The messenger was a eunuch with a smile on his face:

"Doctor Li, the king said that there is something important to summon you to the palace."

Li Jian was a little surprised when he heard this oral order.

On the first day of taking office, normal people knew that they had to give some time to get familiar with government affairs, but King Zhao suddenly summoned Li Jian to the palace. Could it be that something happened?

Li Jian smiled and pulled the envoy aside, and quietly stuffed a small bag of silver into the eunuch's sleeve with his right hand.

"Li took the liberty to ask, how is the king's mood?"

The eunuch weighed the weight of the small bag, and immediately smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed, and said softly:

"The king is in a bad mood. I haven't laughed for a day today. Doctor Li, please be careful."

As for what was the purpose, the eunuch insisted that he didn't know, so Li Jian stopped asking and took a car into the palace.

After entering the palace, the first thing he did was not to find King Zhao, but to the Queen Mother's mourning hall.

At the entrance of the mourning hall, Li Jian met Lin Xiangru.

Lin Xiangru was obviously a little surprised:

"Didn't you perform your duties today? Why are you here?"

Lin Xiangru also came to burn incense. As the Shangqing of Zhao State, burning incense every day is a necessary part.

As for why Li Jian didn't need it, the answer is also very simple - the level is not enough.

Only ministers of Zhao State, above the ministers of the Qing Dynasty, can be qualified to go to the mourning hall to burn incense every day.

Burning incense is not something you want to, you can just go there.

After learning that Li Jian entered the palace under the will of King Zhao, Lin Xiangru's face became even more surprised.

After pondering for a while, Lin Xiangru whispered to Li Jian: "Be careful."

Li Jian nodded, left the mourning hall after celebrating the incense and came to the King of Zhao's bedroom not far away.

As soon as he walked into the main hall of the bedroom, Li Jian frowned slightly.

There was a clear smell of wine in the air.

Not only that, the taste of some fish and meat is still left, which shows that King Zhao had just drunk and ate meat in this bedroom and enjoyed a sumptuous banquet.

If it is normal, there is naturally nothing wrong with this matter, but the problem is that it is now during mourning.

The Book of Rites clearly states:

"When my parents died, I did not eat vegetables and fruits; when I was having fun, I ate porridge, and I blew rice overflowed in the morning and rice overflowed in the evening."

And "Do not drink alcohol and eat meat on the day of walking."

The Empress Dowager has not yet surpassed the seventh day of the seventh year. As a son, King Zhao even drinks and eats meat...

Li Jian calmly saluted to the sitting King Zhao:

"I have met the king."

King Zhao seemed to have eaten too much, and he burped loudly when he opened his mouth.

The smell of wine in the air has increased a lot.

If it was in the previous life, Li Jian, who had some loyal minister plot, would definitely speak out and dissuade him.

Now Li Jian's expression is calm, his eyes are visible to his nose and nose, and he seems to have seen nothing or smelled nothing.

King Zhao smiled and said:

"Li Jian, I came to you today mainly for one thing."

Li Jiandao:

"Please give me the order, and I will do my best to do my best."

King Zhao nodded and said with satisfaction:

"It's worthy of being promoted by me. Lou Chang, you should learn more from Li Jian in the future. Do you understand?"

Lou Chang, who was standing next to King Zhao, had a strange expression when he heard this, but he could only respectfully answer.

King Zhao looked at Li Jian and said with a smile:

"Li Jian, in the bedroom of my mother, how did Zhao Ding assassinate my mother? You tell me in detail the whole story of the matter."

After King Zhao finished speaking, Li Jian's heart suddenly became tight.

Sure enough, there was no good thing about this sudden summoning on the first day of taking office.

That night, Li Jian personally exposed the truth that King Zhao was the messenger behind the poisoning case in front of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor!

Li Jian spoke calmly and said:

"Reply to the king's words, Tianchen escorted the king away. When he was halfway through, he met the eunuch Ling Guoxian. He said that the empress dowager was still in the bedroom..."

Li Jian said what happened that day in this way.

King Zhao listened to Li Jian's words very carefully, and then questioned all the details several times.

Li Jian answered calmly.

King Zhao pondered for a while and said:

"So after killing Zhao Ding, I showed up with Zhu Qing?"

Li Jian nodded and said:

"That's true. Zhao Ding died for only about a quarter of an hour, and the king brought the ministers with him."

One quarter of an hour, that is, fifteen minutes.

King Zhao asked:

"What happened in this quarter of an hour?"

Li Jiandao:

"When the king said, in this quarter of an hour, because I was worried about another assassin, the minister and the eunuch ordered the two to guard the Empress Dowager and did not dare to leave at all."

King Zhao frowned and said:

"Didn't the queen ask you anything?"

Li Jiandao:

"The Empress Dowager was already extremely ill at that time and didn't say anything to me."

King Zhao remained silent.

At this moment, Lou Chang, who was beside him, suddenly chuckled and said:

"Doctor Li, what you said is really suspicious."

Li Jian looked up in surprise and looked at Lou Chang:

"Lou Chang, you are just a mere governor. You dare to speak out loud when your official and the king are competing with each other?"

"You are so disrespectful to elders. Have you learned the etiquette that your parents teach you? You can't do it in your dog's belly!"

Lou Chang's expression stagnated and his face turned red.

After a few seconds, Lou Chang said angrily:
Chapter completed!
