In a blink of an eye, two days passed.

Early in the morning, the dawn gradually dispelled the clouds and mist. Hao Fenglou got up early. After washing up, the doorman came over and said, "Your Highness King Zhao has arrived. He has agreed to enter the palace with the young master and wait outside."

Hao Fenglou was not surprised. He and King Zhao had not seen each other for a long time. Hao Fenglou steadily went out. Sure enough, seeing Zhu Gaosui, Zhu Gaosui seemed much more mature than before. When they met, they did not bow to each other, and there was no too much politeness. Zhu Gaosui just rode on the horse and cursed with a smile: "My Lord Hao, you have been teaching me for a long time. OK, since the big car has arrived, then get on the horse quickly and let's enter the palace."

Hao Fenglou turned over the horse, walked side by side with Zhu Gaosui, and walked slowly. Hao Fenglou glanced at Zhu Gaosui and said worriedly: "Your Highness has a bad face. Didn't you sleep all night last night?"

Zhu Gaosui pretended to be indifferent, and finally shook his head and said, "Hey, Hao Fenglou, tell the truth, can Chen Xue still be saved? I did toss and turns last night. It was nothing wrong with Chen Xue, but the matter was too big. As for Zhou Lifan, everyone knows that he is now guilty, and many old brothers from Beijing are mostly suspicious and uneasy. I am afraid that once the father makes up his mind today, Zhou Lifan is finished and Chen Xue is finished, then the next step is to eradicate false learning, and sooner or later it will be implicated in you and me. Xie Jin is really hateful. This person has many tricks, and this time he is planning and he is afraid that there will be many dangers."

What Zhu Gaosui said does have many truths. Zhu Gaosui is no longer the confused Prince Xiaoyao. Instead, he gradually carried many invisible burdens on him. Zhu Gaosui even thought that if it weren't for Hao Fenglou by his side, if Hao Fenglou hadn't given him spiritual support, Zhu Gaosui would have been unable to support him.

He said, unable to help but look at Hao Fenglou, with a faint expectation in his eyes.

Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "What does Your Highness think about Zhou Lifan's key?"

Zhu Gaosui frowned and said, "Is it not Chen Xue?"

Hao Fenglou smiled again and said, "Since that's the case, what is the key to Chen Xue?"

Zhu Gaosui pondered: "It's true of this Chen Xue."

Hao Fenglou looked at Zhu Gaosui with a smile and said, "So what is true and what is pseudo-study? Your Highness, it has nothing to do with what is true and false in Chen's school. The key to the authenticity of Chen's school is whether Chen's school is useful or useless. If Chen's school is kept, is it beneficial or harmful to Your Majesty? Guangxi's learning changes are naturally harmful to Your Majesty, but how can you make Your Majesty think that Chen's school is beneficial? Only when Chen's school is beneficial, then it is not pseudo-study.

If it weren't for false learning, Zhou Lifan would be innocent, and those students in Guangxi's affairs would be innocent. The most important thing here is not what Zhou Lifan is, nor how the court should view it. But whether Chen Xue is true or false, and the authenticity of Chen Xue depends on whether Chen Xue is beneficial to Your Majesty. Does Your Highness understand that this is the key point. In today's court discussion, you don't have to pay attention to other details. Your Highness only needs to remember one thing, is Chen Xue beneficial to Your Majesty? It is crucial to clarify this issue."

Zhu Gaosui seemed to have some understanding and couldn't help but say, "So, is this Chen Xue beneficial or unhelpful to the father?"

Hao Fenglou said firmly: "It is beneficial or unhelpful, but it has nothing to do with Your Majesty, but we must tell Your Majesty that this Chen Xue is beneficial to Your Majesty."

While the two of them were talking, they had already arrived at the Meridian Gate. The ministers had arrived long ago. The prince leaned against the Meridian Gate in a python robe. He could not tell anything good or bad about his face. However, when he saw Zhu Gaosui, he immediately stepped forward and greeted Zhu Gaosui warmly.

As for Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rongren and others, they seemed much more low-key. They each stood aside and naturally knew in their hearts that a battle between dragons and tigers was about to begin, and everyone was preparing for the next court discussion.

Hao Fenglou stood there and was naturally attracted by countless people. Some were gloating, some were afraid of being in their eyes, some were sneering, or they had their own ulterior motives.

Hao Fenglou ignored this. But at this moment, a commotion broke out in the crowd, and some people couldn't help but feel moved and shouted in a low voice: "Zhou Lifan is here."

Zhou Lifan's arrival did attract countless people's attention. This Minister of Justice has now become the target of public criticism. Your Majesty allows him to discuss self-defense in the court today, but everyone knows that even if this person has a thousand mouths today, countless people in the court are ready to go. Even if he has a thousand mouths, this so-called self-defense is more like the Ming Zhengzhu punishment in a sense.

Zhou Lifan seemed much thinner. Meeting him in his life was a great achievement. First, a great achievement made him soar, but before the new official's butt was warmed up, a disaster was about to come.

Everyone saw him and retreated one after another. No one was willing to have anything to do with him. Wherever Zhou Lifan went, someone would automatically retreat wherever he went, and everyone was evading the plague god.

