Summer Palace.

Morning.

Li Si was wearing a black robe, his face was calm, and he stood indifferently at the head of the civil officials on the right.

And Xiao Qian, the left minister, has disappeared in the court since Li Xiaoyao and others came back, and no one knows where he went.

The head of the generals is the secretary of the military department, and there are several military generals in the DPRK and China.

In the hall, there are mostly civil officials, and there are many fresh faces among them, most of them are Legalist disciples under Li Si, and some are people from various families and sects in Daxia.

For example, Fu Yanzai and others from the three major families in southern Hunan are among them.

It's just that at this moment, everyone's faces are solemn, looking at Li Si, who is the head of the civil official, with a little respect in his eyes.

These days, Li Si has won the trust of King Xia, led the government, and carried out reforms, in less than half a month, the entire court has taken on a new look.

Those who are still standing in the court now are all capable or loyal to Great Xia.

The original phenomenon of miasma, private party henchmen and intrigue is no longer there, at least no one dares to do so on the surface, and everyone is conscientious and serious in their duties at the moment.

And all of this stems from this right minister!

And in just a few days, Li Si has already won a reputation of "iron-faced selflessness and unforgiving law".

Because of this work, there is really no room for a grain of sand in his eyes, except for His Majesty, he treats anyone equally, as long as he violates the law, he will be punished, killed, and dismissed, and there will be no mercy.

Based on this, the ministers of the DPRK and China can be said to be both respectful and afraid of him, and at this time they probably understand why His Majesty values Li Si so much.

Powerful, powerful, courageous, and iron-faced and selfless, with iron-blooded means, in exchange for any dynasty, such a person will lead a hundred officials.

This person is a person, which can be said to be the luck of Great Xia, but it is also the suffering of hundreds of officials.

But now that the prestige of Daxia is in full swing, countless people have broken their heads and want to drill into it, but they don't see it, and even the people of the family and sect who originally respected the court have sent people into the court.

Therefore, for this right minister, although the officials are in awe, they can only try to do things seriously and not violate the law, so as not to be caught by his pigtails.

Above the court, there was silence.

Soon, Qin Wuxian was wearing a black dragon robe and a crown on his head, and strode over, he sat on the dragon chair and glanced at the ministers.

"This morning, I announced a few things!"

The officials bowed down one after another, their faces were restrained, and they were silent.

Since he was appointed prime minister, Qin Wuxian has not been in the early dynasty, and all affairs in the court and China have been handed over to Li Si and Xiao Yan to take care of.

Even if it was some important recitals, it was conveyed by Li Si on his behalf, and after Qin Wuxian reviewed it, it was sent to the officials, and the ministers couldn't even see Qin Wuxian's face.

And today's sudden announcement of the early dynasty must be something important.

Therefore, none of the ministers dared to wander, and they all listened carefully.

Qin Wuxian glanced at the atmosphere of the court, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

Let Li Si be the prime minister, it is really the most correct thing, and now above the court, there is no longer the same smoky miasma as before, which is extremely good!

Moistening his throat, Qin Wuxian said majestically: "I think you have all heard about the events of the past few days, I ordered the local government to reform the city lord system for the better development of Great Xia, but it was boycotted by more than two-thirds of the local government, I don't know what you Aiqing think about this matter?"

Hearing this, the ministers' faces changed slightly.

Since ancient times, King Xia's decision-making has generally consulted the ministers and let the ministers give their opinions before they are implemented, but Qin Wuxian implemented the county system without consulting the hundred officials, and now it has been boycotted by officials from all over the country.

If in the past, he would definitely be criticized by the ministers, but now this Xia King is different from the previous Xia kings, his arbitrariness and arbitrariness, but he is extremely domineering in his peaceful temperament.

Hearing Qin Wuxian's words at this time, the hundred officials didn't know what Qin Wuxian meant, and no one dared to speak for a while, and they were all silent.

At this moment, a figure suddenly stood out of the queue and said in a loud voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty has done this out of proportion. ”

Above the court, there was a sudden silence.

Is this an accusation on the spot that His Majesty did something wrong?

Everyone looked shocked and looked at the person who spoke, only to see that this person was Li Weizhong, a scholar of the cabinet of the DPRK and the Central People's Republic of China!

In addition to the left and right ministers, this cabinet scholar also has a pivotal position in the court, and is a veteran of the three dynasties, and the tenth Xia King was already an official in the court when he was alive.

The most important thing is that when the first king died and Dongfang Haoran and Nangong Aotian rebelled, Li Weizhong was on Qin Wuxian's side, and he was a solid supporter of the Qin royal family!

