On this day of the court meeting on December 20, Zhao Zhi directly issued an edict without consultation among the courtiers, and dismissed and arrested all the more than 70 officials involved in Huang Zhi's confession, and handed them over to the Criminal Department and Yushitai for trial and discussion.

Zhao Zhi's arbitrary behavior immediately caused a shock in the Manchu Dynasty, and Liu Ji and his party went all out to persuade and stop it, while many officials of Yang Daohe's party were wantonly doing their best, listing many crimes, and strongly advised Zhao Zhi not to have any leniency, and must investigate to the end, one to stop the expansion of the matter, and the other to add fuel to the fire, intending to take the opportunity to suppress hostile political forces.

Zheng Renjie and Wang Renzi, the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials, came out to admonish and admonish, but were pushed back by Zhao Zhi, and then announced the dissolution of the dynasty, and the entire court meeting ended quickly, but with the arrest of several high-ranking officials and ministers such as Xiao Zheng, the governor of the Ministry of Justice, and Yang Yu, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, the matter did not end because of the end of the court meeting, but became more intense, many ministers, taking this opportunity, fishing in troubled waters, for various purposes, have written to Zhao Zhi to impeach their respective political enemies.

Li Xun stayed at home for a few days, looking forward to it and anxious.

Fan Zhongyun's uncle died, and he returned to his hometown with his wife a few days ago, and the battle in the court has become more and more intense, and it has reached a critical moment, even he is being dragged into it, although the problem is not serious, but it is obviously targeted by others, this time he has hidden, and the next time he may not be able to say, for now, Li Xun only knows who is behind the scenes, except for the winged king Zhao He, is there anyone else.

Fan Zhongyun is gone, there is no one to discuss countermeasures, Li Xun is in a hurry, but fortunately, before Fan Zhongyun left, he once told Li Xun that if the situation becomes more and more unfavorable, you can hand over the confession in your hand, but you must not do it personally, Liu Wei, Li Yi, Yang Daosi, these three people, you can choose one of them. , and only these few people have enough ability to shake the Wing King Zhao He.

Li Xun thought about it again and again, and finally decided to hand over the confession in his hand to his aunt Li Yi, after all, she was her own aunt, and she would definitely not have the intention of harming herself, Li Yi took the confession, and after asking in detail about the cause and effect, he scolded Li Xun and taught him a lesson, and then asked Li Xun to go home honestly and stay honestly, and he was not allowed to go anywhere, as for the rest of the things, Li Yi would take measures.

"Li Xun, I'm Mao Anfu, come out and see me."

A loud voice interrupted Li Xun who was in deep thought, Li Xun hurriedly walked out of the study, walked outside, and came to the courtyard, but Mao Anfu and Shan Qiu arrived.

"Two brothers, long time no see."

Li Xun greeted him with a smile, these days, staying at home, being strictly guarded by Li Mancang, not allowed to go out, really boring to death, but although he can't go out, he can find someone to come to the house to drink, no, this morning, Li Xun sent someone to find Mao Anfu and let him come to the house for lunch.

Shan Qiu pretended to be angry and said: "Li Xun, why only invite Mao Anfu, but not me, do you look down on me Shan Qiu?" ”

Shan Qiu went to Mao Anfu to drink today, but he waited until Li Xun sent someone to invite Mao Anfu to eat and drink at home, everyone was acquaintance, and Shan Qiu had nothing to be afraid of, so he followed Mao Anfu to Li Xun.

Li Xun stepped forward and hugged Shan Qiu, and said with a smile: "What kind of character is Brother Shan, how dare I, Li Xun, have the slightest contempt?" I'm just afraid that your leg injury hasn't healed yet, so I don't dare to ask you to run around. ”

"Some skin trauma, it's no longer a big deal."

Shan Qiu waved his hand and said with a smile: "I haven't drunk for a few days, I can't be greedy, I must drink it well today, Li Xun, do you have enough wine at home?" ”

Li Xun laughed and said, "Big Brother Shan just open up and drink it, it's enough." ”

Mao Anfu smiled and looked at the two of them talking and laughing there, and he was very happy in his heart, Shan Qiu is a person who is too stable, taciturn, and easily does not make friends, but as long as he gets his friendship, he can intersect in life and death, although Li Xun and Shan Qiu were good friends before, but they can only be regarded as ordinary friends, after this Huang Zhen incident, Li Xun helped each other, and was finally grounded at home, and saw the truth in adversity, Mao Anfu and Shan Qiu both began to take Li Xun seriously and regarded him as a true friend.

A few people were drinking, Li Xiao also heard the news, and when he asked, he learned that Li Xiao went to Mao Anfu to drink, and listened to people say that he went to Li Xun here, so he came uninvited, Li Xun didn't hate him, so he invited Li Xiao to join in, four young people, drinking and chatting, the atmosphere was also very harmonious and lively.
