This Great Emperor Is Also My Friend

The Eight Sorrows were not found, and the military actions of Xiaoqiwei lacked legitimacy.

In the opinion of the officials impeaching Du Heng, as long as there is no "Eight Suffering Devil", these things that happened in the Shantang are just a "homicide", with slightly more people killed.

Since it was a homicide, it was the scope of the work of Jingzhao Mansion and the Ministry of Criminal Justice. What does it have to do with Xiaoqiwei?

You said too many people died?

Those who die are all orphans, who cares? Some people even secretly feel that the more these orphans die, the better the urban environment and public security.

Of course, the root cause of such a large-scale impeachment was not "lack of legitimacy of military action", but... Du Heng opened the scars of official corruption.

There were more than three hundred shantangs in Jidu and Guicheng. Nearly 100 shantangs were sacrificed in blood, and all other shantangs had problems, and none of them were clean.

This is still the capital city, and by extension, how many shantangs in the entire Daqi area are there to hide dirt?

Just the collusion between the Jingcheng Shantang and the Iron Knife League can involve most of the officials of the "Chengen Buzesi" of the Ministry of Rites, as well as the officials of other ministries with whom they have interests.

Uncovering this scar, more people are offended.

So... After the military operation of Xiaoqiwei to investigate the shantangs, they failed to find the "Eight Sorrows". The officials happily criticized the rationality of this action with this reason, and proved Du Heng’s investigation of the shantangs. "illegal".

The actions are all "illegal", and the corruption detected is naturally "not enough to win trust."

In political struggle, facts and truth are not important at all, what matters is who has the right to speak.

As long as Du Heng is defeated, there will be no corruption in Shantang.

……………………

"Your Majesty, a memorial from the cabinet."

Father Anlun took a few small eunuchs and carried a large box of memorials into the imperial study room.

"Is all impeaching Du Heng?"

Qi Huang glanced at it and frowned tightly.

"It is indeed the memorial to impeach His Royal Highness King Heng."

An Lun bowed and reported to Qi Huang.

"Don't watch it, throw it out and burn it."

Qi Huang waved his hand. The little eunuch, who was carrying the memorial box, quickly carried the memorial down again.

"King Heng... why is he so reckless?"

After the eunuch was gone, Qi Huang turned his head and looked at An Lun, and said, "The Shantang case has turned against the sky. After all, King Heng is still too young to do things properly."

An Lun bowed his head and said nothing, not daring to answer.

"You go and tell him, I will suppress this for him first."

Qi Huang's face was gloomy, "Tell him that he must be cautious in his actions in the future, and don't lose too much because of small mistakes. Compared with literati and scholars, who is more important than ordinary people?"

"Yes!"

An Lun bowed to take his orders and retreated.

……………………

Xiaoqiwei Town Fusi.

Du Heng received the "oral instruction" from An Lun.

"Lord, the sage asked the old slave to tell you that you must be cautious in your actions in the future, and you must not lose too much because of small things. People of the district, compared with scholar-bureaucrats, are they more important?"

Compared with ordinary people and scholar-officials, which one is more important?

Only then did Du Heng understand that in this era, people are not equal to people!

Especially in this era with the power of Transcendent, the gap between ordinary people and scholar-bureaucrats is simply huge difference.

Ordinary people without the power of Transcendent, even without the qualifications to rebel, slapped them to death with a backhand slap.

The truth that water can carry and overturn a boat is totally unworkable here. The common people did not pose any threat to the rule of the dynasty.

Scholar-bureaucrats are the "water" that "can carry and overturn the boat." The common people are just sediment under the water, meaningless.

Du Heng let out a long sigh, but a fire was held in his heart.

Such a dynasty really doesn't match my Three Views. Maybe... I'll just rebel.

Replace it! I will be the emperor!

After dismissing An Lun, Du Heng suppressed the idea of ​​"replacement" and first solved the immediate problem.

"Zhao Hongcheng!"

Du Heng stood up and shouted outside the door.

"The end will be!"

Heavenly Dog Zhao Hongcheng hurriedly walked into the lobby and bowed to Du Heng.

"I think the Demon of the Eight Sorrows must be hidden in the capital. It is very possible that the Demon Sect thief is planning some bigger conspiracy."

Du Heng instructed Zhao Hongcheng, "Send all Xiaoqiwei secret agents to trace the whereabouts of the Eight Sorrows."

"Yes!"

Zhao Hongcheng bowed his head and left.

……………………

In the evening, Du Heng and Wei Yuan left the Zhenfu Siyamen together and returned to the Yuheng Courtyard.

Standing in the study, Du Heng frowned tightly while looking at a map of the capital hung in front of him.

The magic door has refined the "Eight Suffering Demon", but why is it hidden?

What is the purpose?

After spending so much thought, you finally became the "Eight Suffering Demon", but you didn't let it out to kill people, so you wouldn't use it as a collector's item, right?

People in Devil Dao are extremely selfish. They didn't release the "Eight Sorrows", definitely because... it would be more beneficial for them not to release it.

Where is this "profit"?

Du Heng frowned tightly, unable to find a clue at all.

"Master, Lin Han, please see you."

At this time, Wei Yuan came up to report.

Lin Han? What is he here for?

A hint of surprise appeared in Du Heng's heart, and he waved to Weiyuan, "Let him in."

This Lin Han is naturally the brother Lin who had already taken refuge in Du Heng during the last Huang Huagang incident.

After a while, Lin Han walked in and saluted Du Heng, "Meet the prince."

"Free gift!"

Du Heng waved his hand, "Brother Lin, you are visiting late at night, I don't know what is important?"

"Master, this evening, I suddenly received a secret letter saying that it was to be handed to you."

Lin Han took out a letterhead, reached out and handed it to Du Heng.

"Secret letter?"

Du Heng frowned, reached out and took the letterhead.

Open it and take a look... Du Heng's eyes suddenly shrink.

"Do you want to know where the Eight Sorrows are? At midnight, I will meet at the pier in Guicheng City."

This letter...who wrote it? What is the purpose?

Secretly launched the "Plum Blossom Easy to Count", Du Heng used the ability to "see good fortune and avoid evil" to foretell good and bad.

No blame! No danger.

However, fortune-telling has never been absolutely accurate. Even if you want to go, you must be fully prepared.

Putting away the letterhead, Du Heng nodded to Lin Han, "Thank you, Brother Lin, for sending the letter. I still have important things to do, so I won’t leave Brother Lin."

"Yes. Lin Han retires!"

Lin Han bowed and left.

Du Heng called Liu Jing, Wei Yuan and Bai Mei'er over, "At midnight, I'm going to the city pier. The three of you are ready to answer in secret."

"His Royal Highness, the son of a daughter, can't sit still. How can you take risks with your body?"

Liu Jing quickly discouraged.

"Prepare a few more moving talisman, even in distress, we can retreat at any time."

Du Heng is now the "Master of Formation", and even if he encounters any danger, he can instantly set up the movement array and retreat at any time.

Since the "clues" sent by someone, no matter whether it is true or not, you have to look at it.
