Chapter 234 Sowing discord

The effect is obvious and has indeed greatly reduced casualties.

The reputation of the Heavenly Punishment Department has become even greater.

Some officials even began to persuade His Majesty to take back the power over Prince Yi.

Or let Prince Yi go to a fiefdom and keep him away from the center of power, otherwise there is no guarantee that Prince Yi will not have ulterior motives.

How can there be true family affection between royal brothers? Won’t they become enemies for power?

However, the official who proposed this matter was directly sent to serve as an official in a poor area, and he would be reinstated when he achieved political achievements.

How would they know? If Xingdi really wanted to be the emperor, he would have handed it over without hesitation. Why would he have to snatch it away?

Previously, when Xingdi came up with a solution to the poison, didn't these officials all praise Xingdi for his resourcefulness and said it was a blessing to the world and the people?

Why is it that now that the crisis in the world has been resolved, we are starting to deal with the meritorious officials?

Do they think they will be like the Emperor of Chu, who would hide his bows when the birds are all gone and cook the dogs when the rabbit is dead?

How ridiculous!

These ministers are still too idle. They should be transferred to other places to do some practical work instead of keeping an eye on my brother all day long.

It makes him seem so loyal, huh!

This example of killing a chicken to warn the hundred immediately silenced the other officials who were ready to make a move, and some even felt puzzled: Does His Majesty trust Prince Yi so much?

Now the common people only know about Prince Yi’s Heavenly Punishment Department, but they don’t know, Your Majesty, that Prince Yi is deeply loved by the people. This is not a good sign!

Lu Zhanyan summoned the three assistant ministers, his brows cold and cold: "What are your opinions on what happened in the morning court today?"

Prime Minister Su naturally sided with his son-in-law, defending him indignantly: "Your Majesty is wise. It was you who ordered the establishment of the Heavenly Punishment Department. The people naturally know your achievements, and Prince Yi also obeys your orders. How could it be disadvantageous to Your Majesty?"

"In my opinion, they are probably jealous of the fact that Prince Yi is highly valued by His Majesty, so they are making trouble out of nothing."

Lord Wei naturally sided with His Majesty. After all, if he didn't, he would be transferred somewhere else. He always knew how to handle the current situation.

All in all, he has gone through four dynasties and is still firmly sitting on the position of Prime Minister, which has a lot to do with his ability to understand the current affairs.

However, none of the younger generation of the Wei family is outstanding, which leads to the fact that he dares not resign from his official position even at his old age.

"Prime Minister Su is absolutely right! I believe that someone must have ulterior motives to sow discord between Your Majesty and Prince Yi. We must not let such a sinister person succeed."

Mei Ge Lao also agreed: "What Wei Ge Lao said makes sense. I second your proposal!"

Others may not know it, but I myself should know it clearly. Your Majesty possesses the Black Dragon Order. Even if Prince Yi is very powerful, he cannot defeat Your Majesty. Unless Your Majesty voluntarily gives up the throne, all efforts will be in vain.

Now, if someone wants to sow discord between your Majesty's brothers, they will only suffer the consequences.

After hearing the opinions of the three assistant ministers, Lu Zhanyan nodded in agreement. When he ascended the throne, he announced to the world that seeing his younger brother was like seeing himself, and he also indirectly declared that his younger brother's status was equal to his. How could anyone use this to criticize his younger brother?

Who is sowing discord? Is it the Great Yan and the Qi?

He wanted the two brothers to become enemies, and then take the opportunity to attack the Daqian Dynasty?

No matter who it is, he will find him out.

"This matter will be handed over to Elder Wei for a thorough investigation. You have one month to find out who is behind this rumor."

Lord Wei felt very bitter, he was already an old man but His Majesty still refused to let him go, but his grandson-in-law was a descendant of the Chu family, so his faction was the biggest suspect, so His Majesty handed the matter over to him for a thorough investigation, which also gave him a chance to clear his name.

Otherwise, who knows if Chu Li has not given up and is secretly stirring up trouble?

