The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Chapter 24: Jinyiwei and Dongchang

Xiao Rui entered the clan's mansion, and was arranged by Xiao Mingying to live in a secluded house, where he had food, shelter and servants. He took good care of him, but he couldn't go out privately.

Xiao Mingying also arranged for people to go to Duanwang's mansion to investigate and interrogate people who were acquainted with Xiao Rui.

When people from the Zongren Mansion found the witch doll from Duan Wang Mansion, Xiao Feng was stunned, and when he heard that Xiao Rui was imprisoned in the Clan Mansion, he immediately entered the palace to meet Emperor Xia.

To intercede for Xiao Rui?

How can it be!

When Xiao Feng saw Emperor Xia, his voice was hoarse and he was filled with righteous indignation: "Father, I never expected that Xiao Qi would commit such an act of treason and injustice, an unforgivable crime, my son deserves to die, He borrowed at the son-in-law's mansion, he failed to fulfill the responsibilities of an elder brother, he didn't restrain him well, and let him go to hell, I implore His Majesty to punish the son-in-law."

Not to mention, Xiao Feng is very proficient in using idioms, it seems that he did not miss a lot of drafts when he entered the palace.

"Get out." Xia Huang seemed to be in a bad mood and scolded.

"Okay." Xiao Feng rolled out, thinking in his heart that his father must be angry with Xiao Rui, if he didn't punish himself, then he wouldn't be responsible.

Only then did he feel relieved.

Emperor Xia didn't have time to be quiet, and His Ninth Prince Xiao Yan entered the palace to ask for an audience.

This is sincere pleading for Xiao Rui, but his temper is too aggressive: "Father, it is impossible for Seventh Brother to do something to curse Father, this must be framed! It is framed! It is blamed! This is June Feixue's grievance! Father Emperor, Seventh Brother, he has lost his mother and concubine since he was a child, and he is not favored by you. He is pitiful enough. He is short of money and doesn't even have a home of his own. He has never complained, and he has never complained to you. , I see all of these, do you know that?"

Being accused by his son, Emperor Xia's face was not very good.

"Father, don't be a fool! This is not what Mingjun did, Brother Seven was wronged." Xiao Yan yelled loudly.

Emperor Xia really didn't want to pay attention to him, he waved his hands again and again, and let someone carry Xiao Yan out of the palace, out of sight and out of mind.

What Emperor Xia didn't expect was that the third prince Xiao Ze also came to plead for Xiao Rui. He was very reserved, but he just hoped that the clan's government could thoroughly investigate, without detailed evidence, he couldn't frame a prince with just a voodoo puppet.

Except for these three princes who entered the palace, the other princes were on the sidelines.

The people in the capital were talking about it, and the Seventh Prince, who was usually low-key and easy-going, was discussed by the world.

The investigation by the Clan Mansion was also clueless.

They searched Xiao Rui's residence in Prince Duan's mansion again, but found nothing else, and interrogated Gao Quan and the servants of Prince Duan's mansion, but also found nothing. Xiao Mingying also ordered that Xiao Rui should not be interrogated by torture without authorization, so this matter can only be dragged on without any results.

Xiao Rui was happy to be at leisure, eating and drinking, waiting for the next good show to start.

Sure enough, the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to impeach Xiao Rui.

Three counts of impeachment:

"First, deviate from the scriptures and do not do business properly. Cut classes and be lazy, offend your teacher, speak lightly, and don't think about making progress."

"Secondly, as a son of man, it is a crime of unfilial piety to practice witchcraft and curse His Majesty."

"Third, as a prince, he has bad character and is outrageous."

Emperor Xia was not angry, and discarded the impeachment performance at the table.

"Who sent it?" Emperor Xia asked with a smile as he sipped his tea.

Haigong, as the eunuch with palm prints of the Supervisor of Rituals, was responsible for reporting the cabinet memorials to Emperor Xia, so he naturally knew it well.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, it was drafted by Mr. Xu, a scholar of the Wenhua Palace." Eunuch Hai said.

