Chapter 149 Was General
As soon as Li Xiu left, Gao Lishi hurriedly returned from Xingqing Palace.
Gao Lishi brought bad news to Li Longji. Li Chengqi firmly opposed the suspension of Niu Xianke's power on the grounds that it was unruly.
Li Longji stopped Niu Xianke's prime minister's right, which was really unruly. According to the agreement they reached at the beginning, whether the Prime Minister of the Political Affairs Hall was suspended or dismissed, the emperor and the regent would need to make a joint decision.
When Lee Longji stopped Niu Xianke, although Lee Ho was there, Lee Ho was not the Regent after all. He just attended the court meeting on behalf of the Regent, and the Regent's seal was still in the hands of Lee Sung-qi.
Therefore, Li Longji unilaterally suspended Niu Xianke's rights and was indeed unruly.
At this time, Li Longji also realized that the power of the Niu Xianke was a bit too hasty.
This matter should be communicated with Li Chengqi first. Even if Niu Xianke can't stop his rights, he can still get other benefits from Li Chengqi.
Now Li Longji is a little difficult to issue a tiger. Jun Wu jokes. His imperial edict has been issued. Should he take it back?
It’s not that Li Chengqi didn’t know that maybe his purpose was to take back the imperial edict and to attack his prestige in the court.
Li Longji was a little angry. Didn’t Li Chengqi know that it was against the ruler to let the emperor decree?
Li Longji stood in front of the window and said nothing.
Gao Lishi didn't say anything, he could feel the embarrassment of the emperor at this time.
The emperor was indeed a little "unscrupulous" in the past two months and did not take the seriously ill Li Chengqi seriously at all.
So much so that Li Chengqi suddenly counterattacked, and Li Longji was obviously caught off guard, angry and embarrassed, and he didn't know how to deal with it?
Gao Lishi's role is here. He is a bystander and can see through the critical moments more thoroughly than Li Longji.
"Your Majesty, the person who tied the bell must untie it!"
Li Longji was stunned. He thought for a while and said, "Thirty-eight Lang?"
That's right, this bell was tied to Thirty-Balang, but... can he solve it?
"Do you think he can do it?"
"Your Majesty, I know Thirty-Balang very well. He almost didn't say a word in the second half of the court meeting today. I was intuition that he must have a backup plan."
Li Longji pondered for a moment and nodded, "You go find him!"
.........
The cages of more than a dozen trucks were piled up in the atrium, with hundreds of boxes.
These are the wealth of Li Xiu's house being confiscated when he dismissed the prince last year, and now it has been returned to him.
"What is this pair of porcelain bottles mine?" Li Xiu looked through the cages with great enthusiasm. He found a pair of fine porcelains for official kilns.
Soon he discovered that more than one pair of porcelains were found, and dozens of exquisite official kiln porcelains were used.
There are also jade, gold, lacquerware, etc., gold, silver and copper coins alone are worth hundreds of thousands of stagnants.
Not only Li Xiu was interested in "his own" things, but Yang Yuhuan, Yang Yupei and Gongsun Xiaomei were also very interested.
Especially Gongsun Xiaomei, there are several boxes in it that should be her belongings. She was searched and taken away. Now she has been returned, how can she not be excited?
But she couldn't find it, and the boxes all looked the same. Unless they opened them, it would be difficult for her to find her own belongings.
Gongsun Xiaomei flipped through the boxes for twenty or thirty times but couldn't find anything about him.
She was a little anxious and shouted, "Yu Pei, please help me find it. The box full of red silk may be mine."
"Xiaomei, the cage is full of colorful silk. Can you be sure which one is yours?"
Xiaomei then realized that more than 200 large boxes were bundles of colorful silk and satin, and she was stunned.
At this time, Li Xiu smiled and said, "We will move tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. Don't open them now. After moving the new house, you will clean up slowly and you will definitely find your box.
Gongsun Xiaomei thought about it and had to forget it.
At this time, Zhong Kui walked over quickly and said, "Your Highness, Eunuch Gao is here!"
When Li Xiu turned around, Gao Lishi walked in with a smile, and he hurriedly met him.
"Why is Mr. Gao coming?"
"Let's see you!"
