Chapter 44: The Conspiracy Begins
"Oh, you're such a ...... I've found out to Li'er, but you haven't. Yun Lin covered her head and groaned, she could only say that her husband was a good person, but not a good politician. Politically insensitive at all, even far inferior to his sixteen-year-old son. Song Li was able to have this insight at a young age, and Yun Lin was very surprised. However, there have been too many accidents brought to them by her son during this time, so she already has a certain degree of immunity.
She instinctively felt that her son might grow up to be a great figure in the future.
"Oh, that's it......" Song Xinghai scratched his head and asked, "Then what can we do to completely turn the situation around?"
Anyway, Song Xinghai is not good at conspiracy and intrigue, so he simply listens to the opinions of his wife and son.
Song Li beckoned with a smile and motioned for his parents to come closer, so the three heads leaned together, and Song Li told his plan......
Two days later, the morning pilgrimage.
In the Jinluan Hall, the Holy Emperor Song Xingtian sat on the dragon chair, looking down on the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and his majestic voice sounded: "Zhong Aiqing, can there be something important to start? If not, I will announce my retirement from the dynasty." ”
Nine Kings Song Xingyun took a step forward and bowed: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, the minister has a play." ”
Song Xingtian said lightly: "Quasi-play." ”
Song Xingyun's face was expressionless, and he said respectfully: "Back to His Majesty the Holy Emperor, according to the news from the Maoyan Division, Wen Liren, the second assistant of the cabinet, has a close relationship with Zaire, the prime minister of the Rambis Kingdom, and is suspected of collaborating with the enemy and plotting against him! ”
The three princes of the Holy Lion Empire are not the kind of idle kings who only eat and don't work. Prince Zhong commanded the six departments of the cabinet, King Jing held 100,000 heavy troops in Beijing, and King Kang controlled the three major spy agencies of Maoyan Division, Supervision Division, and Mobile Division. The Maoyan Division is responsible for spying on information, the Inspectorate Department is responsible for monitoring civil and military officials, and the Mobile Division is responsible for searching, pursuing, arresting, interrogating, and assassinating.
"It's just nonsense!" Wen Liren, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, immediately stood up, in his fifties, with a white face and beard, and an elegant and upright air. Hearing that King Kang had framed him for collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion, he was so angry that his beard was about to fly! He walked out of the sequence of civil officials, bowed his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor has shown that Weichen is loyal to our dynasty and the sun and the moon, and there is no act of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!"
"King Kang, is there a mistake in the Maoyan Division? Wen Cifu is my minister of the humerus, how could he communicate with foreign countries and intend to rebel?" Song Xingtian smiled slightly, indicating that he didn't believe Song Xingyun's words at all.
"Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, what kind of institution is the Maoyan Division, Your Majesty knows more than Wei Chen. They have never missed such heavy news!" King Kang said word by word: "Before presenting definite evidence, no one is willing to admit that he collaborated with the enemy and rebelled." That's why Wechen asked His Majesty to order a search of Wen Liren's mansion. As long as he gets the evidence, he can't help but deny it. ”
"If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse!" Wen Liren sneered and glanced at King Kang, and said: "Wen is doing the right thing, and he is not afraid of being framed by despicable villains. It's all about being on the table!"
"Since Wen Cifu feels that he is innocent, why don't you let the Mobile Division go and investigate?" Huang Tingxuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up at the right time, and said with a smile: "The so-called clean ones are self-purifying, and the turbid ones are turbid, Lord Wen blindly pushes back and obstructs, is it because he is a thief with a weak heart and is afraid?"
"Is it?Lord Huang?" Wen Liren glanced at him quietly, and said lightly: "Wen also heard a reliable news, but it was said that Lord Huang had fornicated with the Prime Minister of the Rambis Kingdom with the intention of rebellion. What did Lord Huang say?"
Huang Tingxuan, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wen Liren, the second assistant of the cabinet, not only belong to the two camps, but also have very different temperaments and personalities. So it is already a well-known thing that two people are incompatible. This time there is a-for-tat confrontation above the court, and everyone is used to it.
Song Xingtian sat and watched the two prime ministers pinch, and he didn't mean to stop him.
"Haha, joke. Huang Tingxuan sneered a few times and said, "Lord Wen, do you think that the end is coming, so you are in a hurry to bite someone?"
"Lord Huang just said that those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid. Since you are open-minded, you have nothing to say to others. Lord Huang said about him left and right, is it also because of his weak heart?" Wen Liren was sharp and refused.
The left and right ministers are the core figures of the power center of the cabinet, which can be called the power of the government and the opposition, and the two of them are on the top of the bull, and there are really few people who can be even.
Seeing that King Haijun's lips moved, the Holy Emperor seemed to have something to say, so he smiled slightly and asked, "King Haijun, do you have something to say?"
"Huh?" Song Xinghai was stunned for a moment, hurriedly stepped out of the ranks, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, Weichen has nothing to say. However, the quarrel between the two adults in the court is always unseemly. I might as well ...... Ask Prince Chung for his opinion. He has always been a man with ideas, and he will definitely be able to help His Majesty solve problems. ”
Prince Zhong glanced at Song Xinghai in surprise, he stood solemnly at the head of the ministers, and has always been like an old monk in a fixed state, looking at his nose and nose, as if everything around him has nothing to do with him. If you don't know the truth, you must not think that he is the invisible black hand behind this undercurrent trend.
