Chapter 318: Who can comfort Bian Bian's faint sorrow?
Wei Yuan's words caused a huge uproar, and people in the Golden Palace began to discuss in low voices.

The whole story of the Sangpo case has been basically clarified so far. Zhou Chixiong secretly colluded with the demon tribe and smuggled gunpowder into the imperial city. He was the direct executor of this case.

As for the real person behind the scenes, with the intelligence and knowledge of the bigwigs in the court, they basically guessed most of it, but what they couldn't guess was the deal behind the scenes with the demon clan.

Wei Yuan is such a traitor! Another person in the court is going to be doomed!
These civil servants do not reflect on themselves. They think that anyone who touches their interests is treacherous and will be highlighted in history books in the future.

The Minister of Rites suddenly froze in place, his gray beard trembling violently, and his legs couldn't help but go weak. This old bureaucrat, who usually kept a straight face, finally lost control of his expression and completely lost his composure.

"Announce!" Emperor Yuan Jing said in a deep voice.

Not long after, Zhou Chixiong was taken to the Golden Palace. Xu Qian'an, Zhang Shen, and Song Qing went to the palace together. In order to prevent Zhou Chixiong from turning against them in the palace, Wei Yuan also made a backup plan.

"Your Majesty! This is Zhou Chixiong, the wanted criminal of the court!" Xu Qian'an lifted Zhou Chixiong's face, then pressed a few major acupoints to wake him up.

Zhou Chixiong groaned in pain a few times, and then fell into panic. In front of him were the Emperor of Dafeng and the nobles. The scene was really scary.

"I, a guilty minister, deserve to die! I deserve to die!" Zhou Chixiong burst into tears, fell on his back, and shouted while trembling all over.

He flew all the way to the capital, but he spent most of the time unconscious on the back of a golden eagle and didn't eat much along the way.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked down from above, his voice majestic, as if he had suppressed his anger, "Zhou Chixiong, who instructed you to collude with the demon tribe and smuggle gunpowder!"

Zhou Chixiong lay on the ground, repeating over and over again, "This humble minister deserves death..."

Emperor Yuan Jing was too lazy to pay attention to him and said directly to Zhang Shen, "Sorry to bother you, Mr. Zhang."

Zhang Shen snorted coldly and shouted at Zhou Chixiong, "A gentleman should be honest, and so should an ordinary man!"

As soon as the words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed. The only word in everyone's mind was honesty. The Minister of Rites even staggered. If it weren't for the support of the people next to him, he would have collapsed to the ground.

"Who instructed you to collude with the demon tribe and smuggle gunpowder?"

Zhang Shen's voice echoed in the hall, and Zhou Chixiong burst into tears and said, "It's the Minister of Rites, Li Yulang."

All of a sudden, the Golden Palace was filled with an uproar. Half a year ago, the Minister of War fell, and two days ago, the Minister of Works fell. Now, such a big thing happened to the Minister of Rites. It was inevitable that people were in panic.

The six ministries were in a panic, and three ministers met with accidents within a year. It was really unbelievable.

At this moment, Xu Qian'an felt mixed emotions. The Qi party allied with the Wushen Cult, the Wang party colluded with the demon clan, and half of the six ministers were imprisoned. What kind of dynasty was this? It was simply a mess.

At this time, several members of the Wang Party came out to defend, "Your Majesty, this matter is really absurd. It concerns a second-rank minister. We cannot allow Zhou Chixiong to slander it!"

Song Qing interrupted the officials with a cold tone, "Every word Captain Zhou said is true. He did not lie."

The sorcerer's qi-gazing technique cannot be used on ministers above the fourth rank, but it has no problem using it against Zhou Chixiong.

The Minister of Rites turned pale and closed his eyes in pain, because he knew that since Emperor Yuan Jing dared to let Zhou Chixiong enter the palace, he had no intention of letting him go.

As expected, Emperor Yuan Jing said mercilessly, "Li Yulang, you actually colluded with the demon clan and destroyed the country's most important weapon. You are simply insane. The evidence is irrefutable. What else do you have to say?"

Minister Li knelt on the ground, trembling, and said, "I am terrified. I deserve to die..."

Wei Yuan immediately said, "Your Majesty, please rest assured. The night watchmen will conduct a strict interrogation and get to the bottom of it to find out who is behind this!"

Emperor Yuan Jing was silent and glanced at the ministers in the court. The discussions in the hall instantly quieted down.

At this juncture, a passionate shout suddenly broke out in the court, "Your Majesty, this case cannot be handed over to the night watchman for trial!"

Wei Yuan frowned and looked back, only to see an official from the Ministry of Justice kneeling on the carpet in the hall, looking very excited and making an impassioned speech.

"Your Majesty, the night watchmen are corrupt, corrupt, and have violated the law. Such a major case concerning the country must not be handed over to them for trial!"

