Li Qitian acted cautiously, and naturally he would not easily listen to someone else. But the time on this book is too coincidental, even though Li Qitian didn't want to believe that the Lu family would sell an official, he always had doubts in his heart.
Others don't know, but Lu Tingzhong traveled to the south under the pretense of inspecting people's conditions, but in fact he was monitoring Pang Xiao, and Li Qitian also arranged for him to do other things in private.
If Lu Tingzhong bought the official Vendor and then became the imperial envoy, it would be terrible to think about it carefully.
Li Qitian was full of depression, and with a stroke of his pen, dismissed the official account.
Who knows, this book was rejected once, and it will be posted again soon.
Li Qitian rejected it again, and the Ministry of Personnel continued to go up, but it was actually connected three times for this matter.
Li Qitian's face was dark at this time, and he made a note of the Lu family in his heart.
Good Lu Heng, how dare you play with me!
After the Qingming Festival, Pang Xiao's body finally got better day by day. After returning to Beijing for more than a month of recuperation, Prince Zhongshun finally attended the court meeting.
When Li Qitian saw Pang Xiao going to court and standing in the line of civil servants, he was a little angry again, and he expressed a few words of symbolic concern under the fire.
The rumors about his "treating heroes" have just subsided, and Li Qitian really doesn't want to cause trouble again. Therefore, about Pang Xiao's post after returning to Beijing, it really needs to be carefully considered.
Li Qitian absent-mindedly listened to the deliberation of the courtiers, and before he could decide where to arrange Pang Xiao, Duke Chang Guo actually stood up again.
"Your Majesty, this minister wants to attend Prince Zhongshun..."
The content of Chang Guogong's impeachment of Pang Xiao is a commonplace. During this period of time, the impeachment will be carried out after a few days. Every time Li Qitian only said "to be investigated".
However, today Duke Chang and the officials seem to have made an appointment, not only talking about the content of the previous performances like a barrage of guns. Someone even shouted:
"Prince Zhongshun seems to be a loyal minister, but in fact he is a dwarf.
"Prince Zhongshun was ordered to guard the south. During this period, there was no chaos in the south, but he just fulfilled his duties. In this way, he dared to ask for credit, and even incited people to show credit for himself. It was nothing more than persecuting the sage to arrange for him. higher office."
"For the sake of his official career, this person does everything he can! In the affairs of the court, he has not achieved anything, and in terms of character, he is really inferior and abhorrent. How can such a person be worthy of staying in the capital? It is necessary to let him reflect on his life before he can be used. "
As soon as these words came out, the hall was quiet for a while.
Many people's eyes were focused on Pang Xiao.
In the past, Pang Xiao said that he was ill and would not go to court, and he could only go with them if he had any participation. Now that Pang Xiao is present, those who agree with Pang Xiao are anxious in their hearts, thinking about how Pang Xiao will defend. These ministers who support Pang Xiao know that Pang Xiao is not a soft persimmon who can be flattened and rounded by others. . They can finally vent their anger.
But who knows, Pang Xiao actually kept his mouth shut and bowed his head reverently, as if confessing his guilt.
This surprised everyone, including Li Qitian.
It also made the officials even more excited, and they all came up with ideas on how to punish Pang Xiao.
Duke Chang seemed to be slapped with blood, speaking as if he had toppled a carload of walnuts, and there was no breath in the middle.
"This minister agrees. The old minister believes that what Prince Zhongshun has done is really not worthy of the word 'loyalty', and he has lost the grace of the Holy Spirit. It is better to let Prince Zhongshun reflect on his life. Now that the world is settled, Huichuan County should also start construction. There is a lack of one here. A prime minister supervises the operation, and the minister thinks that Prince Zhongshun is qualified for this position, so that Prince Zhongshun can supervise the construction of the imperial tomb to forgive his sins, and it will also give him time to reflect on his guilt.”
The officials' eyes lit up, and they all agreed.
The ministers who supported Pang Xiao secretly scolded Chang Guogong in their hearts. This old age is really vicious. The imperial envoys who have served as the supervisor of the construction of the imperial mausoleum have not ended well. Chang Guogong is pushing Pang Xiao to his death!
Some people couldn't help it and stood up to refute.
"Prince Zhongshun is a hero, and his talents are outstanding. The Holy One must have great use. The construction of the imperial mausoleum should be done by Prince Zhongshun. Isn't it a bull's knife to kill a chicken?"
The officials were naturally dissatisfied when they heard the words.
The scene became chaotic, and the ministers quarreled. Only Pang Xiao, the party involved, remained quiet.
At this time, Li Qitian's mind was turning.
In fact, about the matter of participating in the performance of Pang Xiao, he also had a real headache. It was all because at first he had a mind to read jokes, and then the Duke of Chang Guo led people to toss and toss. The first time he did not stop it, and later he did not correct the name of Pang Xiao. In the future, there would be no chance to convict Pang Xiao, not to mention that Li Qitian was still awkward.
Regarding the appointment of Pang Xiao, Li Qitian has been worried all the time. Naturally, he did not want to give him another chance to take power, but the public opinion outside is huge. If he is not given a position, he will confirm the rumor that he treats loyal ministers harshly.
At the time of such a dilemma, Duke Chang proposed to let Pang Xiao be the commissioner in charge of building the imperial mausoleum, which made Li Qitian's eyes shine.
