"Wow!"
All the officials present were in an uproar. Their eyes were all focused on Xiang Guotian. Everyone was trembling. Is Your Majesty going to deal with Xiang Guotian?
"thump!"
Xiang Guotian did not live up to his arrogance just now. He knelt down suddenly, breaking out in cold sweat, and said in fear: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I am guilty. I am guilty of death. I did not expect that Zhao Qingye turned out to be such a thing. I wholeheartedly serve the court." I was selected and appointed, but I was deceived by this beast. The old minister was guilty of negligence, please forgive me!"
He kowtowed frantically and begged for his life.
He knew very well that with Li Yi's temper, it was possible to destroy his entire Xiang family by seizing this matter.
Li Yi, however, sneered and treated him coldly, "Oh, is that so? But I just pledged my head to my lord as a guarantee. Jun Wuxi, you are not going to lie to me too, are you?"
"Ah, this..." Xiang Guotian was so frightened that he turned around and asked Ning Wen for help. But Ning Wen was also a clay Buddha crossing the river and could not protect himself, so he could not care about him.
With a smile on his lips, Li Yi walked step by step to Xiang Guotian, "God is kind to you, so I don't want your dog's head."
Hearing this, the stone in Xiang Guotian's heart thumped and fell to the ground. He was about to thank him, but the next second, Li Yi changed his tone and said coldly: "Resign from your official position and go home to retire."
"Ah, this... Your Majesty..." Xiang Guotian's expression suddenly changed. Is Your Majesty going to take away the staff as well?
This has undoubtedly shaken the foundation of Ning Wen and his group. Two of the six ministers have gone. Without Xiang Guotian, the six ministers will be completely indifferent.
Seeing this, Ning Wen endured the pain of broken ribs and bravely came out to rescue him, "Your Majesty, Sir Xiang is indeed guilty of negligence, but he was temporarily deceived by the villain, so he made such a guarantee, but it is a crime of negligence. , All the ministers made mistakes, and I cannot let Sir Xiang bear the responsibility alone."
Li Yi sneered, "You mean it's my fault?"
Hearing this, Ning Wen's face turned ugly.
Whenever Li Yi showed such a smile, he felt deeply terrified, which indicated that Li Yi was going to hit someone again.
Comparatively speaking, Xiang Guotian was the most miserable. He was just a messenger, and ended up being the worst scapegoat. He didn't care about his old face and hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me." This veteran has an opportunity to make meritorious deeds."
Li Yi looked stern and said nothing, and the atmosphere instantly solidified.
The more this happens, it means that Li Yi is really angry.
The group of sycophants headed by Ning Wen was even more worried. Could it be that His Majesty would take the opportunity to take down the Ministry of Personnel? This is indeed very possible. After all, the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Punishment were taken away in this way.
As time passed by, the atmosphere became more and more tense, and the only sound on the campus of Nottingham University was the sound of wind.
Xiang Guotian has been kowtowing crazily, with blood streaming from his forehead, but he doesn't dare to stop. If he stops, it might be the end of him.
The dignified Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, one of the six bureaucracies, with overwhelming power, kowtowed to the useless little emperor today and begged for mercy. This old face was completely lost.
But there's no other way. It's better to lose face than lose your life, right?
At this moment, Li Yi suddenly turned his back, pretending to be embarrassed, and sighed: "The admiral of the capital camp is of great importance and cannot always be vacant. What should I do?"
Hearing this, how could Ning Wen, an old man, not understand the underlying meaning?
He immediately bowed and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. The admiral of the Beijing camp is indispensable. Since Zhao Qingye has neither talent nor virtue, I recommend Cao Fengyang, a student of Mr. Sun Ge, to be the admiral of the Beijing camp."
Xiang Guotian was not stupid either. He followed closely and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, what Master Ning said is absolutely true. Cao Fengyang has noble moral character and outstanding talents. He is indeed the best candidate for the admiral of the Beijing camp."
Li Yi heard this and sneered: "Really? Don't you two adults need to investigate again?"
"No!" Xiang Guotian was the most eager and agreed with both hands, "I think Cao Fengyang is the most suitable for the position of admiral of the Beijing camp. There is no other person in the world who is suitable. Everyone else, don't you think so?"
He winked at his group members eagerly, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead. He wished he could agree quickly, otherwise I would be dead.
Many of the remaining ministers looked ugly and felt unwilling, but they still compromised.
If Cao Fengyang came to power, the military power of the Beijing camp would fall to the little emperor.
All the soldiers and horses within the five gates of the capital belong to the little emperor!
The most frustrating thing is that this is what they begged to give to Li Yi.
I wonder if Mr. Yan will be so angry that he vomits blood if he knows this news?
But when the matter has reached this point, there is no other way to solve it. If the military power of the Beijing camp is not sent out, Xiang Guotian will not be able to leave alive today. No one can stop him from deceiving the emperor!
Wei Jun, the Minister of Rites, gritted his teeth, smiled and said flatteringly: "Your Majesty, I agree, and I also recommend Cao Fengyang to be the admiral of the capital camp!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Cun, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and other ministers recommended Cao Fengyang one after another, and both civil and military officials in the court agreed that Cao Fengyang should serve as the admiral of the Beijing camp.
