Ouchi Cat Controlling, starting with the Ten Tiger Forms!
Chapter 653 Snake Shadow
"Your Majesty!"
The civil officials looked at King Zheng anxiously.
They all knew that there must be something fishy going on, but the current situation was not favorable, and they had no reasonable way to get out of it. They felt a little helpless for a while, and couldn't help but look for ideas from the backbone.
King Zheng just shook his head and said:
"It's not convenient to talk here, let's go to the posthouse first."
They stayed here for a long time, but the Emperor Yongyuan came up with such a fierce drama, which really made them a little unbearable.
Gao Yangang, the magistrate of Caiyun County, dared to bite King Zheng and said that he had evidence of guilt.
He was a small magistrate, and it was impossible for him to overthrow King Zheng, but it was enough to cause damage to King Zheng's prestige.
I don't know what kind of madness Gao Yangang had, and he spoke so unrestrainedly. I'm afraid he wouldn't do such a thing even if he had a bear heart and a leopard's courage.
Back to the posthouse, King Zheng summoned the officials in the room again.
During this southern tour, almost all the heads of the six ministries came, either the Shangshu himself or the Shilang accompanied him.
Almost half of the officials in Daxing officialdom who held real power came.
The remaining ones needed to maintain the operation of the court, so they had to stay in the capital.
I think the entourage for this southern tour was also carefully selected by Emperor Yongyuan, and there must be a reason for him.
Li Xuan, like yesterday, caught up with Prince Zheng and others early, and was already lying on the roof of the posthouse licking his paws.
Fortunately, he had foresight and reversed his biological clock for a day, and now he is very energetic.
"Prince, Gao Yanang is not in a good state. Even if he is too frightened, he should not be so stupid. Is there something strange?"
The voice was a little strange, and Li Xuan could not tell who it was.
This was only the second day of the southern tour, and he still had many people to recognize. There were too many officials accompanying him.
Emperor Yongyuan brought so many officials with him this time. Although nominally they were honored to tour the world with him, they were more likely to be transferred from the capital to avoid any trouble during Emperor Yongyuan's absence.
The person in charge of the capital now is the new Zhongshu Ling promoted by Emperor Yongyuan himself.
Li Xuan didn't know much about this new Zhongshu Ling, only that he was from a poor family and was not very old.
Although he was promoted to the position of Zhongshu Ling, he still couldn't order his subordinates around and was often targeted in the officialdom.
During the interval of the southern tour, it was unknown whether he could bring some surprises to Emperor Yongyuan.
As soon as Li Xuan was distracted, he heard the voice of King Zheng from under his butt.
"The letter they received was wrong. It seems that they were misled."
"One wrong step, all wrong steps."
King Zheng's voice sounded a little tired.
He had a headache for two days during the two days of the southern tour.
He held small meetings with civil servants every day. If this continued, it would be difficult for King Zheng not to be exhausted during this southern tour.
Everyone present knew very well that the preparations made by Emperor Yongyuan for this southern tour far exceeded their imagination.
Last night, the Ministry of Internal Affairs arrested assassins near the post station and spread the bodies on the ground at the door.
Although the civil officials did not say anything, they also knew what was going on.
But this was a private rivalry between Emperor Yongyuan and Prince Zheng, and they could not get involved casually, so they could only pretend not to know.
But now the situation has become more and more serious, and Emperor Yongyuan is determined to deal with the corrupt officials along the way.
They have controlled the government for so many years. How can they not know what kind of morals the officials are now?
If they continue to arrest people like this, sooner or later the fire will burn on their own heads.
By then...
Just as they shouted "destroy the three clans" and "death by slow slicing", they will be shouted back.
If you mess around, you will always have to pay for it.
Of course, they are all the people who have climbed to the top of the officialdom. If it is their turn, the sky of Daxing will also change.
This kind of thing is not something they can stop just because they want to stop it.
Several high officials present had different thoughts, but they all glanced at King Zheng in tacit understanding.
Whether the situation would change or not still depended on this person.
King Zheng sighed and told several people truthfully:
"It seems that my messenger was not spared last night, so he was tricked."
"But you don't have to care too much about Gao Yanang's matter."
"He's just a county magistrate, and he's dead if he dies."
"People always have to take responsibility for their own mistakes."
When saying this, King Zheng's eyes were calm, and it was hard to guess what he was thinking.
"Then tomorrow..." someone asked.
"Let Gao Yanang bite randomly, he will always go crazy before he dies, but who can he bite with his teeth?"
King Zheng's tone was calm, as if he was telling a very common fact.
Gao Yanang bit King Zheng, and he had the greatest impact on him.
The civil officials were so anxious just now, and they also took the opportunity to express their attitude.
They can tolerate mistakes, but they can never tolerate betrayal.
