first minister

Chapter 267
A big drama finally came to an end, and everyone was stunned by the twists and turns.

He came with the mood of watching the prince's downfall, but accidentally watched the whole process of Qin Xiang's downfall.

They looked at Xia Jingyun, who was tall and standing in the field with complicated expressions. They heard that Shi Dingzhong, the unlucky guy, was brought down by him earlier. They even sniffed at him, thinking how could a young man in his early twenties do such a thing? Make such a big deal!

He must be putting money on his face and taking the opportunity to create momentum!
But now, right under their noses, it is clearly and directly happening in Xia Jingyun's layout, power is in the hands of the government, the Qin family was once powerful, Lao Tzu was exiled, and his son died.
Such a big Xiangfu suddenly disappeared like this!
At this moment, the image of this young man in their eyes was like the image of the old man who fell just now.

This court is always like this, a new generation replaces the old.

But this time, this newcomer is too new.

Thinking that he is only 20 years old, and there are at least three to fifty years to live without accidents, many people can't help but feel desperate for his peers and younger generations.

But the more clever ones have already begun to think about flattering.

"Young master Xia, congratulations on your grievance! I said that people like Mr. Xia, among dragons and phoenixes, would do such despicable things. Now it seems that they are all framed and slandered by villains!"

"Young Master Xia has the world in his heart, and his merits are in the community. His Majesty will definitely reward you for such a great honor. The sky will rise to the top, and it is just around the corner. Mr. Taichang Temple, Mr. Xia, congratulations!"

"If it wasn't for Mr. Xia, we would still be deceived by traitors like Qin Weizhong and pious people like Qin Sichao. I don't know how long it will be. It is a great blessing for us to meet Mr. Xia in the kingdom!"

Amid the flattery, Guang Luqing stood there dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the empty arena, at the blood that was drying up by the wall, and opened his mouth dully.

Just a few days ago, he had rejected the Jiang Anhou Mansion's sincere door-to-door courtship, and then thought he was smart enough to choose an absolutely safe side.

However, just today, this absolutely safe side has become the first to fall among the many forces in Beijing.

But, damn it, I just joined a few days ago!
Anyway, I regret it now.
With the support of Qin Li, the old patriarch of Qin came down to Xia Jingyun, saluted sincerely, and said sincerely:

"Mr. Xia, I thank you for finding out the real culprit for my grandson and punishing the chief culprit! The whole Qin family is grateful for your kindness! If there is any assignment in the future, I hope you will be polite and speak freely!"

Xia Jingyun knew that the old man in front of him was really moved, rather than pure acting like before, so he stretched out his hand to support him, and said in a gentle voice: "Mr. Fengyang, you don't need to be too polite. This matter is also involved in this matter. It is an act of proving your innocence. Mr. Fengyang You and the Qin family don't have to worry too much about it."

After finishing speaking, he and Qin Li looked at each other and smiled.

The people on the side also quickly praised it.

"Oh! Mr. Xia is really righteous! His integrity is admirable!"

"Isn't it? If it's someone else, then you have to rush to repay the favor!"

"Cough cough!"

A cough sounded, and the British Duke strode out of the hall with a dark face, and everyone shut their mouths in embarrassment subconsciously.

The British Duke gave Xia Jingyun a complicated look. Even he did not expect that Xia Jingyun would actually overthrow Qin Weizhong, and at the same time bury the entire Prime Minister's mansion in the soil, and he would never turn over.

All the things he had imagined, all came to naught under such a result.

However, Xia Jingyun, the Concubine De and the King of Jiaodong County behind him, will take advantage of this terrifying power to skyrocket and gain momentum.

Thinking of this, the Duke of England didn't want to see Xia Jingyun's face after victory for a moment, he didn't want to see the flattering and respectful smiles of other people at Xia Jingyun for a moment, and he didn't want to stay on the battlefield where the other party won.

So he strode away, intending to go back home and chop up a few more scarecrows.

From a certain point of view, although he has been suppressed and beaten by Xia Jingyun all the time, it is not completely useless, maybe he can develop a good physique.

Duke Ying left, and the old king of Qi came out with the support of his attendants, came to Xia Jingyun, and said with a smile: "Young people are awesome, come and sit in the mansion of King Qi when you have time."

Xia Jingyun bowed and cupped his hands, and King Qi left slowly.

Behind King Qi, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who survived the catastrophe, came out. He just took two steps in the direction of Xia Jingyun before hesitating again.

Xia Jingyun smiled and cupped his hands, "His Royal Highness, walk slowly."

The prince, who subconsciously had some thoughts of wooing him, also realized at this moment that there were absolute differences and conflicts between himself and Xia Jingyun, and there was no possibility of easing it, so he had to forget about the short-term friendship of fighting side by side, nodded, and strode forward leave.

With the prince's departure, the court trial was completely over.

Xia Jingyun found an excuse, said goodbye and left.
-
When the group of people went home, the breaking news flew to all parts of Zhongjing City like wings.

In Chengwang's mansion.

Sitting in the main hall, King Cheng frowned as he looked at Prince Cheng standing at the door like a monkey scratching his butt, "Can you come and sit here! Such a big man, he doesn't have any concentration!"

Prince Cheng shook his head, "It must be such a big deal for the crown prince to be abolished! What if I get a little excited?"

