Emperor Li promulgated an imperial edict in court to confiscate the entire family and exterminate the entire clan.
For a time, everyone in the morning was in panic, and many people felt extremely frightened.
After Eunuch Lu finished reading the imperial edict, Lu Zhiyue couldn't wait to walk out of the queue.
"Your Majesty, I have my heart to tell you!"
Emperor Li, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked down at him with a calm expression.
"explain!"
Lu Zhiyue wiped the cold sweat from his head and said: "I have been slacking in my cultivation recently, or it may be an innate opportunity. I am eager to fight, and I don't want to miss such an opportunity. I want to practice hard in seclusion in order to achieve the innate state as soon as possible.
.”
"However, my desire to pursue military ambitions is my selfish ambition. I have an important position, but because of my selfishness, I neglected public service and failed to live up to His Majesty's expectations. I should be punished by Your Majesty."
"I want to resign as the right commander of the Central Army. Please forgive me!"
Hearing this, Emperor Li's face showed an imperceptible smile.
Please resign!
Just now he thought that Lu Zhiyue was blind and wanted to plead for Duke Cheng Guo, but he didn't expect that he actually wanted to resign.
"That's good, the innate warrior is Dali's pillar. If you can break through to the innate realm, it will be Dali's blessing."
"You can't delay your cultivation, so I will accept your resignation. As for the punishment, please forgive me!"
Lihuang Road.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lu Zhiyue bowed and said.
"The Duke of Jingguo has performed his duties loyally and deserves a reward!"
"I will reward you with three Qingxin Pills, ten Yuan Yuan Pills, and an innate weapon."
"After the court, Duke Jingguo can go to the treasurer to receive the reward!"
Emperor Li said again.
"I thank your Majesty for the gift!" Lu Zhiyue's eyes lit up and he knelt down and said.
The gifts given by Emperor Li are naturally not ordinary things.
Qingxin Dan is a commonly used elixir among innate warriors. It helps to polish the state of mind and improve the understanding of artistic conception.
The Yuan Condensing Pill is a pill used by acquired warriors to break through to the innate realm. It can condense the true energy in the warrior's body and turn it into true essence, which can increase the chance of breaking through the innate realm.
If these two kinds of elixirs are superimposed, as long as Lu Zhiyue's cultivation level is not too high, he will definitely be able to break through the innate realm.
With the addition of an innate weapon, Emperor Li intended for Lu Zhiyue to achieve the innate realm.
This is the emperor's mentality. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who go against me will perish.
Lu Zhiyue's resignation at this time was undoubtedly in compliance with the Sacred Heart. Naturally, Emperor Li would not treat him badly and gave him a chance to achieve the innate realm.
At this time, Lu Zhiyue was extremely happy. Fortunately, he went to see Li Xun and followed Li Xun's advice. Otherwise, not only would he not get this opportunity, but he might even involve the entire Jingguo Palace.
When the other courtiers saw this, they all lowered their heads and frowned, not daring to say more.
At this moment, they still didn't understand Li Huang's thoughts.
They even suspected that Lu Zhiyue's operation was ordered by Emperor Li.
Hit a stick and give a sweet date.
The stick was struck on Duke Cheng, and the sweet dates were given to Duke Jing.
But in fact, all this is done for the Xungui Group to see.
"Is there anything else?" Emperor Li asked.
"I have a plan to report!"
Shi Lan Shangqi, the censor of Zuodu of the Inspectorate, walked out of the queue, bowed and said.
"What's the matter?"
Lan Shangqi said: "Your Majesty, the investigation of the corruption case in Jiangyuan, Dali Temple has been completed, and the facts of corruption and bribery have been established. The Ministry of Punishment has convicted him and confiscated his home and sent him into exile."
Emperor Li said calmly: "Have your house confiscated and be exiled with him!"
The corruption case in Dali Temple was reported by the Zhenwu Division, but Qin Wei forgot about it after the memorial was filed. Although Emperor Li ordered the Zhenwu Division to participate in the trial of the case, Qin Wei only sent a
The civil servants went there but did not participate in person.
The matter has been brought to the attention of Emperor Li. No matter how courageous the Ministry of Punishment and the Inspectorate are, they will not dare to fool Emperor Li.
So it doesn't matter whether Qin Weishen participates or not, Jiang Yuan is definitely doomed anyway.
The Inspectorate had already presented a memorial before, and the memorial in the morning was just to go through the process and inform the ministers.
…
Morning ends.
After the ministers left Shengtian Hall, they gathered in small groups and talked a lot.
The protagonists of their discussion were Zhenwu Division, Chengguo Palace, and Dali Temple!
