C685 The Prince Was Roped in and the Prince Was Plotting a Rebellion
At this time, King Lu relayed the whole story to him. Truth Holy Emperor's facial expression changed instantly. He held the three jade slips in his hand and scanned them with his Divine Sense. Then, he understood the contents of the jade slips.
"En, what a good Wang Ziqi. He really didn't disappoint me. How long has it been? He has given me a pleasant surprise! Good, good!"
Truth Holy Emperor stood up and paced back and forth in the Heart Healing Palace. His face was full of excitement. "King Wen's direct line of descent was originally a piece of metal. Zhen could not find an excuse to clean them out."
" This is good. This Wang Ziqi is really a capable official. He just took over the position and completely took down the Three Magistrates! You have to know that this Three Magistrates is a sharp knife under King Wen, a vicious dog, and a loyal dog! "
"If we can break this sharp knife this time, King Wen's power will shrink greatly! This time, it was not only the Three Magisters who were investigated, but also pulled out the radish and mud. There was also a large number of officials who were also on the list! "
"Hehe, what an unexpected gain. This time around, Zhen is going to catch all of these rebels in one fell swoop! King Wen, oh King Wen, this time around you have been ruthlessly killed by Zhen!"
Truth Holy Emperor was delighted. He immediately issued an Imperial Decree, wanting to personally judge this huge case. In an instant, a storm raged in the capital, as if a storm was coming and a storm was coming. The entire capital was engulfed by the storm.
Truth Holy Emperor's actions were too fast. He was as fast as lightning. In a short period of time, Censor of Supervision, Liu Zhizhi, Minister of Justice Feng Ertai, and the Court of Judicial Review were sent to jail.
The tens of millions of Blue Bird Guards stationed in the capital were all activated. They rushed into the various bailiffs and arrested all the officials involved in the case.
The officials, officials, nobles, and even ninth grade officials were arrested. The number of people was unimaginable. In just a moment, the prisons in the various government offices were full!
Moreover, this kind of trial was very fast. What Truth Holy Emperor wanted now was to cut the weeds and cut the weeds. After the trial, he would immediately announce the execution of the decree. He wanted to execute all the people involved in the case!
In the east of the capital, there were splendid and majestic buildings, pavilions, and magnificent buildings. Although they couldn't compare to the Imperial Palace in terms of scale, they surpassed most of the Imperial Palaces.
The eunuchs and maids in the residences were beautiful, and the armored soldiers were bright and sharp. Those who could enter and exit this place were all violet-robed officials. Even the Prime Minister had to hand over a letter of greeting and wait for a meeting.
It wasn't that the owner of this residence was arrogant, but that he had the right to do so. This was because the owner of this residence was an elder of the five dynasties, the third generation Grand Preceptor, and the current leader of the kings, King Wen!
King Wen had already written a book and begged for his bones. Now, he was teaching and sneaking around in the mansion every day, making his grandson look like a rich man, enjoying the pleasures of heaven and earth.
However, this was only on the surface. Although King Wen had not been in the court for a long time, his reach had extended to the corners of the government. He was the big boss who did not have civil and military officials. He was a big shot who could hold back the Holy Emperor!
On this day, King Wen was trimming the flowers. He was a hale, hale, and tall old man. His face was red. As a Martial Immortal, although he had 80 million years of life, he was still full of energy and blood.
"Teacher, teacher, the weather outside has changed. Why are you still in the mood to play with the flowers?"
A panicked and confused voice came from afar. They saw a man in a purple robe running towards them. It was Left Minister, who was usually gentle and gentle.
This Left Minister was the leader of the civil and military officials in Truth Sacred Dynasty. He was at the Great Circle of the Martial Saint and was a duke with a different surname in the Imperial Court. However, he still had to be respectful here.
"What are you panicking for? It's just a change in the sky. It's not like the sky has collapsed." King Wen said calmly, not caring at all. He just built a strange flower and grass that he got from an ancient ruin there.
Left Minister looked distressed and flustered. "Teacher, this is really troublesome! The Holy Emperor is about to start a war with us. He used Valiant Marquis as a knife to attack us!"
"589765 officials involved in this matter. The Holy Emperor has issued an Imperial Decree that all of them must be killed in an hour! The three provinces and six divisions under my command have actually been emptied by a third! "
"Our forces have suffered a heavy blow. Even the officials at the rank of ministers... Three of them have been removed at once, and they are going to be killed immediately! The Holy Emperor has made up its mind. It wants to kill us as soon as it attacks! "
" Kacha! "
King Wen cut off a long crooked branch and looked at Left Minister with his deep eyes. "Don't worry, as long as I am here, the sky will not collapse!"
"Although our limbs were indeed broken this time, as the saying goes, the roots of a big tree are deep. If we really want to get rid of us, with just a Holy Emperor, we can't do it!"
"Humph, but we can't underestimate this Holy Emperor. His strength and intelligence are still very deep. This time, he suddenly attacked us and caught us off guard."
"Using a small figure as a leverage, he actually stirred up the entire political situation. Interesting. However, if he didn't break it, he wouldn't be able to make it. Those people from back then were indeed rotten to the core. Since the Holy Emperor has helped us get rid of them, then we can send some fresh blood in!"
