Chapter 1391 forced resignation
He walked back to the Central Plains and gave his mount to an orphan and widowed mother. This persistence in trust and righteousness was praised by the world. The story of giving up the horse twice was also sung for the world.
Seven years later, Wang Yifang was promoted to the court as the sixth-rank attendant censor with his contribution to education. The case happened to be that of the Prime Minister Li Yifu, a prisoner in Dali Temple, broke out. None of the officials in the court dared to expose Li Yifu. Wang Yifang, who had just entered the court for sixteen days, stood up without hesitation, counted the crimes of Li Yifu and impeached him.
However, Li Yi's mansion was in power at that time, and even the emperor did not want to punish the prime minister who was very easy to use because of such a trivial matter. So Wang Yifang was eventually demoted to the Laizhou Sihu.
Wang Yifang worked as a servant in Laizhou for several years. Although he had made contributions to education, he was suppressed by the prime minister Li Yifu, but the assessment was not possible. So Wang Yifang simply resigned and returned to Changhua, Weizhou, Hebei to continue to concentrate on teaching.
Now in his hometown, the academy he founded has more than a thousand disciples and disciples, and is very famous.
In fact, Wang Yifang is two years younger than Li Yifu.
In terms of origin, both of them are actually similar. They both belong to the kind of poor and common people, both of whom are knowledgeable and talented. Even Wang Yifang was a serious imperial examination and Mingjing, but the two were completely different in their careers.
Li Yifu was good at engaging in the camp and actively clinging to the powerful and had no position at all. Wang Yifang was an idealist, loyal, filial, trustworthy, not afraid of the powerful and noble, determined to be Wei Zheng's second. Therefore, when he was prime minister of Wei Zheng, he refused to marry Wei Zheng's niece, but after Wei Zheng died, he married. He had a good relationship with Zhang Liang, but he never wanted to borrow Zhang Liang's path as prime minister.
Facing the emperor's favorite minister, Li Yifu, he dared to face criticism and impeachment.
Even Qin Lang admires such a person very much.
"Mr. Li, do you know that the tens of thousands of students in Luoyang School City and scholars from all over the world in Beijing are preparing for a big parade."
"They are going to cause trouble again?"
"Do you know why you plan to march?"
Li Yifu frowned, "The prime minister was too kind to them before. The court punished them severely for causing trouble last time, and soon they became honest. The prime minister was kind to them and abolished all previous punishments. As a result, these people were ungrateful, but they were about to make trouble again. If I asked me, I had to deal with them hard and punished them severely, and the heads, professors and others of the Imperial College and other schools in the school city.............................................
"This year, the Imperial College's budget allocation will also be reduced..."
Qin Lang interrupted Li Yifu's words.
"The students' demand is to re-invest the case of Changsun Gong's rebellion. They all believe that this is an unjust case and that Changsun should be retaliated and reversed."
After hearing this, Li Yifu was shocked and could not help but feel shocked.
He is the presiding judge of this case and he was in charge of it. If the case is overturned, he will also be overturned.
"Prime Minister, this case cannot be reversed. You know, this case involves too much, and it has been many years since then. What is the point of reversing the case? Instead, it will be called a complete denial of the Kaiyuan Dynasty's Supreme Emperor!"
"This will cause trouble, a big mess."
"Mr. Li, what is the case of Changsun Gong back then? I believe you, the organizer, knows better than me. Now that the crowd is in a raging situation, this case cannot be suppressed. Besides, I also want to seek justice for Changsun Gong and the others. After all, Changsun Gong is also my father-in-law." Qin Lang looked at Li Yi Mansion with a expressionless face.
Li Yifu felt his heart getting colder and colder.
It's like falling into an ice cave.
"The prime minister puts the overall situation first. Now that the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, the situation in the court is not stable, and a war has begun in the Western Regions. If the center becomes chaotic at this time, there will be endless troubles."
"Prime Minister, I am yours." Li Yifu was so angry that he could no longer calm down at this time, and even said such explicit words.
Qin Lang was unmoved.
Compared to Xu Jingzong, who is seventy years old, Li Yi's mansion is less than fifty years old. This person is more ambitious and has more bottomless behavior. Qin Lang does not intend to stay in the court for a long time, so he is very worried that Li Yi's mansion will stay.
Originally, he had to wait until the transitional stage was over before talking to Li Yifu. Now under the oppression of the situation, Qin Lang decided to take the opportunity to show off with him.
"Mr. Li, it won't take long to go back to the South China Sea. The climate and scenery there are good. Is Mr. Li interested in going there with me? I'll give you an island to Mr. Li, and then I'll build a manor villa and enjoy the blue sky, blue sea and white beaches there, which is very enjoyable."
Li Yifu was stunned and lost his mind.
He could hear what Qin Lang meant.
But a little unwilling to accept it.
He was still so young that he had only been prime minister for ten years.
"Mr. Qin, I'm afraid of heat."
"Haha, Luzon is actually very cool. Of course, if Mr. Li is afraid of heat and doesn't want to go to Luzon, I can also arrange for Mr. Li to go to Bohai or Hei Shui, but it's not hot at all."
