Sign In a Lu Bu Fengxian at the Beginning

,

Luoyang, the capital of gods.

In the past few days, following the emperor's decree to exterminate the nine clans of Fan Yongdou, Shangshu of the Household Department, a thorough investigation of the Household Department began.

The atmosphere in the courtroom became tense with undercurrents.

Every day, officials from the DPRK and China were sacked, and their homes were ransacked by Dongchang.

Regardless of whether it is an official from the Ministry of Household Affairs, or other official departments, or officials from the Fifth Department of the Ministry of Industry, as long as they are found to be involved in corruption in the Ministry of Accountancy, they will be directly ransacked and wiped out by Dongchang.

For a time, the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was overcrowded.

On the surface, the officials whose homes were ransacked were all related to the corruption of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

But in fact, if someone analyzes them carefully, they will find that most of these officials have one thing in common, that is, they are inextricably linked with the three great families.

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Minister of the Ministry of Justice sat down respectfully.

A young figure sat on the main seat.

In the Prime Minister's Mansion, only members of the royal family can make the prime minister, Yuan Bo, the host, give up his position.

That's right, the young figure sitting on the main seat is none other than King Zhou Zhi of Shu.

Zhou Zhi glanced at Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and said, "As far as I know, the Minister of the Household Department only explained to Dongchang some things about the Ministry of Household corruption."

"Shangshu Hubu hasn't said a word about our matter so far."

"But this king is still a little uneasy, what do the Prime Minister and Zheng Shangshu think?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment.

Under the torture of Dongchang, Fan Yongdou, Shangshu of the household department, failed to withstand the torture of Dongchang, and explained to Dongchang about the corruption of the household department.

Zhou Zhi already knew about this matter.

While Zhou Zhi was rejoicing, he was also a little worried.

Although Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Household Department, has not said a word about their conspiracy to Dongchang so far,

But no one can guarantee that the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs can still strictly abide by this matter.

Therefore, Zhou Zhi had the opportunity to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion today to meet with the Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice to discuss this matter.

"My lord, Fan Yongdou probably won't talk about us."

"If he really told Dongchang about our affairs, then the Jiexiu Fan family would have no chance of turning around."

"He knows the seriousness."

"However, the Fan family has already sent someone to Luoyang."

"When the time comes, the Fan family will handle Fan Yongdou's matter personally."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo pondered for a while and said.

The Secretary of the Ministry of Justice also nodded; "Yes! My lord, there shouldn't be any accidents about Fan Yongdou."

"The most important thing now is for His Majesty to check the household department. Many of our officials in the court have been arrested."

"If this continues, our strength in the court will be wiped out in a few days."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice has a solemn expression on his face.

In the past few days, the household department has been checked, and the officials who were arrested are basically their strength in the court.

Although the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is also the chief official in charge of checking the household department, with Liu Ye, His Majesty's confidant, there is no possibility of him operating secretly.

They could only watch helplessly as these officials were ransacked and exterminated by Dongchang.

If this continues, their power in the court will be gradually disintegrated.

At that time, they will change the world, and it will not be so easy to control the court.

Hearing the words of Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, Zhou Zhi and Prime Minister Yuan Bo also frowned.

Zhou Zhi and the prime minister naturally understood the meaning of the minister of punishment.

But the investigation of the household department is the order of His Majesty in the palace, and there is no way to stop it.

Unless they do it as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhi on the main seat flashed his eyes, looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo and asked, "Prime Minister, how is the Fan family going?"

The prime minister, Yuan Bo, said, "My lord, the Fan family has been broken up into pieces, and they have spread out to make noise."

"This can be regarded as a false attack. I didn't expect His Majesty to send Cao Zhengchun to destroy the Fan family."

"With the involvement of the Fan family, Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu probably won't be able to return to Luoyang in a short time."

Originally, they were still thinking about how to lure Cao Zhengchun, the half-celestial superintendent of the East Factory, out of Luoyang.

Unexpectedly, because of the matter of the Fan family, the emperor Zhou Chen actually sent Cao Zhengchun to kill the Fan family.

This is exactly what Prime Minister Yuan Bo and the others wanted.

After all, Cao Zhengchun, the half-celestial superintendent of the East Factory, had too much influence on their plans.

If Cao Zhengchun could be lured out of Luoyang, then their plan would have the greatest chance of success.

Zhou Zhi heard the words and nodded.

