Chapter 1939 Two Kings
"How's the trial going at Dali Temple?" After pondering for a long time, Emperor Liu raised his head, as if he had changed his mood, and asked plainly.

"As far as I know, there is no progress!" After hearing the question, Yan Tuo replied intently.

"Although that Xiang Minzhong is rigid and conservative, he doesn't procrastinate in doing things. If he can be supported by Murong Chengde all the way, he must be a person who can do things!" Emperor Liu listened, and said lightly: "How about this matter, how to deal with it?" Is it so sloppy?"

Yan Tuo cupped his hands and made a bow, saying: "This Xiang Minzhong is afraid that he is still waiting for the official's order, and he will not be ordered. He dare not act rashly!"

"Isn't my instruction clear enough?" Emperor Liu turned his head to look at Yan Tuo with a look of wonder.

Yan Tuo said in a low voice: "During these days, Dali Temple is a bit lively. As the officials worry, there are many people who are concerned about Kang Ning, and there are also many people who can't sit still."

"Unexpectedly!" Emperor Liu smiled faintly, his smile was ugly, and he swiped his hand in the air with a tired force, and ordered: "Let those two people enter the palace!"

"Yes!"

Recently, Emperor Liu has received the most ministers, apart from Lu Duan and Yang Ye, they are the two envoys of the Imperial City and Wu De.After being greeted, Wang Jien and Wang Xuanzhen quickly entered the hall to pay homage. When they were waiting for the imperial edict, the two had obviously communicated once, and this time it was a rare joint mission between the two departments.

Wang Xuanzhen has changed a lot in the past few years, the original sexy mustache was replaced by thick long beard, obviously more old-fashioned, but the temperament of the whole person is also more restrained and deep.

Of course, in Wang Jien's eyes, these are the embodiment of insidiousness and cunning.Li Chongju's risk-taking recommendation at the beginning was not disappointed, and Wang Xuanzhen did a really good job in the position of Wude envoy.

After all, he grew up in the Wu Desi system and has been in a real position for a long time. Although Wang Yinwu's influence has been forcefully eliminated before, there is more or less lingering. No danger.

Compared with his uncle, Wang Xuanzhen's biggest difference is that he has a very high political vision and consciousness. He knew from the very beginning that he is a martial arts envoy who is barely in the position, and he still has old debts on his body. That is to settle the old and new accounts together.

And to resolve it, the most fundamental thing is not to get the support of many people, but the opinion of Emperor Liu.Wang Xuanzhen gained Emperor Liu's approval through his devotion to loyalty and sincerity in the past few years.

Wang Xuanzhen mainly did two things in his tenure as Wude Envoy. One was to further strengthen the discipline work on the basis of Li Chongju's rectification, completely reverse the many unhealthy ethos that occurred during Wang Yinwu's tenure, and deeply solve a large number of historical problems;

The second is the rectification of the prisoner camp. After the management of the prisoner camp was officially transferred from the local government to Wu Desi, the endless riots of prisoners before that were quickly contained. Strong control, of course, is behind the increase in the casualty rate of prison camps. Many people were not exhausted to death, but directly executed in secret. Wang Xuanzhen formulated a complete, strict and even cruel supervision system for them.

Wang Xuanzhen, after he really came to power, let alone be ruthless, he would far surpass his uncle and even any of his senior martial arts envoys in terms of vigor and resoluteness.However, this person knows how to hide, and he does it carefully. Under his control, Wu Desi has more dark layers and a wider scope.

However, after several years of hard work, Wang Xuanzhen's impression of Emperor Liu has been fundamentally strengthened. In Emperor Liu's view, this Wang Xuanzhen is probably the most competent and professionally capable of all the military virtue envoys.After all, other people, including his uncle Wang Yinwu, belonged to half-way monks, but Wang Xuanzhen grew up step by step from the Wu Desi system.

In the eyes of outsiders, Wu Desi is becoming more and more mysterious, and he is more and more on par with Huangcheng Secretary in terms of fear. Wang Jien, an old eunuch, naturally pays more attention to the changes in Wu Desi. Knowing the situation, he became unprecedentedly wary of Wang Xuanzhen of the younger generation just now, this kid is really not a good person.

Even when entering the palace, Wang Jien still observed Wang Xuanzhen's calm and indifferent face from the corner of his eye, his eyes were full of fear and jealousy.With Wang Xuanzhen's age and seniority, he actually controls the largest spy agency in the big man. In terms of real power, he is almost on the same level as the senior official, and even surpasses him. How can Wang Jien achieve a true psychological balance when the waves are coming? ?
However, when they arrived in front of the imperial court, both kings lowered their eyebrows and saluted respectfully.After casually glanced at the two, Emperor Liu called out, and then got straight to the point, saying, "Tell me about the results of your investigations in the past few days! I heard that Dali Temple is very lively, who are there?"

Obviously, putting Kang Ning in Dali Temple was just a fishing operation by Emperor Liu. Many people can see this, but even if they can see it, when the interests are related to the future, not many people can see it. You can hold back, otherwise Dali Temple will not be "popular".

Tonight was the beginning of Emperor Liu's "collection of the net". At the same time, he was also very curious and concerned about what kind of web of powerful and powerful interests Kang Ning had "woven".

The Huangcheng Division and the Wude Division have a division of labor in specific investigations. The Huangcheng Division mainly focuses on nobles, while the Wude Division is bureaucrats.Due to the issue of qualifications, Wang Jien naturally had to report first, and after submitting a report that was not too thick, Wang Jien began to introduce it in detail
The focus of Wang Jien's submission is still a list, a list of people involved with the Kang Corporation and classified according to the degree of involvement.Due to Emperor Liu's high attention, Wang Jien didn't dare to discount the investigation of this matter at all, so he basically reported it according to the facts.

There are indeed many nobles who have received the benefits of the Kang family, and the various nominal contacts are even more dazzling, but there are still a small number of people who are really "collaborating" with the Kang family.Although Wang Jien did not dare to directly replace Emperor Liu to make a judgment, the tendency in the report was like this.

Emperor Liu examined it carefully, but couldn't see any expression on his face, raised his eyelids slightly, and asked, "Is there any collusion between the Guangyang uncle's mansion?"

Wang Ji'en: "Recently, it has been very frequent. The Kang family has been very considerate to the Uncle Guangyang's residence. Before Kang Ning was arrested, he even visited him personally. After his arrest, the Kang family sent another box of gifts to the Uncle Guangyang's residence."

Emperor Liu only thought for a while, then asked again: "Did Li Chongjin also borrow money from the Kang family?"

Wang Jien was obviously very familiar with these situations, so he answered without hesitation: "It is Li Yanchang, the son of Uncle Gu Yang, who owes a lot of gambling debts. , this matter seems to have already happened, Uncle Gu Yang beat Li Yanchang, and he went to Yangyi Marquis Mansion in person yesterday, what the two discussed in detail has not yet been found out."

There was still no emotion on the old face, after a little memorization, Emperor Liu asked about the situation of other nobles, including the state uncle Li Ye, even Wang Yansheng's family and listened to the more detailed investigation results again.

All in all, the relationship between the nobles and the Kang family is that one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. The Kang family spares no effort to curry favor with the locals. The nobles, especially the descendants of the nobles, enjoy the filial piety of the Kang family with peace of mind, and even give Emperor Liu felt that they were collecting "protection fees".

Most of the Kang family targets are those nobles, and they are inevitably driven by Kang Ning, but in general, the nobles are still reserved. After all, the disparity in status and the dignity of the nobles make most people not take it seriously. The Kang family is too serious.