But the ministers didn't understand why Li Weizhong would stand up and accuse Qin Wuxian at this time.

On the dragon chair, Qin Wuxian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he said lightly, "What objections does Master Li have?"

Li Weizhong's hair was gray, his face was fearless, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of Great Xia, your Majesty should consult with hundreds of officials on all major affairs of the court, and only then can it be implemented without harming the interests of Great Xia, but this matter has not been discussed by His Majesty in the court, which has led to the joint protest of the local government now, and if you are not careful, it will cause civil strife again, and this matter obviously conflicts with the interests of my Great Xia, so the old minister believes that Your Majesty has done something wrong and violated the law of the court!"

Law?

The hundred officials looked at each other, and glanced at Li Si, who was the head of the civil officials, with a different color in his eyes.

The current law of Great Xia was revised and implemented by Li Si, and the decision of King Xia was related to the survival of the country, so King Xia's decision should be discussed with the hundred officials and placed in the first article of the law.

Li Si's face was expressionless, as if he didn't see everyone's eyes.

On the dragon chair, the deep meaning in Qin Wuxian's eyes was even stronger, he looked at Li Weizhong, and said lightly: "Then what does Master Li think should be done at this moment?"

Li Weizhong's face was serious, and he arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Your Majesty should withdraw the holy decree of reforming the local city lord system, appease the local officials, and stop the loss in time!"

"Stop your loss in time?"

The corners of Qin Wuxian's mouth lifted slightly, "What Master Li said is right, three days ago, Li Aiqing presented me with a fold and persuaded me to give up reforming the city lord system, but I insisted on going my own way, and it turned out that it was indeed my mistake, so it would lead to a boycott by the local government." ”

Hearing this, the ministers looked strange, Your Majesty admitted that he was wrong?

Li Weizhong's eyes flashed with joy, and he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty knows that you can change your mistakes, it is my luck, and it is still too late to take back your life at this moment, and it will not cause too much loss." ”

"Good!"

Qin Wuxian nodded and said, "Then follow what Master Li said." ”

Li Weizhong arched his hand and said with a smile: "The old minister obeys the order!"

Qin Wuxian waved his hand, and suddenly said, "I still have one more matter, and I need Master Li to solve my doubts." ”

"Your Majesty, please speak, the old minister must know everything. Li Weizhong said respectfully.

Qin Wuxian nodded lightly, "As far as I know, Lord Li has no children under his knees, he is an honest official, and he does not form a party, but why did I receive news recently that Lord Li and Li Tianluo, the city lord of Huaiyang City, seem to have some contact?"

"And over the years, Li Tianluo seems to have contacted Master Li more than once, and every time he contacts, he will send a lot of money to Lord Li, I wonder if Lord Li can solve my doubts?"

Hearing this, Baiguan's face suddenly changed and he looked at Li Weizhong.

Li Weizhong's face also changed quickly, and then he said calmly: "Your Majesty, the old minister and the city lord Li Tianluo of Huaiyang City are good friends, so they occasionally catch up with the old days, as for the money brought by Lord Li Tianluo, it has been returned by the old minister, and the old minister will never dare to violate the law and accept bribes privately!"

"Oh?

Qin Wuxian smiled faintly, and then looked outside the Imperial Palace.

At this time, a figure wearing a brocade guard uniform walked briskly from outside the hall and saluted: "Your Majesty, my subordinates were ordered to go to Scholar Li's house to search, and a total of 600,000 top-grade spirit stones were found, 11 million high-grade spirit stones, 30 million middle-grade spirit stones, and countless low-grade spirit stones and other treasures!"

Wow!

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were suddenly shocked!

And Li Weizhong's face also turned pale in an instant.

Qin Wuxian looked at Li Weizhong, "Master Li, since you don't accept bribes privately, can you tell me where you got these spirit stone treasures from?"

Li Weizhong knelt on the ground with a puff and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty......"

"Huh. ”

Qin Wuxian smiled faintly and said, "Lord Li, I forgot to tell you that I had already issued an order yesterday that all local officials who violate the holy decree, do not cooperate with the handover, and resist the imperial court will be killed!"

"If I guessed correctly, now that Jinyiwei and the Eight Gates have begun to move, I don't know if Li Tianluo, the city lord of Huaiyang City, is involved in this matter, if so, hehe......"

Hearing this, Li Weizhong's face changed dramatically in an instant, his head was raised suddenly, and his face turned pale and said: "Your Majesty! ”

"The old minister is confused for a while, and the crime deserves death, but please spare your majesty, and the old minister is willing to apologize for his sin with death!"

