Years pass by and seasons pass by. Two days pass by without you realizing it.
The aftermath of the disturbance caused by the supervisors at the Anshun Gate is still fermenting rapidly, spreading throughout the entire Shenjing City.
Jinyi Mansion, in the official hall——
It is midsummer, the heat is permeating the air, and the cicadas are chirping more and more loudly, making the summer even more peaceful.
In the back office, Qu Lang was wearing a well-tailored flying fish suit with a rhinoceros horn jade belt around his waist. He had a resolute face and was sitting behind a lacquered wooden table.
Qu Lang suddenly raised his eyes, stared at Liu Jixian who was sitting not far away, put down a brush in his hand, and asked: "Have all the prison guards confessed?"
"A supervisor has already confessed, and behind the scenes are Hanlin Academy scholar Lu Li and cabinet ministers. The two of them secretly spread rumors and caused trouble." Liu Jixian said with a solemn expression.
Qu Lang nodded and said: "Collect the confessions of the relevant supervisors into a book and deliver it to the capital. I will not ask about the rest for the time being."
Liu Jixian cupped his hands and responded: "I will send someone to deliver the relevant confessions to King Wei's residence."
Qu Lang said coldly: "In addition, send people to follow the clues and make this matter a solid case!"
Liu Jixian said solemnly: "Commander, please rest assured that I will definitely send someone to handle this matter properly."
Qu Lang picked up the tea cup, took a sip, and immediately asked: "The supervisors have asked about it, should they put it back?"
Liu Jixian looked solemn, raised his hands and said, "Return to the command, the man has been released."
"In recent days, we have asked people to monitor the public opinion in Shenjing City. We must not let those supervisors ruin the reputation of the prince." Qu Lang looked solemn and said.
Liu Jixian raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he raised his hands in agreement.
When Liu Jixian left, a faint look suddenly appeared on Qu Lang's face.
Now that the prince is in a high position, if he does not advance, he will be liquidated by his young master and civil servants in the future. However, it has been more than a hundred years since the founding of the dynasty, and his kindness has spread all over the world. People with lofty ideals are hiding in the court and outside. If you want to go further, it will be difficult to reach the sky.

Ningguo Mansion, in the study room——
On Chen Xiao's side, he sat behind a maroon lacquered wood desk covered with a mattress. He raised his emerald curved eyebrows, stared at the young man in python suit, and asked, "Jinyi Mansion just sent someone to deliver something."
information?"
Jia Heng stepped into the wing, looked at Chen Xiao, and said, "How do you say that?"
Chen Xiaodao: "Liu Jixian said that the files have been put together."
Jia Heng came forward, sat down, and asked: "In the past few days, what is the public opinion in the capital regarding the siege of Anshun Gate the day before yesterday?"
Chen Xiaocuili raised her slender eyebrows, looked at Jia Heng with clear eyes, and said: "There is some public opinion in Beijing, saying that you are arrogant and domineering, causing trouble for the government, and suppressing scholars, but there are also other voices of support.
I thought you acted resolutely and dealt decisively, thus avoiding a turmoil that would shake the security of the country."
Jia Heng stared at Chen Xiao and said coldly: "They have no choice but to secretly slander him with rumors."
Chen Xiao nodded, looked at Jia Heng, and said, "What will you do next?"
Jia Heng thought for a moment and said coldly: "I will go to the cabinet in a moment and report the matter to the cabinet ministers. It is time to send Lu Jiang out of the cabinet."
Chen Xiao hesitated for a moment, reminded him, and asked, "Will Li and Gao be dissatisfied because of this?"
Jia Heng made a cold sound and said: "When a dispute causes such a big disaster, someone must take responsibility for it. Even if Li and Gao are dissatisfied, they can only let others take the blame."
Chen Xiao frowned, his eyes flickered, and he whispered: "That's the truth."
While Jia Heng was talking, he didn't do much else, left the study and headed outside.
When he came to the outer room, he asked the servant to go to the official office of Jinyi Mansion and call Liu Jixian.
Then, he walked quickly towards Miyagi.
…

Palace Garden, Wuying Hall
It was almost noon, and the cicadas could be heard chirping non-stop from a leafy sycamore tree in front of the temple, which undoubtedly made people feel a little more irritable throughout the hot summer.
In the hall, Li Zan, the chief minister of the cabinet, sat on a huanghuali wood chair, with a memorial in his hand. There was endless worry on his resolute and majestic face.
And sitting on a red lacquered pear wood chair, Gao Zhongping had a calm demeanor, and a look of deep thought appeared on his majestic and resolute face.
