"Your Majesty, although the news came from our Inspectorate, it was not my instigation."

Li Xun saw something was wrong and quickly stood up and explained loudly.

The whole thing was caused by this kid. Seeing Li Xun now, Zhao Zhi felt a toothache and said angrily: "Let me explain clearly, don't be confused. Since the news came from your inspectorate, it was not your instigation."

Who else could it be?"

Li Xun shouted that he was wronged: "Your Majesty, you are wronged! I kept it secret about the Baihuayuan incident for fear that it would run away. How could I tell it? Wouldn't it be asking for trouble? This morning, Weichen saw the matter spread and asked around.

Only then did I know that the soldiers of the Inspectorate were patrolling normally today, and some people talked about what happened last night, and then word spread. This was an oversight on the part of the minister, but it was definitely not intentional on the part of the minister! Your Majesty, please be clear."

Looking at Li Xun's aggrieved face, Zhao Zhi felt awkward and waved his hand: "Whether it was intentional or intentional, as the commander of the Procuratorate, this is your responsibility. I will punish you for one year."

My salary is so high, I won’t be lenient if I act so recklessly next time.”

The chronicler on the side recorded the matter and later passed it on to the officials to form the exact order. Li Xun's salary for this year was gone.

"I obey the order!"

Li Xun gave a wry smile and stepped back. As he walked towards his seat, several officials looked at Li Xun angrily, took two steps forward, and occupied the empty space, not giving Li Xun any room to stand, deliberately making him look embarrassed.

.

So many people were arrested in Baihuayuan last night, including their relatives, friends and colleagues. How could we not hate Li Xun?

Li Xun frowned, and his heart suddenly became angry. Just as he was about to explode, Ma Wu, the right servant of the Ministry of War, stretched out his hand and pulled Li Xun to his side, thus relieving the situation.

"Boy, you are quite brave! Do you dare to poke such a big hornet's nest?"

Ma Wu bumped Li Xun's shoulder and joked in a low voice.

Li Xun hehe said: "A hornet's nest is a harmful thing, someone has to poke it, right?"

Ma Wu held out his thumb and said with admiration: "You are a smart boy. There are not many people in this court who are as stupid as you."

Li Xun smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, are you praising me, or are you hurting me?"

Ma Wu laughed strangely, patted Li Xun on the shoulder, and whispered: "Since you call me big brother, big brother will tell you the truth. The water in the imperial court is very deep. You are still young. If you jump

If you go in, you won't even get a bubble. Don't talk nonsense and express your opinions. Just hide in the back and listen."

Li Xun nodded gratefully, feeling a little moved in his heart. This person was a stranger to him and had nothing to do with him. It was already very difficult to talk to him in such a way. It was obvious that he was also a person of good temperament.

"Master Ma, please don't mess with the rules by muttering about the affairs of the court."

An official in front turned around and said dissatisfied.

Ma Wu rolled his eyes, snorted, and muttered in a low voice: "What I say is none of your business?"

"Incomprehensible."

The official's face turned red with anger, and he was making a fool of himself.

Li Xun glanced at Ma Wu in surprise. It could be seen from his court uniform that this person was of very high rank and yet had such a straightforward personality, which was indeed rare.

After a small episode on Li Xun's side, the debate at the court meeting continued.

"Your Majesty, there must be someone behind the incident in Baihuayuan, and their intentions are really sinister and we must not ignore it."

Qiu Yan looked around and talked to him, intending to change the topic.

After Qiu Yan finished speaking, You Mingyuan and others were about to echo her words.

An Jian immediately spoke up: "Master Qiu, don't change the subject. No matter who spreads the news about Baihuayuan, the crime he committed is true. Now we should discuss how to interrogate this case. Other topics are temporarily

No need to talk, don’t waste time.”

"What Mr. An said is reasonable. I agree with Mr. You's suggestion to form three divisions from Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai to try the case. To restore justice and innocence to the world, the people's hearts have been calmed down."

Liu Chongji agreed with An Jian and did not give Qiu Yan any opportunity to take advantage of him.

Sure enough, as the two of them finished speaking, Qiu Yan was about to continue speaking, but Zhao Zhi raised his hand to signal him to stop talking. Seeing this, Qiu Yan's face suddenly turned ugly.

Zhao Zhi did not ask Yang Daosi's opinion first this time. Instead, he looked at Liu Jie and said softly: "Liu Aiqing, what is your opinion on this matter?"

Liu Jie opened his eyes, stood up, bowed to Zhao Zhi, and said softly: "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the matter of Baihuayuan is better left to the Jingzhao Mansion for investigation, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai Ke

Send someone on the side to assist in the interrogation. If the Jingzhao Mansion cannot handle the case well, it will not be too late to form three divisions based on Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai."

Zhao Zhi nodded and made no immediate statement.

Liu Jie glanced at Wang Renzhi, who immediately understood. He stood up and bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the court still has too many things to deal with. There is no need to spend too much energy on the Baihuayuan matter."

Zhao Zhi said quietly: "What do Wang Aiqing say?"

Wang Renzhi glanced at Yang Daosi and said with a smile: "Let's not mention other things for the time being. After Hong Zhi, the Minister of Rites, took office, the political hall lost a prime minister, which has affected the decision-making of political affairs. I suggest that a minister be replaced as soon as possible.

Enter the political hall, make up for the deficiencies, and the political hall can resume normal operations."

After hearing Wang Renzhi's words, He Zhongkai and Yue Jiming suddenly looked sad. They wanted to retaliate, but when they saw that Yang Daosi always closed his eyes and said nothing, they could only hold back this tone.

Zhao Zhi then looked at Yang Daosi and said softly: "Yang Xiangguo, what do you think?"

Yang Daosi slowly opened his eyes and did not stand up to salute. This was the privilege given to him by Zhao Zhi, or out of respect. He just sat there and said softly: "Your Majesty makes decisions in the world and has his own sage opinions. Who can do it?"

When you enter the political hall, your majesty can make a decision with one word, and the veteran has no objections."

Zhao Zhi finally had a smile on his plain face, nodded, and made the final decision: "According to Wang Aiqing's words, the matter of Baihuayuan will be temporarily handed over to the Jingzhao Mansion for interrogation, Dali Temple, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Yushitai

Someone can be sent to help handle the case."

Having said this, Zhao Zhi looked at Qin Anming, who had always kept a low profile. The latter also noticed Zhao Zhi's gaze and suddenly became excited.

"Qin Anming."

Qin Anming suppressed his excitement, stood up quickly, and bowed deeply: "I am here."

"I will give you the third rank of Tong Zhongshu, with the title of participating in political affairs, to join the political affairs hall, and participate in state affairs. I hope you will be diligent in political affairs and resolve my concerns."

"I will abide by the holy will and govern with caution. I dare not forget your Majesty's instructions. Long live my emperor."

Qin Anming expressed his position loudly, then knelt down on the ground and kowtowed heavily several times. At the same time, after the excitement in his heart, he also felt a little disappointed. Although he entered the political affairs hall, his official position was still to be the counselor of political affairs.
