Li Zhen stood in front of Sushun with his head raised and chest raised, with a faint smile on his face.
Sushun looked down upon him, and Li Zhen also looked down upon Sushun.
So, Li Zhen stepped on Sushun hard, making Sushun unable to raise his head in front of him. Li Zhen spread out the imperial edict and stared at the content on it, as if he didn't recognize it. After a while, Li Zhen spoke. The imperial edict was read out, but when Li Zhen read out the imperial edict, he almost paused every word. The imperial edict, which was not long, was read for a long time.
Sushun knelt on the ground, cursed countless times in his heart, and vowed to kill Li Zhen.
Sushun, like Yi, was a talented person in the royal family.
However, Sushun will retaliate and is extremely ruthless in his actions. Anyone who offends him will be retaliated against.
Historically, Sushun's coachman colluded with gangsters in the capital, occupied people's houses, and abducted women. After the incident was revealed, the coachman was arrested by a fifth-rank official from Dali Temple. When the official interrogated the coachman, the coachman was in the lobby. The powerful and submissive forces roared in court and did not pay attention to the officials at all.
When Sushun learned about the incident, he not only did not punish the coachman, but also sent his palace manager to intercede for the coachman. However, the official was a selfless person who acted impartially and did not betray Sushun's face. He punished the coachman with 100 pieces of work according to the law. Out of anger, he soon sent the official to Heilongjiang on the grounds that the criminal proceedings were unclear. On the way, the official was assassinated by Sushun's driver.
Li Zhen didn't know these things, but he understood Sushun's character.
Even though Li Zhenming knew that he would suffer retaliation from Sushun, Li Zhen was not afraid. People should respect me as much as I respect others. This is Li Zhen's principle of doing things. If Sushun is disrespectful to him, Li Zhen will not speak kindly to him. Speak kindly and solemnly.
After Li Zhen read the imperial edict, he said: "Master Sushun, please accept the edict."
Sushun breathed a sigh of relief and stretched out his hands to receive the order.
However, Sushun found that the imperial edict in Li Zhen's hand had not been left for a long time. He was impatient with waiting and was about to get angry when he heard Li Zhen say calmly: "Master Sushun, this is the emperor's favor. Don't you want to express your gratitude?" ."
Sushun almost vomited blood and his teeth itched with hatred.
He kowtowed politely and said, "I thank you for your kindness. Long live my emperor."
With an imperial edict, Sushun was tortured twice by Li Zhen, and one can imagine his mood.
After Li Zhen had had enough trouble, he handed the imperial edict to Sushun. After Sushun stood up, he looked at Li Zhen hatefully before striding back to the queue. Li Zhen glanced at the other officials and said in a deep voice. Said: "The main thing today is to read out the emperor's decree. After the matter is dealt with, except for the auxiliary ministers, the other ministers can leave."
Sushun rolled his eyes and immediately said: "Li Zhen, you are not the auxiliary minister appointed by the emperor, so you should leave quickly. I feel uncomfortable looking at you. We will go to see the empress." "
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Sir Sushun, who told you that I am not the auxiliary minister? The emperor appointed eight auxiliary ministers. You Sushun and the other lords are one of them. I am one of them." I am also one of them. I have been appointed by the emperor. Sir Sushun, do you want to take a look?"
"you……"
Sushun was speechless and stopped talking. Naturally, he would not bother himself by looking at Xianfeng's letter of appointment to Li Zhen, because he was sure that Li Zhen would not dare to lie about such a thing.
Seeing that the auxiliary minister was confirmed, the ministers turned around and prepared to leave.
When Yi saw this, he immediately became anxious. He was Prince Gong of the imperial court and the younger brother of Xianfeng. If he was excluded at this time, he would definitely not have the rights. Even if Yi was not planning to launch a coup now, Yi would still fight for more for himself. What a lot of power. Yi nodded slightly and pointed his eyes at the officials beside him, who immediately conveyed the message.
