Above the court hall, Qingyun quietly listened to the courtiers arguing endlessly about the new candidate for the post of Jing Zhaoyin.

Wang Ming and Zhou Tao's brawl because of a woman gathered in the market quickly spread throughout the capital. Marquis Pingyang and Marquis Wu'an rushed to the Yamen immediately upon hearing the news, but they did not bring back their sons.

Originally, Jing Zhaoyin and Zhao Hui were fine after being diagnosed and treated by a doctor, but her injuries suddenly deteriorated sharply in the middle of the night, and she passed away this morning.

It has been confirmed that Zhao Hui belongs to the prime minister.

Emperor Huiwen Longyan was furious, and wanted to punish the two according to the law for the crime of "ignoring the discipline and beating the court officials to death". Marquis Pingyang and Marquis Wu'an presented evidence of Zhao Hui's corruption and breaking the law, trying to prove that his son was killing harm for the country .

All the ministers also pleaded for mercy.

In the end, Emperor Huiwen exempted the two from the death penalty, and they were exiled for three thousand miles. At the same time, Pingyanghou and Wu'anhou, who had no way to teach their children, were fined for one year.

After this incident, the reputations of Pingyang Marquis Mansion and Wu'an Marquis Mansion plummeted, and the two families were in the same situation.

It is said that the woman named Jingxiang went to the land of exile with Zhou Tao.

Waving his hand to stop the courtiers from fighting each other, Emperor Huiwen turned his eyes to his beloved daughter who was always calm as water, and said gently: "Jiu'er, what do you think?"

"Father Hui" saw Sima Chun's suggestive gaze, and Qingyun curled his lips: "Although Jing Zhaoyin is a third-rank official, it is related to the security and stability of the entire capital. It can be said that he has a heavy responsibility. If there is no calm and decisive ability, if you can't be selfless, Mr. Zhao is a lesson from the past."

The implication is that if Mr. Zhao had no selfish intentions, if he had decisively brought Wang Ming and Zhou Tao back to the Yamen at that time, nothing would happen later.

For a moment, there was no sound in the Golden Luan Hall, and everyone was thoughtful.

Emperor Huiwen, who had been in the center of power for a long time, instantly understood the thoughts of his beloved daughter, and after a little pondering, he said majesticly: "Su Zihan must come forward."

"The minister is here." Su Zihan, who stood at the end, took a few steps forward and knelt down.

"Jin named Su Zihan as the third-rank Jing Zhaoyin, and he will be in charge of the affairs of the capital from now on!"

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

Thinking that this Su Zihan was only a sixth rank editor of the Imperial Academy, unknown, powerless, powerful and background, no one took him seriously. I didn't expect that he has been promoted several ranks all at once. What is he relying on?What is the meaning of the emperor's move?

The prime minister vaguely figured out the emperor's intentions, and it was precisely because Su Zihan had no background that he would not be biased. More importantly, he supported the nine princesses to participate in politics in line with the emperor's wishes. With the addition of Tian Dutong's [-] Xiaowei Battalion, the entire capital is under the Emperor's control.

The prime minister stepped out of the queue and said: "Qi Zou, Your Majesty, Mr. Su is young and inexperienced, so I'm afraid he won't be able to take on this important task. Your Majesty, please think twice."

"Please think twice, Your Majesty." The prime minister echoed.

"The prime minister's words, the veterans don't agree." Han Jingwen said slowly: "Many of the people present here are not from young years? And the importance of the safety of the capital must be very clear to all colleagues. If you are not careful, you will repeat the same thing. Lord Zhao's mistake."

All the ministers silently agreed: There are many powerful and powerful people in Beijing, and the relationship is intricate. There is no need to lose your life for a small post of Jing Zhaoyin.

"The emperor's sage will make this decision, and the veteran also believes that after this tempering, Mr. Su will become the pillar of the country." Han Jingwen looked at the gloomy prime minister: "Prime Minister, we are getting older, this is the key to protecting the stability of the country." Sooner or later, the heavy responsibility will be handed over to these young people, did the Prime Minister say so?"

The prime minister opened his mouth to refute, but after seeing Emperor Huiwen's deep gaze, he finally said nothing.

And Su Zihan took a deep look at Qingyun: "The minister leads the order to thank you!" He kowtowed and returned to the queue.
