Ninth Grade Jailer: He actually went on a blind date with the leader of the Demon Cult at the beginn

Li Nuo behaved in a very high-profile manner and took the first place among the military attaches, alongside Cui Wuhui, the head of the civil service.

Stepping into the Taiqing Hall, the civil servants on the left and the martial arts on the right lined up on both sides.

As soon as he met Emperor Jingtai's gaze, Li Nuo could feel Emperor Jingtai's heartfelt joy.

His familiar Highness, King Qin, is finally back!

Long live my emperor.

My dear friends, no courtesy.

After the ceremony of the monarch and his ministers, the court meeting got down to business with the young eunuch singing the promise of If there is something to do, I will leave the court if there is nothing to do.

Your Majesty, Zhao Quan's family is being searched and executed, and the governor of Jiangnan is vacant. Your Majesty, please select a candidate as soon as possible to calm the hearts of the people in Jiangnan. The minister recommends the right minister of the Ministry of War to be the governor of Jiangnan...

Your Majesty, there are also candidates for the Governor of Lingnan... Wei Chen believes that Mr. Zheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, can serve as...

Jiangnan and Lingnan were two pieces of fat, which naturally caused all parties in the court to compete with each other.

But this matter cannot be decided in one or two days.

It is difficult to reach an agreement on the exchange and balance of interests within a month or two.

In short, this wrangling is going to take a lot of time.

But Li Nuo, the governor-general's killer, just cared about killing and not burying him. He felt sleepy after hearing these nonsense.

He had no interest or desire to interfere. Otherwise, it will give people the bad feeling of covering the sky with one hand, which is not worth the gain.

finally.

Someone raised the issue of Chun Wei's selection as examiner, which immediately cheered up Li Nuo.

The imperial examination is the top priority, so it should be scheduled on the tenth day of April. As for the candidates for the examiner...do you have any suggestions?

Emperor Jingtai looked around at the ministers and asked.

Your Majesty! I recommend myself to be the examiner for this session!

Li Nuo strode out of the queue and said loudly.

Emperor Jingtai smiled slightly: Ai Qing is the Crown Prince's Grand Master and the Duke of Wu'an in the dynasty. Wen Ke can bring peace to the world with his pen, and his military skills can determine the world. To be a small examiner, is he overqualified and underused?

What your Majesty said is true! Mr. Li is a person who does big things. There is no need for the little Chunwei Examiner.

Nangong Qinhu is indeed an old fox. He seized the opportunity and immediately said, Although I am old, my eyes are not dim yet. I can eat cattle every day and I am full of energy. I am just suitable to be the examiner. Please allow your majesty...

The words hit the ground, and there was a sudden silence in the Taiqing Palace.

Except for a few honest people, everyone who has managed to get to this position is very clear-minded. What the Emperor just said was clearly making fun of Duke Wu An, and his closeness to Duke Wu An was revealed both in and out of his words. .

Everyone can understand this. After all, Duke Wu An was responsible for rescuing Jia, and his contribution was indispensable.

But why did you, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, come out to cause trouble?

This is causing trouble for people and offending both sides.

Emperor Jingtai's expression changed slightly when he saw that Nangong Qinhu was so ignorant.

Does this old guy have no eyesight, or does he do it on purpose?

But he couldn't just ignore the Nangong family's face.

He then straightened his face and asked: Nangong Ai Qing, envoys from Western Chu will come to Beijing soon to discuss the alliance between the two countries. The top priority is to entertain them, but the Ministry of Rites still needs to make arrangements. As the Ministry of Rites, you Right Minister, if you continue to be the examiner, won’t you be too busy?”

Your Majesty, for the reception of foreign envoys, Mr. Chen, the left minister, can just come forward.

Nangong Qinhu pretended to be dumbfounded and didn't understand what Emperor Jingtai said.

Don’t know how to praise!

