All the ministers were shocked to the point of being speechless!

No one has ever dared to despise the king so much and speak rudely!

Yan Jing raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly.

Li Yanzhou was crazy. He was a person who knew the old emperor. He knew the old emperor's capricious personality. The reason why he dared to be willful was because he was a royal relative with a deep background and no one in the court could move him. Even if the old emperor was furious, he would not be able to deal with him!

But where is the Dragon Star Map?

Prince Xian has just returned to favor and his foothold is not stable. In order to plan the overall situation, An Guohou kept a low profile and could not come forward easily. He is the only one who is her open backer, but the old emperor may not agree with it. The previous attempt to get into the prison was a lesson for the past, but now he may really do it...

"Ha ha!"

The old emperor laughed suddenly, causing everyone present to tremble suddenly, and he heard: "I have found a suitable candidate for the Dali Temple! The person who comes will dismiss the Censor Liang from his post and investigate! From now on, Longxingtu will remain in the capital and will be the minister of Dali Temple! Longxingtu, clearing the administration of officials, is the first thing you do when you take office, and it is also a generous gift I give you!"

The old emperor's style of painting changed suddenly, and two sudden decrees caught all officials off guard!

Censor Liang "slid" and wailed non-stop: "The emperor forgives his crimes, the emperor forgives his crimes!"

The great guard immediately entered, took off the hat and uniform of the Censor Liang, dragged the man out of the Golden Palace, and took him to Dali Temple.

Yan Jing was incredible. The old emperor was confused for many years and had been at his mercy. How could he suddenly become a different person? Could it be that the immortal pill has lost its function?

Crown Prince Zhou Jie opened his mouth several times, but he did not dare to fight head-on. However, a censor who abandoned the car and protected the coach is not a loss!

The happiest person is Li Yanzhou. He turned around and looked at the Longxing Map, with a happy smile on his thin lips: "Congratulations to Lord Long!"

However, Long Xingtu did not pay attention to him. She looked frowning and bowed to the old emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, the Cao people have not passed the scientific examination and have no achievements. They can be the county magistrate. It is already a blessing from Lord Du. I really dare not take on the position of Dali Temple Minister. I ask the emperor to take back his life!"

Li Yanzhou's smile was stiff and stiff.

No one can understand what the Dragon Star Map is thinking, except Zhou Yun.

After being stunned, the old emperor frowned and said, "Longxing Map, you are the first person to be unafraid of contradicting me, and you are also the first person to resist the order and become an official! Your reason cannot convince me!"

Long Xingtu kowtowed again, and his words were sincere, "Report to the emperor, Caomin does not want to be an official, especially the official in the capital. Caomin knew that resisting the order was a death sentence, but Caomin did not want to deceive the emperor. The capital was a dragon and tiger den for Caomin who had no roots and no foundation. No matter how high the official hat of Caomin is, it could not withstand the coldness of the high places. Moreover, Caomin could not let go of Lord Du. In recent years, bandits have been rampant. People in the green forest formed gangs to occupy the mountains and became kings, and they did everything to kill the family and rob the house and plunder the people's wealth. In the eyes of Lord Du

He was not allowed to resist sand and spared no effort to suppress bandits, so many bandits often assassinate them. Caomin has been in Wuyang County for the past two years. One is to assist in the affairs of Lord Du’s yamen, and the other is to protect Lord Du’s life. This time he has been traveling for a long time. Zhongli and Zhong Chu also accompanied Caomin, and almost all the elite soldiers of Wuyang County were sent to Beijing. There was no one around him. Caomin was really worried about Lord Du’s safety and was eager to return, so he begged the emperor to allow Caomin to return to Wuyang County and continue to serve the country as a master!”

After hearing this, the old emperor was deeply moved: "Longxing Map, you really made me look at me with admiration! I am open-minded and straightforward, and I am not foolish in dealing with things. In order to protect a county magistrate, I am willing to give up my bright future of reaching the sky in one step. It is indeed a rare talent with good character!"

Speaking of this, he changed his tone, looked at Zhou Jie, and said earnestly: "Crown Prince, who wins the hearts of the people will win the world. Look at Du Mingcheng, he has no power and no money, but he can get this loyal and loyal general. Even I failed to steal people from him!"

"Emperor, no matter where Caomin is, she is the emperor's people and is serving the emperor's Xia Dynasty. Caomin is loyal to Lord Du and even more loyal to the emperor!" Long Xingtu quickly added that in order to successfully achieve her goal, she did not hesitate to flatter the old emperor.

The prince bowed and replied humbly: "Yes, my son remembers the teachings of his father and should learn more from Lord Du in the future."

The old emperor nodded with satisfaction, but the following words were meaningful, "Bandits are rampant, the people are killed, and the court ordered officials to be in danger of their lives. I have never heard of such a major national event! Did no one report from the Ministry of War, from the prefecture to the governor?"

"I am negligent! After receiving the report, the Ministry of War ordered the generals of each state to send troops to suppress the bandits, but the number of bandits was very wide and the distribution was mixed, and they were endless and had little effect! I really had no face to report to the emperor!" Liu Chang, the Minister of War, stepped out and knelt down to apologize.

The old emperor suddenly became angry: "Clever words! Do you still have the emperor of me in your eyes? I dare to deal with military and national affairs privately. Will I wait until the enemy enters the capital, enters the palace, and inserts the sword into my heart? I will know what has given birth to my country?"

