Du Baisheng's face turned red, and he ran towards the palace of Shu in a hurry, he didn't even have time to let his subordinates prepare a means of transportation, so he ran out by himself, he was nearly fifty years old, and he was still in good spirits, not like a dying old man at all.

"Dismissal? Remove my officer? Enlightened Lu, this guy has a problem with his head! ”

Du Baisheng complained while rushing to the door of the Shu Palace. There is still a person standing outside the wide gate, who is arguing with the guards of the Shu Palace, it is the former Shangqing Du Hongchuan.

"Ahh Xiangbang! ”

When Du Hongchuan saw Du Baisheng, he was immediately surprised, and hurriedly took his hand and said, "Xiangbang, help me!" My nephew has removed me from the position of king, and has reduced my knighthood, and he will take my only son into custody! Now that the guard won't let me into the palace, I don't even have a chance to argue! ”

"You've been demoted, I'm here!" Du Baisheng roared angrily, "This unscrupulous student directly dismissed my official and let me care for the elderly at home, how can this be reasonable!" ”

Du Hongchuan was shocked: "The king of Shu actually dismissed the officials of Xiangbang? ”

Du Baisheng gradually calmed down, and now it was useless to be angry with Du Hongchuan, and said coldly: "It must be that there is a minister next to the king, and he has dismissed the officials who are waiting for us...... I must go to the king immediately! ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Du Hongchuan hurriedly yelled at the guards, "Don't you give way?" ”

The guard arched his hand and said: "Lord Xiaqing, the king of Shu said that he will not see anything without the edict!" ”

"Presumptuous! Even if the old man is dismissed, he is still a first-class duke! Du Baisheng said angrily, "If the old man wants to go in, you are not qualified to stop the old man when you are young!" ”

Du Baisheng took Du Hongchuan's hand and went straight to the gate, and those soldiers could only make a gesture to stop it, but they didn't dare to really resist; After all, although Du Baisheng no longer has the position of Xiangbang, he is still the first-class duke of Shu, and no one dares to annoy him.

"Where is the king?" As soon as Du Baisheng broke into the palace, he grabbed a small eunuch and asked.

The eunuch was startled, and said tremblingly: "The great king is now in the main hall......

Du Baisheng threw the little eunuch away and ran directly towards the main hall with Du Hongchuan.

In the main hall, there are six people standing under the hall, that is, Zhongqing Qian Yun and Luo Mian, Xia Qing Tho Fu and Bao Lin, as well as the military guard, the military marquis Bai Qilin and Gong Xi. The four surnames of Chen, Luo, Tax, and Gong are one of the oldest surnames in Shu, and Tho Fu is a native of Tho, and Bai Qilin is a native of Qin.

The military marquis and the military guard hold the military power, and the four secretaries hold the power, except for Du Baisheng and Du Hongchuan, these six people are the second person in power in Shu except for Tho Fu, and behind them stands the most powerful tribal group in ancient Shu.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have called you here today because I have something important to inform." Enlightened Lu said lightly.

The five of them looked at each other, but their eyes were more or less glancing at Tho. They didn't know this person, only Bai Qilin had a slight impression, because he was the first to emerge in the war against Tho, and he was appreciated by the first king, so he still remembered such a hostage of Tho.

But the other four didn't know him, and they didn't know how this stranger suddenly became Xia Qing.

Qian Yun came out of the queue and arched his hand: "I don't know what the king summoned, what is the matter?" ”

"Presumably the secretaries also know that Shangqing and Xiangbang were demoted by this king......"

"That's right, I'm about to ask the king, these two people have made great contributions to the country, why did they suddenly make trouble?" Luo Mian had a long beard and stood out proudly, with a very strong attitude, "If the king can't give a reasonable reason, I'm afraid that the ministers will be unconvinced!" ”

Bai Qilin and Gong Xi looked at each other, as if they were not qualified to speak now, while Yu Lin was already old, so he closed his eyes and did not intend to participate in this dispute.

