Li Hun instigated people from the Yushitai to impeach Liang Shidu. This was no small matter. Liang Bi had obtained all the evidence. The supervisory censor named Xu Qing died in the Ministry of Punishment Prison within two days.
This was not done by Li Hun, this was scary.
The Yushitai department was all arranged by Yang Guang. Other departments could form cliques, but not here. Therefore, what the emperor was most taboo about was that even the department responsible for picketing and impeachment could be instigated by others.
This department is equivalent to jijianwei.
It didn't matter that the witness was dead, as the confession was still there, Yang Guang directly dismissed Li Hun from his post and ordered him to go home.
A General of the Right Xiaowei and a Minister of the Ministry of Justice were now available.
That night, Li Hun went to Yuwenshu's house to cause trouble.
"You can do whatever you want. I took the blame for you. I'll give you three months. If I can't go back to the court, I will go to see His Majesty and tell you everything." Sitting at Yuwenshu's house, he said angrily.
Yu Wenshu was also very angry and sneered: "Look what you did? You can make someone investigate such a small matter clearly in two days. Li Jincai, Li Jincai, I really admire you." "
Li Hun said angrily: "What? You still dare to blame me? It's because of you that I'm in this situation. Yuwenshu, are you repaying evil with kindness?"
The two brothers were brother-in-law and uncle, not outsiders but close relatives. However, Yu Wenshu did not want to see each other, and always felt that Li Hun was too insidious and greedy for money, and was unreliable.
Take this time for example, Yuwenshu didn't want to implicate himself, so he ordered Li Hun to find someone to deal with Master Liang. What was the result? Who are you looking for? That coward named Xu Qing had already tried everything before he was tortured.
You are also a duke, and you have killed your own nephews without showing any signs of betrayal. Why do you let others catch you for such a trivial matter?
What an incompetent person.
What else could Yu Wenshu say when faced with Li Hun, who was barking like a dog?
"Okay, okay, three months is unrealistic and time is too tight. I will find a way to let you go back before the end of the year. You can go home and wait with peace of mind."
"No need to talk, three months is three months," Li Hun stood up directly and said, "If we can't do it in three months, I will go see His Majesty."
After saying that, Li Hun slammed the door angrily and left.
"This bastard, I'm going to find someone to destroy him," Yuwen Zhiji, the second child, said viciously.
Yu Wenshu sighed expressionlessly: "If this continues, your father and I will really become a lonely minister. Li Hun is unreliable. For this plan, I should support a group of old subordinates as soon as possible, otherwise One Liang Bi is dead, and I don’t know how many people are waiting to deal with me."
"How to solve Li Jincai's matter?" asked the third scholar Yu.
Yu Wenshu narrowed his eyes: "This man is a white-eyed wolf and a bottomless pit. If you use him, you have to give him money. If you can't feed him enough, let me think about it."
At the court meeting the next day, Yang Guang finally asked who should fill the vacancy of Minister of Justice.
Since the Ministry of Punishment has been mentioned, the General You Xiaowei that Li Hunchong created is naturally even more enviable.
Therefore, the original focus of the discussion shifted from the Minister of Justice to General You Xiaowei. The two people who fought most fiercely were Guo Rong and Pei Renji.
When Shi Wansui resigned from Zuotunwei, Guo Rong wanted to take over, but Yang Ming didn't use him. Instead, he gave it to Yang Hao. Now that he finally had another opportunity, how could Guo Rong give up so easily and kneel directly in the court? Confess your loyalty to the emperor.
Yes, if you want to climb high, ability comes second, and loyalty comes first.
Yang Guang was very touched at the time. You must know that Guo Rong followed Yuwen Hu when he was young, and he started at a high level. After entering the Sui Dynasty, he and Yang Jian were buddies, so they were always used in important positions.
In terms of qualifications and prestige, he is completely qualified. It just depends on whether the emperor will nod.
The same goes for Pei Renji, who has enough qualifications. He has always been a general in the Prison Gate Mansion. It’s not that he is incompetent, it’s because the Prison Gate Mansion is special. The generals of these two military mansions can only be relatives of the emperor. Others No one can do it.
The Guo family in Taiyuan is also a powerful family, but in the court, they are not on the same level as the Pei family in Hedong.
Therefore, Pei Renji’s voice is very loud at the moment. You will show your loyalty, can’t I? I am a member of the Imperial Guard of Emperor Gaozu, and my loyalty to the Sui Dynasty cannot be compared to that of someone who has served the Yuwen family.
The two factions started to argue at the court meeting.
Guo Rong also had supporters. His younger brother Guo Hongdao was the Minister of Internal History, his cousin Guo Luqiu was the Prime Minister of Taipu Temple, his eldest son Guo Fushan was the Minister of Rites, and his second son Guo Jingshan was Yang Guang's Qianniu Preparation Body.
Among them, his younger brother Guo Hongdao was Li Yuan's best friend. According to history, after entering the Tang Dynasty, he served as the Minister of Weiwei Temple. How did his family become the Duke of Gao? It's called Long Qian's old.
It means that when the dragon Li Yuan was still lying in the water, he and I were buddies.
In addition, his cousin Guo Luqiu is not well-known himself, and his name is only left in history, but he has a great-great-grandson who is a top figure in Chinese history who cannot avoid talking about the surname Guo.
That's right, it's the famous Fenyang King, Guo Ziyi.
