Chapter 291 A certain Dou Jian pointed to the Ministry of Rites?
The night is blurry.
A waning moon hangs in the sky.
Countless stars are shining brightly, forming a mighty galaxy.
The world was silent, with only the occasional cry of cicadas. Everything began to fall silent, and most people began to fall into a deep sleep. However, in the city of God, many places were brightly lit, shining like daylight.
Six-door headquarters, hall.
King Chen was wearing a large windbreaker, twirling Buddhist beads in his hand, walked slowly to the hall, sat down slowly, yawned and said, "What do you want to see me late at night?"
Chen Renmei stood at the bottom and looked up at the lazy King Chen. Her heart sank. She knew that King Chen was a Buddhist again, but she still said: "Something happened."
"Dou Changsheng took action against the Shang envoy, and now he has captured a Shang envoy and is imprisoning him in a manor outside the city."
"Tomorrow, the Shang clan's envoy will definitely not give up. He will definitely start making trouble, and it will definitely cause an uproar."
King Chen picked up the tea cup on the Eight Immortals table next to him, took a sip of tea to refresh himself and said, "What are you making all the fuss about?"
Chen Renmei replied solemnly: "Among all other races, the Shang race has always been at the forefront in terms of strength, ranking among the top ten races."
"Although the Shang Clan has lost its power in recent years, it is one of the ten major races that is not hostile to the human race and can remain neutral. Now we are attacking the envoys sent by the Shang Clan."
"This matter is very serious. Every word and deed of the envoy represents the Shang clan. The Shang clan will definitely be furious and will never let it go."
"Tomorrow the Shang clan's envoys will issue a strong condemnation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, which will affect the peace between the human race and the Shang clan."
King Chen put down his teacup and said, "What do you think?"
Chen Renmei replied: "Release the Shang envoys and hold the perpetrators accountable so as to ease the relationship between the two parties and reduce the impact of this incident."
"If we don't handle it well, it will affect not only the Shang clan, but also the way all clans view our human race. The impact is really too great."
King Chen blew the hot air from the tea calmly and said nonchalantly: "Marquis Chen just sent someone to report that the Shang envoy was involved in the murder of the Spiritual envoy. This incident is even worse.
"
"The Shang Clan deliberately killed the Spirit Clan envoy so that they could blame us, the Human Clan. This Shang Clan is too suspicious."
"Now we are not attacking the Shang envoy, but temporarily capturing the suspect. If after our inspection, the death of the Spirit envoy has nothing to do with him, then we will naturally let him go."
Chen Renmei frowned, her voice raised three points and she said, "Even this is not a sufficient reason to attack an envoy of a clan."
"Without irrefutable evidence, how can we attack a group of envoys?"
"If everyone were like this, wouldn't the world be in chaos?"
Chen Renmei stared at the indifferent King Chen in front of her, and couldn't help but feel angry in her heart. In the past, King Chen was a wise man who led six sects to solve major crimes in a row. He had clear rewards and punishments and could not tolerate any sand in his eyes.
For Dou Changsheng's actions, he had already directly attacked Dou Changsheng, arrested him and tried to accuse him of his crimes. He attacked a group of envoys without any evidence, and the impact was too bad.
Failure to do so will trigger the Shang clan to declare war on the human race, adding another enemy to the human race.
After all, the messenger himself is not important, what is important is his identity, and the other party represents the Shang clan.
Chen Renmei began to breathe heavily, and finally suppressed her words of rebuke, flung her sleeves angrily, and strode away.
King Chen was drinking tea and didn't care at all about this scene. He never stopped twisting the Buddhist beads in his other hand.
Watching Chen Renmei's back disappear into the night, King Chen's eyes gradually became deeper.
It was a critical period in the battle for the right to inherit the throne.
Dou Changsheng entered the city of gods.
There will definitely be a bloody storm.
But King Chen never expected that things would happen so fast and so fiercely.
If the case of the death of the Spirit Clan envoy was just this one case, then it would be fine. But now that the Shang Clan envoy is implicated, it is self-evident that Dou Changsheng is aiming his sword at the target.
Ministry of Rites.
The Ministry of Rites is in charge of rituals, music, diplomatic relations, etc.
Involving the Shang tribe's envoys murdering the Spirit tribe's envoys, this incident became serious, and the impact was really too great. After all, both the Spirit tribe and the Shang tribe were among the top ten races.
This is already a dereliction of duty by the Ministry of Rites. If there is conclusive evidence, then something will definitely happen to the Ministry of Rites.
Among the nine cabinet ministers, the Political Hall holds three exclusive seats.
The important components of the political hall are the Department of Rites, the Department of Officials, and the Department of Household Affairs.
The Ministry of Rites is the three important pillars of the political hall, and the most critical point is that the Ministry of Rites is in charge of etiquette and the distinction between concubines and concubines. This is what the Ministry of Rites has set.
As the eldest son, the prince is the master of the East Palace and the crown prince of the country.
When a saint loses his virtue or when a prince competes for the throne, the Ministry of Rites must side with the prince. No matter who is in the position of Minister of Rites, even if it is a dog, this is the only choice.
How could the Ministry of Rites dare to support the King of Jin? It would not distinguish between old and young, and its foundation in the world would collapse. How could it have the face to customize etiquette and win the trust of the world?
It's really a big game of chess.
King Chen couldn't help but pause when he twisted the beads. This junior brought him too many surprises.
When I left Beijing in the past, my nationality was unknown.
Now that he has returned to the capital of gods, he is famous all over the world and has returned with great momentum.
He is destined to do something big.
King Chen was very satisfied. This young man had a great gambling bent. What he did this time would lead to success or death.
If he could not convict the Shang envoy, he would definitely die.
This kind of approach that leaves no escape route for oneself is very rare. In today's world, the stronger one becomes, the more one cherishes one's life. No one would do such an extreme thing and have a last-ditch fight.
Chen Renmei was a princeling, so when she found out that Dou Changsheng was targeting the Ministry of Rites, she immediately couldn't sit still and wanted to take down Dou Changsheng and calm down the turmoil.
Now that he has been vetoed by himself, he will definitely not give up. There is no pressure here at Liumen, but the pressure on the court will not be less. Tomorrow, he will definitely be besieged by the princelings.
Tomorrow's morning meeting will definitely be fierce. It is destined to be a collision between the princelings and the Jin Dynasty.
The main dispute this time is whether the Shang clan is innocent.
In such a big case, forged evidence is not feasible. Conclusive evidence must be produced. After all, this not only needs to be convinced by the world, but also by all races.
King Chen's eyes were full of expectation.
The chaos in this divine capital has become even more intense in just a few days.
Now even gods and demons are involved.
King Chen twisted his beads. He had not gone to court for a while and it seemed he had to go tomorrow.
