Chapter 264 Thunderbolt Explodes, Qin Xiang is Furious

Rebellion in Surabaya State?

British Duke Lu Rusong immediately recalled the complicated emotions at the beginning,

There was my own shock after learning about this, the anger when I slapped my daughter, the fear of kneeling in front of Emperor Chongning, the forbearance of expelling my nephew from the house and refusing to enter the ancestral grave, I couldn't help looking at Qin Sichao with a little bit of A spark of hate.

The eyes of the head of the Black Ice Terrace also froze suddenly, and the eyes were full of light.

At the beginning of the rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, and even the matter of Concubine Shu assassinating Concubine De in the palace, Heibingtai searched for a long time but failed to find out why, and was reprimanded by His Majesty. It has always been a thorn in his heart. He did not expect to hear it here. possible truth.

With Qin Xiang's ability to cover the sky with one hand in the court for more than ten years, his son is indeed capable of doing such a thing.

With this matter, it is indeed possible to bring Qin Xiang down completely.

However, is there any evidence for Xia Jingyun's accusation?
Except for these two people who were related to the incident at the beginning, the rest of the people were also dumbfounded.

Nothing else, the word rebellion is too big.

So big that even Qin Xiang couldn't bear these two words.

In other words, as long as anyone still has the word "chen", it is impossible for anyone to be able to hold on to these two words.

And this is also the bottom line that any gentleman will absolutely not tolerate.

The prince was also dumbfounded. Today he thought it was his own cemetery, but Xia Jingyun pulled him out and kicked the Prime Minister's mansion down?

Zhongshu Shilang panicked and stood up, "Xia Jingyun, do you know what you are talking about? How can you talk nonsense about such things!"

Qin Sichao finally disappeared from the calmness before, and said in a deep voice: "Xia Jingyun! Everyone in the Qin family has their own plans, and some things are for the sake of everyone's dignity. It's fine if I admit it, and I don't care about it with you. But it's not the reason for you to give me a shit basin at will!"

"Young Master Qin is finally angry! I thought you had really cultivated to the point where you can't be flattered or humiliated!"

Xia Jingyun didn't panic at all, and even directly ignored the Zhongshu servant who was jumping up and down. At this moment, he had completely grasped the initiative in the field.

He looked at the crowd and said loudly: "At the beginning of the rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, you were far away in Zhongjing. Maybe you didn't know that clearly. This rebellion happened very strangely. A county guard, with him who claimed to be the first son of Sishui Prefecture My son, however, was able to raise hundreds of dead men, and it was unknown to the officials in the state. These dead men became bandits under the name of bandits and tyrants, and then the more they suppressed the population, money and food, the more armor and weapons they had."

"The timing of this person is also very good. It just happened that the concubine Defei arrived, and the entire Sishui prefecture dignitaries gathered in the small Jiang'an County, and then the Wudang army escorting the concubine Defei disappeared due to various reasons. Going out, there are only less than [-] Wudang soldiers left behind. They have to take on the important task of protecting the dignitaries and people of the state and resisting the rebels at the same time when the city defense is almost better than nothing. The timing is very particular , Is the deployment of forces from all parties really something that a small sheriff can do?"

Qin Sichao directly interrupted, "How many of you here don't know what you said? If you continue to say such empty words without proof, and arbitrarily pin such crimes of family raiding and extermination on my head, I will punish you You are welcome!"

"I know you're in a hurry, but wait a minute, I'll clear things up for you."

Xia Jingyun's face turned cold, "In Sishui Prefecture back then, there were people from all walks of life, good and evil mixed together, do you remember the owner of the Fenghe Pavilion just now?"

"At the beginning, many brothels in Zhongjing City sent some girls to Sishui Prefecture with the team, hoping to make a fortune when all parties gathered in Sishui Prefecture. But Sishui Prefecture is really remote, and it is also difficult for Zhongjing City It's not a big deal. The real big brothels in Zhongjing City are still not very interested. After all, they can't make enough money in Zhongjing City. Only this Fenghe Pavilion has sent out the oiran who is about to become the number one in the pavilion. Knowing After learning about the background of the Fenghe Pavilion, this matter became intriguing."

