Meng Wu got up and returned to the ranks of the generals, and Yao Jia stood up again and said

"The king, this matter is implicated in many people, and I also ask the king to order a thorough investigation of this matter, and all the conspirators must be arrested."

"The widow understands, and this matter will be handed over to the court lieutenant to take care of." Ying Zheng said.

"The king has a lot to do in this matter, I'm afraid that Tingwei has limited manpower, why don't you let others assist Yao Shangqing in the investigation, Chang'anjun has always been famous, why don't you let him assist Tingwei?" Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Ying Zheng and said.

"The Queen Mother is slow, Chang'anjun may not be able to take on this big responsibility, someone once saw Mi Shuo go to visit Chang'anjun with a lot of money." Lu Buwei said.

"What do you mean? Are you questioning Chang'anjun's complicity with these chaotic parties? Empress Dowager Huayang said.

"It's not that the minister suspects, this is Chang'anjun's submission yesterday for some people who have contributed to the disaster, but after the minister's investigation, some of the names of some of them actually have those in the chaotic party, so the minister has to remind the queen mother that he is not suspicious of Chang'anjun." Lu Buwei said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Ridiculous, how could Chang Anjun participate in the chaos of the party?" Empress Dowager Huayang said.

Just when Lu Buwei was about to speak, a sound of the Empress Dowager drove to the hall, everyone looked up, Empress Dowager Zhao-Zhao Ji came to the main hall with her entourage, and the attendants carried the bench to the other side of Yingzheng.

"Meet the Queen Mother!"

"No courtesy." Zhao Ji said casually.

"Why is the Queen Mother here?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji and asked.

"I heard that today's court discussion has not ended for a long time, so I came to take a look, and I also heard some things about today's court meeting on the way." Zhao Ji sat upright and said, the queen mother's aura was wide open, and the ministers below lowered their heads and did not dare to raise their heads.

Everyone present knew that this was a game between all the forces of the Qin Dynasty, Lü Buwei's prime minister's lineage, Empress Dowager's Chu line, and Zhao Ji's Zhao line, everyone felt a sense of crisis, and no one was sure whether they would be victims of this game.

"The queen mother's matter is ......," Ying Zheng said about it.

"Chang'anjun has always had a good name, but the prime minister should be cautious, it is better to send someone to check and return Chang'anjun to his innocence." Zhao Ji said unhurriedly.

Cheng Chan's face changed below, the matter of asking for merit and recommendation was indeed reported by him, and just yesterday Mi Shuo sent a lot of jewelry and money, saying that it was to thank him, and Cheng Chan did not refuse, and the support of money was indispensable for attracting courtiers and cultivating forces.

The Empress Dowager Huayang looked at Cheng Chan's face and knew that the situation was not good, so she said

"Then check it, if Chang'anjun is really in the same league with them, he will not be spared."

"Then let Tingwei check it out." Ying Zheng said.

"No, the minister will send someone to investigate." Yao Jia said.

"No need, yesterday the minister's subordinates saw a group of people driving a carriage to Chang'an Jun's Mansion, and the minister felt that there was something wrong at that time, so he sent someone to catch the person who was driving, which was interrogated by the minister." Lu Buwei took out a roll of bamboo slips and said.

Ying Zheng nodded, Zhao Gao took the bamboo slip and handed it to Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng didn't change much after reading it, but gave it to the Empress Dowager Huayang, and finally to Zhao Ji.

"The prime minister said that someone gave a bribe to Chang'anjun, and the amount of bribes on the bamboo slip is right?" Zhao Ji said.

"That's right, whether it's true or not, just search Chang'an Jun's Mansion to know." Lu Buwei said.

"What does Chang'anjun have to say?" Zhao Ji looked at Cheng Chan and said.

Zhao Ji and Lü Buwei's goal is very clear, that is, Cheng Chan, even if he can't take Cheng Chan's life, he must let Cheng Chan no longer have the ability to compete for the throne, Zhao Ji is in the harem and knows everything about the harem, including Cheng Chan's biological mother, Empress Dowager Xia.

