"Two or three days? Are you crazy? Although the third brother has lost the Ministry of Punishment and the Left Prime Minister, he still has the support of the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Rites. Why don't you wait a little longer?" Pingyang was a little confused. Can't figure it out.
"When?" Fang Zhengzheng asked rhetorically.
"Of course, wait until..." Pingyang said this and closed her mouth. What she wanted to say was to wait until the prince lost power. However, when she thought that the prince was also her third brother, she naturally could not say this.
"The prince is the prince, and the verdict is overturned. If we really have to wait until that time, does it matter whether the verdict is overturned or not?" Fang Zhengzheng looked at Pingyang. Of course he knew what Pingyang meant.
In fact, his current situation can really wait.
It would be meaningless to wait until Prince Duan replaced the Crown Prince, or until the Crown Prince completely lost power in front of the Holy Emperor, to overturn the verdict.
"But it's too difficult to overturn the case now, isn't it? Besides, you... do you have any evidence?" Pingyang nodded in understanding, but soon, she also thought of another question.
Just a Minister of the Ministry of Punishment wants to uncover the cases in the Southern Territory
too difficult!
Regardless of whether Wen Chuan has not yet become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, even if he does, he will be a new official. Whether everyone in the Ministry of Justice is convinced is still a question.
More importantly, Wen Chuan had no evidence in his hands.
Without evidence, it is impossible to uncover the case involving Nanyu and the prince.
Because it is simply impossible for the Holy One to agree.
"Evidence? Of course... none." Fang Zhengzheng shook his head. Apart from the prince, only Su Qing and the eight disciples of the prince's disciples knew about the affairs of the Southern Territory.
And those eight disciples had already been eliminated by the prince.
Even Su Qing, who is the only one who knows about this matter, is now far away in the Northern Desert, serving as the governor of the five northern desert prefectures. The most important thing is that it is absolutely impossible for Su Qing to testify for Fang Zhengyi.
"Without evidence, how could my father agree to reverse the case?" Pingyang asked doubtfully.
"You will know after you try it." Fang Zhengzhi did not continue to explain, or he did not know how to explain it now, because he himself was not sure about the final success or failure of the matter.
"Okay, when do you want to try?"
"She should be here in two or three days!"
"Her? Could it be that you are talking about the one who is going to Beijing soon..."
"Yes." Fang Zhengzheng nodded and looked at the heavy rain still falling outside the window. It has been more than a year, and what is supposed to come will eventually come.
…
At night, the rain has gradually lightened up, falling in waves, and drops of raindrops rolling down from the grass and flower petals.
In Yanjing City, in a quiet mansion.
A figure was sitting in a small pavilion in the courtyard, slender fingers gently playing with the guqin in front of him, emitting an ethereal and melodious sound.
The evening breeze blew gently, carrying the drizzle that drifted into the pavilion, and the pure white dress danced lightly in the wind. A faint brilliance fell from the sky, and faint spots of light appeared on the white dress.
Yun Qingwu, the young master of the Demon Clan, controls the Demon Soldiers of the Ten Domains of the Demon Clan.
However, she appeared in Yanjing City, the capital of the Great Xia Dynasty. This was something that was unimaginable, but it was a fact.
"Young Master!" A man covered in a black cloak walked in from the small courtyard and stopped far in front of Yun Qingwu.
"Yes." Yun Qingwu did not raise her head to look at the man, but responded softly.
"The matter that the young master asked his subordinates to investigate has been cleared up. Wu Yu'er is on his way to Yanjing City now. In addition, the King of the Southern Territory will also arrive in Yanjing City in two days!"
"In two days, Wu Yu'er, the King of the South Territory, and Yan Qianli have all come, um... I understand." Yun Qingwu nodded, and then she also raised her hand from the strings of the guqin, Feng Qingwu He raised his eyes slightly and looked towards the sky: "Have you found out where Bai Xing is being held now?"
"Not yet, but..." The man was about to say that he had inferred from his subordinates, but when the words reached his lips, he took it back because he knew that Yun Qingwu didn't like to infer.
In Yun Qingwu's mind, only things that have been confirmed can be called intelligence.
"If you can't find it, there's no need to check it. Just send this letter to Pingyang Mansion."
"yes!"
…
The next day, early morning.
When the rain stopped, a ray of sunshine fell from the sky, shining on the Jinluan Hall. The top of the Jinluan Hall was dyed with a faint golden color. In the morning after the rain, a ray of colorful clouds rose.
