Hearing this, Qin Qianlu frowned and then asked, "How could that guard have so much influence and kept it so well hidden? Didn't anyone else notice anything amiss? And what are those who support Prince Xian still doing in court? Are they planning a rebellion? Was that Vice Minister of War also a member of Prince Xian's faction?"
"Yes, Luo Bao. I didn't look at the Ministry of War's information carefully before, but now I realize that he has a connection with Prince Xian. It's just that much of it has been covered up in recent years. I didn't investigate further then, but now I've discovered that the Ministry of War was Prince Xian's... well, you could say a male concubine. The Ministry of War was quite handsome when he was young. Prince Xian doted on him for a long time and even helped him enter the court. He was deeply in love with Prince Xian and never married or had children, focusing solely on serving him. Prince Xian's heir bears an eight-tenths resemblance to Prince Xian, and he also extended that love to the prince, serving him as well. Most of the money he embezzled from the silver and gold mine profits was used to support his private army, and a small portion was used to bribe officials for Prince Xian's heir, suppressing the common people. He suppressed quite a few people."
001 paused, then continued, "That guard wasn't particularly capable, but many in the camp were Prince Xian's confidants. Even if they didn't know the specific cause of Prince Xian's death, upon hearing the guard's account, they all worked together to confirm it. There are also several junior officers on the frontier, who are essentially part of Prince Xian's army. The soldiers they command only obey them. They are now just waiting for Prince Xian's heir to grow up and, with a single call to arms, they will lead their troops to storm the imperial palace."
Qin Qianlu was shocked and waited for 001 to continue. The ministers were also in shock. The emperor's face became increasingly gloomy. General Mu even directly sealed the acupoints of the Minister of Personnel. Prime Minister Qin and Prime Minister Su couldn't help but move closer to the emperor to better protect him.
001 continued, "The remaining members of the Prince Xian faction in the court are also waiting for the Prince Xian's heir to grow up. Luo Bao, do you remember the assassination attempt you suffered when I was promoted? That was the assassination attempt by that old bastard Minister of Personnel. Although I don't know his thought process, he believed that you had destroyed their source of income, causing them to lose a lot of private soldiers and a gold mine. So he wanted to kill you to eliminate future troubles. He just didn't expect to be killed in the end. He was so angry that he smashed a lot of teacups and ornaments. He then contacted many assassins to take your life. Bah, old bastard, wishful thinking. With me, 001, here, no one can harm Luo Bao in the slightest. As for the others, they are all waiting for the Prince Xian's heir to grow up for the sake of meritorious service. Don't they realize that the Prince Xian's heir is such a coward? He should take a good look at himself."
Everyone was shocked. Prime Minister Qin glared at the Minister of Personnel, wishing he could beat him up right now. Prime Minister Su, who was also angry, calmed Prime Minister Qin down and told him to settle the score later, and to wait for the young master Qin to finish speaking.
The Emperor also looked at the Minister of Personnel with a gloomy face. The Minister of Personnel could not move at this moment, but his eyes were cold and sinister, like a venomous snake. The Crown Prince and the Second Prince exchanged a glance and tacitly moved their feet to block in front of Qin Qianluo to prevent anyone from rioting.
Qin Qianlu was shocked and speechless. "No way, is this Minister of Personnel out of his mind? What does this have to do with me? I did give my father the note, but wasn't that done secretly? How did he know? And he even tried to assassinate me? He really thinks highly of me. Does this Prince Xian have them so loyal? Even after they're dead, they're still thinking about rebellion? Is rebellion that easy?"
Everyone nodded in agreement. Yes, yes, rebellion isn't that easy. What's so great about Prince Xian? He's dead, yet we still want to rebel for him. Isn't the current emperor good enough? He's just wasting his time.
001 replied, "Prince Xian is a master at winning people over; it's like modern-day PUA. He suppresses them, then gives them rewards, then suppresses them again, then gives them rewards again. These people are like they've been brainwashed. Whatever Prince Xian says goes. Even if Prince Xian were dead, they would still support his bloodline to ascend the throne, risking their lives to protect Prince Xian's heir."
Everyone was shocked. What was this P and A thing? What was wrong with them? Had they developed feelings after being suppressed? The Emperor also didn't understand what these people were thinking. He listened silently, and the hall was completely quiet for a moment. Qin Qianluo was focused on what 001 was saying and didn't pay attention to her surroundings.
Qin Qianluo asked again, "This Prince Xian is quite formidable; so many people remain loyal even after his death. He must have some skill. But is Prince Xian's heir really that outstanding? I don't think so. Wasn't he supposed to be a bully who preys on men and women?"
A disdainful child's voice rang out, "What's so outstanding about him? The Prince of Xian is just a spoiled brat, a little devil. Even at such a young age, he's used his status to abduct countless women, including many illegitimate daughters of officials. He's incredibly cruel; women kidnapped and brought into his mansion are tortured to death within days. Furthermore, this Prince of Xian has a pedophilic fetish. Boys and girls frequently disappear from the capital and suburbs, usually kidnapped and brought to his residence. Those children die even more tragically, subjected to inhuman torture before finally dying. He particularly enjoys the cries of children in pain; he's a complete pervert. Right now, he still has dozens of girls and children in his mansion—a heartless, utterly depraved monster."
The more the crowd listened, the angrier they became. Many officials thought of their own lost concubine's daughters and wished they could devour Prince Xian's son alive. The Emperor himself exuded a chilling aura. Even Eunuch Liu glared angrily at Prince Xian's son. Upon hearing this, Prince Xian's son was already trembling and shrinking into his wife's arms. His wife was also filled with fear and resentment towards the owner of the voice, and she was thinking of a solution in her mind.
