"I obey the order!" Han Yunzhi respectfully took the order and left. The Guanglu official Fan Qing and the Secretary of the Secretary of the State Councilor Chen Rui also bowed down.
When the Political Consultation Hall became empty again, Xiao Heng's face still did not improve. Seeing this, the eunuch Chen Rong, in charge, hurriedly ordered the palace maid to bring the ginseng tea that had been prepared in front of Xiao Heng, and whispered: "Your Majesty, I'm still alive. What’s important, since the matter of the Secretariat has been resolved for the time being, the emperor will take a break!”
Xiao Heng took the steaming ginseng tea, took a sip, shook his head and sighed: "How can this matter be solved easily?"
The eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, saw the emperor's expression a little desolate, and advised: "The emperor has several wise ministers to help him. A mere Secretariat is not worth the emperor's worries..."
"I valued Lu Ziliang at that time. It was because he did not rely on the aristocratic officials that he still disappointed me!" Xiao Heng said this and smiled self-deprecatingly.
He was originally worried that the power of several major gentry clans including the Li family of Zhao County, Langya Wang family of Chen County, Xie family, etc., was too great, so he promoted Lu Ziliang and other officials who had no background in the gentry. Unexpectedly, he calculated it but missed Lu Ziliang. Ambition and greed!
Since Concubine Duan gave birth to the fifth prince, Lu Ziliang has become even more arrogant and even lobbies for officials everywhere, just to make the fifth prince the crown prince!
It is precisely this reason why he has been slow to establish a prince... He has always kept in mind the historical lessons of the previous dynasty that he must not let his relatives be dictatorial. Lu Ziliang wants to support the fifth prince as the prince, isn't it just to make the Lu family's power grow all the way?!
Thinking of this, Xiao Heng raised a cold smile on the corner of his lips, which made Chen Rong, the eunuch on the side look at it, and he was also a little chilling!
He has been following the emperor and is well aware that the emperor has made up his mind to deal with whom he has given such a smile!
Whether it was Concubine Luo back then or Empress Li later, they were all eliminated shortly after the emperor showed such a sneer?!
"Emperor, although Lu Ziliang did a lot of wrong things, Concubine Duan gave birth to the imperial heir..." Chen Rong finally spoke out, now the emperor has few descendants, and there are very few princes with noble mother status. The concubine finally gave birth to a fifth prince for the emperor. If the emperor wanted to move the Lu family, she would inevitably take her anger on Concubine Duan and the fifth prince!
"Chen Rong, are you pleading for Concubine Duan?" Before the eunuch in charge Chen Rong finished speaking, Xiao Heng spoke slowly and stared at him thoughtfully.
Although Chen Rong could not see the emperor's thoughts from the emperor's expression, he was still sweating profusely when he was staring at him like this.
"I dare not, I am just thinking about the emperor's heir..." Chen Rong hurriedly lowered his head and replied with a wry smile.
"Is the emperor..." Xiao Heng snorted coldly without comment. Seeing Chen Rong's nervous look, he said with a smile: "Forget it, you have been with me for so long, of course I believe you!"
When Xiao Heng said this, his words changed and his voice became cold: "But there are many spies buried beside me, in my harem!"
Chen Rong was shocked, remembering the previous emperor's assassination of the Luoyang King, and ordered him and Deng Xian, the Shizhong, to investigate the affairs of everyone in the palace together. He hurriedly bowed and replied meticulously: "Emperor, slave and Shizhong." The lord has found some of his faults, but he has not found who leaked the news yet..." "I obey the order!" Han Yunzhi respectfully took the order, and the Guanglu Grand Doctor Fan Qing and Ling Chen Rui also bowed down.

The adults have found some clues, but they have not found out who leaked the news yet..."
