Fantasy: Prince Peerless, Conquer the Heavens!

Chapter 393 Clan Rebellion

In the majestic imperial palace, two murderous auras surged.

This made the other courtiers extremely curious about the contents of the memorial and began to pass it from front to back.

After several years of development, the courtiers who could stand in the imperial palace were all above the Saint Realm. With the power of their souls swept away, they knew the contents of the memorial, so the two thousand people in the palace quickly read the memorial.

"I agree that the Huang clan should kill the nine clans!"

"There are hundreds of thousands of people who died in the Huang clan, and there is nothing cruel about killing the Nine Clan!"

"They deserve to be killed, this is a dirty ethnic group!"

Many ministers agreed one after another, their murderous aura boiling over, causing the temperature of the emperor's palace to drop suddenly.

From the memorials, they learned that in order to cultivate a private army, the Huang family specially collected talented babies from the countryside, killed their parents, brainwashed them from childhood, and trained them to be dead soldiers.

In fact, many families have private armies. This is a sign of strength and it is impossible to prevent them.

Although the laws promulgated by the Qin Dynasty explicitly prohibited families from cultivating private armies, they were very maneuverable and many families transformed their private armies into bodyguards.

In this regard, as long as they do not betray the country and the number is not too large, the court will not pursue them.

Take the people above the court, except for the people summoned by Qin Wudao, who doesn't have a family behind them? There are dozens of people at least, and hundreds of thousands of people at most.

But without exception, they still have a conscience and will not engage in illegal or disorderly behavior in order to cultivate private armies.

While everyone was plundering with murderous intent, Qin Wudao, Zhuge Liang and a few others calmed down and looked thoughtful.

"Your Majesty, there are many clans in Da Qin. According to the preliminary investigation by the secret guards, many clans lack awe of the imperial court. I recommend a thorough investigation of the clans in Da Qin!"

Jia Xu stood in the center of the hall and continued to report.

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many ministers in the palace became unnatural. If the imperial court investigates the clan, many of them will be implicated.

Qin Wudao, Zhuge Liang, Xiao He and others frowned slightly when they heard this. Jia Xu's words were a bit radical!

There are many clans above the court!

"Your Majesty, I object!"

"Now that the Qin Dynasty has just stabilized, a thorough investigation of the clans will easily make the clans in the world suspicious and lead to instability in the place!"

Many ministers stood up and objected, saying that behind them, they all represented a clan.

It's not that they, like the Huang family, have violated laws and disciplines. The reason why they oppose it is from the standpoint of the clan.

The imperial court's thorough investigation of clans meant that they wanted to weaken the rights of clans.

This is a bad sign for the clan.

"It is precisely because of the stability of the world that we need to clean up some cancers. Your Excellencies are so resolutely opposed. Could it be that you are committing an offense?"

Jia Xu said coldly, with murderous intent.

The ministers who stood up couldn't help but take two steps back. The person they faced was Jia Xu, who was ruthless and in charge of the secret guards.

But soon, they calmed down, and for the benefit of the clan, they would not hesitate to offend Jia Xu.

"Master Jia, the clan is also a part of Da Qin. It has made great contributions to Da Qin. How can you check it if you want?"

A gray-haired clan official who was calm and self-reliant knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, the humble minister who impeached Jia Xu is not well-intentioned and is trying to undermine the stability of the Qin Dynasty!"

"Your Majesty, we come from a clan, but we are loyal to the Qin Dynasty. If we let Jia Xu investigate thoroughly, how can we lose face?"

"Your Majesty, a person has a face and a tree has a bark. We are innocent. If we are thoroughly investigated, won't we lose our reputation?"

"Your Majesty, trees are afraid of being peeled off, and people are afraid of being sad!"

The other clan officials knelt on the ground one after another, crying and shouting.

On the imperial chair, Qin Wudao's expression changed slightly, because nearly half of the officials who stood up to oppose him, totaling more than 900 people.

This means that half of the people who rule the court in the world are from the clan.

How long has it been since?

Since he ascended the throne, he established the imperial examination system and selected talented people through examinations. At that time, clan officials in the imperial court accounted for one-tenth.

Later, as the territory expanded, in order to appease the clans in the newly occupied areas, Da Qin's policy of recruiting talents has become a system of coexistence of imperial examinations and clans.

Qin Wudao remembered that this system was first created two years ago!

At that time, the Eastern Territory was in chaos, and the five major forces were vying for supremacy. Da Qin occupied more than a hundred Dao domains in one go. Considering the lack of officials and to appease the clan, it had no choice but to change the original official selection system.

In just two years, more than half of the Chaotang clan officials have been appointed!

If the court is like this, what about that place?

You must know that the power of the clan is mainly scattered in the local areas. It has a rich family background and strong strength, which is equivalent to the earth emperor.

Zhuge Liang, Xiao He, Guo Jia and others also took a breath when they saw the minister kneeling on the ground.

The development of the clan is so rapid!

If it is not stopped, I am afraid that in a few years, the court will become the court of the clan!

Thinking of this, they looked at Jia Xu with a hint of gratitude. No wonder Jia Xu, who was usually cautious about his life, would openly oppose the clan in the court.

It turns out to be a clan problem that has threatened the country's future development.

"Everyone, can you ensure that all clans are innocent?"

Being criticized by everyone, Jia Xu turned around and asked without changing his expression.

The kneeling clan officials were stunned, unable to answer this question. It was impossible for all clans to be innocent. Even among them, there were quite a few problems.

"Master Jia, do you want to implicate all the clans just because one or two clans broke the law? This is too far-fetched!"

A clan official retorted.

His words were also supported by other clans.

Jia Xu's face froze, as if he had nothing to say after being questioned, he turned around and bent down and said: "Your Majesty, I didn't think carefully. I can't implicate all the clans because of Huang's crime. Please convict me!"

No one noticed that the moment he lowered his head, he showed a smile.

His 180-degree change in attitude made the clan ministers puzzled. Jia Xu was still aggressive just now, why did he back down and apologize now?

"I'm sending an order. Jia Xu made a mistake in what he said. He will be detained for three months and fined for half a year's salary. Come, please take him into custody!"

Qin Wudao had a gloomy face and ordered in a cold voice.

Two guards on duty walked into the palace, grabbed Jia Xu's arm, and escorted him out of the palace in front of all the civil and military officials.

"Your Majesty, Holy Ming!"

All the clan officials said with joy on their faces.

When they saw Jia Xu being punished, they thought they had won, but in fact, they lost from the beginning.

Jia Xu originally did not want to thoroughly investigate the clan, but just wanted to remind Qin Wudao that the clan was powerful and needed to be careful. However, the clan officials in Chaozhong objected and just cooperated with him.

Of course, if the clan officials do not stand up to object and the proposal for a thorough investigation is passed, he can also send secret guards to 'clean up' the clan.

No matter what, Jia Xu is sure to make money without losing money.

Qin Wudao's punishment of Jia Xu seemed serious, but in fact it was to protect Jia Xu.

Because, in the next three months, he will 'investigate' the clan!

Although the strength of the clan is far weaker than that of the imperial court, after the tide of spiritual energy, there are still emperor-level warriors. What if a dog jumps over the wall and assassinates Jia Xu?

In addition, the confinement of Jia Xu can also make the clan relax its vigilance!
