Where Xu Mochen was staring, there was no movement for the time being, but there was turmoil in the capital.
The reason was that he ordered a thorough investigation into the case of the former Nanwei clan.
In the process of Da Qian's unification of the world, dozens of countries and local governments, large and small, were eliminated.
Xu Mochen showed no mercy to the members of the royal family.
But instead of exterminating all members of the clan, he moved them all to the capital. They were given preferential treatment, but in fact they were under semi-house arrest.
Now, he began to investigate the case of the former Nanwei clan, which involved these people.
When they were moved to the capital, the immortal cultivators ignored them, while ordinary human officials were very hostile.
After all, they were once hostile national forces.
Therefore, they live in the capital with fear and are often bullied.
Now the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have begun re-investigation, and these people have jumped out.
Everyone was complaining about being wronged. They were abused here and bullied there. They asked Xu Mochen to give a fair explanation.
To put it bluntly, I just want to rely on this wave to turn over a little bit.
In this way, things just snowballed.
In addition to various rumors, there are also various opinions among the people.
Some said that the emperor was harsh and ruthless, some lamented the misery of those who lost their country, and others believed that the country's justice was unfair.
All in all, people began to question Xu Mochen's order to thoroughly investigate the case, and he became suspicious of Daqian.
This weathervane was keenly grasped by officials.
Immortal cultivators are happy to see this.
"You must be stupid now. You think that any case can be overturned, but you still don't feel grateful for helping him get rid of hidden dangers."
"Do you really think you are a talented person?"
"Don't be ridiculous. When I elected him as the emperor to unify the world, wasn't it because I thought he was the stupidest and made everything weird and useless?"
"You should let your Majesty calm down, otherwise you will always think that you are hard, which is over-expansion."
"Continue to submit the letter and be sure to tell the truth."
Therefore, all the memorials coming up are centered on this matter.
Every one of them was worried about the country and the people.
Xu Mochen read a memorial requesting immediate closure of the case and threw it on the table.
After Tang Derun left, Zhao Lingbo took on the job of secretary assistant.
"Look at what's written, it's like ghosts crying and wolves howling," Xu Mochen pointed at the memorial, "If you want me to close the case on my own, what about the decree I made not long ago."
Although things are very bad, and he even feels that the national fortune has been lost recently, Xu Mochen still insists on his own approach.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Lingbo put together the memorial, "their purpose is nothing more than to get Your Majesty to issue an edict to punish oneself."
It's not like he was guilty of the imperial edict, but he wanted to force the emperor to take the initiative to admit his mistake.
In this way, people will really lose the support of the people and the national movement will be shaken. .
Xu Mochen pondered that during the time of reunification, it was a smooth journey. He thought it was all his own strategy, so he had no important advisers around him.
After all, people like Tang Derun are cultivators of immortality, and sometimes their brains don't work well.
The current situation involves not only the battle between the human race and the immortal cultivators, but also affects the court.
The court is the foundation of Xu Mochen. If it is lost, it means that there is no blessing of national luck and dragon luck, and it will be a dead end.
He had to rethink the formation of the team.
Zhao Lingbo is the princess, but she only knows medical skills and can't make up her mind on court issues.
Not to mention Shen Zhining and others.
"It seems that if we want to calm things down as soon as possible, we can only deal with the case of the former Nanwei clan as quickly as possible." As he said that, Xu Mochen's eyes fell on Tianyi Temple again.
It’s almost time to take action…
Tianyi Temple is located in Tanglong Mountain near the capital.
This temple is an official temple designated by the Daqian royal family and has a certain status.
After the death of successive emperors, all the concubines in the harem
He was sent here to worship Buddha all day long until he died of old age.
Of course, the immortal cultivators among them were just using their shells to escape.
Tang Derun has been watching this area for almost a month.
Judging from the people coming and going, there is nothing special about it.
It's almost closed. Except for some people who go out to buy replacement ingredients and supplies, no outsiders come.
After all, it is the territory of the royal family, and no one can come without an invitation.
After so long, he almost thought that the information he found was wrong.
Just when he was about to return to Beijing, things finally changed.
"How many carriages did you say came?" He still didn't believe it when he received the report from the Xiuyi Envoy's spies.
"He came from the capital," his subordinates reported, "We followed him all the way, very carefully."
But Tang Derun knew in his heart that no matter how powerful the embroiderer was, he would still have a blank slate when facing the immortal cultivators. They must have been discovered.
If the other party didn't deal with it, they were either confident or waiting for him to take action.
But it was obviously impossible not to investigate. He also had control over the dynamics of the capital, and knew that Xu Mochen was in a difficult situation.
"You guys should retreat," he decided to make a breakthrough. If he could get evidence, it would be a great achievement. "I'll go there myself."
As long as he performs meritorious service, it is only a matter of time before His Majesty congratulates him.
Tang Derun is not reckless. Recently, with the blessing of Xu Mochen's Immortal Fate Pill, his cultivation has been making breakthroughs.
He is now a cultivator at the eighth level of the Blood Training Realm, which is equivalent to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
This level, placed in the court, is also a first-level combat power.
After the arrangements were made, Tang Derun immediately spread out and rushed out.
Soon, he saw the vehicle at the foot of the hill.
There were eight of them in total, and the people driving them looked like mortals.
As the general manager of the Embroidery Envoy, he had a strong ability to lurk and approached the convoy silently.
Perhaps because they had been driving for a long time, these people found a place to take a rest.
Tang Derun was invisible on the branch, and his consciousness swept over him to see if he was wrinkled.
There were criminals in the carriage, which meant that the information from Xiu Yi was correct. These people were transferred from Dali Temple Prison.
Maybe he was a member of a clan from a previously subjugated country.
But Tang Derun didn't know them. If he wanted to find out, he could only go down and ask.
His consciousness scanned back and forth several times to confirm that there were no immortal cultivators, and then he took advantage of the opportunity and turned into escaping light and disappeared into a carriage at an extremely fast speed.
Inside the car, there were four prisoners, all in ragged clothes. They felt the curtains shaking, but before they could react, they were already under control.
He couldn't make a sound or move. He stared at the sudden appearance of Tang Derun with his big eyes wide open in horror.
"Don't shout," Tang Derun signaled, "I am Tang Derun, the general manager of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, your Majesty's closest minister. The purpose of coming here is to save you.
I'll unblock you. If you have any questions, just answer them properly. If you want to shout, I don't mind sending you on your way in advance.
Either live or die, you decide for yourself. "
This was an easy question to choose. All four of them were grunting with big eyes.
Seeing that the other party understood, Tang Derun lifted the blockade: "Who are you?"
One of them replied: "The criminal is Prince Gong of the former Lu State. He has been in prison for several years. Today he turned around and said he wanted to reverse the case for us. I don't know where he is going."
Sure enough, Tang Derun narrowed his eyes, he was also a member of a subjugated clan.
