Fish swimming around the world

Then he slowly turned his gaze to Jiang Fan: "The King of Zhenxi is the one who suffers, what do you think?"

Jiang Fan gritted his teeth and pretended to be angry: "I obey your Highness's decision, but this matter is actually related to the Dragon Guard Army. I didn't expect it. I heard that Mr. Zhong, the Prime Minister, is upright and proficient in the law. I am bold enough to appeal. No matter who is in charge, I dare to ask Mr. Zhong to join us in the investigation. What do you think of it, Your Highness?"

Suddenly the expressions of everyone present changed.

None of these bosses are the best among men, and they can all see that there must be something fishy about this matter. There may be some kind of conspiracy behind the scenes. After all, they dare to assassinate Wang Jue at the foot of Mount Tai. How deep is the pool? .

It would have been fine if the King of England had been left alone to investigate, and finally the situation was settled, and the King of Zhenxi was finally given a compensation account, and the matter was resolved safely. But if Zhong Houde is involved, it means he will not let go.

Because Zhong Houde is Zhang Zhiling's disciple and is innately close to the King of Zhenxi, he will definitely make efforts to investigate strictly, but he is afraid of investigation on this kind of thing. It would be a big mess to chase anyone out.

Although King Zhenxi is young, everyone knows that he is as wise as a demon and cannot understand the ways of the world. There are only two reasons. First, he is indeed very angry and must give an explanation. Secondly, it is not ruled out that he wants to make a big fuss out of this matter.

But in this way, if evidence is found that is unfavorable to His Highness the Third Prince or any of the big shots behind the scenes, a change in power is likely to occur.

For a moment, everyone else was silent.

Ji Zongyi seemed to be thinking seriously.

But at this time, Ji Zongyao said forcefully: "My brother agrees with Mr. Zhong's opinion that the guilty person should avoid suspicion. I also ask the emperor to choose another candidate. He should first be dismissed from his post and grounded until the truth comes to light."

Jiang Fan secretly sighed: What a Ji Zongyao, this is to prove his innocence, and it obviously shows that he is very confident. I believe it is impossible to find him. Even if he is found, there will be no evidence. After all, everyone is dead. .

Ji Zongyao's request was opposed by Huangfu Zhaoye and the deputy commander of the Long Guard Army. They believed that the matter could never be related to His Highness the Third Highness, and that the Long Guard Army was related to the safety of the imperial court and was a top priority. Now Long Shuai is in retreat. , only His Highness the Third can fully control, how can the military morale be easily shaken.

However, Zhong Houde believes that this is the case. The Longwei Army is the top priority and must be extremely cautious. Only external intervention can make a thorough investigation.

There was a big argument among the big guys in the hall.

Jiang Fan had an angry look on his face, but he didn't say anything. He muttered in his heart, "I'll see what he says in the end."

At this time, someone suddenly asked to see him and said he was an insider.

A sneer flashed across Ji Zongyi's eyes, but he was summoned immediately.

Not long after, a general wearing armor came up, named Wang Chuan, known as Deputy General Wu Feng.

This guy came to report, and he also presented evidence, a dozen secret letters, and two large boxes of jewelry.

The secret letter clearly recorded that Wu Feng was colluding with Yao Chen, the leader of the Ten Evils in Cangshan. Yao Chen paid Wu Feng a lot of money and asked him to seal the city and kill people, and at the same time avenge his master. According to Wu Feng's letter, there is a promoter behind it, who seems to be a big boss of a certain country, but he did not make it clear.

With Wu Feng's autographed letter, as well as these so-called jewelry and witnesses, Ji Zongyao was suddenly cleared of suspicion, and turned his finger on the big boss of a certain country behind Yao Chen.

Of course, it would be difficult for a conscientious person to believe this, but the evidence is conclusive. You can't make random guesses in the face of the evidence. That is obviously looking for trouble.

Jiang Fan shook his head secretly. Ji Zongyao was really well prepared, but Wu Feng was not bad enough. He was so loyal to him that he could be called a dead soldier.

Therefore, the final result was no surprise. Ji Zongyao kept his position and would work with Zhong Houde and Ting Wei to investigate the person behind the scenes.

Why are they still investigating? Jiang Fan has no doubt that Yao Chen will probably die that day. Without Ji Zongyao's intervention, if the mission fails, Taihua will not be able to keep him as an unstable factor.

