When Hunjun begins to make elixirs

Chapter 387 Party Imprisonment

The reason why Li Shun came to the Privy Council office first when he returned to the palace was to beat these old foxes. According to the secret report from the Internal Affairs Office, the group of people surrounding Bai Linxian, Ding Ao, and Sun Shu gradually expanded, and now there were actually people lining up at the center of the imperial court.

If there is a gang, then things will be biased, unfair, and they will think about themselves. He couldn't tolerate this. The assassination of the imperial envoy was something that could have been avoided. However, in order to protect their own interests, each faction competes for credit and benefits, and turns a deaf ear to the dangers encountered by those who are not their own faction.

Li Shundao said: "I am not afraid of party strife. Hu Minde and his like have nothing to do with party strife, trying to evade the emperor and monopolize power. You don't have that ability yet. But you are in the confidential position of the imperial court, and you must not be biased or selfish in doing things. Sun Shu Regarding the assassination, did the Divine Machine Guard provide information? The Director of Ceremonies also gave instructions, but why did it happen again? And it is exactly the same as the information from the Divine Machine Guard!"

Hua Jingrong said: "Someone was doubtful about the authenticity of the information and went to verify it many times. Then it was a day late to mobilize the local militia. That person has committed suicide out of fear of crime."

Li Shun stretched out a finger: "One day? If Sun Shu's personal guards hadn't resisted desperately and the Shenji Guards had secretly helped, my imperial ministers would have been buried, right?"

"The imperial envoy patrols the sky for hunting. Such a major event, whether it is true or false, should be taken seriously!"

"What does it mean to ask for proof even though the Supervisor of Ceremonies has given instructions? This is deliberate delay! It's a malicious frame-up! Could it be that just because Sun Shu cured a few big shots and offended some people's interests, he can just ignore him?"

"Who is behind this!"

A person behind Hua Jingrong trembled, and Li Shun happened to see him, and he immediately took him out: "Wu Xia, Wu Aiqing, are you the new minister in the cabinet? I see that you are loyal. You have been in the Ministry of War for many years and are proficient in military affairs. You are allowed to serve as Privy Councilor concurrently."

Wu Xia was so frightened that he cried and hurriedly confessed: "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I have betrayed your Majesty's trust."

Li Shun snorted coldly: "When Hu Minde was in charge of the government, you were able to avoid collaborating with him. How come now, you are helping others fight for power and profit?"

Wu Xia ignored the tears and snot on his face and begged for mercy: "I am confused. Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

Li Shun said angrily: "Give me a reason! You can't hide it! You can't hide it from me either!"

Wu Xia said: "I have a nephew who is an official in the local area. Because he was involved in a corruption case, he was dismissed from his official position by Mr. Sun and sent to prison. The old minister was extremely angry for a while, so..."

Li Shun shouted angrily: "Shut up! You dare to be dishonest at this level! You obviously took a few sums of money from him and were afraid of implicating yourself, so you killed him and maliciously framed him. How dare you secretly transfer troops? The first few times the Ministry of War received the manuscript, there was no seal at all, so they came to inquire many times. In the end, you issued the correct manuscript. After that, you even ordered people to kill people and silence them. So, what do you have to say? Can you talk?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide his behavior, Wu Xia said, "Your Majesty, this is not what I meant, it is..."

Li Shun sealed his mouth: "Noisy! Take him down!"

At this time, Zhang Liansheng also hurriedly came with a pair of guards. When he saw that Li Shun had not saluted, he received the order and ordered someone to take him away.

Hua Jingrong watched Wu Xia being taken away, thinking like a mirror, he asked: "Your Majesty is wise, but the old minister is so stupid that he did not notice this person's sinister intentions. Please punish me, Your Majesty."

Li Shun chuckled softly: "Hua Aiqing, sometimes people should not be too smart, and do what they should. I don't want to be a conciliatory person who pretends to be confused. Sometimes, inaction is the biggest sin."

Hua Jingrong said: "Your Majesty, I am old and infirm. I am already busy with government affairs every day, and I am already a little overwhelmed. It is really difficult for me to supervise other things properly. I also ask the Emperor to remove me from my position as the chief minister of the cabinet."     Li Shun He was furious and said: "You also want to fight with me!"

Hua Jingrong said: "I don't dare, but the emperor has so many ministers, some are experienced and some are young and strong, so why bother holding on to the lives of the old ministers? Sometimes when there are too many people, the heart becomes weak. Miscellaneous."

Li Shun saw him asking another riddle and understood what he meant: "Okay, you have to work hard for a few more years, and when the world is stable, I will allow you to return home in fine clothes. I don't blame you for what happened today. But you must remember , if there is any chaos down there, you cabinet ministers can't do it. You all should retreat and rest. Come back tomorrow morning."

Hua Jingrong sighed: "Old minister, I would like to thank the emperor for your kindness."

After the ministers left, Zhang Liansheng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "I'm here to see you, Your Majesty. I miss you so much."

Li Shun was busy with his affairs, so he just smiled slightly and said: "Lian Sheng, I have drafted the decree to order Ding Ao to return to Beijing today and be promoted to cabinet bachelor and privy minister."

Zhang Liansheng understood what the emperor meant and said: "The emperor is wise."

Li Shun smiled and said, "What's so wise about me?"

Zhang Liansheng smiled and said: "Master Ding has entered the capital, and the imperial court has added a shrewd and capable person."

Li Shun sneered twice, said nothing, and waved his hands: "Don't imitate them. After you finish drafting the edict, go to the Zongren Mansion and bring me the jade plates of all the princes from the beginning of Taizong Dynasty to the study."

Zhang Liansheng took the order and left.

Li Shun returned to the study room and wrote three words on a piece of paper: "Bai, Ding, Sun." and pressed a black dot under the white words.

Just now, the man surnamed Wu didn't finish what he said, it was Bai Linxian who asked him to do this. Wu Xia is a veteran, and if Bai Linxian can seduce him, it will prove that part of the family has also taken refuge in him.

Li Shun transferred Ding Ao back to Beijing, firstly because he did not want him to continue to be involved. Hua Jingrong was right, three imperial envoys were too many. Ding Ao was relatively clean and did not get involved. This was the reason why Bai Linxian was able to leverage people who should have belonged to his power.

The second is that Li Shun is about to attack the family again. After Sun Shu's situation stabilizes, it will be the time of reckoning.

What role does Bai Linxian play in it? Li Shun still doesn't understand that this man has always been arrogant and arrogant, and he is afraid that he will be too smart and go astray. Li Shun's transfer of Ding Ao was also a warning to him.

Let Bai Linxian take over Ding Ao's affairs and see his attitude towards the aristocratic family. If he really degenerates to the point of associating with the powerful family, Li Shun doesn't mind being a king who eats the rabbit to death.

Li Shun took advantage of Zhang Liansheng's move to adjust the jade disc file and called the spirit of luck.

The spirit of luck had long been aware of Li Shun's aura, but seeing that he was busy, he didn't bother him. As soon as he heard the call, he rushed over and chirped: "Your Majesty, do you have complete control of luck? I Can you realize that Dayin's luck is now acting according to your orders? Heaven can't control it anymore!" (End of Chapter)
