Chapter 26 Chapter Twenty Six

Li Longji turned his head to Kou Si, the governor of Songzhou, "You have told me several times that Songzhou is short of wine and meat, and I know that Aiqing is a good person!"The prime ministers stood up, and the ministers also stood up when they saw this.People in the market heard the rumors and came running one after another. They couldn't go upstairs, so they could only watch the excitement downstairs. They heard that the good governor here was praised, and the people in the market shouted long live. Feng Zen is over. It was time for Turkic Jie Lifa to leave, and only then did he realize that he had been fooled by Li Longji.During Feng Chan, he always wanted to propose marriage, but Li Longji didn't have time to answer him at all, and once he had time to answer him, Li Longji never said anything about it.In the end, Li Longji rewarded Jielifa heavily, and comforted him, telling him to treat the Turkic people well, so he left with the gift.Xie Lifa turned his head to look at his team, then at the gift from Li Longji, and suddenly slapped his thigh, shouting that he was fooled.

This time is different from the previous few times. The previous few times were only a small-scale embarrassment, but this time it is a large-scale embarrassment, and all countries in the world know it. The fact is exactly that, Xiao Sha and Jie Lifa are very annoyed, because Li Longji is indeed a big fool, but what can be done?Marriage is a major event in life and should not be taken lightly. Not long after the teacher returned to the court, he met Wang Maozhong marrying his daughter.Because Wang Maozhong is favored, all officials keep in touch with him.But in the final analysis, Wang Maozhong was just a tough guy and a bodyguard, and he was able to receive such treatment only because of his personal relationship with Li Longji.Wang Maozhong wanted to hold a wedding, Li Longji asked him sincerely: "Is there anything else you need? Just say it!"

Wang Maozhong paused, "I am ready for everything!" "Who is Dongfeng?" "It's because I'm afraid that someone will lose face and don't show up." "Zhang said, Yuan Qianyao..." "Don't worry, sir." Li Longji was suddenly very proud, nodded his head and pursed his lips and smiled, "Hey, I know who the person you are talking about, don't worry, I will just let him go." Wang Maozhong was deeply moved, and for Li Longji's concern for him, "I am so moved that I can't express it in words!" So, at the court hall tomorrow, before the meeting adjourned, Li Longji suddenly said, "My guard Mao Zhong is getting married today, Aiqing and all the dignitaries should go to his house to have a look!" The son ran to Wang Maozhong's house to visit and congratulate him, and gave him a big gift.But until after noon, everyone at the wedding ceremony was still chatting, not daring to move their chopsticks, and they were too hungry to move because they were waiting for the person Li Longji had mentioned.

Zhang said he was waiting, Yuan Qianyao was waiting, and Wang Maozhong didn't dare lose his temper. So, Song Jing came slowly, and the chattering scene suddenly fell silent.Everyone thought they could see Song Jing apologizing and saying something like "I'm sorry, I'm late", but they didn't expect him to go straight to the wine glass handed over by the staff and make a series of surprising movements.He paid his thanks far west, took a sip of wine, then put down his glass and said to everyone, "My stomach hurts." Under the surprised eyes of everyone, Song Jing only left behind her own back.The 60-year-old Song Jing is old and strong, with the ambition of never falling into the blue sky.

Zhang Shuo, who Wang Maozhong wasn't afraid of, was also fifty-eight years old. After the wedding, the officials said their goodbyes. One day, Li Longji suddenly asked Zhang, "What do you think about Henan Yin Cui Yinfu's entry into Beijing as prime minister?" I can only say that Zhang said he definitely opposed it. Must not be colleagues with him.Zhang said that he really opposed it, but the reasons for his opposition shocked me. "Although Cui Yinfu is talented, he has no culture!" Li Longji: "Then what do you think he can do?" "Cui Yinfu is uneducated, but he is also a hero, why not let him be the general of Jinwu."

