MTL - Chastity Layman-Chapter 1391 Forced resignation

  Chapter 1391 Forced resignation

  I walked all the way back to the Central Plains, and gave up my mount to orphans and widows. This kind of faithfulness has been praised by the world, and the story of giving up the horse for the second time is also sung all over the world.

Seven years later, Wang Yifang was promoted to the court as a sixth-rank censor based on his merits in running education. At the same time, the case of Prime Minister Li Yi's mansion accepting the prisoner Chunyu from Dali Temple broke out. None of the officials in the court dared to expose Li Yi's mansion. Wang Yifang, who had only served as a censor for sixteen days, stood up without hesitation, counted Li Yifu's crimes in front of the court, and impeached him.

   It's just that Li Yi's mansion was in the right place at the time, and even the emperor didn't want to punish this very handy prime minister because of such a trivial matter, so Wang Yifang was demoted to Laizhou Sihu in the end.

  Wang Yifang worked as a household secretary in Laizhou for several years. Although he made great contributions to enlightening the local area, he failed the assessment under the pressure of Li Yifu, the prime minister. Therefore, Wang Yifang simply resigned from office and returned to Changhua, Weizhou, Hebei to continue to concentrate on lecturing.

  Now in his hometown, the academy he founded has more than a thousand students and students, and he is very famous.

  Actually speaking, Wang Yifang is two years younger than Li Yifu.

  In terms of background, the two are actually similar. They both belong to the kind of poor family background.

  Li Yifu is good at making money, actively clinging to the powerful, and has no position at all. As for Wang Yifang, he was an idealist, loyal, filial and loyal, defying the powerful, and determined to be Wei Zheng's second, so he refused to marry Wei Zheng's niece when Wei Zheng was prime minister, but he married Wei Zheng after his death. He used to have a good relationship with Zhang Liang, but he never wanted to borrow from Zhang Liang, who was a prime minister.

  Facing the emperor's first favorite Li Yifu, he also dared to face criticism and impeachment.

   Such a person, even Qin Lang admires him.

   "Mr. Li, do you know that the tens of thousands of students in Luoyang Academy City, as well as those scholars from various places in Beijing, are preparing for a big parade."

   "Are they going to make trouble again?"

   "Do you know why you plan to march?"

Li Yifu frowned, "Previously, Xiangguo was too lenient to them. The court severely punished them for causing trouble last time, and they soon became honest. However, Xiangguo was lenient to them and canceled all previous punishments. As a result, these people didn't know good from bad, but There is going to be trouble again, if you want me to tell you, you have to clean it up severely, and you must severely punish the chiefs and professors of the Imperial College and other colleges in the city..."

   "This year's budget allocation for the Imperial College also has to be cut..."

  Qin Lang interrupted Li Yifu's words.

   "The students' request is to re-investigate the case of Changsun Gong's treason. They all think it is an unjust case, and they want to reverse the case for Changsun Gonggong."

  Hearing this, Li Yifu couldn't help being startled, and even couldn't calm down anymore.

  He is the presiding judge of this case, and he presided over the handling alone. If the case is overturned, then he will also capsize.

"Xiangguo, this case cannot be overturned. You know, this case involves too much, and it has been many years. What's the point of overturning the case? Instead, it will be called a complete negation of Kaiyuan Dynasty's Supreme Emperor. !"

   "This is going to be a mess, a big mess."

"Li Gong, I think you, the sponsor, know the truth about the case of Eldest Sun Gong back then. I think you, the sponsor, know better than me. Now that the public is raging, this case cannot be suppressed. Besides, I also want to seek justice for Eldest Sun Gong and the others. After all , the eldest grandson is also my father-in-law." Qin Lang looked at Li Yifu with a blank expression on his face.

  Li Yifu felt his heart getting colder and colder.

   Like falling into an ice cave.

   "Xiangguo, the overall situation is the most important thing. Now that the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, the court situation is unstable, and there is another war in the Western Regions. If the central government is in chaos at this time, there will be endless troubles."

   "Xiangguo, I'm your man." Li Yifu got angry in a hurry, and couldn't calm down anymore at this moment, even uttering such blatant words.

  Qin Lang was unmoved.

Compared to Xu Jingzong, who is seventy years old, Li Yifu is less than fifty years old. This person is more ambitious and has more limitless actions. Qin Lang does not plan to stay in the court for a long time, so he is very worried about Li Yifu staying. Down.

  Originally, he would talk to Li Yifu after the transition period was over, but now that the situation was under pressure, Qin Lang decided to take the opportunity to have a showdown with him.

"Li Gong, I will go back to the South China Sea in a short time. The climate and scenery there are good. Is Li Gong interested in going there with me? I will give Li Gong an island, and I will give you a piece of land. When I built a manor villa, I enjoyed the blue sky, blue sea and white sandy beach there, and I enjoyed it a lot.”

  Li Yifu was stunned.

  He understood the meaning of Qin Lang's words.

   But a little unwilling.

  He is still so young, he has only been prime minister for ten years.

   "Duke Qin, I'm afraid of heat."

   "Hehe, Luzon is actually very cool. Of course, if Li Gong is afraid of the heat and doesn't want to go to Luzon, I can also arrange for Li Gong to go to Bohai Sea or Heishui. It's not hot at all."

