"Smack! Syllable!!! ”

in the main hall. Reverberated with a loud and crisp slap.

After the ten slaps, Li Xuyi's face was already red and swollen, like swollen bread. His eyes were bloodshot, staring at Li Zhen with hatred, and roaring loudly in his heart, he had already formed an enmity with Li Zhen. In Li Xuyi's heart, he had already made up his mind that he must overthrow Li Zhen and remove Li Zhen from the position of the king of Zhennan.

Xu Naizhao looked at Li Zhen in fear, and said in his heart that this person's style is still extremely domineering!

He Guiqing swallowed his saliva, frightened by Li Zhen's methods.

He Guiqing is already a person forty years away, and he is in a high position, and he is a figure with a head and a face. If you are slapped in front of the courtiers and lose face, you will definitely be worse than dead. Therefore, He Guiqing's heart was silent, and he had no intention of fighting with Li Zhen for the time being, and the king of Zhennan in front of him was too crazy. It's just that he has no intention of fighting with Li Zhen, but he can't guarantee that Li Zhen will let him go.

Cixi was angry with Li Zhen's approach, but he had just given Li Zhen a sweet head, and he hadn't taken it back, so he wouldn't tear his face with Li Zhen.

Ci'an was so angry that she tightened the child in her arms.

"Wow! Wow!! ”

The little emperor was strangled uncomfortably, and opened his mouth to cry.

Ci'an reacted and hurriedly comforted the little emperor in his arms. After a lot of effort, the little emperor stopped crying, and lay quietly in Ci'an's arms, slowly falling asleep.

Cixi glanced at the child, and her eyes fell on Li Zhen.

She took a deep breath, tried her best to calm down, and said unhurriedly: "Now that the capital is Nanjing, although the palace gate guards are all complete, and the eunuchs and maids are enough, the imperial court is not enough to operate. The six Shangshu, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and even officials at all levels are far from sufficient. The mourning family planned to transfer the governor of He Guiqing to serve as the secretary of the household department, the governor of Li Xuyi to serve as the secretary of the military department, and the governor Xu Naizhao to serve as the secretary of the ministry to run the imperial court. ”

Li Zhen was amused in his heart, and Cixi finally showed her fox tail.

Previously, He Guiqing and Li Xuyi attacked Li Zhen so hard, just to show in front of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, in order to invite merit, in order to earn more capital for themselves, in order to gain the trust of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. As for Cixi and Ci'an's promise to crown Li Zhen as the king of Zhennan, they first gave Li Zhen a sweetness, and then exchanged official positions in the imperial court.

Cixi and Ci'an's idea is that I have given you great benefits, and now that I want to do something, you must give me benefits. Cixi and Ci'an thought so, but Li Zhen didn't necessarily think so.

At this moment, He Guiqin, Li Xuyi, and Xu Naizhao all looked expectant.

If the three of them change from governors to secretaries of various ministries, it will definitely be an opportunity. The governor is only from the official rank of the second rank, but the book is at least from the first rank, if it is a book with a title, it is a good product. From the second product to the first product, it has entered another level, which belongs to another height in the officialdom.

Countless officials have been stuck in the rank of second-class officials all their lives and have not been able to enter the ranks of first-class officials. Now that the three of them have a chance, even if it is a false title for the time being, it also makes He Guiqing, Li Xuyi and Xu Naizhao excited.

Li Zhen stared at Cixi with a smile, his eyes flashing with a cold light.

The Ministry of War is in charge of the soldiers of the whole country and has the right to mobilize the army.

The household department is in charge of money and money bags.

The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the promotion of officials, choking the necks of all officials.

The Shangshu of the three major ministries are all first-class officials, and they are the most core official positions. Money, military power, and official promotions have almost strangled all the roads of an official. If He Guiqing, Xu Naizhao and Li Xuyi controlled these important official positions, it would definitely be a catastrophe for Li Zhen. Now that Li Zhen has agreed to the appointment, he must have shot himself in the foot.

Li Zhen is very clear about this truth.

Li Zhen shook his head and said: "The Queen Mother, the performance of Li Xuyi, He Guiqing and Xu Naizhao, in the eyes of Weichen, is lacking in the ability to serve as a governor. If he is the secretary of the three major ministries of the DPRK and the Central Committee, he is not capable enough and is difficult to compete! Regarding the appointment of officials in the three major ministries of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Households, as well as the candidates for officials in the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Crime, the Ministry of Industry, and so on, I will select suitable personnel to report to the two Queen Mothers, fill in the officials, and ask the two Queen Mothers to relax. ”

After a pause, Li Zhenlang said: "The current task of the two queen mothers is to take care of the emperor and educate the emperor well, which is the most important thing. The Son of Heaven rules with a bow, this is what the Son of Heaven does. ”

"You ,......"

When Cixi heard this, her face changed with anger.

This Li Zhen is too arrogant!

These words are tantamount to slapping her and Ci'an in the face, clearly saying that the two of them should not interfere in the government, and let alone let the two of them control the power. Since Li Zhen left Nanjing with the army to quell the chaos in Guangxi, Cixi and Ci'an have planned to install officials in the court, and finally installed a part of them, and slowly accumulated some strength.

Now, Cixi and Ci'an have co-opted three governors and wanted to let these three people enter the center, but they were denied by Li Zhen in a word. At this moment, not only Ci'an and Cixi were angry, but He Guiqing and others were also extremely angry.