Now that the two half-step celestial beings, Lu Bu and Cao Zhengchun, are not here, then Zhou Chen, the emperor, will not have the two biggest cards in his hole.

This makes planning much easier.

"In this case, let's arrange it as soon as possible!"

"Prime Minister and Zheng Shangshu, what do you two think?"

Zhou Zhi looked at Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and asked.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment looked at each other, and said together; "It's all up to the prince's arrangement."

Not to be missed.

The time when Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu, the two half-step celestial beings, are not around is the best time.

It was also the easiest time to deal with Zhou Chen, the emperor.

Prime Minister Yuan Bo and Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment naturally understood.

This is the time they've been waiting for.

Naturally not to be missed.

Little did they know that besides Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu, there was another villain waiting for them in the palace who was not inferior to Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu.

If they knew that there was another terrifying existence no less than Cao Zhengchun and Lu Bu, I don't know how they would feel.

...

royal palace.

Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhou Chen sat on the dragon chair, looking at a piece of news in his hand.

It records all the specific situations related to the four northern states during this period.

And standing below is Cao Shaoqin with a dusty face.

Cao Shaoqin's task of assisting Fang Xuanling in rectifying officials in the four northern states has been completed.

Therefore, Cao Shaoqin returned to Luoyang to renew the decree.

After Zhou Chen read the news in his hand, he raised his eyes and looked at Cao Shaoqin, who looked down with a dusty face; "Although some of the news above are not important anymore, you, Cao Shaoqin, did a good job."

"I hope that you will be able to penetrate every corner of the East Factory in the future, and nothing can be hidden from your East Factory."

"It's not like it is now. The matter of Huang Tianjiao has already passed, and you, Dongchang, have thoroughly investigated it."

"This is not the Dongchang I want."

"Understand?"

Zhou Chen looked at Cao Shaoqin and said calmly.

Cao Shaoqin sent up all the news about the four northern states during this period, including all the news about Huang Tianjiao, as well as the news about the Yuan family and the other four wealthy families using Huang Tianjiao's hand to plan for Grand Master Wen Zhong.

Although these news are no longer important to Zhou Chen now, at least they allow Zhou Chen to figure out all the details of the four northern states.

It's just a little late.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I understand."

Cao Shaoqing immediately bowed and said.

All these news were discovered by Cao Shaoqin later.

"How is the layout of the East Factory in the four northern states?"

Zhou Chen asked again.

Cao Shaoqin immediately said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, there are people from Dongchang in every prefecture and city in the four northern states."

"The entire four northern states are under the surveillance of Dongchang, and any troubles can't be hidden from Dongchang."

Zhou Chen nodded after hearing the words.

He asked Cao Shaoqin to go to the four northern states not only to let Cao Shaoqin assist Fang Xuanling in rectifying the government, but also to let Cao Shaoqin bring the entire four northern states under the supervision of Dongchang.

In the future, no matter what happens in the four northern states.

Zhou Chen, the emperor, wanted to know immediately.

"That's good."

"Recently, the thieves in the four northern states have shown signs of resurgence. What's going on?"

Zhou Chen just saw from the news that there were riots in some places in the four northern states.

This made Zhou Chen look at Cao Shaoqin suspiciously.

Corrupt officials in the four northern states were brought down.

The aristocratic family was also cleaned up.

The disaster relief money is also fully in place,

How could there be riots.

"Your Majesty, according to the factory guard's investigation, these riots are caused by people from Jiexiu's Fan family."

"General Lu and General Zhang have led their troops to hunt down Jiexiu and Fan's family who caused trouble."

Cao Shaoqin recounted what had happened in the four northern states in the past two days.

After Zhou Chen finished listening, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth; "This Jiexiu Fan's family actually sent people to the four northern states to make trouble. I really don't know what to do."

The four northern prefectures have more than 100,000 counter-insurgency troops from the imperial court's North and South Shenwuwei Second Battalion, and Lu Bu, Zhang Liao, and Fang Xuanling are there. The Fan family sent people to Luong Cui to seek death.

As for the purpose of the Fan family doing this, Zhou Chen could guess without thinking.

It was nothing more than restraining Lu Bu and the Shenwuwei of the Second North and South Battalions to suppress the rebel army and prevent them from returning to the court.

"Hehe, I thought that the counter-insurgency army of Lu Bu and Shenwuwei would be restrained, and they would not be allowed to return to the court."

"Can you guys have a chance?"

