There are really a lot of people who participated in today's court meeting, nearly 200 people, and many ministers did not get the summons of Emperor Zhao Zhi.

Many people pulled Li Xun to ask this and that, Li Xun was there playing haha, and he was false with them, trying to find out the news from me, no way.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

With the arrival of Zhao Zhi, the officials who gathered together suddenly separated and took their places.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

The crowd bowed down and shouted in unison.

Zhao Zhiyi waved his hand: "You Aiqing are exempt from courtesy. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After everyone saluted, Liu Chongji, the middle of the imperial history, immediately stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister has something to do." ”

The chief official of the Imperial Historical Observatory is the Imperial Historian, but since the reform of Wuzong, many of the chief officials have become virtually nonexistent, although they still exist, but they have no actual power, such as the Imperial Historical Observatory, the Imperial Historical Doctor is only the nominal chief official, and the one in charge of daily affairs is the Imperial Historian.

"Cheng up."

Zhao Zhi's face was dark, as the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty, it was difficult to say anything else, but as far as Fengjing was concerned, what could he hide from him? The matter of Baihuayuan, early this morning, the people of the Inner Servant Province passed a detailed information to Zhao Zhi.

Hurriedly glanced at Liu Chongji's twists and turns, Zhao Zhi was silent, and he was actually extremely annoyed in his heart, the war in Tubo was approaching, the matter of the reduction of soldiers in the three armies of the forbidden army was hotly discussed, and it could not be solved for a long time, the taxes in Jiangnan were getting less and less year by year, and the financial expenditure of the imperial court was already a little beyond its means, and there were too many problems plaguing Zhao Zhi, and now the Baihuayuan incident broke out again, a political battle, and it was about to break out.

"Your Majesty, the Baihua Courtyard hides filth and dirt, privately sets up a torture hall, robs the women of good families, forces good people to become prostitutes, and even finds a hidden corpse pit, with more than 300 corpses, which is simply appalling."

Liu Chongji was impassioned and went through hundreds of flower courtyard crimes.

You Mingyuan, the left attendant of the ministry, also stood up, and shouted urgently: "Since the establishment of Baihuayuan, it has been five years, but the government is unobservable, and there must be powerful forces behind it to protect it. ”

"Your Majesty, this matter has spread throughout the city, public opinion is in an uproar, if you don't deal with it decisively, I am afraid that you will lose the support of the people, please think twice."

Wang Renzi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, stood up from his chair and said with his hand.

Liu Chongji and You Mingyuan's official positions are not low, but their remarks only represent themselves, while Wang Renzi, who is one of the ministers of political affairs, is different, and his remarks represent a faction.

Sure enough, after Wang Renzi opened his mouth to express his attitude, many ministers suddenly stood up and spoke one after another.

"Wang Xiangguo's words are reasonable, and the minister seconded it."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"The minister also seconded the proposal."

"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of people who have been arrested, and there are many court officials, before the matter is investigated, I am afraid that it will chill the hearts of many courtiers."

Yue Jiming had to stand up and speak at this time, not only for his son, but also for himself, as Wang Renzi spoke, this political struggle was obviously unavoidable, since this was the case, he could only stand up and fight, and strive to minimize the damage.

"Your Majesty, what happened last night, how long has it been, how can you jump to conclusions? It's not too late to wait until the investigation is clear before making a statement. ”

Lang Qiuyan, the left attendant of the Criminal Department, came out to speak for Yue Jiming, he didn't want to stand up, but there was no way, his family and Yue Jiming's family had a very deep relationship, and the two were politically allies, if Yue Jiming fell, he would definitely not be spared.

Wang Renzi glanced at Qiu Yan, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes drooped, and he closed his eyes to recuperate, Yang Daosi and Liu Ji had not spoken yet, if their words and deeds were too intense at this time, and they made a mistake, I am afraid that the consequences would be very serious.

Since the Ministry of Rites and Rites Shangshu Hong Zhishi, today's political affairs are only six Xiangguo, the Ministry of Officials, the right Minister Yang Daosi, the Ministry of War, the left Minister Liu Ji, the Criminal Department of Shangshu Wang Renzi, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Yue Jiming, the Ministry of Household Shangshu He Zhongkai, the Ministry of Officials Right Lang Zheng Renjie, of which Liu Wei, Wang Renzi, Hong Zhi is a party, Yang Daosi, He Zhongkai, Yue Jiming is a party, Zheng Renjie is more neutral, slightly biased towards Yang Daosi, was already at a disadvantage, and now with Hong Zhishi, its power in the political hall is becoming weaker and weaker, Now that the Baihuayuan incident broke out, it was a great opportunity, how could it be missed, Wang Renzi's first thing was to jump out and attack it.

To be able to enter the political hall and achieve the level of Xiangguo, it is no longer possible to say who is attached to whom, it may be more appropriate to use the word political alliance, just to say who is the head of this political alliance, such as Wang Renzizi or Yue Jiming, they also have their own political power, and there are many ministers attached below.

Liu Yu's eyelids were raised slightly, and he glanced at Yang Daosi, who closed his eyes and recuperated, even if he was arguing fiercely in the court, he would always have that calm and unsurprised expression.

Liu Wei continued to close his eyes and recuperate, he was old, the court meeting would last for a long time, his energy was already a little unable to keep up, but his crossed hands were slightly hard to hold, the contradiction between him and Yang Daosi has become more and more obvious, the two sides could compromise with each other before, but now it is becoming more and more difficult, especially Hong Zhishi, the new Ministry of Rites Shangshu candidate issue, Hong Zhi is Liu Ji's person, it is said that Liu Ji should propose a new candidate, but Yang Daosi has always refused to give in, and the two sides have been deadlocked for a long time, There are already signs of incompatibility.

"The human and physical evidence is conclusive, what is there to hesitate about? Wouldn't it be much simpler to determine the nature of the case and then try it in that direction? ”

An Jian, the right attendant of the Ministry of Works, stood up, and on Yang Daosi's side, someone finally stood up and spoke.

Qiu Yan sneered: "What happened last night, Lord An knows very quickly and clearly. ”

An Jian said disdainfully: "Although it was only last night, it has spread throughout Fengjing, what is the fuss about the old man knowing?" ”

"I don't think so!"

Qiu Yan pretended to be surprised and said: "I forgot, Liu Zhongyuan's wife is your own sister, you two can't collude much in private, right?" ”

An Jian's face changed slightly, and he pointed at Qiu Yan and shouted angrily: "You are spewing blood, there is no such thing." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Liu Zhongyuan had to stand up, arched his hand and said loudly: "I lived in Jingzhao Mansion last night, and I didn't leave a step, and I also asked Your Majesty to know it." ”

Zhao Zhi nodded: "Liu Aiqing's personality, I believe it." ”

Qiu Yan continued to attack: "Since you didn't leave Jingzhao Mansion, how did the matter of the Hundred Flowers Courtyard spread throughout Fengjing City overnight?" ”

Qiu Yan said this, looked at Zhao Zhi, and the meaning of the words was already very clear, the matter of Baihuayuan was spread all over Fengjing in such a short time, and there must be someone behind it who was fueling the troubles, intending to stir up the situation and make things bigger.
