Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 271 The Emperor's Manipulation!Knock the mountain and shake the tiger!The night is dark and the wind is high to kill people!

Nanjing City, Fengtian Temple.

It has been more than ten days since the last time I went to court in Fengtian Hall.

Since the last time the general was beheaded in the main hall, many officials in Nanjing City were frightened and sick when they returned home.

I was really scared and sick.

After all, 100 people were beheaded in that hall, and the blood flowed all over the place.

Of course, there are also many people who fish in troubled waters, saying that they cannot go to court because of their illness.

However, Li Xiao went to court on time and on time every day. Only half of the people who came to Fengtian Hall to court, most of them were officials who were dawdling, and a small number were officials from aristocratic families. They came here every day to have a look. Xiao what to say.

However, every day when Li Xiao goes to court, he just rolls his name, and then the tide ebbs.

"Upon—"

Following the eunuch's shout, the officials came in one after another.

"I'll wait to see the national teacher."

All the officials bowed and shouted in unison.

"Roll roll."

Li Xiao stood beside the dragon chair and said calmly.

Afterwards, the eunuch took out the roster and began to roll the rolls one by one.

That's right, it's really a roll call, from high to low, one by one.

"Jian Yi, Minister of the Household Department."

"The minister is here."

"Li Xiang, the left servant of the household department."

"The minister is here."

"Zhang Yu, the right servant of the household department."

"Zhang Yu, the right servant of the household department."

No one answered.

"absent."

The eunuch took notes, and then called the roll call: "Zhang Yulei, doctor of the household department"

"."

The roll call lasted for an hour before it was finished.

Afterwards, the eunuch shouted: "Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do—"

No one spoke under the scene.

The eunuch called again: "Back to court—"

In this way, the early morning came to an end soon.

Hundreds of officials resigned one after another.

"What are you doing all day?"

"Yes, what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of the national teacher?"

"I haven't seen him issue a decree, but he clicks every day on time and every day. What do you mean?"

"You ask me, who do I ask?"

On the way the officials left, groups of three and groups of five began to chat quietly,
"You said...will it be the last ones who are absent will be liquidated?"

An official thought for a while and said so.

As soon as this statement came out, other people also agreed.

"Hey, it's possible. The national teacher has no rules and says nothing. Fortunately, we come every day."

"But my friend, it's true that he can't come because he's sick. Does this situation have to be settled? That's a little too unreasonable."

"Will the national teacher talk about human relations with us? Go and tell your friends quickly. If you recover from your illness, come to court as soon as possible."

"It's true, anyway, I just come here every day to order a dick, there is nothing else, so come if you can."

"Keep your voice down and speak your mind. We people are not from aristocratic families, so let's follow the instructions of the national teacher. The national teacher is not actually dealing with us."

"Actually, I have already noticed that we should not be treated as cannon fodder by those officials from aristocratic families. The national teacher, who should be safe and sound, went to the Yamen to express his condolences to me yesterday. He is so nice and warm to me."

"What, there is this matter, why don't I know about this matter?"

"Should. It will be your turn soon, you can wait with peace of mind."

After talking with each other, the officials left one after another, and went back to the yamen to do business.

After half an hour.

Household Yamen.

Li Xiao entered the household department and wandered around in the household department at will. When the officials saw the national teacher coming, they all pretended to be serious servants and did not dare to fish.

That's right, these days, when Li Xiao went to court in the morning, even though he just ordered something, he was not idle.

Take advantage of the time to remember everyone's name and appearance.

【Host: Li Xiao】

[Strength: 35 (average of 5 for ordinary people; 30 for first-class warriors.)]

[Agility: 35 (average of 5 for ordinary people; 20 for first-class fighters.)]

[Intelligence: 35 (average of 5 for ordinary people; 15 for first-class strategists.)]

[Current skills: Perfect level equestrianism, Perfect level archery, Perfect level shooting, Perfect level calligraphy, Perfect level blacksmithing, Perfect level carpentry, Perfect level arithmetic Tai Chi swordsmanship, Wudang Changquan, Tongbiquan, Bajiquan, Wu Qinxi, Xingyiquan]

With this attribute, intelligence is 35 points, which is seven times that of ordinary people.

And it seems to be seven times, but the effect is not seven times.

There should be more than ten times, almost a photographic memory.

Therefore, Li Xiao could remember everyone, and with the list given to him by Jian Yi, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he could tell which people he could use and which ones he could not.

These days, when he was in court, he would use the excuse of inspection work to hang around in various yamen, and then began to secretly support his own strength.

In fact, it is the emperor's power.

If the emperor wants to deal with one group of courtiers, he will support another group of courtiers.

