When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 201 Li Xiuzhu calculated the emperor, the judgment of the Su family

"There is a book to play, and there is no book to retreat."

Well, familiar opening remarks, it would be embarrassing if I didn't have a book today.

Before Li Xiuzhu opened his mouth, Sun Jingyang, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there was a small disturbance during the autumn hunting the day before yesterday. Fortunately, the champion Marquis Li Xiuzhu put down the rebellion, and my minister Sun Jingyang invites the champion Marquis to be the Duke of the country."

At this time, Song Lian who was on the side hurriedly stood up.

"I object, one duke of the state is the highest achievement of an official in all dynasties. If the champion marquis is made duke of the state today, wouldn't there be no reward in the future?"

"You must know that the champion Hou is only this year."

At this time, another minister came out.

"I object to Master Song's statement that if meritorious service depends on age, who would be willing to serve the court?"

As soon as he finished speaking, another person stepped forward.

"I support Master Song for two reasons. One is that I think this meritorious service is not enough for the Duke, and the other is that young people should work hard and calm down."

"..."

"..."

Following the speeches of the adults, Li Xiuzhu, the person involved, remained calm, and couldn't help being a little funny looking at the noisy 'theater' like a vegetable market.

Especially looking at Li Kuo who is pretending above, it is even more funny to add three levels.

Really, wouldn't it be good to end this farce quickly? Who is it for? Everyone understands it.

As if hearing Li Xiuzhu's heartfelt voice, Li Kuo finally decided to speak.

He gestured to Wang Defa first, and Wang Defa instantly understood Li Kuo's meaning.

"quiet!"

Not to mention, the voice was quite loud this time, and it contained a little bit of internal energy. Although it was not much, it was enough for the civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty to hear.

Li Kuo saw that the place was quiet, and then he said: "Since everyone can't discuss anything, why not ask our son-in-law."

He looked at Li Xiuzhu and continued: "My son-in-law, I don't know what kind of reward you want?"

In Li Kuo's view, as long as he is a smart person, he will retreat and let himself look at the rewards. At that time, he can push the boat along the way, give some rewards, and draw a big cake for Li Xiuzhu to practice again.

But he didn't expect Li Xiuzhu to really dare to ask for a reward, and the reward he asked for was so special.

"Here, can I mention it myself? Although what I want has nothing to do with official positions, it's really hard for me to ask."

Li Kuo didn't expect that Li Xiuzhu would dare to ask for it, but when he heard that it had nothing to do with his official position, he immediately guessed that Li Xiuzhu planned to retire bravely.

This is in line with his own interests, Li Kuo smiled immediately.

Yes, he is not greedy for military power, nor greedy for power, he is a man who knows how to advance and retreat.

Thinking about Li Xiuzhu's greed and lust, he seemed to have guessed what Li Xiuzhu wanted, nothing more than women and money.

Is he missing these things now?
Li Kuo, who is rich and powerful and has the special right to recruit beautiful women in the world, spoke up.

"Your son-in-law, you can mention it. Maybe it's not easy for me to give you the official position directly, but for the rest, I will allow it."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard the words, you drilled yourself into the pit yourself.

Li Xiuzhu was also not polite, and said directly: "That's right, I was acquainted with Miss Su Taifu's family before, and everyone knows about it."

Li Xiuzhu made a start, and the smart people among the officials guessed it, even Li Kuo guessed it, and all of them looked weird for a while.

Li Kuo even frowned.

Is this bastard trying to exonerate Taifu Su's family?Do you know what kind of crime that is?How dare he.

At this moment, even Fu Wenhan frowned. He didn't expect Li Xiuzhu to be so brave.

If you want to retreat bravely in a rapid flow, this is not the way to retreat.

"Then by accident, Miss Su and I made a private decision for life."

"But Ms. Su's mother forcibly took her away without her permission."

"Unexpectedly, at this time, Taifu Su didn't think about it, his brain was kicked by a donkey, and he committed a great treason."

"I know that this little credit is not enough to exonerate Mrs. Su, but I have the courage to beg Your Majesty to punish only the culprit and spare my little lover's life."

For a while, all the officials stopped talking, and their eyes were a little strange.

Everyone knew that Su Wei was the scapegoat, who was supposed to punish the Nine Clans according to the law.

But this majesty has already been swayed by Li Xiuzhu and made a promise, which is also true.

They really haven't seen many people who dare to trick the emperor, especially because of private matters.

Li Kuo also knew that he was being tricked, but after thinking about it, his face looked better.

Grand Tutor Su Wei cannot be let go, he must be a scapegoat for the crown prince.

But his family has nothing to do with it. If the backbone of the family is gone, that means the spine is broken, so there is nothing to fear.

And I heard that Su Can is ignorant and incompetent, and he is a second-generation ancestor.

However, he still said with a little dissatisfaction: "You really have created a problem for me."

"However, I am the king of a country, and I promise you well, so I can't go back on my word."

"But you're planning on me, so why should there be a punishment, or else everyone won't follow suit?"

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this.

"It should be, it should be."

"Do you think this is okay? Twenty sticks, or a fine."

Seeing Li Xiuzhu being so upbeat, Li Kuo smiled.

"It hurts you, but my Liuli baby still hates me as a father."

"Let's fine you a year's salary. In addition, the Su family can be exonerated for capital crimes, but they still have to be punished for living crimes."

"Purpose!"

The eunuch Bingbi on the side hurriedly prepared, and Li Kuo's voice sounded at the next breath.

"Teacher Su Wei listened to the slander and intended to assassinate him during the autumn hunting operation."

"However, the Taifu came to his senses at the last moment, and he is the prince's teacher again, so the prince begged for mercy."

"Teacher Su Wei will be executed in three days, and his family members will be demoted to common people, and they will never be hired."

Li Xiuzhu shouted when he heard this.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

With Li Xiuzhu taking the lead, a voice of "Thank you for your kindness" rang out from below.

This is the sorrow of the weak. Not only do you have to take the blame, but if they kill you, you have to thank them for not killing them all.

Li Xiuzhu lowered his head, and the indisputable thoughts in his heart completely dissipated.

When necessary, the emperor will sit on the throne even if he doesn't want to.

Not for anything else, just to protect the people you want to protect.

First of all, there are private guards. Master Hou can have 500 private guards. Li Xiuzhu doesn't plan to recruit all of them, but [-] people are necessary.

Two hundred strong guards, and the remaining 300 he plans to recruit orphans.

In the past two years, the orphans are the same as the ones who don’t need money. The other party is grateful for the food. The 300 people are very easy to arrange.

Two hundred men and one hundred women, only martial arts geniuses.

The second is the secret passage. The secret passage must be dug out as soon as possible, and it must be directly outside the city to facilitate leaving the city and escaping.

The last is the eyeliner. The emperor has many eyes and ears, but he can't be blind.

Among the orphans, those who are not suitable to become warriors are released to become eyeliners.

What their orphans ask for is just a bite to eat. As long as they donate food every day, they can raise a team of little beggars all over the city.

It has a good reputation and will not arouse suspicion.

When these people get older, we can arrange for some masters from all walks of life to learn skills, and then give them a long-term training in various industries.
