The Ninth Prince didn't want to say it to Chi Wan. He wanted to wait and see what happened to Xie Yutang before making a decision.

In the capital, General Zuo returned to the dynasty with a great victory, and the emperor was really happy for a while, but before this joy had completely passed, someone had an accident.

Speaking of which, the person who had the accident was the only son of the official book.

Because of the single transmission of several generations of the Shangshu family of the Ministry of Officials, there is only this single seedling, and the whole family sees him as if he is an eyeball, and he has grown up doting on him since he was a child. The only seedling raised is arrogant and willful, eating, drinking, prostituting, gambling, bullying men and women, there is nothing he is not proficient in, but he has not made any progress in his studies.

Du Miao Miao is very lustful, in addition to visiting the flower building, she also likes to rob beautiful girls. This time, it was also because he fell in love with a girl and wanted to snatch someone back to be his twelfth concubine, however, the girl already had a fiancé and refused to obey. Dumiaomiao thought of a way to find someone to beat the girl's fiancé to death.

Unfortunately, this matter was bumped into by Jinyiwei, and he directly sent the person to Dali Temple. This case is extremely bad, because after Du Miaomiao beat someone to death, he still arrogantly said that his father was a secretary of the ministry, and there was no way to arrest him, and sooner or later he would be acquitted.

As a result, public outrage was triggered.

Dali Temple was hindered by the people's anger, and wanted to behead Dumiao Miao to show the public, and the officials were so anxious that they entered the palace overnight and asked the emperor to call the shots.

The emperor angrily smashed the teacup directly on his head, and said angrily, "The good son you taught, you still dare to ask me to be the master, I don't cut him with a thousand knives, it's already for your sake, you get out!" ”

The official department of Shangshu cried and cried, said that he would not leave, and then in the Jinluan Palace, quarreled with Dali Temple and the Criminal Department, and the imperial history then participated in a stroke, and pulled out a lot of things about the Ministry of Shangshu.

For example, in the performance appraisal, if you don't give him a gift, you will be given an inferior grade, and for example, if the new science and technology jinshi, if it is not from his side, he will not give people arrangements, and so on.

After reading the excerpt, the emperor was angry with smoke on the top of his head, and on the spot let the black gauze hat of the official department of the secretary be removed, and the person was arrested in the prison, and when the official department was arrested, he also shouted, "Your Majesty, you have to think twice, the water is clear, there is no fish, what Wei Chen did, although it was wrong, but it did not reach the point of unforgivable sin, please Your Majesty to investigate." ”

The emperor hesitated a little, what the official department said was indeed right, the water is clear, there are no fish, and he also understands this truth, so if the officials below are not too greedy, he will turn a blind eye and just treat himself as if he didn't see it.

Just when the emperor hesitated, Jinyiwei sent more powerful evidence, and when the official department Shangshu and the Hanlin Academy presided over the scientific examination, they privately leaked the answers to the test questions.

At this time, the emperor deliberately wanted to protect him, but there was no way, and the official Shangshu was imprisoned.

That night, Xie Yutang received a letter from the bird, and after reading the contents, he smiled slightly, the first one, out, next, who will be the turn?

The king of Chu also received the news at the same time, his expression did not change, and he burned the letter on the candle flame, but there was no trace of smugness between his eyebrows.

Although it was to bring down the emperor, the king of Chu was also really cold when he learned that the imperial court had raised such a batch of moths. After all, this is their family's country.

The emperor may not have known about these things before, but in order to cultivate his own power, he chose to ignore them and let them develop, and in the long run, the court will be full of people who are vegetarian in these corpses.

Just right, take this opportunity to wash it down.

The little chamberlain came in, and suddenly saw the cold face of the king of Chu, and was startled, why did the prince have such an expression?

He rubbed his eyes, the King of Chu had returned to his usual appearance, and said softly, "What are you doing in a daze, what does this king want, bring it." ”

The little chamberlain hurriedly presented it, not daring to think about it again.

In his heart, he secretly warned himself that no matter how the prince is, he is also a prince, and he must not slack off.

The matter of the Ministry of Officials is not over yet, and immediately after, the Household Department Book has an accident again.

This matter, but it was revealed by the Hubu Shangshu himself, he drank with a group of people, and after drinking, he said that the silver of the Shangshu Mansion was more than the national treasury, and this time he stabbed the hornet's nest, I don't know who it was, and quietly spread the news, and soon, the whole capital knew that the Hubu Shangshu was richer than the emperor.

After waking up on the second day, he was so frightened that he almost didn't fall off the couch, and he didn't even have time to put on his official robe, so he hurriedly entered the palace and took the initiative to ask the emperor for his guilt, saying that he was just talking nonsense after drinking.

However, the emperor was now suspicious of him, and no matter how much he wept, he was unmoved. All groundless winds have a certain basis, and the emperor firmly believes in this.

