My brother is wicked in the five elements

Chapter 146 The Olive Branch of the Royal Family
Hearing that Xu Tianming still rejected his invitation, Li You's expression immediately turned cold.

Jiang Houlu, who was sitting on the side, saw that this plan would not work, so he waved his hands at the ten women, making a gesture of dispersing them.

The ten beauties showed disappointed expressions and left Deshengju with reluctance.

After all, this is their chance to get close to a celebrity, no, it's a chance for a top celebrity.

Xu Tianming is no different from ordinary literati. He is a scholar of the academy, has an unattainable reputation and is deeply respected by the world.

If they can successfully dedicate themselves to Xu Tianming, they will not only enjoy glory and wealth, but also have a very high reputation. If they can win Xu Tianming's favor and write poems for one of them, they will be immortalized forever. maybe
But what they never expected was that Xu Tianming's concentration was so good.

They had almost unreservedly presented their most attractive selves in front of Xu Tianming, and also expressed their willingness to do such a sexy and exciting thing as "ten women serve one husband" with body language.

As a result, Xu Tianming was unmoved.
"Mr. Xu is not messed up, he is a real gentleman!" Li You laughed, waved his hand, and once again offered Xu Tianming an offer that was hard to refuse, "Well, whatever you like, sir, just mention it. Whatever the king can do, he can satisfy the master's request!"

All the officials were discussing below.

It seems that His Highness the First Prince is really ready to spend all his money this time.

Regarding this, Xu Tianming just sighed helplessly, stood up, cupped his fists at Li You, and said bluntly.

"Your Highness's kindness, I appreciate it. It's just that since I entered Chang'an, I have seen that the officialdom of the Tang Dynasty has been corrupted for a long time. Corruption and corruption, selfishness and malpractice, followed by others, have rotted to the root. Even if I join His Highness's command, I can't change this situation. Since this situation cannot be changed, there is no point in joining.”

Xu Tianming's words demoted the Tang Dynasty's officialdom to nothing, and the faces of the officials present were all ugly.

But no one dared to stand up and refute.

Li Youwei was silent for a while, a helpless smile appeared on his thin cheeks, he picked up the wine cup that he had been playing with for a long time between his fingers, and took a sip lightly.

In fact, Li You knew what Xu Tianming said.

Among the officials in the imperial court, there are few clean hands and feet who are corrupt and accept bribes. In Li You's view, this is all human nature.

As for Xu Tianming's decline, Li You himself didn't feel that way.Today's Tang Dynasty is in good weather, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. He feels that after he ascends the throne, he will work hard to govern the Tang Dynasty, and his influence on the Tang Dynasty will definitely surpass that of his ancestors and be written into the monument of history.

As for trivial things like corruption, Li You felt that he only needed to crack down a few more times, and the group of courtiers would definitely not dare to be so blatant and reckless.
Although he thought so in his heart, Li You still kept a gentle smile on his face, and asked Xu Tianming humbly: "Mr. What can be done to change this situation?"

To this, Xu Tianming just smiled lightly.

"Of course there is a way, it depends on whether His Highness dares to do it."

"Oh, what is the solution?" Li You asked with great interest.

Xu Tianming looked at the First Prince Li You firmly and said.

"The solution is to clean the entire court! From the prime minister to the ninth-rank officials, only those who are capable can be appointed, and those who are incompetent can be dismissed. No malpractice for personal gain is allowed, and no use of power for personal gain is allowed! In this way, the great Tang Dynasty will surely reappear! "

After all, Xu Tianming cupped his fists politely towards Li You, and asked, "How, Your Highness, dare to do as I say?"

And just when Xu Tianming finished speaking this sentence.

His face darkened, the hairs all over his body stood on end, and the aura in his body moved quietly at an extremely fast speed instantly
Because he sensed an incomparably strong, pure, intense, and terrifying killing intent, locking on to himself!
'Who! ? '

Just when Xu Tianming wanted to search for the source of this killing intent, the killing intent suddenly disappeared without a trace
Almost fleetingly.

It only lasted for less than a breath.

Xu Tianming came back to his senses, his back was drenched in cold sweat, he panted slightly, and looked around.

All the officials present were sitting in their respective positions, whispering and discussing what Xu Tianming just said, their expressions seemed to have been greatly wronged.

'Is it the cultivator in the Transcending Tribulation Period? 'Xu Tianming thought of the most possible thing.

