445: Who is the real madman?

February 2.

Too many things happened in Kyoto today.

When the sun rose as usual the next day, the officials who came to the palace gate early to wait for the court meeting fell into a dead silence.

Because, there seemed to be a lot less people attending court today.

In Kyoto, the really important thing is information.

A large part of the reason why the Overwatch Council's status in the Qing Kingdom is so special is that the Secret Agents of the Overwatch Council are like dandelion seeds, taking root in every corner of the Qing Kingdom.

What happened last night has reached the ears of the adults in various mansions in Kyoto.

The Oversight Council took such a direct and unreasonable action, and did not hide its intentions at all. The action last night was vigorous and resolute. Except for the officials who were caught in the prison of the Overwatch Council, there were no people in the world who had official positions. They all ended up dead, including the fast sword Xie Bian.

In the Qing Kingdom, if you want to touch an official of the third rank or above, you need the Qing Emperor in the palace to personally issue an order. However, if you deal with officials below the third rank, as long as there is conclusive evidence, the Supervisory Yuan can do so. Cut first and play later.

As for those so-called quacks who die, they will die.

The second prince’s lineage was uprooted.

This cruel and bloody fact has made many people in Kyoto feel deeply uneasy.

No one expected that the prince, who had been fighting with His Royal Highness for so many years in Kyoto, would withdraw from the fight for the throne in such a dramatic way.

Although the second prince is surrounded by his in-law family in Dingzhou, the military forces in the court can give him almost zero help.

What's more, the Ye family seems to have a tendency to be unable to save themselves when the Clay Bodhisattva crosses the river.

The time has come, and the sound of the palace door key finally sounded.

Lu Ze stood in front of Li Chengze and slowly opened his eyes with a calm expression. At this moment, he remembered the simple conversation he had with the old man of the Qin family last night.

“In this world, the most shameless, insidious, cunning and unreasonable truth. After throwing away everything, there is only the most powerful truth left, and that is to see who has the bigger fist.”

"Fan Xian dares to plan such an unreasonable counterattack tonight because his fist is bigger than the second prince."

After peeling off the layers named noble, supreme, After wearing the illustrious royal garb, the so-called heirs of the royal family are no different from ordinary people in their bones. When it comes time to enter the octagonal cage, everyone will compete based on the size of their respective fists.

The truth is not on paper, but on the edge of the sword.

Truth is only within the shooting range of the cannon.

Lu Ze still admires the old man of the Qin family very much. At least the Qin family has been able to sit at the top of the Privy Council and the military in recent years. This old man who is over 70 years old has definitely contributed a lot and even participated in it. The Taiping Courtyard matter was able to go smoothly for so many years.

You know, during the bloody night in Kyoto that year, countless princes, powerful people and their mansions were wiped out.

It's just that the Queen Mother and the Empress were not greatly affected. After all, their identities were special, and the fact that the Qin family's old man could hide safely behind them was naturally related to Emperor Qing's trust.

People say that Chen Pingping is His Majesty’s most trusted old black dog.

But in fact, the old man of the Qin family is the real loyal dog who protects the hospital. Otherwise, Chen Pingping would not transform into Pike and try his best to drag the Qin family into trouble, just to make Emperor Qing This owner can really beat the dog with determination.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince."

"This Lord Tisi attacked me because of what happened at Niulan Street. Don't forget that your uncle was also involved. ”

Walking along the green bricks in the square in front of the palace, the majestic Taiqing Palace in front of me meets the early sun emerging from the eastern horizon, and the golden decorations on the eaves are emitting rays of golden light. Lu Ze whispered behind him, "Our brother in the Fan family is a very vengeful person."

Lu Ze did not look back, but raised a slightly mocking smile at the corner of his mouth. .

My second brother behaved quite calmly at the Moon Worship Tower last night. He recovered quickly after learning the news, but now it seems that as the night passed, he felt hatred in his heart. The seeds gradually took root and sprouted.

Until now, the second prince still naively believed that Fan Xian did not take action against Lu Ze last night

In the Lin family's mansion in Kyoto, the servants in the mansion were The blood-stained courtyard must still be being cleaned. Fan Xian's main target for counterattack this time is the second prince, but there are also killers affiliated with the Overwatch Council on the Lin Cong side.

Fan Xian is indeed very courageous.

