Chapter 1395: become a dragon
Chapter 1395 Finally Becomes a Dragon
"What kind of lies is this?"
Above the Golden Palace, the young emperor stood up angrily to several ministers who came out one after another to impeach Qin Lang for his dictatorship, pointed his finger at them and shouted loudly at them.
"A group of deceitful people dare to frame the country's Yuanfu and drive apart the monarch. Come here, drag them out, and kill them with a stick in front of the door!"
Longyan was furious.
Since he was proclaimed, the young emperor gave the courtiers of the Manchu court the impression that they were all gentle and refined, and they were also very polite to the courtiers. I have never seen the emperor get angry, let alone reprimand the ministers in front of the palace.
In the hall, all the ministers looked at the pale-faced officials standing there with complex expressions in their eyes.
"All these ignorant people will be expelled from their registries, their writings will be destroyed since they were born, their names will be suspended, their names will be removed, and their registries will be lost! The three generations of men and women in their direct lineages will all be placed under the management of Luzon, and they will not be pardoned and returned for life!"
The emperor almost gritted his teeth and roared out the most severe punishment.
Wang Dejian, Yuan Gongyu, Hou Shanye, Xu Hao, Zhang Lun, and Lu Chengqing trembled. They stood up today because they knew that there was no way out.
Cui Yixuan went to visit Qin Lang, but when he came back, his family was exiled to Luzon.
Xu Jingzong and Li Yifu have also been forced to resign from office, and they have also gone to Luzon to retire.
As for the two former prime ministers Xue Yuanchao and Dou Dexuan, they were dismissed long ago and demoted to Lingnan.
And Wei Xuanzhen and Xiao Chen, the two descendants of prime ministers, were even exiled to Luzon along with the whole family.
The few people who came out to impeach Qin Lang today were all cronies of the Supreme Emperor and the prime ministers. They worked hard to attack the Qin family for the emperor.
The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry.
The rabbit will bite people even in a hurry.
After much deliberation, they felt that they could only fight with their backs.
It's just that they didn't think of it, and it still failed.
Looking at the emperor's face swollen with anger, they underestimated the cautiousness of the young emperor. For Qin Lang, the head of the country plus the uncle of the country, and a veteran of the four dynasties, the emperor is not only polite, but also from the bottom of his heart. of fear.
So the reaction at this time was very extreme, for fear of being misunderstood by Qin Lang that these people were ordered by him.
"Your Majesty, Qin Lang is immortal, the Tang Dynasty will never have peace, and the Li family is in danger!"
Yuan Gongyu still shouted loudly.
As a former member of Zhongshushe and Yushi Zhongcheng, Yuan Gongyu went to Qianzhou in person and forced Changsun Wuji to death. But now that Qin Lang is overturning the case of Changsun Wuji's conspiracy, Yuan Gongyu's fate is known.
"Pull it out, stick it!"
The emperor roared, as if he didn't want to hear a word.
"Your Majesty, if Qin Lang is not dead, the country is in danger!"
Qin Lang stood up.
"Your Majesty, I think that it is enough to deal with it according to the laws of the court. It is unnecessary to destroy the writing since birth, stop and remove the name, stay in Luzon for a long time, and confiscate property."
No one expected that Qin Lang, who had just been impeached by them, would stand up and speak for them.
The emperor's abnormal reaction, in fact, he also saw it in his eyes, and he could even see through the young emperor's thoughts. Li Zhao was very smart. Although he didn't spend much time with this nephew and son-in-law, the time spent together was enough It can be seen that Li Xian is very smart.
He is not only smart but also very cautious.
Being polite to Qin Lang was a bit too much, let Qin Lang take care of all matters big and small, and even let Qin Lang discuss matters with the chiefs of several major departments of the government during the meal after each court meeting, which was actually a The chiefs of the major departments of the center.
Not only that.
This kind of performance may be felt by others, but Qin Lang has already seen the emperor's heart, and he respects and fears him. This kind of fear can still be suppressed as much as possible, and he dare not show it, but he waits for the emperor's authority every day. Aggravating, when the emperor gains enough power one day, maybe this long-term fear and pressure will eventually turn into a vicious tiger that devours the Qin family.
This is human nature.
In the final analysis, it was because of the fact that the Qin family abolished the Supreme Emperor Li Yin and supported Li Zhao. Even Li Yin, the emperor who had been in power for fifteen years, the Qin family was able to abolish. No matter what the special circumstances were at the time, the Qin family did abolish and establish after all.
Now that the Qin family dominates the court, how can the young emperor not be afraid.
This is not a good thing, this is a bad thing, a huge bad thing.
If Qin Lang doesn't understand, it's causing disaster.
I think Qin Lang supported Cheng Qian like that back then, but did Cheng Qian appreciate him afterwards? Maybe there was gratitude, but this gratitude was only a momentary thought, and then the emperor was full of threats from Qin Lang, so he thought of ways to drive him away. The emperor drove him away, but still used the sisters of the Qin family, under the banner of the Qin family, to unite the relationship of the Qin family to divide the center and suppress the elders such as Changsun Wuji.
After killing Changsun Wuji and others, the emperor came to plan to eliminate the Qin family again.
Actually, Qin Lang is very innocent. He is focused on running business in Lu Song and has no other thoughts at all, but the emperor is full of thoughts of Qin Lang trying to harm me. What can Qin Lang do?
This feeling is actually the emperor lying on the side of the couch, not allowing others to sleep soundly.
