Chapter 40 The Immortal
"Li Aiqing... pick up the memorial on the ground for me." Nan Muze leaned on the dragon chair and gave Li Xingzhou a faint order.
Li Xingzhou didn't dare to neglect. He quickly bent down and picked up the memorial from the ground, but he didn't even dare to look at it. He just waited for Nan Mulin's next instruction.
"look."
"Your Majesty, you..."
"I'll let you see!" Nan Muze's voice suddenly became louder, filled with anger.
Li Xingzhou held the memorial in fearful hands and squinted his eyes to read it carefully. As soon as he read a few lines, his expression changed.
The person who wrote the memorial was Tian Yi, the only prime minister at that time.
Speaking of Tian Yi, he was considered a ruthless figure in the court. When the late emperor was in power, he was already the prime minister of the country and held great power. But because he was single-handedly promoted by the late emperor, he was still
If you keep yourself safe, even though you have great power, your achievements will not overwhelm your master.
After the death of the late emperor, Nan Muze succeeded to the throne by imperial edict. Perhaps he felt that he, a young boy who had just ascended the throne, no longer posed much of a threat to him, so he began to carefully plan step by step in an attempt to overthrow Chao Gang.
During Nan Muze's reign, Tian Yi continued to secretly bribe the ministers in the court. Now, almost half of the people in the court have become his people, but this obviously cannot satisfy the ambition of Prime Minister Tian.
The document that Li Xingzhou has now is that Tian Yi petitioned the emperor to give the newly vacant position of Minister of Household Affairs to his nephew Tian Zhan.
Who in the court didn't know that the former Minister of Household Affairs was his Nan Muze? But I don't know what means Prime Minister Na Tian used to accuse the Minister of Household Affairs of an unfounded crime, and his family property was confiscated overnight.
In the end, he was hanged in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.
Tian Xiang killed first and then told Nan Muze. He only waited for the person to die before telling Nan Muze. Even though he knew it clearly in his heart like a mirror, Tian Xiang had good reasons and evidence, and the person was already dead. Even if he had the intention, he could not save his life.
!
So for Tian Yi, Nan Muze wanted to get rid of him, but he couldn't grasp his handle, so he didn't know how to do it.
"As for what is said in this memorial, Li Aiqing, I would like to hear your opinion."
Li Xingzhou was considered one of his trusted confidants, and this time Tian Yi recommended his nephew to take the position of Minister of Household Affairs, which meant that Li Xingzhou's status was in danger.
"Your Majesty, it's clear that Prime Minister Tian wants to cultivate his power in the Ministry of Household Affairs. You must not agree!" Li Xingzhou is not stupid. He knows that Tian Yi's wishful thinking is about to hit him. Naturally,
is against.
"Do you think I don't know?" Nan Muze sneered, flicked his sleeves, and pushed the half-stack of uncorrected memorials to the ground. "The prefect, governor, school captain, and Sima all helped.
That old immortal is going to submit a memorial to ask for help from Tian Zhan, haha...he is really capable! He is clearly forcing me!"
He slapped the imperial case in front of him with a "squeaking" sound, just like beating a drum on people's hearts. Just by listening to the sound, you can guess how hard he used his hands.
Li Xingzhou was affected by Nan Muze's anger, and his heart trembled with fear. He let the flying memorials hit the hem of his clothes. He knelt down again and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Your Majesty, please don't eat and drink for these things."
The villain is so angry that the dragon body is so angry!"
Of course Nan Muze knew that Fang Cun was getting more and more chaotic at this time, playing into the hands of Tian Yi and others.
Moreover, the reason why Tian Yi can be so arrogant must have a bigger backer. Otherwise, no matter how capable he is as a prime minister, how could he cause such a big disturbance?
Therefore, the only thing he can do now is to calm down and come up with a way to check and balance them.
He exhaled heavily and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Li Aiqing, you are now one of my important confidants. According to what you see, what should I do?"
"This..." Li Xingzhou rolled his eyes. If he said something bad, he would not only offend Tian Xiang, but also lose his value in front of Nan Muze. For a moment, he really didn't dare to say anything nonsense.
"Isn't there nothing we can do?" Although Nan Muze's tone was very light, there was a hint of threat.
If Li Xingzhou didn't give him an explanation, he would definitely kill him on the spot. After all, he couldn't tolerate idiots around him.
Li Xingzhou was worried about how to answer, when he suddenly remembered a person and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, this veteran may not be able to do anything, but I have thought of the most suitable candidate. If he comes, then everything can be changed.
room."
"who?"
"King Ding."
"Third brother?"
Yes, how could he forget these three younger brothers!
After all, Nan Muchen has disappeared from the court for nearly two years. Two years ago, he was the God of War known to everyone in Nanqi Kingdom. If not for an incident that happened, the position of the emperor would probably have been lost.
It’s not your turn to do it!
Even Tian Xiang, who is very young, is also very wary of Nan Muchen, so when Nan Muchen is in the court, Tian Xiang is basically calm.
Now there are some neutral officials in the court. Most of them have followed Nan Muchen through life and death, or have been under his care. They do not belong to any faction and do not want to get involved in the overt and covert fight between Nan Muchen and Tian Xiang, so they choose to sit on the mountain.
Watch the tiger.
But if Nan Muchen could return to the court and even persuade neutral officials to help him, the situation would be greatly different!
In addition, he is now in the palace and is being watched by countless eye spies installed by Prime Minister Tian. Whether it is dispatching Ouchi's guards or the imperial guards in the palace, the action is too big and will inevitably attract Prime Minister Tian's attention.
And he remembered that Nan Muchen's men clearly had a group of well-trained shadow guards. If Nan Muchen's shadow guards were willing to take action, it shouldn't be difficult to remove Tian Xiang.
Once Prime Minister Tian falls, the forces behind him are ready to emerge.
Seeing Nan Muze's expression relax, Li Xingzhou quickly continued: "I heard that His Highness Prince Ding's hidden illness has been cured by the newly married Princess Ding. Isn't this a God-given opportunity? If Prince Ding
It will definitely be a great thing for His Highness to return to the court to assist the Holy One!"
"Oh? Is that the young lady from the Su family? What's her name... Su?" Nan Muze's shrewd eyes flashed with interest.
Unexpectedly, that young lady from the Su family has some abilities.
Originally, he had no interest in an ordinary businessman's daughter, so he passed it on to Nan Muchen. Unexpectedly, the woman cured Nan Muchen's illness.
"My name is Su Jiqing, Your Majesty," Li Xingzhou reminded.
"Yes, Su Jiqing." Only then did Nan Muze finally show a smile on his face, "Calculating, it should be two months before the young lady of the Su family marries the third brother..."
