Li Xiaofei walked out of the line with tears, in fact, he didn't know that Xiao Qian had been wiping Li Youran's tears, and those words were all taught by Xiao Qian to Li Youran.

After returning home, Hongrui was crying unconscious, Murong Qing scolded her, and Li Xiaofei took them into his arms to comfort them.

The daughter is not going to come back, but this is not the most deadly, and the next situation made Li Xiaofei completely desperate.

"The edict ordered Taishi Murong Ling to send an envoy to Tuyuhun to discuss the joint capture of Guanzhong: Prime Minister Liu Mingge inspected the counties of Nanjingzhou; Ling Shangshu ordered Yuan Hao to inspect the counties of Yizhou; Sikong Chen Zhengnan inspected the counties of North Jingzhou; Du Zhishangshu inspected the Yangzhou counties to Xiaoyu! ”

Friends and enemies were all sent out to inspect, firstly, to prevent more people from getting involved, and secondly, it was also a means for Liu Jian to control the place.

What's more important is that Liu Jian is still hesitating, after all, this Li Xiaofei is the most loyal courtier to him, and rumors are spreading, and he has to deal with Li Xiaofei.

No one wants to bear the charge of killing loyal ministers, and this time no one even in the academy impeached Li Xiaofei, which made Liu Jian even more suspicious of whether Li Xiaofei secretly bribed even the people in the academy.

Liu Jian remembered Liu Mingge's advice and decided to interrogate Su Beishan.

Su Beishan was escorted to the main hall, his face was fearless, and Liu Jian shouted: "Why are you rebelling? And why pretend to be a county order? What does it mean to denounce Li Xiaofei? ”

Su Beishan smiled contemptuously: "My Liang is not saved!" It's hopeless! ”

"Rotten Confucianism! Haha, you think a few shouts from you can be useful? ”

"You think I'm a rotten Confucian, I think you're a faint king! Hahahahaha"

"I know that you all have your hearts set on Li Xiaofei! So what I did was wrong! ”

"Hahaha, do you think Lao Tzu scolded you for a few lies? What kind of thing is Li Xiaofei, useless! It's ridiculous that you stupid man is even afraid of this incompetent person! It's ridiculous that people all over the world still regard you as the reincarnation of Taizu, and they think that they can rely on you to dominate the world and prosper Huaxia! Lamentable! Pathetic! ”

"You guys, that's what you really think?"

"Bah, it's ridiculous that we ordinary people have fed the dogs with all their blood! I can't imagine that the Son of Heaven who is bowed down by the people of the world is actually a coward! ”

Liu Jian was stunned and didn't speak for a long time

Su Beishan continued to break the jar and break: "Lao Tzu doesn't want to live today!" People all over the world regard your Liu family as a nobleman, thinking that you can punish evil and promote good, and save the people of Li from fire and water! But who knew you were so cowardly and incompetent! ”

"I don't want to restore the former glory of the beam! But you fools listen to the ballads! All my hard work was in vain! ”

"Your Majesty knows what a capital is, and the capital is a city that can accommodate everything! The Son of Heaven is also the One who can tolerate everyone! ”

Liu Jian was stunned again, and before he could reply, Su Beishan slammed into the corridor pillar, and the inner supervisor couldn't pull it, and Su Beishan was bleeding.

"Subei Mountain! Why are you doing this? ”

"Your Majesty! In the next place is a capital sin! Today's death is just a change for Li Xiaofei's life! ”

Fortunately, Su Beishan was rescued by the imperial doctors.

Li Xiaofei's problem, for Liu Jian, can no longer be solved.

Unconsciously, Li Xiaofei has won the hearts of the people, and now it doesn't matter whether he kills Li Xiaofei or not, what matters is how to end it.

At this time, Cui Ju also appeared on the table, and praised Li Xiaofei in the text, praising Li Xiaofei for being comparable to Zhou Gong, Lu Wangyi, Yin Huoguang, Liu Jian looked at it and laughed.

At this time, thanks to Cui Ju's appearance, Liu Jian's heart began to sway again.

