Invincible from the start

Chapter 381
After Fei Zhong left the palace, he returned to the mansion. There were many people in the court who wanted to see him and had been waiting for him to come back. These people had discussed it and asked Fei Zhong to represent him, and opposed His Royal Highness Zisu's succession, and the woman ascended the throne. The throne, since ancient times, this has never happened, it is against the law of nature, and they are very dissatisfied.

However, after Fei Zhong returned, he returned home directly after leaving the palace, and then chose to close the gate of the house without seeing anyone.

The courtiers couldn't understand it, didn't understand it, and finally had no choice but to retreat, planning to come to Fei Zhong together next time, and some even went to Youhun's mansion, which had the best relationship with Fei Zhong, and they planned to Pull in one of the two most powerful courtiers in the court to oppose it together.

Before they could go back, before they had time to reach You Hun's mansion, there were already imperial guards waiting for them on the way.

When they first saw the Imperial Forest Army, they didn't realize it, and thought they were arresting some criminals, but when the Imperial Forest Army surrounded them and put shackles on them, they realized that the Imperial Forest Army came to arrest them. human...

"It's unreasonable, do you know what you are doing!"

If everyone here gathers the power in their hands, it will be an existence that can shake the entire court. They are usually high above, even if they face the Imperial Forest Army, they don’t feel much. Now, the Imperial Forest Army dares to arrest them. They really didn't expect it.

The leading captain of the Royal Forest Army didn't pay attention to the words of these courtiers, but responded indifferently: "Our Imperial Forest Army only does things according to the king's orders. If you have any opinions, you can tell the king someday and take them away."

After the captain finished speaking, he stopped talking nonsense and waved his hand. The guards of the Imperial Forest Army behind him immediately rushed forward to take the courtiers away. They ignored their abuse and turned a deaf ear to it along the way.

But soon, their cursing stopped, because they discovered something even more terrifying, that is, their house was ransacked...

It's nothing to steal the house, the big deal is some gold and silver property, and there are ways to get it back in the future. What really scares them is that their wives, children, and relatives have all been arrested. They didn't even hide them when they were arrested, just in front of them. In front of him, he was arrested aboveboard.

All the children of the courtiers who were ransacked and arrested were cursing. It was only when they came out and saw that their master was also handcuffed with chains that they panicked and realized that something was wrong. It was not an easy matter.

The noisy scene just now quieted down instantly. Everyone looked at each other and fell silent. Almost no one spoke. Everyone in the court understands a truth. When you are arrested, if you don’t understand the reason, it’s better to keep your words down , Listen more and watch more, at this time, the more you talk, the more mistakes you make, and the more people will naturally catch you.

This is often the case. When you encounter something you don't understand, the best choice is to remain silent. Don't be smart and self-righteous.

The family members of the courtiers couldn't guess the reason, but the courtiers themselves had some guesses in their hearts.

In the case of being ransacked, either you have offended too many people in the court, and all the ministers jointly impeached you, or it is treason.

But none of these two things was present, so they immediately thought, might it have something to do with His Royal Highness Zisu's affairs?

Thinking that Fei Zhong hadn't seen them since he came out, and his attitude was indifferent, they affirmed their suspicion even more. His king was paving the way for Zisu...

And they are the stepping stones on the paved road.

After thinking it over, they felt sad in their hearts. They were dedicated to serving the country, and never did anything wrong to the big merchants. In the end, they were like those abandoned children, throwing away as soon as they said, without thinking about old feelings.

That's right, since ancient times, which royal family has talked about old love, and whoever talks about it will not live long now.

As a result, a group of courtiers were imprisoned in a cell in a mighty manner in front of the public.

With so many pairs of eyes watching, soon, this matter spread throughout the world, and all the officials in the world trembled.

Some representatives of the military even started to move a little bit. They were afraid that this matter would be their turn, but just as they thought about it, they found that there were some strange figures in the army they were in. , these people have a lot of background in terms of their aura, all of them have profound cultivation bases, are graceful and luxurious, and seem to come from the royal enshrinement pavilion?
This half-covered attitude seems to tell them that you are always under control and surveillance, so be honest.

