Kong Chong immediately picked up the wat from the ground: "My hand slipped and disturbed Your Majesty, I hope Your Majesty will forgive me." ”

Zhao Zhen nodded and said to Imperial Physician Chu: "Then bother Imperial Physician Chu to prescribe a prescription and let him take care of his body as soon as possible, Gu Qing is a rare talent." ”

Zhao Zhen asked Fuji to stay and take care of Gu Qingjue, and he took the minister to continue to return to the main hall to go to the court.

I don't know if Gu Qingjue fainted, there are very few things today.

But half an hour later, the court dispersed.

Zhao Zhen came to the side hall alone this time.

Fu Ji brought a chair, and after Zhao Zhen sat down, Gu Qingjue opened his eyes.

Zhao Zhen looked at Gu Qingjue with interest and said, "Gu Qing made such a scene as fainting, where did he sing?" ”

"Surprise the snake, and a chance to be alone in front of His Majesty without being known by others."

Zhao Zhen looked at Gu Qingjue like this, and only after a while did he give Fuji a look, Fuji immediately bowed down and left the side hall, and sent all the people outside the side hall away.

"Don't worry, the news that I came here alone today won't get out. There's something you can say. ”

"Your Majesty, you take a look at this letter first."

Gu Qingjue took out an envelope from his sleeve, and when Zhao Zhen took out the letter, there was only a corner of the envelope, and he saw that this small piece of stationery was not completely burned when it was destroyed.

The unburned corner of the letter paper is written by Li Yuanhao, the lord of the Western Xia Dynasty, who changed the name of the emperor - Wei Mingxiao Xiao.

Zhao Zhen's face changed significantly.

The gentle gaze sharpened: "Where did it come from?" ”

"Confucius!"

Zhao Zhen's forehead was beating happily, and the muscles of his cheeks were shaking: "I thought he just wanted to keep his position from being merged and didn't cooperate with government affairs, but I didn't expect him to be so bold." ”

"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid that I framed me?"

"You have no conflict of interest with him, even if Kong Chong falls, the position of this privy envoy will not be your turn."

"Your Majesty."

Gu Qingjue sat up from the bed, his lips were no longer as pale as before: "The minister is targeting Kong Chong, not to sit in his position, but because he has a personal vendetta!" ”

Zhao Zhen asked suspiciously: "Personal vendetta?" You are from Jiangning Prefecture, and Kong Chong is from Kyoto......"

The new champion he appointed is a political trial.

Gu Qingjue's father was from the Gu family in Jiangning Mansion, and he already knew about this, but the Gu family and the Kong family have never intersected, how can there be a personal vendetta?

"Your Majesty, my father and mother were killed by the Gu family, and the family of Weichen's master Zeng Shengji was framed to death by Kong Chong. Just yesterday, Gu Mingjue went to find Kong Chong, the two didn't know what they were talking about, and it didn't take long for it to be rumored that Weichen and His Majesty had actually known each other for a long time, and Weichen, the champion, had long been favored by His Majesty. ”

Zhao Zhen squinted, not knowing what he was thinking.

It took about half an hour for Zhao Zhen to speak up: "So, you framed your boss because of personal vendetta?" ”

"Your Majesty, if it's just a personal vendetta, Zi Yuan is confident that there are many ways to make Kong Chong pay for himself, Zi Yuan said so much to let His Majesty know about the involvement of the ministers with them. Today, the minister saw His Majesty privately for the sake of what the minister said earlier: Fight the grass and scare the snake. ”

"What does Gu Qing mean by this?"

At this time, Gu Qingjue suddenly lifted his robe and knelt at Zhao Zhen's feet: "Your Majesty, there is no evidence for what the minister said next, but the minister saw it with his own eyes." Four days ago, the minister received news that Kong Chong was harboring Xixia fine works in Yichun Garden, so he wanted to find out. It was discovered that they had not only been wounded with a crossbow, but also poisoned. In the past few days, the ministers have been detoxifying in Wuji Sect, and the news of being seriously ill was deliberately said by the ministers and Kong Chong. ”

"Did Mao Ze Xingjun take you there?"

"Yes."

Zhao Zhen said: "No wonder I wanted to invite Mao Ze Xingjun to dinner a few days ago, and Pan Gongyan said that he suddenly went out in a hurry. ”

At this moment, Zhao Zhen didn't know the number of detailed work, and after Gu Qingjue said the number of fine works that Kong Chong was hiding in the next moment, the envelope in Zhao Zhen's hand and the small piece of letter paper all fell to the ground.

"How much do you say?"

"About three thousand."

Zhao Zhen got up angrily and paced back and forth, but it was really difficult to offset his anger, and he directly kicked over the chair he was sitting on.

"How can this be justified, it's just bold."

"Your Majesty, Weichen has no conclusive evidence, so he can only inform His Majesty in this way, hoping that His Majesty can be more vigilant. The Western Xia's decision to negotiate peace with our dynasty is most likely just a delaying tactic. ”

Zhao Zhen clutched his chest angrily.

He also thought that the problem of Western Xia could be solved by the end of the year at the latest.

Unexpectedly, they still kept such a hand.

If you let your guard down, these more than 3,000 meticulous works, and if you don't turn the whole of Kyoto over, just thinking about Zhao Zhen's back will break out in a cold sweat.

"Gu Qing, your body hasn't healed yet, get up first."

"If I don't visit Yichun Yuan at night and directly show Your Majesty, maybe I can serve them in one pot, but in the final analysis, the minister is acting recklessly."

Zhao Zhen helped Gu Qingjue, who refused to get up, and said, "How can I blame you for this." ”

If you don't investigate, how do you know that there will be so many people.

If the big move comes to naught, Kong Chong may act in advance, and what kind of situation will it be then.

Although he was still shocked now, as long as he pretended not to know, Kong Chong would not do anything for a while, so that they would have time to prepare.

The two of them were in the side hall and talked for an hour.

On the second day, Gu Mingjue was suddenly promoted in the court.

Kong Chong was stunned for a while.

What's the matter, he hasn't opened his mouth yet, why did the official family promote Gu Mingjue?

It wouldn't be that Gu Mingjue had already taken another line, and he just wanted to have one more choice with that secret letter.

This old puppet ......

After going down, Kong Chong returned to the mansion depressed, and as soon as he arrived at the study, he called Dai Feihe over.

"Fortunately, yesterday you advised me not to do anything. Otherwise, I would have been trapped by Gu Mingjue's old horseman. ”

Dai Feihe's brows moved slightly, and he was silent.

Kong Chong didn't expect Dai Feihe to say anything, but continued: "Today, the official family suddenly announced in the court that Gu Mingjue would be promoted to be a privy counselor, and the official would be promoted to two levels. ”

As the name suggests, the Privy Counsellor is also subordinate to the Privy Council, and the full name is the Privy Council.

At first, this position was a post, and it was not until the third year of Tiancheng in the previous dynasty that the Privy Council had the right to participate in politics and began to gradually encroach on the rights of the Privy Council.

So that the Privy Council can still restrict the rights of the Privy Council when participating in politics.

Later, the position of Duanming Hall Scholar was established, which has the same meaning as the Privy Council.

In the Taizu Dynasty, Taizu conferred the positions of Privy Counsellor and Duanming Hall Scholar on Zhao Pu and Lü Yuqing, and the two played a significant role in stabilizing the power when the Song Dynasty was first established.

It is very valued by Taizu.
