At that time, in the imperial city, on the Jinluan Palace, there were no less than ten court officials kneeling.

These people are roughly divided into two factions, the prince's line and the Linwang party.

The two sides were at loggerheads over whether it was unfavorable for the inspection of the patrol camp under the jurisdiction of the prince because of the incident in the capital last night, and whether the prince should be held responsible.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn and solemn, and there was even a hint of tension.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have their own music!"

Just as the two sides were at a stalemate, a slightly old voice suddenly sounded above the main hall.

Ji Guozhong, who secretly accepted the benefits of King Lin and was coerced and lured by the imperial history, held a jade plaque in his hand, crossed the column, and knelt down to the emperor Qin Chenglang.

"Excuse me, what is the performance of Ji Zhongcheng?"

Qin Chenglang did not want to express his position in the court over the current dispute among the courtiers.

He knew that Ji Guozhong was like a fox, he had always only expressed his opinions on small things, and he loved and diluted mud when he encountered big things, so when he saw that he had something to do, his cold and unhappy face eased slightly, and even his tone was gentle.

However, Ji Guozhong's next words slapped him in the face.

"At the foot of the Son of Heaven in the Didu City, overnight, the mansions of six court officials were attacked by killers, resulting in the tragic ending of five gates being destroyed and more than 400 people becoming the souls of the sword. However, the clues given by the Criminal Department that the murderer who slaughtered five court officials were committed by one person......"

As Ji Guozhong's words continued, more and more eyes were focused on him above the court.

After speaking, he knelt down and bowed to himself, and urged the emperor to condemn his guilt.

Ji Guozhong's voice echoed in the Golden Palace for a long time, Qin Chenglang on the throne was as heavy as water, and his whole person exuded a low-pressure atmosphere, like a prelude to a storm.

As an emperor, the most intolerable thing for him is the disobedience and persecution from his courtiers!

Ji Guozhong's words were clearly based on the events of last night, and the so-called popular will was used as a weapon, intending to force him to surrender to Prime Minister Han Zhengxi.

If you can use this to strike down or even bring down the prime minister, it will be extremely unfavorable to the crown prince, and it will even affect the court situation.

At present, the Eastern Qing Dynasty is peaceful and peaceful, whether it is as Qin Yichen's father or from the perspective of the emperor, Qin Chenglang does not want any change in the court situation.

But Ji Guozhong's official worship of Yu Shi Zhongcheng already has the right to supervise, and the things he plays are also within the authority, and the words are sonorous, even if he has a side purpose, he can't dismiss his advice because of this.

The atmosphere above the court hall became treacherous and subtle because of the silence of the emperor and the Manchu civil and military.

Han Zhengxi is not only the prime minister of the dynasty, but also the grandfather of Qin Ying and the crown prince.

Ji Guozhong is pressing like this, the prince has a gentle and elegant personality, and he can still be restrained.

However, Qin Ying is used to killing on the battlefield, and his anger is already heavier than ordinary people.

Ji Guozhong's blind persecution made his face completely gloomy, and the dense cold aura exuded from his body was like a substance.

Even though there are hundreds of officials standing neatly on the top of the main hall, which are very popular, it also makes people feel that the wind is gusting and the back is cold, like falling into the cold and cold hell.

Some officials couldn't help but shudder, this year's winter seems to be much colder than in previous years......

In the weird and cold hall, Qin Ying glanced at the prince, the prince nodded very slightly, and he stepped out of the ranks, bending down towards Qin Chenglang on the throne: "Father, the sons and daughters have different opinions." ”

In public and private, the prime minister can't have an accident, and at this time it is inconvenient for the prince to speak, so he will come.

His face was grim, his voice was clear, and the whole gave people the feeling that there was nothing but coldness and danger.

"Tell me about it."

Qin Chenglang's face was slightly softened, and his tone was quite gentle, obviously wanting to warn the officials below through this move not to blindly obey Ji Guozhong.

At the same time, Qin Chenglang has both the identity of emperor and father, Qin Chenglang not only loves his sons, but also has a slight defense against them.

