Daqing: Reborn Prince, intercepting Si Lili at the beginning

However, the arrival of this minister surprised Li Chengyuan greatly.

Looking at the fawning Xin Qiwu in front of him, who had a charming and playful demeanor, Li Chengyuan was extremely surprised.

"Lord Xin? Aren't you a disciple of the Crown Prince? Why are you looking for me?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Qiwu said with a flattering face, "Hehe, Your Highness, I have no choice but to do this!"

"Sit down, sit down!" Li Chengyuan extended his hand to invite Xin Qiwu to sit down, then leaned forward and asked curiously, "Don't be impatient, tell me slowly. How did you get forced into this?"

Upon hearing this, Xin Qiwu said with a bitter face, "Your Highness, you may not know that I caught a cold a few days ago, so I got up a little late the next day.

Then, when I attended the morning court, in order not to be late, I ran faster, and ended up being spotted by those people from the Censorate.

I submitted a report accusing me of misbehavior in front of the palace, and was severely punished by His Majesty!"

Li Chengyuan was puzzled and asked, "It's just a breach of etiquette in front of the palace. It shouldn't be a serious matter, right? The worst that can happen is just a small salary fine!"

Xin Qiwu glanced at Li Chengyuan with a sheepish look, then hesitantly said, "This occasional misbehavior in front of the palace is really nothing.

But Your Highness, you know me. Sometimes when I am happy, I do forget myself.

Actually, it wasn't a big deal.

⑴ling0⑴67⑴０wu５

I don’t know what’s wrong with those people in the Censorate recently.

I am the only one you can bully.

I heard that more than a dozen people from the Censorate have submitted memorials to accuse me!

This is such a big event, I simply can't handle it!"

Li Chengyuan's eyes moved, and he whispered, "Didn't you go to see the prince?"

"I did!" Xin Qiwu sighed, "But wasn't the Crown Prince confined by His Majesty for three days?

I couldn't see the Crown Prince at all. He just sent someone to tell me to fend for myself!"

"???"

Seeking happiness for yourself?

Shouldn't it?

Is Li Chengqian crazy?

Shouldn't he give Xin Qiwu all possible assistance at this time?

Otherwise, once people lose their morale, how can you lead the team?

Or is it that the prince is preparing to bide his time again?

Li Chengyuan was very puzzled, but he did not show it. Instead, he continued to ask:

"What does His Majesty say?"

Xin Qiwu said: "His Majesty hasn't given me any results yet, but I think I may not be able to recover. I heard that I may be exiled!

Your Highness, my family is all in Kyoto, and my mother is old and cannot bear the fatigue of traveling.

If possible, I really don't want to be sent out.

So I have no choice but to come to you.

I heard that Your Highness has been recruiting talented people recently. Although I am not talented, I would like to serve Your Highness at my best! "

Looking at Xin Qiwu's flattering smile, Li Chengyuan fell into deep thought.

He still likes Xin Qiwu very much.

Although this guy is sometimes a little too "wandering", he is still very capable at critical moments.

Without mentioning anything else, during the negotiation he said to Fan Xian: The victory was won by the soldiers on the front line who fought for their lives. If we are not strong, we will be sorry for these soldiers!

Just this one sentence was enough to make Li Chengyuan recognize Xin Qiwu.

At least as the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple, Xin Qiwu is very qualified.

Moreover, this Lord Xin is a funny guy. If he could be accepted as a disciple, he would be a fun person to watch.

But... Li Chengyuan is not sure whether Xin Qiwu is sincere or not!

But he immediately thought that whether Xin Qiwu was sincere or not, it seemed to have no effect on him.

Anyway, no one will ask him to do anything core-related. If he can help out when something happens in the court in the future, then it won't be in vain to keep him in.

In addition, Xin Qiwu is also a person who is opportunistic and flattering!

In the plot, Fan Xian became the chief examiner of the imperial examination, and he disguised himself and gave gifts to Fan Xian.

Such people have very flexible moral bottom lines.

Now that he is in great trouble, it is not impossible for him to come and join Li Chengyuan!

So after thinking it over, Li Chengyuan said to Xin Qiwu, "Master Xin, I personally admire you very much, but there's something I want you to understand!"

Xin Qiwu hurriedly stood up and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, please speak!"

"Hmm!" Li Chengyuan looked at Xin Qiwu and said seriously, "I don't know how other princes treat their retainers.

