Scum attack 'scum' to the end

After retreating from the imperial court, Li Zuoxiang walked out of the main hall, and Master Lin chased him up: "Zuoxiang stay!"

Li Zuoxiang knew why Master Lin called him to stop him. He glanced around and saw that the other officials had left obediently. No one dared to look at the two of them, so he stopped. He smiled and said, "What's the matter, brother-in-law?"

Bachelor Lin was very dissatisfied with Li Zuoxiang's pretending to be confused, but he still didn't dare to show it on his face, "Why did Zuoxiang just recommend you to be an official at the Golden Temple?" Don't you know about recommending to avoid relatives?Didn't you put me on His Majesty's blacklist?

Li Zuoxiang didn't seem to understand what he meant, he laughed and said, "Isn't it good for the Prime Minister to recommend you? In the future, Zhang Youxiang will retire, and you have this opportunity, so you can just go up."

What Li Zuoxiang said is indeed true. This time the right minister asked for sick leave, many people wanted to temporarily act as the right minister. People flock to it.It is because of the experience of acting as the right minister this time, if it is done well, it will leave a good impression on His Majesty, and the chances of becoming the right minister will be much higher after the right minister retires.

Bachelor Lin naturally thought so too.It's just that he doesn't have the slightest joy now, because Li Zuoxiang personally recommended him, he must have a bad impression on His Majesty, he might even be on the blacklist, and he doesn't even know if he can keep his current position .

This can be seen from the fact that His Majesty sent Zhang Youxiang's son to restrain him.

Therefore, Bachelor Lin is full of resentment towards Li Zuoxiang at this time. Compared with the current situation where he cannot advance or retreat, he would rather not be recommended.It's just that he still has to rely on Li Zuoxiang now, so he has to swallow this resentment back.

Li Zuoxiang looked coldly at Master Lin's suffocated face. He deserved it. If he married the daughter of the Li family and dared to be a fool, he had to teach him a good lesson. If he can promote him, he can suppress him. !

Li Zuoxiang had a warm smile on his face: "Don't worry about anything, the truth is His Majesty's own uncle, and His Majesty will still give you some face."

After finishing speaking, he left Lin University, who was hesitant to speak, and turned to leave.

University scholar Lin stood there looking at Li Zuoxiang's back with his face turning green and pale, and he gave him a sip in his heart: How about kissing uncle?Such arrogance will be dealt with by His Majesty sooner or later!

Then he also left the palace angrily.

Li Zuoxiang went out of the palace gate and got into the sedan chair.

He sat in the sedan chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind, but his mind was spinning a thousand times.

Today's temptation made him feel that the situation is not good... Last time when his wife entered the palace, he learned the reason for the child's pregnancy from the daughter of the imperial concubine who was grounded. After waking up amidst wealth and glory, he realized His Majesty's dissatisfaction with the Li family.

And this morning, he recommended Bachelor Lin to him, firstly to give a warning to Master Lin's sloppy behavior, and secondly to test Shen Jin's current attitude towards the Li family.

If Shen Jin reprimanded him in the early court for not avoiding relatives for recommending, although he would lose face, his heart would not be so heavy.Because His Majesty will reprimand him, it means that he has not completely given up on the Li family, and there is still room for turning around.And if His Majesty didn't reprimand him, he would not be too worried if he directly ordered Bachelor Lin to take the position of Prime Minister according to his recommendation. At least it means that His Majesty is still tolerant of the Li family and can tolerate the Li family's petty actions.

However, His Majesty's behavior was the last one he wanted to see.

His Majesty did not reprimand him at the court, which means that His Majesty has given up beating the Li family and is ready to clean up the Li family; following his recommendation to let Lin University to take the position of right minister temporarily, this is His Majesty trying to appease him and want him to relax Be vigilant; and the addition of Master Zhang to restrain Bachelor Lin, this is a manifestation of His Majesty's distrust of him and the Li family.

&&&&&&&&&&&

Li Zuoxiang recalled the performance of the Li family since His Majesty ascended the throne, and then sighed deeply helplessly.

Entitlement is charming.

The Li family relied on a prince of the Li family's blood to ascend to the throne, and the children of the family were very arrogant. Even he himself thought that he was superior because he was the uncle of the country, and even Zhang Youxiang didn't look down on him?

Moreover, in order to maintain the prosperity of the Li family in the future, he also sent his daughter to the palace, with the purpose of making the next emperor come from the womb of the Li family daughter.It's just this situation, how could His Majesty tolerate it?

If his daughter hadn't been grounded and learned the truth behind his daughter's concubine Huailongzi, I'm afraid he would still be complacent about the prosperity of the Li family. The family is gone.

In the royal family, how common is it that father and son turn against each other, brothers turn against each other, and mother and son turn against each other?How could he be so fascinated that the emperor would treat his uncle differently?No emperor could tolerate a courtier who began to count on his throne while he was still alive, even if the courtier was his mother's family, he still couldn't tolerate it.No matter how filial the emperor is to the empress dowager, it involves the imperial power and the throne. If he wants to be filial, he can't be filial.

Almost the back of Li Zuoxiang's official uniform was soaked in cold sweat.

Li Zuoxiang had already understood Shen Jin's attitude towards the Li family during the early trial today, and now he needed to express his loyalty by delegating power wisely before Shen Jin formally attacked the Li family.

As soon as Li Zuoxiang returned to Li's mansion, the first thing he did was to clean up the Li family's dudes who caused trouble everywhere under the name of royal relatives, and even separated his second brother's family cruelly.

Parents are here, no separation.

