Chapter 681

~8 min read 1,485 words

As Shi Lei and others surrendered under Lu Yang's influence, one old case after another was turned over, all of which were done by the Fifth Prince to win people's hearts.

The Ministry of Justice became busy, even busier than when the Fourth Prince rebelled.

The Fourth Prince's rebellion was not a small matter, but it was just one case, and it was troublesome to catch people at most.

But the Fifth Prince's case this time is different. The number of cases is large, the scope of influence is wide, and it involves many officials in the court.

The Ministry of Justice interrogated Shi Lei and others overnight. The good news is that Shi Lei and others had a good attitude of admitting mistakes, answered every question, and because Shi Lei and others were the Fifth Prince's dirty gloves, they mastered a lot of evidence, helping the Ministry of Justice save a lot of effort.

The First Prince Jiang Qun regretted disguising himself as his father to sit on the throne, with endless memorials, bitter soup medicine that is said to slightly extend his lifespan, and dealing with various elders in the harem...

"Fortunately, the Right Prime Minister and the Left Prime Minister are not in seclusion and can share some pressure for me."

Many unimportant memorials were handled by the Right Prime Minister and the Left Prime Minister, allowing the First Prince to breathe a little.

Although it was not difficult for him to handle these memorials, it was very boring, and he was now using his father's identity, so he couldn't do many things.

"It's still better to travel incognito. I don't know what step Father has reached now."

Jiang Qun opened a memorial, which was sent by the Jizhou Governor, saying that the traces of the Great Yu remnants were found in Jizhou, suspected to have a Great Yu Tribulation Transcendence stage, and he had contacted the army stationed in Jizhou, asking the army to search for the Great Yu remnants together, but considering that the strength of the Great Yu remnants was unknown, he requested the imperial court to send reinforcements.

"Since that's the case, let the Luoshui Guards go to Jizhou."

Just as Jiang Qun was about to handle the next memorial, he saw Eunuch Li come to report.

"Report to Your Majesty, Minister of Justice Xu Xin requests an audience."

"Let him in."

Xu Xin walked into the main hall with square steps and bowed to Jiang Qun: "Xu Xin pays respects to Your Majesty."

"Minister Xu, please rise."

"Yes."

"Minister Xu, what is the matter?"

Xu Xin took out a small booklet, which was presented to Jiang Qun by Eunuch Li.

Jiang Qun took the small booklet, a bit puzzled: "This is?"

"Your Majesty, this is the crime committed by the Fifth Prince."

"Who?" Jiang Qun thought he had heard wrong.

"The crime of the Fifth Prince, Jiang Tang."

Jiang Qun was so scared that he hurriedly flipped through it with his spiritual sense, his eyes jumping. The various crimes of the Fifth Prince were listed on the booklet, and many accumulated secret cases of the imperial court had explanations.

"Time is tight, and the minister is worried about alerting the enemy, so only part of the crimes have been found to be proven."

Even part of the crimes was big enough. If all of them were implemented, the Fifth Prince's end would not be much better than the Fourth Prince's.

The only difference is that the crimes committed by the Fifth Prince do not need to exterminate the nine clans, and Jiang Qun does not need to pardon himself again.

... No, the Fourth Prince's matter just calmed down, why is it the Fifth Prince's turn to jump?

I have only been a temporary emperor for three days, and two brothers have fallen into my hands.

Father, when you were emperor, why didn't you deal with anyone? After you left, things all came?

In history, there is no lack of princes supervising the country, but there has never been a prince who dealt with other princes while supervising the country.

Dealing with one is enough, but dealing with two, what will future generations think when they see this history?

"How were these things investigated?" Jiang Qun knew that Xu Xin was meticulous and reliable and would not fabricate things to deceive him.

And even if he fabricated, he wouldn't dare to fabricate like this.

He was just curious.

"It was confessed by the Fifth Prince's guest Shi Lei and others."

"Is Shi Lei so honest?" Jiang Qun frowned.

"According to Shi Lei and others, they were persuaded by Lu Yang to come to the Ministry of Justice to surrender."

Jiang Qun couldn't help but hold his forehead. The Fourth Prince's matter was reported by Lu Yang, and the Fifth Prince's matter was also inseparable from Lu Yang. Lu Yang, are you trying to send all my brothers in to facilitate my ascension?

"Did Lu Yang persuade them to surrender alone?"

"This is unknown, but Shi Lei and they said that when Lu Yang persuaded them, there was also a cultivator named Xia Tian present."

Jiang Qun: "..."

Isn't Xia Tian Father's pseudonym?

I knew this matter was not that simple. It really is Father's intention!

Luo Tian Forest, the Decayed Fairy is holding a meeting, sitting in a circle with Senior Senior Ao Ling, Jiang Jiang Lianyi, Jin Jin Caiwei, and the Xia Di.

"It's rare for everyone to get together. Today's meeting has only one purpose, and that is that I am preparing to establish a brand new dynasty. The name of the dynasty has already been thought of, called the Great Dou Dynasty."

As soon as these words came out, Senior Senior Ao Ling and the other four straightened their backs slightly, all shocked by the Decayed Fairy's words.

Some were shocked at establishing a new dynasty, and some were shocked at the name of the dynasty.

"The sage said that the position of the master of the world should be occupied by those with virtue. Like me, a person born with virtue, I should be the emperor."

Senior Senior Ao Ling and Jiang Jiang Lianyi clapped their hands, looking at the Decayed Fairy with burning eyes. Does the Decayed Sister finally have the heart to compete for the world?

The Decayed Fairy showed a smile, pressed down, signaling Little Ling and Jiang Lianyi not to be like this, and then continued:

"I look at the long river of history, every change of dynasty is full of blood and fire, the people are miserable, and the world is suffering. This is against my will."

The Decayed Fairy's speech was written by Lu Yang in the spiritual space. While the Decayed Fairy read it, she played freely.

"I think that establishing a brand new dynasty does not necessarily have to go through war. It can be done through peaceful means."

"For example, I once cooperated with the Fourth Prince, reported the Fourth Prince for rebellion, and let the Jiang family collapse from within through the method of exterminating the nine clans."

"But I didn't expect that the Jiang family ancestors had some means and stipulated the amnesty system in advance, breaking my plan. It is really a difficult opponent to deal with!"

"But it doesn't matter. Things are never smooth sailing. The process of starting a business is always arduous. I believe that as long as everyone is united, there is no difficulty that cannot be solved!"

The Decayed Fairy stood on the table, shouting with her arms raised: "Everyone, are you willing to establish a new dynasty with me!"

"I am willing!"

Senior Senior Ao Ling and Jiang Jiang Lianyi don't need to ask more. They unconditionally support whatever the Decayed Fairy does.

"Good, then I will appoint you two as Great Generals."

After the Decayed Fairy shouted, she jumped off the table with a 'hey-ho' and looked at Jin Jin Caiwei: "Little Tiger, what about you?"

Jin Jin Caiwei had no thoughts about establishing a new dynasty, but since Senior Senior Ao Ling and Jiang Jiang Lianyi both supported it, if she didn't support it, she would be at a disadvantage, which was unbearable.

"I am also willing!"

"I will also appoint you as a Great General."

The four women aimed their eyes at the Xia Di, their eyes as if they could speak. Then what about you?

The Xia Di felt his scalp go numb from being stared at by these people. You all agreed. If I don't agree, is it not very gregarious?

The Xia Di had to raise his hand slowly: "I also agree."

"I will appoint you as Prime Minister."

The Tribulation Transcendence stage responsible for protecting the Xia Di in secret saw this scene and marveled. He had lived for thousands of years and had never seen such a thing.
