"I, Xiao Qiyue, am devoted to handling cases for the royal family, why can't I say anything?
Moreover, this was approved by His Majesty. People say that if the king wants his minister to die, he must die.
The emperor wants his ministers to speak. Do you dare not to speak? That would be the crime of deceiving the emperor.
What's more, the emperor doesn't have any objections. It's not that you, Prince Xing, are asked to be appointed officials, but you, my lord, actually have objections?
This official is not from Prince Xing's house." Xiao Qiyue said, almost making Prince Xing so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. Aren't you implying that I, Mo Guohao, want to be the emperor?
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen definitely doesn't mean that.
Wei Chen just thought, Xiao Qiyue was only 18 years old, and he was just a fourth-rank inspector before. How could he rise to the top in one step and appoint a friend as the commander-in-chief? He was a first-rank official and the pillar of the country.
Those who hold this position are all important ministers who have experienced hundreds of battles and made great contributions to our great Chu.
Therefore, I brought it up because I was dissatisfied." Prince Xing quickly cleared it up, otherwise it would be troublesome to leave a knot in the emperor's heart.
"Your Majesty, you were promoted from Inspector to Commander all of a sudden. Your promotion was indeed too fast.
Throughout the dynasties, no official has ever directly jumped from the fourth rank to the first rank in one step. This is a five-level promotion in a row.
This will arouse the anger of the ministers, and it is related to the emperor's reputation and the rules of the royal family." At this time, Tao Yuanhua, the Duke of Zhenguo, said with his hands.
"Well, we all know that it often takes two or three years for an official to be promoted to one level at a low level, and for a high-level official like a third-level official to be promoted to another level, it can take seven to eight years, or even more than ten years. It really depends on the situation.
It doesn't comply with the rules in terms of emotions." Dingguo Gong Zhan Qingyang also nodded and said.
"Seeing that there is no emperor, the two princes have the same ideas as the ministers." Prince Xing straightened his chest immediately and looked at Xiao Qiyue coldly, with a trace of pride on his face that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.
"Xiao Qiyue, it's not that I don't give you power, this is indeed a bit too much." Chu Xuanji said.
"If the chief is not good enough, then give him a deputy. I heard that Yang Dong, the deputy chief of the Jinyiwei General Office, resigned, leaving a vacant position.
Weichen believes that this position is just right.
It is convenient for Weichen to mobilize the Jin Yiwei to assist in detecting the case of Optimus Prime when necessary.
You know, the case of Optimus Prime definitely involves Peter. He was guarded by the Golden Armor Group, but was actually stolen in broad daylight without leaving any traces. How clever is this thief's method?
At that time, there will be a lot of soldiers and horses that need to be mobilized, and it will require the full cooperation of the police officers from the capital and the government offices below.
If this power is too small, it will be immobilizing. When the time comes, it will miss important national affairs and the ministers will not be able to take on the responsibility." Xiao Qiyue had actually planned ahead and knew that the position of commander-in-chief was impossible.
There is no way the job will fall on oneself.
Xiao Qiyue's real purpose is to run for the post of Chief Inspector of Jinyiwei. This is a third-grade official position. Although it is smaller than Chu Ling, the commander of the capital, it is one level higher than the official rank, so he can rely on this status.
Transferred from the Ministry of Rites, Yan Zijian's family murder case was re-investigated thoroughly, and the eldest brother Chu Zijiang was rehabilitated.
"That's impossible, there are rules against violations." Prince Xing immediately objected again.
"Haha, Your Majesty, what do you say? If you want a horse to run fast, you have to give it good materials. Compared with the Optimus Prime case, what does that mean?" Xiao Qiyue sneered.
"Your Majesty, I also believe that Mr. Xiao must be given a certain amount of power. Otherwise, how can we investigate the Optimus Prime case when there are so many obstacles?" said the arrester Luo Junyi.
"Your Majesty, the big case of Optimus Prime is related to the state and is causing great trouble.
We can't delay it any longer, people say, if you don't want to let go of your child, you won't catch the wolf.
Wei Chen believes that if Xiao Qiyue is officially appointed as the deputy commander, this will indeed make the ministers unconvinced.
However, you can act on behalf of Xiao Qiyue first. If Xiao Qiyue can really solve the case, it will not be too late for him to be officially appointed.
At that time, it is expected that all the ministers will have nothing to say." Tao Yuanhua, the Duke of Zhenguo, spoke again, but this time he was helping Xiao Qiyue.
In fact, Xiao Qiyue had already seen from his popularity that he had been helping her from the beginning.
