Wind King Palace.

Outside the study, Liu Yiyi came over with a cup of ginseng tea, which Liang Xiao took over, and waved his hand and said, "You go down, I'll just send it to the king." ”

"Yes." Liu Yiyi responded crisply, and now, Lu Chen also intends to get closer and closer to her.

After getting Lu Chen's permission, Liang Xiao entered the study with a tray and put it on the table in a proper manner. ”

As he spoke, he took out a silver needle and began to test for poison.

Seeing this, Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't be so nervous, she won't dare to poison her." ”

After the test, Liang Xiao put away the silver needle, poured himself a small sip and tried it first, and then said: "This woman's intentions are unknown, and it is too dangerous for the king to keep her by his side." ”

Lu Chen didn't say anything more on this issue, but took a sip of ginseng tea, and suddenly asked, "Oh yes, Li Gongfu should go back to the capital now, right?" ”

"It should be about the same, but Weichen heard an interesting story." Liang said with a smile.

"Oh? Let's hear it. Lu Chen said with interest.

Liang Xiao said: "A few days ago, there was a 'river god' incident in Wei County, strange things happened frequently, the people in the city were instigated, and they wanted to sacrifice several girls to the river god, this matter was also bumped into by Li Gongfu, and the case was cracked in a few days, and the so-called 'river god' was captured alive, and some people who were deceived by gossip were punished. ”

After hearing this, Lu Chen pondered for a while, and said: "Ordinary agricultural sacrifices or ancestor sacrifices, that is right, but such sacrifices to live people are against the way of heaven, and it can be described as a great crime!" Li Gongfu did a great job! ”

At this time, the eunuch came to report, saying that Li Gongfu asked to see him.

Lu Chen immediately met him in the study, and after Li Gongfu came to the study to see Lu Chen, he first knelt on the ground to salute, held Wang Jian high with both hands, and said: "Minister, Li Gongfu returned Wang Jian, which lasted several months, and the investigation and elimination of corruption among officials in various places has been fruitful. ”

"Oh?" When Lu Chen heard this, he hurriedly asked him to get up, and while Liang Xiao took Wang Jian and sent it up, he also said, "Lord Li has worked hard!" This trip has gone through thousands of mountains and rivers, and it will not disgrace the king's life! Well done! ”

"Your Majesty, please take a look." As Li Gongfu spoke, he also took out a few volumes of official documents from the cuffs of his official uniform and presented them.

Lu Chen took them one by one, couldn't help but look at the official uniform on his body again, and frowned slightly: "As an official of the imperial court, Lord Li should also pay attention to his own image." ”

Hearing this, Li Gongfu's old face turned red, and he hurriedly lowered his body slightly.

Lu Chen shook his head, and then looked at the official document.

In the official document reported, Li Gongfu was concise and to the point, clearly explaining the situation of corrupt officials in various places this time, and there are not many people who embezzle the salaries of martyrs, but there are many other big and small greeds, involving as many as a dozen officials!

The more Lu Chen looked, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and he couldn't help but glance at Li Gongfu strangely, this Li Gongfu is really unkind, to be honest, there are some things that are not necessary to be so clear, as long as they don't cross the bottom line!

But this Li Gongfu has a look!

After reading the official document, Lu Chen put it down and said, "Okay, Master Li is tired of traveling and driving, let's go down and rest first, remember to go to court on time tomorrow." ”

"Huh? King, won't Wechen go back to his own place? Li Gongfu was a little surprised.

Lu Chen smiled and said, "Don't go back yet." ”

At this time, he already had the idea of leaving Li Gongfu in the court, because now the Fengguo court needs a clear stream like him.

The ministers of the DPRK and the Central Committee all had their own mansions in Fengzhou, but Li Gongfu was only a local official before, and he could only stay in the official post house temporarily.

The next day, after the ministers knelt down, Li Gongfu was the first to stand up, in front of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, he directly participated in the Zuo Xiangyi, saying that the Zuo Xiangfu was luxurious enough, but now it is still under construction and expansion, so extravagant and wasteful, it is really not the work of the prime minister of a country!

When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other, Xiao Wang was even more stunned, Lu Chen was also a little speechless, he looked at Li Gongfu, paused for a long time, and then said quietly: "This matter is indeed something wrong with Prime Minister Xiao, Xiao Wang!" ”

"Minister, minister." Xiao Wang hurriedly stepped out, and at the same time secretly swallowed his saliva.

"Did you hear what Lord Li admonished?" Lu Chen asked.

"Minister, the minister heard it, what Lord Li said is very true, the minister will definitely introspect after he goes back, and he will stop work immediately." Xiao Wang said cautiously.

"That's it!" Lu Chen took a deep breath, he was a little helpless, because in his opinion, Xiao Wang was the one who laid the foundation for him! It is understandable to build the Left Prime Minister's Mansion now! But this Li Gongfu just brought the matter to the court, which undoubtedly made Lu Chen unable to come to the stage.

After Xiao Wang returned to the train, he inevitably glanced at Li Gongfu, and above the court, at this time, all the ministers also began to look at Li Gongfu with the same eyes as 'neurotic'.

Immediately afterwards, Li Miaocai came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, although Lord Li handled the matter of the 'River God' in Wei County a few days ago, he should not use Wang Jian to dismiss the local county guard privately!" ”

Hearing this, Li Gongfu stood up again, bent down and arched his hand: "Back to the king, the county guard of Wei County, as a local parent official, but he neglected his duties, allowed the big families in the county to confuse the public, and ignored the sacrifice of young girls, this is a serious crime!" Since Weichen led the king's sword, when he encountered such a thing, he naturally couldn't sit idly by! As for its county guard, Weichen thought that he must be dismissed from his official position! ”

"The county guard of Wei County is indeed responsible, but the crime is not so much, Lord Li is too arbitrary!" Li Miaocai argued.

Li Gongfu also immediately refuted: "Li Shangshu's words are wrong! Our country has always ruled in the dark! Now thanks to the wisdom of the king, the punishment is severe! And under the law, local officials are crucial! If everyone is like this, where is my Gale Law!? The parents and officials on whom the people depend have listened to the fallacy! It's ridiculous! If it is not punished severely, where is the law of the country!? ”

"You!" Li Miao was extremely angry, and then arched his hand towards Lu Chen and said, "King! ”

It's just that as soon as his words began, Lu Chen waved his hand and interrupted him: "Okay! The king already knows about it! Li Gongfu handled it quite well! Lord Shangshu doesn't need to say more! ”

"Yes." Li Miaocai had no choice but to bow down and return to the train.

And in this court discussion, Li Gongfu directly offended the two first-class ministers, and after retiring from the court, the officials looked at him, not to mention how weird.

People also avoided him for a while.

Sima Wen and Liu Yuan walked together, he shook his head and said:

"Although Li Gongfu is upright, but he doesn't know how to detour, he is lucky, he met Mingjun, if he is a little faint, I am afraid he will die a miserable death......"
