"What's wrong, aren't you willing?" Yinzhen's expression was still gentle, but Hongshi couldn't help but shudder, and then shook his head and said: "No matter what kind of thing it is, as long as it is ordered by Huang Ama,
I will all obey. I will go and sort out the affairs of the Punishment Department and hand them over to my fifth brother."
"Go." As Yinzhen uttered these two words, Hongshi bowed and exited the Yangxin Hall. After he left, Yinzhen said to Hongli, "Do you have anything to say to me?"
Hongli raised his head and said without any concealment: "Yes, I did not instruct Pan Rongxuan. Every word he said is true."
"You think I should kill Hongshi, right?" Yinzhen's question made Hongshi not know how to answer. After a long time, he lowered his head and said: "I don't dare. I just think that although Yingge has taken over everything,
, but the second brother is still suspicious."
Yinzhen sighed heavily and stared at the sky outside the window paper. He didn't know what he was thinking, "From now on...Hongshi will be an idle prince. Even if he really has some intentions, he can no longer threaten you. Let's end it here."
.”
In the final analysis, he cared about a trace of flesh and blood affection. Although he had doubts about Hongshi, he was unwilling to investigate further so that Hongshi could escape unscathed.
He has always had a rare bloodline, and now he only has four children. Unless absolutely necessary, he does not want to be stained with the blood of his own children. Although he did not say it explicitly just now, I think Hongshi also felt his warning, even if he really had some intentions.
, I will not dare to act rashly again in the future.
Hongli somewhat guessed what Yinzhen was thinking. He lowered his head and said, "I understand."
Yinzhen coughed lightly, waved his hand and said, "Okay, you can also step back. As for Qiu Wei, I will issue an order to you later."
Hongli didn't say anything and retreated as instructed. After he left, Yinzhen issued several orders one after another. First, he raided the Duke's palace, then seized all the British Duke's properties, and the last one was to pursue the British government with all his strength.
Once discovered, the secret guards raised in the prison will be killed without mercy.
On this day, the people in the capital were surprised to find that the Duke's Mansion, which had been standing in the capital for decades, had been raided. All the servants inside were taken into custody and demobilized, and none of them was left. Even those who had been paralyzed for many years were not left.
Fei Yanggu was also carried out from inside.
In addition to the people watching, there was also Hong Shi. Compared to the people's discussions, he seemed unusually silent. He didn't say a word. He just watched quietly as the officers and soldiers carried boxes and boxes of things out. When Fei Yanggu was carried out
At that moment, he stepped forward and squatted in front of the old man who was conscious but unable to speak. "Grandpa, something happened in the house, but you don't have to worry. I will take care of you in the future. You will be fine."
After that, he asked Wang Zhong and others who came with him to carry Fei Yanggu to Prince Ding's Mansion. The officials responsible for searching the house naturally saw this scene, but there was no way to deal with Fei Yanggu in Yinzhen's decree.
The meaning behind his words was probably that he wanted to spare his life, so he let Hongshi carry him away.
All the things in the once-prominent British government were confiscated in one day, including many valuable items. However, Hongshi didn't care, because long before today, Yingge had taken away all the most valuable things.
Sent to him secretly, what was left in the house were just some ordinary things and a small amount of money for cover.
And that's not all. Fo Biao was ordered by Yinzhen to lead people to investigate and find the secret guards controlled by Yingge. The whole capital gave people a feeling of unrest.
Hongshi sensed all this, but could do nothing because he could not even protect himself. If not for Yinzhen's mercy this time, he would probably have followed him into the prison of the Ministry of Punishment. As for the secret guards, they were all captured by him
It was stored in an unknown place. Fortunately, there were not many secret guards left, so it was not difficult to place them.
However, Yinzhen's mercy did not make him grateful. On the contrary, it aroused his deeper resentment. He had already said that in the Yangxin Palace, but Yinzhen still didn't believe it. Why? Not just
Because Yinzhen was suspicious, and because he was not his trusted heir, and because he was not Hongli, he could not gain his complete trust.
Do you think it will be okay if you reduce his power and force him to be an idle prince? Wrong, he will be dormant, but he will never be dormant for the rest of his life. One day, he will leap over the dragon gate and become a true soaring in the sky.
Dragon, overlooking this vast land.
However, after this incident, he understood that he could no longer become Yinzhen's preferred candidate and obtain this land through normal means. If he wanted to own it, he would have to use another method, such as forcing the palace...
On the fifth day of August, the British government was sealed, and Hongshi lost the power to take charge of the Ministry of Justice. It was also on this day that a crazy and almost terrifying idea arose in Hongshi's heart...
As night gradually enveloped the land, the spies sent by Yinzhen returned to Beijing one after another. Enduring the fatigue of running all the way, they reported to Yinzhen what they knew.
The leaked test questions were only circulated in the capital, and no other provinces had heard of it. There were no signs of the secret decree being opened. Everything was within control.
This result was noticed when Yinzhen found out that Yingge had done this. Coupled with the secret agent's answer, it became more certain. At the same time, it also made him make the final decision, and Qiuwei would be held as usual.
, all provinces and cities are operating as usual, and the exams will be held based on the test questions written by the secret agent, except for the capital city, the questions will be re-written.
Yinzhen sat behind the imperial examination desk, wrote the test questions again after thinking for a while, sealed them and handed them to Si Xi, "Give them to Prince Bao. Tomorrow, autumn will be as usual, and he will still be the examiner."
"Hey." When Sixi was about to leave, he suddenly said: "Pan Rongxuan should still be with Hongli at this moment. He secretly revealed the secret decree and should have been executed. However, I cherished his craftsmanship and was extra merciful to spare his life."
, let him go to the Ministry of Industry and make meritorious deeds, but he has to have someone keep an eye on him secretly to prevent anyone from using him to do something they shouldn't do again."
"Slave, I obey." Si Xi bowed and retreated again. This time, Yinzhen didn't say anything more and allowed him to leave. When only Yinzhen was left in Yangxin Hall, a violent cough came from his mouth.
It took him a long time to stop, but his face was flushed abnormally. Then, he raised his head and stared at the top of the temple with the carved and painted seals, wondering what he was thinking...
I don't know how much time passed, but Xiao Wu came in and bowed, "To report to the Emperor, the Queen is outside asking for an audience."
Yinzhen looked away and let out a breath of turbid air held in his chest, "I have no time to see her, let her go back."
"Hey." Xiao Wu stepped back softly. When he walked in again, Yinzhen pinched the bridge of his nose and said, "Are you leaving?"
