Guo Ziyi's memorial is several amazing.

The first point is novelty.

It is refreshing and gives a shiny feeling.

This illuminating feeling is the most likely to make people have preconceived ideas. The reason is very simple. Curiosity can increase people's attention, but once their attention is strengthened, it will inevitably be affected.

At this time, many ministers were secretly amazed in their hearts, feeling that this memorial was really open. They had never heard of such precise narrative memorials before.

This memorial is not only precisely narrated, but also does not use "Zhihuzhe" throughout the article. However, the time, place, characters and events are clear at a glance, which makes people understand what is being played at a glance.

The most important thing is that the whole of this memorial is accompanied by evidence, and no sentence is used in speculation, that is, the emperor just said that there is always a suspicion.

More importantly, this memorial is very shameless. Although the whole memorial is clear and clear, the things I tell are all lies.

Not only are you telling lies, but you are also swearing with lies.

While he was joking with lies, several of Guo Ziyi's intentions were noticed by the ministers.

First, he is seeking credit and pacifying the so-called "five thousand giant bandits", which is definitely a great contribution.

Second, he was remedial. After this guy left Chang'an, he led the caravan all the way through the state and the palace, gathering refugees at all times, raising those refugees to follow his caravan.

This kind of thing has been targeted by some officials for a long time, and they are about to wait for a while before participating. As long as he gathers more than 5,000 refugees, he will be labeled as a bad intention.

However, Guo Ziyi actually reported to the emperor in advance the gathering of refugees through this memorial. It was a very good excuse to migrate the people of Niujia Village as an excuse.

‘The village was attacked by giant bandits, and the whole village was panicked and frightened. They wanted to follow me and begged me hard. I couldn’t stand it and refused to save me. I could only take the people away for help.’

‘The most important thing is that there is still a local bandit crisis that has not been settled. Maybe it will come back one day. Will the people be killed?’

Look, what a good excuse.

This memorial also has a last intention, which also made some ministers feel awe-in.

What was Guo Ziyi's mind that he actually asked His Majesty to station troops in Anyang County, and this guy also specially recommended the candidate, and the one who chose Qianniuwei's side general.

Want to give five thousand troops?

He also said that this would be the only way to win the bandits.

I'm gonna be!

Tell lies with your eyes open.

...

There were no fools standing in the court. Everyone could hear that this memorial was not true. What was the situation with that guy Guo Ziyi? The officials present had almost set his character for him.

A vulgar man, he definitely doesn't have this ability.

But a person who is incompetent wrote this memorial of killing three birds with one stone. If there were no hidden masters behind this, even a fool would not believe it.

But who is this master?

...

After reading the memorial, Gao Lishi finished reading it, and it was the emperor's turn to start the performance.

The emperor yawned lazily at first, as if he had just taken a nap, so his energy improved and his speaking strength was obviously restored.

"Dear friends, let me tell you what I think. Do you think this memorial about Guo Ziyi is very good?"

It was clearly asking the ministers to express their opinions, but the emperor kept saying it and said with a smile: "I feel that this memorial is really worthy of everyone's imitation."

"Look at the words of Guo Ziyi, there is no sentence in the whole article to speculate. If you have something to say, you won't guess. If you say anything, you must be accompanied by evidence as an explanation."

"From this point alone, I think Guo Ziyi's memorial is very good, the things he has made are clear at a glance, and everything has evidence to support it, which means that the things he has played are true."

"I have decided to adopt his advice, I want to..."

The emperor was about to make a decision, but some people couldn't hold it in at this time.

Since ancient times, the emperor has never joked, so he must not let the emperor finish his words. Otherwise, if he stands up and refutes at that time, it will be a decision to refute the emperor.

So we must refute it first now and before the emperor makes a decision.

As long as you rush before the emperor, it can be understood as not refuting the emperor, but questioning Guo Ziyi.

Sure enough, a minister rushed out in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, I have doubts."

The minister looked anxious, but he did not forget to bow respectfully. After the emperor gave the salute, he made a long speech.

Because of the urgency, it seems a bit unethical, so the minister's face is full of solemnity, making people feel that his doubts are righteous words.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being anxious. I really can't stand it. I must express my doubts."