Cheng Chan's biological mother, Empress Dowager Xia's mother, is a native of Chu, so Empress Dowager Huayang will support Cheng Chan, and now Empress Dowager Xia's body is getting weaker and weaker, I am afraid that there is not much time, as long as Cheng Chan's power is suppressed with the help of this incident, Cheng Chan will no longer be able to turn the sky.

"After all, it's the prime minister's one-sided words, Chang'anjun, what is this matter for yourself?" Empress Dowager Huayang asked.

"Back to the king, the queen mother, Mi Shuo did come to visit me with money, but in order to let me buy food for him in order to help the people in the disaster area, and the list of people recommended and asked for merit was set after consulting with Mi Shuo, who knew that this person actually conspired to collude with the place, it was the ministers who knew no one and almost made a big mistake, and asked the king and the queen mother to punish the crime!" Cheng Chan was extremely heavy when he said the word punishment, his heart was already dripping blood, and he knew that he would have no chance to turn over after this time.

"Since it was Mi Shuo who asked Chang'anjun to buy grain, naturally there is no such thing as bribery, which can only be said to be Chang'anjun's unknown knowledge." Empress Dowager Huayang said.

"The queen mother's words are different, the minister heard that Mi Shuo went to visit Chang'anjun with treasures three times before and after, if it is to buy food, I'm afraid it won't be so much, right?" Lü Buwei continued.

Empress Dowager Huayang's face sank, and the courtiers below quarreled over this matter, the Chu family thought that Cheng Cheng was an unknown person, and the prime minister and the Zhao family thought that Chang Anjun was suspected of taking bribes.

"Enough!" Ying Zheng said

"The purpose of Mi Shuo's visit to Chang'anjun is unknown, and when Tingwei investigates clearly, he can naturally give Chang'anjun an innocence, but Chang'anjun knows no one and almost recommends a small man, so he has to be punished, fined for one year, and thinks about it behind closed doors at home for three months, deprived of the court's qualifications, and after Tingwei's investigation is clear, he will be sent back to the fiefdom and work with the people for a year as a punishment."

Ying Zheng's words came out, everyone gasped, Cheng Cheng lowered his head and his face was full of ruthlessness, these punishments seem to be painless, even if it is to deprive the court, it is only a temporary matter, but repatriation to the fiefdom, this means that Chang'an Jun is no longer qualified to compete for the throne, unless Ying Zheng dies unexpectedly or rebels.

"Tingwei has limited manpower, and Changping Jun has always been famous, so he ordered Changping Jun to be responsible for assisting Tingwei in investigating this disaster, do you have any objections?" Ying Zheng continued.

Ying Zheng knew that after this time, Cheng Cheng would no longer be able to compete with Ying Zheng for the throne, so it was better to sell his favor to the Chu department, so as to win over the Chu department, after all, the power he could use in his hands was too little, if the Chu system really collapsed, then the entire court was Lu Buwei's Yiyantang, plus after this incident, the Chu department would inevitably suffer a lot of blows, and at this time, the co-optation would definitely be effective.

The ministers looked at the Ying Zheng who decided the case, and understood that this king was no longer the puppet who was resigned to people before, and had already shown his fangs for power, which made these ministers not know for a while that was good and bad, but the generals were really happy about it, because they needed an ambitious king, only in this way could they have more opportunities to make achievements on the battlefield.

"There is no objection to the minister." Lü Buwei was the first to say.

"The ministers have no objections."

"What about the two queen mothers?" Ying Zheng looked at Zhao Ji and the Empress Dowager Huayang beside him and said.

"The mourning family has no objections." Zhao Ji said.

Empress Dowager Huayang's face was a little ugly, and in the end she just sighed and said, "The mourning family has no objection, so let's do it." ”

"In that case, this is the end of today's court discussion." Ying Zheng said with a smile on his face, today's court meeting is the happiest since he succeeded to the throne, for the first time he is no longer the role of resignation, but the role of making the final order, which makes him very excited, and his heart is even more grateful Ziyou, without Ziyou, he simply can't profit from the competition between the sandpiper and the clam of the Chu family and the prime minister, and after today, he also has his own power in the court.
