Zhang Dun and Cai Bian sat upright with their faces as iron.

Lin Xi, Li Qingchen and others were also depressed and their eyes kept changing.

They were all firm reformists of the Shenzong Dynasty. During the seven years when Empress Dowager Gao ruled behind the curtain, they were suppressed and suffered hardships. They could be said to have been tested until now, and their desire for reform is unshakable.

Empress Meng cannot be said to be a thorn in the court and the public, but it is not much better.

The Meng family, Empress Dowager Gao, had her imprint on her so deep that no one could erase it. If Zhao Xu had not protected her all the time, she would have been deposed long ago.

Everyone held their breath and focused, and the afterglow looked at each other. The meaning of it may not be fully understood.

Then, they looked at Wang Cun's position from time to time.

This person has taken over the "old party" forces since Lu Dafang. If he turns to Empress Meng, the situation in the court may change suddenly, which will have an unpredictable impact on the "new law" and next year's major policies!

what to do?

This is a dark cloud in everyone's heart. Queen Meng is pregnant now and can definitely not move!

Before they could think clearly, He You left and returned, came straight in, held his hands in front of his abdomen, and shouted in a sharp voice: "The Queen's Imperial Decree, the Political Affairs Hall will receive the decree!"

The expressions of the people in the Political Affairs Hall changed immediately, and they were extremely unkind to stare at He You!

This is the first time that Empress Meng issued an imperial edict, and it is an extremely bad start!

But after all, Empress Meng is the queen, they must not explicitly resist the order!

Zhang Dun's sword eyebrows twitched twice, stood up and raised his hand.

Cai Bian and others swept over the others and followed them to salute.

No matter how angry or suspicious a large group of "new parties" were, they stood up.

"I will receive the order." The voice was neither loud nor small, and there was dull anger.

He You ignored these things and said with his neck tilted, "The Queen's Imperial Decree: He Yi is an imperial envoy to act on behalf of the emperor. His life and death and national affairs shall not be carried out without any action. The government affairs hall shall find out the whole story, clarify the case, and wait for the official family to return to the capital to deal with it. No one shall overstep the authority..."

Many people slowly looked up at He You, their eyes drifting.

What does Empress Meng mean? Do you want to protect Wang Cun or someone else?

After He You finished reciting, he bowed slightly, turned around and left.

When He You walked out of the side door of the Political Affairs Hall, he happened to see Wang Cun and Meng Tang coming towards him.

Wang Cun jumped down and continued to move forward expressionlessly.

When you walk into the Political Affairs Hall, you will see dozens of gazes!

These eyes contain various flavors, but none of them have good intentions!

Meng Tang hurriedly retreated aside, fearing that he would be affected.

Li Qingchen stepped forward, looked at Wang Cun, his face turned dark, and said, "Congratulations to Shangshu Wang, if he defected to Empress Meng, he would become the future imperial savant. Not to mention Lu Dafang, he would probably become the second Sima Guang."

As soon as this sentence ended, the atmosphere in the Political Affairs Hall was instantly cold, and Meng Tang felt the chill and wanted to escape!

Wang Cun looked at the expressions of the crowd. Even though he had already expected it, he still felt a sudden heart. He gritted his teeth and raised his hand, saying, "Empress Xunzhao, he just asked about some things, and it has nothing to do with the court. Li Shangshu, Wang said that the Ministry of Works did not know about He Yi and did not participate. Wang's attitude has been strictly investigated to the end, and it will never be vague!"

Li Qingchen snorted coldly and said, "It's very simple for Secretary Wang to prove his innocence. Let's resign."

Wang Cun just felt that these people were going to take the blame for him, and retorted without hesitation: "Wouldn't that be accused? Li Shangshu, Zhang Gong, Cai Gong, and Wang would never admit what he had never done. If you must put the shit basin on me and the head of the worker department, Wang would never surrender!"

Zhang Dun raised his hand and stopped Li Qingchen who was about to speak, saying, "Have Cai You arrived in Beijing?"