Even Cui Ju praised Li Xiaofei in the post, that must be

It was Li Xiaofei who did something wrong.

After thinking about it, that is, Li Xiaofei exterminated the Zhongyitang Navy on Dongting Lake, and no one ever harassed Cui Ju's territory again.

Liu Jian didn't know when he started and how indecisive he became, if he had changed before, he would not have been suspicious of Li Xiaofei, and if he had doubts, he would definitely take action without hesitation.

When asked about the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, most of them advocated not to move Li Xiaofei, and only a few newly promoted people catered to the emperor and claimed to maintain the emperor's authority, so they had to be punished.

But how to punish, no one said a specific solution, and kicked the problem back to the emperor.

The eunuchs in the Chen family's army sent back an urgent report, saying that there seemed to be signs of instability in the army.

asked Xiao Qian again, and the answer I got was that His Majesty would kill his cronies before he ruled the world, and I was afraid that it would be a big disappointment.

Then asked the newly canonized concubine Huang Chunzhi, Huang Chunzhi just smiled shyly and said that this is a major matter that His Majesty can decide, and the harem cannot participate.

The distraught Liu Jian instructed Qin Zhong, the head of the inner court, to bring wine and food to eat and drink alone.

Liu Jian, who had drunk half a glass of wine, looked at Qin Zhong who was waiting on the side: "You say!" Should I kill Li Xiaofei? ”

Qin Zhong hurriedly knelt down: "Eunuchs can't interfere in politics, Your Majesty asks like this, and the slave can only be deaf."

"Bastard! If I ask you, you just have to answer! Are you going to be perfunctory? Believe it or not, I cut you? ”

"Your Majesty, the slave has been a eunuch for more than forty years, and since Your Majesty asked the old slave today, the old slave will risk his life to tell the truth!" Qin Zhong raised his head and looked at Liu Jian, there was no fear in his eyes

Liu Jian put down the wine glass and felt that he was a little out of shape, so he got up again and went to help Qin Zhong, "Zhong Ah Weng, please get up and speak, I lost my temper for a while!" ”

Qin Zhong took the opportunity to get up and thanked: "Your Majesty is serious, the old slave is also at fault!" ”

Liu Jian was stunned, "Zhong Ah Weng, what's wrong with you, you have always been loyal to the beam!" ”

"The old slave has always been worried, and he is not an old man in His Majesty's Hidden Mansion, so he has never been able to tell His Majesty something! The old slave is guilty! ”

"Zhong Ah Weng is serious, what makes you blame yourself like this?"

"The old slave has not been able to teach His Majesty the art of the emperor! This is the fault of the old slave! Qin Zhong said very sincerely, but Liu Jian couldn't believe his ears.

The art of the emperor? An old eunuch told the emperor that he wanted to teach the emperor the art of kingship?

However, Liu Jian still followed Qin Zhong's words and asked, "Zhong Aweng is talking about what Shang Shuling told me about how to check and balance the court?" I'd like to hear what Avong has to say? ”

Qin Zhong shook his head: "What Lord Shang Shuling said is also the art of the emperor, and what the old slave wants to talk about is something about His Majesty himself!" Your Majesty can't treat yourself as a pawn anymore, Your Majesty should be the one who holds the chess piece! ”

"The one who wields the chess pieces? Ah Weng also wants to intercede for Li Xiaofei! Liu Jian felt that Qin Zhong was interceding with Li Xiaofei around the bend

"No, Li Xiaofei is not credible, Wenchen is not credible, military generals are not credible, and the public opinion of foreign relatives is even less credible!"

"A-Weng means that only A-Weng can be trusted?" Liu Jian smiled

"Yes, only eunuchs are the most credible! Because everything we have as eunuchs is given by Your Majesty, whether it is status or wealth, it is given by Your Majesty. Life and death all lie with Your Majesty, and the honor and disgrace of your life are closely related to Your Majesty. Wenchen and military generals can change the court, and relatives of the family may seek to usurp the throne, but we eunuchs are the most inseparable from the emperor! Everyone in the world despises us, and if there is a problem in the court, either blame the emperor or the ladies in the harem, and the rest of the sins will be on us, but those civil and military generals have no responsibility! ”

Liu Jian: No

I have to be in awe of this old eunuch, since he was a child, he has been exposed to how bad eunuchs are, so he actually has no good impression of these eunuchs.

