Hey! Host! I asked you to have a child, not to have a strategy.

"In the past few days, ministers in the court have been repeatedly assassinated. The Imperial City Governor is suspected of negligence and dereliction of duty. I have had someone arrested. Now I have asked the Ministry of Personnel to nominate officials. As for the positions of Minister of War and Minister of Rites, they will be temporarily held by the Left Vice Ministers of the two ministries."

As soon as Xiao Jingchuan finished speaking, the hall became extremely quiet, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Many people were secretly glancing at Xiao Huanzhi's expression. After all, everyone knew that the Left Minister was his subordinate.

Xiao Huanzhi glanced at him calmly with his phoenix eyes, and immediately all the ministers in the hall lowered their brows and eyes, became obedient and responded.

Xiao Jingchuan was at the top and saw everything clearly. While he was wary of Xiao Huanzhi, he also couldn't help but envy his prestige.

At this moment, an imperial censor moved his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

"I ask that you dismiss me from my position as Prime Minister! Put him in prison and execute him, and exterminate all nine generations of his clan!"

When these words were spoken, all the ministers were shocked and turned their heads to see the Prime Minister's expression.

But suddenly I discovered that the Prime Minister did not come to the court meeting today.

"As the prime minister, he should have set an example, treated his colleagues with respect, and assisted His Majesty, but he abused his power for personal gain and even attempted rebellion!!"

"I have evidence that the Prime Minister intends to rebel. Please have a look at it with your Majesty, the Regent."

The censor also had no idea why there were so many pieces of “black material” about the prime minister on his desk, including evidence of his intention to rebel.

The censor hesitated for a while at home, but finally gritted his teeth and decided to impeach the prime minister.

It was only then that Xiao Huanzhi noticed that the Prime Minister had not come, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.

……

Zhu Baishao sneaked into the place where the prime minister hid the dragon robe and jade seal in the original plot last night and stole some things that could be used as evidence of treason.

The letter was also sent to the Imperial Censor, who had the most upright reputation. It was expected that the Prime Minister would be criticized by everyone at the court meeting today.

Zhu Baishao just wanted to ruin his reputation and make him infamous forever.

But she never expected that the Prime Minister would bring people to block her, Wen Yan and Bi Tao in Zhuxingju.

He is not afraid of Xiao Huanzhi?

At this time, the sky was covered with dark clouds, and there was a hint of impending storm.

At the gate of Zhuxingju Courtyard, the guards sent by Xiao Huanzhi to protect Zhu Baishao and a large number of soldiers brought by the prime minister were confronting each other.

"How dare you! I came here to arrest the murderer in the Jinhua Temple assassination case, and you dared to stop me?! Are you going to disobey my orders?"

The prime minister looked around, and his voice, which was full of energy in the past, seemed a little strange at this moment.

He was accompanied by officers and soldiers who numbered several times as many as his guards. As he spoke, their power was so terrifying that the guards of the palace had no choice but to retreat little by little until they retreated to the yard.

The prime minister followed the soldiers in and when he looked up he saw Zhu Baishao and Wen Yan in white clothes under the eaves. His gaze fixed on Zhu Baishao and he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Chunniang had never told him that number nine was this color.

But then he remembered her identity as an orphan of the Zhu family, and dispelled the heat in his heart. He said in a cold voice: "Your Majesty has ordered that the imperial city soldiers arrest the mastermind of the assassination in Jinhua Temple, investigate his crimes carefully, and wait for his punishment."

"Someone, take it down."

As his voice fell, a flash of lightning appeared for a moment, and the sky became darker.

Bitao's face was pale, her lips trembled, and she turned her head to explain that she was not the one who informed on the matter, but she saw Zhu Baishao shaking his head slightly.

Wen Yan stood beside her and for the first time felt that he had no right to be with her. With such a short life, he couldn't even protect her.

The system suddenly reminded: [Host, hold on! Xiao Huanzhi is coming soon!]

