In the Heart Cultivation Palace, Emperor Yuan Yong's face was gloomy After listening to a few people talk about Han Qi's death, he was suddenly furious, he didn't expect that there would be a mistake in the foolproof thing, he looked at Wang Zhushan and Shen Ji coldly, and asked, "How are you going to deal with this matter?" ”

When the three of them came, they had already discussed the countermeasures, and Wang Zhushan hurriedly replied: "Although Han Qi has committed suicide in fear of crime, but now that the evidence is conclusive, the ministers will first confirm his crime of forging fake national debts, and then convict him of rebellion." ”

After calming down his anger, Emperor Yuanyong asked in a deep voice: "If Niu Jizong and others are messing around and making trouble, they don't recognize your verdict, and how do you deal with it?" ”

"Rebellion is a great rebellion, the conspirators are guilty of the same crime, and the supporters are also complicit in the rebellion, and the ministers will personally lead the Inspectorate to impeach them!" Shi Liangrui replied, he had already figured out a countermeasure in his heart, those nobles were not clean, it was common to be a traitor on weekdays, if anyone dared to come forward, he wouldn't mind killing chickens and monkeys.

Wang Zhushan also said what he had prepared: "In the past, those nobles who took up the complaint, deceived the public and disregarded the law, ignored the law, and disregarded people's lives, one by one, and the ministers were recorded one by one, and some crimes were not exaggerated even if they were exiled from their homes. ”

Emperor Yuan Yong nodded appreciatively, although these can hit them, but now is not the time to completely deal with them, so he said: "The time has not come now, it is too late, later I will send someone to send the evidence of Niu Jizong's son Niu Yuan's participation in this case, this time there must be no more mistakes, otherwise I will not forgive." ”

"If something goes wrong again, the ministers will let the emperor fall." Wang Zhushan and Shen Ji replied with serious expressions, it is better to cut off one of their fingers than to hurt their ten fingers, knowing that the Holy Single's mention of the Niu family is to take the Niu family to deter others.

Emperor Yuan Yong continued: "Your criminal department has passed on all the personnel of the Changlu Yang family to be escorted into Beijing, and the rest of the prisoners are also imprisoned and waiting to be released. ”

"Obey the order!" Wang Zhushan bowed, knowing in his heart that the emperor wanted to use the families of Yang Hong and others as bargaining chips to force them to defect.

"Go down!" Emperor Yuan Yong said.

After a few people retreated, a sneer appeared on Emperor Yuanyong's face, since the matter has come to this point, then have a good fight, if Niu Yuan also has the courage to kill you on the spot like Han Qi, then why don't I let you go for the time being.

Niu Jizong and Liu Fang left the yamen of the criminal department, and quickly came to the palace of the king of Beijing.

After listening to the two of them about what happened in the court, King Beijing immediately invited the king of Nan'an and the king of Dongping to discuss countermeasures.

After hearing this, the king of Nan'an County was extremely indignant and said: "The deception is too great, the poor nephew of the Han family is so young, he was framed and forced to death by those traitors, it is really heartbreaking, and the anger is hard to quench!" ”

"Yes, Changji's virtuous nephew has always been polite and talented, but he is a rare talent, and it is really sad and regrettable that he was forced by traitors to fight to the death." The king of Dongping County also sighed with grief.

"I am a brother and sister to Changji, today he was forced to commit suicide by touching the pillar, I really can't swallow this breath, no matter what, I have to seek justice for him." King Beijing was angry and sad, angry that he had fallen into the trap of Emperor Yuanyong, and he was sad that Han Qi died and he lost his arm.

"Those people are really hateful, now that Changjixian's nephew is dead, I really don't know how to explain to Brother Han, and I will never have the face to see Brother Han in the future!" Niu Jizong said with grief, and said that he hid his face and wiped away his tears.

As soon as Liu Fang opened her mouth, she was filled with sadness, and almost lost her voice: "Old man, I watched Changji die in front of me, and I couldn't stop it, I am really worthy of the trust of several people." ”

Although several people were sad about Han Qi's death on their faces, they all thought in their hearts that Han Qi died at the right time and committed suicide appropriately, otherwise they and the others would face an extremely passive situation.