Enlightened Lu said with a smile: "Luo Qing is not in a hurry, there is conclusive evidence that Du Hongchuan's son Du Wenshan evaded taxes and embezzled, and it is impossible for Du Hongchuan, who is his father, not to know about this, so Lone just demoted his official and cut his knighthood." ”

"What is the sin of Xiangbang?" Luo Mian did not relent, "Xiangbang is the pillar of the country, how can it be easily deposed?" ”

Enlightened Lu knew that this person was Du Baisheng's dog, and sneered: "If the subordinates don't pick it up, those who are prime ministers are guilty of not investigating!" What's more, in the past few days, Lone ordered Qing Tho to investigate Du Baisheng's property, and found that in addition to the normal wealth, the assets of unknown origin accounted for more than ninety percent! It is the sin of ten thousand deaths to win over hundreds of officials and become a force of their own! It is a great favor that Lone did not give him the death penalty, what proof do you need? ”

Tho Fu also said: "In the following investigation, there is no difference from what the king said!" ”

"Presumptuous! What is the matter with you outsiders discussing politics here? Luo Mian said angrily.

Tho Fu smiled slightly: "We are all enlightened king's courtiers, what is the difference between inside and outside?" Or does Luo Zhongqing want to argue for the criminal? ”

Luo Mian's face was bruised, because he was Du Baisheng's henchman, and he was usually a fox and a tiger, but now that Du Baisheng's incident happened, he naturally tried every means to prove Du Baisheng's innocence.

It's a pity that Enlightened Lu is based on conclusive evidence and leniency, and he has no room for defense.

Cold sweat broke out on Chen Yun's forehead, he was also Du Baisheng's henchman, but he was much calmer than Luo Mian, and he didn't come out directly to hit the muzzle. After this incident, Luo Mian will definitely be alienated and gradually lose his real power, so he should wait and see......

"King, Du Baisheng and Du Hongchuan are outside the palace...... Eh! Wait a minute, the king hasn't summoned ...... yet."

"Report what? I'm his teacher, you dare to stop me? ”

Two people suddenly rushed outside the palace gate, and Du Baisheng, who was the leader, looked angry, rushed straight to the main hall, and stood at the head of the ministers; And Du Hongchuan obviously didn't have his temper, and stood honestly outside the palace gate.

"Yo, why is the teacher here? Don't say a word to the students, the students are so good to greet them! Enlightened Lu saw that the Lord was coming, and sneered.

Du Baisheng also did not bow, and said angrily: "King, what is the reason for removing the old minister from his position without reason? ”

"The teacher is so grumpy! When you see Lone, you can't bow to it, is this the ceremony that the teacher taught Lone back then? Enlightened Lu said coldly.

Du Baisheng breathed a sigh of relief, he was used to being arrogant on weekdays, and he didn't take this person in his eyes for a long time. Now that he was whipped for this matter, his face was blushing, and he quickly knelt down and said, "The old minister has seen the king......"

"Flatten......"

"King Xie."

Enlightened Lu knocked on the table and said with a slight smile: "Teacher, don't blame the students for being ruthless, these days Lone has thoroughly checked the treasury and found many vacant funds, resulting in an empty treasury, plus ninety percent of the extra property in the teacher's family for no reason, Lone has to doubt ......"

Du Baisheng was shocked, he had indeed embezzled money from the country, but after a long time, he forgot about it; Now he came to the palace in a rage to ask for his sin, but he forgot what unforgivable mistake he had made in the first place.

"King, there is no evidence to prove that this matter was done by Xiangbang!" Luo Mian said, "Although the money from Xiangbang is unknown, it is really biased to conclude that Xiangbang embezzled state funds just because of this!" ”

Enlightened Lu's eyes narrowed, looked at him and sneered: "In that case, you can talk to Gu about the source of this ninety percent of the tax!" ”

"This ......," Luo Mian said.

Tho Fu took advantage of the situation and said: "No matter where the source of Xiangbang's property is, the crime of corruption is indispensable!" The king has been exempted from capital crimes and punishments, and it is a great gift to reduce his position to a commoner and retain his title! What is your intention in protecting the sinners? ”

Luo Mian looked at Tho Fu fiercely, but he couldn't speak for a while, so he could only retreat silently. Du Baisheng looked at Tho Fu thoughtfully, he knew that the "minister" who had recently come out of Kaiming Lu's side was this person!

