The tyrant empress is my wife, I am invincible and have been hiding

sizzle...

When everyone heard Li Linpu's words, they took a deep breath. They thought that Li Linpu would use Tan Zijian to jump out and testify that Ye Feng was colluding with the Great Xia Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Li Linpu was so decisive and ruthless, and obviously wanted to put Tan Zijian to death. Not only did he not offer help, but he went along with it and wanted to get rid of Tan Zijian.

"Yes! Frame-up of the King Zhenguo is tantamount to deceiving the emperor and deceiving superiors, and he deserves to be put to death." Li Xun, who was standing behind Li Linpu, also understood.

This Tan Zijian is really a fool, now he is questioning Ye Feng in the court. With Ye Feng's current status in the Song Dynasty, how could he overthrow Ye Feng with the words of one person!

They thought that Tan Zijian's meeting with Zhao Qiuyan last night would cause Zhao Qiuyan to be suspicious, but they didn't expect that the emperor didn't care at all.

All the civil and military officials were stunned. They all looked at Li Linpu and his son in astonishment, as if they were watching a play in a theater, with the two men singing in unison.

"Li Limpu, you are so vicious."

Tan Zijian originally thought that Li Linpu would let the romantic old woman come forward to testify that Ye Feng was colluding with General Wang of the Great Xia Dynasty.

However, he did not expect that Li Linpu would add insult to injury. Not only did he not testify for him, he also obviously wanted to take advantage of the situation and get rid of Tan Zijian.

"Master Tan, I advise you to be more tactful in your words. You just slandered the King of Zhenguo, and now you insult me. Do you know that this is a serious crime that will implicate your entire clan?"

Li Limpu's voice sounded coldly.

Tan Zijian's originally ferocious face turned extremely pale. He could naturally hear that Li Linpu was threatening him with his family.

The corners of Ye Feng's mouth slightly raised. Since Li Linpu wanted to do him a favor, he would naturally not refuse. He just wanted to make Li Linpu completely lose his influence in Jinling City of the Song Dynasty.

"May I ask, Your Excellency the Prime Minister, how should we deal with Tan Zijian?"

Li Linpu almost flew into a rage when he heard this, but fortunately his years of experience told him that he should stay calm, as this was Ye Ze's evil plan.

But now he was in a dilemma. If he didn't punish Tan Zijian, Ye Feng would not let it go even if he scolded Tan Zijian just now. If he dealt with Tan Zijian, who in the whole Jinling City would dare to work for him, Li Linpu? He was really in a dilemma.

"Your Majesty, Lord Tan was confused for a moment and committed deceit and offense. He can escape death, but he cannot escape punishment for his crime." Li Linpu's eyes flickered slightly. "Why not remove him from his post as Minister of Rites and let him return to his hometown to retire and enjoy his old age."

"As expected of you, Prime Minister. You have thought it through very carefully." Ye Feng nodded. He had to admit that Li Linpu was quite clear-headed. This not only saved Tan Zijian's life, but also gave no excuses. "Master Yu, just follow the Prime Minister's instructions."

"As ordered!"

Yu Shouren bowed and saluted, and couldn't help being shocked. They didn't expect that Ye Feng could dismiss the Minister of Rites Tan Zijian so easily.

Tan Zijian has always been Li Linpu's vanguard, following his lead and obeying his orders. Now Li Linpu is obviously sacrificing the pawn to save the master and protect himself.

I'm afraid that all the other civil and military officials who follow Li Linpu will try their best to distance themselves from Li Linpu as soon as possible.

Even if Li Linpu was cunning and treacherous, there was no evidence that he had committed a crime. As prime minister, he would have no one under him, and his power would have lost its meaning.

"High! It's really high!"

Many people secretly sighed in their hearts that Ye Feng had achieved multiple goals at one stroke. He had directly hollowed out the power of Prime Minister Li Linpu without making a fuss.

But now Li Linpu had no choice but to swallow his anger. After all, it was he who proposed to punish Tan Zijian.

Tan Zijian's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth. Thinking of the safety of his entire family, young and old, he did not dare to provoke Li Linpu.

He didn't dare to continue to provoke Ye Feng. With the iron-blooded tactics that Ye Feng had shown before, he would kill if he said he would, and he would show no mercy.

"Retreat."

When Wei Xian saw that Tan Zijian had been dismissed and the matter was almost settled, he shouted at the top of his voice, which echoed throughout the court hall. Ye Feng turned around and left.

……

"Master Ban is so young, yet he is highly valued by the King of Zhenguo and has been promoted to the Minister of Rites. He has a bright future ahead of him."

Ban Chao was standing outside the court, and several officials suddenly came up to him. They were all assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites, right servants of the Ministry of Rites, and the like.

"My lords, there is no need to flatter me. I like honest people. In the future, we will all be in charge of the Ministry of Rites. Don't let down the expectations of the King of Zhenguo and His Majesty."

When Ban Chao heard the flattering words coming to his ears, his eyes became solemn. The reason why he was unwilling to be an official was that he knew very well that the higher the official position, the greater the responsibility.

Li Linpu and Li Xun walked out of the court. They just turned around, glanced at Ban Chao, and turned away with anger on their faces.

Qu Xuan had a dazed look on his face. He knew very well in his heart that since Tan Zijian had given up just because Li Linpu told him to, he, as the Minister of Works, was probably not far from being dismissed.

"Brother Tan, what are your plans?"

Qu Xuan walked up to the distraught Tan Zijian. One of them was the Minister of Works and the other was the Minister of Rites. They had once been so high-spirited.

"What else can I do? I'll retire and return home. I've had enough of the intrigues and flattery in the court for so many years." Tan Zijian said in a low voice. If anyone is not obsessed with power, then he must be a liar. In the current situation, Li Linpu can't even protect himself, so it's naturally impossible for him to protect them. Being able to retire and return home and leave Jinling City with his whole family is also a happy ending.

"Do you think the Prime Minister still has a chance?"

Qu Xuan and Tan Zijian were walking, and he didn't know if Li Linpu still had a chance to get up. It was obvious that Li Linpu had been completely defeated in front of Ye Feng.

……

Prime Minister's House.

Li Limpu's face was grim, and in front of him were teacups that he had smashed.

The servants around did not dare to come up to clean.

"Dad! Dad! Something terrible has happened."

Li Xun's anxious voice came from outside the room, and he was seen hurriedly walking in front of Li Lipu, panting.

"What's the big deal? Didn't I ask you to go to the Blood Shadow Pavilion and urge them to take action against Ye Feng as soon as possible?" Li Linpu knew very well that the only chance now was for the killer from the Blood Shadow Pavilion to assassinate Ye Feng.

Therefore, when he left the court, he asked Li Xun to go to the branch of the Blood Shadow Pavilion and urge them to take action against Ye Feng.

"Dad! I went to the branch of the Blood Shadow Pavilion and found that the tables and benches inside were covered with dust. There was no one there. It was obvious that the place was deserted."

Li Xun was shocked. He really didn't understand why the Blood Shadow Pavilion was deserted? Over the years, the Blood Shadow Pavilion had to complete its missions and fight to the death.

It seems very strange to leave without saying goodbye.