King Beijing thought of the heavy losses this time, and successively lost Gu Guan, Han Qi and others, and he was even more angry in his heart, and said angrily: "Let's just let go of our hands and feet and make a big fuss, I'll see how the emperor ends." ”

The king of Nan'an County hurriedly dissuaded: "In my opinion, this matter should not be impulsive, we have fallen into the disadvantage, and it is not appropriate to confront the emperor head-on, we should show the enemy to cry out for grievances with weakness." ”

Liu Fang nodded and agreed: "What the prince said is very true, now that the emperor has the evidence of Gu Xuan and a few people, if we make trouble, it will only make the emperor catch more handles and have an excuse to deal with us." ”

After thinking for a moment, Wang of Nan'an County continued: "Later, let's get the body of the Han family's nephew back and take care of his funeral, first, to force the emperor to withdraw his troops from the Han family, and second, to show our determination. ”

King Beijing was silent for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, just do what Uncle Shi said, this time I will hold a grand funeral for Changji to comfort his soul in the sky." ”

After hearing this, the king of Dongping County was a little worried: "I'm afraid they won't let Changji go easily, and they will definitely fabricate more charges to frame Changji's nephew." ”

The king of Nan'an said with a smile: "This matter is not difficult, we can make a fuss about the three words 'unnecessary'." ”

Niu Jizong's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he complimented: "The prince's plan is very good, if you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, let's show weakness, wouldn't it be better to sit on Wang Zhushan They are fabricating charges and framing Changji's nephew." ”

King Beijing was unwilling to say: "Although this plan is good, but it can only be defended, this king is unwilling, can't we fight back?" ”

The king of Nan'an County said with a smile: "We just need to keep the Han family now, it is better to focus on the Zhaoxin Bureau!" I secretly laughed in my heart that King Beijing was so young that he couldn't hold his breath, and he wanted to do everything in the open.

After hearing this, Liu Fang said thoughtfully: "Does the prince want to attack the west?" ”

"Yes, the emperor made such a big move this time, in the final analysis, he just wants to issue treasury bonds to solve the financial problem, as long as we strangle the Zhaoxin Bureau, everything he did before will be in vain, and even be counterattacked." The king of Nan'an County nodded and said, Bei Zhou is lazy, and there is no doubt about the common, now that the Zhaoxin Bureau is in trouble, it is the best time to make a move.

The king of Dongping County praised: "The shape of the water avoids the height and tends down, and the shape of the soldier avoids the real and hits the void, Brother Wang's plan is very good." ”

Niu Jizong, Liu Fang and others all agreed after hearing this, complimenting Wang Zhiwu of Nan'an County, repairing the plank road in the open, Chen Cang in secret, seeking justice for Han Qi in the open, and secretly aiming the spearhead at the Zhaoxin Bureau.

The king of Nan'an County said with a smile: "The emperor wants to use the fake national debt to ruin our reputation, and we can also do the opposite, and use this matter to stir up the anger of those people against the Zhaoxin Bureau." ”

King Beijing saw that the king of Nan'an County had a deep plan to seize his dominant position, and he was extremely uncomfortable in his heart, and said angrily: "Although this plan is good, I really can't swallow this breath!" ”

The king of Nan'an County understood King Beijing's thoughts, smiled in his heart, and persuaded: "The virtuous nephew doesn't have to be anxious, it's not difficult to get angry, and there are many opportunities, but we don't have to do it ourselves." ”

King Beijing was even more depressed when he heard this, and he squeezed out a smile and asked, "What is the old prince's plan?" ”

The king of Nan'an showed an unfathomable smile and said: "After a while, the envoys of various countries will enter Beijing to see His Majesty, and now the Qianxiang Kingdom has been persuaded by the old man to have inflated ambitions, and they are thinking of testing the strength of the imperial court, we can properly guide them and find some fun for the emperor." ”

After hearing this, the king of Dongping County was a little worried: "The last time the Qianxiang Kingdom sacrificed deer, the emperor was already dissatisfied with them, if it caused another conflict, in case the two countries went to war, wouldn't you be the first to bear the brunt." ”

The king of Nan'an County smiled indifferently: "Hehe, the virtuous brother is too worried, now that the imperial treasury is empty, where does the capital come from to start a war with the outside world, if Qianxiang really dares to do it, it is in line with the old man's wishes." ”

Speaking of this, the eyes of the king of Nan'an County flashed.

When several people heard this, they immediately smiled tacitly, the day Qian Xiangguo made a move, it was the time for them to act.

Although King Beijing was depressed in his heart, he thought that he could vent his evil anger, so he praised the king of Nan'an County for a few words, and then said with a smile: "Let's get together today, why don't we have a few drinks in Xiaowang's mansion before leaving!" ”

Seeing that several people agreed, the king of Beijing ordered a banquet, during which several people talked and laughed and discussed the specific details of the action.

After the banquet, Niu Jizong and Liu Fang came to the Criminal Department to take Han Qi's body.

Wang Zhushan directly refused on the grounds that the case had not yet been concluded and still needed to be tried.

Niu Jizong and Liu Fang had expected that this matter would not be so easy, so they argued with Wang Zhushan and were bound to take Han Qi's body.

Seeing this, Wang Zhushan guessed that they wanted to use Han Qi's death to make a fuss, and he couldn't let them get their way, so he insisted on stopping it.

The two sides did not give in to each other, and the argument was fruitless, so they went home at the end of the day and evening, preparing to theorize again tomorrow.
