Faced with Zhao Xin's questioning, Lu Qian showed panic for the first time. He opened his mouth, but didn't know how to answer for a long time.

Tong Guanyue sneered and was about to speak when Zhao Xin suddenly looked at him and shouted coldly, "Shut up! You dare to interrupt me? I will kill your entire clan!"

Tong Guanyue raised his eyebrows as if he wanted to mock, but facing Zhao Xin's fierce majesty, he suddenly felt a sense of fear, as if he was a small animal being stared at by a wild beast.

My throat felt dry and I couldn't speak.

Seeing him like this, Zhao Xin showed a hint of disdain.

Then he pointed at the group of famous scholars standing on either side of him, clicked his finger with a sneer and said, "Do you know what I was talking about with these gentlemen you call accomplices to the evil before you came?"

Lu Qian and others were stunned when they heard this.

And that group of famous scholars couldn't help but reveal a hint of sarcasm in their smiles. Of course, this sarcasm was definitely not directed at Zhao Xin, but at these ignorant young people.

Zhao Xin didn't really want Lu Qian and the others to answer, but instead sneered sarcastically, "If I were to tell you something, you would definitely not believe me. So let you, the virtuous ones, speak for yourselves."

"Dr. Jiang, you go tell them."

Zhao Xin suddenly pointed at Jiang Banyan, who was standing aside with his head huddled. The latter was stunned when he heard this.

But he still had to bite the bullet and stand up to Lu Qian and others and said, "Your Majesty is discussing with the wise men how to prepare relief for the impending drought in Jizhou, Qizhou, and the capital.

His Majesty said that he had previously sent people to visit these three places and learned that it had not rained in these three places for three months.

Do you think we have any good ideas?

We believe that this is a case of treachery within the country, to the point of causing a sympathy between heaven and man..."

"Ahem, that's enough!"

Zhao Xin interrupted him with a light cough, then waved his hand and told him to continue standing aside.

Jiang Banyan looked bewildered, then realized that he almost said something wrong, and quickly lowered his head and turned back to the crowd. The other celebrities around him looked at him and sighed.

That look of disgust on his face seemed to be lowering the average standard of the group of celebrities.

Jiang Banan also felt a little embarrassed and sighed in his heart.

I swore that this time when I returned, I would resign from my position as a doctor of the Five Classics, and then shut myself in to study, not daring to do anything else.

The world is becoming increasingly difficult to survive in nowadays.

However, the expressions of Cui's party members were a little embarrassed at this time.

Lu Qian also looked a little dazed.

Zhao Xin sneered again, "Lu Qian, let me ask you, are you aware that the states surrounding the capital haven't seen any rain for several months?

Does Cui Zhihan, the Minister of Agriculture, know about this?"

Lu Qian came back to his senses, subconsciously glanced at the emperor, and then said with some shame: "I know, but I don't know whether the Minister of Agriculture knows."

He had always called himself Lu Qian before, but at this moment he subconsciously used the title "minister".

Everyone in Cui's party noticed this change and looked at him in surprise.

Tong Guanyue was even more furious and said, "Brother, don't be deceived by the clever words of this foolish emperor. He only said these things himself.

And these people are just accomplices who help the evildoers..."

"Watching the moon."

Lu Qian suddenly sighed and said, "No need to say more."

"What?"

Tong Guanyue could hardly believe his ears.

He didn't expect that Lu Qian, who was the most loyal to his teacher, was persuaded by just a few words from the emperor.

And that Dr. Jiang actually deceived Lu Qian with just a few nonsense words.

Lu Qian didn't look at him, but smiled bitterly and said, "Guanyue, don't you understand?"

"What?"

Tong Guanyue was stunned again.

Lu Qian turned his head and looked at him and said, "Guanyue, whether His Majesty said it is true or not is not important anymore. What is important is not whether His Majesty did anything or not, but that we have indeed forgotten our duties for a long time.

If you can't do your job well, how can you win the hearts of the people?

I am at a loss as to what to do, I cannot make a decision when I should, how can I protect myself?"

After that, he laughed bitterly again, "It's not that I've been bewitched, I just know that we've lost."

"What's all this mess?"

Tong Guanyue was greatly upset by what he said and was about to yell at him.

Lu Qian smiled and patted his shoulder, then turned to look at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, you are right. I hold a high position in the court and am supported by the people, but I have failed to care about the people.

I have almost forgotten the ideals I once had. This is probably the reason why my Cui Party failed?

But Your Majesty, we are so caught up in the court struggles all day long that we have forgotten about the world. Isn't this because of Your Majesty's constraints?

If Your Majesty had not been watching us constantly, we would not have to walk on thin ice every day, focusing all our attention on this court."

Hearing what he said, Zhao Xin suddenly lost interest in speaking.

Because he knew that Lu Qian had clearly repented at this moment, but he would rather say some twisted logic to numb himself, and then die with Cui Dang.

I can't help but think of a saying from later generations: No one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep.

Although this person has some talents, but... never mind, I am not short of one or two talented people.

He immediately snorted coldly, "Stubborn!"

Then he waved his hand and said, "Since you want to be loyal, then I will grant your wish!

Come, give him a glass of wine to fulfill his reputation for loyalty!

The rest of you, capture them all and kill them without mercy!"

Lu Qian was shocked when he heard this, then he leaned forward and bowed, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your help!"

Cao Xiong waved his hand slightly, and soon a eunuch came out holding a black lacquer plate. There was nothing else on the plate except a wine jar.

There is a glass of emerald green wine in the wine bottle.

Everyone in Cui's party was shocked when they saw this.
