Although Li Yifu was recommended as an official early, because he came from a poor family, even when he reached the level of prime minister in the later period, he was still a local bully who was looked down upon.

For this matter, he made a big move to apply for revision of the "Clan Chronicle", requiring that all the fifth rank and above will be included in the scholarship, regardless of the origin of the disciple.

This shows how important the "Scholar" class is in the eyes of Li Yifu.

However, when faced with "important" things, people have many choices. People with Taoism will work hard to strive for them; people with Buddha nature will face them calmly; while people with demon nature will not do so, they will find ways to destroy them.

Li Yifu is such a demonic person. When he is unable to join the sect, he admires the gentry extremely much on the one hand, and on the other hand, he hates the gentry extremely immensely.

So when he received the imperial edict from His Majesty Li Er, the young Li Yifu was ecstatic. After Xu Jingzong arrived in the evening, he enthusiastically pulled Lao Xu and didn't know what to say, but just kept talking about His Majesty's wiseness and so on.

"Yifu, I hope you don't forget who gave it to you all." Xu Jingzong was a little unhappy with Li Yifu's enthusiasm and couldn't help but whine him.

Most of the time he was able to survive until today was thanked by Li Er, so he lacked any favors for Li Shimin, if it were not for the Tang Dynasty being a society with distinct hierarchy...

Li Yifu later had the nickname of Li Mao, so how could he not hear the dissatisfaction in Xu Jingzong's words? After thinking about it carefully, he immediately burst into cold sweat. Just now he was just concerned about happiness and completely forgot who could give him what he had today, and who promoted his Majesty Li Er to give him the treatment he has now.

Thinking of this, Li Yifu bowed to Xu Jingzong: "Brother Yan clan, thank you for reminding me that Yifu has received education, and has received education!"

"It's good that you can know who gave you all this. In the future, you will have a broad road in the future." Xu Jingzong taught Li Yifu a lesson in a fake manner, but in fact he was establishing his own dominance.

After all, Li Yi Mansion was promoted by Li Chengqian himself, but Xu Jingzong took the initiative to surrender, and in comparison, the superiority and inferiority were revealed. Therefore, in order not to let Li Yi Mansion ride on his future, Xu Jingzong would do anything to suppress him.

Li Yi Mansion is still young after all, and lacks a lot of experience in the officialdom. He has been taught a lesson by Xu Jingzong and dare not refute it. He just kept smiling: "Brother Yan clan, you are a lot of lords. When you look back, you must say a few good words to your brother. Please!"

"It depends on how your errands are done. If you mess up the errands, I'm afraid I'm not going to talk about it at Your Highness." Xu Jingzong put himself in the position of a leader and explained Li Chengqian's instructions: "Your Highness told us to start the investigation from Chang'an County, but the Chang'an County Magistrate Cui Yu seemed to be from our side, so he had to think about what to do."

"This matter is easy to handle, and it is difficult to handle. Everything depends on how much Your Highness wants to do." Li Yifu deserves to be known as Li Mao, and said without thinking: "If Your Highness wants to protect the magistrate of Chang'an County, we can ask Chang'an County to conduct a self-inspection. After they have finished the investigation, we will take action."

"If your highness doesn't like this Chang'an County Magistrate, we will investigate secretly first and report the investigation results directly to Dali Temple, so that he will never turn over."

Li Yifu tried his best to show his ability, but he still hid some key issues and just perfunctory Xu Jingzong on the surface.

However, Xu Jingzong did not seem to have the intention to let Li Yifu continue to speak in depth. Seeing that his attitude was clear, he smiled and said, "Your Highness's meaning is very simple, I guarantee Cui Yu."

Li Yifu lowered his head and thought for a while, raised his head and said, "Actually, it is very simple for us to protect the next person. It's just that the way His Highness dealt with Wannian County the last time was too extreme, which has some impact on our next task."

With Li Yifu's personality, he didn't care about anyone else who had nothing to do with him, even Li Er and Li Chengqian were the same. At the moment, it was just the two who controlled his future destiny, so they had to compromise.

Even if it weren't for the fear that Li Chengqian would make him lose his future, Li Yifu would have wanted to take this opportunity to directly jump to Li Er's disciple. After all, for now, following Lao Li is much more promising than following Xiao Li.

"Chang'an County is the first case we have received. We must handle it properly no matter what. We strive to satisfy Your Highness. As for the difficulties... in fact, there are difficulties in doing anything. If there is no difficulties, why should you use us?" Xu Jingzong put his position very straight, and it sounded like Li Chengqian's loyalty.

Li Yifu's thoughts were heard, and under Xu Jingzong's gaze, he said seriously: "The Yan clan brother means Yifu. We are also working for His Highness. We should follow His Highness's leader. As long as it is His Highness's order, even if it is his highness's order, the Yifu will be completed."

It is just a sign of loyalty, and it is no problem for people like Li Yifu. Anyway, what he said is like a fart. If he needs it, he can say such loyalty for an hour without repeating it.

Xu Jingzong sat aside and watched Li Yifu performing there, with a similar smile on his face: "Since that's the case, let's discuss it, and settle the matter in the capital earlier, and it's better to leave Beijing earlier."

"Brother Yan clan said this is exactly what I want." Li Yifu smiled and turned his body toward Xu Jingzong, "But brother would like to give me some clarity first. How much should we do this time?"

"Kill all the sword!" Xu Jingzong put away his smile, and the dim candlelight cast a shadow on his face, and his expression looked very gloomy.

Li Yifu was shocked and said casually: "Your Highness is planning to start a full war?"

"This has nothing to do with us. Our task is to completely wipe out the minions of the aristocratic families in various prefectures and then complete the task. As for what kind of game there is on it, it is not something we should worry about."

Xu Jingzong said against his will and didn't even believe it. He knew that he was already a pawn, but the feeling of being unable to resist made him feel very uncomfortable.

But despite this, he and Li Yifu had to rush to be Li Chengqian's pawns, because those noble families looked down on people like them at all and would not give them much benefits. Only Li Chengqian would appreciate them for some purpose and use them.

Even if people like them know they are being used, they are unable to turn back. They can only move forward under the influence of some inertia until they finally fall to pieces.

This made Xu Jingzong sigh: It’s so difficult to be a treacherous minister these days!
