Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 333 Purge

Lin Zisu paused for a moment with the chopsticks in her hand, and then said as if nothing had happened: "There's no need to worry, the prince will naturally know what's going on when he comes back."

In fact, the reason for the matter is not complicated. After delivering the edict yesterday, the Superintendent of Ceremonies sent a copy to the Ministry of Rites as usual because the vassal king was dealing with the affairs of the Tian family.

This matter originally did not have much to do with government affairs, but somehow, early this morning, this decree was actually heard by the censors.

The content of the decree was very simple. He severely reprimanded Xie Xi and asked him to surrender to the vassal state immediately without any further delay.

The imperial censors have long been dissatisfied with Xie Xi's daily behavior and behavior. In the past two years, many memorials have been written about Xie Xi.

However, the emperor kept suppressing him, and every time the censors tried to play the music, it all came to nothing.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Dayan has inherited the ancient system and enfeoffed clan members to various parts of the country. The original intention was that the enfeoffed clans would control local garrison and supervise local administration.

However, since Taizong and Ruizhong repeatedly cut down the vassals, the power in the hands of the vassal kings in various places has been deprived one by one. Trapped in the palace with nothing to do, they turned to pursuing pleasure and doing their best to be extravagant and extravagant.

During the Zhengxing Dynasty, it was not uncommon for clan members to occupy land and compete with local governments for profit.

Originally, the censors were worried about offending the royal dignity, so even if they participated in the performance, they would think twice about it.

Knowing that his son is more like his father, the emperor naturally saw the joy in Xie Xi's eyes, and said dissatisfied: "I am here to give you some ideas, it is better for you, you can still be distracted while talking to me. What, you are not going to respond?"

Speaking of this, Xie Xi couldn't help but think of how he had bet with Xu Wentao and Liang Mingtai for several months. In order to win the bet, he did not hesitate to make up rumors in Beijing.

Xie Xi's expression changed at first, and then he laughed, "Father, you take Su Su too lightly. She is not an ordinary boudoir girl. She won't care about the words of these rotten scholars."

This time it was different, Xie Xi had no foundation behind him, and now he had incurred the emperor's disdain, so he was not afraid of offending him.

"Huh! These people are really lawless!"

"I didn't say that."

The emperor was furious and said, "You are my son. Even if you do something wrong, I should punish you. These people are so arrogant. How can they take me as the emperor seriously?"

In particular, several veteran ministers felt that this was a good opportunity to purge the clan.

He knew that his father had always been diligent in his duties. Sometimes, he would go to court in the morning and not rest until noon.

"Your Majesty, the prince is asking for an audience outside Qianqing Palace."

As soon as Xie Xi arrived at the gate of Qianqing Palace, he saw the emperor walking towards this direction in a hurry, with only Zhang Gu following behind, and he was secretly surprised.

Xie Xi flipped through a few pages at random and said lazily: "Father, when I left, my son was just a cover-up. Now everyone is saying that I should be killed. Isn't this what my father wants to see?"

Seeing the angry look on the emperor's face, Xie Xi instantly calmed down. After saluting the emperor, he followed the emperor into the main hall of Qianqing Palace.

Less than half an hour later, the morning court broke up with the emperor's angrily departure, but the subsequent fermentation had just begun.

"Father, it was you who gave the order to belittle my son. Now that these people are acting upon the news, it is also because of your instructions. I don't dare to say anything more."

However, the situation in the morning court was beyond the expectations of the censors.

After Xie Xi left, a feminine voice came from outside the door.

With this decree, the censors thought they had the wind and took action immediately.

The emperor was a little disinterested, and after casually exchanging a few words with Xie Xi, he asked him to retreat.

"Father, there is no need to be angry. I don't care much about these things. You and I are about to leave the capital. If they make trouble, just let them go. Anyway, I won't hear it."

The emperor was at a loss for words and was silent for a while. He seemed to have thought of something and his expression became more relaxed.

Xie Xi spread his hands and said: "Then please tell me, Father, how should I respond to my sons and ministers? Kill them? Or should I scold them one by one?"

The emperor looked at Xie Xi with deep eyes, waiting for his idea.

The emperor heard the voice of the visitor and let him open the door and come in. "The prince is going to speak for those people again. At this moment, I don't want to hear a word. I just want him to wait outside."

Several people had just finished participating in the performance at the court. Sixty-seven out of ten of the more than a hundred civil servants in the court agreed. The emperor couldn't help but change his face and walked away on the spot.

Recalling the tit-for-tat confrontation with him, especially that indifferent face, Xie Xi felt sweet in his heart.

As soon as the emperor walked up to the imperial cabinet, he suddenly slapped the imperial cabinet hard and shouted angrily: "These white-eyed wolves, I don't treat them badly on weekdays, but if there is a little bit of wind, their true colors will be exposed one by one."

The censors were well aware of the far-reaching impact of this matter and should not rush for success. They just tried to let a few young censors write it.

He thought he would have to wait at least an hour or two at Qianqing Palace, but when he came from the palace, he took his time and didn't take today's trip seriously at all.

Facing the storm in the city, Lin Zisu remained calm and unaffected.

The case of King Wei a few months ago really shocked the civil and military officials, so they all pretended to turn a blind eye.

"You said it quite easily."

"The prince has grown up reading books about saints and sages. It is inevitable that he will be influenced by the courtiers. Your Majesty does not need to worry about it. Over time, your highness will understand people's hearts."

"Xiao Si'er, you could just mess around in the past. Now you have a family. Even if you go to Dunzhou, Su Yatou is still in the capital. If the trouble becomes big, how can you let her move around in the capital?

?”

Seeing Xie Xi's puzzled face, the emperor casually picked up a memorial on the imperial case and threw it in front of Xie Xi, "Look, there are people who are forcing me to expel you from the clan. These people want to rebel.

?”

The emperor did not comment on the visitor's words, and immediately changed the subject and said with a smile: "Xiao Si'er has matured a lot. This time he didn't shout and kill. I originally hoped that he would come forward to teach these clowns a lesson, but

I know he is not on the right path."

"Your Highness is entrusted with a heavy responsibility. It would be better for a slave to come forward to do such an offending thing."

The emperor ignored it and continued: "If these people really serve the country and the people, I will let them do it. But they only care about their own reputation and interests. How have they ever considered the suffering of the national economy and the difficulties of the people's livelihood?"

"They are cliques, they are disrupting the government with their words, they are despising our Dayan ancestral system, and they are trying to threaten me."

At this point, the emperor waved his hand and said decisively: "You have other things to do. You can't have too much grudges with them right now. Let Cao Shouli come. Tell Cao Shouli that you will be more ruthless. If Dayan's survival is in danger, it will be

Today, we cannot let them influence government affairs!"

I'm in the hospital and haven't updated for two days.
