Is the emperor going to attack the Qin family?

This was Lai Ji's first idea, but he felt it was unlikely. Qin Lang had retired for many years. Although he was given the title of a different surname of the King of Qi, he stayed on the island of Luzon overseas and was only concerned about the government affairs.

Although the emperor always retained the title of Grand Tutor Qin Lang, the Grand Secretary of Hongwenguan and the National History, Qin Lang simply did not care about the government affairs and rarely submitted any memorials and comments.

Last time, Qin Lang submitted a memorial to support the imperial court in the use of troops to the Piao Kingdom, expressing his willingness to provide four shopping malls in the south of the Piao Kingdom to the imperial navy.

Qin Lang is simply uncontested and will not threaten the court at all. Moreover, the annual tax payment provided by Luzon to the court is far greater than that of Guangnan Road. Even after paying the tax payment of Luzon's third, the Qin family will pay an additional amount of money and many other tributes to the emperor every year. This money alone exceeds one million guan a year.

The imperial court used troops to the peninsula for ten years, and used troops to fight for another three years. Luzon has always sent troops to fight under the orders. Although it has always been a size of only two or three thousand people, it has always been obedient to the tune and the Xuan.

Now the emperor has made Wei, who is not allowed to be on the table, the emperor is so strange about this. Isn’t it clear that he doesn’t want to make Qin the queen and Li Xian the crown prince?

Lai Ji recalled some new regulations that the emperor had recently taken against Luzon, such as revoking the right to mint coins, and no longer giving the Qin family the privilege of self-use of mining and smelting.

These seem to be signs.

"Your Majesty, I ask what Wei Zhaoyi is from, why did I have no knowledge of this person before?" Lai Ji finally couldn't sit still and got up and asked in public.

"Wei Zhaoyi is the Wei family of Jingzhao, Wei Ting's granddaughter. His father is Wei Xuanzhen, the governor of Puzhou, and his ancestor Cao Wang Dian Army Wei Hongbiao."

Wei Ting and Li Shimin's Concubine Wei are cousins, and the same great-grandfather Wei Xu.

Wei Zhaoyi's grandfather Wei Hongbiao and Wei Ting are of the same generation, but their relationship is even more distant. Wei Ting and Wei Hongbiao are the same as the Emperor Wei Zhenxi.

Concubine Wei's great-grandfather was the famous general Wei Xiaokuan. Wei Ting's father was Wei Chong, the Minister of the Civil Affairs Department of the Sui Dynasty. Wei Ting had a sister who married Yang Ming, the King of Qi of Sui, and then his daughter married Li You, the King of Qi of Tang Dynasty.

Jingzhao Weidu is known to everyone in the world.

But Lai Ji still said, "Your Majesty is talking about Wei Xuanzhen, a military officer in Puzhou. I heard that although he has several daughters, only one woman is suitable for marriage. Not long ago, he just adopted the second prince, King Zhao as his concubine. Your Majesty will not say this woman, right?"

Li Yin's eyes narrowed slightly.

Isn't this a question knowingly?

When Lai Ji saw the emperor not answering, he did not stop and asked again, "I heard a Wei Zhaoyi suddenly appear, and I thought the saint was talking about Wei, the former Princess of Qi."

As soon as these words were said, the emperor's face was already very ugly.

King Li You of Qi was the half-brother of the emperor. During the Zhenguan period, he was killed and deposed as a commoner. He was buried with the courtesy of a Duke of the State. After Li You died, his wife Wei returned to the Wei family because she had no children.

After Li Yin succeeded to the throne, he brought his sister-in-law into the palace. He has been living in the palace for no reason for his reputation and no share in the past few years, but he gave birth to a son and two princesses for the emperor, which is said to be very favored.

This incident is an open secret, but because of the precedent of the Holy Ancestor Li Shimin taking his sister-in-law, Princess Qi, Yang, into the palace, this incident was not that sensational. After all, Li You was not killed by Li Yin.

The emperor did not give Wei's name, so everyone pretended not to know.

Lai Ji said this at this time, undoubtedly very dissatisfied with the emperor.

He had taken the vanguard of his younger brother to the palace and gave birth to children. Now he robbed his son to take a new concubine into the palace, and even wanted to be named Chen Fei. In addition, before Li Yin ascended the throne, he had an affair with the Martial Artsman of the Saint Ancestor, and later he included Xu Chongrong of the Saint Ancestor into the palace. How bad is this personal virtue?

