The moment Qi Ning stood up, he knew that the Sima family would definitely target him in the future.
But he knew more clearly in his heart that if he was afraid today and let Sima start a big case, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The next cleanup of the Sima Clan is bound to be extremely bloody, and taking this opportunity, all forces that threaten Sima Clan will suffer a bloody cleanup. Once everything is as Sima Clan wishes, to At that time, the Sima family was naturally one-sided in the court, and no one dared to obey.
Qi Ning understood even more that if no one stood up today, then the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty would definitely be silent to the Sima Clan, and the Sima Clan’s dominance would inevitably be formed.
Standing up by himself, although it will become a thorn in Sima’s eyes, at least it will let the courtiers know that after King Huainan, no one dares to resist Sima.
Qi Ning knew that his foundation in the court was still shallow, and he saw the situation clearly today. He knew that not all the courtiers were willing to obey the Sima Clan. Holding a grudge in his heart, but standing up on his own will naturally make the people of King Huainan see him as a savior.
Qi Ning just weighed it for a long time and knew that if he was too afraid to come out, he would lose a golden opportunity. If he wanted to fight against the Sima Clan, he would definitely have more than enough power, but after he stood up, The more tit for tat with Sima, the more favored the officials under the King of Huainan will be, and won a lot of power.
Su Zhen stood up and confirmed the conjecture in Qi Ning’s heart.
The sacrificial ceremony lasted until the afternoon. Originally, according to the previous plan, the emperor and the officials had to stay overnight in the imperial tomb, but today such a big event happened. After the sacrificial ceremony, Longtai immediately decreed to return to the capital immediately.
The Black Sabre Camp and the Black Scale Camp did not return to their respective camps, but returned to the capital with the holy chariot. They arrived outside the capital in the middle of the night, and the two teams stayed outside the city until the dragon chariot entered the capital. parted ways.
Since the emperor went to the imperial mausoleum yesterday, the capital began to impose a curfew, so when he entered the capital, the entire capital was silent. Chi Fengdian called out a part of his troops to escort a group of criminals into the prison, and then escorted the holy car with Baiguan. Imperial City.
After the group of ministers sent the emperor to the imperial city, they each returned. Qi Ning was about to return to the mansion when Chi Fengdian approached and said in a low voice, “Master Hou, the emperor has a decree to declare that you should enter the palace immediately.”
Knowing the little emperor’s thoughts, Qi Ning followed Chi Fengdian into the palace and reached the imperial study room. Before entering, he heard a crackling sound from inside. Qi Ning frowned slightly and probed in carefully, only to see Longtai grabbing his hand. The things are smashing to the ground angrily.
Qi Ning sighed inwardly, knowing that today the little emperor has been holding back, but after all, he was young, and after returning to the palace, the anger in his heart poured out.
Longtai saw Qi Ning standing at the door, not speaking, sitting on the chair with his buttocks, his face cold and terrifying.
Qi Ning leaned forward, the little emperor glanced at him, gritted his teeth and said, “Qining, if the Black Scale Camp hadn’t arrived in time today, would that old thief Sima Lan have killed me?”
Qi Ning said softly, “Your Majesty, although Sima Lan is very ambitious, he doesn’t dare to do anything to you right now. To be able to get rid of King Huainan today is a great success for the Sima family.”
“The king of Huainan is absolutely stupid.” Longtai couldn’t hide his anger: “He wanted to get rid of Sima Lan, but he was completely counted by Sima Lan. Let these two restrain each other, but now that the King of Huainan is gone, and the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, who else can resist Sima Lan? He is in charge of the government and has the Black Sword Battalion in his hands. I always thought that Qian Raoshun was a man of the King of Huainan. I didn’t expect Qian Raoshun to bite the King of Huainan back today…!”
Qi Ning sat down on the chair next to him, stared at Longtai, hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, “Your Majesty, forgive me for asking, the King of Huainan attacked Sima Lan in the imperial tomb.
Can you hear the wind beforehand?
The King of Huainan secretly communicated with Chi Fengdian. Is Chi Fengdian a loyal or a traitor?
”
Longtai was stunned for a moment, his expression was solemn, he pondered for a while, and then said: “I will not hide it from you, the King of Huainan wanted to use the Yulin camp to deal with the Sima family, and Chi Fengdian did report it to me.”
Qi Ning sighed, “So the emperor is going to use the King of Huainan to get rid of Sima Lan?”
“Sima Lan is deeply ingrained in the court. Even without Qian Raoshun’s rebellion, the King of Huainan would not be able to bring down Sima Lan with the case of Hu Bowen.” Long Tai said, “I just want to see how much means the King of Huainan can come up with. What means does Sima Lan have to fight back?” He clenched his fist: “In the final analysis, I have overestimated the King of Huainan and underestimated Sima Lan.”
Qi Ning said: “So, the emperor wanted to take this opportunity to see how powerful these two are?”
Long Tai said: “After Chi Fengdian secretly reported this matter, I did not mention it to anyone. I ordered Chi Fengdian to be responsible for the guarding of the imperial tomb, just in case, as long as Yulin Camp was present, whether it was the King of Huainan Even Sima Lan can’t make a big storm, but I didn’t expect that Sima Lan would be so daring and dare to secretly mobilize the Black Sabre Battalion.”
“The emperor is still too hasty.” Qi Ning said: “In the final analysis, Sima Lan is still too old and cunning.”
