Happy Emperor

Chapter 149 I don't like useless people

"Don't...don't kill me!"

Lu Jianyan covered his chest and coughed violently.

A mouthful of blood spit out from his mouth.

"I won't kill you! I wish I could tear you to pieces now."

An Xia's eyes were filled with anger.

If Emperor Li had not been beside him at this moment, he would have probably been killed.

"Your Majesty, I, your servant, have something to report to you."

There was a hint of evil in the corner of Lu Jianyan's eyes.

"An Xia, last night..."

"Are you going to say that General An attempted to assassinate me last night?"

Lin Tian interrupted with a faint smile.

Hearing this, An Xia became even angrier.

But he couldn't go forward and fight. Firstly, Emperor Li hadn't given the order, and secondly, if he killed Lu Jianyan now, some things would become unclear.

"You...you already know?" Lu Jianyan looked at Emperor Li with disbelief.

"Then, then why don't you execute An Xia?"

"Are you teaching me how to do things?"

"Your Majesty, I dare not!" Lu Jianyan knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking uncontrollably because of extreme fear.

He now hates Li Se, the bastard, to death. If he hadn't existed, how could his identity have been exposed?

"General Anxia, ​​I have something to ask you."

Lin Tian ignored Lu Jianyan who was almost frightened, and asked An Xia in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, this old minister is guilty!"

An Xia knelt down with a look of shame on her face.

"Did Lu Jianyan secretly instigate you to do what happened yesterday?"

Lu Jianyan: “.......”

An Xia was stunned when she heard this, and looked up at Emperor Li for a long time without reacting.

Li Zuo, who was standing by, saw that she didn't respond at all and kept winking at her anxiously, but An Xia acted as if she didn't see anything.

Li Zuo knew that Emperor Li was taking the initiative to find an excuse for An Xia.

Where in the world can you find such a tolerant emperor! But ministers as foolish as An Xia are indeed rare.

Li Zuo had no choice but to speak: "General An, Emperor Li is asking you a question?"

He couldn't let Emperor Li be left out like this.

"Uh...back to your majesty."

An Xia finally reacted, "This matter is my fault. I am willing to accept any punishment, but first I want to tear that bastard Lu Jianyan into pieces with my own hands."

Lu Jianyan was speechless again.

"Why did you take me with you if you were going to die?!"

Lin Tian: “.......”

He is now really impressed by General An Xia.

It's really nothing that this guy is capable of assassinating me.

He is even more ruthless than Huang Tianba, and very aggressive.

Lin Tianjian and An Xia couldn't explain it clearly.

He stared at An Bilie who was standing beside him with a red face.

When An Bilie saw Emperor Li looking at him, he immediately reacted.

He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter has already been explained to me by your uncle. It was all orchestrated by Lu Jianyan. It was because of his instigation that your uncle mistakenly believed..."

Lu Jianyan stared at An Bilie and Emperor Li and the others with wide eyes.

"When did I become the mastermind behind this?"

But at this moment, no matter how stupid he was, he understood that this damn Emperor Li was going to push this matter onto him.

In other words, he became the excuse for Emperor Li to pardon An Xia.

At this moment, he finally understood what it meant to be more wronged than Dou E.

"Huh, Lu Jianyan, you are so brave."

Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, An Bilie had been by his side for a long time and could understand a little about his thoughts.

Otherwise he wouldn't know how to continue acting.

At this moment, he no longer looked at Lu Jianyan, but asked An Bilie beside him again.

"An Bilie, I ask you, what is the crime for assassinating the emperor?"

"Kill the nine tribes!"

"What does the Nine Clans include?"

"Four from the father's family, three from the mother's family, and two from the wife's family, a total of nine families." An Bilie answered loudly, fearing that Lu Jianyan beside him could not hear clearly.

“Don’t…don’t.”

The more Lu Jianyan listened, the more frightened he became, and he was trembling so much that he couldn't even utter a complete sentence.

Compared with the people present, although their Lu family is not a famous family, they have been well-known in Liaoan Province for many years.

If Emperor Li really wanted to kill all nine of his clans, he would have to kill at least a thousand people.

Then he is the complete sinner of the Lu family.

"Don't be afraid, Master Lu." Lin Tian looked at Lu Jianyan with a wicked smile: "Just bear with it and it will pass."

"I am still useful. I am willing to pledge my loyalty to Your Majesty and surrender the remaining eight cities of Liaoan Province to you."

"Oh? You are quite capable, aren't you?" Lin Tian sneered.

But I was really thinking about this matter seriously in my heart.

The most important thing now is not a small character like Lu Jianyan, but the King of Pingdong on the front line.

If the situation in Liaoan Province can be pacified without bloodshed, it will save me a lot of trouble.

As for these people, he can definitely settle the score with them later.

"His Majesty."

Li Zuo took out a folded piece of white silk from his arms and handed it to Lin Tian.

Although the white silk was not opened, Lin Tian could already vaguely see some red marks.

"This is a blood letter sent to this old minister by the governor of the Eighth City."

Lin Tian took it, opened it and took a quick look.

Except for Longfeng County and the Anfeng City where it is located, the names of the prefects of all places in Liaoan Province are listed.

"These governors are all people I had some connections with when I was the governor of Liao'an Province. They are all loyal ministers of Daxia. When Tang Bo forced them to acknowledge him as governor, he asked me to make the decision."

"kindness."

Lin Tian nodded expressionlessly.

He didn't expect that the things he had been worried about were actually taken care of by this Li Zuo.

But Lin Tian was not particularly happy about this matter.

He now understood why the late emperor had removed Li from his position as the Left Governor.

He likes to be a bit clever.

Moreover, his influence in Liaoan Province is evident. When the prefects encountered such things, they did not send people to Shengjing to ask for instructions, but asked him first.

The most important point is that the Longfeng County Lin family is not mentioned in this blood letter.

Who was Li Zuo guarding against? It seemed self-evident.

"Your Majesty, the situation was unstable at the time. Furthermore, I learned from Duan Chengming that Your Majesty would first come to Liao'an Province. I was worried that this bloody letter would fall into the hands of the enemy, so I didn't send anyone to Shengjing for Your Majesty to review."

"Grandmaster Li has good intentions. I have a minister like you, and you are the most precious treasure left to me by the late emperor."

Lin Tian raised the corners of his mouth slightly and praised Li Zuo generously.

He must use this person now.

"Lu Jianyan, it seems like you are worthless again. I don't like useless people, and I dislike useless people who betray Daxia even more."

"Your Majesty, I... I'm still useful. I know Zhao has an undercover agent planted in Longfeng County, and they're planning something else. If Your Majesty will let me go, I'm willing to tell you everything."

Lu Jianyan placed his last bit of hope on this matter. He didn't believe that Emperor Li was not interested in this matter.
