In the lobby of the Ministry of Justice, Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi sat in the main seats, while Ma Jixiang and Li Yuanyin sat on both sides respectively.

Facing the confessions of Huang Fengyuan, Huang Rizhang, Su Mingfeng and others, Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi were in trouble.

They are different from Ma Jixiang and Li Yuanyin, so they think more.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether Huang Rizhang and others admit treason. Anyway, rebellion is a death sentence. There is no doubt that there is no mercy towards rebels in all dynasties.

The key is how to characterize this case to have a smaller or better impact on the North Korean bureau.

Needless to say, it is better to be treason and rebellious. The emperor is definitely unwilling to expand the contradictions brought about by the new policy, nor is he willing to make a reputation for killing people because of disagreement in politics - although no matter which cause the rebellion of Huang Rizhang and others, he should not be rebellious.

"What if I report to the emperor on the charge of treason and rebellion?" Lu Daqi asked Huang Zongxi.

"As a minister, of course, you have to share the worries of the emperor. However, this confession must be changed. If you want to handle it, it will be a case." Huang Zongxi replied.

"Two lords, the officials think it's inappropriate." Seeing that the two of them didn't ask for his opinions, Ma Jixiang was displeased and bowed and raised different opinions.

Ma Jixiang made a lot of efforts in investigating this case of rebellion. Since Xing Xiaozao reported the case, the emperor handed over the case to him. He started by following Yue Bao and slowly dug out Huang Rizhang, Su Mingfeng, Chen Jitai, Huang Fengyuan and others one by one. It can be said that he was the person who worked the most for this case.

It is precisely for this that he feels that his right to speak should be more important.

The imperial intelligence network has become the sharpest weapon in the hands of the emperor in his hands. Moreover, he has just made great contributions in Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren anyway. He feels that although he is just a commander of the Jinyiwei, he should have his own place among the big bosses in the court.

Therefore, seeing that Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi did not seek their own opinions, they immediately expressed their opposition - he had to strengthen his sense of existence.

"Oh? Lord Ma, what are your opinions? Please tell me." Lu Daqi glanced at Ma Jixiang and said lightly.

That glance revealed a strong disdain and said to himself: "You know nothing about a hawkish-like character!"

He and Ma Jixiang are both old men from Zhaoqing, but their relationship is not good. The key is that Lu Daqi is very noble and looks down on military men like Ma Jixiang. In his opinion, it is their literati who have to govern the country. People like Ma Jixiang can only be thugs, and they cannot do big things.

"Mr. Lu, the official believes that we are ministers, loyalty is the best. This case should be reported to the emperor truthfully. How should we be the emperor be the leader? How can we be ministers bypass the emperor and make decisions without authorization? What is the difference between deceiving the emperor?" As soon as Ma Jixiang opened his mouth, he brought the emperor out, and he kept saying the word loyalty. He thought that these words were spoken upright and righteously. You, Lu Daqi and Huang Zongxi, wouldn't you dare to deceive the emperor even if you are a great scholar?

"Master Ma, if you talk about loyalty, Lu asked himself that you don't have to be too little, why should you make excuses and make the crime of chaos? Being loyal is the best and being able to relieve worries for the king and father is a loyal and capable minister. How can you know the mystery of this case?" When Lu Daqi heard this, he immediately scolded him seriously.

"Mr. Lu, the lower-ranking officials are not as knowledgeable as you, nor are they as knowledgeable as you. But the lower-ranking officials understand that Your Majesty has a wise ruler, and he is the most wise. How can you let your ministers deceive? We just need to put the actual information on the throne and judge it. We can only act according to the order. Could it be that Lord Lu thinks he is more wise than Your Majesty?"

How could Ma Jixiang tolerate Lu Daqi's reprimand? He immediately rejected it.

The hat became bigger and bigger, and Ma Jixiang's smug look made Lu Daqi's face so angry that his face turned yellow. His goatee was sticking out and he was panting, but he was speechless.

Or it is disdain to distinguish.

"Mr. Lü, Commander Ma, we are ministers in the same palace. What can't we discuss? If you have something to say, don't hurt the harmony." Huang Zongxi saw that the two of them had a dispute, and quickly stood up to persuade him.

"Mr. Lu, Commander Ma is very right. We ministers should indeed tell the truth to the emperor. That is pure loyalty." Huang Zongxi said to Lu Daqi.

"Huang Taichong! How can you mix with Xixi?! It's also easy to be a peacemaker?" Lu Daqi didn't expect that Huang Zongxi would speak to Ma Jixiang. He had a good impression of Huang Zongxi, but this disappointed him a little.

"Mr. Lu, you're so bearded, why are you so angry?" Huang Zongxi turned his body and prevented Ma Jixiang from seeing his expression. He blinked at Lu Daqi twice.

Lu Daqi didn't understand what Huang Zongxi was doing, so he didn't say anything. It depends on how Huang Zongxi handled this matter.

"Commander Ma, let's do it. You have participated in every process of this case from secret investigation to arresting people to interrogating criminals, and you have the most say. Otherwise, you report the case to the emperor in its entirety, and then we will act according to the order. How about?" Huang Zongxi turned his face and said to Ma Jixiang with a smile.

"If you want to talk about this case, the officials are indeed a bit hard work. However, if the officials report to the emperor, they will never bury the three great masters' contributions. Since Lord Huang said that, the officials will come to the palace to meet you and say goodbye!"

Ma Jixiang fought for the report of the case and felt very excited. He said some scenes proudly, and turned around and left.

Li Yuanyin knew that he was just a so-called man, but because the case involved the imperial guards, the emperor ordered his name and asked him to participate in the case. As long as everyone was caught and not caused the imperial guards to be uneasy, his mission was completed. As for how to judge and report, he didn't care.

So, he kept sitting next to him and drinking tea without interrupting.

Not speaking does not mean that he cannot see the true intentions of the three. Seeing that Ma Jixiang was talking to Huang Zongxi, Ma Jixiang was foolishly unaware of the situation. He smiled in his heart and quickly stood up, stopped Ma Jixiang, bowed, and said, "Three lords, the officials are still busy with military affairs, so let's take it first. As for how to investigate the case and how to report it, it depends on the three lords to decide. Yuan Yin has no objection."

After saying that, he quit.

On the way, Li Yuanyin thought to himself: "You think they are all very smart, but have you ever thought that the emperor is the smartest person in the world. Can you hide his tricks from him? It's a joke. When I go back, I will write a memorial and report today's affairs to the emperor."

...

When Lu Daqi saw Ma, Li and others left, he said to Huang Zongxi: "Taichong, why should he offend Ma Jixiang?"

"It's not a question of offending. He has indeed made some contributions during this period and his mentality has become a little inflated. As the commander of the Jinyiwei, having an inflated desire for power is not a good thing. If he can understand his own weight through this matter, it will always be a good thing for the court."
