In the Changle Building, Li Min took a few people to stand at the window on the third floor and looked down at the crowd below, Changle Building is only a few dozen meters away from the Tribute Courtyard, standing on the third floor of the window can clearly see the whole picture of the Tribute Courtyard, at this time the scholars gathered in front of the Tribute Courtyard still did not disperse, and the huge noise was clearly audible in the Changle Building.

"Haha, Mr. Wu's talent is indeed amazing, a mere rumor is better than setting fire to the test papers, now let's see how the emperor responds?" Li Min laughed happily.

"My lord, the wall has ears, be careful." Wu Jie didn't expect Li Min to casually tell the secret in the restaurant.

"Afraid of what? This is the third floor, and there are people guarding the door, who dares to eavesdrop. Li Min said with a big grin.

Wu Jie was afraid of the more he argued, and the more Li Min said, he had to shut up.

Li Min picked up the wine glass with great interest, drank it, and looked proudly at the scholars below who were asking for explanations from the Gongyuan, but Li Min suddenly let out a sigh in his mouth, and said to himself: "Strange, no wonder the emperor is really not worried about the damage to his reputation, and he actually dispatched the Praetorian Guard." ”

Hearing Li Min's words, Wu Jie and the others hurriedly squeezed to the window to look down, and sure enough, a group of Praetorian Guards appeared on the street, blocking the streets around the entire Gongyuan. Xiucai met soldiers, and the reason was not clear, and these soldiers were just excited by righteous indignation and their unwillingness to fall off the list, so they took the opportunity to make trouble. But he never thought of making a fierce conflict with the court, and suddenly saw so many soldiers coming, and his heart was suddenly confused.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!"

"Whoa." Thousands of soldiers knelt down in the dark, and they made a fuss. Hearing the arrival of the emperor's holy decree, no one dared to be rude.

The forbidden army led by the leader began to read the holy decree, and there were a few small commotions among the scholars, but they immediately calmed down again, and when the holy decree was finished, the scholars who knelt on the ground were suddenly like frosted eggplants. Bowing their heads and scattering in all directions, the seemingly murderous Praetorian Guards did not stop them at all, and after a while, the thousands of scholars gathered in front of the Tribute Courtyard were scattered.

Li Min was very sorry when he saw it upstairs, he wished that the Praetorian Guards could arrest the troublemakers, and the bigger the trouble, the better, when the emperor was under pressure, he would either declare the previous examination invalid, or simply abolish the scientific examination. In either case, it is a matter of great damage to the prestige of the emperor, and the Li family has no intention of rebellion now, but it does not mean that he is willing to see the emperor's authority getting heavier and heavier, and the greater the imperial power, it will naturally squeeze the power of the family.

"What does the decree say?" Watching those scholars leave one after another, Li Min asked unwillingly, but unfortunately the restaurant was some distance from the bottom below. Coupled with the thousands of people below huddled together, no matter how Li Min pricked up his ears, he didn't hear a word.

Everyone shook their heads, and one suddenly shouted, "There is a group of Praetorian Guards coming towards the restaurant." ”

Everyone hurriedly looked, and sure enough, after the soldiers below dispersed, the Praetorian Guards who surrounded the Gongyuan just now were also evacuating, but there was a team of Praetorian Guards coming directly in the direction of the restaurant.

"What are you afraid of. And it didn't come at us. Li Min said indifferently: "There's no drama to watch, come, drink with my father." ”

Hearing Li Min's words, everyone also left the window, no one would think that the arrival of this Praetorian Guard would have something to do with them, the Li family Sanzhu Kingdom, even if the emperor found out that the Li family had something to do with it. There is no real evidence. The emperor could only pinch his nose and admit it.

It's just that Li Min had just drunk two glasses of wine when there was a sound of neat footsteps on the stairs outside. The direction of the voice went straight to the third floor, Li Min couldn't help frowning, put down the wine glass and instructed an attendant: "Go and see, which one is leading the team, just say that my father is drinking in the restaurant, I don't want people to disturb me, let them go elsewhere." ”

In order to watch the play today, Li Min chartered the entire third floor of Changle Building, but the expected play was not performed, which made Li Min feel quite unhappy, and naturally he didn't want anyone to disturb him anymore.

As soon as Li Min's words fell, there were several arguments outside, followed by several bangs and fights, the door was rudely kicked open, and Li Min caught a glimpse of the two attendants in front of him who had fallen to the ground in pain, and several Praetorian Guards were pointing at them with weapons, so that the two did not dare to move.

