Although the British Empire under the rule of Li Lu is known as a country under the rule of law, but under the rule of Li Lu, a strong monarch, it still has a strong color of human rule, although the officialdom of the British Empire is not as bad as other feudal dynasties, but it is far from reaching the ideal state that Li Lu wants, even if Li Lu has the strongest control of the imperial center, courtiers are intrigued, and gangs are not uncommon, although Li Lu racked his brains and thought of many ways, but this problem is even after a thousand years, There is no better way, in the end Li Lu is also helpless, he can only through the combination of the rule of law and the rule of virtue, try to reduce the probability of his subordinates making mistakes.......
Li Lu promoted a few years ago The personnel department Shangshu Jin Shengjun is a complete traitor, although Li Lu has repeatedly reminded himself that he should pay attention to his courtiers among the ministers, but he is a man not a god, Li Lu, who has always looked at people very accurately, looked away at this Jin Shengjun, he has always thought that Jin Shengjun came from the grassroots level and has excellent ability, is the successor of the current Prime Minister Xue Xiruo and Vice Minister Di Renjie, and Li Lu is full of hope and expectations for him.But what Li Lu, the emperor, did not expect was that his favorite minister Jin Shengjun had been coveting the high position of prime minister since he entered the center of the imperial cabinet, hoping to have more and greater power in his hands.And although Xue Xiruo is from the wealthy family of the Xue family of Broken Leaves, but he is old, Jin Shengjun believes that only by knocking Xue Xiruo down as soon as possible and letting him come down from the position of prime minister, can he go further, as long as Xue Xiruo retires from the prime minister in advance, then he can sit in the position of deputy prime minister in advance, therefore, he believes that Xue Xiruo is a roadblock for him to climb up, and thinks about how to bring Xue Xiruo down all day long.Xue Xiruo has an eight-year-old grandson, named Xue Ji, who is very loved by Xue Xiruo and often plays around him.Jin Shengjun can see Xue Ji, a little doll, every time he goes back to the Prime Minister's Office to meet Xue Xiruo.One day, when Jin Shengjun retired from the palace and left the palace, he saw Xue Ji playing with a group of children outside the palace gate.He frowned suddenly, and thought about it, since it was difficult to start from the old man Xue Xiruo, why didn't he make up his mind on his grandson?
Such a little kid, it's so easy to deceive.Therefore, he stopped under the pretext of waiting for all the Chinese military officials to leave, and there was no adult at the scene except for his own entourage, so he walked to Xue Ji unhurriedly and tentatively stimulated Xue Ji with words: "Xue Jixian nephew, some people say that your guts are smaller than a mouse, is that so?"
”"Uncle Kim, who are you listening to when you say this?
It's too underestimating people!
”As soon as the little boy Xue Ji heard that someone said that he was less courageous than a mouse, Xue Ji, who thought he was a little man, was unwilling, and he immediately retorted back."
Actually, I don't believe that uncle.The precious grandson of the prime minister, is there anything in this world that you dare not do?
”Jin Shengjun saw that Xue Ji had begun to take the bait, so he further stimulated him, "However, hearing is false, you have to see everything with your own eyes to convince people."
Virtuous nephew, if you really have the guts, do you dare to smash one of the big wooden barrels at the gate of the Chaoyang Hall of the Imperial Palace?
”As the grandson of the prime minister, Xue Ji, no matter how young he is, still understands the seriousness of this kind of thing very well.As soon as the other party's words came out, he was keenly aware of Jin Shengjun's intentions: Uncle Jin actually instigated me to smash things at the gate of the palace, isn't this bullying me for being young and ignorant, and wanting to borrow the emperor's hand to kill my whole family?
Okay, I'm going to see who is smarter.After making up his mind, he deliberately frowned stupidly and said, "But, Uncle Kim, I don't have a tool in my hand, so what can I use to smash such a large barrel?"
”"It's easy, I'll ask my entourage to lend you the waist knife."
Jin Shengjun replied with a smile, and at the same time turned back and ordered his entourage to untie the waist knife on his body and hand it over.Xue Ji took the waist knife, without saying a word, stepped in a few steps in front of the big wooden barrel on the left side of the palace gate, and raised the knife to split.The two wooden barrels at the entrance of the palace are called "Chenglu buckets", the origin of this "Chenglu barrels" is still said, Li Lu's beloved daughter Tianxiang Princess Li Xiangjun had a sickness, and later the old fairy Sun Simiao of the Taoist gate opened the medicine in need of rootless water, Li Lu let people use a pair of wooden barrels made of precious Nanmu, the purpose is to use them to bear the dew and rain, and then cured the princess's strange disease, and then this pair of wooden barrels was exclusively for the royal drinking treatment, has always been regarded as an inviolable holy relic.Now that he has been cut down by Xue Ji, the consequences can be imagined.The next day, an official reported this matter to the imperial court, and Li Lu, as the supreme of the British Empire, was naturally furious, and immediately passed on Xue Xiruo's ancestors and grandsons to ask for guilt.Xue Xiruo knelt down under the Great Palace, his face was bloodless, he knew that he didn't have to hope for a second way except to die obediently, so he simply shut up and didn't make any excuses.In contrast, Xue Ji was much calmer, always maintaining a casual demeanor, as if nothing had happened.When Li Lu saw his appearance, he became more and more angry, and couldn't help but shout angrily: "Bold Xue Ji, who dares to smash the holy relics at the gate of the palace, what crime should he be guilty of?"
”"Your Majesty is wise!"
Xue Ji was not afraid, and calmly raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, you might as well think about it carefully, is it better to unify the world with one (barrel) or two (barrels) over the world?"
”"Daring fanatic!"
Li Lu retorted casually, "Since ancient times, there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two masters for the people!"
What bastards rule the world?
Aren't you blatantly trying to rebel?
Come on, quickly push this little traitor out of the noon gate and behead him!
”"Your Majesty is angry!"
Xue Ji still said calmly, "Your Majesty, you are right, the world is the world under Your Majesty's control!"
It was for this important reason that I smashed the extra barrel at the entrance of the palace!
”When the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty heard this, they were all stunned, and their eyes stared at Li Lu and Xue Ji in unison."
This little brat, yours is the real thing!"
For the upright and selfless Xue Xiruo, Li Lu has always attached great importance to him, even if his grandson commits a crime, he just wants to close the case as soon as possible in line with the principle of "one person commits a crime, one person is responsible", and will never implicate his family.Unexpectedly, the little child in front of him could use such short words to say a crooked reason that sounded very comforting.He was overjoyed in his heart, not only did the anger just now disappear in that moment, but he couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and praised Xue Xiruo again and again: "Old Aiqing, you have taught future generations well, your grandson is so eloquent at a young age, and he will become a great weapon in the future, which is really gratifying!"
”Things would take such a surprising turn for the worse, and Jin Shengjun never dreamed of it.The Xue family has such a smart descendant, if we don't eradicate him as soon as possible, it is possible that he will be stronger than my Jin family for generations!
You'll have to figure it out anyway......
In addition to being amazed, Jin Shengjun discovered Xue Ji's cuteness again, that is, Xue Ji, a little guy, is very smart, but in the end he is still a little tender.What if this time in front of the little milk baby he insisted that I instructed him to do it......
However, I don't have to worry too much, even if he really says that, he can't come up with conclusive evidence, and the emperor can't do anything about me?
Since he doesn't know how to push the blame on others, and he relies on his own little cleverness, he dares to do anything and say anything, why don't I fool him again, let him get into trouble again, and see how he can get away with it when the time comes.