Zhu Baishao's heart moved.

The wind and rain outside came suddenly. It was the first rain of summer and it seemed to fall a little quickly. The sound of rain hitting the eaves and stone steps made the time seem particularly long.

The prime minister had already stood on the eaves of the corridor, looking at the guards who were protecting Zhu Baishao and the others and retreating to the door. A smile appeared on his face, but in the dim sky, it looked a little scary.

As long as she is caught and executed first, even if Xiao Huanzhi blames her, it will all be the emperor's intention, and the little emperor will be the culprit.

"Take it!"

Wen Yan wanted to stand in front of Zhu Baishao, but Zhu Baishao held him back and shook his head at him.

At this moment, a cold shout came from outside: "The Prime Minister is so powerful!"

As soon as the voice came out, the yard suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of rain becoming more urgent.

More than a dozen palace guards heaved a sigh of relief and looked at the officers and soldiers opposite and the prime minister with a joking look, as if their faces suddenly changed.

You deserve it! You have no idea what you are doing and dare to come to the Regent's Palace to arrest people.

A handsome young man wearing a black python robe, a golden crown on his hair, a jade belt around his waist, and phoenix eyes appeared at the entrance of Zhuxingju. Behind him followed the palace guards and some other palace guards, nearly twenty people in total, all holding umbrellas.

The commander of the emperor's guards stood half a step behind and held an umbrella for Xiao Huanzhi. Even though half of his body was exposed and wet by the rain, he still looked respectful.

The gloomy sky, the occasional flash of lightning, the dark and falling rain, the oil-paper umbrellas held up in the yard, and the solemn young man surrounded by the brocade-clad guards with their heads bowed, it was like a picture scroll, captivating.

The officers and soldiers who came with the prime minister were intimidated by Xiao Huanzhi's aura, and remembering his sharp wrist, they lowered their heads involuntarily, and the swords in their hands were dropped to the ground with clanging sounds.

Many people knelt down on the ground spontaneously, and the scene was extremely shocking.

Now the prime minister standing among them stood out.

His face darkened, and he said to Xiao Huanzhi: "Your Highness, this is His Majesty's order. Capture the murderer of Jinhua Temple as soon as possible to calm the people. I dare not neglect it."

The subtext is that it was the emperor who asked me to do this, it had nothing to do with me.

Still gave in.

Xiao Huanzhi, who was standing in the corridor, didn't even look at him. His eyes fell on Zhu Baishao and Wen Yan. Seeing that they were both dressed in white and standing together like a well-matched couple, his eyes were heavy.

A bitter jealousy welled up in my heart.

Little did he know how envious Wen Yan, who was being envied by him at this moment, was of him.

Zhu Baishao, whose expression remained cold from beginning to end, was actually distracted from the system in his mind.

[I thought Xiao Huanzhi was so handsome just now. ]

Zhu Baishao: "System, you are no longer the same person you were at the beginning. You used to just make me feel terrible, but now you think the Son of Luck is handsome... Oh, you used to think he was pitiful..."

"There's something wrong with you."

system:【……】

Xiao Huanzhi retracted his gaze, and his phoenix eyes swept towards the prime minister. He bit his words, his voice without a trace of warmth, "Prime Minister, if you have time to arrest people and investigate cases here, you might as well reflect on yourself and ask if you have done anything you shouldn't have done..."

He dragged out the last word, deliberately paused for two seconds, and then curled his lips, "Like, rebellion?"

A bone-chilling chill struck the prime minister's heart, his eyes went dark, and he felt the world spinning.

How did Xiao Huanzhi know that he wanted to rebel?

impossible! Absolutely impossible!

He hid it very well...

"You, do you have any evidence?! If you don't have any evidence, and you slander the court officials like this, even if you are the regent, I will write a letter to impeach you." How could the prime minister admit that he was treasoning? He asked back with his neck stiff.
