"The ministers would like to obey the imperial edict!" All the ministers said in unison.
"Well, you all go away." Chu Ye said lightly.
Everyone made a promise and retreated one after another.
After everyone left, Chu Ye's eyes fell on Chu Ye.
The corners of Chu Ye's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile.
"Chu Ye, Chu Ye, you are really smart." Chu Ye muttered to himself.
Although Chu Ye is a king, he is also a hero-level figure. He never reveals his thoughts on the surface in the court, and only plans everything behind his back.
This time, he convened all the ministers to discuss the state affairs, in fact, to test these ministers and see who had a different mind.
The result made him very disappointed. Unexpectedly, these ministers were still loyal to him, and they were very convinced of him.
Chu Ye was very satisfied with their reactions, and they deserved to be the ones he chose.
Next, he has to make a good plan, and he has almost cleaned up the Chu country, and it is time for him to leave the Chu country.
When Chu Ye returned to the imperial study, seeing that the furnishings in the imperial study were still so luxurious, he couldn't help but secretly sighed in admiration.
This is his territory, and he doesn't want it to be occupied by those foreigners. Such a luxurious and luxurious palace is only suitable for enjoyment.
Chu Ye looked at Yushufang, his eyes gradually became firm.
"This throne must be mine!"
"Come here, pass the decree to Taifu Li. I will hold a grand enthronement ceremony next year. I will appoint him as the prime minister of Chu and give him a gold medal!"
"Yes, the servants are leaving!"
Chu Ye left the imperial study room.
The capital of Chu State.
The Prime Minister's Mansion of Chu State.
Dr. Li sat on the chair, looking at Mr. Li kneeling at his feet with a livid face.
"Snapped!"
Mr. Li was slapped in the face, and he was immediately stunned and at a loss.
"Bastard! How dare you lie to me!"
"Father, please forgive me! I really didn't lie, I told the truth!" Mr. Li panicked.
"No? You said that my daughter is dead. Are you telling lies? She is clearly not dead, so why did you hide it from me? You really want to kill your father, don't you?" Taifu Li roared angrily.
"Father! I didn't!" Mr. Li quickly argued.
"You unfilial son, I raised you for nothing, and married my daughter to you. You unfilial son, I entrusted my daughter to you in vain, so that you can treat her better. How could I give birth to you? Unfilial son, get the hell out of the prime minister's residence!" Taifu Li shouted angrily.
"Father, father!" Mr. Li crawled towards Mrs. Li, trying to hug Mrs. Li's leg and beg for mercy.
But he was slapped severely by Mrs. Li, who directly pushed Mr. Li to the ground.
"Get out! I don't have you, a bastard! Get out of here!"
Taifu Li cursed angrily, and then called the guards: "Quick, drive him away!"
"No! Dad, listen to me, listen to my explanation, I really didn't lie, what I said is true! Listen to me!"
"Shut up! Get out!" Taifu Li roared angrily.
"Yes!" The guards hurried over.
"Hurry up, throw me out of the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Li Taifu ordered.
"Yes! Your Excellency Prime Minister."
The guards hurriedly dragged Mr. Li out, but Mr. Li kept struggling and kept asking for help, but it was of no avail.
The guards dragged Mr. Li to the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then pushed him out.
"boom!"
The door was closed, and Mr. Li slammed into the door heavily, and the pain was unbearable.
"Ah!" Mr. Li let out a scream.
Only at this time did he wake up. It turned out that he had already been expelled from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the father he admired the most actually expelled him from the Prime Minister's Mansion himself.
"What did I do wrong, why did I suffer this kind of treatment, why did I become what I am now." Young Master Li cried.
At this moment, a child ran over from a distance.
"Father, are you okay, dad." The little boy ran up to Mr. Li and supported him.
The child is very cute with pink and jade carvings. He is wearing pink clothes and has a chubby body. He can be seen as a wealthy man at first glance. This is the child of the eldest son Li, the second son Li.
After Mr. Li saw his son, his heart became even more desolate.
"Wuwuwuwu, son, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for you! You are my most beloved son!"
As he said that, Mr. Li began to cry, with a heartbroken look.
"Dad, what's wrong with you? What happened?"
"Your mother is dead! She was killed by the king of Chu!" Mr. Li choked up.
"King Chu? Isn't he the emperor's younger brother? Why did he kill his mother and concubine?"
"Hey, it's all my fault. It's because I was infatuated for a while that I did such a heartless thing. Now the King of Chu has taken control of the situation, and my daughter has been killed. All of this was done by the King of Chu!"
"What about the King of Chu, let's go to the King of Chu for a theory!"
"Theory is useless. Now that the entire state of Chu is controlled by the King of Chu, we can't beat the King of Chu at all! And your mother didn't leave a will for us before she died! What are we going to fight against the King of Chu?"
"This damned thief, why is he so cruel? He actually killed my concubine mother! I want revenge!"
Mr. Li gritted his teeth.
"Son, calm down! We can't fight the King of Chu, but we won't be captured without a fight! The King of Chu killed my daughter, and I will also kill his wife and children, and let them be buried with him!" Mr. Li said bitterly. .