Song Xinghai recommended him to solve this problem, and he really got his wish. I thought to myself, the sixth, if you had known each other like this earlier, why would I have to deal with you?
"Prince Zhong, the two adults have their own reasons, how do you think this matter should be handled?" the Holy Emperor asked quietly.
Prince Zhong took a step forward and arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty the Holy Emperor, Weichen feels that since the two adults feel that they are innocent, they might as well let the people from the Mobile Division search the two at the same time. Wouldn't that be fair?"
The Holy Emperor nodded and asked, "Huang Aiqing, Wen Aiqing, what do you think?"
"It's all up to His Majesty the Holy Emperor!" Huang Wen and the others bowed in unison.
Song Xinghai, the king of Haijun, said loudly: "Collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, intending to rebel is a serious crime to punish the nine clans, and this matter is not trivial. Both of you are the pillars of our dynasty, and in order to show justice, I implore His Majesty the Holy Emperor to lead all my colleagues to supervise together, and I hope that Your Majesty will grant permission!"
Everyone's eyes were focused on Song Xinghai, and they didn't know whether this King of Haijun had taken the wrong medicine or had released it without taking the medicine at all. In the eyes of everyone, King Haijun is a well-known soy sauce party above the court. This person follows the soy sauce party's great three no's principles: don't oppose, don't agree, and don't speak. Mr. Haijun Wang has been implementing the principle of three noes very thoroughly for decades. Before the last time he made a big fuss in the Golden Palace, many of his colleagues had never even heard his voice.
What is the situation now? King Haijun has completely lost the consciousness of the leader of the soy sauce party, and actually has his own opinion!
"What King Haijun said is reasonable, and I am right. Song Xingtian nodded and agreed to Song Xinghai's request.
"Hum", it seemed that hundreds of flies flew into the Golden Palace, and the civil and military officials talked about it for a while. It was strange enough that King Haijun began to raise his voice above the court, and even more strange was that His Majesty the Holy Emperor actually agreed to his request! What does this portend? Which of the bodhisattvas who can mix with the great temple of the Golden Temple is a fuel-efficient lamp? Everyone's political sense of smell is more sensitive than that of hundreds of hounds combined, and they have already sniffed out unusual smells from it.
His Majesty the Holy Emperor rode his dragon chariot, escorted by the Golden Feather Knight, and led hundreds of civil and military officials to the University Scholar's Mansion in a mighty manner.
Huang Tingxuan and Wen Liren's mansions, just like their relationship between the DPRK and China, are also door-to-door, face-to-face, and-for-tat. However, this is much more convenient for the Holy Emperor and civil and military officials who came to supervise, as long as they stop on the road in the center, they can control the overall situation, and they don't need to go back and forth.
Wen Liren found that the door of his mansion had been surrounded by people from the Mobile Division, and his face turned purple with anger. It seems that King Kang had already sent the operatives of the Mobile Division to take control of the Wen Mansion before the previous dynasty requested a search, and it was clear that he was prepared.
"His Royal Highness King Kang, those minions in front of Wen's mansion were prepared by you a long time ago, right? Before His Majesty the Holy Emperor issued a holy edict, you sent someone to control the mansion of the imperial court officials, who gave you the power?" Wen Liren raised his beard and said angrily: "The three special services are special institutions of the imperial court, and they are only responsible to His Majesty the Holy Emperor. Crimes committed by officials of the imperial court above the fifth rank must be reported to His Majesty the Holy Emperor for approval before the action can be launched. If King Kang thinks that Wen has violated the law, he must report to His Majesty the Holy Emperor for approval before he can take action against Wen. However, King Kang completely ignored the Holy Lion Code and took control of Wen's mansion without the Holy Emperor's approval, and his actions were hateful and his heart was punishable! Does His Royal Highness King Kang feel that the personnel of the Mobile Division are your domestic slaves? Do you still have His Majesty the Holy Emperor in your eyes? Is there any Holy Lion Code?"
These words were a bit heart-wrenching, and Prince Zhong's face sank. Xin Dao Lao Jiu has always done things without leakage, why was Wen Liren caught such a fatal loophole this time? What he didn't know was that Song Xingyun also had bitter words in his heart. The three secret service divisions are becoming more and more powerful, and their handling of cases is becoming more and more arbitrary, because of the special nature of their work, it is actually difficult to act strictly in accordance with the law. Some opportunities are fleeting, and if you really follow the procedure step by step, I am afraid that the criminals will have fled long ago before the approval documents are issued. So everyone tacitly understands that no one will really do things according to the rules. This is an unspoken rule.
It's just that since it's called an unspoken rule, it definitely can't be on the table. Song Xingyun didn't calculate that Song Xinghai suddenly made a mistake, and actually asked His Majesty the Holy Emperor to come to supervise in person, and His Majesty the Holy Emperor really came. His violations were thus exposed under the nose of His Majesty the Holy Emperor.