Emperor Xia nodded, and then asked: "What can we find from Jin Yisi?"

"There is important evidence, and we will wait for His Majesty's decree." Haigong said.

Emperor Xia rubbed his eyebrows: "I want to split the Jinyi Division from the twenty-four yamen of the palace to form the Jinyi Guard, and at the same time, you will establish the East Factory. Combining internal and external, we will carry out assassination and investigation missions."

"Yes!" Eunuch Hai knelt down to receive the order.

His face was calm, but deep in his heart was turbulent. He knew that Emperor Xia had already begun to set up a crown prince and cultivate a weapon for the successor.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang, this was the idea of ​​Emperor Xia long ago, and it has not been established for a long time, fearing that it will affect the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty and bring bad influence.

Now, this move has finally been taken.

In the world, the person who knows Emperor Xia best is Eunuch Hai. He naturally understands why Emperor Xia did this.

However, he couldn't guess which prince was the prince whom Emperor Xia approved of?

It only needs to remember one thing, that it is His Majesty's dog.

The next day, an imperial edict was issued to the cabinet.

Li Mingchong, the chief assistant of the cabinet, saw that it was Eunuch Hai who handed over the edict in person, and had a premonition that something was wrong.

Opening the imperial edict and reading it carefully, Li Mingchong frowned.

The content is very simple. Jinyi Division splits out the inner office of the imperial palace and establishes Jinyiwei. General Zhang Yu of the Imperial Forest Army is transferred to the commander and selects members from the forbidden army. Jin Yiwei directly drives the guards, inspects and arrests, is in charge of the prison, gives the power of inspection and arrest, and sets up the Zhenfu Division.

Hai Dafu, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, established the East Factory, who concurrently served as the eunuch in charge of the East Factory.

Seeing the powers of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang, Li Mingchong took a deep breath. He couldn't guess Xia Huang's intentions, but he knew that from now on, the storm in the capital would not stop.

The cabinet issued an edict to announce it to the world, and the edict quickly spread to all prefectures and counties in Daxia through post stations.

It was the first time in the capital that they heard about Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and they didn't pay much attention. Some officials, on the other hand, are wary.

When Xiao Rui heard about it, he froze on the spot.

The history is surprisingly consistent, and the secret agent structure that makes people talk about it in memory was quietly established in the Great Xia Kingdom. As a prince, he also had to be careful of Jin Yiwei and Dongchang's spies, even thinking about it made his back hurt.

"Dear father, you are already in power and planning, why do you still do this?" Xiao Rui couldn't figure it out.

But for him, let's start his own plan.

Thinking of this, he spread out the paper and started writing.

After packing the envelope and sealing it with wax paint, Xiao Rui ordered someone to invite Xiao Mingying.

"Xiao Rui, why are you looking for this king?" Xiao Mingying said kindly.

Xiao Mingying is older among the existing princes and has a high prestige, so Emperor Xia handed over the clan mansion to him. He took good care of these princes.

Xiao Rui cupped his hands and said: "Uncle Huang, I have a secret letter here, please help me pass it on to Emperor Father."

"Oh?" Xiao Mingying took the secret letter and said with a smile: "You boy, you are very slippery. Okay, your uncle will run for you."

"Thank you, uncle." Xiao Rui thanked.

Xiao Mingying nodded, and said: "Your temperament follows your mother, I absolutely do not believe that you will do something cursed."

After finishing speaking, Xiao Mingying seemed to be recalling the past, showing nostalgia, and then got up and walked out of the room.

Xiao Rui scratched his head. When he crossed over, he had very little memory of his concubine mother. She passed away too early, and now even her appearance is blurred.

It's strange to say that Xiao Rui hasn't seen his mother and concubine's family for many years. His grandfather and grandmother should still be alive, as well as his uncle and aunt. Why don't they come to the capital?

Could it be that there are other secrets in it?
