The second year of Zhenguan, the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Yuliangzhou, Ziwei Palace.

This temporary palace was built because the emperor stayed here for a year and a half, and his power was also powerful. When he was building the palace city, Li Chao was actually lazy and took over the layout of the Ziwei Palace in Luoyang in Sui and added and deleted it. The Ziwei Palace in Yuliangzhou is also a three-dimensional hall layout, namely the Qianyuan Palace, the Zhenguan Palace, and the Huiyou Palace.

The three dynasties are opposite each other, with the main gate of the palace city, the main hall of the palace city, the main hall of the court is the Ri Dynasty, and the main hall of the bedroom area, the Zhenguan Hall of the bedroom area is the Chang Dynasty.

Among them, Ganyang Hall is the largest in scale. The size and area of ​​this hall, built with steel bars, concrete, bricks and stones, even exceed that of the Tai Chi Hall in Chang'an.

Ganyang Hall is not only the temple of the court, but also the annual ceremonial ceremony is held here.

Today is the second New Year's Day of the Zhenguan Dynasty of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the second main dynasty meeting of the Zhenguan Dynasty here by Emperor Li Shimin.

Qianyuan Hall has a wide range of 33 zhang from east to west, and a deep range of 18 zhang from north to south, and a high range of 13 zhang from north to south. The scale of its wide range and depth are far higher than that of the Chang'an and Luoyang palaces during the Sui Dynasty. However, the new materials and technologies used in this palace make the construction cost far lower than the cost of the Sui Palace, and the time is greatly shortened.

The officials of the court in Xiangyang, as well as the local civil and military officials from more than 300 states in the world, as well as the envoys of various vassals.

Thousands of officials lined up from Qianyuan Hall to the square outside the hall, and even stood at the entrance of the hall.

The official proclaimed the edict loudly.

"The Emperor's Order of the Tang Dynasty!"

"The Grand Marshal Li Chao and the Minister of the Secretariat will be appointed as the Minister of the Central Secretariat's affairs!"

Li Chao stood up, stepped forward, and knelt.

"My minister Li Chao received the order to thank him!"

Li Shimin sat upright on the dragon throne, raised his hand to support him, "I will sit flat, I will give you a seat!"

The eunuch brought a chair and a few tables and placed it under the Baiyu steps. In front of him, two other people also enjoyed such treatment, namely Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui.

I am very sorry, I have been in old age and sick these two days. My knees hurt so much that I can’t get up and my mind is also messy and I can’t update it. I’m very sorry. Now I’m getting better, get up and write, and I can code as much as I can!

Li Chao got up and sat down on the chair.

The officials who announced the edict continued to announce the edicts, all of which were the edicts of ministers. Yu Wenshi, Gao Shilian, Xiao Yu, Chen Shuda, Yang Gongren, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, and Ma Zhou.

Under the Secretary of the Central Committee, eleven prime ministers.

Li Shimin gave them all seats.

The new imperial center of the Zhenguan Dynasty was formed, led by Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Chao, and the other eight people were the prime ministers, taking charge of the Central Secretariat and jointly assisting the government.

Pushe, Pei Ji and Feng Deyi of the Wude Dynasty were named Sikong Situ, who was named the Third Office last year, and were undermined.

At this time, I was still in line with the court, even before the generals.

Pei Ji lowered his head and seemed to be dozing off, while Feng Deyi looked around and observed from time to time.

Last night, they were unable to see what happened in Li Chao's mansion with their own eyes because they did not participate, but they were well-informed and they soon knew about it. The Supreme Emperor had a conflict with the emperor, but the emperor did not give in.

This was the Xuanwu Gate Incident. After two years, another open conflict between the emperor and his son, and the emperor made the emperor unable to come to Taiwan. Pei Ji knew very well that the emperor had tolerated for two years, but now he could not bear it anymore, which shows that the emperor was already full of wings.

The emperor no longer has to tolerate the Supreme Emperor, and naturally he no longer needs to keep the old ministers of the Supreme Emperor's eyes off the eyes.

