Before the conclusive evidence of the Investigation Department, Zou Chang's first identity was still an official of the Star Empire. With this sentence, Ren Tianxiang immediately understood what Xingheng meant.

This purge affected the entire Star Empire, and a number of officials in the major provinces of the Star Empire found out some problems to a greater or lesser extent, or were dismissed and imprisoned, or demoted. Although the imperial court had already planned for this purge and the positions vacated by the purge were basically taken over by officials who had already prepared for it, when the purge was carried out, it still caused a lot of public opinion.

Let's ask, an official who seems to serve the people wholeheartedly who is usually kind to the common people is suddenly arrested, and the reason for being arrested is either corruption or treason against foreigners, and no one can fully accept it for a while. And such officials, among all the officials who have been dealt with, are not a few.

Some people say that this is because His Majesty Xingheng and His Majesty Xingyao have fallen out, so His Majesty Xingheng suddenly dealt with the officials in His Majesty's era at this time, and replaced all the officials in these positions with people from his own camp. And after that, His Majesty Xingheng can make a move on His Majesty Xingyao, and when the time comes, he will abdicate and get the position of commander of the three armies, and then make his son Xinglie a puppet emperor, so as to achieve the situation of unifying all the power of the Star Emperor State.

It is also said that the Star Empire has now been eroded by the other three empires, and the bureaucratic system of the entire Star Empire is basically crumbling. And His Majesty Xingheng's purge has cleared out most of the officials of the Star Empire, leaving an empty framework of a bureaucratic system, but there are no officials who can fill these gaps.

There are still many people singing about the decline of the Star Empire, although there are also many people who support this great purge, but these voices of support are gradually suppressed by the more disseminated singing and decay, and they are gradually not visible.

Most of these arguments are fabricated, but many of them are indeed inferred from the judgment that the court of the Star Empire is crumbling. But among so many arguments, none of them are correct, according to Ren Tianxiang's understanding, the current Star Emperor not only has a very complete strategy, but even after cleaning up these officials, the future development of the Star Emperor Kingdom Province is also in His Majesty Xingheng's plan.

In fact, it is not difficult to see from those arguments that there are shadows of other countries behind these statements - maybe the Dragon King Empire disdains to do these things, but the Longquan Empire, as the loyal support of the Dragon King Empire, must have intervened in this, and as for the Wind and Snow Empire, it can only be said that there is a very high possibility that it interfered.

However, these should all be in the plan of Xingheng, the majestic emperor, so even if the Great Purge has been carried out to such a critical point, and the public opinion in the Star Emperor Kingdom has reached a peak, the Star Emperor Imperial Court still handles government affairs step by step, and there is no appearance of being affected by public opinion at all.

However, this is also because the current public opinion is under the condition that Xingheng can control, but if the public opinion is out of control, this is not a good thing for the imperial court. That's why Xingheng reminded Ren Tianxiang that he must find out about this matter, and he couldn't arrest Zou Chang without a basis - Ren Tianxiang could even imagine how much public opinion unfavorable to the imperial court would swell after he arrested Zou Chang in advance.

After thinking about these things clearly, Ren Tianxiang nodded at Xingheng very seriously and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will remember this, and you can leave the rest to me with confidence." ”

"Okay, I'll send the shadow guard to follow you in this matter, but don't have any hope for the shadow guard, the shadow guard I sent to you doesn't have much combat power, just to contact Star City. If you really get into a life-and-death dilemma...... I can't do anything about it. ”

"Yes, I see. ”

Xingheng nodded, and after that, he took out a letter from the storage ring he was carrying, and handed it to Ren Tianxiang with his right hand.

Ren Tianxiang immediately took it with both hands, and at the same time heard Xingheng say: "This is a letter of appointment for you, and the inspector team with this thing will obey your orders." At the same time, with this letter of appointment, he has the privilege of being in Xifeng Province, and he can mobilize the strength of the Criminal Prison Department and the city defense army in the provincial capital. Of course, in the end, with this mandate, you can investigate anything you want to investigate, and if someone tries to stop you, I will allow you to do it first. ”

"Your Majesty, I understand. Ren Tianxiang gently opened the letter with a somewhat trembling voice and took it out to confirm its contents.

I saw a yellow paper edict taken out of the letter, which had the following sentences written on it:

"Today, Ren Tianxiang, a member of the Dragon Regiment, is fully responsible for the case of Zou Chang, the city lord of Linshi City, who is in Xifeng Province, and is accused of corruption. This letter of appointment shall take effect throughout the province of Xifengxing, and those who hold this letter of appointment shall act as the emperor's prosecutor, and those who obstruct the investigation of the case shall be allowed to be cut first and then played. ”

There is still a faint fragrance of ink on this yellow paper, as if it has only been written for a short time.

