Seven days later, hundreds of officials gathered in front of Weiyang Palace.
There has been no court meeting for such a long time, which has never happened since the founding of Daqing.
Following the attendant's singing.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Hearing this sound, Yang Wenyuan took a long breath and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He followed several ministers outside the palace, exchanged glances with each other, and nodded one after another.
After all the ministers entered the palace, they saw the figure of Emperor Qing sitting on the dragon chair, but there was no Prince Liu Qi.
This made Yang Wenyuan and others even more happy.
It stands to reason that Liu Qixian is now the prince of the prison country. After establishing his identity, he should preside over this first court meeting.
But now he has not appeared. In Yang Wenyuan's mind, there is only one answer, and that is the prince, who can no longer come.
Moreover, after these few days of investigation.
The gate of the Prince's East Palace was always closed. Many guards gathered at the door, and many doctors came and went.
Among them, the frail Emperor Qing was also included.
If the prince had nothing to do, with his character, he would definitely do something. Thinking like this, Liu Qi was probably dead. Yang Wenyuan had no doubts about his own thoughts.
Emperor Qing looked very weak. After coughing a few times, he suddenly said to the courtiers below.
"Dear ministers, something big has happened in the court recently. Do you know what it is?"
Everyone in the audience shook their heads, with confused looks on their faces. It was hard to tell whether they were pretending or if they really didn't know.
Until Emperor Qing spoke again, the civil and military officials were in an uproar.
"Just a few days ago, the prince was assassinated!!!"
The prince's assassination was already considered a big deal.
Who has the courage to confront the prince's opponent?
All the officials were shocked! !
At this time, Yang Wenyuan stood up immediately.
"Your Majesty! How is the prince now?"
"What do you think? Master Yang?"
Emperor Qing's question made Yang Wenyuan's heart tremble, but he was sure that this matter would never be exposed.
Immediately responded to Emperor Qing who was sitting in the seat.
"Your Majesty! The prince has just been in charge of the country, and something like this happened. He dared to murder the prince. Such behavior is simply outrageous. I petitioned the old minister, and the investigating officer who did this will definitely find out the mastermind behind it. Otherwise, I would like to Take the blame!"
Emperor Qing took a deep breath and looked at Yang Wenyuan with a playful expression.
"Oh? Mr. Yang, do you have a way to find out the murderer of the prince?"
When Yang Wenyuan heard this, he immediately kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, I can't help you."
"However, the prince has just celebrated my great achievements and made immortal achievements. He has just been named the prince of the supervising country, and he was assassinated by gangsters. I dare to feel sad for such evil deeds."
"No matter who did it, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. No matter what the cost, I will find this person out, give me Daqing, and give His Majesty a satisfactory explanation!"
Emperor Qing nodded.
At this time, Yang Wenyuan spoke again.
"Your Majesty, I am worried. Your Highness, how are you now?"
The ministers also began to echo the words and asked Emperor Qing.
"Yes, Your Majesty, how is the prince doing now?"
"Is the prince...?"
At this time, Emperor Qing, who was sitting at the table, sighed softly, but he didn't say anything.
When all the officials saw this, they were in an uproar.
Looking at Emperor Qing's sad look, the prince is probably dead, right? Even if he is immortal, it looks like he is going to be hopeless.
Just as there was a commotion in the main hall, Emperor Qing suddenly spoke.
"Ministers, if the prince is no longer here, what do the ministers think?"
After a few seconds of silence in the hall, Yang Wenyuan walked out again.
"Your Majesty, if the crown prince is no longer able to preside over the government, and your body is still in recovery, for the sake of Daqing's country and the people of Daqing, the emperor should immediately abolish Liu Qi's position as crown prince and replace him with a new crown prince. Make sure our Qingguo won’t be in chaos because of this!”
"Yes, Your Majesty, your dragon body is still recovering, but the affairs of the court, both large and small, need to be handled by someone. It is better to temporarily remove the position of the Crown Prince and establish a new Crown Prince. After the Crown Prince recovers, he will return to his position."
"In order to protect Daqing's country and the country, I would like to ask the emperor to temporarily change the prince to a new one!"
Following Li Shouting's loud shout, other ministers began to join in with him.
For a moment, all the courtiers knelt on the ground, already looking like they were forcing the palace.
"Temporarily changing the crown prince, in my opinion, it is not necessary, right?"
Yang Wenyuan raised his head instantly.
