The shadow of the famous tree, Dai Muzhi is also a person who has been a captain, it is not an exaggeration to describe him with a high position, and now that he has passed away, not only is the body still in the morgue of the Criminal Department, but even the aftermath of the purchase has to be monitored by others?

This can't help but make people feel a sigh, and it is a great sadness from any point of view!

Traceless glanced at the surprised Tao Mingxi, and slowly explained the potential, unknown things in a hurry.

Now they can only make it clear that there are only two points, Dai Muzhi's death is directly related to the emperor, and the other point is that Taiwei was the biggest protector/umbrella for corrupt officials during his lifetime, not to mention other things, there are still many people who have not been arrested just because of the military salary.

As the saying goes, the tree is falling and scattering, and now that the Taiwei has fallen those corrupt officials who have received his favor, he will definitely look for new protection/umbrella everywhere.

But if Sun Yingru holds an aftermath for Dai Muzhi at this time, what kind of person will he go to worship him? How many of them will be innocent?

They can think of this, so the current emperor of Xing Zhaoguo can also think of this, Xing Tianze has received accurate information.

Not to mention waiting for Dai Muzhi's funeral to be handled, even if any official goes to the Criminal Department to mention the person who asked people to take his body now, they are all closely monitored.

In the millennium of favors, the emperor is now looking for an opportunity to vigorously rectify the internal officials of the imperial court.

According to the information obtained by Xing Tianze, the emperor has now sent people to the major prefectures and counties to select officials with good political performance, and is ready to transfer them back to the capital at any time to replace many people.

This is undoubtedly a big change of blood in the court, and the selected officials will definitely remember the emperor's grace, and the emperor's prestige will reach a peak.

If the corrupt officials in the capital are wiped out, the most vulnerable ones are none other than those ministers who support Xing Tianze.

Under the advantages of one another, Xing Tianze's life in the court will only be walking on thin ice, and the centralized power in the emperor's hands will be more compact.

"Does the princess understand the mystery now?" Traceless asked Tao Mingxi with a smile.

"It's not that the king doesn't get into the favor, it's just that there are too many aspects involved, and this order to lift her grounding is not easy to make." Xing Tianze explained earnestly.

"Even if someone really goes to worship Taiwei, they don't necessarily all of them are corrupt officials, right? The emperor can't kill everyone, right? Tao Mingxi felt that his head was about to get bigger, this was just to prepare for the aftermath of the deceased, and he was able to hide so many killing machines inside.

"Then you really think too highly of the emperor, he has always been a king who would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one." Traceless shook his head slightly.

In fact, there is still a layer of relationship without a trace that did not tell Tao Mingxi that Sun Yingru is Xing Tianze's side concubine, and she is Dai Muzhi's father, so that the fifth prince is the son-in-law of Taiwei.

Now that Xing Tianze is dead, if Xing Tianze doesn't take the initiative to get his body, he will feel that he is unkind and unfilial.

But if he takes the initiative to bring it up, the emperor will also find him trouble, Taiwei is the culprit of embezzlement of military salaries that he personally arrested, such a crime is enough to make him die without a body, if Xing Tianze is now involved in a relationship with him, he will also be suspicious and implicated by others.

"I think you better let Sun Yingru go, she is just your side concubine, and she is the biological daughter of Taiwei, it makes sense for her to come forward." Tao Mingxi decided to make the last insistence: "Even if it is as serious as you say, those corrupt officials are not fools, and they must have prepared a way out for themselves." ”

Wuji didn't open his mouth to put forward any opinions, whether he agreed or opposed, he handed over all his thinking and decision-making power to the prince, Xing Tianze thought about it for a long time and couldn't make up his mind.

None of the three of them said a word, quietly looking at the fire in the stove, and when the charcoal fire was about to go out, Traceless added two more pieces of carbon to it.

"Lord, someone from the palace said that the emperor asked you to attack immediately now to discuss the emergency military situation in the north." A guard knelt respectfully on the ground and reported.

"Got it, you go down first!" Xing Tianze frowned slightly, and told Tao Mingxi about Sun Yingru's affairs, and from today onwards, all the things will be handed over to her to solve.

Before changing his clothes and leaving, Xing Tianze also ordered everyone in the palace to listen, in the future, Tao Mingxi's words would be equivalent to what he himself said, if anyone dared to refute it, he would be severely punished!

Traceless continued to stay in the study and did not leave, and a lot of medicine pots were brought in a row, the Gu poison in Tao Mingxi's body had not been solved, and now it was getting closer and closer to the night of the full moon, and he had not made any progress in solving the Gu.

Faced with such a situation, Traceless not only did not have any frustration, but also a sense of excitement, he had not encountered such a difficult thing for many years......

"Is there anyone who can tell me what's going on in the north?" The emperor roared loudly, his eyes swept over all the ministers standing in the middle of the hall, and all of them quickly lowered their heads deeply, and some even began to tremble slightly.

Xing Tianze lowered his forehead slightly and frowned, on the way to the palace, he had already learned about the general matter, and the Qingcang Kingdom, which was located in the north of the Xingzhao Kingdom, suddenly waved his troops south yesterday.

In just one day and one night, three major cities and six important military towns were captured in succession, the supreme commander of the north was seriously wounded by two arrows, six generals were cut off from his horse, and the loss of more than 47,000 soldiers and horses had reached more than 47,000.

The military defense in the north was powerless under the cavalry of the Qingcang Kingdom, and they retreated to a city called Huangsha and refused to fight.

This can be said to be the biggest defeat that the Xingzhao Kingdom has received since its establishment.

"According to the opinion of the emperor, he should immediately mobilize his troops and horses to the north at this moment, and strive to expel the enemy from the country in a short time." An old minister knelt on the ground and suggested.

"The emperor can't, according to what Wei Chen heard, this time Qingcang Kingdom has gathered a total of 300,000 troops to go south, and it is indestructible everywhere it goes, at this time the enemy is sharp, and our army suffered a big loss and a big drop in morale under the surprise of the enemy, and we should avoid unnecessary wars in order to make peace." Another minister stepped forward and suggested.

"The faction is speechless, my criminal Zhaoguo can be described as a strong soldier, how can I ask for peace when I am so insulted by Qingcang Country this time?" The minister, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up and debated: "Our court is full of generals, and the reason why we have been defeated is because of our lack of preparation, as long as we mobilize our troops and horses, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy army." ”

More and more ministers came forward and divided into two factions, one faction for the sake of war, and the other faction for peace.

"Quiet, what's the point of being noisy in the main hall?" The emperor's face can be described as gloomy to the extreme: "Old Five, tell me, is my dynasty fighting or making peace this time?" ”

"The emperor's ministers and brothers feel that they should fight, and they must fight, and they also need to fight with dignity and speed, and only victory can raise the majesty of our country." Xing Tianze said sonorously.
