Great Tang Broom Star

Yang Xian's words are more convincing than anyone else.

"There was no torture before."

Baiqi obviously didn't know the reason for Yang Xian's sudden confession.

Shen Qiu nodded, "That means I can't hold on anymore."

"I confess."

Yang Xian opened his mouth very readily, but what he explained was shocking.

"Accepting bribes... Telling lies for the general's assessment... In order to compete for a qualification for promotion, he suppressed those who are capable and raised those who gave money..."

"check!"

The emperor was furious, and there was less porcelain in the palace.

Immediately, Baiqi rushed into Yang's house like wolves and tigers, pulling dozens of carts with all kinds of money, as well as various shop contracts and land contracts.

Wu Mei did not show up this time.

She was sitting indoors, and the medical officer whispered, "The queen is fine."

Wu Mei nodded, and someone led the medical officer out.

"Yang Xian confessed that he received money and fields to deceive others, so that the incompetent people were promoted smoothly, but those who were capable were suppressed."

Shao Peng brought the latest news.

Wu Mei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "I knew Wu Lang was a good boy, by the way, Yang Xian didn't say anything before, why did he explain it?"

"It is said that it is tormenting in Baiqi's heart."

"People's hearts!"

Wu Mei happily said: "Ask someone to get some good food and wine, and I will invite Your Majesty and Wulang to come over later. By the way, have they learned the preserved meat and eight-treasure rice that Ping An said last time?"

"Learned."

"Then do it."

Wu Mei beamed with joy, and a servant came outside.

"Mr. Jia entrusted someone to send a message to invite Shao Zhongguan to go."

"Ping An is a demon.

Wu Mei nodded, "Go." "

Shaopeng went out for a long time before coming back.

"Queen."

Shao Peng lowered his voice, "Since Yang Xian was taken down, Duke Jia ordered Bao Dong and the others to check the people around Yang Xian. As soon as they found out the clue, an unknown person appeared. Fortunately, they took away After killing that person, Yang Xian was tortured and found out many things..."

Wu Mei sneered: "Are those people just trying to silence them?"

Huh!

Wu Mei suddenly felt something was wrong, "If that's the case, why didn't Ping An say it earlier?"

Shao Peng was a little confused, "Mr. Jia said... At that time, there were not many people attacking the prince. Since we want to cast a net, we should make it bigger and let the arrows fly for a while... Wait for those people to stand up and then attack the prince." Disclose the news to Yang Xian, the faces of those people outside are all swollen."

Wu Mei gritted her teeth, "But why didn't he say it?"

The queen was furious this time.

"Come here, go and get him, hurry up!"

It's over!

Shaopeng gritted his teeth while running.

To coax a pregnant queen is not a son of man, Jia Pingan!

Jia Ping'an was quickly escorted into the palace by two servants.

A servant came to report, "Your Majesty, the queen was so angry that she kicked Duke Jia dozens of times and made people hang him on the gate of the bedroom. Your Majesty...don't go anymore... Duke Jia is in danger!"

Li Zhi was also dumbfounded.

He had just received the news from Yang Xian, but he didn't expect that Jia Ping'an would offend the queen for some reason and be hanged...

"Ahem!"

That shrew is really fierce... Li Zhi coughed dryly, "I'm thirsty, go make some tea."

Wang Zhongliang was taken aback, and then asked people to make tea.

What does this mean, Your Majesty?

Duke Jia is at stake... The pregnant queen has been very unreasonable recently. Once she gets angry, Duke Jia may become cannon fodder and be tortured to the ground.

Just thinking about Jia Pingan's bloody appearance, Wang Zhongliang actually...

Why are we so excited?

This is not right.

Must have eaten less breakfast.

So he made tea more slowly.

After the emperor slowly drank his tea, he said slowly, "Go and have a look."

Walking all the way in the palace, the emperor praised: "In the past, I have never discovered that there are beautiful scenery everywhere in the palace. It can be seen that the common things are so exhausting that the five senses are ignored."

"Yes!" Wang Zhongliang smiled obsequiously, thinking that there are palaces all around, where is the beauty? If you want to see the beautiful scenery, you have to go to the Forbidden Garden, which is called the beautiful scenery.

A group of people slowly arrived outside the queen's bedroom.

"hiss!"

Wang Zhongliang couldn't help taking a breath.

"Mr. Jia..."

You are miserable!

