Gu Cangping was very smart. He did not let Zhao Bairen investigate who was behind the assassination of the prince, because it would be easy for him to get involved.
There are many people in the world who have the courage and motivation to assassinate the prince... They can be counted on one hand. No matter whether they are counting up or down, they are not the ones that Gu Cangping can afford to offend. Once the emperor suddenly has a twitch in his head and clapped his hands and said "Love" "Sir, then I will leave it to you to lead the investigation or assist in the investigation of this case." Then wouldn't he just sit on his hands and feet
If we really find a big shot, should we report it to the police, or should we hide it
Reporting it to the police, although it can severely defeat political opponents, is still a shocking matter. There is a high probability that the emperor will conceal this matter and reduce it to a major matter.
After all, this is likely to be a terrible royal scandal that will make everyone in the world laugh.
Once a ruler loses his majesty, he loses the legitimacy of his rule. This is something that no ruler can tolerate.
If he kept it secret, Gu Cangping would naturally have political stains, which would be tantamount to giving others a handle.
Therefore, the assassination of the prince was a shocking case, but no one dared to mention it or touch it.
Even a bold character like Gu Cangping only dares to save the country in a roundabout way and uses this case to attack political opponents.
Yes, I dare not touch the mastermind behind it, but how did the mastermind know the whereabouts of the prince? This can always be checked, right? How did the mastermind behind the scenes hook up with the two big demons in the spiritual world? This can always be investigated, right
It would be scary to check this further.
Officials of the prince's line hold the sword of Shangfang, and have great power to thoroughly investigate any official in the government and the public, except the emperor, and even princes and marquises.
That kind of situation and situation is definitely not what the prince and other hostile forces want to see.
But if any official stands up to oppose it, it is simply courting death.
The prince was assassinated and you actually opposed the investigation? What do you want to do? Is there something wrong with you? Not asking for it
Agreeing with it is tantamount to Tai'a holding it against his will and giving someone a magical weapon to kill him; opposing it is tantamount to giving someone a handle and throwing himself into a trap.
For a moment, the officials from the fourth prince's line took a breath of air and looked at Gu Cang as if he were a devil.
This is Gu Cangping's conspiracy!
No matter how you choose, you will fall into his trap!
Zhang Datong is the spiritual leader of the prince's officials, Ning Tongyi is the chief think tank of the country's decision-making around the prince, and Gu Cangping, a mid-level official, can become one of the core members of the prince's group because of his unpredictable conspiracy and irresistible conspiracy!
For a time, the court fell into a brief silence, and you could hear a pin drop.
Immediately afterwards, all the officials from the prince's line were happy and stepped forward one after another: "I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"I second my opinion, please Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly!"
"I second the proposal!"
Suddenly, a terrifying trend quickly arose in the court, and the officials of the Fourth Prince's line were about to lose their armor and be defeated.
At this time, the biggest flaw of the fourth prince's line was exposed: the power of the court was far inferior to that of the prince's line.
Just like the biggest flaw of the Prince's family is the lack of support from the spiritual community, so that they have never had high-end and powerful combat power as backing support, and they almost lost everything when they encountered a daring assassination.
The shortcomings of the fourth prince are just the opposite of those of the prince. Although the fourth prince has the support of the Qiankun Divine Religion, compared with the prince's official connections and prestige, it seems very weak. In the court, he is completely like a younger brother.
Da Qi's imperial court is similar to the three provinces and six ministries system, and the official system is complex and huge. But to sum it up simply: the Zhongshu Province is similar to the cabinet, which is an organization that controls secrets and issues decrees. There are five prime ministers, one prime minister, two prime ministers, and two deputy prime ministers. When the emperor does not attend the small court meeting, three of the five people must be on duty. During the large court meeting where the emperor attends, the five people must be on duty unless there are special reasons. The cabinet composed of these five people is directly responsible to the emperor or the prince who oversees the country. The emperor or prince provides decision-making advice and decides where this huge empire should go.
The Ministry of Menxia was responsible for attending to the emperor, advising on all affairs, advising and responding to the emperor's outings, and accompanying the attendants on rides, etc. It was an administrative agency that was close to the emperor, easily influenced by others, and had great influence, but did not have much real power.
The Shangshu Province is the bureaucratic center of the entire empire and the highest administrative agency. The six ministries of the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Ministry of Industry are set up under the Shangshu Province. The six ministers are the highest administrators of this department, and their powers are only Second to the prime minister. When the prime ministers help the emperor make decisions, and after the emperor issues his decree, they decide how and where the empire should go.
The Qiankun Divine Sect has been operating for many years, and its tentacles have long been extended to the court. Although they cannot be officials, it does not prevent them from influencing and controlling some officials to turn to them.
