Li Wu cursed Cao Xian in his heart, "You are going to die, so just die honestly." I will take care of your wife and daughter for you. Cao Xian's words for help made Li Wu extremely passive.
Li Wu looked towards Zhao Shan, and happened to see Zhao Shan looking over with a half-smiling look, and his heart suddenly sank.
Fell into a trap!
Zhao Shan had calculated that Cao Xian was greedy for life and afraid of death. Once Cao Xian faced death, he would be involved.
Li Wu thought about the key point clearly and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, Cao Xian used the celestial phenomena to submit a letter. It was his own decision and has nothing to do with me. Please observe it carefully."
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "Li Shangshu is loyal and loyal, I believe in you."
Killing Li Wu is indeed possible.
But if Li Wu is killed, the Li family will immediately rebel. Zhao Shan just traveled through yesterday. He only has a few forbidden troops in his hands and no army to control Luoyang. Now the Li family is forced to a dead end, making it easy for others to take advantage of them.
In Luoyang City, it is not only Li Wu who has treacherous intentions, but also people from other forces. Zhao Shan still needs time to develop his strength.
Li Wu knew that Zhao Shan was afraid of him, so he breathed a sigh of relief and bowed: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
Cao Xian was confused instead.
Zhao Shan reconciled with Li Wu and he became cannon fodder. Cao Xian was unwilling to give in and shouted: "Li Shangshu, you cannot ignore death. Your Majesty, the old ministers' letters to advise are all arranged by Li Wu."
Li Wu said urgently: "Your Majesty, Cao Xian has committed corruption, accepted bribes, and colluded with the vassal king. He has committed a heinous crime. Your Majesty, please kill Cao Xian immediately."
Cao Xian's eyes were crazy and he said angrily: "Li Wu, you betrayed your trust and will not die well."
Wow! !
Countless officials in the hall were discussing.
The officials affiliated with Li Wu were a little cold-hearted. Li Wu has abandoned Cao Xian now, and he will abandon them when he encounters difficulties.
More officials looked at Zhao Shan with awe. Li Wu had great power and powerful methods, but he was forced by Zhao Shan to abandon Cao Xian to protect himself. His methods were really powerful.
Zhao Shan coughed twice, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
At this moment, all the officials were solemn.
Zhao Shan said in a deep voice: "The dignified imperial censor has colluded with the vassal king to rebel. He should be punished for his crime. He should be dragged down and beheaded."
The soldiers dragged the screaming Cao Xian down, and soon a scream was heard.
Cao Xian was executed.
Zhao Shan looked distressed and said: "Cao Xian's annual salary is only a few hundred taels of silver, but behind his back, he embezzled countless amounts of money, which is shocking."
"I thought about it carefully. Cao Xian's problem is not only his personal problem. The person who selected Cao Xian to be the imperial censor also has an unshirkable responsibility."
Zhao Shan looked at Li Wu and said, "Li Wu, you are the Minister of Civil Affairs and are responsible for the selection and assessment of court officials. What do you think about Cao Xian's incident?"
hiss!
Li Wu took a breath.
Zhao Shan was so insidious that he used Cao Xian to attack him, but he could not defend himself. He could only lift up his robe, kneel down, and plead guilty: "As the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, I did not notice Cao Xian's crime. Please forgive me." "
Zhao Shan nodded and said: "I recognize Li Shangshu's loyalty, and I also believe in you. Let's do this. I'll punish you in isolation for half a month and give you a salary of three months. Are you convinced?"
"Submit your heart and take it seriously."
Li Wu kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am very grateful."
His heart felt cold and cold. Three months' salary was not even a step away from him. Staying shut for more than half a month is the trump card, which means that he cannot go to court or handle government affairs.
Zhao Shan asked Li Wu to stand up and then ordered: "Du Gangfeng!"
"I'm here!"
Du Gangfeng stood up and answered.
Zhao Shan said: "Cao Xian died, leaving a vacancy for the imperial censor. You are loyal to me, and you are not afraid of the dangers of power. I will appoint you as the censor."
Du Gangfeng said: "I obey the order!"
He was excited. In the early years, he also had great ambitions and wanted to show his ambitions. Unfortunately, the emperor was stupid and traitorous ministers were in power, so he had no choice but to have ambitions.