What he said just now may have stimulated the cultivator who was hidden among the officials in Deshengju during the tribulation period!
He unintentionally released his killing intent towards Xu Tianming!
Mu Jianyin said before: "People who are possessed by demons, under certain extreme emotions, will unnaturally reveal a very strong killing intent. This killing intent is so strong that you can tell it as soon as you hear it."

'Then who would he be? '

Xu Tianming looked around the faces of everyone in the house with his sharp eyes, but he didn't notice anything unusual.

He knew in his heart that the man had already hidden himself again.
However, what is certain now is that the man is now hiding in the courtyard of Deshengju, among the group of officials.
Desheng Curie's discussion has never stopped.

After hearing what Xu Tianming said just now, most officials thought it was a fantasy.

He actually wanted to screen all the officials in court?
What a lot of work that would be.

Not to mention the important functional departments such as the Six Ministries, the number of them is as high as more than 500; the total number of all officials in the Tang Dynasty should reach more than 18.

It would be exhausting to reassign so many positions
Besides, these officials didn't want their own Dai Wusha to be in danger, so they protested against this idea in private.

Li You's thinking was probably similar to theirs.

Now is the time for employing people, and doing so will only chill everyone's hearts.

Furthermore, such a large-scale war will definitely consume a large amount of funds. The national treasury is not yet rich, and Li You does not have such a budget.

Taking a step back, Li You still wouldn't choose to do this even if he had enough money.After all, after changing a group of people, there is still a need for adjustment between various departments and between the monarch and his ministers, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive.

Li You felt that Xu Tianming was too young to know that there were too many disadvantages in doing so, and it might be harmful to Datang without any benefit.
Thinking of this, Li You stood up with regret on his face, and offered a toast to Xu Tianming.

"Mr. Xu, this king really can't do it. Since my husband insists on not joining, I don't want to make things difficult for me. Here I wish you a bright future and enter the realm of the Three Immortals as soon as possible!"

"Then I wish Your Royal Highness the dragon body is healthy, the Tang Dynasty is safe and sound, and the people live and work in peace and contentment!" Xu Tianming returned a cup and looked up.

After all, the two saluted again.

Then Xu Tianming packed a large pile of delicacies on his table, and left Deshengju alone.

"Hey, it's a pity, it seems that this king and Mr. Xu are destined to have nothing to do with each other." Li You sighed and murmured.

Seeing that Li You was so depressed, Jiang Houlu smiled slightly, and said: "There is no need to conspire with each other if the way is different. Your Majesty does not need to worry too much. After the autumn, there will be a large number of talented people again."

After listening to Jiang Houlu's comfort, Li You relaxed and said with a smile.

"Yes, with Mr. Jiang assisting this king, why should this king not be able to rejuvenate the country and secure the country."

On the way home.

Xu Tianming recalled the creepy killing intent just now, and thought about it.

'The cultivator in the transcending tribulation period has long wanted to deal with me and hurry up. '

The reason why he was unhappy about what he said just now must be that the action I said will cause all the cronies and subordinates he has cultivated for many years to be cleared out.

In this way, he will not be able to cover the sky with one hand in the ruling and opposition parties.

Things like stealing magic crystal mines are difficult to accomplish
"So his official position should be quite high, no matter what, he must be above the fourth rank." Xu Tianming made such a judgment.

Among the group of officials who supported the eldest prince, there were only a dozen of them who were above the fourth grade. If you investigate carefully, you should find something.

"It feels like we're getting closer to the truth." Xu Tianming couldn't help feeling this way.

Not far from the palace, Xu Tianming suddenly heard a clear voice behind him.

"Master Xu, my Highness would like to invite you to listen to Yaxuan tea tasting."

He looked back.

It was a quiet woman looking at him with a smile.

"Who is your Highness?" Xu Tianming scratched his head and asked.

The woman replied: "It's His Royal Highness the Sixth Prince."

'Oh, it's him. '

Xu Tianming remembered that day in the Linde Palace, the sixth prince was still speaking for him
In fact, the two of them didn't have any friendship, but since he had helped him, Xu Tianming thought he might as well go see him.

"Well, then lead the way." Xu Tianming said bluntly.

Seeing that Xu Tianming agreed, the woman immediately made a gesture of please with a smile on her face, and then walked quickly to lead the way.

soon.

Xu Tianming came to Ting Yaxuan, went up to the fifth floor, and entered the private room.

