What happened in the Duke Wen's mansion quickly spread to all parties, and Chu Yao's order to the Special Inspector Si Bingwei to arrest Fourth Master Zhuang aroused heated discussion.
"Why can Chu Yao mobilize the soldiers and guards of the Special Investigation Department?"
After Mr. Liu was removed from the post of commander of the Special Investigation Division, many people were watching him.
As much as the officials from the DPRK and China hated Ye Mo, they were jealous of the power of the Special Investigation Division. They began to have relationships with each other, hoping to win the post of commander of the Special Investigation Division.
But Chu Yao suddenly appeared and broke all the plans of all parties.
"Did the Emperor ask Chu Yao to take over the Special Investigation Department?"
"How is it possible? How can Chu Yao be qualified to take over the Special Investigation Department!"
The prince and other princes were also extremely surprised after receiving the news.
While all parties were discussing, Chu Yao handed over the three words "Supervision Department" written by the emperor to Meng Moling.
"Find someone with better skills to make a plaque again."
After Meng Moling took the words and left, Chu Yao continued to look up at the plaque of 'Special Inspection Division'.
When the Special Investigation Department was established, one person was in charge of arrests and arrests, and the other in the back was responsible for spying and gathering intelligence, and they assisted in pairs.
Due to its responsibilities, the Special Investigation Department has its own yamen, while the Special Supervision Department only has numerous hidden posts.
Even if he is the commander of the Special Supervision Division, he can only hide in the dark.
He doesn't want to be an unknown shadow, he wants power, open and fair power, so that when he is faced with oppression and criticism again, he can fight back in an upright manner.
Before the plaque of the Supervision Department was finished, the emperor announced in the morning that the Special Supervision Department and the Special Supervision Department would be merged into the Supervision Department, and that Chu Yao would be the commander of the Supervision Department.
As soon as this news came out, officials from all parties felt even more regretful.
Originally, the Special Supervision Department and the Special Investigation Department had great power. Now that the two departments are merged, the power is even greater. If it is in our own hands, it will definitely be a big help.
After that, Chu Yao also changed from being ignored and alienated, to being the target of various parties vying to win over him. Among them, the one who reacted the most was Prince Rong’s Mansion.
Chu Yao quietly became the commander of the Supervision Department. The people in the palace were not happy because of his victory, but all of them looked solemn.
In the Rongxin Hall where the old Princess Rong is, the old prince, the old princess, the Rongjun prince and his wife, the Chu Xuan couple, and the Chu Zhao couple are all gathered together.
"I heard that my third brother was the commander of the Special Supervision Department before."
In the silence, Chu Zhao, the second son of King Rongjun, was the first to speak out with a smile.
Hearing this, the old princess's eyelids couldn't help but twitch, but the old prince didn't react at all.
Ever since he went to Zhezi to ask for the title to be passed on to the Queen of Rongjun, the old prince has not been involved in the matter.
Prince Rong frowned, pursed his lips, and looked a little ugly.
Chu Xuan, the crown prince of Rongjun, and his wife Luo Yilan both lowered their eyes and wondered what they were thinking.
Chu Zhao's wife Tang Shan responded to her husband with a smile: "The third brother really doesn't show his face. The Special Supervision Department and the Special Investigation Department were both established when the emperor ascended the throne. After all these years, he has not revealed anything to us.
, I wonder if we are still a family in his heart?"
Princess Rongjun heard this, glanced sideways at Tang Shan, and quickly looked at the old princess: "Mom, brother Yao is of course a member of Prince Rong's palace, and no one can change this."
The old princess looked at Princess Rongjun and said nothing.
Chu Zhao chuckled again: "If the third brother really takes charge of the palace, how come he doesn't come back once for ten days and a half?"
In the past, if Chu Zhao contradicted Princess Rongjun like this, the old princess would not be able to speak. But today, the old princess glanced at Chu Zhao and looked at Princess Rongjun: "It's really not good for Brother Yao not to return home for a long time. Wait.
You will send a message to Brother Yao soon and ask him to come back and stay at home."