"The first thing I have to question is the 5,000 giant bandits mentioned by Guo Ziyi. He is lying and wantonly exaggerating the local bandits."

"Anyang County belongs to Henan Road and has been the hinterland of the Central Plains since ancient times. Even if one or two bandits occasionally breed in that place, it is impossible for a large number of bandits to appear."

"Five thousand bandits, what a scary number. Anyone with a little brainstorm knows that this bandit force cannot exist. Especially in the heart of the Central Plains, it is only 1,200 miles away from the imperial capital."

"Besides, it is close to Luoyang, which is the eastern capital of the Tang Dynasty. It not only has garrisoned 30,000 elite soldiers all year round, but also has a general in charge."

"Unless the bandits were born stupid, how could they appear there? If so many people were really gathered, they would have been swept by Luoyang's troops."

"So first point, Guo Ziyi is bragging about 5,000 bandits. Since it is bragging, it means falsehood. From this, Weichen even made inferences. Maybe he has not even tried one or two bandits..."

"The bandits he wrote in his memorials, and even lies made up out of thin air."

"Secondly, the empress wants to question his revelation of the people. Anyang County officials were slaughtered, and this person..."

This minister is a good verbal person, and his long arguments are very convincing, but unfortunately, the emperor is unwilling to listen.

The emperor suddenly sneered twice and directly interrupted the minister: "I just said that in the future, no inference is allowed. Why did Liu Aiqing turn a blind eye to the fact that he still uses the method of suspicion of guilt?"

"Maybe you have no emperor in your eyes?"

The minister's face changed drastically.

He suddenly remembered that he had indeed violated a taboo. He just questioned Guo Ziyi's long speech, and the whole article was full of speculations without evidence.

The emperor explicitly prohibited it, but he immediately violated...

Isn’t this asking for death by placing a pole?

...

The wind today is very strange, which makes some ministers with ulterior motives dare not stand up again.

For a moment, the court was quiet.

Only the emperor's voice sounded, and there seemed to be a sense of confusion in the old age: "Sun Aiqing, your complaint, Guo Ziyi was the murderer of the Anyang tragedy, but his words were all inferences and speculations. This made me feel very upset and I dare not keep someone like you again."

"And you, Liu Aiqing, you stood up and questioned Guo Ziyi's memorial, and seemed so urgent and anxious. As for why you are so anxious, I don't have the energy to delve into it. I only use one charge to determine you, that is, you also use the language of inference and guessing."

"Inference and speculation are not impossible to use, but they cannot be used directly to participate in a general. I think it is slander."

"Slander a general, and he is the general I just appointed. Tell me, should you stay?"

"Do I dare to stay?"

...

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, few ministers have been arrested directly in the morning court. However, today it is different. The two ministers were dragged away by warriors on duty like dogs.

Some people in the court wanted to stand up and plead for mercy.

However, the emperor's words shocked these people.

"I, the emperor, knew about what happened the day before yesterday, because Guo Ziyi personally sent a letter to send a bird to him, so he could report the news in time."

"But Sun Aiqing, a civil servant, did not hold a military position in the army. Why did he receive a letter from Anyang County?

"What qualifications does he have to collect letters from birds?"

"Who was sending him a letter in such a timely manner?"

"My Tang Dynasty seems to have formed a clique for personal gain. A minister can know about what happened thousands of miles away. He will immediately write a memorial to participate in the general I have appointed..."

"You should do it yourself."

"I'm tired, retreat to the court."

The emperor stood up and left, leaving all the civil and military officials in the court.

Especially some officials, their faces were filled with fear.

Form a clique for personal gain?

I hope your Majesty only thinks that this is because of forming a clique for personal gain.

If you look at it in depth, it is actually communicating with the vassal states...

Fortunately, His Majesty is old and becomes stupid in greed for pleasure. If it were His Majesty ten years ago, he would have really investigated it.

Fortunately.

"The only regret is that Guo Ziyi escaped another disaster."

Several ministers looked at each other and saw the unwillingness in each other's eyes. However, unwillingness was useless. The matter in Anyang County was no longer enough to defeat Guo Ziyi.
