In the Jingzhao yamen, Li Chen played with the Governor's Seal in his hand as he muttered to himself.
Although today's incident had caused a huge commotion, it had also saved him a lot of trouble and allowed him to directly wield real power!
Liu Hongji's reputation had already hit rock bottom, and as the people continued to ferment, his reputation would rise steadily!
The reputation of Xian County King Li Chen had finally been established!
Brother, that white-robed scholar is still waiting outside the hall…"
Li Qingquan reminded her softly,
"Why don't you…take him under your wing?”
Li Chen couldn't help but frown.
Why did he still cling on?
Just now, this fellow had followed him, and he had already explicitly rejected him, saying that he would not take in any guests for the time being. However, this fellow did not give up and insisted on following him…This was really poisonous.
"Call him in."
Li Chen waved his hand.
Li Qing Quan called out to the outside, and the white-robed scholar immediately ran in.
"Your Highness, you're finally willing to see me!”
Li Ke said excitedly.
He had been standing outside for almost two hours, and this opportunity had finally arrived.
"You want to cling to this king?"
Li Chen looked at him and said coldly,
"I advise you to give up. The imperial family is not so easy to cling to. A person like you can become cannon fodder at any time.”
"Get lost while I still have a good impression of you!”
His words were blunt, but it was the truth.
The most ruthless was the emperor's family. This did not just refer to the dispute between the emperor and his son.
The person in front of him had the potential to be cannon fodder.
"Your Highness, I, Li Ke, want to follow you, not to cling to the imperial family!”
Li Ke's expression was excited,
"I was convinced by your personal charm, Your Highness! Especially those 16 words, it made me feel that you are the creator of the golden age!”
"Although I'm not talented, I'm willing to follow Your Highness to reorganize the Golden Guards and return peace to Chang 'an. In this way, I won't regret it even if I die!”
He looked at Li Chen with a determined gaze, as if to prove that he was not talking nonsense.
"…You're still an idealist."”
Li Ke was slightly puzzled.
Li Chen didn't respond. He just looked at him for a long time until the other party's hair stood on end. Only then did he retract his gaze.
"Alright, I'm new here and need an errand boy. If I do everything myself, wouldn't it be beneath me?”
In the end, Li Chen nodded and said,
Upon hearing this, Li Ke was overjoyed and bowed to Xian Junwang.
At this moment, he felt that he had found a home for his life!
"There's no need to kowtow. I don't have so many rules here. As long as you do a good job, I'll use you.”
Li Chen ordered,
"Get up, there's something I need you to do!”
Li Ke nodded repeatedly, his face filled with anticipation.
There was something for him to do so soon? Why did he trust her so much?
Shua Shua Shua Shua.
Li Chen wrote furiously. Relying on the " legacy " left behind by the previous Li Chen, not only was he very good at Go, but his calligraphy was also very beautiful.
"For Your Majesty's approval: "
Li Chen was the Commandery Prince and the new Commander-in-Chief, so he had the authority to submit a memorial to the Emperor.
Today's matter would definitely reach Li Yuan's ears in the shortest time possible. As the person involved, he naturally had to report everything in advance to gain an advantage.
……
Pa!
"If Chen 'er hadn't reported it, I wouldn't have known that there was such a dark and unfair thing under my feet!”
His emotions suddenly calmed down, and even his eyes lit up slightly.
At the end, he couldn't help but slap his thigh and cheer loudly,
"Alright, alright! I should teach that idiot Liu Hongji a lesson, hahaha…"
"Good Chen 'er, you really are the number one genius of the royal family. With these words, I want to see who dares to plunder the people's wealth inside and outside the court!”
He laughed loudly, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed, sweeping away the haze of the past few days.
"Your Majesty, did Xian Junwang do something good?”
Li Chen was quite gentle to the eunuchs, so they were all very concerned about Li Chen.
He would even put in a few good words for the Emperor, which formed a virtuous cycle.
This was also one of the reasons why Li Chen was favored by Li Yuan.
Li Yuan smiled.
"It was right for zhen to make him the governor of Jingzhao. Today is only the first day of his appointment, and he has already given zhen such a big surprise!”
He was worried that Li Chen wouldn't be able to suppress Liu Hongji.
"Your Majesty has a keen eye, and Xian Junwang has not let down Your Majesty's expectations. In the future, it will definitely become a good story.”
The chamberlain hurriedly flattered, making Li Yuan feel very happy.
At this moment, a report came from outside.
"Your Majesty, Xiangguo Xiao, Xiangguo Pei, Pavilion Elder Yuwen, and Pavilion Elder Feng are waiting outside the palace gates.”
"What time is it already? Why can't we meet tomorrow?”
"His Majesty is going to bed. Call them back and let them come back tomorrow!”
Heh, this guy, using the tiger's might as a fox really does seem like that kind of thing!
Li Yuan smiled and pointed at the memorial in his hand.
"They must be here for this matter.”
"Look at me, use the truth to seal their mouths!”
……
The four cabinet elders walked side by side, from left to right. They were Xiao Yu, Yuwen Shiji, Feng Deyi, and Pei Ji.
These four people were Li Yuan's top-notch think tanks and the group with the most power in the Tang Empire.
Usually, when Li Yuan wanted to discuss important matters, the first person he would think of was them.
However, when it came to fighting for the country, these people were either radical princelings, radical Qin Wang's faction, or they did not speak up and avoided him. Li Yuan was so angry that he had not been summoned for a private meeting for several days.
Today, they had come together for the first time, and their expressions were somewhat unfriendly.
The moment they entered the palace, before the Emperor could speak, Pei Ji suddenly knelt on the ground and shouted at Li Yuan,"
"Your Majesty, the newly appointed Governor of Jingzhao, Li Chen, has committed a heinous crime. He has just taken office today and killed four Yi Guards on the streets, crippled the nephew of the former Governor, Liu Hongji, and even paraded thousands of Golden Guards in public.”
"Now that it has caused a storm in the city, the imperial court has lost a lot of face!”
"Li Chen is so arrogant and presumptuous. He caused a commotion on the first day of his appointment. The security of the capital region must be stable. How can he give such an important task to a grumpy Commandery Prince?”
"Your Majesty, please remove Li Chen from his position as the governor of the capital and punish him to calm the court!”
