The Emperor ordered Zhao Tang

Chapter 6 Want to Get Out of the Cage

"Where are you talking about?"

Ximen Chongsui stroked his chin and said, "Appoint Li Shunjie as the governor of Huazhou? This fellow is arrogant and rude. Isn't Prime Minister Du afraid that he will turn against his will and become like Li Maozhen after he arrives in the town? You must know that Li Maozhen was a halberd-bearing general of the previous emperor who was sent out!"

Li Ye couldn't help but find it funny. How could he have the nerve to say that others were rude?
But it makes sense.

In his early years, Li Maozhen was a soldier under the jurisdiction of the Chengde Jiedushi. He was sent to Guanzhong to defend against the Autumn Festival. During the Chaos Rebellion, he defected to Ximen Sigong, the military supervisor of Fengxiang, and then joined the Shen Ce Army. The previous emperor sent him to Yue and appointed him as the vanguard to protect the emperor. After pacifying Li Changfu, Fengxiang was given to this guy.

The lessons of history are well known.

"Besides..." Ximen Zhongsui groaned for a moment: "Han Jian's military strength is not bad, and he is also a good ruler. People praise him. If we rashly move the town, I'm afraid it will cause trouble."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something unpleasant, and immediately turned hostile, slamming the table and shouting, "I forgot! This thief has many supporters. If we send envoys everywhere to intercede for him, he will definitely refuse the imperial edict and will not accept the replacement! Well, let Li Shunjie fight him. They are all bad guys, so it doesn't matter who dies!"

By the way, the incompetence of Li Ye as a Genshin Impact player was revealed at this moment. If you asked him to be humble and cowardly, he could do it, and he could also lower his status and win people's hearts, and he could even use some tricks like in movies and TV dramas, but if you really asked him to deal with politics... especially issues that could cause a huge disaster and cause a bunch of people to lose their heads if he was not careful... he would not dare to say anything.

What if this evil slave's words come true, and Han Jian unites with his allies to resist the emperor and threaten the court, causing another disaster? The evil slaves have soldiers to protect themselves, but what about their own family? Where can they run?

I don’t know where the imperial carriage will go from now on.
"Shunjie...his crime is not this serious." Thinking of this, Li Ye started to cover for Li Shunjie.

Ximen Chongsui looked very unhappy, and squinted his eyes as he looked at Li Ye: "If we don't find a place to put this guy, there will be no peace!"

"not necessarily."

The "master" and the servant looked at each other for a few moments, and Ximen Zhongsui clapped his hands. Just as he was about to say something, a loud shout came from outside the hall.

"What crime have I committed!" Li Shunjie strode into the hall surrounded by soldiers.

One hand on the hilt of the sword.

The person being dragged by one hand made Li Ye swallow his saliva. The person being dragged like a dead dog was none other than the eunuch Liang Yuan who had humiliated him!

Before Li Ye could feel satisfied, Li Shunjie did something that caught Li Ye off guard - with a sharp weapon in his hand, without saying a word, he chopped off Liang Yuan's head with a sword in full view of everyone and in front of a group of eunuchs.

The head rolled to the front of Li Ye's seat, and blood splattered all over Prime Minister Du Rangneng's face.

However, except for Li Ye who stood up and dodged subconsciously, everyone else in the hall, including the court officials, did not show any sign of fear.

What on earth have these guys seen?
"This bastard is a member of Yang's gang, and he sent it to Ximen Gongjian as a gift!" Li Shunjie shook the blood off his sword and swept it across the faces of the emperor, the eunuchs, and the prime minister one by one: "The general has allowed me to be the governor! I want to seek a large town, you guys see where is convenient!"

Li Ye was speechless, and a thought came to his mind: I have not yet integrated into this era!
The second year of Dashun, September 20th.

The emperor ordered Li Shunjie, the envoy of Tianwei Army, to be the governor of Huazhou.

"Disaster star..."

In a loft in the Purple Palace, Li Ye put down his sword. His sickly body had put an end to his desire to risk his life. Ximen Zhongsui was as strong as a bull, and a slap in the face would make him dizzy and unable to get up.

"Your name is 'Die'?"

He then looked at the female imperial concubines around him, each with different styles.

"My humble name is." 'Die'er' answered while kneeling opposite.

"Who is this person? What's his full name?"

"Nameless, picked up by Concubine Shu, from unknown background, fourteen years old." "My full name is Sima Lan, a book companion of Lady Hedong, from Jinyang County, Beijing, nineteen years old."

"She is the adopted daughter of the eunuch Liu Jishu, hence her surname Liu, and she is 23 years old."

"..."

The ingredients are complicated. Why do I feel like they are all spies here to monitor me?

Then he looked at the two eunuchs in black at the door. They looked mature, about 27 or 28 years old. The reason why Li Ye asked about these two eunuchs was that after Li Shunjie rescued them from Zi Ting Courtyard last night, only these two came to pick them up.

rare.

"To everyone, I am Liu Zipi, a servant, 25 years old. I am from Qi. I was captured by the bandits and taken to the army to be a cook. When the king's army captured Chang'an, I was found guilty and castrated."

Oh, so he was a child laborer in the canteen of Huang Chao’s army. Was this kind of minion also convicted by the authorities?

"To all the lords, I am Xiao Feng, a servant from Lanling. I am 29 years old. When the rebellion of King Xiang was quelled, the fake prime minister Xiao was beheaded at Mount Qishan. I was also a fake official, so I was castrated."

"Xiao's son?"

Li Ye was a little shocked this time, as it reminded him of an old story.

In the second year of Guangqi, Zhu Mei rebelled and caused another migration. Prince Xuan of the Successor Xiang, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Suzong, was ill and could not follow the emperor. Zhu Mei captured Tian Lingzi and took him back to Fengxiang. Zhu Mei thought that Tian Lingzi was by the emperor's side and could not leave. She said to the prime minister, Duke of Chu, Xiao Ke, "There are still many descendants of the Li family!"

Yu said, "The Lord has not committed any serious crime. The fault lies with Lingzi, and everyone knows that. It is a heavy matter to depose and enthronize a ruler, and I dare not obey your order!"

Mei came out and declared: "I will establish a king from the Li family, and anyone who dares to dissent will be killed!"

He was then tied up and put on a pirate ship, and on the 25th day of the third month of the third year of the Guangqi reign, Xiao Ke was beheaded at Qishan.

This was one of the few prime ministers in the Tang Dynasty who died by beheading. The reason why Xiao Feng was castrated and sent to the palace is clear.

"Who are you... Duke of Chu?"

"Young Master." When Xiao Feng heard Li Ye's name, a strange look flashed in his eyes.

However, this also made Li Ye remember these two eunuchs firmly.

A child laborer in Huang Chao's army.

He is from a prominent family, Xiao, and the youngest son of the Duke of Chu. If there had been no national crisis, he would have already passed the imperial examination. Why would he be working like a slave here?

No wonder he was rejected by the eunuchs.

However, this also shows that these two people have a clean background in the palace.

As if by some strange coincidence, Li Ye kept repeating: "The mountains and rivers are filled with tears, who says the world is wide?"

Except for Die'er, everyone present looked thoughtful.

Xiao Feng looked down at the floor, glancing at the saint out of the corner of his eye: A man in a cage, trying to get out.