"Don't force it?"
Li Yi sneered secretly, these old dogs just need to be dealt with. If they are not dealt with, they will not be obedient. You see, it will be much better if they are dealt with. Then he said coldly: "There are traitors in the court who are causing trouble in this matter from the beginning to the end. I Isn’t it too much to deal with these traitors?”
"It's not too much, he should be killed!" Xiang Guotian was already frightened, and now he agreed to whatever Li Yi said.
Li Yi suppressed a smile and nodded: "Look, Sir Xiang is indeed my loyal minister. It's very good, but don't vouch for others in the future. Even if you guarantee it, don't use your own head. Otherwise, your head will be gone." .”
"Isn't it uncomfortable to sit back after you pooped?"
Hearing this sarcasm, Xiang Guotian's face turned extremely ugly. His aggrieved old face was dark and red. He could only nod his head and agreed, "No, what your Majesty taught me is that I know it."
This time, Li Yi returned home with a great victory!
The group of sycophants headed by Ning Wen were really dumb and unable to express their sufferings. They were completely silent and were so angry that they almost vomited blood.
"Okay, since everyone recommends Cao Fengyang, I will also meet the future admiral of the capital camp."
Li Yi waved his hand, "Here comes Xuan Cao Fengyang!"
"promise!"
Not long after, Cao Fengyang walked over with an air of dignity, as if he had been waiting outside the door for a long time.
People came so quickly!
A trap, this must be a trap!
The little emperor is going to sing the double act again.
Ning Wenji's face turned green with anger, as if he had eaten a dead fly.
Your Majesty is so cunning, he has already set a trap for them to get into.
"Cao Fengyang, a common man, pays homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!" Cao Fengyang was neither humble nor arrogant. His aura was like a rainbow. Although he was dressed in simple cloth, he was full of energy, like a sharp sword that made people dare not look directly at him.
Li Yi nodded repeatedly with satisfaction. This is the style that a general in Dafeng should have. He immediately issued an order, "Cao Fengyang, from now on, I will officially appoint you as the admiral of the Beijing Camp and the commander-in-chief of the troops in the Beijing Camp."
"Promise, I accept the order!" Cao Fengyang bowed deeply.
"Okay, a thousand armies are easy to get, but a general is hard to find. I am very happy to get Cao Aiqing." Li Yi said again: "I will give you three months to go to the capital camp to train an elite army for me to defend it for me. If anything goes wrong at the gate of the capital, I will ask you!"
Cao Fengyang was neither humble nor arrogant. He lowered his head and said, "Promise, I will obey your order."
"Before that, I also want to give you a vaccination in advance. There are many arrogant soldiers in the Beijing camp, most of whom are children of powerful people. I am worried that it will be inconvenient for you, so I will give you the Shangfang sword. You can kill them first and then show them!"
Shang Fang's sword, cut first and then play!
These eight words made Ning Wen's expression suddenly change. What kind of situation is this? Are you even given such privileges?
The Beijing camp was previously under the Ministry of War, and Ning Wen, the Minister of War, was in control. But with Shang Fang's sword, the privilege of killing first and then reporting later, even Ning Wen could not interfere, and could even control him in turn.
How could Ning Wen endure this? He immediately jumped out to stop him, but Li Yi scared him back with just one look.
If you dare to object and give it a try, I will kill Xiang Guotian first. If you don’t believe it, try it!
A look that frightened Ning Wen so much that he swallowed back the words that came to his mouth, almost breaking his gums.
Someone's heart skipped a beat as they suddenly realized that Your Majesty had first taken down the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Punishment, then Dali Temple, Shuntian Mansion, and now the Capital Camp, taking away half of the power of the entire capital. What is Your Majesty going to do?
Is it possible that His Majesty really wants to revive Dafeng and solemnly assert imperial power? As for Mr. Yan...
I no longer dare to continue imagining it.
now.
No matter how stable Cao Fengyang is, no matter how unfazed he is by favors and humiliations, he can't hold back the joy in his heart. As a disciple of the Sun Ting Sect, he is still doing nothing at the age of thirty. Now that he is appreciated by the emperor, how dare he refuse to die in service!
He immediately bowed and bowed, his voice trembling, "Your Majesty, Cao Fengyang, is willing to swear allegiance to your Majesty to the death, and I will never regret it. Your Majesty will live forever, and may you live forever!"
Li Yi was overjoyed and got another good general. From now on, the capital truly belongs to him. He is one step closer to eradicating the sycophants and clearing up the court in the Ming Dynasty!
"Cao Aiqing, get up and come forward to receive Shang Fang's sword!" Li Yi wanted to give it to him with his own hands.
It was the first time that the emperor showed such great love to Cao Fengyang. Countless envious eyes were focused on Cao Fengyang.
Cao Fengyang was even more flattered. He raised his hands above his head and showed the utmost respect.
When the two of them got close, Li Yi said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Kill if you must, I will support you from behind!"
Cao Fengyang's eyes were firm and he solemnly said: "Promise, I will obey your decree and will never let down His Majesty's kindness!"
