The strongest self-cultivation evildoer in the city

Chapter 2180 Deal! (Fifth update!)

The three ministers are all sensible people. They know that Xu Le is favored and valued by His Majesty the Emperor and protected by the Eldest Princess. In addition, Xu Le has made such great achievements. His rise is inevitable, and he cannot be stopped.
That being the case, facing Xu Le's kindness, the three of them naturally accepted it directly, but Wu Jianbao, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, couldn't help reminding: "However, Mr. Xu, if I remember correctly, carp are not allowed to be caught, right? It's against the law!"

Why is eating carp inconsistent with etiquette?Xu Le was puzzled at first, but it was the eldest princess who told him, because the Eastern Jin Dynasty... belonged to the Li family!

Sitting on the dragon chair is His Majesty Li Shizong, carp carp, with the accent on "Li", eating carp will be a taboo, eating carp and eating carp, do you want to eat Li's family directly?
In ancient times, this kind of thing was indeed very particular. In fact, it was the same in the Tang Dynasty in the history of the secular world. At the beginning, eating carp was not allowed.

But when it came to Xu Le, it was completely different.

Xu Le gave Wu Jianbao a strange look, and replied, "I know it's against the legislation, but it's delicious! Besides, His Majesty likes to eat it, so what are you afraid of?"

Wu Jianbao was speechless, and found himself speechless!

Yes, no matter how great the etiquette is, you are no bigger than His Majesty the Emperor. Even His Majesty the Emperor likes to eat, and His Majesty the Emperor doesn't care. You are a court official, why do you care about what?

Xu Le roasted three-tailed carp, then roasted a whole lamb, and cooked a pure wild roe deer. The host and guest enjoyed themselves.

The only thing that made His Majesty the Emperor dissatisfied was that Xu Le and the others were drinking, deliberately drinking in front of the emperor, but Xu Le didn't give us a drop of wine to His Majesty the Emperor, which made His Majesty the Emperor complain very much.

After eating and drinking enough, the three ministers left together.

The palace maid quickly cleared the table, Xu Le was silent for a while, then bowed to the emperor and said very sincerely: "My minister... Thank you for your majesty's care."

Yes, the matter has come to this point, Xu Le already understands everything.

Why, His Majesty the Emperor suddenly summoned Xu Le to cook grilled fish today?
Why, His Majesty the Emperor knew that his body should not drink too much, but he deliberately drank in Xu Le's face?

Why, the three ministers from the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Punishment suddenly came together?
All of this is a "game" set up by His Majesty the Emperor himself to protect Xu Le.

His Majesty the Emperor probably already knew that today the two ministers from the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment will come to the Imperial Garden to report to the third prince, Li Zhi, and Gao Shengbin, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, to sue Xu Le for beating Young Master Gao and contemptuous of the prince.

But His Majesty the Emperor couldn't stop it directly, so he simply summoned Xu Le and Hubu Shangshu.

Then, His Majesty the Emperor deliberately let the three ministers see how close he was to Xu Le, let them see how much the eldest princess had feelings for Xu Le,

Immediately afterwards, the two Ministers of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment were first asked to state Xu Le's guilt, and then the Ministry of Households was asked to report the good news of Yecheng.
In the end, His Majesty the Emperor shot back his carbine and made a big move, clearly telling the two ministers that all of this was Xu Le's great contribution!
I was shocked to hear that at this time, I was so shocked. In the face of Xu Le's great achievements, as for the trivial matter of contempt for the prince and beating of Mr. Gao, in the face of such major events as the treasury,
It seemed completely worthless.

This continuous beating and beating was equivalent to His Majesty the Emperor personally taking action, helping Xu Le directly wipe out the third prince Li Zhi's counterattack against Xu Le without making a fuss.

At this moment, His Majesty the Emperor pondered for a long time, and suddenly shouted back everyone around him, leaving only San Dezi, then he raised his head and asked in a deep voice: "Xu Le, you know, I don't have much time , what you know better is that I have been in power for so many years, and I have been trying to suppress the influence of the big and powerful families, but the effect is very small! The big and powerful families are very difficult to deal with, I come to ask you, do you have any Ways...to allow me to fulfill this wish in my lifetime?"

Xu Le was silent for a long time, and then, Xu Le asked back, "Then, Your Majesty, forgive me for asking, suppressing aristocratic families, is Your Majesty trying to centralize the imperial power? Or is it to...reuse the poor family's children?"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

His Majesty the Emperor laughed loudly and said: "Concentration of imperial power? What does it have to do with me? I can't live for a few years! I just... want to give the poor children of the world a way out! Believe it or not, this is my original intention .”

Yes, the major wealthy families are almost completely monopolized, not to mention the academies where they can enter to temper practitioners, even those schools that study and educate people are controlled by the major wealthy families. It is really too difficult to get ahead.

Of course, if you want to talk about the largest wealthy family, it is naturally the royal family, but the problem is that people stand in different positions and consider issues from different angles. Naturally, I don't want to see those poor children who will never make it to the top.

Xu Le smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I believe this is your original intention! In fact, I have already started to do it. For example, suppressing Li Zhi is the first step of this minister."

His Majesty the Emperor narrowed his eyes, and said lightly: "But don't forget, Li Zhi is the prince after all, he is my son!"

Xu Le calmly replied: "Your Majesty, you seem to have forgotten that there are countless wealthy families standing behind Li Zhi!"

Hearing this, His Majesty the Emperor was obviously thoughtful, and then he asked slowly again: "In this way, I am afraid that Li Xiao is not the one you will assist in the end, right? The reason why you suppressed Li Zhi is because Li Zhi is behind the scenes. from a wealthy family, so why not Li Xiao?"

Xu Le bowed and said: "My humble minister... will always be loyal to His Majesty only!"

His Majesty the Emperor sat on the bamboo chair, tapped it lightly with his fingers, and asked lightly, "What do you need me to do for you?"

Xu Le shook his head, and replied truthfully: "I don't need anything! To be exact, Your Majesty, you just need to sit on the sidelines and watch quietly. You don't need to do anything, which is the greatest support for my minister! Of course, the matter will eventually come to an end." , you still need to take the helm."

His Majesty the Emperor frowned slightly, and suddenly interjected: "I don't care about the affairs between you young people, but you'd better grasp the 'degree' in it, at least, if possible, leave them a way out, they are after all My own son."

Xu Le smiled wryly, and said: "Thank you for your majesty's trust and respect. Your Majesty, how dare I refuse to obey you? But, your majesty, are you not afraid that my minister will lose completely?"

His Majesty the Emperor pointed at Xu Le and scolded with a smile: "You will lose?"

Xu Le straightened his back, raised his eyebrows, and said, "If that's the case, the deal?"

His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly, "Deal."

The Eldest Princess beside her quietly held her chin, watching Xu Le and His Majesty the Emperor quietly make a deal,
The eunuch San Dezi served tea quietly, as if he didn't hear anything.

it is more than words.