  Bohai Sea, black water.

  What the **** is that place? The northeast of Liaodong, the bitter cold land of Baishui and Heishui, half of the year is covered with ice and snow, and the Heishui River is thousands of miles away from Luoyang.

  What the **** is he doing in that kind of place?

  When his eyes met Qin Lang's, Li Yifu shuddered involuntarily, and there was murderous intent in those eyes.

   "Mr. Qin?"

   "Old Li, I'm actually doing it for your own good. Your friendship with the Qin family is very good. I don't want to see you ruined or even killed."

   "Duke Qin?" Li Yifu's voice was already trembling.

"If you resign now, the court will always protect your face. No matter how the case is turned over in the future, it will try not to implicate you. I can even assure you that after you leave, you and your sons-in-law Some things in the past will no longer be investigated and liquidated."

  Li Yifu was in great pain.

   It took him more than 30 years to climb up step by step from the southwestern border of the empire, Songzhou, Chang'an, and Luoyang, and finally achieved the power and position he is today, but now he has to give up.

   "Old Xu will also resign with you." Qin Lang comforted Li Yifu.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, let Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu retreat together, which can be regarded as avoiding a future trouble, and at the same time, it can be regarded as an explanation to the students. At least now they can trust Qin Lang more, so the next action of the students in Luoyang Academy City is to controllable.

   There will be no trouble.

   "I will invite the emperor to allow you to retire, but you will be promoted to official positions, and your salary will remain the same. I will also grant you the title of duke of the real country, and give your son a false title of duke of the county."

   What this remark reveals is that you should not toast or eat fine wine.

  Qin Lang's guarantee is quite credible. If it is replaced by someone else, it will be extremely huge for them to be liquidated in the future.

  Unless they can have the prestige of Qin Lang, and many disciples in the court can hold power from old age, and can always speak for the Qin family, otherwise, who will always protect them?

   Li Yifu was in pain.

  Before Qin Jun supported Li Xian to succeed him, he was changed from Zhongshuling to servant, and he endured it. When Qin Lang came, he also accepted the servant, and only retained the title of Tong Pingzhang as Prime Minister. After all, he was still the prime minister, so he had nothing to say.

   But now, this is for him to completely withdraw from the court.

   Seeing Qin Lang's tough attitude, and there was no room for turning around in this matter, Li Yifu's mind turned to balance.

   "I have today, and it is all taken care of by King Zhongwu and Saburo. Now that Sanlang tells me to retreat, I will retreat. Saburo asked me to retreat to Luzon, so I will go to Luzon."

  Qin Lang smiled slightly.

   "Have you figured it out? Are you not afraid of the heat?"

  Li Yifu smiled bitterly.

   "Sanlang also said that Luzon is very cool."

"good."

  Qin Lang thought for a while, "Lao Li, the sons of your family, I think I will go to the local area to experience it first, and avoid the limelight for the time being."

  Qin Lang gave his eldest son Li Jin, the sixth-rank East Palace Prince Si Yilang, the title of Zhenzhou Sihu from the seventh rank. Shi Liqia, the governor of the East Palace, was reassigned to Tingzhou Sitian to join the military. Qianniu prepares himself for Li Yang, and is transferred to Laizhou Sicang to join the military. Li Zhan, Lieutenant of Zuo Yulin Military Academy, was transferred to Caozhou Bapin to join the military.

  His son-in-law, Liu Yuanzhen, the head of the Shaofu, was assigned to record affairs under the ninth grade in Qizhou.

  ······

  Four sons and one son-in-law are basically demoted, even several levels.

But as long as Qin Lang can do what he said, the Changsun Wuji case will be vindicated, and Li Yi's mansion will not be held accountable in the end. The grade was demoted to other places, but it was still a good result.

   After all, they are still young, as long as they are still in the officialdom, there is always a chance to make a comeback.

  Relegation at this time, but can also avoid the storm in the capital, which is considered a good arrangement.

  Li Yifu agreed to go to Luzon.

   It's a deal.

  The conditions Qin Lang gave were not bad. This was not a blow to the enemy, but a care for his own people. Although Li Yifu was unwilling but helpless.

  When he left Qin Lang's residence, Li Yifu was listless and listless as if his spine had been removed. When he met Di Renjie who came over with a stack of official documents, he no longer had a smiling face, and he was unwilling to answer.

  Di Renjie sent the documents to Qin Lang's case.

   "Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu will formally write a letter to the saint today, resigning from office."

  Di Renjie was extremely surprised,

   "Elder Grandson's case has been rehabilitated, which 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 no longer in charge of the three provinces, they were still the prime ministers of the Zhengshitang. Moreover, Xu Jingzong had been prime minister for more than 20 years, and Li Yifu had also been prime minister for ten years. People in the court have extremely strong power and connections, and at the same time, they are all single-handedly promoted by Qin Lang. They are the core of Qin Zhang's confidantes.

  These two people went to see each other, so they had made great progress in their plan to protect the emperor and destroy Qin.

   "Qin Xiangguo is dedicated to the country, which is admirable."

   "When you have free time, communicate more with Xuecheng. Everything is going according to plan. Don't act too hastily. You must always trust the court." Qin Lang said.
