Chapter 23: What About the Vassal King?
"The minions don't know, and they don't dare to speculate. Presumably, having seen His Majesty's wisdom, those vassal kings did not dare to have a disobedient heart. ”
Gonggong Cao lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything.
"Wise and virtuous?" Xu Jing seemed to hear a big joke and couldn't stop laughing.
"Gonggong Cao, do you know that the more wise I am, the more fearful these vassal kings are. On the contrary, the weaker I am and the more deceitful I am, the more happy I am to see it happen. ”
"As vassal kings, aren't they afraid of cutting down the vassal domain? The more I indulged in pleasure, the happier these vassal kings became. ”
Xu Jing said slowly, his eyes gradually cold.
These vassal kings have been in a corner of peace for many years, and the last thing they want to see is the appearance of a Ming monarch.
The vassal kings have been in the vassal for three hundred years, and many vassal kings even have only one side relationship with Xu Jing, and they are no longer as close as they were three hundred years ago, so Xu Jing will not hesitate to do it.
It is said that they are of the same clan and the same clan, but in fact, the relationship has long been drifting apart and it is difficult to get along.
"In the near future, there will be vassal kings returning to Beijing one after another, and people will be arranged to watch their every move."
Xu Jing said coldly.
"Minions, let's do it."
Gonggong Cao nodded and immediately went to arrange this matter.
On the other side, in the Xiao Mansion, dozens of officials gathered.
Many of these officials were governors of a continent, and they also arrived in the capital before the end of the year to report on their work.
"Teacher, I haven't seen you for a year and my body is still tough."
The one who spoke was He Wenhao, the prefect of Danzhou.
"It's old, it's useless. His Majesty had already had the intention of letting the old decay abdicate and make way for the virtuous. It won't be long before I am afraid that I will have to return to my hometown! ”
Xiao Daoling smiled, looked at the group of students and waved his hands and sighed helplessly.
"Your Majesty is so ruthless? Teacher, you are the prime minister of the three dynasties, and there is no one in the court of merit. How can the new emperor treat you like this! ”
Although this group of prefects was far away from the capital, they were also extremely familiar with the every move of the new emperor Xu Jing of the current dynasty.
Naturally, he also knew that the new emperor's methods were ruthless and ruthless.
But they are not as fearful as the Beijing officials, and over the years, they have cultivated cronies in various states and have long spread all over the counties and townships, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the emperors of each state.
This group of prefects was confident, and the new emperor categorically did not dare to attack them at will.
Even, this group of prefects was very disdainful of the new emperor.
"Teacher, do you know who did the disaster relief that made the new emperor anxious?"
Then, He Wenhao suddenly lowered his voice and told Xiao Daoling about the disaster relief money and food.
"You're up for you?"
Xiao Daoling's face showed a little surprise, and he also lowered his voice and asked.
This matter has been fermented for half a decade and has already spread throughout the capital.
It's just that to this day, there is only one civilian among the people Xu Jing has found.
This made Xiao Daoling couldn't help but admire, who had such a heavenly means to deceive the Holy Hearing for so long.
"The students were not involved in this matter, but they knew a little about the truth afterwards."
He Wenhao shook his head and said regretfully.
"Oh? You might as well talk about it as a teacher. ”
Xiao Daoling suddenly became interested.
"This matter was done by King Langya! Moreover, there was not only one vassal king involved in this matter. ”
"If any new emperor has the heart to search for the truth, he will inevitably pull out the radish and bring out the mud, and the forces involved cannot be underestimated!"
He Wenhao shook his head and said slowly.
"Out of the Xiao Mansion, this matter cannot be mentioned again."
Xiao Daoling learned that this matter was very involved, and immediately interrupted He Wenhao's words.
He Wenhao was a little surprised, his teacher had never taken imperial power seriously.
Even when the first emperor was in power, he could cover the sky with one hand and be powerful.
Why is he so nervous when facing this new emperor now?
