Mingzheng Hall.

Dozens of ministers have gathered together.

Li Xun walked into the hall and looked around. The ministers were gathering together in groups of three or two, whispering.

Zhao Xun sat upright and quietly observed the ministers below. His seemingly calm eyes and expressions, but his left hand unconsciously held a round jade tightly, which was a subconscious bloom of tension.

When Zhao Xun saw Li Xun coming in, he waved to him immediately.

Li Xun quickly walked to Zhao Xun and asked in a low voice: "Master, what's the situation?"

Zhao Xun pointed to the items in front of him and said weakly: "You can see it yourself."

There are two items on the table, one is an imperial edict and another memorial.

Li Xun first picked up the memorial and watched it. Wang Wenfang informed the situation of the Left Prime Minister Li Xun. Cheng Xisi had issued a manifesto in Yizhou, saying that the current emperor's throne was inappropriate and planned to usurp the throne. The King of Wing Zhao He was the legal heir to the throne. He called on all the princes in the world to raise an army together. With the purity of the country, Cheng Xisi threatened that he had an 18-year-old child in his hand, which was the King of Wing Zhao He who left his bloodline alone.

Li Xun looked at the imperial edict and suddenly had bad thoughts in his heart.

Li Xun quickly picked up the imperial edict and opened it to see his face suddenly looked ugly.

The imperial edict was written by Zhao Zhi himself, meaning that after Zhao He ascended the throne, he should not fight against each other, but should not be close to wise ministers and stay away from villains, and continue to unite the Yang clan and the poor family, block many aristocratic families from the court, and must not let these people enter the core of power and disrupt national affairs.

This imperial edict is the same as the one in Wang Qili's hand, and there is no political affairs hall to criticize the winner. This means that neither of these two imperial edicts is a formal edict, but is just a secret edict sent to the wing king Zhao He.

Wang Qili's imperial edict directly stated that Zhao Zhi wanted to pass the throne to Zhao He. Although this imperial edict did not have any words to pass the throne to Zhao He, it also indirectly proved this meaning inside and outside the words.

"This imperial edict is false."

Li Xun said firmly to Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun looked up at Li Xun, and his eyes were bright.

Li Xun's voice was very loud. When the ministers below heard it, they stopped whispering, and all their eyes were looking at Li Xun.

Wang Chong smiled and said, "This is not easy to understand."

Li Xun sneered: "Since Cheng Xisi rebelled, he naturally needs to find a reason and an excuse. Lord Wang, what's wrong with this?"

Chen Hu, who was beside Wang Chong, spoke out: "We have seen this imperial edict, and it is indeed the handwriting of the late emperor."

Li Xun said in a quiet voice: "There are not many people in the world who are good at imitating handwriting. What can a single imperial edict of unknown origin represent?"

Speaking of this, Li Xun narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Hu, and said in a dark voice: "Can you say that Lord Chen and Lord Wang have believed that this imperial edict was made by the late emperor?"

Chen Hu and Wang Chong's eyes flashed and did not say anything, but the eyes that looked at Li Xun became gloomy.

Some people are ready to move outside the court and make misconduct, and some people are also trying to disrupt the situation in the court, take advantage of the situation in the troubled waters, and achieve their own unspeakable goal.

"What Li Xiangguo said is reasonable. This imperial edict must be fake. We must not be fooled by a false imperial edict, which will cause Cheng Xisi to secretly laugh at him."

Xie Shiyuan stood up at this time and expressed his words to agree with Li Xun.

"Since Cheng Xisi chose to rebel, he must find an excuse and reason to send troops. He was rude and angry with the whole world. Since this imperial edict came from Cheng Xisi, it is absolutely untrustworthy."

Liu Zhigu, Liu Congji and others stood up one after another and spoke.

Yang Daolin got up and came to the middle, bowed to Zhao Xun and said, "Your Majesty, since the ministers have made a conclusion, there is no need to talk about the imperial edict. Let's discuss how to deal with Cheng Xisi's rebellion."

Yang Daolin has been very low-key during this period and has been recuperating at home and rarely goes to the Political Affairs Hall. This is his second public appearance in nearly three months.

Zhao Xun breathed a sigh of relief. The late emperor left a will to pass the throne to Zhao He, the wing king, which had been widely circulated before. Now he got such an imperial edict from Cheng Xisi, which made all the ministers discuss it, which made Zhao Xun feel a little panicked for a moment.

Zhao Xun glanced at Li Xun, and a hint of gratitude flashed in his eyes. Suddenly, his several close ministers were no longer by his side. If Li Xun hadn't explained and saved the siege for him, he would have been a little difficult for him to step down.

This topic is too sensitive, and Zhao Xun was not able to explain it personally for a while. There is a saying that goes well, and the explanation is to cover it up. If you say too much, it will only make others feel that Zhao Xun is guilty and covering it up.

Zhao Xun said to Yang Daolin: "What good advice does Yang Prime Minister have to teach me?"

Yang Daolin said in a deep voice: "I suggest that I immediately summon the world and denounce Cheng Xisi as a great rebellious person and rebellion against him."

Zhao Xun pondered for a moment, then said softly: "This imperial edict..."

Zhao Xun obviously wanted to ask Yang Daolin whether he would issue another imperial edict, refuting that it was false to correct his reputation.

Yang Daolin said indifferently: "What is the words of the rebel minister?"

Yang Daolin's meaning was very clear. The court had taken the lead in summoning the world and designated Cheng Xisi as a rebellious minister. In this way, who would believe the words of a rebellious minister?

Hearing this, Zhao Xun was shocked and said intimately, Yang Daolin is indeed an old Taoist. If you don’t take the initiative to defend yourself, the best explanation will be, and you can truly believe in others.

After a political decision is made, the next step is military.

Zhao Xun glanced around and saw Li Zhong not seeing him.

"The Zuo Prime Minister hasn't come back yet?"

"Your Majesty, the Zuo Prime Minister is approaching the city that was leaving at dusk, and the slave has sent people to chase after you. It will take at least two hours to go back and forth."

Xiao Lezi said quickly.

Li Zhong asked for half a month off and was about to go back to his hometown. Who would have thought that Cheng Xisi had just left, and everyone was caught off guard.

Zhao Xun frowned slightly. When Li Zhong was there, he always sang against him. He was very disliked. However, now that Li Zhong left, Zhao Xun could not find someone to discuss military affairs, or could not find a general who could trust enough to trust.

As for military affairs, what Zhao Xun values ​​most is actually Li Zhong.

"Emperor, I suggest that you issue an edict immediately, ordering the governor of Caizhou, Huang Baichuan, and the governor of Chuzhou, Wang Huaili, to send troops to quell the rebellion."

Helian Chu made suggestions.

"Cheng Xisi has not many soldiers and horses in his hands, less than 10,000 people, and his strength is not strong. With the strength of Huang Baichuan and Wang Huaili, I believe that the rebellion will be quelled soon."
