Chapter 158 Rectify the court
Now, in the court, except Yang Zhao, the head of civil servants is Zhong Tianhao.
In ten years, Zhong Tianhao was born in a second-class Jinshi. He was promoted from the ninth-rank proofreader and was promoted all the way. He served as the head of the junior minister, the secretary of the junior minister, the official of the junior minister, the junior minister, the junior minister, and several other official positions.
Until now, Kaifu Yi and the Three Sessions have reached the first rank, and have been awarded the title of Situ, and are ranked among the Three Dukes. This terrifying promotion speed has been rumored in the Tang Dynasty and can be said to be unprecedented and unparalleled.
Even the right prime minister Yang Zhao, who is also the leader of civil servants, did not rely on his own abilities, but on his backing and the favor of the Ming Emperor to get to this point.
But even so, his promotion speed is far lower than that of Zhong Tianhao, because Yang Zhao has been an official for more than twenty years.
He was the most powerful minister for ten years. Such miracles on earth and the myth of the Tang Dynasty. If Zhong Tianhao had not borrowed external forces and the existence of the God Transformation Realm, he would have definitely not be able to achieve so many political achievements and would not be able to be promoted.
Now Zhong Tianhao has no choice but to be promoted. He has reached the extreme of civil servants and is the same prince.
Over the past ten years, Zhong Tianhao's appearance has gradually changed from a young man to a young and middle-aged man. Of course, this is not what Zhong Tianhao is like. He has the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul. He will gradually age unless his cultivation level is difficult to improve and stagnate for hundreds of years.
And this change is just a trick used by Goudan. Although it cannot be concealed by high-level monks, it is more than enough to deal with these mortals.
He can't always maintain his youthful appearance, which will become unreasonable.
Yan Qingchen, who always lived in Zhong Tianhao's mansion, had been in the storm for ten years and was over 70 years old, and he became even older.
His temples were covered with crane hair. Only by looking closely could you see some of the black hair mixed in it. His straight figure was also slightly hunched, and his whole body looked like he was about to enter his twilight years.
But even though his physical condition was not good, Yan Qingchen still insisted on the method of calligraphy every day, as if in his life, calligraphy was everything to him!
Seeing Yan Qingchen like this, Zhong Tianhao sighed inwardly, "He cannot interfere with the cycle of mortals." Birth, old age, sickness and death are part of the way of heaven."
Even if he used the art of defiance to help Yan Qingchen delay his life for several years, he would still be unable to escape the cycle of reincarnation in the end. Not only that, but because of this art of defiance to the sky, Yan Qingchen would fall into a lower level in the six realms of reincarnation.
There is reincarnation in the world, and with Zhong Tianhao's current ability, he is far from interfering.
After all, Yan Qingchen is different from a cultivator. The practitioners of Taoism are themselves against the will of heaven, while Yan Qingchen is just an ordinary mortal. Even if he teaches his skills of Taoism now, it will be useless.
However, Zhong Tianhao still spent a lot of money to ask the servants in the mansion to search everywhere, and even let Gou Dan take action to find Yan Qingchen the best life-long thing in the secular world, so that he can improve.
However, this method obviously cannot last long.
What Zhong Tianhao has to do now is to fulfill Yan Qingchen’s two long-cherished wishes as soon as possible, so that he will not leave this world with regrets...
On this day, Zhong Tianhao was practicing calligraphy in the mansion, but the servant came to report that Prince Li Su came to visit.
Upon hearing this, Zhong Tianhao smiled slightly. At this moment, he knew that his plan had begun...
Looking up, the prince of Tang was wearing a black satin robe, with golden silk plaids, embroidered with dragons, wide sleeves, sleeves, kesi patterns, dark clouds, white moon waist, and ink hair were tied up by plain mutton fat hosta.
Such an attitude is worthy of being the prince of a country, with a jade crown tied with hair, showing his heroic spirit!
He welcomed the prince into the conference hall and left the left and right, but Zhong Tianhao did not speak. He knew that the prince could no longer hold back, otherwise the other party would not have come to the door in person regardless of his identity.
Unlike Zhong Tianhao's calmness, as soon as the prince arrived, he immediately made the point and explained his purpose directly.
Although the prince was only five or six years younger than Zhong Tianhao in terms of appearance and well-known age, he lowered his posture in his words and regarded Zhong Tianhao as his elder, and positioned himself as a younger generation. Every word and action was the etiquette of his disciples.
Because he knew that with Zhong Tianhao's status, even his teacher, the imperial court, had to pay tribute to the first-rank prince and grand tutor.
After a thorough discussion, after several hours, Zhong Tianhao sent away the satisfied prince and began to savor it alone.
The purpose of the prince's visit was exactly as expected by Zhong Tianhao, because both of them had the same purpose, both of them were to overthrow the powerful ministers, eliminate the treacherous minister Yang Zhao, clear the court, and rectify the court!
The difference is that the crown prince is trying to seize the throne and to secure the position of crown prince, while Zhong Tianhao is trying to Yan Qingchen's long-cherished wish. However, they have similarities, that is, the Tang Dynasty will not collapse in this prosperous era and the people will not suffer from the suffering of war.
With Zhong Tianhao's eyesight, he could naturally see the character of the Tang Dynasty Prince Li Su at a glance. Although the other party had selfish intentions and longed for the throne of the Nine Five Emperors, it was indeed to preserve the foundation of his ancestors and for the people of the world.
