On the way back to the palace.
Ji Luochen had already guessed the motive of King Qi's rebellion.
After all, who was born into an emperor's family, who could not be tempted by the supreme throne?
As both princes, his father can sit on the throne, why can't he?
Moreover, the scheming government of this King of Qi can also be called terrifying.
After knowing that there was no hope for the throne, he hid all his ambitions, and then forcibly turned himself into an idle prince. He hid it for thirty or forty years.
Moreover, the reason why his father left the palace in the first place, giving the Demon Sect an opportunity, was because he wanted to see the King of Qi.
People who have been in high positions for a long time are very lonely.
It happened that this King of Qi was his father's brother. Maybe his father felt a little depressed and there was no one around him who could open his heart and speak freely, so he set off to find King Qi in his fief.
Among them, the matter of his father being ambushed by the Demon Cult seems not to be that simple.
At first, he thought it was the eldest prince Ji Wujiang who killed his father because he was eager to take the throne.
After all, Ji Wujiang colluded with the Demon Cult to assassinate him when he ascended the throne, so he learned from the past.
But now that I think about it, this King of Qi definitely played an important role in the process.
The more he thought about it, the more Ji Luochen felt a sense of crisis.
At the same time, I also felt how terrifying this King Qi’s city was.
The most difficult thing to change for a person is his or her character. The character you are born with is your character. If you want to change it the day after tomorrow, it can be said that 99.9% of people in the world cannot do it.
"Husband, if you find it troublesome, I will kill the King of Qi."
At this time, Yao Yue saw the worry that never went away from Ji Luochen's face, and couldn't help but say in a cold voice.
When Ji Luochen heard Yao Yue's words, she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart.
No matter when the time comes, your woman is the most loyal to you.
Then Ji Luochen reached out and grabbed Yao Yue's jade hand.
This made Yao Yue couldn't help but blush on her face.
"Yue'er, I know you want to help me solve my problems, but King Qi's matter is no small matter. Although you have great martial arts skills, King Qi has been developing secretly for decades. Not to mention how many forces he has, I am afraid there are definitely not a few martial arts masters. "
"It's hard to guarantee that he won't have any martial saints or powerful people from the land of gods and goddesses under him to take refuge."
"If you go there rashly, I'm afraid you will be ambushed and your life will be in danger. This matter is not urgent. It needs to be considered in the long run."
"Now King Qi doesn't know that his plan has been exposed."
"Now I am in the dark and he is in the light. As long as we plan better, we still don't know who will win in the end."
"Ding, a new mission has been issued to find out the rebellion of King Qi. The mission reward is: 30,000 Snow Dragon Riders, along with Xu Xiao's six adopted sons."
Um?
Ji Luochen, who was talking to Yao Yue, couldn't help but change his expression when he heard the system prompt tone.
Maybe she noticed something strange about Ji Luochen, so Yao Yue couldn't help but asked with concern: "Husband, what's wrong with you?"
Ji Luochen came back to his senses and shook his head slightly: "It's okay, I just suddenly remembered something."
Under the protection of everyone, Ji Luochen returned to the palace.
As soon as he arrived at the Imperial Study Room, Ji Luochen called Qinglong.
"His Majesty."
Seeing Qinglong, Ji Luochen ordered in a deep voice: "Go immediately and investigate all the officials in the court for me, who were transferred to the imperial city from Qizhou, and what official positions they hold. Be sure to do everything in detail. Don’t miss one.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qinglong knew that the matter was urgent, and after responding, he turned and left.
Ji Luochen didn't rest all night long, waiting for the results of Qinglong's investigation.
Just when it was getting dark in the morning, Qinglong rushed back.
"Your Majesty, I have investigated all the officials in the court and all those who have served in Qizhou."
"In addition to the five officials implicated in the embezzlement of disaster relief funds from the three northwest counties, there are also two officials in the court who were transferred to the imperial city from Qizhou."
"One is Wang An, the current Minister of War, and the other is He Feng, the right minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Hearing Qinglong's words, Ji Luochen couldn't help but have a cold look in his eyes.
"Send someone to notify Cao Zhengchun and ask him to interrogate the five officials in the prison immediately."
"Go and capture Wang An and He Feng secretly. Remember, you must not let others know about Wang An and He Feng's arrest. You must handle it secretly."
"I don't care what method you use, you must pry their mouths open for me and try to know as much as possible about King Qi's rebellion."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Qinglong said respectfully, and then left with a firm expression.
The Ministry of War Shangshu Mansion.
Wang Anzheng was sitting in the room, secretly rejoicing.
Fortunately, he had the support of King Qi and was not blinded by the huge benefits of disaster relief funds.
Otherwise, it would be absolutely difficult for him to escape this disaster relief case.
Then he was dumbfounded by the new emperor's methods.
He never imagined that the new emperor would be so powerful and that he could control the court just after he ascended the throne.
They captured Left Prime Minister Jiang Li and Right Prime Minister Yun Xiao one after another.
It seems that this time the prince's uprising is imminent.
If the new emperor is given time to continue to develop, I am afraid that many variables will increase.
But he wasn't too worried. The prince had been planning this day for who knows how many years.
He has many elite soldiers and powerful generals, and he has many strange people and strangers to help him.
Even the overseas White-haired Sword Immortal, the lord of White-haired City, was recruited.
Whether it is military or force, it has an absolute advantage.
Now all we have to do is wait for the prince's rebellion to succeed and kill the little emperor. As a minister of Conglong, he will surely make things better.
Although he has now become a first-class official, it is not enough. He wants to become the prime minister below one person and above ten thousand people, and become a powerful minister like Jiang Li and Yun Xiao.
Just when Wang An was still imagining that King Qi would sit on the throne and he would become the prime minister.
A figure appeared behind him without anyone noticing.
As if feeling something, Wang An couldn't help but look back in confusion.
But before he could see the person clearly, he was knocked unconscious by a knife.
Then wrapped in black cloth, Wang An disappeared into the room.
On the other side, in the house of the Minister of Rites, He Feng was caught in the same scene as Wang An and was quietly taken away.
In a dark cell, there were two big words "Prison" written on it.
This is the interrogation place specially built for Jin Yiwei by Ji Luochen's orders.
The meaning of imprisonment means that no one who comes here will not confess.
The black cloth on their heads was taken off, Wang An and He Feng adjusted to the light, and saw the four commanders of the Jin Yiwei standing there with cold faces.
"What are you going to do? Why did you arrest me here? I am a high-ranking official of the imperial court. Do you know what the crime is for arresting an official of the imperial court for no reason?"
Listening to Wang An's shouting, Qinglong sneered.
"Then do you know what our Jin Yiwei represents?"
"The imperial power has granted us the right to kill first and report later. Not to mention you, a mere first-class official, even if a relative of the emperor breaks the law, I, the Imperial Guard, have the right to arrest them."
As Qinglong spoke, he clasped his fists upward. The meaning was self-evident. They only obeyed the emperor's orders. No one can be as big as the emperor.
