Chastity Layman

March.

Emperor Gaozu Taiwu was buried in Xianling.

In April, the god of the ancestors was worshipped at the Taimiao.

In May, Tejin and Yushi doctor Xiao Yu Jindian impeached Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Shangshu Zuopushe, Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Shifang Xuanling for rebellion.

The whole hall was in an uproar.

Fang Xuanling took the crown and went to seal in the palace, took the blame and resigned.

The emperor ordered him to temporarily suspend his duties at home for investigation.

In June, Wen Yanbo, the right servant of the Shangshu, died of illness at home. The emperor stayed in court for five days, posthumously presented Kaifu Yitong to the third division, bestowed the posthumous title of Gong, ordered the Ministry of Industry to build a main hall for him, and buried him in the land given by Liquan Zhaoling. It is specially decreed that the eldest son Wen Zhenbujiang and others will inherit the title of Duke of Yu State, and the second son Wen Ting will marry the imperial sister Qianjin Princess.

Shang Shusheng's left and right servants were all vacant all at once, which even caused the accumulation of Shang Shusheng's affairs to be dealt with in time, and caused a lot of confusion.

·······

After the early dynasty, the Zhongshumen went to the hall to discuss, and the left and right servants were vacant. Gao Shilian, who knew the affairs of the Ministry of officials, took the place of the left servant, and Dai Zhou, the Minister of the Ministry of household affairs, took the place of the right servant.

Today's meeting is presided over by Situ Changsun Wuji, who knows how to write and save trouble.

"Shangshu Province's affairs are complicated and cannot be left unattended for a long time. Fanggong's case should be urged to the third division to give a result. If they have no evidence, then Fanggong must be returned to Fanggong and let Fanggong come back to preside over Shangshu Province's affairs. False accusation against Fang Those who are public must also be held accountable and punished severely."

The one who spoke was Wang Gui who had been appointed Minister of Rites.

He used to be Zhongshu Ling, and was changed to be a servant, and because he quarreled with Xiao Yu in the case of Fang Xuanling, and even scolded his mother in court, he was recorded by Li Shimin, and he was directly changed to the Minister of Rites, but he still ordered to participate. affairs of state.

Wang Gui advocated for Fang Xuanling in the court, the main reason was that the two families were related. Fang Xuanling's wife was Fan Yanglu, who had been in-laws with Taiyuan Wang for hundreds of years, and Fang Xuanling's eldest son, Fang Yi. Zhi also got Fan Yang Lu's matchmaker and married the daughter of Wang's family in Taiyuan.

Because of this relationship, the two prime ministers, Wang Gui and Fang Xuanling, became relatives. Although they were not married to Wang Gui's daughter, they were also his niece, so they could be called in-laws.

The two formed an alliance through marriage, so naturally they each got what they needed.

Changsun Wuji tapped on the table lightly, "Wang Xianggong has something to say, don't speak so loudly. Regarding Fanggong's case, the company is still investigating. We will tell you the result. If there is no result yet, you can Isn't it too early to shout for Fang Gong to come back to preside over Shangshu Province?"

Wang Gui also responded unceremoniously to Changsun Wuji's ridicule, "You are not afraid of the slanting shadow. Fang Gong's conduct is admired by both the government and the public. The sage is even more aware. , I'm afraid it's wishful thinking!"

Qin Lang coughed twice, interrupting their quarrel.

"Eldest grandson, prince, please be at ease."

In the case of Xiao Yu's impeachment of Fang Xuanling, everyone knows that in the end there must be someone who wants to step down as prime minister, but it is more likely that Xiao Yu will go down.

Xiao Yu can also be regarded as a strange flower in the Tang Dynasty, the famous old Pao, and Qin Lang, the old and the young, are all well-known, and it is commonplace to pay homage to the prime minister six or seven times.

If Fang Xuanling really conspired against him, it must have been clear after such a long trial, but Fang Xuanling is still suspended at home until now, so it is obvious.