Mrs. Li couldn't believe that her filial eldest son wanted to drive his younger brother out. She cried and wiped away her tears not allowing Li Zuoxiang to separate the family: "You are trying to force my old bone to death!" She gave birth to two Two sons and two daughters, the eldest daughter is now the queen mother, the youngest daughter is married to a scholar of Lin University, and the eldest son is the prime minister, but the youngest son is incapable of writing and martial arts, so he can only rely on his brother to live around.If the youngest son is separated from the family, wouldn't he become a white body who can be bullied?She wouldn't do anything.

Li Zuoxiang looked at his tearful mother and his brother with an ugly face, and seeing that there were no outsiders at this time, he sighed without hesitation: "Mother, I am also doing this to protect my second brother's family."

Mrs. Li temporarily stopped the fuss, hit the ground with her cane vigorously, and said angrily: "If you don't give me an explanation, don't recognize me as a mother!"

Li Zuoxiang said with a bitter face: "Mother, a son shouldn't send his daughter into the palace, and now he has been tabooed by His Majesty. The Li family is so ostentatious, if not for the eldest sister in the palace, I am afraid that His Majesty would have already given up us."

Mrs. Li said nonchalantly: "The Queen Mother is still here, how could something happen to the Li family? Moreover, His Majesty was able to succeed because of the great help of our Li family."

Li Zuoxiang frowned at his mother's feeling good attitude, and said: "Then mother, if the empress dowager is gone...or what will happen to the Li family if the power of the Li family is so huge that His Majesty can't sleep and eat? Since ancient times, the relatives have been ruled by the emperor Suspicion, our Li family was supposed to keep a low profile, but we were dazzled by this superficial prosperity."

Li Zuoxiang gave a few more examples of the former empress dowager's natal family who were too ostentatious and were punished by the emperor, and immediately woke up Mrs. Li and Master Li.Mrs. Li also realized that the current blooming flowers of the Li family are actually cooking oil in the fire, and asked anxiously: "Then, what should we do?"

Li Zuoxiang was quite calm: "The Queen Mother is still here, and the Li family is still stable. Your Majesty just intends to make a move but has not yet done so. We still have a chance." He said in a deep voice, "I am not young now, and I plan to write a letter to Your Majesty. Retiring from the old age makes way for the son." If both father and son are officials in the court, the son's official position cannot exceed that of the father, so in general, the father will retire early to make way for the son in order not to hinder the son's future.Li Zuoxiang's eldest son has now been admitted to the second-class Jinshi and entered the Imperial Academy. After he became an official, without him obstructing the emperor's eyes, his son's official career will be much smoother in the future.

He looked at his younger brother, and said earnestly: "Second brother, as a brother, I don't know if this move can save the Li family. You only have a vain position with a low official position. After the family is separated, if something happens to the Li family, you will be fine." I can keep your house." Master Li Er has no skills, so he has no chance to arrogantly obstruct the emperor's eyes.

Although Second Master Li is incompetent, he is not a fool. Li Zuoxiang has made it so clear that he is about to resign from his official position, which shows the seriousness of the situation.He didn't want to separate the family because he wanted to use the prestige of the prime minister's mansion to elevate his status. If Li Zuoxiang wanted to resign, then it wouldn't matter whether the family was separated or not.

Seeing his younger brother, Li Zuoxiang nodded in agreement, and immediately started to prepare for the division of the family. He did not treat his younger brother badly, as the family property should have been divided seventy-three, but he gave half of it to his younger brother.

&&&&&&&&&&&

After Shen Jin came to court, he was originally angry because Li Zuoxiang didn't give him face in the early court, but it didn't take long for him to receive the news of the separation of the two families of the Li family's direct branch.With Li Zuoxiang's deliberate push for this news, many people know the details of the separation, and Shen Jin's information here is even more detailed.

He originally thought that Li Zuoxiang had a falling out with his younger brother, so he separated him, but after seeing the specific situation of the separation, Li Zuoxiang voluntarily gave his younger brother [-]% of the family property, and it was all good things, so he vetoed this reason.

Shen Jin flipped through the information, and when he saw the news that Li Zuoxiang immediately dealt with the dudes of the Li family when he returned to the mansion, he suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but smile: "It seems that I don't need to bother."

Li Zuoxiang's actions all show that he is rectifying the Li family.If the Li family knew how to behave with their tails between their legs, Shen Jin would not cling to them and insist on killing the Li family.

It won't be long before he can receive the letter of Li Zuoxiang's resignation.

Shen Jin also understood that Li Zuoxiang's blatant recommendation this morning was to test his attitude.It's just that I don't know how Li Zuoxiang was awakened, but he suddenly realized it.

Power is charming, Li Zuoxiang can sit in Zuoxiang's position when the emperor is guarded against him, so he is also an old fox, but this old fox is fascinated by power and never sees the crisis under the scenery.Now he was awakened for some unknown reason, and of course he immediately saw the crisis of the Li family like a castle in the air.

Knowing the crisis, if you want to solve this crisis, you must either fight hard with the emperor, push the emperor down, or take the initiative to shrink back to preserve your vitality.In this ancient time when imperial power was supreme and everyone was taught to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic to the country, Li Zuoxiang chose the latter without hesitation.

Sure enough, as Shen Jin expected, he received the memorial of Li Zuoxiang's resignation the next day.

Li Zuo's acquaintance voluntarily resigned from office, which saved him a lot of effort.In order to express his praise, after Shen Jin approved the application for resignation, he swiped his pen and named Li Zuoxiang the crown prince. Now Shen Jin has no crown prince at all. consolation prize.After the consolation prize, some substantive rewards came, adding his son's official position and releasing Li Guifei's confinement.

Shen Jin's reward for expressing approval made the panic-stricken Li family finally feel relieved.