The people Li Xiao wants to support are those officials from poor backgrounds who cannot be reused.

The method of wooing is also very simple, it is nothing more than getting promoted and getting rich, plus some appreciation and appreciation, it is enough to woo people.

At this time, Li Xiao walked into a room of Jinbusi, where a master Bo was busy, and there were several officials under him who were trying to settle the accounts.

"Yu Shi, right?" Li Xiao looked at the host and said.

After hearing this, Yu Shi's master Bo hurriedly got up and saluted, and said respectfully: "See the national teacher."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, and said: "The Department of the Ministry of Finance is in charge of treasury cashiers, weighing and measuring the amount, and the transactions between the two capitals, the mutual market, the peace market, and the palace market. Your burden here is not light."

The boss named Yu Shi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that the national teacher knew everything about the household department, the thirteen divisions of the household department, and he could say the responsibilities of it at will.
Yu Shi cupped his hands and said: "Returning to the teacher, the work here is indeed quite busy, and you need to be cautious every day. The officials do their best every day, lest something goes wrong."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, casually picked up a ledger, and read it carefully.

It looked like the Metropolitan Procuratorate came to check the accounts.

This made Yu Shi a little nervous, and his palms were a little sweaty.

While flipping through the pages, Li Xiao was amazed: "Yu Shi, your accounts are very meticulous, and you use this method well. You have your own set of tools and are quite capable. You have worked hard in the Ministry of Accounts for 25 years. How can you still do it now?" Is it just a piece of cake?"

As he spoke, Li Xiao frowned and said, "It shouldn't be."

Yu Shi was startled, and said: "National teacher. This is all a matter of duty."

Li Xiao feigned displeasure and threw the account book aside, and walked towards the door with his hands behind his back, "Yu Shi, come out with my teacher."

This stunned the officials next to him. Is this Nima Yu really going to be promoted?
Yu Shi walked out a little embarrassed.

Later, it was seen by more officials.

It doesn't matter, Li Xiao himself didn't intend to hide it.

Asking Yu Shi to take him to a place where no one is around, Li Xiao cut to the chase and said, "Yu Shi, this household department. But someone suppressed you?"

Yu Shi was flattered, but he didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he cupped his hands and said, "Returning to the teacher, I have never done it before, it's because I don't have the ability to be an official."

"What ability is lacking? It's clear that ability is not reused. Could it be that the yamen in Nanjing City is already so rigid that it can't accommodate capable people!"

Li Xiao's voice was so full of energy that the entire household could hear it.

Even an idiot can hear it. Li Xiao clearly said it deliberately for everyone to hear.

Yu Shi was also taken aback and didn't know what to do.

Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said earnestly: "Yu Shi, you are a talent, you can't be buried. When the national teacher comes to Nanjing, besides promoting the dormitory area, he also needs to clean up the officialdom in Nanjing city. The atmosphere, the national teacher will not embarrass you, you just nod or shake your head, and tell the national teacher if anyone is suppressing you. "

Yu Shi was actually suppressed, as Li Xiao could tell from the account book.

This person is capable, but he was born poor. If no one is promoted, he will end up being the boss.

Yu Shi thought about it for a while, thinking of the character of the national teacher and his toughness in doing things, and what he said just now has been heard, so there is nothing to worry about.

He nodded slightly: "Yes."

"Okay, you don't need to say much, the national teacher knows it well."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, "Okay, you step back."

Yu Shi bowed deeply, and retreated nervously.

"Wait." Li Xiao shouted again.

"National teacher, what else is there?" Yu Shi stopped.

Li Xiao took out a bottle of pills from his sleeve, handed it over, and said kindly: "I heard that your wife's cough is not getting better. My national teacher specially developed a medicine. You go back and bring it to your wife. Take one pill a day for five consecutive days. Days, you should be able to recover, if not, you can come to the barracks to find me at any time."

Hearing this, Yu Shi was immediately moved.

Li Xiao is not only a national teacher, but also a master of medicine. He visited the military camp many times before, not for promotion and fortune, but for his wife's illness.

But my own people are soft-spoken and don't expect to see them.

But now, the national teacher is so kind.
"National teacher, I thank you on behalf of my wife, you are a benevolent doctor."

Yu Shi's eyes were red, and he immediately knelt down and bowed to thank him.

"Get up quickly."

Li Xiao helped him up and said, "It's nothing more than a little effort."

After finishing speaking, Fu Er whispered: "If there are any dirty things in the household department, you can report them to me."

Yu Shi nodded vigorously.

Li Xiao patted him on the shoulder, and then swaggered away.

Yu Shi also returned to the room where he worked.

