Yun Chu sent Huang Tong back too quickly, and there was no news in advance, but his secret performance was earlier than Huang Tong's return, which gave him the opportunity to block Huang Tong in the palace and end the disaster with one sword.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing can only be seen by the emperor himself, Li Zhi's eyes have not been very good in the past two years, so he asked the eunuchs to read it to him, but this thought, the secret music is not a secret music, and everyone who should know knows it.

For example, the queen, such as the prince, such as the caring person Li Jingxuan.

Although the killing of Huang Tong was carried out in a hurry, and there were many troubles, it was not serious compared to the fact that Huang Tong opened his mouth to tell the emperor how he Li Jingxuan dumped the pot.

Li Zhi saw that Li Jingxuan was unfortunate to cover up the killing of Huang Tong, so he asked with doubts: "I have seen Huang Tong's past, although my talent is a little lacking, but this person is still very familiar with mining, a large amount of carbon ore has been found in this Yanshi County, if it can be mined, it will be enough to supply Luoyang's needs."

Why do you, Yun Chu, and Wen Rou all say that this person is a fool? ”

Li Jingxuan said: "Your Majesty doesn't know, this Huang Tongcai came to Yanshi County, and what he brought was not mining, but he carried more than a dozen huge wooden boxes.

The minister has seen a lot of corrupt officials over the years, and he has also dealt with a lot of corrupt officials, and it is the first time that he has seen a blatant, bold and bold person like Huang Tong. ”

Li Zhi's eyes widened in disbelief and said, "Really? ”

Li Jingxuan said: "Huang Tong's family is about to arrive, Your Majesty only needs to send someone to inquire about it, and you will naturally know whether what the minister said is true or false." ”

Li Zhi glanced at Ruichun, and Ruichun left immediately.

Li Jingxuan hesitated for a moment, and decided to take the road they were going to take in Yunchu for them, so he re-saluted and said: "Your Majesty has consciously accumulated talents since the fourth year of Yonghui, and the minister thinks that these people are favored by Your Majesty, and they are likely to have been spoiled, and they need to be considered in the long run. ”

Li Zhi sneered and said, "You can see my affairs clearly. ”

Li Jingxuan sighed and said: "Your Majesty, a student, it is not natural for him to change his identity from a scholar to an official, and it takes a long time to transform the talents in the womb of these people into the talents needed by His Majesty to govern the country.

There is a reason why most of the people we have taken are noble and wealthy children since they were young, and these people have been exposed to the actions of their fathers and brothers who are officials in the family since they were young, and they have basically known how to be officials.

The children of the poor are different, their cognition of officials comes from books, and even from folklore, some of them have high aspirations, after being hired by His Majesty as officials, they want to make a career for the country and the people, and finally be able to occupy a high position, share worries for Your Majesty, and solve problems for the people.

However, the reason why more children of poor families study hard is just a few taels of broken silver, in order to make a fortune, and the minister thinks that His Majesty should distinguish between these two kinds of people, and it is also good to use the materials. ”

Li Zhi looked at Li Jingxuan and said, "Who is the former?" ”

Li Jingxuan gritted his teeth and said, "Liu Renliang." ”

Li Zhi laughed when he heard this: "It's a little interesting, it's a bit of a foreign move that doesn't avoid revenge." ”

Then he asked, "Who do you think is more suitable to be the county magistrate of Yanshi County?" ”

Li Jingxuan gritted his teeth and said: "Dog Zuo Yu Lin Lang Li Sichong is very suitable to serve as the county magistrate of Yanshi County. ”

Li Zhi nodded and said, "This is another internal move that does not avoid relatives?" ”

Li Jingxuan said: "If someone else is the county commander of Yanshi County, no matter who it is, the minister is not at ease, Yanshi County is the beginning of His Majesty's eastern tour, in fact, the best candidate is Weichen, but unfortunately Weichen now needs to serve by His Majesty's side, and he can't govern Yanshi County by his own body, so there are three reasons why the minister risked disapproval to recommend Li Sichong.

First, Li Sichong is the son of the minister, he is stable in nature, not arrogant, always seeking stability, truth-seeking, not aggressive, after the great change in Yanshi County, what is needed is peace, not another big change, this is the first thought of Li Sichong recommended by the minister.

Second, after the great changes in Yanshi County, the county is still unstable, at this time, if a civil official is sent to serve as the county commander, once there is a change, when it is necessary to use force, Li Sichong is a military position, and he can calm the trouble with a knife.

Third, since His Majesty's Eastern Tour, the ministers have been thinking about how to do more things with the help of the power of His Majesty's Eastern Tour.

There are Weichen who continue to teach Li Sichong from a distance with letters, and he will definitely not disappoint His Majesty. ”

Hearing this, Li Zhi looked at Li Jingxuan suspiciously and said, "It stands to reason that Yun Chu and Gentle are the best candidates. ”

Li Jingxuan smiled: "It's still the same sentence, kill chickens with a knife." ”

Li Zhi said: "Are you willing to guarantor for Li Sichong? ”

Li Jingxuan said: "The minister is willing to guarantee Li Sichong, if Li Sichong is guilty of one crime in office, the minister is willing to bear the second!" ”

Li Zhi frowned and said, "Isn't it ten times?" ”

Li Jingxuan said: "When the sky does not fulfill people's wishes, they drink cold water and stuff their teeth, and there are a total of thirty-nine people in Weichen, and they can't afford to gamble." ”

Li Zhidao: "If you kill Huang Tong, then use your son Li Sichong to fill it, your son is not enough to fill the pit, so use you Li Jingxuan to fill it, in short, I want a vigorous Yanshi County, not a dull Yanshi County, you should know the difference between the two." ”

Li Jingxuan said with a smile: "Your Majesty's investigation results have not yet arrived, so I believe Weichen's words, and the minister is deeply frightened." ”

Li Zhi sighed and said: "Yun Chu said that Huang Tong was stupid and unavailable, and gently said that Huang Tong was a pig sent by me to guard the portal, and you said that Huang Tong's mind was not on governing Yanshi County.