"Your Majesty, this is a matter related to our Daqing imperial court and the country, don't hesitate? Although we all know that the prince is very capable and should be the best choice for my Daqing prince, but now, the prince cannot go to court, you The dragon’s body has not healed yet.”
"Excuse me for being rude, sir, but if something unexpected happens, how will I deal with it?"
However, when Yang Wenyuan said this, Emperor Qing asked before he finished speaking.
"Master Yang, do you also think that Qi'er should be Daqing's best-chosen crown prince?"
Yang Wenyuan immediately nodded heavily.
"Of course, Your Majesty!"
"The prince has both moral character and virtue. Since he entered the government, he has been diligent and diligent. He has uncovered many treacherous officials in the Daqing court and purged the world."
"Faced with the Xiongnu who invaded our Daqing, they defied all opinions and went out with only a few soldiers to fight bravely without fear of death!"
"During the expedition, we not only found out the tragedy that happened in Jincheng, but also uncovered the prince-in-law who had committed many crimes."
"Afterwards, when he arrived in Peiping, he was even more brave. In just a few months, he suppressed the rebellion in the Kingdom of India and defeated the conspiracy of Saruman the Hun."
"So far, even in the face of the imperial court's slander, we still did not flinch. We took the northern troops and horses several times less than the Xiongnu to fight against them. In less than half a year, we solved the long-standing problem in Daqing. hidden dangers and the cancer that has plagued the North for many years.”
"Later, we signed a commercial treaty with the Tubo Kingdom, which improved our Daqing's commercial properties. In addition, the female empire and South Korea have intensive relations with our Daqing. This has never happened before."
"Who can achieve such a feat? The prince's trip should be for me, the first prince of Daqing!"
What surprised him when he heard Yang Wenyuan say this was that the corners of Emperor Qing's mouth suddenly raised slightly, which suddenly gave him a very bad premonition.
"If Master Yang hadn't said this, I wouldn't have discovered that my son Liu Qi is so outstanding."
"If that's the case, then why bother changing to a new crown prince! Xuan, Liu Qi enters the palace!"
Hearing Emperor Qing's shouts, all the officials took a deep breath, and the faces of Yang Wenyuan and others changed dramatically.
At this time, I heard footsteps suddenly coming from outside the door.
Under the sunlight, the young man wearing black dragon patterns was not the prince Liu Qi, who could he be.
"Hahaha, thank you, Mr. Yang, for praising me so highly."
"I'm sorry, this prince cannot be replaced. I disappoint you."
With that said, Liu Qi strode to the foot of the stairs, bent over and raised his hands to Emperor Qing who was sitting on the throne.
"My son, Liu Qi, comes to see my father!"
Frightened and unbelievable, Yang Wenyuan's mood at this time was very complicated. He never thought that Liu Qi was still alive, and his condition seemed to be better than before.
"Qi'er Pingshen, you heard what the ministers just said!"
"My son's words fall into my ears."
"Okay, then you will be the one to host the next court meeting!"
"My son, I obey!"
After speaking, Liu Qi raised his body, put his hands behind his back, and suddenly laid his eyes on Yang Wenyuan.
"Master Yang, do you know your guilt?!"
Yang Wenyuan trembled and pretended to be confused and frightened.
"Your Highness, I don't know...how can I say this?"
Liu Qi nodded.
"Oh! I have forgotten. Mr. Yang, you are getting old and your brain has begun to lose memory. Okay, in that case, I will tell you."
Saying that, he shouted loudly.
"Enter the palace!"
Immediately, Qin Wei, Lu Liang, Bai Qi, Zhang Dehai, and Luo Cheng all walked into the main hall.
"Read it!"
Zhang Dehai immediately took out a piece of paper from his sleeve pocket.
In his dictation, facing the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he immediately read out dozens of Yang Wenyuan's criminal evidence.
Among them are many of his party members, including Li Shouting, Jia Siming, Duan Yinbo and others...
Every time he read this sentence, the uninformed officials were all shocked. It was hard to believe that the prime minister of Daqing had done so many evil things in private.
At the same time, Yang Wenyuan was trembling all over. He really couldn't figure out how the prince found the evidence of his crimes.
After Zhang Dehai finished reading. Liu Qi slowly walked to Yang Wenyuan.
"Master Yang? Can you plead guilty?"
Yang Wenyuan slowly raised his head.
"Your Highness, this is all slander! How could I have done so many evil deeds after serving two generations of Daqing monarchs for so many years? Your Highness, even if you want to punish me, you have to do so. Can you bring out the evidence?"
Liu Qi smiled slightly.
