Chapter 670: Big Move

The person who spoke was called Lin Cambodia, and Jiang Boji was a raccoon dog, speaking at this moment, it was obvious that he had already colluded, and his purpose was to revise the code, and if there was a big backlash, he would retreat to the next best thing and implement the next policy, which was to establish another rule, in short, to achieve their goal.

This Lin Khan is also a capable person, and the laws and rules written are also flawless, which can be regarded as comprehensive. This time it was launched, others were not easy to refute, although they still felt that it was inappropriate, but respecting the imperial power and respecting the emperor was also what it should be, although the special legislation was somewhat exaggerated, but it was finally passed.

At least, it is better than directly amending the Code of Hajj.

But who knows, this is the source of the disaster.

That night, Chu Xian heard the news that Lord Lang Tong of the Ministry of Rites had been arrested.

Tong adult Chu Xian is familiar, and he also admires him as a person, upright, and most importantly, he is very talented, and has written a lot of articles.

Chu Xian now has a lot of eyes and ears, and he soon knows what happened, and the specific reason is unknown, but it is certain that it was the internal guard of the Imperial Department who captured Lord Tong.

Emperor Li Qianlong established the Imperial Division, set up the Imperial Division, and also set up the Imperial Imperial Internal Guard, all of whom were masters, and there were even Dao Immortals in charge.

In other words, when Tong was suddenly arrested, it must have been secretly instructed by the emperor.

A three-grade waiter, he said that he would arrest it, this is not a trivial matter, after Chu Xian got the news, he immediately asked people to inform others, and then left the house overnight.

Xiao Yu is now the honor of the Taishi, the first seat of the Shoufu Pavilion, Chu Xian went out of the mansion, and rushed directly to the Taishi's Mansion.

Obviously, with Xiao Yu's current status, he already knew about the arrest of Master Tong, after all, he couldn't hide it from Master Xiao Yu for big and small things here in Jingzhou.

Taishifu study.

Several officials who rushed over after hearing the news were sitting here, from the Criminal Department, the Procuratorate, and even the Dong Candle Division, relatively speaking, Chu Xian's current official position was a little abrupt here.

However, no one objected.

Everyone knows that Chu Xian's current status, as one of the most trusted people of Xiao Yu, is not uncommon to appear here.

Obviously, everyone knows nothing except that Master Tong was captured by the internal guards of the Imperial Division, this matter is not simple, Lord Tong is a Taoist immortal cultivator, or a three-grade squire, and the most important thing is that he is a member of the Shoufu Pavilion, and he arrests people directly without going through the Shoufu Pavilion, is this a direct declaration of war?

Master Xiao Yu listened to the report and did not speak, and Chu Xian did not say anything.

Chu Xian was thinking about things.

Many things have exceeded Chu Xian's prediction, after all, he has experienced the thirty years in his dream, and Chu Xian can be said to know the future direction of the Holy Dynasty best.

But in fact, from a long time ago, many things have been different from the direction that Chu Xian is familiar with, and some small things will not be mentioned, and the biggest variable is the appearance of the edict and Li Qianlong's title of emperor.

This has never happened in a dream.

Of course, in the dream, the Hundred Immortal Diagram has never been repaired, so Chu Xian has been thinking about this thing for the past few days, and now the situation has changed, which is different from the dream, is it because of himself?

If they didn't have themselves, it would be impossible for the four painting saints to repair the Hundred Immortals, even if they had this kind of skill, they wouldn't be able to do it, Chu Xian was sure.

Then if there is no restoration of the Hundred Immortals Diagram, there will be no Holy Ancestor Edict, no Holy Ancestor Edict, even if Li Qianlong plans high, it is useless, it is impossible to be the emperor.

Therefore, it is no one else who is responsible for all this, it should be yourself.

You should take the blame yourself.

If the pilgrimage is in turmoil, he must take this responsibility.

Lord Tong is a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and he has refuted Emperor Li Qianlong at the court meeting before, and it is normal to be hated, and Lord Tong has a good temper, not the right person, and sometimes he will get into trouble, and it is not surprising that the other party will take him under the knife. As for today's matter, Chu Xian can be sure that it was Li Qianlong and others who have been planning for a long time, of course, with Li Qianlong's kind of intelligence, the other party wants to fight for power and profit, and to establish imperial power as respect, so he will not arrest people for no reason, and when the time comes, there must be a reason to ask.

Don't ask at all.

The problem now is that Li Qianlong can't stop there, his purpose is to get rid of the Shoufu Pavilion, sweep away all dissidents, and then really take over the Holy Dynasty.

Some people may say that since Li Qianlong is quite an emperor and has this ability, let him do it, but the problem is not this, the problem is the imperial system.

Just like what Master Lu Yan said, the imperial system is absolutely impossible.

One generation, two generations, or even three generations can, as long as one generation can't do it, it will inevitably be a disaster, and then the holy dynasty has formed an imperial system from top to bottom, and if you want to innovate, the price will be too great.

Therefore, Taishi Lu Yan secretly entrusted Chu Xian to let Chu Xian strangle the imperial power in the cradle no matter what, I believe that Taishi Xiao Yu also knows this at present.

