The Emperor of Da Qi's problem was too serious.
He directly defined Cui Ju's assassination as the beginning of a plot to usurp the throne!
If things were to unfold in such a way, there would be heads rolling and wailing everywhere.
From the Political Affairs Hall to the people who were on the list of the Yellow River Meeting, to Cui Ju's promotion in the military, to the people he met and befriended …
How big of a net was this? How many people were involved in this?
Who wouldn't be afraid?
The wrath of the Emperor would cause millions of corpses and thousands of miles of blood.
Who would dare to touch it?
At this moment, ordinary people had no right to speak.
Those who had the right to speak, such as the Crown Prince, the Palace Masters, and even the Prime Minister Jiang Rumo … couldn't speak.
Because … if it were to be compared to the past of Emperor Huai of Qin, then it was precisely these people who had the chance to become the Emperor of Qi!
The case of the dethroning of the Crown Prince involved many people. Many people who had experienced that catastrophe were still present.
The prestigious Junggenjia, the Old Duke of Chongxuan, who had taken off his armor a long time ago, put on his armor and went back to the battlefield. Two of his sons had died, and Chongxuan Chu Liang had broken the Chief Merit of Xia. Only then did he survive that catastrophe.
The son of the former Tianjiao Chongxuan, who had once been the Buddha of Tianjiao, was now in the audience.
The warning was not far away. Who wouldn't be afraid?
"Your Majesty! I have a memorial! "Jiang Wang, who was also kneeling on the ground, suddenly spoke.
The current Emperor of Qi was a hero of a generation. When he trusted someone, he could be gracious, but when he disliked someone … he could also be cold and ruthless.
Of course, Jiang Wang knew that it was dangerous to speak at this moment. As someone who had just been praised by the Emperor for his loyalty, he could have remained silent.
Things like usurping the throne should not be done by him, a man from the small Qingyang Town who did not have any foundation.
He was undoubtedly safe.
But as Chung Geng Sheng's best friend, he had a deep impression of the catastrophe 30 years ago.
He believed that Chung Geng Sheng had enough wisdom to face all the problems in the world. Only things that had happened could never be changed. Chung Geng Sheng's weakness and pain had only been exposed to him and Fourteen.
In the ruins of the Withered Yard, Chung Geng Sheng, who was always thick-skinned, said, "I feel very lonely."
The death of Chongxuan Fu Tu had caused great harm to Chung Geng Sheng that could never be erased.
As for the Junggenjia, compared to the "henchmen of the dethroned Crown Prince" whose entire family had been exterminated, it could be considered a very good outcome.
"Minister Jiang, please speak your mind," Emperor Da Qi's voice was emotionless, "Am I a monarch who cannot speak freely?"
In front of the Imperial Ancestral Temple, the kneeling civil and military officials, as well as the nobles and clansmen, did not dare to raise their heads to look, but they all pricked up their ears.
Chung Geng Sheng knelt on the ground. Even with his cultivation, he was sweating profusely. It was extremely difficult for him to endure!
Fourteen silently knelt beside him. From Chung Geng Sheng's reaction, he knew the danger at this moment.
Yan Fu resisted the urge to look left and right. Especially at this time, it was even more important not to contact too many people. The assassination had just happened, and it was the time when the Emperor was most vigilant against "forming cliques." However, if he did not borrow the influence of the Yan family in the Political Affairs Hall, how could he speak at this time?
Huaying Palace's Palace Master held her breath, thinking about what to say if the situation was not good. Would her father forgive Jiang Qingyang for her sake?
"Your Majesty," Jiang Wang raised his head, not daring to look directly at the Emperor's face. He only looked at the engravings on the Dan Emperor.
"I am young and weak. I am not familiar with history or books. I have traveled thousands of miles, seen the scenery of various countries, and seen thousands of people. I have learned a thing or two …
There are good and evil people, but it is difficult to distinguish between them. When people are mixed into one, loyalty and treachery will always exist. Those who have nothing will inevitably change; those who have power and influence will inevitably be arrogant. Those who have accumulated a few things to rely on will inevitably have thoughts that they should not have in the dead of night.
These are the thoughts of a person, and it is difficult to get rid of them.