All the civil and military officials walked out of the Jinluan Palace, and they all congratulated a middle-aged man and rushed to hand out invitations.
The middle-aged man is of course Wen Chuan.
The former right minister of the Ministry of Punishment, now the minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
No one thought that the fight for the position of Minister of the Ministry of Punishment would end in this way. The two ministers on the left and middle were all imprisoned.
Only the right servant, Wenchuan, was left.
Although such an outcome was indeed inevitable, it still shocked the civil and military officials.
"Hahaha, Mr. Wen is promoted today, so don't forget to take the time to come to my mansion to get together!"
"I heard that Mr. Wen's son has also reached adulthood and is not yet married. My daughter is just waiting for a bride. If Mr. Wen..."
"As far as I know, Mr. Qin's little daughter seems to be only fourteen years old, right? Mr. Wen, why not consider one of my nieces, who is similar in age to Mr. Wen!"
The courtiers crowded around Wenchuan and tried their best to disturb him.
Since ancient times, there has been a gap between being a minister and a minister. Many people have been stagnant throughout their lives, but once they cross it, they become great in one fell swoop.
One of the six ministerial books.
This is a treatment worthy of being recorded in the annals of history.
"My son is still young and has nothing to do. It is really my son's good fortune to be respected by everyone. However... I still need to ask my son for his own opinion on this matter." Wen Chuan waved his hand gently and said to He saluted the surrounding courtiers.
"Okay, of course!"
"Master Wen is truly a role model for us. This fairness alone is enough to impress us. Under the leadership of Master Wen, the Criminal Department will surely prosper!"
"Yes, it's booming!"
None of the civil and military officials were angry because of Wen Chuan's delay. Instead, they continued to win the praise.
At this time, Prince Lin Tianrong also walked out of the gate of Jinluan Palace, his silver brocade clothes shining with a faint brilliance under the sunlight.
"Cough!" Prince Lin Tianrong coughed lightly. When he saw Wen Chuan, a warm smile appeared on his face, and he quickly came to Wen Chuan.
Seeing the arrival of Prince Lin Tianrong, all the courtiers were slightly surprised. After all, this was the entrance to the Jinluan Palace.
The Daxia Dynasty has always had regulations that prohibit friendship between princes and court officials.
Are you going to start causing trouble now
Each of the courtiers were surprised, but they also wisely stepped aside.
"Master Wen!" Prince Lin Tianrong spoke first.
"I have met His Highness the Crown Prince." Wen Chuan also saluted immediately after seeing the Crown Prince Lin Tianrong.
"Well, Sir Wen, you don't have to be polite. I heard that Mr. Wen once served in the Poshan Army of Zhenguo Mansion. From what I see, there are not many young people who dare to fight in the army. If Wen If you have time, you might as well take your young master to the East Palace for a walk." Prince Lin Tianrong said calmly.
When the other courtiers heard this, they all understood clearly in their hearts. Sure enough, they were going to start causing trouble. They were trying to show favor to the young master of Wen Chuan.
Although, Prince Lin Tianrong's behavior is obviously a bit anxious.
However, the courtiers all understood the thoughts of Prince Lin Tianrong. Now the left prime minister Yu Yiping was temporarily detained, the Minister of Punishment Wan Chong was imprisoned in Dali Prison, and the Minister of War Shen Ming was kneeling at Shili Lake.
With this series of events, it is really impossible to say that Prince Lin Tianrong is not anxious at all.
"Thank you, His Highness the Crown Prince. I will definitely take Quan Zi to the East Palace to meet the Crown Prince in person when I have time!" Wen Chuan heard this and nodded as well, with a respectful look on his face.
"Very good." Prince Lin Tianrong nodded. Just as he was about to say something more, a cold light flashed in his eyes, because at this time, another figure had also walked out of the Golden Palace.
Unlike Prince Lin Tianrong, Prince Duan Lin Xinjue looked obviously much happier.
In any case, the current situation is favorable to him. What's more, although Wen Chuan has been in the Ministry of Justice for many years, everyone knows that he has not been taken seriously.
The prince was in power, but Wenchuan was not taken seriously.
The meaning here is too obvious. Now that Wen Chuan has become the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, it is naturally a rare opportunity for him.
"Master Wen!" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue greeted Wen Chuan without paying attention to the prince Lin Tianrong next to him. There was also a smile on his face.