Bohai, black water.
What the hell is that? It is further northeast of Liaodong, the bitter and cold place of Baishui and Heishui. Half of the year is ice and snow, and the Black Water River is thousands of miles away from Luoyang.
What did he do in that kind of ghost place?
When his eyes met Qin Lang's eyes, Li Yifu shivered involuntarily, and there was murderous aura in his eyes.
"Duke Qin?"
"Old Li, in fact, I'm all for your own good. Your friendship with my Qin family is excellent. I don't want to see you lose your reputation or even die."
"Duke Qin?" Li Yifu's voice was already trembling.
"If you resign from the prime minister and retire now, the court will always protect you. No matter how the case is reversed in the future, you will try not to involve you. I can even guarantee you that after you leave, some of the past things you and your son-in-law will not be investigated and liquidated again."
Li Yifu was in great pain.
It took more than 30 years to climb up step by step from the southwestern border of the empire, Songzhou, Chang'an, and Luoyang. He finally gained the power and status today, but now he has to give up.
"Old Xu will also resign with you." Qin Lang comforted Li Yi's mansion.
Taking this opportunity to let Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu retreat together, it would be considered as a way to avoid any future troubles. At the same time, it would be an explanation for the students. At least they can trust Qin Lang more now, so the actions of the students in Luoyang School City will be controllable.
There will be no trouble.
"I will ask the emperor to allow you to retire, but I will retire with special promotion and the salary will be the same. I will also give you the title of Duke of the State, and I will give you a son to be a Duke of the County."
What this said reveals is that don’t toast and not eat wine.
Qin Lang's guarantee is quite reliable. If it is replaced by other people, their old accounts will be settled in the future by someone else's withdrawal.
Unless they have the prestige of Qin Lang, many disciples and old friends in the court can always speak for the Qin family, otherwise, who will keep protecting them if they leave?
Li Yifu was in pain.
Before Qin Jun supported Li Xian ascended the throne, and he was changed from the Secretariat to the Secretariat, and endured it. Qin Lang came and accepted the Secretariat, and only retained the title of Tongpingzhang as prime minister. After all, he was still the prime minister, so there was nothing to say.
But now, this is to completely withdraw from the court.
Seeing that Qin Lang was tough and there was no room for this matter to turn around, Li Yifu weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
"I have today, and I am all taken care of by King Chungwu and Saburo. Now Saburo says I want me to retreat, so I will retreat. Saburo asks me to retreat to Luzon, so I will go to Luzon."
Qin Lang smiled slightly.
"I've thought about it? I'm not afraid of the heat?"
Li Yifu smiled bitterly.
"Sanlang also said Luzon was very cool."
"good."
Qin Lang thought for a while, "Old Li, I think you have to go to the place to experience it first, and avoid this limelight for the time being."
Qin Lang gave his eldest son, Li Jin, the prince of the Eastern Palace, and was appointed as the Sihu of Zhenzhou from the seventh rank. Li Qia, the chief of the Right Leader of the East Palace, and was appointed as the military officer of Tingzhou. Qianniu was prepared for Li Yang, and was appointed as the military officer of Laizhou Sicang. Li Zhan, the commander of the Left Yulin Military Academy, was appointed as the military officer of Caozhou.
His son-in-law, Liu Yuanzhen, was appointed as the chief clerk of the Shaofu, and was renamed Qizhou as the ninth rank of the record.
······
Four sons and one son-in-law were basically demoted, and were demoted to several levels in a row.
But as long as Qin Lang can do what he said, Changsun Wuji's case will be rehabilitated and will not be investigated in the end. He and his son-in-law and his son-in-law were not investigated before, and even if they were demoted to other places this time, they would still have a good result.
After all, they are still young, and as long as they are still in the officialdom, they will always have a chance to make a comeback.
At this time, the depreciation was a good arrangement to avoid the storm in the capital.
Li Yifu agreed to go to Luzon.
This is a transaction.
The conditions given by Qin Lang are quite good. This is not a blow to the enemy, but a care for his own people. Although Li Yifu is unwilling to accept it, he is helpless.
When he left Qin Lang's public housing, Li Yifu was as if his backbone had been removed, and he was listless and depressed. When he met Di Renjie who came over with a stack of official documents, he no longer had a smile on his face and was reluctant to take care of him.
Di Renjie sent the documents to Qin Lang's case.
"Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu will officially write to the saint today and resign from the minister to retire."
Di Renjie was extremely surprised.
"The rehabilitation of the Changsun Gong's case has begun, and this is a good progress." Qin Lang said.
Di Renjie became excited. This was indeed good news that excited him. Although Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu were not in charge of the three provinces, they were still the prime minister of the Political Affairs Hall. Moreover, Xu Jingzong was prime minister for more than 20 years and Li Yifu was prime minister for ten years. These two people were very powerful and connected in the court. At the same time, they were promoted by Qin Lang. They were definitely the core of Qin Zhan’s confidant.
When these two men went to see each other, they made great progress in the matter of preserving the emperor and destroying Qin.
"The Prime Minister of Qin is dedicated to his country, which is admirable."
