Chapter 123: The Eight Dragon City Incident (five updates completed)

This failure made everyone in Kyushu Institute of Physics realize more deeply that aeronautics is not that simple.

It’s not just that you can create something that can fly by understanding some aerodynamics.

The enthusiasm has not faded. But life must go on.

The more I started to learn, the deeper I got.

——-

A month later, in early March. Great changes occurred in Balong City.

Paper cannot cover fire, and it will never be able to contain it.

Xun Jiayuan used to at least go to court openly, but he has not appeared in court for several months. Everyone began to feel uneasy, and everyone began to investigate and speculate.

Not only the prince Xun Shifei noticed the strange phenomenon in the palace, but also the eighth prince.

Although the eighth prince Xun Shitian was weak in spirit, he was also smart enough. He also gradually discovered some clues.

Finally, on March 5th, Xun Shitian learned that Yuan Chengpi had changed the memorial and played with Kyushu.

He did not impulsively expose it. He had the same concerns as Xun Shifei. If his father was allowed to take charge of the court again, would it be some kind of disaster

Xun Shitian was devastated and found his only think tank, Du Taiping. After he told this matter to Du Taiping, Du Taiping was not too surprised and just fell into deep thought.

"Actually, I've discovered the clues a long time ago. The Emperor spends his days deep in the palace studying spaceships. But the memorials were reviewed in an orderly manner, so I've discovered such clues a long time ago."

"Then what should we do now? Yuan Cheng's matter is a big deal, a huge deal. He actually occupied the magpie's nest and played with me for so long..."

As Xun Shitian talked, he felt a little frightened.

After a long time, Du Taiping breathed out heavily: "Good thing."

"What? Is this a good thing?"

Du Taiping nodded firmly: "For the Eighth Prince, it is a good thing."

"What's good for me?"

"This is an opportunity. There are many obstacles for the Eighth Prince to ascend the throne, because now the entire Kyushu has become calm, and the officials in the government and the public do not want chaos. But now, if there is no chaos, we have to create chaos. The most important thing is, Yuan I don’t like the Eighth Prince."

A cold look flashed in Xun Shitian's eyes, which was true. He could naturally feel that Yuan Cheng didn't like him at all, and even disliked him a little. Just because of face, his performance has always been remarkable.

This is a serious problem. In the past, whether Yuan Chengxi liked Xun Shitian or not, it didn't matter to him. But now he knows that Yuan Cheng is in charge of power. He is almost the Emperor of the Night. You can think of the impact this has on the Eighth Prince with your big toe.

"What should we do?"

Du Taiping sneered: "If you cause trouble to the imperial court, you will naturally be exposed and severely punished."

“…”

On the night of the 5th, the eighth prince entered the imperial city with important officials and led the imperial army to Yuan Cheng's residence.

It was dark, and Yuan Cheng, who had just returned to his residence with a large pile of memorials in his arms, had not yet had time to light a lamp. Suddenly I heard a roar outside.

His face changed wildly, and he naturally knew something was wrong, so he hurriedly hid the memorial under the bed. Before he could hide it, the door was kicked open with a loud bang.

The heavily armed Imperial Guards filed in.

"Hands on your head!"

"Get down on the ground, stay down!"

With a loud shout, the musket was loaded.

Yuan Cheng's face turned pale, and he sighed deeply, then placed the memorial that he had not yet had time to hide on the bed with trembling hands, his eyes covered with a layer of deathly gray, and he lay down on the ground.

'Crash!' The Imperial Army moved.

Thick ropes tied it up tightly.

The Eighth Prince, Du Taiping, and Qian Mao walked in with a large number of officials from the central government. Looking at the memorial in the room and the jade seal on the desk, they all sighed in silence.

Caught it now!

On the night of the 5th, a big news spread throughout Balong City.

"The eunuchs are disrupting the government."

"Yuan Cheng, an internal official in the imperial court, used absurd spaceships to confuse the emperor of the day, deceived the public with his monstrous words, and secretly reviewed the memorial."

"Yuan Cheng has huge ambitions and wants to occupy the entire Kyushu."

"Yuan Cheng's evil words deceived the people and confused the emperor, trying to take the opportunity to ascend to power, seek power and usurp the throne, and rewrite the history of Kyushu."

"Yuan Cheng was reported and exposed by his subordinates, and he was sued by the heroic and mighty Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince led the imperial army and captured Yuan Cheng immediately."

"No wonder the world is in chaos recently. It turns out that the emperor was deceived by his internal officials."

"This damn official!"

“…”

One piece of news, like the wind, blew throughout the entire Kyushu.

Deep in the palace, Xun Jiayuan's eyes were full of worry and resentment.

What worries him is that he is afraid that others will know that he ordered Yuan Cheng to do it, and that his reputation will be affected. What makes me angry is, who made the report

In the early morning, a body was found in the inner courtyard of the palace that had hanged itself. This man's surname was Zhang, and he was also an internal official. Usually he is Yuan Cheng's pony.

Suicide out of fear of crime.

Yuan Cheng's intention to rebel was revealed by the little-known internal official surnamed Zhang.

Xun Jiayuan looked at the hanged corpse with strong hatred in his eyes, but he said in a sad tone: "Alas. Thanks to your report and exposure, I was not deceived by the eunuchs, and I didn't have time to thank you again. But you committed suicide... give yourself a good burial."

“…”

In the early morning of the 5th, Yuan Cheng recruited all the prisoners in prison.

"Since when did you start to confuse the emperor?"

"It's been a while, I can't remember clearly."

"Why do you use evil words to confuse the people and confuse the emperor?"

Yuan Cheng smiled bitterly and looked at his family members standing in the interrogation room: "For my own selfish desires, I accidentally discovered the ancient ruins explored by Gu Ke and told the emperor. I confused the emperor and became addicted to it, and then I took the opportunity to exploit the loophole. , The one who satisfies his own power and brings trouble to Jiuzhou."

"What's your purpose?"

"The purpose is to gain greater power and control greater power. Use power for personal gain and corruption. Gain money and status." Yuan Cheng's eyes flashed with sadness.

"Did anyone tell you to do this?"

"No."

"You are already a close minister of the Emperor, why are you still not satisfied?"

"Because of greed, I want to get more power, more money, and more status."

"Do you know your guilt?"

"Convicted."

“…”

Morning on the 6th.

Above the court, Xun Jiayuan said with compassion on his face: "Fortunately, my son warned me early, so I didn't fall into the traitor's trap. I am guilty, I am guilty."

Crying, Xun Jiayuan bumped his head against the table.

All the officials were alarmed and quickly stopped him.

Xun Jiayuan sighed: "It's all because I want to benefit the people of Jiuzhou too much and contribute to scientific progress. I am guilty. I have sinned against myself. I want to tell the world that I am guilty. I was almost deceived by the traitor. One misstep will lead to eternal hatred."

“…”

A self-incriminating edict was completed in the eyes of the officials in the court who looked sorry but were actually indifferent.

No one is stupid.

In this entire court, no one is simple-minded. They understand better than anyone why Yuan Cheng gained such power. Without the emperor's approval, Yuan Cheng did not dare to even take a glance at the memorial.

Qian Mao smiled bitterly and shook his head. We all cried together with you. Even Yuan Cheng cooperated...
