"this……"

Both of them hesitated.

To be honest, this Ma Jiyuan has nothing to do with them, and it is not necessary to protect him.

If you just want to kill him, you still have to go through the three-law department and go through the process, right?

Now there is only a piece of edict, and he is beheaded on the spot. It is extremely inappropriate in every aspect, and it will have some very bad effects...

Seeing that the two of them were still hesitating, Li Qian frowned.

This doesn't make sense, it seems like the only way to do it is to make bigger moves?

"Alas~"

He sighed quietly: "Tell the truth to the two Qings, but don't tell others after the two Qings leave this place."

The two of them subconsciously refused. It would be better not to listen to such words. If they did, something would easily happen.

But Li Qian didn't give them a chance to refuse, but said directly: "This Ma Jiyuan, he wants to assassinate me."

"Ah?!" Both of them were startled and looked at Li Qian in shock.

"Your Majesty..." Heshen's lips trembled and he couldn't help but ask: "Ma Jiyuan..."

Did he hide poison in the memorial?

However, in order to ensure the safety of His Majesty the Emperor and the prime ministers, the memorials submitted were copied by the General Affairs Department, and the transcripts were sent up, but they were originally left in the General Affairs Department!

Li Qian's face was heavy and he said, "This person has very vicious intentions!"

"He deceived me in the memorial and made me write the wrong Zhu Pi."

"When I was reminded by Prime Minister Qin and discovered this mistake, I was so ashamed and angry that I almost contracted a brain disease and died!"

"Two nobles, do you think this is an attempt to assassinate me?"

He Shen and Yan Song were both dumbfounded. It turned out to be this.

Your Majesty, you are so angry. You were almost angered to death by him?

Yan Song considered his words for a moment, and just as he was about to say something, Li Qian spoke again: "Of course, I trust the two Qing family members, so I told you such an embarrassing thing."

"When you leave here, don't spread the word everywhere. I won't admit it, and I will settle the score with you!"

Yan Song immediately suppressed his words.

You are so shameless, what else can I do?

He Shen also opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.

Li Qian smiled again and said: "I have always believed that God is good at living, and I don't want to commit more evils."

"Although Ma Jiyuan wants to assassinate me, I still don't want to involve his family. I just kill him and stop there. Is this considered merciful?"

"Forget it...forget it..."

The two nodded absently, saying that they had never seen such a shameless person.

Li Qian nodded: "In this way, I can be regarded as taking a step back."

"Both of you are ministers that I rely on. I have never only regarded you two as ministers, but also as close friends."

No, no, please don't introduce me.

Let’s just be kings and ministers honestly!

"Your Majesty, the righteousness between monarch and minister is the most important thing. If we treat relatives and friends as equals..."

Just as Yan Song wanted to explain clearly, Li Qian interrupted: "Now that someone wants to assassinate me, I have already taken a step back. Aren't you still willing to help me do this?"

It's over, I'm cornered.

His Majesty the Emperor has begun to act shady. If he doesn't show any face, I'm afraid something will really happen.

I have just seen His Majesty the Emperor's shamelessness, what if he has an even more shameless trick?

Prime Minister Yan was originally unwilling to offend him, but now that he heard this, he no longer planned to persist.

He continued smoothly: "If you refer to yourself as a relative or a friend, it will further show your Majesty's concern for your subjects and your close friendship."

"Your Majesty is so kind to your Majesty, Lord He. I believe that Lord He will be able to overcome all difficulties and do his best for Your Majesty."

Anyway, this is an errand for He Shen. Yan Song said, I will not interfere with your decision-making.

He Shen's eyes were as wide as those of a buffalo, and he turned to stare at Yan Song.

Yan Laoji, I will fuck your brother!

"good!"

Li Qian smiled happily and said: "Since I have agreed with the Qing family, that's good!"

He Shen turned to look at His Majesty the Emperor:???

Did I agree?

"Don't wait, the food is almost cold."

Li Qian smiled and greeted the two of them: "Hurry up and eat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yan Song had been waiting for a long time.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." He Shen had no choice but to agree, even if he was extremely reluctant. Both of them were like this, so how could they not agree?

He picked up a chopstick of crispy and tender tripe from the porcelain plate and put it into his mouth. It felt like chewing wax and had no taste.

But suddenly, Li Qian's voice came from above again.

"Heqing's family, after you go there, you can go through all the corrupt and illegal things that Ma Jiyuan did in the past. In this case, it will be logical to kill him."

"But this requires you to waste some energy. I am not willing to do this kind of thing to settle old scores."

He Shen trembled when he heard this and looked up in disbelief.

Li Qian looked at him with a smile, an expression you know.

He Shen clutched his sleeves tightly and couldn't control the expression on his face. He wanted to stand up, but then he reacted and just lowered his head and said: "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Although Yan Song didn't have such a reaction, his hands trembled and he almost put a chopstick of coriander into his nostrils.

There is no corrupt official who is not afraid of old scores being revealed.

Even if you are extremely powerful now, what if it will decline one day in the future?

In Daqian, only the emperor and the princes were lifelong and could serve for a lifetime. Any other officials would retire one day and become officials, and they were all afraid of the day when they would lose their rights and be liquidated.

If it can be applied to local officials, if we extrapolate further, there is a high probability that it can be applied to court officials.

Therefore, neither of them said anything about settling Ma Jiyuan's old debt just now, just because they didn't want His Majesty the Emperor to think of them.

But who would have expected that His Majesty the Emperor had already thought of this, but he just never said it.

But now he actually said that he is unwilling to settle old scores! Does this mean that His Majesty the Emperor will not pursue the previous corruption and bribery?

This is what makes Heshen most excited!!

You won't be liquidated. What a great privilege is this?

Wouldn't it be possible to be unscrupulous in the future... Well, it doesn't seem possible.

Based on His Majesty's temperament, if he goes too far, he might turn against him and refuse to acknowledge his fault.

But on the other hand, if it’s just normal greed, wouldn’t it be fine?

With Li Qian's promise, half of the big stone that had been hanging in He Shen's heart was put down.

Jun Wu said, as long as he is not too greedy, or even less greedy, he probably won't settle old scores...right?

Yan Song on the other side was a little more uneasy than him.

Does this person who wants to settle old scores include him, Yan Song?

Although Prime Minister Yan considers himself an upright official, the gossip outside is still very scary.

Sometimes rumors can destroy a person. Yan Song feels that he is worthy of his conscience, but Yan Shifan seems to have done a lot of immoral things...

Therefore, Prime Minister Yan actually really wanted to get this promise not to settle old scores.

But, were His Majesty the Emperor's words only addressed to Heshen, or did they include him?

I have always cherished the importance of food. Today I finally had a royal banquet, and for the first time I felt that the food was tasteless.

After dinner, Li Qian sent the two of them out of Ziwei Palace and said goodbye with a smile: "Have a good trip to your family."

"I am in the capital, waiting for you two to return in triumph!"

"I will live up to His Majesty's expectations and will wholeheartedly help His Majesty to relieve the victims..."

This time, the attitude of the two of them was much more positive than before, and Yan Song looked eagerly at His Majesty the Emperor, hoping that he could give him accurate information.

It was just as if Li Qian couldn't see anything, he smiled and turned around and left.

Yan Song felt even more uneasy. Is it there or not?
