Capital, Prime Minister's Mansion.
It is already July and summer is approaching. The Prime Minister is sitting on a bamboo and rattan chair, holding a secret letter in his left hand, clasping the tea bowl with his right hand, and gently grinding the rim of the cup with the lid.
In front of him, several young men stood with their hands hanging.
"So, Prince Ning failed, and Shen Changfeng should also have died." Prime Minister Gu Jing Bubo still stared at the secret letter, "His Majesty has already dealt with the matter in Ningzhou."
"Yes," a young man reported, "My subordinates and others secretly followed him all the way. When His Majesty arrived in Ningzhou, everything was done quickly and the problem was solved in just two months."
"The plague thing is definitely done by Shen Changfeng." The prime minister asked.
"It's almost as if Master Shen was using the plague to collude with immortal cultivators from Pulan Kingdom to enter Ningzhou," the young man bowed, "but His Majesty also found out.
In addition, His Majesty convened a group of people to develop their own medicine against the plague, which has been put into civilian use and is very effective. "
"Shen Changfeng died unjustly," the Prime Minister sneered, "If I find out about this, I will kill him.
Our Daqian is the place where immortality originated. How can foreigners come in casually? "
The young man nodded: "Yes. After His Majesty finished handling the matter in Ningzhou, he asked the Governor of the Prefecture to write this secret letter to the Prime Minister. It was passed to his subordinates and delivered as soon as possible."
"Your Majesty is very thoughtful. He is indeed the emperor soon," the prime minister slowly put away the secret message. "He wants to use Ningzhou as a front for transactions with foreign countries."
Naturally, several subordinates did not dare to interrupt when it came to state affairs.
"Do you know the story of Shen Changfeng's death?" This is the key, the Prime Minister needs to find out.
"At that time, His Majesty went to sea with people from the former Southern Wei Kingdom, saying they were looking for some exotic fairyland. Shen Changfeng followed him secretly and never came back," the young man continued, "Because the matter was so tight, my subordinates and others were afraid that something would go wrong. I didn’t blend in.”
"That's all." The Prime Minister thought for a while and stopped worrying about how Shen Changfeng died. "You said that His Majesty came into contact with people from the former Southern Guard?"
"Yes," the young man was sure, "these people were originally the palace guards of the former Nanwei. After the destruction of the country, for some unknown reason, they were transferred to the Yingyue Sect, and some of them became immortals.
However, adults must be worried. They are just remnants of the previous dynasty who have entered the Immortal Path and their realm is only at the level of Qi Refining Realm. "
The Prime Minister shook his head. These were not the people he was worried about.
The emperor still came into contact with people from the former Southern Guard... So how much did he know about what happened back then?
The matter involved two departments, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple, but he didn't know which department was in charge.
"You have someone take the lead and ask the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment and the Minister of Dali Temple to come and see me." The Prime Minister felt that it was impossible not to intervene, "Just tell me that I have something to discuss in secret."
The young man took the order: "Sir, the matter between Ningzhou and the General Affairs Department..."
"The matter has become a foregone conclusion. Besides, His Majesty has not said what he will do with Ningzhou, which has given the world a lot of face." The Prime Minister took a sip of tea, "This shows that His Majesty is still very afraid in his heart.
He's just a young boy, and he's also the founding emperor. It's inevitable that he'll be a little impatient about some things.
Besides, what kind of pharmaceutical factory he has set up produces drugs for human use, which is not worth mentioning in our opinion.
The General Affairs Department also arranged the yamen. Shen Changfeng committed such a serious crime, and Shifang World will also investigate him. It would be better if he died. "
After weighing the left and right, the Prime Minister believes that the current situation will have no negative impact on the world of Shifang.
On the contrary, it is equivalent to the emperor getting rid of a cancer for the Shifang world.
After all, collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is not only the human race, but also the most feared among immortal cultivators.
Shifang World will naturally give an explanation.
Look, the emperor has become a lot better.
That's it, it will mature after you exercise it a few times.
Men all need a similar process.
The Prime Minister felt stable and waved people down.
On the other side, Dali Temple.
On the edge of the pond, there was a handsome young man sitting fishing.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly and set a restriction with a wave of his hand. Then a vertical slit opened between his eyebrows, revealing an eyeball.
The eyes burst out with light and cast them above the pond, forming a scene of light and shadow.
A figure appeared: "Sir, the matter in Ningzhou has come to an end."
The handsome young man's expression remained unchanged and he still sat quietly.
The person in the light and shadow clearly explains the cause and effect.
"So, you can confirm that His Majesty's killing of Shen Changfeng took a little bit of national luck, but it is not the key." After listening to the entire report, the young man spoke slowly.
"My subordinate is not here at the scene," the man hummed, "My subordinate used the soul-chasing method. Before Shen Changfeng's remnant soul went to the Nether Realm, his subordinate intercepted it.
Although the explanation is not clear, it can be roughly inferred that His Majesty has used the destiny of the country.
But the real key is that His Majesty has entered the immortal path and is already an immortal cultivator. "
This is something that goes against the laws of heaven. There has never been such a thing in the past.
But the young man smiled: "It's interesting, it's really interesting. For an emperor who can cultivate immortality, Heaven actually doesn't kill him and allows him to be so carefree."
"Sir, this means that something is similar to what we imagined." The man said this with a trembling tone.
"There's no rush, there's just hope," the young man waved his hand, "We haven't achieved breakthroughs in some key conditions yet."
"That's another question," the man nodded. "His Majesty has had contact with people from the former Southern Wei Kingdom. I believe that he already knows about the clan affairs of the former Southern Wei Kingdom."
The young man clenched his fists.
"Sir, the case back then was reviewed by the Ministry of Punishment, and we were just reviewing it," the man expressed his concerns, "but it was us who finally arrested the former Nanwei clan."
The young man pursed his lips and spoke after a while: "I've done it, I'm the Minister of Dali Temple. No matter what, this hurdle cannot be avoided. Your Majesty wants to pursue it when he comes back, so we have to see if it's appropriate.
After all, it is the clan of the former Nanwei and the enemy of the Daqian Kingdom, so it is not easy to reverse the verdict.
As for the Ministry of Punishment, it is estimated that it has received the news now and is already destroying the tampered cases from that year. "
"This... the people from the Punishment Department are so unkind. Fortunately, they are still cultivators of immortality." The man sighed, "It's like saying that the blame is now all passed on to our Dali Temple."
"That's not what it is," the young man sneered, "You are also a young minister of Dali Temple. Please pay attention to your words after returning to the court. Don't easily leave excuses to others at critical moments."
"Understood," the man nodded, "then the former Nanwei clan, would you like me to go and 'explain' to you."
"Your Majesty will probably meet the people in prison privately," the young man narrowed his eyes, "You have to be careful so as not to expose your mistakes.
Also, those around His Majesty who know the former Southern Guard are trying to get rid of them secretly. If they are recognized, trouble will come. "
"They are just some palace guards, die-hard loyalists," the man smiled, "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will start taking care of it immediately."
The young man's eyes closed, and the two broke off contact.
He stared at the rippled pond and smiled unexpectedly as he thought of something.
