Chapter 14
Prince Qing's Mansion is extremely majestic, and the few frost and snow have been swept away.
The faint scent of sandalwood is everywhere.
A young man wearing a python robe and a jade crown is reading a book. His back is very tall and straight: "Have you checked it out? Where did those poems come from?"
His voice is extremely magnetic.
A servant in black knelt down and said: "Back to my young master, the spy in the palace has found out, and the person behind it turned out to be the current queen, Qin Huairou!"
Snapped!
The young man closed the book fiercely, his eyes shot out a cold light, and then he sneered again and again: "This king's sister-in-law has really healed her scars and forgotten the pain. She is determined to fight against me!"
"But these poems are so shocking. Who is helping?"
The servant in black frowned: "My young master, if it is allowed to develop, Cheyenne's plan will come to nothing. Horn has summoned his disciples and old friends to collect money."
"These poems will sell for at least hundreds of thousands of taels..."
"And Qin Zhen's plan to suppress the bandits in advance has already interfered with the plan."
"Hmph!" The young man snorted heavily: "It's not that easy. I have already planned it. Qin Zhen and he can't defeat the bandits! Rather than sabotaging them to raise money, I care more about those bastards and dare to help the emperor.
"
"Go and find out who wrote the poem. Once you find out, destroy all the nine tribes!" A fierce light flashed in his eyes. The emperor did not dare to kill, but it didn't matter to the others.
The servant in black bowed: "Yes!"
After the person left, someone else sneaked into the study.
He is also a man in black and has great respect for King Xiao Qing: "My lord, Jiuzhou Admiral Dong Zhuo has learned that Concubine Dong Gui has been imprisoned and is very angry."
"He said that Prince Xiaoqing is a dragon and a phoenix among men. We can get together when we have time."
Hearing this, King Xiao Qing stood up suddenly, extremely excited, but his face was hidden in the shadows, and his true appearance could never be seen.
Fierce fist pump: "Okay, okay, okay!"
"With his help, why should I worry about accomplishing great things?"
"Since Dong Zhuo intends to get closer, everything will be simple. You immediately send someone to send one million taels of silver to Dong Zhuo. Just say it is a small gesture and do not ask for anything in return."
"He can just sit back and watch what's going on in the capital."
"yes!"
In the study, Prince Xiao Qing was alone, his eyes flashing, sometimes gloomy, sometimes fiery, and finally burst out with murderous intent!
"..."
Three days later, all Zhou Jian's poems were sold, and they were sold at very high prices.
Under his instruction, Horn selected more than fifty officials and placed them in various departments of the court. Anyone who disobeyed was killed by Zhou Jian with thunderous means.
As he took charge of the government, many corrupt officials came to light and were killed one by one. Anyone involved was killed without any mercy.
Zhou Jian knows very well that in the struggle for power, kindness is equal to suicide!
The smell of blood in the capital is soaring!
The corrupt official's family had a lot of money, all of which was quickly confiscated by Zhou Jian. However, even if it was passed by the Ministry of Household Affairs, it would also go into the pocket of Gu Si, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Taking action again and again made all the ministries and forces in the court furious, and flames burst out.
Xia Yan and others wrote to King Xiaoqing many times, but received no reply.
Day five.
The return of a piece of news broke the tranquility of the capital and completely disturbed the water.
"Report!!"
"Your Majesty, General Qin Zhen led his army one day and one night to sweep away the largest bandit in Zizhou, executed more than 5,000 people, and captured the mountain king Qiu Ying alive. Now he is on his way back to the court!"
Hearing this, the court was filled with shock and anger.
Many people feel as if their tails have been stepped on.
"Your Majesty, what does this mean?" Xia Yan stood up, furious, almost spitting blood: "Didn't we agree to wipe out the largest horse bandit in Cicada State? Why did we change the route to Zizhou?"
"That's right!" The Minister of War stood up and said with an ugly face: "Qin Zhen, this is ignoring the holy will and going into the army privately. It is a heinous crime!"
"Should be put to death!"
"Yes, execution!"
"..."
Zhou Jian looked at Xiafeng with a sneer, and said lightly: "What do you mean by disregarding the holy will? Qin Zhen changed his route to Zizhou. This is my order. What? You don't accept it?"
Everyone was choked and felt like they were being tricked.
Many of them understood that Chanzhou was a trap and it was impossible to win if Qin Zhen was gone, but His Majesty actually made such a fuss!
Xiayan's face was gloomy, and she cupped her hands and said: "Your Majesty, we agreed on Chanzhou. You are tantamount to deceiving us. In this case, the military power of Beidaying and our money cannot be counted!"
Zhou Jian stood up, walked down the dragon ladder, and approached him step by step.
The ministers were afraid and retreated one after another.
Cheyenne was sweating, but she gritted her teeth and held on.
"Are you bargaining with me? Or are you competing with me for military power?" Zhou Jian narrowed his eyes, extremely dangerous.
Everyone's scalps were numb and their legs were weak. What a big hat!
Xia Yan forced out an ugly smile: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen doesn't mean that. It's just that we agreed in advance to fight the horse bandits in Chanzhou."
"Bah!" Zhou Jian sprayed saliva on his face, causing the surroundings to tremble again!
"The horse bandits in Chanzhou are suppressed, but the rogue bandits in Zizhou are also suppressed? Could it be that, Mr. Xia, you think the banditry in Chanzhou is greater than that in Zizhou?"
"Didn't you hear just now that Qin Zhen executed more than five thousand bandits? That's more than five thousand!"
Cheyenne's skin and flesh were trembling, her hands were squeezed tightly, and her heart was roaring with hatred, "My dear emperor, how dare you spit on me!"
"Old man, I know you are dissatisfied, but even if you are dissatisfied, I will suppress you!" Zhou Jian said in a low voice and coldly, with such sharp eyesight, and then turned around, not afraid of this guy at all.
"Come here, please prepare a decree in advance. General Qin Zhen will be awarded the title of Duke for his meritorious service in suppressing the bandits, and will also be appointed as the general of Beida Camp. He will be rewarded with three thousand silver coins."
Hearing this, many courtiers became dark-faced.
Got cheated!
His Majesty has deceived him. He wants Qin Zhen to rule the Beida Camp with integrity!
"Your Majesty..." Someone wanted to object.
Zhou Jian turned around fiercely with fierce eyes: "Who dares to object?"
The man shuddered and held back his words.
"Who agrees?" he asked again, looking down, looking domineering.
As prime minister, Huo En immediately stood up and bowed his hands: "I agree!"
One after another, hundreds of officials stood up and knelt down to worship: "Your Majesty, we also agree."
Many neutral courtiers had no choice but to kneel down slowly. Only one-third of the courtiers were left standing with pale faces, but they were important ministers of the court and held the most real power.
Xia Yan and others looked at the current court, shouting in their hearts that something is going to change?! Their sense of crisis gradually increased. If Qin Zhen returns to the court, and there are people in the military to support him, will there be a way for him to survive?
One by one, their eyes showed murderous intent.
...
After going to court, Xia Yan and others changed their positions one after another, got on an unknown carriage, and disappeared into the capital.
This time it was not them who took the initiative to see King Xiao Qing, but King Xiao Qing who got the news and became furious and took the initiative to meet them.
He was naturally unhappy after being tricked by Zhou Jian, and too many of his confidants had been killed recently. Zhou Jian obviously wanted to clean up the court, and Qin Zhen came back victorious, and even the rewards were taken away, so what's the point?
Coupled with the overtures of Dong Zhuo, the governor of Kyushu, various reasons caused King Xiaoqing to be unwilling to be lonely again!