Jia Ping'an was hung on the gate. The way of binding was good and it was very firm. The wind blew, and Jia Pingan swayed gently with the wind...

Jia Ping'an was floating under the gate, making it difficult to get in and out.

"Your Majesty, the pardoner cannot salute."

Jia Ping'an was whipped several times, and his clothes were all torn, which was quite miserable.

Li Zhi said with a straight face, "Why did you offend the queen?"

"I...don't know."

Of course Jia Ping'an knew... He suppressed Yang Xian's handle, just to hook those people out, and then throw the handle out.

How many people outside now feel their faces are swollen?

It can be called the largest face-slapping scene since the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

It's spectacular isn't it?

But he also made a taboo about this matter, and failed to report it to the empress in time. My sister is just venting her anger for the emperor by punishing him at this moment.

——Look, I've already dealt with Ping An, so you can see if that's it... Forget it.

Jia Pingan felt that he could hide the emperor, but Ajie obviously felt that such concealment was too risky, so she acted decisively, and he was in tragedy.

"It's outrageous, untie it."

The emperor's face was cold, making Jia Ping'an think that sister was Liu Bei who threw A Dou, and the emperor was Zhao Yun who picked A Dou up.

Jia Pingan went to the ground, struggling for a long time but failed to break free from the ropes that bound him.

"Don't move, you don't know how to do this."

Shaopeng took action himself and easily untied it.

"Old Shao, Dongchang needs talents like you."

This rope art is superb!

Shao Peng said with a cold face, "You still have the heart to tease? Hurry up, the queen has to wipe your butt!"

Jia Pingan slipped away.

The emperor goes in.

"You are pregnant, don't be impatient, let alone get angry."

Li Zhi sat down, seeing Wu Mei's lingering anger, he couldn't help worrying about the girl in her belly.

Wu Mei said furiously: "Pingan was quite annoyed when Wu Lang was criticized, so he went to check on Yang Xian's family, and finally found out what happened to Yang Xian, but..."

Li Zhi understood in an instant, and said lightly: "It's because he felt that there were too few people coming out, so he suppressed the handle until even the people from the Shandong gentry jumped out, so he used the handle to let Yang Apparently collapsed confession..."

In the end, the three swordsmen of the gentry of the Imperial College couldn't help publicly criticizing the prince and Jia Ping'an.

The emperor... is really wise!

Wang Zhongliang wanted to praise, but he held back when he saw the emperor's face was not good-looking.

"Good fight!"

Li Zhi said angrily: "How can I manipulate my own strengths, how can I ask him to decide?"

Oh no……

Wu Mei was angry and said, "Ping'an sent people to investigate at the beginning, but as soon as they got the people, some people showed up..."

"Mute."

Li Zhi stood up, "Yang Xian's family is in jail."

Being silenced means that some people know about Yang Xian, no, Yang Xian is clearly a member of a certain force.

"A poisonous snake is hidden in the Ministry of War. If Goro hadn't found out the problem this time, how long would he be doing evil?"

The more Li Zhi thought about it, the more angry he became, "Ren Yaxiang is incompetent..."

"Your Majesty, Ren Yaxiang is an old minister. He has lived and died in the frontier fortress for many years. He can be said to be loyal. Yang Xian served before he became Minister of the Ministry of War. He has something to do with this matter, but it doesn't matter much... If you replace him, who better?"

These words persuaded Li Zhi.

"So, tomorrow I will comfort him personally."

In an instant, Li Zhi regained the calmness of the emperor, and found a way to maximize his interests: to appease Ren Yaxiang, Ren Yaxiang will definitely be grateful.

This man was not born with an emperor's heart, Wu Mei knew it very well.

He was ordered at the critical moment, and after being beaten to death by his elder brothers, he was made the crown prince by the late emperor. Before he could establish his prestige and team in the future, the late emperor went...

As a powerful minister in the court, he has been carefully pretending to be weak until he has more power in his hands... During this process, he has gradually transformed.

Wu Mei thought these thoughts in her mind, "He is honest, he asked his concubine to confess, saying that he did not dare to tell His Majesty, for fear of being punished..."

Li Zhi snorted coldly.

"The concubine was furious, thinking that he hadn't been taught a lesson for many years, so she hung up and whipped hard."

Only three lashes, is this called ruthless whipping?

"Even if Yang Xian doesn't confess, I can still find out through the investigation of the guards." Li Zhi said lightly: "Bold and reckless!"

