Chapter 23 Chapter Twenty-Three

Jiang Jiao came and left, and then leaked the forbidden matter. In my opinion, Jiang Jiao was also kind, because he told the queen's brother-in-law.Jiang Jiao hoped that her brother-in-law could tell Queen Wang quickly so that she could make plans early.But Comrade Brother-in-law is not a good guy, he thought for a while with a shocking expression, then rushed to Li Longji and sued Jiang Jiao. As a result, Li Longji did not praise his brother-in-law, but Jiang Jiao was severely criticized by Li Longji for leaking state secrets (Li Longji had a very good relationship with him). In order not to lose friendship, Li Longji only asked people to check in detail first.The person in charge of this work is Zhang Jiazhen.

Zhang Jiazhen learned that the people in the harem are very grateful to the kind-hearted Queen Wang, because the Queen always likes to help them, and the Queen Wang has a very good reputation in the harem.Zhang Jiazhen showed a victorious expression. Dare to think and do is the main characteristic of his old man. He will not speak up like Song Jing, nor will he coax Li Longji to do things well like Yao Chong. .The only factor that can influence Zhang Jiazhen's judgment is Jiang Jiao. This person is not the same as him, so there is no need to keep him.All the factors are not important, only one important factor: Jiang Jiao is his political enemy.

Jiang Jiao, it's your fault, you can't blame me. Zhang Jiazhen quickly reported the results of his trial: Jiang Jiao talked nonsense about rest and blame (Jiang Jiao was talking nonsense, spreading rumors outside that the empress was abolished). Jiang Jiao is not a villain. When Li Longji was poor, Jiang Jiao saw that he was extraordinary, and he devoted himself to making friends and helping each other with all his money.At that time, Li Longji called him Jiang Qi.Li Longji became the emperor, and Jiang Jiao also received high treatment.Jobs like secretary supervision were also arranged by Li Longji himself.

But this time, Li Longji must be very disappointed, because Jiang Jiao really shouldn't have revealed this secret.Li Longji gritted his teeth with hatred, but he said calmly: "What to do, what to do!" Zhang Jiazhen completed the task assigned by Li Longji brilliantly, and it exceeded the quota.He beat Jiang Jiao sixty times, and then exiled Jiang Jiao to Qinzhou (Guangxi coastal).Jiang Jiao's younger brother, Jiang Hui, a very talented official servant, was demoted to Sima of Chunzhou because he was his younger brother.Many of Jiang Jiao's friends and relatives were exiled and killed.Zhang Jiazhen's mission was accomplished so well. On the way to Lingnan, Jiang Jiao, who was covered in blood and flesh, was tortured to the point of death, and died of depression.Jiang Jiao's death caused a great stir in the court. At that time, a poet wrote a poem satirizing Li Longji, saying that he was simply a murderous monster.

Only then did Li Longji know that Jiang Jiao was pissed off by him. He reflected for many days, but he didn't dare to respond to the scholar's question, because he always felt that something was wrong with the whole thing. What's wrong? It was Zhang Jiazhen who was wrong, and the first contradiction that Zhang Jiazhen and Zhang talked about was recently laid out. The story begins with Pei Ni, the governor of Guangzhou, being imprisoned, and Li Longji is discussing with the prime minister how to deal with him.If you have any impression, you should know that Pei Ni is Pei Yan's nephew first.

He was a man who was not afraid of death. He was successful at a young age. He became an official at Taipusi at the age of eleven. In the first year of Guangzhai (684 AD), his uncle Pei Yan was killed and he was demoted to Lingnan.But this kid is not the type to swallow his anger. Before leaving, he asked to meet Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian was willing to meet the informer, so this kid took advantage of Wu Zetian's meeting with him and scolded Wu Zetian to death.The fate of classmate Pei Nixian was to be forked out, like a dog crawling.If you say more, you may be beheaded directly, but Mr. Pei Yixian, facing the guard's iron arm, still refused to shut up, and turned to Wu Zetian and shouted: "It's not too late for you to listen to me!"