As the saying goes, a gentleman does not talk about his heart. In terms of heart, there is no perfect person in the world.
However, our Da Qi is strong and powerful, and we have millions of soldiers and armor.
In our own territory, the Empire is the only ruler; in the Eastern Region, those who touch us will die! Looking at the whole world, there are only four or five families who can fight for it.
I think that whoever has this heart is not to be feared! Whoever has this power is the one who needs it! "
He placed his hands on the ground and touched the back of his hands with his forehead, "Lord Fu Qi is wise!"
"What a good 'whoever has this heart is not to be feared; whoever has this power is the one who needs it!'" The Emperor of Da Qi looked down at the kneeling young man in the square, "Then who do you think has this power?"
Jiang Wang said respectfully, "Your Majesty, you are the ruler who established Da Qi's hegemony. Da Qi is the country that dominates the Eastern Region. I think that today, there is no one in the Qi Region who has this power!
Therefore, when Cui Ju assassinated the ruler, I think it is not the same as the old Qin.
Cui Ju is just an inner residence, and his power is not even as strong as me! His assassination could not get close to the Emperor. Da Qi is vast, and there are countless people who are stronger than me.
If an ant fights to the death, what can it do to a tree that reaches the sky?
How can the hatred of a weak ant shake the foundation of Da Qi? However … "
The Emperor asked, "However?"
Jiang Wang took a deep breath and said, "If Your Majesty is angered by an ant, I think that ant … will have no regrets!"
Although the words that Cui Ju said to Jiang Wang before his death were purposely destroyed by Jiang Wang, the Emperor of Qi would not miss it.
Now that Jiang Wang said this, it meant that the Emperor of Qi's anger might be what the assassin wanted to see.
He thought that today's matter was not the start of a plot to usurp the throne. Within the Qi Region, no one had the right to change the dynasty. Therefore, the instigator of this matter could only come from outside the country.
Cui Ju's assassination obviously had a motive behind it. However, if the Emperor of Qi was angry and punished indiscriminately, the instigator would be happy to see it.
Jiang Wang said it tactfully, but no matter how tactful it was, it still offended the Emperor of Qi.
After all, the Emperor of Qi was a mighty ruler, and he, Jiang Wang, was just a man from Qingyang Town.
The Emperor of Qi did not comment and said lightly, "Jiang Qingyang, how dare you."
"Only under the rule of a wise ruler can there be a good official who dares to speak. Only when the Saint Lord is in power can there be a voice from the bottom of his heart. "Jiang Wang replied," My courage is given by Your Majesty. "
The Emperor of Da Qi was silent for a moment.
Therefore, the entire Imperial Ancestral Temple was silent for a moment.
"Where is the Patrol Commandant?" The Emperor of Qi asked.
The Patrol Commandant of the Capital City was the Northern Yamen Commandant that people often referred to.
Zheng Shi was not present at the ceremony. At this moment, he squeezed out of nowhere and bowed to the Emperor of Qi, "I am here."
The Emperor of Qi ordered, "This matter is for you to investigate thoroughly. I give you the right to use the night watchmen. No matter who is involved, do not let it go! "
After a pause, he added, "Do not implicate the innocent."
To prevent abuse of power, the Northern Yamen Commandant's cultivation could not exceed the Outer Building Realm. This also made it difficult for the Northern Yamen Commandant to use the Blue Medal of the Outer Building even though he had power.
The night watchmen were only loyal to the Da Qi Royal Family, and their strength was terrifying.
This matter was handed over to the Northern Yamen Commandant to investigate, and not the Ceremony Supervisor Han Ling, which made all the officials and nobles present heave a sigh of relief.
The Emperor of Qi's last sentence also made everyone feel relieved.
The sweat on Chung Geng Sheng's forehead stopped.
Too beautiful, too beautiful!
If not for the fact that the occasion was not right, he really wanted to raise Jiang Wang up and cheer.
Perhaps Jiang Wang was just speaking out of compassion. However, he hit the nail on the head and convinced the Emperor of Qi.
So what if Chongxuan was talented?
Today, all of Linzi was amazed by him.
However, Jiang Qingyang had won the gratitude of half of Linzi!
