It was another day and night, Mu Jian had no time to rest, and hurried back to the Wan Dynasty, and the people of the imperial city all flocked to both sides of the street to welcome the triumphant return of their emperor. Without spending a single soldier, it was just a negotiation to make Changyan a vassal state of the Wan Dynasty, something that those kings had not done during their reigns in the past.

The people who had recited the scriptures and did not approve of Mu Jian also changed their tune, yesterday Mu Jian was still useless to pick up the useless emperor who missed the upper position, and today Mu Jian has become the Ming Jun admired by thousands of people.

Thousands of empty alleys, just to witness the imperial scenery. The golden carriage moved slowly, but the haughty king sat motionless in the carriage with a faint look in his eyes. He doesn't love his people, and he doesn't like to enjoy the feeling of being embraced. The people are ignorant, and you should not take their joy at you too seriously, and do not take your disgust too seriously, this is the attitude of a king.

Originally, he could get to the palace in an hour, and after nearly two hours of grinding on the road, Mu Jian felt more tired than the day and night journey, and his mind seemed to explode, all of which were the cheers of the people. When he returned to the palace, he had to immediately go to the court to meet his ministers and see if anything had happened.

The emperor personally went to the border to solve the matter of the acquisition of Changyan, which was originally completed smoothly and should be a good thing after returning to the dynasty. But when Mu Jair was away, the cabinet minister made a fuss, and waited for Mu Jair to come back all day to solve the matter.

Mu Jian, who was covered in dust, just sat on the golden dragon chair and accepted the worship of hundreds of officials, and the sound of worship had just fallen, and the echo was not over, and Li Xiang, who was unwilling to be wronged, stood up. Mu Jian's head suddenly hurt, this old thing is really good at finding trouble, he knows that the court will not be calm after he comes back.

"Your Majesty, now Your Majesty is harmonious together, offering great deeds for future generations, and the old ministers congratulate Your Majesty, but they always feel powerless in their hearts. In the future, this court is the world of young talents, the old minister is too old to do his job, today is a day of great joy, by the joy of His Majesty, I hereby ask to resign and return to the field, and return to the hometown. The old thing looked like he had been wronged and had to leave the court. Mu Jian frowned, he was in a bad mood today, Li Xiang was really old and confused, didn't he know how to look at the faces of the people above?

This is not something that makes Mu Jian angry, what makes Mu Jian even more angry is that after Li Xiang finished speaking, Lu Ming, who was standing in the back, actually stood up slowly, "Your Majesty, the old minister is also very old, and he asks to be relieved and returned to the field with Li Xiang, and he will live for a long time." ”

Co-author? These two old horsemen are standing on a united front, and now one is out of his nostrils? What happened in the days when he was away that these two old guys who had turned their faces because of their children's future joined hands again?

Those golden eyes couldn't help but glance at the few people standing under His Highness, Sheng Quan stood there with his head held high, as if he had done nothing wrong, and then looked at Li Wangshu, who was not bent at all like that strong bamboo. Then look at Wanguan, good guy, and no one is afraid of bullishness.

It must be these three rookies of the court who are following the two old guys in the cabinet

, otherwise these two old ministers would not have come out to cry grievances together.

"I have just succeeded to the throne and have been incorporated into Changyan. The imperial court was not stable, and there were many affairs. If General Lee Sang-lu leaves the court at this moment and there are no old ministers in charge, I am afraid that there will be a mess. General Li Xianglu is a veteran of the three dynasties of this dynasty, and he is a pillar of talent, so he must not leave at this time. If the two of you insist on leaving, then I will inevitably think too much, are the two old ministers not used to my style of doing things, or refuse to admit me? Mu Jian knows that if you blindly show weakness to these two old guys, they will only kick your nose and face and make your life more sad.

The soft words were said, and the attitude was clear, Li Xiang and Lu Ming didn't really want to abdicate, they just wanted Mu Jian to give them a face in front of the courtiers, and let the other courtiers know that they were still the two old guys in the court.

However, Mu Jair gave them a sweet date and a slap in the face. I have long known that Mu Jian is more difficult to deal with than the previous two, so Li Xiang also knows that he will accept it when he sees it.