If Lu Ze hadn't been prepared in advance and used those dirty tricks in the shadow of the Overwatch Council, even if his second uncle is not low in force now, he might still end up like Xie Bian in the end. end.

The imperial meeting begins.

Emperor Qing, who was on the throne, looked at the ministers in the Taiqing Palace with an incomprehensible expression.

The response to Fan Xian and the Overwatch Council's actions last night quickly began, kicking off the war.

The Overwatch Council does have the responsibility to supervise all officials in Kyoto, but it has never happened before, as it did last night, arresting more than 30 court officials overnight, even though most of them were not high-ranking officials. , but at least he can be regarded as a serious official in the capital.

"I am reporting that Fan Xian, the supervisor of the Supervisory Yuan, has used the country's utensils for personal use"

"I am reporting that the Supervisory Yuan"

Contempts the law and the country Using weapons for personal use, abusing power, and forming cliques for personal gain

The attacks on Fan Xian and the Overwatch Council were very fierce. The civil servants were naturally hostile to the most deformed Overwatch Council in Qing Dynasty, even if they were When Lin Ruofu was prime minister, he also had no favorable impression of the Overwatch Council, a secret agent that belonged exclusively to the emperor.The organization is completely above the legal framework and is the most thoroughly violent organization in the world.

Civil officials, regardless of their faction, all expressed their voices.

The Qing Emperor naturally did not want to see the civil servants and the Supervisory Yuan getting along harmoniously, so the two factions attacking each other became a form of political correctness to a certain extent. It is said that Prime Minister Lin made a eloquent comment that year Dean Chen was really annoyed. Chen Pingping, who couldn't find any reason to refute, spat in Prime Minister Lin's face in front of him, and was fined three months' salary by Emperor Qing afterwards.

What is different this time is that the military also came out to express its dissatisfaction with the invocation of the Overwatch Council.

Originally, the two families were always together when they were in the court. Even if they kept silent, they would not come out to help the civil servants criticize him like they are now. It seemed that the entire court was pressing against Fan Xian.

Emperor Qing had a faint smile on his face.

At this time, he did not ask Fan Xian, but instead focused on Lu Ze.

"Donggong feels that the Supervisory Yuan acted inappropriately"

At this time, everyone's eyes were turned to Lu Ze who was standing out.

Lu Ze looked calm and said softly, "The Supervisory Yuan monitors hundreds of officials. This is its duty. If Mr. Fan arrested all the corrupt officials last night, they are all from our Qing Dynasty court." Damn it, what's the fault of the Overwatch Council?"

As soon as Lu Ze said these words, the entire court suddenly became even deadlier.

Even Fan Xian himself glanced at Lu Ze in surprise at this time, obviously not expecting Lu Ze to speak from his perspective.

Really interesting.

"But Master Xiao Fan's sudden and thunderous move will inevitably disturb the people of Kyoto."

"My Wan'er got up early this morning and hurried to the Lin family. , It turns out that there were big thieves in the Lin Mansion yesterday. Fortunately, the guards in the manor were in time, so there was no big trouble."

"If anything happens to these two uncles, I will be safe. I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to explain to his father-in-law in Wuzhou."

Fan Xian lowered his eyebrows and took the initiative to apologize to Lu Ze, "It was the hospital's negligence. The movement to arrest those corrupt officials was really big."

Last night's operation was not as smooth as he imagined. In the end, it was discovered in the courtyard that a small team had not returned. Lu Ze's skills in the city clearly exceeded Fan Xian's imagination. The prince of the East Palace was obviously The actions of the Control Council were anticipated earlier.

What Fan Xian didn't expect was that Lu Ze would dare to kill people from the Overwatch Council in the Qing capital.

But Fan Xian can only accept this embarrassing loss.

Lin Cong's identity is naturally not that of a court official, but it would not be appropriate to attribute his identity to a man in white clothes.

Fan Xian has no good impression of Lu Ze at all. When he first entered Beijing, he was tricked by this guy several times. Even his favorite girl with chicken legs was abducted by this guy. The most hateful thing was Lu Ze.His status is so special that not even the Overwatch Council can openly challenge the prince.

So, this time, Fan Xian included Communist Party member Lin from the Lin family in the list for this operation.

Unfortunately, I still suffered a big loss.

"If your Majesty grants the Supervisory Yuan's special decree, he will be able to catch more moths." Fan Xian looked seriously, glanced at the ministers in the court, and said seriously, "There are too many people in the court. There are so many corrupt officials, please ask Your Majesty."

