Li Fuguo did not expect that a court political dispute would come so fast and be so intense.

The prime ministers of the Zhengshitang collectively wrote a letter to impeach the Shence Army for their misdeeds and illegal actions in Chang'an.

After the prime ministers wrote their letters, many young censors from Yushitai, including Xinke Scholars Gu Kuang and Wei Yingwu, also wrote letters to impeach the Shence Army for various illegal issues in Chang'an.

For example, the officers of the Shence Army forcibly purchased military resources in the two cities of East and West, and robbed the property of the people at low prices.

Or the soldiers of the Shence Army bullied men and women, and committed crimes in Chang'an City.

Among them, the most important impeachment was the memorial from the Jingzhao Mansion.

The king of Yue presented the emperor's Zhengdan congratulatory gift, but was robbed by two brigade commanders of the Shence Army, and the envoy of the king of Yue was killed, and the new almanac brought by the envoy of the king of Yue was missing.

And these two commanders of the Shence Army were arrested by the Jingzhao Mansion within two days, and they were quickly interrogated to find out that the mastermind behind them was Sun Guo, the captain of the North Chamber Army of the Shence Army.

Witnesses and material evidence, the perpetrator's signature and signature, the accusation of Jingzhao Mansion can be said to be conclusive.

A captain of the Shence Army Xiangjun actually ordered his subordinates to attack the gift presented by the prince. This incident made the emperor seem to have been poured a basin of cold water.

The Shence Army is the emperor's imperial guard and is responsible for the safety of the palace.

Without the emperor's order, they dared to privately dispatch elites to rob and kill the prince's mission to Beijing.

Could it be that they can also rush into the palace and abolish the emperor?
Before the censor played the lawless deeds of the Shence Army, the emperor didn't care.

There are tens of thousands of soldiers in the imperial army, and there are naturally some people who commit crimes, as long as these guys are dealt with, it will be fine.

But the nature of this matter was different, Li Heng only felt cold all over his body.

Memories of Maweipo that day flooded my mind.

That night in Maweipo, the emperor's general Longwu Chen Xuanli found Li Heng and asked him to join the imperial army in a mutiny to force the emperor to abdicate.

Li Heng rejected Chen Xuanli's request, but the Beiya Imperial Army still mutinied.

Li Heng remembered that his father was besieged in that dilapidated room, looking desperately at the soldiers around who shouted the slogan: "Punish the country's thieves, the Qing emperor's side".

Li Heng also saw his father desperately let Gao Lishi strangle his favorite concubine Yang Gui, and also saw the powerful Yang Guozhong family being tortured to death by angry soldiers.

At this time, Li Heng felt not only pleasure, but also a bone-chilling chill.

How terrifying the uncontrolled imperial army is, Li Heng has seen it with his own eyes.

This is also the reason why he removed the Beiya Forbidden Army after returning to Chang'an, and used the Shence Army he promoted to guard the two palaces.

But the Shence Army is so daring, even more unreliable than the Beiya Forbidden Army.

Killing intent surged in Li Heng's heart, but he calmed down quickly.

Now the imperial guards in Daming Palace and Taiji Palace are Shence Army. If he really cleans the Shence Army, the mutiny in Maweipo may repeat itself.

A political animal like Li Heng quickly controlled his emotions.

"Saint, the great general of Fuguo is kneeling outside the hall to beg to see you."

Today Yu Chaoen is on duty in the Royal Study Room, and he said to Li Heng, "The General has been kneeling for an hour."

Li Heng picked up the memorial angrily, threw it on the ground and said: "He still has the face to see me! I handed over the Shence Army to him, what has he done to the Shence Army!?"

Seeing Li Fuguo deflated, Yu Chaoen was delighted.

But he knew the importance of Li Fuguo in the emperor's heart, and he knew Li Fuguo's power even more, so he said: "Your Majesty, calm down! The general of Fuguo just employs people without notice!"

It is also Yu Chaoen's sinister intention to use people without notice. For Li Heng, the emperor, his first priority is loyalty, and the second is ability.

Li Heng has suffered too many incompetent losses!

Prime Minister Fang Guan had no ability to lead troops, ruined the elite of the Tang Dynasty, and almost made the emperor flee back to Lingwu.

Prince Li Chu was incompetent, so he commanded indiscriminately and was defeated in Qingqu, causing the emperor to almost run away.

Once the emperor has the idea of ​​being incapable of Li Fuguo, this is the biggest blow to Li Fuguo's close servants.

Everyone is a rootless eunuch, who is not loyal!

After Yu Chaoen put eye drops on Li Fuguo, Li Heng finally said, "Let Li Fuguo get the hell out of here!"

Li Fuguo entered the imperial study room, and immediately cried bitterly and said: "I am guilty of death! Please forgive me, saint!"

The emperor looked at Li Fuguo, and asked sternly: "You still know how to plead guilty, I ask you, does the case of robbing and killing the feudal lord and presenting congratulatory gifts have anything to do with you!"

Li Fuguo knew that this matter was absolutely unacceptable, and he said firmly: "No matter how heavy the burden is on the minister, the minister would not dare to attack and kill the envoy of the county king! It was the people below who acted recklessly, and the minister was also implicated!"

Li Heng snorted coldly and said, "That Sun Guo is your adopted son, right?"