If this person is in a hurry, if they really let them disarm and return to the field, it will be more than worth the loss.

"Thank you for your majesty's concern, the old minister will never dare to be disrespectful to your majesty. It's just that I feel that I can't do it, and I don't have enough strength to get old. ”

"I was fine before I left, why can't I hold my body when I come back a few days after I go out? Could it be that someone showed General Lee Sang-lu a look on his face when I left! I don't think there's anyone else! It must be those three bastards in the cabinet! Wanguan! Holy Spring! Li Wangshu, the three of you bow your heads and don't speak! Stand up and explain it to me! Who dared to provoke Li Xiang and General Lu so boldly! I don't even dare to mess with either of them! Do you dare to give them anger? ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiang and Lu Ming were so frightened that they hurriedly knelt on the ground, Mu Jian's words sounded like he was asking for justice for the two of them, but in fact he was killing. The minister that the emperor doesn't dare to mess with, that's a chaotic minister and thief, who can bear such a hat on his head.

"Your Majesty must never say that! Torture the old minister! The two old ministers here knelt down, and the three young ones also hurriedly walked out and knelt aside, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty all became sunflowers with hanging heads, and they couldn't see a face, and they all wanted to stick their heads in the ground. I thought to myself, but I must not affect myself in this matter.

"Hey! Li Xiang and General Lu are old ministers who follow my father, if I let you be angry under me, my father will not be able to spare me in the future! The three of you! Tell me what's going on! Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about the love of the monarch and the ministers, and punish you! Now Mu Jian directly made a look of favoritism towards the two old ministers, and he would not tolerate it at this time, so he had to say that he couldn't do it.

The first to speak was the first bird in Shengquan, when he was in Yingguan Academy, he was a little overlord who was not afraid of heaven and earth, and his personality did not change at all after he became an official in the court, he only recognized the reason and did not look at his face, Mu Jian liked it so much that he was reckless.

"Your Majesty. Weichen is wronged! Before leaving, His Majesty said that all matters in the DPRK and China should be decided by the cabinet with a high vote. After His Majesty went to Serkin, there were two small things that needed to be discussed by the Cabinet. One is the matter of this imperial examination

, isn't the young lady of Li Xiangjia going to participate in the imperial examination this year? So I thought about the questions for the imperial examination this time, and it was better for Li Xiang to avoid suspicion, but Li Xiangfei said that he had presided over the imperial examination more than a dozen times, and this time was no exception, and he had to continue to preside. After the ministers discussed, some agreed and some disagreed, so the cabinet voted, and Weichen, Lord Wan, and Lord Li all felt that it was more appropriate for Li Xiang to avoid suspicion. Li Xiangbian said that the three of us wore a pair of pants and deliberately bullied the two old ministers, but the cabinet candidates were decided by His Majesty, and the ministers also talked about things and didn't have the idea of standing on the side at all. The second thing is the matter of choosing a concubine, General Lu said that His Majesty is in power but there are really few people in the harem, only the queen, and the royal family has always had few heirs. But Weichen felt that the first emperor had just been gone for less than a year, so it was a bit inappropriate to do red things with great fanfare. The cabinet discussed whether we would not hold a draft at the three stops, and General Lee Xiang and General Lu Ming advocated the draft. Because of these two incidents, General Li Xiang and General Lu Ming felt that the three of Weichen bullied them with few votes. ”

The expression on Shengquan's face was also very rich when he spoke, as if he was wronged. He is a person who is unreasonable and should be reasonable, and if he is reasonable, he must be unforgiving. Mu Jian rubbed his eyebrows, these two things are indeed none of the things Mu Jian wants to do, this old minister just cares too much.