Lu Jiang sat down behind a lacquered wooden table, with a solemn look on his old face.
During this period, as time passed slowly, the wind direction in Beijing began to become more and more weird at this moment.
It also made Lu Jiang's heart become more and more unstable, or in other words, a fear like a reminder of death enveloped her.
Just when the atmosphere in the cabinet was quite strange, a clerk who looked like a secretary in the cabinet quickly entered the palace, saluted Li Zan, and said: "Mr. Ge, King Wei is here."
Hearing this, Li Zan turned his eyes and glanced at Gao Zhongping. His old eyes flickered darkly for a few times, and he felt a surge of worry in his heart.
King Wei is here to ask questions.
After a while, I saw the young man in python clothes walking towards him quickly, followed by several palace guards in brocade clothes. His calm and majestic face was full of coldness.
Behind him, the imperial guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives at their waists looked like tigers and tigers with awe-inspiring momentum as they walked.
While Li Zan was speaking, he stood up quickly. With a bit of surprise in his eyes, he said warmly: "King Wei."
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, looked at Li Zan with bright eyes, and said warmly: "Mr. Li Ge, has the cabinet received the document sent from Jinyi Mansion?"
Li Zan's eyes flickered for a moment, his face looked a little surprised, and he said in a deep voice: "King Wei, what's the writing?"
Jia Heng motioned to Liu Jixian who was standing aside to hurry over.
Liu Jixian's rugged face with thick beards had a dull look on his face, and he said in a deep voice: "After investigation, it was found that the supervisors gathered at Anshun Gate to cause trouble the day before yesterday. It turned out that Lu Li, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and Lu Jiang, a cabinet minister, secretly stirred up trouble.
, this is the relevant file detailing their culpability.”
Of course, those rumors were not mentioned, and they were obviously included in them. This is true and false, false and true.
"You are spitting blood!" Lu Jiang stood up suddenly, with a cold look on his extremely fair face. Under his two thick eyebrows, his eyes flashed aggressively. He immediately got up from the side, looked at the young man in python suit, and shouted sternly.
scolded.
Jia Heng raised his sword eyebrows, looked at Lu Jiang coldly, and shouted: "Come here, take this beast down quickly!"
Following Jia Heng's order, the Jinyi Mansion guards behind him responded and swarmed up like wolves and tigers, quickly arriving behind Lu Jiang.
He immediately held down Lu Jiang's arm to stop him from moving.
When Li Zan saw this scene, his brows furrowed, his eyes dimmed, and his expression suddenly changed a bit.
In the main hall of Wuying Hall, a cabinet minister was captured by the guards of Jinyi Palace. This is indeed something that has never happened since the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"The cabinet minister is the assistant prime minister, how can he be dragged out by the guards of Jinyi Mansion?" Gao Zhongping frowned and said loudly.
Apparently he also thought that this move had greatly insulted the dignity of the cabinet minister.
Jia Heng said coldly: "Then take it out!"
Gao Zhongping: "..."
At this moment, Lu Jiang was controlled by the guards of Jinyi Mansion. She was very worried and struggled violently. She shouted: "King Wei, I am a minister of the cabinet. You have no imperial decree and you have the authority to send people to arrest me? King Wei, you are like this."
You are so arrogant and domineering, how can you put my great Han law in your eyes?"
Jia Heng's face was as cold as frost, and he drank deeply and said: "I am a minister who cares about life, and you are a minister in the cabinet, but you collude with the supervisors, gather together to make trouble, slander the Holy Gong, ruin the reputation of the clan, and disrupt the country. It is really true.
What a heinous crime! Someone comes and takes it down!"
Gao Zhongping frowned, but there was a look of displeasure in his eyes, and said: "King Wei, the ministers in the cabinet are related to the government's economy. This matter needs to be reported to the Queen Mother and the new emperor."
It would be really shocking if such a cabinet minister was taken down at will.
Lu Jiang also said anxiously: "Without the approval of the Queen Mother and the new emperor, you, the King of Wei, dare to deceive me like this?"
Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to speak.
But at this moment, a clear and somewhat cold voice seemed to come from outside the palace, and came to the palace: "Ai Jia agrees!"
While talking, I saw a tall and towering beauty in a plain dress with wide sleeves and a bun in a bun, coming from outside. Under two slender willow eyebrows, her phoenix eyes were as sharp as a knife, and there seemed to be a cold light shining.
Hearing this, Lu Jiang's eyes seemed to be a little sad, and her face turned earthy for a moment.