There were two people sitting on the ground in the private room.

The man on the left was wearing a red dress with dark pattern and cloud sleeves. His clothes and hair were flowing, untied and fluttering in the wind. When he saw Xu Tianming, he showed a natural smile, as if seeing Xu Tianming. To the bosom friend smile.

The little boy on the right, with a straight face, seemed to have a deep expression on his face, with pearls hanging from his ears, lacquered eyes, and wearing a red arrow sleeve with flowers. When he saw Xu Tianming, he stood up and respected Xu Tianming. to salute.

"I met Mr. Xu."

"You are." Xu Tianming frowned and looked at the little boy, feeling as if he had never seen him before.

"I am the Ninth Prince Li Xiang." The little boy said to Xu Tianming respectfully.

"Sixth Prince Li Che." The man in red smiled heartily, poured a glass of wine for Xu Tianming, and motioned him to sit down, "A glass of thin wine is not a respect."

After Xu Tianming sat down, he was not in a hurry to drink. After thinking about it, he asked tentatively.

"Your Highness, don't you want to recruit me into the gang too?"

After all, there was an example of the First Prince trying to win him over, and Xu Tianming felt that the two of them came to him for this reason.

Then there is nothing to say.

He was going to slap his ass and leave immediately after refusing.

After all, Xu Tianming is a man of his word, how can he be a slave of the three surnames?
But unexpectedly, the two princes didn't seem to have that intention.

"Hahaha" the sixth prince smiled heartily, waved his hands and said, "Master Xu is just joking, we are very clear about how much we are. The monk is scratching his head - there is nothing he can do."

The Ninth Prince didn't speak, but just nodded.

"The two of you came to me, why exactly?" Xu Tianming couldn't help being a little puzzled.

The sixth prince didn't answer immediately, he got up and whistled, walked out of the private room swaggeringly, looked around the door, and after confirming that there was no one there, he closed the door again, then sat back to his seat, and whispered to Xu Tianming.

"We want to bring down Big Brother!"

Brother, that is the first prince Li You.

hiss--

Xu Tianming blinked his eyes, he didn't understand, he thought to himself that you two want to bring down the eldest prince, what's the use of asking me?

"Your Highnesses, you don't want to pay me to assassinate the First Prince, do you?" Xu Tianming shook his head immediately, "No, no, this is an unjust act for a practitioner like me, so I can't do it. "

"Oh, Master Xu, where do you want to go." The sixth prince smiled slightly and said, "We both want to invite my sister to seek refuge, and I would like to ask you to send a message."

"Oh, that's right." Xu Tianming nodded, but asked with some doubts, "Then why don't you two go directly to the Eldest Princess?"

The Ninth Prince sighed deeply like a little adult, and said in a helpless tone: "My elder brother's eyeliner is everywhere in the capital today. If we really dare to contact my sister directly, my elder brother will know that we want to join forces to do something. He. He will definitely send someone to secretly get rid of us. I am fine, I have thousands of soldiers, but my sixth brother has no cronies, so I will definitely die."

The sixth prince took over the conversation, looked at Xu Tianming with a clear look and said.

"Besides, it's not Master Xu who makes the decision on my sister's side. I have seen it for a long time. My sister has a secret heart for you. It must be in Lin'an Mansion. If my sister dares to say a word, Master Xu can open her ass. Flower. I really admire Master Xu, who can handle a woman like my sister with her tail up to the sky, amazing!" After finishing speaking, the sixth prince gave Xu Tianming a thumbs up.

???

Xu Tianming was stunned for a moment.

'What kind of secret promise?I do not know how? '

Why is the sixth prince so dishonest?
"Your Highness Sixth Prince, the eldest princess and I are just ordinary friends, not what you think." Xu Tianming immediately explained.

"Well, I understand!" The sixth prince seemed to not listen at all, and cast a look of "I understand you".

"." Xu Tianming decided not to talk about this matter anymore, and chose to change the topic.

"However, if the two Highnesses want to seek refuge with the Eldest Princess, the Eldest Princess may not agree. After all, these are extraordinary times, and every step of the choice must be made with extreme caution."

The sixth prince finally straightened his body that had been open all the time, showing a serious face: "Regarding this matter, Mr. Xu, don't worry. As a token of sincerity, my two brothers can give five thousand elite soldiers and 3000 million taels of silver as a vote !"
