Everyone in the lobby of the Criminal Department was dumbfounded.
After being dumbfounded, many people felt a secret sense of joy.
What a great show! Today is the day!
However, such emotions are mostly for the people sitting outside the hall. For the real big shots in the hall, they have a lot to think about.
Why did your Majesty come?
How will he view Xia Jingyun's previous words when he comes?
How will you view Prime Minister Qin's performance next?
From this, what decision will he make for this dispute?
How will such a decision affect the future of the government?
And in such a political situation, how should they deal with it in order to gain the greatest benefits?
Qin Sichao looked at Emperor Chongning silently, frowning and wondering what he was thinking.
Prime Minister Qin Weizhong was also thinking about similar thoughts, but compared to the others, he had much less time to think. So facing the smiling and calm Emperor Chongning, he could only reluctantly say: "Your Majesty, I am at the center, I heard that someone accused Quan Zi of being involved in the assassination of Fengyang Gong's grandson, and I rushed over immediately. If the evidence of this matter is conclusive, I am willing to take the initiative to send him to the third division and apologize to His Majesty for his lax discipline. But..."
He paused for a moment, "When I arrived here, I heard that the sworn brother of Concubine De was accusing me and Quanzi of plotting to incite rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, and to instigate internal fighting in the Su family to gain access to various affairs of the Su family. I don't know what the reasons were for this. General What good will it do to Concubine De and the Prince of Jiaodong if she falls in the fight? I only know what I have not done. I cannot admit it and dare not admit it! As the prime minister, I should also follow the rules of the court. If anything happens, I will do it myself. You can write to Your Majesty or report to the Censor. Such wanton attacks on important officials in the court will not be tolerated, so as not to damage the overall situation of the court! Please give your Majesty a clear warning!"
Prime Minister Qin is indeed a powerful prime minister who has been in the court for more than ten years. In a short period of time, he has formulated two strategies.
The first is to sacrifice the car to save the commander, and admit the crime of killing Qin Yuwen, but never admit the rebellion and the Su family;
The second is to steer this matter in the direction of party struggle and take advantage of Emperor Chongning's jealousy and Machiavellian mentality to escape.
When Emperor Chongning heard this, there was indeed a slight hesitation in his smile.
He turned to look at Xia Jingyun, "Gao Yang, what's going on?"
Xia Jingyun said: "Your Majesty, in today's case, Wei Chen was once the number one suspect. Your Majesty was kind enough to pardon Wei Chen when he attended the Spring Festival. You also said that you have to find out the truth in order to clear my name, so I won't." Please come."
"At the same time, regarding Mr. Qin's matter, Wei Chen identified him as the chief culprit, and also told what he had done in Sishui Prefecture and the Yunmengsu family. It was not for any other purpose, but he did not want careerists to go unpunished, so that The country is in danger of overthrowing, and the people are in danger of being destitute."
He looked at Prime Minister Qin, with a look of emotion on his face, and slowly thrust out the last sword, "Prime Minister Qin is indeed the person who knows His Majesty the best. He has a really good grasp of His Majesty's thoughts. He knows that at this time, only by leading to party struggle can we win." It can buy yourself time to clear up clues.”
Emperor Chongning narrowed his eyes slightly for a moment.
Xia Jingyun said in a deep voice: "I ask your Majesty to send envoys to investigate for the sake of Daxia Sheji. If it is proven that Prime Minister Qin and his son are innocent, I am willing to be punished!"
"Are you willing to be punished? Can you bear it?"
Emperor Chongning's face turned cold and he immediately scolded him angrily.
Xia Jingyun immediately lowered his head and gave in.
However, Emperor Chongning muttered in a flash: "However, this matter is related to the safety of the country. It is indeed important. Since it has been said out without verification, it will be used by everyone. In the future, it will also damage the reputation of the central government and the reputation of the prime minister. I can only feel aggrieved." Hit you."
Qin Xiang felt his heart beat skip a beat, and then heard Emperor Chongning say:
"From now on, Prime Minister Qin Weizhong and members of the Qin family are waiting behind closed doors for investigation. The Forbidden Army is guarding the Prime Minister's Mansion. The Ministry of Punishment and Heibingtai are jointly investigating the case. The deadline is seven days. We must investigate the case and clear my Prime Minister's name!"
Qin Xiang felt as if his head had been hit by a heavy hammer, his vision went dark, and he almost fell down without losing his balance.
The leader of the Black Ice Platform and the Minister of Punishment both stood up and loudly agreed.
Emperor Chongning looked at Xia Jingyun again, "If the investigation proves fruitless, I will ask Concubine De to go to the Prime Minister's Mansion in person to plead guilty."
Xia Jingyun handed over Weiwei's hand, then looked at Prime Minister Qin, "Prime Minister Qin, don't worry, what if we can't find out?"
Damn your mother, I don’t know if I can find out?
