Chapter 812 The whole family is a rebel (96)

The emperor is dead, but the chaos that this father and son brought to the world has not disappeared.

Although Xiao Ji's army had already entered Chang'an, the world was so big that there were always people who did not know what was happening in Chang'an and were still trying to win over people and raise the banner of rebellion.

As for the other rebels, they had surrendered on the surface, but deep down they were still unwilling. Although Xiao Ji could not empathize with them, he could understand some of it.

But that's all.

He would never give up the world he had gained, nor would he let this hard-earned peace be destroyed by a group of rabble.

After dealing with government affairs for a whole day, whether discussing important matters with ministers or reviewing official documents, Xiao Ji's bones were almost stiff after a whole day.

When Zhong Xing came in with new official documents, he did not see Xiao Ji at the desk, so he asked the personal guards inside. Everyone around Xiao Ji knew his identity, so they showed him the way.

When he followed the route indicated by the guards, he saw Xiao Ji practicing martial arts in the luxurious bedroom.

"His Majesty……"

Zhong Xing stepped forward and looked at it quietly for a moment. When Xiao Ji noticed him, he stopped and said, "Uncle, this is a memorial sent by the Imperial Censorate."

Xiao Ji glanced at the thick document and his face darkened instantly, "Who are you impeaching again?"

He hasn't officially ascended the throne yet, but he has so many official matters to deal with every day. If he ascends the throne and becomes emperor, will he still have any private time of his own?
Zhong Xing coughed and said a few words.

Xiao Ji was wiping his sword and didn't hear clearly. He asked again and then he heard what Zhong Xing said.

The evil emperor?

The word "Li" was the posthumous title given to Chen Shen by the ministers.

In this matter, the ministers with ulterior motives were surprisingly unanimous in their attitudes. After someone brought up the word "Li", both the civil and military officials who followed Xiao Ji to fight and the ministers and families of the previous dynasty in Chang'an agreed with almost no controversy.

It seems that it has long been an indisputable fact that Chen Shen is guilty, his crime is against the country and will be passed down through generations.

But the one who made the final conclusion was Xiao Ji.

After all, he is the one holding the guns and cannons.

Xiao Ji had already seen through the ministers' thoughts, and he happened to not want to waste time on such boring things, so the matter was concluded.

The previous dynasty has passed, but the world is not at peace. The people still live in fear and anxiety, fearing that this brief peace will be broken by a bigger storm.

Human life is as cheap as grass.

they know.

But they still want to live.

Xiao Ji opened the memorial. The first person to be impeached was a young man from a wealthy family. He had been pampered since childhood and had never had to do housework. He lived a more carefree life than the princes. He was from a wealthy family and had to flee to the north between Chang'an and him. After he took over Chang'an, he donated grain and clothes, did a lot of good things, and was rewarded. For a time, he was the most popular person. Even the old men in charge of their family in the court felt a little overwhelmed, let alone the young man who was brought up in pampering.

The first memorial was read quickly.

Seeing Xiao Ji's unhappy expression, Zhong Xing carefully asked, "Uncle, is this a murder case?"

Xiao Ji didn't say anything, but threw the memorial to him.

Zhong Xing didn't dare to look at it at first.

He was a rebellious person to begin with, and never believed that the emperor was truly "appointed by Heaven and destined to live forever" and was superior to others. However, his uncle was a mountain that he could never reach in his mind, and an omnipotent god in his eyes, so he was not willing to be disrespectful to his uncle in the slightest.

But Xiao Ji asked him to watch, so he did. After watching for a while, Zhong Xing snorted coldly, "What a big mouth, those who know think it was their granary that saved the people of Chang'an City, and those who don't know think that this world was conquered by their family!"

After cursing, he continued to watch. The more he watched, the more his face turned greener and his temper became more and more explosive. Finally, he was so angry that he cursed fiercely: "This is simply outrageous. He is just a fence-sitter who changes with the wind. He has a gold border and the name of a century-old family. Does he really think he is gold?"

Putting down the memorial, he volunteered, "Uncle, leave this matter to me. I promise to seek justice for those girls who died in vain. If I don't skin this so-called noble family, I will not be named Zhong!"

Xiao Ji was angry at first, but seeing that he had been trained by Zhou Jin and other veteran officials for a long time but still had such a hot temper, he found it very funny. "Solving cases is the business of the Supreme Court, you have no right to interfere."

Zhong Xing immediately said, "Then I will ask to be transferred to the Imperial Court. I don't want to be the chief physician anymore!"

He was the Langzhongling, a highly-trusted official of the emperor, who was coveted by everyone but could not get one. He said he would not accept the position just to seek justice for the people he had never met, and for the lingering fire in his chest.

Xiao Ji still shook his head, "Don't interfere in this matter, I have a more suitable candidate."

Zhong Xing was a little unconvinced. He was obviously the most suitable person to go to the Supreme Court. Not only did Yan'er and the others say so, but even Lord Zhou Jin and the former Supreme Court Justice Li Cong had such an evaluation of him.

But a figure quickly flashed through his mind.

Xiao Ji looked at him with a smile, as if he wanted to hear his answer.

Zhong Xing followed suit and slowly uttered two words, "Wang Wu?"

……

Back in the palace, Xiao Ji was dealing with official documents, so Zhong Xing gave his orders to Wang Wu, who was also serving in the palace.

Although he was entrusted with an important task, there was hardly any joy on Wang Wu's face. He had a wooden face and calmly accepted the order. When he turned around to leave, Zhong Xing suddenly noticed something and called him.

"Wait, you..."

Before he touched Wang Wu, Wang Wu, who seemed to have noticed something, had already taken a step back. He looked at Zhong Xing respectfully and vigilantly, but his hands were not very honest. He secretly hid a wooden sculpture worn around his waist.

When Zhong Xing saw this, he couldn't help but show a look of understanding.

"I see."

Wang Wu was a little confused when he said this, so he asked, "What advice do you have, Doctor?"

Zhong Xing smiled and said, "Nothing."

Wang Wu: “…”

Seeing that he looked confused and was unwilling to leave, Zhong Xing took out an exquisite wood carving from his body. Wang Wu could tell at a glance that the wood carving was clearly a smaller version of Zhong Xing. He seemed to understand something and the vigilance in his eyes disappeared.

Zhong Xing stroked the little man in his hand and said to Wang Wu, "Take your baby out, do your job well, and don't let the little princess down."

Wang Wu nodded and was about to leave when he heard Zhong Xing say, "The weather has been good recently. If it stays sunny, the little princess and her friends will arrive in Chang'an by the time the snow on the road melts."

Zhong Xing went into the inner hall again, and Wang Wuze retreated.

Standing in front of the hall, looking at the majestic and solemn imperial palace, a murderous intent of determination to win rose on his face again.

Aristocratic family?

Princely?

Haven't you heard what the little princess once said: Are kings, princes, generals, and ministers born of different species?
Let this lowly man hold the knife and teach the little princess a lesson to those noble families on how to behave with a humble attitude!
