Chapter 89

"Come on, prepare the horse, I want to go to the palace myself," Li Ru said to the butler.

Since the enemy army outside the city has already planned to use him to make a fuss, he must first inform His Majesty. Although he thinks he should be able to see through the tricks of the enemy army outside the city, His Majesty may not be able to see through, so in order to save his life, he must first Communicate with His Majesty the content.

The moment Li Ru left the mansion, the guards of the Northern Army stationed along the street notified their superiors that someone was going to Li's mansion.

Today's Northern Army has set up some guards on the main street of Chang'an, nominally to prevent chaos in the city, but actually to monitor the movements of all officials, including Li Ru's Mansion, of course.

Soon, Li Ru arrived at the Chang'an Imperial Palace. Due to his status as a servant, he didn't need to report, so he quickly arrived at Miyagi, and then went directly to the Gaomen Palace.

Although Li Ru was free to enter and leave the palace, it did not include various halls, and he still needed to report when entering and leaving the palace.After the report, Li Ru entered the high gate hall.

"Your Majesty, the enemy troops outside the city have already begun to make trouble on the subject, Your Majesty, be ready." Li Ru said eagerly, he was really afraid that His Majesty would not be able to withstand the pressure.

"Cui Ming, bring the memorials of all the ministers." Zhang Ming said.

Cui Ming, who was in the hall, immediately walked out of the hall, and ordered the young eunuch to bring all the petitions submitted by the courtiers during this period to the hall.

Soon the little eunuch asked several eunuchs to carry all the memorials into the hall together. Each eunuch had at least 50 memorials in his hands, and there were 4 eunuchs in total.

Zhang Ming had read some of these memorials, and they were all about the crimes committed by Li Ru, such as killing the young emperor with poison, burning Luoyang, and assisting the emperor. He read a few of them and found that the contents were similar, so he didn't bother to read them later.

"Li Shizhong, you might as well choose a few memorials to read first." Zhang Ming said.

Li Ru looked at the hundreds of memorials piled up in the hall, and he was a little dazzled, but soon, he picked up one casually and read it.

The memorial that Li Ru picked up was written by Shang Shuling Yang Zan, and there were twelve big characters clearly written on it, Li Ru burned the capital to death as a traitor of the Han Dynasty.

Yang Zan did not mention that Li Ru poisoned the young emperor. After all, if there was no such thing as Li Ru poisoning the young emperor, there would be no current majesty. Some will mention it, some will not.

Li Ru put down the memorial in his hand, picked up a new memorial, put it down after reading it, picked up the memorial one after another and put it down again, but the expression on his face became more and more ugly.

Li Ru didn't expect so many people to be interested in him. Although he knew that many courtiers had objections to him, he never expected that there were so many. Only then did he remember how much he had done with Dong Zhuo Bad things, he has forgotten, but someone still remembers.

Li Ru put down the memorial in his hand, stopped reading, and looked directly at His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, I deserve death for my crimes."

Li Ru no longer defended, since His Majesty has so many memorials in his hands, there is no point in his sophistry, it is difficult for him to perceive His Majesty's meaning, but he dare not ask in person.

"Li Shizhong, do you know? I saved you."

"On the night of Dong Zhuo's death, I asked Wang Yun to protect your life, otherwise you would have been regarded as Dong Zhuo's accomplice and killed together."

"It was only after I gained power that I took you from Wang Yun's hands. Then it was I who gave you the status of servant, and it was I who suppressed the petitions of many ministers."

"What do you think I am for?"

His Majesty spoke several words in succession before Li Ru fully understood his situation.If it wasn't for His Majesty, he would have been killed along with Dong Zhuo long ago, how could he have the position of servant today.In the entire court, no one is with him, only His Majesty is protecting him.

Li Ru, who was thinking clearly, knelt on his knees and shouted, "I am willing to die for Your Majesty."

"Get up," Zhang Ming said unhurriedly.

"I don't need you to die for me. I said that I hope you can become my Chen Ping." Zhang Ming continued.

"Thank you, Your Majesty" Li Ru then stood up.

"Cui Ming, pull down all these memorials and set them all on fire." Zhang Ming said to Cui Ming. In his opinion, these memorials have already exerted their greatest value and can be destroyed.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Then Cui Ming arranged for the four eunuchs to take all the memorials down.

"Your Majesty, besides this matter, I have one more matter to report to you today."

"Li Li's nephew, Li Li, wants to be an official and persuade the minister to join the enemy army. The minister has asked the guards at home to take him down and leave it to His Majesty." Li Ruhui reported that after what happened just now, for the current Majesty, he No longer hesitate.

"Bring it into the palace and hand it over to the commander of the Northern Army." Zhang Ming said.Although according to common sense, it should be handed over to Zuo Fengyi to manage, but the current Zuo Fengyi is not appointed by him. I don't know if he has friendship with Li Jue and others. He has the final say in the palace now.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Ru immediately understood what His Majesty meant. The reason why he came to ask His Majesty first was because this kind of thing was more troublesome.

"Your Majesty, does the Liu family who protect Li Li need to be dealt with?" Li Ru asked cautiously.

Dealing with Li Li is completely different from how difficult it is to deal with the Liu family. Li Jue is now a hostile force with the imperial court. Dealing with Li Li is a legitimate matter, and no one will gossip about it. In addition to the people hiding in the major families, the Li family's forces in the city have all been executed.

As for dealing with the Liu family, although there is suspicion of covering up Li Jue's nephew, what's the problem?In the huge city of Chang'an, it wasn't just that his family sheltered the enemy bandits, it was just that they couldn't find them.These aristocratic families are married to each other and communicate with each other, and they have already formed a community of interests.If it is not handled properly, it will cause a lot of trouble, so it is obvious that it can only be ignored.

"You don't need to deal with it. Just say that Li Li hates Li Shizhong, so he broke into Li's mansion without any reason to make trouble, and was taken by the guards in your mansion."

"I have let the Northern Army take over the security of Chang'an Avenue temporarily, so this is considered a security issue, and you can justifiably hand it over to the soldiers of the Northern Army," Zhang Ming said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will deal with it after I return." Li Ru said.

He is aware of the fact that the Northern Army has temporarily taken over Chang'an's public security. After all, there are enemy troops invading outside the city, and the stability inside the city is extremely important, so no one will gossip, and even if they gossip, they must keep their mouths shut.

However, it is said that these northern troops also mainly patrol the main streets of Chang'an. As for the outer suburbs, it is still the same as before, but fortunately, there was food from His Majesty before, and the suburbs of Chang'an have been quieter recently.
