While the Son of Heaven was thinking, the two sweating imperial physicians got up and came to the front and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Duwei's internal injuries are relatively serious, but fortunately, he has laid an extremely solid foundation since he was a child, so he has no worries about his life. Weichen used the pill to protect Lu Duwei's heart, and helped him push the blood through the palace to temporarily stabilize his injuries. ”

Li Duan glanced at Lu Shen, whose eyes were closed on the door, and asked with a slight bow, "When will he wake up?" ”

The imperial doctor said: "It will take about two or three days to return to Your Majesty." ”

Li Duan said: "In the next period of time, you stay in the Lu Mansion, you must cure Lu Shen, and there must be no mistakes, have you written it down?" ”

The imperial physician hurriedly bowed down and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

At this time, Li Bingxue suddenly walked over and saluted: "Your Majesty, the minister wants to take Captain Lu to the mansion to recuperate from his injuries." I am afraid that Lu Zhai has already become a thorn in the side of the pseudo-Yan meticulously, and the internal and external guards are insufficient, and there will be no hidden dangers in this regard in the minister's mansion, so I beg Your Majesty to allow it. ”

Li Duan looked at her cold expression, knowing that the pearl of the Jingzhou Metropolitan Governor's palm had listened to all the words of Li Daoyan in his ears, and he inevitably had a distrustful idea of the imperial court.

He was not disappointed or angry because of this, nor did he rush to follow Li Daoyan's words and make random orders, but only said to Li Bingxue: "That's okay, I will send guards to protect outside." You don't have to worry too much, Lu Shen will definitely be safe and sound, and all kinds of medicinal materials in the palace will be available for him. ”

"Captain Lu thanked His Majesty for his grace." Li Bingxue lowered his head.

Seeing this, Li Duan finally said one more sentence, this sentence was not aimed at Li Bingxue alone, but said to all the border generals: "Rest assured, I will not let Lu Shen's blood flow in vain." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Everyone received it in unison, and Li Bingxue's complexion softened slightly.

The accompanying guards were divided into two parts, some escorted Lu Shen to the Li Mansion, and the other part surrounded the Son of Heaven and the important ministers to return to the palace.

When he came to the Wende Palace, there were high-ranking officials from various ministries and halls, and the scale was about equal to that of the usual dynasty.

On the order of the Son of Heaven, the Weaving Department raised Qin Zheng to briefly describe what happened today, including the words that Li Daoyan said at the end, without missing a word.

There was nothing unusual in his expression, even though Li Daoyan clearly pointed out that there might be a problem within the Warp Weaving Division, which caused Lu Shen's whereabouts to be completely grasped by Beiyan Xizuo.

When even if there are important ministers attacking them.

Ning Yuanfu, the secretary of the ministry, said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Qin Tiju, why didn't the Warp Weaving Division detect the traces of the pseudo-Yan fine work in advance?" ”

This is a bit impersonal.

There are millions of residents in Yongjia City, the houses and houses are undulating, and the spies of the Warp Weaving Division are not immortals, how can they know everything about the situation in this big city? Even if all the ministers knew that there must be spies from Beiyan in the capital, if the other party did not act rashly, it would undoubtedly be a needle in a haystack to find them from millions of people.

However, things in the world are like this, if there is no accident, you can be safe, once there is a mistake, others will not care how many difficulties you have, just see if you are flawless.

Facing the straightforward rebuke of the heavenly official, Qin Zheng calmly replied: "Lord Shangshu, the warp weaving department does have an unshirkable responsibility in this matter, and the lower official is willing to accept the responsibility. However, the top priority at the moment is to use the living assassin to find out the truth, that is, how the assassin learned about Lu Shen's whereabouts, and at the same time, he can also check from this line, and be sure to catch all the details of the pseudo-Yan Prosecutor's Office. ”

The military department Shangshu Ding will immediately retort: "Qin Tiju, it is difficult to say whether there is a problem within the Warp Weaving Department at the moment, if you continue to investigate this case, do you know that there will be no more serious situation?" ”

Zhu Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said coldly: "What Ding Shangshu said is extremely true. ”

Although Qu Fenghua's case did not involve this big boss, it made his face dull after all, and it dealt a very serious blow to the image of the Ministry of Industry.