"Your Majesty, the harem of the Tang Dynasty, the one queen and four concubines all have a quota of names. How can you make a new name as you wish?"

"Besides, the word "Chen" is beyond the reach."

"In addition, Wei Xuanzhen's daughter was originally a concubine newly accepted by the prince Zhao Wang, and another Wei family was even more a man who had the emperor's brother Li You who had not yet died. It was against the ethical principles of the saint's introduction to it by the palace."

······

Li Yin's eyes were very bad, and he came to Ji to say these words in public to be disrespectful to him.

"I summon all the ministers to come today, just to inform them about this matter, not to compete with them." After the emperor said that, he asked Shangguan Yi, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, to draft the enthronement system.

Lai Ji did not expect that the emperor would be like this. This was an act of disrespect for the prime minister.

He angrily spoke out loudly, but Li Yin was unmoved.

Even the disdainful look made Lai Ji feel extremely humiliated.

"Since the saint cannot trust the minister and cannot listen to his advice, how can he stay in the court and serve as the minister of the government affairs hall?"

I came to Ji to resign.

The minister Li Yifu stood up and persuaded him, "Donald Lai, the saint enthroned concubines in the harem. This is the family matter of the emperor, why should Lai be so angry?"

The Chief Censor Cui Yixuan asked directly, "Lai Pushe is so fiercely opposed, but because Lai Gong is the righteous brother of Concubine Qin?"

Lai Ji won the championship in anger.

Li Yin looked at all this coldly, not even a basic retention.

"The war in the Western Regions is about to begin, and a respected prime minister needs to be in charge. I have appointed Guo Xiaoke as the chief marching chief of Khurasan. Now I will be appointed Laigong as the Xuanwei envoy of the four prefectures of Persia, Tochar, Zhaowu, and Khasa, as well as the Sima of the Crusade of Khurasan. I will leave Beijing to take office today."

He was dismissed from the position of Laiji Tongshu's disciple Pingzhang, the right servant of the Shangshu Province, and the prince Zhanshi served as the position of the prince.

"Shangguan Shuidiao, let's write it."

Shangguan Yi looked at Yi, who was the same year. At the same time, they took the same exam. The brothers of the Lai family were the No. 1 picks, and he was the Tanhua. They were both the examiners of Qin Lang. In recent years, they belonged to the same faction and were very smooth.

After reaching Ji, he became the Grand Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.

Now that she saw Lai Ji being dismissed from the prime minister, Shangguan Yi couldn't help but sigh, but under the urging of the emperor, she could only reluctantly advise him. If the emperor did not accept it, she could only write Lai Ji's book on the pretext of the prime minister.

Once he was demoted to Persia in the Western Regions, thousands of miles away, Laiji, who was in his fifties, didn't know if he had a chance to come back.

Shangguan Yi's writing style and calligraphy were both very good, and he also created the style of Shangguan's style of poetry, which was appointed Wei as Concubine Chen, and then appointed the prime minister to make a book.

Li Yin has seen it and is very satisfied.

However, looking at the crown left by Lai Ji in the hall, Li Yin was still a little unhappy.

He called Shangguan Yi and asked him to add a word to the book of Wei's enthronement.

The word "王" was added to the imperial concubine.

Imperial Concubine Wei.

Then he asked Shangguan Yi to draft another seal book to give his sister-in-law, the imperial concubine of the Wei family, who had never been named.

Shangguan Yi was stunned.

The fourth concubine of the queen and the four concubines have set up a new imperial concubine. Why do you have another imperial concubine?

What about the original Concubine Qin?

Li Yin said, "The original names of the four concubines of Guishu, Dexian remained unchanged, but two concubines were added before, namely the Imperial Concubine and the Imperial Concubine, who were under the Empress and above the Four Concubines. Below the Empress in the Harem, the first class was the Second Class, the Fourth Lady, and the Third Class was the Ninth Concubine."

Two Wei were granted the imperial concubine and the other was granted the imperial concubine.

The two sisters Qin Guifei, who were originally the most favored, had their titles not changed, but their status was reduced by a level.

Originally, everyone thought that after Changsun Wuji and others were cleaned, Concubine Qin would be awarded the queen. Who knew that now Wei's aunts and nieces came out.