Emperor Jingtai was very angry. He had an idea, kicked the ball to the princes, and asked: My dear friends, please tell me, how to arrange the candidates for the examiner?

Of course he was partial to Zian in his heart, but he couldn't go too far. After all, he is the emperor now rather than the original King of Qin.

Even if this bowl of water is not flat, it cannot be too different.

It's just that the ministers are not stupid. They are not willing to accept the topic raised by the emperor.

On one side is the Nangong family with five surnames and Qiwang. A thousand-year-old family that has gone through several dynasties has become deeply entrenched and cannot afford to be offended.

On the other side was the more prominent and famous Duke Wu An, who was in his prime years, so he could not afford to take the blame even more.

For a while.

There was an embarrassment on the field.

No one spoke, no one came to the rescue of Emperor Jingtai.

Of course Li Nuo would not embarrass the emperor, so he winked at Chen Lin, the censor.

Of course, he had not been idle these past few days. He almost rummaged through Nangong Qinhu's underwear.

This old boy looks upright, but secretly, he does a lot of things like male prostitutes and female thieves!

Chen Lin, who has become Li Nuo's lackey, has long been gearing up and eager to give it a try. Now that I have received the signal from my master, I can't bear it any longer.

He strode out of the queue, first surrendered to the emperor, and then looked at Nangong Qinhu angrily, as if he had the revenge of killing his father, and said angrily: I, Chen Lin, the chief minister of the imperial censor, impeached Nangong Qinhu, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites, for three major crimes!

As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was shocked.

Okay.

Old dog Chen jumped out and bit people randomly again!

You know, Chen Lin's reputation among the people has increased rapidly these days. After all, his impeachment also brought down many officials!

The common people gave thumbs up to Mr. Chen who was not afraid of power.

In the official circles, this guy was also given a nickname - Chen Laogou!

But Chen Lin didn't care, instead she was complacent! I'm going to bite you, what can you do to me?

After everyone was stunned, intriguing smiles appeared on their faces.

Hey.

There's another good show to watch.

Seeing that everyone's attention had been drawn to Chen Lin, she puffed up her chest and said righteously: The first crime is that I secretly raised eighteen concubines and slept in a brothel at night, which is against the rules of an official... …”

The ministers suppressed their laughter.

What kind of crime is this?

This is just a lack of personal ethics.

Who hasn’t visited a brothel?

Chen Lin pretended not to see it and continued: The second crime is taking the widow Mrs. Zhang as a concubine!

Mrs. Zhang was the married wife of General Zhang. However, General Zhang led his army to attack the Demon Cult and unfortunately died in battle.

Therefore Mrs. Zhang became a widow. But this pretty widow was attracted by Nangong Qinhu... and through various means, coercion and inducement, Mrs. Zhang finally gave in...

This matter is either small or big.

But these two points were not enough to defeat Nangong Qinhu.

Everyone knew that the feast was coming soon.

And Chen Laogou did not disappoint them.

Chen Lin said solemnly: The third crime is that in the autumn of last year, he used power for personal gain and cheated for his son Nangong Zishuo. With such a bad character, if he became the examiner, wouldn't he be laughed to death by the world's scholars? Could it be my court? Is there no one left? I hope Your Majesty will notice clearly!

You, you, you...you old dog Chen, you bite people when you catch them! You are framed by me, I am incompatible with you!

Nangong Qinhu was immediately furious.

Chen Lin puffed up her sleeves and snorted coldly, her eyes showing disdain: I am the censor, and I have the right to report the news. What's more, this matter will be found out as soon as I investigate! How can your son get the second place in Qiuwei's examination when his literary heart is dusty? Madam Zhang, if your majesty allows it, please come and confront her on the spot and everything will become clear. As for the eighteen-room concubine, she can't wait in the lobby, so forget it.

Emperor Jingtai looked at Nangong Qinhu with an unkind expression: Master Nangong, I can ignore your personal affairs. But if you really use your power for personal gain and undermine the fairness of the imperial examination, I will never forget our past friendship.

