The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 431 Peace of Mind
Seeing the shocked and angry eyes of the emperor in front of him but not daring to speak, Jiang Chuan felt a bit of intolerance in his heart, but his reason quickly put this bit of intolerance behind him.

"Your Majesty, the prince violated the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime. I will definitely investigate whether the Marquis of Hancheng is involved in this matter, and your majesty will not have to worry about it. Please rest assured, your majesty, I will not listen to rumors. Your majesty and the queen mother will rest in peace in the palace. That's it."

This sentence can be regarded as giving the emperor a face, letting him know that he will not involve the people in the palace.But Marquis Hancheng don't want to keep it.

For Jiang Chuan, although the Marquis of Hancheng was not the most important of these chaotic parties, he had the closest relationship with the royal family.Cleaning up the Marquis of Hancheng is enough to deter the royal family.

Without the guards of these courtiers, the royal family is actually left with orphans and widows, and there is nothing to worry about.

The emperor's face was pale, looking at Jiang Chuan with an indifferent face, he opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, just leaned back on the chair slumped.

"Eunuch Wei, the emperor is tired, let's send the royal family back to the palace to rest." Jiang Chuan glanced at Wei Zhongxian who was stunned beside him and said lightly.

"Your servant obeys!" Wei Zhongxian hurriedly helped the emperor up, and led a few eunuchs to support the emperor and walked out of the imperial garden.

As soon as the emperor left, he had already fallen to the ground, and the frightened Hanchenghou was dragged down by Jiang Chuan's personal guards.

When all the chaotic parties were dragged away, the rest of the people were silent, looking at each other in blank dismay, all lowered their heads and dared not speak, the atmosphere was extremely depressed.

Naturally, Jiang Chuan will not really put all these people in prison. Although he is covering the sky with one hand now, if he wants to really control the court, it is impossible to really drive everyone away as he said just now.

If you really dare to do that, not to mention infamy, but the court will be shut down.

This huge imperial court cannot be supported by Jiang Chuan and the few people under him, that is obviously unrealistic.

The so-called Weiwei Huaide, the few scenes just now were demonstrations, and now it is natural to start showing favor.

However, he had just established an iron-blooded and ruthless image. It would be inappropriate to put on a smiling face to comfort him, so he glanced at the chief assistant Xia Junze who was sitting in the first seat of the left-hand civil servant.

Xia Junze understood, nodded to him, got up and said in a loud voice: "My lords, just listen to what this old man said. His Highness King Qin is the pillar of our Great Ming, and now he is entrusted with the important task of regent by His Majesty. As ministers of the Great Ming, we naturally I will definitely follow the order and assist Your Highness wholeheartedly. Now that there are so many rebellious officials and thieves colluding with bandits in the imperial court, the old man is also deeply saddened, and His Highness King Qin is even more displeased.

His Highness's action to eradicate adultery is really satisfying. Wei Guogong and others deserved their own guilt.However, His Highness clearly distinguishes rewards and punishments, and discusses the matter according to the facts, and will never implicate innocent people at will. Please rest assured, as long as you perform your duties, His Highness will see it in your eyes. "

Jiang Chuan gave Xia Junze an appreciative look, he handed the ladder very well.

Moreover, Jiang Chuan also heard the persuasive meaning in Xia Junze's words, and advised him not to expand the scope of his involvement.

"Elder Ge's words are very true. This king has always distinguished merits and demerits. Today Wei Guogong Liu Lin and others colluded with bandits to murder this king and overthrow the Ming court. It is a heinous crime. Xia Junze obeys orders!" Jiang Chuan suddenly raised his voice.

The first assistant Xia Junze hurriedly stood up and knelt down on the ground and said in a deep voice: "The minister is here!"

"My king ordered you to organize the three courts to conduct three joint trials of Liu Lin and others' rebellion. After the trial is completed within three days, the verdict will be reported to this king. In addition, criminals are strictly prevented from arbitrarily harassing others. If there is no real evidence, they will not be held accountable. " Jiang Chuan said in a deep voice.

"I would like to obey the order of the regent!" Xia Junze relaxed in his heart, and shouted to accept the order.

When the other ministers heard it, they were also greatly relieved, and they couldn't help but kneel down and shouted in unison: "Your Highness, Shengming!"

