"Yes, you are grinding and chirping, believe it or not, I hacked you to death, bastard!" Li Ji said and walked out of the house.

Then several guards looked at him in surprise, only to see that Li Ji was holding something in his hand, a knife.

No one knew where the emperor's knife came from, but Li Ji was furious: "What are you doing!"

A captain of the guard stood up and hurriedly bowed in fright: "Your Majesty, without the order of King Liang, the villain will not dare to let him go."

Li Ji frowned: "King Liang doesn't let me move around casually, that's sympathetic to me." I didn't say I wouldn't let my slaves go out, are you too lenient? I'll tell you a few of you, I want to eat sugar cakes, and if any bastard upsets me, I'll let King Liang cut off your head. ”

It means that I don't have the ability to cut off your heads, but King Liang can. Li Ji is very smart, he knows that he has no power and no power now, so he can only take out King Liang to be a shield.

The guards frowned secretly, after all, you are also an emperor, even if you are a puppet emperor, you have to maintain the royal majesty, how can you spit dirty words at every turn.

Who knew that this trick was not easy to use, these guards were all confidants of King Liang, and they still refused to let them go.

An emperor has done his part, and it is not an exaggeration to say that life is better than death. But Li Ji always has his way: "Very good, very good." What is your name? I remember you. ”

Nima is this a threat, but the chief guard doesn't seem to be afraid of this threat, he bowed down and said, "Villain Zhang Mao."

Li Ji smiled, he threw the knife to Fuquan next to him, and then patted Zhang Mao's shoulder: "Well, not bad." Zhang Mao, you come, I have something to say to you. ”

Youwei and Fuquan were a little scared, they knew Zhu Wen. This person is moody and tyrannical, and if the guards turn around and report the emperor, I am afraid that something will not be good. His Royal Highness was about to die as soon as he became the emperor, and the two of them couldn't help but sweat secretly.

Li Ji didn't care, he turned around with his hands behind his back and returned to the Ming'an Hall leisurely.

Zhang Mao was the chief of the guard on duty, and he was ordered by Zhu Wen to monitor the emperor's words and deeds, but the emperor summoned him. He couldn't shirk it, so he had to follow Youwei to Ming'an Palace.

In the Ming'an Palace, Li Ji immediately restored his majestic imperial image. Standing beside Li Ji with interest, Li Ji sat on the dragon chair and looked at Zhang Mao coldly: "Bold Zhang Mao, why don't you kneel when you see me!"

In Zhang Mao's heart, 10,000 Cao Nima rushed by, and the little rabbit cub didn't have all the hair. You puppet emperor is arrogant, and when King Liang comes back, he will definitely give you a good look.

However, the other party is the emperor after all, Zhang Mao didn't dare to be arrogant, so he still knelt down: "Villain Zhang Mao, I've seen Your Majesty."

Li Ji nodded: "You are under the order of King Liang to monitor me, how can I not know." But do you know what King Liang is most afraid of? ”

Take off the mask so bluntly and get straight to the point, this emperor must have lived enough, isn't this clearly saying that King Liang is dictatorial. You Wei secretly pinched a sweat for the emperor, is Your Majesty crazy, how dare you say King Liang in front of the guards.

Zhang Mao was also taken aback, and vaguely felt bad: "I don't know if it's small."

Li Ji sneered: "King Liang is most afraid of someone betraying, what do you want to do when you come to this Ming'an Palace with me today?" There is for you! ”

Youwei didn't expect the emperor to call himself, the emperor is so powerful, this is to use his own mouth to pull Zhang Mao into the water. He paused and then arrived: "Bold Zhang Mao, he actually brought His Majesty to this Ming'an Palace with the intention of rebelling against King Liang!"

Zhang Mao only felt cold sweat on his back, and King Liang was the most suspicious. He followed the emperor to this Ming'an Palace alone, and if this slanderous word reached the ears of King Liang, he was afraid that he would die without a place to be buried.

Ma De, obviously the emperor called him in. Can it be passed on to King Liang, will King Liang believe it? With his understanding of King Liang, he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go.

Zhang Mao had a feeling of getting on a thief ship, he was so frightened that he hurriedly fell to the ground and begged: "Please let your majesty let go of the villain, the villain is old and young, and the villain is also forced to be helpless."

