With Xia Zimo's order, Xia Ziyan began to investigate the money problems of the officials in the DPRK and China, and everyone was in danger. And Xia Zimo's purpose is to use this means to attack the people in Jiang Shilian's camp.

"Lord Zhang......" Xia Ziyan came to the palace gate and said to a minister who was kneeling down: "This king has been ordered to investigate the problem of corruption, and the available evidence shows that you have taken advantage of your official position over the years to embezzle 500,000 silver dollars of public funds. The king will take you back for interrogation ex officio. ”

After speaking, Xia Ziyan gave the guard behind him a gesture, and the guard took Master Zhang away. Zhang Da still shouted in his mouth, "Wronged, wronged......"

It is rare to take people away directly in front of the palace gate in this way, and it also makes everyone see that the work of corruption this time is to attack them. But they have a good case for doing so. The emperor is an official who investigates and punishes corruption for Jiangshan Sheji, and Xia Ziyan is in the form of the emperor's name, and there is evidence in his hand. Let those ministers have nothing to say.

After Lord Zhang was taken away, Xia Ziyan did not leave in a hurry, but squatted in front of the kneeling minister and said, "You should all see it, the result of the confrontation with my imperial brother is like this." Lord Zhang is just the beginning, all the corrupt account books have them, and they have to deal with them one by one. That's all for today, and if you're still here tomorrow, the king will have to get serious. ”

Xia Ziyan's words can be regarded as a warning, and he also hopes that the people who kneel in front of the palace gate tomorrow will obediently go to the court, otherwise they will really make a big move. It is necessary to investigate and punish these people, but if a dozen ministers are clear at a time, it will also shake the foundation of the imperial court. However, if they really don't back down, even if they will shake the foundation, they can only come to the real thing.

After Xia Ziyan left, the ministers panicked and asked Jiang Shilian: "Lord Jiang, what can I do about this?" If Lord Yan continues to investigate, we will all be finished. ”

Jiang Shilian is also gloomy now, how can this be good, Xia Zimo has already provoked the hearts of the ministers, and it will be difficult to sustain the kneeling matter. And he knelt for a few days, and his body was a little unbearable, but he was reluctant to give up. He knew very well in his heart that he was not strong enough for Xia Zimo to dare not touch.

By the next morning, there were really a few fewer ministers who knelt down. Those who are missing are naturally obediently going to the court. Xia Zimo looked at the extra ministers in the court, and sneered in his heart: These people are really soft bones.

Of course, on this day, there are still ministers who kneel and admonish. So Xia Ziyan came to them again, took one of them away on the grounds of corruption, and took out some evidence to show those people that he really had everyone's corruption records.

"Lord, lord...... Don't take me away, I'm just here to see the situation today, and I'm going to go to the court tomorrow, so let me go, prince. The minister knelt in front of Xia Ziyan and kowtowed frantically and begged for mercy. With the amount of money he embezzled, at least it was all beheaded, how could he not be afraid?

Xia Ziyan looked at him coldly and said, "It's too late to beg for mercy now." ”

After this little episode, the ministers who knelt down were all scared, and before Xia Zimo came back from the court, they all dispersed one after another.

Another day passed, when he went to court, Xia Zimo saw that except for Jiang Shilian, the other ministers had returned to their positions.

"I didn't see Master Jiang in front of the palace gate, and he didn't come to the court, so I'm curious where he went?" Xia Zimo asked.

"Back to Your Majesty, Lord Jiang is sick and can't come to the court today." A minister replied.

Jiang Shilian's behavior just happened to be in line with Xia Zimo's intentions, and he said: "Master Jiang is not young, it is estimated that he is tired from kneeling in front of the palace gate in the past few days, so let him rest well, and he will not have to go to court in the near future." ”

Jiang Shilian wanted to continue to fight against Xia Zimo on the grounds that he was sick and didn't go to court, but he didn't expect to be directly cooled aside by Xia Zimo, which really outweighed the loss.

With such a change in the court, Qiu Luoxue's heart has been comforted. But before she could be too happy, another tricky thing came.

"Report ......"

On this day, Qiu Luoxue was discussing government affairs with Xia Zimo, and suddenly a soldier who reported the news came, he was holding an urgent letter in his hand, and no one dared to stop him after entering the palace, so he went directly to Xia Zimo.

"Report, King Chen transferred troops to the capital, and under the banner of the Qing monarch's side, he asked His Majesty to remove Prime Minister Qiu from his official position." The soldier said, whether it was what he said or the situation he was facing, he was in a hurry.

Qiu Luoxue's eyes were full of shock, she knew that King Chen's real purpose was not to Qingjun's side, but to use this banner to intend to rebel. Now Xia Zimo can only remove Qiu Luoxue from his official position according to his request to save the people from the war.

King Chen led the soldiers, set out from the territory, and went to the capital in a mighty way, he recruited troops along the way, and finally expanded to hundreds of thousands. Among them, there are naturally well-trained soldiers, and there are also people who are confused by King Chen.

In addition to Xia Zimo, many people received the news. Sending troops to the capital is a big deal, and spies from all countries will get the news. They will follow this situation to seek some of their own interests.

