Xia Shang returned to his mansion and lived a seemingly peaceful and simple life for the next few days.
No outings, no visitors.
The news in Xiafu made some people who were paying attention relax a lot.
It's just that I always feel that all of this seems to have ulterior motives.
It will take time for Zero One to recover from his injuries. Even with Zhuo Yuan's treatment, his strength is not as good as before.
Faced with such a situation, Xia Shang did not have much hope for him.
Xia Shang has only one purpose, which is to hope that Ling Yi can find out who captured Zhuo Bufan.
Who knows the secret of the general outline of the Heavenly Book?
Xia Mansion was peaceful after all, and no one was willing to challenge Xia Shang's bottom line.
All this was due to the commotion in the capital that night before.
The dozen or so subordinates assigned by Chunjiao who were responsible for the security of Xia Mansion had nothing else to do but became informants for Xia Shang and Chunjiao.
Five days later, news came from the subordinates of the Metropolitan Procuratorate that there was something going on in Prince Yong's Mansion.
It is said that King Yong is preparing to leave the capital and go to Prince Yong's Mansion in Yangzhou to rest for a while.
He had already resigned in the morning, and both the queen and the prince agreed to his request.
There is something strange about this matter.
Now is the time when the situation in the capital is most tense. King Yong chose to leave the capital at this time. The first impression given to people is that King Yong gave up the fight for the throne.
Moreover, judging from King Yong's performance during this period, it seems reasonable for him to make such a decision.
If this matter spreads, I believe everyone in the world will think so.
But Xia Shang felt that things would not be that simple.
Even if Li Yong wants to give up, he must at least give it a try.
Although it seems now that Li Xiangyang is far more powerful than Li Yong, after all, Li Yong endured it for so many years and didn't even try to fight in the end. How could he be willing to do so?
After hearing the news, Xia Shang thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't think of the reason behind it.
However, Xia Shang suddenly had an idea and figured out something.
It is more likely that the person who knows Li Yong's intentions behind it is Li Xiangyang, and the two of them are direct competitors.
At this time, Li Xiangyang should be even more eager to know Li Yong's purpose.
Therefore, at this time, Xia Shang did not have to do this at all
Think too much about things.
On the contrary, you can take advantage of Li Xiangyang's focus on Li Yong and take advantage of the other party's relaxation of vigilance to do something.
Among the things before Xia Shang, besides finding Zhuo Bufan, there was also the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
…
There are not many people in the Yamen of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Chunjiao stayed at the front seat and read through the official documents submitted by her subordinates in recent days.
These official documents are nothing more than the actions of various departments within the Twelve Divisions, as well as some rather strange things that happened in the capital.
In the past, there were not many things going on in the capital, but there were a lot of reports submitted every day. If you wanted to review them carefully, it would take at least three hours.
There have been more things going on in the capital recently, but Chunjiao has fewer official documents in front of her.
I arrived here early in the morning, and after only reading the official documents for an hour, I found that there was no more content in front of me.
Chunjiao frowned slightly as she closed the last piece of official paper.
She knew what was going on. She, the acting chief executive, was getting less and less attention.
When this happened, it was obvious that someone was causing trouble, and even more so, they were trying to show Chunjiao to test her reaction.
Looking at the now empty government offices, the current situation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is clear at a glance.
Faced with such a situation, Chunjiao also felt that she was powerless and had nothing to do.
She was just a person, and opposite her, it was obvious that she could feel a force, so she secretly exerted her strength.
This situation has made Chunjiao feel a little irritable recently.
Watching power slip away from your hands is not a good experience.
Those people who seemed loyal in the past were like weeds on the wall at this time, changing sides one by one openly or covertly.
After all, there are no more people like Chunjiao in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who have different superior-subordinate feelings towards Xia Shang.
The situation was getting more and more out of control, and Chunjiao felt that she had to do something and could no longer just sit there and wait for death.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly came from outside.
Chunjiao saw a dozen people coming in from outside. After taking a closer look, she realized that they were all the men she had sent to Xia Mansion to be responsible for the security of Xia Mansion.
Seeing this group of people coming back, Chunjiao frowned and asked the leader: "What's going on? Why are you all back?"
"Sir, we have received the order from the first master..."
"When did I let you come back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of dull laughter from outside: "Hahaha... Mr. Chun, if you stay in one position for too long, do you really think that you are the one who should be sitting in this position? You are just Chun.
The head of the Fangji family is now ordering people from the Twelve Divisions as a matter of course?"
The voice was a little strange, but also a little familiar.
Chunjiao quickly walked out of the room and saw a stooped middle-aged man sitting in a wheelchair. The person pushing the wheelchair behind him was Fang Cheng, the head of the Iron Arm Division.
And the man in the wheelchair is Long Er.
No one spoke at this moment. The moment Chunjiao went out, she noticed the waistband in Long Er's hand.
One in the tiger's mouth!
Long Er looked at Chunjiao and gave the other party enough time.
Then he asked with a smile: "Chun Shouzuo, can you recognize this thing?"
Chunjiao sneered: "I know it, so what?"
"The imperial court has appointed Long Er, No. 2 of the Tianyu Department, to take over the position of the chief of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and named him Li Shanghu. Now there is no longer Long Er in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but Mr. Li. Mr. Chun, you have seen the title of the chief, and you still don't recognize it.
?”
"Li Shanghu? How ridiculous! When will it be the imperial court's turn to accept the position of the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate? From the beginning to the end, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been independent of the imperial court. Even the emperor will not interfere with the internal affairs of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The seat at the head of the courtyard was chosen by the previous head of the house. Do you think you can be justified just by holding a badge?"
"Chun Chief, then this matter is interesting. You keep saying that the current Metropolitan Procuratorate is the new Metropolitan Procuratorate, and all the old systems must be abolished. Why do you have to follow the old system when you have to accept your fate? How can an organization like the Metropolitan Procuratorate
Maybe not let the imperial court control? If you want to escape from the imperial court, that is rebellion, Mr. Chun, please don’t say this nonsense."
"..." Chunjiao looked serious. She glanced at the people who came here. Almost all of them were the main members of the Twelve Divisions. And these members, without exception, were standing behind Long Er, with equally serious expressions.
Long Er smiled and looked at Chunjiao alone.
"I know that things are a bit sudden, but this is a reality that must be accepted after all. Look at the current situation, who is willing to obey a woman's orders? If the world wants to restore order, people who are beyond the law will never be allowed to exist.
.The former Metropolitan Procuratorate was too special, had too much power, and was too dangerous. Therefore, His Highness the Crown Prince is now taking back this power."