In fact, Qin Lang was also very troubled by this matter. Although he was the instigator, he was actually very opposed to doing this, because it meant starting a war.

After Fang Xuanling was attacked in this way, he was afraid that he would fight back in the future, and it was more likely that he would firmly support Li Tai.

But Changsun Wuji did it anyway, and his reason was that since Fang Xuanling chose to be an enemy, then he would be the first day of junior high school and I would be the fifteenth.

The old man Xiao Yu is also interesting. If the censor handed him Fang Xuanling's black material, he really impeached him. Qin Lang couldn't figure out whether it was the old man who couldn't rub the sand in his eyes, the censor doctor's responsibility, or he really wanted to use this opportunity to overthrow Fang Xuanling to the ground and make a good start for the Wu Wang party.

But when things broke out, there was no sound from the emperor.

On the one hand, Li Shimin accepted Fang Xuanling's resignation and asked him to suspend him at home for investigation, but on the other hand, he ignored those officials who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to add insult to injury, or even take advantage of Liang Guogong's popularity.

So this matter became what it is now.

Those who attacked the crown prince, Fang Xuanling, or even Xiao Yu, the emperor would not let them go, and dealt with them coldly.

Even these days, Li Shimin seldom summoned his ministers. It is said that he set up a thatched hut in front of the hall, where he was wearing linen and straw sandals to keep his filial piety for his ancestors.

The meeting ended in a quarrel.

Ma Zhou sighed, "The central government is in such chaos, how can the court be stable, and how can the world be prosperous."

Wei Zheng passed by and stopped on his own initiative.

"To untie the bell, you have to tie it up, Mr. Wei, and you have to settle this matter."

Qin Lang admired Wei Zheng's ability to speak out, and he was able to guess that he was the key person behind the scenes.

"Wei Gong is also the prince's teacher now. If you have time, please go to the East Palace to assist His Highness the prince."

Wei Zheng rolled his eyes, "Isn't Duke Wei still Prince Zhan Shi?"

······

A few days later, Li Shimin finally summoned all the prime ministers and many important ministers to hold a court meeting.

Three provinces, six ministries, five temples, nine supervisors, and even twelve guards, six prefectures, eight armies, and three divisions all came.

There is a lot of battle.

The emperor spoke directly after sitting down.

"I previously set Luoyang as the accompanying capital, and I also sent Qin Lang to build the Luoyang Palace. Now the project is basically completed, and I heard that the construction is not bad. The East Palace is the center of the world, and the tax and water transportation is also convenient, and the government affairs are also passed quickly. Now It is decided that the court will move to Luoyang."

"Chang'an, Xijing, will be handed over to Crown Prince Chengqian to stay behind, and he will still add Yongzhou Shepherd to preside over Xijing affairs."

As soon as this remark came out, the ministers were quite surprised.

The emperor also moved to Luoyang before, but there was a food shortage at that time, and then there was an epidemic. After all, the Eastern Capital is the accompanying capital.

"Li Tai, the king of Wei, was granted the title of Shepherd of Henan Province, and he was added to the Marquis General of Zuo Wu, envoys to serve as governors of the seven prefectures of Wei, Li, Wei, Ming, Xing, and Bei. "

Li Shimin then announced that the case of the impeachment of Shang Shu Zuo Pu and Fang Xuanling by Yushi Dafu Xiao Yu was investigated by the third department and found no real evidence.

Official Fang Xuanling returned to his original post, and he was still working for Shangshu Zuopushe and Tongzhongshumen.

Xiao Yu, a Tejin and Yushi doctor, took the blame and resigned. He was demoted to Doctor Guanglu, and ordered to go home and reflect behind closed doors.

Wei Ting was granted the title of imperial historian and participated in the government affairs.

Gao Shilian worshiped as the right servant of Shangshu.

Zhongshu ordered Yang Shidao to be a servant.

The eldest grandson Wuji is also the Minister of the Ministry of Officials.