In any case, I am willing to believe the words of the three of you.

Go, take your son, and in an hour, he will receive his will and go to Yanshi County to take office. ”

Li Jingxuan bowed to the ground, he did not continue to say flattering words with a heavy heart, he really lacked some confidence in whether Li Sichong could govern Yanshi County, he used to want to use Huang Tong as a target, let Li Sichong hide behind, but now it seems that it can't be done, just like the emperor said, if Yanshi County is well governed, he may go further, Yanshi County is badly governed, and their father and son are to blame.

After all, Li Zhi still did not pursue Li Jingxuan's murder outside the palace.

It's not that he believes what Li Jingxuan said, but that he has understood Li Jingxuan's careful thinking, he doesn't shoot his courtiers for ambition, but is afraid that his courtiers will have no desires and no desires like Yun Chu.

As long as the courtier has ambition, he can use the courtier's ambition to control the courtier for a lifetime, and as for the little caution that appears in the middle, it is harmless in Li Zhi's opinion.

Since the death of his father and mother, Li Zhi no longer believes that there will be people in this world who will unconditionally think about him and be good for him.

In the evening, Ruichun returned.

Li Zhi and the giant bear have been sitting in the main hall for a long time, during which he refused the prince's request to see him, and also refused the dinner sent by the queen, but he is sad to miss his parents and the little son who died young. (Princess Jinyang)

The palace people lit the candles, and the sad emperor Li Zhi came out of his sadness, the light shone on his face, and he was calm like a wooden man without joy or sorrow.

"Huang Tong is a stupid person, no doubt!"

"Well, I already know this, how did Yun Chu judge that Huang Tong was a stupid person?"

"Yun Chu only saw Huang Tong's eyes, and he didn't say a word in the middle, but, for Huang Tong's sake, Yun Chu met Huang Tong's chief examiner Li Yifu in Zhengzhou, Li Yifu didn't say anything about his bribery to admit Huang Tong, and later after being punished by Zhou Xing, he confessed to accepting bribes and recruiting Huang Tong as a jinshi."

"Other than that, Li Yifu didn't say anything else?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhou Xing has detailed interrogation documents, and there is nothing else."

Li Zhi nodded, and then said: "Li Yifu is still useful, and he can't die for the time being, so cut off his tongue, abolish his limbs, and only save his life." ”

Ruichun nodded and took the order, and Li Zhi said again: "Huang Tong, what did you find out?" ”

Ruichun was embarrassed and said: "At present, I only know that the prince doesn't know anything about Huang Tong's appointment as the county magistrate of Yanshi County, but His Royal Highness Li Xian, the king of Yong, has met with the prince Zuo Chunfang Zanshan Luo Yuanhong a few times.

And Huang Tong is the Huang Tong recommended by Luo Yuanhong for His Majesty. ”

Li Zhi said with a pale face: "Take Luo Yuanhong to ask for the guilt." ”

Ruichun was embarrassed and said: "After Luo Yuanhong heard that Li Shilang beheaded Huang Tong, he immediately committed suicide by taking poison. ”

Li Zhi clicked his mouth and said; "Look, who said that Huang Tong is a fool, isn't it useful?"

Ruichun didn't understand what the emperor was referring to, so he listened to the emperor: "During this period of time, the prince has been in love with the crown princess in his line, and even the palace newspaper that he likes on weekdays, he doesn't care much about it, what do you say about Li Xian, this child, don't know how to avoid suspicion?"

Even the prince Zuo Chunfang has to intervene, is he itching his skin?

It seems that the prince likes to beat him, not that the prince is unkind, but there are also his problems.

Go and tell the queen that King Yong should be strictly controlled on weekdays. ”

Ruichun hesitated for a moment and said: "Yong Wang Xian is in Bianzhou, and there are endless guests all day long. ”

Li Zhi glanced up at Ruichun and said, "Who are the people who see Li Xian?" ”

Ruichun said: "Bianzhou local squires, scholars, and wealthy businessmen. ”

Li Zhi muttered to himself when he heard this: "His brother can see things clearly, Yong Wangxian can't even see it, what are the Taifu and guests around him eating?" ”

Ruichun said: "King Yong is only close to Helan Min now. ”

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment and waved his hand, then let Ruichun go down, and he took the giant bear to the window and beat the windowsill with his fist and said: "If you do this, how can you live well, your mother will never forget you before she dies...... Could it be that as the queen said, dragons and phoenixes can only give birth to dragon species, and pheasants can only give birth to ......"

When Li Hong got off Pei Wanying, his face was flushed, his breath was short, he turned over and fell on the bed and said to Pei Wanying dissatisfiedly: "Why is there still no movement?" ”

Pei Wanying smiled with difficulty: "The prince still needs to work hard." ”

I saw my old friends, there were a lot of dishes, but unfortunately, there were not many people who drank alcohol, I didn't see them for three years, I was already a thing, I participated in the reading salon, I couldn't see a few familiar faces, I lost fifty pounds in the blood-red hospital, and a large number of high-rollers in the past can only drink water now, the ...... of the past Forget it, it's hard to say it, in short, it's just that there are talented people in the country, only Xiao 2 is still holding on, and there is a chapter, which will be delivered immediately.
