Li Wei originally wanted to appear at the Qushui Liuyu meeting to scare these bold scholars, so that they could speak more restrainedly, but after listening to their conversation, she thought it was interesting, so she decided to go back and let the guards check out, who was that Brother Guo, and could guess her mind so accurately.

The two of them did not disturb the group of scholars, and turned back on the boat, Li Wei was inexplicably in a much better mood.

"It is estimated that several major families will send their own people to force you to leave Beichen in the afternoon, right?"

"Those of them, this king has sent people to keep an eye on them, and they must be impressively recognized, and if they are found out in the future, this king will make them unable to take care of their own life and death."

Li Wei smiled and looked at the river, "I feel comfortable to be able to swim side by side with the prince." ”

Guan Qianyi also hooked the corners of his lips, "The minister also has this intention." ”

The two of them smiled similarly, as if there was only one pair left in the world.

The sunset is round, the sky is full of clouds, shining on the imperial capital of Jinhuang, the boiling crowd is surging, and there is one thing that is being talked about in all corners of the capital inn, that is, it is confirmed that the Lord Regent is a native of Xiyu Kingdom, and I heard that His Majesty is going to start thinking of countermeasures to expel the Lord Regent. There are even rumors that His Majesty has a lot of suspicions about the regent, and now that this incident has happened, it will definitely make the regent unable to leave Beichen alive; Of course, there are also some who remain sober and analyze the reason very clearly, saying that it is impossible for His Majesty to attack the regent.

Ma Jingshan from the princess's mansion has also come to the street to inquire about the news these days, and when she heard such rumors, she had to go back and beg her mother after being patient for many days. Let the mother concubine take her into the palace to see His Majesty.

But the thirteenth princess did not agree. Because His Majesty had already sent her an edict, don't make any moves, don't go into the palace to find her, and don't let the lord of Fuyuan make any trouble.

The next day, Li Wei asked them to come up with a solution on the spot, otherwise they would have to bear the consequences according to the method she gave. Several big families didn't move, and the other small families naturally followed silently, and even looked at His Majesty's eyes becoming colder and colder, so they simply shrank their heads and avoided their gaze.

Li Wei was angry again:

"Give you another stick of incense time, if you don't come up with a feasible solution. I'm going to take matters into my own hands. At that time, I hope that all Aiqing will not have any complaints. ”

What His Majesty said made the courtiers tremble, but they couldn't think of how His Majesty would solve this matter, why should they not complain? Could it be that His Majesty's action must have hurt their interests?

Some of the officials began to get nervous, and their eyes looked at their leaders.

Cheng Guogong and Qi Taishi were naturally signaled by many eyes for a long time. After all, there is no way. I had to make a rebuttal:

"陛xià. In this matter, the old minister thinks that he should ask the Lord Regent, these two **** are out and have something, is there any suspicion of not being able to shirk the court? Taishi Qi said in a steady and deep voice. If he didn't have a weak heart, why didn't he personally find His Majesty? If he wasn't the crown prince of Xiyi, why didn't he find His Majesty to clarify in person? If he didn't have a ghost in his heart, why didn't he go to court? ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, this matter should indeed be the most important thing to find the regent, and it will be clear when you ask." The ministers on the side and Taishi Qi were standing in the same line, and when they saw that His Majesty's eyes sank, his voice became much weaker.

Cheng Guogong rarely seconded the proposal to Taishi Qi, "Taishi Qi is reasonable, and the regent should accuse His Majesty." ”

Li Wei glanced at him, "What is Lord Regent's crime?" ”

Cheng Guogong lowered his eyebrows, "The crime of concealing your identity." ”

Li Weiha laughed, "Is the identity of the prince of Xiyu Kingdom?" My father already knew the identity of the regent when he was alive, but he ordered you to keep your mouth shut, and still entrusted him with important responsibilities, and now you are all old? And I are pretending to be deaf and dumb? ”

The young minister was instantly surprised: it turned out that the identity of Lord Regent was really the crown prince of Xiyu Kingdom?

Naturally, several old families were not surprised, but they were even more surprised that His Majesty was so bold to pour it out.

However, now this secret is told by His Majesty himself, when they followed Emperor Tuxuan's side, they were ordered to keep the identity of Guan Qianyi secret, a secret is more than ten or twenty years, **** stuffy in the heart like a pebble, difficult to chew and even harder to swallow, and now that His Majesty has broken this secret, they can also start to start how to break this stone and swallow it again.

