Chapter 105 Impeachment of Li Gang 1
"Your Majesty is really ridiculous. He actually found a carpenter and learned carpenter's skills from that carpenter! Since ancient times, countless foolish monarchs, but no one can compare to this little emperor!" Zhe Yanwen smiled while drinking tea.
"The more stupid he is, the happier I am! In the future, it will be easier for our Zhe family to take over the Song Dynasty and replace it!" Zhe Ke asked.
"What my father said!" Zhe Yanwen said.
"I have sent all the best carpenters from all over the world to Hanzhong these days. If His Majesty needs them, they can be sent to the palace! Your Majesty is young now, only eleven years old. At this time, what we teach him will learn! Your Majesty is interested in carpenters, so we teach him carpenters every day, and he will really become a carpenter! Hahaha, this stupid thing is so good! When he was in Tongguan, Dasanguan and other places, although he was afraid of the Jurchens, he was generous and decent in his daily life, and I was quite wary of it! Now, he is doing carpenters every day, and I will never be wary of such a waste again!" Zhe Keqiu laughed.
Zhe Yanwen also laughed!
"Father, over the past period of time, the prefects in Lizhou, Meizhou, Hezhou, Pengzhou and other places have been replaced by my Zhe family's confidants! Officials from Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan have also been loyal to my Zhe family! In just a few months, we have achieved such achievements! When will we truly take the Song Dynasty and replace it?" Zhe Yanwen said excitedly.
"Although officials from all over the country surrender to our Zhe family, we don't know their sincerity! Some people may surrender to us openly, but secretly loyal to the little emperor! The Song Dynasty ruled the world for more than a hundred years. It may take a long time to really let officials from all over the country surrender to us thoroughly and sincerely! It will take even longer to make the people from all over the world look at us! What's more, with foreign enemies now, we can't act rashly! Speaking of which, how much the current situation is like the Three Kingdoms in the late Han Dynasty! Now it's the same Three Kingdoms, our Zhe family, King Kang Zhao Gou, and Jurchen barbarians! It took Cao Cao decades to face him and accumulated decades, which is what the people want! Only after Cao Cao died, Cao Pi could become the emperor! We have just grasped the power of Hanzhong and Sichuan, so there is no need to worry now!" Zhe Ke asked.
"What my father said!" Zhe Yanwen nodded.
"But there is someone I can no longer tolerate!" Zhe Keqiu said suddenly.
"Did my father mean Li Gang?" Zhe Yanwen said.
"Not bad!" Zhe Keqiu nodded.
"Father, don't you say that Li Gangde is respected? Isn't this a good time to deal with him?" Zhe Yanwen said.
"I can't bear it anymore! He is the best in the court every day in the court! Although any of his actions is meaningless now, I still can't bear it! These days, Li Gang actually summoned Confucian students from Hanzhong to let these Confucian students collectively seek the emperor and try to persuade the emperor! A few days ago, as far as I know, Li Gang secretly contacted some ministers from all over the country to make those ministers loyal to the emperor! I can't bear this person and must be removed!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"Father, we might as well endure it for a while! We will get rid of him again by next year!" Zhe Yanwen said.
"No need! Now my Zhe family army is occupying Hanzhong, Sichuan and Sichuan. Even if some people are dissatisfied and some are unfair to Li Gang, our Zhe family army can take down those people! I have been thinking about this issue these days. As long as Li Gang is in the court, I cannot truly manage the government affairs legitimately! No matter what I say, he will object! Every day in the court, even if I argue with him, this will be very unfavorable for state affairs! In the future, Li Gang is not in the court, and everyone can speak freely and discuss state affairs! After all, this country belongs to the little emperor in name, but it is actually what I Zhe Keqiu asked for!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"Since that's the case, then it's up to my father!" Zhe Yanwen said.
Zhe Yanwen did not regard Li Gang as a huge threat at this moment! In Zhe Yanwen's view, Li Gang is just a scholar! In the troubled times, a scholar does not play much role! Only the army is the most powerful force in the troubled times! Without an army, Li Gang is useless!
"You go and invite Han Ping, the Chief Censor, to come. This matter depends on Han Ping!" Zhe Ke asked.
"Yes!" Zhe Yanwen nodded and headed outside!
It was already dark, and half an hour later, Han Ping came to Zhe Mansion!