Under Zhen Qing's green eyebrows, her clear and narrow phoenix eyes seemed to twinkle, and she said clearly: "Emperor Guangzong inherited the throne by Emperor Xianzong's order, and the inheritance of the lineage is sacred and inviolable, but people with intentions always...
Thinking of slandering the Holy Gong, trying to disrupt our Han Dynasty, and disturbing people's hearts is really deserving of punishment!"
As soon as these words came out, the three cabinet ministers present had different expressions on their faces.
Lu Jiang's hands and feet were cold, and her heart sank to the bottom of her heart.
Jia Heng shouted deeply and asked: "Someone, take Lu Jiang down!"
"Yes." Several Jinyi palace guards from all directions said in unison, then held down Lu Jiang's arm and walked quickly outside the palace.
Under her green eyebrows, Zhen Qing looked at Li Zan and Gao Zhongping with evil eyes and said: "If the cabinet wants to force Ai Jia and Jie'er, it might as well say it bluntly, why bother letting people slander Emperor Guangzong, who died young,
How can you bear to face such a miserable life?"
Li Zan's face changed slightly, he bowed and cupped his hands towards Zhen Qing, with fear on his face, and said, "I don't dare."
Gao Zhongping also looked a little pale, and his eyes were a little sharp. He immediately became sad and quickly said, "I don't dare, I don't dare."
Today's big men really can't withstand too much trouble.
Zhen Qing frowned, looked at Gao Zhongping with an unkind expression, and said, "Mr. Gao Ge, the rumor is actually behind the cabinet?"
Gao Zhongping hesitated for a moment and said: "This... I don't know about this either. I guess there must be something hidden. After being interrogated by the Secretary, I should know Lu Jiang's motive for this move."
How could Lu Jiang be so unwise? How could he send people to spread rumors and slander Sheng Gong among the prison students?
Zhen Qing's flawless jade face was as if covered with frost. Under her slender eyebrows, her eyes were cold and clear, and she scolded: "Old Gaoge, we will punish the relevant criminals severely and will never tolerate them!"
Jia Heng sat down not far away, looked at Zhen Qing with warm eyes, and said, "My queen, please calm down."
At this moment, Zhen Qing turned around her pretty face, which was not painted with makeup, and scolded her: "Jia Ziyu, there are people in the court spreading rumors and slandering Sheng Gong. How do you think Aijia will be seen in a hundred years?"
The late emperor?"
Jia Heng quickly bowed and said with fear in his voice: "My queen, please atone for your sins."
After a hundred years, you will naturally not be able to see Chen Qin who is wearing a cuckold on his head.
Zhen Qing nodded, and under her emerald willow eyebrows, her bright eyes were as bright as water, and she said coldly: "All ministers in the cabinet should severely punish the relevant criminals."
Jia Heng cupped his hands and said, "I obey the order."
Zhen Qing responded without saying anything else. She turned around and left Wuying Hall under the care of the eunuch and maids.
After Zhen Qing left, Li Zan and Gao Zhongping looked at the young man in the python suit with complicated eyes.
Li Zan was the first to break the silence and asked: "King Wei, what's going on with Jinyi Mansion? Have you ever found out the real reason? Why did Lu Jiang instigate the imperial student?"
Jia Heng waved his hand and said expressionlessly: "Liu Jixian, please deliver the file in your hand to Mr. Li Ge."
Liu Jixian cupped his hands in response, and then ordered the accompanying experience manager to deliver a dossier with a light yellow cover.
Li Zan sat down, picked up a volume of files, and began to flip through it with a focused look on his face.
Gao Zhongping was sitting on a pearwood chair below, with a gloomy look on his face.
The atmosphere in the palace was extremely dull.
After a while, Li Zan raised his eyebrows and looked at Jia Heng, squinting under the thin and loose eyebrows on his temples, with a somewhat dignified look in his eyes.
"Lu Li, the master of the Hanlin Academy, is also involved in the case?" Li Zan stopped reading the books in his hand and said.
After a while, Jia Heng raised his eyebrows, his eyes flickered, and said: "Lu Jiang is the mastermind, and Lu Li is the co-conspirator. The two people who are responsible for the specific handling should cooperate inside and outside, so that such a thing can happen."
Li Zan asked: "King Wei, are those former prison students still in prison?"
Jia Heng frowned for a moment, nodded, and said warmly: "They have been released one after another, and now the mastermind behind the scenes has been arrested. The case has almost come to light. It was Lu Jiang who used her dissatisfaction with the king as a threat to the justice of her family and country.