After some officials and military representatives from other places discovered this anomaly, under the suggestion of their staff, they wrote letters to express their support for the king's decision, and agreed to establish His Royal Highness Zisu as emperor.

This matter was not blocked, and it spread quickly. Officials from all over Dashang and various states seemed to express their political correctness, and they wrote letters to express their support. What's more, they directly pulled His Royal Highness Zisu out for a while to praise, no matter whether it was there or not. , express your mind first.

This matter went on for several days, and when the papers played in various places were almost ready, Di Xin came out and said a word: "I haven't even reached the local area, and I haven't told you about the girl, but you people are really I know very quickly, it seems that there are many spies in my city of Chaoge? Are you watching Gu all day long? What exactly are you trying to do? Do you want to murder Gu?"

For Di Xin's unified reply, the people below didn't expect it, and their hearts trembled. Now that I think about it carefully, they did make a mistake. This is invisibly telling the king that they are always staring at Chaoge. Every move of the city, as a subject, staring at the palace, no matter what they say, they can put the hat of murdering the king on their heads.

Fortunately, there were a lot of people who played this time. After they reacted, they played the pleading form again.

This is a formality, the law does not blame the crowd, so many people invited to play at the same time, it is just a formality, anyway, it is impossible for Di Xin to dismiss them all.

Indeed, just as they thought, Di Xin never thought of dismissing so many people and courtiers at one time. If they were dismissed at once, it would be impossible for this big business to operate in a short time.

and so……

Di Xin was in the study room, and the memorials on the jade case were piled up like a mountain. He randomly picked out the basics from the thick pile of memorials that were one foot high. After reading the same words above, he threw them aside and called out at the same time. More than a dozen young eunuchs said to them: "You look for them alone, as long as you see these names, pick them all out."

As Di Xin spoke, he handed over a bamboo tube with the names of some officials written by himself.

About [-] or so names were written on the bamboo tube, at least all of them were officials of rank three or higher.

The little eunuchs didn't know what their king wanted to do, but they could feel the strong atmosphere, so they didn't dare to be careless, and they all searched carefully.

Soon, the names corresponding to Di Xin's list were found in this huge list, but two people were missing.

"It's clever." Seeing that there were no two people, Di Xin laughed.

Then he picked up the notebooks handed over by the little eunuch, and used a cinnabar pen to annotate them one by one, all agreed!

It is simply unprecedented to agree to the resignation requests of more than three ranks and more than 20 people at one time.

Something big is about to happen!
The little eunuchs all lowered their heads in fright and knelt down instantly.

Di Xin didn't care about the eunuchs kneeling on the ground, but just found two more copies of these memorials, and modified them at will, directly crossing out the original name and changing it to the two names that the little eunuchs hadn't found before. , Then put the memorial back again, and said to the eunuch below: "Send these memorials to the mansions of the people below, and say that the lonely king agrees to their resignation."

These 20 people have no faults on weekdays, can be regarded as capable ministers, and have some talents, but at this moment, what Di Xin values ​​is not talent, but the stability of the country.

These people were more or less related to some princes in the palace before. This is not what Emperor Xin saw. He can ignore officials below the third rank. After all, the impact on the government will not be too great, but those above the third rank , he had to think carefully.

These people were the result of his careful consideration, but it just so happened that they resigned on their own initiative, and Di Xin was just pushing things along.

The eunuchs had no ink marks, so they quickly took all these memorials down and sent them to the officials' homes. Some spies at the palace wanted to inquire about the situation, but at this time, how could the eunuchs dare to say a word, and they all pretended not to know each other. , They all completed their tasks honestly.

As a result, these officials soon received the annotated memorial. When they saw the red mark on it and the seal of Emperor Xin on it, they were so depressed that they almost didn't curse...

They have been officials for many years, and they are all good people. They don't understand what Di Xin is playing.

