Chapter 1261 The Prince's Sword

After discussing with Xu Congyang, there was no suitable candidate. In contrast, the mermaids and dragons of the Tun Guards were naturally unable to choose from them. If they really chose the commander of the guards, it would be a suitable choice from the Royal Guards.

Although the emperor could choose any military general to serve as the commander of the royal palace, the emperor naturally knew that this was not the case, and at least Xuanyuan Shao could not choose.

With the help of Xu Congyang, the King of Qi finally called Ma Zhongheng, who had just transferred from the Imperial Guard to Wujingwei as the general banner. Ma Zhongheng was born in the Guards and naturally had ability. He also made great contributions in the Tongtian Palace Rebellion. After the Tongtian Palace Incident, the position of Wujingwei as the general banner was vacant, and Ma Zhongheng was transferred to the General Banner.

Compared with the Wujing Guard General Banner, the oil and water leaders of the royal palace guards are naturally far behind. However, compared with the political future, the future of being the royal palace guards is naturally much greater, and of course, the risks they bear will also be much greater.

Ma Zhongheng was a soldier and obeyed the order and was transferred to the commander of the guards of the royal palace. He had no other words. He had an assignment in Wujing Guard and went to the Qi Prince's Mansion to report that the guards of the Qi Prince's Mansion are now all led by Ma Zhongheng.

As for the chief official of the royal palace, Xu Congyang recommended Lu Haosheng from the Imperial College. This man was originally the Imperial College, who was well-known in ancient and modern times, and was eloquent. He was a very outstanding scholar.

The King of Qi got out of the carriage, and someone had already gone to knock on the gate of the palace. The King of Qi entered the palace and went straight to the side hall. Although it was midnight, the side hall was still brightly lit. Five or six officials wearing official robes were waiting anxiously. Hearing the rumors outside that the King of Qi returned to the mansion, several officials hurriedly tidy up their clothes. Lang Wuxu, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, took the lead in welcome out of the hall.

The King of Qi looked quite tired and did not care about the salutes of the officials. He entered the side hall, sat down, and said loudly: "Get the water!"

The servant brought tea, and the King of Qi poured half a bowl of tea, put down the teacup, and when he saw the officials, he looked at him with a wry smile, shook his head and said, "There has been a date there. Three days later, beheaded and displayed!"

Everyone was shocked, and Lang Wuxu had already said, "Your Highness, even if you really want to execute the execution, you can't be so fast..."

"The evidence is conclusive, and the people from the Ministry of Justice put all the evidence under my nose. Even the witnesses have been found." King Qi frowned, "There are all evidence and physical evidence. Even if I want to explain it clearly for them, I have no way to start. The prince said that the father gave him the heavy responsibility of the state and the responsibility is heavy. Since the Ministry of Justice has reported the file and the evidence is conclusive, he cannot be favoritism and abuse of power."

"Bah..." An official couldn't help but spit, "Your Highness, this is all the prince's fault behind the scenes. Otherwise, how could the matter be so coincidental? The emperor just left Beijing to inspect the Northern Expedition, and the Ministry of Justice began to stare at our people. And how long has it been found so much evidence, so it was prepared... Qiu Jungao of the Ministry of Justice is a dog under the prince. Whoever the prince asked him to bite him, he would bite him..."

King Qi frowned and said, "I want to know whether the people arrested were really corrupt and abused the law? I have seen all the evidence."

The officials looked at each other and someone said, "Your Highness, you also know that Qiu Jungao is a mad dog. He has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years. His best attitude is to weave online charges and torture confessions... He was originally a innocent person, but as long as he was caught by him and came out, there would be no clean area on his body...!"

"Your Highness, this is the princeling party's revenge and eradication of dissidents." Lang Wuxu said carefully: "Your Highness, you think that the prince said that he would rectify the administration and start from the Beijing officials. However, up to now, all the people investigated and arrested by the Ministry of Justice are ours. The Ministry of Justice has not investigated a princeling official. He is coming for us, just for His Highness."

"Your Highness, if this continues, the princelings' arrogance will become more and more arrogant." An official said with red eyes: "Catch a few today and examine a few tomorrow. This fire will soon burn to our heads. They are deliberately trying to deal with Your Highness!"

An official said one after another: "Your Highness, we cannot sit still and wait for death, we must fight back!"

"Counterattack?" King Qi frowned and said, "How to counterattack?"

Lang Wuxu hurriedly said, "Your Highness, now, I can only ask you to present a memorial to the emperor. In the memorial, I will present the prince's actions to the emperor clearly. The emperor is wise and naturally knows what the prince wants to do...!"

"What do you say in the memorial?" King Qi looked at Lang Wuxu, "Do you tell your father that the prince will avenge his personal revenge, eradicate dissidents, form gangs and tyrants, and intend to rebel?"

Everyone looked at each other, and Lang Wuxu lowered his voice and said, "Of course, you can't say that, but this meaning... this meaning must always be known to the Lord."

The King of Qi sneered: "What is the evidence for this memorial? The prince ordered the rectification of the administration of officials. This is not wrong. The Ministry of Justice investigated the Beijing officials. In theory, it is not wrong. The people he arrested were found in advance, and the evidence was very sufficient. This is not wrong. Even during the entire investigation and interrogation, the Ministry of Justice was dealing with it. The prince did not intervene openly...!"

"But all this must be the prince instructing him behind his back..." an official said immediately.

King Qi stretched out his hand, "Example, give me the evidence!"

The official lowered his head and dared not speak.

