"Such evil deeds are outraged by both humans and gods, and cannot be tolerated by heaven. When I hear this, I am also filled with grief and indignation. For the current plan, I implore Your Highness to conduct a thorough investigation and return my country to purity, and my ministers to innocence."
Jin Shangxian knelt in front of Zuo Menggeng, bursting into tears, extremely sad and angry.
After this incident happened, he suddenly became the biggest suspect. There is no way to wash away the grievances without making things clear and thorough.
As expected, people from Shen Qiyuan's group did not intend to let him go.
"Hmph, the thief shouts to catch the thief, don't try to deceive the eyes of the world. I beg Prince Xia to punish him and punish the treasonous Jin Sangxian."
Shen Qiyuan's close confidant Zheng Heng screamed and killed him and refused to let go.
"The whole story is still unclear. Does Mr. Zheng just want to frame him?"
Naturally, Kim Sang-hyun's people would not just sit idly by and Hong Yi-han argued hard.
"Jun Haiping was assassinated, and Jun Qingchang benefited the most. If you didn't do it, who could it be?"
"The principles of heaven are clear and the world is clear. Your Highness, King Xia, knows everything clearly. How can you allow you to slander others?"
The dispute that the two sides had finally calmed down has escalated again, and there may be a fight on the spot in the next moment.
There was a loud bang, suppressing all sounds.
Everyone turned around and saw that Zuo Mengeng's face was livid, like an angry tiger.
Only then did they remember that it was definitely not the courtesy of a courtier to show off his power and cause trouble in front of a ruler. All of a sudden, they all fell down, extremely obedient.
At this moment, Zuo Mengeng didn't bother to wake them up.
Showing the majesty of a king at critical moments is more conducive to controlling the situation.
"You are all important ministers of the country. You have read poetry and books since childhood, how can you not understand the truth? In such a big event, the country is unstable and the people are uneasy. It is time for us to work together to save the situation. But you are attacking each other, and you are What’s the point of destroying the Great Wall?”
Under his reprimand, the two groups finally did not dare to make trouble.
However, everyone knows that if the assassination of Hai Pingjun cannot be properly resolved, the contradiction between the two factions will always exist.
Zuo Mengeng had to come up with a solution and convince both factions.
Is there anything he can do?
There really is.
"Send an order back to Shandong and ask Huang Zonghui to come with capable personnel to thoroughly investigate this case."
If you want to find out the truth and find out who is the murderer, neither Shen Jiyuan's family nor Kim Sang-heon's family can be trusted.
Even Song Shilie and his team, who were watching, lost points in front of Zuo Menggeng.
The best way is to send in completely unrelated people so that you can remain impartial.
Seeing that Zuo Mengeng had come up with a solution, even though everyone in North Korea had many ideas, they had to keep it in their hearts at this time.
If the results of the investigation by the people from Xia State are not satisfactory to them, today's frustration will inevitably erupt like a volcano.
Zuo Mengeng took a tough stance.
"Nowadays, we are facing a great enemy. The Manchus and the puppet kings are still wreaking havoc everywhere. If you ignore the overall situation and pull each other's legs, which affects the army's campaign, I will not be lenient."
Zuo Mengeng put forward the bottom line request.
No matter how the two factions fight, it must not affect the war. Otherwise, he would have thundered down from the sky and killed him.
Everyone in North Korea was trembling, and at the same time there was a sense of clarity in their hearts.
However, with the death of Haipingjun Li Ji, the political situation in North Korea could never go back.
Jin Sangxian returned to his residence with his troops, still suffering from a splitting headache.
"But who among you is acting recklessly?"
Even Kim Sang-hyun had some doubts. Did the people below take such extreme measures without informing him?
"How can we not know the seriousness of it, and know that such actions will have endless consequences? How can we dare to risk the disapproval of the world?"
Hong Yihan expressed his feelings on behalf of everyone.
Although they were very dissatisfied with the practices of Shen Qiyuan's group, they were all scholar-bureaucrats, and their method of struggle was always limited to the officialdom.
Let’s fight with words, not with force.
This is a consensus that has long been formed after the struggle with the Great Northern Faction.
No one can afford the consequences of sending assassinations to cause bloodshed.
"Could this be a ploy for the other party?"
Someone came up with an idea.
Although the Shen family and the Jin family each proposed candidates for the monarch, due to the difference in strength between the two sides, the Shen Qiyuan family was obviously at a disadvantage.
In such a situation, how should the opponent reverse the situation?
Now it seems that because of Li Ji's assassination, the Jin family has been regarded as the biggest suspect both inside and outside. It can be said that the Shen family has the upper hand.
Judging from the results alone, this idea is not unreasonable.
But after thinking deeply, Jin Sangxian slowly shook his head.
"There are only a handful of people who can inherit the throne now. Once Lord Haiping dies, will it be impossible for the other party to find a suitable candidate?"
The purpose of both sides is to gain power by supporting the king. Now the only hope of the Shen family is dead. It obviously doesn't make sense to rely on this to frame the gold system.
So who is the murderer?
Kim Sang-hyun still has an idea in his mind, but he has not made it public.
The current situation is full of mist, and I would rather do nothing than act haphazardly, otherwise it will be easier to do bad things.
Compared with the grief and anger of the Shen family and the embarrassment of the Jin family, the Song family, which has nothing to do with themselves, is quite likely to rise.
"Jun Haiping is dead, and Jun Qingchang can no longer convince the public. If we recommend a suitable candidate, we will definitely succeed."
When a dispute broke out between the two largest factions in the court, Song Silie felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The Shen family lost the person they relied on, and the Jin family was the most suspicious, so it would be unfair to recommend Qingchang Jun again.
So at this time, the Song Dynasty, as a third party, has the initiative.
If the person elected by them becomes the king, he will naturally control the court and implement the political philosophy of the Song Dynasty.
Like Song Shilie, the rest of the people responded and geared up, all preparing to take advantage of the opportunity.
"You don't understand the situation, and you are in a dangerous situation without knowing it. This is the way to die!"
A tough and spicy voice came from outside, like a cold wind that instantly woke up everyone's heated minds.
When the door opened, an old man appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing this person, even Song Shilie couldn't help being shocked and hurriedly came up to meet him.
"Teacher, why are you here?"
The person who came was none other than Song Shiyeol's teacher, the great Korean scholar Jinji.
Jin Ji and his father Jin Changsheng have great influence in North Korea's political and literary circles, and both father and son are Song Siyeol's teachers.
Jin Ji was also a fan of Liu Zongzhou, and his nickname was Shen Duzhai.
When he heard that Liu Zongzhou had come to Korea, Jin Ji ignored the danger and rushed through the Qing coalition's defense lines to Busan. He discussed with Liu Zongzhou day and night and improved his knowledge a lot.
When news of Li Ji's assassination came, Jin Ji keenly felt that something big was about to happen. Fearing that Song Shilie would be confused for a moment, he rushed over day and night.
Fortunately, he arrived in time to prevent Song Xi from taking a fatal step.