It's unexpected.

But thinking about the fact that Emperor Xuan of Northern Zhou, Yuwen Yun, could enthrone five queens at the same time, it was not earth-shaking that Li Yin would add two imperial concubines in front of the fourth wife.

The most important thing is the attitude of the ministers.

Laiji firmly opposed it and was kicked to Persia in the Western Regions.

The Shizhong Li Yifu just advised Lai Ji to say that this was the family affairs of the emperor. His attitude was very obvious and he was completely on the emperor's side.

The Secretariat Ling Xu Jingzong never said anything, and obviously did not want to disobey the emperor.

As for Cui Dunli, the uncle of Concubine Qin's sister, Ji Laiji has been pale and panicked after being demoted.

This Zuo Pushe dared not stand up at this time.

On the side of the Privy Council, Li Jicheng Yaojin, Su Ding Fang, Niu Jinda and other generals were not in Beijing. Although Duan Zhixuan and Zhang Shigui had a good relationship with the Qin family, they both made a sound in the hall.

A court debate ended without long.

The emperor Li Yin, who had succeeded to the throne for almost fifteen years, has now completely grasped the power of the court, especially after completely cleaning up Changsun Wuji's party, there are not many people in the court who dare to disobey the emperor.

After all, Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang, Han Yuan and other veterans were all executed by the emperor without mercy, and even implicated in various families.

If the late emperor Li Shimin was in power, everyone could give advice. After all, Li Shimin was magnanimous, so there were Wei Zheng, Wang Gui and other votes of counselors, and there were also people like Xiao Yu who were verbally fooled. Anyway, the emperor would not be punished for his words.

But Li Yin is different.

The next day, the Hanlin Academy’s white mahjong Xuanxiao was cut off.

Li Yi's mansion was appointed as the Secretary of the Central Committee, and Xu Jingzong was the Left Pushe.

Cui Yixuan was appointed as the Minister of the Huangmen and the Minister of the Secretariat to be the minister.

Yuan Gongyu was appointed as the Chief Censor of the Censor.

Xue Yuanchao was appointed Minister of the Secretariat and was the third rank of the Secretariat.

The right servant Cui Dunli was appointed as the prince's secretary and was dismissed from prefecture.

This is no less than a major earthquake in the court.

Lai Ji was dismissed from prime minister, Cui Dunli was dismissed from prime minister, and both servants on the left and right were dismissed from prime minister at the same time. One was dismissed to the Western Regions, and the other was transferred to the Eastern Palace Crown Prince. But everyone knew that Prince Li Xiang was not favored by the emperor, and this throne could be in danger at any time, not to mention that Cui Dunli was the uncle of King Li Xian of Jin.

The official positions of Li Yifu and Xu Jingzong were adjusted. It was obvious that because Li Yifu was more active in establishing the Second Wei, he was awarded the title of the Secretariat by the emperor. Xu Jingzong did not say anything in the palace and changed his position as Zuo Pushe to punish him.

Cui Yixuan questioned Lai Ji in the hall, but he was immediately promoted from the Censor Zhongcheng to the Huangmen Assistant Minister and became prime minister. Another Zhongshu Sishu who had personally forced Changsun Wuji to death in Qianzhou was also promoted to the Censor Zhongcheng.

Xue Yuanchao was promoted to Secretariat and was appointed as prime minister. This was also a former servant of the Secretariat. His father Xue Shou was one of the eighteen scholars of the Qin Palace in Li Shimin. He died in the Tiance Prefecture Records Office and joined the army. His grandfather Xue Daoheng was even more famous. He was the Minister of Inner History of the Sui Dynasty and was also a famous poet at that time.

Of course, the most important thing about Xue Yuanchao being prime minister is that Xue Yuanchao has a good relationship with Li Yifu, and he is also the leader of the literary world of the Kaiyuan Dynasty. This literary talent is a family tradition. Because his literary talent is great, he is also the main figure in the palace singing and has a good relationship with the emperor.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that although this time, although Changsun Wuji was not as good as that of the time he was cleaned, things are not simple either.

Xu Jingzong sat in the study and sighed helplessly for a long time. Finally, he picked up his pen and wrote a long letter to Qin Lang who was far away in Luzon.

After writing the letter, Xu Jingzong hesitated for a long time and still sent it to him.

Whatever you worry about is coming, the wind is coming again!