A few months ago, Chengguo invaded the border passes, the treasury was shy, and the Hubu Shangshu was unexpectedly unexpectedly disappointed, and the emperor thought of these things, and couldn't help but be extremely disappointed with the Hubu Shangshu.

Hubu Shangshu wants to cry without tears, he is indeed rich, and he can talk about being rich and rivaling the country, but he is usually very careful, never exposing his wealth, even the residence, has not been renewed for many years, compared to other officials, he is a three-grade Hubu Shangshu, and now he can only squeeze into a three-entry courtyard, which can be said to be extremely shabby.

For so many years, the head of the household department has been cautious, taking one step at a time and seeing three steps, but he has never made a mistake, why did he say it after drinking this time.

Tobe Shangshu recalled bitterly, how did he say it, but he couldn't remember anything, there were too many people at that time, everyone drank together, and he didn't care so much, who knew that someone would give him out.

No, this must be premeditated, Hubu Shangshu was suddenly startled, and suddenly thought that someone at the banquet frequently advised him to drink, and he was not very familiar with that person, and it seemed that he was in Jinyiwei.

Jinyiwei is close to His Majesty, and he is usually responsible for the security of the imperial city, so these officials usually dare not offend them, and they have to do everything possible to build a good relationship, he didn't think so much at that time, and now when he speculates, he can't help but break out in a cold sweat on his back.

From the official department to himself, it is not even ten days, and there must be a problem in the middle.

Hubu Shangshu hurriedly wanted to enter the palace and report the news to the emperor, but before he could enter the palace, Jinyiwei surrounded Shangshu Mansion.

"Listen, my lord, I will be ordered to come and arrest you, Shangshu Mansion is now under the control of Jinyi Guard, everyone in the mansion must all move out after an hour, otherwise, you will bear the consequences!" The deputy commander of Jinyiwei said these words coldly, without giving the other party the slightest chance to defend himself.

Finished. At this time, only these two words appeared in his mind, and he knew that his general trend had gone, and he collapsed to the ground in despair.

On the day when the Hubu Shangshu Mansion was raided, half of the people in the capital came to see the excitement.

When boxes of silver were carried out, everyone was stunned, a household secretary was so greedy, what about the others, what would be the scene in the homes of other officials in the imperial court?

When the people are struggling for life, these people use their power to embezzle huge amounts of property, and they are in their positions instead of seeking their own government, which is really chilling.

In the past, the son of the official department relied on his father's power and disregarded people's lives, and then there was the household department of the secretary who embezzled huge sums of money, and the people had unprecedented suspicions about the imperial court.

The emperor's subordinates are all such people, can they really govern Dongxuan well?

After learning of the people's concerns, the emperor was furious and ordered the Criminal Department and Dali Temple to unite and purge the court.

At this time, up and down the court, people's hearts were fluctuating, many old foxes watched the current situation, and retreated bravely. Almost everyone in the entire court was in danger, and not only that, but there were also several assassinations in the capital.

Early in the morning, the emperor lost his temper in the Jinluan Palace, and scolded all the officials one by one, until everyone couldn't raise their heads, like a grandson.

The Emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

There have never been so many problems in one go before, and behind this, someone must be muddying the waters.

The emperor's face was cold and terrifying, no matter who it was, he would pull people out and cut them with a thousand knives.

The emperor urgently summoned the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and secretly arranged a lot of tasks, and after General Zuo received the order, he led people to patrol the capital day and night, which made some ministers panic, and they were afraid of being secreted if they drank wine.

It was late at night, and the emperor was still in the imperial study to correct the folds, Xiao Anzi picked out the lanterns a few times, and seeing that the third watch was about to end, he had to remind him loudly, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you go to rest, otherwise how can you break your body?" Now the future of the entire Dongxuan is tied to you alone, you must take care of the dragon body. ”

The emperor is now looking at the dynamics of the hundred officials presented by General Zuo, his face is as heavy as water, with ten lines at a glance, but he is constantly sneering in his heart, these ministers, when facing him, they have one attitude, and they have another attitude behind his back, which is really hateful.

Just when the emperor purged the court, King Chu and Xie Yutang got the news as soon as possible.

Both of them are fairly stable now, and the emperor doesn't have time to trouble them, and when this wave of purges is over, the next thing will be simpler.

If it had been before, Xie Yutang would have been very patient, he would wait for the emperor to dig his grave and then jump into it himself, and they would be responsible for covering it with two layers of soil.

But now, he is very anxious, unprecedentedly anxious, Chi Wan has been out for a long time, but no news has come in. The two people he arranged before also lost people, and I don't know why, the worries in his heart have been lingering.

Where will Chi Wan go, will she be in danger alone, Xie Yutang can't wait to get out, but now is not the time, they have been laying out for so long, if at this juncture, he suddenly escapes from prison, the emperor will definitely think of them, once they are vigilant, when the time comes, it will be difficult for them to fight back.