In today's dynasty, Pei Ji felt that it was dangerous everywhere.

But what should come will always come.

The newly appointed censor, Wei Zheng, also served as the minister of the Central Secretariat, and reported to him.

"My minister Wei Zheng, impeach Sikong Pei Ji!"

The originally festive atmosphere of the dandy changed suddenly.

After hearing this, Li Shimin asked, "What is Pei Sikong guilty?"

Wei Zheng, the new censor, personally took the initiative to impeach Sikong, one of the three ministers of the dynasty, and especially Pei Ji was the most favored official of the Wude Dynasty. This matter is not a minor matter. However, Wei Zheng dared to impeach him and chose the day of the Zhengdan Dynasty. Of course, he did not take action casually.

Wei Zheng has evidence.

There are two things he impeached Pei Ji.

First, Pei Ji covered up a demon monk who was wanted by the court at home. This Fa Ya was a monk who opposed the court's rectification and reform of the Buddhist temple. He said many anti-Chief remarks and was wanted by the court, but Pei Ji actually hid him in the mansion.

Wei Zheng impeached Pei Ji. The second thing was that Pei Ji's mansion also raised a disciple named Xinxing. This man tasted delicious food and drink in Pei Ji's mansion. He often told a boy from Pei's mansion who was responsible for his daily life that Pei Gong had talent. Later, Xinxing died, and the servant told Pei Ji about this, which shocked Pei Ji.

This kind of destiny and talent cannot be said randomly, as it will be suspected of rebellion when it is spread. It happened that the Xuanwu Gate Incident was in the throne, and Pei Ji did not dare to tell Li Shimin about this, but secretly asked the servant to kill the servant. However, the servant carried Pei on his back and released the servant.

Just a few days ago, Pei Ji's servant committed a curfew and was taken to prison. After the interrogation, the guy told the matter. In order to avoid punishment, he reported Pei Ji to the court.

Wei Zheng stood in the hall and shouted, "I impeached Pei Ji and committed four death rows. First, the three officials were appointed as the third prince, but they made friends with demons. Second, after the incident, they angrily claimed that the country was his plan. Third, the demon said that he had talent, but he hid and refused to report. Fourth, killing people to silence them."

Pei Ji was still sitting there, but his face was pale.

He sighed softly, knowing that the day of liquidation was coming.

He tried his best to protect the prince and rebel against the King of Qin. Even Liu Wenjing, who tried to protect Li Shimin, died at his hands. Now, Li Shimin has taken action.

Li Shimin asked Pei Ji.

"Sikong, you have the honor of assisting your destiny, and neither the Supreme Emperor nor I treat you poorly. Your contributions and talents are actually not enough to have the highest position of the Three Dukes today. It is only because of the Supreme Emperor's favor for you that you rank first in the Wude Dynasty. During the Wude period, there were many mistakes and errors in politics and law, and local officials were in a disorderly manner. You are responsible for this. I am very concerned about my old feelings and unexpectedly punished you. Now that I ask you to return to the gang, what else do you have to say?"

Li Shimin's words were also very ruthless.

Pei Ji was appointed as the third duke, with a title of Duke, and had a real territory of 200 miles. But before he could accept the title, Li Shimin now had to be dismissed for four major crimes and let him go back to his hometown.

Pei Ji stood up and knelt down.

"I am old and beg your Majesty to stay in Xiangyang for the rest of your life and be a companion for the Supreme Emperor."

It would be fine if he didn't say it was for Li Yuan's companion, but when he said this, Li Shimin's expression was already extremely bad. This reminded him of the sinister situation when he was fighting for the throne with the prince, which was mostly caused by Pei Ji's advice in front of the Supreme Emperor.

"The title and honor are removed, the title and title are removed, the title is removed, and the property is exiled to Longnan!"

Li Shimin changed his decision with a dark face.

