Chapter 125: The Dark Tide in the Court (3)

"Changxi, from today onwards, Gu Ben will appoint you as the supervisor of the clan court, responsible for overseeing all related matters of the large and small clans in my Tunan!" Liu Changxi thought for a moment before finally speaking. In addition, the mother of the three princes, Yan, was immediately released from the cold palace and canonized as Concubine Yun. ”

Although he was not directly canonized as a prince at one time, the restoration of the concubine position of the mother of the three princes this time is already a strong signal released by Liu Dingrui, and I am afraid that it will be a matter of time before the crown prince is crowned.

What's more, Liu Changxi sat in the position of the supervisor of the clan court, which was a huge boost for the three princes who did not have enough foundation.

The clan house, that is, the superior of the Ten Masters and the Council of Elders. The Ten Jie Guild is participated by the patriarchs of the ten top clans, and is responsible for managing the top-level power of the 4,800 clans of Tu Nan Kingdom, while the Council of Elders is jointly served by the honorary elders of the three upper clans, responsible for the supervision of the Ten Jie Guild.

And sitting on the supervisor of the clan court is equivalent to firmly grasping the clan power of the Tunan Kingdom in his hands. Everyone knows that this is a terrible force that cannot be lost to any force. After all, there are many masters in the clan, and there are many eyeliners, and these may be developed into their own forces by the three princes.

For many years, this position was held by the crown prince, who went to the clan court to establish good relations with the clan before ascending to the throne to become the next emperor.

And because Tu Nanguo has not canonized the crown prince for a long time, this position has been vacant, and it has been temporarily taken care of by Chen Shaojie, the left minister, and Li Mu, the right minister, all these years.

And Liu Dingrui's move also means that he is ready to start weakening the power of Chen Shaojie's lineage.

"Changxi, are you still satisfied with this reward?" Liu Dingrui said with a smile, looking forward to Liu Changxi's reaction.

"Erchen thanks to His Majesty the Emperor for his gift!" Liu Changxi knelt down again, "However, Erchen is brave and still has one thing to ask for!"

"You say. Liu Dingrui was a little puzzled, the reward he gave was rich enough, is there anything Liu Changxi is not satisfied with?

"Father, the sons and daughters implore the father to thoroughly investigate the truth of the murder of Jiang Tianqing, the city lord of Wucheng!" Liu Changxi bowed his head and said loudly.

And the hundred officials in the audience were also in an uproar, and the two prime ministers on Liu Changxi's left and right also changed their expressions and were thoughtful.

"Well, it's true that this matter hasn't been completely solved yet, but why do you care so much?" asked Liu Dingrui.

"Back to my father, Wucheng is an important town in Tunan, the assassination of the city lord is detrimental to the country, the matter is big, and it must be revealed, but now it is only confirmed that Yu Wenxuan is not the person who committed the assassination, the real culprit has not yet been identified, and the whole world must not agree. ”

"Okay, you're right, since you have this heart, then Lone will let the dark department help you, and you will investigate this matter thoroughly. Liu Dingrui nodded.

"Father Xie. ”

"If it's okay, let's disperse, I'm a little tired. Liu Dingrui stood up tremblingly under the support of Gonggong Hong and left the hall, and the civil and military officials in the audience also chatted enthusiastically again, and the content of the discussion was nothing more than about the rise of the three princes this time. Some people are fast, some people hate, and the real gains and losses have not yet appeared.

"Congratulations to the Third Prince. Chen Shaojie, the left minister, turned around for the first time, bowed to Liu Changxi and said, "The third prince is tired of traveling and driving, and he should be a little tired at this time-->>."

In his spare time another day, the old minister will visit the door to discuss the handover of the supervisors of the clan court with the three princes. After that, before Liu Changxi could speak, he was ready to leave.

"Prime Minister Zuo, please stay," Liu Changxi interrupted.

"Oh, does the third prince have anything else to do with the old minister?"

"It's not a big deal, but when I was ordered to thoroughly investigate the murder of Jiang Tianqing, I am afraid that I will have to bother Zuo Xiang a lot, say hello in advance, and hope that Zuo Xiang will forgive me. ”

"Don't worry, if you have any needs, you can come to the old minister at any time. ”

The two smiled at each other and saluted each other.

When the two princes and most of the officials had left, Li Mu, the right minister, stood up and came to Liu Changxi's side. Both of them stared into the distance outside the main hall, and their hands were behind their backs, as if they were thinking about something.

"You're in a bit of a hurry. Li Mu was the first to speak, "With Chen Shaojie's methods and scheming, even if there is any evidence left, when you start investigating the case, I'm afraid it will be dealt with cleanly." ”

"Master Li Mu, Lone has never had the luxury of hoping to find out the exposed feet of this old fox in this matter, you are too worried. Liu Changxi chuckled.

"In that case, there is no need for you to say those words in the main hall, nothing will change except to exacerbate Chen Shaojie's defense and hostility towards you. Li Mu's tone was different from that of the main hall, much lower, obviously with a lot of worries in his heart, "Also, you are not a prince yet, you are not qualified to call yourself lonely, you have to be careful, don't be made a fuss by someone with a heart." ”

"Master Li Mu, are you a caring person?"

"We don't have to talk to each other like that. ”

"That's right, when my mother was sent to the cold palace, you were the only one in the entire court who took good care of me, and since then I have known that Master Li Mu will not harm me. ”

"Your mother is kind to me, I am just repaying her favor, after today, your mother is finally able to see the light of day, and it is not in vain our efforts and waiting for the past 20 years. ”

"This is just the beginning, Master Li Mu. The position of the supervisor of the clan court is very deep, and my father pushed me up today, on the one hand, it is a recognition and reward for me, and I am afraid that on the other hand, it is also a test for me. If I can't even keep this position, naturally I don't need to say anything about the position of prince. ”

"Since you know it very well in your heart, why did Fang Cai deliberately stimulate Chen Shaojie?"

"Even if I don't say those words and don't ask to investigate that case, does Master Li Mu think that Chen Shaojie won't come to me for trouble?" Liu Changxi said with a smile, "We all know very well that Chen Shaojie is not satisfied with standing behind the second emperor brother, his greed is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. And my statement today is just to remind him, don't think that no one is afraid of him Chen Shaojie, at least I am not afraid, what means is there, he just let the horse come. ”

Li Mu turned his head to stare at Liu Changxi, although time had passed, the eyes of the third prince were still as clear and pure as when he first met him. Li Mu has always believed that the imperial court is a big dye vat, and none of the princes soaked in it can survive being poisoned by various conspiracies, but the prince in front of him seems to have overturned this conclusion.

Out of the mud without staining is perhaps the best description of him.
