Every time Zhao Xun reviews a memorial, he puts it aside. At this time, Lu Bojiang, who is standing beside him, will pick it up and take a look. If there is no problem, he will stamp the official seal of the Secretariat to form a formal approval and order.

Lu Bojiang's official position is the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat, which is a false position without any real power. Of course, it depends on the situation. For example, Lu Bojiang, as the emperor's close minister, was deeply trusted and valued by Zhao Xun. The Secretariat of the Secretariat seems to be idle, but in fact, Lu Bojiang used this position to play a very important role in the court. When Zhao Xun reviewed memorials, he often asked Lu Bojiang about his opinions and often obeyed his wishes. Therefore, although the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is a false position, it still depends on who is responsible. For example, Lu Bojiang is in this position because he is valued and trusted by Zhao Xun, so it is very important.

In the early Jin Dynasty, the system of the prime minister's office was abolished, and the Secretariat was once in power. As a regular prime minister's institution, it controlled the decision-making of the order, followed the monarch's will, held the key points, issued the emperor's edict, and was the highest authority of the central government. Its chief minister, the Secretariat, was the chief prime minister under the system regulations. When the Secretariat was not permanent, the Deputy Chief Secretary, the Secretariat, was the Chief Prime Minister.

However, after the restructuring of Emperor Xuanzong, the Six Ministry, as a direct subordinate agency of the Three Provinces, became nominally the Six Ministry, began to be directly responsible to the emperor. Since then, the rights of the Three Provinces have been gradually weakened. The positions of the main officials of the Three Provinces are only added as other ministers and no longer have any real power.

Zhao Xun looked at the memorial in his hand and frowned slightly. Lu Bojiang took a look, then pretended not to know and continued his work.

This memorial was written by Li Zhongquan. In fact, it was not submitted to Zhao Xun, but recommended himself to the Secretariat to clarify his opinions. Then I hope Lu Bojiang will make a statement in front of Zhao Xun? In this way, if there is any benefit, he can get it? If there is any disadvantage? It has nothing to do with him. Unfortunately, Lu Bojiang is not fooled by him at all. He didn't even look at it, and directly transferred it to Zhao Xun.

Lu Bojiang didn't know the content, but he could guess it. Li Zhongquan seemed to speak out on the surface and dared to advise him. He acted as a gentleman. In fact, he was a complete villain who liked to report behind his back, slander, speak ill of others, and demonstrated his loyalty and greatness by belittling others.

Lu Bojiang asked in a low voice: "Master, what's wrong with this memorial?"

Zhao Xun submitted the memorial together, handed it to Lu Baijiang, and said in a low voice: "Since this memorial was given to the Secretariat, it will be left unattended."

"Yes, your Majesty."

Lu Bojiang took the memorial and opened it and looked at it. As expected, Li Zhongquan said bad things behind his back again, and scolded more than one person, Li Xun, saying that he had an affair with the generals of the Western Regions, and he was respectful to his own soldiers, and was very selfish. On the other hand, it was Qian Mingdu. Li Zhongquan scolded him for accepting bribes and ignoring the emperor's grace of appreciation and use, and was selfish...

After watching it, Lu Baijiang shook his head secretly. Li Zhongquan and Qian Mingdu were one of the five officials who first defected to Zhao Xun. They had a very good personal relationship on weekdays, and they were like brothers and sisters, and even made appointments for their children and relatives. But that's the case, Li Zhongquan secretly cursed and slandered Qian Mingdu behind the scenes. As for the reason, Lu Baijiang understood after thinking about it for a moment. Li Zhongquan, both of the seniors under Zhao Xun, were in terms of qualifications and credit.

Both are much higher than Qian Mingdu, but now, Qian Mingdu is highly valued and ranked as a senior official of the Nine Ministers. Although Li Zhongquan was granted the title of Kaiguo County and seems to be noble, his official position is still just a small head of the Ministry of Justice. His qualifications and contributions are beyond Qian Mingdu. Now the status of the two is far different. In this way, Li Zhongquan naturally lost balance in his heart and his ugly face is fully revealed.

"Baijiang, just say anything clearly, there are no outsiders here."

Zhao Xun seemed to see Lu Bojiang shaking his head.

Lu Bojiang said softly: "Emperor, Li Zhongquan repeatedly argued behind his back and attacked the ministers in the court. The ancients said that a gentleman would not speak for himself. If he let him go, he would eventually...

Zhao Xun looked at Lu Baijiang and said in a low voice: "I know what you want to say, and I understand your feelings, but Lu Baijiang, you have to understand one truth. How wise the emperors are in the past dynasties? There are always a few villains and evil people around him. Li Zhongquan may have a bad moral character, but he is still very loyal to me. This is more important than anything else."

"And, it's actually a good thing to have such a person around you, don't you think?"

Zhao Xun smiled softly, stopped talking, and continued to review the memorials.

Lu Bojiang looked at Zhao Xun and remained silent. Everyone has their own way of using people and standards for judging people. Zhao Xun said this, but Lu Bojiang felt that villains like Li Zhongquan should stay away from them. After all, a piece of stinky shit, if used well, can indeed smell others, but its odor will also affect themselves.

Xiao Lezi personally sent Li Xun away, and he was also very smart. When he left, he said to Zhao Xun, "Li Xun is kind to him and hopes to persuade him." If he said this openly, Zhao Xun would not have any suspicion."

"Li Xun, you are too brave, how can you talk to the emperor like this!"

"Although you have some of the emperor because of the Empress Dowager... but you are the king and the minister after all..."

Xiao Lezi sent him all the way and persuaded him all the way.

Li Xun did not respond from beginning to end. He understood the truth that Xiao Lezi said, but at the same time, Li Xun understood one more truth: a person is not an animal, but a person has emotions and emotions. Li Xun couldn't control what happened today and didn't want to control it.

As he walked, Li Xun suddenly stopped and looked at a place, which was Zhao Yue's residence.

The change of the throne is often cruel and ruthless. After Zhao Xun ascended the throne, he also carried out a large-scale purge and cleansing of the entire palace not only to the outside but also to the inside. As the daughter of Yang Guifei, Zhao Yue could not survive now. It was Li Xun who found Li Yi and pleaded for her. In addition, Zhao Yue was insignificant. She was blind since childhood, weak and sickly, and very pitiful. There was no threat. Therefore, Zhao Xun was generous and did not attack her. However, Zhao Yue's future life will still be very difficult and desperate. Zhao Xun will not kill her, but she will not let her go. Deathing lonely in the palace may be Zhao Yue's only way out in the future.

Xiao Lezi whispered: "I know you have a good relationship with Princess Yue, so I have given instructions that the people below dare not bully her, but..."

Speaking of this, Xiao Lezi shook her head and sighed slightly.

Li Xun knew what Xiao Lezi meant. He could only help Zhao Yue, so there was only so much he could do. He was powerless to do anything else and dared not do anything.

Li Xun said silently: "Can I see her?"

Xiao Lezi was silent for a long time and finally nodded.
