Under the fresh sunset at dawn in summer, Chang'an City was painted with a layer of magnificent purple-red color, and a few remaining stars were sparse and gradually extinguished. The sky was filled with gorgeous clouds, and a red sun was about to burst out.

The streets were already bustling with carriages, and horse-drawn carriages were racing by the streets. Chang'an citizens who went out to make a living began to be active in every corner. This was an extremely ordinary day.

But something extraordinary happened at Danfeng Gate of Daming Palace. Daming Palace was heavily guarded, and every carriage entering and leaving was carefully searched. Because the progress was too slow, hundreds of carriages were congested outside Danfeng Gate.

Hundreds of officials waiting to enter the palace gathered together and stole the discussion about what happened. It is said that a senior officer from the Tianqi Camp was killed outside the Danfeng Gate last night. The emperor was furious and issued an order to strengthen the security measures of the Daming Palace.

This officer was Liu Yuanqing, who instigated his subordinates to kill the Jinwu Guard. Some ministers also heard about the bloody case in Dongshi last night. As the insiders spread, hundreds of ministers soon understood the whole story. The death of Liu Yuanqing is probably inseparable from the Jinwu Guard.

"The right prime minister is here!" Everyone dodged a way and put Cui Yuan's carriage in.

Cui Yuan's face was gloomy. He ignored the officials' greetings. He had just learned about the murder in Dongshi from Cui Qinggong and also received the news that Liu Yuanqing was killed last night. He immediately understood the relationship between these two things. In this way, everyone would think that it was their Jinwu Guard who took revenge on the murder.

At this moment, Cui Yuan felt like she was being knocked out and swallowed. Can he tell everyone that Liu Yuanqing had surrendered to him? No! After all, Liu Yuanqing was the first to kill people, and it was reasonable for him to be retaliated. However, Cui Yuan knew very well in his heart that he was taken on the blame, and the officers and soldiers of the Tianqi Camp hated him to the core, and a rage of being played with in his palm arose.

"Call Zhang Huan to see me!"

After a moment, Zhang Huan hurried over, and he bowed respectfully to Cui Yuanbi and said, "Meet the Prime Minister!"

Cui Yuan pointed to the large number of officials gathered behind him and said coldly: "I'll ask you, if you check one by one, how long will the official do not take to go to court? If you delay official duties, can you bear this responsibility?"

Zhang Huan calmly took out a Li Shi handwriting, "Please calm down. The bloody incident that happened in the Daming Palace last night alarmed the emperor. The emperor ordered me to conduct strict investigations to prevent similar things from happening again. This is Your Majesty's handwriting. My subordinates only follow the execution. If the right minister is dissatisfied, he can ask the emperor for instructions.

Cui Yuan couldn't say a word. He stared at Zhang Huan tightly, and the cold light floated in his eyes. After a long time, he suddenly smiled faintly and said, "My nephew is indeed a good skill! He actually cut off my way."

Zhang Huanyi smiled, and he bowed to Cui Yuangong and said, "Where! Uncle Cui Shi has a lot of roads, why do you have to take this one?"

Cui Yuan's eyes slowly narrowed, "I thought it was wrong. I like to walk all the way to the dark. Whoever dares to block my way in front will break his head!"

"Uncle Cui Shi must be careful. Maybe there is a cliff ahead!"

At this time, Pei Jun's carriage also slowly drove up. He opened the curtain and smiled at Cui Yuan, "Since the emperor has a sage, Cui Xiang should wait patiently!"

"The two prime ministers are busy with official duties, so they dare not stop them for a long time!" Zhang Huan turned around and waved his hand, ordering the soldiers to let go.

"What, General Zhang doesn't investigate me?"

Seeing that his carriage was unobstructed, Cui Yuan sneered and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will impeach you for dereliction of duty?"

Zhang Huan smiled faintly, waved the edict in his hand and said, "Your Majesty's edict is very clear. The cabinet ministers are not within the scope of investigation, so their subordinates will naturally follow the order."