It's just that Xiao Daoling didn't mention it, and He Wenhao didn't want to ask much.
That night, a team of black-clothed men quietly crossed the layers of Jinyi guards and went straight to the edict.
Among this group of black-clothed people, almost all of them are martial artists above the seventh rank, which is extremely rare.
It must be known that in the army, all seven-rank martial artists are all thousand-level facial features, eligible for hereditary treatment, and their descendants have benefited a lot.
"Who, dare to trespass on the edict!"
As soon as this group of night walkers approached the edict prison, they were noticed by the two thousand households guarding the edict and shouted in a low voice.
"Let's go!"
The cup scolded, and the group of men in black turned around and fled without hesitation.
Even if the two thousand households wanted to catch up, they couldn't stop it at all, so they could only let them leave.
"Your Majesty, just now, the edict prison was broken into by a group of people."
Upon learning the news, Gonggong Cao quickly informed Xu Jing of all the news 1510.
Xu Jing, who was asleep, was slightly cold when he heard the news.
In the capital of Daqian, how contemptuous of imperial power is to dare someone to rob a prison.
"Did you catch anyone?"
Xu Jing asked coldly.
"Those who came were all martial artists of the seventh rank or above, and none of them were left."
"Seven pins? It seems that the forces behind this money are really not small. Go, I'm going to interrogate Cao Ting! ”
Xu Jing was completely sleepy, and he had to interrogate Cao Ting that night.
Gonggong Cao was in a hurry and arranged it immediately.
Not long after, Cao Ting, who was shackled, had been escorted into the East Palace.
"Now, I'm giving you one last chance. Confess who is behind the scenes. ”
Xu Jing looked at the audience coldly, and Cao Ting said coldly.
"It's the grass people who say it, what can Your Majesty do? Could it be that Your Majesty has the courage to do something to this group of people? ”
Cao Ting sneered, he seemed to have accepted his fate and sneered.
"I am the emperor of the dynasty, and if I dare to violate the royal law, I will not be spared like a vassal king."
Xu Jing looked at the audience expressionlessly, and Cao Ting spoke coldly.
"What if there is more than one vassal king? What about Your Majesty? Didn't you swallow this breath obediently? ”
"I can tell you that there are three vassal kings involved in this matter!"
Cao Tingha laughed proudly.
Xu Jing's heart sank slightly, he had a guess that he could cause such a big thing and make Jinyiwei unable to search, which was enough to see the huge force behind it.
But he never imagined that behind this, there would be three vassal kings!
"King Langya, King Qi, King Lu, these three vassal kings did it together. Your Majesty, do you have the guts? As long as Your Majesty dares to move, the whole Daqian will change the sky! ”
"How? Does Your Majesty regret it at this moment, shouldn't you be pressing like this? ”
Cao Ting looked at Xu Jing, who had a gloomy expression, and laughed proudly, and said the names of the people behind the scenes one by one.
"Who the hell are you? Why are you involved? ”
No matter how stupid Xu Jing is at the moment, he can guess the identity of the person in front of him is definitely not simple.
There is absolutely no chance for a civilian to be involved in such a shocking case.
"Who are you, could it be that you are still a high-ranking official?"
Xu Jing looked coldly at Cao Ting in the audience and asked.
"The grass people are just a cloth cloth, and their family is even more cheap. But my Shen family has no grievances or hatred with Your Majesty, but they were wiped out by Your Majesty. The grass people are bound to make His Majesty regret it, regret offending the Shen family! ”
Cao listened to the smug words, and looked at Xu Jing's eyes full of happiness.
"The evil things that the Shen family has done are one by one, and one of them is made up by me? The Shen family ended up now, and they are all to blame. ”
"Come on, drag it down and cut it down!"
Xu Jing's expression was indifferent, and he no longer paid attention to Cao Ting.
Now what is full of Xu Jing's heart is the three feudal kings who have united!
"Your Majesty, is this going to end here?"