After waiting for a while, Yang Zhenqing actually came.

This Yang Taishi and Xiao Yu Taishi did not fight again, after all, the most important thing now is that Li Qianlong, so the two are actually very tacitly united, and now, there is no distinction between the Xiao family and the Yang family.

"There is news, Tong Shilang once wrote an article in his early years, which criticized Li Qianlong, and even talked about the disadvantages and problems of imperial autocracy, they used this to arrest people, saying that Tong Shilang was disrespectful to the emperor and disrespectful to the Holy Ancestor. Yang Zhenqing said as soon as he came.

It can be seen that Yang Zhenqing's news is also quite well-informed.

"Ridiculous!" Shang Shu of the Ministry of Rites here was furious, he didn't expect the other party to arrest his subordinates in this name, that is a dignified servant, the respect of the Dao Immortals.

"I think it's not that simple, I guess they have other so-called incriminating evidence in their hands, but everyone knows that this is an example to kill chickens and monkeys, specially made for us to see. Master Xiao Yu also frowned, and while speaking, he thought about countermeasures.

Obviously, since the new Emperor Li Qianlong dared to let the Imperial Secretary do this, he must have something to rely on.

Xiao Yu is also worried about one thing, whether this is to make an example of chickens and monkeys, or to start an all-out war.

If it's the latter, then I'm afraid the matter has just begun, kicking off the prelude.

Xiao Yu's worries came true.

Not long after the Ministry of Rites was arrested by the Imperial Imperial Guards, more shocking news was passed back, and in Jingzhou, there were more than a dozen officials arrested by the Imperial Imperial Division, and this situation was almost at the same time, and it also happened in various states and places, and before the start of the court meeting, the most accurate news was that overnight yesterday, hundreds of officials in various states including Jingzhou were arrested.

It is all the internal guards of the Imperial Department who are acting, and the Criminal Department, the Procuratorate, and even the imperial histories of various states and regions are ignorant of this, and even among the officials who were arrested, there were officials from these three departments.

Some of them are not low.

Just overnight, people were panicked.

The Imperial Department not only arrests people, but also controls the families of officials, in the name of censorship, if there is no problem, it will naturally not be embarrassed.

But whoever it is, the home is occupied by a group of leather armor and knife-wielding, murderous internal guards, and they will not feel safe, so the emperor's move is very dissatisfied with the officialdom.

But the Imperial Secretary did things without any intention of reasoning with you, in a simple sentence, just say that you offended the royal family and blasphemed the Holy Ancestor, and this crime is enough to make people go to prison and be convicted. Moreover, the other party first listed the evidence of the crime, most of which contained similar remarks in the articles made by some of these officials, or they had said in public that the Imperial Department could still find witnesses.

Not only that, but the imperial secretary also issued the emperor's edict, that is, officials at all levels have the right to supervise their superiors and subordinates.

As a result, many people who originally had a bad character and were very ordinary in officialdom began to have ideas.

After all, this is a way to get ahead, they didn't have a chance before, but now, when the new emperor takes office, the opportunity comes, after all, the backstage of the imperial department is the emperor.

The edict of the Holy Ancestor, the autocracy of the imperial power, this is not a joke, if it is the immortal officials above, the officials of the Shoufu Pavilion can oppose it, they have already objected, but no one can violate the Holy Ancestor's decree.

Therefore, hugging the emperor is hugging the emperor's thigh, and there will be absolutely nothing wrong.

Naturally, many people began to recall whether their superiors had said anything about disrespecting the imperial family and disrespecting the emperor, and some people were looking for books all night long, looking for the enemy's writings to see if there was anything they could make a big fuss about.

Of course, that's all for later.

At this court meeting, before the Shoufu Pavilion took the lead in attacking, the imperial secretary there had already taken the lead in asking the teacher to ask for the guilt, so he naturally laid out the evidence of disrespect and blasphemy against the Holy Ancestor in the words and deeds of these arrested officials.

It's also difficult to be the emperor's imperial secretary, it's actually a non-falling, but this kind of thing, sometimes can't be understood literally, but if you forcibly rely on the disrespectful royal family, you can also rely on it, of course, most of them are distorting the facts and reversing black and white, even if some officials just once wrote a poem, there is a sentence on it: 'The imperial city is rainy in April, and you wake up to be clear.' It was originally a very ordinary sentence, but it was interpreted by the people of the Imperial Department as hoping that there would be a funeral in the imperial city, which was a great disrespect to the emperor.

And so on, too much.

Rather than punishing crimes, it is better to use the topic to play and deliberately make things difficult.

Some people think this is nonsense, but Chu Xian understands very well that this Emperor Li Qianlong is quite smart, he is definitely not fooling around, nor is he wantonly showing his power, he does this with a deeper purpose, of course, there is deterrence, there is also a show of imperial authority, and more importantly, it is a gesture.

There are also temptations.

This matter naturally can't be messed up by the imperial division, as soon as the wind opens, the holy dynasty will inevitably be chaotic, everyone is in danger, I am afraid that they will be cautious in what they say and do in the future, after all, no one knows when someone will find out, saying that you do not respect the Holy Ancestor and do not respect the emperor.