Left Minister's eyes instantly lit up. "That's right. No matter how the Holy Emperor strikes, those official positions are all there! As long as we can guarantee that the new official is also one of our people, then it will be easy to deal with!"
King Wen nodded with satisfaction. "As expected of the smartest one among my disciples. You are right! I like the saying of Taoism. It is called fortune and misfortune lurks in the place where misfortune lurks. Misfortune is like a blessing in disguise!"
"Whether it is fortune or misfortune, who can say for sure? It is just a matter of adapting to nature. Go on. After leaving for a long time, our Holy Emperor is going to be suspicious again."
Left Minister took his leave and hurried to the Imperial Palace. Two hours later, the heads of the nearly six hundred thousand officials of the Imperial Court had all been chopped off, and this time, blood had dyed the entire capital red!
The families of these officials had also been cleansed. The men who had committed serious crimes had mostly been killed and sent to the cannon fodder camp, while the female officials were sold as prostitutes and sent to the Bureau of Education.
Those who had committed minor crimes had their homes confiscated, and all of them had been driven out of the capital and exiled to other places to reclaim their lands. Although their fates had been tragic, they had still been able to preserve their lives.
After Ji Chen finished his first job in the capital, he was able to push the boat along with the current.
In the following month, the entire capital was in the midst of a great revolution. After killing so many people, so many officials would be left empty. Next, the Imperial Court would be filled with prosecutions of saliva all day long.
The matter of accepting an official's fate was not so simple. Everyone was discussing and seeking for the greatest benefits. A minor official wanted to be a major official, a major official wanted to be a greater official, and a major official wanted to form cliques.
Three months passed in the blink of an eye. In these three months, Ji Chen had formed good relations with the Duke of Langya, and after that, there was a strong surge of holy graciousness. His position in the Blue Bird Guard was very high, and he had a shocking breach of heart.
He had vaguely become the leader of the three great Right Commanders, and the King of Langya was already very old. He wanted to go back and have a good life. It seemed like he really wanted to train Ji Chen to become his successor.
Moreover, in this turbulent era, Ji Chen had led his Blue Bird Guard to clean up the security of the capital and investigate major cases. He had also made a lot of meritorious contributions!
"Master Hou, Seventh Prince sent someone to invite you to Hai Yue Building to have a taste of the delicious crabs." At this time, an enchanting and hot woman walked over and said to Ji Chen.
Ji Chen was originally cultivating, and there was a big black dog lying beside him. Ji Chen looked up and smiled. "These few months, Seventh Prince has been very attentive. Just treating and giving gifts has been back and forth dozens of times."
Hsu Yanzhi held her head high and puffed out her chest, looking proud. "That is natural. Lord Marquis, your talent and means are known by the world now. That is the next Left Commander, and even the candidate for the Great Commander!"
"Although Seventh Prince is a prince of the royal family, he is not a crown prince after all. Moreover, he will be suspected by the Emperor and the Crown Prince. His power is restricted everywhere. It is very normal for him to want to win Master Hou over."
"You have seen through it." Ji Chen stood up and walked forward. "But since the Prince has invited me, I have to give him face. Let's go. Follow me to serve him."
Recently, Seventh Prince and King Qi had been very close to Ji Chen. It was obvious that they wanted to rope him in, and everyone knew it. King Qi also supported Seventh Prince, so they wanted to create a powerful team.
The reason for all of this was very simple. All of them wanted to fight the Crown Prince because they wanted the throne, and the Holy Emperor had tacitly approved of all of this. After all, if the Crown Prince fought the Crown Prince, he wouldn't fight with them!
The Crown Prince was the strongest, and he alone could stop many princes from fighting. And at this time, the Crown Prince would be in deep trouble, and he wouldn't be able to covet the throne anymore. Therefore, the Emperor was in charge of everything behind the scenes, and he controlled everything. He was happy to be free and unfettered.
Ji Chen arrived at the Sea Moon Small Building. This place wasn't facing the sea, but a clean lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. It was like a sea, and on the other side was a bustling and straight commercial street.
As soon as Ji Chen arrived, he was warmly received by Seventh Prince. In order to rope Ji Chen in, Seventh Prince was really willing to spend a lot of money, and all kinds of things were sent to Ji Chen.
As for Ji Chen, his EQ was already very high. In order to complete the mission, he was also pretending to be humble. He really had a guest and host to entertain him.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside. They sat by the window and jumped over a small piece of water. They saw a group of cars and horses rushing over in a high profile manner and ramming into the streets!
Most of these people were riding horses. They were all dressed in luxurious and noble clothes. The horses were also ancient species, and their cultivation and strength were very high. They surrounded these few carriages and happily charged forward.
"Who are these people? How dare they be so arrogant in a place that is neither rich nor noble?"
Ji Chen felt a little curious. Although he controlled a very powerful secret service system, it had only been a short period of time. He really could not tell the origin of these people.
Seventh Prince looked at them and said with a smile, "You are talking about those people? They are from Cloud County Prince Prefecture! Cloud County Prince was in charge of the army and held a high position in the prefecture. Naturally, the people in his prefecture were used to being arrogant and despotic. "
Two days after Hai Yue Xiaojian tasted the delicious crab, Ji Chen received a piece of news. His expression suddenly became very strange. "What's going on? Cloud County Prince is actually rebelling!"