"I have met His Highness Prince Duan!" Wen Chuan bowed again.
"I heard that Mr. Wen once served in the Poshan Army of the Zhenguo Mansion, and my military sect is currently lacking some bloody men. I just wonder if Mr. Wen is willing to give it up?" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue said with a smile.
"Haha, His Highness Duan Wang was joking. It is a blessing for the dog to be able to train in the army. What is there to be reluctant to part with? On behalf of the dog, I would like to thank His Highness Duan Wang for his kindness!" Wen Chuan quickly returned the greeting.
"Okay, I think tomorrow will be good. If Mr. Wen is free, you can ask him to come to me!" Prince Duan Lin Xinjue nodded and continued.
"Sixth brother, are you a little anxious?" Prince Lin Tianrong frowned slightly when he heard this.
"Are you anxious? It should be the third brother who is anxious, right?" Duan Wang Lin Xinjue asked.
"Hmph!" Prince Lin Tianrong snorted coldly, and then looked at Wen Chuan again: "Master Wen, I have to prepare for the trip to Beijing in the Southern Territory, so I'll take my leave first!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Congratulations to Your Highness the Crown Prince!"
When Wen Chuan and the surrounding civil and military officials heard this, they all bowed in unison.
When Prince Duan Lin Xinjue saw Prince Lin Tianrong leaving, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he spoke again: "The King of the Southern Territory is about to come to Beijing, and I have to prepare for the situation, so I'll go ahead."
"Congratulations to His Highness Prince Duan!"
"Congratulations to His Highness Prince Duan!"
Wen Chuan and the civil and military officials bowed again.
With the departure of Prince Lin Tianrong and Prince Duan Lin Xinjue, all the civil and military officials could not help but sigh in their hearts.
Usually, the Ministry of Justice has not been taken seriously among the six departments, because almost all the princes will focus on the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Personnel, but today, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Justice is extremely popular.
No matter who is sitting in this position, it is considered extremely brilliant.
Like the Crown Prince and Prince Duan did today, they started soliciting as soon as they walked out of the Golden Palace. This was something that was impossible to see in the past.
In just a few days, the situation in the DPRK has undergone such huge changes.
And all this...
When the civil and military officials thought of this, a name came to mind, a name that they had never looked at in the past.
Fang Zhengzheng!
As soon as they entered Yanjing City, Wan Chong, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was imprisoned. Then, overnight, Yu Yiping, the Prime Minister of the Left, fell again, and Shen Ming, the Minister of the Ministry of War, was also implicated. How incredible this is.
Now that Wen Chuan has become the Minister of Justice, who he will eventually choose to serve has become a matter of speculation among the civil and military officials.
After all, whether it is Wanchong, the former Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Yu Yiping, the Prime Minister of the Left, or Wanchong, the Minister of the Ministry of War, no matter which one, it is a huge case.
And none of these cases must first go through the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
To put it bluntly, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wen Chuan is now holding the tail of Prince Lin Tianrong and controlling the future of Prince Duan Lin Xinjue.
…
Two days later, at noon, the sun was shining brightly.
At the east gate of Yanjing City, red silks and satins were hung all over the city wall, making the entire Yanjing City look full of joy.
Two rows of sergeants wearing bright armor and holding long spears guarded the city from the city gate to one mile outside the city.
Countless people gathered at the city gate, standing on tiptoe and looking around.
The king of the Southern Territory came to Beijing, which was definitely a first-class event for the Great Xia Dynasty. After all, the Southern Territory was the largest state of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Relations between countries have always been a top priority.
However, since the battle more than a year ago, this is the first time that the Southern Territory has sent someone to Beijing, and the person who came is the King of the Southern Territory.
"I heard that the King of the Southern Territory is only twenty years old!"
"Yes, and I heard that she is very beautiful. I really want to see her."
"Shh, don't say such frivolous words again. If you are overheard, you could be beheaded."
The people were discussing in low voices.
At this time, a black spot slowly appeared in the distance. The black spot quickly expanded, and a rumbling sound also came from the distance.
"Woo!"
A long horn sounded, and drums sounded instantly.
"Come on, come on, the King of the Southern Territory is here!"
"Wow, you are worthy of being the King of the Southern Territory. Isn't this scene so spectacular?"
When the people looked at the spectacular procession from far to near, their eyes lit up and they cheered.
After all, for them, it is also a rare opportunity to see the King of the Southern Territory enter the capital up close. (To be continued.)