Pei Yin quickly raised his hand and said, "I expect to arrive in Beijing tonight."

"Let him come to my mansion tonight." After Zhang Dun finished speaking, he stopped talking and turned around and left, returning to the green tiled house.

Li Qingchen looked at his back, his face was gentle, and raised his hand with Cai Bian, turned around and left the Political Affairs Hall, preparing to leave the palace and return to the Ministry of Rites.

Cai Bian glanced at Wang Cun, and without saying anything, he followed Zhang Dun away.

The others paused for a moment, left in groups of three or three, without saying a word.

Only Wang Cun was there, his face was as gloomy as ink.

The Imperial City Department is an extremely special yamen, and is classified as a political affairs hall in a system, but in fact it is still the emperor's privileged institution!

In theory, officials of the Imperial City Department cannot be arrested for third rank or above unless Zhao Xu agrees. But if they belong to the Political Affairs Hall in the system, Zhang Dun can order Cai You to investigate the officials of the entire court!

In other words, Cai You can do anything to the Ministry of Works, but the Ministry of Works cannot resist!

Because once you resist, it is equivalent to resisting the order!

Under such a complex situation, Wang Cun and the Ministry of Works were equal to Ren Zhang Dun's slaughter!

The new party also knew about this situation and did not waste any more talk.

Wang Cun thought about it all the time, unwilling to sit and wait for death, quickly left the palace and returned to the Ministry of Works.

Less than half an hour after the meeting of the Political Affairs Hall was disbanded, Huang Lu, the Censor General of the Censorate, Lai Zhishao, the Minister of Justice, and Li Qingchen, the Minister of Rites, each brought more than ten people, and transferred a total of two thousand soldiers from the Ministry of War, leaving Kaifeng City in a mighty manner, preparing to rush to Jiangnan West Road.

The three of the seven ministers rushed to Jiangnan West Road in person, which shows how angry and important the court was to He Yi's death.

But before they could leave the yamen, they were urgently recalled.

There are many rumors, the most widespread of which is that the recall order comes from Renming Palace!

But no one can confirm that the court is so secretive.

Not only the court, but also many people among the people, He Yi's death and the mastermind behind the troubled governance of Jiangnan West Road was the Ministry of Works.

For a time, the Ministry of Works was criticized by countless people, and some "old party" figures also spoke, openly cursing that "Wang Cun was confused and plotted to murder the imperial envoy."

The Ministry of Works' office was closed and silent, filled with storms.

Empress Meng's sudden action gradually caused an undercurrent in the court and the country.

Many people seemed to see "hope" and began to write a letter to praise Empress Meng.

In theory, Zhao Xuyu returned from his personal expedition and would definitely be a great minister. He made the greatest contribution, followed by the queen and then the ministers!

At this time, Jiangnan West Road was even more turbulent and the situation changed dramatically.

Some people began to impeach Ying Guan, Luan Qi and others, criticizing them for ignoring the court and murdering the imperial envoy with illegitimate intentions.

Some people are still impeaching He Yi and others for disrespect for the imperial court's rules and regulations, and act recklessly on the West Road of Jiangnan, arousing public anger.

Some people have already stood at the forefront of the "new law", explaining the "new law" everywhere, and promoting the "new policy" of the court.

Some people have already arranged eyeliners on the way the imperial envoys must pass. As soon as these people arrive, they will greet them in advance and arrange a grand welcome ceremony.

Liu Zhiyi and others were in a very difficult situation, and they were completely isolated in Fuguo County.

Ying Guan and others in the prison acted more and came to plead with mercy. There were countless people who came to plead with love, especially some respected people who could not even hide, and they had to smile.

If it weren't for He Yi's death, Liu Zhiyi and others held up with anger, they would probably have been unable to hold on to letting go.

Regarding He Yi's death, the situation was divided into two parts: one was Jiangnan West Road, with pressure as mountains and struggling; the other was Kaifeng City, with turbulent disturbances and undercurrents.