"What's even more intriguing is that there were 18 people in the team that arrived at Fenghe Pavilion at the beginning, but when they finally returned, there were only 12 people. Six people just disappeared out of thin air. I don't know if they died in Sishui Prefecture Among the rebellious army, they still secretly came to Sishui Prefecture to do something under the banner of the team."

"What's more interesting is that in the rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, the chief villain, the father and son of the Zheng family, has already put down the law, and the rest have been punished as they should. The master who was running around in series has disappeared, no one is alive, no corpse is dead."

"The most interesting thing is that this missing master reappeared during the civil strife in Yunmeng Su family a few months after the rebellion in Sishui prefecture. After failing to return home, he disappeared again. Can you guys guess where this person is now?"

"If the owner of the Fenghe Pavilion is indeed our Mr. Qin, then who is behind this master?"

Qin Sichao said angrily: "It's pure speculation, it's nonsense."

Xia Jingyun didn't argue, but nodded, "It's true that there is no sufficient evidence, but I think the existing evidence alone is enough for Yousi to investigate, we can't just let ordinary people do all the work, right? ?”

Seeing that Xia Jingyun's words didn't seem so convincing, the old Patriarch Qin sent a spiritual assist at this time, and suddenly asked, "Master Xia, according to your words, this Xiangfu provoked a rebellion in Sishui Prefecture, and then provoked the rebellion in Sishui Prefecture." The infighting in Yunmengsu's family started, and then they plotted against my Qin family, it's understandable to plot against my Qin family, but what were they planning for the previous two incidents?"

Xia Jingyun secretly praised the old fox, and said, "It's very simple, that is, the Qin family is preparing for troubled times!"

"Everyone may wish to think about it. If the rebellion has been completed, and the rebels really do what they want to kidnap the dignitaries in the state, occupy the state city, and just sit there, will the court have to send troops to suppress the bandits?"

One person couldn't help but said: "Then the Qin family has nothing to lose?"

The top dignitaries are silent, because they have already thought of the problem.

Xia Jingyun explained: "The Wudang Army personally escorted the formation, causing the rebellion to grow, and even suspected of indulgence. Perhaps no soldiers from the Wudang Army or the entire military god line will be sent. On the honorable side, because the Lu family The second son's dereliction of duty led to the fall of the state city, the Lu family was overwhelmed with self-care, and the chances of being honored were much smaller. Under such circumstances, the number of people who can be sent is extremely limited, and many of these people are inextricably linked with the prime minister. Presumably, the young man in white from Xiangfu will join the army in the name of generously serving the country. At that time, the sky will be high and the emperor will be far away, suppressing bandits and training soldiers, and the more he suppresses, the stronger he will be. Didn’t they all fall into the hands of the Prime Minister? In a chaotic world, a land with a separate regime, a strong army in hand, countless money, food and armor, isn’t this a huge asset?”

Someone suddenly exclaimed, "I remember going to Xia, Mr. Qin did go to the army for training."

"The Su family understands better. The Su family and the Prime Minister's Mansion originally had a grudge. The Su family has deep roots in Yunmeng Prefecture. There are thousands of strong and strong people in Sujiawu. They farm, study and practice martial arts on weekdays. A vulgar elite soldier. If the power of the Su family is seized, it can control the way out of Sishui Prefecture to the east, and control the counties in the lower reaches of the river. Make a sudden change and separate yourself from this place."

"As for the Qin family, it's just the next best choice after two failed attempts."

"All of this can be done with the strength of the Xiangfu."

Everyone fell silent after listening, because Xia Jingyun's words were indeed able to convince them, and they were also logical enough.

What makes them feel ironic and horrifying is that the head of all the officials, the right-hand man of the imperial power, is actually the first person to plan the layout for the troubled times.

Qin Sichao quietly listened to Xia Jingyun's words, but suddenly laughed, and then immediately applauded, "Good story, Mr. Xia is indeed a recognized talented person, and this story makes my heart quite moved."