But he couldn't directly say that Li Xiang was nosy. When Li Xiang heard that Shengquan had made a clean mistake, he was even more angry, and glared at Shengquan and scolded him harshly, "If you don't let the old minister participate in the imperial examination, you can't trust the old minister!" The old minister has been an official for decades, and he thinks that he has never been partial, and he has never been sneaky! The old minister's daughter is indeed going to participate in the imperial examination, and the old minister wishes that she would teach her husband and children at home after she failed the list, how could he help her? The old minister wants to preside over the imperial examination just to prove that the old minister is standing upright! If you deliberately avoid it, it will look sneaky and unclean! Moreover, the selection of officials for the imperial court is the unshirkable responsibility of the old ministers! Now the government and the opposition can be described as a mixture of fish and dragons, and there are all kinds of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods! If you don't choose this court well, I'm afraid you're going to make a mess! ”

Oops? Mu Jian suddenly felt that this drama was good-looking. As far as Li Xiang speaks like this, why can't Shengquan hear it? Besides, none of the two people in this holy spring Wanguan is a fuel-efficient lamp, Li Xiangdu said that he looked like this, how could he not be good at tossing and tossing this old horseman?

In the rivers and lakes, Wan Guan is the master of the master, and he really didn't bow his head to anyone when he was a slave to Mu Jian, and when he heard Li Xiang so sarcastic in the Ming Dynasty, Wan Guan, who was kneeling on the side, couldn't help but join the trenches.

"Li Xiang said that the bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods above the court, what does it mean that the fish and dragons are mixed? It's definitely not the civil and military officials of the past, could it be because Weichen was born in the rivers and lakes and was doing businessmen who were indiscriminate, which made Li Xiang feel that he had defiled the pure land of the imperial court? They are all officials in the court, doing things for Your Majesty, and doing things for the people of the world. As long as His Majesty finds it useful, Weichen will not leave the court even if he is pointed out by thousands of people, and he will be His Majesty's courtier for one day, and he will be loyal to His Majesty until he dies. Now the imperial court

There are many new officials, most of whom are personally mentioned by His Majesty, some are from seminaries, some are from famous families, and some are from poor families. However, His Majesty gave these people the opportunity to serve the country, but Li Xiang did not give the opportunity to let the new courtiers serve His Majesty. I really don't know if this world is what His Majesty said, or what Li Xiang said. ”

After finishing speaking, Wan Guan's psychology was relaxed, he squinted at Li Xiang, with a smug smile on his face, Sheng Quan also laughed secretly, and couldn't wait to rush up and pat Wan Guan's shoulder and praise him, "Brother said well!" ”

Li Xiangqi blew his beard and stared, he has been watching in the court for so long, no one has ever dared to give him the steps in front of the court, this holy spring is hard to speak because there is a famous family behind him to support, as the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, just because of the relationship between the holy family Li Xiangshang can endure the rudeness of the holy spring.

Brother Gongzi, he is always arrogant and lawless, and there will be more times to suffer losses in the future, and he will not compete with him.

But Wan Guan, a person who has no backstage, dares to follow him, which makes Li Xiang's face really unable to get off the stage. Can't scare Shengquan, can he not talk about Wanguan, a businessman?

"The world is naturally His Majesty's world, and it is the world of the Mu Dynasty. When the first emperor was there, no matter how many things the old minister did to assist the first emperor, who was the master of the world and the old minister was very clear! Even if the first emperor wanted to ornate who was the crown prince or whether he wanted to ordain the prince as the king, the first emperor would discuss with the old ministers. The first emperor valued the old ministers, and the old ministers naturally took any risk to serve the court! The First Emperor"

"First Emperor, First Emperor, First Emperor. Li Xiang misses the first emperor so much, why didn't he go with the first emperor and continue to serve for the first emperor? The most unpleasant thing for Mu Jian was that Li Xiang lifted him out and pressed himself first. This old thing is really because he is a veteran of the Three Dynasties, so he always pinched and held it, the first emperor pressed him before, Mu Jian was naturally clear, but Li Xiang now sees himself as a person who covers the sky with one hand.

I thought that Mu Jian's indulgence all along, and he would give himself a table today, but what Li Xiang didn't expect was that he seemed to be too impulsive today and poked Mu Jian's scales. After all, the emperor is the emperor, and no one will be happy if he always presses him with the first emperor.

Li Xiang was a little flustered, but he still couldn't stop there, otherwise he would be too faceless. If the hard one doesn't work, the soft one will come, he has been in the court for so many years, if he can't do it freely, he won't dare to say that he is the elder of the three dynasties!

