Li Jiancheng was speechless. He also knew Wu Shirong, but he couldn't bear to die in the battle of Huoyi. Now that Wu Shirong is going to be lifted out, Li Jiancheng really has no way to refute it, but he must not have a one-size-fits-all approach for an old man like Wu Shirong.

At worst, if the court does not raise him, Li Jiancheng will raise him by himself. He can't let Wu Shirong make great contributions to the Tang Dynasty like this, and the lonely and helpless old man shed blood and tears.

Li Jiancheng silently called Wu Shirong's name and pointed to another person and said, "Where is Liang Luoren? This is not idle, right?"

Fang Xuanling sighed and said, "Your Majesty is indeed forgotten. Liang Luoren is the clan brother of Liang Shidu. He surrendered to Your Majesty four years ago. He was impeached by the Censor three years ago. He committed favoritism and fraud and appointed a confidant. Has Your Majesty never read the memorial to impeach him? Now there are as many memorials from the Censorate to impeach him!"

Li Jiancheng said: "He is the clan brother of Liang Shidu!"

Fang Xuanling retorted: "When did the Tang Dynasty become a place where filth is hidden?"

Li Jiancheng was speechless.

In Li Jiancheng's eyes, this Liang Luoren is somewhat useful.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty seems to be preparing to set an example for Liang Luoren and buy horse bones thousands of miles away?"

Li Jiancheng nodded. He really had this idea.

Fang Xuanling said: "No, it's not necessary. How can you tell me the Liang Shidu? If you have a great determination today, the people will be at peace. You only need your Majesty an edict, and the generals of the Tang Dynasty will capture the Liang Shidu alive for Your Majesty!"

Li Jiancheng said again: "Where is Zhao Wenke? He is always an honest person, right?"

Fang Xuanling said lightly: "Zhao Wenke is from Taiyuan, Taiyuan Yuancong. He is an honest man, but he is too honest. In Dali Temple, there is no case that was cut off by him. What is the use of such an inaction official?"

...

In Chang'an City, at Pei Ji's mansion, Lawyer Pei rushed into the hall excitedly.

Pei Jizheng and Yan Fa sat by the desk and savored tea.

Lawyer Pei smiled and said, "Father, the military generals in the East Palace are in chaos. They ran to Chenjiabao to find Chen Ying before dawn. Fang Xuanling and Gao Shilian were also called to scold him by His Majesty. I heard that the Secretariat was drafting the imperial edict to depose them."

Pei Ji smiled knowingly.

Yan Fa smiled and said, "Prime Minister, is this method really effective for Your Majesty?"

Pei Ji nodded and said, "I can't understand what kind of character I see when these children of the Li family grow up. For today's son, nothing else is important. Only the Xuanwu Gate changes, forcing his father to expel his brother, is his heart disease. The rumors of the remaining parties in the Qin Palace are targeting the emperor's heart disease, which will surely be effective."

...

In the imperial study room, Fang Xuanling continued to ask loudly: "Your Majesty, is it necessary to select talents and eliminate mediocre officials this time, or to take the opportunity to clean up old ministers of the Qin Palace, old ministers of martial arts, and promote old people of the Eastern Palace? What is Your Majesty afraid of?"

Li Jian said hesitantly: "You all know what I mean, right? Simplify officials, eat idle food... will be eliminated... select talents, those who are suppressed should be reused..."

Fang Xuanling's voice was still sharp: "Actually, Your Majesty knows everything in his heart and understands everything. Only one heart disease is always difficult to get rid of. That is the change of Xuanwu Gate."

Li Jiancheng stared at Fang Xuanling with wide eyes and said nothing.

Wei Zheng scolded with a harsh voice and expression: "Your Majesty is just a person who is right and wrong, hypocritical and cowardly, and he verbally vows to bring peace to the world. In fact, he is always worried that his throne will not be guaranteed, afraid of facing his past, afraid of facing himself - the fact that he forced his father to chase his brother, afraid of facing the facts of his Xuanwu Gate, how can a person who cannot even face the facts calmly and handle the country's major policies in a realistic manner?"

Li Jiancheng's face turned pale, murmured but couldn't speak.

Fang Xuanling pointed to Li Jiancheng and said, "What Your Majesty did is exactly the same as the foolish monarchs in history."

Li Jiancheng was so angry that his whole body was trembling, and he roared loudly: "Get out! Get out of here! If you don't get out, I will kill you!"

Fang Xuanling, Gao Shilian and Wei Zheng slowly retreated from the imperial study room. When he walked outside the door, he saw Chen Ying coming.

Wei Zheng quickly came forward and said, "Chen Pushe, go and persuade Your Majesty!"

Chen Ying nodded and then stepped in.

Li Jiancheng turned his back to the door angrily, listened to the sound of footsteps, and shouted without looking back: "Get out, if you don't get out, I will kill you!"

Chen Ying looked at Li Jiancheng and said lightly: "Your Majesty, do you really want to kill the empress?"

Listening to Chen Ying's voice sounding behind her back, Li Jiancheng hurriedly turned around.