The Minister of Justice was a member of the Wang Party, but this Secretary was a member of the Qi Party.

Wei Yuan's expression remained calm, but a sense of uneasiness was already rising in his heart. Was it that the Wang Party and the Qi Party had merged, or had the Sangpo case been solved and the emperor was going to settle accounts with him?

The official knelt on the ground with his butt sticking up, still crying about the night watchman's crimes, "The night watchman abused his power for personal gain, which is extremely evil. He has exceeded his authority and usurped the imperial edict several times. He deserves death! I request that the eunuch Wei Yuan be executed to eliminate the evil tendencies!"

"I will reconsider!"

"I will reconsider!"

……

Seven or eight members of the Wang Party and the Qi Party came out one after another and knelt in the court.

Xu Qian'an finally witnessed the realistic acting skills of the senior officials. These people were so sanctimonious, like wise sages who were good at governing the country, as if Wei Yuan was going to rebel and seize power.

However, these people were just trying to transfer Zhou Chixiong to the Ministry of Justice for trial, so that the Wang party could decide how deep to dig.

Of course, their purpose was not limited to this. They wanted to take advantage of the emperor's desire to balance the court and completely overthrow and cripple the night watchman.

Firstly, the night watchman wants to investigate the Qi Dang’s arms case, and the Qi Dang must take action now.

Secondly, with the fall of several ministers, the "Eunuch Party" had become the dominant force, which the emperor could not tolerate.

The emperor took the memorial from the Ministry of Justice from the eunuch, read it carefully, and then sighed deeply.

"Wei Yuan, you really disappoint me."

These words without any emotion made the officials lying on the ground feel at ease. With these words, it meant that the emperor wanted to deal with Wei Yuan.

Over the years, Emperor Yuan Jing has never said such words.

Then, Emperor Yuan Jing angrily threw the memorial in front of Wei Yuan, "Look for yourself!"

Wei Yuan picked up the memorial, took a look at it, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he knelt down to apologize.

He knew that the Qi Party was going to make trouble for him, but he didn't expect that it was Zhu Jinluo who defected. He provided a lot of evidence, including several direct descendants of Jinluo involved in the memorial, and there was actual evidence.

"I deserve death. I have failed the Emperor's grace. I only ask for death."

He confessed his guilt directly without any rebuttal, which made the court officials who rolled up their sleeves to debate a little confused.

Xu Qian'an was equally confused. Wasn't the Sangbo case supposed to be closed today? Why did the topic suddenly change?

Emperor Yuan Jing slowly stood up and said, "Very good. If you try to quibble today, I will definitely throw you into the Heavenly Prison!"

Afterwards, he looked at the ministers in the court with great sorrow and anguish, "You really disappoint me!"

"There are six ministers in the court, and three of them dared to break the law and endanger the country! My right-hand men and left-hand men also betrayed my trust and turned the night watchmen's office into a filthy place that harbors filth and dirt!"

Xu Qian'an looked at Emperor Yuan Jing in shock. His intuition told him that this emperor had superb acting skills!

Although he had been traveling through time not long ago, even he could see clearly that the chaos in the court was clearly caused by Emperor Yuan Jing's tolerance and even connivance.

The emperor was only concerned with maintaining balance and had allowed the various parties to fight each other while he just sat back and watched the show. Now, with just one sentence, he threw all the blame onto his ministers.

Emperor Yuan Jing continued, "The Sangpo case will be handed over to the Ministry of Justice for trial. Xu Qian'an has made meritorious contributions to his crime, so he will be spared from beheading." "The night watchman's major case of abuse of power will be tried by the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I want to see the result within three days!"

The meeting is over.

The court officials slowly got up from the ground, and the expressions of deep sorrow, hatred of evil, and indignation that had just appeared on their faces had all disappeared.

These people's faces showed the shrewdness of years of service as officials, and their eyes were shining, as if they had just finished a grand performance.

When Xu Qian'an followed Wei Yuan out of the Golden Palace, he heard the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple chasing after them.

The Dali Temple Minister of the Dafeng Dynasty was a fourth-rank official. Although his position was not high, he held great judicial power.

The weight of a Beijing official in any dynasty is determined by the real power he holds, not simply his official rank.

The old man with gray hair and a clear face had a smile full of worldly wisdom on his face, "Mr. Wei, I want to know the situation of the criminal involved in the case."

Wei Yuan stopped and said, "Someone will send him to the Dali Temple later."

At this time, the smiling Dali Temple Minister said, "The night watchman is in a high position and has great power. Sometimes he has to make decisions in an emergency. After all, the world is not black and white. Moreover, Wei Yuan is a pillar of the country. How could he be involved in this?"

"I heard that Lord Wei is investigating the Yunzhou Arms Case. Arms are a big deal. How could they have flowed into Yunzhou? This is ridiculous and groundless."

