Unparalleled Concubine

"What does Li Shilang mean?"

"This is related to whether His Majesty has lost his morals."

Li Xin looked serious: "If the Ministry of Punishment also said that there are disasters in various places, how should His Majesty deal with himself? Is it true that His Majesty should sacrifice to heaven and plead guilty?"

"Your Majesty has only been enthroned for half a year. Before any national policy has been issued, there is a real disaster, and it has nothing to do with Your Majesty. If His Majesty entrusts this matter to Zhou Shangshu, it means trusting Zhou Shangshu. Your Majesty cannot say it clearly, but Zhou Shangshu should be in his heart." Understand the meaning behind His Majesty."

Zhou Qian frowned deeply.

If it was another person who said that to him, he would probably have sneered at it, but this Minister of the Ministry of War is the biggest celebrity in front of His Majesty, and his meaning can indeed represent His Majesty's meaning to a certain extent.

After a while, he said slowly: "Your Majesty has no words for such a major matter, and the Ministry of Punishment dare not turn black and white."

Li Xin smiled and said: "It is impossible for His Majesty to leave a message for you about this kind of thing, but I can write a letter to Zhou Shang. If something happens, Zhou Shangshu just pushes it on me."

At critical times, daring to take the blame for the leader is an essential quality for an excellent employee.

As he said that, Li Xin said calmly: "Furthermore, most of these people really lied about the disaster."

Zhou Qian hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "If it is found out that there are indeed disasters in various places, but you can't tell them directly, then those disaster-stricken places will be devastated?"

"Then you come back and tell His Majesty privately."

Li Xin's face was calm: "Even if the Ministry of Household Affairs does not give the money, His Majesty will pay the disaster relief money from the internal funds."

Only then did Zhou Qian bow to Li Xin.

"Thank you Li Shilang, I have been taught."

Li Xin also bowed his hands to him and returned the salute, and the two passed shoulder to shoulder.

Li Xin walked towards the emperor's study.

In the study, the emperor was playing with a piece of jade. Seeing Li Xin coming in, the emperor smiled.

"Those civil servants are too arrogant. It's not Chang'an. I can't think of how to deal with them for a while."

Li Xin bowed his head and said: "The Yushitai is the mouthpiece of the literati. If you master the Yushitai, your majesty will be much better in the future."

The emperor nodded and asked with a smile, "That Zhou Qian?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the minister has already made it clear to him."

Li Xin smiled: "In any case, this incident will not affect His Majesty's reputation. As long as the news from the Ministry of Punishment comes back, His Majesty can logically remove Yang Rong."

This is a double play between the monarch and his ministers.

The emperor patted Li Xin's shoulder with emotion.

"After you returned to Beijing, Chang'an, I became much more comfortable in doing things."

"His Majesty praised you."

The emperor paused, and asked, "Chang'an, tell me, if the reports are indeed false, who should do it?"

Li Xin was silent for a while, then spoke slowly.

"No matter who it is, it can only be counted on the head of His Royal Highness King Qi."

Chapter 387 My Brother Is Also

In the history of seizing the heir, no one will be tender after success. The reason why Emperor Taikang let the fourth child out of Beijing without doing anything is because he has not yet settled down.

And there are only two people who can carry this big pot of instigating various places to lie about the disaster situation. One is Li Shen, Marquis of Pingnan, and the other is the former fourth prince Ji Huan. Regardless of whether Ji Huan did it or not, it will be thrown on his head in the end.

The emperor was silent for a while, and finally heaved a long sigh: "I'm afraid people in the world will say that I am too cold."

Li Xin smiled and said: "It's okay, when the time comes, I will let the minister come and attack the Qi Palace."

What Jing'an Hou meant was, I will carry this pot for you.

The emperor frowned slightly.

"Chang'an, I know you are sincere, but we still have a long life in the future, you can't take all the faults on your own head."

The Emperor Taikang sighed and said sincerely, "Don't think too much, I have absolutely no bad intentions towards you, this new dynasty is full of enemies, and I still have a lot to rely on you for."

Li Xin said with a smile: "This is not a crime. His Royal Highness King Qi instigated various places to lie about the disaster and slander His Majesty. It is already considered a capital crime. When the time comes, I will deal with it and spare the lives of King Qi's family. It will not be a fault."

The Son of Heaven patted Li Xin on the back.

"Brother Xin, it's hard for you."

"No problem."

Li Xin smiled and said: "The goal of my minister and His Majesty is the same. One day, I will help Your Majesty to pacify the southern border, and I will honestly be my son-in-law captain and will not come out to do anything."

The emperor solemnly shook his head.

"Chang'an, you don't want to think about it."

Emperor Taikang looked solemn: "You and I can be regarded as friends in need. To put it a little vulgarly, Chang'an has a kindness with me. Although I am not a benevolent emperor like my father, I am not an ungrateful villain either. In any case, as long as I am alive, you, Li Changan, will be alive as long as you are."

The emperor smiled and said: "I have already thought about it. When the prince starts to learn, let him officially worship Chang'an as a teacher, so that I can justifiably make you a prince and tutor in the future."

Taizi Taifu is the prince's master.

This position is an official of the Eastern Palace in name, but it is not actually a real position. It is generally only awarded to the prime minister of Shangshutai, or the left and right governors of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is the highest military institution in the name of the Jin Dynasty, which controls the internal and external military affairs. The four military leaders standing in the first row with Li Xin above the court are from the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion.

There are two governors on the left and right of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, a Tongzhi, and Pei Jin, a general of the Forbidden Army.

When Emperor Taikang was still in Qiandi, that Princess Xie, the current Empress Xie, once mentioned that he wanted his son to worship Li Xin as his teacher, but Li Xin didn't nod at that time.

Now Emperor Taikang brought up the old story again.

Li Xin bowed his head slightly, and said with a smile: "There are not many people who are well-educated and capable in the court. How can it be the turn of a young man like this to be the Taifu? In this position of servant, I don't say anything. It takes more than ten years to get seniority, Your Majesty will no longer praise and kill ministers."

The emperor looked serious.

"There are many capable people in the court, but you, Li Chang'an, were the only ones who helped me ascend the throne back then."

Li Xin shook his head and said, "There is also the Ye family."

"The Ye family is tall enough."

The Son of Heaven laughed and said: "Besides, without Brother Xin, the Ye family might not be willing to help me at that time."