Instantly, a loud shout sounded: "Wait a minute."
Everyone looked around, but one Hanlin stood up one by one.
When Li Zhen saw someone jumping out, he thought to himself that someone finally came out. This is what should happen. Li Zhen looked at the speaker and asked, "Who are you and what's the matter with you."
The speaker said: "The lower official's name is Dong Yuanchun. I have something to report to the Holy One."
"Dong Yuanchun."
Li Zhen blinked and thought of Dong Yuanchun.
In history, Dong Yuanchun is also a celebrity.
Before Cixi and Prince Gong launched the "Xinyou Coup" to overthrow the eight auxiliary ministers in history, Dong Yuanchun made a special memorial suggesting that Cixi and Ci'an listen to politics behind the curtain, which can be called the first shot at listening to politics behind the curtain. This memorial was strongly rejected by Sushun, but at least Dong Yuanchun showed his face in Cixi's eyes, so that he could be proud of himself later.
Li Zhen asked: "Your Majesty, the dragon body violates the peace. If you have something to say, please tell me directly. I will tell the emperor."
Dong Yuanchun said solemnly: "The emperor's dragon body is against the law, and the prince is young. Now it is time for a pillar in the royal family to stand up to support the overall situation. In my humble opinion, Prince Gong is talented and young, and is suitable to assist the prince. Assist the Emperor."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows. This guy had historically been loyal to Ci Xi, but now he was Yi's man.
When Sushun saw that Youyi was trying to seize power, his anger immediately shifted.
He looked at Dong Yuanchun and cursed loudly: "Dong Yuanchun, the emperor is the emperor of the Holy Ming Dynasty. Since he has issued the imperial edict, why do you need to interrupt? Humph, I see that you are clearly benefiting from Yi, so you dare to be in the main hall." Speaking for Yi, if you question the emperor and disrespect the emperor's will, it is a great disloyalty. Come on, pull Dong Yuanchun down and chop him down."
"Wait a minute."
When it comes to Dong Yuanchun's safety, Yi has to stand up.
If he refuses to save him, I'm afraid no one will work for him. Yi stared at Sushun and said in a deep voice: "Master Sushun, Dong Yuanchun's suggestion is only for the consideration of the emperor and the foundation of our Qing Dynasty. It is because he is worried that you will make mistakes that he makes suggestions. This is to be loyal to the emperor and to the Qing Dynasty. Whoever wants to chop off Dong Yuanchun's head must go through this king first."
Yi stood up to block it, and Sushun suddenly found it difficult to handle.
Li Zhen watched the two people fighting with each other and smiled in his heart. This fight is good. Immediately, Li Zhen said: "In my opinion, since Dong Yuanchun is thinking about the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, spare him." One death, but the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Someone, please pull Dong Yuanchun down and punish the twenty big boards with a cane."
Sushun got off the stage, and it was rare that he did not argue with Li Zhen.
He snorted and stopped talking.
Yi saved Dong Yuanchun's life, and at the same time, he tested the bottom line of Sushun and others through Dong Yuanchun. If he wanted to obtain power, he had to rely on external force. Yi turned around and left, and some officials also followed Yi. Soon, Bai Bai The official resigned from the court, leaving only Li Zhen and the other seven auxiliary ministers.
Sushun glanced at Li Zhen and said in a deep voice: "Let's go and see the emperor's condition."
Li Zhendao: "Wait a minute."
Seeing that he was blocked by Li Zhen again, Su Shun shouted: "What's the matter?" Ever since he saw Li Zhen, everything had gone wrong, and now that he was blocked by Li Zhen again, the anger in his heart immediately burst out.
Li Zhen said: "Go to Chuxiu Palace, there is a big matter that needs to be decided by several people."
Seeing that Sushun wanted to retort, Duanhua said: "Go to Chuxiu Palace first."
Duan Hua agreed, but Su Shun could not refute, so he had to agree. All eight people in his group left the Jinluan Palace and headed towards Chuxiu Palace.
