"Auntie, what do you think of that guy, and the conversation you two just had, I feel a little confused." After walking away, Liu Jiajia asked Liu Sisi.
"This man is quite sophisticated, and he is a little clever. In short, you should have less contact with him." Liu Sisi solemnly asked: "As for the conversation, isn't the meaning very obvious? I think he has just entered the court, so he should not be too sharp. The so-called Mu Xiu
In the forest, the wind will destroy it, and if you try to persuade him with good words, he will not listen."
Liu Jiajia said as if she had some realization.
Shangshu Mansion.
Li Xiaotian had been lying down due to injuries for several days, and his hands and feet had long been suffocated. No, as soon as he entered the house, he went directly to the backyard where he practiced martial arts. He practiced the Shenxing Bu Hunyuan Quan for an hour. Not to mention, this trip,
The two battles have made both Shen Xing Bu and Hunyuan Quan quite advanced. Especially in Shen Xing Bu, the body technique has reached the beginning of micro-strength. Hunyuan Quan's second luck can also connect the five major meridians, and the second level of dark strength has been achieved.
Super real punch bombardment.
While resting, Li Xiaotian thought about the Xuanru sword technique that he had collected, and then he began to concentrate on reading the sword techniques obtained by fate.
Xuanru swordsmanship is quite mysterious. It is a set of unpredictable swordsmanship based on Bagua. It is divided into eight styles. Those who have mastered it can master all the styles. They are exquisite and can surprise the enemy.
life.
After spending an hour studying, Li Xiaotian memorized the moves of the sword technique in his mind, then took out the long sword and began to dance the sword according to the gourd pattern, sometimes pausing and sometimes moving. Since it was his first time to use the sword, there were many movements.
With no one to guide him, it was difficult to reach the standard. Li Xiaotian was a person who strived for perfection, so he could only repeat it over and over again until it was completely consistent with what was stated in the book. It took him nearly an hour to just barely manage to do it.
After performing the first move, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, as expected, shit is hard to eat and hard to practice.
The next day, all the officials arrived in the palace hall. Yang Qianren was sitting at attention, and Li Xiaotian was also standing under the stage.
"When there is something to do, start the court, and when there is nothing to do, leave the court."
Yang Qianren said, his tone was a little lazy. Obviously, he knew that this morning court meeting would not end so easily. It would inevitably involve a verbal battle. Fortunately, he was not the one who was wasting his words, so he could just watch the show.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Ma Yushi couldn't wait to come out and said: "Your Majesty, I had a bet with Lu Shangshu in front of the Main Hall. If he fails to complete the increase in the national treasury, it means that he is incompetent to be the Hubu Shangshu."
However, as far as I know, he has not completed the goal of increasing the national treasury. Therefore, I feel that he is no longer qualified to stand in the palace, let alone shamelessly wear the official uniform of a minister."
After Ma Hu finished speaking, Yang Qianren was not in a hurry to comment, but continued to ask: "Is there anything else?"
At this time, the Minister of Libu stood up and reported: "According to the investigation, Cao Qing, the governor of Pianzhou, was killed by Lu Shangshu, who is still called the Minister of Hubu. Although the governor of Pianzhou was corrupt,
It's a mistake, but after all, it was His Majesty who personally reinstated him to the second-rank official position. Even if he committed a heinous crime, according to the law, it should be decided by His Majesty. However, Lu Shangshu beheaded first and then reported it. It was simply lawless and contemptuous of the holy authority.
The crime is punishable."
After Yang Qianren listened, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "Is there anything else you want to play?"
At this moment, another important minister came out of the queue and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Lu Shangshu ransacked the house very quickly. He is known as the King of Hell who seeks money. The amount of money is huge, but not a cent has been entered into the national treasury. I have reason to suspect that it is."
He is probably the biggest embezzler because he has enriched his own pockets."
Despite the anger of the officials, Yang Qianren remained indifferent and just said to Li Xiaotian: "Lu Shangshu, what do you have to say?"
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged." Li Xiaotian came out slowly, bowed slightly and continued: "First of all, I did steal a lot of stolen money from those corrupt officials, but these are all the blood and sweat of ordinary people.
Money is ill-gotten wealth. As the saying goes, it is taken from the people and used for the people. What's more, it is still abused by the people, so it should be returned to the people. In order to show your majesty's love for the people, I will return all the stolen money to the states.
People, people are all grateful to Your Majesty. If you don't believe it, you can go to all the states and cities to check and find out everything. I, Lu Mou, have not been ignorant of a single thing. It is okay to say that I am using stolen money, but it is not okay to accuse me of enriching my own pockets.
; Secondly, Pianzhou Cao Qing was unrepentant. After he was released from prison, he intensified his behavior, colluded with gangs, harmed the people, insulted the grace of God, and died unjustly. It is true that I will kill him first and then report him. However, I have this right because I have your Majesty's imperial gift.
Gold medal; finally, the bet with Ma Yushi, on the surface, I lost, but in fact, Ma Yushi did not win."
Ma Yushi sneered: "Losing means losing, winning means winning. What do you mean if you lose and I don't win? Could it be that Lu Shangshu cannot afford to lose?"
"No. Every time I copy a state, I will report it to Your Majesty. The total amount of stolen money in these states is nearly ten million. I know that as long as I can bring these stolen money back to Kyoto, enter it into the treasury, and fight with Ma Yushi
I will definitely win the bet. Ma Yushi is determined to open up wasteland and fertile land. However, along the way, I have seen too much suffering in the world and the stolen money in my hands makes me sleepless. These are all taken from the people by corrupt officials.
If hard-earned money, or even life-saving money, is handed over to the national treasury like this, to be honest, my conscience will not be at ease. In front of the people of the world, any face or bet is not worth mentioning. So, Ma Yushi, you
Do you still think you won?" Li Xiaotian asked, directly placing the mountain of Liming people on his head.
Ma Yushi's face looked solemn. After a moment, he said: "If what Lu Shangshu said is true and all the stolen money is returned to the people, I, Ma Hu, am not the kind of person who can't distinguish between right and wrong. I will discuss the matter based on the facts. I will definitely settle this bet."
We didn’t win, but Lu Shangshu didn’t lose either.”
"Everything Lu Shangshu said and did was reported in memorials. I can vouch for this. Sirs, if you have any questions, just ask them." Yang Qianren intervened to serve as a witness.
When the officials heard this, they looked at each other. His Majesty had already understood the whole story. He had already made a clear decision in his heart. He had just struck Loneliness with three big axes. The ministers knew the holy intention. In addition, Li Xiaotian had just
The explanation made sense, and everyone was silent and did not dare to say anything.
Yang Qianren continued: "I have asked what I need to ask, and I have said everything I need to say. Now you should all be enlightened. I finally don't have to read your indignant remonstrance. In short, this matter has come to an end.
Eunuch Liu, declare the decree."
When everyone heard this, they all bowed their hands and prepared to listen to the order. Eunuch Liu said sharply: "Lu Shiba, patrolling sixteen states, anti-corruption party, acted vigorously and bravely, and greatly eliminated the unhealthy atmosphere in the officialdom. In the process of doing things,
Although there is a suspicion of going out of line, there are reasons for the incident, he is devoted to the interests of the people, and he has excellent conduct. He is a rare talent, so he has been transferred from the deputy minister of the household department to the official minister of the household department. I admire this."