Xu Qian'an, who was following behind Wei Yuan, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Oh my god, he had run into the PY transaction of the big guys.

The Dali Temple Minister is a member of the Qi Party. The meaning of these two sentences is clear as day.

If you, Wei Yuan, let the Yunzhou arms case go, the three courts here will be able to give you a lighter sentence as a night watchman. Putting aside other things, Wei Yuan will be fine.

This is a naked exchange of interests. It depends on whether Wei Yuan is willing.

As a small figure, Xu Qian'an's heart was pounding. The private sale of arms had caused bandits to arise in a state of the country. If it was not handled properly, it would cause a major unrest. However, these big guys treated it as a deal so easily.

In the eyes of these bigwigs, the power in their hands, which concerns the stability of the country and the lives of the people, is nothing more than a chip with a clear price tag.

"Alas..." Wei Yuan sighed, then left with a cold face.

The smile on the Dali Temple Minister's face seemed to have been switched off, disappearing without a trace in an instant, and his thin old face suddenly became gloomy.

Imperial city, Lin'an Prefecture.

Princess Lin'an held her little face with both hands and looked at the desk in front of her. It was filled with Li Chang'an's calligraphy and paintings, storybooks, and the novel that Li Chang'an had written for her.

She hadn't been to Li Changan's mansion for more than a month. Although she wanted to go very much, she still restrained herself.

"If I don't go to him, he will never go to me!"

"A glance at the crowd shows that the colors of the world are like dust... they are all deceiving."

"I think about him all day long. He's either going to the Music Bureau or coaxing his concubine. He didn't even notice that I haven't been there for a long time!"

Since when, Lin'an suddenly began to worry and feel that she was giving herself to Li Chang'an, but Li Chang'an didn't seem to miss her much.

Perhaps, it was after her proposed marriage was rejected by her father, or perhaps it was after she heard that Huaiqing and Li Changan had a close relationship.

The news that Huaiqing is interested in Li Changan has slowly spread in the imperial city. With Huaiqing's skills, he is quietly expanding the impact of this matter.

Lin'an has reason to suspect that Huaiqing and Li Chang'an may have the same relationship as himself and Li Chang'an!

Damn Huaiqing, he actually stole my sweetheart!
Lin'an is self-aware. She doesn't like reading, and is not good at playing the piano, chess, calligraphy or painting. What she loves most is playing.

When I was a child, I could still play with the prince, but now the prince always frowns and always says that he has important things to do.

She felt like a canary, kept in a gorgeous cage, her life was monotonous and boring, and she spent every day carefree.

Life has been completely different since Li Changan appeared. He is almost a perfect person!

Before Li Changan, men outside the royal family were always trembling with fear when they saw Lin'an, or they came to ask for something.

Li Changan is completely different. His aura is even stronger than that of the female tyrant in Huaiqing. Lin'an has been deeply trapped in it without realizing it.

But now, Lin'an always compares himself with Huaiqing unconsciously.

Although she always competed with Huaiqing, this time was different. She suddenly felt less confident.

Because that cold-as-ice sister Huaiqing, the Princess Huaiqing who seemed to be able to suppress men, had never been so proactive.

The Crown Prince and his mother seemed very happy to see Huaiqing get married.

His mother even said explicitly and implicitly that there were many good men in Dafeng, not just Li Changan.

Unknowingly, the night was already deep.

Bian Bian was still in a daze under the candlelight until a breeze blew past the door and that familiar figure appeared at the door.

Lin'an stood up excitedly, his peach blossom eyes were watery, and his two little hands were clenched tightly.

"Li Changan! You big bad guy, you still think of looking for me! Humph!"

Bian Bian quickly concealed her excited expression. She put her hands on her hips, pouted her lips, and raised her snow-white chin high, looking like she was impossible to coax.

But she seemed to have forgotten that Li Changan was a master, and her Lin'an Prefecture was heavily guarded, but Li Changan could come at any time.

At this moment, Bian Bian's body lightened and she found that Li Changan had come behind her and picked her up from behind. The two of them flew out of the room in the blink of an eye.

"Your Highness, long time no see."

The two stopped by the lotus pond in the yard. Li Changan did not answer, but instead put his arms around Bianbian's slender waist from behind.

Li Changan blew on Lin'an's earlobe. Lin'an's body trembled, but she unconsciously raised her chin a little bit.

"You and Huaiqing..."

Before Lin An finished speaking, he heard Li Chang An sigh. "There are too many disputes and troubles in the capital. I want to leave."

After hearing what Li Changan said, Bian Bian suddenly stopped talking and turned around in surprise.

"you are leaving?"

Lin'an was a little at a loss. You kissed me and touched me, and now you're leaving.

Only then did Bian Bian realize that Li Changan was completely different from everyone else. No one could stop him or control him if he wanted to leave or stay.

"Can you not leave?"
