Chapter 536 Nangong commits suicide by catching a tiger, Li Nuo is invited to tea
Li Nuo behaved in a very high-profile manner and took the first place among the military attaches, alongside Cui Wuhui, the head of the civil service.
Stepping into the Taiqing Hall, the people on the left and the people on the right lined up on both sides.
As soon as he met Emperor Jingtai's gaze, Li Nuo could feel the joy from Emperor Jingtai's heart.
His familiar Highness the King of Qin is finally back!
"Long live my emperor, long live me."
"I love you so much."
After the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, the court meeting got down to business with the young eunuch singing the promise of "If you have something to do, I will leave the court if there is nothing".
"Your Majesty, Zhao Quan's family has been searched and executed, and the governor of Jiangnan is vacant. Your Majesty, please select a candidate as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. The minister recommends the right minister of the Ministry of War to be the governor of Jiangnan..."
"Your Majesty, there are also candidates for the Governor of Lingnan... Wei Chen believes that Mr. Zheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can serve as..."
Jiangnan and Lingnan are two big pieces of meat, which naturally makes all parties in the court compete with each other.
But this matter cannot be decided in one or two days.
It is difficult to reach an agreement on the exchange and balance of interests within a month or two.
In short, this wrangling will take a lot of time.
But Li Nuo, the governor-general's killer, just did not care about killing and burying him. He became sleepy after listening to these nonsense.
He has no interest in interfering, and he doesn't want to. Otherwise, it will give people the bad feeling of being able to cover the sky with one hand, which is not worth the gain.
finally.
Someone raised the issue of Chun Wei's selection as examiner, which immediately cheered Li Nuo up.
"The imperial examination is the most important thing, so it should be scheduled on the tenth day of April. As for the candidates for the examiner...do you have any suggestions?"
Emperor Jingtai looked around at the ministers and asked.
"Your Majesty! A humble minister has recommended himself to be the examiner for this term!"
Li Nuo strode out of the queue and said loudly.
Emperor Jingtai smiled slightly: "Ai Qing is the crown prince and grand master. When he was the Duke of Wu An, Wen Ke was able to bring peace to the world, and Wu Neng was on horseback to determine the world. To be a small examiner, is he overqualified and underused?"
"What your Majesty said is true! Mr. Li is a person who does big things. There is no need for the little Chunwei Examiner."
Nangong Qinhu is indeed an old fox. He seized the opportunity and immediately said, "Although I am old, my eyes are not dim yet, I can eat a cow every day, and I am full of energy. It is suitable for me to be the examiner. Please allow your majesty..."
"
The words hit the ground, and there was a sudden silence in the Taiqing Palace.
Except for a few honest people, everyone who has managed to get to this position is very clear-minded. What the emperor just said was clearly making fun of Duke Wu An, and he revealed his closeness to Duke Wu An both inside and outside his words.
.
Everyone can understand this. After all, Mr. Wu An was the one who saved Jia, and he was indispensable.
But why did you, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, come out to cause trouble?
This is causing trouble for people, and offending both sides.
Emperor Jingtai's expression changed slightly when he saw that Nangong was so ignorant about catching the tiger.
Does this old guy have no eyesight, or does he do it on purpose?
But he couldn't just ignore the Nangong family's face.
He then straightened his face and asked: "Nangong Ai Qing, envoys from Western Chu will come to Beijing soon to discuss the alliance between the two countries. The top priority is to entertain them, but the Ministry of Rites still needs to make arrangements. As the Ministry of Rites, you
Right Minister, if you continue to be the examiner, won’t you be too busy?”
"Your Majesty, for the reception of foreign envoys, Mr. Chen, the left minister, can only come forward."
Nangong Qinhu pretended to be dumbfounded and did not understand what Emperor Jingtai said.
Don’t know how to praise!
Emperor Jingtai was very angry. He had an idea, kicked the ball to the princes, and asked: "My dear friends, please tell me how to arrange the selection of examiners?"