Li Longji noticed Zhang Shuo's abnormal expression, he nodded, and arranged for Cui Yinfu to be a general.Immediately afterwards, Comrade Zhang Yue rushed towards the fire pit he had dug a long time ago with thunderous momentum, and he couldn't stop him.Cui Rizhi, the former supervisor of the palace, and Zhang Shuo's good friends, rushed to report one day in a hurry, "Report! Zhang Shuo is upright by nature and cares about the people of the world, so he should be the imperial doctor!" Li Longji immediately wanted to jump up and slap Cui Rizhi's old face, but he held back, and nodded, telling Cui Rizhi to go back first.Cui Rizhi happily returned to the residence.A few days later, the imperial decree came down, "Make Cui Rizhi the general of Zuo Yulin, and Cui Yinfu the imperial censor."

Zhang said that he was furious, and he refused to calm down. Naturally, he didn't think about the current situation, but cursed: "It must be Cui Yinfu, it must be Cui Yinfu who is playing tricks! I will kill him!" Speaking of which, Zhang said that there are quite a few enemies. In addition to Cui Yinfu, there is Yu Wenrong, Yushi Zhongcheng.Yu Wenrong was good at searching, and Li Longji liked him, which caused the bachelors to be very dissatisfied with this man. As the leader of the bachelors, Zhang Shuo took the lead in dissatisfaction with him.The two old brothers Zhang Shuo and Yu Wenrong were really outrageous, because they looked down on each other in private, and they scolded each other in court.Li Longji had to mediate for them like a father and a mother, and the two of them were still blushing.

The proposals made by the Ministry of Education were opposed by Yu Wenrong every time; when Yu Wenrong made a proposal, Zhang said that he must be the first to jump out to oppose it, no matter whether your proposal is good or bad.The two of them were about to spend time in the court. Zhang Jiuling, a member of Zhongshushe, couldn't see it, and advised Zhang, "Yu Wenrong is the emperor's favorite person, and he is also very scheming. My lord, you must guard against it!" Zhang Shuo laughed loudly, pointed at Yushitai, and said contemptuously, "I forgive them for not daring (what can the rats do)!"

So, in April of the fourteenth year of Kaiyuan (726 A.D.), on a beautiful early summer day, Yu Wenrong and a few others could no longer stand the squeeze of Zhang Shuo, and joined forces with those who had been bullied by Zhang Shuo to collect Zhang Shuo's treasures. Said evidence.There are too many crimes that Zhang said, accepting bribes, engaging in malpractice for personal gain, making friends with magicians... Can everything bring him down? yes! Are you excited? interesting! How about a partner suing him? Too dangerous! Wouldn't it be more dangerous for him to think about us every day?

Ok. With the efforts of all (Yu Wenrong and others such as Zhang Jiazhen), Zhang said that the incident was revealed.Li Longji issued an edict ordering Prime Minister Yuan Ganyao, Shangshu Wei Kang of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Shaoqing Minggui, Yushi doctor Cui Yinfu and others to copy Zhang Shuo at Yushitai together. Intoxicated in the dream, Zhang said that he finally realized that he had made a fatal mistake.At Yushitai, he confessed all his crimes, "I like curios, I like money, and I am selfish. I am selfish, I am irritable. I am inflated, and no one dares to oppose me, which makes me lose my nature and sleepwalk upside down."