Zhu Heng did not have the idea of worshipping the prime minister in his heart, but when Qu Fenghua was convicted of treason by the warp weaving department, he knew that he had no hope in this life.

In an instant, the three Shangshu blamed the warp weaving department at the same time, which was quite rare in the court.

In addition to the consistent hostility of the Chinese officials of the DPRK to the privileged Yamen of the Warp Weaving Division, another important reason still has to fall on Qu Fenghua, this case made the ministers wake up instantly, the Warp Weaving Department is not incapable, but deliberately put away the edge before.

Now that there is such an opportunity, how can they give up their attack on the warp weaving division.

Ordinary people may have an unbalanced mentality in the face of this kind of pressure, but Qin Zheng still looked as usual, and said unhurriedly: "Your lords are reasonable, and the Warp Weaving Department should withdraw from the investigation. ”

He looked up at the Son of Heaven, bowed and saluted, "Your Majesty, I implore the imperial court to send officials to the Warp Weaving Department for review." ”

Li Daoyan narrowed his old eyes slightly.

The old man is full of poetry and books, and knows the annals of history, and has seen all kinds of powerful figures in the history of Huanghuang Qing, but it is rare to see an eccentric courtier like Qin Zheng, who is obviously a confidant of the Son of Heaven, who is in charge of thousands of secret agents, knows all kinds of secrets from the government and the opposition, but does not have any sharp intentions.

At this moment, he could not care about the persecution of several Shangshu, because the exposure of Lu Shen's whereabouts was not necessarily the problem of the Warp Weaving Division, and in order to protect Lu Shen, the two swordsmen accompanying the Warp Weaving Division paid a considerable price, and in the end, several masters of the Warp Weaving Division rushed to the scene to save Lu Shen as soon as possible.

In short, Qin Zheng didn't need to put his posture so low, but he did it without hesitation, and more thoroughly than others expected.

The Warp Weaving Department not only withdrew from the investigation of the case, but was also willing to accept the direct review of the imperial court.

This person is still as difficult as he was back then......

After Qin Zheng made this statement, Ning Yuanfu and the others were not able to attack him again, and they could not force him to resign in front of the court, especially since the truth of the matter had not yet been ascertained.

There was silence in the hall.

On the dragon chair, the Son of Heaven looked at Qin Zheng with a little puzzlement.

During his time back at the palace, Li Duan roughly figured out the context of the incident, first confirming the identities of the two assassins, and then taking targeted revenge, so as to minimize the impact of the incident. Secondly, it is necessary to find out the secrets behind the assassination case, how the assassins clearly grasped Lu Shen's whereabouts, whether they discovered it by accident, or whether they colluded with internal forces.

At such a time, how can the warp weaver retreat.

Even if he planned for the worst, if someone within the Warp Weaving Department leaked Lu Shen's whereabouts, Qin Zheng could not stand by and completely hand over the initiative to these ministers in the court.

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other, and the melancholy in Qin Zheng's eyes made Li Duan's heart awe-inspiring.

He had never seen this brawler appear in such a description in the court.

Since he ascended the throne as emperor twelve years ago, Qin Zheng has always stood beside him, never slacking off for a day, and never giving up on cowardice. He relied on the news obtained by the Warp Weaving Division to prevent Li Duan from becoming blind and deaf.

No matter how difficult the situation is, Qin Zheng can be calm.

It is extremely rare to behave as strangely as today.

He was a little afraid...... Why is that?

Qin Zheng lowered his head slightly, as if inadvertently glanced to the side.

At this moment, Li Duan suddenly understood his thoughts.

