285:Forcing people to the point where they have no way out.
Qingfeng looked at the list.
There are many wealthy families among them, and they can be said to be deeply rooted in the court.
He looked embarrassed and said: "Your Majesty, the spy has collected a lot of clues about officials, and it is not a problem to investigate and search. But...but the prince just taught some officials a lesson before, although the emperor did not pursue it and let the matter go.
It may make a big fuss, but we should keep a low profile at this time."
Although the master is extremely powerful, it is not easy for him to have bad relations with many officials.
Once they unite to play in the court, they may be in constant trouble.
Yesi Heng took a sip of tea and didn't care.
"It's time to clear up the officialdom. How can you do anything important if you are so timid?"
Qing Feng felt aggrieved and curled his lips, "I'm just afraid that these officials will join forces to play for the prince."
"That's just right. If they don't do anything, I will still find it boring." Yesi Heng said.
Seeing that his master had made up his mind, Qing Feng couldn't say anything else.
He took the list with him to get the evidence collected by the spies.
Dali Temple only deals with human life cases, and investigating officials is the job of the Supervisory Yuan.
In just one day, three or four aristocratic families were investigated. The black-armored guards not only searched the house, but also arrested a bunch of people.
Who in Mu State doesn’t know that the Overwatch Council takes orders from the Ninth Prince.
The common people loved to watch the excitement, and they all discussed in private how these aristocratic families had offended the Ninth Prince.
Other aristocratic families were frightened, fearing that it would be their turn next.
But they soon received secret messages.
He invited them to Mingyue Tower to discuss important matters together.
There is no need to point it out, they have already guessed what this person meant by posting this post.
How dare they gather at this juncture?
But the next day, the Supervisory Yuan went to search several aristocratic families, including the Duke's Mansion of the Ming Dynasty, and took away many people.
Once you enter the Overwatch Council, you will have to shed a layer of your skin even if you don't die.
These people were uneasy and considered for a long time whether to sneak out that night and go to Mingyue Tower for an appointment.
Mingyue Tower is still prosperous, with people coming and going.
That person had already made arrangements. As long as they took out the special gold-encrusted post, someone would pick them up and take them to a clean and safe place.
It is a tea garden.
The indoor furnishings are elegant and unique, with smokers placed east, west, north and south, filling the room with fragrance.
After the heads of various aristocratic families came in, they saw many of their colleagues. Although they looked embarrassed, they quickly calmed down and greeted each other.
They all know very well that those who come here are somewhat unclean, and they are afraid that the Supervisory Yuan will find out about them.
It was almost time, and someone walked out of the inner room.
The lamps were bright, clearly reflecting the plain clothes of the visitor.
Everyone clasped their hands and saluted: "The Duke of Jin."
Since the tragic death of the Duke of Jin's only son, he has been living in seclusion and ignoring government affairs.
They did not expect that the Jin Guild would step forward at this time.
The Duke of Jin experienced the pain of losing his son. His hair turned gray almost overnight, his face was withered and he looked very old.
He raised his hand to invite everyone to sit down and said: "In the past two days, the Supervisory Yuan under the Ninth Prince has been randomly searching the government and arresting people. I think everyone is worried."
Everyone looked at each other.
They are not only heads of aristocratic families, but also officials holding important positions in the court.
The Duke of Jin invited them here, presumably because of their strength.
One of the family heads named Gu said: "The Duke of Jin did not have to beat around the bush. The reason why he died miserably was because the Ninth Princess refused to give the talisman to save him that day. But with the Ninth Prince standing in the way, the Duke of Jin could not do anything to her.
The princess takes action. The Duke of Jin wants to take this opportunity to deal with the Ninth Prince, so why not just tell him how to do it."
Others nodded:
"Yes, there is no way to do things cleanly in the court. The Ninth Prince suddenly behaved like this, which forced us to have no way to survive."
"Mr. Jin, we will follow your lead."
"Yes, if Duke Jin has any brilliant plan, why don't we tell him directly. If it continues, we will be imprisoned in the prison of the Supervisory Yuan."
"..."
The Duke of Jin was very satisfied after listening to these people's chatter.
He sent people to search for capable people and brought back Fan Guizong. Unexpectedly, both attempts failed.
However, Ye Siheng became anxious because of this and actually used the Supervisory Yuan directly, causing a bloody storm in the court and panic among the people.
He spent a lot of time during this period to find out the details of these people and ensure that they would not act rebelliously.
Then he interacted with her again, and now she can sit in the same boat with him.
He coughed lightly a few times to calm everyone down.
"The Ninth Prince covers the sky with his hands, and everyone in the Anyang Marquis Mansion is arrogant, all because the emperor indulges them to the extreme." Jin Guogong said.
Everyone heard what the Duke of Jin meant, and their expressions changed immediately.
The head of the Gu family glared at Duke Jin: "Gong Jin, no matter how much you want to avenge your son, you can't let us confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!"
How dare you think of regicide?
It’s crazy!
The Duke of Jin was not angry and said coldly: "I want to cut the Nine Princes, his wife and the Chu family into pieces, but you also have to think about it. Once the emperor is gone and the prince ascends the throne, with his weak and incompetent
Due to his temper, he will definitely rely on the Ninth Prince even more. When the time comes, will you still have a way to survive?"
Everyone was suddenly speechless, their bodies felt cold, and they all had concerns in their hearts.
They have a whole family to support, so they are naturally not so honest in the court.
Emperor Muwu liked to weigh the forces of all parties, and because he was old, he would not take drastic measures against them.
It would be better if a mediocre person like Ye Chengyan ascended the throne, as they could make more money from it.
But the premise is that there is no Ye Siheng in charge.
During these two years, Si Heng returned to Beijing from the border to reorganize the officialdom. Not only did they not get any advantage, they also had to be cautious all day long, and their life was miserable.
The Marquis of Anyang was a military general who was upright and did not know how to adapt, so he had more or less conflicts with them.
Unexpectedly, Chu Nanli hooked up with the Ninth Prince, and the Anyang Houfu became prosperous and prosperous, and they were already red-eyed with jealousy.
But the Ninth Prince was at the top of his game, and Chu Nanli was very capable, so there was nothing they could do.
When the Duke of Jin saw that none of them spoke, he knew that they had figured out the pros and cons.
With a smile on his face, he said: "Everyone, once this is done, not only will we be able to overcome this difficulty, but we will also be able to find a new way for our family to survive."
"But once things fail... I will confiscate my family and exterminate my clan." Someone said softly, "Maybe, maybe the Supervisory Yuan will not come to arrest me."
The Duke of Jin hummed: "You can take chances, but you have all had conflicts with the Anyang Marquis Mansion, so how can the Ninth Prince reuse you? Now that the officialdom has been reshuffled, you aristocratic families are still quite prosperous.
But in a few years, will you ensure that your family can still gain a foothold in Kyoto?"
Everyone was gnashing their teeth in hatred.
