Chapter 858 The growing soybean dynasty
As Shi Lei and others passively surrendered under Lu Yang's influence, many old cases were uncovered, all done by the fifth prince in order to win over people's hearts.
The Ministry of Punishment is busy, even busier than when the fourth prince rebelled.
The fourth prince's rebellion is not a small matter, but it is just a case. At most, it will be more troublesome to arrest people.
But this time the Fifth Prince is different. This time there are many cases, involving a wide range of cases, involving many officials in the court.
The Ministry of Punishments interrogated Shi Lei and others overnight. The good news is that Shi Lei and others admitted their mistakes well and answered all questions. Moreover, since Shi Lei and others were the fifth prince's dirty gloves, they had a large amount of evidence, which helped the Ministry of Punishments save a lot of effort.
…
The eldest prince Jiang Qun regretted pretending to be his father and sitting on the throne. He was dealing with endless memorials and bitter decoctions that were said to slightly extend his lifespan, and was dealing with the elders in the harem...
“Fortunately, the right minister and the left minister are not in retreat, so they can share some of the pressure for me.”
Many less important memorials were handled by the Right and Left Prime Ministers, allowing the eldest prince to breathe a little.
Although it is not difficult for him to deal with these memorials, it is very boring, and now that he is using the identity of father and emperor, he cannot do many things.
“It’s better to have a private visit incognito. I don’t know where my father is now.”
Jiang Qun opened a memorial, which was sent by the governor of Yuzhou. He said that he had discovered the whereabouts of Dayu's remnant party in Yuzhou. It was suspected that Dayu would cross the tribulation period. He had contacted the army stationed in Yuzhou and asked the army to search together. Dayu's remnant party, but considering that the strength of Dayu's remnant party was unknown, they asked the court to send help.
“In that case, let Luo Shuiwei go to Yuzhou.”
Just when Jiang Qun was preparing to handle the next memorial, he saw Eunuch Li coming to report it.
“I am reporting to your Majesty that Xu Xin, the Minister of Punishment, is asking for an audience.”
“Let him in.”
Xu Xin walked into the hall with square steps and kowtowed to Jiang Qun: "Xu Xin comes to see your majesty."
“Xu Aiqing’s normal life.”
"yes."
“What did Xu Aiqing do?”
Xu Xin took out a pamphlet and Eunuch Li presented it to Jiang Qun.
Jiang Qun took the pamphlet and was a little puzzled: "What is this?"
“Your Majesty, this is a crime committed by the fifth prince.”
“Who?” Jiang Qun thought he heard wrongly.
“The crime of the fifth prince Jiang Tang.”
Jiang Qun was so frightened that he quickly turned over the book with his consciousness. The corners of his eyes twitched. The pamphlet clearly listed Lao Wu's crimes, and many long-standing secret cases of the imperial court were explained.
"Time is running out, and I am worried about alerting others. Only some of the crimes have been proven."
Even some of the crimes were serious enough. If all were carried out, the fifth prince's fate would not be much better than that of the fourth prince.
The only difference is that the crime committed by the fifth prince does not require the execution of the Nine Clans, and Jiang Qun does not need to pardon himself again.
…No, the matter with the fourth child has just settled down, why is it now the fifth child’s turn to jump around?
I have only been the temporary emperor for three days, and the two brothers fell into my hands.
Father, how come you didn’t deal with anyone when you were emperor, but everything happened after you left?
There are many times in history when princes supervise the country, but there has never been a time when a prince took advantage of the time to supervise the country to deal with other princes.
It’s enough to deal with one, but two more. What will future generations think when they see this period of history?
"How did you investigate these things?" Jiang Qun knew that Xu Xin was thorough and reliable in his work and would not make up things to deceive himself.
And even if it is made up, I would not dare to make it up like this.
“It was given by Shi Lei, a disciple of the fifth prince, and others.”
“Shi Lei is so honest?” Jiang Qun frowned.
“According to Shi Lei and others’ accounts, they were persuaded by Lu Yang to surrender to the Ministry of Punishment.”
Jiang Qun couldn't help but hold his forehead. Lu Yang reported the fourth child's matter, and the fifth child's matter is still related to Lu Yang. Lu Yang, do you have to send all my brothers in so that I can take the position?
“Did Lu Yang alone persuade them to surrender?”
“I don’t know, but Shi Lei and the others said that when Lu Yang persuaded them, there was also a monk named Xia Tian present.”
Jiang Qun: “…”
Isn’t Xia Tian the alias of his father?
I knew that this matter was not that simple. It was indeed what my father meant!
…
In Luotian Forest, Immortal Fairy was having a meeting, and she was in a circle with Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, Jin Caiwei, and Xia Di.
“It’s rare for everyone to get together. Today’s meeting has only one purpose, that is, I am preparing to establish a brand new dynasty. I have already thought of a name for the dynasty, called Soybean Dynasty.”
As soon as these words came out, the four people in Ao Ling straightened their backs slightly, and they were all shocked by the Immortal Fairy's words.
Some were shocked by the establishment of a new dynasty, and some were shocked by the name of the dynasty.
"As the saints say, the position of ruler of the world is shared by those who are virtuous. People like me who are naturally virtuous should be emperors."
Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi clapped their hands and looked at the Immortal Fairy with burning eyes. Is the Immortal Sister finally determined to compete in the world?
The Immortal Fairy smiled, lowered her voice, and motioned to Xiao Ling and Lianyi not to do this, and then continued:
“I have looked at the long history of history, and every dynasty has been filled with blood and fire. The people are in dire straits, and the world is suffering. This is against my wishes.”
The speeches of the Immortal Fairy were all written by Lu Yang in the spiritual space. The Immortal Fairy recited them and gave free play at the same time.
“I believe that establishing a new dynasty does not necessarily have to go through war, it can be done through peaceful means.”
“For example, I reached a cooperation with the fourth prince, reported the fourth prince’s rebellion, and implicated the nine clans to make the Jiang family self-defeating.”
"But I didn't expect that the ancestors of the Jiang family had some tricks and stipulated the pardon system in advance, which ruined my plan. They are really a difficult opponent to deal with!"
“But it doesn’t matter, things are never smooth sailing. The process of starting a business is always difficult. I believe that as long as everyone works together, there will be no difficulties that cannot be solved!”
The Immortal Fairy stood on the table, raised her arms and shouted: "Everyone, are you willing to join me in establishing a new dynasty!"
“I do!”
Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi don’t need to ask any more questions. They support the Immortal Fairy unconditionally in whatever she does.
“Okay, then I’ll make you two generals.”
After the Immortal Fairy shouted, he jumped down from the table and looked at Jin Caiwei: "Little tiger, what about you?"
Jin Caiwei has no idea about establishing a new dynasty, but since Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi both support it, she would be at a disadvantage if she did not support it. This is intolerable.
“I do too!”
“I will also make you a general.”
The four women all glanced at Emperor Xia, their eyes seemed to be able to speak. What about you?
Emperor Xia was so stared at by these people that you all agreed. If I disagree, would I be unsociable?
Emperor Xia could only slowly raise his hand: "I agree too."
“I will make you prime minister.”
Du Jie Qi, who was secretly responsible for protecting Emperor Xia, saw this scene and was amazed. He had never seen such a thing in his thousands of years of life.
