Zhao Ning knew why those officials were eager to see him. They simply came to put pressure on him and stop Xinxue because they had reached an unprecedented and rapid agreement on the Luoyang case and had an impeccable excuse.

Their bad habit of teaching people how to behave is always not on the right path.

The reason why Zhao Ning disappeared was because he felt that not enough people came.

More than a hundred?

not enough!

And the time is not yet ripe.

Not long after, Qin Hui arrived at Wende Hall.

In such a stormy time, Qin Hui knew the reason why Zhao Guanjia announced that he went to Wende Hall.

Qin Hui took a few deep breaths. The more chaotic the situation, the more opportunities he had.

Whether you can enter the center depends on this.

He walked into the Hall of Wende and said, "I see your Majesty."

"Has there been any results for the students from Songyang Academy who assassinated you before?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I have it."

Qin Hui submitted the first report.

"The reason for assassinating the minister is because Songyang Academy has been spreading opinions against the New Deal in the past six months. These people believe that the minister is an important member of the New Deal and that he deliberately killed the elders they respected, so they want to assassinate the minister."

Zhao Ning read it quickly and found that the confession was indeed as Qin Hui said.

Zhao Ning couldn't help but smile.

The value of this confession was so great that some opponents even assassinated the imperial minister in order to oppose it.

When you cannot defeat the opponent on a moral level, present actual evidence.

"That Hu Weizhi, the Imperial City Division handed him over to you a few days ago. How was the interrogation?"

"The process has all been completed."

Qin Hui handed over the second report. Zhao Ning nodded after reading it, expressing satisfaction.

The irrefutable evidence that Wang Shoude incited students from Songyang Academy to assassinate the Minister of Rites is also here.

"What about Kong Fan's stay at Songyang Academy?"

Qin Hui took out the third report and submitted it: "I have sent people to investigate. During the period when Kong Fan was lecturing at Songyang Academy, he encouraged students to go to Luoyang to cause trouble. Half of the Luoyang case was caused by Kong Fan's instigation."

When Zhao Ning read the third report, he couldn't help but smile.

Zhao Ning pretended to be confused and asked: "Do you mean that this matter was instigated by the Kong family and Wang Shoude?"

"Wang Shoude first ordered Hu Weizhi to assassinate Li Ruoshui, the Minister of Rites, and then asked Kong Fan to go to Songyang Academy to give lectures, and asked Kong Fan to instigate the Confucian students of Songyang Academy to create trouble on the first day of September and block the Luojing University exams."

"What is his purpose?"

"The purpose is to oppose the new learning."

"Why does Wang Shoude oppose the new learning?"

Qin Hui said: "Wang Shoude's reason for opposing the new learning was to have the imperial court remove the Minister of Rites. He wanted to ascend to the throne."

Even Wang Shoude didn't know that he had such a purpose, but who gave Qin Hui the full authority to investigate the case?

Who told him to send someone to assassinate the Minister of Rites?

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "Is there anyone else involved behind the scenes?"

Qin Hui continued: "The person who recommended Wang Shoude to be the Minister of Rites was Li Chunyou."

"You mean, Li Chunyou was behind this?"

"I am just guessing, but since Li Chunyou recommended him, the suspicion is very high. Even if no evidence can be found, Li Chunyou should bear the responsibility."

From the end of the first year of Jingkang, when Zhao Ning just traveled through time, to the fifth year of Jingkang, it can be said that Zhao Ning witnessed a person's drastic change.

He saw with his own eyes how Qin Hui changed from a passionate official in the officialdom to a sophisticated and ruthless official.

Qin Hui, who was in the first year of Jingkang, would never be able to say what he just said.

However, Qin Hui now has a calm tone and a calm demeanor, as if everything has been rehearsed in his mind countless times.

Zhao Ning nodded and said, "Then how do you think we should handle this matter?"

"The people involved should be dealt with severely. The methods used are so bad and appalling! As for those who support Wang Shoude and Li Chunyou, they are all regarded as accomplices."

Zhao Ning said nothing.

This simple dialogue between the monarch and his ministers was actually a rehearsal.

It means that I will talk to you first, and then you, Qin Hui, will be smarter.

Qin Hui hesitated for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I don't know whether to say or not?"

"It doesn't matter if you say so."

Qin Hui said: "Wang Shoude recommended the prince to participate in politics."

As soon as Qin Hui said these words, Zhao Guanjia's sharp eyes slowly moved towards him.

Qin Hui quickly avoided Zhao Guanjia's gaze, lowered his head, and expressed his heart.

"Go on."

Qin Hui hesitated for a moment, and cold sweat began to form on his palms.

He said: "There is irrefutable evidence that Wang Shoude resisted the New Deal. The Luoyang case was very involved, and he recommended the prince to participate in politics. The prince..."

Zhao Guanjia interrupted him and asked: "Are you saying that the prince is related to the Luoyang case?"

Qin Hui was sweating heavily behind his back.

He didn't know the true attitude of Zhao Guan's family towards the prince.

But what he said now was undoubtedly directed at the prince.

The ministers who participate in the struggle for the crown prince will either become prosperous in the future, one person inferior to ten thousand people, or they will die miserably.

Qin Hui was originally planning to become a princeling, but unfortunately he killed Wang Shoude in the process. The prince followed Wang Shoude's trick and abandoned Qin Hui.

Qin Hui, whose ambitions continued to grow, had no choice but to find someone else.

Qin Hui felt the coldness in Zhao Guanjia's eyes, and he said: "Whether the prince is involved or not, we just need to see if the prince will intercede for Wang Shoude."

What he said was clever. He did not make subjective assumptions, but only made objective analysis, thus avoiding the suspicion of participating in the internal struggle of the royal family.

"you're right."

Hearing what Zhao Guanjia said, Qin Hui breathed a sigh of relief.

On the sixth day of September, after a day and night of fermentation, many officials in Tokyo were already in a violent state.

They decided to unite more people to ask for a meeting with Zhao Guan's family, forcing Zhao Guan's family to immediately stop Xinxue and stabilize Luo Jing to avoid further expanding the problem.

In this short day, Li Chunyou and Wang Shoude became the objects of praise from many officials.

Their reputation reached its peak for a while, and some people even recommended them to join the central hall and serve as prime ministers.

Conservatives see the situation as promising.

When the news of Zhang Shuye's quelling the chaos in Luoyang and killing many people reached Tokyo on the afternoon of the sixth day of September, it was like another meteorite falling on the already rough lake, creating thousands of huge waves.

Countless memorials were sent to the palace like snowflakes.

From the three provinces, six ministries and twenty-four divisions, to the Yushitai, Jianyuan, and then to Kaifeng Mansion, the officials were all terrified.

In this situation where the conservatives hold great righteousness, the current situation in Luoyang is obviously crushing the New Dealers from a moral perspective.

For a time, people in the government and the public in Tokyo were panicked, and it even affected the University of Tokyo.

The incident is still spreading further, from Luoyang in Xijing to Bianliang in Tokyo, from Beijing North Road to Gyeonggi Road, conservative officials in various states have taken action after hearing the news.

It was not until the evening of the sixth day of September that officials received the notice from the morning of the next day.

Countless people immediately went back and began to prepare overnight. They all believed that tomorrow's morning meeting would definitely be a life-or-death battle between the new sect and the old sect.