What they are most afraid of is naturally that during the trial, these people will randomly scramble in order to find someone to back them up. If the regent deliberately allows these people to scramble at will, then I don't know how many people will be dragged into the water.

What Jiang Chuan said was naturally to give them a reassurance and let them put their hearts in their stomachs for the time being.

Looking at the civil and military officials who knelt down in front of him, Jiang Chuan was actually quite excited.

In any case, after all, he is still a young man full of vigor and vigor.

"All the gentlemen are flat."

After all the officials were seated again, Jiang Chuan said with a smile: "Don't think about these people and things that are disappointing. The sun will continue to rise tomorrow, you still have to eat, you still have to sleep, and you still have to continue doing work." .In his position, seek his position, keep his duty, don't think about things you shouldn't think about, don't say things you shouldn't say, don't take money you shouldn't take, this is my king's most basic to you requirements. If you can do this, you can sleep peacefully, eat with peace of mind, and don’t have to worry about losing your head at any time.”

"The ministers will abide by His Highness's will, keep their own place, and perform their own duties." All the ministers said in unison.

"Okay, for the time being, Mr. Xia Ge will continue to manage the cabinet. As for whether the cabinet candidates need to be adjusted, Mr. Ge will draw up a charter and show it to the king. The affairs of other yamen will remain as usual until there are no new regulations. "Jiang Chuan continued.

"I obey the order!" Xia Junze said loudly.

Letting Xia Junze continue to lead the cabinet is also to calm people's hearts, and of course it is also temporary.After all, apart from Su Qin who is basically available under Jiang Chuan's hands, Liu Ji is still in Liaodong, and Hu Zongxian is still in Qingzhou.

Any one of these two people has the talent of a prime minister, but it is a pity that they are not around, so for the time being, they can only maintain the stability of the court's personnel, and make plans after Liu Ji and the others come to the capital.

Jiang Chuan's king's order made all the officials feel more at ease, and their expressions relaxed a lot, and they were no longer the panicked look just now.

"Okay, raise your glasses!" Jiang Chuan sat back in his seat, raised his glass and said loudly.

The ministers did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly toasted together.

After the big turmoil tonight, no one is still in the mood to eat and drink, and everyone can't wait to go home early to calm down their frightened hearts.

It's just that Jiang Chuan refused to let him go, and no one dared to mention the matter of leaving, so they could only bite the bullet and drink with him.

Jiang Chuan also knew what the officials were thinking, and he didn't want to see these people, so he announced his departure after a few drinks.

All the ministers resigned one after another, and finally only Xia Junze, Xia Jiang, and Bai Mu, the chief ministers of the cabinet, remained.

The maids and eunuchs of the palace vacated the remnant seats, and brought snacks, herbal tea and other things.

Jiang Chuan and Xia Junze sat facing each other in a stone pavilion in the imperial garden, Xia Jiang, commander of Jin Yiwei, stood with his hands down, and Bai Mu was also guarding with a sword at the side.

Jiang Chuan picked up a piece of mung bean cake, put it in his mouth, bit off a piece, and ate it slowly, then suddenly said to Xia Junze, "Mr. Ge, do you know Huang Jin?"

Xia Junze was taken aback for a moment, before he realized: "Of course I know that Huang Jin is the Chief Eunuch Bingbi of the Supervisor of Etiquette, and was originally in charge of Jinyiwei."

Xia Jiang trembled all over, wondering what the regent suddenly meant by mentioning Huang Jin.

"This Eunuch Huang is very majestic and capable. He dared to put his eyes and ears beside me. I don't know who ordered it. Commander Xia." Jiang Chuan suddenly turned his head and called out.

Xia Jiang, the commander of Jin Yiwei, hurriedly bowed and said, "The minister is here."

"This king knows that this Eunuch Huang is your immediate boss. Then you will take someone to arrest him, and give this case to this king for a clear trial. If you have any other ideas, you can use your own head." Intermittent. Bai Mu, send a few people to assist Commander Xia in handling the case."

Bai Mu said in a deep voice: "The last general takes orders!"

Xia Jiang originally planned to inform Huang Jin when he heard the regent talking about Huang Jin. After all, this boss treated him pretty well.But he never expected that the regent would hand over this matter to him, which made him complain, but he didn't dare to reveal it.

"I would like to follow His Highness's will, and I must investigate clearly." Xia Jiang complained in his heart, but his mouth was very positive.