Nangong Qinhu trembled, and finally knelt down with a plop.

In fact, among these three crimes, the first two are irrelevant, but fraud in the imperial examination can plunge him into an abyss.

And he, who loved his son so much, did use his hands and feet.

Although he thought he would not leave any traces, it would be difficult for him to prove his innocence if someone wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Moreover, looking at the look in Chen Lin's eyes that was almost convinced of him, she clearly had some evidence.

Nangong Qinhu knew that if he didn't cut off his arm, he would die without a burial place.

Your Majesty, I know the crime... Please punish me. But everything I did was for my son. Your Majesty, I am fifty-two years old, but I only have one son...

Nangong Qinhu made a quick decision, burst into tears and began to play the emotional card.

As expected, Emperor Jingtai relented. He waved his hand and said, Send me your words. I will allow you to return to your hometown to take care of yourself...

A farce came to an end with Nangong Qinhu's resignation.

As for the choice of examiner, naturally no one competed with Li Nuo.

…

After leaving the court.

A young eunuch stopped Li Nuo and said that the emperor was waiting for him in the imperial garden.

Of course Li Nuo would not refuse.

Under the guidance of the little eunuch, we came to the Royal Garden.

Emperor Jingtai did not put on any emperor's posture, he immediately stepped forward, punched Li Nuo twice, and said gratefully: Zian! Thank you very much. Without you, I'm afraid I would have been imprisoned for the rest of my life.

Li Nuo sighed and said: Your Majesty, Wenzong has taken over your body, but your mind is still awake?

Emperor Jingtai's face showed a look of pain: I know everything he did, but I was unable to fight and resist, I could only stare. That feeling is more uncomfortable than death. Fortunately, you beheaded him, so I can See the light of day again.”

Then when did he take over your body? And how did he do it?

Li Nuo expressed his doubts.

Emperor Jingtai gritted his teeth and said: Human Pill!

Blood Sacrifice Pill?

Li Nuo was shocked.

King Qin went south before to investigate this case, but he didn't expect that he would be harmed by this human pill in the end.

Emperor Jingtai said with murderous intent in his eyes: Do you still remember that monk? What I was given was the Human Pill, and the Human Pill was used to slowly transform me into a body suitable for Wenzong to seize the body!

Li Nuo took a deep breath.

He thought there was something wrong with that monk at the beginning, but unfortunately... King Qin was unconscious at that time, and Princess Qin's attitude towards him...

It's a pity that although I caught the monk, I was killed and silenced by Wenzong. Otherwise, I could have known the truth earlier and rescued you.

Li Nuo said melancholy.

Emperor Jingtai asked again: Do you know who that monk is?

who?

It's the King of Wu who took away his biological son Li Tang!

Emperor Jingtai said bitterly.

So it turns out that King Wu and Wenzong are of the same species!

Li Nuo suddenly realized.

The human elixir transforms the body and then seizes the body. In this way, you can live forever!

When Li Tong was escorted to Beijing, he was rescued on the way. It must have been Wenzong's handiwork.

Let's not talk about this anymore. It's all over... Zian, let me ask you, do you really want to marry the emperor's sister?

Emperor Jingtai joked.

In the battle at Chang'an, Qingyang shielded me from the sword... How could I betray her? Your Majesty, you won't stand in my way, right?

Li Nuo admitted generously.

Emperor Jingtai was in a dilemma: But you are already married, and with your temperament, it is absolutely impossible for your wife to be a child, let alone divorce her. But the emperor is the eldest princess of Dayin, how can she be a child?

There is no distinction between the wives of ministers, big or small.

Li Nuo vowed.

What you say doesn't count, unless you can convince those old stubborns.

Emperor Jingtai curled his lips.

The clan's mansion?

Li Nuo asked.

Emperor Jingtai nodded and said: Yes, there is nothing I can do if those old stubborns become stubborn.

