Liu Ji really wanted to kneel down for Li Yuan, but because of the presence of the emperor, he dared not do so.

Li Er waved his hand in displeasure, and said, "I'm going to end up tonight!"

Liu Jie quickly retreated, and rushed to the official office of the Ministry of War in a hurry.

Seeing Liu Ji's terrified expression, Li Yuan said lightly: "Are you planning to kill all the old man's old ministers, so that you can feel at ease?"

Li Er trembled all over, and his face became extremely gloomy.

Li Chengqian secretly said: "Not good!"

He hurriedly said: "Grandpa Huang, this is your first visit to Daming Palace, how about grandson showing you around?"

Li Yuan glanced at Li Er with a half-smile, greeted the old fellows, and said, "Forget it, the Daming Palace is so extravagantly built, I open my eyes too!"

When they all left, only Li Er was left in the hall.

He sat down slowly with a cold face.

Taking a deep breath, he didn't suppress his anger.

At this time, Empress Changsun walked in.

When the emperor was furious, only she dared to approach.

Except for her, basically who comes and who dies

Seeing the emperor's face, Empress Changsun knew that the Supreme Emperor had found fault again.

"Your Majesty, what the Supreme Emperor said is not unreasonable. Nowadays, everyone in the court is frightened. Many old ministers intend to serve as officials, but they dare not be dismissed. You may as well relax and give them a way out."

Li Er raised his head and said, "Guanyin maidservant, do you also think I'm wrong?"

Empress Changsun smiled faintly, and said: "I feel that Liu Baishang's strategy of distributing military tickets may not be a temptation for you."

Li Er was taken aback.

"how to say?"

"Liu Bai is a sensible person. He never wants to confront you head-on. Even if there is a conflict, he can defuse it skillfully by laughing and cursing. But why did you leave Chang'an? Have you really thought about it? ?”

Li Er shook his head and said, "Liu Bai just wants to earn more money."

"The Liu family's money can't be spent in ten lifetimes. Why should he care about the place in the south of the Yangtze River?"

"You mean, Liu Bai is avoiding me?"

Empress Changsun did not answer immediately.

Instead, he walked closer, pressed his hands on Li Er's temples, rubbed them lightly, and then spoke.

"Liu Bai always said that if the ancestors earn more money, even if the descendants are all prodigal sons, they will be able to prosper for a few more years. This kind of saying is not bad for the royal family. You are paving the way for the foundation of eternity, but the road is being paved too quickly. , it’s not necessarily safe, just like Liu Bai, it’s impossible to plunder Tang Dynasty and turn it all into his Liu family’s property, but to actively explore the south, and even foreign countries.”

Li Er frowned and fell into deep thought.

He understood what Empress Changsun said.

Meaning, he was too eager.

He was eager to put all the power in the hands of the emperor.

This should have been a feat that could only be accomplished by generations.

"You have read countless old things from the previous Sui Dynasty. Isn't Yang Guang's lesson enough?"

Li Er suddenly opened his eyes wide.

He always believed that Yang Guang was a very good emperor.

It's a pity that he was too urgent and wanted to accomplish the goal that Qianqiu had never achieved in just a dozen years.

Could it be that he also followed Yang Guang's old path?

It seemed that this was indeed the case. Unknowingly, he had forced the civil and military forces of the whole court to the opposite of himself.

Empress Changsun didn't want to continue talking.

She firmly believes that her husband is an extremely intelligent person.

Some words, a little bit is enough.

After a while, Li Er let out a long cry.

"Guanyin maidservant, what you said is reasonable. I was indeed too anxious. When I saw Liu Bai's memoir, I felt strange. What he wrote to me was never carefully thought out. I don’t know how long it took him to write that memorial, but he quoted every sentence from the scriptures.”

Li Er shook his head and smiled wryly.

"It seems that he is indeed using this method to test Yuzhen. If I have all the power and don't care about the thoughts of the people below, I am afraid that he can't even stay in the south of the Yangtze River. The strategy of the military ticket needs to be carefully considered. You Let Liu Jin call Liu Ji back, and invite Fang Qing and the others into the palace!"

Chapter 1510 Next year, the old man will let you enter the three provinces

The people Li Er wanted to find were basically in the Chang'an county government.

After Zhao Pu came back from the Wuchang County Government, he plunged into endless government affairs.

He is probably the only one who can keep a group of bigwigs out.

If Wang Shouren is the smartest member of the Liu family, then Zhao Pu is the most stubborn member of the Liu family.

No one can change what he looks for.

If it is said that being diligent and caring for the people is a virtue, then he is undoubtedly the one who has brought this virtue to the fullest.

It is precisely because of this that Li Er was relieved to hand over the position of Chang'an county magistrate to him.

Chang'an County is no better than other places.

From the grade, it is enough to reflect its importance.

For other county magistrates, according to the size of the county, the highest is from the sixth rank, and the lowest is from the seventh rank.

In the whole world, only the county magistrates of Chang'an, Wannian, Jinyang, etc., are fifth-rank officials.