Of course he is partial to Zian in his heart, but he cannot go too far. After all, he is the emperor now and not the original King of Qin.
Even if this bowl of water is not flat, it cannot be too different.
It's just that the ministers are not stupid. They are not willing to accept the topic raised by the emperor.
On one side is the Nangong family with five surnames and seven Wangs. The thousand-year-old family has gone through several dynasties and is deeply rooted and cannot afford to be offended.
On the other side, there was Duke Wu An, who was even more popular, famous and in his prime, so he could not afford to take the blame even more.
For a while.
There was an embarrassment on the field.
No one spoke, no one came to the rescue of Emperor Jingtai.
Of course Li Nuo would not embarrass the emperor, so he winked at Chen Lin, the censor.
Of course, he had not been idle these past few days. He almost rummaged through Nangong Qinhu's underwear.
This old boy looks upright and upright, but secretly, he does a lot of things like male prostitutes and female thieves!
Chen Lin, who has become Li Nuo's lackey, has long been eager to give it a try. Now that she has received the signal from her master, she can't hold back.
He strode out of the procession, first surrendered to the emperor, and then looked at Nangong Qinhu angrily, as if he had the revenge of killing his father, and said angrily: "My minister, Yushi Zhongcheng Chen Lin, impeached Nangong Qinhu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, for three major crimes!"
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked.
Okay.
Old dog Chen jumped out and bit people randomly again!
You know, Chen Lin's reputation among the people has been rising rapidly these days. After all, his impeachment also brought down many officials!
The common people gave thumbs up to Mr. Chen who was not afraid of power.
In official circles, this guy was also given a nickname - Chen Laogou!
But Chen Lin didn't care, instead she was complacent! I just bit you, what can you do to me?
After everyone was stunned, intriguing smiles appeared on their faces.
Hey.
There is another good show to watch.
When Chen Lin saw that everyone's attention had been attracted, she puffed up her chest and said righteously: "The first crime is that I secretly raised eighteen concubines and slept in a brothel at night, which is against the rules of an official...
…”
The ministers suppressed their laughter.
What kind of crime is this?
This is just a lack of personal ethics.
Who hasn’t visited a brothel?
Chen Lin pretended not to notice and continued: "The second crime is taking the widow Mrs. Zhang as a concubine!"
Mrs. Zhang was the married wife of General Zhang. However, General Zhang led his army to attack the Demon Cult and unfortunately died in battle.
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang became a widow. But this pretty widow was attracted by Nangong Qinhu... Then through various means, coercion and inducement, Mrs. Zhang finally gave in...
This matter is either small or big.
But these two points are not enough to defeat Nangong Qinhu.
Everyone knows that the big dinner is coming soon.
As expected, Chen Laogou did not disappoint them.
Chen Lin said solemnly: "The third crime is that in the autumn of last year, he used power for personal gain and cheated for his son Nangong Zishuo. With such a bad character, if he became the examiner, wouldn't he be laughed to death by the world's scholars? Could it be our court?
Is there no one left? I hope Your Majesty will take notice!"
"You, you, you...you old dog Chen, you bite people when you catch them! You are framing me, and I am incompatible with you!"
Nangong Qinhu was immediately furious.
Chen Lin rolled her sleeves and snorted coldly, with disdain in her eyes: "I am the censor, and I have the right to report the news. What's more, this matter will be known as soon as I investigate! How can your son get the second place in Qiuwei's examination when his literary heart is dusty?
Madam Zhang, if Your Majesty gives your permission, please come and confront her on the spot and everything will become clear. As for the eighteen-room concubine, she can't wait in the lobby, so forget it."
Emperor Jingtai looked at Nangong Qinhu with an unkind look on his face: "Master Nangong, I can ignore your personal affairs. But if you really use your power for personal gain and undermine the fairness of the imperial examination, I will never forget our past friendship."