"Is this the evidence? Okay, I will make you give up today!"
After saying that, Tingwei Zhang Shi walked in from outside the palace.
The appearance of this guy made everyone present in Yang Wenyuan's party shudder.
Without evidence, it is absolutely impossible for this guy to show up.
as expected.
In Zhang Shi's oral account, he not only identified multiple witnesses, but also obtained multiple physical evidences, all of which could point to the numerous crimes committed by Li Shouting, Jia Siming, Duan Yinbo and others.
After hearing this, Yang Wenyuan burst out laughing.
"Master Zhang, what do you say have anything to do with me?"
His followers were all dumbfounded. They did not expect that at this moment, they would indeed be tricked by Yang Wenyuan.
So simply, break away from dry cleaning with them.
However, Yang Wenyuan does have such qualifications, because in the things he said, he never left a tail for himself. He was always done by people. Even if he had evidence, he could not be caught.
"Yang Wenyuan! You are the mastermind behind the assassination of the prince. Don't you still admit it?"
"Yang Wenyuan, everything we do is under your instructions. Now, at this time, do you want to sever ties with us?"
.....
Before Liu Qi could say anything, Yang Wenyuan's own people started to have civil strife.
But Yang Wenyuan was really thick-skinned. Even so, he insisted that he didn't do anything. They did it privately and had nothing to do with him.
"Okay, Mr. Yang, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Pass on a witness."
Yang Wenyuan was slightly stunned, not wanting there to be witnesses.
who? Still have your own evidence? Could it be Pei Yan? It's impossible, he has already left, and he is loyal to himself and will never betray him.
That would be...
When this person appeared, Yang Wenyuan was in disbelief and immediately collapsed to the ground.
I could hear the attendants singing.
"Ms. Yang enters the palace!"
No one thought that this witness would be Yang Guifei, Yang Wenyuan’s daughter, Yang Mi.
Looking at Yang Wenyuan with a ferocious face on the ground, Yang Mi Demi frowned and had tears in her eyes.
"Father, just admit it! The evidence of your crime, your daughter... your daughter have been handed over to the emperor."
Yang Wenyuan was immediately heartbroken.
He was on every possible precaution, but he didn't expect that the one who finally defeated him would be his own daughter.
"Come here, take all the ministers whose names you just read to the Tingwei Mansion, and then handle them after review!"
Qin Wei, Bai Qi, and Luo Cheng immediately led the soldiers entering the palace and personally escorted Yang Wenyuan and the ministers out of the palace.
When passing by Yang Mi, Yang Wenyuan laughed.
After half a life of being a master, unexpectedly, he would fall into the hands of his own daughter. It’s ridiculous, it’s ridiculous!
As the people's cries of injustice gradually disappeared, the hall finally became much quieter, and nearly half of the people were missing.
The remaining officials lay trembling on the ground.
It's hard to believe that Liu Qi could be so ruthless. These were dozens of officials in the imperial court, and they all held important positions in the imperial court. Liu Qi actually escorted them all to Tingwei Mansion without even the slightest hesitation. .
But what surprised everyone the most was.
The prince's methods of doing things.
In less than a few hours, Yang Wenyuan's entire party was eradicated?
Could it be said that the prince is not worried that Yang Wenyuan's accomplices outside will take the opportunity to cause trouble?
You must know that Yang Wenyuan has been in trouble for so many years. Whether it is military or civil affairs, an intricate network has already been formed. If he takes action rashly, it will inevitably cause chaos. Many ministers also know that this is why Emperor Qing treats Yang Wenyuan. Because of repeated patience.
Immediately afterwards, Liu Qi explained the matter.
It turned out that his injury was real, but it did not hurt him at all. It was just because he was wearing a homemade "bulletproof vest".
At that time, I just fainted from fright.
However, in order to deceive others, the prince Liu Qi used a trick and locked himself in the East Palace, creating the illusion that he had been assassinated. This was also done to paralyze Yang Wenyuan's party.
During this time, Liu Qi sent Qin Wei, Bai Qi, and Lu Liang to collect evidence of Yang Wenyuan's crimes, while at the same time draining the firepower and seizing the military power and political power of his subordinates.
In addition, he also persuaded Yang Mi to go to the house in person to collect evidence of his father's crime.
Only in this way did Liu Qicai promise Yang Mi that he could save his father's life and that the Yang family would not be completely implicated at this time.
From then on, all the ministers clearly realized that what Yang Wenyuan said was absolutely correct. Looking at the princes of all the countries in the world, no one can compare to such a prince!