"What Ah Weng said has some truth, but I can't use all eunuchs to govern the country and fight!"

"The minions are also self-aware, what the old slave wants to say is that we are the most reassuring sword in the hands of His Majesty, and the current Li Xiaofei is not a eunuch, and the rest are a little different from us?"

Li Xiaofei was mentioned again in this remark, and Liu Jian did not refute it in a hurry, but thought about it carefully.

"I understand what Ah Weng means, this Li Xiaofei is a person with no foundation!"

"If something goes wrong, there must be demons! The old slave dared to continue today, according to his strength, the people who should have the most prophecies and rumors in the world should be Cui Ju and Chen Hongyi! With their strength, not to mention being able to subvert the imperial court, it is more than enough to divide one side! And now that the rumors have appeared on Li Xiaofei, there must be a conspiracy behind this! ”

"Actually, I also know that Li Xiaofei will not be so stupid, but at present, I am already difficult to ride a tiger! There must be a result in this! ”

"Since the rumors and rumors pretend to be providential, then why doesn't Your Majesty let this providence be more of it! As for disposing of Li Xiaofei, His Majesty can also hand it over to Heaven's will! Recently, the autumn drought has been severe, and Your Majesty can ask Li Xiaofei to ask for rain instead of Your Majesty! If you ask for it, it is Your Majesty's wisdom, and if you can't ask for it, Li Xiaofei is not loyal enough! At that time, everyone in the world will know that the so-called eighteen boys are nonsense! ”

Liu Jian's eyes widened: "Ah Weng is deeply hidden, he is worthy of serving several generations of emperors!" ”

"Your Majesty has lifted up, but the old slave just can't bear to be caught in this kind of meaningless suspicion every day. Your Majesty is a chess player, and you must not surrender yourself to become a chess piece. The old slave retires! ”

Liu Jian looked at Qin Zhong, who was slowly retreating, thought for a long time, and finally came out: "Jiang is still old and spicy!" ”

The secret guards outside Li Xiaofei's mansion withdrew one after another within a few days, and Li Xiaofei also received a holy order ordering him to ask for rain.

went to the altar of earth in the northern suburbs to pray for rain, and Liu Jian ordered all the generals above the sixth rank and the captain of the army squadron in Xiangyang to be present.

Outside the altar of earth, the water is twenty miles away, and the autumn is still spicy, and everyone's clothes are soaked with sweat.

Li Xiaofei knelt in the middle of the altar and recited the sacrificial text of the heavens, and from time to time he mispronounced a few words.

In normal times, the civil and military officials outside the altar would laugh at him, but today everyone dared not breathe.

Today, it looks like he is sacrificing to the sky and asking for rain, but he is actually judging Li Xiaofei's life and death, and perhaps the life and death of many people outside the altar.

It began at noon and continued until the end of the Shen hour that the wind began to blow.

The wind rose, the leaves began to shake down, and some people began to get nervous, in case it really rained, it was the Son of Heaven on the bright side, but in fact, it was Li Xiaofei who had the destiny of heaven?

Some people began to be happy, not for anything else, but for a little rain in the arid places hundreds of miles around Xiangyang, so that the people could store water and eat.

Liu Jian's mood was the most complicated, this rain, he needed it, but it was better not now, he began to regret why he listened to Qin Zhong's idea.

By this time, the sky was already cloudy, and the thunder began to roll!

The crowd began to mumble

"Didn't you say that Li Xiaofei has divine powers? Why does this rain look like it's coming, but it still refuses to come down?"

"It's all folk rumors, nonsense, he's not as good as me"

"After all, it's not the true dragon emperor, this rain has to be the real dragon emperor to ask for it"

"Be cautious, if Your Majesty can't ask for rain when you go up, then it's troublesome."
