Chu Yi nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Ge..."
Zhu Houzhao raised his head and glanced at Chu Yi, showing a bit of a smile and said: "Why, my eldest companion wouldn't think that I was moved by Li Shi's righteous act of killing relatives, that he was really loyal to me, and that he could even put his son's life or death at risk."
Just ignore it!"
Chu Yi knew just by looking at Zhu Houzhao's expression that Zhu Houzhao was like a bright mirror in his heart.
At this moment, I heard Zhu Houzhao say with a gloomy look: "Who are these my ministers? People like Huang Huai are all greedy and have no regard for the king's laws. He, Li Shi, is a veteran of several dynasties, and he is dignified.
The cabinet minister, who is a role model for civil servants in the world, can be so cruel."
Zhu Hou showed his anger, patted the table and said: "It is said that tigers are poisonous and do not eat their seeds. Even a beast has a deep affection for its calf. He is a cabinet minister, and he can even betray his own son, just to win me."
His sympathy made me think that he was loyal to me!"
Gu Dayong and Chu Yi stood aside, listening to Zhu Houzhao vent.
After denigrating Li Shi, Zhu Houzhao took a sip of tea and then exhaled, looked at Chu Yi and said: "I can't see through Li Shi's thoughts, but this old guy is also alert. Not long ago, his companion
He just gave me the information about his corruption and bribery, and he wanted to get away. If it weren't for the information given to me by his great companion, so that I could understand Li Shi's true face first, I'm afraid he would have succeeded today.
It’s over.”
It turned out that Chu Yi had already asked Mo Qing for some evidence of corruption and bribery about Ge Lao Li Shi. After all, given the close relationship between Mo Qing and Li Shi, it would be strange to say that Mo Qing didn't know some dirty information about Li Shi.
Already.
Li Shi was also aware of this, so he was so cruel that he even hooked up with a son in an attempt to impress the emperor and let him go.
Although he was heartbroken to have a son, compared to the entire family, if a son like Li Yi dies, he will die.
If it succeeds, it goes without saying that Li Yi will save the safety of the entire family. If it fails, it will be the end of the family being confiscated and exterminated. It seems that there will be no difference if Li Yi dies sooner or later.
Chu Yi nodded and said: "Your Majesty has a keen eye for fire. How could Li Shi's little tricks escape His Majesty's discerning eye?"
Zhu Houzhao, who was in a much better mood, said: "Okay, I will investigate Li Shi's problem according to law, my dear friend!"
Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao and said slowly: "I just didn't know that after spending so much thought and wasting so much effort, if Mr. Li Ge, who finally directed this big show, knew that he had done so much, it was just...
Like a clown who makes people hate and make people laugh, what expression will he have?"
Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment, sighed and said: "Poor people must be hateful!"
However, Li Shi felt as if a stone had been lifted in his heart after leaving the Leopard Room. From Zhu Houzhao's reaction and his understanding of Zhu Houzhao, Li Shi felt that he should be able to escape smoothly this time.
However, Li Shi still felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that his son might lose his life because of this. However, Li Shi thought that the entire family could be saved, and the discomfort disappeared.
It’s not like he only has one son, Li Yi. The peace of the family that comes from the death of a son is worth it!
The housekeeper was waiting outside the Leopard Room. When he saw his master coming out, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Master!"
Li Shi got on the sedan and said, "Steward, send me to the cabinet!"
The news that the emperor has agreed to his return to his hometown has not yet come, so he is still a member of the cabinet. Even if it is to maintain his image of being loyal to his duties, he still has to go to the cabinet.
Besides, the emperor's decision to agree to his official appointment will inevitably pass through the cabinet, and he happens to be able to wait for the news in the cabinet as soon as possible.
In the cabinet, Fei Hong, Jiang Mian and other cabinet elders couldn't help but say hello to Li Shi when they saw him coming.
Jiang Mian even put down the government affairs in his hands and said with a smile: "Why did Mr. Li come a little late today? Could it be that the ninth concubine in Xinna made Mr. Li reluctant to leave her!"
Several other pavilion elders couldn't help laughing when they heard this, while Li Shi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Master Jiang was joking. Just now, Li just went to ask for an audience with His Majesty."
Several pavilion elders couldn't help but be stunned when they heard this. Fei Hong subconsciously said: "Master Li will not really go to plead for Mo Qing."
Apparently, Li Shi's intention to speak up for Mo Qing was remembered by several people. Now they suddenly heard that Li Shi had gone to the Baofang to meet the emperor, and naturally they subconsciously thought that Li Shi had gone to intercede for Mo Qing.
Li Shi shook his head slightly. In Li Shi's view, the emperor's decision to agree to his official appointment might come soon, so there was no need to hide it from Jiang Mian and others.
With a slight cough, Li Shi glanced at everyone and said: "Li came here not for Mo Qing, but to ask your Majesty's permission to return to his hometown after he has become an official, to return to his roots after falling leaves, and to grow old in his hometown!"
"What?"
"Master Li wants to become an official?"
As soon as Li Shi's words came out, several cabinet elders were shocked. Everyone looked at Li Shi with disbelief.
Don’t you still know who Li Shi is?
Among the several elders, Li Shi is the oldest and most senior. It is said that at his age, he should have retired to his hometown long ago, but this elder Li just refuses to leave and is greedy for his position.
