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 trouble Imperial Physician Chu to prescribe a prescription to let him recuperate as soon as possible. Gu Qing is a rare talent."

Zhao Zhen asked Fu Ji to stay and take care of Gu Qingjue, and he took the ministers back to the main hall to go to court.

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

After half an hour, the court dispersed.

Zhao Zhen came to the side hall alone this time.

Fuji moved a chair, and after Zhao Zhen sat down, Gu Qingjue opened his eyes.

Zhao Zhen looked at Gu Qingjue with great interest, and said, "How can Gu Qing sing a scene like fainting?"

"To scare the snake away, and an opportunity to face His Majesty alone without being known by others."

Zhao Zhen just looked at Gu Qingjue like this, and after a while he winked at Fuji, Fuji immediately bowed and left the side hall, and sent away all the people outside the side hall.

"Don't worry, the fact that I came here alone today will not be spread. If you have anything to say, you can talk about it."

"Your Majesty, please read 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 letter paper was not completely burned when it was destroyed.

On the unburned corner of the letter paper, it was the name that Li Yuanhao, the lord of Xixia, changed after he proclaimed himself emperor——Wei Ming Kuang Xiao.

Zhao Zhen's face changed obviously.

The gentle gaze became sharp: "Where did it come from?"

"Confucius!"

The veins on Zhao Zhen's forehead were jumping happily, and the muscles on his cheeks were shaking: "I thought he just wanted to keep his position from being merged, and didn't cooperate with government affairs. I didn't expect him to be so courageous."

"Your Majesty is not afraid that I will frame you?"

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

"His Majesty."

Gu Qingjue sat up from the bed, his lips were no longer as pale as before: "I'm targeting Kong Chong, not because I want to take his place, but because I have a personal grudge!"

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

The new No. [-] scholar he hand-picked must undergo a political review.

Gu Qingjue's father came from the Gu family in Jiangning Mansion, he already knew this, but the Gu family and the Kong family have never met, how can there be any personal enmity?
"Your Majesty, my father and mother were murdered by the Gu family. 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 had a secret conversation. After a while, it was rumored that Weichen and His Majesty have known each other for a long time, and that Weichen, the number one scholar, has long been favored by His Majesty."

Zhao Zhen squinted his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

It took about a quarter of an hour before Zhao Zhen said: "So, you framed your boss because of a personal enmity?"

"Your Majesty, if it's just a personal enmity, Ziyuan is confident that there are many ways to make Kong Chong pay the price for himself. Ziyuan said so much in order to let His Majesty know about his involvement with them. Today, I see His Majesty privately because of what I said earlier. That sentence: beat the grass to 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 I said next, but I saw it with my own eyes. Four days ago, I received news that Kong Chong was in Yichun. Yuan nested Xixia Xizuo, so he wanted to find out. It turned out that he was not only injured by their crossbow, but also poisoned. In the past few days, I have been detoxifying in the Wuji sect. The news of the serious illness is that my wife deliberately said Listen to Kong Chong."

"Did Maoze Xingjun take you there?"

"Yes."

Zhao Zhen said: "No wonder I wanted to invite Xingjun Maoze to dinner a few days ago, but Mr. Pan said that he suddenly left the house in a hurry."

At this moment, Zhao Zhen didn't know the number of spy workers. After Gu Qingjue revealed the number of secret workers hidden by Kong Chong, the envelope and the small piece of letter paper in Zhao Zhen's hand fell to the ground.

"How many did you say?"

"About 3000 people."

Zhao Zhen got up angrily and paced back and forth, but it was hard to counteract his anger, and he kicked the chair he was sitting on just now.

"It's unreasonable, it's simply audacious."

"Your Majesty, I don't have conclusive evidence. I can only use this method to inform Your Majesty. I hope that Your Majesty will be more vigilant. Xixia's decision to negotiate peace with our court is most likely just a way to delay the attack."

Zhao Zhen clutched his chest angrily.

He also thought that the problem with Xixia would be resolved by the end of the year at the latest.

Unexpectedly, they still kept such a hand.

If you relax your vigilance, these more than 3000 meticulous work will not turn the entire capital upside down, and Zhao Zhen's back will break out in cold sweat just thinking about it.

"Gu Qing, you haven't recovered yet, so get up first."

"If I don't visit Yichun Garden at night and report directly to His Majesty, I might be able to take them all together. In the end, I still act 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 there will be so many people.

If he made a big move and went to nothing, Kong Chong might act ahead of time, and what kind of situation will it be then.

Although he is still shocked now, as long as he pretends not to know, whether Kong Chong will do something to kill the fish and break the net for a while, so that they will have time to prepare.

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

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

Kong Chong was stunned for a while.

What's going on, he hasn't spoken yet, why did the officials promote Gu Mingjue?
It couldn't be that Gu Mingjue had already picked up another line, and he wanted to have another choice by taking that secret letter.

This old man...

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

"Fortunately, yesterday you advised me not to act. Otherwise, I would have been trapped by that old man Gu Mingjue."

Dai Feihe frowned slightly and remained silent.

Kong Chong didn't expect Dai Feihe to say anything, but continued: "Today, the officials suddenly announced at the court that Gu Mingjue will be appointed as a privy direct bachelor, and he will be promoted by two ranks."

As the name suggests, the Privy Council Bachelor is also affiliated to the Privy Council, and the full name is the Privy Council Direct Bachelor.

In the beginning, this position was a subsidy. It wasn't until the third year of Tiancheng in the previous dynasty that the Privy Councilors had the right to participate in and discuss state affairs, and gradually began to embezzle the Privy Council's rights.

This allows the direct bachelors of the Privy Council to restrict the rights of the Privy Council envoys when they participate in and discuss state affairs.

Later, the position of Bachelor of Duanming Palace was established, which means almost the same as that of a direct bachelor of the Privy Council.

In the Taizu Dynasty, Taizu awarded Zhao Pu and Lu Yuqing the positions of Privy Scholars and Duanming Palace Bachelors. When the Song Dynasty was established at the beginning, the two played a significant role in stabilizing the regime.

Therefore, he was highly valued by Taizu.