Pei Ji was stunned. He did not expect that the emperor would turn against him and not only wanted to remove him from his post and return home, but now he would also take away his property and exil him.

He was in his sixties and was exiled to Longnan, which was his life.

"Your Majesty, I have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty cannot do this."

Li Shimin waved.

Suddenly, several tall guards came up and dragged Pei Ji down.

Li Chao watched the whole time, but did not say a word.

It is not uncommon for Pei Ji to have today. Whether it is the emperor and the ministers of Li Shimin, it is Li Shimin who has completely mastered the government affairs. Anyway, Li Shimin would definitely not want Pei Ji to be an annoying old minister. If he had known things and resigned earlier, he might not have had such an ugly scene today.

But Pei Ji not only refused to resign, but also always went to the palace to hook up with Li Yuan. He often played errands for Li Yuan and contacted some old ministers everywhere. Although it was useless, it was annoying.

Originally, if you just killed a family slave, let alone not being able to kill it, it would not be a big deal for someone with a status like Pei Ji. Even if someone said something about talent, it would not be a big deal. However, Pei Ji's status was different, especially he was the first official in the Wude Dynasty.

The emperor was elected in the second year of Zhenguan, and after he was elected as the eleven prime ministers under the Secretariat, he cleaned up the first important minister of the Wude Dynasty, and there was mystery everywhere.

Li Chao believed that the so-called collusion with demons and murder were just superficial reasons. The real reason was to show the emperor's control over the world.

If Pei Ji takes action, the prestige of the new generation of imperial center will be established.

If Pei Ji is killed, no one dares to oppose his new dynasty reform.

Li Chao always thought that Li Shimin was very smart. He took a few steps to do things.

He looked at Feng Deyi, who was worried.

Pei Ji was killed, and Feng Lun would definitely not have a good ending. Yang Su's niece was a very cunning person. He was highly valued by Yang Su and also deeply trusted by Yang Jian. In the Tang Dynasty, he quickly gained the trust of Li Yuan and once received the trust of Li Shimin.

However, later Li Chao revealed Feng Deyi's true face to Li Shimin. This man was actually a political speculator, with no stance at all, and was purely a fence-bet. He was betting on both sides of the brothers Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin, but he was hidden deep. In history, Li Shimin had always trusted him very much. It was not until after Feng Deyi's death that he discovered the truth about this guy's two-faced swords and wanted to whip his body.

However, in this life, Li Chao had already told Li Shimin about his true face. Therefore, as soon as Li Shimin became the crown prince, he threw Feng Deyi, a person who was originally the Tiance Mansion, aside.

When Li Shimin and Jiancheng competed for the throne, Feng Deyi showed on the surface that he helped Li Shimin, but in fact he always advised Li Jiancheng to take action to get Li Shimin out as soon as possible.

Li Shimin never swallowed this resentment.

The Chief Censor Du Yan was originally a Censor, but because his nephew Du Ruhui was the prime minister, it was impossible for him to be the prime minister as well. As well, several cases were not handled very much as Li Shimin's wishes, he demoted him to the next level and asked Wei Zheng to be the Censor.

Now he has long been instructed by Li Shimin and has taken the scepter out of the list.

"My minister Du Yan impeached Situ Fenglun to commit rebellion!"

When Feng Deyi heard this, he sat directly on the ground.

Du Yan came prepared and listed several evidences of crime, indicating that Feng Deyi intends to rebel, false and real, and some evidence has physical evidence.

Li Shimin asked, "Feng Deyi, you were once a vassal of Wude Dynasty, and you were the prime minister of the three ministers of this dynasty. What can you say about impeachment?"

Feng Deyi is a smart person. He knew that no matter what he said, it would be useless. The more he defended, the worse the result would be. At this time, he could only kneel down and kowtow.

Li Shimin issued an edict.

Feng Deyi was given the title and seized the official position, reclaimed the territory, confiscated his property, and exiled to Hainan Island.

Feng Deyi was dragged out in the end, and he no longer had the energy to walk out.