The Daming Palace's investigation of all officials entering the palace lasted for an hour before it gradually came to an end. The palace gate was immediately closed, and teams of soldiers patrolled back and forth in the palace, carefully checking every corner.

Then the Li clan's imperial edict was issued, and Liu Yuanqing died for his life and was specially conferred the title of General Dingyuan and recommended his son as the captain of the accompanying Rong. The case was left unresolved.

However, Li Shi's vague attitude triggered various speculations from all officials. Things should not be that simple. This is very likely to be the first confrontation between Li Shi and Cui Yuan. It is just that there are many dark stories behind it, and no one can see the truth of the matter.

At noon, a carriage came quickly outside the government office of Menxia Province. It was Chu Xingshui, the Minister of Justice. His government office was located in the Imperial City Provincial Committee of Shangshu, so he didn't know about this in the morning. He had just learned about it until the news gradually spread out.

In just a few months, Chu Xingshui lost weight a lot, as if he had become ten years older. He suffered a big blow two months ago.

The cause was that Zhao Yuanchao, the escort of the two Huai Rivers, should have been nominated for the next escort of the two Huai Rivers, but Zhang Ruohao was beaten and nominated Wang Jian, the governor of Yueyang County, as the governor of Lianghuai Rivers, and received unanimous support from Cui Yuan, Wang Ang, and Yang Qi. Pei Jun and Wei Yan also remained neutral in this matter.

Wang Jian is Wang Ang's brother. His role as the escort of the two Huaihe Rivers was equivalent to snatching the Chu family in the Huainan, prompting the Wang family to intervene in the two Huai Rivers, and undoubtedly showed his ambition to intervene in the two Huai Rivers. However, in this way, the focus of the Wang family's attention also shifted from Hedong to Lianghuai Rivers, causing Zhang Ruohao, who was facing the family's civil strife, to breathe.

Among the seven major families, the Chu family has always been an alien. It lives in a corner and cannot be compared with the Central Plains families whose disciples are all over the world. It has the weakest power in the court. Although Chu Xingshui firmly opposes, the fact that Wang Jin was appointed as the escort of the two Huai Rivers can no longer be changed. In addition, Han Huang became the Western Zhejiang Observer and the Governor of Wu County, which is like a stab in the lower abdomen and back. The crisis faced by the Chu family is even more serious than that of the Zhang family.

Under such circumstances, Chu Xingshui resolutely defected to the left prime minister Pei Jun, betrothed his daughter Chu Ran to Pei Mingyao, the second son of Pei Jun, and promised to allocate 200,000 guan to Hebei every year.

Chu Xingshui quickly walked into Pei Jun's court room. The guards at the door knew about his relationship with Pei Xiang, so they did not stop him and let him enter the room.

At this moment, Pei Jun was writing in the room, and two thick stacks of official documents were piled up on the table. He was the servant of the disciple. Although he did not have the final decision-making power, he had the right to review the documents of various departments of the Shangshu Province. The official documents of the various departments of the Shangshu Province must come to him for judgment first, and those who fail the qualification will be sent back and sent again.

Pei Jun had just finished a document and suddenly felt something. He saw Chu Xingshui standing outside, waving his hand to his pen-pian, and ordered him not to speak out.

"Here comes, what are you doing sneakily?"

Pei Jun put down his pen and stood up with a smile, "Does Brother Chu want to steal the letter on my wall again?"

Chu Xingshui also stepped into the door with a smile. He glanced at Yan Zhenqing's handwriting on the wall and pretended to be angry: "Mr. Yan Lu is your father-in-law. I have coaxed him. How many words can you not get? I have to do it so stingy."

"Oh! My father-in-law,"

Pei Jun smiled bitterly, just because he didn't agree with him in the court last time, he turned his face to himself, ordered him not to come to the door, and ordered him to return all the calligraphy and paintings of the past.

"Forget it, let's not mention him anymore. Brother Chu came today for the Danfeng Sect in the morning?"

Chu Xingshui's smile was calm, he nodded, and said with a faint smile: "Don't Zuo Xiang think this is an opportunity for us?"