Nangong Qinhu shivered, but finally he knelt down with a "plop".
In fact, among these three charges, the first two are insignificant, but fraud in the imperial examination can plunge him into an abyss.
And he, who loved his son so much, did use his hands and feet.
Although he thought he would not leave any traces, if someone wanted to get to the bottom of it, it would be difficult for him to prove his innocence.
Moreover, looking at the look in Chen Lin's eyes that was almost convinced of him, she clearly had some evidence.
Nangong Qinhu knew that if he didn't cut off his arm, he would die without a burial place.
"Your Majesty, I know that I am guilty... Please punish me. But everything I did was for my son. Your Majesty, I am fifty-two years old, but I only have one son..."
Nangong Qinhu made a decision immediately, burst into tears and began to play the emotional card.
As expected, Emperor Jingtai relented. He waved his hand and said, "Send me your words. I will allow you to return to your hometown to take care of yourself..."
A farce came to an end with Nangong Qinhu's resignation.
As for the choice of examiner, naturally no one competed with Li Nuo.
…
After leaving the court.
A young eunuch stopped Li Nuo and said that the emperor was waiting for him in the imperial garden.
Of course Li Nuo would not refuse.
Under the guidance of the little eunuch, we came to the Imperial Garden.
Emperor Jingtai did not show any emperor's attitude, he immediately stepped forward, punched Li Nuo twice, and said gratefully: "Zian! Thank you very much. Without you, I'm afraid I would have been imprisoned for the rest of my life."
Li Nuo sighed and said: "Your Majesty, Wenzong has taken over your body, but your mind is still awake?"
Emperor Jingtai's face showed a look of pain: "I know everything he did, but I was unable to fight and resist, I could only stare. That feeling is worse than death. Fortunately, you beheaded him, so I can
See the light of day again."
"Then when did he take over your body? And how did he do it?"
Li Nuo expressed his doubts.
Emperor Jingtai gritted his teeth and said: "Human Pill!"
"Blood Sacrifice Pill?"
Li Nuo was shocked.
The King of Qin went south just to investigate this case, but he didn't expect that he would be harmed by this human pill in the end.
Emperor Jingtai said with murderous intent in his eyes: "Do you still remember that monk? What he gave me was the human elixir, and he used the human elixir to slowly transform me into a body suitable for Wenzong to seize the body!"
Li Nuo took a deep breath of air.
He thought there was something wrong with that monk at the beginning, but unfortunately... King Qin was unconscious at that time, and Princess Qin's attitude towards him...
"It's a pity that although I captured the monk, I was killed and silenced by Wenzong. Otherwise, I could have known the truth earlier and rescued you."
Li Nuo said melancholy.
Emperor Jingtai asked again: "Do you know who that monk is?"
"who?"
"It's the King of Wu who took away his biological son Li Zhan!"
Emperor Jingtai said bitterly.
"It turns out that King Wu and Wenzong are the same species!"
Li Nuo suddenly realized.
The human elixir transforms the body and then seizes the body. In this way, you can live forever!
When Li Tong was escorted to Beijing, he was rescued on the way. It must have been Wenzong's handiwork.
"Let's not talk about this anymore. It's all over... Zian, let me ask you, do you really want to marry the emperor's sister?"
Emperor Jingtai joked.
"In the battle of Chang'an, Qingyang shielded me from the sword... How could I fail her? Your Majesty, you won't stop her, right?"
Li Nuo admitted generously.
Emperor Jingtai was in a dilemma: "But you are already married, and with your temperament, it is absolutely impossible for your wife to become a minor, let alone divorce her. But the imperial sister is the eldest princess of Dayin, how can she be a minor?"
"
"I have wives, no matter how big or small."
Li Nuo vowed firmly.
"What you say doesn't count, unless you can convince those old stubborns."
Emperor Jingtai curled his lips.
"The clan's mansion?"
Li Nuo asked.
