Hearing the words of the eldest son of the Minister of War, the commander of the Imperial City Division sneered.
If you are so confident now, don't be stupid if you wait a while.
The Imperial City Division was very fast, and in a short time, they searched the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War.
Then someone came to report.
"My lord, we have found some remnants of the four families, and they are in the secret room of Shangshu Mansion."
"No way, absolutely impossible."
As soon as these words came out, the eldest son of the Minister of War was immediately dumbfounded.
How could there be remnants of those four families in his own house? They had been secretly transferred away by his father long ago.
"Bring it up."
In this regard, the commander of the Imperial City Division had no nonsense and waved his hand to indicate that the people should be brought up.
Soon, several remnants of the four families were brought to the front yard, and the eldest son of the Minister of War's family was stunned when he saw these people.
How is this possible? How is this possible? This person was obviously transferred away by his father. Why is he here
His eyes were full of disbelief, and the commander of the Imperial City Department said with a smile.
"My lord, is there anything else you want to say?"
"Slander, this is slander. I want to see my father and His Highness the Crown Prince. This is someone slandering my family."
He shouted his grievances loudly, but unfortunately, his grievances were ignored at all.
It is true that someone is making false accusations about plotting against his family, and this person is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, so even if they see him, what's the use
With a wave of his hand, the commander of the Imperial City Department directly ordered his men to start taking people.
"The Minister of War protected the imperial prisoners, and everyone was thrown into the sky prison, waiting to be punished."
For a time, the entire Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War was completely in chaos. The Imperial City Department was arresting people frantically. No one in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War was spared from top to bottom.
From the servants to the madam, they were all arrested by the Imperial City Division.
At the same time, news came back in the palace that the Minister of War was harboring the remnants of these four families.
Hearing that the Imperial City Secretary had found the remnants of those four families in his own home, the Minister of War was completely dumbfounded. How could this be possible
Then he looked at Lu Changqing in disbelief. He had obviously sent him away, so there was only one explanation, that is, the Imperial City Division had sent him back again.
This was all a game from the beginning, and it was a dead game.
Being able to be the Minister of War, he is certainly not stupid. He has seen a lot of dark methods in the court, and he quickly thought of this.
It's a pity that the current situation didn't give him a chance to think too much, because after hearing the news, Xiao Lao had already stepped forward in anger and was ready to take action.
"As expected, it was you. You were the one who colluded with those four major families, right?"
As he said that, he planned to kill the Minister of War on the spot, as if he wanted to avenge his mother.
Seeing this, Lu Changqing quickly stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Lao.
"Brother Xiao, wait a minute, I will definitely give you an explanation on this matter."
"What explanation? Could it be that you want to protect this person?"
"How could it be possible? Brother Xiao, please rest assured that I will not let go of anyone related to this matter."
"Okay, you'd better remember what you said, otherwise my world will never end."
"Definitely, please don't worry, Brother Xiao."
Several people sang in harmony, and Lu Changqing even made a guarantee in front of all the ministers present.
Then someone ordered the Minister of War to be imprisoned directly in the sky prison.
When things have developed to this point, many ministers have different thoughts. The arrest of the Minister of War, they believe this is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more drastic actions next.
After Lu Changqing said a few more words, the meeting ended.
Many ministers left one after another, but they seemed to be discussing something.
Especially the officials from King Qi's line gathered together and said solemnly.
"It seems that the royal family is determined to take action against us."
"The Minister of War and the others don't dare to kill them yet, but we have to guard against them."
"What should we do?"
"Gather the troops and horses in hand, and contact the major families as soon as possible. Although everyone has different factions, other families will not agree to the royal family slaughtering ministers like this. They will not know the simple truth of death."
"Well, that's all it can do now."
There are military generals in the line of King Qi, and although the royal family does not allow them to command troops, in fact, these generals can still mobilize tens of thousands of soldiers in the imperial capital.
This is also a considerable force. After all, these 10,000 soldiers are all warriors. Once a riot breaks out, it will definitely have a big impact on the imperial capital.
As for contacting major aristocratic families, it is also to put pressure on the royal family.
There is no room for such a massacre of court ministers, so a statement must be made.
On the other side, Lu Changqing, who left the main hall, returned with Xiao Yao, Xiao Lao and others. During this period, Xiao Yao said with a smile.
"There will be nothing for us to do next, right?"
Today's play is over, and the next step is Lu Changqing's own business. Whether they can do it or not has nothing to do with them.
In response, Lu Changqing also nodded.
"Well, I'm going to trouble Brother Xiao and Brother Lin today."
"It's just a small matter."
After chatting for a while, Xiao Yao, Xiao Lao and the others returned to their residence, while Lu Changqing went to look for Lu Huangji.
On the way back, Xiao Lao asked strangely.
"We're just going to put on a show and be done with it?"
"What do you think? Are we allowed to fight with those court officials? Lu Changqing's purpose is just to provide a reason and pressure."
"I don't understand why it would be so troublesome to kill a few ministers. Even the elders of those sects kill them casually."
In Xiao Lao's view, Lu Changqing was really just a mother-in-law, just a few ministers, so they could just kill him, so why bother with so much trouble.
"It's different. The Dynasty is not a sect after all, and the relationship is much more complicated."
To establish a sect, you only need to pay attention to the cultivation of your disciples, the strength of the sect, and the number of strong men.
But it would be very troublesome to establish a country. Moreover, the relationship between the emperor and his ministers was, to put it bluntly, different from the relationship between the sect leader and the elders.
is completely different.
Therefore, if Lu Changqing wants to kill everyone in King Qi's family, he must have a legitimate reason to silence others.
And the reason must be such that the ministers have nothing to say.
Wan Qian Da Jie obviously satisfies this point.
"Sister, the first step was successful."
"Well, let's continue."
In the harem, Lu Huangji nodded lightly after hearing Lu Changqing's words. She didn't seem to be worried at all about matters above the court.
Indeed, such preparations have been made. If it still fails, then Lu Changqing will be too stupid.
But now is the time to really start. It won't be long before a minister comes to see Lu Changqing.