After the review by Yushitai, Zhang said he was still panicked.The story quickly spread to Li Longji's ears. He glanced at Gao Lishi standing beside him, "Go and see him!" Gao Lishi ran to see Zhang and said.Zhang said that he was kneeling on a broken straw mat disheveled and unkempt, and the crude earthen pot for eating was also lying on the ground. Zhang said that he was like a wounded puppy, with fear and anxiety in his eyes. Gao Lishi said a few words, turned and walked away. He came to Li Longji and reported the truth. Li Longji: "So pitiful?" Gao Lishi: "No matter what, he is also a meritorious minister." Li Longji: "Just teach him a lesson, who hasn't lost himself?" Gao Lishi: "Yes." Zhang said he was dismissed, and Yu Wenrong began to contact other people to celebrate, but what made Yu Wenrong bleed was that shortly after Zhang said he was dismissed, he returned to Zhongshuling's position.And the three brothers who wrote to impeach Zhang Shuo finally went down in the annals of history one by one. As I said before, "Fu" means handsome guy, Du Fu is, Cui Yinfu is, and Li Linfu is too. Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong are obviously not as determined as Li Linfu.In the matter of bringing down Zhang Shuo, they showed different abilities.Li Linfu, who is in his early forties now, is doing well, but it is all due to his ancestors.His grandfather's grandfather was Li Yuan's uncle. His mother's name was Jiang, and his uncle's name was Jiang Jiao. But Li Linfu is capable, so he did very well.Li Linfu despised Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong a little bit, they allied with him, but they were surprisingly stupid.If you want to kill Zhang Shuo, can you do it without a second move?Therefore, when Yu Wenrong and Cui Yinfu were at odds with Zhang, Li Linfu was taking the time to curry favor with Li Longji's most convincing person—Concubine Wu Hui. I always thought that Li Linfu was more patient than Lai Junchen. How did he succeed in making Concubine Wu Hui happy? Li Linfu laughed heartily, "Let me ask you, what does Concubine Wu Hui want to do most now?" "...to be a queen?" "You're not stupid! Then let me ask you, what should I tell her?" "Lin Fu firmly supports Concubine Hui as queen..." "A mother is more valuable than a child, brother!" I suddenly realized, turned to history, and carefully looked at Li Linfu's files—— Li Linfu, brother slave with small characters, is good at speculating and speculating on other people's thoughts (brother brother brother has already practiced this to perfection, and an important person once marveled that brother brother brother is a heavenly man). Brother Nu kept silent about Concubine Wu Hui's becoming a queen. When he came in front of the family, he just emphasized his attitude, "I wish the King of Longevity (the eldest son of Concubine Wu Hui) to be long live!" I understand, this is the means. Li Linfu laughed, and said, "Just wait and see, these bastards Cui Yinfu and Yu Wenrong are going to leave soon." After speaking, these two people really came to look for Li Linfu.Li Linfu agreed, and then watched them go away with disdainful eyes.What Yu Wenrong meant was to unite everyone and collectively write a letter to slander Zhang Shuo.Li Linfu didn't agree, so there was a reason why he didn't agree.On this day, because Li Longji was tired of mediating disputes, in a rage, he asked Zhang Shuo to retire from office, removed Cui Yinfu from his official position, and asked him to go home to serve his mother (Yinfu was dismissed from office to serve his mother), Yu Wenrong Get out directly from the central government and go to the local governor. Someone mentioned Cui Yinfu, a guy who likes to impeach others, and hated him so much.After Yu Wenrong and Cui Yinfu left, Baiguan breathed a sigh of relief.But no one noticed the invisible and weak Li Linfu, but he was safe and sound.The next most important thing is to choose a capable person to replace Zhong Shuling.Li Longji chose Xiao Song, a burly and bearded man. Xiao Song is a celebrity, born in 668 AD, with a beard like Guan Yu, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Liang Ming Xiao Kui, and the great-nephew of Xiao Yu. Speaking of which, Xiao Song and Lu Xiangxian are still sons-in-law (sisters and husbands).When Lu Xiangxian was not yet developed, a divine man named Xia Rong in Xuanzhou once said to him: "Lu Lang has been an excellent minister for ten years, but you are not as good as Xiao Lang. He has a noble family and a high official position. Longevity." Xia Rong, a physiognomist, accurately predicted the future of Lu Xiangxian and Xiao Song. Following Master Xia's instructions, in the first year after Wu Zetian's death, Comrade Xiao Song, a commoner, was transferred to Mingzhou to join the army. , Soon he was appreciated by Yan Yanfan (one of the five kings, who was demoted to Mingzhou as the governor because he offended the leader).Yan Yanfan said to him: "You will definitely not be able to join the army in the future. You will be rich and powerful in the future, very rich and powerful!" Yan Yanfan treated Xiao Songen well, but at the same time, Yan Yanfan also realized another problem. If Xiao Song can really become an extremely human minister, his greatest weakness will undoubtedly be exposed in the position of prime minister.Because in the eyes of others, Xiao Song is simply a person who is ignorant.Those who have not had in-depth contact with him will never know his abilities, let alone predict the future like Yan Yanfan.Xiao Song's relative, Lu Xiangxian, who turned 18, has become the Minister of Zhongshu, and has become the supervisor of the censor. But Xiao Song stood still, a pile of mud.However, the opportunity came, because Lu Xiangxian was good at promoting talents and never lost sight of them, and he did not avoid relatives when raising talents, and did not avoid enemies when cursing others, so he recommended Xiao Song to Li Longji.
