Chapter 850: The Fox Borrows the Power of the Tiger
After asking Lu Yang to leave, Xu Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, this kid would have insisted on asking the Ministry of Justice to punish the entire clan of the Fourth Prince, which would have made it difficult to wrap up the rest.
But then another problem came into view. The evidence of the Fourth Prince's rebellion was solid, but he could not directly judge the Fourth Prince. He could not handle such a big thing.
"Sir, there are people above you." The Minister of Justice saw that his superior was confused and reminded him kindly.
Xu Xin suddenly realized.
Yes, I am just a Minister of Justice, a third-rank official. This matter of rebellion should be handled by His Majesty.
…
After Jiang Qun took the throne, he showed extraordinary political ability and handled various political affairs just as well as Emperor Xia. Otherwise, Emperor Xia would not have been at ease to temporarily entrust his position to him.
"At the beginning, my father always said how troublesome it was to handle national affairs. It seems that it is not very difficult to deal with various forces and balance interests."
Jiang Qun put a reviewed memorial on the half-person-high pile of memorials.
The only problem was that he remembered that there were not so many memorials before.
"Master Buyu succeeded in overcoming the tribulation, and a large number of people went into seclusion." Jiang Qun understood the reason and sighed in his heart.
It was just that the number was a little more, and it was not beyond his ability.
"Let me see this memorial. Lord Xu has temporarily come out of seclusion. What happened... Fourth brother rebelled, Lu Yang reported Fourth brother, and asked to kill all nine clans?!"
Jiang Qun's hands trembled after reading it briefly.
I take back what I said just now, Dad, do you usually deal with such things?
As he read the memorial carefully, he became more and more angry, and finally snorted coldly and slapped the table.
"Good fourth brother, you dare to kill even me, you are really capable!"
He replied in the memorial, asking the Ministry of Justice to call several great men in the court who have crossed the tribulation period to catch all the brothers of Fourth Brother in one fell swoop!
As for the matter of killing nine clans, it is easy to deal with.
"Isn't it enough if I pardon myself?"
...
The purge of the Fourth Prince's forces soon began. The people on the Fourth Prince's side were arrested without even knowing what was going on.
Didn't Lu Yang help the Fourth Prince seek external help and get rid of the first three princes? How come his side was arrested?
What happened?
The Fourth Prince's forces were not small. During the arrest, they tried to resist and triggered many battles.
But with several old ministers in the Tribulation Period, their resistance was ineffective.
The fall of the Fourth Prince shocked all forces in the Imperial City. Seeing that Emperor Xia was about to die, all forces had their own little calculations and wanted to profit from it, but the court temporarily frightened them with a thunderous force.
The Second Prince looked at the information in disbelief. It had only been a few days, and the Fourth Brother was killed by Lu Yang.
"Does he want to use this to warn everyone not to try to win over him to seize the throne?"
The Second Prince shuddered. He must not be an enemy of this person!
The fifth prince, who originally wanted to win over Lu Yang, settled down and didn't dare to make any plans against Lu Yang. The subsequent series of winning plans were scrapped.
…
After hearing that the fourth prince's official residence was sealed, the mastermind Immortal Fairy was happily waiting for the Ministry of Justice to bring people to the palace to search his house.
"As far as I know, according to the laws of Daxia, the emperor has the power of pardon. I'm afraid it's impossible to punish the nine clans through the matter of the fourth prince." Emperor Xia saw that Lu Yang was always talking about when the Ministry of Justice would search his house. His eyes were twitching, so he had to come out to explain and asked Lu Yang to stop talking.
"There is such a rule?" Immortal Fairy really didn't know. Even with her wisdom, she couldn't come up with a perfect plan to usurp the throne.
"It seems that the Jiang family is far-sighted. When they stipulated the right of pardon, they thought of what happened today!" Immortal Fairy frowned. The Jiang family could actually formulate such a thorough law. This level of meticulousness is not inferior to the second in command, only a little worse than her.
Emperor Xia: "..."
I think when the pardon power was stipulated, no one should have thought of what happened today.
"I think you are also a talent. Do you want to join me?"
The Immortal Fairy thinks Xia Tian is quick-witted and can be appointed as prime minister after the establishment of the Soybean Dynasty.
Emperor Xia didn't know that he had been demoted to the future prime minister. He just heard that Lu Yang was a contemporary genius, often behaved differently from ordinary people, and there were always strange things happening around him.
He was dying soon, so he might as well witness the growth of a future genius with his own eyes, and reveal his identity at a critical moment, which would be worth the trip.
"Okay." Emperor Xia agreed happily.
...
"He is Lu Yang!" In the dark, several pairs of green eyes were staring at Lu Yang.
They were the brothers of the fourth prince, who broke through the heavy siege, escaped, and were temporarily free from prison.
But this was only temporary. Now that the imperial city was blocked, they could not escape anyway, and it was only a matter of time before they were caught.
I'm not afraid of being caught, but Lu Yang, the traitor, must die!
Gongsun Jiu, who possesses the speed technique, Tang Feng, who is a master of assassination, and Tang Feng, who is a master of poison... These are the brothers that the fourth prince is proud of. They have the ability to kill the first three princes. If they take action, Lu Yang, who is only in the Nascent Soul stage, will not be able to resist at all!
"Do it!"
Gongsun Jiu used his spiritual sense to transmit the sound and shouted loudly. The brothers moved at the sound, like the soul-collecting messengers from the Netherworld. If they take action, they will die!
As soon as they left the ground, they sensed several terrifying pressures appearing, which fixed them tightly.
Plop.
They couldn't bear the pressure and fell to their knees with panic on their faces.
The Tribulation Stage, and more than one Tribulation Stage had taken action against them!
Even if the Ministry of Punishment inspected the fourth prince's official residence, there wouldn't be so much time to take action during the Tribulation Period!
What is going on? How come there are so many great powers in the Tribulation Stage protecting Lu Yang!
Is it possible that Lu Yang has even calculated this? ?
An old man walked out of the alley carrying a pole, shouting "Grind the scissors" from time to time.
The old man stood in front of Gongsun Jiu with a look of disdain on his face.
"Dare to take action against His Majesty, I am simply tired of living."
Gongsun Jiu and others looked confused, Your Majesty? What, Your Majesty?
Emperor Xia's safety was closely related. Naturally, it was impossible for him to leave the palace alone during his trip. He would have been followed and secretly protected by palace masters.
Even if Gongsun Jiu and others' target is Lu Yang, there is still the possibility of accidentally injuring His Majesty, so they must not be allowed to do it.
In the spiritual space, Lu Yang analyzed the current situation to the Immortal Fairy.
"Your Majesty, if you report the Fourth Prince, you may be retaliated by the Fourth Prince's remnants in the future, so be careful."
Lu Yang is not worried about the immortal fairy's safety, he is worried about his own body.
His little arms and legs can't stand the torment of the immortal fairy.
The Immortal Fairy was very touched. She didn't expect Xiaoyangzi to care about her so much. She comforted her and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. I have always been very lucky and will not be in danger."