Qin Lang's prestige, Lu Song's strength, and even the Qin family's financial resources are all original sins.
Now that the new emperor has just succeeded to the throne, he is completely supported by the Qin family, even the nephew and son-in-law of the Qin family, but this does not change the deepest essence. Li Xian changed his name to Li Zhao. Son of Heaven.
Right now Li Zhao doesn't have the strength to say no to Qin Lang, so what the emperor shows is extreme respect for Qin Lang, and extreme fear and caution towards Qin Lang.
It is not a good thing that people are too smart.
Opposing the emperor is too smart, for Qin Lang today, this is a headache for him.
At this time, he didn't want to watch the emperor kill Yuan Gongyu and others aggressively. If they were really killed by the stick, the blame would still be on Qin Lang's head, and no one would be on the emperor's head.
It might even make the government and opposition officials more dissatisfied with Qin Lang.
Originally, the Qin family's Qing monarch eliminated traitors and supported the new emperor, which was quite popular, but if it continues like this, the reputation of the Qin family will quickly deteriorate, and it may become that everyone shouts and beats them.
The emperor dealt with it too harshly just now.
Not to mention that he was directly shot outside the Duanmen.
Pursuing and destroying writings since birth, this is generally rare. In general, the heavy punishments imposed on officials in the Tang Dynasty were mostly execution or expulsion from citizenship, and long-term distribution.
That is, expulsion from official status, return to the status of common people, or exile, or execution. In serious cases, the family loses their wealth, and even implicates their wives and children as slaves.
It is even more ruthless than these to trace and destroy the writing since the birth, because this is not only delisting, but also deleting the post.
It is to delete all the written records of this person since he became an official. You will be politically dead forever, and you will have no chance of turning over. It is similar to depriving political power for life.
No matter how many officials you have been in the past, all your files have been deleted anyway.
Restrict and remove the name, that is, take away all the officials and titles. If you lose your registration, you will confiscate all your property, and you will not return it for the rest of your life, that is, you will have to stay in the place of exile for the rest of your life. Editing and management means putting your household registration into the place of exile. Originally, you are from Luoyang and lived in Luzon for a long time. In the future, you will be from Luzon, and you will have to be supervised by the local government.
Anyway, the dust was completely crushed, and I couldn't turn over.
Even your meritorious service in the imperial examinations or your achievements in military service, as well as your admonitions and memorials to the emperor, have all been deleted.
"Grand Master, please do not plead with these people. If you dare to frame the Grand Master like this, you must be severely punished, otherwise there will be no one to respect and emulate you!" The emperor refused Qin Lang's persuasion.
"Your Majesty, I ask your Majesty to think twice. Those who are clear will be cleared, and those who are turbid will be turbid. I am not afraid of being framed by others. Everything is handled in accordance with the court's laws and regulations. If they impeach the minister, then let the three courts accept it. If the impeachment is not true , still be dealt with according to the court's law, whether it is demoted or dismissed, or even exiled, it will be done according to the law."
"Teacher, please don't say any more, if I don't get angry today, I'm afraid these people will never end in the future."
Qin Lang persuaded again, and even offered to resign.
"When I first entered Beijing, I also said to Your Majesty that when the court situation is stable, I will resign and return to Luzon. Now that the court situation has been stabilized, I should return to Luzon. With the Office of Political Affairs in charge of the papers, the Privy Council in charge of military affairs, the transfer department in charge of wealth, the attendants of the Imperial Academy, and the supervisor of the Yushitai, His Majesty will be able to handle the country well, and I have resigned."
This is beyond the emperor's expectations.
Come down quickly.
He came to Qin Lang and took Qin Lang's hand, "The country cannot do without the grand master, and I cannot do without the grand master. The grand master has been the elder of the four dynasties. The court still needs the grand master to assist me, and the grand master is needed. Preside over state affairs."
Qin Lang smiled.
"Your Majesty, there are now Laiji, Pei Xingjian, Cui Dunli, and Liu Xiangdao in the court, and Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianwu, and Xue Rengui are in Wu. The court is full of good people. There are not many ministers, and there are not many young ministers. I have been in the South China Sea for a long time, and now I am not used to the weather in Luoyang, so I ask the sage to agree to my resignation."
"I promised the grand master not to kill these foolish people, so please don't leave, grand master."
"Your Majesty, this minister is not speaking out of anger, let alone resigning in exchange for a change in His Majesty's treatment of them."
The emperor did not listen.
······
The dynasty dispersed, and the emperor left.
Before he left, he finally listened to Qin Lang's advice and did not kill the six Wang Dejian, but changed to the same treatment as Cui Yixuan.
Three generations of immediate relatives are all in the same class, and parents, brothers, children, grandchildren, and wives are all guilty.
This is still a very arbitrary punishment, which belongs to the entire Zhulian family, not a type clearly stipulated in the laws of the Tang Dynasty. However, in the era of imperial power, there were still some punishments such as Ling Chi's death, five horses' corpses, and even the execution of the three clans of Lian. of.
When Qin Lang came out of the hall, everyone greeted him, saying that Wang Dejian and others should die, and that Qin Lang was too merciful.
Qin Lang dealt with it a little boringly, but he could feel that these people were smiling slightly flatteringly, showing further fear of Qin Lang, and even a bit of dissatisfaction.
The Qin family seems to be changing from a dragon slayer to an evil dragon.
Of course, this is what the officials think.
Qin Lang hasn't changed, but everyone's impression is changing.
