After Li Zhi left, the hall was silent, and everyone was still breathless and did not dare to breathe. They stood in their own position and did not move at all. Of course, they also forgot to send the emperor respectfully.

Li Zhi probably doesn't care much about it now.

No one in the hall thought that things would progress to this point, and the process was too fast, and they had no time to react, let alone stop them, and they still felt that they were still dreaming.

Is everything that happened before an illusion?

But there are indeed four people missing in the hall!

The beads of sweat as big as beans slid down from Xu Jingzong's forehead and dripped onto the ground. Wang Dejian behind him hurriedly stepped forward to support him. Regardless of whether it had anything to do with him, he was not young anymore. Facing such a scene, he was completely unprepared and his body might not be able to bear it.

The two prime ministers of the dynasty were taken down by the emperor at the same time, and there was no sign of any sign of being able to move the Zhongshu Ling. Not to mention the Tang Dynasty, even in history, this was extremely rare.

The most important thing is that things should not go to this point, because there is no need.

But it happened.

Unbelievable!

I could not expect this to happen, even Han Yi was stunned for this matter.

"well....!"

Suddenly, I heard a sigh, very light, but everyone in the hall heard it. Because it was too quiet, everyone looked for the sound and saw Li Ji slowly walking out of the hall, and walked out under the staring of everyone's dazed eyes.

Lu Chengqing and Master Xu looked at each other and walked out of the hall together.

The ministers then stepped out one after another, but throughout the process, it was very quiet, no one whispered, and everyone walked out very quietly.

From Tai Chi Hall to outside the imperial city, no one spoke. When they left outside the palace, they all got on the carriage and did not communicate with each other, which shows the seriousness of this matter.

"Shu Lu, please stay!"

As soon as Lu Chengqing got on the carriage, he heard someone shouting outside the carriage. He couldn't help but sigh slightly and said, "Wei Zhongcheng, please get in the car."

After a while, Wei Siqian got on the carriage. As soon as he got on the carriage, he asked, "Shangshu Lu, why did you pull me? As the Chief Censor, I should have spoken."

Lu Chengqing raised his hand slightly and signaled, "Wei Zhongcheng, please sit down."

Wei Siqian snorted and sat down.

Lu Chengqing said: "Does Wei Zhongcheng want to follow the situation and re-open the case of Zhengyi?"

Wei Siqian was stunned and said, "This is not a way to go with the flow. Since there is new evidence, it should be reviewed again. Does Shangshu Lu think that something is wrong with doing this?"

The Bi Zhengyi case is definitely a shame for the Censorate. Wei Siqian was not in Chang'an at that time. Now that Du Zhenglun has raised it, he of course plans to overturn the case for Bi Zhengyi, Wang Yifang and others.

Lu Chengqing sighed softly: "If we judge right or wrong, I wonder what crimes should Wei Zhongcheng think Du Zhenglun and Li Yifu be punished?"

Wei Siqian hesitated for a moment and said, "This will have to be confirmed after review."

Lu Chengqing said again: "Then do you think Your Majesty will hand over this case to the Censorate?"

Wei Siqian said: "Shangshu Lu may say something bluntly."

Lu Chengqing said: "In theory, this matter should be submitted to the Censorate for review, but I said I would not."

“Why?”

"It's very simple. The Bi Zhengyi case is very involved, even----!" Lu Chengqing turned his head to look at Wei Siqian and said, "If you implicate Your Majesty, you need to investigate. If you find Your Majesty, what are you going to do?"

Wei Siqian was speechless.

Lu Chengqing said: "Do you think Your Majesty really know nothing? Your Majesty is very clear in his heart, but Your Majesty also has a hidden secret. Your Majesty must be concerned about the court and the entire country, and involve so many important people. If you continue to investigate, it will become uncontrollable. Your Majesty can only endure it. But now, even if you don't stand up, I think Li Yi's Mansion is doomed. This time he will not be so lucky. Why do you have to cause a bigger storm? No matter how reasonable you are, Your Majesty can't keep you. And I'm holding you, not all for your sake, but for the country and for Your Majesty, the two Secretariat Orders were taken down by Your Majesty on the spot. Do you know what this means?"

Wei Siqian remained silent.

"Half of the imperial court!" Lu Chengqing sighed.

......

"Xian---Son-in-law, what's going on? How did it become like this!"

After Xiao Rui got on the carriage, his mouth was still trembling. He had lived for decades, and he had never seen such a scene before. This was even more terrifying than Wei Zheng snatching Li Shimin's sleeve, because it was just between the monarch and the ministers, but what did the two Secretariat represent, representing half of the court!

Han Yi gently wiped his face with a cotton velvet that he had just scalded with tea. He had sweated a lot just now, and now he was confused and shook his head and said, "I don't know, this is far beyond my expectations."

