As soon as this person got older, his energy began to be weak. Lu Zhen, who was over 70 years old, had a deep understanding of this.

In the past two years, he was able to do all his government affairs from morning to night without any fatigue. However, in the past two years, especially since this year, as long as he has been busy for half a day, he will inevitably feel tired, and then he will become procrastinated. This is a manifestation of insufficient energy.

The only way is to take a break after noon, so as to ensure that you still have the spare time to handle government affairs in the afternoon and evening.

The same is true for coming to Japan today. It was almost noon. After eating, Lu Zhen lay down in the house of his own government office and glared. As a result, he was called by his companion as soon as he fell asleep and reported a rather amazing news: "Master, something big happened on the Qiu Jue execution ground. The seventh prince, the governor of Yangzhou, Li Ling, the prince of Dingxi Hou, suddenly led people to make trouble, preventing them from executing the execution, and even said that there was something wrong with Qiu Jue in the Ministry of Justice..."

Hearing these words, the old man was a little confused, and even thought it was a dream he had during sleep. It was not until the other party finished speaking and looked at him, and he was shocked: "Are you telling it seriously?"

"How dare the young man arrange such a big thing at will... Now this news has spread in all the yamen in the capital, and it will be reported to His Majesty soon..."

"The Seventh Prince...Li Ling... Why did they do such a bold and reckless thing..." Lu Zhen couldn't sit still anymore, suddenly stood up, walked in the room for two steps, and then his expression changed, "Go, let's go to the execution ground to inquire about further news, hurry up." Now the emperor is still having lunch break like himself, but no one disturbs him, but after the time comes, the situation is different.

It was not until the confidant responded that he slowly breathed out after he was silent: "If this matter is verified, it would be an opportunity. As for the Ministry of Justice, there are indeed more tricks over there than I think..."

However, after the meal, the confidant sent further news. After listening to the report, the expression on the left prime minister's face became more and more serious. At this time, a subordinate hurriedly reported: "Prime Minister Lu, your Majesty, please come and see you."

"I understand, wait for me to change my clothes." Lu Zhen nodded. At this time, the emperor suddenly summoned him, obviously for this matter. While changing his casual clothes to official clothes, he had already made up his mind. Then he followed the eunuch who came to pass the message and headed straight to the palace not far away.

When he came to the emperor, he just glanced at him and Lu Zhen saw the anger on the emperor's face. This time the matter was really big enough, and it was not his fault for being furious. The other ministers who were called in the side hall also looked solemn and worried, but silent, and none of them spoke.

When Wang Han saw him coming, he nodded his head a little and no other reaction. As for the Yongwang Sun Lin who stood slightly behind, his face was so gloomy that it could drip into water. If the emperor had not suddenly ordered him to summon him, he would have taken people to the execution ground, and killed all the guys who were going to ruin his major affairs!

Seeing Lu Zhen coming, the emperor, who was silent and silent, ordered: "Come here, arrange a seat for Lu Qing."

In front of the emperor, ordinary ministers did not have seats, and only senior, meritorious, and old ministers like him could give him seats. The eunuchs brought up by the eunuchs were not the backrest chairs that could be seated with a big golden knife, but a round brocade pier, which was not comfortable to sit, but this was enough to reflect his identity.

Lu Zhen did not refuse, and sat down safely after thanking him. Then he glanced at the emperor and whispered: "Is it because of Qiu Jue that Your Majesty summoning me to see you at this time?"

The emperor glanced at the seventeen or eighteen ministers present, and said in a stern tone: "It seems that you have all received the news. The major events of the Qiu Jue are related to the majesty of the court. Today, it was such a stir. It really opened my eyes and gave me a face!"

Just this sentence shocked all the ministers below, and King Yong knelt down immediately: "My son knows that his crime is because his minister is not doing his job well, which leads to this incident. Don't worry, my father, I will send someone to take down all the madmen who disrupted the execution ground and punish him severely..."

"Absurd!" The emperor slapped the imperial case, "Now this matter has become known to everyone. You are still thinking about covering up. Do you really think that everyone is a fool?"

"Your Majesty calms down. I think Your Highness Yong is also in a hurry and just wants to share your worries. Moreover, I think that those madmen have indeed committed serious mistakes and must be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to face the ears and calm the people's hearts!" At that moment, the Minister of Works also stood up and said.

As he spoke, several ministers immediately expressed their opinions one after another, and they agreed that they had to take down the troubles quickly and calm the situation first. Although these people were trying their best to show that they thought so because of the majesty of the court, the monarchs and ministers present actually understood very well in their hearts that they were talking to King Yong, and they were the King Yong’s party.

