The best little eunuch

Chapter 109
Chapter 109
On this day, after going to court, the emperor said: "My dear friends, there are no one in charge of several departments in the court. Do you have any suitable candidates to recommend?"

As soon as the emperor asked this question, Li Henian and Liu Rufeng immediately began to think in their minds: Is the emperor planning to get rid of those people?In this way, it must be difficult for those in prison to save them.

"Your Majesty, although your lords are being imprisoned now, your lords may not have committed a real crime! After all, this is a crime, and it is still under investigation." Li Henian stood up and said.

If the emperor is really asked to appoint new officials, then he will lose a lot of positions on his side.

"Li Xiang, this is not contradictory. Now is the time for the imperial court to employ people. If your lords are wronged at that time, the imperial court can assign them other errands. However, the court is in urgent need of manpower. There can be no officials in charge." The emperor said to Li Henian.

Yesterday, the Queen Mother talked to him a lot.The emperor naturally also hoped to be in charge of the government. In that case, he would no longer have to act according to Li Henian's color.After all, I am the emperor, not Li Henian!
"The emperor is wise." Knowing that the emperor had made up his mind, Li Henian knew that it would be pointless to fight any longer.If this is not in court, he can try his best to refute the emperor's opinion.But in the Hall of Qinzheng, if he did this, he would most likely be labeled as a criminal and a threat to the emperor. In that case, he might be Li Henian in prison.

"Do you have any good candidates to recommend?" the emperor asked.

Now that your own people have been withdrawn, let your other people fight for these positions again.This is the truest thought in the hearts of Li Henian and Liu Rufeng.

It's a pity that someone was one step ahead of them. Almost as soon as the emperor finished asking, Lin Feng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Mr. Liu Yi, the Minister of the Ministry of War, as the Minister of the Ministry of War. As the Minister of the Ministry of War, Lord Liu Yi is The deputy of the Minister of the Ministry of War, the Minister of the Ministry of War is not here now, so the servant should fill in."

"Well, what Lin Aiqing said makes sense." The emperor nodded and said.

Looking at the ministers below, the emperor said, "Liu Aiqing."

"My minister is here." Liu Yi immediately took a step and knelt down and said.For Liu Yi, he really couldn't imagine how such a good thing would fall on his own head.Whether it's Li Henian or Liu Rufeng, they don't want to see him.Unexpectedly, the position of Minister of the Ministry of War fell on his head.

"I appoint you as Minister of the Ministry of War, and you will be in charge of all affairs of the Ministry of War for me immediately." The emperor said loudly.It was the first time to appoint an official, and it was still against Li Henian. This was really exciting for the emperor.

"I thank the emperor for his kindness. Long live the Emperor Wu." Liu Yi knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the emperor.

Originally, I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life, but I didn't expect to get a heavy responsibility. This was really a big surprise for Liu Yi, who was originally disheartened.Even, his heart, which had been silent for a long time, burst into flames again.

"Lin Aiqing's recommendation is very much in line with my wishes. I wonder if Lin Aiqing has any candidates for other candidates?" The emperor continued to ask.This time, Li Henian and Liu Rufeng couldn't sit still.If you let Lin Feng recommend them all, what chance do you have on your side?

Taking a step forward, Lin Feng bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I recommend Lord Shen Xu, Minister of Rites, as the Censor of Zuodu. Lord Shen Xu has served the imperial court in the Ministry of Rites for many years, and Master Shen is familiar with etiquette, so he is the Censor of Zuodu. The best candidate."

As soon as Lin Feng finished speaking, Liu Rufeng knew that Lin Feng was not on his side.But now the emperor didn't let him speak, so it's not easy for him to interrupt rashly.This is the difference between a court meeting and a small-scale discussion.If it wasn't in such a serious place as Qinzheng Hall, Liu Rufeng could stand up and oppose it, but in Qinzheng Hall, that would not work.He had to estimate the majesty of the emperor.

"Shen Aiqing." The emperor added.

"My minister is here." Shen Xu immediately took a step forward, knelt down and said.

"I appointed you as the censor of the Zuodu censor platform, to pick up all the officials on my behalf." The emperor said.

"Thanks to the emperor for his great love, I will do my best to share the emperor's worries and serve the country." Shen Xu said immediately.It seems that he has a lot of weight in Lin Feng's heart, otherwise, how could he let himself be the censor of Zuodu.Originally thought that this position belonged to Yang Jing.Unexpectedly, a big pie fell from the sky and hit him on the head.

After the emperor's appointment, Li Henian, who couldn't sit still anymore, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this veteran also wants to recommend someone to be Minister of the Ministry of Rites." Okay, although there is a big difference in power, it can still be regarded as the supervisor.

"Your Majesty, the veteran also has suitable candidates to recommend." Liu Rufeng was naturally not to be outdone, his own position was robbed, and of course he wanted to grab a position to come back. Although this position is relatively inferior, it is still better than nothing.

"Since Li Xiang brought it up first, let Li Xiang speak first." The emperor tried his best to put on a fair look, and said.

He cupped his hands at the emperor, and Li Henian said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." For the first time, Li Henian felt that the Emperor was no longer the child he was playing with in the applause.