It can not only keep Pang Xiao away from the center of power, but also can catch his mistakes at any time. It can also make him less troublesome in front of his eyes, speak out, and build the imperial mausoleum for him. For Pang Xiao, it is also a kind of honor, it is simply killing two birds with one stone.
Thinking of this, Pang Xiao put down a stone in his heart. Finger happily tapped the armrest of the dragon chair.
The ministers below were still noisy and cheerful, and Li Qitian looked at them as if he was watching a monkey show.
Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Lu Heng, and Li Qitian immediately added a new idea.
Dare to play him like a monkey, buy an official Vend Jue to control the court to employ people, Lu Heng should also teach some lessons.
"Ahem." Li Qitian coughed lightly.
The loyal ministers were stunned for a moment when they heard the sound, and then they all shut up, and the hall immediately returned to silence.
Li Qitian said: "Zhi Xi."
"Your Highness." Pang Xiao saluted.
"The project in Huichuan County has been suspended for a long time, and I really need a trustworthy person to do this supervising commission, and I will leave this task to you."
All the ministers in the court hall could hear the needle falling quietly for a while.
The fierce generals who had just quarreled with the officials who impeached Pang Xiao were indignant, and some people wanted to stand up and say something to Pang Xiao.
Unexpectedly, Pang Xiao took the first step to salute, and answered without objection, obediently and fearfully: "My minister obeys the order. Thank you, Sheng Shang Longen."
Li Qitian nodded with a smile, and said, "Uncle Zhongyi."
Lu Heng was thinking about Li Qitian's actions today with his head lowered, but he was stunned for a moment when he was called, and he hurriedly stood up and saluted, "This minister is here."
"I attach great importance to the project in Huichuan County. Since Prince Zhongshun is supervised by the Prime Minister, the position of the county magistrate will be handed over to you. You and Prince Zhongshun are both my humerus ministers. I think you two will be able to cooperate fully and work together. Get this done."
Lu Heng was already shocked beyond words.
Since the Lumen aristocratic family secretly funded Li Qitian's uprising, it has been more than ten years since the Great Zhou Dynasty was established.
Lu Heng is confident that among the honorable and noble family, there is no one who can have a more sacred heart than him.
But who could have imagined that the sage would suddenly ask him to be a small magistrate of Huichuan County, and he would do the thankless task of repairing the imperial mausoleum
You must know that in the position of the magistrate of Huichuan, an unknown number of people have died in a row.
Lu Heng was both apprehensive and unconvinced in his heart.
But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Pang Xiao, such a tyrannical figure, but now a well-behaved cat, even without objection, agreed to be the prime minister to supervise the repair of the emperor's mausoleum, which shows that the situation is serious now.
He knew that the sage had always been afraid of Pang Xiao.
But if Pang Xiao was obedient and obedient, he stood up to refute, no matter what the sage's will was for, he would only lead to the sage's dissatisfaction.
After a thousand thoughts, Lu Heng finally knelt down and salutes, "I thank you for the grace, and I will do my best to share your worries for the saint."
"Well." Li Qitian responded with a long voice.
Because of the obedience of the two, Li Qitian was in a good mood, and he was a little worried that his appointment today would make people talk behind his back, so Li Qitian added, "Zhi Xi is not in a hurry to take office now, so you raise him. Well, it's not too late to set off, the matter of the imperial mausoleum will be handed over to the two Aiqings, and the two of you can discuss and set off."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister obeys the decree." Pang Xiao saluted neatly.
Li Qitian expressed his sympathy to Lu Heng again, "Uncle Zhongyi is newly married, so you should take your family as well."
"Yes, I thank you for your grace."
When Li Qitian accomplished this, his mood became better and better, and he was still smiling even after returning to the imperial study after the court dispersal.
Not to mention how Pang Xiao and Lu Heng went home respectively to arrange their departure.
The news that Prince Zhongshun and Uncle Zhongyi are about to set off for the repair of the imperial tomb, spread throughout the court and the public in the blink of an eye.
On the one hand, the people's argument is that they are far away from the struggle for power after all, and they don't really understand the affairs of the court.
But those who were rolling around in the courtroom saw this matter in their eyes.
In the Hu Ben army, who admired Pang Xiao quite a bit, several generals got this news, and everyone was full of righteous indignation.
"I didn't expect that the prince had fought so many long battles to become holy, and in the end, he would end up repairing the emperor's mausoleum."
"Grandma's! What kind of official is Xiuhuang Mausoleum? Ah? Isn't this using a bull's knife to poke ants?"
"The most important thing is that the officials who built the emperor's mausoleum have not seen a few good endings. This is to put the prince to death!"
…
Everyone was indignant, but some inspirational ones stayed awake and persuaded the angry people around them, "Okay, okay, everyone, don't make a noise, spread the word for people to listen to, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for the prince. The prince is loyal to the sage, naturally It’s a joyful acceptance of the decree, let’s say this, if you let the conscientious people listen to it, but you still want to slander the prince and dissatisfied with the sage, wouldn’t the prince be even more wronged?”
"Having said that, the Holy One is too..."
"You still say it! Don't stop talking!"
Several people reminded each other, for fear of misfortune coming out of their mouths, but even the one who kept his senses to stop others was still angry in his heart.
Since ancient times, there have been cunning rabbits and dead dogs cooking. How long has it been since the establishment of the Great Zhou Dynasty? It's too fast to unload the mill and kill the donkey!
Doing so, how many of you dare to do things for the person above
