Tian Xiang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was arrested and imprisoned in front of the prime minister's residence, and he quickly confessed.
Fortunately, the Minister of War and the Ministry of Rites are not directly related to him, otherwise, they would never be able to escape the joint relationship.
This made both the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites heave a sigh of relief. They knew that the emperor was going to let them go and not deal with them.
Of course, the most important reason is that the two of them have only been in office for a short time and are not deeply involved yet. As long as they distance themselves from their relationship with Du Mingsi, the emperor will not go too far.
After the fate of the other four ministers, the Minister of War and the Minister of Rites quickly found the emperor, began to explain their mistakes, and took the initiative to join him.
The main reason was that Du Mingsi simply ignored them and planned to let them fend for themselves. Naturally, they didn't want to follow Du Mingsi and collapse like this.
The power of the entire court has undergone earth-shaking changes since the four ministers fell and the other two ministers took refuge with the emperor.
However, the emperor still did not dare to touch Du Mingsi.
Because Du Mingsi is indeed not simple, the four ministers have no direct evidence to prove that what they did has anything to do with Du Mingsi.
All of this is what the family behind them asked them to do.
This is the brilliance of Du Mingsi. Although they are led by Du Mingsi, many things are done by the family behind them for profit.
Du Mingsi did not get any benefits, and he could not even be found to have accepted a bribe from anyone.
Obviously, the cunning Du Mingsi had anticipated all this, so he felt confident.
He still holds a lot of power, especially the power of a lot of the military, which is in his hands.
Once something happens to Du Mingsi, I'm afraid those troops will rebel, and when the time comes, the emperor will still be the loser.
The emperor did not touch Du Mingsi. He and Du Mingsi seemed to be incompatible, but there was still no conflict.
A few days later, Qin Yuan finally sent a very precious piece of news.
The emperor was shocked after reading it.
"This Du Mingsi is actually lurking so secretly!" The emperor was shocked and said to Su Fang opposite: "Look at this, maybe you know what Du Mingsi's plan is."
Su Fang took it over curiously and took a look. He was also very surprised and said: "This Du Mingsi is actually a spy of the Daning Empire!"
Su Fang was indeed shocked!
He never thought that the dignified Prime Minister of the Qin Empire would actually be a spy of the Daning Empire.
"No wonder Du Mingsi has been very calm recently and doesn't care about the court affairs at all. It turns out that he is not from those aristocratic families at all."
"My guess is that even those aristocratic families would never have imagined that Du Mingsi could be a spy for the Daning Empire."
When Su Fang saw the news, he couldn't calm down for a long time.
A lot of things can be figured out this way.
After all the power of the imperial court was in the hands of the emperor, Du Mingsi didn't care at all.
What he would like to see most is something that can cause disputes and fights between the emperor and the aristocratic family.
Mao Jiarong came in a hurry and said breathlessly: "Your Majesty, urgent report, the Jiangnan family has begun to fight back."
"What was supposed to come has finally arrived." The emperor sighed.
After receiving the report, the emperor's face became increasingly ugly, and he threw it to Su Fang for inspection.
After reading it, Su Fang roughly understood the relevant situation.
The situation in the Jiangnan area has begun to develop in the direction he expected.
In order to fight against the emperor, the aristocratic family colluded with local officials, which caused a lot of trouble.
Desperate, the people began to smash, loot, and burn, and the security in many places fell into chaos.
The emperor looked at Su Fang and asked, "Is there a solution?"
"Yes." Su Fang replied.
"How?"
"Kill!" Su Fang answered simply.
"Kill?" The emperor fell into deep thought and said, "It's difficult."
"So, we must send someone who has outstanding ability and tough methods and is not afraid of them. Of course, the army cannot be missing."
"Among those landowners from aristocratic families, there must be many private soldiers and martial arts masters. They will definitely not compromise. The simplest, direct, and effective way is to kill one to serve as a warning to others."
"They dared to do this blatantly because they suspected that the emperor would be too concerned. If the emperor is decisive in killing, they will kill them if they dare to cause trouble."
"As long as we kill them until they are scared and timid, we will see who dares to continue to oppose the emperor."
Su Fang expressed his own methods and opinions.
This method was very effective, but the emperor was very hesitant.
"Your Majesty, you should continue to break up and accept the chaos. You also said that the opportunity that generations of royal families have not solved is now at this time. If you don't make a decision, there will be no chance in the future." Zuo Qianqiu said.
"Your Majesty, if you believe in Wei Chen, Wei Chen is willing to be the first person to remove all obstacles for the Emperor." Mao Jiarong immediately stood up and said.
The emperor looked at the three people and said, "It's not that I disagree, but I really can't find anyone who can handle this matter."
"Does the Emperor not trust Wei Chen?" Mao Jiarong asked.
"I can't live without you and Zuo Qianqiu. One of you controls the Dongchang and the other controls the Jinyiwei. Du Mingsi will be afraid of you as long as you are around."
"Once the two of you leave, Du Mingsi will not let go of such a good opportunity. He will definitely take action."
"At that time, the court that was finally under his control will fall into his control again. This is not what I want to see." The emperor said.
After listening to the emperor's words, they understood the emperor's thoughts.
The threat of Du Mingsi in the court has not been resolved, and none of them can leave.
Moreover, this old fox is very cunning. Once Du Mingsi is given a chance to breathe, he will bite him like a poisonous snake and won't let go.
"If the Eighth Prince can go, no matter his methods or intelligence, he will be able to cope with the situation in Jiangnan." Zuo Qianqiu said.
Mao Jiarong also agreed with this point.
The emperor also understood this very well.
However, Qin Yuan finally became Du Mingsi's staff.
Moreover, Du Mingsi was a spy of the Daning Empire and was brought back by Qin Yuan.
Therefore, Qin Yuan could not move for the sake of the overall situation.
They all fell silent.
In the entire Great Qin Empire, there was no one who could do great things.
However, Su Fang felt bad.
Because the emperor kept looking at Su Fang.
Su Fang quickly asked: "Your Majesty, what do you think of me like this? I am just a doctor and have no abilities."
Zuo Qianqiu took a look and knew very well what the emperor was thinking now, and said: "Your Majesty, I am also worried about your condition."
Su Fang is not a suitable candidate. Once the emperor gets into trouble again, I am afraid that no one will be able to treat the emperor.
Mao Jiarong didn't speak. He didn't dare to refute the emperor's opinion, and he didn't dare to offend Su Fang. Silence was the wisest choice.
"Su Fang, I understand your thoughts, and I also know that you don't want to be an official at all, let alone get involved in any disputes."
"However, when the Great Qin Empire is in danger, I can only ask you to come forward now."
"You are the most suitable and the best candidate in terms of temperament, intelligence, and character."
"Besides, I wouldn't be at ease if I left things in the Jiangnan area to anyone else. I can only be at ease if you are in sole control."
"So, for the sake of the country and the tens of millions of people of the Qin Empire, I am begging you here. Please don't refuse!"
The emperor bowed his hand to Su Fang with great care.
Apart from the emperor's parents, only Su Fang enjoyed this great gift.
This shocked Su Fang!
Even Zuo Qianqiu was shocked.
Not to mention Mao Jiarong, his eyes almost popped out of his head, it was simply unbelievable.