Then I'll go and convince them myself. I'm afraid they won't dare not give me face.

Li Nuo was full of confidence.

Please don't mess around?

Emperor Jingtai was worried.

Don't worry, we won't kill them.

Li Nuo patted his chest and promised.

Hey! In fact, as long as I don't kill you, I... can tell you everything!

Emperor Jingtai is also extremely heroic!

My lord, I obey the order!

Li Nuo laughed.

After chatting for a while, Li Nuo stood up and left.

Emperor Jingtai opened his mouth, but he still didn't stop Li Nuo.

That’s all.

There were some things that Zian couldn't help him with.

What he is most troubled about now is... Queen Wang.

Should we abolish the queen?

And the child that is about to be born in the queen's belly...

This confused him.

Harem.

Queen Wang has been having a hard time these days.

There is no airtight wall in the world. The news that Li Nuo used the Human Emperor Sword to kill Wenzong naturally reached her ears.

This kept her awake for several nights.

Did Wenzong occupy His Majesty's body?

so……

Is it Wenzong who is sleeping with her?

Whose child is that?

…

After Li Nuo left, he returned to Chang'an.

But what surprised him was that at dawn the next day, he got the news - just last night, Nangong committed suicide by catching a tiger...

When he was discovered, he hanged himself from a beam.

This surprised Li Nuo.

Isn't Nangong Qinhu's psychological quality too poor?

His Majesty asked him to retire and return to his hometown, which meant that he could forget about the past and go home to be a rich man and enjoy his old age in peace. Why commit suicide?

Husband, Nangong committed suicide by catching a tiger? Will this affect you?

Ye Qingyu was a little worried.

What does it have to do with me that he committed suicide? Maybe he felt ashamed to see others, so he committed suicide.

Li Nuo shrugged indifferently.

And it didn't take long.

Two officials from the Ministry of Justice knocked on the door.

Master Li...

These two officials from the Criminal Department can also be regarded as Li Nuo's former subordinates.

When they met Li Nuo, they both looked embarrassed.

What's the matter?

Li Nuo asked.

Last night someone reported to the police that Nangong had captured a tiger and committed suicide. Our team from the Criminal Department took action. After investigation, we found that the suicide was faked!

He committed suicide? Do you suspect it was me?

Li Nuo narrowed his eyes.

I dare not. But according to the procedure, Mr. Li still needs to accompany us...

Inviting Mr. Wu An to tea at the Ministry of Justice was a hard job. Everyone pushed it back and forth, but in the end it fell on them.

Who told them to work under Li Nuo?

Okay, I won't embarrass you two. I will just go with you. You go outside and wait.

Li Nuo agreed, and the two officials were extremely surprised.

Mr. Wu An is still so considerate of his subordinates.

Madam, I'm going to Luoyang. Don't worry, nothing will happen. Just explain clearly.

Li Nuo noticed his wife's worry and comforted her with a smile.

Ye Qingyu said: Husband, accompanying you is like accompanying a tiger. Even if King Qin comes back, he will no longer be the same King Qin as before.

Li Nuo was surprised and said: What do you mean...

Husband, you have become an extremely popular minister and have no title.

But I am a civil servant and cannot rebel.

But you killed Wenzong, but Wen Xin and the foundation of Confucianism and Taoism were not affected in any way. Ye Qingyu reminded.

I see!

Li Nuo nodded.

The implication of the lady is that since he can kill Wenzong, he can naturally depose Emperor Jingtai, and then support other royal children to ascend the throne as emperor!

Regardless of whether anyone reminds him or not, Emperor Jingtai will react.

But Emperor Jingtai, would he really turn his back on others?

Li Nuo didn’t believe it!

And at the same time.

Luoyang Imperial Palace.

Royal study room.

The monarch and his ministers play against each other.

This gentleman is Emperor Jingtai.

And this minister is Cui Wuhui!
