Happy Little Scholar

The King of Shu sprained his ankle a few days ago. He was supported by two servants and limped towards the Lizheng Palace.

"Your Highness, please slow down..."

The imperial physician said that Your Highness should focus on recuperation these days and avoid going out, the servant said with some concern.

The King of Shu waved his hand and said righteously: "Why slow down? A murder happened in the Chen family. Someone wants to abuse his power and cover up the suspect. Chen Yuanwailang is loyal to me. If I stand aside and watch, won't it make him and many other officials in the court feel disappointed?"

The servant thought that you were just trying to make things worse. Li County Earl hurried over as soon as he heard the news, but his face showed an expression of being moved by him.

"Hurry up, the morning court is about to end." The King of Shu tidied up his clothes and wanted to walk up the stairs.

Today's morning court was already very late. If he delayed for a while, he was afraid that he would not be able to see some interesting scenes.

At this time, noisy footsteps came from the hall.

"Is the court dismissed?"

The King of Shu was stunned when he saw this, revealing a little disappointment.

At the same time, all the officials walked out of the hall with different expressions.

A lot of things happened in the morning court today. A series of measures were taken against Qi and Zhao. The son of the Minister of Rites was poisoned. Zhao Shilang of the Ministry of Justice accepted huge bribes and committed corruption for personal gain. Li Xianbo, who was innocently implicated, and the mastermind behind the scenes who has not yet surfaced...

Of course, the terror of the Secret Service Department once again refreshed the bottom line in their hearts.

The Minister of Justice is really finished this time. Not only that, judging from the last few words of His Majesty, this time the Ministry of Justice is likely to usher in a major change. Liu Yishou will temporarily take over the position of the Minister of Justice. Among the six ministries, Zhao Guangyuan, who originally belonged to the line of the King of Shu and the Prime Minister of Qin, and is likely to become the future Minister of Justice, will face a double investigation by the Dali Temple and the Secret Service Department. I don’t know how many officials will be involved.

The man who took advantage of the corruption of Zhao Guangyuan, the vice minister of the Ministry of Justice, intended to frame Li Xianbo and poison the son of the vice minister of the Ministry of Rites, and manipulated all this behind the scenes, although he still did not show up and did not leave too many traces and clues, but the officials knew that except for those few people, no one had the motivation or ability to do such a thing.

The conflict between Li Xianbo and the Shu Wang family was seen by everyone. If there was anyone who wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, it must be them.

However, the possibility of His Royal Highness the Shu Wang was smaller, because the Chen family was also a branch of the Shu Wang. Just to create trouble for Li Xianbo, they killed the son of the Chen family and planted a vice minister of the Ministry of Justice. This kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself is not something that ordinary people would do. His Royal Highness the Shu Wang should not hate Li Xianbo that much, right?

When the courtiers in front were about to walk down the stairs, they were blocked by someone.

The one who blocked their way was the Shu Wang.

After a brief moment of astonishment, an official immediately bowed and said respectfully: "Meet His Royal Highness the King of Shu."

The King of Shu put away the disappointment on his face, nodded, and asked: "I heard that the son of Mr. Chen from the Ministry of Rites was murdered, and the Secret Service Department protected the suspect. I wonder what the result is?"

At this time, his face was full of righteousness, thinking that he had seen a lot of emperors' minds in the past two days, and this moment was the most suitable for winning people's hearts.

The official looked up at the King of Shu, with a trace of disbelief in his eyes. After a moment, he whispered: "This case... has been solved by the Secret Service Department."

When the voice fell, the court officials behind him looked at the King of Shu with a different look.

"Solved?"

The King of Shu was stunned when he heard the words, and more court officials had already walked out from the opposite side.

Prime Minister Qin had no expression on his face. After looking at the King of Shu with a suspicious look, he left directly.

The official of the Ministry of Rites looked pale and his eyes were extremely complicated. He didn't even salute. When he passed by the King of Shu, his whole body was hunched.

When half of the court officials passed by him, feeling the various eyes and strange expressions of the people, the King of Shu looked confused.

"They are all------what's wrong?"

...

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" In a garden behind the Lizheng Palace, Li Yi bowed to Emperor Jing.

"You don't have to thank me." Emperor Jing waved his hand and said, "You are now a county earl, but you were calculated like this. Can you be a little more careful and cause me less trouble..."

"Your Majesty..." Li Yi wanted to say that he was helpless too. He didn't provoke anyone. In the two recent times, one was bullied and he was passively defending. The other time, it might be that he couldn't control his hegemony as he wanted. Was the other party so cruel?

Emperor Jing waved his hand, interrupted him, and said, "Do you know who is behind this incident?"

"I don't know yet." Li Yi shook his head.

Even Liu Yishou didn't find any clues, and he just had a few guesses in his mind.

But those guesses are not suitable to be said in this occasion.

"You are still a little reckless about this matter. I will let the Dali Temple and the Secret Service investigate this matter thoroughly." Emperor Jing looked at him and said, "I have handed over the Ministry of Justice to Liu Yishou, and you should also help me keep an eye on it. One of the six ministries is so corrupt that I can't escape the blame..."

Emperor Jing said a few words, sat down in the pavilion, covered his chest, and a trace of abnormal blush appeared on his face. He said, "You go back first..."

Then he remembered something and said, "Don't cheat when playing chess with Shouning in the future."

"If you don't cheat, you can't win..." Li Yi sighed in his heart. The arrogant loli is silly and cute in other aspects, but she is so talented in chess. As a teacher, if he loses to his student, how can he save his face?

I don't know how the old emperor gave birth. Except for the King of Shu, his sons and daughters are more powerful than each other. No wonder he is so unpopular.

When he walked out of the garden, Li Xuan came towards him and asked him to wait for him at the palace gate. Before he reached the palace gate, he chased him from behind, raised the sign in his hand as if showing off, and asked: "Can the Secret Service Department enter and exit the Ministry of Industry at will and look through the drawings?"

Li Yi waved his hand: "The Secret Service Department can't, but you can."

Even the sign commanded by the Secret Service Department can be given casually, what is the drawings of the Ministry of Industry?

Li Xuan put away the sign, and then said seriously: "This time, the Cui family and King Hui are the most likely, and King Shu is also very likely. Prime Minister Qin will not let Qin Yu act recklessly. If you find anything, you must tell me and don't act rashly."

"Don't worry." Li Yi waved his hand and said.

There are still many things to do next, and there is no time to waste here. Zeng Zuimo and Yang Liuqing should have returned home now. They are probably shocked by this incident.

That place must be watched more by the Secret Service. Although no matter who is behind the scenes, there should be no more actions in a short time, but even the son of the Minister of Rites can be easily poisoned, and it is hard to guarantee that he will not do something more outrageous under the desperate situation.

I went to Yangliu Lane first. The people from the Secret Service had sent them home. Wan Ruoqing also came back. The worry on her face disappeared until she saw Li Yi coming.

Li Yi did not stay there for long, because there were more important things to do next.

The twists and turns that were enough to affect the entire court only lasted for a few hours. However, although the surface was calm, it was unknown how many invisible undercurrents were surging inside...