As if sensing Qin Zheng's afterglow looking at him, a middle-aged man at the head of Wenchen's class stepped forward.

Everyone raised their eyes and saw that the right prime minister Xue Nanting was facing the Son of Heaven, and said unhurriedly: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the truth is not clear at the moment, and he can't point the finger at the warp weaving department, maybe this is what the pseudo-Yan Xizuo wants to achieve." In their opinion, the assassination of Lu Shen can make the border soldiers and soldiers alienate from the imperial court on the one hand, and on the other hand, it can provoke civil strife in our court. ”

In Li Daoyan's previous inference, not only may there be problems within the Warp Weaving Division, but also the Right Prime Minister's Mansion and the people around Lu Shen are also suspicious.

The ministers besieged the warp weaving division and missed the right phase, which was naturally intentional.

Although the right minister has repeatedly expressed his support for the Son of Heaven, he is only loyal to the country and has no selfish thoughts, and he also has a group of supporters in the Wenchen group, unlike the warp weaving department that is independent of the court.

When it was not a last resort, Ning Yuanfu and the others did not want to provoke this upright right minister.

Hearing Xue Nanting's concise but reasonable analysis now, some people's faces couldn't help but look slightly ugly.

Before Li Duan could speak, Qin Zheng stood up and said, "Xue Xiangyan is serious. As the yamen of the imperial court, the warp weaving department should accept the review of the imperial court since it is suspicious. The next official thought about it carefully, there may indeed be problems within the Warp Weaving Division, after all, this time the border army generals entered Beijing by the Warp Weaving Department is responsible for secretly protecting them, and there are many people below who are very clear about the whereabouts of Lu Shen and other generals. ”

He paused slightly, and said resolutely: "Therefore, the minister implores His Majesty to send another minister to investigate this case, and at the same time conduct an internal review of the warp weaving department. ”

This reply made the important ministers of the Manchu Dynasty hear it in a fog and were full of confusion.

In recent years, the Son of Heaven has gradually grasped power, mainly relying on several forces, one is the support of Xiao Wangzhi and Li Tianrun, the two commanders in the army, the second is the loyalty of the Weaving Department under the jurisdiction of Qin Zheng, and the third is also the most important reliance in the court, which is a part of the civil officials headed by the right minister Xue Nanting.

Now that Qin Zheng has publicly denied Xue Nanting's suggestion in the court, is there a contradiction between the two arms of the Son of Heaven?

Xue Nanting turned his head to look and saw a flash of earnestness from Qin's front.

He didn't quite understand why the other party had to let the warp weaver become the target of public criticism?

The word censorship seems simple, but in fact it is easy to have unpredictable changes, or no yamen in the court can withstand the scrutiny of every detail. As long as you put your mind to it, you can always find out a lot of problems, not to mention a special yamen like the warp weaving division that is soaked in darkness and dirt.

His previous words were to relieve the siege of the warp weaving division, but Qin Zheng didn't appreciate it.

Li Daoyan watched this scene expressionlessly, it stands to reason that this should be the situation he wants to see, with the help of the case of Lu Shen's assassination, he pointed the finger at the warp weaving division and the right minister, and slightly weakened the power in the hands of the Son of Heaven.

However, Qin Zheng inevitably behaved too weakly.

He and the privy envoy Guo Congyi glanced at each other, and both of them realized at the same time that there was something strange hidden in it, so they did not add fuel to the fire and chose to wait and see.

In the silence, Li Duan looked at one of the Wenchen and said slowly: "Xu Aiqing." ”

In the left imperial history of the Imperial History, Xu Zuo came out of the class and said: "The minister is here." ”

Li Duan said: "You will lead sixteen people to supervise the imperial history and review the warp weaving department." ”

Xu Zuo said calmly: "The minister's order! ”

Li Duan hesitated slightly, and said in a deep voice: "The case of Lu Shen's attack will be handed over to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple for joint investigation and handling. ”

No one in the group objected, and they all bowed down.
