Li Qitian acted cautiously, so naturally he would not easily listen to or trust anyone. But the timing of this excerpt is too coincidental, Li Qitian didn't want to believe that the Lu family would sell officials, and he always had doubts in his heart.

Others don't know, but Lu Tingzhong traveled to the south, in the name of inspecting the people's situation, but in fact, he was monitoring Xiao Xiao, and in private, Li Qitian also arranged other things for him to do.

If Lu Tingzhong bought the official mantle to make a mission, it would be terrible to think about it.

Li Qitian was full of depression, and with a stroke of his pen, he dismissed the excerpts of the officials.

Who knows, this fold was rejected once, and it was used again in the next day.

Li Qitian rejected it again, and the officials continued to go up, and they actually made three folds for this matter.

Li Qitian's face was already dark at this time, and he viciously wrote down the Lu family in his heart.

What a Lu Heng, he dares to play with me!

After the Qingming Dynasty, Xiao Xiao's body finally improved day by day, and after returning to Beijing for more than a month to recuperate, Prince Zhongshun finally participated in the court meeting.

When Li Qitian saw that he was standing in the civil office, he was a little angry in his heart, and he suppressed the fire and symbolically cared for two sentences.

The rumors outside about his "mistreatment of heroes" have just subsided, and Li Qitian really doesn't want to have another incident. With regard to his appointment after returning to Beijing, he really needs to be well considered.

Li Qitian listened absentmindedly to the deliberations of the courtiers, and before he could think about where to arrange the scumbags, the Duke of Changguo actually stood up again.

"Holy Lord, the ministers must be loyal to Prince Shun......"

The content of Chang Guogong's impeachment of Xiao Xiao is a cliché, and during this period of time, he will be impeached every few days, and every time Li Qitian only says "to be investigated".

However, today, the Changguo Gong and the officials seemed to have made an appointment, and not only did they explain the content of the previous concert. Someone even shouted:

"Prince Zhongshun seems to be a loyal minister, but in fact he is a young man, disrespectful to the saint, and deliberately creates gossip among the people to slander the saint, which is really punishable!"

"Prince Zhongshun was ordered to guard the south, and during this period there was no turmoil in the south, but only to complete his part, so he dared to ask for credit, and even incited people's hearts to show merit for himself, which was nothing more than deliberately forcing the Holy Lord to arrange a higher official position for him."

"This person will do everything for the sake of his career! In court affairs, he has not made any achievements, in terms of character, he is really inferior and hateful, how can such a person be worthy of staying in the capital? It is necessary for him to reflect on himself before it can be activated. ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall.

Many people's eyes are focused on Xiao Xiao.

In the past, they said that they were sick, and they could only go with them if they had any participation. Now that Xiao Xiao is present, those who agree with Xiao Xiao are anxious in their hearts, thinking about how Xiao Xiao will defend themselves, these ministers who support Xiao Xiao know that Xiao Xiao is not a soft persimmon that can be pinched and frustrated by others, and he is framed, so he naturally has to open his mouth to distinguish. They can finally vent their evil spirits.

But who knows, Xiao Xiao actually kept his mouth shut, and bowed his head obediently, as if he had confessed his sins.

This surprised everyone, including Li Qitian.

It also made the officials even more excited, and they came up with ideas on how to punish the owl.

Chang Guogong was like being beaten with chicken blood, and his speech was like toppling a cart of walnuts, without panting in the middle.

"The minister seconded the proposal, and the old minister believed that what Prince Zhongshun did was really not worthy of the word 'loyalty', and it was worthy of the grace of the saints. It is better to let Prince Zhongshun reflect on his life, if it is decided today, Huichuan County should also start construction, there is a lack of a prime minister to supervise here, the minister thinks that Prince Zhongshun can be qualified for this position, let Prince Zhongshun supervise the construction of the imperial tomb to forgive his sins, and also give him time to reflect on his guilt. ”

The officials' eyes lit up and they seconded the proposal.

And the ministers who supported the emperor secretly scolded Changguo Gong in their hearts, this old man is really vicious, and the successive prime ministers who supervised the construction of the imperial tomb did not end well, and Changguo Gong pushed the Xiao Xiao to death!

Some people couldn't help it, so they stood up and refuted it.

"Prince Zhongshun is a hero, and his talent is outstanding, the saint must be reused, the construction of the imperial tomb must be done by Prince Zhongshun, isn't it a knife to kill chickens?"

When the officials heard this, they were naturally unconvinced.

The scene became chaotic, and the ministers quarreled. Only the party has remained quiet.

Li Qitian was thinking at this time.

In fact, he also had a real headache about participating in the performance, all because he had a mind to watch jokes at the beginning, so he was tossed blindly by Dechang Guogong, who didn't stop it for the first time, and then didn't correct his name, and then he didn't have a chance to exonerate him in the future, not to mention that Li Qitian was still awkward in his heart.

Regarding the appointment of Xiao Xiao, Li Qitian has always been worried, and his original intention was naturally not to give him another chance to take power, but the public opinion outside is huge, and if he is not given a position, he will confirm the rumors that he treats loyal ministers harshly.

At such a dilemma, Chang Guogong proposed to let Xiao Xiao be the superintendent of the construction of the imperial mausoleum, which made Li Qitian's eyes light up.