The previous rhetoric was just a catch-up, and what follows is the purpose.
Because his popularity is leaning toward him, and now I understand it.
Because he had obtained the killer whale knife that he had used to capture Tao Guangyao, and Tao Guangyao was Tao Yuanhua's ancestor. Naturally, he felt a sense of kinship with Tao Yuanhua.
"What Duke Zhen Guo said makes sense, and the ministers also think it is feasible. The theft of Optimus Prime is simply a shame for our Chu royal family. We must detect it as soon as possible, promote the reputation of our royal family, and let Xiaoxiao know about it..." Unexpectedly, Dingguo
Gongzhan Qingyang actually immediately agreed.
Xiao Qiyue believed that she had no friendship with him and had never even met him.
Why should he help himself?
You must know that helping yourself is going against Prince Xing. In an era when the power of the Mo family is overwhelming, this requires courage.
"You are just making nonsense. In the thousands of years since the founding of our country Chu, has there ever been an eighteen-year-old second-rank official? Although they are 'from the second rank', second-rank officials are important weapons of the country and important ministers who can shake the foundation of the country.
." Prince Xing was furious, a little blushing and thick-necked.
I originally thought that the two Guildmen would help me, but I didn't expect that they suddenly made a 180-degree change and turned against each other.
"There's no need to be anxious, Prince Xing. This is just a temporary replacement. If Xiao Qiyue doesn't have that ability, he will have to be severely punished. By then, it will no longer be a trivial issue." Zhen Guogong said.
"If you fail to complete the task and dare to utter such arrogant words and make such excessive demands, it is not an exaggeration to be beheaded in public." Duke Dingguo also warned sternly.
"Xiao Qiyue, did you hear what the two princes said?" Chu Xuanji asked with half-squinted eyes.
"My ears are not deaf and my eyes are not dull." Xiao Qieyi replied with cupped hands.
"Okay! According to what the two princes said, the emperor announced that Xiao Qiyue will temporarily lend him the position of deputy commander of the Jinyiwei.
If the case of Optimus Prime can be solved within a month, then he will be officially appointed and will receive a heavy reward.
If it cannot be completed, he will be beheaded at the Meridian Gate and exposed to the public for a month." Chu Xuanji suddenly raised his voice and made the final decision.
"I can issue a military order, but I have two small requests." Xiao Qiyue said.
"I guess he's here to get an official for your gangsters, right?" Star Prince said sarcastically.
"Prince knows me too well. You are really a roundworm in my belly." Xiao Qiyue chuckled. Mo Guohao really wanted to punch him. It would be better if he straightened his nose.
"Your Majesty, every emperor has his own trusted ministers.
Otherwise, how can the country continue to be governed?
When the commander goes to the battlefield, how can he fight this battle if he doesn’t have a major general he can trust?
The same is true for Wei Chen, brothers fighting tigers, father and son fighting in battle.
I also need my cronies to follow me to solve this case.
Of course, I am not trying to collude with each other and form a small interest group.
But I am doing it for the sake of the great Chu and the royal family, so I will not be polite to you if you are a minor minister.
We do not avoid relatives when promoting talents. Firstly, Wei Chen suggested that my younger brother Chu Zijiang should serve as the commander of the Imperial Guards' Cavalry Battalion, so that the Lord Captor could mobilize the Cavalry Battalion at any time to coordinate the investigation of Optimus Prime's case.
Secondly, Wei Chen suggested that Dali Temple's punishment Zhanli should be promoted to the chief arrester of Taiyan Mansion in the capital, so that the arrester can mobilize the capital's policemen to coordinate the investigation at any time." Xiao Qiyue did his part and glanced at Luo Junyi after finishing his speech.
.
Luo Junyi, the prisoner, couldn't help but twitch his lips. You are all using my name to demand official positions and power...
However, there was no clue about the case of Optimus Prime, and Luo Junyi had to nod his head and said, "Well, what Mr. Xiao said is exactly what I need. Of course, I am just a suggestion, this is your big business.
"
"What a joke, Chu Zijiang has just been appointed as the envoy of Dongcheng Town.
However, the head of the Ministry of Rites, Yan Zijian, was dismissed because of his inability to deal with the massacre of his family.
It's good now that such a criminal was not only not punished severely, but was actually promoted.
Xiao Qiyue, are you trying to trap the emperor into injustice?
Do you want the emperor to be ridiculed by everyone in the world?
You have ulterior motives, Your Majesty, you have bad intentions." Prince Xing scolded.
