"Steward Zhao, why have you come personally?"
East County Duke's Mansion.
The person who came to deliver the imperial edict was Zhao Song. Although this person did not have any rank, he was the person closest to the center of power of the Tang Empire. No one dared to ignore him. Furthermore, Cui Junchuo had just heard the news of Cui Yunhan being exiled to Qiongzhou, and Zhao Song, the head eunuch, came with the imperial edict. Even a fool would know that the Cui family was in big trouble.
"Hehe, I'm here to see the grand courtyard of the East County Duke's Mansion! I wonder if the East County Duke has been well recently? "
Zhao Song's face was full of smiles, but his smile did not make people happy. Perhaps this was the so-called 'there is a knife hidden in a smile'!
When Cui Junchuo heard Zhao Song's words, his expression froze completely. After a long silence, he said, "Thank you for your concern, Steward Zhao. I'm well!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Song sighed and said, "But His Majesty has not been well recently! There are always some people who don't want to live a peaceful life and insist on doing shameful things in the dark. These people think that they are doing it secretly and no one will find out. But they don't know that if they don't want anyone to know, they shouldn't do it in the first place! His Majesty is watching! "
After saying that, Zhao Song stared at Cui Junchuo meaningfully without blinking. The atmosphere in the room suddenly froze. The panic in Cui Junchuo's eyes disappeared in a flash. Then, he stepped forward and clasped his hands.
"This kind of person is really hateful! His Majesty is diligent and loves the people. He has a lot of things to deal with every day, but he still has to worry about this kind of person. I am greatly indebted to His Majesty, but I can't share His Majesty's burdens and find out those evil people in the dark. I am ashamed to face His Majesty! "
As he spoke, Cui Junchuo's tears flowed down. Looking at him, anyone would think that he was a rare loyal minister.
Zhao Song's expression did not change, as if he did not hear Cui Junchuo's words at all. Cui Junchuo expressed his feelings for a long time, but he did not receive any response from Zhao Song. If he knew that a clown was a creature, he would definitely feel that he was a clown now.
"Cough cough!"
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and Cui Junchuo finally couldn't help but get to the point, "I wonder why Steward Zhao is here today?"
Zhao Song's expression turned solemn. He stepped forward and said, "His Majesty ordered me to come. His Majesty wants me to say a few words to you!"
Cui Junchuo hurriedly said, "Then this old man will order people to set up the incense table to welcome the imperial edict!"
Zhao Song said, "There's no need! I'm just here to pass on a few verbal instructions from His Majesty. I don't have an imperial edict with me. East Commandery Duke, just listen to me! "
Cui Junchuo's heart was beating very fast. He quickly cupped his hands and said, "Chief, please speak. This old man is all ears ~!"
Zhao Song smiled and said, "I've just finished what His Majesty wanted to say to the Prefectural Duke. I have to return to the palace now. Take care!"
After saying that, he didn't care whether Cui Junchuo reacted or not and directly left.
"Are you done? That's it? He just said that if you don't want others to know, don't do it in the first place. Could it be that His Majesty already knows about the Snake Spirit Mountain? "
Cui Junchuo stared at Zhao Song's back as he left and muttered. His face had never been so pale, and he seemed to have aged a lot.

"Cui Yunhan has been exiled to Qiongzhou?"
In the evening, at the Li Residence.
Li Zexuan widened his eyes and looked at Brother Ji in front of him as he asked in shock.
He still had some basic knowledge of history. He knew that the Qiongzhou of this era was completely different from the Qiongzhou of his previous life. With the current level of transportation, it would be good if Cui Yunhan could reach Qiongzhou alive. Even if he was still alive, the rest of his life would be wasted. Logically speaking, being exiled to that place was no different from being beheaded.
Pang Feiji nodded excitedly and said, "Lord Jue, this is absolutely true! Jiang Cuihua has also been exiled to Qiongzhou. With these two as examples, I'll see who dares to cause trouble in the residence in the future! "
"Hmm! Not bad, not bad! "
Li Zexuan stood up with satisfaction and paced around the room. He didn't expect Li Er to be so ruthless and not give the Cui family any face. It seemed that what he said in front of Li Er in the afternoon had taken effect.
"Heh! Looks like Old Li still cares a lot about his work! This way, I can save a lot of trouble in the future! "
Li Zexuan thought proudly in his heart.
Unlike the other emperors in the future, Li Er had a strong personality and was very opinionated. Once he made up his mind to protect someone, as long as that person didn't look for trouble, they would usually be safe.
"Lord Jue, then should we continue investigating the Cui family?"
Pang Feiji asked tentatively.
After following Li Zexuan for so long, Chicken Bro understood Li Zexuan very well. He guessed that when Li Zexuan asked him to investigate the Cui family, it was mainly because of the results given by Li Er. Li Zexuan might not be satisfied, but looking at Li Zexuan now, it was obvious that he was satisfied with the results given by Li Er. That was why he asked this question.
Li Zexuan muttered, "Let's investigate! Let's not talk about other things first. I'm also very curious if the Cui family has done any dirty things in recent years! "
Although Cui Yunhan was crippled, Li Zexuan wasn't completely relieved. After all, the Cui family was a millennium-old family! Who knew if the other party would play any tricks again? He had to prepare the "black material" first so that he could be prepared when he needed to use it in the future!
"Yes! Lord Jue! "
Pang Feiji scratched his head. Although he didn't understand what Li Zexuan was thinking, he still obeyed the order and agreed.
…
"Hey, hey, hey! Did you hear? Cui Yunhan has been exiled to Qiongzhou! "
In front of the Hongwen Library, a group of students who had just finished school were walking in groups of three to five. One of the students suddenly said.
"How is that possible? Cui Yunhan had only been in the Supreme Court for less than three days. How could he be convicted so quickly? "
"Yeah! Dongfang Ruo, where did you get this unreliable news? "
"It's true! My father is the head of the Supreme Court. How can the news I got be fake? I heard that Her Majesty personally issued an imperial edict to exile Cui Yunhan to Qiongzhou. He can't be an official for the rest of his life! And Jiang Cuihua, who started the trouble at Li Xiannan's house, was also exiled to Qiongzhou! "
"Hiss! Her Majesty is … "
"Looks like I can't say bad things about gongxue in the future! Her Majesty is obviously supporting Li Xiannan! "
"Tsk tsk! Luckily, I didn't cause trouble that day! Otherwise, wouldn't I have to live in fear every day? "
The punishment that Li Er gave Cui Yun Han could not be said to be light. To a scholar, their greatest wish was to obtain scholarly honors and enter the imperial court. And now, with Cui Yun Han as an example, all of them could not help but feel fear in their hearts. From this aspect, the goal of punishing the chicken to warn the monkey had been completely achieved.