But it is very slow to find out, the slower the speed, the greater the impact and destructive power on the army, so Yang Xian's explanation at this moment is particularly appropriate.

The crisis is eliminated... Wu Mei smiled and said: "He is trying to vent his anger for Goro with his bad intentions!"

"Speaking of Goro, how is that kid? Was he ever panicked?"

Li Zhi thought of his own experience back then.

At that time, he was just a little transparent. The brothers fought over each other, and no one took him seriously.

Today's prince is different, at least he has the love of his parents.

But will loving too much be conceited? Will you lose your courage because of this?

"Wulang?" Wu Mei covered her mouth and chuckled, "The concubine went to see him quietly once, and he was busy sorting out his study notes."

Brave and knowledgeable, not bad!

Li Zhi squinted his eyes, "Goro went to the sixth part this time, which caused a lot of backlash. This is a test, and Goro did a good job. But the outside world has a lot of slander and complaints. These days can be called a miasma."

Wu Mei sneered and said: "Those people should be dealt with. The concubine thinks it's best to confiscate the house. The principal culprit will be exiled, and the family members will be confiscated as slaves."

Don't give your opponent any chance to repeat it once you make a move!

Li Zhi nodded slightly, "It's not necessary."

You are so indecisive!

Wu Mei was silent.

Li Zhi walked outside the door and said, "Let the prince watch them and interrogate those people."

Wu Mei's eyes lit up...

This is a real slap in the face.

"Hurry up and call the prince."

Shaopeng made a trip in person.

"Your Highness!"

Li Hong was sorting out his notes.

"What is it?"

Shaopeng said respectfully: "The queen summons me."

Li Hong looked at most of the notes that had been sorted out, and said in pain: "Help Gu take care, and no one is allowed to move." ..."

Otherwise he wants to die.

All the way to the queen.

"Goro, Yang Xian explained."

Wu Mei was very happy, "You, Aye, are very happy, saying that you are promising. By the way, you put down what you are doing and go watch them interrogate those criminals."

She got up, supported by two strong palace servants.

"By the way, remember... keep your head high."

Wu Mei had expectations in her eyes.

The prince is out of the palace.

This time, he also brought a lot of guards to the Ministry of War.

The Ministry of War and the Ministry of Officials, plus a Baiqi are interrogating the relevant generals.

"His Royal Highness is here."

Everyone stood up to greet each other.

Li Hong walked outside the door.

Starting from Ren Yaxiang, everyone saluted in turn.

"I have seen His Highness!"

The voice echoed in the Ministry of War one by one.

Li Hong raised his head slightly, with a calm expression. He walked in slowly.

Hao Mi looked from behind him, saw the important officials who were leaning forward, and saw the straight waist of the prince.

With Yang Xian's explanation, the case progressed very quickly.

"Ninety percent!"

Cheng Zhijie cursed, "Ninety percent of the two hundred or so lowly dog ​​slaves have convincing evidence. It doesn't matter if these lowly dog ​​slaves hang out in the army, but once there is a war, does Datang rely on these people to lead the army to fight? ?”

He said fearfully: "At the beginning when the crown prince investigated the matter, the old man didn't take it seriously. He felt that the crown prince was troublesome. Now it seems that the old man is wrong..."

Liang Jianfang said angrily: "Such bad things have happened in the army for a long time, but we just didn't take care of them. How did we take care of them at that time? There are so many generals, and one of them is a famous general whose relatives and friends always want to be promoted. Don't you do it? Then you can only turn a blind eye and close your eyes. After these years... it has become more and more serious, and it has become a scourge."

Cheng Zhijie closed his eyes and opened them after a long time, "I'm sorry for the late Emperor."

Liang Jianfang sighed, "Yes."

Then Cheng Zhijie and Liang Jianfang entered the palace to plead guilty.

"The old minister was entrusted by the late emperor... these years, he has ignored some things in the army. The old minister deserves death..."

Cheng Zhijie cried bitterly, "The old minister has no face to see the late emperor..."

After Cheng Zhijie's death, he must be buried in Zhaoling, which is a great honor for his ministers. At this moment, he said that he had no face to see the first emperor, which was a kind of self-punishment.

Liang Jianfang also burst into tears all the time, and the cries of the two veterans shook the palace.

The emperor was moved, and got up to help the two old men up.

"Without Cheng Qing and Liang Qing's loyalty these years, how would Datang and Zhen be stable? People are not sages, and no one can do anything wrong. Come and help me."

