The strongest self-cultivation evildoer in the city

Chapter 2141 Lonely minister! (Second update!)

The division of power in the Eastern Jin Dynasty today is very interesting. As the Son of Heaven, His Majesty the Emperor controls at least half of the power in the entire Eastern Jin Dynasty. Divided by the rich and powerful families,

His Majesty the Emperor has been in power for a long time, and many princes and grandchildren have already grown up, and even have children, but now in the court, there are two princes who are the most powerful and valued by the courtiers. The prince Li Zhi, and the seventh prince Li Xiao.

Don't talk about seniority or inferiority, and don't talk about the distinction between concubine and concubine, because the most qualified person in the Eastern Jin Dynasty should be the eldest son of His Majesty the Emperor, but he has no eldest son, only an eldest princess,

Moreover, the first eldest prince born was born to a low-rank concubine of His Majesty the Emperor. Her natal family didn't have any background, and her status was not high enough, so she simply couldn't enter the sequence of succeeding the emperor.

What's more, the First Prince joined the army not long after he became an adult, and he hasn't been back to the capital for a long, long time.

That being the case, it is natural that the remaining princes have shown their magical powers.

Although His Majesty the Emperor has no intention of appointing a crown prince, in any case, it is right to temporarily accumulate one's own power first.

At the very least, the third prince and the seventh prince are already "princes" now, while most of the other princes are just "Beizi" and "Baile" without even titles.

The Deputy Commander of the Imperial Army may not seem like a big deal, but it is extremely special, because this position happens to be the one who commands the Imperial Army and guards the palace. ,

Therefore, whether it is the third prince or the seventh prince, they are bound to win this seat.

For this seat, they even took the initiative to expose their respective powers in the court. The major wealthy families almost fought for this, their words were so sharp that they almost scolded the entire Tai Chi Hall. It was so messy, it really looked like a vegetable market.

However, what everyone didn't expect was that this seat... would eventually fall on Xu Le's head.

This is definitely a typical battle between the crane and the clam, and the fisherman benefits, right?
Don't talk about them, even Xu Le himself was also stunned. It was his first time to go to court, and after he went to court, no one paid any attention to him. He just leaned against the pillar and listened quietly. Out of his mind, he didn't pay much attention to the things above the court at all.

Suddenly being sealed again by His Majesty the Emperor, Xu Le couldn't help being stunned, and was immediately stunned.

His Majesty the Emperor said lightly, "Where is Xu Le?"

Xu Le stepped forward in two or three steps, and came out with more people, saluted and said: "My minister... accept the decree! Thank you, His Majesty the Emperor, for your kindness!"

His Majesty the Emperor nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand casually, and said, "Retreat! Retreat!"

Throwing down these words, His Majesty the Emperor stood up from the dragon chair, turned around and left.

The great eunuch San Dezi yelled sharply: "Back~~~~~~~!"

Although the officials were full of reconciliation, they could only bow their heads and salute, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Then, after everyone got up, they all involuntarily turned to look at Xu Le.

Xu Le was silent, his face was calm, and he didn't say much.

Everyone looked at him and kept shaking their heads, lamenting Xu Le's good luck, but more complicated emotions.

The stunned look on Xu Le's face before could not be concealed from these old foxes. They knew very well that Xu Le probably did not know about the emperor's arrangement beforehand, but anyway, since the matter is already a foregone conclusion , this is a fact, Xu Le can't disobey it, and the ministers can't refute it,
Because that is resisting the decree, and it is a serious crime of beheading!

"Hehe... Congratulations, Mr. Xu!"

"That's right, Mr. Xu is just here, and His Majesty is so favored by His Majesty, I really have to congratulate Mr. Xu!

There are constant compliments, but from their words and expressions, one can clearly feel the taste of saying that grapes are sour, as well as that kind of sarcasm, disdain, and even hatred!
Xu Le stood there, silent for a while, without saying a word, suddenly turned around and left, leaving the Tai Chi Hall directly.

In the hall, many ministers were startled, and immediately many people became furious!
"Zhuzi! How rude!"

"The young man really has a big temper!"

"As the elders, what's the matter with saying a few words to him? He actually left right away? What's more, he dared to leave without saying goodbye before the prime minister left?"

Yes, there are many invisible rules above the court. For example, after retiring from the court, the first-rank officials such as the highest-ranking prime minister should go first, and those small officials with sesame and mung beans should follow behind. ,
But now, Xu Le obviously doesn't give face.

Not to mention those civil officials, including those generals, couldn't help frowning, thinking that this Xu Le was really from the Yecheng Army, and even his temper was the same as that old Cao Weijin, smelly and tough!

Two flowers bloom, one branch each.

Regardless of what the courtiers said, on the other side, under the leadership of the eunuch, Xu Le had already gone to the imperial army and Jin Yiwei, received the official robe and badge, and then left the palace directly.

Sitting on the carriage, Xu Le slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly sighed faintly.

It was only at this time that Xu Le finally understood why His Majesty the Emperor made a sudden visit last night, and he also clearly told him that he must come to court today. Presumably, His Majesty the Emperor had already decided to take this The seat was rewarded to Xu Le.

However, in this way, Xu Le completely fell into the situation of "the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop".

Originally, according to Fatty Qian's analysis last night, Xu Le hadn't touched the rich and powerful families in Bianjing, and the cakes above the court, and he had no conflict with any prince.
However, since Xu Le snatched the cake from them today, no, passively got the key seat that made everyone jealous, then he will naturally be involved in the turmoil of the court.

Xu Le has reason to believe that the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince have regarded him as a thorn in their side and a thorn in their flesh, right?

Of course, compared to that, Xu Le cared more about His Majesty's attitude!

With the wisdom of His Majesty Li Shizong, he naturally knew that once Xu Le got this seat, he would fall into a very difficult situation.
So why is he still doing this?

The reason, I am afraid there is only the last one!

Xu Le murmured to himself: "Your Majesty, do you really trust me so much? Or do you really have a few years left? You have shown that you value me so grandly, and you will be promoted to a noble , and want me to be a son-in-law! You dote on me so much, do you really want me, Xu Le, to be a... lonely minister who is only sincere to the emperor!?"

Lone minister!

The wind suddenly tightened!