But for me, the most taboo thing is people who are two-faced, flattering, and even disloyal!

Lord Xin came to me for help, so I naturally believe in his character.

But let me be frank, if Lord Xin's heart is not sincere enough, then I, Li Chengyuan, will definitely not be a good-tempered person!

I dare to break into the Inspection Office in public, so I naturally dare to eradicate the traitor at all costs!

In my place, traitors will never have a good end!"

(Yes) Xin Qiwu shuddered all over when he heard this and fell to his knees with a thud.

"Your Highness, I am not a traitor. Please understand! I have come to you with all my heart!"

Xin Qiwu was really scared.

Li Chengyuan's break-in to the Inspection Office was not in vain.

Many officials would be shocked when they hear this now.

Xin Qiwu was not very courageous to begin with, and after being frightened by Li Chengyuan, he was so frightened that his whole body was trembling.

Li Chengyuan was quite amused and helpless when he saw this.

He just wanted to give Xin Qiwu a shot of prevention, but he didn't expect to scare him like this.

Li Chengyuan shook his head, then stood up and helped Xin Qiwu up.

"Don't panic, Master Xin. My words were not directed at you. They were just some basic tips for beginners.

Don't worry, since you sincerely rely on me, I will definitely help you!

I will go to the palace right now and ask His Majesty to plead for you!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Qiwu's face suddenly lit up with joy, and he knelt on the ground again, saying loudly, "Thank you, Your Highness. I am willing to serve you and will devote all my energy to your service from now on, and I will never waver!"

"Alright!" Li Chengyuan helped Xin Qiwu up again and nodded, "Alright, Master Xin, don't worry. I'll go to the palace now. You go back and wait for news!"

"I obey your command. I'll trouble you then, Your Highness!"

Xin Qiwu heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and left with a smile.

Chapter 134: Emperor Qing’s unpredictable plan! It’s time to soak in the hot springs!

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

Li Chengyuan came specifically to plead for Xin Qiwu.

This is not the first time he has come here.

During this period, officials from the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were often demoted. These officials were not limited to Kyoto, but also included local officials!

At first, Li Chengyuan just thought that Emperor Qing was teaching the Crown Prince and the Second Prince a lesson.

But as the matter got bigger and bigger, Li Chengyuan gradually came to his senses.

It is obvious that Emperor Qing is not just venting his anger, his more important purpose is to use this as an excuse to complete the cleansing of the officialdom!

Emperor Qing was probably already preparing for this matter.

Perhaps it started from the moment Fan Xian came to Beijing...or even from the moment he was crowned king.

It was because Emperor Qing noticed that the Crown Prince and the Second Prince were becoming increasingly powerful, which made Emperor Qing feel a sense of crisis.

Therefore, he began to lay out his plans, using him and Fan Xian as the breakthrough point, and gradually eroding the power of the crown prince and the second prince.

It was also because of this that he was crowned king, and Fan Xian had the opportunity to inherit the inner treasury!

Of course, the plot does not show Emperor Qing cleaning up the bureaucracy.

But after Li Yunrui's treason and smuggling were exposed, Emperor Qing was not angry at all.

From this we can see that Emperor Qing had long known about Li Yunrui's treason and smuggling, and he might even have condoned it.

However, Emperor Qing did not expect that Li Yunrui would actually use this money to support Li Chengze.

After the matter was exposed, Emperor Qing began to think about cleaning up the officialdom!

And it was precisely because when Li Yunrui's treason was exposed, Emperor Qing had quietly completed the reorganization of the officialdom that he was able to sit back and relax, and naturally he would not be angry.

..

So the prince knew Emperor Qing’s determination, so he temporarily restrained his edge and lay dormant again?

This is in line with the prince's temperament.

Li Chengqian likes to play the pig and eat the tiger, and plot secretly.

As for the second brother Li Chengze, he was probably very unwilling, but facing the powerful Emperor Qing, he could only try his best to protect himself.

917 The only thing that Li Chengyuan couldn’t understand was that Emperor Qing seemed to be too “lenient” to him!

During this period, Emperor Qing pardoned all the officials for whom Li Chengyuan had petitioned for mercy.

Without exception, these officials became his disciples.

This also meant that in just half a month, Li Chengyuan was able to compete with Li Chengze in terms of power in the court.
