Chapter 850: The Fox Takes Advantage of the Tiger
After asking the great god 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 execute the Fourth Prince's nine clans, and it would have been difficult to deal with the follow-up.
But then another problem arose. There was solid evidence that the Fourth Prince had rebelled, but he could not directly try the Fourth Prince. He could not cover up such a big thing.
"Sir, there is someone above you." The Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice saw that his boss was confused and gave a kind reminder.
Xu Xin suddenly became enlightened.
Yes, I am just the Minister of Justice, a third-rank official. The matter of treason should be handled by His Majesty.
…
After Jiang Qun ascended the throne, he demonstrated extraordinary political ability and handled various political affairs as well as Emperor Xia. Otherwise, Emperor Xia would not have been so confident in temporarily entrusting the throne to him.
"Father always said how difficult it was to handle national affairs. It seems that it is not that difficult to deal with various forces and balance their interests."
Jiang Qun placed a reviewed memorial on the pile of memorials that was half a person's height.
The only problem was that he remembered that there were not so many memorials before.
"Master Buyu has successfully overcome the tribulation, and a large number of people have gone into seclusion." Jiang Qun understood the reason and sighed in his heart.
It's just that the number is larger, and it is not beyond his ability.
"Let me see this memorial. Lord Xu has been released from confinement for a while. What happened? Fourth brother is plotting a rebellion, Lu Yang reported him, and he also wants to execute all nine generations of his clan?!"
Jiang Qun briefly read it and his hands began to tremble.
I take back what I said just now, Dad, do you usually deal with this kind of thing? As he finished reading the memorial carefully, he became more and more angry, and finally snorted coldly and slammed the table.
"You are such a good fourth brother. You even dare to kill me. You are really capable!"
He replied in the memorial, asking the Ministry of Justice to call several great men in the court who had reached the Tribulation Stage to capture all of the fourth brother's brothers! As for the matter of killing the nine clans, it was easy to handle.
"Isn't it all right if I pardon myself?"
…
The large-scale purge against the Fourth Prince's forces began soon, and the people on the Fourth Prince's side were arrested without even figuring out what was going on.
Didn’t Lu Yang help the Fourth Prince seek external help and kill the first three princes? How come he was the one who was caught?
What happened? The Fourth Prince's faction was quite powerful, and during the arrest they tried to resist, leading to several battles.
But with the support of several veteran ministers in the Tribulation Crossing stage, 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 plans and wanted to profit from it, but the imperial court's powerful force temporarily intimidated them.
The second prince looked at the information in disbelief. Only a few days had passed and his fourth brother had been killed by Lu Yang.
"Could it be that he wants to use this to warn everyone not to try to win him over to seize the throne?"
The second prince shuddered. He absolutely could not make an enemy of this person!
The Fifth Prince, who originally wanted to win over Lu Yang, calmed down and did not dare to plot against Lu Yang anymore. A series of subsequent plans to win him over were scrapped.
…
After hearing that the Fourth Prince's official residence had been sealed off, the Immortal Fairy, the mastermind behind all this, was happily waiting for the Ministry of Justice to bring people to the palace to search and confiscate his property.
"As far as I know, according to the laws of Daxia, the emperor has the power to pardon. I'm afraid it's impossible to punish the entire nine clans through the matter of the fourth prince." Emperor Xia saw that Lu Yang was muttering all the way about when the Ministry of Justice would confiscate his family. His eyes were twitching because of his muttering, so he had to come out to explain and asked Lu Yang to stop muttering.
"Is there such a rule?" The 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 power of pardon, they thought of what happened today!" The Immortal Fairy frowned. It was unexpected that the Jiang family could formulate such a thorough law. The level of meticulousness was not inferior to that of the second in command, only slightly worse than her.
Emperor Xia: “…”
I think when the power of pardon was first established, no one would have thought of what is happening today.
"I think you are a talented person, do you want to join me?"
The Immortal Fairy thought that Xia Tian was very intelligent and could 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 who often behaved differently from ordinary people, and strange things always happened around him.
He is 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 will make the trip worthwhile.
"Okay." Emperor Xia agreed happily.
…
"He is Lu Yang!" In the darkness, several pairs of green eyes were staring at Lu Yang.
They were the brothers of the Fourth Prince. They broke through the heavy siege, escaped, and were temporarily spared from imprisonment.
Please...you...collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠBar (Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\Bar!)
But this is only temporary. Now that the imperial city is blocked, they cannot escape no matter what. It is only a matter of time before they are caught.
I am not afraid of being caught, but Lu Yang, the traitor, must die! Gongsun Jiu, who possesses the superb 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! "Go!"
Gongsun Jiu used his spiritual sense to transmit sound and shouted loudly. The brothers moved at the sound, like soul-catchers from the underworld. Anyone who attacked would die!
As soon as they left the ground, they felt several terrifying pressures appearing and pinning them down.
thump.
They couldn't bear the pressure and fell to their knees with panic on their faces.
They were all in the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and more than one person in the Tribulation Crossing Stage attacked them!
Even if the Ministry of Justice searched the Fourth Prince's official residence, there wouldn't be so many people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to take action!
What is going on? How could there be so many Tribulation Crossing masters protecting Lu Yang!
Could it be that Lu Yang had even calculated this?!
An old man carrying a shoulder pole walked out of the alley, shouting "Sharpening the scissors" from time to time.
The old man stood in front of Gongsun Jiu with a look of disdain on his face.
"You dare to attack your majesty, you are simply tired of living."
Gongsun Jiu and the others were bewildered. Your Majesty? What Your Majesty? The safety of Emperor Xia was of great importance. He could not leave the palace alone. There were already masters in the palace following him and protecting him secretly.
Even if Gongsun Jiu and others' target is Lu Yang, there is a possibility that His Majesty will be injured by mistake, so they must not be allowed to take action.
In the spiritual space, Lu Yang analyzed the current situation to the Immortal Fairy.
"Your Majesty, you have reported the Fourth Prince. I am afraid that you will be retaliated by the Fourth Prince's remnants in the future. You must be careful."
Lu Yang was not worried about the safety of the Immortal Fairy, he was worried about his own body.
His weak arms and legs cannot withstand the torment from the immortal fairy.
The Immortal Fairy was very touched. She didn't expect Xiao Yangzi to care about her so much. She comforted him, "Don't worry, don't worry. I have always had good luck. There will be no danger."
The second update will be at 11 o'clock