Li Zhen cut off their official road with a word.

Li Zhen didn't seem to see the expressions on these people's faces, and continued: "I will reconsider the candidates for the governor of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui, and replace the appropriate personnel. As for He Guiqing, Li Xuyi and others, they were temporarily dismissed. I will send someone to investigate your affairs, and if there is no corruption or perversion of the law, I will reassign you to an official position. If there is any corruption and perversion of the law, hehe, wait for the cell. ”

Seeing that Li Zhen was so arrogant, Ci'an couldn't hold back any longer.

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Zhen, almost yelling: "Li Zhen, this is the world of Aixin Jueluo." You are an official, why should you dismiss an official, without the permission of the emperor, you have no right to depose. ”

"Your Majesty?"

Li Zhen smiled: "How can the emperor allow it, is he sensible?" ”

Ci'an said: "The emperor is young, but there is still a mourning family, and the emperor's biological mother. ”

Li Zhen snorted, his expression was serious, and he said coldly: "Queen Mother, what you said is not appropriate!" I was an auxiliary minister of the current court, an official appointed by the previous emperor, and I had the right to handle the political affairs of the court. But the two queen mothers, do you want to interfere in politics when you appoint and dismiss officials? Zu Xun clearly said that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, this is an iron law. ”

"Bastard!"

Suddenly, An Dehai came out again.

An Dehai stared at Li Zhen viciously, like a vicious dog protected by the center, and said loudly: "Before the first emperor died, he gave each of the two queen mothers a seal. However, all decrees that are announced to the world, but all political affairs in the court, must be stamped and agreed by the two queen mothers before they can take effect. It is absolutely useless for you to abuse your power and convey the decree without the seals of the two queen mothers. ”

An Dehai tried his best to express himself and said loudly: "Li Zhen, you have to talk about rules and regulations when doing things, and you must follow the rules." It's not you who have the final say in this world, it's the two queen mothers who have the final say. Now, you immediately apologize to the two queen mothers, and the matter can be reversed. ”

When Cixi and Ci'an heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The two of them were under great pressure from Li Zhen, and An Dehai jumped out and immediately relieved the two of them.

Li Zhen laughed and said: "When the first emperor was alive, Gonggong An, as the little eunuch beside the first emperor, knew the regulations that the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics. This is the law of the ancestors, and no one can violate it, whether it is the current emperor or the former emperor who died. The first emperor let the two queen mothers have seals, but only let the two queen queens stamp the seals, one more procedure, but not so that the two can participate in the court politics, otherwise this is contrary to the law of the ancestors. Once the law of the ancestors is violated, the two seals also lose their effect and cannot be counted. ”

"You quibble!"

An Dehai said loudly.

Li Zhen said lightly: "Gonggong An, do you know Emperor Wu of Han in the Han Dynasty?" ”

"Yes!" An Dehai replied immediately.

When Cixi and Ci'an heard this, a bad premonition rose in their hearts.

Li Zhen's words have a hidden meaning!

Li Zhen's eyes fell on Cixi and Ci'an, and said loudly: "When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty was about to die, the crown prince was young, but Mrs. Gou Yi was still in her prime. Back then, in order to put an end to the harem from interfering in politics, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty decisively gave Mrs. Gou Yi to death. and then reused Huo Guang as an auxiliary minister, so that there was a generation of Ming lords and a great Han Zhongxing. ”

After a pause, Li Zhen continued: "I am kind and benevolent to the first emperor, and I can't bear to give death to the two queen mothers, and I also give the two queen mothers a seal each, this is the benevolence of the first emperor, and this is the love of the first emperor to care about husband and wife." However, if the two empress dowagers regard the benevolence and righteousness of the first emperor as a right and insist on interfering in politics, I, the auxiliary minister, will never agree. Even, I will do extraordinary things on behalf of the emperor. ”

"Extraordinary !!!"

The four words were loud and echoed in the hall.

When Ci'an and Cixi heard this, their faces changed greatly, and even a look of fear appeared in their eyes. They competed with Li Zhen for power and profit, based on the fact that Li Zhen would not go crazy and turn the situation around little by little. If Li Zhen is angered, the two of them can't afford the consequences. As for He Guiqing, Li Xuyi and Xu Naizhao, who were standing next to them, they were also completely stunned.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhen would be so domineering and ruthless, and he actually wanted to kill the queen mother of the two palaces.

An Dehai's scalp was numb, and his body began to tremble.

He is smart and sleek, but after all, he is not a person like Li Zhen who has killed countless people on the battlefield. was shocked by Li Zhen's momentum, and suddenly lost his confidence. Besides, what Li Zhen meant in his words was that even the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces dared to kill, let alone a little eunuch like him. Li Zhen wanted to kill him, it was like crushing an ant to death.

An Dehai took a step back and no longer dared to confront Li Zhen.

It's just that Li Zhen didn't plan to let An Dehai go. This guy is a famous figure in history, and if he is left free now, he may have to make a moth out again. Li Zhen thought about it carefully, and then said: "Gonggong An is not suitable for the position of chief eunuch, go to the Jingshifang to be a deputy chief." ”

"Brush!!"

An Dehai's expression suddenly fell, knowing that this time it was planted. How ironic it is that the chief eunuch of his majesty is now going to serve in the worship room.

Moreover, he is still a deputy chief, which is simply insulting.
