Chapter 1272 Catering to the Holy Will
Naturally, the Son of Heaven did not simply ask casually.
Calling these important ministers into the palace today, Li Zhi wanted to solve the problem.
The eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River have learned their lesson. Of course, they will not be reconciled, and the next step is bound to be a crazy counterattack against Li Qinzai.
Li Zhi's purpose today is to minimize the consequences of the incident before the opponent counterattacks.
To put it simply, Li Zhi wanted to wipe Li Qinzai's ass.
In Anren Hall, several important ministers were silent, they also knew the seriousness of the matter.
In this era when the emperor, the scholar-bureaucrats and the aristocratic family ruled the world together, the consequences of completely offending the aristocratic family were very serious. Don't look at the aristocratic family in the court hall.
In fact, the official positions in the court are basically divided among the family members.
Just pick up an official from the court and ask him about his origin, whether it is a certain family in a certain place or a certain family in a certain county. Everyone's name has a prefix in front of it, and this prefix is the status of the family.
This is where the power of the aristocratic families is terrifying, and the same is true of the eight prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River. Many of their clansmen are officials in the court, and officials from these prominent families have their own connections. After layering on top of each other, this power cannot be underestimated.
What will happen if Li Qinzai abolishes the members of the famous Jiangnan family today?
He has made countless enemies, and these enemies will stare at him to death. No matter what he says or does, there will be a group of people behind him.
Participation in impeachment is just a trivial matter, and it is a big deal to ignore. What's more serious is that the means of punishing people in the officialdom are not only a few memorials and cursing the streets, but also more insidious and despicable means.
Will it be framed?Will you spread rumors?Will there be a set of designs?
Wei Xiaobao buried the golden knife and jade seal in the Pingxi Palace, and Wu Sangui jumped in a hurry. Li Qinzai will guard day and night in the future, and this is what he will guard against.
It is undeniable that Li Qinzai has caused a big trouble today, and even Li Zhi can't help feeling a headache for him.
Looking at the silent important ministers in the hall, except for Xu Jingzong, the rest of them looked a little hesitant.
Only Xu Jingzong stroked his beard and smiled, as steady as an old dog.
The hall was silent for a long time, and Li Zhi became impatient.
"You're talking, what's the deal with such a big mess today?"
Master Xu Yu hesitated and said: "Your Majesty, for today's matter, the prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River raided Li Jungong's car first, and Li Jungong led a group of retaliation later. If you say something wrong, both sides are wrong."
"The nobles in the south of the Yangtze River attacked first, and Li Jungong retaliated afterwards, and the attack was too ruthless. Between the ministers, it is better to punish both sides..."
After speaking, Master Xu Yu carefully glanced at Li Zhi, secretly wondering whether his words were in line with Li Zhi's wishes.
However, as soon as this remark came out, not only Li Zhi, but even several important ministers beside him frowned.
So, just hit [-] boards each?What's the difference between this and slime?
For such a serious incident, both parties are punished at once, regardless of right and wrong, how to explain to the world?
Li Zhi's expression was neither happy nor angry, and he just hummed lightly.
Master Xu Yu's heart sank, and he knew that what he said just now didn't tickle Li Zhi's itch. He didn't know how to do this question, he didn't know how to do it, it was too difficult.
Dou Dexuan, the imperial historian next to him, coughed twice, and said: "I think that the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River should be punished lightly, and the Duke of Liaodong County should be severely punished."
All eyes were on him.
Dou Dexuan said calmly: "It doesn't matter whether the matter is right or wrong. The important thing is that Your Majesty should appease the famous families in Jiangnan. Jiangnan and Huainan are the granary of our Tang Dynasty. The imperial court must firmly control Jiangnan and Huainan. If Your Majesty's disposal today It made the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River feel dissatisfied, and the ministers feared that there would be chaos in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Although Duke Liaodong was raided first, the actions of Duke Li today are too brutal, and the methods are quite vicious. It really hurt the peace of heaven. To put it more seriously, Duke Li's actions have shaken the society of the Tang Dynasty. Suspicion, the old minister thinks that he should be punished severely, with the heart of a famous family in Anjiang."
