In the meeting hall of Yucheng Palace, Mu Sheng was checking the official documents sent by Shan Puppet. After a while, the voice of the palace attendant came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, Da Zhongzai is asking for an audience."
"Xuan."
When Mu Sheng saw Bortas coming to the meeting hall, he asked, "How are things going?"
Of course Bortas knew what the emperor was asking, and said: "For the record, my ancestors, in the past few days, when the Supreme Elder of the Xi Clan saw our mountain puppets and the imperial court stationing heavy troops at the border, they immediately mobilized the famous general Longshe Tur of the Xi Clan. Sha has led 200,000 troops to garrison the western border and is ready. In a few days, our Shanpu, Xi tribe, and Taisha will sign a contract to formally cease the war."
When Mu Sheng heard this, he nodded secretly in his heart. The Xi clan finally accepted the strike and negotiated peace under the strong pressure from the surrounding countries. Of course, the main pressure came from the Central Plains Dynasty in the north. If the Jin Dynasty was really provoked and went south to use force, the Xi clan would There is a danger of national subjugation, but the people in the past clan still have this sense of judgment.
Mu Sheng instructed: "Well, very good, Ta Si, you can sign the agreement on my behalf when the time comes. The things here are almost settled. I will leave for the Central Plains in a few days. From now on, Yucheng and Shan My future depends on you."
Bortas bowed and said: "I will obey the decree of our ancestors."
Seeing that Bortas had retreated and the government affairs were almost settled, Mu Sheng turned around and left the meeting hall, going to the quiet room to meditate.
In the afternoon, Mu Sheng had just woken up from meditation. Yang Jin from the inner court came to the secret room and presented an edict, reporting: "Your Majesty, Bai Shou has investigated the cause and effect of the Shucheng assassination. Now Fang Yunyi Fang Tianshi Already waiting in the meeting hall to report."
Mu Sheng said: "Well, let's hold a court meeting immediately and let both the left and right ministers come and listen."
"promise!"
Not long after, Fang Yunyi in the meeting hall saw the emperor arriving and stepped forward to salute.
Seeing Fang Yunyi's dusty journey, Mu Sheng sighed with emotion: "Yunyi is exempt from courtesy. It's been a hard life these days."
Fang Yunyi bowed and said in salute: "Your Majesty, running errands for the imperial court is not a big deal."
Mu Sheng asked: "I heard that the investigation of Shu Cheng's case has almost been completed?"
Fang Yunyi said: "Your Majesty, we have basically found out the truth. According to our investigation, the assassination incident was secretly planned by Xiang Lan, the elder of the Lu Revival Association. Among them, many members of the most powerful Xiang, Cai, and Fan families in Lu All members are involved..."
Fang Yunyi explained almost all the causes and consequences in detail.
In the meeting hall, everyone looked at each other in shock after listening to Fang Yunyi's story, especially when they heard about Lingxuan Zong Jiang Yi, they did not expect that it would involve the past affairs of the previous dynasty hundreds of years ago.
Right Prime Minister Wang Yi asked: "Master Fang, are you sure that the monk who blew himself up is Prince Yi, the descendant of Prince Zhang?"
Fang Yunyi nodded again and confirmed: "Wang Xiangguo, we at Baishou have repeatedly verified it many times. This person must be the young master Yi who fled to Lu State."
Prime Minister Zuo sighed highly: "In the era of various countries, there were many young masters in exile in various countries. I really didn't expect that Jiang Yi was actually a descendant of Prince Zhang? This young master Yi almost destroyed my kingdom and the country of Jin Dynasty. I will not destroy the clan. It’s not enough for the common people to be angry, Master Fang, do you know where the descendants of the Jiang family have gone?”
Fang Yunyi shook his head and said: "We are still investigating now. Once we go out to sea, it will be really difficult to investigate."
Wang Yidao: "Master Fang, did you just say that everyone in the Xiang family has also run away?"
Fang Yunyi said helplessly: "Yes, almost all of Xiang Lan's direct blood relatives have ran away, and the remaining Xiang clan members are only distant relatives. According to our investigation, after the assassination failed, Xiang Lan immediately sent his clan members out to sea to They went to the Dongyi people. They went to sea recently, so they are easy to trace. As for the descendants of the Jiang family, they ran away seven years ago, so there is no way to trace them."
Gao Zhong said: "This group of rebellious officials and traitors have really been planning for a long time. Now it seems that they can only deal with the Cai family and the Fan family first."
In this era, it was still difficult to escape from the land. You had to look at the imperial guides all the way to the city. It would be much easier if you escaped from the sea.
Wang Yidao: "Your Majesty, especially the Lu family who lost the elixir cannot escape the blame. If it weren't for their poor storage of the elixir, how could it have caused such major consequences? They must be severely punished."
Gao Zhong said: "Oh? How does Wang Xiangguo think the Lu family's crime should be determined?"
Wang Yidao said: "I think that although the Lu family's crime does not lead to the execution of the clan, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime is difficult to forgive. I suggest that the entire Lu family be exiled to Yunzhong County to guard the border."
Gao Zhong did have a different opinion and said: "Wang Xiangguo, just now Master Fang also explained in detail how the Lu family lost the elixir. To be fair, this gang of rebellious officials and traitors have been planning for more than ten years. They are so patient. This is It was an unintentional calculation, fearing that no one would be able to guard against it, not to mention that the Lu family had meritorious service with the imperial court in the past, so I suggest that it is enough to punish Lu Yifang, the person directly responsible for the lost elixir, rather than having to exile the entire Lu family."
Mu Sheng thought for a while and asked Fang Yunyi: "Yunyi, all the True Flame and Red Fire Pills collected by the three major alchemy families will be handed over to the national treasury. You Bai Shou will handle this matter personally."
"I respectfully obey His Majesty's edict." Fang Yunyi bowed and accepted the order.
Mu Sheng looked at the two prime ministers on the left and right, and said: "Since the masterminds have run away, let the two prime ministers handle the case first. You can discuss how to handle it first and come up with a charter. Then stand down."
The left and right ministers agreed in unison and exited the chamber.
Fang Yunyi was about to leave when Mu Sheng stopped her and asked, "Yunyi stay, please tell me the details of Lingxuan Zong's investigation process."
"promise"
Wait for Fang Yunyi to explain in detail the process of solving the case.
When Mu Sheng heard this, his heart moved, and he asked: "Yunyi, is the map of all nations in the world really as magical as you said?"
Fang Yunyi was stunned when she was asked. She thought the emperor wanted to know more about the main culprit in the case, but she didn't expect that he was very interested in this map.
Fang Yunyi said: "Your Majesty, I think that Tao Yu, the headmaster of Lingxuan Sect, Yuanlong, is showing off. I don't know whether this picture is true."
Mu Sheng nodded and said: "I understand. Bai Shou and Qing Yi Envoy are the most responsible for bringing this case to this point, especially you. Yun Yi, please go down and rest first and wait for the reward!"
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will retire."
Thinking of Fang Yunyi's description just now, Mu Sheng sighed: "The map of all countries in the world? It's kind of interesting..."
Mu Sheng recalled that he had seen the prosperous city of the Kingdom of God in Tianque. He had no doubt about the authenticity of this map. With the capabilities of the Kingdom of God, it was not difficult to create such an accurate world map. , he now can't wait to go to Lingxuan Sect to see what this other world really looks like.
