Chapter 98: Huigou's King of Jin, He Louqian Incident

Fang Jue trusted Dian Yi's martial arts attainments.

He said that if someone is good at martial arts, he must be among the best in the world.

"Even if I can't compare to Ye Hongyi, I'm not far behind, but I should be stronger than the emperor." Dianyi said.

In front of a strong man like him, King Jin could not hide his aura no matter how much he pretended to be a pig or a tiger.

"No way?"

Fang Jue took a deep breath and scratched his scalp: "This King Jin... is so beautiful!"

Suddenly, I understood why the King of Jin knew how to hide his strength and bide his time, and was so cowardly.

Could it be that he wanted to outlast the other princes, so that when the emperor gets old, he will naturally have no choice but to pass the throne to him!

You must know that in the long history of ancient feudalism, almost every emperor handed over power after his death, and only a handful of them abdicated early.

Xiao Pingsi is no exception, especially an accomplished emperor who will firmly control power.

Therefore, before death, no prince can ascend to the throne unless he rebels.

But Xiao Pingsi is very lively. As long as he doesn't contract any terminal illness or epidemic, he can live to be over eighty years old.

In this era, this is considered a very long life.

If we start delegating power again at the age of 80, it will be nearly 40 years from now...

Who can be a 20-year-old prince now, 40 years from now?

Unless he is also a master with strong internal strength and a good understanding of health maintenance... then only King Jin is left.

"I'll go..."

Fang felt his scalp numb. He really didn't expect that there would be a person who planned to live in poverty for forty or fifty years!

Really old enough.

When Xiao Luoye competed with King Jin, he was instantly weak.

"He would rather live in obscurity for decades than to rebel or kill other brothers..." Fang Jue nodded secretly, King Jin seemed to be a good candidate.

If the ruler is established with good moral character, and the ruler is wise and the ministers are upright, it will be a great blessing for the country.

"Master, when you say this, it seems that Prince Jin has such a plan?" Noriichi was also shocked.

Fang Jue said: "Why don't other princes learn internal skills?"

Dianyi joked: "Master, why didn't you learn it when you were in Emperor Zun Pavilion?"

"I understand, stop talking..."

Fang Jue smiled bitterly, it turned out that they were both useless in martial arts.

After three years in Emperor Zun Pavilion, Fang Jue was not uninterested in those martial arts and even asked the Pavilion Master to pass them.

But after only three days, the old pavilion master said that he was a loser and that it would be easier to teach a monkey than him... It was a huge blow to Fang Jue's self-esteem at that time.

What was even more difficult for Fang Jue to accept was that the old pavilion master actually raised a monkey...

Learning martial arts is like studying. It is easy to get started, but to become a master, you really need talent...or wealth and hard work.

Fang Jue was too useless, lacking some Qi meridians, and even unable to possess internal strength.

Fortunately, this is not a fantasy world, otherwise Fang Jue would have shouted, Thirty years from Hedong to thirty years from Hexi, don’t bully the young man into poverty...

"Other princes don't learn martial arts, and they don't have the qualifications to learn advanced martial arts. There is no need to waste time and take risks to learn martial arts when an imperial physician takes care of their bodies." Dianyi said.

Although the average age is very low, rich people can live longer in any era.

Fang Jue has always believed that the average age should be calculated according to different stages of wealth.

As long as there is no terminal illness or anything like that, it shouldn't be a big problem for the prince to live to be fifty or sixty years old.



House of the Minister of Household Affairs.

"Sir, what are you doing wandering around all day?"

Seeing He Louqian pacing in front of the hall, my wife really couldn't stand it anymore.

He Louqian gritted his teeth: "My old relatives in Fuzhou sent me a letter, saying that a censor has arrived in Fuzhou and wants to open the case files I took over before."

"What happened to the case file? It has been handled without leakage long ago. What is there to worry about?"

"Is this enough to scare you into resigning? Everyone can see that you are guilty. How can your Majesty not be suspicious?" the lady shook her head.

"What I'm afraid of is not the censor, he can't find anything... What I'm afraid of is the intervention of the Xuanjian Division. Those people are so scary. They can find clues to anything..."

"There is nothing wrong with the account books and case files. Even if they knew you were corrupt, who could do anything to you?"

The lady said disdainfully: "Besides, you have a backer in the court, and not just anyone can touch you."

"What do you know?"

He Louqian said coldly: "That's the Xuanjian Division!"

The lady shook her head: "The Xuanjian Division also needs evidence, otherwise in the current situation of the struggle for the right to inherit the throne, it can only be regarded as a false accusation."

"Yes... they can't have evidence."

After dinner.

The housekeeper suddenly reported hurriedly: "Sir, it's not good. People from the Xuanjian Division and Tingwei's Mansion have surrounded the mansion."

"What?" He Louqian suddenly lost strength and slumped down on the chair, his face bloodless.

When the lady saw this, she said with disdain: "Looking at your little potential, the Xuanjian Division will come as soon as they come!"