Now that the Holy Lord is born, Du Gangfeng feels that an opportunity has come.
Zhao Shan continued: "Zhao Yong has plotted evil and sent an order to Beijing to plead guilty. The other Daqian vassal kings stayed in the fiefdom to observe the filial piety of the late emperor. Without my edict, they are not allowed to leave the fiefdom without permission. Anyone who disobeys the order will be attacked by the whole world."
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
Du Gangfeng was the first to agree.
All the officials were shocked by Zhao Shan and spoke one after another.
Li Wu felt even more solemn in his heart. There were conflicts between the vassal king and the vassal king, and they were not monolithic. Zhao Shan's order was equivalent to hanging a sharp sword over the head of the feudal king. Because leaving the fiefdom was tantamount to rebellion, most feudal kings would hesitate.
For the first time, Li Wu was wavering. Can his son-in-law Zhao Yong win?
As soon as the thought came up, Li Wu suppressed it again. Now, he can only go to the dark side. Zhao Shan temporarily won one round, but that didn't mean he would always win. After all, Zhao Shan only had a small number of forbidden troops and did not control the army.
Zhao Shan achieved his goal, stopped discussing matters, waved his hand and said: "Retreat from the court, Du Gangfeng stays."
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
All the officials withdrew, leaving Du Gangfeng behind.
Zhao Shan's eyes were bright and he asked: "Cao Xian is dead, Li Wu is suppressed, and the court is temporarily stable. But when the news reaches Zhao Yong's ears, he will definitely jump over the wall. To deal with Zhao Yong, he must control the army. What do you think? this matter?"
Du Gangfeng said without hesitation: "I suggest that we ask the old general Wei Polu to come out."
Zhao Shan's eyes lit up.
Wei Polu is a veteran of three dynasties. He once served as the hussar general of Daqian and can be called the god of war of Daqian.
This guy is good at hitting.
Whether it was the Xianbei in the northeast of Daqian, the Jurchens in the north, or even the Qiang in Xiliang, they were all beaten by Wei Polu. It's a pity that Wei Polu hates evil and the emperor appoints treacherous ministers, so Wei Polu's ability is useless.
If Wei Polu helps, Zhao Shan can quickly control the army and further control Luoyang to deal with Li Wu.
Zhao Shan was looking forward to it, and immediately stood up and said: "Du Qing, let's go to the Wei family, and I will visit in person. No matter what, we must ask Wei Polu to come out."
Du Gangfeng praised: "Your Majesty is wise."
Zhao Shan changed into ordinary clothes and took Du Gangfeng out of the palace and went straight to the Wei family.
The Wei family is located in the east of the city. The house is small and very simple. Zhao Shan observed outside the gate for a while and found that the gate was open and there was no concierge guarding it, giving people a feeling of depression and desertedness. Zhao Shan strode towards the mansion without being informed.
The moment Zhao Shan stepped into the door, his heart suddenly became nervous.
"Thief, you dare to bully my Wei family, take a shot from me!"
A crisp sound like an oriole sounded, and a beautiful and graceful figure, holding a big red-tasseled gun, strode straight into Zhao Shan's chest.
Zhao Shan turned over like a kite to avoid the big gun, stretched his back like a big dragon, twisted his waist to exert force, and punched out.
boom! !
A dull crashing sound was heard.
The woman groaned, and her body flew out and landed on the ground.
Zhao Shan was stunned for a moment when he saw it. The person who took action was a stunning woman, wearing a gray warrior uniform, with her black hair tied into a ponytail, and she looked heroic. Especially the long legs are so powerful and unique.
Zhao Shan thought about the woman's words and patiently explained: "Young lady misunderstood, I came to visit General Wei."
Wei Fengqing stood up straight, rubbed the left chest that had been hit, and asked doubtfully, "Are you really not from Li Kang and are you here to cause trouble for the Wei family?"
Du Gangfeng stood up and said in a deep voice: "Girl, the person standing in front of you is His Majesty the current emperor. Why don't you inform the old general to pick him up?"
Wei Fengqing's eyes widened and she was momentarily confused.
The person who hit her chest was the emperor, and he definitely couldn't get it back. Moreover, she just raised a gun to kill the emperor, what should she do?
