Chapter 185
"he?"

Yang Yanzhang was completely speechless.

If even such a guy who is greedy for pleasure can become the pillar of the country, I am afraid that even Yang Li can be called the Optimus Prime of the Tang Dynasty.

"Master Zhongcheng has learned from this! I... I do have no dissatisfaction with the Tang Dynasty." Li Tian said with a guilty conscience.

As he spoke, he couldn't bear to look back and glare at his concubine, blaming her for talking too much nonsense.

If Yang Yanzhang is angered at this moment, he may die without knowing it. After all, he has the emperor's destiny.

"Humph!" The concubine was immediately unhappy, but she still didn't continue to talk nonsense.

When Yang Yanzhang saw this, he said: "Okay! Since you are so loyal, I will order you to invite Yang Li to me."

"what!"

"Xia... Where should I go to find you?"

When Yang Li saw Li Yujin's Northwest Army, he was so frightened that he rubbed oil on his feet and ran away.

And if he goes now, Yang Li will definitely think that he has committed an act of betrayal.

Not to mention bringing Yang Li back, even whether he can come back is a question.

"Lord Zhongcheng, this is absolutely impossible." Li Tian begged bitterly.

Even if he was beaten to death for such a dangerous task, he would not do it himself.

as predicted.

Yang Yanzhang just wanted to test him, but the result was no different from what he had guessed.

"You are having an affair with the rebels, and you are a slave to the common people. It seems that you are not going to kill you. I am really sorry for the people of Changping County."

"I..." When Li Tian saw this, he was so frightened that his eyes turned white and he fainted.

If the rebels are connected to all four sides, they can be beheaded in public.

Moreover, Yang Yanzhang's suspicion is exactly what he has done in these years.

Otherwise, how could Yang Li let him go.

"Zhong... Mr. Zhongcheng, I... I was bought by him. I... I don't know what it means to have an affair with the rebels." Upon seeing this, the concubine hurriedly helped her escape.

But it was because of the benefits Li Tian gave her that she chose to stay with Li Tian.

No one knew there would be a place like this.

"Needless to say, they will all be executed." Yang Yanzhang said angrily.

With a wave of his hand, they were sentenced to death.

"Pull it down." Upon seeing this, Li Qinwei hurriedly ordered the people around him.

When the followers who followed saw this, they hurriedly dragged Li Tian, ​​who had passed out, towards the outside.

"grown ups!"

The concubine was so frightened that her face turned pale. She had never seen such a battle before.

"Sir, what should I do with this woman?" Li Qinwei was confused.

Although she is Li Tian's concubine, strictly speaking she knows nothing and there is no need to accompany Li Tian to his death.

Yang Yanzhang frowned slightly and thought for a long time before saying: "Get out."

"Yes!" Li Qinwei waved his hand again.

Seeing this, Zuo Zuo hurriedly drove the concubine out.

For Yang Yanzhang, this trip to the southwest was really a bit disappointing.

So many officials betrayed the Tang Dynasty because of Ding Dian's benefits.

Even a mediocre person like Li Tian can control the situation in Changping County.

"Is it possible that there are no really good officials in our country of the Tang Dynasty?" Yang Yanzhang sighed.

The rebels have occupied the entire southwest, but none of the officials below reported it.

This made the rebels even more arrogant and even wanted to confront the imperial court.

Fortunately, Yang Yanzhang was aware of this hidden danger, otherwise if they were allowed to develop, they would probably be even more difficult to deal with than Dong Hu.

"Master Yang, I just read the list. There are still some good officials, no...but..."

"Nothing." Yang Yanzhang looked at Li Qinwei in confusion. At this time, there was no need to hesitate.If that person is really a good official, he can be appointed to replace Li Tian.

"However, he was jointly framed by local officials and was imprisoned in a cell by Li Tian."

"what!"

Yang Yanzhang was furious. What he hated most was corrupt officials who framed talented people.

"Go to the cell immediately to check the situation."

"Yes!" Li Qinwei said respectfully.

With Yang Yanzhang's suggestion, several people rushed straight to the cell.

Fortunately, everything went as they expected. Although Hong Tao was in a cell, his life was not in danger, although he was in a bit of a mess.

However, after learning Yang Yanzhang's identity, Hong Tao was so excited that he cried with joy.

"God has eyes, God has eyes..."

In order to impeach Li Tian, ​​he was framed and imprisoned.

Now that the imperial censor Zhongcheng is here, he will naturally have a chance to get ahead.

"Lord Zhongcheng, Li Tian shall be punished." Hong Tao said harshly.

If he hadn't colluded with the rebels, how could the people of Changping County be in dire straits.

"Don't worry, I have already beheaded this person to show the public." Yang Yanzhang comforted him.

Later, in Hong Tao's explanation, it was learned that Li Tian colluded with the rebels to steal Yangli.

Moreover, Changping County seems to be calm, but in fact the people are in dire straits.

However, due to their power, even if someone suffered grievances, they would not dare to complain to the officials.

There was a clear example before, because Li Tian's brother-in-law stole someone else's wife.

The husband was so angry that he came to sue the government, but was framed as a rebel by Li Tian and was beheaded.

Over time, the people lost confidence in the yamen, and even if anything happened, no one would come to complain.

However, Hong Tao was framed by Li Tian and officials from all over the country just for the sake of justice, and ended up where he is now.

However, he said that he had no regrets, but wished he could kill all these corrupt officials.

Seeing this, Yang Yanzhang could only sigh helplessly.

It is indeed what he said, the sky is high and the emperor is far away, Li Tian can do whatever he wants in Changping County.

"It seems that my decision to kill him was indeed correct." Yang Yanzhang shook his head.

If he had known about his behavior earlier, I might not have had to wait until now.

"Master Hong! Now that you have been wronged, don't stay here anymore."

"I……"

Hong Tao was stunned.

The sudden feeling of happiness caught him off guard.

"Lord Zhongcheng, I..."

"Now that Li Tian has been executed, you will take office from now on and take over his official position."

Yang Yanzhang said lightly.

When Li Qinwei next to him saw this, he immediately showed a shocked expression.

Every local official was appointed by the emperor himself, and now Yang Yanzhang actually gave Hong Tao an official position in the state capital with just a few words of his own.

If someone with ulterior motives finds out about it, they will definitely go to the Queen Mother to participate in his memorial.

"Master Yang! You have to think twice." Li Qinwei reminded.

This matter can be big or small. Once it is traced, they will all be blamed.

"If you know how to make good use of people, you can rest assured. I will discuss the matters here with the Queen Mother tomorrow." Yang Yanzhang expressed.

At present, Li Dan is the emperor, but the Empress Dowager listens behind the curtain, and the power is still in the hands of Wu Zetian.

But in order to quell the rebellion in the southwest, there is no other way.
