In the first half of the court meeting, all the ministers were a little absent-minded when reporting on official business. They kept looking up at Zhao Jin who was standing next to the dragon chair.
The other party listened calmly to the officials' reports on government affairs, and then gave appropriate suggestions or orders one by one.
Not at all bothered by what happened yesterday.
It wasn't until the important government affairs were dealt with that Zhao Jin said calmly: "I know that all of you are thinking about what happened in Kunning Palace until yesterday."
The courtiers below who were listless and frequently distracted suddenly cheered up and stared at Zhao Jin closely.
"When I learned about this, I was both shocked and angry. I believe that the same was true for all the courtiers."
The courtier who just wanted to know what was going on: "..."
After a moment of silence, angry looks began to show on some people's faces.
It is impossible not to be angry, but more importantly, it is confusion.
Being able to pretend to be a queen in Kunning Palace for more than ten years without being discovered seems incredible.
"You adults should be very confused now." Zhao Jin revealed their mood in one sentence.
"When I was recognized back before, I went to Kunning Palace. After that, I would occasionally visit my mother and queen."
When he said the last two words, Zhao Jin twitched his lips, obviously not in a very happy mood.
He continued: "At that time, I discovered something was wrong, so I asked someone to check it out later. Just yesterday, I discovered a sneaky palace maid."
"Caught her and wanted to pass the news to the spies of Lilong Kingdom."
"Just in time, the information I investigated earlier turned out to be clear. After my mother became seriously ill more than ten years ago, her temperament changed drastically, and there were many things that were inconsistent with her."
"The palace maid Liuyue and the captured spies from the Lilong Kingdom all identified the queen. I couldn't believe it at the time."
Zhao Jin closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, the cold light inside was so sharp that people dared not look directly.
"I wonder if all of you, sir, still remember the former National Preceptor and Beili's remnant, Xu You?"
The courtiers looked at each other, wondering why Zhao Jin suddenly mentioned Xu You.
Regarding Xu You, Zhao Qian used Zhao Jin as an enemy. Although the officials did not know about it, he favored a remnant from Beili and even made sacrifices and ghosts.
This made Zhao Qian extremely embarrassed, and he never let anyone mention the matter.
Cen Qianyi thought for a moment and said, "Remember, I wonder if there is any connection between the two?"
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, is smart. The reason why Xu You's identity was not discovered by anyone in the first place is because he used a mask."
Zhao Jin raised his chin towards Shouquan, and the other party immediately understood and said loudly in a high voice: "Xuandong Palace Guard Chang Ning Qing comes to the throne!"
A young man walked in from outside with a steady and powerful step.@*~~
"I see you, Your Highness, the Crown Prince."
Before the ministers had time to be surprised that the chief guard of the East Palace was actually a young man, their attention was attracted by what he showed.
"The face used by the traitors who established the Long Kingdom was exactly this face."
Qing Yi took out a piece of dough and hung the thin dough on his index finger. He raised his arm to ensure that every minister could see it.
"The two are indeed related." Zhao Jin answered Cen Qianyi's words, and then his tone became serious, "This face is exactly the same as the one Xu You used before."
"The two of them must be cooperating."
The whole court was in an uproar!
No one expected that the people who founded the Long Kingdom not only sent people to infiltrate the Zhao Kingdom's palace more than ten years ago, but even cooperated with the remnants of Beili more than a year ago.
Thinking back to the invasion of Lilong State not long ago, the courtiers were furious!
The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment stood up with a stern face, "What Your Highness said, I can prove that everything is true. The traitors who established the Long Kingdom are currently being imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment."
"Liu Yue and others have all confessed, except for the thief who pretended to be the queen and has still not let go."
"But this matter is already a certainty, Your Highness! We must not make this matter trivial!"
Zhao Jin shook his robe and said with a cold expression, "It is impossible to make a big deal into a small matter. I have already sent people to Lilong Kingdom to ask for an explanation."
.
"Now let's see how the Li Long Kingdom reacts. I, the Zhao Kingdom, are not easy to bully!"
The prince was dressed in a four-clawed dragon robe and looked proud. Although the courtiers were angry, they could not help but feel surrendered to such Zhao Jin.
"Don't worry, gentlemen, Gu will definitely ask Li Long to give Zhao an explanation for this matter!"
"However," Zhao Jin's voice changed, "Li Long has been lurking for many years, and I am afraid that he has already set his sights on Zhao. I don't know how many hidden plots have been laid. I need your help in this matter."
"We must pull out all the hidden nails as soon as possible!"
These people don't know where they are lurking, and they are a hidden danger if they stay for more than one day.
No one knows the role that spies can play in a war better than Zhao Jin.
The modern battlefield is not only a battle between weapons and soldiers, but also a battle of information.
Although civil and military officials usually fight fiercely internally, and many even put their own interests first, most people will choose to act in unison when facing external enemies.
Regardless of whether you have other small thoughts in your heart, you must all face the outside world at this time.
Zhao Jin let out a sigh of relief, his goal was achieved.
After coming to court, Zhao Jin first handled some of the more urgent matters at the Ministry of War, and then brought the rest back to the East Palace.
Zhao Qian was seriously ill, and all the government affairs that Zhao Qian had to deal with were piled on his desk.
Even though he left most of the affairs of the Ministry of War in the hands of the two ministers, there were some matters that could only be decided by the Minister of War.
Zhao Jin had no choice but to deal with all the more urgent matters on both sides every day, and then start dealing with the others.
From the time he started reviewing the excerpts, Zhao Jin's brows had hardly relaxed.
These excerpts are very verbose and long-winded for most of the article, and then we get down to the real business, which also takes a big detour.
Some of the secrets are just trivial things, but they still have to be presented.
Zhao Jin let go of the brush and rubbed his sore arm. These were all the shortcomings left by Zhao Qian. _o_m
Zhao Qian had great power and had to report everything to his subordinates. Over time, the officials below him did not dare to make decisions on even small matters. Zhao Qian had to make the decision before letting them do it.
The decision-making body has formed a decoration, and he has to personally handle all matters big and small, give methods, and then implement them.
Zhao Jin said "tsk", and after he dealt with the current mess, he had to put the court in order.
He didn't want to be like the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who dealt with government affairs day and night and barely slept for a few hours a day.
"Your Highness." A young eunuch walked in with his head lowered, "The Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Forest Army would like to see you."