"Father, what are you going to do?"
"This matter will be kept secret for the time being. After a few days, the limelight will pass, and then I will propose to the court the matter of crusade against the King of Chu!" Taifu Li said coldly.
"Yes!" Mr. Li nodded.
Taifu Li looked around and saw that there was no one around, and then brought Mr. Li into a room.
"Stay in the house, you are not allowed to step out of the door! If someone finds out, you will be jailed!"
"Yes!"
"Okay, you go out." Li Taifu waved his hand.
"Yes! Dad!"
"boom!"
Mr. Li turned around and left.
As soon as Mr. Li left, someone walked into Taifu Li's study, and it was Li Wen.
After Mr. Li left, Taifu Li immediately changed his smile to a kind expression, as if the old man who lost his temper before was not him.
"Master, can your plan be carried out?" Li Wen asked.
Mr. Li snorted coldly: "Hmph, let that Chu Ye pay the price this time, he dared to kill my daughter, I will tear his body to pieces!"
"But, Chu Ye has military power in his hands!"
"I'm afraid of what he will do. I have 100 million soldiers in my hands. Even if he has military power in his hands, he can't do anything to me!"
"Yes!" Li Wen said respectfully.
"During these days, you should send people to keep an eye on that Chu Ye. If you find any changes in Chu Ye, please notify me immediately."
"Yes!"
"Well, go down and rest first, I'm going to sleep in your bed tonight!"
Li Wen was stunned for a moment, then his face turned red, and then he lowered his head: "Of order, master."
After finishing speaking, Li Wen bowed and left.
After Li Taifu saw Li Wen leaving, his face returned to ice-cold, his eyes flashed with resentment, and a sinister smile formed at the corner of his mouth, and then his figure disappeared into the darkness.
In the prime minister's mansion.
After Mr. Li left, Chu Ye went back to Chu Palace.
As soon as he returned to Chu Palace, Chu Ye called a group of his subordinates to discuss matters.
"What do you think should be done about this matter?" Chu Ye said in a deep voice.
"Prince Chu, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been kicked out by Mr. Li, and now only our family is left." Chu Linfeng said.
"Well, I know, so this matter is very difficult, but now we have no other choice, we can only talk about it first when we have stabilized, and after we have mastered enough strength, we will drive Taifu Li out of the prime minister's mansion. Taifu Li knows the fate of betraying me!" Chu Ye said grimly.
"Yes!"
As soon as Chu Ye finished speaking, Taifu Li returned to the prime minister's mansion.
He galloped all the way to the gate of King Chu's mansion.
"Stop!" The guard immediately stopped Mrs. Li.
"Prince Chu's Mansion, do you remember who I am? I am the Prime Minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the eldest son of the Prime Minister, my father is the Prime Minister, my elder brother is His Highness the King of Chu, the King of Chu is my uncle, and I am also the eldest son of the Prime Minister. Wang's nephew!" Taifu Li said.
When the guards heard this, they fell to their knees in fright.
Seeing this, Taifu Li hurried into Chu Palace.
"This old slave sees Mr. Taifu." The housekeeper greeted him immediately.
"Housekeeper, please make arrangements. I will resign to the emperor tomorrow morning. Also, send this letter to the palace."
"Yes, Master Taifu." The butler immediately handed the letter to the guard, and the guard turned and left immediately after receiving the letter.
After Li Taifu entered the study, he saw Chu Ye sitting on a chair with his hands resting on his forehead, obviously thinking about some issues.
"King of Chu!" Taifu Li stepped forward and said respectfully.
"Teacher Li, you are here." Chu Ye looked up at Taifu Li.
"Prince Chu, I want to ask to see His Majesty the Emperor tonight, and I hope that His Majesty will allow you to resign and go back to seclusion." Taifu Li said earnestly.
"Oh? Taifu Li, why did you resign? I remember that Taifu Li was once considered a great Confucian, why did he suddenly want to retire?" Chu Ye asked suspiciously.
Taifu Li smiled bitterly: "His Royal Highness, I have spent my whole life in the prime minister's mansion. Now that my daughter died at the hands of Chu Ye, I am heartbroken and do not want to have anything to do with the court anymore."
"Oh, that's it. If that's the case, then I will grant your request." Chu Ye nodded slightly.
"Thank you King Chu for your kindness!" Taifu Li clapped his hands together.
"But." Chu Ye said.
"What orders does King Chu have?" Li Taifu said.
"Teacher Li, you also know that all the property of Chu Palace has been stolen these days, and now all the money of Chu Palace has been turned into banknotes. This banknote is the treasury of Chu State. If the treasury of Chu State is stolen, Chu I'm afraid there will be a disaster for the people of the country!" Chu Ye said.
"This"
"How about this, Taifu Li, I will ask my people to help you search, if I find anything, I will send someone to tell you immediately, you can rest assured."
"This is such a trouble to the King of Chu!" Taifu Li hesitated. After all, the banks in Chu State are owned by the royal family, and ordinary people are not qualified to check their bank accounts. If someone checks their bank accounts, the news will definitely be leaked. Taifu Li is worried The only thing is that he is afraid that Chu Ye will go back on his word.