Gao Lishi pointed to the box full of the yard and smiled, "Do you think it's much more than before?"
Li Xiu said vaguely: "I have forgotten how many there were before, and it seems that there are a lot more."
"The emperor rewards you with extra extra rewards, half to half."
"So that's it. Mr. Gao asked to sit in the house!"
The two came to the living room to sit down. Gao Lishi took out half of the jade pendant and handed it to Li Xiu, "This is a reward for doing the mission, a total of 60,000 yuan, including 50,000 yuan in Beiting mission and 10,000 yuan in Hexi's arrest of Liu Feiteng, a penny is worth you."
"I will only give you ten thousand official money by catching Liu Feiteng?"
"Although the reward for grabbing Liu Feiteng is not much, only 10,000 yuan, it is a purple mission, the kind that can be promoted to a title, and there are many members of the royal family who are interested in it."
At this time, Li Xiu suddenly remembered something and asked, "Mr. Gao, did I do two purple missions or did I really restore my title?"
“You have both!”
Gao Lishi smiled faintly, "You were a marquis before, and it would be difficult for the marquis to restore the title of the prince, but if you are a county duke, it would be much easier to restore the title. You are actually promoted to the county duke first, and then restore the county duke from the county duke."
"Why not just promoted to prince?" Li Xiu asked suddenly.
"You want to be promoted to prince?" Gallic said with a meaningful smile.
Li Xiu nodded, "My brothers are all princes, and their mother is not a concubine. My mother is one of the nine concubines. Logically, I should be named a prince."
"That's because you performed poorly since childhood, and it has nothing to do with your qualifications, but I believe that as long as the emperor completely restores the imperial power, it will be the time when you are promoted to prince."
Speaking of this, Gao Lishi sighed, "Today, the emperor stopped Niu Xianke's prime minister's power, which was a bit hasty. He was strongly opposed by the Regent. According to the rules set fifteen years ago, the two parties must agree to stop the prime minister's power and stamp it. But this time it was the emperor's unilateral decision, so it violated the rules."
"But the sacred edict has been issued!"
"The problem is here. The emperor has ordered the cessation of Niu Xianke's power, and then the regent will firmly oppose it and demand the revocation of the order. Once the order is forced to be revoked, it will be a major blow to the emperor's reputation in the court."
"Is there any way for the father to solve it?"
"The only way for your father to do is to exchange and compromise, but the loss will be huge. The emperor asked me to ask you, you are the initiator of this matter, see if you have any solutions?"
"Mr. Gao really asked the right person!"
Gao Lishi was excited, "How do you say this?"
"At noon today, Niu Xianke ordered the plaintiff Wang Kun to be killed. When he sent his men to transport the bodies outside the city to throw them away, he was arrested by my warrior on the spot. It can be said that everyone, physical evidence and evidence are complete."
"Your Highness means..."
"What I mean is that Niu Xianke committed the crime of murder and the evidence is conclusive. The father can ask the Regent to remove Niu Xianke from the position of Prime Minister for murder. As for who will replace the Prime Minister, it will take the two sides to discuss it. There will be no problem with discussing for a year or two. Isn't that still the Four Prime Ministers?"
Gao Lishi was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Where is the evidence of your highness?"
"In Wannian County, Mr. Gao must hurry up and don't let the Regent take the lead!"
.........
Niu Xianke realized in the afternoon that something was wrong. First, he went to throw away Wang Kun's subordinates and did not come back for a long time. Secondly, he received a secret letter sent by Yang Hong, the chief clerk of Wannian County. His subordinates were caught by Cui Chang and his body was also seized.
This news immediately made Niu Xianke jump up. What is a corpse? He just ordered to break his legs and throw him out of Chang'an. How did he turn into a corpse?
He hurriedly summoned the servants to inquire. Under his coercion, several servants hesitated to tell the truth. They did break Wang Kun's legs, but they did not break them two or three sticks, but only after more than fifty sticks.
In other words, Wang Kun was beaten to pieces and was injured and finally broke his legs. No wonder he turned into a corpse and was completely beaten to death.
Niu Xian was so polite that he was furious. He knew that the consequences were very serious, so he simply tied up several servants who were executed and took them to the county government to surrender, leaving his responsibilities cleared.
