What? Is the situation in Ezhou stable? Will all workers be paid their wages? New town construction restarted?
As soon as these words came out, all the ministers looked at each other in shock.
The wages owed by Ezhou Xincheng are an astronomical figure. How many days have they been here? All have been distributed?
Even if some corrupt officials were investigated and punished, it would not be enough. This is simply impossible.
Everyone was in disbelief.
But Fan Renli obviously wouldn't joke about this kind of thing.
At this moment, everyone's expressions became a little different.
Zhu Kun also looked incredulous. Ezhou was a huge hole. How could it be solved so easily by the third child? It must be Lin Qingfeng.
But why did the other party do this?
His father didn't want to see him so much that he blocked the southwest, and even wanted to completely suppress the southwest at the expense of the three kingdoms' marriage.
However, the other party spared no effort to support Southwest.
He couldn't figure it out no matter what, and he wasn't willing to accept it.
He said: "Father, Lin Qingfeng's wolfish ambition is obvious. The third child and him are mixed together. They cannot distinguish between right and wrong. It is no less than collaborating with the enemy and treason..."
Zhu Kun was obviously anxious, and even said that he was collaborating with the enemy and treason.
It's not wrong to say this, because Southwest is already a country within a country, but this is obviously not something that can be said.
as expected!
Zhu Tianzheng was furious, "How outrageous! Southwest is my territory from the imperial court, what are you talking nonsense about?"
"Furthermore, Lao San is going to take over Ezhou according to my order. I allow him to kill him first and then report. I also made it clear that no matter what method is used, as long as he can solve the problem of Ezhou."
"What he did was all my will. Do you want to say that I am also guilty?"
Zhu Kun suddenly turned pale with fright, and said quickly: "I am scared, but I don't dare!"
All the ministers also looked at each other in confusion.
The third prince was actually ordered to go to Ezhou? Why haven't you heard of it before?
Compared to everyone else who was slightly surprised, Fan Renli had a hint of joy in his eyes and the corners of his mouth could not help but raise slightly.
He Donglai, Minister of the Ministry of War, said at this time: "Since His Highness the Third Highness acted under orders, Zhang Weimin indeed committed huge corruption and framed the King of Southwest, so he deserves to die."
"That's right! The Third Highness has worked so hard, which is really rare."
"Not only did His Highness have no faults, he actually made meritorious deeds in solving Ezhou's problems."
"..."
Many courtiers agreed.
Zhu Kun's teeth chattered faintly. He wanted to say that even if the third child was acting under orders, he could not escape by pretending to pass the imperial edict, but Qin Zhengyang kept winking at him, so he had to endure it.
Zhu Tianzheng glanced at him, his face still cold, and said: "It seems that it is really difficult for me to ask the third child to go to Ezhou secretly. So many people are stumbling for him behind his back. In this case..."
"Pass my decree and inform all ministries that Ezhou New City will be fully taken over by Lao San. In addition..."
As he spoke, he looked at the letter Fan Renli had just submitted in his hand, and continued: "Lao San said that the corruption situation in Ezhou Xincheng is extremely serious, and even involves the entire Ministry of Commerce. According to my decree, Lao San will thoroughly investigate the Xincheng corruption case, and the Ministry of Commerce We will cooperate fully, and I will not forgive anyone who dares to make small moves behind his back and violate the law."
"yes!"
All the ministers said in unison.
Zhu Kun's face became extremely ugly.
After returning to the mansion, he became even more furious, "It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable. Not only was that bastard Lao San safe, but he took over Ezhou..."
Zhu Kun's teeth chattered.
With such a good opportunity, he originally thought he could kill Lao San, but it turned out to be a good thing.
Compared with his anger, Qin Zhengyang's face was ugly and solemn.
"Uncle, why did you stop me just now? The third child pretended to pass the imperial edict, and Lin Qingfeng intended to rebel. Both of them are destined to die..."
Zhu Kun was obviously a little angry.
Qin Zhengyang shook his head and said: "Lin Qingfeng went to the southwest by himself, how could he fake the imperial edict?"
Zhu Kun said: "So what? Hasn't the third child already admitted it?"
Qin Zhengyang said: "Your Majesty has made it very clear, allowing him to behead first and report later. He also said that as long as it can solve the Ezhou problem, any method is fine. Although falsely spreading the imperial edict is an unforgivable crime, given this premise, do you think your Majesty will deal with it this way?" ?”
"What's more, he pretended to pass on the imperial edict to protect His Majesty's majesty."
Zhu Kun's face froze, obviously confused.
Qin Zhengyang saw this and said, "Don't you understand? Lin Qingfeng openly broke through the border, and now by doing so, he went to Ezhou on orders..."
Zhu Kun's face changed slightly.
Still a little unwilling to do so, he said: "Why does my father spoil Lin Qingfeng? Hasn't he always hated this bastard? Lin Qingfeng openly broke through and wasted the emperor's life. He could have used this Ezhou incident to label Lin Qingfeng as a rebel and take advantage of the opportunity. Eradicate and then conquer the southwest..."
Qin Zhengyang's eyelids were twitching wildly, and he thought in his heart: Do you think His Majesty doesn't want to do this? You also need to have that ability.
If you really have that ability, why wait until today?
The blockade of the southwest and the marriage with Dali Wanxiang were all due to lack of strength and the only economic blockade. Unfortunately, it failed in the end.
Although Lin Qingfeng did not have a large army accompanying him this time, there were still many guards. If there were any, the consequences would be disastrous.
What's more, in the current situation, Li DPRK is facing internal and external troubles.
To put it bluntly, even if Lin Qingfeng is really dead, who can conquer Southwest?
At that time, not only the Southwest will rebel, but the Night King may also rebel.
Qin Zhengyang was speechless.
The reason why he decided on this strategy at the beginning was not to actually force Lin Qingfeng to rebel. It was just to create a stumbling block for the other party, so that the other party could not easily take over Ezhou, and to make His Majesty even more wary of the other party. Zhu Tai would not be able to clean up this mess.
But who would have thought that the two people on the opposite side would actually play such a trick, and the situation would change instantly.
wrong!
Qin Zhengyang knew very well who Zhu Tai was. Even if Fan Renli was included, they had many interactions during this period. It was not like the masterpieces of the two of them at all, not to mention that Fan Renli had been in Kyoto all the time.
Lin Qingfeng must be controlling everything.
"Uncle, what should we do now? The third child has taken over Ezhou, and my father asked him to thoroughly investigate the Ministry of Commerce. If one of them is not good, I'm afraid..."
Zhu Kun had a worried look on his face.
During this time, he was very powerful in the court, and many people were placed in the Ministry of Commerce.
Qin Zhengyang also frowned and asked, "Is there anything Zhang Weimin missed?"
Zhu Kun said: "No! If Zhang Weimin is alive, he is really a huge threat. He is responsible for Ezhou. Now that he is dead, he is clean. Lin Qingfeng never dreamed that he would help this prince this time. Come back."
Although he said this, his heart was bleeding.
Qin Zhengyang nodded, "That's good. The Ezhou side is cut off. The third prince in Kyoto won't be back for a while. We have plenty of time. However, the third prince took over Ezhou and Lin Qingfeng helped him. I'm afraid it will be such a mess. really want to...
Zhu Kun said quickly: "Uncle, we can't let the third child stand up."
Qin Zhengyang paused and said, "It's not that there is no way. There is an even bigger bottomless pit. No matter how much money the third prince confiscated, he can't fill that bottomless pit."
