The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 388

The falling rainwater hit the ground with a pattering sound.

In the west side hall of Jinshen Hall, Zhao Yanxun was sitting on the throne, flipping through the booklet in his hand on the couch.

In the room, the four ministers stood separately, ready to be questioned at any time.

In the ten days since Zhao Yanxun left, the ministers handled all affairs properly, so Zhao Yanxun seldom asked questions.

Against the background of the sound of rain outside the hall, the inside of the hall seemed extraordinarily quiet.

The crowd waited silently, so that they exaggerated a sense of oppression, which made the several ministers present breathe heavily.

Finally, the sound of footsteps sounded outside the main hall, which cheered up several ministers.

After a while, a eunuch reported outside: "Report to the lord, the judge Cai Xinghai and Lin Quan are outside to meet!"

Putting down the folder in his hand, Zhao Yanxun calmly said: "Let them in!"

After a few breaths, Cai Xinghai and Lin Quan drove along the passage in the hall to the west side hall.

"The judge is Cai Xinghai kowtowing to His Highness!"

"Servant Lin Quan kowtows to the prince!"

Leaning on the back of the chair, Zhao Yanxun said slowly: "Excuse me!"

After the two got up, Zhao Yanxun looked at Cai Xinghai and said, "Is the matter clear?"

"Reporting to Your Highness, the general situation has been clarified, and there are still details to be interrogated later. This is the transcript of the interrogation!"

After speaking, Cai Xinghai held up the transcript with both hands.

Zhao Yanxun only moved his eyes, and Huo An, who was serving at the side, stepped forward and took the transcript from Cai Xinghai.

While flipping through the pages, Zhao Yanxun said, "Tell me what happened, and tell all the lovers present!"

Several ministers present were eager to know the situation.

Under Zhao Yanxun's order, Cai Xinghai narrated the case from beginning to end.

What happened was shown in front of several ministers, some of them breathed a sigh of relief, while others felt even more heavy.

When Cai Xinghai finished speaking, Zhao Yanxun also put down the notes in his hand, and then looked at several ministers in the side hall.

"The teacher who never forgets the past, if you have anything to say, you might as well say it now!"

After Zhao Yanxun's words fell, there was another thunderstorm outside the hall, like a punch hitting everyone's hearts.

They must deeply understand the meaning of the teacher who does not forget the past and the future, and understand what Zhao Yanxun wants them to say.

After waiting for a while and no one spoke, Zhao Yanxun said without emotion: "Don't you say it? My king will help you!"

"The management of the receipt system is chaotic, whose fault is it?"

"Marching outside, not stationed according to the rules, are those people at fault?"

The two questions Zhao Yanxun raised were directed at the Chief History Department and the Privy Council.

In this level of discussion, the disposition of Wang Baokun will naturally not be discussed. For Zhao Yanxun, it is most important to find loopholes in the system.

"The minister is at fault!"

So one after another, the four ministers present knelt down to plead guilty, and only Cai Xinghai, who was the lowest, was still standing.

This made him stand neither kneeling nor kneeling, so he could only lower his head and continue to think about the case in his mind.

"In troubled times, we can survive not because we are strong, but because we are cautious!"

Standing up and walking to the desk, looking at the ministers kneeling in front of him, Zhao Yanxun said in a deep voice, "For more than a year, the palace has made considerable achievements..."

"But you have to understand that the palace is still in turmoil, and maybe just one mistake... could destroy the palace forever!"

"Your Highness' teaching, I will bear in mind!" Guan Hetai was the first to answer.

This time Wang Baokun had an accident, the responsibility of their Privy Council is undoubtedly heavier, and the military justice department is headed by Guan Hetai, so Guan Hetai is more responsible than others.

Zhao Yanxun returned to his seat: "Get up, you can't live in peace if you kneel!"

After everyone got up, he went on to say: "Take this opportunity, you and your subordinates, think about the deficiencies in official duties, and what are easy to overlook!"

"In a few days, each of you will hand in your papers, and you must have something to say!"

"Of order!" The ministers replied frankly.

"Also, since the food was stolen, the Privy Council will send a team to search the place where the incident happened!"

"Follow orders!" It was Chen Anming who answered.

"In addition, the Privy Council selected [-] general banner officers and [-] small banner officials from each thousand households to conduct training in Yuanyang..."

These words made the two privy envoys puzzled, training camp?What is the training camp?
"Your Highness, I don't know what the training content is..." Guan Hetai asked cautiously, he was usually responsible for such matters.

"Of course, this time, and the lessons of every previous accident, the general flag and the small flag are the foundation of the army, let them tighten the strings in their hearts!"