He Louqian calmed down for a while and smiled bitterly: "Didn't you hear? Not only the Xuanjian Division, but also people from the Tingwei Mansion are here..."

Tingwei Mansion, directly under the imperial court, is equivalent to the Supreme Law, and is the highest in the entire public, prosecutorial and legal system of the Xia Kingdom.

They even have the right to directly arrest people with the title of Duke and Duke.

With Tingwei Mansion taking action, it can be seen that Xuanjian Division has found conclusive evidence, enough to nail He Louqian to death. This is the reason for his despair.

If there was only one Xuanjian Division, there would still be room for recovery, but Tingwei Mansion never missed a move.

"Tingwei Mansion...there must be evidence!" Madam insisted that it was impossible for them to find evidence, and gritted her teeth.

The door of He Mansion.

The minister of Tingwei Mansion led his men to break down the door and said directly: "In Tingwei Mansion, the Xuanjian Division was ordered to arrest the minister of household affairs, He Louqian, his brother, his third son, and his wife... The rest are being detained in the mansion, awaiting their release!"

The servants and maids of the Minister of Household Affairs were immediately shocked.

Even if the minister commits a crime, he would usually be arrested, but this seems to involve arresting everyone in the family, and even harming the female relatives of the family... What a heinous crime is this?

Even if he is a murderer, he will not be treated like this.

But these servants did not dare to question, let alone make unnecessary moves. Every soldier of Tingwei Mansion and Xuanjian Division was holding a sword.

They immediately knelt down.

Not long after, a group of people rushed into the main house and dragged He Louqian and his wife out like a dead dog.

He Louqian seemed to accept his fate, his whole face turned white.

The woman was fierce and still struggling: "Let me go, what happened to the Tingwei Mansion? You must have evidence to arrest people. My husband is the third-rank minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You must not be so presumptuous!"

The minister of Tingwei Mansion sneered: "Third-grade minister? I have even arrested the prince, so what is a third-rank minister?"

"If you want to see the evidence, I will let you see it during the interrogation of the three departments. Drag it back to Tingwei Mansion!"

"yes."

The woman was still yelling like crazy.

When passing by the door, she caught a glimpse of the person leading the Xuanjian Division team, it was Ye Hongyi.

She immediately cursed: "Ye Hongyi, you don't love yourself, you dare to frame my husband just to please your mistress!"

She naturally understood that Ye Hongyi's search in front of Helou must be because of the exchange of words with Fang Jue in the court.

Ye Hongyi walked over with a smile.

"Pah——"

A slap slapped Mrs. He on the face, knocking her mouth crooked and a tooth spurted out.

"you!"

Ye Hongyi said calmly: "If you scold me again, I will knock out another tooth of yours."

"Is the Tingwei Mansion just looking at the Xuanjian Division and lynching people without permission?" Mrs. He said ferociously.

The people in Tingwei's Mansion, however, seemed to have not seen it and remained silent.



In the evening, Fangjue found out that He Louqian had been arrested.

Then he took the food box and went to Xuanjian Division.

After seeing Ye Hongyi, he asked: "What's going on? I heard that it even alarmed the Tingwei Mansion?"

Ye Hongyi said innocently: "I'm not targeting him, the things he did are really too numerous to describe. The censor found some tricks, and our Xuanjian Division cooperated to find out."

"What exactly did he do? According to people watching from the outside of He Mansion, Tingwei Mansion will also launch a three-division trial. How serious a crime is this?"

Fang Jue was shocked. Even if a minister killed someone, he would not be tried by the three ministers and his family would be implicated.

This kind of treatment is a little worse than treason.

Ye Hongyi said: "That's it..."

"He Louqian has been an official in Fuzhou before, from county magistrate to prefect. He was promoted to the capital because of his outstanding political performance... After waiting for half a year, he became the Minister of Household Affairs."

"And his political achievements are so impressive that I, the governor of the Ministry of Personnel, and the inspection censor of the Yushitai all feel that there is a problem..."

"Then we checked the local grain tax when he was in office... When He Louqian was in office, it was much higher than others."

"Later we suspected that he was deliberately oppressing the people and paying more taxes under clever pretexts to fill the official treasury and add luster to his political achievements..."

Hearing this, Fang Jue could probably imagine it.

It seems reasonable for a person like He Louqian to do such a thing.

Fang Juedao: "Even if this is the case, the most you can do is dismissal from office. It's not like this, right?"

Ye Hongyi shook his head.

"He Louqian was in Qukou County. When he was the county magistrate, in order to be promoted quickly, he forcibly imposed more taxes for three consecutive years, which made the local people miserable... Some people resisted and went to Futai to file a complaint, and then the whole family died."

"Later, after he became the governor of Fuzhou, He Louqian repeated his old tricks, but this time there were too many people who resisted. So he became crazy and conspired with the garrison generals to massacre a remote mountain village that was unwilling to pay more food..."

Hearing this, Fang Jue became furious.