After a heart-to-heart exchange between the monarch and his ministers, after leaving the palace, Cheng Zhijie sat in the imperial city, and Liang Jianfang personally took action to track down the guards...

The old man made a move, and the resistance Baiqi encountered was gone.

When they no longer care about unspoken rules, the rules are a joke.

The generals were pulled out one by one, Liang Jianfang just pressed the handle of the knife, and they all scrambled to explain their promotion path.

"There are people in the court who are good at being officials, and there are people in the army who are good at being promoted."

Jia Ping'an returned home with 'bruises all over his body' and immediately asked for leave.

Di Renjie came to visit him and was quite shocked when he mentioned this matter.

"The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant's nest. These people are ants and insects. They are digging the foundation of the Tang Dynasty. Fortunately, those people still talk about the rules of the army. It's just you for me and I for you. Everyone covers up and divides the fat. .”

Di Renjie's knowledge today is not the same as before, and he has learned a lot from getting along with Jia Ping'an day and night.

"Clean up the military to prepare for the next war."

Jia Pingan's eyes were burning, "I can't wait."

He hopes to go to the country of Wa, but Tang Xu and others estimated that they will reach the seaside soon. As for finding Yinshan... and then pass the news back, Jia Pingan thinks there will be something interesting in the second half of this year.

Once found, without his urging, the courtiers and ministers will turn green eyes, the household department Dou Dexuan will go crazy, and he will dare to beat anyone who dares to stop the dispatch of troops.

"It is said that many people are cursing today."

Di Renjie smiled gloatingly.

The high spirits of those people when they criticized the prince at the beginning turned into humiliation at this moment.

The trio of Shandong gentry in the Guozijian found that something was wrong.

Walking in the Imperial College, Lu Shunyi noticed that some students were looking at him with strange eyes.

"How dare you despise the old man?"

Lu Shunyi was furious. Just as he was about to ask a question, two students beside him were muttering...

"Mr. Lu, didn't they say that the prince was young and frivolous? They also said that this matter must have been provoked by Duke Jia... I don't know if their faces hurt at this moment."

"Why does it hurt? At the beginning they were so proud that they would definitely let the mathematics school be cornered, but now? The mathematics school is in full swing, but they have their tails between their legs... I have never seen them blush."

"They know Confucianism, and they don't know anything other than Confucianism. When they see new learning, they will suppress it...Junjun Jia even went to the palace to teach the crown prince. Don't think it must be new learning. So they hated it..."

"Mr. Jia has made great military exploits. Don't they know as much about the affairs of the army? The prince has learned from him, so this time he must have targeted the target, but they... hey! This time they have made a big mistake."

"But I don't see them being ashamed."

Lu Shunyi turned back blankly.

On the way, he met a small official. In the past, this small official would flatter him when they met, but today the small official passed by without squinting.

Back at the duty room, Wang Sheng was complaining, "The eyes of those students looking at the old man are all wrong, especially those students who transferred from mathematics, they look at the old man as if they were looking at an enemy."

Li Jing came in from the outside, and threw the scroll on the table as soon as he came in, and swears rarely, "You bitch slave, how dare you secretly slander the old man!"

Lu Shunyi said calmly: "I thought the crown prince was going to stumble this time, but I didn't expect to make a great contribution. I shouldn't express my opinion..."

"Mr. Lu's words are wrong." Wang Sheng smiled wryly and said, "This is the Imperial College, students will ask you if you don't express your opinion, why don't you keep your mouth shut?"

As a gentleman, if Lu Shunyi and others don't say a word about this, the students will think that they are old-fashioned and cowardly, and they dare not express their opinions when encountering problems...

Teacher's dignity! It must be accumulated by words and deeds.

"It's better than being despised by others today." Li Jing's face was flushed. "Some people say that the knowledge we teach is useless. What makes me furious is...some people say that Jia Ping'an is a hundred times smarter than me..."

A scholar can be killed but not humiliated!

Boom!

Li Jing took pictures of the case, his face flushed.

Lu Shunyi said softly: "The Guozijian are all the children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries. We teach here to bring our relationship closer. The gentry need our presence, so..."

"Bear the humiliation!"

A small official came to the door and said: "Someone from the palace went to Jia's house just now. Your Majesty said that the Duke of Jia has taught the prince to be effective. He will reward you very much!"

Lu Shunyi's face couldn't hold back.

"call!"

He spat out a mouthful of depression.