After a pause, Zhao Yanxun continued: "Now that the spring plowing is coming to an end, manpower can already be drawn, you must arrange it properly!"

"Yes!"

"Okay, let's all go back!"

"Yes!"

Arriving here, the Xiaochaohui is finally over.

After a report, Zhao Yanxun did not punish anyone, but made all the ministers who participated in the report feel like they would survive the catastrophe.

After saluting to Zhao Yanxun, the ministers present slowly exited the hall, and just as they walked out of the gate, a thunderstorm erupted.

The rain was falling, and the hearts of the ministers were as cold as the rain.

Although they were not punished, they were still under a lot of pressure.

Plugging the loopholes in the system is already a commonplace problem. If something happened this time and they were not punished by the law, what if there is another time?
There can be no next time, thinking like this in my heart, several ministers also made up their minds, this time they must fill in more loopholes.

Besides, in the main hall, the ministers had dispersed, leaving only the two eunuchs to accompany Zhao Yanxun.

At this moment, thunder and rain are coming together, which makes Zhao Yanxun feel uneasy.

Only now did he have the time to think about Wang Baokun.

Hearing the sound of wind and rain, Huo An walked to the entrance of the main hall and ordered the little eunuch on duty to close the doors and windows. At this moment, a lot of rain had blown into the main hall.

"Don't close the door!"

Zhao Yanxun's voice came from the west side hall, causing the little eunuch who had started to push the door to back out now.

Getting up from the chair, Zhao Yanxun walked to the entrance of the main hall with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the heavy rain outside, he fell into deep thought.

This Wang Baokun was actually upgraded by him, but this person betrayed Wang Fa, which is tantamount to betraying him.

People like Wang Baokun can't help shouting the slogan "Long live King Yong" on weekdays, but he betrayed himself.

Regardless of the civil and military ministers, they all expressed their loyalty to him, how many people here are sincere?

Even though he had a system, he couldn't see through people's hearts, but he ignored this point, and this incident just woke him up.

Calling up the system panel, Zhao Yanxun searched for Wang Baokun, and revoked his upgrade.

At this moment, the wind and rain outside the main hall had gradually subsided, and it could be said that it came and went quickly.

Zhao Yanxun was still standing there, thinking about what to do next, while Huo An had already called for people to start wiping the floor, and the rainwater blowing in must be wiped dry.

Just as Zhao Yanxun was thinking, he suddenly smiled meaningfully.

The only one who could make him laugh at this time was Huang Rongrong who appeared on the steps on the west side of Jinshen Hall.

I saw Huang Rongrong walking in front, and behind her were two maids, each holding a food box.

Huang Rongrong made a special trip to wait for the rain to stop before she left for Jinshen Hall.

Walking up the steps, Huang Rongrong saw Zhao Yanxun standing at the door, so she quickened her pace again.

"All blessings, my lord!"

"Why is Aifei here?"

Huang Rongrong walked into the main hall, came to Zhao Yanxun's side and said: "I heard that the prince is returning to the mansion, and the concubine is worried that the prince will not be able to eat well outside, so I specially ordered the kitchen to cook some small dishes, and I made a special trip to serve the prince today!"

This is called no opportunity, and opportunities must be created.

At this time, it was at least an hour before dinner time, but they still asked someone to bring the meal.

"Thank you, concubine, for your kindness!" Zhao Yanxun said with a smile.

Huang Rongrong grabbed Zhao Yanxun's sleeve and said expectantly, "My lord, let's go in!"

"How can I live up to my concubine's kindness!" Zhao Yanxun smiled.

After glancing around, Zhao Yanxun simply sat on the threshold, which had just been wiped clean.

"It's bright here, why don't we just eat here!"

Only for Huang Rongrong, Zhao Yanxun would make such a request.

"Okay, as long as the prince likes it, the concubine will like it!" Huang Rongrong smiled like a flower.

Only Huang Rongrong would follow suit in such inconspicuous things, which reminded Zhao Yanxun of his former girlfriend.

The two of them really sat down like this, and the eunuchs and maids serving around them didn't dare to look sideways.

Soon someone brought Zhang Xiao over, and the maids quickly put out the dishes.

"My lord, please..." Huang Rongrong handed over a glass of wine.

"Where did you get the wine?" Zhao Yanxun took it and asked.

"The concubine made it with fruit, the prince has a taste!"

"Aifei is really dexterous..."

"As long as the prince likes it..."

"But Gu still prefers Concubine Ai..."

The wind and rain cleared, and the laughter of boys and girls lingered at the gate of Jinshen Hall.
