Chapter 328: Promotion Again
The thoughtful Shangguan Wan'er immediately understood why Wu Zetian was so angry in the Linde Hall.
This document must contain the specific details of the assassination and the identity of the killer...
That’s right, it’s you, Liang Wangsang, you’re definitely a beast who sells his ass!
Li Shaoyin worked so hard, but you hired assassins to assassinate Li Cunxi several times. You really deserve to be put to death!
When Shangguan Wan'er thought about how Li Cunxi had to work hard every day for national affairs and how he had to often avoid the murderers hired by Wu Sansi, she felt that Li Cunxi's life over the years had been very difficult.
"Your Majesty, Li Shaoyin..."
"It's really not easy for him to live, right?" Wu Zetian smiled slightly.
"minister……"
"I know what you mean. I can see that it's not easy for him to live to this day. All of these cases are thrilling and bizarre, and most of them are life-threatening."
"Li Shaoyin is also very capable."
"Well, if he is really a mediocre person, I will not give him the opportunity to climb up, and Li Xian, Li Dan and Ling Yue will not give him the opportunity to revive the Li Tang Dynasty."
Shangguan Wan'er closed her mouth and thought to herself, I dare not respond to such words.
Now the ministers in the court are not blind and can all see the situation in the court.
Prince Li Dan fled to Fangzhou and survived under the protection of veteran ministers and generals. Crown Prince Li Xian stayed indoors and refused to go out, which was no different from life imprisonment.
The other descendants of the Li family do not care about political affairs. They do not try to climb up to the top if they can avoid it, as they are unwilling to get into trouble.
The prince's old ministers and ministers who were loyal to the Li family also saw the direction clearly and placed their bets on Li Cunxi.
To put it bluntly, if the entire Li family really wants to take back the Li Tang dynasty, they can only bet on Li Cunxi, wait for Li Cunxi to defeat all the Wu princes, and then sit on the throne.
In order to achieve this ultimate goal, one can imagine what the old ministers and descendants of the Li family can do.
Even these people knew what to do, so it was understandable that Wu Sansi, as his mortal enemy, would hire a killer to assassinate Li Cunxi.
Therefore, the assassination of Li Cunxi in Tangzhou this time could only have been done by Liang Wang Wu Sansi, whose purpose was to eliminate the representative nominated by the Li family first.
However, Wu Sansi, this huge idiot, failed and let Li Cunxi escape.
"Wan'er, you are becoming more and more silent."
"But it's okay this way. It's good to be silent."
"Especially in a place like this, the one who talks less is always the best."
"I order the Ministry of Internal Affairs to draft an edict. Li Cunxi, the Shaoyin of Henan Prefecture, was assassinated. I am deeply saddened. I promote Li Cunxi to the rank of fifth-rank lower court official to comfort him."
A eunuch bowed and accepted the order, then left Ganlu Palace and went to the Menxia Province.
There was no need to go through the formalities in the Council of State for Li Cunxi's promotion. Zhang Jianzhi waved his hand and directly agreed to Li Cunxi's promotion on behalf of Di Renjie, Wu Chengsi and Li Huaiyuan.
Two days later, the angel, who had traveled all the way to Tangzhou, met Li Cunxi, who was enjoying the cool air in a heavily guarded post house in Bianyang County, Tangzhou.
After delivering the imperial decree, the angel said to Li Cunxi:
"To reassure Li Shaoyin, the King of Liang has been ordered to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors in his palace. His Royal Highness the King of Wei has proposed to His Majesty that the Right Imperial Guardsman Li Huaiyuan temporarily take over the position of Right Prime Minister of Wenchang."
"Now, Li Shaoyin, you have been promoted again, please enjoy your southern tour with peace of mind and do not feel dissatisfied."
Li Cunxi was promoted from a fifth-rank lower-level imperial doctor to a fifth-rank lower-level imperial doctor, so what else is there to say?
I have no choice but to thank you.
After sending the angel away, Li Cunxi placed the imperial edict on the table with a forced smile.
Wu Yanhao, who arrived late, rushed in and saw the imperial edict on the table at a glance.
He was too lazy to ask Li Cunxi what happened, so he just picked up the imperial edict and read it clearly.
After reading the contents of the imperial edict, Wu Yanhao took a breath.
"Good boy, you got promoted again?"
"It's ok that the official position with real power is the Shao Yin of Henan Prefecture, which is the fourth rank, but even the civil officials are now the fifth rank, the lower court officials?"
Li Cunxi nodded casually.
He doesn't seem to have much interest in promotion.
His goal this time was not to get promoted, but to seduce the idiot Wu Sansi.
Who knew that Wu Zetian would misunderstand him from the beginning. In order to appease his resentment, she not only asked Wu Sansi to go back and reflect on his mistakes, but also promoted him.
This can be considered an unexpected surprise.
As for the person who actually tried to assassinate him, he already knew who it was. Those idiots in Jiangzhou really deserved to die. He hadn't even arrived in Jiangzhou yet, and these people actually dared to jump out and fight with him in advance.
"Brother Yanhao, everyone enjoy a few days of comfort, we will have to leave for Shenzhou in a few days."
"Got it. Don't worry. I'll go to Jiangzhou in October to avenge your son."
At a certain place in the inn, Li Yuanfang endured for several days, but finally couldn't bear it anymore and blocked Hu Jinghui at the stairs.
Hu Jinghui, who had been waiting for Li Yuanfang for several days, immediately relaxed when he saw that the visitor was Li Yuanfang.
"Brother Jinghui, I have something to talk to you about. Let's find a place to talk."
"Okay, Yuan Fang, I probably just came out and you want to talk to me about something, let's go now."
The two men left the inn and walked along the road that everyone passed by.
The hot summer made the two sweat profusely, but no one took the initiative to speak up.
After walking for a long time, the two came to a small river. Hu Jinghui stopped and looked in the direction where the river was flowing.
Li Yuanfang also stopped and looked at Hu Jinghui. He opened his mouth but still couldn't say anything.
Hu Jinghui turned around, glanced at Li Yuanfang, and said calmly: "What do you want to ask me? Just say it. We are brothers, there is nothing that cannot be asked."
"Then I'll ask, Brother Jinghui. Don't be angry if I'm asking the wrong question." Li Yuanfang gradually calmed down. "That day on the plain, when I saw you using the Youlan Sword, I always felt that you looked like someone."
"Who does he look like?" Hu Jinghui asked slowly.
"Like the Viper in the Youzhou case. I remember it very clearly. The strong sense of oppression that Viper brought to me was just like the one I felt when you held the Youlan Sword on the plain that day."
"But Viper has already died in Youzhou, and I killed him personally. Have you forgotten?"
"That's right. It was you who killed the viper with your own hands that night, Brother Jinghui. I was overthinking it." Li Yuanfang breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that Hu Jinghui would not lie to him.
The two walked back towards the sunset and saw the posthouse from afar.
On the second day after the Iron Hand killers were driven up the mountain, Li Cunxi moved out of the military camp and was protected by the Inner Guard Chief Mo Ling and nearly a hundred Inner Guards.
Now the three floors outside the three floors of the post house are all guarded by internal guards, so the safety factor is extremely high.
"Let's go, it's time to go back and eat. It's too hot outside."
Hu Jinghui greeted him and quickened his pace.