Emperor Jingtai nodded and said: "Yes, there is nothing I can do if those old stubborns become stubborn."
"Then I'll go and convince them myself. I'm afraid they won't dare not give me face."
Li Nuo is full of confidence.
"Please don't mess around?"
Emperor Jingtai was worried.
"Don't worry, we won't kill them."
Li Nuo patted his chest and promised.
"Hey! In fact, as long as you don't kill me, I... can tell you everything!"
Emperor Jingtai is also extremely heroic!
"My lord, I obey the order!"
Li Nuo laughed.
After chatting for a while, Li Nuo stood up and left.
Emperor Jingtai opened his mouth, but still didn't stop Li Nuo.
That’s all.
There were some things that Zian couldn't help him with.
What he is most troubled about now is... Queen Wang.
Should we abolish the queen?
And the child that is about to be born in the queen's belly...
This made him very confused.
Harem.
Queen Wang has been having a very hard time these days.
There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Li Nuo used the Human Emperor Sword to kill Wenzong naturally reached her ears.
This kept her awake for several nights.
Did Wenzong occupy His Majesty's body?
so……
Is it Wenzong who is sleeping with her?
Whose child is that?
…
After Li Nuo left, he returned to Chang'an.
But what surprised him was that at dawn the next day, he got the news - just last night, Nangong committed suicide by catching a tiger...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! When he was discovered, he hung himself from a beam.
This surprised Li Nuo.
Isn't Nangong Qinhu's psychological quality too poor?
His Majesty asked him to retire and return to his hometown, which meant that he could forget about the past and go home to be a rich man and enjoy his old age in peace. Why commit suicide?
"Husband, Nangong committed suicide by catching a tiger? Will this affect you?"
Ye Qingyu was a little worried.
"What does it have to do with me that he committed suicide? Maybe he felt ashamed to see others, so he committed suicide."
Li Nuo shrugged indifferently.
And it didn't take long.
Two officials from the Ministry of Justice knocked on the door.
"Master Li..."
These two officials from the Ministry of Punishment can also be regarded as Li Nuo's former subordinates.
When they met Li Nuo, they both looked embarrassed.
"What's the matter?"
Li Nuo asked.
"Last night, someone reported to the police that Nangong committed suicide by catching a tiger. Our team from the Criminal Department took action. After investigation, we found that the suicide was faked!"
"He committed suicide? Do you suspect it was me?"
Li Nuo narrowed his eyes.
"I dare not. But according to the procedure, Mr. Li still needs to accompany us..."
Inviting Mr. Wu An to tea at the Ministry of Justice was a hard job. Everyone pushed it back and forth, but in the end it fell on them.
Who told them to work under Li Nuo?
"Okay, I won't embarrass you two. I will just go with you. You go and wait outside first."
Li Nuo agreed, and the two officials were extremely surprised.
Mr. Wu An is still so considerate of his subordinates.
"Madam, I'm going to Luoyang. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just explain clearly."
Li Nuo noticed his wife's worry and comforted her with a smile.
Ye Qingyu said: "Husband, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Even if the King of Qin comes back, he will no longer be the same King of Qin."
Li Nuo was surprised and said: "What do you mean..."
"Husband, you have become an extremely popular minister and have no title."
"But I am a civil servant and cannot rebel."
"But you killed Wenzong, but Wen Xin and the foundation of Confucianism and Taoism were not affected in any way." Ye Qingyu reminded.
"I see!"
Li Nuo nodded.
The implication of the lady's words is that since he can kill Wenzong, he can naturally depose Emperor Jingtai, and then support other royal children to ascend the throne as emperor!
Regardless of whether anyone reminds him or not, Emperor Jingtai will react.
But Emperor Jingtai, would he really turn his back on others?
Li Nuo didn’t believe it!
And at the same time.
Luoyang Imperial Palace.
Royal study room.
The monarch and his ministers play against each other.