, trying to use this method to put pressure on the king, just because they want to be suspicious of the king, and to ask the king to hand over his errands. However, every time there has been chaos in the court, which time has it not been for the civil servants to embarrass the important task and invite the king to come out? How has he ever been in love with the war?
Power and position?”
Li Zan's expression changed and he was silent for a moment.
Gao Zhongping also had an expressionless face, his eyes were dark and incomprehensible, and he was completely shocked.
It can be said that this was Jia Heng's attack on the cabinet.
It was almost a clear-cut attack on the cabinet.
Li Zan spoke righteously, his eyes flickered, and he said in a low voice: "Lü Jiang deposed the official position for personal reasons, but he is a cabinet minister. He should be handed over to the Three Laws Division to interrogate his crime, and then the ministers will make a detailed decision.
His crime."
Jia Heng nodded, his eyes flashed aggressively, and he said warmly: "Lü Jiang instigated the supervisor to cause trouble at Anshun Gate to slander Emperor Xianzong and Emperor Guangzong, and even wanted to implicate me in it. If he is not handed over to Jinyi Mansion,
If we ask questions and arrest his accomplices, I'm afraid this will happen again and again."
Li Zan frowned, with a look of worry in his eyes.
Gao Zhongping frowned, his eyes flickered, and his face looked a little ugly.
Jia Heng nodded and said: "Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Gao Ge, now that the young master is coming to court, undercurrents are surging up and down the court and the public, and ambitious people are lurking everywhere. We, the generals and generals, must not cause trouble to Xiao Qiang and be taken advantage of by ambitious people."
When Li Zan heard this, he could only respond calmly.
Although Gao Zhongping's face was full of worry, he also agreed: "What King Wei said is true."
After Jia Heng said this, he said: "Mr. Li Ge, Mr. Gao Ge, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave first."
After Jia Heng left, Gao Zhongping stared at Li Zan aside, sighed, and said: "I didn't expect that in the Wuyingdian cabinet, actually..."
Until this moment, Gao Zhongping still felt a little dazed.
Li Zan frowned, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes, and said: "Mr. Gao Ge, do you think Lu Jiang really spread those treacherous rumors?"
When Gao Zhongping heard this, he was silent for a moment, and the same suspicion inevitably appeared in his heart.
Both of them have been ups and downs in the officialdom and have been fighting for countless years. Naturally, they can judge some doubts from some clues.
But at this moment, both of them fell into an eerie silence.
But no one dared to lie.
…
…
Luzhai, in the study
It was almost noon, and the summer sunlight shone on the figure sitting on a lacquered wooden table. However, Lu Li, with an earthy face, did not feel much warmth in his body. His heart was filled with fear to the extreme, and he was thinking about escaping in his mind.
Of the policy.
"Master, I'm sorry, the Tiqi from Jinyi Mansion came from outside." At this moment, an old butler with an old face entered the hall and said to Lu Li, who was sitting on a pearwood chair.
Lu Li raised his head at this moment, and there was clearly a calm and composed look on his fair and elegant face.
And on the street paved with bluestones, there was a sound of "da da", and at the end of the street was a group of royal guards wearing flying fish uniforms with embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists, coming on horseback.
A large number of Jinyi Palace Guards turned over and dismounted, cheered, and stood up under the eaves of the corridor, banging on the door. Accompanied by bursts of chaotic footsteps, a large number of Jinyi Palace Guards poured in like a tide.
Lu Zhai.
Looking down from a high altitude, I saw the imperial guards wearing flying fish suits and embroidered spring knives hanging from their waists. They were like two red dragons, rushing into the mansion with strangulation potential.
At this moment, Lu Li came out from the eaves of the corridor, pretending to be calm, and shouted: "How dare you, what do you want to do when you break into a private house?"
The leader, Qianhu in Jinyi, had a fierce look on his face and scolded: "Lu Li, your case has come to light. You have ordered the supervisor to spread rumors and cause trouble at Anshun Gate."
As he said this, he waved his hands without any explanation, and the guards in Jinyi on both sides came quickly and stepped forward to hold down Lu Li's arm.
Lu Li looked ugly and said anxiously: "If you want to accuse me, there is no need to hesitate! I want to see King Wei, and I want to see Mr. Li Ge!"
"Let's wait until we get to Zhao Prison." Jinyi Qianhu's face was cold and stern, and he couldn't help but say something. He ordered the surrounding Jinyi guards to push Lu Li and go towards Zhao Prison.