Gao Yanang may not have to die at the beginning, but he is definitely going to die now.
Even if Emperor Yongyuan could spare him, the civil officials could not let him live.
"Since the prince has made up his mind, we are relieved."
Since the person involved, Prince Zheng, has said so much, it is not good for others to continue asking.
After all, Gao Yanang is not biting them.
And with so many of them, no one can be the Prince of Zheng.
They are not afraid that Gao Yanang can do something to the Prince of Zheng, but they are afraid that if this matter is not handled well, it will open a loophole for the people behind.
Tomorrow, if Emperor Yongyuan spares Gao Yanang's life based on his performance, then combined with the previous case in Jinghou County, wouldn't everyone else follow suit?
Gao Yanang was confused and bit the hard-to-bite golden Buddha of King Zheng.
But what if someone else learns and bites other clay sculptures and wood carvings?
At that time, Emperor Yongyuan, who already dislikes them, can legitimately prevent them from ever returning to the capital.
These officials are more shrewd than one another, and they figured this out instantly in the county government just now, so they were so excited.
Now that King Zheng has given a guarantee, they won't ask any more questions.
After all, if tomorrow's affairs are not handled well, King Zheng will suffer the most.
The more consolidated a group is, the less it can withstand the fluctuations of people's hearts.
The officials in King Zheng's room quickly dispersed, and King Zheng also went to bed early to rest with the help of his attendants.
Although he had only been out for two days, King Zheng was already exhausted.
In the first half of the night, the posthouse became quiet, with only a few officials who were still awake discussing today's events.
But the content was irrelevant, just some gossip.
Li Xuan sensed the surroundings and found that the posthouse tonight was very deserted.
"Didn't you send another secret guard?"
Li Xuan found that there was no one around the posthouse, and he couldn't help looking at the room under his feet, revealing a thoughtful look.
But he shook his head soon and gave up the impulsive plan that had just emerged.
"It's impossible that there is no back-up, and it's not good to just kill him like this."
Li Xuan had to admit that he had just thought about taking action directly, killing King Zheng, and solving the internal division crisis of Daxing.
Not to mention whether King Zheng had a way to save his life, even if he could really kill King Zheng on the spot, this crisis would probably not be eliminated so easily.
King Zheng's followers, especially those loyal to King Zheng, would never stop.
Anyway, they have been preparing for many years, and they can continue to rebel when they raise the banner of revenge for King Zheng.
Moreover, Emperor Yongyuan also had a bad reputation. At that time, all the chaos in the world could be attributed to his incompetence, which gave these rebels a reason to raise the banner of rebellion.
Unless they had no choice, both Emperor Yongyuan and King Zheng wanted to fight for a "legitimate name" for themselves.
Li Xuan sighed and felt that these things were too troublesome.
"If I were invincible, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
Li Xuan could only comfort himself in this way.
There were too many things to consider, so he had to make such careful calculations.
Li Xuan stayed at the post house for another half an hour. Seeing that there seemed to be nothing to do tonight, he left here first and went back to report the situation.
This was also the code of conduct that had been agreed upon long ago, and Li Xuan just acted according to the plan.
Back at the county government office, Li Xuan saw that Xu Lang was on duty, so he went to greet him first.
"Meow."
"Master Xuan."
Xu Lang replied in a low voice.
He gestured to the eunuch in flowery clothes under his command, and then went to a secluded corner with Li Xuan.
At this time, everyone in the county government was resting, so it was not appropriate for them to talk outside the door.
"By the way, I forgot how those people were caught just now?"
"Where is Chief Steward Shang, is he back?"
Li Xuan had gone directly to follow King Zheng and others, and had no time to ask Xu Lang about these details.
Hearing Li Xuan's voice transmission, Xu Lang smiled slightly and said:
"Master Xuan, you don't know."
"Those fugitives were trapped in a small courtyard by Chief Steward Shang using magic. They all rode on the kind of small wooden horses that children play with, and they rocked so hard that they didn't stop even when they were exhausted, which made the brothers dumbfounded."
Xu Lang couldn't hold back the smile on his face when he thought of the situation at that time.
"We got the news from the general manager and went to the place to arrest the person."
"After the old general manager Shang handed the person over to us, he lifted the illusion, and then he looked like he did in the county government office."
"I didn't expect Gao Yanang to be so confused that he dared to bite out King Zheng."
Xu Lang shook his head gently, knowing that this person might be in danger.
But for them, this is a good thing.
"Did he get the evidence of his crime?"
Li Xuan was still more concerned about this matter.
"The so-called evidence of his crime in Gao Yanang's mouth is just a few letters and some rewards from King Zheng."
"It's hard to make King Zheng apologize with these things alone, but the general manager has already made up his mind and ordered others to take charge."
Li Xuan's eyes widened when he heard it.