"However, a story is a story, and I can make up a similar story for you."

He looked at the crowd, "The matter of Concubine De's family visit was determined by the central government several months in advance. Concubine De's ambitions were quite high, so she began to plan at that time, secretly sending her confidantes to link up with the Zheng family's father and son in Sishui Prefecture, pretending to encourage them to rebel, At the same time, rumors were released, and the brothers and sisters of Concubine Shu, who were enemies with her, took the bait to deal with her. When she arrived in Sishui Prefecture, everything happened as planned, and she also took the initiative to create opportunities for the rebellion. He was easily defeated by Concubine De, and at the same time won the reputation of being a pro-addiction stone, calm and composed, and after returning to Beijing, he won the appreciation of His Majesty and the approval of all officials."

"How can our concubine Defei be satisfied? Immediately, she sent her brother-in-law, whom she only met by accident, but who she recognized strangely, to go out of Yunmengzhou to the Su family. She also sent a group of people from the capital to help him. After a lot of trouble, Mr. Xia not only personally provoked the Su family's civil strife, but also pretended to help put it down. Through such means, he won the favor of the Su family's Dongting Pearl and became the Su family's prospective son-in-law. Yun That's how Mengsu's family got it."

"Thus, Concubine De took control of Sishui Prefecture and captured Yunmengsu's family at the same time. With the strength of the two states, once the troubled times break out, she and the King of Jiaodong County can rely on this to lead the situation."

"Think about it, why are these things so coincidental that they always happen in the place where Mr. Xia appears. Does it make sense that he bumps into them every time, or does it make sense that these things are planned by him?"

"And now, Duke Douying and Shangshu Baishi have also set their sights on the wealthy Qin family. They didn't hesitate to use bitter tricks and shot themselves with an arrow. Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Black Ice Terrace and the Ministry of Punishment did not agree. The real culprit can't be found. It's a pity that there are more people plotting against the Qin family, so I let me do it first."

He looked at Xia Jingyun, "Master Xia, how is it? Is my story okay?"

Xia Jingyun looked at Qin Sichao and felt solemn in his heart.

He knew that people like Qin Sichao would not be as easy to deal with as idiots like Zheng Tianyu and Qin Yuwen, but he really didn't expect that the other party could immediately organize such a precise and sharp counterattack.

These words, falling into His Majesty's ears, will inevitably give rise to a lot of fear.

However, he also has his advantages.

He also calmly nodded and said: "The story is very good, since it is like this, why don't you ask Heibingtai and the Criminal Department to check and see which story is true."

It is true that anyone can make up stories, but after investigation, there is only one truth.

And of course he has the confidence that he won't be the one to find out.

"absurd!"

A cold shout interrupted Xia Jingyun's plan.

Xia Jingyun followed the prestige and saw a man walking into the hall, his expression changed slightly.

And everyone also saw the person coming, and almost everyone outside the hall stood up and saluted respectfully.

"I've seen Prime Minister Qin."

Even in the hall, the expressions of everyone who had already stood at the top of Da Xia Xia immediately became a little more unnatural.

Because, the person who came here is the prime minister who has been in power for more than ten years, the head of all officials, and the prime minister who has won His Majesty's trust, Qin Weizhong.

Xia Jingyun's attack actually brought this person out.

Qin Xiang calmly walked up to Xia Jingyun, but his voice was not angry and serious, "Who ordered you to do this?"

Facing this Prime Minister, even someone like Xia Jingyun, who has even seen the scenes where the president of the beautiful country has his mind blown, can't help but feel a little dry in his throat, and said in a weak voice: "No one instructed me, I'm just revealing the truth. "

Qin Xiang said coldly: "Do you know what crime is for slandering an important minister in the court?"