Zhou Chen sneered in his heart, glanced at Cao Shaoqin and said, "Cao Zhengchun is not here now, you just come back and sit in Dongchang."

"Keep an eye on the whole Luoyang."

"Especially the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, they can't let go of any trouble."

Cao Zhengchun left Luoyang, and Zhou Chen was having a headache because there was no one who could hold him in the East Factory.

Now that Cao Shaoqin is back, he happens to be in Dongchang.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Cao Shaoqin bowed and said.

"Go."

Zhou Chen waved his hand.

Then, Cao Shaoqin withdrew from the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

...

Shu.

Shu Palace.

After King Zhou Zhi of Shu left Shu and returned to Luoyang, everything in the Prince of Shu's mansion was up to no avail.

At this moment, Ji Wusheng looked at a letter in his hand and frowned.

This letter was urgently sent by King Zhou Zhi of Shu from Luoyang.

The content above is about Zhou Chen, the emperor who investigated the household department and ordered to kill Jiexiu and Fan's family.

After Ji Wusheng read the contents of the letter, he felt strange in his heart.

As soon as the prince had a plan with the three great families and returned to Luoyang, His Majesty arrested Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Household Department, investigated the Household Department, and ordered Jiexiu Fan's family to be killed.

This is too much of a coincidence.

Ji Wusheng's eyes flickered.

Although it is very clear in the letter, it was because Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Household Department, violently attempted to assassinate His Majesty in the Golden Luan Hall, that caused Jiexiu's Fan family to be executed by His Majesty in the palace.

Keji Wusheng always feels that this matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

"wrong."

Ji Wusheng suddenly thought of something, his expression changed, and he stood up directly.

"Come on."

After the words fell, a figure quietly appeared beside Ji Wusheng.

"Immediately send someone to investigate, is there any stranger asking about the situation in Shu?"

"Especially, is there a stranger asking about everything about the lord?"

"I want to know the news right away."

Ji Wusheng said seriously.

"yes."

The figure disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Ji Wusheng walked back and forth with an indescribably solemn expression.

"I hope it's not what I think, or it will be troublesome."

Ji Wusheng thought in his heart, a little restless.

Ji Wusheng had already thought of a possibility, that is, that His Majesty in the palace already knew about the secret connection between King Zhou Zhi of Shu and the three great families.

The majesty in the palace took down Fan Yongdou, Minister of the Household Department. In the name of checking the Household Department, he gradually cleaned up the officials of the three major families in the court.

Then, deal with and wipe out the three great families one by one.

If this guess is confirmed, then the trouble is really big.

Ji Wusheng didn't even dare to imagine, if this was the case, wouldn't it be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth if King Zhou Zhi of Shu returned to Luoyang?

...

After half an hour.

That figure quietly appeared next to Ji Wusheng again.

"Master Ji, it has been found out."

"Since the prince received the imperial edict, there have been strangers inquiring about the situation in Shu."

"In the past few days, there have been many strangers checking on the prince."

"These people all have foreign accents."

As soon as this figure appeared, he immediately said.

Hearing this figure's words, Ji Wusheng's expression turned extremely ugly.

Sure enough, what to be afraid of.

These people who inquired about the situation in Shu and investigated the king of Shu and Zhou Zhi.

Needless to say, besides the person in the palace, who else could it be.

These people are probably factory guards.

With a sullen face, Ji Wusheng walked back and forth.

Now that his guess has been confirmed, what should he do next?

Ji Wusheng frowned, and after walking back and forth a few times, he turned to the figure and immediately said, "Immediately seal off every intersection in Shu, and no one can be let out of Shu."

"Mobilize all our manpower to investigate these strangers who are exploring Shu and investigating the prince."

"If you find their traces, deal with them directly."

"No matter who it is, no one can be let go."

Ji Wusheng said with a cold face.

At this time, Ji Wusheng knew that it was necessary to use this method to kill these strangers who were exploring Shu and investigating Shu King Zhou Zhi.

It doesn't matter whether these people have found out about Shu King Zhou Zhi or the situation in Shu.

Importantly, only the dead are the most reassuring.

"Yes, Mr. Ji."

The figure took the lead and left again in the blink of an eye.

After the figure left, Ji Wusheng walked back and forth restlessly.

"No, you have to inform the prince immediately."

"Otherwise it will be too late."

Ji Wusheng stopped walking back and forth, and immediately turned around and left in a hurry.
