Datang: Huchi served as a bodyguard, but refused to enter the court as an official

Gao Shilian's face was full of embarrassment, he hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Bai did the right thing!"

Li Yuan unceremoniously snatched the 'leaflet' from Fang Xuanling's hand.

"I have also read this article. It can be said that the writing is brilliant, and the evidence in it is also impeccable. If this kind of talent is not rewarded, should it be punished?"

"I am ashamed, I am ashamed"

Fang Xuanling and the others all lowered their heads, not daring to say another word.

"Those who have meritorious service should be rewarded, and those who have made mistakes must be punished. You don't understand these principles, and you call yourself important officials of the court in vain!"

After finishing speaking, Li Yuan snorted heavily, turned and left!

Chapter 38: Two generations of emperors are backers, who will provoke Liu Bai?

Ever since he abdicated, Li Yuan hadn't stepped into the Tai Chi Hall. Now, because of an article, he appeared in front of the officials again.

Moreover, according to what he said, he fully supports Liu Bai!

This news, like a blockbuster, knocked all the court officials into a dizzy state.

Everyone knows the grievances between Li Yuan and Li Er, father and son.

And Liu Bai, how could he make the father and son stand on the same front?

What does the support of two generations of emperors represent?

This incident once again refreshed the officials' understanding of Liu Bai, and at the same time, let them understand that this time, the Cui family is over!

Not long after Fang Xuanling and others left, Li Er came to Tai'an Palace again.

"I have already returned the favor to Liu Bai, what are you doing here?"

Li Yuan still didn't give Li Er any good looks.

Li Er waved his hand to disperse the other people in the palace, and solemnly bowed to Li Yuan.

"My son is here to thank the emperor on behalf of all the people in the world!"

Li Yuan raised his eyelids a little, and sneered, "You think I don't know about the grievances between Liu Bai and the Cui family?"

"Because of this, my son has to thank my father! The aristocratic family will survive, and our Tang Dynasty is in danger. If the Cui family can be uprooted this time, it will be a blessing for all people!"

These words made Li Yuan fall silent.

After a while, he let out a long sigh, "It's really rare for a 15-year-old boy to solve such a big trouble for the court. Forget it, let him come and see me when Liu Bai enters the palace in the future."

After finishing speaking, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go!"

Li Er cupped his hands again and again, "Baby leave!"

After leaving Tai'an Palace, Li Er was in a good mood.

He came to Tai'an Palace this time just to eliminate the grudge in Li Yuan's heart.

Everyone thought that after Li Yuan abdicated, he would no longer be able to intervene in the affairs of the court, but only Li Er knew that Li Yuan still held a few trump cards in his hands!

After these few incidents, in Li Er's eyes, Liu Bai has become the mainstay of the imperial court in the future!

If Li Yuan resented Liu Bai because of the Cui family's affairs, it would be too much for the loss.

But now it seems that Li Yuan has no hostility towards Liu Bai, only curiosity.

Back at Zichen Hall, Empress Changsun saw Li Er smiling all over her face and asked, "Your Majesty, is there a happy event?"

Li Er directly handed the 'flyer' to Empress Changsun, and said with a smile: "Liu Bai is really more and more beyond my expectations, and the timing is just right!"

Empress Changsun finished reading the article on the 'leaflet', thought for a moment, and couldn't help but smile.

"During the time when the Supreme Emperor was being healed, it would be wonderful to publicize the matter of the "Shangshu". With this kind of credit, even members of the aristocratic family want to embarrass Liu Bai, and they should weigh it more carefully!"

"family"

Li Er's smile gradually faded, and was replaced by a sense of coldness!

"Cui Mingan's courage is getting bigger and bigger. He even dared to assassinate Liu Bai twice. How can I just sit idly by?"

"What does your majesty mean?"

"Guanyin maidservant, grind the ink!"

Li Er wrote an imperial edict as soon as he picked up his pen!

After using the big seal, Li Er said to Huai En, "Take this edict to the three provinces, and after it is stamped with the big seal of the three provinces, go to the Liu family to announce the decree!"

After finishing speaking, he pondered for a while, and said: "Liu Jin, a seventh-rank internal servant of the Yeting Bureau, has meritorious service in his recommendation, promoted to a sixth-rank Zhanggu eunuch, and entered the Taiji Hall, to accompany me by my side!"

Liu Bai got the imperial decree in the afternoon.

Huai En finished announcing the decree, and said with a smile: "In the future, I will call Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu!"

As he spoke, he cupped his hands at Liu Bai, and said again: "At the age of 15, you have to be appointed as a fifth-rank imperial official. This is the first time in my Tang Dynasty!"

"The servants are working hard, why not go to the hall first and drink a cup of hot tea."

"Your Majesty is still waiting for the maidservant to go back and return, so I won't stay any longer, Master Liu!"

Sending Wynn away, the Liu family was full of joy and excitement.

As Wynn said, there are not many people who have been appointed as a fifth-rank official at the age of 15 since ancient times.

"Husband, I intend to call all the shopkeepers in the shop back to celebrate. Look, do you want to send a letter to Cheng Guogong and Chai Guogong?"

Liu Wan'er was also very excited.