Among them, Yang He, the prime minister in the cabinet, was an extremely rare lone minister in Da Qi. He was neither an official of the prince's line, nor an official of the four princes' line. He was only loyal to the emperor.
The two prime ministers are all officials from the prince's lineage, and the remaining two deputy prime ministers, one is supported by the Qiankun Divine Religion, and the other is from the fourth prince's lineage.
But although the prime minister has decision-making power in the cabinet, he has no veto power. Compared with the prime minister who vetoes with one vote, he is the younger brother. The deputy prime minister is even worse in the cabinet. He only has the right to make suggestions but no decision-making power. He belongs to his younger brother. The younger brother.
The remaining six ministers were also firmly in the hands of the emperor Zhao Bairen. They also hold the servants in their hands.
Among the six bureaus, the minister is the official second only to the minister and has great power in his hands.
This shows the prince's power in the court!
The biggest problem with the Fourth Prince's family is that the wise man among them is Dong Daoming, and this man... is not even a ninth-grade official. He is just the chief of staff around the Fourth Prince, and his identity cannot even be revealed to the public.
Almost all the wisdom around the fourth prince comes from him alone. On the prince's side, the wise man Gu Cangping himself is in the middle of the court. Not only can he hide behind him, but he can also go into battle shirtless at critical times.
And when he appeared on the stage, he immediately had the effect of standing up and shouting. The officials of the prince's line moved with the wind, and immediately the storm surged, creating an astonishing trend.
On the other hand, the Fourth Prince was leaderless. Even if there was any objection, he would not speak out.
At this time, the five big bosses in the cabinet were all pretending to be dead like puppets without saying a word, as if the affairs in the court had nothing to do with them.
The six ministers and ministers were even more concerned about matters that had nothing to do with them. They were senior officials and would not easily get into trouble. Once they were involved, it would mean losing an important position and the losses would be extremely heavy.
But seeing that the crown prince's side was about to make a final decision, Ma Ce, the deputy prime minister on the fourth prince's side, became a little anxious. He turned back slightly and winked at an official four rows behind him.
The fifth-rank official understood this and came out loudly: "I would like to investigate carefully the case of Taiyang Governor Li Tian who neglected his duties and harmed the people! Such unscrupulous officials are still wearing the black gauze, which is really a sign of Daqi." What a disgrace, I hope Your Majesty will understand clearly!"
This official did not dare to confront Gu Cangping's conspiracy, so he had no choice but to turn his gun and hit the other prince where it hurt most, in order to achieve the purpose of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao.
Who is Gu Cangping? How could he not respond
Gu Cangping's eyes widened, his momentum was astonishing, and he shouted sternly: "At this time, we are discussing the leakage of the prince's whereabouts, and strictly investigating the case of the assassination of the prince by the two evil masters behind the scenes, Jue Wuji and Leiyun Laoyao! Li Zhuohua, you are confusing the public. What’s your intention! Could it be that there’s something evil in your mind!”
Sure enough, as soon as the big hat was put on, Li Zhuohua knelt down and kowtowed: "I don't dare! I'm just asking your Majesty to find out the case of Prefect Li Tian!"
Gu Cangping immediately said: "Then we will discuss it later! At this time, we should discuss this matter first!"
After saying that, Gu Cangping knelt down to Zhao Bairen and said, "Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"
One of the supervisory censors of the fourth prince line jumped out at this moment, pointed at Gu Cangping and yelled angrily: "You are treacherous! Gu Cangping, you colluded with hundreds of officials for ulterior motives! Are you trying to force the palace? This is the courtesy of a minister. !"
Gu Cang didn't change his expression and said loudly: "What I said is what the people want and the general trend! Why force the palace to say it? If Your Majesty feels that I am rude, I will crash and die in front of the Nine Dragon Pillar on the spot!"
After saying that, Gu Cangping lowered his head and was about to hit a huge stone pillar next to him.
Zhao Bairen said quickly: "Oh, it's nonsense, it's nonsense! Stop it, stop it!!"
Li Chengfeng saw it clearly at the end. Although he was a layman, he could also see at this time that the officials of the prince's line had already won a complete victory. Gu Cangping's attack from the sky was like a flying fairy, which hit the fourth prince's line at once. The official's weakness was the angle they didn't expect, which suddenly ruined all their preparations. They were forced into a blind corner by Gu Cangping at a loss and made all kinds of ugly appearances.
Zhao Bairen said at this time: "This matter is not a trivial matter, and we must investigate it to the end! However, I heard that there was a righteous cultivator who took action on the way and saved the prince. Is this person ever in the main hall?"
This is nonsense. Without the emperor's summons, how could Li Chengfeng appear here
Li Chengfeng knew that it was time for him to appear on the stage. He straightened his clothes, stepped forward, raised his head, knelt on the ground, and said loudly: "Li Chengfeng, I am here to pay my respects to Your Majesty!"