"Hehe, Mrs. Li is too worried. You and I are allies, so naturally we should help each other." Chu Ye smiled slightly.
"Thank you King Chu!" Taifu Li said gratefully.
"Teacher Li is too polite, we are all colleagues."
Chu Ye waved his hand. After Li Taifu left Chu Palace, he immediately went to his subordinates in the capital and asked them to help with the investigation.
Taifu Li's subordinates quickly found out that Mr. Li had indeed gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion tonight.
And they also obtained evidence that Mr. Li had an affair with Princess Chu in the prime minister's mansion, and Princess Chu was pregnant, and Princess Chu wanted to commit suicide in order to have a child. Fortunately, Mr. Li saved her.
"Teacher Li, you said that King Chu had an affair with his concubine, so we can do it too?" Taifu Li's subordinates said with a lewd smile.
"No! This matter must not be leaked! Otherwise, we will all be condemned to death. Don't underestimate the power of King Chu!" Taifu Li scolded seriously.
"Yes!"
The subordinates didn't dare to refute, so they could only retreat resentfully.
"Damn it, the king of Chu is really going to persecute me this time. If I continue to stay in the mansion of the king of Chu, I'm afraid I will be discovered by the king of Chu sooner or later." Taifu Li gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not reconciled! I must let the king of Chu know that I am not only I’m just a good-for-nothing, but I’m still a born counselor. I absolutely want to let the King of Chu know that only I, Taifu Li, is worthy of being in charge of the country. Only I can assist the King of Chu to ascend the throne and lead the King of Chu to prosperity!”
"I don't believe you can beat me!"
Taifu Li clenched his fists tightly, he wished he could rush back immediately and give Chu Ye a hard lesson, but he didn't have the guts to do it.
The guardian of Chu Palace stopped Taifu Li.
"I am the prime minister's cousin, Li Wenxuan." Mrs. Li reported his family name.
"Oh, it turns out that they are relatives of Mrs. Li, so please go back. The Prime Minister is recuperating, and no one will be seen." The nurse said in a neutral tone.
"Do you know who I am? I'm a relative of the prime minister!" Taifu Li said angrily.
"I don't care who you are, you are a relative of the prime minister, but the prime minister is currently recuperating and healing, and it is inconvenient to see people, so you don't have to bother him." The nurse said disdainfully.
"Hmph, remember it! I'm not a small person! I'm the prime minister's brother-in-law! If you let him know that I'm blocked by you, I'll see how you deal with it!" Taifu Li sneered.
"What? The prime minister actually has such a powerful brother-in-law! Then it doesn't matter if I offend the prime minister this time." The guard snorted coldly, and then he ignored Taifu Li.
Seeing that he could not leave, Taifu Li immediately left Chu Palace.
"Hmph, Chu Ye, this time I will let you know what will happen if you offend me!" Taifu Li said coldly in his heart.
The next day, Taifu Li and his men quietly entered the prime minister's mansion and captured Princess Chu.
Chu Wangfu, Chu Wang was dealing with government affairs in the study, suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Chu Ye put down the memorial in his hand and walked out of the study.
Li Taifu immediately came out from the shadows.
The moment Chu Ye saw Mrs. Li, his face suddenly changed. He never thought Mrs. Li would find this place so soon.
"Teacher Li, I don't know what you are talking about here?" Chu Ye said indifferently.
"King Chu, I don't know if you are free, let's have a chat?" Taifu Li asked with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll chat with Mrs. Li." Chu Ye nodded, and brought Mrs. Li to his room.
Taifu Li looked around and couldn't help but sigh the luxury of King Chu.
"Teacher Li, why are you here today?" Chu Ye asked indifferently.
"King Chu, I came here last night, but your people turned me away. I have no choice but to come in person." Taifu Li sighed.
"Teacher Li, we have already negotiated, and this matter is over, why do you bother me?" Chu Ye said coldly.
"King Chu, I don't want to talk about this matter with you, I just want to talk about another matter with you." Taifu Li said in silence for a moment.
Chu Ye frowned, he knew that Mrs. Li must have come prepared.
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Yesterday, my subordinates have made a clear investigation. Princess Chu did go to the prime minister's mansion last night, but Princess Chu did not have a private meeting with another man. She went to visit the prime minister's wife, and the prime minister's wife is also pregnant, and she will be there soon. When the time comes, the prime minister will definitely let her husband take care of him, and the king of Chu will definitely take care of the prime minister's mansion, but you have to know that you are not only the prince of Chu, but also the future emperor of our Chu, and the prime minister is An extremely tough person, he will never allow his wife and children to be wronged in the slightest, I hope the king of Chu can let my men go down to protect my sister, can you agree to this?"
"I cannot agree to Mrs. Li's matter." Chu Ye shook his head and refused without hesitation.
"His Royal Highness Chu, I can make amends, and I can apologize to you on behalf of my subordinates." Li Taifu said quickly.
"Teacher Li, I will naturally not forget your contribution, but there is no room for negotiation on this matter."
