Chapter 280 The minister went to kill

More than ten years ago, after the Renchen Palace changed, Li Xin was already the Marquis of Jing'an. However, at that time he was still a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he was of high status and power, these old people in the capital only regarded him as a nouveau riche. Although he respected him on the surface, he could not help but treat him as a child.

But now the Marquis of Jing'an is already twenty-eight years old.

He started to grow his beard when he had his first child. The court had been ups and downs for more than ten years. With the training of the official battlefield, the current Marquis of Jing'an is not terrifying, but he already has some shadows of the old Duke Ye Sheng.

No matter who it is in the court, including the emperor, no one dares to underestimate him any more.

He just asked softly, and Chen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and others' eyes flashed slightly.

Mr. Li smiled kindly, glanced at the many civil servants kneeling on the ground, and smiled and said, "I got up late yesterday and didn't come to participate in the court meeting early in the morning. What are you discussing? Why are you kneeling on the ground?"

"I, Dajin, don't seem to be kneeling down on the rules of discussing politics?"

Chen Kuan was silent for a while, stood up from the ground, and said, "Didn't Mr. Li go back to his hometown to visit my mother's grave? When did he come back to Beijing?"

Li Xin's face was calm and he spoke calmly.

"I was originally in my hometown in Yongzhou, and I was going to rest for two or three years before talking about it, but when I heard something happened in the southwest of my hometown, it seemed that the Shu Palace had a dispute with the imperial court and was about to start a fight, so I thought to go back to Beijing to ask what happened, the capital that I just arrived at yesterday."

"Chen Xiang and Yan Sikong both kneeled on the ground, I wonder if it was because?"

Chen Kuan was silent for a while and bowed slightly: "The Taifu is a noble person, but he is not the auxiliary minister who was left by the late emperor. We are ordered by the late emperor to assist in the government and govern the country. Today's affairs, as well as the national principles of our great Jin Dynasty, please do not interfere."

Speaking of this, he paused, then looked at the officials kneeling on the ground in Weiyang Palace, and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, they will be enemies of all the officials in the court!"

These civil officials were not afraid of the emperor. First, because the emperor did not take power, and second, because the emperor had to take into account his reputation, but they were afraid of the unreasonable Qiu Ba like Li Xin. This Marquis Li was in the court for more than ten years and never suffered any losses. But he also had the imperial guards in his hands. If he really wanted to intervene and stand on the side of the emperor, today's affairs would be difficult to deal with.

Marquis Jing'an no longer paid attention to Chen Kuan, but turned to look at Emperor Yuan Zhao and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I have just returned to the capital. I don't know what happened in the capital. Can Your Majesty solve my doubts?"

Emperor Yuan Zhao nodded and said to Xiao Zheng: "Go and tell Master Li about the cause and effect."

Xiao Zheng immediately nodded, walked down the imperial stairs, came to Li Xin, bowed and told Li Xin about the whole thing one by one.

After hearing this, Marquis Jing'an walked forward two steps, walked to the forefront of the officials, then turned around and faced the officials, and the smile on his face was no longer restrained.

He looked at the officials kneeling on the ground with expressionless expression.

"Everyone, is this going to be a palace change or a rebellion?"

Chen Kuan snorted angrily: "The emperor has lost his morality. We just ask the emperor to temporarily suspend his authority and cultivate his virtues. All the ministers in the palace have nodded in agreement. At that time, Your Majesty is still Your Majesty. How come the palace has changed? Don't slander someone!"

"All officials kneel down and coerce the emperor, how come it is not a palace change?"

Marquis Jing'an sneered: "A group of brave people, who do not want to repent at this time, think that there are many people and powerful people, so the court will not be able to do anything to you?"

He turned around and looked at the emperor, bowed his head and bowed, "Your Majesty, Chen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and others are openly making friends and cliques in the court, and they are holding each other back. Now, more than half of the ministers in Weiyang Palace are indifferent to the emperor!"

"The rules set by the ancestors of the Great Jin Dynasty: the emperor takes power at the age of sixteen, Emperor Wu ascended the throne at the age of threeteen, and was in charge of the government at the age of fifteen. Today they can unite together to force His Majesty to suspend his rule, and tomorrow they can use the same method to abolish the emperor!"

Speaking of this, Marquis Jing'an turned to look at Chen Kuan, his voice cold.

