"You only need to tell me which of the people in the court are from King Chen Li Dan, and which are from King Jing Li Ye."

Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "Take the six departments as an example. The Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Rites are from King Jing; the rest of the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Work are from King Chen."

"Dali Temple is the headquarters of Uncle Jing Wang. His mother's clan is General Ouyang's mansion, and he is in charge of 300,000 troops."

"The mother clan of King Chen Li Dan is from the Wushan tribe. He surrendered to the Southern Dynasty in his early years and looked after the border countries for us. He was well received by his father."

Zhang Xueyan smiled and said, "There really are king flags at each end. No wonder they are so arrogant. The distribution is really even."

"Before you entered the house, they had no time to pay attention to me. Now that I have married the prime minister's daughter, all signs are pointing at me. I wish I would be kicked out by my father tomorrow."

"It's okay." Zhang Xueyan bent down and patted his shoulder, "You can rest. I'll come see you tomorrow."

Li Xuan nodded and hummed slightly, very well-behaved.

…………

Zi Shi.

Zhang Xueyan was wearing a red dress and standing on the wall of Chen's mansion.

Quietly looking at the silent house below.

Let the strong wind blow her long hair and skirt.

A snowy and windy night is the best time to kill someone.

She waved her sleeves, and like a ghost, she landed in the courtyard of Chen Yuan, the Minister of Punishment.

Opening the door and walking in, there was a middle-aged man sleeping on the bed.

Covered with a thick quilt, head and neck exposed.

Zhang Xueyan did not hesitate. With a wave of his right hand, the crescent knife flew out instantly and circled around Chen Zhen's neck.

Soon a very thin thread of blood overflowed from the knife edge.

Zhang Xueyan raised her hand, and the meniscus knife crossed a semicircle in the air and fell accurately into her sleeve.

The whole process only takes one breath and one breath.

She put the knife back in her sleeve, threw something down, and jumped towards the roof in two steps.

Then the figure disappeared into the wind and snow.

She, Zhang Xueyan, is the leader of the demon sect who is feared by everyone in the world. To her, life is as light as a feather.

She has never been a kind person.

He has killed enough people to fill a room.

She can kill everyone, and everyone can kill her, it just depends on who is stronger.

…………

Li Xuan drank half the night, and when he woke up the next day, he was still groggy and very uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to get up, the door was suddenly opened with great force. He took a look and saw that it was his captain of the bodyguard, Peng Da.

"What's wrong?" he asked while pressing his head.

"Chen Yuan, the Minister of Punishment, died at home last night. There was a token from Prince Jing's Mansion next to his body."

"Now King Jing and King Chen have entered the palace. It seems there is a fierce battle."

"What?" Li Xuan hasn't reacted yet.

"You mean Chen Yuan is dead? King Jing sent someone to do it?"

Peng Da nodded, "That's what it means."

"Didn't King Chen just set up his household department? It should be revenge at this moment."

"You just let them fight like dogs and snipes and clams, and the fishermen benefit. Isn't that just right?"

Li Xuan hurriedly got up and dressed. It was just right, but now the positions of the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Justice were vacant. He must seize this opportunity and find ways to firmly hold these two positions in the palm of his hand.

"Go to Ji Mansion."

An hour later, Ji Lan and Li Xuan were summoned by the emperor into Chongming Hall.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, they saw Li Dan and Li Ye, one with a pale face and the other with a red face.

It seems that the two parties have already engaged in a war of words.

I just don't know how the battle is going.

When the two came in, the emperor asked Li Xuan to stand aside and asked Ji Lan, "What is Ji Lan's opinion on this matter?"
