Li's Mansion.

Li Jingxuan sat in front of the chessboard, staring at the stalemate game, and fell into deep thought.

He was considering how much he would have to make concessions this time to satisfy the saint.

The prime minister is an extremely special position. Throughout the dynasties, there have been open or secret struggles between emperors and prime ministers.

Li Jingxuan undoubtedly ascended this position as Li Zhi's confidant. At first he was obedient and obeyed the saint's arrangements, but gradually, he began to strengthen himself.

All of them are extremely ministers, so naturally they have to enjoy the feeling of being in power. If you are truly a saint, why did he work so hard to get promoted?

It is precisely because of the authority of the prime minister that Li Jingxuan was able to constantly test within Li Zhi's tolerance and gradually expand his power.

Although Li Zhi's disgust was piled up, he would not really take him down.

After all, it would not be better to withdraw Li Jingxuan and replace him with another prime minister.

Under normal circumstances, it is normal for both parties to control power and to tug at each other.

But this time it was obviously an emergency.

Li Jingxuan knew very well that the rumors had angered the saint, and his son did some confusing things, so he should give in and calm the saint's anger.

After calculating how many key positions to be given out, Li Jingxuan frowned in pain and snorted angrily: "Sad son! Sad son!"

No matter how much you scold, you still have to care. He invites the manager: "What's the situation with the inner guard?"

The people around him said, "Alang, no news has been heard back, it shouldn't be a bad thing."

Li Jingxuan nodded slightly. There was no news at this time, it was good news, and there was really something bad...

A panic shout came from outside: "Alang, it's not good! It's not good!"

Li Jingxuan fainted and said in a deep voice: "I shouted loudly, how can I do it? I will get the flog after I report the matter!"

The manager who reported the news was in tears, but he quickly said, "Mr. Cui was arrested. I heard that he has started interrogating him in the inner prison!"

Li Jingxuan was stunned: "Cui Shouye is the leader of the inner guard cabinet. Who dares to commit the superiors? What order did the saint give?"

The manager said: "The saint gave up his position as Minister Cui, and his official robe and seal were stripped off and he was immediately imprisoned!"

Li Jingxuan thought: "Why did the saint punish him like this? Could it be... the rumor was released by this person? This is not impossible!"

No one knew Cui Shouye’s persistence towards the prime minister better than Li Jingxuan, otherwise he would not have easily pulled him onto the ship back then.

It was a normal political struggle to take this opportunity to pull him into the water.

Thinking of this, Li Jingxuan stroked his beard gently, returned to his calm expression, and waved his hand: "It's okay, this matter may not be a bad thing. Go down and get ten whips yourself!"

The unlucky guy stepped back and was whipped, while the others were silent.

This Alang is very strict with rules and is a person and cherishes his reputation, so he is very strict with his servants.

A whip of ten to fifty strokes is called "fighting". If a whip is hit 60 to one hundred strokes, it becomes the "scepter punishment" of this era.

The government's scepter could only be beaten to 200 times at most, but some servants of the Li family were beaten to death. From then on, the others were even more cautious in their lives and did not dare to defame their master's reputation.

"Cui Shouye is finished, there will be no more crackdowns in this case, and I don't have to give in so much..."

Li Jingxuan looked at the chessboard and placed a few pieces again on it, and his smile appeared.

After my mood improved, I couldn't help but feel a little strange.

He has written so many letters, but why hasn't he returned yet?

Although some things can be tacitly understood, they are not as good as yellow paper and black.

When Li Jingxuan thought of this, hesitated for a moment, took down a few chess pieces and murmured: "Well, let's give in more!"

At this moment, the servant of the inner house came to report again: "Alang, the lady seems to be returning home."

Li Jingxuan was stunned, and showed confusion, and hurriedly stood up.

This newlywed lady is the legitimate daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan, and her background is insignificant.

The former Queen Wang of Li Zhi appeared to be from the Wang family in Taiyuan, but was actually a branch of Pan. She did not recognize the main lineage. Queen Wang relied on being a descendant of Wang Sizheng and was supported by the Guanlong gentry and was supported by Changsun Wuji, Chu Suiliang and others. It actually had nothing to do with the Shandong gentry.

Li Jingxuan's third wife was the real daughter of the Wang family in Taiyuan. After the wedding, the dowry brought by the master's family was enough for the food, clothing and expenses of the Li family, and it was up to the next level.

Li Jingxuan hurried over and stopped Wang, who was urging by the maid in the backyard: "Madam, where are you going?"

Wang's tribute was impeccable: "Mr., I'll go back to my parents' home."

Li Jingxuan frowned and said, "It's a special time now, so you can't make trouble. I hope your wife will give up this idea. I will send her to her in person when I come back in the future."

Wang shook his head: "It's no longer a blessing. When I go home, I will send you a book of Heli."