Wei Taifu and Zhenghou Wang glanced at each other, and saw the two old foxes of the Cheng family and the Qi family faintly seeing a smug look, and they couldn't help but become more and more worried. If the identity of the regent is no longer a secret, he may be resisted by the people of the whole country, and it will be impossible for Guan Qianyi to continue to stay in Beichen at that time.

But if Guan Qianyi is expelled from Beichen, if such a person gains power elsewhere, he will definitely bite Beichen and not let go. After all, how powerful the Lord Regent is, they can see it for all to see, if such a person becomes an opposing enemy, the Beichen Kingdom is afraid that it will suffer.

Li Wei sat quietly, it was rare to change her posture, but she was leaning back against the dragon chair, supporting the chair handle with one elbow, and supporting her forehead slightly with the back of her hand, as if she was worried and irritable, but she didn't have any expression when she looked closely.

Cheng Guogong took a deep breath, knelt down on one knee and asked for an order, "Since His Majesty also knows that the regent is the crown prince of Xiyu Kingdom, such an identity is not suitable to continue to stay in Beichen, and he is staying in Beichen Kingdom to control the military and political power, if he has any unusual thoughts, Beichen Kingdom is in danger." Please think twice about expelling the foreigner from the country. ”

Qi Taishi also knelt down and asked for an order, "When the emperor was alive, he used his troops boldly and bravely, but in the end, he was betrayed by the people closest to him, so the king's side must be guarded against." Our major families have been able to survive because of the great imperial grace, but we also know that those who are not of the race will have different hearts. For the safety and brightness of Beichen Country, we have no slander in these words, but we cannot be defenseless. But Lord Regent has made great contributions to Beichen Country, and it is impossible for us Beichen to be too ruthless towards him, so the old minister is here, please also think twice about your majesty and expel the foreigner from the country! ”

So then, most of the courtiers also knelt down to plead:

"Please think twice and expel the foreigners from the country!"

"Please think twice and expel the foreigners from the country!"

"Please think twice. Banish the foreigners from the country! ”

Li Wei didn't move for a while, it was said in "The Law of the Emperor" that when the emperor encountered these difficult things to choose, but was forced to make a decision by the courtiers, he had to stay calm more and more, and it was best to let the courtiers not see her thoughts, and when they were unpredictable, the momentum would not be so strong.

Guan Qianyi has not been in the court for the past two days, she feels very tired, and she has to make any decision with this group of cunning courtiers. And what she said was not as upright as Guan Qianyi at the critical moment. There are too few situations that can follow her train of thought, and many decisions are led by the nose, and she has to be cautious.

Lu Xiao looked at her from the side, her eyes were obviously tired, and her mood was slightly heavy. She had to decide on the spot. The matter of the courtier's petition cannot be solved by retreating from the court.

He didn't want to bother her. But if you can really expel Guan Qianyi from the country this time. Then he is the only one who is closest to His Majesty, so does he have a chance? Every time he thought of this, he was inexplicably a little nervous.

Mrs. Wei saw that this situation was not good. He was one of the few people who did not ask for a word, and he said, "Your Majesty, the old minister has something to say." ”

"Mrs. Wei, please speak."

"Although Lord Regent is from Xiyu, he has a lot of credit for Beichen, and I believe that His Majesty and everyone know about it. Moreover, the regent has a lot of power in Beichen, and the military and government occupy one-third of Beichen, if he is pushed out of the country, he must think about the consequences of being counterattacked. In history, many emperors have also caused internal strife and external disturbances because of the reduction of feudal domains and seizure of power, and many princes and princes who have no heart of rebellion have been forced to embark on the road of rebellion. ”

Li Wei was secretly depressed in her heart: Wei Taifu is not a good bird, I thought that he must be speaking at this time to say a few fair words for Guan Qianyi, but I didn't expect him to faintly point the finger at the rebellion, and his mind was also vicious. Why did she forget that Mrs. Wei had always been at odds with Guan Qianyi, and what good things could she say at this time.

The corners of Cheng Guogong's mouth were slightly hooked, and he quickly put it down, and said righteously, "Your Majesty, the Lord Regent has too much power in his hands. ”

Yi Xiaoxian said, "If Lord Regent is here, I don't know if Lord Guogong still dares to talk like this?" ”

Cheng Guogong's face sank, "If Lord Yi says so, you can directly invite Lord Regent back to the court to discuss matters." ”

"Hmph." Yi Xiaoxian is not an opponent, but now that Guan Qianyi is not in the court, there is no way to take the lead.

There was a lot of discussion in the court, and after a while, the sound stopped.

At this time, Li Wei said slowly, "Whether the power is large or not, you all have your own words, if you say that the Lord Regent has too much military power, first weigh the military power in your hands." ”

The ministers were immediately silenced, and it was naturally impossible for them to complain that they had too little power.

