Li Shi Min glared at Li Ke and laughed.
"What's wrong? Are you still complaining that others don't have enough tricks up their sleeves and haven't played you to death?”
Li Shi Min roared.
"Do you know that in this situation, even I can't do anything!”
"I can't say. In the end, I can only hand you over to appease the anger of the aristocratic families!”
"The Great Tang doesn't have the King of Shu, but if there's no one from the aristocratic families to be an official, the entire Great Tang will fall into chaos.”
"Aren't you anxious at all?!"
Li Shi Min was furious. The situation was already irreversible.
The aristocratic families valued their reputation the most. This time, they had been played by Li Ke until they had no face at all, which was why they had mobilized all their forces to fight.
The only way was to deal with Li Ke and appease the anger of the aristocratic families.
If it was Li Ke before, Li Shiming would have given up on him without hesitation, but now it was different.
Li Ke's strength made Li Shi Min feel indispensable.
Most importantly, Li Ke's scientific knowledge was crucial to the future of the Great Tang.
But the great clans controlled the Great Tang.
One was the future, and the other was the present. Li Shiming could not choose between them.
She was like an ant on a hot pan, anxious to death.
Li Ke was still so calm. Li Shiming really wanted to strangle him, but he didn't dare!
Until now, he still hoped that Li Ke would have an idea to solve this problem.
"Does Imperial Father want to punish me?“
Li Ke smiled.
"I don't mind."
"In the past few months, the people of Guanzhong Road have been able to survive, and their lives have been getting better and better, all because of me. My reputation among the people has far surpassed that of Father and the entire Imperial Court.”
"It doesn't matter if I die. I'm just afraid that when the time comes, everything won't be able to continue. The commoners won't be satisfied and will start a riot.”
"If Guanzhong is in chaos, then the entire world will be in chaos. I'm afraid the Li Tang Empire will really be finished.”
Li Shi Min was so angry that he gritted his teeth and wanted to strangle Li Ke.
"You still dare to say that all of this was caused by you!”
Li Shi Min said angrily.
"Stop talking nonsense. I know you have a way. Tell me, how should we resolve this now?”
Li Shi Min had calmed down. Seeing Li Ke's relaxed state, he was sure that Li Ke would have a way to solve it.
"Very simple."
Li Ke said with a smile.
"You issued an edict ordering me to be the regent and manage the country.”
"In two months, we will return the Great Tang to clarity.”
"The aristocratic families will no longer be able to oppose the imperial court and threaten the imperial rule!”
Li Shi Min was stunned.
He didn't expect Li Ke to actually want the power of regent. This was the power that only the Crown Prince was qualified to have!
Was Li Ke going to be the Crown Prince?
He still couldn't hold it in?
However, this was not the main point. The important thing was that Li Ke had said that within two months, he would deal with the aristocratic families!
"Are you sure?"
Li Shi Min pondered for a while and asked with a frown.
"Do I ever go back on my word?”
Li Ke smiled and asked.
Li Shi Min nodded.
That's right, Li Ke's methods were much more powerful than his own. The troubles that the court could not solve several times were all solved by Li Ke.
Now that he was helpless, he might as well let Li Ke try.
In any case, if it didn't work in the end, he would push everything onto Li Ke. He would kill Li Ke and give the aristocratic families an explanation. He would continue to maintain the cooperation with the aristocratic families. Li Tang's Jiangshan would still be there.
"Alright, I promise you!"
Li Shi Min said seriously.
"Pass down the decree. The King of Shu, Li Ke, is gentle, kind, respectful, thrifty, diligent, studious, and intelligent. He is deeply in my heart. I specially order the King of Shu to be the regent and manage the country.”
"The three provinces, six departments, and all the local officials will listen to your orders.”
"Those who disobey will be punished for treason!"
……
The imperial court was immediately alarmed when the decree was issued.
No one had expected that Li Shimin would actually issue such an edict to let Li Ke be the regent and manage the country.
Could it be that His Majesty was planning to fight the aristocratic families to the death?
"Mother, what does father mean? Is he going to make Li Ke the Crown Prince?”
Li Chengqian asked uneasily.
"Silly boy, why don't you take a look at the situation now?”
Empress Zhangsun sneered.
"The officials of the aristocratic families fought to the death with Li Ke and imposed various punishments on the court, leaving behind a mess.”
"Your father asked Li Ke to oversee the country so that he could solve the problem and give an explanation to the aristocratic families.”
"How can he be the Crown Prince!"
Li Chengqian was still worried.
"Then what if Li Ke solved the problem? Will Imperial Father make him the Crown Prince?”
Empress Zhangsun shook her head and sneered.
"Impossible!"
"Whatever it is, whatever problem, Li Ke can solve it, but only the aristocratic families have enough talents to be officials. Li Ke has no way to solve it.”
"This is a dead end!"
"Li Ke must die!"
Only then did Li Chengqian feel relieved and no longer afraid.
The next day, in Taiji Palace, Li Shimin officially introduced Li Ke to the officials.
He also made it clear that Li Ke's decision was a decree for the next period of time, and the officials in the court had to abide by it.
After saying that, Li Shi Min chose to leave and even gave up Taiji Palace.
"This is the name list drawn up by the Ministry of Rites. A total of 327 people have chosen to resign.”
Li Ke held a name list and said with a smile.
"Among them, there are 47 officials in Chang 'an, and the remaining 200 are local officials from Guanzhong Road, Hedong Road, and Hexi Road.”
"How troublesome."
The aristocratic family officials all sneered, waiting to see Li Ke make a fool of himself.
Now you know how troublesome it is, and now you know how to be afraid?
It was too late!
Your King of Shu is finished this time!
"But our Great Tang never forces others to do things they aren't willing to do. Since you want to resign, this king will allow it!”
Li Ke threw away the name list in his hand and said with a smile.
"All the officials who have resigned will be approved!”
"Not only that!"
"There's also a list of problematic officials that were investigated by my Shu Royal Guards.”
"There are a total of 104 people. All of them will be dismissed from office and handed over to the Ministry of Justice and the Supreme Court for joint interrogation.”
"In short,"
Li Ke laughed mockingly.
"If you don't want to be an official, then scram. Our Great Tang has no lack of talent!”