A look of embarrassment flashed in Princess Rongjun's eyes. Although she gave birth to her son, she had long been unable to control him. However, her mother-in-law had already spoken, so she quickly responded: "My daughter-in-law will send someone to deliver the message." p>
The old princess looked a little better, and she picked up the tea bowl to hide the complexity in her eyes.
There are so many people in the palace, but now the only one who can make the third grandson listen to a word or two is the Guan family.
At this moment, she also regretted that she shouldn't have suppressed her third grandson like that, which led to the separation between him and the palace.
At this time, the maid informed the manager Wu Biao that he was here.
The old princess cheered up and called the person in: "What's the matter?"
Wu Biao respectfully replied: "Gong Wen is here."
The old princess knew what Mr. Wen Guo was here for, and looked at Chu Xuan: "Brother Xuan, you will accompany Mr. Wen to the Supervision Department later."
Chu Xuan was silent for a moment and looked at the old princess: "Grandma, if I go, it will only be counterproductive."
The old princess paused, then sighed and punched her leg. She was actually forced to do nothing by her grandson!
When Prince Rong saw this, he stood up and said, "I'm going. I want to see if Chu Yao, that rebellious and unfilial person, doesn't even give me the face of me!"
People from Duke Wen's government have gone to the Supervision Department several times. Not only have they failed to rescue Fourth Master Zhuang, they have not even seen Chu Yao's face.
Both Chu Xuan and Chu Zhao knew very well that since Chu Yao had taken action in public, he would not let go lightly. Seeing that Prince Rong wanted to put pressure on him, Chu Xuan had a mocking look in his eyes and said nothing.
Chu Zhao moved his lips, but he wished that Prince Rong hated Chu Yao, so he didn't speak in the end.
This time, accompanied by Prince Rong, Wen Guogong met Fourth Master Zhuang, but the meeting place was the special prison cell.
Seeing the Fourth Master Zhuang who was beaten all over, Prince Rong and Duke Wen were a little frightened.
"You traitor, how dare you use lynching!"
Chu Yao looked at Prince Rong coldly: "It seems that even the Zhuang family is more important to you than me."
"Indiscriminate lynching?"
Chu Yao picked up a red-hot iron with the word "slave" engraved on it and put it on Mr. Zhuang's face.
"Ah~"
Chu Yao looked at the screaming Fourth Master Zhuang with no expression on his face, and said coldly: "The evidence that Zhuang Wentong embezzled military pay has been reviewed by the Emperor. The Emperor has decreed that Zhuang Wentong be exiled to Liaodong and exiled to the army."
As he said that, he looked at Duke Wen.
"The eldest prince finally entered the court with great difficulty, and you are trying to recruit him like this. How do you think he will view Duke Wen's government?"
Wen Guogong's expression changed drastically.
Chu Yao said that he still had something to do, and sent people to send Prince Rong and Duke Wen out of the Supervision Department, regardless of how dissatisfied Prince Rong was.
For Chu Yao, it is normal for people in the palace to be dissatisfied with him. If one day they suddenly treat him well, there must be something fishy.
At the end of March, a major event occurred. Beiyan sent envoys to Beijing to seek peace.
Bei Yan envoy: "To show Bei Yan's sincerity, Bei Yan is willing to marry the eldest princess to the Chu royal family in order to seek the favor of Qin and Jin."
As soon as the news came out, there were mixed reactions from all parties.
The eldest princess of Beiyan is also responsible for the good relations between the two countries. The best way is for the emperor to include her in the harem.
"Witchcraft is prevalent in Beiyan. The mother clan of the eldest princess of Beiyan relied on the technique of witchcraft to eliminate dissidents and became the number one family in Beiyan."
The emperor listened to the words of the Master of Yang Palace of Liangyi Palace, his eyes were a little dangerous, and he snorted coldly: "I know that Beiyan has no good intentions."
Then, he frowned.
Over the years, Da Chu and Bei Yan have been engaged in small and large battles. Now that the state treasury is empty, it is really difficult to continue fighting.
Beiyan's request for peace still has to go forward.
However, Princess Beiyan cannot enter the palace.
There were rumors in the palace that the emperor was unwilling to accept Princess Beiyan as his concubine, and all the princes were a little uneasy, especially the prince who was not yet a wife.
If the emperor does not want Princess Beiyan, then the prince will have to take over.
