At the Celestial Meeting on December 20th, Zhao Zhi issued an edict directly without any consultation with the courtiers. All the more than 70 officials implicated in Huang Zhuo's confession were dismissed from office, arrested, and handed over to the Ministry of Punishment and the Yushitai for interrogation. crime.

Zhao Zhi's arbitrary behavior immediately shocked the whole court. Liu Jie and his party tried their best to persuade and stop him, while many officials from Yang Daosi's party went out of their way to enumerate Huang's many crimes and urged Zhao Zhi to do so. There must be no appeasement, and we must get to the bottom of it. One person wants to prevent the incident from expanding, while the other is adding fuel to the flames, intending to take advantage of the opportunity to suppress hostile political forces.

Two political ministers, Zheng Renjie and Wang Renzhi, the right minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, came out to give advice, but Zhao Zhi pushed them back. They immediately announced the disbandment of the court, and the entire court meeting ended surprisingly quickly. However, with Xiao Zheng, the minister of political affairs, Xiao Zheng Yang Yu, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites, and several other high-ranking ministers were dismissed from office and arrested. The matter did not end with the end of the court meeting, but became more intense. Many ministers took this opportunity to fish in troubled waters and wrote to Zhao Zhi for various purposes. , impeach their respective political opponents.

Li Xun stayed at home for a few days, looking forward to it but also anxious.

Fan Zhongyun's uncle passed away and he returned to his hometown with his wife a few days ago. The battle in the court has become more and more intense. It has reached a critical moment. Even he is involved in it. Although the problem is not serious, he is obviously being watched by others. If he managed to escape this time, he might not be able to do it next time. For now, Li Xun only knows whether there is anyone else behind the scenes targeting him, besides Wing King Zhao He.

Fan Zhongyun left, and there was no one to discuss countermeasures with. Li Xun was very anxious, but luckily, before Fan Zhongyun left, he once told Li Xun that if the situation becomes more unfavorable, he can hand over the confession in his hand, but he must not personally Take action, Liu Jie, Li Yi, Yang Daosi, these three people can choose one of them. Only these few people have enough ability to shake the Wing King Zhao He.

Li Xun thought about it again and again, and finally decided to hand over the confession to his aunt Li Yi. After all, she was his biological aunt, and she would definitely not have any intention of harming him. Li Yi took the confession, asked about the cause and effect in detail, and scolded her. After giving Li Xun a lesson, he immediately asked Li Xun to go home and stay there. He was not allowed to go anywhere. As for the remaining matters, Li Yi would take measures on his own.

"Li Xun, I, Mao Anfu, am here. Come out and see me."

A loud voice interrupted Li Xun who was deep in thought. Li Xun quickly walked out of the study and walked outside to the courtyard, where Mao Anfu and Shan Qiu arrived.

"Brothers, long time no see."

Li Xun greeted him with a smile. In the past few days, staying at home and being strictly monitored by Li Mancang and not allowed to go out has been really boring. But although you can't go out, you can find people to come to your home for a drink. No, This morning, Li Xun sent someone to find Mao Anfu and asked him to come to his house for lunch.

Shanqiu pretended to be angry and said: "Li Xun, why did you only invite Mao Anfu but not me? Do you look down on me Shanqiu?"

Shan Qiu went to see Mao Anfu for a drink today, but he waited until Li Xun sent someone to invite Mao Anfu to his home for dinner and drinks. They were all acquaintances, and Shan Qiu had nothing to be ashamed of, so he followed Mao Anfu to Li Xun's place.

Li Xun stepped forward and hugged Shan Qiu, and said with a smile: "Brother Shan is such a person, how dare I, Li Xun, have the slightest contempt? I'm just afraid that your leg injury hasn't healed yet, so I don't dare to bother you running around."

"Some skin injuries are no longer serious."

Shan Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't drank for several days. I'm so greedy that I can't handle it. I must have a good drink today. Li Xun, do you have enough wine at home?"

Li Xun laughed and said, "Brother Shan, just open your mouth and drink. That's enough."

Mao Anfu watched the two people chatting and joking with a smile, and he was very happy in his heart. Shan Qiu was too stable, taciturn, and did not make friends easily, but as long as he got his friendship, he could be friends in life and death. In the past, Li Xun and Shan Qiu were Although Qiu is a good friend, he can only be regarded as an ordinary friend. After this Huang Chou incident, Li Xun helped him a lot and was finally banned at home. A friend in need is a friend indeed. Both Mao Anfu and Shan Qiu began to take Li Xun seriously. , and regarded him as a true friend.

Several people were drinking, and Li Xiao also came after hearing the news. After asking, he learned that Li Xiao went to Mao Anfu for a drink. I heard people said that he went to Li Xun's place, so he came uninvited. Li Xun I didn't dislike him, so I invited Li Xiao to join in. The four young people drank and chatted, and the atmosphere was very harmonious and lively.