“Before your mission to Dongqi, the minister of household Feng Ruohai impeached Sima Changshen, but he had no choice but to succeed. Instead, he was thrown into prison by the Sima family with evidence.” Long Tai frowned and said, “Since that time, hundreds of officials in the imperial court have Knowing that the Sima family was hidden, many people approached the Sima family. When you were on a mission to Dongqi, the Sima family made people continue to impeach people from the King of Huainan, and the evidence was conclusive. Five or six courtiers have been dismissed by the Sima family, so the people under the King of Huainan are worried day and night, lest they be targeted by the Sima family.”
Qi Ning nodded slightly and said, “King Huainan is naturally anxious when he sees the people on his side being brought down in succession. Now it seems that the Sima family’s continuous impeachment against the King of Huainan is intended to make the King of Huainan angry. The heart of Huainan angered King Huainan to take action. Sima Lan, fearing that King Huainan would not act rashly, deliberately set a trap in Sima Mansion to get rid of the commander of the palace guards.
“It seems that is true.” Longtai said angrily: “Sima Lan dug a big trap for King Huainan and led King Huainan to step in, not only did King Huainan fall into Sima Lan’s trap, even I didn’t see it. Show Sima Lan’s intentions.”
Qi Ning sighed: “Your Majesty, King Huainan’s action this time was indeed too hasty, but he was very careful before he started. The assassins that King Huainan recruited were all shadow mice on the rivers and lakes, not the wild warriors on the rivers and lakes. Originally, he was worried about the rumors. It’s just that he didn’t count the biggest omission on his side, Qian Raoshun was bought by Sima Lan, and all the plans of King Huainan were under Sima Lan’s control, and it was doomed to fail from the very beginning.”
“Shadow Mouse?” Long Tai looked at Qi Ning: “Did you know that King Huainan recruited assassins? I didn’t know beforehand that King Huainan had colluded with Headmaster Lingxu, and installed assassins among the Taoist priests in Longhu Mountain.”
Qi Ning shook his head: “I only know that the shadow mice are haunting the capital, but I don’t know that it was arranged by the King of Huainan. I have been investigating the whereabouts of the shadow mice for the past few days, and I will report to the emperor after I master their plans. I always thought that the target of this group of shadow mice was the Prince of Dongqi, but I didn’t expect them to appear in the imperial tomb.”
“So that’s the case.” Only then did Longtai understand, and after a moment of indifference, he said, “You have helped me a lot by mobilizing the Black Scale Battalion today. If the Black Scale Battalion hadn’t arrived in time, the Sima family would definitely not back down. If there is a major case, he will cut off his dissidents, but if a major case is launched at this time, our country will inevitably become unstable, giving people an opportunity to take advantage of it.”
“Your Majesty, Sima Lan will not stop here.” Qi Ning’s expression was stern: “Today in the Emperor’s Mausoleum, he saw that the time to start a major case has not come, so he temporarily restrained a little bit, but this is by no means the end. It’s a great opportunity, how can the Sima family let it go.” After a pause, he said softly: “I only worry that the Sima family will become more arrogant from now on, and now Sima Lan is still in charge of the government, if you want to tell the emperor at that time. A non-discriminatory request…!”
“I will tolerate it.” Long Tai sneered: “I want to see what he wants to get.” Staring at Qi Ning’s eyes, he said: “But Sima Lan wants to cut off his dissidents, I must not let him succeed. Let him be reckless, and it won’t take long for the civil and military affairs of the whole dynasty to be his henchmen, and I will really become his puppet.”
Qi Ning nodded and said, “Yes, there are at least some officials in the court who do not want to submit to the power of the Sima Clan. These people must be preserved.”
“Qining, UU Reading www.sonicmtl.com I want you to do me a big favor.” Long Tai’s eyes were sharp and he whispered: “After the big wedding, Sima Lan will definitely bring up the case of the Huainan King Yu Dang, and I can’t let him succeed. , so it’s better to strike first.”
“First strike is stronger?” Qi Ning was taken aback.
“That’s right.” Long Tai said: “The chaos of the king of Huainan will soon be spread. If I don’t order a thorough investigation, I will be told by others. So I immediately ordered that I will give you a thorough investigation into the case of the henchmen of the king of Huainan. , only in this way will the Sima family not be allowed to do anything wrong.”
“Let… let me be in charge of this case?” Qi Ning was greatly surprised.
“You are the most suitable candidate.” Long Tai said: “You have never had a deep friendship with the King of Huainan, and you are not close to the Sima family, so if you take the post, at least you will not let the people in the court and the opposition think that you are biased. My heart. Today I dismissed Qian Raoshun, the position of the Minister of Punishment is vacant, Sima Lan will definitely let his people sit in this position, how can I let him succeed.”
Qi Ning understood and said, “Your Majesty wants me to hold the Punishment Department first, so as not to fall into the hands of Sima Lan, and then try my best to prevent Sima Lan from eradicating his dissidents.”
“That’s right.” Long Tai said, “To thoroughly investigate the case of King Huainan, only the Ministry of Punishment can investigate it. As long as you hold the Ministry of Punishment, the Sima family will not be able to call the shots on this case.”
Qi Ning thoughtfully said softly, “Your Majesty, I have no ability to punish me, and I have never done an errand in the Ministry of Punishment before. If I suddenly sit in that position, will I be dissatisfied?”
Longtai smiled coldly and said, “In those days, Sima Lan was also named a marquis first, and he did not serve as an official in the Ministry of Personnel. Later, when the official of the Ministry of Personnel became an official, there was no suitable candidate for the vacant position for a while. The father ordered that Sima Lan should take the post for the time being, and Sima. Since then, Lan has been sitting in the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, there are cars in front and ruts in the back, I have ordered you to take charge of the Department of Punishment, and Sima Lan can’t say anything.”