Zhe Keqiu, Zhe Yanwen and Han Ping carefully discussed the way to frame Li Gang! It took a long time before Han Ping left Zhe Mansion!
"We were too worried before! Han Ping said just now. When Emperor Jingkang was in power, Li Gang was demoted to Jiangxi and became a county magistrate in Jiangxi. At that time, the students and the people in the world sympathized with Li Gang, they were just talking about it and expressed dissatisfaction with Emperor Jingkang's actions! Now we are just learning from Emperor Jingkang, and we still demoted Li Gang to other places to become a county magistrate. At most, the people in the world would only discuss for a few days, and there would be no big deal!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"What my father said!" Zhe Keqiu nodded.
"When we truly control the world in the future, Li Gang may still be able to use it for us! This is the only talent in Li Gang, otherwise he would not have such a great reputation. It's just that he is stubborn and unwilling to rely on us! I hope he stays in the position of county magistrate for a few more years and can change his mind!" Zhe Keqiu said.
"The father is so thoughtful, I admire him!" Zhe Yanwen said.
"You go to the palace now to find Lin Bao, and let him take His Majesty to the morning court tomorrow morning! Impeach the Prime Minister. Such a major event must be with His Majesty! If it is spread in the future, it will be His Majesty who demoted Li Gang to the county magistrate, not us demoted Li Gang to the county magistrate!" Zhe Ke asked.
Now Zhe Yanwen left the Zhe Mansion and headed towards the palace! Although the night was already deep, Zhe Yanwen did not have any obstacles when he arrived at the door of the palace! Not long after, he came to the Qianqing Palace. Lin Bao was already kneeling on the ground at this moment. Zhe Yanwen said a few words to Lin Bao before leaving!
*******
On the 12th day of the lunar calendar, the weather is getting colder and colder!
However, the palace is different from ordinary families. The stove has already risen here early, and the palace is extremely warm!
Zhao Chen still woke up early. The first thing he did after waking up was to fiddle with saws, planes, axes and other things!
Zhao Chen was enjoying himself, and Lin Bao came to Zhao Chen's side and said, "Your Majesty, are you going to the morning court today?"
Zhao Chen seemed to have not heard Lin Bao's words, he was just fiddling with the tools in his hand! After a while, Zhao Chen said: "I haven't had a morning court for many days! That morning court is too boring, and I don't want to go! Haven't you pushed me for me in the past? Why are you asking me again today?"
Lin Baomei smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I see that you have not been to court for many days. I am afraid that the ministers in the court will discuss it, so I want you to go over and take a look! You occasionally go to the morning court, and the ministers know that Your Majesty is still concerned about the government affairs, so they will naturally not say anything about Your Majesty!"
Zhao Chen shook his head and said, "Don't bother me! I don't want to go!"
Zhao Chen was secretly surprised at this moment. Lin Bao was Zhe Keqiu who was placed in the palace. In the past, Lin Bao never advised him to go to the morning court, but today it was strange. Lin Bao actually ignored the "disturbance" of his carpenter and suggested that he go to the morning court! He felt that it was extremely strange. At this moment, he felt that he would respond to changes in the same way and see what Zhe Keqiu and Lin Bao were going to do!
"Since that's the case, I will go to the Taihe Palace to return to the civil and military ministers!" Lin Baomei said with a smile.
Lin Bao had already left, and Zhao Chen was more and more surprised. He didn't understand why Lin Bao didn't persist anymore!
After about a quarter of an hour, Lin Bao hurried back to the Qianqing Palace. He ran to Zhao Chen, knelt on the ground, and said, "Your Majesty, something is not good!"
Zhao Chen said: "What happened? You are so impatient!"
Lin Bao said in a sharp and thin eunuch's voice: "Your Majesty, a major incident has happened in the court! It seems to be related to Lord Li Gang and Lord Li, so I hurried to inform Your Majesty!"
"It has something to do with Lord Li Gang and Lord Li? What's the matter?" Zhao Chen immediately became cautious!
"I am just concerned about reporting to Your Majesty in a hurry, so I don't know what happened! I just saw that Lord Li Gang and Lord Li were angry, and all the ministers accused Lord Li, and I don't know what was going on!" Lin Bao said.
Zhao Chen stood up and frowned! After a moment, Zhao Chen said, "Let's go, let's go to the Taihe Palace!"
Chapter completed!
