"My officer?"
Zhuge Yuanlang pointed at his nose and sneered: "Mr. Zhao, are you looking for the wrong person?"
"I am a bachelor of Hanlin University, and I am dedicated to cultivating talents for our Dawei Dynasty."
"I will not participate in changes in the political situation, let alone those intrigues."
"What's wrong with me?"
"Does Tian Yi count as yours?"
Zhao Ping asked.
"Calculate."
Zhuge Yuanlang admitted: "But that's a typical example."
"Just as the entire Dawei Dynasty belongs to His Majesty, can we guarantee that the entire Dawei Dynasty is of the same mind as His Majesty?"
"The forest is so big, there are all kinds of birds."
"Besides, although I am a Hanlin University scholar, I don't often give lectures in the Hanlin Academy. Tian Yi committed a crime and it has nothing to do with me."
"What about going to the first floor that day?"
Zhao Ping asked again.
Zhuge Yuanlang's expression changed.
However, he quickly covered it up and said proudly: "The number one building in the world is a government-run brothel."
"I am an official of the imperial court. I have a heavy burden on my shoulders. I work so hard every day. Why can't I go to a government-run brothel for a few sips of wine, listen to some music, and enjoy some dances?"
"Is this also wrong?"
"But the laws of the Dawei Dynasty have never issued laws prohibiting court officials from entering brothels?"
"Mr. Zhao, don't think that just because you hold Shang Fang's sword in your hand, you can really replace His Majesty and assign crimes to us, the ministers of the DPRK, at will, and then execute us."
"I am not convinced."
"Are you convinced?"
While speaking, Zhuge Yuanlang looked around again and asked loudly.
"Not convinced."
Officials supported by the Qian family were the first to express their stance.
Then a large number of people objected and expressed dissatisfaction.
Then the six ministers, other officials, etc. were all very unhappy.
"Why is a man from the countryside so unruly in the capital?"
"Is it just because I hold Shang Fang's sword in my hand?"
"If I remember correctly, His Majesty gave him Shang Fang's sword but asked him to kill officials who colluded with bandits."
"What about us?"
"But they are all high-ranking officials in the capital. Which one has colluded with the bandits?"
"Why should he arrest us? Why should he chop us?"
"That's right, I'm not convinced."
"What's more, we have worked hard for the Dawei Dynasty for so many years. Even if we have no credit, we still have hard work. Even if His Majesty comes, he will choose to turn a blind eye. It would be better for him to kill this and chop that as soon as he comes. , does he regard the capital as his backyard?"
"Not convinced."
"Not convinced."
Opposition voices arose one after another.
At first it was just officials, but later even the people around those officials started shouting.
The sound got louder and louder.
Zhao Ping also frowned, he really didn't expect such a thing to happen.
According to their original plan.
It was up to him to step in and prevent the crown prince from ascending the throne.
If there is a change in the situation of the court, Your Majesty will step in to calm it down.
But everything went very smoothly. Not only did he stop the prince, but he also made Queen Hao confess.
Then His Majesty wanted Zhao Ping to completely muddy the water and lure out those disobedient people.
Zhao Ping also complied.
Borrowing the intimidating power of Shang Fang's sword, he successfully captured six ministers and killed Qian Shi of the Qian family.
He has even taken down two of the three great bachelors.
When it was the third's turn, something like this happened.
To be honest, Zhao Ping started to blame His Majesty in his heart.
The majestic king of a country, instead of stepping forward to solve the problem, you asked me, a peasant with mud-legged background, to eliminate the ministers of the DPRK.
How can I be so virtuous?
Isn’t this?
People are already dissatisfied.
Start protesting.
What to do?
Although I have Shang Fang's sword in my hand, can I really chop off the heads of all these people?
If it were cut down further, these people might immediately rebel.
At that time, who will protect His Majesty's safety?
No, strictly speaking it's your own safety.
Don't you see, what those officials said became more and more outrageous.
"I suspect that the Shang Fang sword in Zhao Ping's hand is fake."