Xia Jingyun was about to speak when he suddenly realized that he couldn't follow the rhythm of the other party, so he forcibly collected his mind, "Where did Prime Minister Qin say this? I am a citizen of the country and a son, and I have been repeatedly accepted by the emperor." Well, since he has the responsibility of prosecuting lawlessness and safeguarding the imperial power, Prime Minister Qin puts on a label of slandering the important ministers of the court, why? The important ministers of the court will not break the law? Then throughout the ages, so many important ministers and high officials who committed serious crimes Where did it come from?"

"Bastard!"

Qin Weizhong's tone sank, "Words and rumors, that is the exclusive power bestowed by the imperial power on the censor! We are in charge of the center, share the worries for the king, and eliminate the accumulated evils. Who can not offend a group of people? If anyone can be like you, then you can Such crimes willfully frame important officials in the court, and who will concentrate on their affairs, will there be a day of stability in this court?"

He looked up at the prince, "Prince, you are the crown prince of a country, you should know the root of the court, today you are presiding over the murder of the grandson of Duke Fengyang, you are in control of every situation, why did such a thing happen?" , so laissez-faire, do you have any understanding of the court affairs in your heart?"

Everyone looked at Qin Xiang's majestic and angry reprimand, and felt a chill in their hearts.

It is rare to see this generation of power ministers get so angry, it seems that they are really angry.

Being reprimanded face-to-face, the crown prince was also Weiwei, he didn't dare to argue, so he had no choice but to bow his hands, "Prince Qin calm down."

"Quiet your anger?"

Qin Xiang snorted coldly, "This is a serious crime of copying one's family and destroying one's family. Who dares to allow others to slander you like this! How can His Majesty appease my anger when I appease my anger? The word spreads like gold, and even the false ones become true." That’s right, how do we deal with the truth?”

He looked at Xia Jingyun, "You are so cruel at such a young age, and your methods are so vicious! Concubine De taught my younger brother well!"

Seeing Qin Xiang's undisguised anger and hostility, everyone knew in their hearts that Qin Xiang would never die with him!

As long as Qin Xiang can pass this test, he will do his best to suppress Xia Jingyun and Concubine De.

The old head of the Qin family sighed secretly, after all, he still underestimated Qin Xiang's strength.

As long as today's muddle through, and turn around and sweep the head and tail, who can catch their clues?What I said today is really just speculation.

Xia Jingyun also regained his composure by this time, and said: "I would like to ask Prime Minister Qin, such a high position and weight, and so much trust in His Majesty, is this how you repay His Majesty and the country? As a prime minister of a country, no Si leads all the officials to clear up the evils of the country and strive for the peace of the country and the people. Instead, it eliminates dissidents and forms a party. Not only that, but also hides ambitions, plots chaos, and secretly accumulates strength in order to rise in troubled times. What you think is my Daxia The prime minister of the dynasty, or the great ancestor of the new dynasty in the future?!"

The entire arena was chaotic in an instant, and everyone opened their mouths slightly, unable to close them for a long time.

These words are really meeting Qin Xiang's swordsmen directly, leaving no room for them!

What is immortality!This is called immortality!

Either you die or I die!
Everyone looked at Xia Jingyun who stood proudly in the field in shock, and was amazed at his audacity.

Qin Xiang smiled angrily, "Okay, very good! The truth must not tolerate you for such remarks! Minister of the Ministry of Punishments, this person insulted the court officials and disturbed the hearts of the people in the court. Disciplinary office!"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice glanced at the British Duke, who hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment gave his heart a sigh of relief, "Come here! Put Xia Jingyun in prison pending trial!"

The sound of the slap of the gavel had dissipated, but the criminal officials who were supposed to come flooding in from the door did not appear.

While everyone was in amazement, a bright yellow came into their eyes from behind the screen wall.

After a sound of pushing and pulling the seats, everyone stood up in panic and panic, and saluted respectfully, "Minister/Weichen/Erchen greets Your Majesty/Father!"

"Be flat."

Emperor Chongning walked in slowly, looked at Qin Xiang with a smile, "Weizhong, what's the matter? Why are you so angry?"

　Depending on the situation, the next chapter will be difficult to write. I don’t know if I can write it. Don’t wait.
