The capital of the Qin State, Luo'an Jingcheng, has also been shrouded in snow, with snowflakes floating freely in the air, but the streets are still full of people and cars.

The rebellion of Tianmen Road in the southeast affected many people, and because the power of Tianmen Road in the south is getting stronger and stronger, many merchants and gentry in the southeast have moved to the capital with their families.

However, this did not increase the burden on the population of the capital.

Although the war was raging in Jianghuai Province and Donghai Province in the southeast, there was no sign of a large number of displaced people fleeing in the direction of the capital, but many people joined the rebels of Tianmen Road.

For the imperial court, Hebei Qingtianwang is certainly a headache, but the southeast pacification of Tianmen Road is the top priority, although the ministries and departments are overstretched, but under Lei Guheng's repeated urging and urging, they still try their best to transport the raised materials to the southeast.

On the road from the capital to the southeast front, the recent transportation of materials seems to have increased a lot, from grain and grass to equipment, the long queue seems to be uninterrupted, which is very different from before, and the people along the way are very strange, many people have heard that the treasury is empty, and the imperial court has not been able to take out the silver to support the war in the southeast, but after the prince supervised the country, all kinds of signs show that the imperial court seems to have begun to have strength again.

In this strange situation, ordinary people naturally don't know the truth of the matter, but the dignitaries and nobles in the capital are very clear.

In the final analysis, the root cause of this anomaly is due to party strife.

After the emperor left the capital, the power of the empire temporarily fell into the hands of the crown prince, and after the prince came to power, the princelings immediately launched an attack on the royal party at the first time.

The impeachment of the officials of the Qi Wang Party was like snowflakes, and the Yamen of the Criminal Department headed by Qiu Junhui became the sharpest knife of the prince, this knife flew in the capital, and countless Qi Wang Party officials were folded under this knife.

As for the Qi Wang Party officials who were dismissed, the Criminal Department fully developed their torture capabilities, and as long as they were Qi Wang Party officials who were seized by the Yamen of the Criminal Department, the final result was almost all of them raiding their homes and destroying their homes.

In the bloody rain, a large number of family properties of Qi Wang Party officials were confiscated and confiscated, and this huge wealth is really amazing, and the prince is extremely strict with the matter of raiding the family.

The criminal department is responsible for arresting people, and the household department is responsible for counting the property and filling it into the treasury.

Ma Hong, the secretary of the household department, accompanied the northern tour, and the affairs of the family could only fall on the head of Lang Wuxu, the head of the household servant, Lang Wuxu, who was the core of the Qi Wang Party, but under the supervision of the prince, he had to personally order the household officials to go to the palace of the Qi Wang Party officials to raid the house, and even sometimes he had to go out in person, and the confiscated family property was not only the property in the capital, but also the family property of the criminal officials.

The prince knows the practice of copying the house, but this time he issued a clear order, but there are people who are greedy for ink and property when they raid the house, and there is no forgiveness for killing, at the beginning, many officials were still the prince, which was just a face-to-face talk, but twice the house was raided, because the greed for ink cut off the heads of several officials, including even princeling officials, and everyone knew that the prince was real.

The confiscated property, filled into the treasury, the amount is really a lot, to a certain extent, it does solve the problem of the emptiness of the treasury, the front line war, whether it is grain and grass baggage or military salaries, need a large amount of expenses, the prince in the southeast and Hebei two wars, there is no doubt that the southeast and then Hebei, confiscated property, in addition to the military pay sent to the front line to the soldiers, most of them are used to purchase grain and grass and build equipment.

Although the treasury does not have grain, but it does not mean that the empire has no grain, Luo'an Jingcheng is located in Yuling Road, Yuling Road is the richest place in the empire, and there is Jinling Road next to the splendid smoke and clouds, which is where the rich gather, the warehouses of the major rich gentry are really a lot of grain, and the court has silver, and it is not difficult to buy grain.

Lei Guheng, as one of the four great generals of the empire, has experienced a hundred battles, and has been fighting horses for half his life, and his ability to command the army is definitely the top figure in the world, but it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and without grain and grass equipment as logistical support, the combat effectiveness of the army is impossible to talk about.

Previously, Lei Guheng was under the pressure of Tianmen Dao, and the pressure was already huge, and the entire front had been continuously shrinking backwards, and at the most dangerous time, the battle line was only two hundred miles away from Yuling Road, where the capital was located.

Because of this, a large number of gentry and wealthy people have withdrawn to the capital, and even after withdrawing to the capital, it is not steady, if according to the situation of the southeast battlefield, Tianmen Road may not be able to advance to the city of Kyoto.

However, the prince used the confiscated family wealth to quickly transport the front line, and with the logistical support of Lei Guheng and the officers and soldiers in the southeast, the morale was immediately shocked, and the whole show was much closer.

It's just that in the depths of winter, many places have been blocked by snow, although the Tianmen Road has not continued to advance, and the momentum of the counterattack of the officers and soldiers has also been curbed, and the two sides are still in a stalemate, and even the whole winter will be spent in a stalemate.

Although the crown prince used the confiscated family property to temporarily stabilize the situation in the southeast, for the Qi Wang Party, Qiu Junzhen became a thorn in their side, and all the people in the Qi Wang Party wanted to kill him as soon as possible.