Looking at the person who led in, Li Min forcibly suppressed his anger and asked, "Li Mi, what do you mean by this?" ”

Li Mi had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "It's not interesting, the emperor has an edict to let me read it to the general of the Zhu State and the Duke of Guangzong, but these minions dare to stand in the way, do you think you should fight?" ”

Li Min was puzzled when he heard this, how could the emperor have a will for himself at this time, that is, how did Li Mi know that he was here, could it be that his whereabouts had been monitored by the emperor, thinking of this, Li Min couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat, and reluctantly said: "Li Mi, you won't visit me, right?" ”

Li Mi's face darkened, and he reprimanded: "Nonsense, who dares to joke about the holy decree, do you still have the emperor in your heart?" ”

Li Min's face was also blackened by Li Mi's training, but he was caught by Li Mi, but he didn't make a good sound, although Li Mi's grade was far lower than him, but the title was not lower than him, and he often followed the emperor and was a close minister of the emperor, but he was angry with Li Mi, and said bad things about the Li family in front of the emperor every day, even if the Li family was helpless, the Li family couldn't stand it.

"Lord Pushan misunderstood, my lord didn't mean that, since there is the emperor's holy decree, then please read it." Wu Jie hurriedly played the round.

Li Mi's face softened, and he took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said, "Guangzonggong, take the decree." ”

Seeing that Li Mi really took out the holy decree, Li Min reluctantly straightened his clothes and knelt down, and said, "Weichen Li Min accepts the decree." ”

"Fengtian transported, the emperor said: Cha, the general of the Zhu State, Li Min, the prince of Guangzong, disregarded Jun'en, conspired against the emperor, sold the examiner, leaked the exam questions, conspired with others to set fire to the Wude Palace, and spread rumors...... Everything that has been done is undoubtedly verified, and now Li Minzhu is removed from the post of general of the country, the title of Duke of Guangcheng, and he is sent to the prison of the Criminal Department in advance. ”

Li Min was stunned when he heard it, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, Li Mi made a look, and when the two Praetorian Guards stepped forward to put down the weapons on Li Min's body and the golden talisman he was wearing, Li Min reacted, shook off the hands of the two Praetorian Guards, and snatched the holy decree in Li Mi's hand, and shouted again and again: "This is impossible, how could the emperor make such a decree, you are a fake holy decree." ”

"Bold!"

The two Praetorian Guards drew their long swords and were about to stop Li Min from approaching, Li Mi shook his head and said, "Give it to him." "Put the holy decree in the hands of Li Min.

Li Min took the holy decree, and it was clearly written on it, Li Min laughed wildly, making snot and tears flow: "Impossible, how could the emperor treat the Li family like this?" ”

Seeing Li Min's situation, Li Mi felt happy and a little sympathetic, the ancestors of the Longyou Li family chased after Li Ling, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, the dynasty changed one after another, but the Li family is stronger from generation to generation, to the present of the Great Sui, the favor has been the peak, a three-pillar country, more than 100 people in the whole clan are officials, deep-rooted, every Li clan thinks that the Li family can be passed on for a long time, but I didn't expect this peak is indicating that the wealth of the Longyou Li family has come to an end, whether there can be descendants left, it all depends on the emperor's heart.

"Take him away." Sympathy is sympathy, but it is impossible for Li Mi to release water to Li Min.

Hearing Li Mi's words, Li Min came to his senses, this time he didn't resist, and let the two Praetorian Guards remove the weapons and fish talismans on his body, and asked sideways: "Li Mi, tell me, how are my uncle and cousin?" ”

"Li Min, don't be delusional, even if the emperor decrees to arrest you, how can he miss Li Hun, Li Shanheng, the Li family is now surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, led by Lord Mai Tiezhu himself, if you don't resist, it's okay, if your uncle and others dare to resist, the entire Li Mansion will be razed to dust."

Li Min suddenly died completely, his face was like ashes, Wu Jie and the others also stood aside in a daze, with indescribable panic and helplessness in their hearts, when they took refuge in the Li family, they thought they had found a big tree that they could rely on for the rest of their lives, but they didn't expect the Li family to be finished like this.

"My lord, what about them?"

"Take them all."

At this time, the outside of the Shenguo Mansion on Zhuque Street was surrounded by the Praetorian Guards, and the absolute cronies of the emperor, Mai Tiezhu, Liu Hu, and Li Jing, were riding on tall horses, and were sending people to shout inside, telling Li Hun to open the gate, lay down his arms and surrender.

Li Hun's servants and miscellaneous servants are thousands, including more than 500 elite guards, these people are all elite men and horses who accompanied Li Hun from the battlefield, plus Li Hun is tall and majestic, it is simply a fortress, if it is attacked, the Praetorian Guard may also have a lot of casualties.

To arrest Li Hun, the easiest way is naturally to declare Li Hun into the palace as well, but Yang Yong did not use this method, but directly sent a large army to surround the Li family, once the Li family resisted, its crime of rebellion is undoubted, even for the Li family, no one dares to have an opinion, if you do not resist, it is of little significance to deceive Li Hun into the palace.

Li Hun was in a hurry in the room, the Praetorian Guard suddenly moved, many people thought that this army was going for the soldiers outside the Gongyuan, but they didn't expect the army to turn around and suddenly surround his mansion, Li Hun didn't know what the emperor wanted to do with him, and he was in a dilemma for a while.