Therefore, Grandma Wu Zetian finally couldn't bear to beat him up, until his ass blossomed, and he was exiled in Tangzhou (now in Shangsi, Guangxi).When you come to such a place, you should be honest, wait for the old empress to die, and then wait for the new emperor's amnesty, it won't be too long.It seems that Pei Ni is a calm person first, he is determined to heal his injuries in peace, and wait for his butt to heal.After waiting for more than a month, his butt really healed, and he also had the spirit—the spirit of running away. He ran all the way from Lingnan, ran thousands of miles, returned to Luoyang to inform, met and cursed Wu Zetian.Wu Zetian was so angry that he didn't know what to say. Don't talk nonsense with him. If someone catches him, it will cost him a hundred bucks. His ass will be beaten, and he will be exiled to Beiting Governor's Mansion.

Pei Ni is a calm person first, he is determined to heal his injuries in peace and wait for his butt to heal.Later, his butt really healed, and he also had the spirit—the spirit of doing business.He didn't plan to run back, it was meaningless to scold the old woman who didn't listen to him.Pei Nixian has grown up, and he firmly believes that only those who can bear their temper can achieve remarkable achievements.Therefore, Mr. Pei started to live and do business in Beiting. Because of his honesty and trustworthiness, many people were willing to associate with him, and his life became more and more prosperous day by day.

After working for five years, Pei Nixian turned out to be a super rich man.Pei Ni first settled down in Beiting, married Hu Nu as his wife, and sent countless gold bars, horses, cattle and sheep as a dowry to his partner's family.But obviously, getting married and having children is not his dream.His dream is that one day, he will go back to the court and realize his political ambitions. If Wu Zetian is still alive, he will have nothing to complain about and scold her. So, he began to support people, learning from Mr. Meng Chang, and raised hundreds of followers with various talents.Those retainers also have tasks, and they are responsible for helping him inquire about court affairs.Finally one day, someone told him that he was pardoned and could return to Chang'an.

But he could no longer yell at Wu Zetian. This year was the first year that Emperor Ruizong Li Dan ascended the throne. Li Dan ordered to abandon those who were immoral and incompetent, and recalled those who were talented to take important positions.In this way, Pei Ni was first appointed in an innocuous position, until the seventh year of Kaiyuan, Li Longji asked him to go to Guangzhou as the governor. Mr. Pei's glorious deeds really blinded the villain. He didn't do a good job as the governor, and even committed a crime again. The incident was so sensational that the court knew about it.Therefore, what Li Longji meant was that Pei Yuxian should be severely punished.Comrade Zhang Jiazhen is the most resolute prime minister.

