After rebirth, my mother came to power based on her son.

Chapter 903: How about being granted the title of Duke Auxiliary?

Li Xiao didn't even look at it, he just said directly: "Find a few trustworthy chamberlains and compare the handwriting of these adults one by one to see if there is any difference from usual."

"It's so different from usual. It's not the same style at all. I just asked someone to take me into custody at Dali Temple."

"yes."

The waiter called for many people, but he quickly checked the handwriting on the paper.

This was probably because Li Xiao had made a special trip to say hello in the court before, but no one had tampered with the handwriting.

Li Xiao asked people to take all the papers away, and then took Mu Qingge directly to Weiyang Palace.

Mu Qingge frowned: "Your Majesty, you shouldn't have told them in the morning that you wanted to check their handwriting."

"You should just kill them to catch them off guard. Maybe you can gain something."

"Those who really collude with the envoys of Wuyun Kingdom will definitely be afraid of being discovered, so they will try every means to change their handwriting."

"In this way, we can roughly screen out the people who have contact with the envoys of Wuyun Kingdom through their handwriting."

Li Xiao nodded: "It's a way, but when I asked them to write this thing, it was just a feint."

"A feint?"

Li Xiao responded: "In fact, nothing can be seen in the handwriting."

"If I want to contact the envoys of the Wuyun Kingdom and collaborate with the enemy and treason, then I will definitely use handwriting that I don't usually use when contacting the envoys of the Wuyun Kingdom, which is completely different from my usual handwriting. In this way, even if I am found, I will contact the envoys of the Wuyun Kingdom.

Even with the evidence and letters, we can’t know who the person contacted was.”

"Let them use ordinary handwriting, and nothing will be exposed at all."

What Li Xiao said does make sense. If it were her, she wouldn't use her usual handwriting.

Then the purpose of Li Xiao doing this is...

Li Xiao's mind-reading skills seemed to have been targeting her alone: ​​"The purpose of my doing this is naturally to make an impact in the east and attack in the west."

Make noise in the east and attack in the west.

"I just wanted to tell them that I had my suspicions."

"The envoy of the Wuyun Kingdom has now fallen into the hands of Grand Master Shen, and has fallen into our hands. I suspect that someone in the court has an affair with the envoy of the Wuyun Kingdom. Naturally, I can use countless ways to investigate, interrogate, and use various methods to investigate and interrogate.

I tried every possible means to make the envoy of Wuyun Kingdom tell the truth."

"After all, as I mentioned before, your grandmother is the descendant of Ye Xiang. If Ye Xiang wants people to tell the truth, it will not be easy."

"They will definitely panic."

"Only when they panic can they really show their fox tail."

"In the evening, I will have someone tell them that Master Shen did not find anything based on the note they sent."

"Then I will let them go."

"But in fact, I will keep an eye on them and wait for them to show their flaws."

Mu Qingge nodded, looking slightly dazed.

Li Xiao seemed to be really fulfilling his promise, answering all her questions in great detail.

But it was her...

It seemed that the more she knew about Li Xiao, the more she felt that Li Xiao was really... unfathomable.

As soon as he returned to Weiyang Palace and sat down, Li Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Mu Qingge: "I said before that I will reward Grand Master Shen, but Grand Master Shen is already a top-notch person in the dynasty. Qingqing feels that I should

How can a reward be considered a heavy reward?"

What does this have to do with her?

Mu Qingge glanced at Li Xiao inexplicably. Li Xiao seemed to know what Mu Qingge was thinking. He just sighed and continued: "If you only reward gold, silver, jade and other common things, the ministers in the court will not

I’m afraid I won’t take it to heart if I lack these things.”

"But Master Shen's official position has reached its peak, and there is no way to raise it any higher."

This is true.

Mu Qingge secretly agreed with Li Xiao's words in her heart, but her face remained calm.

Although Li Xiao seemed to be asking her, he didn't seem to really want to get an answer from her.

"Yes." He clapped his hands: "Although I can't be promoted to an official position, I can be promoted to a noble rank."

"How about I make your grandfather the auxiliary Duke?"

Mu Qingge frowned: "Fu Guogong?"

Li Xiao nodded: "The title of Assistant Duke is hereditary and will not be replaced."

"Since the founding of the Li Kingdom, there have been three auxiliary dukes and one auxiliary duke. However, in the past hundred years, there has been no auxiliary duke."

"Previously, the Supreme Emperor originally planned to appoint the former Imperial Master as an auxiliary to the Duke, but the former Imperial Master passed away suddenly after the prophecy, so it was not possible."

Mu Qingge frowned and was silent for a long time, but couldn't help but speak: "But... my grandfather was given a title not long after he returned to the court. Isn't it wrong?"

"After all, a title is no better than any other reward. Once a title is given, there is no big mistake, but there is no way to cancel it."

"You are just trying to stimulate the person behind the scenes who sent people to blow the trumpet. It is not that my grandfather has really contributed to the country."

Li Xiao smiled: "Yes, just to stimulate the person behind the scenes. If your grandparents can help me quell this rebellion, wouldn't it be regarded as a contribution to the country?"

"Don't worry, I have my own plan."

Mu Qingge still felt that something was wrong in her heart. Li Xiao was the emperor, and he was granted the title of nobility, but it was just a word from him.

But this decree had a huge impact on the Shen family.

It would be fine if the Shen family really contributed to the country, but this title is not like that.

Mu Qingge bit her lower lip lightly: "If your majesty just wants to stimulate the person behind the scenes, you can discuss with my grandfather and give him the title first, and then take it back after the matter is resolved, citing the reason of mistaken title. This title?"

"Alternatively, Your Majesty can directly change the title system, stating that this title is only for the grandfather, and canceling the hereditary system of this title."

Li Xiao looked at Mu Qingge's worried eyes, his eyebrows moved slightly, he just lowered his eyes and chuckled: "I know."

"I will go to Master Shen to discuss it."

Mu Qingge nodded and then took a long breath.

That's good.

In the evening, Li Xiao followed his previous plan and lied that nothing could be found by checking the handwriting in Yunxi Valley, and let the courtiers who had stayed in the Golden Palace for a whole day go back.

In the morning court on the second day, Li Xiao mentioned the incident of the envoys of the Wuyun Kingdom again: "The identities of the girls who were defiled by the envoys of the Wuyun Kingdom have been found out. They are all women from good families. They are the real family members of those buried soldiers."

"Their families have made great contributions to the country and all the people of Li Kingdom, but they have suffered such defilement."

"According to Grand Master Shen's inquiry, the women said that they did not know that those people were the envoys of the Wuyun Kingdom at first. Instead, the envoys of the Wuyun Kingdom asked them where they were going and what they were going to do."

"They answered the questions from the Wuyun Kingdom envoy and told them that they were the family members of soldiers and were going to Yunxi Valley to find someone. Then the Wuyun Kingdom envoy pulled them into the carriage."

"The envoy of the Wuyun Kingdom clearly did this on purpose." Li Xiao sneered: "Tell me, according to the laws of the Li Kingdom, how should such a situation be handled?"

As soon as Li Xiao finished speaking, a chamberlain rushed in: "Your Majesty, someone claiming to be an envoy of the Wuyun Kingdom has arrived at the palace gate and asks to see your Majesty."