Li Ji and Youwei glanced at each other, and both of them were secretly happy in their hearts: this move is beautiful.

Li Ji knew that a small captain of the guard didn't have much power, but he was afraid that this person would not pose any threat to him in the future. Just by the fact that he was secretly facing the saint, it was enough to pass it on to Zhu Wen to destroy him. So he said: "Okay, I want Youwei to go out of the palace to buy some sugar cakes for me now, Zhang Mao, what do you think?"

Zhang Mao knelt on the ground and trembled, and after weighing the pros and cons, he finally gritted his teeth: "Sun Neishi, please go and come back quickly."

People say that King Hui Li Ji is cowardly and timid, and has no opinions. never thought that being an emperor would be so insidious, Zhang Mao only felt a cool breath rising from his crotch.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Ji's mouth: "In this case, you are promising, you follow the Zhang guards and let him send you out of the palace." Remember, you must buy me an authentic sugar cake. ”

Zhang Mao had a cold face when he came out of the Ming'an Palace, and followed behind triumphantly.

Seeing that Zhang Mao was about to leave the palace with him, several other guards were startled: "Chief guard, this ......"

Zhang Mao said coldly: "Let him out of the palace, I will take care of something."

If something happens, you have to bear it, if something really happens, none of the guards on duty here will be able to escape, and King Liang will let them die without a place to be buried. But he was the head of the guard, and these guards did not dare to disobey.

After a lot of twists and turns, Youwei was finally able to leave the palace. He took the list given to him by Li Ji and went door to door to visit these ministers.

In June of the second year of Tianyou, Zhu Wen, under the instigation of his confidant Li Zhen and the prime minister of the imperial court Liu Can, gathered more than 30 people from Pei Shu, Dugu Yuan, Cui Yuan and other well-dressed people in the imperial court to the White Horse Post by the Yellow River, and threw their bodies into the river, creating an astonishing "White Horse Change".

Pei Shu and Cui Yuan, these courtiers usually boast of being a clear stream, they disdain to cling to the powerful and pretend to be high, and they were all killed by Zhu Wen.

Li Ji asked Youwei to find these so-called Qingliu pillars.

Of course, some of these people are really clear streams. Seeing the decline of the Tang royal family, they only secretly grieved, but more of them were people who sought to protect their fame and reputation. In general, these clear streams are unwilling to go along with the stream, which is still admirable.

Youwei visited the homes of more than 30 courtiers one after another, and most of them heard that the emperor's chamberlains asked to see him, and they all excused themselves by saying that they were sick and did not see them. Only six people saw Youwei, and two of them made it clear that they would not enter the palace to face the saint.

The Tang Dynasty has existed in name only, these courtiers are still too late to protect themselves, and no one in the dignified empire is willing to say a fair word for the emperor.

Li Ji waited anxiously in the palace, and Zhang Mao, the chief of the guard, was even more frightened, he was afraid that if the dead eunuch left the palace and make trouble, his family's life would be lost.

In the evening, Youwei finally entered the palace with a large piece of sugar cake. Zhang Mao finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the promising figure, while Li Ji was even more anxious.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid have been bought, bought. It is really not easy to buy a sugar cake in Luoyang City, and the slave maid has made a big circle from Xicheng to Dongcheng, which can be regarded as living up to His Majesty's kindness. Youwei said while laughing.

Li Ji was overjoyed: "Oh, hurry up, hurry up, take it to me to taste." As he spoke, he grabbed the sugar cake and chewed it: "It's fragrant, it's really fragrant, that's what it tastes like."

Zhang Maohu looked at Li Ji suspiciously, could it be that the emperor really just wanted a piece of sugar cake?

When he returned to the Ming'an Palace, Li Ji couldn't help but ask eagerly: "Youwei, how are things going?"

You bowed her head sadly: "Your Majesty, when those ministers heard what they meant, some of them directly rejected it. And some of them also made it clear that they would not enter the palace when they saw the slaves, but only two people agreed. ”

Li Ji's eyes lit up, and his breathing became a little short: "Quick, tell me, who is it?"