He should be very happy to say that Li Yifu was taken down, but he was really happy because it was not in his expectations and he could not grasp it. He hated this situation very much. He would rather win Li Yifu, or Du Zhenglun, or the emperor came forward to calm the matter as expected. However, in this situation, he dared not act rashly anymore. He had to stop all plans and wait for the development of the situation.

......

After Xu Jingzong returned to the mansion, he immediately ordered his servants to close the door and told him to see anyone today. He and Wang Dejian and Xin Mao took the three of them to the back hall.

As soon as the door of the back hall was closed, Xu Jingzong immediately said to Wang Dejian: "Dejian, look at Li Yi Mansion this time...!"

Before he could finish his words, Xin Maojiang shouted, "I said, Brother Xu, why are you still thinking about Li Yi Mansion? We are so implicated by him. If His Majesty really investigates it, we will be implicated. Let's find a way to protect ourselves first!"

After that, he was about to cry and sat on the chair. If he could regret it, he would never be the minister of Dali Temple. It was so terrible. He was just a wiping character.

Xu Jingzong glanced at Xin Maojiang and couldn't say anything. Xin Maojiang had nothing to do with Li Yifu, mainly because of him, with a hint of guilt on his face, sighed, and sat back on the chair.

Wang Dejian was also sweating heavily on his face. He took out a veil to wipe it, trying to calm himself down. After a while, he put away the veil and said, "Uncle, I think Li Yi Mansion is helpless this time."

When Xin Mao was hearing this, he snorted and turned his back to the side.

Xu Jingzong frowned and said, "Is there no chance at all?"

Wang Dejian shook his head and said, "If Your Majesty did not take them down on the spot, there might be room for maneuver, but now it seems that it will probably not be able to recover." He paused and said, "But I don't think it will involve us. Anyway, Your Majesty did not plan to spare them this time. Why didn't you go with the flow and hand over their paper to Wei Siqian for investigation? It can be seen that Your Majesty does not want to expand this matter."

Xin Mao would say, "You take this seriously?"

Wang Dejian looked embarrassed and said, "I think so, but--but this happened too suddenly and weirdly, and I can't understand it."

Xu Jingzong sighed and said, "I am very kind to him, Li Yi Mansion, and now he is responsible for all this, and I can only wish him good luck."

This disaster happened to each other, and this incident made Xu Jingzong very scared.

......

Harem!

"It's unreasonable! It's unreasonable! I've given them hints from the beginning, warning them to stop at the right time and not to fight for a win or lose. But not only did they not care about it, they became more and more aggressive and even started to move their hands on the hall. Whether they still take me seriously is extremely abominable. I'm determined to spare them this time."

As soon as Li Zhi returned to the harem, he was furious, and even a hint of grievance was involved. At the beginning, he did give many hints, such as praising Han Yi from the beginning, just to suggest that you should just do something and find ways to solve the problem instead of creating a problem, let alone make any life attacks. Therefore, he was very angry and wronged at this time because his kindness was ignored by Li Yifu and Du Zheng.

"Your Majesty, please calm down first. It's not worth it to get angry for such a minister!"

Wu Meiniang hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Li Zhi, then handed it to Li Zhi, and said, "Your Majesty, you drink a little tea first to calm your breath."

"I am not in the mood to drink tea now." Li Zhi said as he saw the teacup still in front of him, he looked at Wu Meiniang again, sighed, took the teacup, took a sip, nodded and said, "You are right. It is really not worth being angry about such a minister. Since they don't cherish the opportunity I give them, don't blame me for being merciless."

Wu Meiniang asked, "Why don't you know what Your Majesty plans to deal with them?"

"I---!"

Li Zhi said that, frowned, then looked at Wu Meiniang and said, "I am already so angry that I am. What should I do with them? I really haven't figured out clearly. What do you think I should do with them?"

Wu Meiniang pondered for a while and said, "It is not an exaggeration to dismiss them from their posts and investigate them." However, they are the Secretariat after all. According to our system, if they want to dismiss them from their posts and investigate them, they must go through formal procedures and conclusive evidence. In this way, they must first investigate and collect evidence. However, if this is done, I will probably become more and more troublesome and have a wider connection, and will be out of control at that time."

Speaking of this, she stopped, looked at Li Zhi, saw Li Zhi nodding slightly, and then continued: "If Your Majesty does not want to expand this matter, you can demote them to Chang'an first, and then deal with them after the court is stable, so that it will be much more convenient."

Li Zhi's eyelids drooped, he thought for a while, and sighed: "If I want to make this matter worse, I will not give them any hints. It's a pity that they have not felt my painstaking efforts!"
