Zhu Qiming knew exactly how much money his subordinates had, and Liu Qi's dirty things were even more clear. He threatened Liu Qi with this and asked him to be loyal to him.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't open his mouth, an official came out under Zhu Qiming's hint, and said: "What the second prince said is true, you can't trust these people's words on this matter, you have to investigate carefully. It's just that His Highness also said , These few people were brought by His Highness, and it is inevitable that those who are interested will say that they framed the official's stigma, Your Majesty, I think this matter can be handed over to my minister." This person belongs to Dali Temple, so it is understandable to take over this matter.

Mo Yanchi refused to fall into his tricks, and said straightly: "Only a person with a ghost in his heart would speculate on other people's intentions like this. I am not afraid of shadows."

"What does Your Highness mean?" the official retorted in a deep voice, "Could it be that I suspect that I will slander Your Highness?"

Mo Yanchi glanced at this person, said nothing, and waited for Emperor Hongzhi to speak.

Emperor Hongzhi was like a mirror in his heart, so naturally he would not hand over the errand to that official. He knocked on the handle of the dragon chair, and after a long silence, he said: "The second prince has not been in the court for many years, and it is time to experience it. You do it."

"Yes, my son will not disgrace the emperor's grace."

Others were about to open their mouths, but Mo Yanchi knelt down to accept the order and cut off those people's thoughts.

Seeing that Mo Yanchi took over this matter, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

That big thief was just the identity Xing Yanan used to insert people. When he was wandering around, he accidentally discovered the matter of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which involved today's incident.

Xiao Zhi told Mo Yanchi about this matter as early as possible, and then he rushed into the palace before Zhu Qiming and brought these common people in.

The person who investigated the case was settled, Liu Qi knew that he could not escape this catastrophe, so he sent someone to send a message to Zhu Qiming after he came down to court, but the person who sent the message was stopped by the person brought by Mo Yichi before he left the house .

"The second prince has an order that people in Shangshu's mansion are not allowed to go out at will before they have investigated the matter." The guard who came to guard said.

Liu Qi was in a hurry, after watching Mo Yichi take away the young men from his room, he knew that he would not be sitting in the position of Minister.

He still didn't believe in evil, so stopped Mo Yanchi, "Your Highness, I beg Your Highness to release his ministers for a way out. From now on, His Highness can be the master of this bureaucracy."

Mo Yanchi smiled contemptuously, and said: "If the person who replaces the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials with the king, it will not be the same as being driven by the king." After finishing speaking, he left without looking back.

Liu Qi fell to the ground, wanting to cry but no tears.

The matter in Shangshu's mansion is not a trivial matter, the second prince is not afraid of power, and cares about the people, which is the luck of the people.Some unfavorable words have gradually turned into words of praise.

Liu Qi's first wife had endured it for many years, and her second son was stillborn because of this. When the incident became known, she packed up a few clothes, threw away the letter and left the letter, and left with her eldest son.And this incident confirmed Liu Qi's crime.

When Mo Yanchi heard about this matter, he just smiled and didn't say anything.

The people and officials in Beijing have been persecuted by Liu Qi for many years. A case of robbing the people involved a lot of things. Obviously, Mo Yichi did not intend to stop here. He collected a lot of evidence against Liu Qi, and many of the officials also Then suffer.

Liu Qi couldn't get out of the mansion, and other officials were in danger, so he ran to Zhu Qiming's mansion in the dark, asking for help.

Zhu Qiming, one head and two big, thought of many ways, but he could only keep a few officials with low official positions. As for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, Liu Qi had no choice but to abandon them. Fortunately, he did not talk to Liu Qi in recent years. If you have said something important, you are not afraid of this person talking nonsense.

The position of Shangshu is more important than that of a servant, and Zhu Qiming also accidentally found out that Liu Qi has a penchant for being masculine, so he took him down.Now that something happened to him, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials was vacated, and Zhu Qiming had to choose another talented person to take his place.

This place is in a state of desperation, but the second prince's residence is extremely leisurely.It was Xing Yan who taught the family to make trouble in Beijing. He told Mo Yanchi about Liu Qi, and then Mo Yanchi came forward to deal with the matter. Neutralize your prestige.

After listening to what Xing Yan said about Zhu Qiming, Xiao Zhi smiled and said, "He will worry about it in the future."

Mo Yanchi has been bullied by Zhu Qiming for many years, this time he won a round, and he is in a good mood, but when he heard about Liu Qi for the first time, he still sighed, "I don't think there are people in this world who prefer masculinity. It's really strange."

The corners of Xiao Zhijin's raised lips paused, his eyes fixed on Mo Yanchi, panicked in his heart.He desperately ran to Beijing, never expecting to get a response to his feelings, but if Mo Yanchi hated this matter, then what face would he have to stay by his side?

He picked up the teacup to stabilize his mind, and asked nonchalantly, "What's so strange?"

"These... two men, how can they be together?" Mo Yanchi looked a little subtle, and said cautiously: "And how do you do things?"

"..." Xiao Zhijin raised his eyebrows, "You want to know?"

Mo Yanchi shook his head frantically, and said, "No, no, I'm just curious."

"Curiosity? Don't you reject this matter?" Xiao Zhijin pretended not to care.

Mo Yanchi paused, and replied: "It's not considered rejection, I can't accept left and right. How can you be with another man if you're such a good man."

The teacup in Xiao Zhijin's hand suddenly fell and shattered to the ground, and the fragrance of tea filled the room.