Then, Emperor Qing and Fan Xian started to sing.

Lu Ze quietly retreated, knowing that the real drama was coming next. As expected, Emperor Qing brought out the assassination incident in the suburbs of Beijing some time ago, and then directly lit up the Overwatch Council's fire. After losing Kyoto guard Qin Heng, a series of big moves followed.

The Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Husbandry, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate

This time Emperor Qing’s thunderous tactics caught the officials off guard. It turned out that the action of the Supervisory Council last night was just an appetizer. The side dishes served as a foreshadowing for today's main course. Li Chengze's face flashed with astonishment. Although he recovered quickly, his whole person exuded a sense of disappointment. It turned out that what happened yesterday was the same as his father's. By default.

The whetstone

Once upon a time I was the prince's whetstone.

Now I have become Fan Xian’s punching bag again

The emperor then resorted to thunderous measures. At present, the preparation work has been almost done, and many things can be done by taking advantage of today. The opportunity was resolved, so he signaled the eunuch who announced the decree to promulgate the following decree, among which the reduction of power of the Overwatch Council was even more surprising.

This made the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty find it hard to believe.

Although there was a lively criticism of Fan Xian and the Overwatch Council in the court today, in the final analysis, the Overwatch Council is directly taking orders from His Majesty, and it is definitely difficult for His Majesty to make a decision to reduce the power of the Overwatch Council.

When Fan Xian heard this order, his face turned extremely ugly.

Obviously, he did not expect that Emperor Qing’s last move would be to cut down on the salary. Even now that he had just completed the task, Emperor Qing could be so decisive in reducing the power of the Supervisory Yuan who was helping him. .

The rank of the presiding officials in the Overwatch Council has not been reduced, but their power to supervise the officials has been greatly weakened.

The most important thing is that during the interrogation process, exclusive officials from Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment must be present, and it must be completed within the specified time. This has dealt a heavy blow to the independence of the Supervisory Yuan, at least A big move like last night will never happen again easily.

This heavy shackle is clamped on the head of the giant beast of the Overwatch Council.

Fan Xian could only accept the order and thank him.

"Your Majesty."

"Such a large-scale transfer of court officials has not been approved by the court or reviewed by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and it will take time to review each case. It is unreasonable and unreasonable to arrange the transfer of new officials in such a hurry."

Lu, a scholar of Zhongshu University.Bingyi frowned and argued with Emperor Qing.

For these Zhongshu scholars who are truly dedicated to the Qing Dynasty, the battles between parties are secondary. Instead, the problem is that the Qing Emperor's large-scale work that transcends the law and completely regards the rules as nothing. It is far more serious than killing a few corrupt officials.

It's just a pity that Emperor Qing has made up his mind this time, and things are finally done.

At this time, all the civil servants and generals suffered a huge blow, and even the Overwatch Council itself did not get any advantage. The ministers marveled at His Majesty's strong and soft imperial skills, and their anger naturally focused on Fan. Xian, especially those in the Privy Council.

This time even the Kyoto garrison, which had just been in hand for a short time, was forced to hand over.

Although it was because of the assassination in the suburbs of Beijing, everyone still felt indescribably uncomfortable.

Prince Lu Ze’s party was also affected. Of course, the most affected among them was the second prince’s lineage. This sensational court meeting came to an end amidst intense discussions. The real winner seemed to be only the emperor. The one in the seat.

At the entrance of Taiqing Palace, Fan Xian was deliberately waiting for Lu Ze.

This Lord Tisi of the Overwatch Council seemed not to care much about court etiquette, even standing side by side with Lu Ze at this time.

Lu Ze smiled and said directly, "Master Xiao Fan, I have something to do with you."

Although Chen Pingping and Fan Xian had hinted that they did not need to take action against Lu Ze, he was still the same last night. He chose to take action, but he lost a small team of elite members of the Overwatch Council. Even now, he still doesn’t know how the Lin family fell into the gutter.

Fan Xian whispered something to Lu Ze.

Lu Ze's face gradually became calm as he listened to these rebellious words.

"Since you dared to attack my second uncle last night, don't blame me for returning the favor."

"I heard that your younger brother from the Fan family likes planning very much. He pushed Pai Gow and hoped that he could still use his right hand smoothly after today." Lu Ze ignored Fan Xian's increasingly ugly face, chuckled, and left first.
