People are in high positions.

There are people who spy on it.

The internal storm of the Qin Dynasty, triggered by Ji An's escalation, reached the peak of dispute with King Wu Li Yuan, which also made Li Yuan, who had just escaped from his busy state feel a little irritated.

He became a minister for eight years.

In addition to the time he was a senior official, Chen Ping had more than ten years in the field of the court, and this term was long enough that those who had ideas about the phase could no longer wait.

What is even more important is that Chen Ping's character is not without any gaps. As Li Yuan received information, Chen Ping had received bribes from his subordinates and gifts from Gentile missions many times, and Chen Ping never confessed the whereabouts of these things to Li Yuan. Of course, no one is perfect, and Li Yuan did not want to pursue these minor details. What he valued more was Chen Ping's ability and his contribution to the development of Qin.

Now, Ji An's memorial has broken through the cover that Li originally wanted to maintain. If he ignores the truth, the corruption of officials but does not receive the punishment they deserve will inevitably make other officials resent and follow suit. In that case, the era of Qin II and Zhao Gao's mischief will appear again. If Chen Ping is investigated and punished, it will cause the current stable political turmoil in Qin State. Li Yuan is difficult to determine what to do.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Chen Ping sat upright in front of the desk with a blank expression. The one placed on the desk was the large bunch of corals mentioned when Ji An impeached him.

In the house, Zhang Fu, Zhang Zhong, Zhang Suniang, Hu Zhuang, He Ping and others were there, and Chen Ping's eldest brother Chen Yuan was also there. As for the evil sister-in-law who once looked down on Chen Ping, Chen Yuan had already been retired early. Hu Zhuang and He Ping were both from Daliang, and they also had the same hometown as Chen Ping.

These people are all relatives of Chen Ping and are also core members of his group. In addition, many county magistrates promoted by Chen Ping and county magistrates are also backbones of the Chen group, but these people cannot be regarded as core members of Chen Ping's power.

"Son-in-law, why don't I confess to King Wu, just say that I can't resist the temptation and accepted Lu Jia's bribe. This matter has nothing to do with you."

After a while of silence, Zhang Fu said tremblingly.

After Zhang Fu arrived in Guanzhong, he worked as a Du Agriculture Supervisor for three years. In this position, Zhang Fu was praised by Li Yuan for the successful jungle of Zheng Guoqu. In the past two years, due to his age and age, many young officials have gradually been promoted after the reunification of the Qin State, so there is no need for an old man like Zhang Fu to work hard.

Chen Ping and Zhang Suniang gave birth to a son three years ago. Now Zhang Fu is full of children and grandchildren, and he is happy, but he doesn't want to have such an unprovoked disaster. The coral was actually collected at the banquet when Chen Ping's son was three years old. At that time, it was just for a festive celebration, but he didn't want the disaster to be summoned from this.

"What did your father-in-law say? Even if you stand up and admit this, will the people behind Ji An believe it? Will those people let go?" Chen Ping shook his head and said.

Who is behind Ji An?

Chen Ping didn't have to guess, and he knew that there must be a shadow of Li Zheng.

Chen Ping, the brother of King Wu Li Yuan, was more or less worried. Although he knew that Li Yuan did not have much true brotherhood towards Li Zheng, his bloodline was endless. If he really had an opposition to Li Zheng, Chen Ping could not judge that Li Yuan would definitely stand on his side.

Moreover, this time, it was obvious that he was caught by Li Zheng's people. Even if Li Yuan had the heart to protect him, he could not find a suitable reason.

"Second brother, Ji An is just a low-level messenger. His report from King Wu will not believe it. We might as well just explain to King Wu that it is Censor Li who is slandering us-!" Chen Yuan said angrily.

"Shut up, no matter how much you say, you will go back to Daliang." Chen Ping's face darkened and he shouted at Chen Yuan bluntly.

After being yelled like this by Chen Ping, and Zhang Fu, Zhang Su Niang, Zhang Zhong and others next to him all had no good expression on Chen Yuan. After Chen Yuan whispered a few times, he shrank into the corner.

Between brothers, Chen Yuan is the eldest brother again, and Chen Ping is disrespectful when he is so angry. However, this crisis, coupled with the past, Chen Ping, who has always been calm, can no longer control the anger in his heart.

Brotherly love is always erased.

Just like Chen Ping and Chen Yuan, when Chen Ping was in a down-and-out relationship, Chen Yuan let his evil sister-in-law bully his weak brother without saying a word. After Chen Ping became rich, he ran to Chang'an again, and Chen Ping couldn't keep his elder brother out. After giving him a few cold faces, he helped Chen Yuan find a low-level messenger position.

Unfortunately, Ji An attacked this time, it was the news that Chen Yuan's mouth leaked. If he hadn't boasted in front of his colleagues that the coral was so dazzling and unparalleled, the speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. Ji An listened to Chen Yuan's remarks, and there were many people present to testify.

Just as Chen Ping, Zhang Fu and others were discussing countermeasures, there were also ups and downs in the Censor's Mansion in Changlefang, the city.

The Censor Li Zheng, the chief censor, was guarding the countryside, and there were five or six Chang'an officials. The Censors were whispering to each other. In addition to these New Qin officials, there was an old man sitting there, holding his back, wrinkles on his face, and constantly covering his mouth and coughing lightly.

If Li Yuan were here, he would definitely recognize him, Chen Di.

This important official of the Former Qin Dynasty who was dismissed because of the Ying family incident, the former backbone of the Ying family, once again appeared on the political stage of the New Qin Dynasty.

Chen Di and Li Zheng got entangled.

