The emperor didn't care about Prince Jin's little thoughts. He only knew that this matter was handled by Zhao Ji. The person was Zhao Ji, and the arrest was done by Zhao Ji.
And it was done extremely beautifully.
However, the emperor was still a little worried and asked, "Are you sure that all these people have been caught? No one will suddenly appear to cause trouble?"
Zhao Ji smiled and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. I have already thoroughly instructed all the guards in the capital. Except for the two envoys from Southern Xinjiang, no one else from Southern Xinjiang, or anyone who is suspected to be from Southern Xinjiang, should be allowed to pass."
“At the same time, I have also asked Jingzhao Prefecture to post a notice, telling the people in the capital that if anyone finds someone who looks like he is from Southern Xinjiang, they can report the clues anonymously. If it is verified that the person is indeed from Southern Xinjiang, Jingzhao Prefecture can directly give a reward!”
"In this way, the enthusiasm of the people will surely increase greatly, and these southern Xinjiang people will no longer be able to hide!"
"In fact, the reason why I was able to find these people in such a short time was also due to the help of many people!"
The emperor was very appreciative of Zhao Ji's handling of the matter.
"My dear ministers, do you have any questions now?"
The emperor's question was clearly intended to humiliate the ministers who had been making a lot of noise and fuss in the court some time ago.
The court officials looked at each other, and naturally no one stood up.
Prince Jin was so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his head.
He originally thought that this incident in southern Xinjiang would allow him to gain merit.
After the arson in the palace, Prince Jin's first reaction was to think of the people from Southern Xinjiang.
Unfortunately, he searched everywhere but couldn't find these people from southern Xinjiang.
The emperor praised Zhao Ji very much. He gave Zhao Ji a lot of gold, silver and jewelry and even gave him ten thousand-mile horses.
Such a generous reward made the court officials envious.
Zhao Ji simply accepted the rewards calmly, and at the same time looked up and glanced at the Prime Minister.
Zhao Ji was very clear some time ago that these people from southern Xinjiang should have been taken in by the prime minister and all traces had been erased.
I just don’t know what kind of deal the Prime Minister made with these people to be willing to take this risk.
But as soon as the arson case occurred, everyone in the court said that it was done by people from southern Xinjiang.
Zhao Ji deliberately used such a reward method among the people.
After all, the prime minister is from the Celestial Empire, so naturally he doesn't dare to take too much risk.
So it didn't take long for Zhao Ji to secretly observe the prime minister and provide much less protection for these people in southern Xinjiang.
Gradually, following the lead of the Prime Minister, they found out all the people from southern Xinjiang, including the radishes and mud.
The prime minister and Zhao Ji looked at each other, and both of them saw the understanding in each other's eyes.
But this time the prime minister was willing to admit defeat. In this matter, Zhao Ji used an open conspiracy, and the prime minister had no way to escape it.
Zhao Ji was also very clear that the Prime Minister must give up the people of Southern Xinjiang, so Zhao Ji won this confrontation!
The emperor naturally didn't know that his good prime minister had ever done such a thing.
Zhao Ji had no intention of reporting this matter to the emperor.
The main reason was that the prime minister was indeed quick in his actions. Zhao Ji had just captured these people from southern Xinjiang.
The prime minister wiped out all traces immediately, it was really quick.
Zhao Ji would naturally not rashly tell the emperor about something without evidence. After all, no one knew whether the prime minister would have a backup plan, and it would be bad if he turned around and bit back.
After leaving the court, Zhao Ji walked down the stone stairs. After a while, he noticed that there was another person following him.
Zhao Ji tilted his head slightly and found that it was the prime minister.
So his smile deepened: "Prime Minister, you have such quick hands and feet!"
The Prime Minister snorted coldly: "Of course it can't match the speed of Lord Zhao Ji's investigation."
Zhao Ji smiled slightly: "Prime Minister is so efficient, I guess you must have done a lot of this before, right?"
The Prime Minister did not respond to Zhao Ji's words: "I don't understand what Master Zhao Ji is talking about. Is it because the credit today came too quickly and it has overwhelmed your mind, causing you to talk nonsense?"
Zhao Ji did not argue with the prime minister, but looked at the King of Jin who was walking angrily from a distance and whispered: "If the King of Jin knew that his in-laws were the biggest obstacle to his success this time, I really don't know what he would think!"
The prime minister stared at Zhao Ji with eyes wide open. He knew very well that Zhao Ji was capable of sowing discord.
The figure of Prince Jin became more and more obvious, and it was obvious that he came here angrily to find Zhao Ji to call for an explanation.
Zhao Ji had been investigating the case for so many days in a row and had not had a good night's sleep. He didn't want to waste his time on a fool.
Seeing the Prime Minister so uneasy, Zhao Ji burst out laughing and said, "The Prime Minister and I are colleagues, so we naturally have some friendship. Why don't you explain this matter to the King of Jin, so that I don't have to waste my breath. It would be bad if I said something not so good!"
However, when the Prime Minister heard Zhao Ji's magnanimity, he still did not relax at all.
After watching Zhao Ji walk away, the Prime Minister cursed: "He is really an old fox..."
In this matter, it seemed that Zhao Ji did the prime minister a favor and let the prime minister explain to the King of Jin himself.
This prevented Zhao Ji from directly exposing the fact that the Prime Minister was shielding people from southern Xinjiang.
But in fact, this is a vicious move.
The King of Jin is very angry now, and he is absolutely determined to settle the score with Zhao Ji.
But now, his maternal grandfather, the prime minister, came to persuade him to let go of this matter, or even not care about it.
Then subconsciously, Prince Jin would doubt the intentions of his maternal grandparents.
Why don't you stand by me in such matters?
Then, in some future cooperation and exchange of interests, the Prince of Jin will always think of what happened today. If he thinks of what happened today more often, he will naturally become alienated from the Prime Minister.
If they become alienated from the Prime Minister, they will be on guard against each other in many things.
As a result, over time, cracks began to appear in the relationship between the Prime Minister and the Prince of Jin.
A thousand-mile long dike can be destroyed by a single ant hole.
Perhaps after a few such incidents, the relationship between Prince Jin and the Prime Minister may have completely collapsed.
Zhao Ji understood this relationship of interest clearly, and the prime minister naturally understood it as well.
Moreover, the prime minister knew very well that his grandson must be someone who could not figure out the interests involved.
Or as long as he stopped Prince Jin from asking for accountability, Prince Jin would not think about this kind of interest relationship. He would only guess about the prime minister step by step as analyzed before.
The prime minister was now in a state of confusion, unable to express his grievances in words. The figure of Prince Jin appeared in front of the prime minister.
The prime minister gave a bitter smile, but still stopped the King of Jin from going forward: "The King of Jin seems to have something to ask me, why don't we go to the side and talk..."