Now this man is in power, and his corruption has been confirmed...... He can no longer hinder the development of this guy!

Although he was tempted to take this opportunity to scold him for being a courtier, his years of experience had told him not to do so, as it would only make Enlightened Lu even more disgusted with himself. It's better to go into the wilderness first, taoguang and keep quiet, and then make plans in the future......

"The king, the criminal minister deserves to be punished, and the criminal minister is grateful for what the king has done!"

Kaiming Lu nodded with satisfaction, if things went smoothly like this, it was exactly what he wanted to see the most.

Du Baisheng's words changed suddenly: "But the criminal minister still has a word, and I hope the king will consider it." ”

"Teacher, please speak!"

Du Baisheng said slowly: "First, Hugh is close to women, Xia Wei and Shang are all because of women, and I hope the king will be vigilant!" Second, we should be vigilant against unfamiliar courtiers, and if they have a disobedient heart, we should also detect them as soon as possible. Third, although the minister is outside, he still thinks about the country in his heart, if the king is activated, the guilty minister will not give up! ”

Enlightened Lu frowned, and said in his heart that this old man is leaving, and he still says such ugly words-Hugh is close to women? Do you want to make the Lonely Queen? Be wary of so-called unfamiliar courtiers...... If it weren't for the unfamiliar courtier, Lone's power would still be in your hands!

Do you miss your country? I'm afraid I want to come back and bring down Lone!

He is not a master who is good at admonishment, but he just wants to regain his power quickly. He didn't take Du Baisheng's parting words to heart at all, and only said perfunctory: "The teacher's words, I remember them alone!" ”

"The sinner retires ......"

Du Baisheng reluctantly withdrew from the court where he had stayed for more than 30 years, leaving only an empty sigh and living his life as a rich man. Du Hongchuan saw that Du Baisheng was so down, where did he dare to go in? had to retreat silently, planning to wait for his son to be escorted to the capital of Shu, and then come to the king of Shu to intercede.

After Du Baisheng left, Enlightened Lu knocked on the table with a smile, looked at the people in the hall, and asked, "What else do you have to say?" ”

Chen Yun is a smart person, so naturally he will not answer; When Luo Mian saw the boss being punished, his heart trembled, and he didn't dare to speak. Bao Lin was originally a wall grass, before Du Baisheng was powerful, he followed Du Baisheng, and now that the King of Shu has regained the government, he naturally will not raise objections.

And Bai Qilin and Gong Xi didn't know what the meaning of their existence was.

Tho Fu sneered, all this was one step closer to his plan.

Enlightened Lu stood up with satisfaction and said with a smile: "From tomorrow onwards, the lone general will take care of the government by himself, do you have any objections?" ”

Everyone said in unison: "King Shengming! ”

Bai Qilin and Gong Xi naturally did not treat them in vain, and after the enlightened Lu left the four people in front of him to ambush, he took away some military power from them. The two of them didn't dare to refute, and retreated depressedly.

After everyone left, the enlightened Lu Fang showed a greedy expression, and asked Chao Thofu, "Xiaqing, how is Gu doing today?" ”

Tho Fu gave a thumbs up: "The king is really a vast ancient Mingjun!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Kaiming Lu laughed for a while, but suddenly sank his face and asked cautiously, "That, Xiaqing...... Where is your daughter now? These days, I think about loneliness day and night, when will you bring it with loneliness? ”

A few days ago, Tho Fu said that he had a daughter who was beautiful and fragrant, and the touted sky was full of flowers, and the enlightened Lu drooled. He agreed that after Kaiming Lu regained power, he would call him and build a harem for him, which naturally echoed Kaiming Lu's intentions.

is suppressed by Du Baisheng every day, and he has long wanted to touch a woman's smooth and tender skin! He hadn't felt the collision of flesh for months, and if he were a normal king, he would have suffocated to death!

Tho Fu sneered, after you fall into the female sex, it will be the time for him to gain power!

He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the minister ......will arrange it immediately."