Above the court, there was silence.

Everyone looked at Li Weizhong in the center of the hall.

At this time, everyone understood why this Li Weizhong would openly stand up and accuse Qin Wuxian at this time, that Li Tianluo turned out to be the illegitimate son of this Li Weizhong!

And he pleaded with His Majesty at this time, needless to say, then Li Tianluo must also be unwilling to obey the holy decree and resist being a member of the imperial court!

Ignoring Li Weizhong's pleas for mercy, Qin Wuxian stood up from the dragon chair, looked at Li Weizhong, and said, "I still don't know anything, Li Tianluo has only been the city lord of Huaiyang City for less than ten years, where did he get so many spirit stone treasures?"

Li Weizhong was silent, but his face was a little paler.

Qin Wuxian didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

After a long time, Li Weizhong said in a low voice: "In the past few years, Luo'er and the three major families of Huaiyang City have been very close......"

Hearing this, the hundred officials shook their heads and sighed, they knew that Li Weizhong and Li Tianluo were all finished, and no one could save them!

After Li Weizhong finished speaking, he may also understand the consequences of this matter, and immediately turned pale, looked at Qin Wuxian and said: "Your Majesty, the son is not the fault of the godfather, this matter is the old minister's greed and lack of strict discipline, and I hope that Your Majesty will spare my life, and the old minister will bear all the things!"

Li Weizhong's whole body trembled like a sieve, he knew very well that since Qin Wuxian had already mastered the evidence, he would definitely prepare everything, thinking of the horror of Jinyiwei and the Eight Doors, he couldn't afford to have any thoughts of resisting.

At this moment, he only hoped that Qin Wuxian would be in his old relationship and be able to spare Li Tianluo's life.

The ministers looked at Li Weizhong, who was still beautiful in the hall just now, but at this moment he was so embarrassed and begging for mercy, and they were all silent.

After a long time, Qin Wuxian looked at His Royal Highness Li Weizhong and said lightly: "Okay, I will give you this face because you have served for Great Xia for many years." ”

"You rush to Huaiyang City by yourself at this moment, if you have time, your son can live, I allow your father and son to resign and return to their hometown, if you go late, then your father and son will be buried together in Huaiyang!"

Hearing this, Li Weizhong's face turned happy, and he hurriedly stood up, "Thank you, Your Majesty, Long En!"

After speaking, he quickly turned around and rushed towards the outside of the Imperial Palace.

The ministers looked at Li Weizhong's departing back, and their eyes were complicated.

In the past few days, because of the reform of the city lord system, various local governments have jointly resisted, and many officials in the DPRK and China have also made quite a few statements about this matter.

And this Li Weizhong, although it was for selfishness, was the first to openly stand up and accuse Qin Wuxian, and it happened that his foundation was not right, so he ended up with such consequences.

They knew that Qin Wuxian had already made preparations to deliberately kill chickens and make an example of monkeys, and Li Weizhong was the chicken, so no matter what, Li Weizhong and his illegitimate son would not survive.

This point is very clear in the hearts of the hundred officials, but no one dares to say it.

At this moment, no one dared to give birth to any other careful thoughts, and even if there were, they were quickly snuffed out in the bud.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, at this moment they deeply understand the meaning of this sentence, the cabinet scholar of the official residence, just do it!

If they dare to be careful, they know that it will definitely end up the same as Li Weizhong!

On the dragon chair, Qin Wuxian looked at Li Weizhong's back, his eyes calm.

After a while, he retracted his gaze, looked at the hundred officials with complicated faces below, and said lightly: "Does anyone still have objections to this matter?"

Thinking of Li Weizhong's tragic situation just now, the ministers hurriedly surrendered their hands, "The ministers have no objections." ”

Qin Wuxian nodded, "If anyone has any opinions on my decision, they can talk to me directly, under normal circumstances, I am still very easy to talk to." ”

The corners of the ministers' mouths twitched, and they arched their hands: "The ministers don't dare." ”

Qin Wuxian said lightly: "There is one more thing, I have decided to establish a school palace in each county of my Great Xia, and implement the imperial examination system, all my people in Great Xia can participate in the imperial examination, or practice in the human learning palace, the specific matters, the right minister will discuss with you in detail, I hope you will cooperate with this matter." ”

"Yes!" all the officials bowed their hands in unison.

Qin Wuxian nodded, and was about to speak, but for some reason he suddenly paused.

Then, his mind sank into his mind and glanced at it, then looked at Baiguan and said, "Retreat!"

After saying that, he turned around and left.
