In the court, in addition to the Cui family's faction's disagreement on the marriage, there was another matter that was also criticized by many.
Since Yong'an Palace was under siege, fighting broke out inside the palace.
Zhao Xin did not attend the court, and he could not hear the criticism from Cui's followers at the morning court.
but……
Soon, the ministers' memorials were delivered to Zhao Xin.
He looked through it and found that in addition to opposing the marriage with the Nan family, he also reported that his act of sending troops to besiege Yong'an Palace was contrary to filial piety.
Of course, the main responsibility lies with his subordinates.
It is said that Li Cunxiao rode his horse at high speed in the palace, violated the palace rules, and slaughtered the Huben Camp and Yulin Army on a large scale, showing his bloodthirsty nature.
Yu Huatian is arbitrary and tyrannical, and his methods are cruel and bloody. He will definitely be the second traitor Wang Jin, becoming a eunuch who brings chaos to the palace and the court.
When mentioning Liu Muzhi, he was criticized for interfering in politics without any reputation and slandering the emperor, and was actually a treacherous and treacherous person with evil intentions.
Regarding these three important ministers and generals under his command, the ministers engaged in a verbal battle, which was much more intense than the issue of marriage.
Zhao Xin sneered coldly and picked out a few memorials to show Liu Muzhi.
"I was wondering why a memorial would be sent here for the first time. It turns out Cui Cen wanted to show me this."
Zhao Xin knew it was Cui Cen's counterattack, but he felt it was more than that.
Sure enough, a eunuch came in hurriedly with a look of panic on his face.
"Your Majesty, during the morning court session, the ministers were arguing fiercely about the Yong'an Palace incident. Prime Minister Cui stated that General Li's previous actions violated the laws of the Qin Empire.
"I ordered the Imperial Household to stop General Li from leading his horse. General Li is currently in a stalemate with the men led by Cui Wenhao!"
Zhao Xin's expression suddenly turned cold. It seemed that this was Cui Cen's real action.
Cui Wenhao was the nephew of Cui Cen, and his father Cui Luan was the Imperial Doctor.
Although Cui Luan and Cui Cen have some grudges in private, he is still on Cui Cen's side.
Cui Wenhao was the Minister of the Imperial Household, in charge of the emperor's carriages and horses. His more important duty was to manage the government's animal husbandry.
He has control over weapons and horses. Li Cunxiao wants to organize and integrate his soldiers and guards, but how can he do it without horses and weapons?
Seeing Zhao Xin's gloomy expression, Liu Muzhi said:
"Your Majesty, please calm down for now.
At this time, Your Majesty only needs to wait and see what happens, and leave everything to the Grand Marshal to handle.
I will go find General Li right now and ask him not to act rashly."
This Cui Wenhao can’t be hurt now!
Although Liu Muzhi had previously informed Li Cunxiao, he was somewhat worried because of his impulsive personality.
"Well, go ahead."
Watching Liu Muzhi leave, Zhao Xin's face was as gloomy as water, and the suppressed anger in his eyes did not dissipate.
He also knew in his heart that matters in the court were not something that could be resolved by simple and rough fighting and killing.
Now Cui Cen has fought back, using state affairs to put pressure on Zhao Xin, making him feel like he is in a passive position.
This feeling is extremely unpleasant!
Half an hour later, a spy from the Western Factory came to report:
"Your Majesty, after Mr. Liu left the palace, Cui Zhihan and his men took him away!
They said he was meddling in politics without a clear name, violating the law, and that he should be brought in for questioning and investigation!"
"Bang!" Zhao Xin slapped the imperial desk and stood up suddenly.
"Cui Zhihan?! Is he so bold?!"
Did he want to use the same trick he used against Kou Huairen and put Liu Muzhi in the imperial prison again?
Zhao Xin's eyes were cold, and anger and murderous intent were surging.
In his anger, he slammed the imperial desk down, leaving cracks like spider webs on it.
Then, without any warning, there was a loud "boom", and the fine huanghuali wood imperial desk was split in pieces and collapsed.
Even the furious Zhao Xin was startled and glanced at his palm in surprise.
He had practiced the "Nine-Transformation Golden Body Technique" but had not yet experienced its power. Such a hard table could not withstand the power of his palm.
The spy kneeling on the ground was also startled. He sensed the emperor's angry and murderous aura, which made him feel extremely pressured.
Even though I know this emotion is not directed at him.
But Zhao Xin didn't care about his own strength at the moment. He went to find Cui Zhihan with a stern face.
No matter what, he must not be allowed to take Liu Muzhi away!
The murderous intent in Zhao Xin's heart grew stronger when he thought that they would torture Liu Muzhi like they did Kou Huairen.
The Cui family is so rampant!
There has never been a moment when Zhao Xin wanted to eradicate Cui Cen and his gang more strongly than now!
But as Zhao Xin just walked out of the Qinzheng Hall, he saw Nan Cang walking towards him.
Nan Cang looks to be in his fifties, with gray hair and a tall stature. Years of fighting on the battlefield have made him look iron-blooded and murderous.
Nan Cang seldom entered the palace. Since the new emperor ascended the throne, it seemed that he had only been seen on the day of the coronation ceremony.
Seeing the tall young man in dragon robe in front of him, Nan Cang's eyes flashed slightly, and he felt a little more satisfied with him.
He was dignified, with bright eyes, and a cold and murderous aura emanating from his entire body, displaying the majesty of an emperor.
His temperament was completely different from the emperor he met at the coronation ceremony.
It is unknown whether the emperor has finally grown up or he no longer wants to hide it.
Nan Cang only knew that the two events of seizing power in the palace and eliminating the eunuchs did not seem to be entirely the result of his subordinates' planning and deployment.
In fact, if the emperor had not rescued Kou Huairen, even if the emperor passed his test, Nan Cang might not have gone to the palace to meet him in person.
But now that he had seen the emperor in person, Nan Cang felt that the trip was not in vain.
"I am the old minister Nan Cang, paying my respects to Your Majesty." Nan Cang stepped forward and bowed.
When Zhao Xin saw Nan Cang, his expression softened a bit and he personally raised his hand to help him up.
"No need to be so polite, Commander. Please stand up."
Nan Cang stood up as he was told. Seeing the emperor's anxious expression, he asked:
"Is there something urgent, Your Majesty?"
Zhao Xin's eyes turned colder. "Cui Zhihan has taken Liu Muzhi away. I need to go to the Imperial Prison."
After all, the Cui family is not someone else, and Yu Huatian is injured and recuperating. If he sends Wan Chao, he may not be able to successfully take Liu Muzhi away.
Moreover, he wanted to see with his own eyes what Cui Zhihan dared to do to Liu Muzhi in front of him!
Cui Zhihan actually took Liu Muzhi away?
Nan Cang thought about it and knew what the Cui family wanted to do.
Nan Cang said, "Your Majesty, how can you trouble Your Majesty to go in person for such a trivial matter? It would be better to leave it to this old minister. I will ensure that Mr. Liu returns safely."
Zhao Xin didn't hesitate when he heard him say this. He smiled faintly and nodded.
"Okay, then I'll trouble the general to make the trip for me."
Nan Cang said no more and bowed to take his leave.
Looking at his back as he walked away, Zhao Xin's expression was no longer as cold and angry as before.
Because he knew that if Nan Cang went there, Liu Muzhi would be safe.
His visit to the palace today was enough to let Zhao Xin know that he had truly agreed to cooperate.
Cui Cen put pressure on him, right?
Zhao Xin narrowed his eyes and sneered, then let Nan Cang teach this old bastard a lesson!
