Kyoto, Prime Minister's Mansion.

Since everyone in the plum garden next door left, Ji Tai's mood has become beautiful.

During those days, even his dreams were sweet.

But such days did not last long, and he began to have sleepless nights again.

Because something abnormal happened in the DPRK!

The admonishers of the Supervision Department have been busy behind closed doors for several days. All the officials belonging to his department in the court were frightened, thinking that a thunder sword launched by the Imperial City Department would fall on their heads.

.

But they never expected that just today, people from the Imperial City Department would indeed be dispatched.

Indeed, people began to be arrested in various government offices.

But they were not arrested.

Instead, they captured their former opponents!

When their opponents were roaring and being mercilessly escorted away by the people of the Imperial City Department out of reluctance, it took them a long time to wake up.

All the monks Zhang Er were confused.

What is going on?

Is it possible that the eldest grandson of the Imperial City Department, Jinghong, is actually a member of Prime Minister Ji?

Otherwise, why would they arrest those officials who claimed to be innocent?

They should catch themselves!

I have prepared my funeral, but those brats did not take my own life. Instead, they killed all the ministers who thought they had seen hope!

Among them were Qi Wenjun, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Li Wenhou, the Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, Han Yue, the Minister of the Ministry of War, and other officials.

Is this play written against the grain?

Many officials poured into the Yizheng Hall that day, but Ji Tai did not answer them a word.

Even Ji Tai left the court early and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He sent people to invite Duke Yan and Duke Luo.

The door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was closed, and there were dozens of fierce guards guarding the door. This made the neighbors in Changyue Alley suddenly feel like a storm was coming.

Those who pass by here will look at the closed door of the Plum Garden, and they will also secretly glance at the heavily guarded door of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

I heard that Master Xiao Li went to Shuangjiao Mountain to suppress the bandits, but there is no news yet, and I don’t know when Mr. Xiao Li will be able to come back, or when he will be able to reopen the gate of Meiyuan.

But then I heard that something big happened in the palace today.

Mr. Xiao Li renovated the Supervision Department a few days ago and invited back some old people from the Supervision Department.

At that time, I heard that Master Xiao Li was going to take action against the traitorous officials of Ji Tai's family, which made the people of Kyoto happy and excited. However, the news coming today is exactly the opposite... This of course made the people of Kyoto extremely disappointed.

Mr. Xiao Li, what exactly does this mean?

Could it be that he has surrendered to Ji Tai?

Or maybe he has the status of the emperor's eldest son and now has a taste of power. He wants to move up to the next level and aspire to the throne?

So, he needs Ji Tae's full help?

This is the best explanation currently.

Otherwise, why would the people from the Imperial City Department arrest all the good officials in the court who were few in number?

And those officials who are greedy and bend the law have nothing to do with it.

As for suppressing bandits, it was just a play for the emperor to see, letting the emperor know that he was not only a poet, but also capable of leading troops in war.

People who read this book a lot... are cunning!

How many people have you deceived by pretending to be that hypocritical person?

I thought he would be another Shang Prime Minister of Ningguo, but in the end he was deceived.

As a result, the door of Meiyuan gradually became an eyesore in the eyes of these people.

After all, they are all the same!

After doing this for so long, they finally ended up working together!

Bah!

Many people in Kyoto felt resentment towards Li Chenan in their hearts.

Li Chenan was a light in their hearts before, but now, this light has been extinguished, making them feel a chill and at the same time they have once again lost their expectations for Ning Guo's future.

But in Ji Tai's eyes, that light is still there.

It almost blinded his old eyes!

"What a plan!"

Ji Tai picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea for Duke Yan and Duke Luo. He put down the teapot, stroked his long beard, leaned back slightly, and said:

"The meaning of Li Chenan's move means that when he returns to Kyoto, he will cause a bloody storm in the temple!"

"Those officials seem to have been imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice by people from the Imperial City Division, but in fact they are to protect them... In my opinion, Li Chenan is prepared to be unreasonable!"

Duke Yan frowned slightly, "So, he is going to overturn the chessboard?"

"Um,"

Ji Tai nodded slightly, "I thought he would adopt a soft and gentle approach to this boy."

"He asked the Ministry of Industry to repair the Supervision Department, and then invited some old people from the Supervision Department back, and the evidence that the Imperial City Department had in its possession over the years..."

"I thought this was a bluff, and its purpose was to force some of the officials who were not firm enough to stand beside me to rebel."

"No matter how you look at it, this is the safest way to do it."

"I wasn't worried at first, but he did such an unexpected move, which made me worried."

"Therefore, I invited the two princes to come here because I want to think about this matter and not to be underestimated anymore."

Duke Luo's gray eyebrows raised slightly, "According to what you said, the officials he sent to the Imperial City Division to arrest only accounted for twenty-three out of ten of the imperial court..."

"If he really dares to kill all the other officials, how can the court continue to operate?"

"Will the prince stand by and watch?"

"Second Prince... This news should be delivered to the Second Prince as quickly as possible. He, Li Chenan, died in Shuangjiao Mountain and cannot return to Kyoto, so his move is meaningless."

"Why should we be afraid?"

Duke Yan nodded in agreement, "We have laid a dragnet on Shuangjiao Mountain, and Li Chenan only brought three to five hundred imps from the Imperial City Division with him. He cannot escape even if he has wings!"

Ji Tai took a deep breath and looked at the chimney outside the window.

There has been no smoke from the chimney for several days, and the pungent smell has not been smelled for several days.

This is of course the best.

The plum garden next door will continue to be empty from now on, which will be the best for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty and the country of Ningguo.

However, Ji Tai felt inexplicable worries in her heart.

"There are two strange things about this matter!"

"First, Li Chenan is the future uncle of Dingguo Hou Mansion, but Fan Taohua acted too calmly this time!"

"We all know this old lady very well."

"Protecting shortcomings, being wise, and extremely decisive!"

"It stands to reason that when Li Chenan went to suppress the bandits, I thought that Fan Taohua would at least give Li Chenan a battalion of the Shenwu Army."

"But she didn't do it."

"Second, Changsun Jinghong!"

"We also know this old thing very well!"

"He has been plotting for the past twenty years, but for something as big as Shuangjiao Mountain...he doesn't seem to take it to heart."

Duke Luo frowned, picked up the teacup and asked, "So, Xiang Ji, what are you worried about?"

Ji Tai pondered for a moment and said two words:

"Kyoto!"

Duke Yan leaned over with a serious look on his face: "What we are planning is originally from Kyoto!"

Ji Tai nodded slightly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes:
Chapter completed!