"Normally, when the emperor gives Shang Fang the sword, there must be documents, an announcement must be issued to inform the world, and an imperial edict must be drawn up, etc."
"In short, there are traces to follow."
"But how did he get the Shang Fang sword in his hand? Why have we never heard of it?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I suspect that the Shang Fang sword in Zhao Ping's hand is fake."
"this……"
For a time, everyone thought of such a possibility.
After all, the Shang Fang sword in Zhao Ping's hand had an incorrect origin and did not comply with the rules.
But some people have raised doubts.
For example, the Crown Prince Mu Chen, who just had a business deal with Zhao Ping.
He said coldly: "You are talking nonsense."
"Why did Mr. Zhao come to the palace with a fake Shang Fang sword?"
"Doesn't he know that it was the crime of killing the Nine Clan?"
One sentence stopped everyone again.
If you use a fake Shang Fang sword to cause trouble in the palace, it would be easy to punish the Nine Clan.
Zhao Ping brewed acacia wine, soap, frosting sugar, etc. and made so much money. How could he do such a stupid thing?
Everyone focused their attention on Zhuge Yuanlang again, expecting him to give an answer.
After all, he was the one who took the lead in disobedience.
Zhuge Yuanlang did not express his position, but looked at Xu Chun.
Even Su Wencheng looked at Xu Chun.
Xu Chun cleared his throat and said smartly: "Haha, let me answer your questions."
"Everyone knows that Zhao Ping has the recipe for acacia wine."
"Xu Jiuguan came to the capital twice in a row to bring acacia wine to sell. The price was astonishing, and it almost emptied our family fortune."
"So everyone is coveting that recipe."
"As far as I know, many important officials in our Dawei Dynasty have sent people to Xiping Village to discuss cooperation with Zhao Ping."
"But sincerely?"
"I'm afraid you know it better than anyone else."
"Now that Zhao Ping has come to the capital, it means that everything discussed has ended in failure."
"It even annoyed Zhao Ping."
"That's why he lied that the sword in his hand was the Shangfang sword given by His Majesty."
"He came for revenge."
"Find out all those behind the scenes who sent people to Xiping Village to cause trouble for him, and catch them all."
"Is there such a thing?"
Zhuge Yuanlang exclaimed in unison.
"Then what should we do?"
"what to do?"
Xu Chun said loudly: "It's very simple."
"He forged the Shang Fang Sword and caused trouble in the palace. He is the public enemy of our Dawei Dynasty."
"Let's chop off his head together."
"Hang it outside the palace gate as a warning to others. Let's see who dares to act so boldly in the future?"
"Yes, chop him."
One stone stirs up a thousand waves.
Zhao Ping beheaded Qian Shi, arrested so many high-ranking officials, and sealed off the No. 1 Building in the World to interrogate the girls one by one.
Doesn't this push them to a dead end?
Not killing is not enough to vent your anger.
As for the problem after killing, it is also simple.
Someone took the lead, and everyone said that the Shang Fang sword in Zhao Ping's hand was fake.
Even if His Majesty comes back, he will not hold so many people accountable at once.
Then those officials kept winking, gesturing to the guards and entourage around them to chop Zhao Ping.
At this time, there was a figure faster than them.
He arrived next to Zhao Ping almost instantly.
It's Li Hu.
Li Hu took out the Tang Dao from his waist and looked around with eager eyes.
Whoever dares to act rashly will definitely chop off the other person's head immediately.
Followed by Gao Meng and others, they also quickly walked towards Zhao Ping, forming a circle and surrounding Zhao Ping in the middle, protecting him very well.
Ying Yi was stunned for a moment.
He glanced at Zhao Ping, then at Li Hu, Gao Meng and others.
Then he looked back at Chen Xuan who was also shocked, silently stepped back a few steps, and stood next to Chen Xuan.
"Yingyi, please clear the way, let's move closer to Mr. Zhao."
Chen Xuan ordered in a low voice.