Qin Yichen is the prince he chose to enter the East Palace, there is no need to do anything, the imperial throne of the Eastern Qing Dynasty will be sat by him in the future.

Qin Chenglang knew his son too well, and knew that most of the reasons for his courtiers to win over some courtiers were because of the helpless move made by King Lin in order not to shake his status and even protect himself.

Although there are certain courtiers under his command who are loyal, whenever he accepts a newcomer, he will always know him as the emperor in various ways, which can be regarded as a heartfelt expression from the side.

Qin Yichen's over-cautious nature as a crown prince had also made him suspicious, and he had instructed several officials to join his camp.

However, in the end, it was discovered that although the prince occasionally exercised his privileges, he did not do anything unusual.

On the contrary, it was King Lin's side, and there were constant small movements in the open and in the dark.

raising the dead; Privately received with some court officials; Recruit a lot of capable but extremely vicious Jianghu guests......

Qin Chenglang is sure that although there is no direct evidence that last night's incident is related to King Lin, the final truth will definitely be related to him.

And Ji Guozhong has changed his past state, and with today's words and deeds, I am afraid that it will be inseparable from it!

He could tolerate some friction between their brothers, but he would never be indifferent to the fact that his family and country were treated as child's play.

"Erchen has synthesized all kinds of evidence, and it has been determined that the murderer who slaughtered the five court officials is the person who has been rampant in the Mocheng area for decades, but suddenly disappeared after being injured three years ago, slaughtering a knife - Liu Zhan!"

At this point, Qin Yingxi's cold gaze suddenly turned to Ji Guozhong, and asked in a deep voice: "I don't know what Lord Ji thinks, what does Wang Jing think compared with Xuanyuan Jing, the city lord of Mocheng?" ”

"This ...... The lord of Xuanyuan City guards one side, and his prestige spreads far and wide, although Wang Duwei is the captain, it is difficult to match it. ”

Ji Guozhong knew that Qin Ying's question was not conducive to him, so he replied very reluctantly.

He had heard rumors about a knife.

The only way for this person to stay sane and improve his skill after practicing evil skills is to use the blood of women and children as a guide to refine the elixir and take it regularly.

Because of this reason, he has caused countless killings and has been spurned by the entire martial arts, but anyone who has a little conscience wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.

However, in the space of ten years, thousands of people died under his black knife, and almost no one could hurt him.

In order to completely eradicate this cancer, Xuanyuan Jing issued a heroic post and invited heroes from all walks of life in the martial arts to join forces to set up a formation to kill him.

However, the final result was that Xuanyuan Jing and both of them were defeated, and although there were many heroes in ambush, they still let a knife escape.

Since then, a knife has disappeared completely, and some people even suspect that he died of his injuries.

To this day, Qin Ying personally said that he would commit another crime with a knife......

Ji Guozhong's brows were deeply furrowed, and his face was blue and white for a while.

Seeing the change in Ji Guozhong's complexion, Qin Yingying swept over King Lin, whose face was gloomy, and looked at the emperor above the throne again.

"Father, Xuanyuan Jing's ability is known throughout the dynasty, Liu Zhan has been rampant in Mocheng for many years, but he can't eradicate it, which shows that Liu Zhan's title of slaughter is not groundless."

Qin Ying slightly restrained the murderous aura on his body, and there was a little pain in his tone: "Even so, after all the patrols and battalions were dispatched, the ending of not saving any lives was painful, but it was also a helpless thing, how could we distort the facts and blame Wang Jing for dereliction of duty?" According to Lord Ji's logic, if you really want to be held accountable, you should also punish Xuanyuan Jing for ......"

Ji Guozhong didn't want to be an enemy of the prince's family, but he was cornered by King Lin.

Now that the plan to drag the prime minister into the water and damage the prince's power failed, he couldn't please King Lin, and offended the prince's family, and even possibly offended the weird-tempered Xuanyuan Jing.

If he continues to stay in Didu, this muddy water will inevitably drown him.

