The next day, the army's carriages and horses were in order.
Xiao Jian sent an additional 10,000 people to escort him, fearing that Qin Yun would make any mistakes again, the convoys of ancestor worshipers from the Ancestral Temple would continue to go to the imperial capital.
Near night, we arrived at the northern entrance of the imperial capital.
Gu Chuntang, Yan Zhong and other ministers who had stayed behind came out to greet them, and a huge procession entered the palace from Xuanwu Gate.
Qin Yun asked Concubine Xiao Shu and others to return to the harem, and asked Mr. Feng to personally arrange Murong Shunhua's residence.
Then he came to the imperial study room.
The place was crowded, and all the close ministers gathered here.
The Taimiao incident has a great impact!
"My dear friends, do you have anything to say?" Qin Yun glanced below.
Qi Yong, the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, was the first to kneel down and said with sincere fear: "Your Majesty, I am guilty. I failed to arrest Wang Min and bring him to justice as soon as possible, which led to the Holy Emperor almost being involved in trouble."
Tang Ling, Qing of Zongzheng Temple, also knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I am also guilty and did not do well. Please punish me."
"I am also guilty!"
About seven or eight ministers knelt down and confessed to Wang Min.
He is indeed guilty of not being able to catch anyone for a long time.
Qin Yun sneered: "You guys live on the emperor's salary and don't care about the emperor's worries. When you do something other than trying to win over someone else, you just want to win over him!"
"My lord! I will deduct one year's salary from all of you, and each of you will be fined two thousand taels of silver! If you do it again, I will hit you with a hundred sledgehammers until your skin is bruised!"
Several ministers had bitter expressions on their faces. Those with a richer family were better off, but a little less than two thousand taels would really cost them their lives.
For the rest of your life, don't even think about having the money to sweat it out in a brothel.
boom!
"Did you hear that?" Qin Yun suddenly got angry and roared.
It exploded like rolling thunder, and all the ministers shrank their necks and trembled with fear.
They all quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, yes, your Majesty, we obey your order!"
"snort!"
Qin Yun snorted coldly and said with a stern look: "If I don't show you losers a little bit of color, you really think you can sit back and relax!"
"The court is not a place to retire!"
"If you don't do well, then resign as soon as possible and take care of yourself. I'll go find someone who can do good things!"
As soon as these words were said, Qi Yong and other ministers were frightened and their faces were completely frightened!
A fine is only a trivial matter, but if you lose your official position in the future, you will lose your life!
"Your Majesty, I know my mistake and I will not dare to do it again in the future!"
"Wang Min, the Criminal Department will definitely investigate thoroughly. Please calm down."
Tang Ling also panicked and said: "Your Majesty, the humble ministers will also try their best to hunt down Wang Min and all the gangsters. Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"
"..."
Seeing the frightened ministers below and vowing to work hard to govern, Qin Yun felt a little satisfied.
There is no beating to the end, just small punishments and big punishments.
"Everyone, get up. Qi Yong, you go back to the Ministry of Punishment immediately and torture those dead men overnight to see if you can find any useful clues!"
"Zongzheng Temple immediately sent people to protect the three princes. During special periods, no one is allowed to enter or leave. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, the ministers' eyes froze, Zongzheng Temple protected?
This is a disguised form of confinement!
Qi Yong and others looked horrified. Could it be that a prince was also involved in the assassination of the Imperial Ancestral Temple?
"Yes, Your Majesty! I will handle it personally." Tang Ling did not hesitate and responded immediately.
In the imperial study, the ministers all had their own thoughts. His Majesty's move should be a signal that he would take action against the princes.
They don't dare to get involved!
overnight.
Zongzheng Temple sent a large number of troops to the residences of the three princes in the imperial capital. They were protected in name, but in fact they were imprisoned.
It's just that no action was taken. If the three princes want to go there, they can, but they must report it.
To put it bluntly, just be honest and wait. If you dare to make any changes and escape, I will deal with you immediately.
After issuing some orders to the confidential ministers, Qin Yun dismissed everyone.
The next day.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were horrified!
Zongzheng Temple imprisoned three princes overnight. This is huge news!
In the Taiji Hall, many ministers were waiting for Qin Yun's explanation.
But Qin Yun only used one sentence to deal with it: "Wang Min and his gang members want to assassinate the emperor's relatives. I am not at ease, so I sent people to protect them."
Everyone knows that this is a trap, but it is difficult to point it out.
He also knew that an assassination had just occurred in Ming Tai Temple, so he imprisoned the prince. There must be some involvement in this.
However, there are still some objections.
A group of remonstrators led by Wei Zheng severely reported the matter.
Then, the news inevitably spread.
It caused a huge public opinion, and these public opinions pointed at Xiao Jian and Concubine Xiao Shu!
He believed that these "bad ideas" came from the Xiao family, and His Majesty easily listened to them and doted on Concubine Xiao Shu extremely much.
However, Zongzheng Temple did not take any action against the three princes, so Qin Yun was still able to suppress them and secretly ordered a strict investigation of the rumor mongers!
He suspected that public opinion had something to do with the Ninth Prince.
Two days later.
There are still many people who passionately played to speak for the three princes!
Royal Garden.
Qin Yun took a walk: "Lao Feng, is there any reaction from Lao Jiu?"
"Your Majesty, no. He didn't complain. He accepted everything quietly. He even hung the free guest sign in front of the door without moving," said Feng Lao.
Qin Yun frowned, he would rather Lao Jiu get angry and jump over the wall in a desperate situation.
So quiet, he actually didn't know how to proceed further.
It is not too difficult to kill a prince, but the difficulty lies in how to block the mouth of the world.
If the prince of Daxia serves in the military command of the land, he might be hostile to the imperial capital.
"What about Mrs. Dou?" Qin Yun asked again.
"Your Majesty, the shadow guards have also sent news that the concubine has been in and out since she came back from the Ancestral Temple. There is nothing unusual at all."
Qin Yun snorted coldly: "She really can bear it. I don't believe it. She and Lao Jiu can both sit down!"
"By the way, how are you preparing for what I asked you to prepare?"
Feng Lao said seriously, "Your Majesty, I have secretly recruited sixty-seven boys and girls with clean family backgrounds and no relatives."
"Yes, more than sixty people have been recruited in such a short period of time. The expansion of the Shadow Guard is just around the corner." Qin Yun nodded.
"I will go find Murong now!"
He changed direction and came to Qianhua Palace where Murong Shunhua temporarily lived.
See you!
Among the fallen leaves and flying flowers, a beautiful figure danced gracefully.
Her wrists shook with incomparable sensitivity, and the sword carried sword energy billowing, agile and mysterious, giving people an airtight and suffocating feeling.
"What a great swordsmanship." Mr. Feng couldn't help but admire.
Qin Yun grinned, looking at Murong Shunhua's picturesque sword skills and posture, he felt very proud.
In his opinion, Murong Shunhua will be the empress of this harem sooner or later, and no matter how beautiful she is, she belongs to him.
At this time, Murong Shunhua made a flying sword, put the long sword into its sheath, and made a clanking sound.
Then her whole body seemed to be floating like a fairy, and she stopped in place, and the rain of fallen leaves slowly stopped in the surrounding area.
"What are you doing here?"
She raised her eyebrows and felt disgusted when she looked at the dragon robe on Qin Yun's body. She didn't give him a good look.
Qin Yun walked over with a smile: "This is my palace, where can I go?"
Murong Shunhua curled her red lips and said calmly: "Just in time, I planned to leave, but I can't find you, so I will tell you now."