"Your Majesty, the old minister recommends Lan Yiqing, Minister of Rites, as Minister of Rites. As Minister of Rites, Lan Yiqing is promoted to be Minister of Rites, which is perfect." This excuse was also used by Lin Feng just now, and it seems to be not a big problem.

"Your Majesty, I feel that Master Lan is not enough to convince the public, so I recommend Tang Zheng as Yushi." Liu Rufeng said immediately.Anyway, now is the position, absolutely cannot back down.

"Your Majesty, Tang Zheng is the censor, how can he assume such an important position as Minister of Rites?" Li Henian immediately objected.I just lost a Minister of War on my side. If I lose this Minister of Rites again, wouldn't it mean that Li Henian is too useless.

Looking at Li Henian, Liu Rufeng asked, "May I ask Master Li, what is wrong with Tang Zheng's censor? No matter in terms of information or personal character, Tang Zheng's censor is much better than Master Lan."

"What do you mean by that? Do you mean Master Lan is a good character?" Li Henian asked tit for tat.Indeed, compared to Tang Zheng, Lan Yiqing's qualifications are nothing to mention.Lan Yiqing was only a few years old back then, and in terms of qualifications, he must not be able to compare.However, Li Henian caught a mistake in Liu Rufeng's words and said Lan Yiqing's character, so let's talk about it.

"Your Majesty, this old minister has definite evidence to prove that Lord Lan Yiqing once accepted bribes from examinees, please His Majesty check it out." Liu Rufeng immediately threw a heavy bomb.

"Present." The emperor said a little excitedly.The harder Li Henian and Liu Rufeng fought, the happier he was.This is not exactly what I want, it is best to let Liu Rufeng and Li Henian's influence in the court disappear.Of course, the emperor also knew that this was impossible.

After reading it carefully, the emperor handed the evidence to the queen mother, waiting for the queen mother's decision.

"Lord Li, you can see for yourself." The queen mother said, and gave the evidence to the prince, and he showed it to Li Henian.

Picking up that piece of evidence, Li Henian knew it without looking at it, it was absolutely true, Liu Rufeng didn't have the guts to deceive the emperor and queen mother yet.He also knew that Lan Yiqing's matter would come to light sooner or later. He was lucky last time, but this time Liu Rufeng had enough evidence, so he couldn't defend him anymore.

"Come here, take it down." In the past few days, this is what the emperor said the most.Therefore, this sentence is very proficient.

Soon, the Imperial Forest Army took Lan Yiqing away, and Li Henian could only watch helplessly as the people on his side were taken away, and there was nothing he could do.In this confrontation, Liu Rufeng won with an absolute advantage.

In the next few days, many important members of Liu Rufeng and Li Henian's party were assigned important errands. Of course, their errands were not in the capital.For example, Qiao Xuan, the censor of the right capital, was sent to the northwest to supervise the army, and a member of the political affairs hall was also sent to the southwest to rectify military affairs.Therefore, neither of them had any other ideas.

However, what they don't know is that more and more of Lin Feng's people have occupied high positions, and the proportion of Lin Feng's people in the court is also increasing.These people were not only those who took refuge in him for the first time, but also those who were introduced by Ding Quan and the others.Of course, there are people like Liu Yi who turn to him because of gratitude. All in all, there are many people who turn to Lin Feng, and Lin Feng's power is further expanding.There is a faint posture of becoming a third-party force.

At the same time when the situation in the DPRK and China changed drastically, Lin Feng's interrogation of Li Keyan and others also began.To everyone's surprise, Lin Feng adopted a public interrogation, not only the court officials were present, but even the people in the capital could go to the scene to watch.

For this reason, Lin Feng had no choice but to borrow the old school yard of the Imperial Horse Supervisor as a temporary trial venue. It was only the first day, after the news was released, the people who came to see it were beyond Lin Feng's expectations.

"These common people are quite excited." Lin Feng said with a smile, looking at those common people who dragged their families along to watch the play.

"That's not true, no matter how you say it, it's the first time ever." Dali Temple Secretary Yang Jing said.This time, Yang Jing concurrently served as Minister of the Ministry of Punishments in the capacity of Minister of Dali Temple. Logically speaking, this would not work. However, the responsibilities of Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment are similar, and Li Henian and Liu Rufeng were fighting vigorously, so they didn't pay much attention to this matter. So this impossible thing happened.

Interrogating in front of so many people, even if someone wants to forgive them, it is impossible, so many people in the capital are watching.

"Your Excellency's move is really great. In this way, it will be a real iron case, and it is almost impossible to turn the tables." Yang Jing said to Lin Feng.In the past, whether it was the Ministry of Criminal Justice or the Dali Temple, there was no trial like this.They were all interrogated in the yamen, and ordinary people couldn't see them.

"Haha, this is the power of the masses." Lin Feng said.Now that there are so many witnesses, no matter who uses power, it will not be easy to use.Do you want to risk the disgrace of the world?
The interrogation of these people is actually a formality.evidence?Li Henian and Liu Rufeng had been taken care of long ago.And which of these people who came in didn't have shit on their ass?It would be even worse if he was not careful and was interrogated for other things.

"Li Keyan, I am asking you, what do you want to say?" After the interrogation, Lin Feng asked loudly.

Shaking his head, Li Keyan said: "The criminal officer has nothing to say."

"Let Master Li draw the bet." Lin Feng said to the little official who was in charge of recording.
