The next day, Li Li appeared in the court as scheduled.

Today, instead of being late, he came to the Changle Hall in advance, so that the morning court started half an hour early.

The person who came belatedly this time was Liu Xie, the son of heaven, who looked extremely flustered when he entered the main hall, with a tilted crown and untidy clothes.

Obviously, he learned that Li Li had come in a hurry after the rear, so he was so wolfish and lost the prestige of the Son of Heaven.

When Liu Xie walked up the jade steps, Dong Hong, the regular attendant of the middle school, trotted to follow, and at this time, Li Li had been standing on the jade steps on the right side of the dragon chair for a long time.

After ten months, Li Li came to the Changle Hall again.

The palace door opened with his arrival, and the originally listless palace guards were also in high spirits with his appearance, one by one straightened their waists, standing proudly and upright, looking majestic and murderous.

These palace guards were all soldiers drawn from the three battalions of Jin Yiwei, Huben Camp and Wuwei Battalion, and they were also warriors on the battlefield, and their loyalty to Li Li was undoubted.

Therefore, for more than three years, people entering and leaving the palace must have a general's palace token or Li Li's edict. Otherwise, it doesn't matter if you are a relative of the emperor or the three princes and nine secretaries, it will not work, except for the early dynasty, you are forbidden to enter and exit, even the emperor Liu Xie is no exception. Even so, these Praetorian Guards were still listless all day long, and they couldn't lift their spirits, because most of the people who came in and out were a group of corrupt Confucian scribes who were nearly half a hundred years old, and they were far less happy than fighting on the battlefield.

However, when the coach Li Li appeared on the jade steps of the palace gate, these warriors who had once crisscrossed the battlefield were suddenly shocked, and their spirits were refreshed. One by one, they stood with their heads held high as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, standing solemnly, and their bodies were murderous. The former Tiger Ben Division is finally back. shouted in unison: "Welcome to the lord!" ”

It was this loud shout like thunder that caused the hundred officials who were still slowly rushing to the palace to tremble when they heard it, and urged the family Ding Hu to hurry all the way to the front of the main hall. Then, the officials quickly walked into the hall and stood respectfully in the hall, holding their breath and silence. As a result, many officials were clearly panting like cattle and their noses were inciting, but they were stunned and did not dare to breathe loudly. So that his cheeks were red, and the beads of sweat on his forehead were like rain. Even so, they did not dare to make a single sound. is afraid that Li Li will not like it and cause death.

It is true that Li Li has always been easy-going, which is completely different from the violent Dong Zhuo. There are few killings in court.

But. Because of this, the officials were in awe of him, and they were afraid to the core. Because they have no way of knowing Li Li's character and temperament, they have no idea what he likes and dislikes, and it is impossible to know when this fierce hussar general will be powerful, and when he will reveal his ferocious and violent nature. The more you don't understand, the more frightening you become, and the more you are afraid and frightened. I am afraid that if I make a slight mistake, I will become the first sacrifice to lose my life.

Judging from Li Li's many previous methods, Li Li is easy-going although he is good-natured. Smile at everyone, be humble and polite, but once he turns his face, he is ruthless, he will cut the grass and eradicate the roots, and there is no room for sand in his eyes. Not to mention whether the deaths of Dong Zhuo, Wang Yun and others are related to Li Li, just say that Hu Zhen and Yang Ding, the two generals who were in charge of guarding the city gate some time ago, have been reduced to dry bones in the mound in a blink of an eye.

But even so, Li Li did not lose his notoriety at all, but made the families and children of Hu Zhen and Yang Ding grateful to him, because he preserved the reputation of the two and fulfilled their name of loyalty. In other words, the confiscation of family property and the examination of his clan were all done by others, but Li Li acted as a good person in it, taking care of the reputation of the lintel of the two.

It can be seen from this that Li Liqi's people are as deep as the sea, extremely vicious, and if they don't make a move, they will be uprooted at every turn, and the cleverness of their means is breathtaking, and they are sighing. And Li Li's methods can hide from most people's eyes, but he can't hide from these old foxes who have been in the sea for a long time in the court.

Nowadays, these old ministers of the DPRK and China may not know anything about battlefield warfare, and they are purely rhetorical people talking about military affairs and war, which is pure bullshit. However, if it comes to the sophistication of human feelings, the way of being an official, and intrigues, they are all masters who are good at this way, shrewd as foxes, and old and sophisticated. No means can escape their eyes, and intrigues and tricks are even more at their fingertips, looking old and dizzy in front of people, but behind them is a spirit and a belly of ghosts. If they didn't have such means, they would definitely survive to this day, and it would be impossible for them to climb to the current high official position.

It's a pity that this time is different from the past, the Taiping world is gone, and today there is chaos and smoke. Although the way of power and strategy is the ability of the official, but there is no place for it, and now it is the power to rule the world, the winner is the king, and the strong is respected. And what the overlord who holds the power needs is not a sloppy and flattering person, nor a trickster who is proficient in power and intrigue and trickery, but the virtuous talent that the overlord really appreciates and urgently needs: the civil and military generals of Wen Ke Anbang and Wu Ke Dingguo. The required ministers should be able to govern the prefectures and counties, persuade the peasants, and ensure that the taxes and the treasury are full of political talents; The military generals are brave and ferocious, not afraid of life and death, or they are brave and wise generals who are good at commanding troops and fighting battles, and they can win battles.

In comparison, these so-called civil and military officials in the court today are really not literate.

When the civil officials talked about the big truth, they said it one by one, and their mouths were like a river, and they scolded Fang Zun, as if they could do anything. However, if they really let them govern the state and county, they shrank their necks one by one, dodging and dodging like a turtle with a shrunken head, as quiet as a cicada, lest they be unable to avoid it.

