Raid

Chapter 391
However, Li Shengxi seemed to have expected the little emperor's move a long time ago, and just when the little emperor was about to lead the soldiers out of the city gate, Li Shengxi sent news.

It was suggested that the emperor temporarily close the city to prevent the rebels from fleeing, and the little emperor obeyed.

After that, there was no more news of Li Sheng's attack, until Li Sheng's attack reached the gate of the palace.

Only then did the emperor lead his officials to greet him.

And this time, Li Shengxi did not refuse, and it was not too much for the officials to greet him at the gate of the palace.

As for all the officials bowing down, as long as the little emperor dared to speak up.

After all, at the gate of the palace, what is the difference between the emperor issuing such an order and letting the government go?

"aunt."

"My minister pays homage to His Majesty." Li Sheng bowed down respectfully.

"Auntie, what are you doing? We haven't seen each other for a long time, why are you and my nephew so born?" The little emperor hurriedly asked Li Sheng to get up.

With Li Shengxi's opening, he made another great favor.Taking this opportunity again, he took advantage of the emperor's hand to cut off those officials who were dissatisfied with him.Add another reputation of incompetence to the emperor. After all, the emperor who can imprison so many innocent officials in a short period of time is either incompetent or bad-hearted.

"Returning to the court today, I feel that there are many virtuous ministers missing in the court. If it is all because of humble ministers, it is better to check it carefully so as not to cause unjust imprisonment." If you are an official, if you are unjustly imprisoned, you will be changed to the original post, plus pensions."

Li Sheng's move was indeed to eradicate the disaster for the imperial court, but it was more for the purpose of monopolizing power for himself.

Because what she said was right, and she was even more powerful.

Li Shengxi seemed a little helpless.

The Holy Majesty can punish her, but he must never humiliate her, because she has real achievements, so the Holy Majesty must support her.And the Holy Majesty helped her up, which meant that the matter would not be pursued anymore.

Li Shengxi didn't want to get up, she pleaded guilty and said: "My minister is guilty, please punish me."

"Naturally." Seeing Li Shengxi dismissing his decrees one by one a while ago, the little emperor could hardly control his expression.

Everyone greeted Li Shengxi and went in, Li Shengxi said: "The important leader has been sent to the inner guard, the King of Chu's power has been rooted for a long time, there must be remnants in various places, why not let the officers and soldiers from all over the place search and dig out the dens. "

"If the Holy Majesty really can't bear it, then I would like to donate the income from the fiefdom for a year to the people of the world, so as to make up for today's mistakes. I wonder what the Holy Majesty thinks?" Li Shengxi suggested.

Li Shengxi's expression changed due to negligence, "The two servants have been in the court for a long time. Although they are ministers, they have the talent of ministers. They should be treated as scholars of the state, how can they be lightly insulted at will?

"The sage is benevolent, but the humble minister feels sorry for it. If the sage does not punish, the humble minister will have trouble sleeping and eating." Although Li Shengxi was "lifted" up, he still refused to be forgiven just like that.

The two ministers of the Ministry of War are both Li Shengxi's people, but during the period when Li Shengxi "died", he was imprisoned for various reasons, and he had not had time to fill the position of minister.

Li Shengxi nodded in relief, she looked at Pei Diancheng and King Li, she paused, and continued: "King Li, Duke Pei, the two of you were entrusted by the late emperor to assist the sage, when the sage gave orders, Why didn't you persuade me? Whether it's the people in the south or the courtiers in the country, they are my pillars in the Southern Jin Dynasty."

Li Wang on the other side was very shocked, Li Sheng came back after making meritorious service, and immediately confessed his crime at the palace gate, in order to get rid of the fact that she led the army privately.

"Where is the Minister of the Ministry of War?" Li Shengxi asked suddenly.

Li Shengxi's words were sincere, as if he was an elder, he did not reprimand the emperor as a minister, but taught the emperor as an elder.

Although they wear white clothes, they never use cotton and linen.How to be a cursing minister?As for the other officials, it was just the female slaves in the mansion who were homesick, so they sang a song of homesickness. This can only be said that the famous servant is lenient and benevolent, not entertainment?
Even though the Holy Majesty is concerned about his humble minister, he cannot treat his subordinates like this.In this way, the teaching minister is uneasy. "

The little emperor naturally had no way to refuse, and Li Shengxi, as Minister of the Ministry of War, was in charge of this matter as a matter of course. She even drew up relevant plans, as if she didn't want anyone to interfere, and Li Wang's face became more and more gloomy.

Even if the emperor can't step down, the emperor can't reprimand her.

Li Shengxi continued: "After being attacked by the rebels, I accidentally wandered in Qingxia, and found that the rebel camp might be in the capital. I was very anxious, and worried that Dongchuang's incident would happen, so I privately dispatched [-] Qingxia troops to Beijing. punishment."

Faced with Li Shengxi's proposal, the little emperor naturally had no objection, and he couldn't help but said: "I am young, and for important affairs in the court, it is better to ask my aunt's family to help me."

"Where is the aunt talking about? My aunt is loyal to the monarch and the country, and she thinks everything is for the court. How can I blame it? Besides, my aunt has made great achievements in unifying the country. Later, she cut off the old clan of the previous dynasty, and now she wiped out the rebels. , outstanding military exploits, I haven't rewarded you yet, how can I punish you?" After the little emperor finished speaking, he went to help Li Shengxi himself.

The little emperor was a little embarrassed, and he explained the general reason.

Seeing this scene, Pei Diancheng couldn't help but lament Li Shengxi's shrewdness. He is not short of money to be an official like Li Shengxi.Her fief has reached [-] households, and how many subjects can be supported by her annual income. This is to gain prestige for herself, and she can completely expose this matter.

The emperor has always been gentle and kind, so how could he have bad intentions?
That was incompetence, and Li Shengxi could even use this as an excuse to take away part of his authority.

"This..." The little emperor hesitated.

"Aunt?" The little emperor seemed puzzled.

The little emperor couldn't refuse, because it was a major event for the benefit of the people. Seeing this, Emperor Mingzhang had no choice but to agree.

The little emperor could only act like he was being educated humbly, and immediately ordered the officials to be reinstated.

"In the past, the emperor had seven contending ministers. Although they had no way, they did not lose the world. Today's disaster is caused by the Holy Majesty's concern for the humble ministers. Naturally, it is not the fault of the Holy Majesty. It is just a few auxiliary ministers who are in the court. How can we just sit back and watch the sage care about it and cause chaos instead of stopping it?
First, officials were relegated, and then King Yong, who was inevitably flood-controlled, was recalled in advance.If the flood is serious, it will harm its people.How could King Yong be transferred back rashly?Please also ask the sage to repatriate King Yong to reassure the people. "

After Li Shengxi finished speaking, he knelt down at the gate of the palace.

The courtiers didn't seem to have thought that King Ning would point his sword at several ministers and ministers after returning to the court.

However, Pei Diancheng knew quite well that the more serious the repression of their prime ministers and ministers was, the more power Li Shengxi would gather.

Moreover, Li Shengxi's original intention was not to take back the power of the rest of them, because they had always followed Li Shengxi's lead.

The only one Li Shengxi wanted to suppress was King Li.