"You can do it as you see fit. Cheng Guogong and Chai Guogong don't need to deliver letters. In a few days, I will visit them in person."

Liu Bai didn't think it was a big deal to be a fifth-rank official.

Chaoyi Dafu is a Wensan official. Although he has the position of giving advice and suggestions in name, in fact, he has always been affiliated with Hongwenguan.

Today, the Hongwen Hall has been abolished. It is conceivable that Li Er intended to let Liu Bai work in the newly established Royal Academy.

"Alright, the two dukes are now in the army. If it's inconvenient, I'll just watch and prepare!"

After speaking, Liu Wan'er hurried to the backyard.

Back in the study, Liu Bai said to himself: "Li Er is Li Er, a mere imperial edict can stop the wind and rain in the city."

Li Er's method is really too high!

To him, a fifth-rank prose official without real power was nothing, but he showed his position invisibly.

The matter of "Shangshu" was widely circulated, some people supported Liu Bai, and some people slandered Liu Bai, saying that he was grandstanding.

Now, with this edict, who would dare to refute Liu Bai?

Doesn't that mean that the emperor doesn't know people?

Moreover, the reason for being appointed an official was that Liu Bai cured the Supreme Emperor's serious illness.

Even the Emperor Taishang owed Liu Bai favors, even if the aristocratic family didn't dare to say a word!

With two generations of emperors as their backers, who would provoke Liu Bai?

Similarly, Li Er's appointment of Liu Bai as an official also means that the matter of "Shangshu" will be settled here!

"It's almost time, just give it a little push, the Cui family should be over."

Liu Bai put away the imperial decree and began to write again.

This time, it took a little longer.

Displayed on the paper are more than a dozen crimes committed by the Cui family!

Each one is shocking, enough to drag the Cui family into a situation of eternal doom!

The new 'leaflets' are all over Chang'an again.

Soon, all the important ministers in the court also got the news.

"Liu Bai's move can be regarded as hitting seven inches above the Cui family!"

Sitting in the garden of her home, Fang Xuanling looked at the 'flyer' in her hand, amazed.

Du Ruhui, who was sitting opposite him, was also holding a 'leaflet'.

"If these crimes are brought out first, the Cui family will definitely fight back desperately, and even the students all over the world will defend the Cui family, but now, the "Shangshu" incident has caused the Cui family's status among scholars to plummet, even to the point where everyone spurns them "

Du Ruhui put away the leaflet and said, "This time, the Cui family is finished!"

Fang Xuanling smiled and said: "Presumably, Your Majesty will summon me soon!"

as predicted!

Just as Fang Xuanling finished speaking, the old butler hurried over and said with a bow, "My lord, there is a letter from the palace, the emperor urgently summons you and Prime Minister Du to enter the palace!"

Chapter 39: This is the Millennium Chinese, and this is the aristocratic family?

After a day, Fang Xuanling and other bigwigs entered the palace again!

But this time, not only them, but all the court officials, including a group of important royal officials, have also arrived!

In the Taiji Hall, there was a solemn and solemn scene.

Hundreds of officials stood in their positions obediently, and no one dared to speak.

"His Majesty is here!"

The officials knelt down and saluted, shouting: "See Your Majesty!"

Li Er walked into the Tai Chi Hall with a blank face, sat on the dragon chair for a long time, and did not let the officials get up.

"Wynn, read it!"

"Yes!"

Wynn bowed and took out a 'leaflet'.

"There is no one in the world who has a noble surname like the Cui family. It has been in China for thousands of years. It is known as 'the most noble family in the world and the head of the northern noble family'. However, the Cui family has many unrighteous actions. There are too many crimes to write about!"

"First, they colluded with local officials and occupied nearly a million acres of Boling fields, causing countless people to be displaced and die of cold and hunger!"

"Secondly, the embezzlement of disaster relief funds along the Mohe River forced more than a thousand people to rebel!"

"Thirdly, Cui's ancestral house in Boling is extravagant and beyond the rules, and the pavilions and pavilions are all built in imitation of the imperial palace!"

""

Fifteen crimes are shocking, and many of the officials under the rank are shaking like chaff.

But Fang Xuanling and the others did not show the slightest surprise.

Not only because they have already seen this 'flyer', but also because they all know the evil deeds of the Cui family over the years!

In fact, many people know it!

But the Cui family is powerful, who would dare to speak out blatantly?

I'm afraid, even Wei Zheng doesn't have the guts!

After Wynn finished reading, he bowed and stepped back.

Li Er still said expressionlessly: "Zhuqing, do you understand?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Li Er sneered and said, "Where is Cui Yuan, the general counselor?"

Cui Yuan, who was kneeling among the ministers, trembled violently, and his body trembled even more violently.

"My minister, my minister is here!"

"Hold your head up for me."

Cui Yuan raised his head and showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"You were born in the third house of the Cui family, have you heard of these crimes?"

"I don't know, I don't know"

Cui Yuan hastily lowered his head again.

Li Er ignored him and looked to the other side.

"Cui Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, you are from the second wife of the Cui family, and you are the cousin of the head of the family, Cui Mingan. Could it be that you don't know about these crimes?"
