Chapter 16 16 A crisis for the Li family
Xuanyuan Xing's imperial eyes swept over the faces of important courtiers one by one. Seeing that they were all cautious in their words and deeds, and did not mean to express their opinions lightly, in the end, his eyes stayed on Li Shen, the head of civil officials.
"Li Aiqing, what do you say?"
"Minister......
Li Shen, who was named, stepped out of the ranks and took a small step forward.
He raised an old face that had been rolling in officialdom for decades and glanced at Xuanyuan Xing on the dragon throne.
I saw that the emperor's eyes were clear like the deep sea under the night, as far as the eye could see, and the undercurrent under the sea surface was surging, confusing, and people couldn't see clearly.
Li Shen sat on the throne step by step, and he can be regarded as a person who knows how to speculate on people's hearts, like a human spirit, but he has lived with Xuanyuan Xingjun and his ministers for so many years, and he has never understood this unfathomable monarch.
Every time he looked at Xuanyuan Xing, it was as if he was shrouded in a thick ink-like shadow, which made people feel a sense of fear and insignificance.
Remembering that Xuanyuan Xing only relied on 10,000 soldiers and horses and seven brothers to lay down the thousands of miles of the Eastern Empire and establish the most powerful empire in the proud continent, it can be seen that the emperor's wrist is sharp, tough, wise, and he is resolute after winning the throne, in charge of power, in the face of national politics and people's livelihood, reform forward, so that the empire has a new look, and now the Eastern Empire is not called a peaceful and prosperous era, but it is the best people's livelihood in the entire continent.
Such a great achievement will definitely be recorded in the history of the proud continent and passed down through the ages.
And Xuanyuan Xing was still waiting for Li Shen's reply.
Li Shen thought about Xuanyuan Xing's grief over the betrayal of King Yong back then, and the petition of all the people now......
"The minister thinks that this matter has made a big fuss, whether it is true or not, but it has attracted the attention of the people, and there is such a movement, and the people's will is the king's heart, presumably someone must have manipulated the overall situation behind it, and the people's swaying is a major crisis in our Eastern Empire. Now, His Majesty should quickly give an order to find out who is behind the scenes, or he can sit down and talk about it and settle the matter. ”
"Hmm...... Sit down...... Let's talk about it, find out what is true and false, and I have the same intention. Then leave this matter to Li Qing's family. ”
“…… Be. ”
Xuanyuan Xing's confession, whether it was on the knife mountain or under the oil vortex, Li Shen did not dare to refuse, although this matter involved Helan Shixiong, the general of the civil and military mansion, his nemesis.
If this matter is done, it can deal a heavy blow to the Wenwu General's Mansion, and even make Helan Shixiong collapse.
But if it doesn't do well, being counterattacked by Helan Shixiong, an old horseman, will also be a crisis for his Li family.
……
The Li family was the first of the eight great families of the Eastern Empire, and the entire imperial city was also full of their spies.
As long as they went all out, inquired a little, and Helan Longxuan deliberately left traces that could be investigated, the Li family quickly found Helan Longxuan, the mastermind.
This time, Li Xiuhan, the son of the Li family, personally came to invite people with the imperial guards.
The world's evaluation of Li Xiuhan is that although this prime minister's son is young but amazingly learned, he was born in a high-ranking family, but he can understand the suffering of the people, and he does not oppress the people like other high-ranking children, but has a compassionate heart.
Li Xiuhan once wrote many policies that benefited the country and the people, and won the common sense of Emperor Xuanyuan Xing, and named him the son.
"This is it, Shizi."
The guards took Li Xiuhan to the small inn where Helan Longxuan lived, in front of the door of the house.