Not long after Li Xiao left, Ke Ren, Minister of the Household Department, warmly invited Yu Shi to the room and poured tea himself.

"Yu Shi, what did the national teacher tell you just now?"

"It's nothing, the national teachers and doctors are benevolent, knowing that my wife is seriously ill, and gave me medicine to cure her."

Ke Ren, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, understood it as soon as he heard it.

This national teacher is clearly trying to win over this person for his use, won't he still deal with them then?

He immediately laughed and said: "The national teacher is really kind, Yu Shi, in fact, you have not been promoted for so many years, and this minister is also responsible. In fact, the things inside are very complicated, and it is not as simple as it seems on the surface. In this way, don't worry, the national teacher Since your lord recognizes your ability, after a while, the old man will think of some way to raise it for you."

For 25 years, I could not be promoted to an official despite my due diligence.

When the national teacher comes to say a few words, Shang Shu will give him a promotion.
For a moment, Yu Shi felt a little nauseous.

As the national teacher said, the official atmosphere of the imperial court is indeed full of filth. Since the national teacher came to clean up the atmosphere, and still trusts him so much, how can he live up to such trust? ?

Thinking of this, he cupped his hands and said: "Master Shangshu, I won't bother you, I am very satisfied with my current position."

When he was done, he turned to leave.

Ke Ren, Minister of the Household Department, was a little annoyed when he saw that he was too soft.

As a minister himself, he tried to persuade him with good words, but he had such an attitude, so he had no choice but to be tough: "Yu Shi, you really smell like a stone in a latrine, do you think it's so easy to mess up in the officialdom? With the thigh of the national teacher, you will be able to make a fortune? A joke, too naive! Come back quickly, the old man can ignore what you just said."

Hearing this, Yu Shi also said stubbornly: "Thank you, Mr. Shangshu, for your kindness. I, Yu Shi, are easy to be satisfied. I have never thought of being successful. Let me go!"

Li Xiao did not win over people casually.

He is specially trying to win over these hard-tempered and somewhat upright people.

To put it bluntly, Li Xiao chose people with low emotional intelligence like the "Tiedingshi" back then, just like the stones in a latrine, smelly and hard.

Just like that, Yu Shi turned and left, the angry Shang Shu's eyes stared straight.

Cursing behind his back: "Okay, okay! Yu Shi, you are really tough, I want to see how long you can be tough!"

Next, it can be imagined that Yu Shi was devastated everywhere and began to be put on small shoes.

At night, the moon is shining brightly.

A banquet was held in the mansion of Zhao Jingkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and high-ranking officials gathered.

"The National Teacher has already started to act. In name, it is to review the work. In fact, it is open and aboveboard to win over people in my yamen and use them for him."

At the banquet, the left servant of the Ministry of Rites said.

"That's right, during the daytime these days, it seems that Li Xiao has done nothing. In fact, he has been secretly observing, selecting officials, and waiting for opportunities to win over. And most of the officials who go to the court these days are not with us, so Li Xiao Xiao is one pull and one accurate."

Another official said that they finally understood what Li Xiao was doing.

"Damn it, this way, let everyone stop recuperating at home and go to court one after another, disturbing the audiovisual, and play by ear." The Minister of the Ministry of War suggested.

Afterwards, everyone responded one after another.

At the banquet, several officials of the yamen talked about the people who had been wooed in the yamen, and Ke Ren, the minister of the household department, also told about today's affairs of the head of the household department, Bo Yushi, who was favored by Li Xiao.

"Oops!"

After hearing this, Zhao Jingkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, patted the table and said, "Ke Shangshu, you have been tricked."

Ke Ren, Minister of the Household Department, said, "How do you say that?"

Zhao Jingkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "Didn't you find out? The people Li Xiao chose to win over were all from poor backgrounds, and they were self-righteous. All of them are people like this.”

Ke Ren, Minister of the Household Department: "Eh, that's true. What's Li Xiao's intention?"

Zhao Jingkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "What you have done today is tantamount to pushing Yu Shi to Li Xiao's side. When the affairs in the Ministry of Households happen, he will shake Yu Shi a little. Didn't you get caught by Li Xiao? "

Ke Ren, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, laughed: "I thought you were talking about it. I, Ke Ren, am pure and never greedy. I follow the procedure in everything. What can he really tell me?"

Zhao Jingkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "I have to guard against it. I'm not afraid of [-], just in case. Are you sure that nothing will happen?"

Ke Ren, Minister of the Household Department, was surprised: "Old man, I don't know for a while."

Zhao Jingkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War: "That's right. We are on business in the imperial court. If we are careful, we can always find some mistakes. When Li Xiao uses Jin Yiwei to arrest us, it will be very bad."