Suddenly, Li Xiang's imposing expression became a pitiful lonely old man, he knelt on the ground and wiped his tears, which was really a little pitiful, "The old minister knows, they all say that this courtier is a courtier, the first emperor is gone, Your Majesty looks at the old minister, this old bone is a thorn in the flesh." It's just that the old minister is used to being open-mouthed in the court, but he is also dedicated to the good of His Majesty and the court. Now that His Majesty and the old minister can't get along, the old minister should have quit a long time ago, but he is reluctant to let His Majesty give up the Mu family dynasty that has served for decades and all his life. You don't have to let His Highness drive the old minister away! The old minister himself will

Walk! also leave a good-looking reputation, lest you do your best for a lifetime, and in the end you are driven away as a lost dog, which really makes the old minister want to cut himself off! ”

"You don't have to cry and hang yourself. Li Xiang is the old man in this court. I don't know who I am, Li Xiang. My father is tolerant and generous, but he is sleepy but ruthless. In Li Xiang's eyes, your master is the first emperor. In Wan Guan's eyes, his master is me. Because of the face of the first emperor, I treated Li Xiang humbly in every way, and in the past few decades, I felt that Li Xiang always had something worth learning from me with an open mind, but since I came to the throne, Li Xiang cried and crushed me with the first emperor. Xu is old and confused, and I really don't think Li Xiang is suitable to stay in this court anymore. Li Xiang also said that he is old, and the future is young. I, the new emperor, naturally also want to train some new officials, Li Xiang wants to leave, I don't stop me, I believe that Li Xingze will replace Li Xiang as the court, for me! Continued Potence. ”

Mu Jian is a sleeping tiger, Li Xiang is the one who wants to secretly pluck the tiger's beard, one day it really stings the tiger, the tiger wakes up, and you will be killed in one bite.

Although Li Xiang knew that Mu Jian might be provoked before, after all, this kid's temper was really irritable. Especially in this posture that is not afraid of the sky and the earth, the first emperor can't compare to him. In terms of ruthlessness, no one in the royal family can compare with the golden python.

also wanted to be measured, but Li's tolerance relative to Mu Jian was too overestimated, and he accidentally played himself to death.

Coupled with the fact that Mu Jian is really in a bad mood today, he is simply adding fuel to the fire and killing himself.

Li Xiang was stunned, knelt on the ground and didn't know what to say, and the ministers in the court all gasped. I didn't expect such a powerful minister Mu Jian to dismiss him in a few words? When the first emperor was in power, he fought with Li Xiang and defended each other for a lifetime, but when he came to Mujian, he didn't want to endure it anymore?

Li Xiang and Lu Yanqi have always been used to contain each other, and now the people in the court can see it thoroughly. Mu Jian doesn't want Li Xiang or Lu Ming, what he wants is a new courtier who is really loyal to him, and he now has many new courtiers. The experienced Zhao Si is considered to be the one who gave an account to the famous family, and the holy spring Li Xingze and Lu Yan can ride it well, and there are also poor students like Li Wangshu who are seen by the world.

He has enough chips in his hand, and he has gradually divided Li Xiang's rights, making him an empty shell minister in the expansion, and it will be much easier to let him go.

Today, Li Xiangcai found that his henchmen had long been gradually decreasing in the unwitting change of the imperial court, and he was now a paper tiger, and he would be broken when he pinched it. Mu Jian had long wanted to get rid of him, but he didn't do anything, just waiting for him to take the wrong step!

Looking at the smiles on the corners of the mouths of those young officials, he knew that he had provoked the wrong person, and it was up to the master to beat the dog, and the master of these new courtiers was either someone else or the current saint! They have chosen the right real backer! And I am still in the sweet dreams of the past, and it is difficult to wake up.

"Old minister, thank you for Your Majesty's Longen." If you lose, you lose, you lose, Li Xiang kowtowed and admitted his mistake.

He couldn't have been more wrong.

Lu Ming knelt on the side, his body trembled, he had never seen any scenes after a long battle, but now this young man sitting on the dragon chair made him shudder. Those golden eyes are like pythons in the jungle, like man-eating tigers, and more like ghosts who catch souls and play with them. He wasn't up against him.

Now the only thing he is glad about is that he didn't get too close to Li Xiang, he wasn't stupid enough to completely vent his nostrils with Li Xiang, and he didn't get removed from his post and swept out of the house.
