The Son of Heaven is 15 years old this year. Originally, it would be a matter of course for him to take charge of the government in one year, but he would have to wait another three years for Yan Shouzhuo's frivolous words.

Now, these civil servants have basically broken their skins with Emperor Yuanzhao. They will never let Emperor Yuanzhao really take charge of the government, otherwise they will all be killed by then. Proposing to take charge of the government now is just a way to delay the army.

If the plan is successful, these civil servants will be in charge of the government for the next three years. At that time, they will put their own people inside and outside the court. By then, it will be much easier to abolish and establish the emperor than it is now.

Emperor Yuanzhao took a deep breath, and after trying to calm down, he turned his head to look at the chief governor, Ji Lin, and said coldly, "The chief governor also meant this?"

Ji Lin knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I'm in charge of military affairs, it's not suitable for meddling in political affairs. Everything is decided by Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager."

At this time, if the Metropolitan Government does not object, it already supports it.

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion had a bad relationship with Li Xin, and now the public opinion is not on the emperor's side at all, coupled with the daily lobbying of those civil servants, now the Metropolitan Governor's ass has more or less turned to the civil officials' side.

Emperor Yuanzhao sneered: "How do I choose, can you still listen to it?"

Ji Lin knelt on the ground, silent.

The atmosphere became stalemate again.

At this time, Xiao Huai, an eunuch in lavender clothes, trotted up to his godfather Xiao Zheng, whispered a few words in his ear, Xiao Zheng frowned, walked up to the emperor, bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, Marquis Li Grandpa is here."

Emperor Yuanzhao's face brightened, and just as he was about to announce Li Xin to come in, he heard Xiao Zheng continue to say: "Your Majesty, Li Houye...brought forty or fifty Habayashi guards to Yong'an Gate, and now he has arrived The gate of Weiyang Palace is closed, what do you mean..."

It stands to reason that no matter who it is, it is impossible to bring the imperial guards along with you.

Emperor Yuanzhao frowned first, then closed his eyes, and said, "Let Master Li come in."

Xiao Zheng nodded and gestured to Xiao Huai.

Xiao Huai understood, ran to the gate of Weiyang Palace, and sang loudly.

"Xuan Taifu has an audience—"

This singing was high-pitched and very penetrating.

At the same time, the people kneeling in the front row in Weiyang Palace were all shocked.

Shen Kuan even turned his head to look at Yan Shouzhuo, his eyes were full of surprise.

Yan Sikong also frowned greatly. At this moment, all the civil servants had only one thought in their hearts.

How did he come back?

While everyone was thinking, the Marquis of Jing'an, who was wearing a purple court dress, had already walked into Weiyang Palace.

Because there has been a lot of wind and snow in the past few days, Xin Xin's face is a little red, and his skin is a little rough, but he is tall and wearing a tall court dress, walking in the Weiyang Palace, he has a lot of momentum .

Lord Jing'an walked into Weiyang Palace, and first knelt down to salute the emperor, and the emperor Yuanzhao stood up quickly, motioning him to be exempt from the ceremony.

After Li Taifu got up, he looked back at the civil servants who were kneeling on the ground, with a bright smile on his face.

"Everyone."

"long time no see."

Chapter 921 I went to kill someone

More than ten years ago, after the change of Renchen Palace, Li Xin was already the Marquis of Jing'an, but at that time he was still a young man of seventeen or eighteen years old. Although he held a high position and authority, these old people in the capital only regarded him as He is a nouveau riche. Although he is respected on the surface, it is inevitable to treat him like a child.

But now Lord Jing'an is 28 years old.

He started to grow a beard when he had his first child. After more than ten years of ups and downs in the court, coupled with the training of the officialdom and the battlefield, the current Jing'an Houye is not to say that he has a terrifying aura, but he already has some old princes on him. Ye Cheng's shadow.

In the entire court, no matter who it was, including the emperor, no one dared to underestimate him.

He just said hello softly, and the eyes of Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and the others all flickered slightly.