People say behind the scenes that even if this person dies, he will die in the position of the elder. They want him to take the initiative to become an official unless the sun rises from the west.
However, they actually heard from Li Shi's words that Li Shi went to the emperor to beg the emperor to become an official. This simply broke their usual understanding of Li Shi.
Could it be that they were hallucinating while collecting pictures, or that there was something wrong with Li Shi's head?
Jiang Mian coughed lightly and looked at Li Shi and said, "Master Li, this joke is indeed very funny."
Obviously no one believed Li Shi's words, but Li Shi looked at everyone and said with a straight face: "Everyone, Li is not joking with you. If you don't believe it, you might as well wait for a while. Maybe His Majesty's will is on the way at this moment."
Seeing what Li Shi said, Jiang Mian and others looked at Li Shi seriously and said, "Master Li, are you sure you are not joking? Do you really want to become an official?"
Li Shi nodded and said: "Li also wants to continue to share your Majesty's worries, but he is getting old after all. Time is not forgiving. We old guys have to make room for those who come after us, otherwise we will not be criticized behind the scenes."
Can you give me some advice?"
When Jiang Mian and others heard this, they almost fainted with anger. This old guy actually had the nerve to say such things without even looking at him. He was much older than anyone present, and now he knew how to give it to those who came after him.
The seat has been vacated, and previously I didn't know who would rather die than give up the seat.
A burst of footsteps came from outside. Li Shi couldn't help but his eyes lit up when he heard the footsteps. With a bit of joy on his face, he took a deep breath and said: "I think it is His Majesty's decree that has arrived! If you don't believe it, you might as well wait and see.
That’s it.”
While he was talking, several figures were seen entering the cabinet. Everyone looked at the person. At first glance, almost everyone shrank their eyes. They were startled and took a step back subconsciously. They thought to themselves: What the hell?
This killing star!
Not to mention Jiang Mian and others, even Li Shi was startled and a little shocked when he saw the coming people, but Li Shi quickly recovered.
The person who came was none other than Chu Yi.
With Chu Yi's status, it is said that it is unlikely that he would come to convey the imperial edict on behalf of the emperor, but considering that the other party has the trust of the emperor, maybe the emperor would be willing to let Chu Yi convey the edict for him.
Jiang Mian coughed lightly, bowed his hands to Chu Yi and said, "General Manager Chu is here. I'm sorry for the delay in welcoming you, please forgive me!"
Chu Yi nodded slightly, his eyes swept across everyone, and finally fell on Li Shi. He heard Chu Yi say: "My lords, there is no need to be polite. Chu is here for Lord Li."
Li Shi was overjoyed and secretly thought that the emperor was really kind. He had used a cruel trick to get the emperor to agree to his request and allow him to serve as an official and return home.
With these thoughts in his mind, Li Shi saluted Chu Yi with a respectful look on his face and said, "Li Shi has met Manager Chu. I wonder what your Majesty's decree is?"
Everyone looked at Li Shi with complicated expressions. As Chu Yi came to power, the cabinet was obviously under great pressure. The position of cabinet minister was not that easy to fill. For a while, they were a little envious of being able to succeed.
Li Shi retired.
At Li Shi's age, he has also accumulated a huge net worth. Now that he has achieved success and retired, he is enjoying his old age, which is also enviable.
Chu Yi looked at Li Shi and said slowly: "According to the emperor's decree, the cabinet minister Li Shi was corrupt and perverted the law... He is now removed from his position as cabinet minister and thrown into a prison. He will be severely punished!"
"What……"
Li Shi, who seemed to have been struck by lightning, listened to Chu Yi conveying the emperor's will. He seemed to be stunned. His body swayed and he fell to the ground with a thud, his face full of despair.
The news that the emperor allowed him to take up his official post and return to his hometown did not wait, but an imperial edict sent him to the heavenly prison. For Li Shi, this was like falling from heaven to hell.
Several pavilion elders on the side were also confused by this sudden change. Looking at the stunned Li Shi, Jiang Mian and others looked at each other.
There is something wrong with this script. Didn't Li Shi say that the emperor's decree was to allow him to serve as an official and return to his hometown? Why did Chu Yi convey the decree that he should be dismissed, investigated and punished severely?
As for whether Chu Yi falsely conveyed the imperial edict, they really haven't thought about this. No matter how stupid Chu Yi is, he will never do anything like falsely conveying the imperial edict. Therefore, this imperial edict must be true, that is,
It is said that Li Shi went to see the emperor and begged him to return to his hometown as an official, but instead of allowing it, the emperor took him down.
Chu Yi was condescending and looked at the dull Li Shi with no pity in his heart. He should be merciless towards such a treacherous old fox.
"Come here, bring Mr. Li Ge with you. We have to rely on Mr. Li Ge's testimony to arrest Li Yi and others!"
Several fans who were following Chu Yi immediately stepped forward and lifted up the limp Li Shi. Li Shi seemed to have come to his senses, and with despair in his heart, he yelled at Chu Yi: "It's you, the eunuch, I must be you."
You ruined my good deeds. You will not die well, you will not die well..."
As a confidant of Chu Yi, a Dongchang fan punched Li Shi in the mouth, which immediately smashed out the few remaining teeth of Li Shi. His mouth was filled with blood, and his mouth swelled up. Under severe pain,
Apart from the cries of pain, there were no more curses towards Chu Yi.