Lu Zhen was not in a hurry to speak, but instead glanced forward. Now, there was only one person in the court who could stand further forward than him, the left prime minister, - Prince Sun Cong.

At this time, the prince, who was supposed to be in the same power as King Yong, looked calm and had no intention of participating in it. Not only him, but also the prince's party, such as the important officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the Censorate, were only on the wall and had no end to do so, and he took the opportunity to step on the King Yong's feet.

"It seems that the prince has really grown a lot now and is steady." Lu Zhen couldn't help but exclaim in his heart.

The matter is indeed very subtle at the moment. It seems that the situation of King Yong is not very good. It seems that as long as someone jumps out and pushes him, the problems existing in the Ministry of Justice can be put on his head. As long as the crime is confirmed, King Yong will inevitably be greatly affected in the fight for the throne, and he may be eliminated.

However, this is just a superficial situation after all, and the deeper things are only in the emperor's thoughts. What if he suspected that all this was deliberately targeting King Yong? At this time, the prince suddenly stood up to attack King Yong, then his position in the emperor's heart would inevitably plummet, and maybe it would be a result of both losses.

Therefore, at this time, the smartest reaction for the prince and his followers is to not react at all, and watch the fire from the other side. Otherwise, once you speak, you might even give King Yong a chance to turn things around.

But sometimes, things are not something you can do as you want. Just when the prince is still thinking about it, the emperor looks at him: "Crown Prince, what do you think this matter should be handled?" If you don't take the initiative to speak, then just call the name and answer.

The prince was obviously a little shocked, but he quickly calmed down: "Return to the father, I thought there was something strange about this matter, and it was not necessarily a cause for no reason, but I also firmly believed that the sixth brother would not do anything illegal or illegal..." This was like not saying anything, but just when the emperor frowned slightly, he quickly added, "However, I think the sixth brother said something very right, and it is urgent to calm the situation first and take down all the people who were in trouble in the court, otherwise the imperial court's majesty would be damaged and the father would be implicated."

When the prince spoke, many officials followed him up, and the meaning was the same: that was, he had to convict all those who were in the court and then continue to be executed.

It was not until these people said almost everything that Lu Zhen stood up and bent down to salute: "Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be concluded so hasty. I must first find out the cause and effect before I can determine the right and wrong. I have heard someone carefully explain before coming that this time it was Sun Lin, the Seventh Prince's son, Li Ling, the governor of Yangzhou Prefecture, Xiao Chengzhi, the Crown Prince of Dingxi, and other court officials suddenly came forward to make trouble and stopped the execution. At the same time, they have pointed out the key to the problem, which is that the Ministry of Justice is suspected of killing innocent people by mistake, and has won the recognition of many people around.

"If you really force someone to convict him or her randomly, I am afraid that the people will be unable to convince you, and the majesty of the court will be greatly weakened. If you really want to reverse the situation, the only way is to find out the truth..."

"Prime Minister Lu, have you ever thought that this would make the court more passive and how much time would it take? How can the major events of the Qiu Jue be changed at will?" Although King Yong was panicked, he didn't care about anything else at this time and immediately opposed, "The Qiu Jue was completely finalized by officials from the Ministry of Justice after nearly two months of busy schedule. There is no problem, how can he change them at will?"

"Your Highness, since there is no problem, why not check it?" Lu Zhen looked at him with a smile and asked the Yongwang back.

The prince glanced at Lu Zhen who suddenly stood out in a strange way, but there was a hint of joy between his eyebrows. He immediately shook his own people behind him. The Minister of Rites immediately stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I think such a big thing has happened. Since it has happened, it is really not a rough solution for the sake of the fame of the court. It should be found out everything."

"But, this matter is so important. Who is qualified and capable of finding out?" The Yongwang party immediately jumped out to check and balance, but this reason has become a bit far-fetched.

Lu Zhen was already confident: "It is related to two princes, one Ministry of Justice, and dozens of officials. Now all officials in the court are afraid that they will be powerless to do anything about such a big case. Therefore, I think that your Majesty should be inquired about this matter personally and declare the people in the capital to calm the rumors and face them."

When the prince heard this, he was even more surprised: "Lao Liu has offended Lao Er recently. He is so active today, which is better than I thought."

King Yong's face turned pale and his body trembled slightly. He wanted to object, but when he spoke, he didn't know what to say, so he could only bow his head silently and wait for the answer.
