Where Xu Mochen was staring, there was no movement for the time being, but there was turmoil in the capital.
The reason was that he ordered a thorough investigation into the case of the former Nanwei clan.
In the process of Da Qian unifying the world, dozens of countries and local governments were eliminated, large and small.
Xu Mochen shows no mercy to the members of the royal family.
But instead of exterminating all members of the clan, he moved them all to the capital. They were given preferential treatment, but in fact they were under semi-house arrest.
Now, he begins to investigate the case of the former Nanwei clan, which involves these people.
When they were moved to the capital, the immortal cultivators ignored them, while ordinary human officials were very hostile.
After all, they were once hostile national forces.
Therefore, they live in the capital with fear and are often bullied.
Now the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have begun re-investigation, and these people have jumped out.
Everyone is complaining. They are being abused here and being bullied there. They ask Xu Mochen to give a fair explanation.
To put it bluntly, I just want to rely on this wave to turn over a little bit.
As a result, things are getting bigger and bigger like a snowball.
In addition to various rumors, there are also various opinions among the people.
Some said that the emperor was harsh and ruthless, some lamented the misery of those who lost their country, and others believed that the country's justice was unfair.
All in all, the people became suspicious of Xu Mochen's order to investigate the case thoroughly.
This weathervane was keenly grasped by officials.
Immortal cultivators are happy to see this.
"You are stupid now. You think that any case can be overturned, but you still don't know how to be grateful for helping him get rid of hidden dangers."
"Do you really think you are talented?"
"Don't be ridiculous. When I elected him as the emperor to unify the world, wasn't it because I thought he was the stupidest and made everything weird and useless."
"Your Majesty should be allowed to calm down. Otherwise, if you always think that you are hard, you are over-inflated."
"Continue to write, and be sure to tell the truth."
Therefore, all the memorials that came up were centered around this matter.
Everyone is worried about the country and the people at the top of their lungs.
Xu Mochen read a memorial requesting that the case be closed immediately and threw it on the table.
After Tang Derun left, Zhao Lingbo took on the job of secretary assistant.
"Look at what's written, it's like ghosts crying and wolves howling," Xu Mochen pointed at the memorial, "If you want me to close the case on my own, what about the decree I made not long ago?"
Although things are very bad, and he even feels that the national fortune has been lost recently, Xu Mochen still insists on his own approach.
"Your Majesty," Zhao Lingbo put together the memorial, "their purpose is nothing more than to get Your Majesty to issue an edict to punish oneself."
It's not like I'm guilty of the imperial edict, but I want to force the emperor to take the initiative to admit his mistake.
In this way, we will really lose the support of the people and shake the national movement...
Xu Mochen pondered that during the reunification, it was all smooth sailing. He thought it was all his own strategy, so he had no important advisers around him.
Tang Derun, after all, is a cultivator of immortality, and sometimes his brain is not easy to use.
The current situation involves not only the battle between the human race and the immortal cultivators, but also affects the court.
The court is the foundation of Xu Mochen. If it is lost, it means that there is no blessing of national luck and dragon luck, and there will be a dead end.
He had to reconsider the formation of the team.
Zhao Lingbo is the princess, but she only knows medical skills and can't make up her mind on court issues.
Not to mention Shen Zhining and others.
"It seems that if we want to calm down as soon as possible, we can only deal with the case of the former Nanwei clan as quickly as possible." As he said that, Xu Mochen's eyes fell on Tianyi Temple again.
It's almost time to take action...
Tianyi Temple is located in Tanglong Mountain near the capital.
This temple is an official temple designated by the Daqian royal family and has a certain status.
After the death of successive emperors, all the concubines in the harem
He was sent here to worship Buddha all day long until he died of old age.
Of course, the immortal cultivators among them were just hiding behind the scenes to escape.
Tang Derun has been watching this area for almost a month.
Judging from the people coming and going, there is nothing special about it.
It is almost closed. Except for some people who go out to buy replacement food supplies, no outsiders come.
After all, it is the territory of the royal family, and no one can come without an invitation.
After so long, he almost thought that the information he found was wrong.
Just when he was about to return to Beijing, things finally changed.
"How many carriages did you say came?" He still didn't believe it when he received the report from the Xiuyi Envoy's spies.
"He's from the capital," his subordinate reported, "We followed him all the way, very carefully."
But Tang Derun knew in his heart that no matter how powerful the embroiderer was, he would still have a blank slate when facing the immortal cultivators. They must have been discovered.
If the other party didn't deal with it, they were either confident or waiting for him to take action.
But it was obviously impossible not to investigate. He also had control over the dynamics of the capital, and knew that Xu Mochen was in a difficult situation.
"You guys need to retreat," he decided to try. If he got evidence, it would be a great achievement. "I'll go there myself."
As long as he has done meritorious service, it is only a matter of time before His Majesty congratulates me.
Tang Derun is not reckless. Recently, with the blessing of Xu Mochen's Immortal Fate Pill, his cultivation has been making breakthroughs.
He is now a cultivator at the eighth level of the Blood Training Realm, which is equivalent to the middle stage of the Golden Core Realm.
This level, placed in the court, is also the first level of combat power.
After the arrangements were made, Tang Derun immediately spread out and rushed out.
Soon, he saw the vehicle at the foot of the mountain.
There were eight cars in total, and the driver looked like a mortal.
As the general manager of the Embroidery Envoy, he has a strong ability to lurk and approached the convoy silently.
Perhaps because they had been driving for a long time, these people found a place to take a rest.
Tang Derun was invisible on the branch, and his spiritual consciousness swept over him to see if he was wrinkled.
There are criminals in the carriage, which means that the information of the Xiuyi Envoy is correct. These people were transferred from Dali Temple Prison.
Maybe they were members of a clan from a subjugated country in the past.
But Tang Derun didn't know them, so if he wanted to find out, he could only go down and ask.
His consciousness scanned back and forth several times to confirm that there were no immortal cultivators. Then he took advantage of the opportunity and turned into an escaping light at an extremely fast speed and disappeared into a carriage.
Inside the car, there were four prisoners sitting, all in ragged clothes. They felt the curtains shaking, but before they could react, they were already under control.
He couldn't make a sound or move. He stared at the sudden appearance of Tang Derun with his big eyes wide open.
"Don't shout," Tang Derun signaled, "I am Tang Derun, the general manager of the Embroidered Clothes Envoy, your Majesty's closest minister. The purpose of coming here is to save you.
I'll unblock you. If you have any questions, just answer them properly. If you want to shout, I don't mind sending you on your way in advance.
Whether you want to live or die, you decide for yourself."
This is an easy question to choose. All four of them grunted with big eyes.
When Tang Derun saw that the other party understood, he lifted the blockade: "Who are you?"
One of them replied: "The criminal is Prince Gong of the former Lu State. He has been in prison for several years. He turned around today and said he wanted to reverse the case for us. I don't know where he is going."
Sure enough, Tang Derun narrowed his eyes, he was also a member of the subjugated clan.
