back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 552
Xu Jingchun calmly said: "As far as I know, Taipingfang and Yanshoufang are only one street away. If there is a secret passage, it will only take half a year. Qin Shangshu, am I right?"

Qin Yikang said coldly: "If you want to commit a crime, why don't you have excuses?"

Hearing the fierce debate between the two, both civil and military officials in the court were stunned.Why talk about the New Deal so well, and then bring up the human trafficking case?What's even more amazing is that now that Xu Jingchun is intentionally or unintentionally pouring dirty water on Qin Yikang, is the Secretary of the Ministry of War innocent, or is there a stain in the first place?For a moment, the ministers were like headless chickens, unable to tell the difference.

If Lu Chengqi hadn't learned the truth in advance, he might have been deceived by Qin Yikang as well.This old boy's psychological quality is really strong, in the face of intentional or unintentional testimony, he can organize a verbal counterattack in an orderly manner without any confusion.Lu Chengqi also suffered, if he directly ordered to search his family, he might be criticized by the world.If no one is caught, or the wrong person is caught, the oolong will be even bigger.

"I always discuss things on a case-by-case basis, and I don't target anyone. It's just that Qin Shangshu's behavior is suspicious, so I have doubts. Since Qin Shangshu wants to prove his innocence, why not meet him in the palace? To tell you the truth, there are people in the supervisory department who are good at Those who listened to the ground have clearly discovered the secret passage in the palace, which extends to the west. Although Yanshoufang is separated from Taipingfang by a street, it is only a hundred feet away, and it happens to be on the west side of Taipingfang. Is it a coincidence?"

Xu Jingchun stared at Qin Yikang's face, and told the truth of the matter coldly.In this way, the situation is very unfavorable for Qin Yikang.

"If you want to add a crime, why bother?"

Qin Yikang said the same thing twice.The word count is the same, but the context is completely different.The previous sentence was full of confidence; the current sentence is not so confident, and Lu Chengqi can barely hear it clearly.

As soon as Xu Jingchun said this, the civil and military discussions of the Manchu Dynasty began, and an honest general said: "Qin Shangshu, since you are innocent, why don't you ask the Supervision Department to search? Anyway, it is the Supervision Department who has a bad reputation. , not Your Majesty..."

Lu Chengqi really wanted to grab this general and give him a few slaps: "What nonsense are you talking about, and it's so good!" One of the purposes of his establishment of the Supervision Department was to take the blame for him.Many things that the emperor wanted to do but couldn't do had to be done by the Supervision Department.Just now, Qin Yikang almost forgot about this, but now he remembered, isn't the Supervision Department a good candidate for the scapegoat!

Just as he was about to make his statement, a gray-bearded minister came out with his wat in his hand and said, "Qizou Your Majesty!"

Lu Chengqi's words were choked back, and he recognized this person as Wen Yanbo, a political adviser, but what kind of good things can this minister who specializes in cutting corners say at this moment?I really want to say that I am not sure, but after all, I have to take into account the etiquette of the monarch and his ministers, so I frowned and said: "Quite play!"

Wen Yanbo was a veteran of the three dynasties, and Wen Yanbo was a Jinshi in the ninth year of Tiansheng.He has successively served as the censor in the palace and the deputy envoy of Shulu Transshipment.During the Yuanshou period, he served as the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council and the Minister of Tongping Zhangshi.Because of his upright nature, most of them are direct admonitions, which are disliked by powerful officials, and his official position can only be promoted to participate in political affairs.There are usually several people in Dashun who are involved in political affairs, such as Zeng Gongliang and Zeng Mingzhong, who are involved in political affairs, regardless of priority.As for the status, it is equivalent to the deputy prime minister.It's just that after Lu Chengqi abolished the prime minister and set up a cabinet, the position of the deputy prime minister who was in charge of political affairs fell again and again, almost equivalent to the chief officials of the six ministries.

"I think it's a good thing for Director Xu to share His Majesty's worries."

After listening to half a sentence, Lu Chengqi knew that Wen Yanbo still had the second half. "But..." Sure enough!Lu Chengqi had expected it a long time ago, Wen Yanbo changed the subject, and said: "There is no real evidence, only a secret passage and a confession, and it is not the Mingjun who ordered the house to be raided. I have a plan to get the best of both worlds!"

Lu Chengqi didn't know that Wen Yanbo was also a master of both civil and military skills in official history, and he had once put down a rebellion.At this moment, I heard him speak like a military adviser, which was a little funny, and immediately said: "What clever plan does Wen Qing have, let me hear it?"

Wen Yanbo held the imperial wat and said with a smile, "Why doesn't your majesty issue an order to expropriate the palace?"

"requisition?"

Before Lu Chengqi understood it, the ministers started discussing it.This is indeed a clever plan to expropriate the palace and give market price compensation.First of all, this is the emperor's will, and the excuse is to reward the ministers. Who in the world can resist?Secondly, he compensated the market price, so that he could not let go of the matter; thirdly, he could investigate the case openly, even if he found nothing, he still had the income of a mansion.This is a plan that kills three birds with one stone, and Lu Chengqi, who had reacted directly, looked at Wen Yanbo with admiration: "This old man Wen, his brains turn around quite quickly! He really answered that sentence, treacherous ministers are treacherous, so loyal ministers will You have to be more treacherous than treacherous officials to control them!"

Qin Yikang thought that Wen Yanbo was going to speak for him, and was full of anticipation!Unexpectedly, Wen Yanbo was helping the little emperor to give advice, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth, wishing to tear Wen Yanbo apart.

Lu Chengqi deliberately ignored Qin Yikang, and said in a loud voice: "Wen Qing's plan is brilliant! What is the order of the Hanlin scholar? The Supervision Department of the proposed order complied, and searched the inside and outside of the palace, and did not let any suspicious persons go! This matter should be done sooner rather than later, I We must hear the result during this regular court!"

Ni Gang, a scholar of the Hanlin Academy, hurriedly came out with his wat in his hand and said, "Your minister obeys the order!" After that, he bowed and retreated, planning to go to the side hall to fetch the four treasures of the study to make up the imperial edict.

Before Ni Gang had time to exit the Daqing Hall, he heard a loud shout: "Thief, dare!"

Before Ni Gang could react to what happened, he was pushed out and fell to the ground.Poor Ni Gang is already over 50 years old, with an old bone, how can he bear this crime?Fortunately, the hall was covered with thick Shu brocade, Ni was not seriously injured just now, but he was still crying in pain.

At this moment, the Daqing Palace was already in chaos.Lu Chengqi saw it clearly, Qin Yikang, Minister of War, actually wanted to give Ni Gang a slap!
Fortunately, Xu Jingchun had been paying attention to Qin Yikang's movements, and as soon as he made a move, Xu Jingchun stepped forward to hold him back.But now it seems that Xu Jingchun is not Qin Yikang's opponent, so Lu Chengqi can't figure it out. How can a minister of the Ministry of War, who was originally a civilian, have good martial arts?Thinking that Xu Jingchun once said that this person was from a military background, Lu Chengqi understood it.

Before a thought could be resolved, a black figure suddenly flew in front of the dragon chair, and fell to the ground with a "plop", splashing blood.Lu Chengqi only felt a slight heat on his face, and when he touched it, it turned out to be bright red blood!

Still in shock, Lu Chengqi took a closer look, the person who fell in front of the dragon chair, who wasn't Xu Jingchun?
hiss……"

Lu Chengqi gasped, why is Qin Yikang's martial arts so high?
