Li Yuanji didn't refute or make a sound.

Drank the wine in the glass.

Chen Ying pointed to Li Yuanji, did not speak for a long time, and left the prison angrily.

Walking into the corridor of the prison, Dai Zhou greeted him.

Chen Ying said angrily: "The edict will be suppressed for two days first, and they will be locked up for a few more days, so that they can repay the pain!"

Dai Zhou nodded and said, "Your officer obeys!"

……

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying walking to the imperial study with a look of evil spirits, raised his head and asked, "Is the matter over?"

Chen Ying nodded and said, "Li Yuanji only asks His Majesty to give you a glass of poisoned wine."

Li Jiancheng asked suspiciously: "He didn't say anything else? He didn't say why?"

Chen Ying shook his head.

Li Jiancheng frowned and remained silent.

Li Jiancheng looked at Chen Ying and asked, "Yuanji, what does this mean?"

Chen Ying sighed and said: "As long as Yuan Ji is still alive, his children and relatives, as well as his entire clan, will be terrified and ready to bear the wrath of you, the emperor; He will no longer be in trouble with his children, and even in the future, he will pity his loneliness and take care of him a little, it is human nature, that's all."

Li Jiancheng suddenly realized.

Chen Ying smiled and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Li Jiancheng murmured, "Give him a glass of poisoned wine!"

Chen Ying was stunned, and was about to consider his words.

Li Jiancheng said: "Drink the laxatives in the wine, double the amount, let Li Yuanji reflect on himself."

Chen Ying smiled, never expecting Li Jiancheng to have such a lovely side.

Chen Ying took a servant with poisoned wine and went to the prison again.

At this time, Li Yuanji had already killed half a roast leg of lamb in the prison, and was so drunk that his eyes were hazy.

Watching Chen Ying come in, the servant put the poisonous wine on the plate in front of Li Yuanji.

Chen Ying circled his fingers and said, "Yuanji, Your Majesty has agreed."

Li Yuanji got up, and solemnly said to Chen Yingyiji: "Thank you, third brother-in-law, for your care. If Yuanji has an afterlife, he will definitely repay you."

Chen Ying almost wanted to tell the truth, but at the critical moment, he held back, and Chen Ying said with a straight face: "You don't need to be too polite, this is His Majesty's will, don't worry, your family, wife and children, will be taken care of by His Majesty." , I'll take care of it too."

Li Yuanji said again: "Can you give me a pen and paper, I want to leave a letter for His Majesty, please send it to my third brother-in-law."

With a wave of Chen Ying's hand, the servant hurried out.

When the servant brought the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, Li Yuanji thought about it and wrote slowly: "Beware of Pei Ji, beware of Master Yanfa, beware of Yu Wenhua and the Guanzhong family, they have connections with Turks..."

Chen Ying turned pale with shock.

Although Li Yuanji wrote few words, the amount of information is astonishing.

After Li Yuanji finished writing hundreds of words and drank the "poisoned wine" with his neck raised, Chen Ying was not in the mood to watch Li Yuanji's wonderful performance, and hurriedly took the letter to Xiande Hall.

……

In Xiande Hall, Li Jiancheng finished reading the letter and angrily put the letter on the table.

"It's unreasonable, come here, and call Li Anyan to me."

The servant hurried out.

Not long after, Li Anyan hurriedly followed the servant into the hall.

Li Jiancheng grabbed the letter, waved it, and said, "Look at this, what is the strict law of the monk who pretends to be gods and ghosts every day in front of the father?"

Li Anyan took the letter with a puzzled expression.

Li Anyan hurriedly knelt on the ground: "I have neglected my duty, I..."

Li Jiancheng said: "You can bring people to arrest the strict law!"

Chen Ying reminded: "Remember, arrest secretly!"

Li Anyan bowed and said, "I understand!"

Just when Li Anyan set up a net to arrest Master Yanfa, the political reform that shocked the court and the public in the early Tang Dynasty finally came to an end.

At the great court meeting at the end of August in the seventh year of Wude, Li Jiancheng, who was dressed in black clothes, sat on top of the altar.

A group of clan members of the Li family looked at Wei Zheng anxiously.

Li Jiancheng looked at Li's clan with lightning eyes and said: "Today, the clan will be enfeoffed, and the list will be read out by the minister's right servant and the minister's minister Wei Zheng!"

Wei Zheng came out of the queue, took a look at Li Jiancheng, and then turned around to open the silk book.

Wei Zheng cleared his throat, and said in a cadenced tone: "Jiaodong King Li Daoyan, was demoted to the Duke of the County, and the fief was halved; Gaomi King Li Xiaocha, was demoted to the Duke of the County, and the fief was halved; The city was halved; Li Xiaoci, the king of Guangping, was demoted to the prefecture, and the fief was halved; Li Xiaoyou, the king of Shangdang, was demoted to the prefect, and the fief was halved; Li Xiaoyi, king of the west, cut the fief in half..."

The members of the Li family's clan who were named were all downcast.

The hall was full of civil and military ministers, listening silently, and no one made a sound.

Wei Zheng put away the silk script, turned to look at Li Jiancheng and said, "Your Majesty, the royal family, the conferment and salary reduction have been read out.

Li Jiancheng nodded and said, "Fang Xuanling, announce the list of officials who will be eliminated and retained."

Fang Xuanling stood out for a while, and then took out a silk book from his sleeve.

Fang Xuanling unfolded the long silk script, cleared his throat, and said: "The officials who are being eliminated now are Wu Shirong, Minister of Honglu, Zhao Wenke, Shaoqing of Dali, Liang Luoren, a member of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and Qiao Yong, a member of the Ministry of Finance,... .

Fang Xuanling finally finished reading the list, and the long silk script was already hanging on the ground.

All the civil and military officials in the hall looked panic-stricken.

Fang Xuanling turned around and said to Li Jiancheng, "Your Majesty, I have finished reading.

Li Jiancheng was full of sorrow, and asked in a bitter voice: "How many officials have been eliminated from the Ministry of Officials this time?"

Fang Xuanling said calmly: "Your Majesty, three thousand and one hundred and eighty people."