"Qin Lang, the Duke of Wei, review the school's order." The emperor announced the decree, and a series of personnel adjustments also caused the officials to be surprised.

When they heard that Qin Lang checked the school's order, everyone's eyes turned to Changsun Wuji instead.

After all, the eldest grandson Wuji was Situ, Kaifu Yitong Sansi, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi presided over Zhongshu Shengshi, and he was superior to Zhongshu Ling Yang Shidao.

But now that Yang Shidao has been transferred to Menxia Province to serve as a servant, Changsun Wuji should take advantage of the situation and become the Zhongshuling. But who knows, Changsun Wuji was awarded the title of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, but Qin Lang became the official secretary of the school.

The Minister of the Household Department and Dai Zhou who participated in the government affairs also resigned due to serious illness. Now they are recuperating at home, but it seems that they are no longer able to die.

The emperor granted Tang Jian the Minister of the Household Department.

So now in the six departments, Changsun Wuji is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Hou Junji is the Minister of the Ministry of War, and Qin Lang knows the affairs of the Ministry of War.

Tang Jian was the minister of the Ministry of Households, Wang Gui was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Lide was the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Cui Dunli was the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

Shangshu Zuocheng Liu Ji, Shangshu Youcheng Cui Gan.

The left servant of Shangshu shot Fang Xuanling, and added the prince and grand teacher.

And Wei Zheng worshiped the prince Zhan Shi, changed the prince Taifu, and granted Jing Zhaoyin, Xijing stayed behind.

······

In the end, Xiao Laopao still hadn't done anything with Fang Xuanling, and was dismissed again without accident. This time, he was demoted back to Doctor Guanglu, who had just joined Yipin Tejin.

Fang Xuanling was unscathed, reunited again, and also added the title of prince and grand teacher, which can be said to be the same honor and favor.

However, the emperor wanted to lead the court to move the capital to Luoyang, which was unexpected, and this time Wei Wang Li Tai worshiped Henan Yin and the governor of Xiangzhou, and asked him to take the lead.

And the emperor also directly gave Li Tai the two connected squares in Luoyang City, so that the two squares could be connected together as the Wei Wangfu.

Li Tai's favor has gone one step further.

It was the crown prince Chengqian who was left behind in Xijing and did not move to Luoyang together, which is very unusual. The last time the emperor went to Luoyang, Chengqian did not go, but that trip to Luoyang was just a tour, but this time is different, Luoyang is to be permanent.

The crown prince didn't stay in the capital with the emperor, but stayed in Chang'an, which became the same as the capital, which was greatly neglected.

In comparison, he was far inferior to Wei Wangtai.

As for the story that Changsun Wuji went from knowing Zhongshu to save trouble, and became Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Qin Lang instead checked the school and ordered the Ministry of Military affairs, which is even more intriguing.

It was said that it was a court discussion, but in fact it was just Li Shimin announcing his decision to everyone, which is beyond doubt.

After the court discussion was over, Qin Lang asked for a correct performance, but Li Shimin did not agree.

Walking out of the main hall, Qin Lang and Changsun Wuji looked at each other, speechless for a moment.

"Let Wei Zheng stay in Chang'an to assist Cheng Qian, whose idea is this?" Changsun Wuji was a little irritable, Wei Zheng was a talker, he stayed to assist Cheng Qian, and the two would definitely have a falling out.

"I suspect that this is Fang Xuanling's idea, this is a conspiracy!"

Fang Xuanling and Wei Zheng had both studied under the school of the great Confucian Wang Tong before, and they were regarded as the same school, but Wei Zheng was only an auditor, and the relationship between the two classmates had never been very good. In the court, Wei Zheng often hated Fang Xuanling.

This time the eldest grandson suspected that Fang Xuanling took the opportunity to keep Wei Zheng in Chang'an, not only driving away this annoying fly, but also leaving a trap for Chengqian.

"Sanlang, you have to find a way to let His Majesty take it back. How can you let Chengqian stay in Chang'an?"