After Xia Ziyan got the news, he set off for the palace without making any stops. Because in addition to the news of King Chen's mutiny, Xia Ziyan also got another heavy piece of information, which must be told to Xia Zimo.

In addition, Beize, Nanliang, Chuyang and other countries also got the news. In Beize's palace, the eldest princess was still elegant and dignified, and after learning the news, she muttered: "It seems that Daqin is also eventful." ”

Su Mufei from Nanliang also got the news, he remembered his sister who was still in Daqin, and immediately arranged: "Send someone to Daqin to pick Mu Yi back immediately." Also, I want to write a letter of resignation to the emperor of Great Qin. ”

Chu Yang, on the other hand, was the most down-and-out of the Seven Kingdoms, and their monarch had also secretly established an alliance with King Chen, so after getting the news, he sent troops to harass the borders of Great Qin.

"General, Chu Yang has sent troops to harass the border again." Nie Yuan, who was at the border, heard the news.

A trace of murderous intent flashed in Nie Yuan's eyes, and he said, "It seems that I haven't taught them a good lesson last time." Gather all the soldiers and set off. This time, we have to fight all the way to Chu Yang's territory and let them know how powerful Great Qin is. ”

Chu Yang has never dared to start a large-scale war with Great Qin, and only sent a small force to harass him. This time they were making trouble in the border area, and suddenly they saw yellow sand rolling in front of them.

"What? What's going on there? Is a sandstorm coming? Chu Yang's soldier asked.

Along with the rolling yellow sand, there is the sound of horses' hooves and the sound of neat running. It wasn't until the yellow sand gradually dispersed that Chu Yang's soldiers saw clearly that it was not a sandstorm, but the soldiers of Great Qin. In the past, Great Qin only dispatched a small number of cavalry, but this time there were tens of thousands of them.

"What's going on? Is Great Qin going to war with us? Rewind...... Hurry back to camp. Chu Yang's general shouted.

A dozen people versus tens of thousands of people, the gap is still not small. Seeing that Great Qin was menacing, Chuyang's soldiers quickly withdrew to Chuyang and collapsed. Nie Yuan looked at the fleeing soldiers, raised his horsewhip, clamped the horse's belly, and let the horse run quickly. His horse was very good, and it didn't take long for him to catch up with Chu Yang's soldiers, swing his long sword, and cut off the general's head mercilessly.

Daqin's soldiers followed the commander forward, slashing Chu Yang's soldiers, and in the desert yellow sand, flesh and blood flew everywhere.

Xia Zimo received the news that King Chen sent troops to the capital, and he couldn't say that he wasn't worried, but his appearance was very calm and didn't show too much emotion. Because he knows that at this time, the people and the ministers need a strong support, and that support is him, if he is also flustered, then the people and the masses will also be in chaos.

"Immediately let the commander of the Yulin Army and the lieutenant officer of the lieutenant belong to me come to see me." Xia Zimo ordered methodically.

The Yulin Army is the forbidden army, which is in charge of the safety of the palace, and the highest person in charge is the commander. The lieutenant is the city defense battalion, in charge of the security of the capital, and the highest commander is the lieutenant. Xia Zimo asked the top officials of these two institutions to come to see him, of course, to discuss the matter of defending the city.

"What Your Majesty should do now is not to send troops, but to depose my phase." Qiu Luoxue looked at Xia Zimo and said.

"I don't want to do that." Xia Zimo said.

"Do you want to start a war because I am the one who started the war, and the people are in the midst of war?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

"Between me and King Chen, there will be a battle sooner or later." Xia Zimo said that he understood this very well, and the war was only a matter of time.

"Even then, the reason why I don't want to start a war is me." Qiu Luoxue said, "Besides, you can obviously make a peaceful transition and know a little bit about King Chen's power. ”

"It would be nice if it could be like that." Xia Ziyan's voice suddenly appeared, and Qiu Luoxue turned her head to look at him.

Xia Ziyan silently walked to Qiu Luoxue's side and continued: "But at present, it seems that a peaceful transition is impossible. ”

"Why can't it be?" Qiu Luoxue asked.

Xia Ziyan took out the superstition he received and said, "This is a letter from Xu Zhonghang, King Chen...... There is a secret base in the territory, and the number of soldiers trained according to the standards of dead soldiers has reached tens of thousands, and it is difficult for our soldiers to resist these people on the battlefield. In addition, King Chen has cronies in the garrisons in various places, and once the war breaks out, these people will defect one after another, which will greatly reduce our strength. Finally, King Chen has already formed alliances with various small countries and promised heavy benefits, once the Great Qin fights internally, they will send troops to attack the Great Qin and contain the troops on the border, and then the Nie Army, the Red Feather Army, and the Fenglin Army will not be able to assist the capital. ”

The importance of Xia Ziyan's words, Xia Zimo and Qiu Luoxue both know, which means that once the war starts, they will be in a state of isolation.

"King Chen has made these preparations, and he will not see the power being cleared." Xia Ziyan added, "So a peaceful solution is impossible. ”

"But as it stands, it's absolutely impossible to go to war." Qiu Luoxue said that she was already very worried, and after listening to Xia Ziyan's words, she was even more at a loss.
