A burst of energy came out of Di Renjie's hand, and Wei Hongji staggered to the vicinity of Di Renjie and stood with him.
"Wei Hongji, let me ask you! How much treasury silver did you spend building this place? Do you know that the drought a few years ago has not been completely alleviated yet!"
"How dare you waste time and money to build such an extravagant place!?"
Wei Hongji glanced at Li Zhi, then looked at Di Renjie, and said with disdain:
"What I use does not come from the national treasury, but from various wealthy families. I also impeached and occupied the land and exploited the profits. The money I obtained was used to build this place. Why shouldn't I!?"
"Hmph!" Di Renjie snorted coldly and said in a serious tone: "You are still a minister. You know the calendar, so why do you dare to say so?"
"In the past, Jia Dunshi recovered all the land and gave it to the people, but you are seeking your own benefit. Isn't this a violation of the law!?"
"Let me ask you! Who gave you the power to occupy the place of impeachment for personal gain?!"
"Those wealthy families oppressed the people and fell into your hands after being impeached. This violates the calendar, don't you know?"
"People have complained to the county magistrate many times but have been rejected. Do you really not know!?"
"You pretend to be righteous, judge the wealthy family, and sit in a high position to take over the affairs of the wealthy family. How is your behavior different from theirs?!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Wei Hongji said confidently: "I have never been greedy for a penny, so how can I talk about seeking personal gain? I use the land of impeachment to make money, and everything I get is planned by the Holy One! How can I talk about occupying!?"
The reason why Wei Hongji is confident is because all the money is used to build things for the emperor. It's useless even if you talk about breaking the sky!
He felt that he was smart, but Li Zhi didn't want to do it anymore.
"You bastard! You're talking nonsense! How can I compete with the people for profit?"
Di Renjie's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of murderous intent emerged, making many people pay attention to Di Renjie.
They thought that Di Renjie had always been a civil servant, but they didn't know that over the years, more than tens of thousands of people had been sentenced to death at his hands!
"Bold Wei Hongji, if you occupy fertile land privately and say it is for His Majesty's personal gain, you are committing an act of injustice, and if you encourage His Majesty to build this land, you are unjust!"
"You used such a clumsy tactic to seduce His Majesty. How will the world view His Majesty? Is there any natural law? Is there any royal law?"
Li Zhi looked at Di Renjie from above and was really angry.
Clumsy flattery? So why did he get fooled? Fool?
He planned to forget about it, but before he could speak, Di Renjie changed his tone and asked him:
"Your Majesty! No matter how much it costs to build this place, natural disasters occurred many years ago, and the people are crying for food. If disasters happen again, how many people can the expenses of this place support?"
"Can your Majesty have the heart to live in this beautiful painting hall and watch the people be trapped!?"
After saying this, Di Renjie looked at everyone.
"Wei Hongji's move to trap the emperor into being unkind and unjust and to seduce luxury is an act that will bring disaster to the country!"
"You are serving as an official in the court, but you act like a son and a daughter. You only watch the fire from the other side, not yourself!"
"If you know but don't say anything, in my eyes, Di, you will be regarded as complicit. Now that Yao and Shun are in power, how can we allow villains to be in power!!!"
This sound was mixed with internal force, making everyone's ears hurt.
Di Renjie's last words were so powerful. He included all the ministers and said they were all villains of the day. How could they sit still?
One, two, ten, forty!
One by one, the ministers came out to speak out and impeached Wei Hongji together with Di Renjie.
Li Zhi glanced at Wu Meiniang, who kept looking at Di Renjie and ignored him.
Seeing this, Li Zhi also knew that he could not protect Wei Hongji, so he said angrily: "I have always been thrifty and don't like luxury. What Hongji did is very inappropriate."
"Effective from now on, I will be relieved of my position!"
How can Li Zhi's artificial look be as happy as before?
But the ministers did not point it out. Wei Hongji should bear the blame himself. The palace was built anyway.
Just push him out as a scapegoat, just right!
"Hey, I...my...your majesty...empress...is not...me..." Wei Hongji looked around and around.
He kindly curried favor with Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, but now he is fine. How has he become a disaster?
