Chapter 248 This is the man who deserves to sit on the throne
After the eunuch who delivered the message from the palace told him that the emperor wanted to summon Prince Yi and his favorite concubine whom he brought from Dongji, Prince Yi's face was difficult to calm down for a long time.
"My Lord, what happened?"
Deng Xuelian saw King Yi standing in the courtyard for a while and couldn't help but step forward to ask.
Yi Wang gave a general explanation of the matter.
Since it was his father who wanted to see them, Prince Yi had no way to refuse.
"It's good to go see the emperor. It's just in time for you to have a status."
"Tomorrow, we will ask our father to grant us a marriage."
"Don't worry, Lian'er, I will marry you legitimately."
King Yi said with deep affection.
Before he could finish his words, he couldn't help but hug Deng Xuelian in his arms.
"Your Majesty, Shen'er hasn't fallen asleep yet. Let me coax him to sleep first, then I'll serve you."
Deng Xuelian said reluctantly.
Li Shen is the only son of King Yi and also the eldest son.
He is the son of King Yi and Queen Yuan.
The former princess was his first wife. Although the two were in a marriage of arrangement and had no feelings for each other, they treated each other with respect after marriage.
If she had not died young, Deng Xuelian would not have been able to squeeze into Prince Yi's palace.
"Don't worry about him. That rebellious son has no respect for you as a mother at all."
The king gets angry whenever the child is mentioned.
I don't know what's wrong with him. This usually gentle and well-behaved child became like a madman when he met Deng Xuelian. In order to drive her away, he even ignored the most basic rules and etiquette.
I saw it with my own eyes that a child of three or five years old actually learned how to poison himself in order to frame Lian'er!
His Lian'er is so kind, how could she do such a thing as poisoning her own son?
It must be that motherless wild child who did it on purpose.
He wanted to throw such a rebellious son into another courtyard and never care about him again.
It's just a child after all. His Lian'er will give birth to ten or eight more in the future.
"Let's get some rest so that we can be fully refreshed and ready to see our father tomorrow."
Wang Yi put his arms around Deng Xuelian's waist, picked her up horizontally, and ran straight to the bedroom.
The next day.
At the morning court session, Emperor Nan Xin specially allowed Li Tianzhuo to sit on the dragon throne with him, and the restoration of his status, as well as his favor and attention towards him, were announced to the world.
All the ministers saw clearly that as soon as Prince Changle came back, Nan Yin's position as crown prince would be self-evident.
However, this Prince Changle was helping the Dongji gang a few days ago, and he was loyal to Princess Dongji, whether he was alive or dead. Can he really come back honestly?
A group of ministers were hesitant about Li Tianzhuo's return.
"Father, I heard that Yuhuo City has recently suffered from a drought and the disaster is serious."
"I have a plan. We can transfer the water from the Misty Rain River in Jincheng next door from the north to the south and bring it into the Fire City."
"This is the design drawing, please have a look, Father."
Since Li Tianzhuo is determined to come back and seize the throne, he must show some sincerity.
As he said that, he stood up and handed the drawing in his sleeve to Emperor Nan Xin.
When the ministers heard about his plan to transfer water from the north to the south, they were all very curious about it.
The reason why the Fire City is called this name is because it becomes dry when there is water shortage in summer and autumn every year.
The people were suffering so much that they had no choice but to leave their homes.
If we don't find a way to improve it, that place will become an empty city with no one living in it in a few years.
This problem has troubled Nan Xin's ministers for many years.
Li Tianzhuo naturally did not know this overnight. He came up with the idea when he was still the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard in Dongji.
He kept this method for three years.
Listening to the ministers' discussions below, Li Tianzhuo raised the corners of his mouth slightly and took out a few more copies of the same design drawings from his sleeve.
"I have prepared a lot here. Please take it down and show it to the adults."
Li Tianzhuo and Emperor Nan Xin stood together on the high platform. In order to show his status, he had to pretend that he was too lazy to go down and see him off, and let the eunuchs around him do it for him.
Even before he ascended the throne, he acted like an emperor, making all the ministers dare not speak out against him.
How could people like them comment on Yuncheng's proud child of destiny?
In addition to the ministers, King Yi naturally also got a share.
He took a quick glance, his eyes full of admiration for Li Tianzhuo.
He narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Tianzhuo.
For a long time, he and other ministers were full of admiration for him.
This is the perfect candidate to sit on the throne!
I'm not on the same level as these people.
They could never think of such a good idea even if they spent their entire lives.
Yuan Gu was the same, he admired Li Tianzhuo very much, but besides the admiration he should have, there was also a hint of pity in his eyes.
It felt as if the genius Li Tianzhuo was about to die of old age.
Li Tianzhuo didn't notice his look.
He took out another memorial from his other sleeve.
"Father, in addition to the matter of the Fire City, I feel that if I want to protect the border of Nanxin from harassment by foreign enemies, building a city wall is also essential."
"This is a detailed plan I made for the attack and defense of northern Nanxin."
"The money for building the city wall doesn't need to be taken from the treasury. I have my own way to get it."
As he spoke, Li Tianzhuo pointed out a few names.
Each minister who was named was terrified.
They were all people involved in corruption. They had served as officials in the court of Nanxin over the years. The money they had embezzled was enough to build the Great Wall in all the cities of Nanxin near Dongji and Xilei.
As Li Tianzhuo told out their crimes of corruption one by one, not only did these corrupt officials tremble in fear, but all the court officials in the hall also bowed down to Li Tianzhuo in worship.
As expected of him, he is the commander of the Silver Dragon Guard trained by Dongji. After returning to Nanxin, he will be able to clear out the corruption in the Nanxin court in a short period of time.
"Please forgive me, I don't have much time left to return, so I have only found these corrupt officials."
"If there are any omissions, consider it as a chance that I am giving you. Within three days, if you take the initiative to confess your crimes, I will ask my father to give you a lighter sentence."
The people Li Tianzhuo picked out today were all people who once looked like kings.
To kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, he also chose to kill certain people.
As for those people he did not point out today, if they can really come before him and confess their crimes, then they will all be his people in the future.
If they don't come, he has plenty of ways to find these people one by one.
"Father, I have been away from the court for six years. Now that I am back, I will spare no effort to help you purge your followers."
Li Tianzhuo bowed to confirm.
Everyone has heard about what he did in Dongji. Emperor Nanxin and all the ministers know his abilities.
As long as he wants to, he can do it!
"Tian'er, not bad!"
"You have grown a lot in these six years of training in Dongji!"
Emperor Nan Xin's love for Li Tianzhuo also doubled.
My son is so outstanding that as a father, the pride on his face is almost unrecognizable.
He is now very sure that Li Tianzhuo will be the most outstanding monarch of his Dongji.
Of course, the prerequisite is that he wants to ascend the throne.
"We don't have an organization like the Silver Dragon Guard in Nanxin, and you just came back, so you don't have many people you can use."
"Well, I will give you the Suzaku Army. If you have any problems in the future, let General Nangong lead the Suzaku Army to help you."