He is really unwilling to be cautious for a lifetime, but in the end he still can't escape the end of a happy ending.

Now, only by leaving can we find a way to live.

Qin Chenglang had long been dissatisfied with Ji Guozhong and had planned to cut him down, but seeing that he took the initiative to resign, he pushed the boat down the river and nodded in agreement.

However, although Ji Guozhong was sent away, his previous words could not be directly ignored.

Qin Chenglang pondered for a while, and said majestically: "Du Lieutenant Wang Jing is ineffective, although there is a reason for the incident, it is difficult to escape the blame, and now he is stripped of his position as Du Lieutenant, demoted to an ordinary soldier, and shall not be promoted within three years." The prime minister's recommendation is improper, and he should be convicted, but he reads that he is the elder of the three dynasties, and the merit is in the community, and he is punished to think about it behind closed doors for a month, and copy the three scriptures of "Dizang Sutra", "Lengyan Sutra", and "Sutra of Death" 100 times each, and set up a dojo after a month to pray for the deceased. ”

"The emperor is benevolent and holy, and the guilty ministers are in charge."

Han Zhengxi waited for Qin Chenglang's voice to fall, and immediately knelt on the ground to thank him, the prince then bent down, and Qin Ying also knelt to the ground.

The discerning minister immediately knelt on the ground with the three of them, and the shouting and cheering suddenly dissipated after a while.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction, and King Lin saw the scene in front of him, knowing that his father had once again chosen to stand on the side of the prince, and if he said too much at this time, he would definitely be disadvantageous to himself.

He clenched his fists unwillingly, knelt down hatefully, and the officials of his party knelt down when they saw him like this.

Subsequently, Qin Chenglang issued an order in front of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military.

The Department of Death and Criminal Punishment cooperated with each other to fully investigate the case of the murder and the case reported by Liu Hu.

During this period, any decision made by the first division of the ministry does not need to be reported, but the two cases must be clarified within 10 days.

If you don't do it, you must be severely punished!

An early dynasty finally ended in the different minds of everyone.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, the two Qin Ying brothers stepped out of the Jinluan Treasure Hall side by side, walking in the huge palace city, and Han Zhengxi caught up after himself: "Qin Ying, Grandpa is very grateful to you for the matter of Fang Cai." ”

If it weren't for Qin Ying coming forward, Ji Guozhong would be speechless with just a few words, and he would probably be dethroned today.

"I'm just thinking about my eldest brother, you don't need to thank me."

Qin Ying Junyan didn't have much expression on it, since Shen Weiran's incident, his relationship with the Han clan was no longer harmonious.

He finally let go and found Jiang Chuge, a beloved, but their father and son almost killed him in the prison of the Criminal Division.

In the past, he really can't let go.

If it weren't for seeing that Han Zhengxi was already old, Qin Ying would not have come forward to help today.

"Grandpa, Qin Ying is not good at expressing himself, don't mind."

The prince didn't want the relationship between Qin Ying and Han Zhengxi's ancestors and grandsons to be so stiff, and he said good things on the side.

Han Zhengxi's heart sank slightly, barely squeezing out a smile, his old face was full of sincerity, and his voice was full of vicissitudes of life through thousands of rivers and mountains: "Qin Ying, in the past, we were out of proportion as elders, Jiang Chuge is a good girl, you take advantage of the opportunity, grandpa believes that you can be happy in the end." ”

Some time ago, he once again sent someone to investigate Jiang Chuge carefully, and found that although his origin was a mystery, she was a kind and wise woman, not a pickled person in the queen's mouth.

Although they are still not very worthy of Qin Ying, if Qin Ying does not marry her, they are not unacceptable, but the queen has to take a lot of effort to persuade her.

Seeing that Han Zhengxi actually said this, although Qin Ying's face was still indifferent, the emotions in his heart were surging.

He is a man, not a beast, and he cannot be completely ruthless.

No matter how indifferent he is, deep down in his heart, he cares about these relatives after all.

"By the words of my grandfather, Jiang Chuge and I will be happy!"
