Wang Baoquan's heart was as clear as a mirror:

The crown prince made a surprise tour of the government hall early this morning, and he must have come to find fault, because the prime minister of the cabinet had issued an order to all of them to strike the court.

He was ordered to stay on duty.

If the so-called good ones don't come, and those who come are not good, their words and deeds must follow the rules, and they can't give the prince any handles.

"It's been a whole decade, and of course it's an old minister in the court, hehe, Wang Baoquan... Are you guilty? ”

Yuan Zhi's expression was narrow, he sneered twice, and scolded loudly for some reason.

"Back to His Royal Highness, Weichen has been conscientious and conscientious, and has been doing errands for 20 years, I don't know what the crime is?" Wang Baoquan was not in a hurry, nor did he reply in a humble manner.

"Get on your knees!" Yuan Zhi shouted.

"Scholars only kneel to the wise king." Wang Baoquan held his head high and did not kneel.

"Hehe, the dead duck has a hard mouth!"

Yuan Zhi's face was hideous, and anger rose from his heart, only to see him take two quick steps forward, raise his leg and kick Wang Baoquan's abdomen.

This kick is full of force, but it is not like the kick that kicked Chen Huaiyuan at the beginning in the Xuanzheng Palace, and there is still room for it.

"Ahh

Wang Baoquan screamed miserably, his body flew away, like a boiled prawn, covering his abdomen with both hands, and screaming in pain on the ground.

A large mouthful of blood spurted out of his mouth.

Everyone at the scene was frightened, and it was not clear why the prince suddenly became troubled, raised his leg and kicked a second-grade master.

"Rebellious maniac, rebel thief! Lone is the prince of the final Jin Dynasty, and all military affairs must be annotated by Lone's Zhu pen before they can be executed! But the emperor's edict has been issued for more than six days, and there has not been a note from the General Administration Department and submitted to the East Palace, and you are the left servant who governs the General Political Division, a second-class member of the imperial court, who dared to resist the decree and disobey the order, and contradicted the prince, who gave you the courage? ”

The pain of broken ribs stimulated Wang Baoquan is anger and completely let it go.

He stared at Yuan Zhi with vicious eyes, and roared loudly:

"Tyrant! Weichen is the left attendant of the political hall appointed by His Majesty, even if he is guilty, he must go through the three halls of trial, and the emperor Zhu Bi annotates the edict before it can be decided. And you are the prince of the prison country for six days, and on the day of the prison country, he killed Chen Xiang first, and then killed the general of the palace guard, this time you want to kill Weichen? Ha ha... It is not a pity for Weichen to die, I am willing to use my death to wake up the scholars of the world, see clearly that you, the tyrannical and unscrupulous crown prince, will depose you as soon as possible! ”

Yuan Zhiqi's tiger eyes widened, and his eyes were also spitting fire, and he shouted:

"Shut up! You keep saying that you are doing an errand according to the order, and you come to ask you, in the past half a year, you have privately submitted a performance to the King of Jin for approval, is it also a bad errand, whose will are you serving? ”

Wang Baoquan was shocked by this cold questioning, and he exclaimed: "You... You're spewing blood, it's a non-existent thing! ”

"Dare to insult Lone Bloody Spray People?"

Yuan Zhi's eyes narrowed, the corners of his mouth twitched, his expression became even more hideous, and he said sharply:

"Wang Baoquan, originally Lone just wanted to depose you, and he was not ready to investigate deeply, it was you who had to seek death, not only seeking death yourself, but also affecting your family, okay, Lone will fulfill you, and make your crimes violent to the world, look at the queen mother, the prime minister of the cabinet, etc., do they dare to come forward to protect you! Where is the Governor of the Discipline?! ”

Ji Hong immediately walked out from behind the prince, arching his hands, "The slave is here." ”

"From now on, the secret detention house of the Imperial Secret Guard will be transformed into a special imperial prison, called the 'Imperial Prison'. Put Wang Baoquan in prison immediately, interrogate him strictly, and no one is allowed to visit the prison, let alone seek death, otherwise, you will come to see him. ”

"No." Ji Hong replied loudly.

"Also, order Qianniuwei to be stationed in the political affairs hall and the yamen of the general administration department, take care of all the officials, and let them deal with government affairs as soon as possible, especially the piles of sloppiness, and classify and dispose of them, in addition, organize secret guards to isolate and review the relevant officials, report and expose those who are meritorious, be promoted, and additional rewards, and those who harbor are dismissed and investigated, and their homes are sent to prison."

At this time, Yuan Zhi was brain-open, and he moved the methods of political struggle in a certain period of later generations, such as isolation and censorship, anonymous reporting, and other shady tricks, and used them to learn and use them.

In extraordinary times, special means are used, which is called targeted medicine.

"Yes."

The men and horses on both sides of the Dark Guard and the Thousand Niu Guard immediately followed the prince's order and acted quickly.

Looking at the back of the prince leaving, Ji Hong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He is the head of the Great Interior, the Governor of the Imperial Secret Guard, the big red man in front of the emperor, and the civil and military officials saw him, as if they had seen the devil, and their hearts trembled.

All the Chinese military ministers of the dynasty, the mansions of the feudal officials, or around them, may have his shadow lurking.

What official has a clean butt?

Which concubine sleeps on a certain day in a certain month and what pillow words she says may fall into Ji Hong's hands.

But Ji Hong knew in his heart that all his power came from the royal family.

Once the royal family has given up on him, or if he is no longer needed to do anything, he will die with no place to be buried.

Therefore, he can only cling to the imperial power.

At present, the imperial power is actually in the hands of Yuan Zhi, the crown prince of the prison state.

This prince used to be weak and cowardly, and had no plans at all.

But now it seems to have been reborn, becoming extremely strong and resourceful.

The prison has only been in power for six days, and on the surface it is rough and cruel, and the sword is on the sidelines, but in fact it is ruthless, and it hits the opponent's vital point every time.

I'm afraid that everyone in the court, including Cao Fu, will underestimate him.

Underestimate the enemy, this is a big taboo!

"Governor."

A dark guard leader quietly came to Ji Hong's side and said in a low voice:

"If the queen mother Yizhi comes, saying that she wants to release people or see Wang Baoquan alone, what should I do?"

"Stupid! What is an edict? Only recognize the emperor's decree or the decree of the prince of the country! When Yi Zhi arrived, he said that there was no such person. In addition, the officials of the government hall and the general administration department must be quarantined and examined as soon as possible, and those who do not give a clear account are not allowed to go home. ”

Ji Hong said coldly.

The subordinate nodded and bowed, comprehending the spirit and leaving.

……

An hour later, the sudden change that happened in the political hall quickly spread to the Anguo Mansion.

Prime Minister Cao Qichang, who was "on sick leave" in the palace, convened his cronies and ministers to discuss last night and was busy until late at night, just for the 'boycott' that began this morning.

For this reason, he personally issued a decree requiring officials above the three grades of the six ministries of the three provinces not to be allowed to be appointed by the yamen.

To put it bluntly, it is to pick a child, give Yuan Zhi a little color to see, and let him retreat in the face of difficulties.

After the arrangement was completed, it was already the middle of the night, and he was in high spirits, and vented on the concubine again before he lay down to sleep.

I got up late today, and it was close to noon before I appeared in the Dongyuan study.

"Prime Minister, early in the morning in the East Palace, issued a 'prince's decree' to the three provinces and six departments in the capital, and the civil and military officials above the third grade, within three days, all officials must go to the yamen to work and deal with official business, otherwise, they will all be dismissed and investigated!"

Jia Gongwang, the chief staff member of the Anguo Mansion, took the lead in making a report.
