In the edict of Queen Mother Mingde, in addition to announcing that Li Renren was the mastermind behind the death of the late king, she also accused Li Renren of colluding with the Yuan people in an attempt to murder the five princes of the Ming Dynasty and destroying the relationship between Ming Dynasty and Li Dynasty. This was a heinous crime. Therefore, Li Chenggui was appointed as his right minister.
In the middle, he commanded the capital and the imperial army, and purged Li Renren from rebelling against the party.
When the King of Goryeo was still young, his grandmother naturally assumed the royal power. So when the chief chamberlain read out the edict of Queen Mother Myeongdeok, it was considered as a letter to Li Chenggui.
At this time, the Korean Imperial Army finally stopped being half-hearted and basically became Li Chenggui's subordinates.
Li Chenggui's hanging heart finally returned to his stomach a little.
He then ordered the guards of the capital to open the gates, and anyone who refused to comply would be punished as Li Renren for rebelling against the party.
The garrison officer looked at the princes of the capital and saw that each of them looked dejected, completely losing their former arrogance...
"Open the door!" Jin Tao, who had been silent for some time, popped out from a corner of his head and ordered loudly: "Do you really want to be labeled as a traitor to the party, your whole family will be exiled to Tamluo, and you will be given to Muhu as a slave?!"
"Open the door!" The officer waited for someone to take charge. After hearing this, he quickly ordered and opened the gate.
Li Chenggui, surrounded by his disciples and soldiers, walked into the capital government office proudly.
Those princes of the capital who usually pointed their nostrils at him finally lowered their noble heads at this moment and presented flattering smiles to this newly minted powerful minister.
Li Chenggui walked into the meeting hall with a straight face and was about to sit down on the ninth chair.
Then several military officials hurriedly advised: "The minister should sit on the upper right side."
Li Chenggui nodded approvingly, grinned and said, "Haha, I'm used to it."
Only then did the princes give in again and again, and sat in the second position.
Looking at the first person opposite with a little regret, Li Chenggui smiled and said to the anxious princes: "Just now, all the princes also heard that the Queen Mother ordered a certain person to purge Li Renren from rebelling against the party. The princes and Mr. X have been together for many years.
Colleague, I really can’t bear the humiliation and torture.”
He paused deliberately, and when everyone was about to suffocate, he said slowly: "Well, please swear by your status, your dignity, and your reputation that you will never rebel against the party, resolutely obey the Queen Mother's decree, and work with Li Ren
If one party is in conflict with the other, it can sit back."
The military ministers looked at each other in confusion. Just say it, you really can't bear to look like this; don't say it, not only will it be difficult to pass the current hurdle, but there will definitely be endless troubles in the future.
Of course, Jin Tao was the exception. He was the first to swear loudly, and then he returned to the last seat and took his seat.
"Wait a minute." Li Renren pointed to the third chair and said, "Sit here."
"I obey your orders." Jin Tao did not refuse, and walked forward and sat down with a calm look on his face.
The gatekeeper, Qing Qianxing, who was originally sitting in the third seat, suddenly looked uglier than a dead rat, so he took his seat?
How can the princes in the capital hall hold their nerve now? How much is dignity and reserve worth? In short, it is definitely not as valuable as the seats in the capital hall! In normal times, every person who enters has to fight openly and covertly for his life, but now as long as he stands in line early,
You can sit several seats forward!
Only then will the fool be ashamed!
So all the princes rushed to swear their oaths, and Li Chenggui happily arranged the seats in the order of their declarations.
The Qing Shizhong finally didn't hold back, and after his seventh statement, he was arranged to sit in Li Chenggui's original seat. From a high-ranking boss who participated in political affairs, he became a foil who only gave praise.
In the end, only Lin Jianwei and a few die-hard pro-party members of Li Renren were left, standing there slightly lonely.
"There's no one left? Let's stop here." Li Chenggui said calmly.
"I, I also swear..." Li Renren's best friend finally couldn't help but said.
"It's too late." Li Chenggui laughed ferociously and said, "Didn't you hear what I said about stopping here? If you don't seize the opportunity given to you, do you think I'm joking with you?!
"The Queen Mother wants a certain family to investigate and deal with traitors. A certain family can't just deal with it casually. It has to cut off a few heads before the task can be completed." After saying that, he waved his hand and said: "Push them out and chop them off!"
Then some soldiers swarmed up, captured Lin Jianwei, and pushed several of them out.
"Li Chenggui, you have always been traitorous, so you will not die well!" Seeing that there was no way to survive, several people began to curse.
"Sooner or later you will end up with the same fate, we are waiting for you in the underworld!"
"As soon as Mr. Cui Yuan comes back, you will be dead..."
It wasn't until the head fell to the ground that the curses stopped abruptly.
~~
The atmosphere in the meeting hall was very solemn.
Although Lin Jianwei has lost his head, his words still linger in the ears of Li Chenggui and others.
'You will be dead as soon as Mr. Cui Yuan comes back...'
The title of 'God of War to protect the country' was not only gained by fighting against foreign enemies. He also turned the tide in various coups and made careerists fail.
Not long after the late king ascended the throne, the rebellion of the hero Zhao Rixin broke out. It was Cui Ying who put down the civil strife. Later, Jin Yong, a close minister, sent people to break into the palace and tried to kill the late king. After hearing the change, Cui Ying came to rescue the late king and killed all the assassins...
People say that if Cui Ying had not conquered Tamluo last year, the late king would not have been killed.
Cui Ying herself thought so. After returning to the capital, he returned to his original life in front of the late king's palace. He burst into tears and vowed to be incompatible with the rebels.
Li Chenggui was also present at that time and knew that Cui Yuanjun was not joking.
If Cui Ying also identifies him as a thief, then his head will have to move before his seat is warm.
"When will Mr. Cui Yuan return to the capital?" After a moment of silence, he decided to face the biggest challenge head-on.
"As early as afternoon." Jin Tao replied.
"Who among you is willing to go and convey the Queen Mother's decree to Cui Yuanjun?" Li Chenggui glanced at both sides of the long table and said slowly: "And the capital's order prohibiting any troops from entering the capital?"
"I go."
"I'll go." All the princes from the capital hall enthusiastically requested the order, obviously not to show off in front of the new servant, but because they all felt that it was safest to be with Cui Ying.
"Do you dare to issue a military order and never let the Baishou Army enter the city?" Li Chenggui asked again.
"..." All the princes immediately shrank their heads, and someone said sarcastically: "Your Majesty, I don't dare to issue such a military order. Who can stop what Mr. Cui Yuan has decided?"
"Yes." Everyone nodded.
"Jin Sheren, you'd better take a trip." Li Chenggui looked at Jin Tao and said.
"I..." Jin Tao forcefully swallowed the word 'fuck', and then he realized that this third position was not for nothing.
"Yes." Jin Tao obeyed with a wry smile, and then suggested: "Should the Queen Mother please give Cui Yuanjun a special edict, so that Cui Yuanjun will not easily misjudge?"
"..." Li Chenggui looked at Jin Tao like he was an idiot, and thought to himself, doesn't this make it clear that we can't do anything to Mr. Cui Yuan? If he asked the Queen Mother to give him an order, wouldn't he give up the fruits of victory?
"You come with me to the guest house before we talk." He could only say in a low voice.
