that case." Zhao Huan quickly returned to the topic, "Who should do this?"
"Official family." Li Yunze did not avoid suspicion and sincerely recommended, "My younger brother recommended Qin Hui, the imperial censor in the palace, to do it."
"Qin Hui?" Zhao Huan looked at him slightly suspiciously, "Why?"
"Qin Huinai was a Jinshi and was a professor. He also served as the Imperial College Xuezheng. He has a huge influence among the Taixue students." Li Yunze explained sincerely. "The most important thing is that he is the one who takes the lead in the battle."
The overall political situation during the Jingkang period seemed chaotic, but in fact there were many clear lines.
Among them, those in power basically all advocate peace, while those who have not yet climbed up are all those who advocate war.
The only person in charge of the battle was Li Gang. If Li Yunze hadn't brought back Zhao Ji's gang in advance, Li Gang would have been deprived of military power and resigned.
Tong Guan and the others also wanted to make peace, because only by making peace could they continue to enjoy the glory and wealth, instead of fearing the Jin soldiers going south all day long.
Qin Hui is in charge of the battle and is still a leader-level figure.
Even if it is for his own reputation, he will fight to the end. Because this is his personality in the court, and if it is broken, there will be nothing left.
Zhao Huan, who had figured this out, nodded with satisfaction, "Jiulang, I'm lucky to have you by my side. You've made great contributions to your suggestions, but what do you want? Just ask, and I won't refuse."
He kept saying yes, but his eyes were fixed on Li Yunze.
If you really say something that goes too far,
Li Yunze smiled cordially, "The official said so, I just have something to ask for."
"But it doesn't matter." The smile on Zhao Huan's face has faded a lot.
I feel like Xiang Yu, who doesn't want to give anything if he can.
"The princess keeps talking about wanting to make new clothes all day long, but there are not many fine tribute silks and satins in the palace."
"Hahahaha~~~" Zhao Huan laughed with satisfaction, "It's nothing if my younger siblings want to make new clothes. From now on, for this kind of thing, just send someone to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get it."
After finishing speaking, he called to the guard outside, "The Ministry of Internal Affairs will send two carts of Hu silk to Prince Kang's Mansion."
"Thank you, officials."
"You and I, brothers, there is no need to be polite."
After leaving Gongchui Hall, Li Yunze shook his neck, and the sincere smile on his face gradually dissipated, "Hunjun, who is your brother?"
Perhaps in order to sleep peacefully as soon as possible, Zhao Huan acted very quickly.
Just three days later, Qin Hui, the imperial censor in the palace, instigated hundreds of imperial students to gather in front of Xuande Tower, shouting that Tong Guan was guilty of many crimes and demanding that the imperial court punish the traitor severely.
The news spread quickly and became the hottest topic in the city.
"Sir, please use your fish meat with caution."
In a restaurant on Tian Street in front of Xuande Building, a diligent waiter brought a plate of freshly fished fish from the Bian River to the table.
"Yeah." Li Yunze picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and called Niu Gao and Zhai Cong at the same table, "Eat, you're welcome."
Looking out through the window facing the street, Xuande Tower is not far ahead.
A large group of imperial students were blocking the door and recounting the crimes committed by the children, and there were more people crowding in to watch the fun.
Zhai Cong was amazed when he saw it. He had never seen such a thing before.
"Your Majesty." He lowered his voice and asked in a low voice, "The Prince of Guangyang County seems to be in trouble this time."
"Not necessarily." Li Yunze chuckled, "It depends on whether he has the courage."
Niu Gao on the side suddenly said, "The King of Guangyang County has been leading the army for many years, so he should have the courage. What he doesn't have is a coward."
Young Zhai Cong immediately burst out laughing uncontrollably.
Li Yunze smiled and said nothing, that was not what he was talking about at all.
Whether it's Zhao Huan's group or Zhao Ji's group, they all still have the same thinking pattern as before, believing that fighting in the court can solve everything.
However, no one has ever thought that in today's troubled times, only the troops and horses in hand are the capital to survive.
If Tong Guan, who was awarded the title of county king as an eunuch, could see through this, then he could rely on the victorious army around him, and at least he would be in an invincible position.
This was the reason why he asked whether Tong Guan had the courage.
Qin Hui was very capable, and after the Ether students started the trend, countless impeachment memorials soon came out.