All the previous words and everything were premeditated. It's ridiculous that they usually claim to be smart, but they were all deceived at this time!

But the matter has come to this point, the memorial they personally handed over cannot be denied, if they dare to cheat at this time, I am afraid that the imperial forest army will be waiting for them.

At the same time, the two officials who didn't submit the memorial also received the memorial. At first, they couldn't figure out why it was passed to them since they hadn't submitted it.

After they opened it, they saw the content on it, as well as the traces of Dixin's modification, which was very ironic and conspicuous, and they were so angry that they trembled all over.

However, they didn't show any dissatisfaction, they just accepted it honestly and calmly.

This is not their memorial, it must be theirs at this time.

On this day, more than 20 officials of the third rank and above of Dashang retired from their old age and returned home at the same time, which shocked the government and the public!

If this happened in normal times, the whole world would be discussing it, but at this time, they were even more shocked by another thing, that is, at the same time as these officials all retired and returned to their hometowns, Di Xin also announced the succession of Zisu. The matter, Zisu's enthronement ceremony, is just three days later.

Over the years since Dashang, the first female emperor is about to be born, and the world is buzzing!
……

In Chaoge City, leaning against a remote corner, in the bustling Chaoge City, this corner seems a bit deserted on weekdays, and the people living in it are all common people, and the houses and locations are not very good, so they won't attract too much attention.

Ji Long, Jiang Ziya, and Pei Yan lived here temporarily.

The three of them have great ambitions. Ji Long wants to rebuild the glory of their ancestors and re-establish the Great Zhou Kingdom here.

Jiang Ziya and Pei Yan wanted to help Mingzhu and prove their worth.

The two of them have one thing in common, that is, they survived under the invitation of Ji An, the head of the Ji family, and they are probably the only two of them in this world...

The three of them sat around the table, and there was a pot of tea on it. The tea was boiling, and Pei Yan was responsible for refilling the tea and pouring the water.

Ji Long sat in the middle. Although he had doubts about these two last time, there was no one around him for the time being. He didn't show any superfluous thoughts for the time being, and he was very calm recently. He was afraid that if these two people really had some evil intentions, If you turn your face at this time, it will be too bad for yourself.

Jiang Ziya sat beside him, glanced at Ji Long, and said, "Long Er, now Di Xin dismisses twenty courtiers at the same time, and in the entire Chaoge City, many courtiers are imprisoned, and even their families and clansmen are imprisoned. None of our relatives survived the disaster. What Di Xin did was digging his own grave. This is also our opportunity.

Next, we have to find a way to contact these dismissed courtiers. They must be unwilling to be dismissed for no reason. We can find a way to win them over. They have been officials for many years and are very familiar with the inside of Dashang. Great help, we must strive for it. "

Ji Long frowned slightly when he heard Jiang Ziya call himself Longer. He didn't like this name, and he felt a little dissatisfied. He is now the head of the Ji clan, so he should call himself the head of the family. Jiang Ziya should let him out by himself. Yes, now he is so disrespectful to himself as an example of meritorious deeds, will it be even more excessive when he makes meritorious deeds in the future?
Or, this Jiang Ziya just wanted to treat himself as a pawn from the beginning to the end, but he actually had another purpose?Because he regards himself as a pawn, he speaks without respect. I don't know what plan he has in mind?
Pei Yan on the side has been staring at Ji Long's color, and has survived Ji An's investigation. He has some shadows about the people in power of the Ji family, especially after what happened last time, he feels that Ji Long is starting to get worse. He looks more and more like his grandfather Ji An, but fortunately, I discovered it in time last time, and I stopped it in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

Ji Long sensed that Pei Yan was looking at him, so he secretly took a look, seeing Pei Yan's thoughtful expression, he couldn't help but jump in his heart.

Why is Pei Yan thinking?Could it be that he has noticed some flaws in himself just now?Then if he notices it and knows that he has discovered that they treat him as a pawn, will they act first?What is the purpose of him and Jiang Ziya...

Alas, I regret letting Jiang Ziya and Pei Yan go...