Li Houye smiled kindly, glanced at the many civil servants kneeling on the ground, and said with a smile: "I drove all day yesterday, and I got up late today, so I couldn't come to the court meeting early in the morning. What are you all discussing? Why are you all kneeling on the ground?" with?"

"My Dajin, it seems that there is no rule of kneeling and discussing politics?"

Shen Kuan was silent for a while, stood up from the ground, and said, "Didn't Taifu Li go back to his hometown to visit his mother's grave? When did you come back to Beijing?"

Li Xin looked calm and spoke indifferently.

"Originally, I was in my hometown in Yongzhou, and I planned to rest for two or three years before talking about it, but when I heard that something happened in the southwest, it seemed that there was a dispute between the Shu Palace and the imperial court, and a fight was about to start, so I wanted to go back to Beijing to ask When I asked what happened, I just arrived in the capital yesterday."

"Shen Xiang and Yan Sikong both knelt on the ground, I wonder why?"

Shen Kuan was silent for a while, and bowed slightly: "The Tai Tuo has a noble status, but he is not a minister appointed by the late emperor. We are ordered by the late emperor to assist in the administration and management of the country. Today's matter is related to our Dajin society. Taifu don't interfere."

Having said that, he paused for a moment, then looked at the officials kneeling on the ground in Weiyang Palace, and said in a deep voice: "Otherwise, you will be enemies of all the court officials!"

These civil servants are not very afraid of the emperor, firstly because the emperor is not in charge, and secondly because the emperor has to take care of his reputation, but they are afraid of such unreasonable Qiu Ba as Li Xin, this Marquis Li has been in the court for more than ten years, He has always been unscrupulous in doing things, and never suffers, but he still has the forbidden army in his hands. If he really wants to intervene and stand on the side of the emperor, today's affairs will be very difficult.

The Marquis of Jing'an ignored Shen Kuan, but turned his head to look at Emperor Yuanzhao, and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, I have just returned to Beijing, and I don't know what happened in the capital. Could Your Majesty explain this to me?"

Emperor Yuanzhao nodded, and said to Xiao Zheng: "Go and tell Master Li about the cause and effect."

Xiao Zheng nodded immediately, walked down the imperial steps, came to Li Xin's side, bowed his head, and told Li Xin the ins and outs of the whole thing.

After Jing'an Hou Ye finished listening, he took two steps forward and reached the front row of the officials, then turned around and faced the officials, the smile on his face had disappeared.

With a blank expression on his face, he looked at the officials kneeling on the ground.

"Everyone, is this a palace change, or a rebellion?"

Shen Kuan snorted angrily: "The Son of Heaven has lost his virtue. We are just asking the Son of Heaven to suspend his pro-government and cultivate his virtue. All the ministers in the palace have already nodded in agreement. Your Majesty will still be His Majesty at that time. How can it be that the palace has changed? Taifu Li, don't want to spout blood!"

"Hundreds of officials knelt down and threatened the emperor, how could it not be a palace change?"

Lord Jing'an sneered: "A group of bold people who don't want to repent at this time, thinking that the court can't do anything to you if there are so many people?"

He looked back at the emperor, bowed his head and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and others have openly formed cliques in the court and coerced each other. Up to now, more than half of the courtiers in Weiyang Palace have no king!"

"The rules established by the ancestors of the Great Jin Dynasty are that the emperor was in charge at the age of 16, Emperor Wu ascended the throne at the age of 13, and was already in charge of the government at the age of 15. Today they can unite to force His Majesty to suspend the pro-government, and tomorrow they can use the same method to abolish the emperor!"

Having said that, Lord Jing'an turned his head to look at Shen Kuan with a cold voice.

"The former emperor established ministers, and he established ministers who assist the emperor, not ministers who abolished the emperor. Today, you openly coerce the emperor to coerce the emperor. What do you intend to do?"

Li Xin cupped his fists respectfully at the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly!"

These words can be said to have reached the emperor's heart. The emperor waited all morning for this sentence. He took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly.

"I... also have this intention, so I ask Master Li to temporarily lead the Habayashi Guard and the Qianniu Guard to thoroughly investigate this matter!"
