The emperor suddenly laughed, making all the court officials present laugh.

Many people secretly looked up and looked at each other. At first, they felt that the emperor was very angry and laughed.

They were not afraid of being angry and laughed. As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public. At the beginning, there were twenty or thirty court officials who jumped out to write the letter. When they finally knelt down and kowtowed, except for the unsuitable number of court officials who stood in the front, more than 80% of court officials knelt down.

So what can the emperor do? Have everyone been deposed? Unless he does not intend for the court to operate normally.

However, after listening for a while, everyone felt that it was not very angry and laughed.

Well, I smiled for a while and it seemed like I looked like it again...

I was confused by laughter and confused.

The ordinary courtiers were confused. The old masters standing at the forefront of the imperial stairs, especially the prime minister Zeng Xitong, muttered in their hearts: The emperor's reaction is abnormal, absolutely abnormal! But where is the abnormal? He can't analyze it even if he is good at guessing the emperor's psychology.

Looking at the people standing in the court, almost all the secret parties on his side had kneeled, some of the open parties had kneeled but some had not, and almost all the neutral factions had kneeled... Wait a minute, why did the prince, the prince's people almost not kneel?

Before I realized anything, I heard that the emperor had already opened his mouth: "Yesterday, the Grand Master told me that the Gudi conspired to rebel, and there were many connections in the court, and the parties were all over the court. This must have happened this morning, and I still don't believe it. I saw it today, it was true!"

???!!! All the court officials were stunned and looked up at the emperor. What does the emperor mean by what he said...

Zeng Xitong was the fastest reaction, but after hearing this, he was confused. Oh no, this is a trap!

Turning his head to look at Xiao Ling, Xiao Ling smiled at him. It was clearly the smile that the bird had entered the cage and the beast had entered the pit.

However, even if you understand, it is too late.

The emperor waved his hand and ordered the eunuchs to supervise: "Opin the edict!"

The eunuch had an imperial edict in his hand, and he immediately opened it and read it out. However, this imperial edict was not written for court officials. It was written for Xiao Ling, Peng Shuai, Lin, Wei Er National Master, and 6,000 cultivators.

Generally speaking, several immortals traveled thousands of miles to the city of Tianjing to assist the great cause of the dynasty and make many great achievements. I have given you your position. However, the place where you settled has not been arranged yet...

Therefore, I feel very relieved to know that you have captured the evidence of the collusion between the Shangshu Gu and the demon clan. As a reward, I will reward you with Shangshu Gu's mansion as a place where several of the Qing families live in Tianjing. As the uncle, as the Grand Tutor, as the Tai Gu Gu, as the Tai Guardian, I can't stay in Sifang Hall all the time, right? That's too unreasonable.

In addition, if you find money from the Gu Shangshu Mansion, you will also reward you all. As the salary and rewards of the 6,000 immortal masters, you can set up another army, called the Immortal Army. You can't do nothing but work without reward.

An imperial edict, four, six, and six, was very confusing. Xiao Ling and his friends were sure to not understand, but the court officials knew it at first, and they were all stunned when they heard it.

The reward was that the wealth of the Gu Shangshu family, the sea of ​​gold and silver, was directly rewarded by the emperor to the immortals?

Not only that. The most important thing is that the time for the imperial edict was issued, which was yesterday evening. Xiao Ling and others led their troops into the Shangshu Mansion, but they had not yet begun to search.

In other words, even if Xiao Ling and the others were greedy and turned all the things in the Shangshu Mansion from real to fake, they were also dealing with their own things... They were just doing useless work this morning, and there was no point in the slightest sense?

No, not only does it mean nothing, but a few quick-reacting court officials recalled what the emperor said before, and they were already sweating all over.

"No, it's impossible, the emperor actually issued such a decree. Why did the Secretariat have no records? Why did we not know at all?" Finally someone spoke tremblingly.

Zeng Xitong glanced at this person with appreciation, which was what he wanted to know.

The imperial edict issued by the court has its own specifications, and the internal edict can be ignored by the Secretary of the Central Committee. Such an edict must be seen through his eyes. It can be seen from the cover of the edict.

I don't know it? That's impossible.

Faced with this person's question, the emperor glared: "Don't you know the order I issued? You haven't read it and have poor work. Why do you come and ask me why? Do you want me to show you the records of the Eunuchs, or just look at the daily life notes?"

"I dare not! I dare not!" The questioner kowtowed immediately, and the blood was knocked out.

Look at daily notes? The records of the eunuchs’ province? Which onion and garlic are you?

The questioner was timid, but Prime Minister Zeng Xitong knew that the emperor was acting arrogantly.

There must be something wrong with this imperial edict, because he has never read it alone. So many people in the Secretariat, including himself, are they all blind? He turned a blind eye to such an important imperial edict?

However, since the emperor said that, the archives of the Secretariat, the foundation of the Eunuch, and the daily life notes should have been completely erased... Normally, that is impossible, but...