Qin Xiang looked at the emperor in front of him, and his heart was at war. He knew that he had to do something, but he also knew that his majesty was already suspicious. ?
At this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout in his ears.
"Dongfang Jing!"
Qin Xiang's blood surged and he fainted.
Because Dongfang Jing is the taboo name of Emperor Chongning!
This time, everyone was completely dumbfounded.
Even Xia Jingyun was confused.
Everyone looked at the person who spoke, and it turned out to be the prime minister's son, Qin Sichao, who always showed a gentle and elegant image.
The imperial army and the officials of the Ministry of Justice were about to rush up to arrest him, but Qin Sichao suddenly pulled out the hosta on his head, put it against his throat, and said sternly: "Don't come over here. If you come over, I will kill myself. There are some things that you will never forget." Don’t even think about it!”
Emperor Chongning raised his hand gently and looked at Qin Sichao calmly, "What do you want to say?"
Qin Sichao, who knew that once the investigation was carried out, according to the clues that Xia Jingyun just told, he would be dead, sneered, "The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. I admit it. You don't need to investigate. I admit that the matter in Sishui Prefecture was organized by me." Yes, I was the one planning this behind the scenes of the Su family."
The melon-eating crowd was so full that they didn't expect to hear such exciting news with their own ears, and the buzz started buzzing again in an instant.
The low and depressing noise was like the elegy of the prime minister's funeral.
"But, don't you want to think about why I organize and plan this? Why do I have to work so hard to do this when I can't live my life in the prime minister's palace?"
Qin Sichao's voice suddenly became sharp!
"Since you came to the throne, you are now twenty-four years old. The decline of the previous dynasty has not been eliminated, and the disadvantages of the New Deal have appeared. You are so fond of great achievements, you have neglected government affairs, you are close to evil, and you are harming the virtuous. People who are loyal and can give advice are abandoned. I am a man who flatters those who please me and entrusts me with important responsibilities! Officials in the court only know how to form cliques and abuse the people; people from all over the world can only live in seclusion to avoid disaster! The people suffer from the evil of harsh government, and the common people howl at the whip of cruel officials, Groups of bandits are gathering in the mountains and forests, and bandits are rushing into the rivers. The Sheji ancestral temple is declining day by day, and the resentment of the government and the people is boiling!"
Qin Sichao's voice became angry and passionate, "And you, Dongfang Jing! At this juncture, you are obsessed with your civil and martial arts, collecting wealth from all directions, mobilizing the efforts of everyone, building the Wanbao Tower, collecting rare treasures, and listing rare treasures. Showing auspiciousness, being complacent, being obsessed with the prosperity of one's achievements, how can you hear the cry of the people who have no way out? The importance of the country is of no importance to you, and the calamity of the common people has nothing to do with you!"
"You claim to be a king and father, but you are only pursuing your own selfish desires and disregarding the safety of the country, causing the wolf-hearted people to become menacing and servile in the government, causing chaos all over the world and turmoil in all directions. You are in vain to be a king!" You know how to manipulate power to retain your position, doubt your parents and children, destroy human relations, and actually order the government and the public to judge the prince. You are a father in vain! Without a king and a father, Dongfang Jing! How dare you call yourself the father of a king!"
As he roared excitedly, the originally neatly tied hair on his head fell down like an avalanche due to the lack of hairpins, and his disheveled appearance added a bit of madness to him.
"Go and have a look! Look at the people in this world who died in war, banditry, tyranny, hunger and cold. Their bones are piled up much higher than your Wanbao Tower!"
"Go and listen! Listen to the people in this world who are wailing, cursing, praying, and murmuring. Their voices are much louder than the songs of praise that you can hear when you are sitting on the throne!"
"Go and smell it! Smell the blood that has dried on the ground, smell the rotting corpses hanging on the branches, smell the desolate and lifeless smell in the abandoned fields and villages, these smells are better than yours in the harem The smell from the beautiful women’s powder pile is much more pungent!”
"This is why I want to rebel against you! It's not just me who wants to rebel against you, there are countless people in this world who want to rebel against you! You can kill me, but you can't kill thousands of them!"
"Xia Jingyun!"
Qin Sichao suddenly called out Xia Jingyun's name, with a bit of pride in his face and tone, "You ruined my plan, I don't blame you! I admit that my skills are inferior to others! However, a fool like Xiangzhu would join this useless person." The incorrigible imperial court serves as its hawks and dogs, and you will regret it for the rest of your life!"
"Dongfang Jing! Listen up!"
Qin Sichao straightened up and suddenly shouted, "Qingshi will remember me! Future generations should remember me! And you! You have no qualifications! Judge me!"
After speaking, he exerted a slight force on his right hand, and the sharp hairpin was pierced into his chest.
Blood gurgled out and quickly dyed the skirt of his clothes red. In the horrified and stunned eyes of everyone, the prime minister's son, the number one son of Zhongjing City, after a shocking scolding that was destined to go down in history, took his Full of ambition, he slowly fell down.
