Impeachment will make me stronger, and I will be invincible on the road to death.

Chapter 344: Wrongfully Accused

"Don't even think about it. You don't dare to touch me, and you can't touch the Di family." Di Rendao gritted his teeth angrily and said.

"Why don't I dare to offend you? Let me tell you, you, Di, are now our officials in the Tang Dynasty. Do you think I want to offend you? But you insist on offending me.

There is nothing I can do. Didn’t you say that Da Shi attacked Tubo because of the friendship between Da Shi and Tang Dynasty? Okay, I will give them this friendship. "After Yang Yanzhang finished speaking, he motioned to Xiaoxue to take Di Rendao out.

Di Rendao looked at Yang Yanzhang's cold cheek and knew in his heart that the other party was not joking. He didn't even bother to cover up his threatening tone. It was a naked threat.

And if he really wants revenge, his only choice now is to leave Chang'an and go to other prefectures and counties to escape. Maybe there is a glimmer of hope. Otherwise, he will really die in Datang.

Di Rendao looked at the dignified Di Renjie and hesitated for a moment. As Yang Yanzhang waved his hand for Xiaoxue to lead him out, Di Rendao had no choice but to follow Xiaoxue and walk out of the hall.

As soon as the two of them left Hanyuan Hall, Di Rendao pulled Xiaoxue and said, "Princess, please help me persuade Your Majesty. This time, my Di family has really been wronged."

"Master Di, you misunderstood. This servant has no right to persuade Your Majesty on your behalf." Xiaoxue shook her head, pushed Di Rendao and said, "I will leave first. Master Di, please come back. Your Majesty, your servant here will take good care of you."

Di Rendao took a deep breath and looked at Xiaoxue's hurried back, with a bitter smile on his lips.

He naturally understood the seriousness of this matter. After Tubo was destroyed, the cannibal army went straight to Chang'an. The deployment of such a huge army and the supply of food and grass were definitely not a matter of a day or two.

This means that the Great Eater is ready for a decisive battle with Datang.

So Di Renjie didn't need to guess, he knew very well that this battle would be extremely tragic. Not only was it the time for his father and son to die, but it also represented the Tang Dynasty.

They are about to embark on an unprecedentedly dangerous journey. Perhaps in this war, Datang can survive and become the only winner, or it may be that the entire army is annihilated and completely eliminated from the Central Plains.

Li Dan's wedding gift was still jaw-droppingly luxurious. However, although it was not shabby, it could not be compared with the festive atmosphere of the royal family, or even the excitement of ordinary people's homes.

And with all this, Li Zhi was obviously extremely satisfied, so even though Li Dan felt a little uncomfortable, he still didn't change Li Zhi's mind.

Di Renjie, the daughter of the bride Di Qing, was relieved after Di Renjie thanked Li Zhi and Wu Mei. At least she didn't have to worry about Li Zhi getting angry with her.

After all, her Di family is still regarded as a loyal family in the Tang Dynasty. It still has a good reputation both in the court and among the people.

Li Zhe, on the other hand, accompanied Yang Yanzhang with some embarrassment and sat next to Li Zhi. He lowered his head and said nothing. He didn't know what he was thinking. Perhaps he was still considering how to deal with the situation in front of him.

The Tang Dynasty is now experiencing constant internal and external troubles. Although the Tang Dynasty has not yet been torn apart, it has already made Yang Yanzhang feel depressed and painful.

The Tang Dynasty must reform its civil service. These corrupt officials can no longer be allowed to continue to harm the people of the Tang Dynasty. Otherwise, if they are allowed to be so rampant, sooner or later, the Tang Dynasty will be destroyed at the hands of these corrupt officials who bend the law.

But if you want to reform the government, you need to get rid of these corrupt officials. However, the relationships between these people are intricate and involved. If you want to move them, you will inevitably touch the interests of some people. At that time, there will inevitably be a backlash, and it may even trigger some officials to take risks and confront themselves by any means necessary.

"What do you think?" Li Zhi glanced at Li Zhe and asked. After his son married his daughter-in-law, Li Zhe had been depressed.

"My son does not agree with the reform of officialdom." Li Zhe sighed softly, looked up at his father Li Zhi and said.

"Oh? Then tell me, what should I do?" Li Zhi was slightly surprised when he heard Li Xian's words. This was the first time Li Zhi saw Li Zhe refute his words.

It stands to reason that Li Xian and Li Zhi would always quarrel and bicker on weekdays, and every time it was Yang Yanzhang and Pei Wanying who tried to dissuade Li Zhi from getting angry.

Li Zhe frowned and thought for a while and then said: "Since these corrupt officials are so bold, I suggest that these officials be demoted from Beijing and how about establishing a new policy?"

"Establish a new policy?" Li Zhi looked at Li Xian in surprise. He really didn't expect that Li Xian would come up with this idea.

When he ascended the throne, he announced to the world that the new law stipulates that state officials must act in accordance with the new law and are not allowed to interfere without permission, let alone engage in malpractice for personal gain. Violators will be punished with corruption and will be killed without mercy.

Therefore, since ancient times, no matter which dynasty or dynasty it is, the implementation of the new laws has been strictly carried out in accordance with the new laws, and these corrupt officials.

He had already abolished the new laws in the early years of his accession to the throne, but this did not mean that they no longer had the right to commit crimes and act arbitrarily. On the contrary, they could still enjoy some special preferential treatment in some aspects.

It's just that Li Zhi didn't think it was necessary, because he knew very well that officials in the Tang Dynasty, no matter how bad they were, had their value and role. The so-called seventh-rank officials in front of the prime minister's door were enough to explain everything.

What's more, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty was the prime minister. Even the relatives of the emperor were in awe, so how could he be punished for some trivial things?

Therefore, Li Zhi felt that there was no need to punish them for a small gain. After all, these people still held very high positions, and he also believed that they were also good officials who fulfilled their duties and abided by the law. They only made small mistakes occasionally, and they were not responsible for them. It can be fatal.

But when Li Zhe mentioned it at this moment, he suddenly felt that if these moths were left in the court, it might not be a good thing for the stability of the entire Tang Dynasty.

Especially now, the Dashi Empire and the Eastern Turks are preparing to move, and the Tang Dynasty's own army is also rushing to the Western Regions.

Therefore, if we can take this opportunity to capture these corrupt officials in one fell swoop, or directly demote these corrupt officials, it may help to rectify the official atmosphere.

It will have a huge effect, and it will deter those princes who are ready to make a move better than cutting off their heads directly.

"Are you sure? The power and status of these people now far exceed their original salaries and titles. If they are all demoted now, are you sure it will not cause turmoil?" Li Zhi stared at Li Zhe, hoping that Li Zhe could give an order. He was satisfied with the answer.