Ye Min who was outside the door ran in after hearing the sound, but seeing that Xiao Zhijin's expression was not very good, he got up and left without saying a word.

Ye Min scratched his head, looked at the stunned Mo Yanchi: "Master, what's wrong with the number one scholar?"

Mo Yanchi was also puzzled, shook his head and said: "I don't know, maybe I'm not feeling well, go to the palace and invite an imperial physician."

"Yes."

……

After listening to Xiao Zhijin's complaints, Xing Yan laughed so hard that he almost fell to the ground, and even Jiang Wan couldn't help covering her mouth and laughing.

Mo Yanchi is really funny, he invited an imperial doctor to see Xiao Zhijin, what kind of illness he could have is nothing more than unresolved lovesickness.Forget about it, when the imperial doctor came, seeing Xiao Zhijin's face was heavy and Yintang was black, he actually prescribed a few potions for him.

Xiao Zhi was so angry that his teeth hurt.

Jiang Wan held back her smile and said, "This matter is unusual, it's better to proceed gradually."

"I know..." Xiao Zhi was stunned.He was not angry, but frightened.His feelings are like grass on the cliff, which may fall to the bottom at any time and be smashed to pieces.

He can fight with his back, regardless of the consequences, but he can't destroy Mo Yanchi.

Jiang Wan sighed, worried about the future of these two people.

There is no rush for emotional matters, and Xiao Zhijin did not simply seek out the two of them to relieve his own worries. In the current situation, the relationship between children is not the first place.

After Jiang Wan took the position of Minister of the Ministry of War, she placed many subordinates in the Ministry of War for Zhu Qiming. Although they were all dispensable official positions, she managed to gain Zhu Qiming's trust and gradually came into contact with Zhu Qiming. People of one line.

As the eldest prince, his means are not unwise. The foundation laid over the years is obvious, and it will take a long time to break the wings of the eldest prince.

Jiang Wan hibernates at Zhu Qiming's place, extremely dangerous, but she seems to enjoy it, eroding Zhu Qiming's internal power bit by bit.

Xiao Zhijuan said: "Liu Qi's matter is of great importance, and he has damaged many of Zhu Qiming's henchmen. He will never be arrested obediently. You two should be more careful, and don't be caught with any clues."

"I know, how many people do you need to send to the Second Prince's side to assist?"

"No, he has a bodyguard bestowed by Emperor Hongzhi, so it's not easy for General Wei Ling to show up. But we need to send a few more people to protect him," Xiao Zhizhi said.

"Yes, this is natural," Xing Yan said.

Mo Yichi had studied under Emperor Hongzhi for a long time, so he naturally knew some tricks. He slowly checked Liu Qi, brought out a few people, then stopped, wrote a note and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.

It's not that he doesn't want to catch them all, it's just that he doesn't have enough prestige, and a sudden big move will backfire.It is enough to find a few people to come out and stand up.

Emperor Hongzhi was furious when he saw the excerpt, and took off Liu Qi's black hat, exiled to the frontier, and the former Minister of the Ministry of Officials took his place.With a wave of his hand, Emperor Hongzhi directly handed over the vacated position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials to Xiao Zhijin, the number one scholar who had been unknown until now.

There were three people in the first class, and the two jumped into the position of servants, leaving only Qin Huilan guarding the Imperial Academy, still fantasizing about Zhu Qiming arranging a high-ranking official for him.

Zhu Qiming was so troubled by Liu Qi's incident that he had long forgotten Qin Huilan, and only when he heard that he came to visit him did he think of him.

Qin Huilan hadn't been summoned for a long time, seeing that both Xiao Zhijin and Jiang Wan had got important positions, he couldn't hold back, so he took the initiative to find him.

"Your Highness, at present Xiao Zhijin sits on the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, which is very unfavorable to His Highness." Qin Huilan picked up other topics and said in order not to show that he was too utilitarian.

"Of course this king knows, it's only Liu Qi's incompetence that caused these nasty things." Zhu Qiming said.

"Your Highness, if you can't move the second prince, why don't you pull Xiao Zhijin down." When Xiao Zhijin disappeared, Qin Huilan would have all the glory of the number one scholar.

How could Zhu Qiming not know what he was thinking, he glanced at Qin Huilan, and said: "This is not the time, Xiao Zhiquan is a hand-picked servant, if you act rashly, you may be suspected by your father."

Before Qin Huilan came, he had already thought up the countermeasures, and he said: "Your Highness can't do it, so let others do it. Liu Qi was exiled because of the second prince, so it is inevitable that he will not hold a grudge. , Your Highness, do you think he will come to a dead end?"

Zhu Qiming's eyes were deep, Qin Huilan saw this, and continued: "These two princes are not easy to attack. If you tell Liu Qi that Xiao Zhijin is behind the scenes, then getting rid of Xiao Zhijin will not be easy."

"It's really a good idea, then I'll leave this matter to you," Zhu Qiming said.

Qin Huilan received the errand, she was too happy to be happy in time, she would not think too much, thanked her in a hurry, chatted for a few more words, and left the eldest prince's mansion.

Zhu Qiming didn't have much expectation for this matter, and asking Qin Huilan to do it was purely perfunctory.He sat alone in the hall, rubbing his head with a headache.

The servant outside the house ran in and said, "Your Highness, the imperial concubine has sent a message to let you enter the palace."

Zhu Qiming raised his eyes and glared at the boy, silent.

The little servant lowered his head, not daring to meet his gaze, waiting for the eldest prince to speak.

"Let's go into the palace."