This is true for civil officials, and the same is true for military generals. Just like Zuo Zhonglang's general Liu Fan, Wuguan Zhonglang's general Fu Wan and a large number of people who hold the official position of military generals, one by one, they are white and fat, and they shake their waists when they walk, and the general's belly with the thickness of the water tank sways from side to side, which can be described as magnificent, the range of action is slightly larger, and the swords tied to the waist are shaken off and fall to the ground. Such a group of people with wine bags and rice bags can't even control war horses, and they need to take a carriage to enter and exit, how can such people lead the army to fight. Who would dare to let them lead their troops into battle? If you expect them to lead their troops into battle, even if they bring an army composed of heavenly soldiers and generals, it will be difficult to win. Being able to save his life and come back alive is considered a fluke, and he escaped death.

Therefore, the rivers of the Han Dynasty are declining day by day, and every year is not as good as the year, so that they have fallen to the point where they are today, and they bear the main responsibility. The land of Shenzhou, the court of the Han Dynasty. Such a group of people is in charge of the world; If such a dynasty can not decay, then there is no heavenly reason, and the sky has no eyes!

On the main hall. Since the beginning of the court's political discussion, Li Li has held the sword of the Son of Heaven in both hands, standing proudly on the jade steps on the upper steps of the main hall, his eyes narrowed slightly. As if he was in a pretended sleep, he coldly observed the civil and military officials under the steps. Suddenly. Many long-sealed memories came to his heart, and his thoughts were full of thoughts and feelings.

For a long time, he disdained to put a Taishi chair under the dragon chair, just like Dong Zhuo and Cao Cao, who coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes in his memory, and placed the seat under the Son of Heaven, but he was above the hundred officials. The purpose of this is nothing more than to remind the officials at all times that the Son of Heaven is just a puppet. Those who sit below the Son of Heaven are the real ones who hold power.

In Li Li's view, this move is undoubtedly to cover up. It's just self-deception. Obviously, they have a heart of disobedience, but they are still trying to cover it up in every possible way, and as a result, they have to work hard and not to mention, and they must always be on guard against the conspiracy and conspiracy of the hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government, which makes them feel distressed, which is tantamount to asking for hardships and suffering for themselves.

Therefore, since Li Li took power, the first thing he did was to remove the Taishi chair on the jade steps of the main hall, and the second thing was to transfer most of the military and political affairs in the court to the name of the general's mansion, so that there was no need to discuss and discuss in the court. Most of the affairs that the Chinese military officials of the dynasty could really participate in were trivial matters such as sacrifices, disaster relief, ceremonial music, agricultural mulberry and water conservancy works, so that even matters such as the internal affairs of the Liu clan and the marriage of the royal family were moved to the court for discussion. Even so, there are not many affairs for the officials to discuss in each morning, and they can usually go down in half an hour.

In Li Li's squinting and pretending to sleep, half an hour passed quietly, and now today's court deliberations are all over. However, just as Liu Xie, who was sitting on pins and needles, was about to get up and retreat, Li Li suddenly opened his eyes, and the sword of the Son of Heaven under his palm lightly slammed into the jade steps.

Suddenly, a crisp sound of "jingle bells" spread to every corner of the hall, which frightened Liu Xie, and sat back on the dragon chair, carefully watching Li Li's tall and sturdy back, waiting for the plague god who did not speak to give orders.

"Zuo Zhonglang will Liu Fan, Zhishu Yushi Liu Dan, is the brother of Liu Zhang in Yizhou, this time Liu Zhang and Zhang Lu in Hanzhong conspired to attack the hinterland of Liangzhou, and the crime is unforgivable. According to investigation, Er and others had a correspondence with Liu Zhang, and when the war broke out with Hanzhong, they spread rumors, fooled the people, demagogic people, and plotted against each other, which is really a heinous crime! ”

In the extremely cold voice, Li Li looked at Liu Fan and Liu Dan, who His Highness was trying to argue, with a cold expression, without raising his eyebrows, and said sharply: "Where are the guards in front of the palace?" Drag these two thieves out of the palace gate, behead them in front of the palace, and violently corpse for three days, so as to set the record straight! ”

"Li Li thief dares! I am a member of the Han family, and the thief dares to kill my brothers! At first hearing Li Li's words, the hundred officials in the hall were terrified, Liu Fan and Liu Dan brothers were even more frightened, and Liu Dan was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground on the spot after hearing the sound, Liu Fan was better, and scolded Li Li loudly with all his might.

It's a pity that Li Li didn't even blink his eyes, and waved his sleeves in a cold voice: "It's so noisy, if you really don't repent, drag it down, and behead it immediately!" ”

"Li Thief An dares to deceive my Liu clan like this, he will definitely die a good death in the future??????" In the midst of the cursing in the exhaustion, the four sturdy ironclad guards dragged Liu Fan and Liu Dan brothers and strode out, and as soon as they stepped through the palace gate, Liu Fan's shouting stopped abruptly, as if someone was pinching his throat, and he couldn't make a sound anymore.

Li Li, who was standing on the upper steps of the main hall, turned a blind eye to this qiē, and still said with a cold expression: "From now on, the five official Zhonglang will be transferred to Fu Wan and Lang Pang Xi as the subordinate officials under the command of this general, if there is any disobedience, it will be decided!" ”

After saying that, Li Li casually threw the Son of Heaven Sword to Li Zhi, waved his sleeves, and strode away.

At this time, a sharp voice suddenly sounded in the hall, still from the mouth of Dong Hong, a regular attendant in the middle school: "The deliberations have been completed, and the ?????? of retreat from the court"