The advantage and disadvantage of the dispute between Guo and Pei is that Guo Rong's helpers were not eligible to participate in the court meeting during the Kaihuang Year, while Pei Renji's helpers, Pei Ju and Pei Yun, were sufficient.
But Yu Wenshu stood up and fully supported Guo Rong, causing the balance to tip.
The reason why he supports Guo Rong is very simple. He doesn't want the Pei family to become more powerful and sell favors to Guo Rong. After all, Guo Rong is a non-party person.
In the court at the moment, Yuwenshu's reputation is very high. Because Goguryeo was destroyed, Yang Guang must give priority to Yuwenshu's opinions. He also has true love for Yuwenshu himself.
As a result, Guo Rong got his wish, and after living for most of his life, he finally became a general.
But Yang Guang is very good at balancing. The Pei family has made trouble like this. If you don't give them a slope, they will not be able to get down, so Yang Guang gave Su Weijian's Youwuwei to Pei Renji.
Guo Rong was dumbfounded at the time. He had been fighting for a long time in vain. If he had known that there were two positions, would I have been so violent with the Pei family?
Su Wei himself definitely didn't care. When he went to Goguryeo, he had both the right military guards and the right imperial guards. He had long wanted to give up his post. He was not interested in the military government because his minister Zuo Pushe could manage the military. Mansion, then why should I do this?
In this way, everyone is happy, but Pei Renji also knows very well that he, the right military guard, is just a name, but it is better to have a name than not.
why? The two generals of Youwuwei are Li Jing and Zhou Fashang. Guess who has the final say here?
"Liang Qing's posthumous title has also been decided. I think it is appropriate to use the word Jing." Yang Guang said with a sad look on his face: "On the day of the funeral, all officials below the third rank will go to express their condolences."
This is where Liang Pi excels. For a marquis with such a good posthumous title, he could have climbed higher had he not been too straight and strong.
As for the law of the Great Sui Dynasty, posthumous titles for those below the prince were done by Dr. Taichang Temple. Liang Bi's posthumous title was chosen for him by Ouyang Xun, the second calligrapher of the Great Sui Dynasty.
Not everyone can take the position of Minister of Justice. You must have this ability. If you look at who the other Minister of Justice is, you will know who can sit in this position.
Working with Wei Xuan is not that easy.
Yu Wenshu recommended a man named Wang Rengong, who is currently the governor of Mayi. He is fifty-five years old this year and is Yang Jian's confidant. He was placed next to Yang Xiu, King of Shu in his early years.
This man was an old subordinate of Yu Wenshu, and his relationship was very strong. Wang Rengong was qualified for the position of Minister of Punishment.
But many people disapprove. If you ask him to go to the Ministry of Punishments, you are looking down on Wei Xuan.
This is the sophistication of human nature. You may be qualified for a position based on your qualifications and abilities, but it is difficult to arrange for someone in the same position as you if the prestige is much higher than yours.
Those who objected were also looking after Wei Xuan's face. Even though he was a minister, Sun Chi, the chief secretary, had to talk to him well.
Originally, Wang Rengong basically had no hope, but the gears of fate turned at this time.
Changsun Chi resigned.
"I have been seriously ill for a long time and am no longer able to handle official duties. Please allow me to step down from my post," Changsun Chi tremblingly knelt down in front of Yang Guang with Xuangan's support.
He was really in trouble. In the past month when he went to court, he had to be helped in. His right leg was already a little lame, but it was not a problem with the leg. It should have been caused by other parts of the body affecting the leg.
"Ai Qing, please get up quickly," Yang Guang said with concern on his face.
Yuwenshu hurried up to help Changsun Chi, but instead of taking his hand, he grabbed Xuangan's arm and stood up slowly.
Changsun Chi's daughter was Yuwen Zhiji's first wife, or to be precise, her ex-wife, because she later sued Yuwen Zhiji and was granted divorce by Yang Jian.
Yu Wenshu was also a good player, but he was beaten to a pulp by his son.
"I don't want to leave your post, but I can't bear to force you to do labor for your health. Alas," Yang Guang sighed, "I will allow you to go home to recuperate, and I will ask the prince to visit you on my behalf."
Changsun Chi is the second brother of Changsun Sheng. Even though his younger brother died, he is also dying, mainly because time is not forgiving.
So there is almost no need to discuss who will succeed the Minister of Punishment. Wei Xuan will do his job, and Li Yuan will not dare to snatch it.
Originally, this position should have been taken by Li Yuan, but Wei Xuan went to Goguryeo and almost died there. Li Yuan wanted to compete, but in the end he could not open his mouth.
Then Wang Rengong, recommended by Yu Wenshu, successfully became the Minister of Justice, and the vacancy left after Wei Xuan's promotion was transferred to Yuan Hongsi.
The current governor of Zhuo County is Wei Baoluan, Duke of Hua State.
After the court meeting dispersed, Yu Wenshu shamelessly helped Chang Sun Chi. Even though he didn't look good at all, Yu Wenshu still accompanied him with a smile, helping him out of the palace step by step and onto the carriage.
"I hope you will take care of yourself," these were the last words Changsun Chi said to Yuwen in his life.
Yu Wenshu clasped his hands and said, "Brother's teachings should be remembered."
Originally, the two families were in-laws, but because of Yu Wenzhiji's mischief, they became enemies. Yu Wenshu looked at the far away carriage with great sadness.