Li Fuguo was sweating profusely and said: "I am the adopted son of the minister. I have no knowledge of people, and I am not strict in controlling my subordinates. I plead guilty!"

Li Heng sneered and said: "You go and kill this Sun Guo, you hand over your position as a soldier and horse envoy of the Shence Army, and go back to Yeting to take the blame."

Hearing the result of this disposition, Li Fuguo smiled in his heart.

Killing Sun Guo means that the emperor is unwilling to continue the investigation, and Sun Guo is the biggest mastermind of this case.

As for Sun Guo's motives, and whether there is anyone behind it, the emperor is not interested in knowing, nor does he want to know.

This means that Li Fuguo has passed the test.

As for handing over the position of military envoy and burying the court, Li Fuguo didn't care.

He has a strong influence in the harem and the Shence Army, and Empress Zhang is an ally in the harem. As long as the emperor's anger subsides, or the civil servants' attack is over, he will naturally be able to return to his post.

Li Fuguo lowered his head and knelt on the ground and said, "I accept the crime!"

Yu Chaoen regretted that such a good opportunity still failed to bring down Li Fuguo completely.

If a guy like Li Fuguo can't be brought down all at once, with his weight in the emperor's heart, it will be a matter of time before he makes a comeback.

It seems that the emperor still has to rely on Li Fuguo.

Li Fuguo's actions were also very fast. After the emperor gave the order, Li Fuguo immediately ordered the people in his mansion to kill Sun Guo, and then sent someone to send the head to Jingzhao Mansion.

When the imperial decree from the palace was delivered to the Political Affairs Hall, all the prime ministers sighed.

The emperor's order to kill Sun Guo has already shown the emperor's attitude that he will not let the Jingzhao government continue to investigate.

While the prime ministers and hundreds of officials participated in the memorial of the Shence Army, the emperor only withdrew Li Fuguo, the envoy of the Shence Army, and did not deal with other officers of the Shence Army.

The Shence Army still has deep roots, and this time it failed to hurt the roots of the Shence Army, and it will be even more difficult in the future.

The political turmoil before the Zhengdan Great Court Meeting finally ended with a lot of thunder and little rain.

However, the direct rift between civil servants and eunuchs further widened, and the eunuchs tightened their infiltration of the Shence Army.

Perhaps the consequences of this turmoil will not be revealed until a few years later, but bloody seeds have already been planted in the court.

Li Fuguo committed crimes against Ye Ting Palace, King Qi was also found a little wrong by the emperor, and was also fined by the emperor for half a year's salary. This can be regarded as the emperor's explanation to the other sons.

The only one that was not damaged in this turmoil was the Eastern Palace, which did not make any moves during the battle between the two factions.

This time, the East Palace stayed out of the matter completely, and neither impeached the Shence Army with the prime ministers, nor made a fuss about the robbing of the vassal king's envoy.

Now that the gifts of the emperor's sons outside the capital have been robbed or destroyed, only the crown prince and King Qi are left to present gifts to the emperor.

But what kind of gift the crown prince is going to present, the East Palace has always kept it a secret, and the people in Chang'an are also discussing it, wanting to know what great gift the East Palace can come up with this time.

The people of Chang'an even made a gamble to see whether the gift presented by the King of Qi was more valuable or the gift presented by the East Palace was more expensive.

However, the atmosphere in the East Palace at this time was also very tense.

Prince Li Chu stood at the door of Danfang, waiting anxiously.

A puff of blue smoke rose, and the prince rushed in immediately and asked, "Shenxian Yuan! How's the pill?"

The Taoist known as the Immortal, his eyebrows were burnt by the flames, he said resentfully: "I can't get back the pill furnace of the poor Taoist, and the five elements and eight characters of the pills don't match up, even if the ancestors are resurrected, they can't practice it." Longevity elixir!"

Li Chu also sighed.

The Jingzhao Mansion has completely broken with the East Palace, and the "Pill Stove" under the Zhuque Bridge will never come back.

After the Jinggongfang and Zhuqueqiao cases, Jingzhao Mansion's night patrols have been strengthened, and it will not be easy for the East Palace to gather other "human medicines".

So people can only find the bodies of the newly dead, but the five elements and eight characters can't fully meet Yuan Daoren's requirements.

The alchemy failed again, which made the prince very depressed.

Originally, I wanted to offer the elixir of immortality to my father, but now that the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting is approaching, I still haven't been able to practice the elixir.

"Old Immortal, is there no other way?" Dou Shen who was beside him asked.

The Taoist stroked his beard and said, "The medicinal properties of the Five Elements Medicine are not right, so we can only add more ministers and assistant medicinal materials, so that the money for alchemy will be more."

Li Chu gritted his teeth and said: "The old god will write a prescription as soon as possible, and the lonely king will definitely buy it for you!"

The Taoist stroked his beard and said, "Your Highness said, even if I sacrifice my life, I will help His Highness refine this furnace of elixir!"

Wei Yuan re-transcribed the almanac in the study in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.

While Yu Xiaoxiao was playing the pipa, she was rehearsing hard for the dance performance at the Zhengdan Dachaohui.

All forces are making final preparations for the Zhengdan Great Court Meeting.

And even more players poured into Chang'an City, a dusty male player, took a deep breath, and walked resolutely to a small doorway next to the Daming Palace.
