Li Zhuo has never liked morning court so much!
At this moment, he was completely overjoyed!
It’s just right, this is the feeling. As expected, as soon as Master Lu came back, he started helping me save money again.
The more Li Zhuoyue looked at Lu Chen, the more he liked him. The more he looked at him, the more he felt that all the civil and military officials in the court were a bunch of good-for-nothings.
Thinking about what Lu Chen had done during this period, Li Zhuo couldn't help but start to wonder, is it really necessary for him to continue to keep the six departments?
"Master Xu, Immortal Master Lu has already made an offer. Can you offer a higher price?"
Xu Yan was dumbfounded. How could he give a 6?
Besides, do you want to listen to what you just said? Is that something an emperor would say?
Xu Yan stared at the ministers of the other six ministries with some irritation. "Didn't we agree to unite against the enemy? Aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"
The ministers of the other six ministries also felt a little uneasy. After all, they had promised Xu Yan that they would speak for him after attending court.
But after all, they are old hands who have been working in the court for so many years. After a brief period of embarrassment, this group of people immediately adjusted their mentality.
Liang Licang smiled as he left the class and said, "Master Lu truly cares deeply about the world. He's always worried about the country and its people. Since Master Lu said that Chen Laoliu is still useful, let the Jinyiwei continue the trial."
"Master Xu, please be patient. Immortal Master Lu hasn't said that the Ministry of Justice can't be involved. If you really have something you want to ask Chen Laoliu, why not send a few people to the Jinyiwei to observe?"
During the case handling process, the Ministry of Justice had to go to other people's places to listen in. When have the people in the Ministry of Justice ever suffered such injustice?
But looking at the opinions of the ministers in the court, Xu Yan knew that he had no room for argument on this matter.
There was no way around it, since Lu Chen and the eldest princess both had accidents in the capital, and it was ultimately the Jinyiwei who found them. Their Ministry of Justice was indeed embarrassed in this matter.
Just as Xu Yan was thinking about what kind of excuse he could use to avoid looking too embarrassed, Lu Chen suddenly said, "I have a rough idea of what Lord Xu wants to ask. It's nothing more than the person behind Chen Laoliu."
As he spoke, Lu Chen pulled out Chen Laoliu's confession from his pocket, shook it in front of all the civil and military officials, and said, "This is Chen Laoliu's confession. He confessed the mastermind behind the scenes last night."
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of all the civil and military officials in the court changed.
Everyone knows that there must be a mastermind behind Chen Laoliu, and this person must be extraordinary.
Otherwise, how could a bandit who occupied the mountains and became a king be able to sneak to the foot of the imperial city with a group of subordinates without alerting anyone, and be equipped with powerful crossbows that could only be used by the army later?
These officials know better than anyone that once this person is found out, there will definitely be a bloody storm.
The emperor will absolutely not allow such a person to exist. If you dare to kidnap the imperial teacher and the eldest princess today, you may dare to mobilize the army to surround the imperial city tomorrow.
No one expected that Lu Chen would act so quickly. How long had it been since he was arrested that he had already found out the mastermind behind the scenes?
Li Zhuo was also very excited. He quickly ordered the eunuch beside him, "Present it!"
The young eunuch trotted to Lu Chen and carefully presented the confession to the emperor.
Li Zhuo took a quick look and slammed the table in anger, saying, "How audacious!"
In the ministers' impression, the good-natured Li Zhuo rarely got so angry. Many of them stretched their necks with curiosity, wanting to know what was written on the confession.
"Show this confession to the lords and let them see what kind of moral character our nobles have!"
Upon hearing this, many civil officials in the court breathed a sigh of relief.
After all this commotion, it turns out that it was the nobles who caused it. That's all fine now.
That’s right, if he can equip those bandits with powerful crossbows that are only available in the army, he must be someone who has some influence in the army.
This group of civil officials and military generals have never gotten along, so it is impossible for them to get these things.
Thinking of this, many civil officials looked at the military generals with gloating eyes.
A while ago, due to the victory on the border, many generals became arrogant. Now is the perfect opportunity to suppress their arrogance!
Chen Laoliu's confession was immediately delivered to Xu Yan, who was still in a daze at this moment.
What's going on? The Ministry of Justice has just formulated a plan to interrogate Chen Laoliu and is waiting for Xu Yan to ask for him today.
But now they tell him that not only will they not be given the people, but the Jinyiwei have already helped them find out what they want to know. This is not just a slap in the face, this is simply spitting in their faces!
Xu Yan had already discussed this with his subordinates before. Even the experienced executioners in the Ministry of Justice said that it would take at least ten days to knock Chen Laoliu's mouth open.
But look at the Jinyiwei, how efficient are they?
"Sir Xu, don't just stand there. Take a quick look at what's written on the confession." Wei Yong came up and said curiously.
The other six ministers may still have to avoid danger, but Wei Yong has no such concerns. As a doctor of the Censorate, he is qualified to participate.
Xu Yan took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then slowly opened the confession.
But after he read the confession carefully, he shuddered and closed it.
The ministers of the other six ministries had been observing him. Seeing the horror on his face, they immediately realized that many people were probably involved.