But then he immediately accepted the reality.
"After all, he is a professional, so he moves quickly."
It's as easy for Zhao Feng to forge some evidence as eating and drinking water.
Li Xuan has seen this before.
It's just that the degree needs to be grasped well, so that King Zheng will suffer a loss, but not to the extent of forcing him into a dead end.
Now we should focus on weakening.
Zhao Feng will naturally understand this matter.
Otherwise, Li Xuan believes that Zhao Feng has the ability to rush to make a new dragon robe that fits King Zheng overnight.
Li Xuan nodded, and he was very relieved to leave these things to professionals like Zhao Feng.
"By the way, where are those people imprisoned, are they guarded enough?"
Li Xuan couldn't sleep tonight, and planned to find something to do after reporting the situation later.
"Don't worry, Master Xuan, there are masters of the palace arranged by His Majesty to guard them personally."
The masters of the inner palace mentioned by Xu Lang are not in the same system as their inner house, but another force controlled by Emperor Yongyuan.
Even if Emperor Yongyuan trusts the inner house, he still needs to manage the forces at hand separately, which is also to prevent King Zheng from finding out their details.
Like Li Jingmen and Wang Xi, the eunuch in charge of the lamp of Emperor Yongyuan, are included in this list.
It seems that Li Xuan is not needed to guard the prisoners.
Li Xuan wanted to continue asking, Xu Lang answered first:
"After the old steward Shang handed the person to us, he should have come back to report, but I haven't seen him in the county government."
Li Xuan nodded, no longer asked, and went into the house to report to Emperor Yongyuan.
Emperor Yongyuan hadn't slept yet, and Li Xuan conveyed the content of the discussion of King Zheng and others in the post house without missing a word.
"It seems that they are planning to settle the matter peacefully."
After listening to this, Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help but smile.
Their offensive has been very smooth in the past two days, causing King Zheng to retreat step by step, and even Emperor Yongyuan couldn't help feeling proud.
How suffocated he was in the capital before, how happy he was these few days, finally let him find some confidence to be an emperor.
Otherwise, he really thought that the emperor's life was such a cowardly life.
Seeing that Emperor Yongyuan did not make any arrangements for him, Li Xuan could not help asking:
"My schedule is reversed now, I can't sleep at night, what should I do next?"
Emperor Yongyuan smiled and replied: "I think you have nothing to do tonight, if you can't sleep, go and accompany Mr. Shang."
"He is accompanying Zhao Feng to investigate the residences of officials in Caiyun County, you go and see if you can help."
Hearing that Shang Zongguan and Zhao Feng were together, Li Xuan also wanted to join in the fun.
He really wanted to see what Zhao Feng could do.
Li Xuan was about to say goodbye to Emperor Yongyuan and leave, but suddenly heard a noise coming from outside the window.
Bang——
The sound of fireworks exploding came from outside the window, and Li Xuan and Emperor Yongyuan's faces changed immediately.
They hurried to the outside of the room and saw the fireworks fading in the sky.
This is an emergency signal from the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Li Xuan looked in the direction, which was not the direction of the post house, but the residential area of Caiyun County.
He remembered what Emperor Yongyuan had just said, and did not dare to delay any time, leaving a word and disappearing.
"I'll go see meow!"
"Ah Xuan, be careful!"
Emperor Yongyuan hurriedly told him, but there was no sign of Li Xuan.
"Tang Nu, you go too."
After Emperor Yongyuan finished speaking, a voice immediately responded:
"Yes, Your Majesty."
At this time, Wang Xi came to Emperor Yongyuan from nowhere and persuaded him:
"Your Majesty, it's cold at night, let's go in and wait."
Emperor Yongyuan knew that Wang Xi was worried about his safety, nodded and turned back to the house.
Wang Xi followed closely and closed the door tightly.
At the same time, the attendant of King Zheng in the post house also noticed the movement in the city.
"Your Majesty, there is movement in the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
The attendant came to King Zheng's window and said softly.
King Zheng didn't even open his eyes, just turned over and ordered nonchalantly:
"Go to sleep."
...
Li Xuan rushed to the place where the signal was sent in the blink of an eye, and saw that it was in chaos.
Zhao Feng and the chief monk were fighting with two teams of eunuchs in flowery clothes.
And the ones fighting with them were not top masters, but slender shadows surging all over the ground. At first glance, it looked like thousands of poisonous snakes gathered together.
The dark snake shadows surged towards the eunuchs in flowery clothes like a wave. No matter how many they cut off, there would be more. They could only be forced to retreat continuously, and there were dangers everywhere.
Anyone who was touched by the snake shadow would make a hissing sound on their clothes and skin, and produce bursts of white smoke, which was obviously extremely dangerous.
Li Xuan looked at the snake shadow and frowned.
"What is this?"