In order to achieve the effect of upholding justice, Comrade Zhang Jiazhen actually ran to the court hall and recited a prose parallel sentence written by himself for everyone in a sonorous tone. The content was to strongly demand that criminals be severely punished. Hit till the ass blossoms and exile in Vietnam! Zhang Shuo, who had always admired Pei Nixian, jumped out to object without waiting for Zhang Jiazhen to shut up, "I can't punish you as a doctor!" About "Punishment is not a doctor". Confucius said back then that the reason why he could not be punished by a doctor was because a real gentleman wanted face, so before he was punished, he cut himself off, so as not to be spanked and have to take off his pants in public.As for the common people, you can't blame them just because they don't understand etiquette. Anyway, Zhang Jiazhen was stunned. Zhang said that he was opposed to spanking Pei Yuxian's butt, but he did not object to his punishment. "I heard that a scholar can be killed, but not humiliated. I was on a tour of the north before and heard that someone (Zhang Jiazhen, who was standing on the side and was stunned by thunder) was beaten in the court hall." Jiang Jiao. Your Majesty, Jiang Jiao is a third-rank official, and he also has minor merit. If he is guilty, he will die, and if he is exiled, he will be exiled. How can he be flogged and humiliated without asking anything, and treat him with Zaoli! It's over, let's not talk about it, and Pei Ni was exiled (exiled) according to the law, how can he repeat the same mistakes?" Li Longji came to his senses and exiled Pei Nixian far, far away. It is not known exactly where Mr. Pei Nixian was exiled to, and this person has since lost track of history books.More than a thousand years later, the epitaph of Pei Nixian in Xi'an was discovered, so I have to announce it for him. Comrade Pei Nixian, who firmly believes that hard work can succeed, later returned to Chang'an with his own ability and was able to be buried.I've spent my whole life tossing about my astounding goal, whether you accept it or not, I'm convinced anyway. Li Longji waved Zhang Shuo and Zhang Jiazhen away.The two walked out of the hall together. As they were walking, Zhang Jiazhen suddenly asked Zhang dissatisfiedly: "Is this case not as serious as you said?" Zhang said: "On the surface, I said this for the sake of the elders, but actually it is for the sake of the gentlemen of the world! You can be whipped at will, and I'm afraid you will be no exception!" Zhang Jiazhen was silent again, because he was thinking who would whip himself.Soon after, Zhang Jiazhen was downgraded from Zhongshuling to governor of Youzhou, and Zhang Shuo took over his job.Therefore, Zhang Jiazhen understood that someone must be secretly whipping herself.Zhang Jiazhen wanted to scold her mother, but he held back because it was his own younger brother Zhang Jiayou who committed the crime. Zhang Jiayou, like his elder brother, is indeed quite talented, but also, like Zhang Jiazhen, he is too selfish in doing things.Therefore, when it was revealed that Zhang Jiayou had embezzled countless money, Zhang Jiazhen also became nervous.What Li Longji hated most in his life was corruption. His colleagues persuaded Zhang Jiazhen to take off his official uniform and stand outside the tent to plead guilty. What the emperor hated most was corruption. You, a brother, are dishonest and fearful. I am afraid that the emperor will have something to say about you. Zhang Jiazhen really went there, and voluntarily admitted that she had neglected to discipline her younger brother and was not cautious as an older brother.Li Longji couldn't remember if he didn't listen, and became angry when he heard it. In this way, Zhang Jiazhen was demoted to Youzhou. Along with Zhang Jiazhen, a Fenyin county magistrate named Wang Tongqing was demoted. Because Li Longji recently visited the north and found that this guy was taking bribes and disturbing the people, Li Longji was furious and demoted him to a county in Lingnan to be the captain of the security guard.During the northern tour, Li Longji also carried out a major change: the governor of Henan was changed to Yin, and the Tianbing, Dawu and other armies were dismissed. , Xin, Shuo, Wei, and Yun Shizhou. Wang Jun, who also disgusted Zhang Jiazhen, was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War and the third rank of Tongzhongshu after Li Longji drove back to the capital.Feng Shui took turns, but Wang Jun still couldn't stay in the capital, because he was appointed as Shuofang Army Jiedu envoy just after the celebration banquet.This means that Mr. Wang will personally inspect the Hexi, Longyou, Hedong, and Hebei armies. Li Longji didn't realize that multiple states were controlled by one Jiedushi, thus forming a military region.If the chief does not change, danger will follow. In Luoyang, the eastern capital, Mr. Zhang Shuo received a new task, and he was in charge of leading a group of literati, writing books and giving lectures.Another part-time job that Zhang talked about was called "Reviser of Books", which means the ambassador of book repairs, commonly known as the editor-in-chief.In order to allow literati and scholars to engage in their careers with peace of mind, Li Longji also set up a "Lizheng Academy" for them. The academy is not luxurious, and there is no landscape. The only thing to see is the broken books that are full of books in the academy! Li Longji felt that this was not good, so he made Lizheng Academy resplendent and resplendent, and gave them the best environment.It is also stipulated that if scholars and literati have any orders, the ministers should try their best to follow them.In the eyes of many people, making these things that are not suitable for eating or drinking is simply a waste of money. Lu Jian from Zhongshushe was the first to stand up and express his opposition. He believed that this group of literati was not beneficial to the country and wasted the country's assets in vain. He suggested that Lizheng Academy should be revoked.Let me introduce first, Lu Jian, male, formerly known as Lu Youti, has a strong character, so Li Longji values ​​him very much, and because of his unwavering character, he was given a name change - Lu Jian.Lu Jian's views are usually thought-provoking, and his views on the academy are also thought-provoking. Lu Jian's point of view is: "What's the use of editing books?"
