Are you kidding? Didn’t you see what happened to the imperial envoys sent before?
One of the two imperial envoys died and the other was punished. If you, Qi Ziang, dare to harm me, I will kill you first.
Fu Chengwang nodded and said, "Lord Qi, as the Imperial Censor, is just the right person to handle this matter."
Qi Ziang quickly said, "Your Majesty, your Majesty has no time either."
Li Xingye laughed and said, "How could Master Qi not have time? Is he busy accompanying his new concubine?"
Although he said it with a smile, his tone was very bad.
Qi Ziang's heart skipped a beat.
Before he could say anything else, the Crown Prince suddenly stood up and said, "Father, I think Lord Qi is the right person. Why don't you appoint him as the Imperial Envoy to investigate the Qingyuan Yamen's collusion with pirates to kill imperial officials?"
The prince was being very selective in what he said. We can only investigate the matter of collusion with pirates to kill Zhao Lin. As for the rest, don't touch it.
Prince Yu followed closely behind: "Lord Qi is upright and incorruptible, and is the most suitable."
Qi Ziang's face immediately darkened.
As soon as these two biggest bastards opened their mouths, their little brothers followed suit.
Sure enough, other ministers wrote to the emperor one after another, saying that Qi Ziang, the Censor-in-Chief, was the most upright, able to distinguish right from wrong, loyal and courageous, and was the most suitable person to be the imperial envoy.
Qi Ziang was immediately so angry that his face turned black as if water was about to drip out.
Who would dare to go to a madman like Zhao Lin?
Qi Ziang just complained to Emperor Chengping to show his presence, but who knew that Fu Chengwang, a man with evil intentions, would actually ask him to be an imperial envoy. Isn't this pushing himself to death?
As expected, both the father-in-law and the son-in-law are not good people.
At this moment, Shao Yutang suddenly stood up and said, "If Master Qi is unwilling to go, I am willing to go."
Everyone was shocked.
What does Shao Yutang mean?
Is he having a grudge against Zhao Lin, or is he being instructed by Prince Yu to help Zhao Lin?
Li Chengqian thought for a moment and said, "For such a major matter, even if Lord Shao goes, it won't be enough. It's better for me to go there myself."
It’s strange, what are these two old guys thinking?
Everyone was puzzled.
Pang Jingxiu hurried out and said, "The court is busy with affairs, so how can we ask the two prime ministers to come? Let me go."
Hey, what is Pang Jingxiu doing again?
Many ministers were puzzled.
But someone soon reacted.
The Jiujiang Governor's Office alone confiscated nearly 10 million taels of silver.
There are three governor's offices now!
There are also many maritime merchants!
How much silver would that cost?
Are you afraid that Zhao Lin will kill you?
Isn't it enough to just not go against him?
Zhao Lin has always been generous, so can't he share some of the profits?
That little bit must be worth at least several hundred thousand taels, right?
You can earn hundreds of thousands of taels for free with just one trip, no wonder these people are scrambling to go.
Even though Zhao Lin often took out tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, those were people's accumulations over many years, and he just snatched them away.
If it really comes down to the long-term, there won't be that many.
The Duke of Weiguo bribed the governors of three provinces to collect money from maritime merchants for him. How much money did he get every year?
Some people understand it, some people don’t.
I only saw the mess in the hall.
"Quiet!"
Fu Chengwang said angrily.
Everyone fell silent.
Fu Chengwang said, "This kind of thing is the responsibility of the Imperial Censorate. What are you trying to steal? Or are you really unhappy that Zhao Lin didn't die at the hands of the pirates, and you want to go and kill him yourself?"
Shao Yutang said dissatisfiedly: "How can Master Fu be so mean? We are also concerned about Master Zhao and want to help him investigate thoroughly to avoid slander."
Qi Ziang was so angry that his face and hands were shaking.
He is also a member of Prince Yu's party.
Why is Shao Yutang so disrespectful?
Li Xingye stepped forward and said, "I still suggest that the Censor-in-Chief go."
Emperor Chengping readily agreed and said, "Stop arguing. Let Qi Aiqing take the trouble."
Qi Ziang held it in for a long time, and could only say: "I obey your order."
Everyone else looked at Qi Ziang enviously.
Only he himself is still depressed.