Regardless of the pros and cons or the structure, Dou Dexuan's words are undoubtedly correct.
But Li Zhi was quite dissatisfied.
Dou Dexuan's words are completely opposite to Li Zhi's original intention.
If he really wanted to appease the prominent families in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Zhi would never let what happened today, and he would have sent someone to stop Li Qinzai earlier, and he would have been fine.
Why do you want to acquiesce and condone Li Qinzai's actions?
Because Li Zhi also wanted to hit the famous family in the south of the Yangtze River, Li Qinzai just helped him handle the matter.
If Li Qinzai is severely punished, what's the point of Li Zhi's acquiescence today?
The Eastern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty is not over yet, but Goguryeo has already destroyed the country, and the military power of the Tang Dynasty is at an unprecedented peak.
The Son of Heaven relied on the power of his victory in the Eastern Expedition, who in the world is qualified to make him compromise?
If the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River dared to cause chaos in the local area, they would send troops to put them down. Now Li Zhi has the confidence, which is the fundamental reason why he is unwilling to compromise and deliberately beats the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River.
Now Dou Dexuan said that he wanted to appease the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River and severely punish Li Qinzai.
Li Zhi couldn't help but reflect inwardly, what the hell did I call this old fellow here for?Embarrass yourself?
I'm quite old, and I don't have any eyesight. Several princes and princesses of mine have participated today, don't you understand what it means?I can't even speculate on the holy will, and I have lived into the dog's stomach at an age.
So Li Zhi hummed lightly again, and did not respond to Dou Dexuan's words at all.
At this time, Su Dingfang, the general of the left guard, finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, I think that the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River deserve it, and the Lord of Liaodong County is right."
"Raiding on your own car for no reason, if the majestic county prince doesn't even dare to take revenge, is he still like a man? Your majesty can't be blamed for speaking upright. Anyway, I think Li Qinzai's younger generation is right. If it's him who changes the minister, maybe it's him who will do something more. Ruthless, slaughter all eight prominent families."
Li Zhi finally showed a smile, and said: "Grand Su is a military commander, and I prefer to speak more frankly."
The courtiers in the palace finally recalled it at this time.
Looking at the attitude of the Son of Heaven, His Majesty did not listen to the words of Master Xu Yu and Dou Dexuan, because they both proposed to severely punish Li Qinzai. When Su Dingfang said that Li Qinzai was right, His Majesty immediately laughed and chanted.
Don't you know what it means to have two faces before and after?
Therefore, His Majesty summoned them into the palace today not to listen to their opinions at all, but to give Li Qinzai a platform, and at the same time imply that they all stood for Li Qinzai.
Translation translation, it turns out that this is a surprise.
Xu Jingzong said with a smile at this time: "Your Majesty, I think that when the decree severely reprimands the famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, these famous families are becoming more and more rampant, and it's nothing more than domineering in the local area. They have stretched out their hands to Chang'an City, and they are still there. Dare to send assassins to raid the car of the court and the county in public."
"They seem to have forgotten that this country's surname is Li, and no matter how powerful the local aristocratic family is, they are only His Majesty's courtiers, and they have gradually lost their courtesy, His Majesty must punish them severely!"
"As for Duke Liaodong, first of all, Duke Li didn't offend any of them. Secondly, although Duke Li's revenge was a bit harsh, he was an innocent victim and was attacked for no reason. Shouldn't he fight back?"
As he spoke, Xu Jingzong suddenly puffed up his chest, and said with a righteous face: "The minister's grandson, Xu Yanbo, also participated in the action of smashing up the mansion of a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River today, and the Xu family also mobilized the guards in the mansion. of."
"If your majesty thinks that Jungong Li is wrong, then I will plead guilty to your majesty, and the Xu family is willing to commit the same crime as Jungong Li."