"I know the crime! I am... I am strictly obstructing each other, saying that it is to let the emperor rest and rest, so..."

"presumptuous!"

The old emperor roared, stood up from the dragon throne, and shouted: "Remove Liu Chang's position as Minister of War, immediately be sent to the Heavenly Prison, and be strictly deposed! The Ministry of War, as the Minister of War, was demoted to two levels in a row, and the Minister of War was appointed by Marquis of Anguo. Within half a year, the bandit camps across the country will be eliminated. If the remnants are left, the national law will be dealt with!"

The Marquis of Anguo immediately received the order: "I obey the order!"

"Your Majesty, please spare me, please..."

Liu Chang was taken away by the big guard in despair.

All officials were silent and finally everyone was in danger!

Yan Jing hurriedly knelt down and said, "Emperor, Liu Chang is talking nonsense. The old minister is in charge of national economy and people's livelihood. How can he interfere with the Ministry of War? Please make it clear!"

"The prime minister neglects his duties, interferes in foreign affairs, deceives the emperor, demotes his official position to one level, and is fined for one year!" The old emperor was still furious. The imperial power was threatened and provoked. Regardless of whether it is true or false, he loses his face in front of his ministers. Even his favorite ministers cannot forgive him.

Yan Jing was sweating in cold sweat, "Old minister thanked the emperor for his kindness!"

Li Xi helped the old emperor down the jade stairs, walked all the way to the Longxingtu, and said condescendingly: "Longxingtu, I can allow you to return to Wuyang County, but Zhong Chu..."

The old emperor had not continued to say it, but was waiting for her answer.

Long Xingtu understood and said, "Zhong Chu and Cao Min are childhood sweethearts. The master has long entrusted Zhong Chu to Cao Min, so naturally, wherever the Cao Min goes, Zhong Chu goes."

She thought about it and tried to figure out the holy intention. She thought that the old emperor must have known that Zhou Yun summoned Zhong Chu. Then, if the two sons rob a girl, the old emperor would only have two kinds of solutions to avoid the brothers' rebellion. One was to kill Zhong Chu; the other was to marry Zhong Chu to a third person.

Then, she is the most suitable buyer.

However, in order to avoid committing a crime of deceiving the emperor in the future, the Dragon Star Map deliberately puts effort into writing. It can not only play a suggestive role, but also helps to escape from the crime by clever words, which is a life-saving magic weapon in advance.

The old emperor nodded: "Okay, I'm sure."

"The people of the grass thank the emperor for their grace!" Long Xingtu was extremely happy.

The old emperor glanced sideways and glanced at Li Yanzhou, "How can you decide the royal marriage? Since you know that there are any inappropriate things in your words and deeds, you should be cautious in your words and actions and keep yourself clean. Do you understand?"

"Yanzhou knows his mistakes, so he must remember the emperor's teachings. But..."

Li Yanzhou's eyebrows were frowned into the character "Chuan". After hesitating for a moment, he still said boldly: "But I really can't deserve the princess and dare not delay the princess's marriage. With my body, I will definitely die young..."

"Shut up!" The old emperor shouted, and his face that had just recovered was gloomy again, "I dare to say a little nonsense again, I have cut your tongue!"

"emperor……"

"From today, Li Yanzhou will temporarily take up the position of Dali Temple Minister and will not leave the capital. He will be treated every day by the imperial physician. He will report minor illnesses every three days and serious illnesses every day. If my son-in-law cannot be cured, the Imperial Hospital will come to see you!"

After the imperial edict, Li Yanzhou immediately got upset. Why did the beauty he expected turned into separation between the two places? Did the promise he had made in front of the Dragon Star Map become a joke?

The sourness that surged from the tip of the dragon star map was suppressed by her. Since she chose to protect her future and give up her love for her children, it was the burden she had to bear.

Before the old emperor retired from the court, he left the last decree: "Du Mingcheng holds my iron certificate of death exemption in his hand. In the world, those who dare to kill Du Mingcheng will be killed, whether they are officials or bandits, and will destroy the nine clans! The Ministry of Rites plans to announce the imperial list to the whole country!"

"Abide by the order!"

"Greatly send me the emperor!"

All the officials bowed and felt the cold wind was coming!

After stepping out of the Golden Palace, the morning light has spread all over the palace.

The Dragon Star Map turned around, crossed the officials, bowed and said, "The Star Map sets off today, and I will bid farewell to the Prince of Virtue and the Marquis of Anguo. I hope you will be healthy and smooth in the future!"

"Master Long, before you go back to the inn, I will hold a farewell for you." An Guohou sighed. Although he knew the result last night, he was still reluctant to leave when he was faced.

Long Xingtu shook his head, "Thank you for your kindness, but there is no need. I am not used to parting scenes. I'm sorry, the Marquis greets me, please take care of my wife!"

The Hou An Guo nodded and sincerely reminded: "Okay, take care of yourself all the way, be careful."

"Master Long, please accompany me for a walk." Zhou Yun said in a gentle voice.

Dragon Star Map bowed: "Yes."

The two of them walked towards the Imperial Garden, one in front and one behind.

Li Yanzhou stood not far away, staring quietly at the Dragon Star Map, expressionless.

The light from the Dragon Star Map reflected into that face, but her steps did not stop, as if she had not seen it.

After walking a long way, Zhou Yun broke the tranquility and said, "Star Map, thank you."

"What does Prince Xian thank me? There is no need to thank me, I just did what I think is right." Long Xingtu did not agree.
