The fact that things have developed to this point has nothing to do with Lu Zicai's original turning a blind eye. This time, Lu Zicai is more or less planning to solve this problem in one fell swoop with the help of Li Xingchen's power. Everyone knows that the fox pretends to be the tiger's power.
If Li Xingchen hadn't been in Guangling County, Lu Zicai would actually have considered whether he would take action today. After all, although Huainan is opposite Jiankang Mansion, not to mention the dark truth under the lamp, Huainan itself is a mess.
Luan Ma has just sorted it out, so this matter really needs to be investigated, and Li Xingchen really may not notice it. By then, Lu Zi will not get Li Xingchen's clear support, and he will risk offending the aristocratic family.
The most uncomfortable thing.
In the end, who would have thought that this time this group of guys would accidentally hit the muzzle of the gun, and they could also buy Li Xingchen's head by buying witnesses. If the bullying of men and women before was not enough to break their muscles,
Bones, learn a lesson, then this beheading and exile will definitely have the effect of knocking the mountain and shaking the tiger. At least Lu Zicai believes that Huainan can be quiet for a long time.
I don’t know if I am lucky or unlucky.
Lu Zicai carefully considered what His Majesty had just said, and was vaguely aware of the several meanings in Li Xinchen's words. Obviously Li Xinchen was about to start rectifying this mess, and at least in this regard, he, Lu Zi, had successfully passed the test.
"The Qing family has worked hard, please step back first." Li Xingchen waved his hand.
Lu Zicai felt as if he had been granted amnesty and hurriedly resigned.
When he reached the threshold, he raised his head slightly and caught a glimpse of the young emperor's figure against the candlelight.
Compared with the first time they met, Li Xingchen at this time has obviously become much more stable. And His Majesty is still young. As long as he can move forward steadily, there is still a long way to go.
This rising sun is destined to climb slowly and lead this era for a long time.
Although she still wore a light white dress as usual, Shen Wuhua's complexion was obviously much better than before. At this time, she knelt down next to Li Xinchen and carefully rubbed Li Xinchen's ink.
Your Majesty encountered such a disturbing incident today, and it is inevitable that he will be in a bad mood.
"Your Majesty, please use it." Shen Wuhua put the inkstone aside, then stood up and washed his hands before pouring tea for Li Xinchen.
Li Xingchen put down his pen. There were not many memorials today. This was mainly due to the fact that after he traveled, the three provinces naturally became more efficient in screening memorials. In addition, the newly formed Privy Council also began to exert its efforts, so naturally it was also possible to screen memorials.
Some insignificant things were dropped.
However, there is mutual supervision between the three provinces and the Privy Council, so Li Xingchen does not have to worry about any important memorials being deliberately concealed. After all, the Yuan Cong clique headed by Pei and Xiao, and the Guan Long clique headed by Yang Su,
The serious differences of interests among the Jiangnan nobles headed by King Gu Ye destined them to only confront each other and not work together.
Otherwise, Li Xingchen, the emperor responsible for central adjustment and checks and balances, would have failed too much.
While Shen Wuhua was helping Li Xingchen sort the memorials into categories, she glanced at him and hesitated to speak.
"what you want to say?"
Her expression was noticed by Li Xingchen, which made Shen Wuhua's hands tremble, and then he shook his head: "No, it's nothing."
"Is there anyone from the Shen family today?" Li Xingchen picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Do you think Lu Zicai's sentence was harsh?"
Shen Wuhua opened her mouth and was suddenly told something central by Li Xingchen. She didn't know how to answer this question. She actually didn't think of anything too far away, but one of the people present today was the Shen family elder. Although San's eldest uncle is not close to him, he is related to the Shen family no matter what.
And in fact, everyone knows that letting a cousin with a different surname come forward is actually just to make the relationship between him and the Shen family as less obvious as possible. In fact, he is just a puppet in front of the stage, really controlling the funds and so on behind the scenes. The Shen family is still waiting. Therefore, Shen Wuhua cannot help but worry about the consequences of Li Xingchen's actions. After all, from a broader perspective, this does mean to suppress the family.
The last time the imperial court gradually replaced the nine-level Zhongzheng system with academies, it aroused resistance from the Jiangnan aristocratic families. However, it was resolved by Li Xingchen, who took advantage of the Zhengdan ceremony, when everyone relaxed their vigilance, to resort to thunderous tactics. Come. And will this time once again arouse the worries of the aristocratic families, leading to the outbreak of conflicts?
Shen Wuhua naturally did not want to see such a conflict between the Shen family and Li Xingchen.
"The reason why I punish these guys this time is to maintain the fairness and justice of Huainan order," Li Xingchen said lightly, "The evidence is conclusive, and no one can confuse right and wrong on this. If I were the leader of a country, I would not even be able to do this justice. If you can't host it, what's the difference between it and a puppet?"
After a pause, Li Xingchen sneered and said: "I won my kingdom by winning it, but I don't win it from other people's hands."
Shen Wuhua hurriedly bowed his head: "Your Majesty is aware that I made a mistake in my speech. Please forgive me."
Li Xingchen glanced at her in surprise, and stretched out his hand to pull Shen Wuhua over: "What's wrong with you? When things got into this situation, even Lu Zicai was worried. It's reasonable for you to be worried. I It’s not incomprehensible, it’s just human nature.”
Shen Wuhua lowered his head slightly, and Li Xingchen gently held her hand: "What's more, in my opinion, you are worried about the Shen family's choices, so you are too distrustful of Mr. Shen, right? This man bullies men and dominates women, and is a prey to the common people. Is it something that everyone must do in the dignified etiquette family of the Shen family? I regard Duke Shen as the Minister of Punishment because I have taken a fancy to him who enforces the law impartially, restrains himself and restores etiquette. If even he can't tell the difference between this The right and wrong in it are just for my own selfish desires, so I won't use him."
"But" Shen Wuhua wanted to say something else.
Li Xingchen stretched out his hand and pinched her cheek: "What's more, I still have yours. The fact that I can take you with me is already the greatest trust in the Shen family. Don't smart people like Mr. Shen understand this? What do you mean? Which is more important, your cousin of the Shen family, or you, the eldest daughter of the Shen family? I think Mr. Shen should have a clear idea after weighing it up, right?"
Shen Wuhua was a little surprised. Indeed, she had never considered her own existence before.
When the Shen family married the royal family, the role of Shen Wuhua's existence was to consolidate the Shen family's status.
With this opportunity, Shen was able to become a relative of the emperor. However, as Shen Wuhua fell out of favor before she was favored, this role naturally became irrelevant.