"Even the Chengguo Duke's Mansion has fallen. This Zhenwu Division is really becoming more and more capable of causing trouble!"
"Who says it's not the case! The Zhenwu Division has only been established for a long time, and it has already caused so many things!"
"That means His Majesty protects the Zhenwu Division, otherwise the Zhenwu Division would not dare to be so arrogant!"
"Everyone, please be careful what you say! Don't get into trouble!"
Someone reminded him, and all the courtiers immediately closed their mouths and looked around cautiously.
Several cabinet ministers wearing red robes walked to the Wenhua Hall together.
The first assistant of the cabinet is Ji Yuanchen, the second assistant is Li Siyuan, the assistant ministers are Luo Zheng, Song Yuange, and Wang Lu.
These five are the highest court officials in Dali's civil service system.
Ji Yuanchen is seventy-two years old this year. Although his body is rickety and old, he is generally strong, and he is also a Confucian scholar.
As the first minister of Dali, Ji Yuanchen had a very high prestige in the court. Perhaps he was far inferior to the aloof Master Yanzhen, but all the civil servants in the court regarded him as a role model.
Not only that, Ji Yuanchen also had a high reputation among the Confucian scholars, and was called Mr. Xiyuan by the Confucian scholars!
Ji Yuanchen was very preoccupied at this time. Others may not know that the proposal to establish the Zhenwu Division was actually the one he first proposed to Emperor Li.
The reason why he proposed the Zhenwu Division in the first place was because the folk martial arts forces had begun to show signs of breaking away from the court's control. If they were not controlled, the folk martial arts forces would probably become a serious problem for the court in the future.
Therefore, he proposed to Emperor Li to establish a Zhenwu Division to intimidate martial arts forces in the world.
However, although the Zhenwu Division was now established as he wished, he suddenly felt an inexplicable panic because he found that the Zhenwu Division did not develop as he expected, but was developing in a direction he did not know.
According to his idea, the Zhenwu Division should mainly attack the Jianghu forces, but now although the Zhenwu Division is also attacking the Jianghu forces, in general it has been targeting the nobles in the court.
Ji Yuanchen didn't care about the nobles, he was just afraid that Zhenwu Si's fire would burn the civil servants.
In fact, it was already burned.
Dali Temple Qing Jiangyuan has been dragged into the water by the Zhenwu Division.
If the Zhenwu Division continues to mess around, will more civil servants be dragged into the water?
"Chief Assistant, would you like to say something to Prince Xin'an?" Wang Lu quickly came to Ji Yuanchen's side and asked in a low voice.
The cabinet is not monolithic, and Li Siyuan, the second assistant, is not a simple figure. Song Yuange, the assistant minister, is also a disciple of Yan Zhen. Although his qualifications are still relatively young, with Yan Zhen's support, his status in the cabinet
It's as stable as Mount Tai.
Wang Lu and Ji Yuanchen were from the same hometown, and they had always been close.
"What do you want to mention?" Ji Yuanchen asked with a slight frown.
"Tell Zhenwu Si to stop interfering in the court." Wang Lu said.
Ji Yuanchen shook his head slightly and said helplessly: "We can't say this, and even if we say it, it may not work."
The chief officer of Zhenwu Division is Qin Wei, and Qin Wei is the grandson of the current emperor.
Although he is the chief minister of the cabinet, if he goes to Qin Wei to sell face, Qin Wei may not pay attention to him.
At this time, Ji Yuanchen felt a little regretful. If he had known what happened, he should have let his subordinates take over Zhenwu Division.
Although the Zhenwu Division was originally established at his suggestion, he also felt that the Zhenwu Division was a big trouble at that time, so he did not let his own people take over the Zhenwu Division.
This made Emperor Li unable to get off the tiger, and allowed Prince Xin'an, who had just received the title of conferment, to take charge of the Zhenwu Division.
"Then just let it go like this?" Wang Lu said with some dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yuan's incident reminded him that today's Zhenwu Division is a hungry tiger that will bite anyone it catches.
He was also afraid that the Zhenwu Division would continue to fight in the court, and then they civil servants would not be able to withstand it.
Ji Yuanchen shook his head, "If you go to the Zhenwu Division, you might as well go to the Imperial College."
"Imperial Imperial College!" Wang Lu was slightly stunned.
"Yes, I heard that Fu Chengyi has a close relationship with Prince Xin'an. If he can say a few words, Prince Xin'an might be more restrained." Ji Yuanchen said in a low voice.
Wang Lu thought thoughtfully, "Then I'll go see Fu Chengyi."
Ji Yuanchen nodded calmly.