After the foreplay has been completed, today's court meeting will be the time to see each other.
If Tong Guan and Zhao Ji did not dare to use their swords to protect themselves, then Tong Guan would definitely be demoted.
If they dared to wield swords and guns, there would be blood splattering three feet in front of Xuande Tower today.
Li Yunze is eating fish here, just waiting for the next change, and will change his action steps accordingly.
His theme is to try to keep the fight within the court and not affect ordinary people.
After several dishes were eaten and several jugs of wine had been drank, a burst of warm cheers suddenly came from in front of Xuande Building.
There were also calls like 'The traitor must surrender to the law'.
There is no doubt that Tong Guan and Zhao Ji did not dare to use swords and guns, and they were defeated miserably in the political battle. Tong Guan was in bad luck.
"Hey~~~"
Li Yunze chuckled lightly and put down the chopsticks in his hand.
He stood up and told Niu Gao Zhai Cong, "You continue to eat and drink, and wait here. I, the king, will go into the palace."
Zhai Cong was puzzled and asked, "What is the matter with the prince?"
Li Yunze smiled and said, "Go and take over Tong Guan's legacy."
When his figure was gone, Zhai Cong showed his hands to Niu Gao in confusion, "The Prince of Guangyang is a eunuch. How can he be a relative of the prince? Where did the inheritance come from for the prince?"
What responded to him was Niu Gao's eye roll: "Xiao Er, bring two more bottles of wine and cut up two kilograms of meat."
His appetite was too big, and the previous few dishes were too little. Even in front of the prince, it was not enough to give him a toothpaste.
Li Yunze, with his hands behind his back, entered the palace slowly, handed over the sign and waited quietly for the reception.
While waiting, one could clearly feel some commotion among the Shengjie troops stationed in the palace.
Unfortunately, there was no leader and they were quickly suppressed.
Seeing this scene, he sighed softly, "This era is really a good time for military leaders to come forward."
You must know that Tong Guan was not kind to the Shengjie Army. Not only was he treated mediocrely, but when he fled south to Zhenjiang, because the bridge was too congested, Tong Guan even ordered hundreds of people to be shot to death just so that he could escape.
faster.
With this attitude towards the sergeants, after learning that Tong Guan was demoted, some people were still making trouble for Tong Guan, and the military leaders really wanted to take the lead.
After waiting for more than half an hour, Zhao Huan, who was extremely busy, finally had time to receive Li Yunze.
Unexpectedly, during this reception, Zhao Huan was accompanied by a handsome man.
"Jiulang." Zhao Huan, who had won a victory, was very happy and called Li Yunze to introduce him, "This is the imperial censor, Qin Huizhi."
"My lord, Qin Hui, pays homage to the prince."
Tsk tsk~~~
Li Yunze carefully looked at the person in front of him. This person was truly a famous person throughout the ages. In the history books of the couple, he and Yue Fei were the most famous.
It's just that one is a representative of treacherous ministers and the other is a representative of loyal ministers.
"It turns out it's Qin Yushi in person." Li Yunze responded with a friendly smile, "They say it's better to meet than to be famous. Today, when we meet, Qin Yushi is indeed the pillar of the country."
"Your Majesty has made such a ridiculous compliment, and I feel ashamed and unworthy of it. I heard that it was your Majesty who offered good advice to the government, and I admire you very much."
Even if they get to know each other through some useless business talk.
Over there, Zhao Huan pulled the two of them to sit down with a smile on his face, "I have Jiulang and Huizhi by my side, that is, there are both sleeping dragons and phoenixes."
Hearing this, Li Yunze's face twitched unnaturally.
Are you scolding me?
After sitting down, Qin Hui, with twinkling eyes, immediately asked a pointed question.
"Your Majesty has great insight into the world and can decide the fate of the Prince of Guangyang with just one word. I really admire him."
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Huan's expression suddenly changed slightly.
"Qin Yushi is joking." Li Yunze responded calmly, "The only people who can decide the fate of the world with a single word are officials. I just can't stand that child thief deceiving the emperor."
Zhao Huan's complexion gradually improved again, and he nodded with satisfaction.
Qin Hui's eyes changed over there, and then he chuckled and said nothing.
Li Yunze didn't waste any time and went straight to the topic: "In the official family, the child thieves have been demoted, but the victorious army in the palace is still there, so they should be dismissed immediately."
