Chapter 149: The Biggest Case of This Dynasty, People Are Panicking
Wei Yuan knew that after Zhao Zhen confirmed the crown prince, the two kings' cliques in the court for personal gain not only did not stop, but intensified.
As long as the prince Zhao Xi is fine, the throne has nothing to do with them.
But what are they fighting for?
They want to stay in the capital, want to be regent, and want to assist Youjun one day.
In other words, he didn't want to just leave the capital and return to the fiefdom.
No matter what their plans were, it didn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that Zhao Zhen wants to go to jail for the sake of his only biological flesh and blood.
When Zhang Fu, Han Zhang and others grow old one after another, in the not-too-distant future, the only people who can speak and take care of things in the temple will be Wei Yuan, Yanda and others.
The former is the next Zhang Fu, or even someone who surpasses Zhang Fu.
The latter holds the Imperial City Department and has the power to supervise all officials, which can be said to be a high and powerful position.
How can we turn these two people into servants who will swear allegiance to the royal family and the future new emperor?
Then let them offend everyone they can offend.
Let them leave the royal family, there is only a dead end.
Zhao Zhen may have more than that, but for a moment, Wei Yuan could only think of this.
He didn't dare to think about more, and he didn't want to think about it.
For example, the causes of death of several of Zhao Zhen's biological princes may be related to the vassal king.
And Zhao Zhen may have found something.
All in all, things have come to a point where Gu Chen and Wei Yuan can do what they want, but the Wei family needs to reach a higher level.
The next day.
Yanda went to Xuanzheng Hall to meet the saint.
Zhao Zhen asked: "What did he say?"
Yanda said: "General Wei said that for Your Majesty, I am willing to hold the sword."
Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "I really didn't misjudge him."
After that, he threw the wooden plaques with "King Yan" and "King Yong" engraved on the case into the stove in front of him.
From then on, there were no more kings of Yan and Yong in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The country has been established, and the world must be at peace.
Yanda looked at the stove in front of Zhao Zhen in a daze.
It was only October, and the weather was just getting colder, but it was quite mild inside the palace.
But Your Majesty, you set up a stove to keep warm?
Is Your Majesty's body no longer immune to the cold?
Yanda didn't dare to think about it any more.
He also knew in his heart that the purpose of setting up the Great Prison this time was to make him and Wei Yuan unable to retreat and could only rely on the royal family.
In other words, he and Wei Yuan are now in the same boat, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are in the same boat.
If something went wrong in setting up the Great Prison this time, he and Wei Yuan would be the ones to take the blame. But for the sake of a great future, they had no choice.
"Your Majesty, when will we take action?"
Yanda asked.
Zhao Zhen thought for a moment and said, "You two should discuss it. I only want to see the result."
Yanda nodded, bowed and said, "I resign from my humble position."
As soon as he left the hall, he heard several coughs from Zhao Zhen behind him.
Yanda pretended not to hear and quickly left the hall.
Another day passed.
Light rain.
Yanda introduced several officials from the Imperial City Department to Wei Yuan and said:
"His Majesty said, it is up to you and me to decide when to start."
At this moment, the imperial city officials, including Gu Qianfan, were lined up in a row, about six or seven of them, looking at the two people in front of them without saying a word.
Whether it is Yanda or Wei Yuan, in their hearts, they are all big shots who can make the capital tremble by stomping their feet.
In front of the two of them, no one dared to slack off at all.
At this moment, Gu Qianfan was carefully recuperated by the imperial doctor and was able to suppress the injuries in his body for the time being.
In the past two days, he has been thinking about why, that night, he was the only one from the Imperial City Division to survive?
Why, that night, only one enemy spy who was "still unconscious" survived?
And the secret agent is now missing.
Even if he figured it out and understood it, he didn't dare to show it.
The sky fell, but there was a tall one holding it up.
Now, in his opinion, Wei Yuan and Yanda are the taller people.
"Commander Yan, who do you think is more appropriate to start with?"
Wei Yuan turned his back to everyone, closed his eyes and asked.
Yanda thought for a while and said, "Why don't we start with martial arts and reduce the military power of the two kings first."
Wei Yuan nodded, "Then Marquis of Zhongshan."
Yanda didn't say anything, just waved his hand towards Gu Qianfan and others.
Afterwards, all the officials from the imperial city bowed together.
"promise!"
Immediately afterwards, they all dispersed.
Yanda looked at Wei Yuan's back and asked with a smile: "Guess when it will be over?"
Wei Yuan remained silent.
Yanda shook his head, "It's boring, so boring."
He stood by the attic door and window, looking at the drizzle outside, and murmured:
"It is said that murderous intentions arise when holding a public weapon in hand, but sometimes, if we don't kill, we will have to be killed by others."
"General Wei, whether you admit it or not, we are all brothers from now on. If you die, I can't live. If you live, we can all live."
"The storm is about to come, and the Imperial City Division will become your ally."
Hearing this, Wei Yuan was a little surprised.
If that were the case, it would be a good thing.
It's just that he can't trust Yanda very much.
Wei Yuan slowly turned around, facing Yanda's figure, and said:
"Do you think this case will become the biggest case in this dynasty?"
Once this point is opened, the statement made by Taizu Taizu of the Zhou Dynasty that no scholar-bureaucrats would be killed in the Zhou Dynasty becomes a lie.
After all, many of the people they wanted to kill this time were scholar-bureaucrats.
Yanda said thoughtfully: "Isn't this case already the biggest case in this dynasty?"
Wei Yuan said: "As an official, are you really not afraid of your reputation after death?"
Yanda said: "If you are charged with collaborating with the enemy and treason, just kill them. Besides, Your Majesty has no intention of killing them to the end. Kill some, release some, and imprison some."
——
The rain outside is getting heavier and heavier.
Bianjing Street, which was originally extremely prosperous, now has not many pedestrians staying.
Soon, hundreds of imperial guards with swords and raincoats were walking hurriedly through the streets, splashing water.
This team was led by Gu Qianfan, who was still injured.
Soon, they arrived in front of the Zhongshan Hou Mansion.
Originally, the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion had long been in desolation, and future generations could not even hold an official position in the army, let alone one.
Even being able to stay in the capital is a bit difficult.
Later, when King Yan gained power, in order to cultivate some confidants, he selected the somewhat down-and-out Zhongshan Houfu.
Put him in charge of an army of Custodes.
Although King Yan and King Yong are not directly related to the army, they know many people who hold important positions in the army.
Zhao Zhen was not unaware of this, but at that time the country was not yet established, so he always wanted to watch and see which of the two of them was suitable to be the future king of the country.
With Zhao Xi safe and sound, everything changed.
The gate of Zhongshan Hou Mansion is closed.
Gu Qianfan sent someone to knock on the door.
After a while, a servant opened the door and was startled when he saw a group of officials standing outside.
At this moment, several imperial city officials broke in through the door.
Gu Qianfan arrived at the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion and immediately said loudly:
"According to His Majesty's decree, the Marquis of Zhongshan is afraid of having ties to the enemy country, so the Imperial City Department is tasked to arrest him and bring him to justice!"
Soon, the entire Zhongshan Hou Mansion was in panic.
But at this moment, it’s not just the Zhongshan Marquis Mansion that is panicking?
After a while.
Mrs. Zhongshan Hou brought the whole family to Gu Qianfan, and they all knelt down.
"My husband has committed suicide by hanging from a beam."
