Chapter 148: The Partition Has Eyes
Li Feng knelt on the ground and was scolded like a storm by his father.
Today's court meeting was on the surface that Niu Xianke failed to challenge Li Xiu, but in fact it was a defeat by the Regent. Li Linfu just asked symbolically, and Han Xiu didn't say a word.
In the end, Niu Xianke was taken by Li Longji to stop the power of the prime minister for half a year.
At this time, Li Wen should have stood up and argued with reason. He could punish Niu Xianke severely from other aspects, but he could not stop his authority.
But Li Feng did not do this, nor did he lead Li Linfu and Han Xiu to fight back, and watched the situation of the Political Affairs Hall change.
How could Li Chengqi not be angry?
Since the Luoyang case, Li Longji has always wanted to open up the situation in the political affairs hall. He first proposed a balanced system, that is, the two sides are in a consistent manner, but Li Chengqi opposed it because it did not conform to the ancestral system.
Li Longji then proposed the seven-phase system, but was opposed by Li Chengqi. With Li Longji currently having the upper hand, he would definitely suffer a great loss by rashly changing the political affairs hall structure.
But Li Chengqi never dreamed that Li Longji opened a gap from the prince and successfully stopped Niu Xianke's prime minister's authority, and the five phases became four phases.
Once a resolution cannot reach a consensus in the Political Affairs Hall, a military and political discussion will be held. Li Longji has the upper hand in the Military and Political Council, and eventually Li Longji has the power to the Political Affairs Hall.
This is why Li Chengqi refused to agree to a balanced rule.
"How could I have such an incompetent son as you!"
Li Chengqi scolded and said with a heartbroken heart: "Why don't you stand up and oppose it? At most, such a small thing is just that Niu Xianke was deceived. How can he stop the power of the prime minister? Do you know what it means to stop the power of the prime minister? From then on, the Political Affairs Hall will be controlled by Li Longji. What's the use of you, the Regent?"
Li Feng Zhan said tremblingly: "Father calm down. The fundamental reason for this incident is that Niu Xianke secretly colluded with Li Mao. He did not discuss with us. We were not prepared at all, so we were caught off guard."
"Don't explain to me. The four-to-three pattern of the Political Affairs Hall has been maintained for fifteen years, ensuring that the Regent has the upper hand in the court. Once this pattern is broken, military and political affairs will be held every day in the future. Do you think we still have a chance?"
"If the father does not agree to stop the filming, he can object because the child does not know the rules. If he takes a step back, he will only stop the filming for half a year, and it is not a permanent stop."
Liu Fengting, the general manager of Xingqing Palace next to him, also advised: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, take care of yourself!"
Li Chengqi also felt dizzy and his eyes turned black.
He quickly restrained his anger and said to Liu Fengting: "You go and invite Gao Lishi, just say I have something important."
"Old slave obeys the order!"
Liu Fengting left, and Li Chengqi said to Li Guan again: "When Gao Lishi comes, you tell me that you can punish Niu Xianke in other ways, but the power to stop the prime minister cannot be stopped. This will affect the operation of the Zhengshi Hall. I just say I firmly oppose it!"
............
Niu Xianke returned to the mansion with anger and immediately ordered someone to find Wang Kun.
Soon, Wang Kun was taken to the atrium, and Niu Xianke stood on the steps and pointed at him and shouted angrily: "You bastard, you dare to deceive me. Do you want to kill me?"
Wang Kun was so scared that he knelt down and said tremblingly: "The villain has ten thousand courages and dare not deceive the prime minister!"
"You didn't lie to me? Tell me, your uncle was in a hurry to leave Luoyang, so he sold the restaurant and asked Li Xiu to get a big advantage. But why didn't you say, why did your uncle rush to leave Luoyang?"
"My uncle said that he offended Luo Ying, a powerful man in Luoyang."
"Fuck!" Niu Xianke angrily shouted: "It's because King Xue wants to buy a Beijing Baijiu restaurant at a low price. No one dares to take over your uncle's price, so why don't you say it?"
"I...I don't know much."
Niu Xianke grabbed his clothes and asked viciously: "Do you dare to say you don't know?"
Wang Kun knew that if King Xue didn't die, he would not dare to ask for a restaurant even if he gave him a hundred courage. It was because King Xue died and Luo Ying died, and there was no evidence that he dared to come to ask for a restaurant. Even if the restaurant could not come back, Li Xiu would compensate the difference of tens of thousands of yuan.
Otherwise, the restaurant with a price of 200,000 yuan would be sold for 30,000 yuan, and he would not be able to swallow this tone.