One ring after another, but Jiang Fan was not disappointed. He understood that this was all for face, and there would be actual compensation, and it would be very generous.

Sure enough, Ji Zongyi first offered generous terms on behalf of the Zhou royal family.

"The royal family cannot escape the blame for Jiang Qing's family being in danger. I, the Crown Prince, take note of this and grant you the hereditary title of Prince of Zhenxi, in order to reassure you.

This opening surprised all the officials. The king's title is hereditary, which means that as long as the Great Zhou Dynasty is still there, no matter who wants to ban Jiang Fan's name in the future, it will be impossible.

Jiang Fan has been guarding Western Qin forever for generations. Once he and Ying Wushuang have a child in the future, won't he justifiably succeed as the King of Qin? So, if you don’t recognize Ying Wushuang now, it doesn’t matter. In the future, you will have to recognize her son. Then back to the other side, what can Ying Wushuang do in the name of his son?

But right now there is no way to refute, no reason, let alone get into trouble. Moreover, the prince's move seems to be to appease people's hearts, telling you that you can still inherit the title even if you have no descendants. And right now, King Zhenxi doesn’t even have any heirs, so you’re nothing to oppose.

But this was obviously not over yet. The prince continued: "Jiang Qing has outstanding literary talent and has been granted the title of Grand Bachelor of Longyuan Pavilion. It shows that you do not kneel down and have the right to strike the fou to make an audience. He is also given a Guanrifeng residence."

Upon hearing this, which seemed more like a comforting reward, Ouyang Tu, the leader of Longyuan Pavilion's academicians next to him, was the first to show surprise. Jiang Fan Wenhua Guogai, this title is really no problem, but where is Longyuan Pavilion? There is nothing wrong with allowing Jiang Fan, the king of Qin, to come and go freely...

Jiang Fan was also moved.

Longyuan Pavilion Grand Secretary is the official position Zeng Jing holds. It is not a real official position, but it is a very important title. For example, the classics, rituals, laws, historical books, imperial edicts, official documents, etc. of the Great Zhou Dynasty are all under the management of Longyuan Pavilion.

Of course, there are indeed many benefits to being able to consult these, but it is difficult for Jiang Fan to consult them, so for him, it is just a title. But it is still useful. Not kneeling when meeting the king has no meaning except for others to see, but the two privileges of this title have hidden meanings.

First, beating the drum to see the emperor, what does it mean? It means that no matter whether he is in court or not, no matter whether the king has something to do, he can meet the king by beating the drum if he has something to do. In other words, he has the right to meet the king at any time. Young Master Jiang keenly felt that it was probably because the old man was opening a back door for him to visit his relatives.

But in the eyes of others, it is just a title with no substance, just to appease the frightened King of Zhenxi.

The second benefit is the right to choose and discuss politics. What does it mean? It means that he can not care about things, but he can participate in and have a say in things he wants to care about. Obviously, it is also convenient for the future.

As for granting a mansion, it is also interesting. On the surface, this is a convention of the Great Zhou Dynasty, allowing important officials to set up mansions in the imperial court to show honor and favor, but it is fun for Jiang Fan. It means that he will have a home in Taiyue Guanri Peak in the future. Since he has a home, he can go home at any time, and he doesn't have to ask for the mountain gate to open.

Moreover, this matter also lightly resolved Taiyue's means of sealing the mountain and capturing the murderer. Taiyue sealed the mountain in the name of Jiang Fan's assassination. It was obvious that he didn't want him to leave at the beginning, and it was not lifted later. To a large extent, it didn't want anyone to enter the mountain. But you can't seal it forever. As long as the mountain gate is opened, you can go in and out at any time.

Jiang Fan couldn't help but secretly raised his thumbs, taking advantage of every opportunity, but without leaving any traces. As expected, Lao Liu.

Ji Zongyao might realize something at this moment, but he couldn't say anything when he was still dripping with dirty water. Even Huangfu Zhaoye couldn't raise any objections because he had just protected the Third Prince.

Then there were a variety of insignificant consolation rewards.

In the end, Jiang Fan seemed to have no choice but to suppress his anger and accept it angrily.

This also made everyone except Ji Zongyi breathe a sigh of relief. In the eyes of the ministers, it was really troublesome. How could such a thing happen? Who did it to assassinate this person with the most sensitive identity in such a big way?