"Only when these officials have confirmed the evidence of their crimes, the Ministry of Justice has imposed the death penalty, then the file will be submitted to the prince, and the prince will approve the document." King Qi said slowly: "This is the power of the state supervising and the responsibility of the state supervising. No matter from any point, there is no conclusive evidence of the prince's revenge. You asked me to submit a memorial to my father, but I could not produce any evidence. At that time, my father would submit my memorial to me. What is the evidence? How do you ask me to answer?"

The officials looked at each other.

It is true that after the emperor left Beijing to inspect the northern tour, the prince supervised the country and held great power. As the leader of the prince's party, the prince naturally showed no mercy to the people of the royal party.

The six ministers and four ministers have already followed the northern tour, leaving behind the Minister of Justice Qiu Jungao and the Minister of War Song Ling.

After Yu Buqu passed away in the northwest, Song Ling, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of War, temporarily took over the position of Minister of War. Compared to Yu Buqu's experience of many battles, Song Ling could only be regarded as a person who talked about war on paper. Moreover, he was over 60 years old and had a clear ear and eyes. He could not even effectively control the Ministry of War. He was able to take the position of Minister of War. Although he was good at official communication, it was because of his qualifications and his own military strategy.

Originally, the old minister of the Ministry of War had to attend the northern tour as originally planned, but on the eve of leaving Beijing, the old minister suffered a ill. The palace even sent imperial doctors to diagnose and treat it. The disease was indeed serious, so he stayed in the capital. Until now, he is still in the house to recuperate at home.

As for Qiu Jungao, the Minister of Justice, people have always thought that this person was the emperor's favorite dog. Although this person is cruel, he has a characteristic that the emperor admires the most, that is, he is a lonely person and has no sects. This is really a strange thing for the Qin court, which has distinct sects.

Perhaps because of Qiu Jungao's bad reputation, everyone knows that he is a nearly perverted cruel official, so at least on the surface, few officials are willing to interact with this cruel official.

It is precisely because Qiu Jungao's lonely family that he sat steadily in the position of Minister of Justice.

It was only after the emperor's northern tour that the Ministry of Justice investigated the royal party thoroughly, which made many officials realize that this cruel official from the Ministry of Justice seemed to be the prince's person.

In terms of purge of the Qi royal party, Qiu Jungao was doing his best. This cruel official already regarded the Ministry of Justice as his family. It was a common thing to not return to his residence for several days. In the prison of the Ministry of Justice, the howlings were heard day and night.

Everyone knows that the prince is definitely the mastermind behind the scenes against the Qi King Party this time, otherwise the prince would not have been safe and sound, and the people of the Qi King Party were successively brought down.

But the prince did it very well. From the beginning, he only said to rectify the administration of the government, and there was no more to say. The Ministry of Justice fully understood the prince's intention and purged it. No one could provide evidence that the Ministry of Justice thoroughly investigated the officials and guided the prince behind the scenes. After all, thoroughly investigating corrupt officials is also a matter of the Ministry of Justice.

As for the officials of the Qi Wang Party who were thoroughly investigated by the Ministry of Justice, almost all the evidence was found, and they had all the evidence and physical evidence. They wanted to argue but could not defend themselves. Everyone knew that the Ministry of Justice had made a good move this time. Almost every official arrested by them could put all the evidence of corruption and abuse of power and relevant witnesses in front of the criminals at the first time. What the prince had to do was to approve the files. As a supervisor, it was a matter of allowing the execution of the criminals in the face of sufficient evidence.

Most of the people in the Qi King's Party were old subordinates of the Han King. After they were transferred to the Qi King's school, they were once very powerful. To some extent, their popularity even surpassed that of the princelings.

Moreover, in the eyes of most officials, it was only a matter of time before the emperor deposed the crown prince, and it was a sure thing to change the King of Qi, so in the eyes of the members of the King of Qi, the future was bright.

However, after the emperor visited the northern tour and the prince's reign, the Qi Wang Party realized that everything was far beyond expectations.

What's even more terrifying is that after the emperor left Beijing for the Northern Expedition, the prince only used the Ministry of Justice as a tool. This simplest and crude method was already a suffocating party to the Qi King.

The Qi Wang Party has almost no strength to fight back.

At this time, the officials of the Qi King Party finally realized that the big tree they rely on was not a towering tree. Its former glory was just because the shadow of the emperor was shrouded, so people mistakenly thought that the huge shadow was covered by the King of Qi. But at this time they finally woke up. Without the emperor's blessing, the tree of the Qi King was really weak.

King Yingren of Qi also understood at this moment that the officials who defected to him were really a group of wine bags. They were arrogant and looked unfathomable. It seemed that everyone was extremely smart and seemed that everyone was holding millions of soldiers. But when things came to an end, he realized that there were not many of these guys who really helped, and a large group of people shouted and shouted, and there was no one who really came up with a good recipe.

Xu Congyang, the only trustworthy one, is now in the Secretariat. All day long, countless things are piled on Xu Congyang and he can't get rid of it.

After the prince punched, the King of Qi had already discovered his weakness, and he also clearly realized that he and the prince were not at the same level.

Lang Wuxu and others whispered in a low voice, all of whom looked very anxious, and King Qi's face was also very serious. He glanced at everyone and finally said, "Don't you always claim to be smart? What's wrong? At this time, you have no idea?" He sneered: "A bunch of wine bags, if you don't think of a way, the people from the Ministry of Justice should go to your home."

Everyone was even more panicked. Lang Wuxu pondered for a moment, and finally came closer and said, "Your Highness, there is no way, but... it's just that this method is a bit difficult."

"What method?"

Lang Wuxu said softly: "Since the prince used the Ministry of Justice to kill us as a knife, if we... if we destroy that knife, we may not be able to turn defeat into victory!"
