"You said the ministers above—"

Emperor Mingde stared at the familiar names of ministers on the fold, especially the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Wang Taifu's Mansion...

"All the mansions of these ministers are gone."

Such a large mansion suddenly disappeared without any sign.

This matter is unbelievable and frightening no matter how you describe it.

How could Gu Tai, who knew Emperor Mingde best, report such a matter in the first place?

He always has to think twice before he acts.

"Well, especially the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, there is only a big hole left."

"My dear friends, what do you think? Everyone can speak freely. Tell me what is going on?"

The ministers were sweating coldly and secretly looking at each other. How dare they say that?

They are all talented people who have served as officials for many years, so they don't know what the emperor is thinking. This is to bring trouble to the Su and Wang families.

After all, the Daqi Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, especially yesterday's collapse of the imperial mausoleum and the chaos on the long street. People's resentment is boiling and rumors are spreading.

They all said that the emperor was unjust and had killed the prince and loyal ministers. Heaven was angry and people were angry, and the Qi Dynasty was about to fall.

If a foolish king has no moral principles, he must either take a Zen position or issue an edict before committing a crime, in order to quell the grievances of heaven and eliminate the disasters of the people.

But none of them dare to say these words.

"Gu Aiqing——"

The emperor named him, and Gu Tai could only take a step forward.

Now that things have happened, Gu Tai is also in a difficult position.

He knew what the emperor wanted him to say. Wasn't he just thinking of a reasonable excuse to blame all the faults on the prince Yu Dang and the Su Wang family?

However, now the two people in the world who can make the emperor fearful, Su Zhenbei was hit by six soul-suppressing nails and has been unconscious.

Although Taifu Wang is wily and scheming, he is old after all. After yesterday's chaos on the street, he had a high fever at the inn last night, and he was about to die from the fever.

All of this is the news that the people he sent came back from the inn.

The whole night, especially the two single rooms of Su and Wang's family, no one came out? No one came close.

Under such circumstances, how could he find a reasonable excuse to blame the exiled people of the Su and Wang families for such a shocking event?

But the emperor pushed this problem to him. No matter how difficult it was, he had to find a way to solve the problem for the emperor.

Gu Tai thought about how to say it better.

Seeing that Gu Tai didn't reply to him in time,

Emperor Mingde's back was covered with dense cold sweat, and a particularly ominous premonition crawled into his heart like ants.

By killing the prince, beheading the Su family and confiscating the Wang family, did he really commit the wrath of heaven?

"emperor--"

Suddenly Ji Wei, the commander of the Imperial Guard, strode in and knelt down in front of the hall.

"Weapons Manufacturing Factory——"

"how?"

Emperor Mingde shouted and stood up.

The thieves stole all the palaces and official residences in order to make money. But, a weapons manufacturing plant?

"It's all gone."

"What's gone? You wouldn't say that all the weapons made in it are gone, right?"

Emperor Mingde felt dizzy.

Before Ji Wei could reply, the Minister of War shouted angrily at Ji Wei,

"Don't talk nonsense. What can happen to the weapons manufacturing factory? It is guarded by 30,000 soldiers and is so close to your Forbidden Army camp. You won't say that just like this, the hundreds of thousands of manufactured weapons can also Stolen?"

The Daqi Dynasty was so besieged on all sides, and the war in northern Xinjiang had just ceased, and they were about to send envoys to negotiate with their relatives. The three divisions of the East, West and South are ready to move again. Under such circumstances, the weapons manufacturing factory is naturally working overtime and desperately manufacturing weapons. That’s why I saved hundreds of thousands of them.

"It's all gone." Emperor Mingde's eyes darkened when he heard Ji Wei's words. Wang Gonggong stepped forward to support him and sat down weakly on the dragon chair.

"There are hundreds of thousands of weapons and those huge trebuchets. Do you think those can be gone?"

The Minister of War took a deep breath.

"It's gone. Not only are all the weapons gone. Even the tools for making weapons are gone."

Ji Wei simply didn't dare to recall what he saw at the weapons manufacturing factory just now.

"There's nothing left but people."

"emperor--"

Gu Tai glanced at Emperor Mingde.

Their eyes met, and both of them understood that they could no longer blame the Su and Wang families for everything that happened in the past two days.

This is simply beyond human power.

No matter whether it is Su Zhenbei or Wang Taifu, no matter how powerful they are, they are still human.

"Prime Minister, something happened to the village where your clan is located as well."

Ji Wei looked at the Prime Minister. When he entered the palace just now, he saw the village head of the village where the Prime Minister's family lived and two people waiting outside the palace gate. As soon as he saw him, the village chief held him tight and begged him to bring a message to the prime minister, saying that something had happened in the village and everything in the ancestral hall had been lost.

"what?"

The Prime Minister's eyelids were twitching wildly. In the middle of the night last night, his mansion disappeared out of thin air, and a series of scandals occurred in the house. He took his family and quickly found a place to live. He was urgently announced to the palace by the emperor. Unexpectedly, something happened in the village where the Shou clan was located.

"You mean my ancestral hall?"

Ji Wei nodded, and the Prime Minister rolled his eyes and fainted.

Can he not faint?

Ji Wei is the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army, so can the secret of the grain depot under his ancestral hall be kept? He is a prime minister, but he has more food than the national treasury. What does he want to do?

"Where's the granary?"

The Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue stared straight at Ji Wei. The granary was still in good condition when he went to court just now. Could it be that the granary has also been stolen now?

"Not bad."

Ji Wei looked at Gu Tai again,

"Gu Taiwei's mansion is gone."

"Oh--"

Gu Tai's face was expressionless. From the time he received the emperor's order, he had already checked many mansions and moved them to nothing. Even the palace was stolen. If only his Gu family is fine, then what will happen to him?

Now, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Besides, he is different from these stupid ministers. He worked in Zhaowei for so many years and had enemies all over the world. There are people who want him dead every day. How could he put all his finances in the house?

"Report - eight hundred miles urgent!"

Long Wei led three detective horses and suddenly hurried up to the palace.

The black-clad detective knelt on the ground, "The Japanese pirates from Donglin State have invaded Daqi and have occupied three cities."

Tan Ma in white knelt beside him, "There is a severe drought in the south, the weather is extremely hot, and fires often break out in the woods. South Vietnam is ready to move."

Another man in black didn't dare to raise his head, "The plague is rampant in the four counties of Yunzhou."

The hall fell into deathly silence for a moment.

Emperor Mingde's face was ashen,

"My dear friends, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, according to the original plan, let the third prince lead a team to go north, make peace with Northern Xinjiang, send New Year coins, open a border market, receive the Su family's army, and deal with matters in Yanjing City."

The right minister dragged the remaining leg forward and continued calmly,

"The Japanese pirates in the east border country are a small country. They dare to attack our Qi Dynasty because they want to take advantage of the internal and external troubles in our Qi Dynasty. I asked the king of Yan to lead an army of 100,000 black feathers to march eastward and regain the lost territory. At the same time, he will lead the imperial army. Ten doctors went to deal with the plague."

The ministers were speechless, yes, the prince passed away, the nine generals of the Su family were gone, and Su Zhenbei was abolished. Isn't it true that the most capable person in the Daqi Dynasty is His Highness King Yan?
