Lord, your mask fell off

Chapter 1358 The King of England really turned against him

In the imperial study room, Emperor Xixuan was looking at the progress of the trial of Chonghe County King in the past few days, and his brows became more and more furrowed. This was the biggest incident since Xiao Xu went north to deal with those corrupt officials five years ago. The court ordered officials to commit crimes.

The people involved include not only the court ministers, but also the local officials. It was like pulling grass and vines, and the branches and leaves were pulled out.

Breaking the bones is also connecting the tendons, not to mention such a mess of people who are so intertwined.

At this time, King Chonghe stood in front of him and bent over to ask for instructions, no doubt wanting to see if he wanted to continue the investigation.

Emperor Xixuan frowned, looked up at the king of the county who hadn't said a word since the memorial was delivered, and couldn't help but sink his eyes, "Young king, what do you think should be done about this matter?"

King Chonghe moved his shoulders, raised his drooping head, and said calmly, "It depends on what kind of result His Majesty wants to achieve."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Emperor Xixuan put down the memorial and looked over with piercing eyes.

King Chonghe smiled and continued, "If Your Majesty wants to get rid of the moths that have been in the court for so many years, you should find out all of them. If your Majesty wants to achieve a deterrent effect but does not want to implicate too many people , then you only need to pick out the left side and the right side, and others can handle it according to their discretion. But the old minister knows what His Majesty is worried about."

Emperor Xixuan smiled, "Did the king guess it?"

King Chonghe still smiled lightly, "The first method is bound to cause turmoil in the court. All officials, civil and military, are in danger and have no intention of governing. Moreover, too many officials will be executed at once, resulting in vacancies, which will affect the government. To the people of the Li people. The second method is thunder and rain, although a group of people were executed, but at the same time a group of people were left behind. His Majesty is wary of them, and even if he employs people in the future, he will not be so relieved. Therefore, the two methods have advantages and disadvantages, and it is difficult for His Majesty to choose."

Emperor Xixuan ordered someone to arrange a seat for Chonghe County King, then patted his thigh, sighed softly, "The County King is right, this is exactly what I am contradicting," he said, looking up at Chonghe He looked at the king, "Which method does the king think is more appropriate?"

The king of the county shook his head, "Your Majesty can't even make a decision, how can the veteran He De figure it out?"

Emperor Xixuan snorted, he was still so cunning, and didn't give him any advice, but he had already made a decision.

"If I want to clean up all the factions again, how sure is the county king?"

King Chonghe was not surprised at all. Judging from his resolute actions a few days ago, he knew that the emperor had already made a decision in his heart.

"That depends on what kind of effect His Majesty wants to achieve?"

Emperor Xixuan sneered a little in his heart, this old trickster!
"Of course it is to uproot all those who have a different heart."

"Including those who support His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?" Duke Chonghe was not worried about offending the emperor at all.

Emperor Xixuan stared at him for a while, then slowly nodded, "Including."

"If His Majesty fully supports it, the old minister is [-]% sure." Chonghe County King replied with a watchful eye.

"Okay!" Emperor Xixuan showed a smile, "In this way, when Ran'er inherits the position of Zhen in the future, there will be loyal and patriotic courtiers in the court, so he can take care of it."

Perhaps it was because he had completely broken skin with Xiao Xu, Emperor Xixuan did not hide his approval of Xiao Ran at all, and his decision to make him the heir apparent in the future.

The king of Chonghe County frowned, half-closed his eyes, and said in disapproval, "Your Majesty, it seems a little inappropriate. According to Xixuan's succession to the throne since ancient times, if the eldest son is still there, as long as he has no moral problems, he should be the eldest son." to inherit the throne."

"Your Majesty Chonghe, do you want to contradict me?" Emperor Xixuan withdrew his smile and responded coldly.

King Chonghe smiled, "The old minister dare not, after all, loyal words are harsh, and the old minister is just telling the truth."

"That's a good thing to tell the truth!" Emperor Xixuan snorted coldly, his gaze aggressive, "If I abolish Liang Yuan and make Concubine Yue the empress, then Ran'er will be the first son, then it is reasonable for him to be selected as the crown prince."

"Your Majesty, you can't be so willful. The Empress Derong is fine. If you abolish the Empress easily, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the court and the people of Li!"

When Emperor Xixuan heard this and was about to scold him for committing crimes, Eunuch Cao hurried in with a bodyguard.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have important military information to report!" the guard knelt on the ground with a panicked expression.

When Emperor Xixuan heard that it was a military situation, he didn't care what rebellious words Chonghe County King had said, and immediately said, "Say it!"

"When General Li was chasing the King of England and his party, he found an army coming from the north. They appeared suddenly, and they were well-trained and well-equipped, and all of them were elite."

Everyone present was stunned, and Emperor Xixuan said angrily, "How many are there? Who is the leader? Why didn't you find out until now?"

"There are about [-] people. I don't know what method they used to cover up their whereabouts before they were discovered. The spies didn't find them until now. The leader is, is—" The guard lowered his head, not daring to say anything.

Emperor Xixuan stood up and smashed the teacup on the table to the ground, "Say, who is it!"

He really raised a group of trash, and the people had already called, and they realized that if it was a little later, they would attack the capital!
The guard didn't dare to hide it, "It's a man named Fang Liu, who used to be a soldier next to the King of England, and later he was promoted to lieutenant general after many meritorious deeds."

Emperor Xixuan couldn't help but swayed, and supported the desk amid Eunuch Cao's worried voice, Longyan said angrily, "He really rebelled! He really dared to rebel!"

As he said that, he looked angrily at the Chonghe County King who was standing aside, "Look, this is the eldest prince who you said has no moral problems, and he has already led troops to rebel against my world!"

King Chonghe closed his eyes and sighed heavily.

Seeing that Emperor Xixuan smashed all the things that could be smashed in the imperial study, Eunuch Cao immediately escorted Chonghe County King out of the palace, so as not to hurt innocent people.

King Chonghe and Eunuch Cao stood outside the hall, listening to the noise from inside, they both looked at each other and smiled wryly.

"Eunuch Cao, you have been with His Majesty for 50 to [-] years, when did you see him so panicked?" Chonghe County King said softly.

Eunuch Cao shook his head, "Never."

"Actually, I don't blame that child Xu'er. All of this is His Majesty's fault." Duke Chonghe shook his head, turned and left.

Eunuch Cao watched the aged figure slowly go away, feeling bitter in his heart.

He has been by His Majesty's side since he was a child, and witnessed him from a prince to a prince, and then to the emperor in this prosperous age.

He knew that His Majesty was not so ruthless at the beginning, but time passed and he experienced a lot, and his mentality changed. The more he got, the more he was reluctant to let go, which led to today's situation.

However, no matter whether the road ahead is full of flowers or full of desolation, he will continue to walk with His Majesty.
