Chapter 858 The Growing Soybean Dynasty
As Shi Lei and others surrendered themselves to the police under the influence of Lu Yang, many old cases were uncovered, all of which were done by the Fifth Prince to win over the hearts of the people.
The Ministry of Justice became busy, even busier than when the Fourth Prince rebelled.
The Fourth Prince’s rebellion was a big deal, but it was just a case. At most it would be a little troublesome to arrest people.
But this time the Fifth Prince's case was different. This time there were many cases and the scope of impact was wide, involving many officials in the court.
The Ministry of Justice interrogated Shi Lei and others overnight. The good news was that Shi Lei and others had a good attitude of admitting their mistakes and answered every question. Moreover, since Shi Lei and others were the fifth prince's dirty gloves, they had a lot of evidence, which helped the Ministry of Justice save a lot of effort.
…
The eldest prince Jiang Qun regretted pretending to be his father and taking the throne. He had to submit endless memorials, take a bitter medicine that was said to extend his lifespan, and deal with the elders in the harem...
"Fortunately, the Right and Left Prime Ministers are not in seclusion, so they can share some of the pressure for me."
Many less important memorials were handled by the Right and Left Prime Ministers, giving the eldest prince a break.
Although it was not difficult for him to handle these memorials, it was very boring. And now that he was using his father's identity, he could not do many things.
"It's better to go incognito. I don't know how far Father has progressed now."
Jiang Qun opened a memorial sent by the governor of Yuzhou, saying that the whereabouts of the remnants of Dayu were discovered in Yuzhou, and it was suspected that some of Dayu were undergoing a tribulation. He had contacted the army stationed in Yuzhou and asked the army to search for the remnants of Dayu together, but considering that the strength of the remnants of Dayu was unknown, he requested the court to send help.
"In that case, let Luoshuiwei go to Yuzhou."
Just as Jiang Qun was about to deal with the next memorial, he saw Eunuch Li coming to report.
"Your Majesty, Minister of Justice Xu Xin requests an audience."
"Let him in."
Xu Xin walked into the hall with square steps and kowtowed to Jiang Qun: "Xu Xin pays respect to Your Majesty."
"Xu Aiqing, please stand up."
"yes."
"What is Xu Aiqing doing?"
Xu Xin took out a booklet and had Eunuch Li present it to Jiang Qun.
Jiang Qun took the booklet and was a little confused: "What is this?"
"Your Majesty, this is a crime committed by the Fifth Prince."
"Who?" Jiang Qun thought he had heard it wrong.
"The crime of the fifth prince Jiang Tang."
Jiang Qun was so frightened that he quickly flipped through the booklet using his spiritual sense. His eyes jumped. The booklet clearly listed all of Lao Wu's crimes, and many of the court's long-standing secret cases were explained.
"Time is tight, and I am also worried about alerting the culprits, so only some of the crimes have been proven."
Even if it was just part of the crime, it was serious enough. If all of it were confirmed, the Fifth Prince's fate would not be much better than the Fourth Prince's.
The only difference is that the crime committed by the fifth prince does not require the execution of all nine generations of his clan, and Jiang Qun does not need to pardon himself again.
...No, the matter of the fourth brother has just been settled, how come it is the turn of the fifth brother to jump around? I have only been the temporary emperor for three days, and the two brothers have fallen into my hands.
Father, why didn't you deal with anyone when you were the emperor, but all these problems happened after you left?
There have been many cases in history where princes served as regents, but there has never been a case where a prince took advantage of the time as regent to deal with other princes.
It would be fine to deal with one, but they dealt with two. What would future generations think when they saw this history? "How did you find out these things?" Jiang Qun knew that Xu Xin was thorough and reliable and would not make up things to deceive him.
And even if it was fabricated, I wouldn't dare to make it up like this.
He was just curious.
"It was the Fifth Prince's retainers Shi Lei and others who gave the order."
"Shi Lei is so honest?" Jiang Qun frowned.
"According to Shi Lei and others, they were persuaded by Lu Yang to come to the Ministry of Justice and surrender themselves."
Jiang Qun couldn't help but hold his forehead. The matter of the fourth brother was reported by Lu Yang, and the matter of the fifth brother was also related to Lu Yang. Lu Yang, do you have to send all my brothers in to jail to make it easier for me to get promoted?
"Did Lu Yang alone persuade them to surrender?"
"I don't know about that, but Shi Lei and the others said that when Lu Yang was trying to persuade them, there was also a cultivator named Xia Tian present."
Jiang Qun: “…”
Isn’t Xia Tian the pseudonym of my father?
I knew this matter wasn't that simple, it was indeed what Father wanted! ...
In Luotian Forest, the Immortal Fairy was holding a meeting, sitting in a circle with Ao Ling, Jiang Lianyi, Jin Caiwei, and Xia Di.

"It's a rare occasion for us to get together. Today's meeting has only one purpose, and that is that I am going to establish a brand new dynasty. I have even thought of a name for the dynasty: the Soybean Dynasty."
After these words were spoken, Ao Ling and the other three straightened their backs slightly, all of them were shocked by the words of the Immortal Fairy.
Some were shocked at the establishment of a new dynasty, while others were shocked at the name of the dynasty.
"The sage once said that the throne of the world belongs to the virtuous. A person like me who is born with virtue should be the emperor."
Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi clapped their hands and looked at the Immortal Fairy with burning eyes. Has the Immortal Sister finally decided to conquer the world?
The Immortal Fairy smiled, suppressed her smile, and signaled Xiao Ling and Lian Yi that they didn't need to do this. She then continued, "Looking back at the long river of history, every dynasty change was filled with blood and fire, the people were living in misery, and the whole world was suffering. This goes against my wishes."
The Immortal Fairy's speeches were all written by Lu Yang in the spiritual space. The Immortal Fairy read them while expressing herself freely.
"I believe that establishing a new dynasty does not necessarily require war, but can be done in a peaceful way."
"For example, I once reached a cooperation with the Fourth Prince, reported the Fourth Prince for treason, and made the Jiang family fall apart by punishing all of his clans."
"But I didn't expect that the Jiang family's ancestors had some tricks up their sleeves and established a pardon system in advance, which ruined my plan. They are really a difficult opponent to deal with!"
"But it doesn't matter. Nothing goes smoothly. The process of starting a business is always difficult. I believe that as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that cannot be solved!"
The Immortal Fairy stood on the table, raised her arms and shouted: "Everyone, are you willing to join me in establishing a new dynasty?"
"I do!"
Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi didn't need to ask any more questions, they would unconditionally support whatever the Immortal Fairy did.
"Okay, then I'll make you two generals."
After the Immortal Fairy shouted, she jumped off the table and looked at Jin Caiwei: "Little Tiger, what about you?"
Jin Caiwei had no idea about establishing a new dynasty, but since Ao Ling and Jiang Lianyi both supported it, she would be at a disadvantage if she did not support it, which was intolerable.
"Me too!"
"I will also appoint you as a general."
The four girls all turned their eyes to Emperor Xia, and their looks seemed to be able to speak. What about you?
Xia Di's scalp was numb from being stared at by these people. You all agreed. If I don't agree, wouldn't it be unsociable? Xia Di had no choice but to slowly raise his hand: "I agree too."
"Appoint you as prime minister."
The Tribulation Period cultivator who was secretly responsible for protecting Emperor Xia was amazed when he saw this scene. He had never seen such a thing in his thousands of years of life.
