The reborn prince's wife

Chapter 367 The situation changes suddenly

The next morning, officials from Yushitai impeached An Wang for corrupting the law and seizing people's wealth. Many officials in the six departments joined the people in writing, listing An Wang's clique for personal gain, secretly swallowing food, salaries and disaster funds.Afterwards, Master Yang angrily took out the correspondence between King An and his henchmen, as well as the private funds paid to him everywhere, all of which are the people's fat and people's anointing. The evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied.At the same time, the previously thoroughly investigated corruption case has made new progress, which proves that it is related to King An, and many people from King An's family have been implicated.

Long Yan was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of King An's affairs. King An couldn't argue with anything, and passed out in the early court.

Time, the situation changed suddenly.

At noon, the young prince who hadn't appeared in the capital for a long time suddenly entered the palace to meet the emperor. The emperor, who was discussing matters in the imperial study, did not let the officials of various ministries leave. , directly shocked the six officials on the spot.

If the impeachment of Wuchao Chaozhi has made King An's situation gone, then the news brought by the eldest son of Lord Dongfang is enough to make King An unable to turn around. Officials willing to surrender to him or those officials who bumped into his good deeds would use silence methods. King An holds the lives of more than a dozen court officials in his hands. For this alone, King An will undoubtedly die.

The emperor's anger can be imagined, and the last thing that ignited the emperor's repressed anger happened in the inner palace. The empress reported that there was a witchcraft doll hidden in the palace of King An's younger sister, the current concubine. , and the person she cursed turned out to be the current saint. This matter is so important that the empress could not decide, so she reported it to the emperor.

One after another, the entire court was shocked. If it is still not clear that someone is trying to make King An unhappy, then these officials who have been in the officialdom for many years will be in vain.

No one would stand up and speak up for King An, they just hoped that this matter would pass quickly and not be implicated.

Fortunately, there is probably only Lord Dongfang. I heard that the eldest son of the Dongfang family sent people to investigate this matter. It has been proved that Lord Dongfang was framed by King An. At this time, the truth has been revealed, and Lord Dongfang is innocent. , and when the eldest son investigated the case of Lord Hou's murder, he also found out a lot of evil things that Wang An had done in the past, but he played a great role in Wang An's case in a wrong way.

In just three days, the case of King An was closed, all the confidants of King An were dead, most of King An's henchmen were dealt with, and the remaining fringe figures were sick at home and did not dare to show up. The people were not exterminated. Except for the execution of the mastermind, the others were put into prison or exiled to the frontier. In short, this time King An was completely destroyed, involving hundreds of people. The number was huge. Originally, the court officials He thought that the emperor just wanted to shake the mountain and shake the tiger, but he didn't expect that he would pull out the bottom line this time, and wiped out Wang An and his henchmen without missing anything.

Everyone knew that Huang had been waiting for this day for a long time, but they didn't expect to be able to act so vigorously. Not only did they not see the slightest hint of wind from their eyes, but they didn't even have time for An Wang to react and make arrangements.

When discussing meritorious deeds and rewards, the emperor gave the greatest credit to Dongfang Ye and the Yang family, and then came Yushitai and the officials of the six departments. Of course, King Ling and Dongfang Lin were also great contributors. People can reach.

Especially the Yang family, who were originally the emperor's favored ministers, are even more beautiful in this way. Compared with the rewards from the Dongfang family, there are more appeasements. Although he has been innocent now, it is still necessary to give him some reassurance.

The matter of King An made the officials of the court understand many things, such as the emperor's trust in the eldest son of the Dongfang family and the importance he attached to the second son. Everyone suddenly realized that although the Dongfang family withdrew from the court disputes, the emperor's respect for the Dongfang family was not. It has never changed, Dongfang is far away from the world, the two sons were awarded by the emperor, the second son was promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Industry, thinking that the eldest son is not in good health and should not be an official in the court, but he was also given the vacant position of a cabinet bachelor .

After this incident, everyone in the court thought that the court would have a long period of decline, but they didn't expect that the officials involved in the case of King An would be relegated and someone would take over immediately after they were demoted. Then they suddenly realized that the emperor had already arranged everything. I am afraid that only Huang, the mastermind behind the scenes, can arrange this good show.

Of course, at this time, only the emperor and Dongfang Ye were in the imperial study.

"Ah Ye has contributed the most to the matter of King An this time." The emperor never hesitated to praise, let alone Dongfang Ye, his right-hand man.

"All those who should be rewarded have been rewarded. The emperor should think about how to fill the vacant seat of King An in the future." Dongfang Ye lowered his head halfway, his eyes focused on the water glass in his hand, and his tone was calm.

In the past few years, King An's power has been huge, and the power in his hands is also great, otherwise they wouldn't have had to arrange it for so long.

"I thought you would be very interested." Huang narrowed his eyes and looked at Dongfang Ye.

"Thank you for being disrespectful." Dongfang Ye didn't even move his eyebrows, and rejected the emperor's intention. He used to run around for the court regardless of his body and mind. To stay with Liuyun for the rest of his life, it is natural to take good care of his body.

"You know very well who I will hand over my country to in the future. Now the person I trust the most is you..." The emperor stared at Dongfang Ye, and rarely spoke his mind.

Dongfang Ye frowned, of course he could guess what the emperor was thinking, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting here, but he was really unwilling to let him take over King An's affairs willingly, but he also understood the emperor's thoughts, King An The power in his hands and the military power in his hands always need someone to take care of them. Unless the emperor personally intervenes and brings them into his own hands, he will definitely find someone to take care of them.

"It's not impossible to take over, but there are conditions." Dongfang Ye glanced at the emperor. His decision cannot be changed. In this case, he should accept it obediently, but he is not a fuel-efficient lamp, so naturally he would not do this To easily embrace this hot potato, the emperor must give him some benefits.

"Okay." Huang nodded, and didn't ask Dongfang Ye's conditions at all. Anyway, they both knew each other's bottom line, and the conditions proposed by the other party's bottom line were acceptable even if it hurt.

"It's a deal." Dongfang Ye hooked his lips and smiled. When it comes to receiving benefits, he will never be soft-hearted.