However, when Hao Fenglou saw this, he couldn't help but frown, walked forward, greeted Zhou Lifan, "Mr. Zhou, don't be fine."

Zhou Lifan looked at Hao Fenglou with a wry smile on his face, and the complexity in his heart was conceivable. It should be noted that from the beginning, although Zhou Lifan made great progress with the help of King Zhao and Hao Fenglou, Zhou Lifan saw through the risks. Therefore, although he was close to His Highness, Hao Fenglou, in his heart, he did not want to have too much involvement with King Zhao and Hao Fenglou, and he was afraid of causing trouble.

But who knew that this disaster still happened. Life is just too ironic sometimes. Those who he once wanted to curry favor with were all putting in trouble and wished to put him to death. Those who he deliberately wanted to alienate were like Hao Fenglou, but they still did not forget their old love and were willing to greet him.

Zhou Lifan regretted it. If he had known this, if he had known that it would have ended like this, it would have been better to follow the King of Zhao and Hao Fenglou to the end.

Zhou Lifan was full of shame, but he still said, "Hello, Lord Hao."

There was no disgusting look at Zhou Lifan on Hao Fenglou's face, and he smiled and said, "Sir, I'm not convenient for someone to talk in depth. This court discussion is about to begin..." Hao Fenglou said, but his eyes couldn't help but look around, and then he saw many people retreating automatically. He smiled and gradually withdrew his smile. He lowered his voice and said, "Master Zhou, I have something to say. But I don't know if Master Zhou is willing to listen? If Master Zhou wants to break through the thorns today, he can only seek life in death. Since that's the case, why wouldn't he bit Chen Xue to death? Chen Xue is not guilty, and great talents are not guilty. As long as the adults can hold on, perhaps today's court meeting will have unexpected gains."

Zhou Lifan said in surprise: "Sir. This..."

Zhou Lifan's doubts are understandable. Because of Chen Xue, Zhou Lifan has fallen to this point. At this time, the smartest choice is to admit his guilt and punish him. He will try his best to get a crime of neglecting his duties. At worst, he will dismiss the office. But the problem now is that Hao Fenglou asked him to protect Chen Xue. He will undoubtedly stab the hornet's nest. Once he causes countless people to bite him, he will no longer be neglecting his duties and corpse positions. At that time, he will inevitably put on a high hat of evil words and bad people's thoughts.

In other words, Zhou Lifan is now facing a choice, either he confesses his guilt honestly and waits for the court to punish him; or he refuses to admit his death and will kill him.

Zhou Lifan thought of this, but he was trampled.

………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

The morning bell rang, the palace gate opened wide, and a ray of morning sun fell on the Forbidden City. The Forbidden City seemed to be awakened and suddenly shone brightly.

All civil and military officials entered one after another. Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi and King Zhao Zhu Gaosui took the lead. Zhu Gaochi and Zhu Gaosui kept talking and laughing, which made the ministers following him feel like they were different.

Where is the right to participate in the court discussion? I vaguely remember that a few years ago, the one who talked and laughed alongside the prince to enter the palace was His Highness. Now the King of Han is finished. Who would have thought that this confused prince could immediately replace his second brother?

Many people were muttering in their hearts, and those eyes began to meet in the air, but the moment they met, there was a hint of sneer.

If two dragons compete for the pearl, there will be one injury. Although His Highness, King Zhao, has recently seen favored him in the palace, it will take one day sooner or later. His Highness, King Zhao, is afraid that he will fall apart.

Perhaps, this incident is today.

Everyone had arrived at Fengtian Hall, but the emperor had not arrived. However, Zhao Zhong had already arrived first. Zhao Zhong looked tired, obviously he had not had a good sleep these days. He stood under the Golden Palace with his back hunched over, and the ministers arrived one after another, and he never looked up at him.

Everyone has long been accustomed to this and stand in their own shifts according to the rules.

Emperor Zhu Di came late. He wore a crown, wore a sky crown on his head, sat upright on the imperial chair, and stroked the imperial desk with his hands. His eyes were watched, but it finally fell on the prince and the king of Zhao.

Everyone bowed to the ground and shouted long live, Zhu Di slowly said: "All the people are calm, there is no need to be too polite."

Everyone stood up one after another, all of them lowered their eyebrows. Zhu Di smiled slightly and said, "In the past, the court discussed that I always asked all the ministers to speak freely, but today, they have to change it. All the ministers are scholars, and the way of education is probably familiar to everyone. After all, this is the secret ability of all the ministers. But they can't rely solely on education. Therefore, the country has established a code of law and governed Xing Prison. The matter of Xing Prison cannot be underestimated, and it cannot be ignored. In the past few days, the Censorate impeached the Minister of Justice Zhou Lifan to neglect his duties and neglect his position and cause a disaster. Can Zhou Lifan be there?"

Everyone cheered up and looked at Zhou Lifan occasionally.

Zhou Lifan had no choice but to stand up and said, "The criminal is here."

When Zhu Di looked at Zhou Lifan, there was no emotion in his eyes, but he just said lightly: "Oh, do you have anything to say? I will give you a chance to defend yourself."