Don't underestimate the fifth grade.

Because among the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the highest level is only from the second rank.

There is only one official second rank, and that is Liu Bai's false title of Zhongshu Ling.

Everyone knows that Zhongshu Ling is just a decoration.

Although Wang Jue is comparable to first-grade, it doesn't have much gold content.

Moreover, the fifth rank of Chang'an county magistrate is far from comparable to other fifth ranks.

It can be seen from the power and the path of promotion.

The power of the county magistrate of Chang'an is boundless. In the area under his jurisdiction, the power is comparable to that of a great governor!

The promotion path is even more impressive.

The previous magistrate of Chang'an County has now become the Minister of Zhongshu.

That's the prime minister's candidate!

If it can be changed, many fourth-rank officials are willing to become Chang'an county magistrate.

However, the greater the power, the greater the corresponding errands.

A few days ago, I just took care of a man who rode a horse on the street.

I heard that he is still a servant of a certain princess.

Without even thinking about it, Zhao Pu sentenced that guy to exile!

As a result, the princess with a foolish mind went straight to the Chang'an county government office to find fault and fight.

Is Zhao Pu someone who is willing to bow his head?

Resisting the pressure, he personally drove out all the people from the princess mansion.

So much busier now.

Looking at the thick impeachment papers on the table, Zhao Pu's forehead bulged with veins.

"Moths! They're all moths!"

He took out a small notebook from the drawer, and wrote down all the names of the people who impeached him!

Not so narrow-minded.

It's because he thinks that the officials are honest and honest, and the group of people entrusted by the princess to impeach him are definitely not good things!

Why didn't this group of idiots ever think that the people from the three provinces wouldn't let themselves know in advance after reading these excerpts?

The county magistrate of Chang'an is the most noble among the nobles, and the next step is to enter the Zhongshu or the Yushitai.

Since Chang'an became the capital, has there been any Chang'an county magistrate who has been impeached?

Even if these papers were presented to the emperor, as long as they were not too serious a crime, the emperor would resell them and send them over!

What's more, the things on the notebook are completely unnecessary!

"Zeping, the old man has come to bother you!"

An old voice sounded from outside the door.

Zhao Pu sighed, stood up, cupped his hands and said, "Duke Zheng!"

It was Wei Zheng who came here!

Speaking of it, Wei Zheng was a lone minister, and he basically didn't deal with others except for normal government affairs.

Only Zhao Pu in Chang'an County is very suitable for him.

I don't know how a kind person popped out of the haunted house of the Liu family

On Wei Zheng's face, there was a smile that was hard for others to see.

After walking in, he bowed his hands and returned the salute.

"Just now I saw that Dai Xiang and Fang Xiang are also there, why don't you go and entertain one or two?"

Zhao Pu said with a stinky face, "I still have a lot of government affairs to deal with, how can I have time to entertain guests?"

Wei Zheng sat down and said with a smile, "You are still young, and you will eventually have to deal with many people. If you lose your reputation, you will inevitably make enemies in the court in the future."

Zhao Pu also sat down.

"Isn't it the same for Zheng Gong?"

Wei Zheng laughed loudly, and said: "How can you compare with the old man, the old man is about to reach his sixtieth year, and after a while, he should be retired. He has been a lonely minister all his life, and the pain in his heart can only be felt by himself. Know."

As he spoke, he picked up the memorial on the table.

"How are you going to deal with them?"

These memorials were given to Zhao Pu by him.

The three provinces have the right to dismiss the memorial, and he, the top leader, has the right to review it.

As long as it doesn't involve the foundation of the country, he can make the decision, and there is no need to send the memorial to the emperor at all.

"Of course it will be handed over to Yushitai and punished according to the law!"

Wei Zheng nodded, and said, "Among all the princesses, only Princess Gaomi has nothing to do with your Liu family, so it doesn't matter if you tear your face apart."

Zhao Pu was a little unhappy.

"Why did Mr. Zheng say such a thing? The lower officials never commit corruption or pervert the law!"

"It's the old man who made a slip of the tongue, so don't be stingy."

Wei Zheng laughed, it was rare for someone to apologize.

"Duke Zheng's visit is probably related to the Supreme Emperor"

Zhao Pu also saw Wei Zheng's intentions.

Although Wei Zheng always came, but every time he talked about political affairs, or poetry and classics, when did you see him talking about family matters?

Wei Zheng nodded slightly, and said: "Master Dai and the others used your name to invite the Supreme Emperor into the palace, and His Majesty asked Liu Ji to calculate the grain. There is a huge loophole in this matter."

Zhao Pu pondered for a moment, and said: "Although the military ticket is a hasty policy, it is beneficial to the country and the people. Besides, it will be invalidated sooner or later. I think that there is no reason for anyone to stop it! Besides, the relationship between His Majesty and the Supreme Emperor is subtle. It might be a good opportunity to fix this one or two."

"The loophole that the old man said is not here."