If I had known this earlier, you wouldn’t have let me build it!
In the end, Wei Hongji could only leave in despair, leaving a group of people shouting for His Majesty's wisdom.
And Li Zhi shamelessly continued to let the ministers eat and drink here. It is estimated that in the future, with Di Renjie watching, he will rarely come here.
....
Two months passed by in a blink of an eye.
Li Zhi took advantage of this holiday and called Li Xian and others to have a gathering.
Li Zhi has more and more opportunities to get together with his sons, but the alienation becomes more and more obvious.
Especially Li Xian, he felt that everyone was jealous of him and complained about him, especially his brothers, who were now disobedient and ignored him.
Moreover, Li Zhi beat him everywhere and disliked his popularity, which drove him almost crazy.
On this day, Li Xian was lying in bed and was bored, always hesitating in his heart about how to respect his position.
The most important thing for the old Li family is ambition, and he also has the worst plan in mind.
At this moment, the door was suddenly opened quietly.
Li Xian's ears twitched slightly, a little confused.
Not everyone can enter his room casually, not even his princess, except for one person.
"What's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
A handsome face with a hint of femininity appeared.
Li Xian turned over: "You know what you're asking! It's fucking weird that you can be happy!"
"Shhh!! This is not Chang'an, please be careful that the walls have ears~"
Li Xian sighed deeply and didn't reply.
Zhao Daosheng's eyes wandered, he thought for a moment and patted Li Xian on the shoulder: "The weather is hot, why don't we go for a ride?"
"I'm not going, I'm annoyed."
"Then, can I practice sword practice with you?"
"You can't beat my mother even if you practice it, so why should I practice it?"
"Then let's go hunting?"
"Oh, aren't you bothered? It's easy for people to make a fuss about whatever I do now, so I'll just stay here!"
Zhao Daosheng showed a naughty smile, leaned into Li Xian's ear and said softly: "In that case, Your Majesty, if you want to do something, I will accompany you."
When he heard him calling him the Holy Lord, Li Xian's eyes lit up, and he turned over and pinned Zhao Daosheng under him!
"Okay! Then you will be my mount and accompany me to conquer the world!"
"I want to kill! Kill everyone who disobeys me!!"
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down!!"
....
After more than an hour, Li Xian felt refreshed and figured it out.
Since my father likes to hold on to power, he can do whatever he likes, that is, not doing business, doing whatever he wants, and having fun like Li Zhi.
Anyway, the world is at peace now. After Li Zhi died, his succession to the throne was justified. Even if his reputation was not good, after the emperor's master died, he was sending a large army to suppress everything. In his opinion, the credit was within his reach.
Li Xian felt comfortable, but the faces of some of the ministers following him became darker and darker.
They witnessed Li Xian getting worse and worse in just a few months, and they didn't feel anything at first.
After all, he is the prince, what happened to the enjoyment? Is it possible that he is stuck at home all day like Li Hong?
But Li Xian showed no intention of restraining himself for several months, especially when he was flirting with Zhao Daosheng, who rarely betrayed anyone. They couldn't accept it anymore.
The hobby of Longyang has been around since ancient times, and those who have this hobby are all emperors and generals. Whether they can accept it or not is one thing, but it won’t sound good anywhere if it spreads!
Besides, this is no longer behind anyone's back. In Chang'an, the two of them shared the same bed, ate together, went out together, and practiced martial arts, but in the eyes of others, it was just flirting. How could they still be together a few years ago? A bit of style at the party?
Not long after, some of the people following him couldn't stand it anymore, so they reported the matter to Li Zhi.
Indulging in short-sleeved love is a road of no return. Back then, Li Chengqian doted on the musician, but then the angry Li Shimin got angry and indirectly destroyed him.
He actually dared to do this despite the foresight. Now it is not wrong to report and expose, but when Li Xian ascends the throne and proclaims himself emperor, the fault will all be theirs!
Inside the main hall of Luoyang Palace.
The two saints sat side by side at the memorial table, which was all about Li Xian.
Li Zhi broke into cold sweat on his forehead. This was because he was so angry after reading it!