This was something Li Yuan never thought of. Over the past few years, his main energy has been focused on how to deal with powerful enemies such as Liu Bang, Xiang Yu, and Maodun. For the officials around him, he only instructed Yan Le to pay more attention to the enemy's secret insidiously and sneaked into the Qin officials, rather than caring too much about the interactions between officials.

"Cough cough cough, you all stop talking. Listen to me, if you want to pull Chen Ping off your horse, Ji An, you can't accept gifts at once. You must also provide more lethal evidence. Think about it carefully, who have Chen Ping offended over the years and what things have he done to make the public angry?"

Chen Di bent down and lowered his gray head. After fading out from the center of the Qin political power, his life was a bit down. The luxury of life in the past was impossible, and the land given by the clan back then was also taken back due to the rebellion of the Ying family. In desperation, Chen Di decided to take the risk and go back to Chang'an to fight for the last time.

If Li Zheng could become the prime minister and Chen Di worked hard in it, I believe Li Zheng would not treat him badly. More importantly, Chen Di's descendants would have a backer.

"It is not difficult to find the evidence carefully, but whether this matter can be accomplished is the key lies in King Wu's attitude. If King Wu protects Chen Ping, no matter how much evidence we provide, it will be useless." Guan Yue, the white and fat face of Dunong, showed a little worry.

Guan Yue's political attitude has always been the free and easy faction in the center, but this time he stood on Li Zheng's side. The reason was that he and Zhang Fu, the former agricultural supervisor, had a serious disagreement on the appointment of agricultural officials.

"No matter what happens, I still have to test King Wu's attitude first. If he still likes Chen Xiang, I will withdraw from here-!" Li Zheng walked back and forth in the room, looking up at everyone, and then lowering his head to ponder.

"Mr. Censor, we can't just wait like this. King Wu has returned to the Shenhou Mansion. If Chen Ping takes the lead in slander, then my original ending might be-!" Chen Di said quietly.

Political struggle.

Not much cleaner than on the battlefield.

In Chen Di's opinion, Li Zheng was obviously still very immature. He was still fantasizing about finding the critical evidence of a fatal blow, which was obviously too naive.

The key to the present is not to find evidence, but to make King Wu Li Yuan believe. Chen Ping’s problems are very serious and have affected the stability of Qin’s internal affairs. If he does not give up, the new Qin will face an unprecedented upheaval. And honest officials like Li Zheng and Guan Yue who are loyal to their duties will feel helpless and desperate.

There is a saying that goes, drive a duck to put it on the shelves.

This is the case with Li Zheng now. In fact, his demand for prime minister is not as strong as everyone imagined. At least, Li Zheng believes that as long as Li Yuan takes over the power of Qin, the position of prime minister will be his Li Zheng sooner or later. His leisurely mentality is now nervous because of Ji An's attack on Chen Ping.

A place where there are people.

There is a world of martial arts.

Among the Hun tribes, Maodun, Helianbi, Hu Yanxie, Qiu Lijin, including the dead Tieffle, Zhelan Songhua and other large tribe leaders were intrigue. Inside the new Qin State, since Li Yuan led his army to rise, internal frictions and struggles have not been cut off. Previously, neither Li Bi nor Chen Di could make any big waves. This was mainly because Li Yuan handled it properly. This time, when the external threat was basically eliminated, the internal conflicts between various factions of Qin State suddenly became sharp.

——.

There was a strange storm in the Prime Minister's Mansion and the Censor's Mansion.

King Wu Li Yuan, who was at the center of the storm, was listening to the investigation report of Yan Le from Zhijing Si.

Yan Le is also a member of the court.

However, his status was transcendent. Due to his past experience, both Chen Ping and Li Zheng kept a distance from him. More importantly, because of Yan Feng's existence, the mutual trust between Yan Le and Li Yuan was closer. In fact, Yan Le had no other ally power in the court except relying on Li Yuan's support.

"According to what you said, Chen Ping's greed for Mo is true, Ji An did not mean to exaggerate at all?" Li Yuan frowned and asked while looking at the long scroll presented by Yan Le.

"Reporting to King Wu, there is no problem with Ji An's impeachment in terms of content. However, it is also a reason for Chen Xiang's acceptance of Lu Jia's gift. If he refuses, the envoy of the South Vietnamese country may misunderstand that our attitude is cold, which may lead to conflicts between the two countries. From this point of view, Chen Xiang's acceptance of gifts is not impossible, but the only mistake is that he did not submit it to the treasury in time after receiving the gifts." Yan Le replied.

In some things, the authorities and bystanders have different attitudes toward things because of their different identities.

Yan Le did not participate in any of the internal struggles between Chen Ping and Li Zheng, but instead allowed him to discover the essence behind this matter more clearly.

"There is another thing. In the Censor's mansion, our people discovered an acquaintance: Chen Di, who sneaked back to Chang'an City from Yongqi and lived in the Censor's mansion." Yan Le paused for a moment and said again.

"Yan Le, go and stare at Chen Di yourself, pay attention to his every move, and record all those who have contacted him, especially those who are in contact with the palace." Li Yuan's face changed and he ordered.

He knew exactly what kind of person Chen Di was.

Although this old man has always been hidden behind the scenes, he is the backbone of the Ying clan. His appearance is very likely to have another deep meaning.

"It's so simple to just incite Li Zheng to fight for the war? Or are there any other plans?" Li Yuan suddenly realized that after achieving a military victory over the Huns, he was still not smooth. He still needed to cut through the thorns and eliminate the many difficulties on the road to the development of Xin Qin.