Therefore, Zhong Tianhao agreed to the prince’s request and agreed to cooperate!
The two of them jointly formulated a plan to win over all the targets in the court who were suppressed by the right prime minister Yang Zhao, gather all the connections between the prince and Zhong Tianhao, restrain the Yang Zhao group, develop new people, and gradually replace them, and finally...clear the lord's side!
At present, royal family members have had coups in the court, with very few left and almost no real power. The group of military generals is only responsible for foreign wars and never participates in politics. Only Zhong Tianhao can compete with Yang Zhao.
As for the other people, they were replaced by the princelings. As long as Yang Zhao was restrained, the prince would have no worries and could give it a try.
At that time, evidence will be collected, and all civil and military officials will be jointly provided with evidence, listing Yang Zhao's sins, beheading him first and then reporting him, and then asking for the traitorous concubine in the harem, and stabilizing the situation before the Ming Emperor can react.
Even if Emperor Ming wants to be punished, he will not be able to abolish the only crown prince, nor will he dismiss the ministers of the court. Although Emperor Ming is negligent in the government affairs, he is not stupid, otherwise he would not have developed this prosperous Tang Dynasty to the extreme.
However, although everything seems very simple, the difficulty is not small. If it fails, the prince will be completely deposed, and the Tang Dynasty will be completely lost.
However, Zhong Tianhao was not worried. As long as the prince took action, he would gradually disintegrate the political power of the Yang family group. In terms of force, even if Yang Zhao had the entire Tang Dynasty army, Zhong Tianhao would be able to control the other party.
Back in the study and facing Yan Qingchen, Zhong Tianhao told all his plans and the prince. He could clearly feel that Yan Qingchen's aging body seemed to be revitalized, that was the desire for life!
Yan Qingchen’s two long-cherished wishes are also two obsessions...
With Zhong Tianhao's actions, with his political influence, he successfully restrained the right prime minister Yang Zhao.
On the other hand, after the prince lost his scruples, he immediately implemented his thunder plan. During the time when the Ming Emperor was addicted to the harem, the prince's faction abolished many officials from the Shangshu Province's Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Personnel, and replaced them with his own troops.
Because these two poems are the source of the imperial examination system, all the Jinshi and all the newcomers who have just entered the official career have become the followers of the prince's school.
And the people's festival is always under Zhong Tianhao's control.
After learning about this series of changes, the right prime minister Yang Zhao was furious. He even went directly to the palace to meet the saint, hoping to impeach the crown prince and Zhong Tianhao, and even threatened to depose the crown prince and change the fourth prince to the crown prince.
However, after Zhong Tianhao arrived in person, he took out evidence of the replaced officials' corruption and bribery in front of Emperor Ming. Under this half-human and half-god operation, Emperor Ming warned the prince, but did not make any actual punishment.
For Zhong Tianhao's move, whether it was Yang Zhao, the prince, or the officials who were dismissed, they could not imagine why those extremely private letters and gold and silver treasures would appear in Zhong Tianhao's hands for no reason.
Of course, all this is attributed to Goudan. With its ability, no one has any secrets to say in this Chang'an City, let alone any stolen goods to hide.
In the following year, such incidents occurred three times in a row. Every time the prince's faction dismissed many officials, when Yang Zhao sued the emperor, Zhong Tianhao would always provide evidence to prove the stained officials, and then, every time, it was left unresolved.
In fact, this matter seems incredible to mortals, but it is extremely simple to Zhong Tianhao.
In the officialdom and high position, even in this prosperous Tang Dynasty, all the civil and military officials in the court inevitably had some stains, either big or small, and even the princess was the one who was a clerk, he would not be careful.
Corruption and bribery, levy and bribery, use power to seek personal gain, bully men and women, feed their own pockets, and form cliques for personal gain... Not many of the officials of the Tang Dynasty were absolutely clean.
This is the world, this is human nature!
Even though their relationships are very secretive, even if their belongings are hidden well, they will still be controlled by Zhong Tianhao and will be exposed.
If you don’t know, don’t do it unless you do it yourself!
Zhong Tianhao just grasped all the stains of these people. Therefore, when he obtained the evidence, he notified the prince that he would say a name and the princeling faction would replace the person, no surprise.
...
Another two years later, this is the thirteenth year that Zhong Tianhao became an official.
Now that most of the personnel of the Prime Minister's sect have been replaced, Yang Zhao finally couldn't bear it anymore. Faced with Zhong Tianhao's casual evidence, he wanted to prevent such a thing from happening again, and he had to take all his own bets.
That night, Zhong Tianhao was practicing calligraphy with Yan Qingchen in the study as usual. After he got Goudan's instructions and returned to his room, Goudan threw out more than a dozen corpses.
Seeing this, Zhong Tianhao's face was a little gloomy. He knew that Yang Zhao could not sit still.
These more than a dozen men in black are all killers in a hundred. In this secular world, their strength is enough to assassinate anyone if they don’t set foot in the palace!
However, no matter how many of them were in front of Goudan, they were just a slap.
Even if Gou Dan doesn't take action, even if Zhong Tianhao doesn't use his spiritual power to cultivate his cultivation, he can easily kill these people with his physical strength.
