Hearing His Majesty's words, Li Yifu felt happy. It seemed that he had guessed correctly.
In all likelihood, His Majesty wants to beat up the old Cheng family, or rather beat up Cheng Sanlang, who is criticized by the Yushitai team every day.
"Your Majesty, no matter how good your literary talent is, it is just a piece of cake after all. Since I am the supervisory censor, I have the important responsibility of supervising all officials."
"Since I joined the imperial censorship, I have been working diligently and conscientiously, fearing that I might make some omissions and lose the great favor of the emperor..."
"Since he joined the Luoyang Order, little Taibao Cheng has been late and left early. He has even been idle and playing in the market while on duty, ignoring the great trust entrusted by His Majesty..."
Looking at Inspector Li who was speaking righteously and turning on the trolling mode.
Li Shimin smiled happily, he was indeed a loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty, although Cheng Sanlang was not as exaggerated as they described.
However, the Tang Dynasty could have such a group of censors who were not afraid of trouble and even dared to offend the old Cheng family. This proves that the officials of the Tang Dynasty were clean and honest and the officials were loyal.
"Well...Okay, okay, that boy Cheng Sanlang does have some, some faults, and I have already told him personally."
"I have called you here today because I have taken a fancy to your courage, which is upright and unafraid of power."
Seeing His Majesty raising his fingers and nodding at him, praising his actions, Li Yifu was so happy that he almost went crazy.
His Majesty can appreciate himself. It seems that he has finally waited for the opportunity to fall into the sky.
Fortunately, Li Yifu pinched his thighs several times, probably turning the roots of his legs blue, and then he controlled the corners of his mouth from rising too exaggeratedly.
With a righteous look on his face, he bowed respectfully to His Majesty. "I have no other intention but to be loyal to Your Majesty."
"Okay! This is my beloved." Li Shimin laughed heartily.
He casually copied a handwritten edict on the desk and glanced at Zhao Kun who was standing aside.
#####
Zhao Kun strode forward, took the edict, came to Li Yifu, and handed it over.
Li Yifu seemed a little frightened and a little excited. He took it in his hands and looked at the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Yifu only saw the other party smiling and gesturing for him to read the imperial edict, and then Li Yifu took a deep breath and controlled his emotions.
Slowly opened the edict, which should have been written by His Majesty himself.
With a glance, the expression on Li Yifu's face instantly turned to stone, and his eyes seemed like bridge piers rising slowly in the Luoshui River during the dry season in winter.
Seeing the appearance of Li Yifu, the wicked Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty was very pleased that he had brought a little surprise to his loyal ministers.
At this moment, Li Yifu's mind was in a mess.
What the hell is Bo, the boss of Luoyang County? I am a dignified supervisory censor, a low-ranking and powerful supervisory censor.
Your Majesty, what kind of trouble are you making? Could it be because you impeached Cheng Sanlang too harshly?
Your Majesty has evil intentions towards me, and you have deliberately set out to do this, just because you want to hand yourself over to your beloved son-in-law and let the notorious Cheng Sanlang kill you?
After Li Yifu was shocked for a few breaths, he finally came back to his senses. He really wanted to lunge towards the stable deep inside the palace, find a trough and lie down hard.
Li Yifu raised his head and saw His Majesty's slightly narrow smile, and Li Yifu's eyes immediately became moist.
"Hey, Li Qing, why, you don't seem to be happy with my arrangement."
After hearing this, Li Yifu directly pushed the golden mountain to the jade pillar and fell to the ground, feeling heartbroken.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I, I, I am impeaching that little Cheng Taibao. You are absolutely public-minded and have absolutely no selfish motives, Your Majesty..."
"I naturally know that, get up quickly. It is precisely because of your loyalty that I will place you as an official under Cheng Sanlang."
"???" Li Yifu looked at the big hand lifting him up, and he was completely confused.
You asked me to squat in a trap with Cheng Sanlang, who is notorious and has a mind smaller than the eye of a needle. Is it because I am too loyal?
What kind of divine logic is this? Li Yifu still felt that his head was buzzing until he left Wencheng Hall and headed outside the palace.
That boy Cheng Sanlang, although I have not dealt with him directly, but please take a look at the fate of one of your colleagues, the Censor Guan.
Now, that unlucky brother has become the shame of Yushitai.
And he actually wanted to work with Cheng Sanlang, whom he had impeached many times.
The more he thought about it, the more chilled he felt. Li Yifu wanted to pick up his belt and find a crooked tree in the palace to hang the arithmetic ball.

"...Huh? Isn't this Inspector Li? Inspector Li, what's wrong with you? Why are you here touching your waistband and crying silently?"
Li Yifu heard a somewhat familiar greeting and subconsciously woke up.
Then I saw an acquaintance who was in his fifties, with a silver beard and a particularly gentle smile.
"Oh, isn't this Bachelor Xu? I was distracted for a moment and failed to notice that Bachelor Xu was close by. It's really rude, so rude..."
The person who came was none other than Xu Jingzong, one of the eighteen scholars of the former Qin Palace. Seeing Li Yifu being so respectful, he laughed and raised his hand to support him.
"No need to be polite, but Inspector Li, why are you in the palace at this time?"
Looking at Xu Jingzong's kind face, Li Yifu looked a little sad.
"I have just entered the palace for an audience with His Majesty. When I walked here, I suddenly missed my old father who was far away in Lingnan. I couldn't help but sigh and sigh, which caused a loss of etiquette in the palace."
After hearing this, Xu Jingzong smiled and nodded slightly, then walked away with his head held high.
"Inspector Li is truly a respectful and filial man. Well, Inspector Li, please do as you please. I have to go see His Majesty."
"Farewell to Bachelor Xu." Li Yifu bowed respectfully to Xu Jingzong.
At this time, Xu Jingzong, who had walked a few steps, glanced back casually, saw Li Yifu's humble attitude, smiled, and continued towards the direction of Wencheng Hall.
Others may not know what kind of person this Xu Jingzong is, but as a censor who likes to pry into other people's privacy, how could he, Li, not know.
This Xu Jingzong is not a good person, and he is also petty. Otherwise, why would Li Yifu deal with it so carefully?
Xu Jingzong was walking quickly at this moment. As the eighteenth bachelor of the Qin Palace, Xu Jingzong felt very honored.
But at the same time, I was also quite unhappy because after all, I was one of the eighteen bachelors.
Look at those colleagues who are ranked eighteenth in the bachelor's class with him. Except for those who have been arrogant for a long time, none of them are in high positions of authority.
As for Tu Ling himself, he was already in his sixties, but he was still just a small person.
He was also thrown into compiling the history of the country. Although he took advantage of the opportunity of compiling the history of the country, he made a lot of money, but in the end, how could the pleasure of playing with power be greater?