He instinctively glanced at Xiao Ling beside him. Xiao Ling smiled at him, without any pride and complacent because of turning the tide.

Zeng Xitong felt a little nervous: After leaving Concubine Li, this is really a ruthless thing. Concubine Li only knows how to act cute and cute, plunder and do those ridiculous things. These people know how to sell public opinion, and the court's intrigue, and hug the emperor's thighs, and can use fairy skills to do things that ordinary people cannot do... they are simply invincible.

What exactly do they want to do? Zeng Xi was so crazy about it at the same time.

In a daze, the emperor's thunderous anger continued: "I have rewarded the treasures and treasures of the Gu Shangshu Mansion to the two uncles, the two national masters and the immortals. You have even come to falsely accuse them of being greedy for their own money, which is ridiculous!" "Bang" slapped the dragon throne and stood up.

"What's particularly hateful is that Na Gudi has been in the court for many years, selling official positions and titles, corruption and abuse of power. According to statistics after the investigation of the Grand Master, his greedy goods are equivalent to silver, which is probably a huge amount of 80 million taels!"

Eighty million taels! Hiss... When he heard this number suddenly, the courtiers were confused. This was a number that was completely beyond their imagination.

"But such a huge amount of wealth has been secretly transferred from the mansion by Gu Di, and he is missing his whereabouts... Almost all the items in the mansion are fakes, none of them are real, gold is covered with lead, silver is covered with iron, and jade is white marble. The center of the mansion is missing, leaving behind a concubine and adopted son, which is probably just a cover-up."

"Then where did he go to the 80 million taels of silver that he had bribed and abused? Could it be that he had all entered the hands of the demon clan, so that they could have money to buy weapons and armor, recruit people, and rebel, right?"

"And you are actually planning to put the 80 million taels of deficit on the heads of the Grand Master and the Immortals. If I hadn't issued an order yesterday, wouldn't the Grand Master and the Immortals be slandered by you? And the 80 million taels of deficit will be hidden and become a headless case?"

"My, I... I dare not!" A group of kneeling court officials were sweating profusely.

This is really a matter of not being able to make fun of you now, be careful to get a list in the future.

Everyone who jumped up and down before was honest now; everyone who had not shown her face before was relieved: Fortunately, she didn't jump in. This pit was too big, so she directly tied these guys and Shangshu Gu into a group.

Moreover, I really can't say that the analysis is wrong.

The collusion between Shangshu Gu and the demons was seen by everyone in the city, and no one can deny this...

In addition, he has been corrupt for more than ten years and has accumulated nearly 100 million yuan in funds. He has secretly made fraud and smuggled it out. He only has his concubine, adopted son, and stepson at home. He looks like he runs away at any time. He says he is not ill-behaved, who believes it?

At this moment, for his family wealth, he jumped up and down, and ignored the facts and wanted to blame Xiao Ling and his party for being bitten back, saying that you are from the same group as Gu Shangshu and want to find someone to take the blame and smooth the debt. It is really a rigorous logic and it is hard to refute.

The most important thing is that the imperial edict, the imperial edict requested by Park Rou, all the suspicions of Xiao Ling and others, and instantly changed from passive to active.

In short, a fierce questioning was gently reversed by Xiao Ling and his friends.

After scolding these people with a harsh voice, the emperor eased his tone: "Of course, I know that most of you are still good. Some were instigated by traitors, and some were misunderstood because the news was not complete..."

"I stepped back and went to the Three Courts for a while. I met and dealt with where I stayed last night, and said something, and why did I make an agreement to attack the court today, and I explained it one by one."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Everyone bowed.

The court meeting ended like this.

When they jumped out, they were full of energy, but the officials who were dejected at this moment left in shame.

Behind them were those who did not jump out and secretly rejoiced.

Later on, there are Zeng Xitong, Old Privy Councilor, Xiao Ling, and the Crown Prince and the Grand Marshal.

"Tai Shi... is such a good method!" Zeng Xitong said, looking at the backs of the officials, whether it was envious or jealous.

Alongside, the officials of the Prince's Department looked at each other and nodded with a stern heart. Especially Wang Chang, he was very glad that he went to see this guy last night and got a reminder. Otherwise, it would be nice to watch today...

Xiao Ling stopped and turned to Zeng Xitong. The prince and a group of high-ranking officials suddenly held the imperial edict he had just obtained and stuffed it into Zeng Xitong's hand: "The emperor asked me to investigate this matter thoroughly, but I really don't know the intrigues in the officialdom. The prime minister is deeply in the public's expectations and is the most sensible to the people. This matter is the most appropriate for you to preside over."

Just when Zeng Xitong and the princely prince were all stunned, Xiao Ling turned around and swayed away in the air, with a special lingering sound in the air: "I realized that the world is small after I became an immortal, and then I realized that I am profitable and fame are empty. I will return the Nine Turns to the Lord to go to the Truth, which is also the filial piety and loyalty in the world..."

This song should be good at pretending. After learning this lesson, I think these people should cooperate more honestly. (To be continued)