Ke Ren, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, smiled and said, "Don't worry, Sun Dahai, a member of the hundred households in Beizhen Fusi, is my nephew. If there is any movement, he will be the first to notify me."

Zhao Jingkun, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, nodded slightly, and then said: "It's not that I'm careless, the other yamen are fine, and your household department is the highlight. The household department department of the household department is in charge of household registration, soil fields, taxes, contributions, and exemptions. Someone forcibly transfers the Household Department Department, and this person is against you again, isn't he holding our lifeline?"

Ke Ren, Minister of the Household Department, was slightly taken aback, as if this was the reason.

The Department of Household Management manages the fields and taxes in Nanjing and even the borders of the south of the Yangtze River.
If the person who uses it is not one of our own, it will be very troublesome at that time.

Thinking of this, he was very preoccupied throughout the banquet.

After the banquet, everyone left one after another.

Zhao Jingkun left Ke Ren alone.

The two entered the room for a secret conversation.

In the room, two ministers sat down, Zhao Jingkun asked in a low voice:
"Ke Shangshu, we have to discuss this matter carefully. Can you still buy that solid boss under your yamen? At this juncture, you can't cause trouble in vain. Now the official minister Jian Yi has become Li Xiao's one Old dog, the official department is in charge of the promotion and transfer of officials. Li Xiao holds the Shangfang sword and acts without any scruples. If he really occupies an important department and this person cannot be controlled by us, it will be very bad. We have to guard against it. "

Ke Ren, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, thought for a while, and said, "I'm afraid it will be difficult. Today, during the day, I scolded Yu Shi severely, and then transferred two of his officials to make him a With multiple positions, this person must hold a grudge against me."

Zhao Jingkun said: "You are confused, how could you do this?"

Ke Ren snorted, and said: "At that time, I was a little annoyed. The old man took the initiative to throw out an olive branch to a small boss, but he didn't take it seriously. I heard that this person had an ugly temper and was not good at speaking. Today, I have seen it. hard!"

Zhao Jingkun whispered: "This is the end of the matter, so let's go."

He touched the neck with the palm of his hand, intending to kill.

When Ke Ren saw this, he was shocked and said: "This is too blatant. During the day, the national teacher wooed and died at night. Even a fool would know it was intentional, and everyone can guess it."

"That's right, we just let everyone guess it! Knock the mountain and shake the tiger!"

Zhao Jingkun said with a firm expression: "The national teacher has made a move now. If we want to win people to deal with us, we have to return them. Kill people and let everyone know that those who are recruited by the national teacher will die. Next, who will return?" Dare to be wooed by Li Xiao?"

Ke Ren nodded, and then sighed: "It's a way, but if we are found out, we can't afford to go around, and we will be directly manipulated by Li Xiao, thrown into prison, and beheaded by his Shangfang sword on the spot." allow."

Zhao Jingkun said: "This matter is easy, if we send dead soldiers, even if the matter is revealed, it won't hurt us."

Ke Ren was shocked and said, "Do you have a dead man?"

He didn't expect the Minister of the Ministry of War to raise dead soldiers.
Zhao Jingkun smiled slightly and said, "You don't need to know, just tell me where Yu Shi's family lives, and then leave it to me."

"Okay! Thank you, Brother Zhao."

Ke Ren didn't hold back, and immediately told the address of Yu Shi's house.

The night is dark and the wind kills the night.

Coincidentally, at midnight tonight, there was a sudden strong wind and heavy rain, which was a good opportunity to kill someone.

Zhao Jingkun sent slain soldiers, a total of 16 people, in groups of two.

They went to the homes of the eight people who were drawn by Li Xiao these days.

Either don't do it, or do it if you want to, so that everyone is afraid!
He didn't have these dead men originally, and these dead men all came from 'Mr. Liang'.

Zhao Jingkun has the greatest influence in the court. After the thunderstorm talks, the court led by him to fight against Li Xiao.

Mr. Liang is also generous, he asks money for money, asks for guns for guns, and asks for people to give.

These dead men came from the hands of Mr. Liang.

Has been hiding in his mansion, following his orders.

There were 16 dead soldiers, all of whom had extraordinary martial arts skills and had their tongues cut out.

Obviously, he was trafficked and trafficked since he was a child, and he was specially cultivated. Even if things were exposed, he would not be able to confess to anyone.

At midnight.

The sixteen assassins dispatched were dressed in black and wore bamboo hats.

In the heavy rain, they slowly entered the homes of these officials without anyone noticing.

The sword came out of the body, like a ghost, shining coldly in the dark night.

The eight people who were lured by Li Xiao are in danger!
