The name Lu Yuanzhen was no stranger to Li Ling.
As a virtuous official who was as famous as Wang Pingchang,
Lu Yuanzhen's prestige in the court was extremely high.
He and Wang Pingchang supported the cabinet.
At the same time, it also supported the entire Da Feng!
"How could it be Lu Yuanzhen?"
Li Jin Nian also found it unbelievable.
In his impression, Lu Yuanzhen was a famous official. History books also praised him.
It was really difficult for him to associate Lu Yuanzhen with a treacherous official.
At this moment, the Chinese netizens who were watching the live broadcast were also in an uproar.
Lu Yuanzhen was a famous official who had appeared in the history books. Everyone found it hard to accept this fact.
"
Professor Li, you're an authority in this field. What do you think about this?"”
Li Shuhe frowned slightly.”
"I've studied Lu Yuanzhen before, and I don't think there's anything wrong with him.”
Just now, when Li Jinnian and Li Ling were flipping through the books to find out who the person who served as the prefect of Lin 'an more than 20 years ago was, Li Shuhe already knew that it was Lu Yuanzhen.
He was an expert in the study of Da Feng's history, and Lu Yuanzhen was a virtuous official who was as famous as Wang Pingchang.
Therefore, he was very clear about Lu Yuanzhen's background.
"That chef said that Shen Shichang offended the magistrate at that time and was later charged with treason. In the end, his entire family was executed.”
"But I haven't seen this in any history books.”
Li Shuhe said truthfully.
When he said this, the netizens found it unbelievable.
There was no record of this in history.
There were only two possibilities.
One was that the chef was lying.
One was that someone had deliberately erased that part of history.
If it was the latter, it would make people shudder.
"F * ck, could Lu Yuanzhen be the biggest mastermind behind the fall of Dafeng?”
"Damn it, I once regarded Lu Yuanzhen as my idol.”
"I feel that the real history is too different from the history books. The court is full of twists and turns.”
"Sigh, I feel that if I were to go, I might not be able to live for more than a month.”
"A month? It would be good enough if they could survive for a week.”
"I suddenly feel that the big club players of the Republic of China still have self-awareness. They know that they are noobs, so they hide.”
"Indeed, not everyone is like God Li, who can command the wind and clouds at the beginning and control the situation in the court.”
The netizens in Xia country were discussing animatedly in the bullet screen.
It was obvious that Lu Yuanzhen's incident had a huge impact on everyone.
In fact, many netizens were unwilling to believe it.
How could such a virtuous official, whose name was recorded in history, suddenly become a treacherous official?
In fact, it wasn't just the netizens from China. Li Jin Nian also found it unbelievable.
Lu Yuanzhen was the second assistant of the cabinet. In terms of power, other than Wang Pingchang, he had the most power in the Great Feng Court.
Moreover, Wang Pingchang was very old. At his age, he had already reached the age of retirement.
It was just that Da Feng really could not leave him, so he had been holding on to this position.
However, everyone knew very well that Wang Pingchang's abdication was a matter of time, and the person most likely to ascend to the position of chief assistant was Wang Pingchang.
It was Lu Yuanzhen.
As a transmigrator from the future, Li Jin Nian knew about it.
Lu Yuanzhen had actually never been promoted to the position of Chief Assistant.
Because Wang Pingchang had always been the chief assistant of the first round until he died of illness.
Less than half a year after his death, Dafeng perished.
"This matter is definitely not simple.”
Li Ling pondered.
Although he had retired from the officialdom long ago, when Ren Justice joined the army, he was also an expert in solving cases.
It was a pity that he offended Qi Yan later, causing his official path to be cut off.
Otherwise, with his ability, he should be in a high position now.
"I'll ask the chief assistant tomorrow. He should know something.”
Li Jin Nian said.
The cabinet system was created when Dafeng was first established. At first, it was just an organization that served as the emperor's secretary. Later, during the period of the former emperor, its power began to rise.
It was undoubtedly the time when the cabinet was at its peak. Under Wang Pingchang's efforts, the cabinet had become the center of the government.
Wang Pingchang was the chief assistant of the cabinet, while Lu Yuanzhen was the second assistant. The relationship between the two should be very unusual.
"If there is a need, I can go to Lin An and secretly investigate this matter.”
Li Ling muttered.
He felt that there might be some shocking secret hidden behind this, enough to shake the entire Great Feng Imperial Court.
"It's too dangerous."
Li Jin Nian shook his head.
He almost dared to conclude that if his father went to Lin 'an to investigate this case.
There was only one ending.
That was, there was no return.
It didn't matter how true or false the chef's words were.
Shen Shichang was charged with treason and his entire family was executed. This must be true.
Therefore, he felt that it was impossible for Lu Yuanzhen to have no problems at all.
Moreover, Lin 'an City was so far away. If his father went alone, it would be very easy for an accident to happen.
"It's fine. I'll be careful.”
Li Ling waved his hand.
If he was even afraid of this, then he would not have endured the immense pressure to sentence Qi Yan's son to castration.
Back then, a bunch of ministers and even his immediate superior came to help Qi Yan persuade him.
However, he still castrated Qi Yan's son.
Otherwise, he would at least be a third-grade official now.
Because Qi Yan had promised him a bunch of things back then.
Therefore, sometimes, it was just a matter of a thought to go from an upright official to a corrupt official.
If one could not resist the temptation, they would be corrupted and walk down a path of no return.
"No, Lu Yuanzhen is now the assistant minister of the cabinet. If there is really something wrong with him, it will be very dangerous for father to go to Lin 'an to investigate.”
Li Jin Nian's attitude was very firm.
Obviously, he was the only one who could investigate such a dangerous matter.
One was that he had enough means to survive, and the other was that he had the ability to investigate the truth of the matter.
Furthermore, this matter was related to Shen Yunshang. Li Jinnian also wanted to find out.
If her father was really wronged, then she would help him clear his name.
It could also be considered as fulfilling one of Shen Yunshang's wishes.
"It's best that Father doesn't interfere in this matter. When the crisis in Northguard Fortress is resolved, I will personally go to Lin 'an.”
Li Jin Nian said to Li Ling.
"Alright then."
Seeing Li Jin Nian's determined look, Li Ling did not insist anymore.
He had long retired from officialdom. With his status, it was indeed not appropriate for him to investigate this matter.
The
next morning, when the sky was still bright.
Li Jin Nian went out to attend court.
The street was still very empty. There were only a few small vendors selling vegetables on the street.
Most of them were from their own vegetable fields. They planted some vegetables and took them out to buy to subsidize some household expenses.
Their advantage was that they were not only cheap, but also fresh.
Li Jin Nian's house was not far from the palace.
If they walked, they would arrive in an hour.
Some of the other ministers basically went in a sedan chair.
Li Jin Nian did not like to sit in a sedan chair. He would rather walk.
After passing through a small alley, he made another turn, then another turn, and finally walked straight for more than a mile before arriving at the Imperial Palace.
Just as Li Jin Nian came out of the alley, a group of masked men in black suddenly rushed out from the corner of the wall.
The shiny long swords stabbed straight into Li Jin Nian's heart.