It can not only keep Xiao Xiao away from the center of power, but also catch his mistakes at any time, and let him make less trouble in front of his eyes, say it, and repair the imperial tomb for him, which is also arranged by him with special trust in Xiao Xiao, and it is also an honor for Xiao Xiao, it is simply a double win.

Thinking of this, a stone was put down in his heart. His fingers happily lit up on the armrest of the dragon chair.

The ministers below were still arguing happily, and Li Qitian looked at them as if he was watching a monkey show.

The corner of his eye swept to Lu Heng, and Li Qitian immediately added a new idea in his heart.

Dare to play him as a monkey, buy officials and lords to use people in the court, Lu Heng should also teach some lessons.

"Ahem." Li Qitian coughed lightly.

The loyal ministers were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then they stopped talking, and the court immediately returned to quiet.

Li Qitian said: "Zhixi." ”

"Holy. "Salute.

"The project in Huichuan County has been stopped for a long time, and I really need a trustworthy person to do this superintendent, and I will leave this errand to you."

The ministers in the court were quiet for a while, and the needles could be heard.

The generals who had just quarreled with the officials who impeached Xiao Xiao were indignant, and some people wanted to stand up and say a word to Xiao Xiao.

Who knew that Xiao Xiao bowed first, and responded obediently and fearfully without objection: "The minister obeys the order." Thank you for being on Long. ”

Li Qitian smiled and bowed his head, and said, "Uncle Zhongyi." ”

Lu Heng was lowering his head and thinking about Li Qitian's actions today, when he was suddenly named and stunned for a moment, he hurriedly stood up and saluted, "The minister is here." ”

"I attach great importance to the project of Huichuan County, and since Prince Zhongshun is the prime minister's supervision, the location of this county will be handed over to you. You and Prince Zhongshun are both my ministers of the humerus, and I am sure that you two will be able to work together to make this happen. ”

Lu Heng was already shocked.

Since the Lumen family secretly funded Li Qitian's uprising, it has been more than ten years, and it has been eight years since the Great Zhou Dynasty was established.

Lu Heng is confident that among the nobles of the court, there is no one who can win the sacred heart more than him.

But who would have thought that the Holy Lord would suddenly ask him to be a small magistrate of Huichuan County, and what he did was such a thankless task as repairing the Emperor's Mausoleum?

You must know that on the seat of Huichuan Magistrate, I don't know how many people have died in a row.

Lu Heng was apprehensive and unconvinced.

But out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xiao Xiao, such a tyranny-like character, but now he was like a well-behaved cat, and he agreed to be the prime minister of Nalaoshzi's restoration of the emperor's mausoleum without any objection, which shows that the situation is grim now.

He knew that the Holy One had always been afraid of the Lord.

But if he is obedient and obedient like the owl, he stands up to refute it, no matter what the consideration of the saint's will is, he will only cause the saint to be more dissatisfied.

After a thousand turns of thought, Lu Heng still knelt down and saluted after all, "The minister bows to thank the saint, and the minister must do his best to share the worries of the saint." ”

"Hmm." Li Qitian responded in a long voice.

Because of the obedience of these two, Li Qitian was in a good mood, and he was a little afraid that today's appointment would make people talk behind his back, so Li Qitian added, "Zhixi is not in good health now, and he is not in a hurry to take office, it is not too late for you to take up and set off, and the matter of the imperial tomb will be handed over to the two Aiqing in the future, and the two of you will discuss and set off." ”

"Thank you, Holy Lord, for obeying the order." He bowed neatly.

Li Qitian expressed sympathy for Lu Heng again, "Zhongyi Bo is newly married, so you can also take your family to office." ”

"Yes, thank God for your grace."

When Li Qitian did this, his mood became better and better, and he kept smiling even when he returned to the imperial study after he dispersed.

Not to mention how to arrange the departure of Xiao Xiao and Lu Heng when they go home separately.

The news that Prince Zhongshun and Zhongyi Bo were about to set off to repair the imperial tomb spread throughout the government and the opposition in the blink of an eye.

The discussion of the common people is one thing, after all, they are far away from the struggle for power, and they do not know much about the affairs of the court.

But those who were rolling in the court could see this matter in their eyes.

Among the Tiger Ben army, who admired Xiao Xiao quite a lot, several main generals got the news, and everyone was full of righteous indignation.

"I can't imagine that the prince was born and died and fought so many long battles for the saint, and in the end, he would change to repair the emperor's tomb."

"Grandma's! What kind of official is it to repair the Emperor's Mausoleum? Yes? Isn't this a knife to poke an ant? ”

"The most important thing is that the officials who repair the emperor's mausoleum haven't seen a few good endings, this is to put the prince to death!"

……

Everyone was indignant, but there were also some inspirational people who stayed sober and persuaded the angry people around them, "Okay, okay, don't make noise, spread the word and let people listen, for fear of causing trouble to the prince." The prince is loyal to the saint, and naturally he is happy to accept the order, let's say this, if the people who have a heart listen to it, but also slander the prince for being dissatisfied with the saint, then the prince is not even more wronged? ”

"That being said, the Holy One is too ......"

"You still say! Don't stop talking! ”

Several people reminded each other, for fear that trouble would come out of their mouths, but even the one who kept his reason to stop others was just as angry in his heart.

In ancient times, there were cunning rabbits and dead lackeys who cooked, and now how long has the Great Zhou Dynasty been established? It's too fast to unload the mill and kill the donkey!

Acting like this, how many people dare to do things for the one above wholeheartedly?