"Does that have anything to do with you? Your Majesty has so many pro-princes, can you still be selected as the crown prince?"

"Father, it's boring for you to say that!"

Prince Cheng walked back to the chair and slumped on the chair without any image, "I usually only pay attention to those who have something to do with me, and you despise me. Now I have to pay more attention. You despise me too, so what should I do?" manage?"

Cheng Wang rolled his eyes, "The only ones who have anything to do with you are women!"

"I don't like the mouth of a man either!"

"you!"

King Cheng was about to give a big slap, but the housekeeper hurried in.

Cheng Wang's son stretched out like a carp, showing his excellent waist and abdomen that has been trained for a long time, and asked urgently: "What's the matter? It's settled?"

The housekeeper nodded, "It's decided."

King Cheng frowned, "It's decided, it's decided, it's not decided, it's not decided, what do you mean it's decided."

The housekeeper looked helpless, "The deposed matter of His Royal Highness has not been decided, but the matter of the downfall of Prime Minister Qin has been determined."

"what?"

"what?"

King Cheng and his son were all surprised.

The steward said: "At the beginning, this matter was indeed headed towards the prince's abolishment. Da Zongzheng and the old King Qi came over, but when the old King Qi was about to escort the Prince into Zongzheng Temple, Mr. Xia stood Out."

King Cheng was taken aback, "Which Young Master Xia?"

The steward quickly explained: "It's Empress Defei's foster brother, Duke Xie Yuan from Sishui Prefecture."

Prince Cheng, who felt that he was not qualified to participate, was puzzled and said, "Why do cats and dogs dare to get involved in such a big event?"

The housekeeper waved his hand subconsciously, "My lord, it's not a good thing to say that!"

Cheng Wang's son looked disdainful, "What? Is this son still afraid of him?"

The housekeeper didn't want to say much, he secretly thought that you would know when I finished speaking, and then he explained Xia Jingyun's operation in detail, and then looked at the stunned prince and son, "As soon as this rebellious hat is taken off, Mr. Qin Immediately, I became anxious, and immediately refuted, and Mr. Xia also retorted, but at this moment, Prime Minister Qin came."

Cheng Wang just wanted to say that Xia Jingyun would definitely not be able to survive the presence of this generation of power ministers, but then he thought of the result just mentioned, and couldn't help but wondered: "The Qin ministers are here, how did Xia Jingyun turn the tables?"

The steward twitched the corner of his mouth, "Your Majesty is here too."

Prince Cheng and his son changed their expressions again, "Your Majesty?"

Others don't know, but Cheng Wang knows his brother's thoughts, and he cares most about his reputation behind him, so he spent so much effort and all kinds of calculations, and even asked King Qi to come forward, just wanting to be fair and aboveboard, and let outsiders find no faults. Let the prince abdicate.

But at this moment, His Majesty has actually arrived at the scene, which shows that he has already had a tendency!
However, even so, they still didn't think about the next direction of the matter. When Qin Sichao scolded Emperor Chongning face to face, King Cheng only felt his legs go weak.

Mother!

How arrogant this is, and what courting death!

And at the end, when he heard His Majesty intending to let Prime Minister Qin be exiled to Yueyang City in Yunmeng State, a chill instantly filled his back.

Your Majesty is so determined that he doesn't want Prime Minister Qin to die so comfortably!

Ruthless!
When Prince Cheng heard this, he suddenly agreed with the butler's words just now.

People like Xia Jingyun, who can fool Qin Sichao into a fool a few times, are really not something he can afford.

"Indeed, I'd better not provoke this kind of person, I'm afraid this son will be able to compare with him in the brothel."

"The brothel?" Cheng Wang snorted, "You don't know that it doesn't cost money to go to the brothel to sleep with the oiran!"

Prince Cheng: .——
In the central courtyard, Minister of the Ministry of Officials walked to Prime Minister Qin's room and looked at one of his staff, "Prime Minister Qin hasn't come back yet?"

"Well, Mr. Xiang has something to go out. Master Yang put the documents here. When Mr. Xiang returns, the younger one will be handed over to him."

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials nodded, and put a stack of booklets on Prime Minister Qin's table. Just as he was about to turn around, there was a sound of footsteps and armor colliding at the gate of the courtyard.

Just in the court, he was no stranger to such movements, so he hurried out to check.

In the rest of the rooms, the central ministers also hurried out.

Seeing the majestic and armored Forbidden Army, the hearts of all the central bosses tightened instantly, and the unbeknownst filth hidden in their hearts surged up in an instant, and they all had the same thought: They are not here to arrest me, are they?

Fortunately, this tension disappeared in an instant, because in the eyes of everyone, the commander of the forbidden army led a group of soldiers of the forbidden army and walked straight towards the Minister of the Ministry of officials.

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials suddenly felt a little trembling in his calves. Didn't he just accept some money from officials to buy the road? As for spending such a big battle?
Everyone is greedy, why only arrest me!

Seeing the Commander Shang of the Forbidden Army getting closer and closer, just when the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was about to kneel down and beg for mercy, he heard the Commander of the Forbidden Army shouting: "I have been ordered to arrest the traitor Qin Weizhong and his party, and the rest of you, please wait." avoid!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Officials suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and leaned against the door weakly.

Immediately, his eyes widened suddenly, traitor?Qin Weizhong?