Li Jingxuan was stunned and couldn't believe his ears for a moment. After more than ten breaths, he said in a deep voice: "What is this? Do I treat my wife badly? Do you want to do this arbitrary act?"

Wang said calmly: "It's not that I slander my husband, but that's because my ex-girlfriend is unfortunate. I don't want to repeat the same mistake. When I wrote a letter to my home, my elders agreed with me."

"I thought I had lost my power and couldn't wait to clear my relationship!"

Li Jingxuan had no expression on his face and was furious.

The death of his second wife was also a hot topic back then. After all, the elders in the family were all nobles of the gentry. Seeing his daughter so miserable before she died, she naturally complained after she returned.

But Li Jingxuan published more than a dozen articles about his beloved wife, and Shilin praised her wildly, and then there was nothing else.

The Shandong gentry obediently sent the third wife, and the Li family of Zhaojun also took the initiative to propose a rank of the clan.

As a result, his legitimate son has just been arrested, and Wang is about to divorce him. He even shows his ex-wife to talk about it?

Wang was not that anxious, but after she wrote the letter, she soon received a reply from her brother Chang'an.

The letter asked her to divorce Li Jingxuan quickly and not to affect the clan.

She always felt an indescribable sense of depression when she was with this cold prime minister. The letter said in the letter was just right, and she bowed again at this moment: "The book of Heli is here, and the financial account will be handed over. I'm leaving!"

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Watching the newlyweds leave, Li Jingxuan's cheek muscles twitched violently.

He is greedy for power, but not for money.

Because there is no need to be greedy.

The first two wives were both legitimate daughters of five surnames, and the dowry was a huge fortune.

The wealth was in the name of his wife in public, and after his wife passed away, it naturally became the asset of the Li family.

Therefore, every time Li Jingxuan gets married, his living level will rise to one level.

In addition, he joined forces with the Li family of Zhaojun and the Li family chamber of commerce, so he must have to take his tribe members to do it.

With all this, there is no need to consider the issue of money.

But now that my wife is separated and the property is divided, the incident will inevitably cause an uproar.

No matter how much he shirked the responsibility, the separation of the prime minister and his wife would be a huge blow to his reputation.

Li Jingxuan thought about it without any way to eliminate the influence, and made up his mind silently: "You can't divorce, you must let Wang take back your heart!"

He immediately remembered Shilin, attracted a special contact with his confidant and whispered to the order.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the orders, the manager said in embarrassment: "Alang, I went to find those scholars yesterday, but I didn't find them. They seemed to have been hiding."

Li Jingxuan said lightly: "If you change a batch, just like that."

Compared with the people of the world, scholars are indeed a small group of people, but officials are also a small group of people compared with the people of the world.

In Chang'an, there is no shortage of scholars who are eager to enter the government, and it is extremely convenient to call them around.

The manager took the order and left. After only two hours, he rushed back quickly: "Alang, the situation is not good. Those literati dared to refuse, and even said... and said..."

Li Jingxuan's eyes sank: "What's the rule to hesitate? Tell me quickly, go down and get your own ten whips!"

The manager said aggrievedly: "They said that Alang, you are different from each other, treat others hypocritically, abuse your wife and become crazy, and you are completely hypocritical!"

Li Jingxuan was stunned: "My wife abused and became crazy? How dare they do that group of jealous!"

He sat down and watched his second wife die miserably, and he also saw the harm of Yundan. He knew that after taking it for a long time, he still couldn't escape the word "death". Long pain is worse than short pain.

Facts proved his foresight...

Always framed others by themselves, but now they are actually being defiled by the Shilin. Li Jingxuan was furious: "I will not forgive you. The Ministry of Personnel will not expect to have another chance!"

But the prime minister is the prime minister after all. As he cursed, he suddenly woke up and his face changed bitterly: "No! It's not them... it's Your Majesty! Your Majesty wants to kill me!"

If a minister has a good reputation, even if he does something wrong and is killed by the emperor, it will be the emperor's fault that the world will discuss, and the scholars are excited.

If a minister has a bad reputation, even if he does not make any mistakes in his work and is killed by the emperor, the common people will applaud him and be wise.

The latter is the principle of Wu Zetian killing cruel officials in history. His Majesty the Divine Emperor is so wise.

Obviously, the Meihua Inner Guard began to defame Li Jingxuan's reputation, and it was not simply to demote him for his crime, but to ask him to die.

This time, Li Zhi really hated this former attendant. If he didn't kill Li Jingxuan, he would probably feel very upset.

Li Jingxuan finally realized the crisis, and his legs became weak and he almost collapsed. The servant beside him quickly supported him.

His head hurts: "I didn't spread the rumors. I'm wronged. Your Majesty! No! I want to think about who can take care of me! As long as you suppress that person, Your Majesty will give me grace and there will be a turning point!"

A mature politician will not be too hasty in his work.
