"Manager Zhao, why are you here in person~?"
Dongjun government office.
The person who came to convey the order was Zhao Song. Although this person had no rank, he was the person closest to the power center of the Tang Dynasty. No one dared to ignore him, not to mention that Cui Junchuo had just heard the news that Cui Yunhan was exiled to Qiongzhou. , Zhao Song, the chief eunuch, came with the imperial edict. All fools knew that the Cui family was going to be in big trouble.
"Haha, we are here to see the wealthy compound of the Duke's mansion~! I wonder how Duke Dong is doing these days~?"
Zhao Song's face was full of smiles, but his smile made people unhappy. Maybe this was a smile hiding a knife~!
When Cui Junchuo heard Zhao Song's two words, the expression on his face suddenly froze completely. After a long moment of silence, he said: "Thank you, manager, for your concern. I am all well~!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Song sighed and said: "But your Majesty has not been having a good life recently~! There are always some people who can't live a comfortable life, but have to do some shameful things secretly, and this People like this also think that they are doing it secretly and no one will notice it, but they don’t know that if they don’t want others to know about it, they have to do it themselves~! Your Majesty is watching~!”
After saying that, Zhao Song stared at Cui Junchuo with deep eyes, without blinking. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became stagnant. The panic in Cui Junchuo's eyes flashed away, and then he stepped forward and cupped his hands:
"This kind of person is really hateful~! The Holy One is diligent and caring for the people, and takes care of everything, but he still has to work hard for such a villain. I have been deeply favored by the Emperor, but I can't share the sorrow of the Holy One and uncover the evil spirits behind the scenes. I am ashamed of the Holy One~ !”
As he spoke, Cui Junchuo burst into tears. Looking at his appearance, anyone would think that he was a rare and loyal minister.
The expression on Zhao Song's face did not change at all, as if he had not heard Cui Junchuo's words at all. Cui Junchuo expressed his feelings for a long time, but did not receive any reaction from Zhao Song. If he knew about creatures like clowns, he would definitely You will feel like a clown now.
"Ahem~!"
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and Cui Junchuo finally couldn't help but clarify the topic and said: "I wonder if General Manager Zhao is here today. Why do you want to see me?"
Zhao Song's face became solemn and he stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty ordered us to come here. His Majesty wanted us to say a few words to you~!"
Cui Junchuo said hurriedly: "Then I will ask people to set up the incense table to welcome the imperial edict~!"
Zhao Song said: "No need~! We are just here to convey a few words of His Majesty's oral instructions, and we don't have any imperial edict. Just listen to me, Mr. Dongjun~!"
Cui Junchuo's heart was beating fast, and he quickly raised his hands and said: "General manager, please speak, I am all ears~!"
Zhao Song smiled and said: "We have just finished what your Majesty wanted to say to the Duke. We have to return to the palace now. Please take care~!"
After that, he didn't care whether Cui Junchuo reacted or not, and left directly.
"Have you finished~? Are you finished~? What he just said is that if others don't know, you have to do nothing. Does it mean that the Holy One already knows about Snake Spirit Mountain~?"
Cui Junchuo stared at Zhao Song's leaving back and murmured that his face had never looked so pale before, and he looked much older.

"Cui Yunhan was exiled to Qiongzhou~?"
In the evening, Li Mansion.
Li Zexuan's eyes widened, he looked at Brother Ji in front of him, and asked in shock.
He still has some basic historical common sense. He knows that Qiongzhou in this era is completely different from Qiongzhou in the previous life. With the current transportation level, it would be good if Cui Yunhan can reach Qiongzhou alive. Even if he is still alive there, this kid The rest of his life is considered useless, and being exiled to that place is no different from being beheaded.
Pang Feiji nodded excitedly and said: "Sir, this is absolutely true~! Moreover, Jiang Cuihua has also been exiled to Qiongzhou. With these two role models, I wonder who will dare to come to the house to cause trouble again~!"
"Yeah~! Not bad, not bad~!"
Li Zexuan stood up with satisfaction and took small steps in the room. He did not expect that Li Er would be so cruel and show no mercy to the Cui family. It seemed that he had said what he said in front of Li Er at noon. It worked.
"Hey~! It seems that Lao Li still cares about engineering~! This will save a lot of trouble in the future~!"
Li Zexuan thought proudly in his heart.
Unlike other emperors of later generations, Li Er had a strong character and was very independent. Once he made up his mind to protect a person, that person would generally be safe as long as he did not commit suicide.
"Sir, shall we continue to investigate the Cui family~?"
Pang Feiji asked tentatively.
After following Li Zexuan for so long, Brother Ji still knows Li Zexuan very well. He estimates that Li Zexuan asked him to investigate the Cui family before, mainly because of the results of the handling given by Li Er. Li Zexuan may not be satisfied, but now looking at Li Zexuan, He was obviously satisfied with Li Er's handling result, so he asked this question.
Li Zexuan muttered: "Check it~! Regardless of other things, I am also very curious about whether the Cui family has done anything dirty in recent years~!"
Although Cui Yunhan was crippled, Li Zexuan was not completely relieved. After all, the Cui family is a thousand-year-old family~! Who knows if the other party will resort to some tricks~? Prepare the "black materials" first so that you can be prepared when you need to use them in the future~!
"Yes~! Sir~!"
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~! Have you heard~? Cui Yunhan was exiled to Qiongzhou~!"
In front of the Hongwen Hall, a group of students who had just finished school were walking on the street in small groups. One of the students suddenly said.
"How is it possible~? Cui Yunhan only stayed in Dali Temple for less than three days, how could he be convicted so quickly~?"
"Yeah~! Dongfang Ruo, where did you get the unreliable news~?"
"It's true~! My father is the headmaster of Dali Temple, can the news I got be false~? It is said that it was His Majesty's personal decree that Cui Yunhan was exiled to Qiongzhou and will not be allowed to serve as an official in the court for the rest of his life~! Moreover, Jiang Cuihua, who took the lead in causing trouble in front of the man’s house in Li County, was also exiled to Qiongzhou~!”
"Hiss~! Your Majesty, this is..."
"It seems that you can no longer speak ill of engineering studies~! Your Majesty is obviously supporting the Li County man~!"
"Tsk tsk~! Fortunately, I didn't go make trouble that day~! Otherwise, wouldn't I have to live in fear all day long~?"
The punishment Li Er gave to Cui Yunhan is not a heavy one. For scholars, their biggest wish is to gain fame and be ranked in the court. And now Cui Yunhan's example makes all of them unable to help but feel fear in their hearts. From this On the one hand, the purpose of killing chickens to scare monkeys has been fully achieved.