Wang Kun's face changed so much that he couldn't speak for a long time.
Niu Xianke was furious. He pushed Wang Kun to the ground heavily and ordered coldly: "Break his legs and pull them out of the city and throw them away!"
Wang Kun kowtowed desperately and begged: "Prime Minister, please spare your life, let the villain go!"
"Drag it on and fight!"
Several servants dragged Wang Kun down like a ferocious spirit. Soon after, Wang Kun's wailing sound came. Niu Xianke returned to the lobby in anger.
A quarter of an hour later, a carriage drove out of the Niu Mansion. Pei Min waved his hand and several subordinates got on the horse and followed the carriage from afar.
The carriage drove out of the city, came to a place where no one was left, threw a bloody man off the carriage, and then turned around and left.
When the carriage walked away, Pei Min turned over and got off the horse, looked at the man on the ridge of the field, and saw that he was covered in blood and was already dying, and he was unable to survive.
"What did you say?"
Wang Kun's breath was extremely weak, and he said two words in his throat, "Gao Pun!"
His eyes gradually faded.
Pei Min immediately made a decision: "Catch up with the carriage and seize the carriage and the people in the carriage!"
He found two passers-by to report the case to the government, and he himself followed the carriage with his subordinates.
.........
Most of the hour later, the Wannian County Magistrate Cui Chang led a large number of yamen runners to the accident site. The surroundings were filled with people watching the fun. Wang Kun had already died. His body was wrapped in a mat and placed on the ridge of the field.
A carriage was parked not far away. Two men with kids and coachmen were tied with their hands on the back, their heads were covered with cloth pockets, and they sat on the ground dejectedly.
Cui Chang walked forward, and a warrior bowed and said, "We have caught the carriage and the person who threw the body on the spot."
Cui Chang was quite complicated in his heart. In fact, he also thought that Niu Xianke would punish Wang Kun severely, but he was not as sensitive as Li Xiu and sent someone to monitor Niu Xianke's mansion, but Li Xiu did it.
Niu Xianke killed ordinary civilians, and all the evidences were there. Niu Xianke was in trouble now.
"Thank you all!"
Cui Chang waved his hand and ordered his opponent: "Take all the criminals and carriages back to the county government!"
The yamen runners stepped forward to take over the three tied criminals and brought them back to the county yamen together with the carriage and the body.
.........
Li Xiu entered a busy period and restored the king's throne. He had a lot of things to do.
Although he doesn't need to run errands in himself, such as the various procedures of the Ministry of Personnel and Zongzheng Temple, there are still many things that he needs to do by himself.
For example, in the palace, he wants to thank the emperor, which is the most important thing.
Li Longji met this son in the imperial study room.
Li Longji's mood was also very complicated. His father liked his youngest son, but he never liked this son very much. He liked Li Mao even more. Li Xiu was stupid since childhood, didn't like studying, and couldn't practice martial arts. He was also greedy for money, so he could be said to be useless.
On the contrary, Li Mao, the Eighteen-Law, has been smart since childhood, has a talent for studying, and is very good at pleasing people. He is deeply loved by Li Longji.
But now it is the opposite. Li Mao is short-sighted and simple-minded. Not only can he not help himself, he causes trouble and harms his own interests, so that Li Longji dislikes him more and more.
Li Xiu, the youngest son who was not optimistic, made Li Longji look at him more and more. It can be said that his big breakthrough this year was entirely due to his younger son. He has not seen it for so many years.
"Xiuer, although the restaurant is indisputable, try to do less of such misunderstandings. After all, it is difficult for ordinary people to understand such things, and they will only spread rumors and affect their reputation."
"I understand that after this incident, I will not make the same mistake again."
"It's good that you understand. This time you restore the king's title is a reward for you, but it is also a correction of past mistakes. You will give you what you should give, but I don't want you to lose your fighting spirit from now on and start to enjoy it on the title. I hope you are the same as before. Does the emperor understand what I mean?"
"My son's heart is like a mirror!"
Li Longji nodded with satisfaction, and he pondered for a moment: "Your uncle is in poor health during this period. If you have time, go and visit him. After all, you are a junior!"
Li Xiu was so smart that he understood immediately. This was the real reason why his father summoned him. After the Yuan family was over, he pulled himself back and continued to deal with the Regent.
Li Xiu didn't say much, nodded and said, "I will go to visit my uncle tomorrow. If my father has nothing else to do, I will sue you!"
"Go! Go and see your mother more when you have time."