"The former emperor appointed the assistant minister, and appointed the minister who assisted the emperor, not the minister who abolished the emperor. Today, you openly force the emperor and coerce the emperor, what do you intend to do?"

Li Xin respectfully clasped his fists at the emperor.

"I would like to fully investigate this matter!"

These words can be said to be in the heart of the emperor. The emperor waited all morning and was waiting for this sentence. He took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly.

"I... have this intention, so I ask Mr. Li to temporarily lead the Yulin Guard and Qianniu Guard to investigate the matter thoroughly!"

After receiving the order, Li Xin turned his head and looked at the civil and military officials kneeling on the ground, then walked to Ji Lin in the first row on the right, and squinted his eyes.

Ji Lin was still kneeling at this moment, so Li Xin squatted down and whispered to him.

"Grandmaster, when I was in the capital at the beginning of the year, I told you that you are a military officer, don't hang out with civil servants. Almost a year has passed, and the Grandmaster has not listened to my words at all."

Ji Lin was silent for a while, and finally said in a muffled voice: "Teacher Li, there is no distinction between civil and military affairs in this matter. If Your Majesty is not wrong, I am a member of the Great Jin royal family and will naturally stand on Your Majesty's side."

Marquis Jing'an half-squinted his eyes and smiled: "To say something that the Grand Governor doesn't like to hear, people like you who are both fussy and fickle are not only far inferior to the former Grand Governor Ji Ping, but also much inferior to Pei Jin. If you are not a royal family, you will not be able to reach this position even if you give you a hundred years."

"Ansheng is the Duke of the country at home and can enjoy a lifetime of blessings by relying on his surname. Why bother to be an official?"

"It's fine if you come out to be an official, but you're deaf and blind."

Even Ji Lin was so angry by Li Xin's words that he glared at Li Xin and said angrily: "Li Chang'an, don't bully people too much!"

Li Xin smiled.

"Look, look at this time, can this surname on you save your life?"

After saying that, Marquis Jing'an rose up and turned to look at the civil and military officials in the hall, his voice cold.

"The Left Master of Shangshu, the Left Master of Shangshu, the Grand Censor Yan Shouzhu, the Right Master of Shangshu, and the Right Master of Shangshu, the People of Shangshu, are using public service to help others and make friends with each other!"

"The person who came and tied them up with me and sent them to the Dali Temple prison!"

Dozens of Yulin Guards had been waiting outside for a long time. After hearing this, they rushed into the Weiyang Palace without any concern. According to Li Xin's previous instructions, they tied the civil servants with hemp ropes, and then stole their mouths and then took them out of the Weiyang Palace.

After they left, Li Xin did not leave, but looked at the ministers kneeling on the ground with a blank expression.

"I won more than 200 Jinshi exams last year. In another two years, I can start the spring exams, and even get a tribute to the school this year."

"There has never been a shortage of people who are willing to be officials."

"You guys kneel on the ground and stand up now. This matter is considered to have never happened. If you are still obsessed with it, you will not be able to pay for your life or life!"

The "alliance" of civil servants was originally fragile, not to mention that several prime ministers were kidnapped by Li Xin completely unreasonable. The remaining people in the Weiyang Palace were suddenly panicked. When Li Xin was frightened, many people stood up tremblingly.

Marquis Jing'an half-squinted his eyes, glanced at more than 20 people still kneeling on the ground, and sneered.

He turned around and bowed to the emperor on the throne and clasped his fists, his voice very calm.

"Your Majesty, I'm going to kill someone."

Emperor Yuan Zhao nodded in surprise.

Li Xin slowly withdrew from Weiyang Palace, turned around and left with his hands behind his back, with his big sleeves floating.

Controlling the situation in the Weiyang Palace is only the first step. If you only do this, it will be basically useless.

The key is to dare to kill people, and dare not kill people who dare to kill the emperor but not the emperor. If they are afraid of killing them, the storm will naturally be pacified.

This is a stigma that Emperor Yuan Zhao dared not to recite and could not bear.

However, it has nothing to do with Li Xin. He has often taken the blame for the emperor over the years and is already familiar with it.

When the deputy of Marquis Jing'an walked out of the Weiyang Palace and walked in the palace wall, he looked back at the Weiyang Palace hall behind him and curled his lips with some disdain.