Looking at the words on this letter of appointment, in connection with what Xingheng said, Ren Tianxiang finally realized what kind of power he had - and such power must not be said to be small.

It seems that Xingheng is really angry because of the assassination of the first-level prosecutor, no, it can even be said that he is angry. Since he can't come forward to deal with this matter, then he has carte blanche to entrust Ren Tianxiang to deal with it - "acting for the emperor's procuratorial powers", this is not a simple power, this is already equivalent to Ren Tianxiang serving as Xingheng's minister, and he is still the kind of minister with very great power!

However, Ren Tianxiang is not going to take out this letter of appointment casually, just take it in the team of inspectors, after all, this letter of appointment can make the governors of the provinces obediently obey his orders, and Ren Tianxiang feels that it is better not to abuse this kind of power. Of course, if it is very necessary, Ren Tianxiang doesn't mind taking out this letter of appointment to support the scene and scare people.

"Since you have taken this letter of appointment, you can be regarded as a member of the imperial court...... Well, count it half. Xingheng tapped the table with his index finger and said slowly, "In the future, on formal occasions, you will also call yourself a 'minister', and it seems a little nondescript to always use the words 'I'." ”

"Yes, I see. ”

"Alright, you can go back and get ready. Xingheng nodded and said, "If you can, try to set off within this week, you have the identity of the deputy captain of the Dragon Regiment's leading team, and the military teleportation array along the route of Xifeng Province is also at your disposal, so I won't know much about the road so as not to expose your whereabouts." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty...... The ministers will set out within a few days, and they will never delay this matter. Whenever he mentioned the word "minister", Ren Tianxiang had to unconsciously become serious, as if he was now an important minister by the emperor's side - although there was nothing wrong with this statement, after all, he was still a member of the Dragon Regiment, and he was a combatant of the Star Emperor under the management of His Majesty Xingyao.

"Go back, I'm going to continue to review the folds. Xingheng waved his hand casually at Ren Tianxiang, then picked up the topmost copy of the fold from his left hand, opened it and began to read it.

Ren Tianxiang saw that Xingheng didn't have any plans to continue to pay attention to himself, so he leaned over Xingheng slightly, and then prepared to open the door and leave the imperial study.

"Wait. ”

"Is there anything else Your Majesty is up to?"

“...... If this is done, I will leave you a mansion in Dongcheng District. ”

"Yes, the minister will not fail His Majesty's trust!"

"Alright, you can get out. ”

The minister retired. ”

After quickly leaving the imperial study, Ren Tianxiang saw that the waiter who brought him in before was still waiting for him outside, so after saying goodbye to Zhang Ying who was guarding the door, he followed the waiter towards the east gate of the palace.

Seeing that Ren Tianxiang followed the waiter and gradually walked around the corner and couldn't see a figure, Zhang Ying gently knocked on the door of the imperial study, and then walked directly into the imperial study.

"Your Majesty, Ren Tianxiang is gone. ”

"Well, I see. Xingheng didn't raise his head, just nodded and said.

Zhang Ying seemed to have something to say, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated again. It wasn't until Xingheng noticed that something was wrong with him, raised his head and looked at him with a stern gaze, that he asked:

"Your Majesty, don't you really need to arrange shadow guards by Ren Gongzi's side? Anyway, he is also the sweetheart of Her Royal Highness the Princess, if anything happens to the princess, we will not be able to explain it to Her Royal Highness. ”

"I said no, naturally I trusted Tianxiang and believed that he would be fine. Hearing what Zhang Ying said about this matter, Xingheng buried his head again and said, "And...... If he has been living under our wings, how can he grow?"

"But the wind...... After all, it is more closed than other provinces, Zou Chang dares to assassinate Kou Zhemao, and he dares to commit suicide again, Ren Gongzi, I am still afraid of ......"

"Don't worry, Zou Chang doesn't dare. Xingheng shook his head and said, "Tianxiang is now the agent of my authority to investigate the case, if he is killed again, even if the officials of the entire Xifeng Province will have to be reshuffled once, it is not in line with the interests he wants to pursue." ”

"Since this is the case, the subordinates are no longer worried. ”

"That's right. What you need to worry about is whether Tianxiang can see Zou Chang's tricks, and ...... He dared to implicate so many people at once. Oh, the things in Linshi City are very interesting.

"If Tianxiang can't even handle this little thing, how can he talk about assisting Xiaolie in the future, I think it's better for Ling'er to come. ”