The morning pilgrimage did not end until the afternoon.

Li Wei announced her retirement from the court, but left several important ministers of the court, and the remaining shrimp soldiers and crabs had no guidance, and they didn't know what to do next, so they went home peacefully.

Li Wei pulled Cheng Guogong, Qi Taishi, Wei Taifu, Zhenghou Wang, Qian Guangyuan, Yi Xiaoxian, Xiao Liangyi and others to Chongming Palace, called Beichen Luo over, discussed some political affairs, and then set up a banquet and invited them to eat and drink dinner.

Cheng Guogong and Qi Taishi and the others all thought about rushing back early, looking for their subordinates to arrange a plan, and adding fuel to the fire, but after His Majesty left them for dinner, he said that there was a new policy to come out, and he wanted to show them first.

The new deal is related to the water diversion of several large rivers, which requires the opening of mountains and the ground, the opening of canals to divert water, and the project is huge, but the money and light coins look at it, but their eyes are shining, and they keep asking His Majesty about related matters, and they have to follow one side from time to time to pick up a sentence or two. It wasn't until the willow tops on the moon that it was almost dawn that His Majesty let them go home.

But in the early morning of the next day, the imperial city quickly issued a national urgent imperial order.

Please help with the order

The first regent, entrusted by the previous emperor, worked hard for the state

The five frontiers were initially determined, and they galloped through Yinghu Lake and won more than 100 counties

The court looks at it, it is difficult to retreat to the west, and it is difficult to hold the court

Xuanwei served four suits, riskily decided the government, and schemed to plunder the imperial capital

Today, there are courtiers, and the court attacks them, and they spread rumors and make trouble at night

Lie about secret orders, assist in slander, and seek skin for jackals

Several phases of attack and annihilation, want to drive me Beichen, the pillar of the country

I am disturbed, spurred by state affairs, and forget to eat and sleep every time

Only with all the people, with my strength, to resist the difficulties of the court

Jin Xunian, Emperor Jin Xuan, No. 1, all the people, please help order

The Imperial City boiled in an instant, more than ever.

Some people were illiterate, and after listening to the students' reading, they felt that they were not very clear, and after asking a few more questions, they were surprised, and they rushed to tell them, and their words were almost at a loss, but the news spread as quickly as a bird.

"This is the first time I've ever experienced it!"

"This, is this emperor asking us for help? This title is the Helper's Order, which has never come out before. ”

"Hey, how do you talk, is the emperor calling for help? That's to discuss with us! ”

"So what are we going to do? How to help the Imperial Maiden? ”

"Do you really want to help?"

"This emperor list has come down, is there still a joke? The emperor and the maiden have all said that it is all the deception and coercion of these great families, and they all regard the regent as a thorn in their side, and they also spread rumors that His Majesty is going to expel the regent, and even kill the regent, which is really bad enough. ”

"Why don't you take advantage of the excitement now and go to Cheng Guogong's Mansion to have a look?"

"I'm going to Master Qi's house, I heard that their family has a son who is not a descendant, and he is very handsome. Hehe, I heard that the marriage is about to be made, and I don't know who the bride is? ”

"Are you here to help His Majesty or to see the excitement?"

"Isn't it all by the way? Haha, let's go, let's pass by the Wei Taifu Mansion and take a look. Eh, look, aren't there a lot of students in front of you who have already gone to the Wei Mansion? ”

……

Waves of people walked around the imperial city one after another, talking while walking, and the people they met on the road also followed to see the excitement, and some people heard that the emperor had issued a request for help, and even abandoned the stalls, and followed the crowd with high interest.

Not long after, all that was left of the emperor's list was some young people, there were three or five scholars, and a few young people dressed like idlers, without hats, less rigorous as scholars, and a little more free and easy.

"Haha, it's interesting, Your Majesty's order is interesting now!" A Confucian clapped the folding fan in his hand.

"Brother Guo, if it's really as you think, His Majesty's chess move is really surprising. Who would have thought that the emperor who was high in the sky would let the people discuss political affairs? I'm afraid the whole city is going to be turned upside down. ”

Guo Zibi raised his eyebrows, "This matter, I'm afraid that the great family has been rectified by His Majesty, have you noticed?" It seems that no one from the family has come out, not even a person to refute? What does it mean? Explain that they don't know about it, and they haven't thought of a way to deal with it. Do you know that last night, His Majesty left all the important ministers of the court to discuss the matter? Didn't release until dawn? (To be continued.) )
