The woman ignored his sarcastic tone, instead taking a chair and sitting down in front of the Minister of Personnel, asking directly:

"Why would Lord Shen collude with the Minister of Rites to Da'an and win over a former prince to ruin my empire?"

"...?"

Even the Minister of Personnel was a little confused by this. He knew that his confidant had run into trouble and that the man had apparently been arrested.

He accepted his fate, whether Huo Xiaolong wanted to kill him or demote him.

That's how politics is; a single move can have far-reaching consequences.

He asked himself honestly, and there was nothing he couldn't afford to lose.

However, the Minister of Personnel was quite displeased by these words.

What do you mean by destroying the Great Yan's land? I am the Minister of Personnel, and I work diligently every day of the year to improve the laws, all for the sake of fairness for the people of Great Yan.

Are you now accusing me of ruining the Great Yan Dynasty?

"Why do you say that, Scholar Huo?"

"I did not approve of women taking the imperial examinations before, but I did not object!"

"It's just that there has never been such a precedent in hundreds of years. The Great Yan Dynasty at that time could not withstand such turmoil. Was it wrong for me not to take the risk?"

"Just for this reason, you're accusing me of treason?"

The nearly fifty-year-old man was so angry that his beard flew wildly, and you could see the spittle flying from his mouth even in the lamplight.

Li Jian pushed off with his toes, moving the stool back a little.

"Lord Shen, I am merely making a routine inquiry. Please calm down."

Da Ni'er's message was based on only one side of Yuwen Sinian's account. The Emperor has just begun his investigation, and there will likely be further developments in Dongyu. When Dongyu makes a move, we'll see if anyone sends a message to the Minister of Personnel.

Innocence resides not only in people's hearts,

There are also evidence items.

Sharp Sword never trusted anyone who posed even the slightest threat to Long'er.

She only believes what she sees.
