The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 712 Need to Consider

Under the dim light, Tian Haofeng sat quietly alone, this matter was extremely difficult for him.Because Li Tianxing's trust in him has been greatly reduced, a smart person can feel it from his eyes.Forcibly seeking the position of the Ministry of Accounting will make people think that you are a guilty conscience.Therefore, Tian Haofeng considered another meaning and planned to retreat as an advance.

He knelt at the gate of the palace from morning to noon, Li Tianxing sat inside, he didn't really want to see Tian Haofeng.In terms of resourcefulness, Li Tianxing is not very good, and he doesn't think too much about details. This may be the mentality of a martial arts practitioner.He originally thought that Tian Haofeng would leave with a sense of humor, but he didn't expect to kneel for three hours.At noon, Li Tianxing's eunuch came out to deliver an edict to let Tian Haofeng in to speak.

"Master Tian." Li Tianxing put on a lazy look on purpose: "I fell asleep, sorry, there are too many beauties in the harem, and I am tired enough at night. Do you have anything to do with me?"

Tian Haofeng kowtowed: "Your Majesty's words are really frustrating. I do have one thing I want to say to my Majesty. I am tired of the officialdom and want to resign and return to my hometown."

Li Tianxing listened dully: "Tired? You haven't been the official minister for long, how could you get tired of it? Are you unhappy because I pardoned Feng Yueqing? Hehe, it's no big deal, both of you My right-hand man, the imperial court must be governed well, one is the appointment of officials, and the other is the taxation of the treasury, you are the two pillars, don't compete too much."

"I'm not competing, I'm just telling the truth." Tian Haofeng said: "Feng Yueqing is right and wrong. On the point of being loyal to the emperor, I agree with him, but I have always been jealous. The 50 yuan he swallowed Two silver coins are the hard work of the common people. I absolutely cannot agree with this."

"Then you mean, I agree?"

"This... I dare not think so."

Hmph, Li Tianxing also noticed that this guy did this on purpose, just thinking that Li Tianxing would listen to him: "Tian Haofeng, when I first met you, you said that the court's appointment of officials is very important. Later, you also It has always been like this, so I made you Minister of the Ministry of Officials."

Tian Haofeng nodded: "Yes, until now, I still believe that the integrity of officials is more important than anything else."

"Then I want to ask you, there are so many officials in the country, there are as many as a cow's hair, why do you only see one Feng Yueqing? Why don't you investigate so much corruption?"

Tian Haofeng said: "It's two different things. Officials from other places can be confused, and officials from the capital will investigate. However, no matter how confused the officials of the capital are, who will investigate? The emperor has a lot of things to deal with every day, and he is too busy with things, so I have to do it for the emperor. Share your worries. Your Majesty, please listen to my advice, even if Feng Yueqing is not killed, he will never be an official again."

Li Tianxing has nothing to do with him: "Actually, I know what you said. But there is a reason why Feng Yueqing didn't pay the 50 taels. He didn't keep the money for himself, but gave it to Du Liang. wife and child."

"That's not okay." Tian Haofeng always had something to answer: "It's the money from the treasury, and only the emperor has the right to distribute it. Although Feng Yueqing has the title of imperial envoy and has the power to reward and punish life and death, according to the ancestral system, he has no Use the qualifications of Kuyin. If everyone in the world uses this reason to evade the court, then everyone can lie about the facts. If things go on like this, the country will not be a country. If this is the case, please think twice."

"Okay, let me think about it, you go down first and wait for news in two days."

"Chen...retire."

He said he came to resign, but now he doesn't mention it. This Tian Haofeng will really find himself a step down.

In the afternoon, Feng Yueqing came to the palace to meet him, he had heard about Tian Haofeng's resignation, the eunuch's mouth was very quick.Based on what he knew about Tian Haofeng, he would definitely say a lot of bad things and pull himself off.After seeing Li Tianxing, he also mentioned this matter.

"Your Majesty, Tian Haofeng and this subject have no quarrel at all, but this time, why did he target me? I can't understand." Feng Yueqing sighed softly: "I have always admired him as a person, but this happened quite unexpectedly. That's strange. If he is really a good official, as the emperor is concerned, why didn't he explain these great things to his ministers when he went to see him."

Li Tianxing said: "He came today because he wanted me to dismiss your official."

Feng Yueqing replied: "Since that's the case, then please ask the emperor to dismiss the minister, and the minister is willing to go outside as a minor official."

"Hahaha." Li Tianxing said happily: "If you are such a capable official and I can't even protect you, then what kind of emperor are you? However, what you said is also very reasonable, and I also think there is something else behind this It's tricky, so, I plan to let you go to Shaanxi as a governor, which is the original position of Du Liang. As for the household department, I also gave him Tian Haofeng. I really want to see what he will do after taking office. It's just that I have wronged you."

Feng Yueqing didn't feel aggrieved at all: "The emperor is merciful, and the kindness is renewed, and I am willing to go to Shaanxi."

Immediately, without going to court, the eunuch announced two decrees. First, Feng Yueqing's investigation into the case was unclear, so he was temporarily removed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, demoted to second rank, and appointed governor of Shaanxi.Second, Tian Haofeng made meritorious admonitions, and those who can do more work. He also served as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs and added double-eyed feathers.

The moment Tian Haofeng received the imperial decree, he was not happy at all, because he saw the four words 'the able one works harder' appearing on the imperial decree, which was very mysterious.This seems to be very beautiful, but it is actually Li Tianxing's irony and sarcasm to himself.

But in any case, he was able to take down the Minister of the Household Department.Among the six ministers, Tian Haofeng holds two important positions, and his position as a minister has reached the extreme. Even the princes and nobles will nod and bow when they see him.

Duke Wen of Dongchang met Li Tianxing alone: ​​"Your servant has seen the emperor."

Li Tianxing helped him up: "Is there any clue?"

Wen Gong said: "Your Majesty, Tian Haofeng has always been more cautious. The slaves have known this number for a few days. After seeing him in Zishi, he often enters the back room of the official department alone, and it takes a long time to come out. The slave sent more people and found that there were still people in the official department. , but this person he met closely with is highly skilled in martial arts, and the servants have followed him many times to no avail. The emperor must have sent someone from Tiance Guards to assist him."

In the middle of the night, the minister didn't go home, nor was he in the hall of the official department, nor in the study, but went to the back room, where the sundries were piled up. What did Tian Haofeng do there alone?

"Okay, I'll let Tiance Guard help you, but be careful! Even if you can't track me, you still can't reveal your identity."

On the one hand, Tian Haofeng, Li Tianxing was also worried about Feng Yueqing, who felt that someone would plot against him.Therefore, he had asked Xingran and Xinming to follow him secretly to ensure Feng Yueqing's safety.He also knew that Zhongyuan Yidianhong was still in Shaanxi for the time being, and with the protection of these three people, no one in Shaanxi could hurt him.

After becoming the emperor, things happened one after another. A royal family from the grasslands in the north came to see him, saying that he wanted to choose a beautiful woman for Li Tianxing, because he didn't have a queen yet.