For this reason, the people in the Qi Wang Party were in a predicament, and they also tried to fight back, and even hired assassins to assassinate Qiu Junxi, as long as Qiu Junhui died, the position of the secretary of the criminal department would be vacant, although the prince was a prisoner, but the appointment and dismissal of the officials of the six departments was not within the scope of his power, and he had to ask the emperor for instructions.

In the eyes of the Qi Wang Party, killing Qiu Junhui is equivalent to destroying the prince's murder knife, once this knife is damaged, the predicament faced by the Qi Wang Party will be greatly replaced, and the new candidate for the criminal department secretary is not something that the prince alone can say, and then the Qi Wang Party can compete with the princelings on the vacancy of the criminal department.

It's just that such an intention, because of the successive failures of the assassination, has also come to naught.

Qiu Junxi, as the secretary of the criminal department, has blood on his hands, and there are many enemies, and he doesn't know how many enemies he wants to kill him and then quickly, Qiu Junhui knows this, and naturally it is impossible to give the opponent a chance.

When he went in and out, there were at least eight guards around him, and he rarely went out to crowded places, and Qiu Junxi rarely set foot in the Lefang Teahouse, which many people frequented, and even if he went, he would make careful arrangements in advance.

As the criminal yamen of the empire, the Criminal Department has some powerful people, and they are naturally vigilant about tracking and lurking methods, so it is not easy to assassinate Qiu Junxi.

By the time Qiu Junhui assisted the princelings in purging the Qi Wang Party, Qiu Junhui became the most critical figure in the princelings, and his safety was naturally more valued.

Several officials of the Qi Wang Party, who failed to assassinate, not only failed to achieve their wishes, but were touched by Qiu Junhui Shun Teng, taking the opportunity to backhand, so they arrested a group of Qi Wang Party officials.

Less than three months after the emperor left Beijing, the Qi royal party was already defeated by the princelings, and there was no power to fight back.

When the King of Han was there, the King of Han Party took Huang Ju as the core, and there were many henchmen in the government and the opposition, the King of Han was both civil and military, and Huang Ju was cunning and cunning, and he controlled the finances of the empire, and the Han King Party headed by King Han and Huang Ju had a very strong cohesion, and the princelings were once overwhelmed.

But today, under the fierce blow of the princelings, the people of the Qi Wang Party finally understood that the King of Qi was not the King of Han, and the King of Qi was not only inferior to the political talent of the King of Han, but also there was no pillar like Huang Ju around him.

As a result, after the loss of soldiers, many officials of the Qi Wang Party began to take the initiative to resign, hoping to resign from their official positions and stay away from the court.

What's more, he began to contact the princelings in private, spending a lot of money, hoping to switch to the prince's door, and for a time the capital was in a miasma.

The pressure on King Qi is getting heavier and heavier.

Of course, he knew that the Qi Wang Party had fallen apart, and the people were panicking, and at the beginning, there were officials of the Qi Wang Party who came to the Qi Wang's Mansion every day to find countermeasures discussed by the Qi King.

But in the midst of the officials' disputes again and again, in the face of the prince's offensive, the Qi Wang Party was helpless.

Since Wu Tangchun, the Shaoqing of Taifu Temple, was arrested from the Qi Palace, the officials of the Criminal Department were taken away from the Qi Palace, and there were fewer and fewer officials who went to the Qi Palace, and the King of Qi understood that those officials obviously felt that the King of Qi was unreliable, and they would even be keenly aware that the Prince's thunderous methods may not be to deal with the entire Qi Wang Party, and the main target is probably against the King of Qi.

Many officials of the Qi King Party wanted to switch to the prince's door, which made them even more unwilling to have anything to do with the King of Qi, let alone visit the Qi Palace.

When the emperor did not tour the north, the princelings and the Qi Wang Party fought against each other, and it seemed that they were equal in strength, but now people suddenly discovered that the strength of the two parties was not at the same level at all, and the current Qi Wang Party was like a sheep, and the princeling was a tiger, and the tiger of the princeling was devouring the sheep little by little.

The glory of the Qi Wang Party is gone forever, and few officials of the Qi Wang Party are willing to admit that they are the Qi Wang Party, even if they are bankrupt, they must break away from the relationship with the Qi Wang Party.

For everything that happened, Qi Wang Yingren knew well, but he was helpless.

He knew that with his current strength, he was not the prince's opponent at all, but he was not reconciled, and the officials of the criminal department sent Dengfu to arrest people, and did not put his dignified prince in his eyes at all, and then it was nothing more than the prince's support, which made King Qi feel a bitter shame.

He closed the door, but the resentment in his heart was getting deeper and deeper day by day, to this point, he didn't hope to be able to bring down the prince, but he gritted his teeth and wanted to bring down Qiu Junhui at all costs.

He is the prince, the dignified King of Qi in the empire, and an auxiliary country.

But he had to suffer from the ridicule of the criminal department, which made him unbearable in his heart.

If you don't bring down Qiu Junxi, how can you be worthy of the noble blood flowing in your body? King Qi has always thought so in his heart, so he waited for the opportunity, and he must find an opportunity to cause Qiu Junhui to die.

And this opportunity must be pinned on Lang Wuxu's body.