He couldn't help but look at his arch-enemy, Prime Minister Su. Didn't this guy also give up on His Majesty's prospective son-in-law?

Fortunately, Prince Yi did not despise Su Xianye, otherwise his situation would not be much better than his own.

There is also this guy called Master Mei, who usually pretends to be very good, but it turns out that he is Lu Zhanyan's man. Among the three of them, he is the only one who is excluded.

Well, I'll use my remaining strength this time. If I can find the person behind the scenes, it will prove that my old bones are still useful.

At this time, Lu Zhanxing and his companions had already moved to Qinzhou to deal with the poisonous insects. She and Mu Qingli acted separately, while Ling'er was handed over to the care of the sisters Huaguo and Huali, who could also teach Ling'er how to treat poisons.

Lu Zhanxing stuffed the poisonous insects in the box into the space, and after a month, these poisonous insects would die automatically.

Mu Qingli froze the poisonous insects in the boxes, and they were always suffocated to death.

The treatment has greatly reduced the number of poisonous insects, and the safety of the people has been reduced by half.

Because the two of them worked together to deal with the poison, their relationship became much closer. Mu Qingli is now the Marquis of Yong'an, and when he returns to the capital, he will also be a marquis. In addition, both of them are Ling'er's father, so they call each other by their first names.

"Ah Xing, your reputation is too great, which is not good for you."

He found that it seemed like everyone was praising Prince Yi, but no one was praising His Majesty's wisdom. This was not right.

Lu Zhanxing naturally realized that someone was deliberately praising him. If his reputation was better than that of his brother, the emperor, it would indeed make people think too much.

However, I hope that my brother has not changed his mindset after ascending the throne.

Otherwise, after returning to Beijing this time, I would really have to propose to go to the vassal state.

"It's okay. If you don't believe me, I will go and become a vassal!"

She doesn’t even want to attend the morning court, so how can she be a social animal emperor who has to get up early and punch in every day?

I don’t know who is so bad that he wants to sow discord between me and my brother. If she knew, she would never let him go, humph!

Mu Qingli knew that Lu Zhanxing had a close relationship with His Majesty, and hoped that His Majesty was not a suspicious person.

Otherwise, even if he gave everything he had, he would still push Lu Zhanxing to the top.

Fortunately, Lu Zhanxing didn’t know what Mu Qingli was thinking, otherwise he would definitely scold him for not wanting to make things easy for him.

She pushed her brother to the throne just because she wanted to be a nobody. As for the emperor who has to attend morning court every day, whoever wants to be the emperor can do it.

"Could it be the Great Yan and Qi countries?"

The only people Mu Qingli could think of were people from these two countries.

"Maybe. It doesn't matter. Once things are done here, I'll go check it out myself."

I haven't seen Yan Xiao, the third prince of Yan State, for a long time, so this is a good opportunity to catch up with him.

I heard that he was imprisoned. That's better than being killed by the Crown Prince of Yan as written in the book, right?

"I'll go with you."

"Father, Daddy, I want to go too." Ling'er suddenly ran in from outside and said.

Huali and Huaguo also followed in and saluted their two masters.

Lu Zhanxing touched Ling'er's head and said, "Okay, how do you feel about learning medicine recently?"

Huali smiled and said, "Although the young master can't read, he can remember everything I say."

"Yes, the young master is very smart." Hua Guo also nodded in agreement.

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing was still very satisfied. She always knew that her daughter was smart and had a photographic memory.

Haha, I really gave birth to a genius.

His eyes couldn't help but fall on Mu Qingli. From top to bottom, he saw that her genes were indeed strong.

Mu Qingli felt Lu Zhanxing's undisguised gaze again, her expression suddenly tensed, and her body suddenly straightened.

He remained expressionless on the surface, but kept thinking in his heart, why did Ah Xing look at him like that?

In fact, it happened more than once. Every time, no matter who praised Ling'er, Lu Zhanxing would stare at herself for a while, especially when he looked down, his gaze was the longest.

He always felt a little uneasy and wondered anxiously whether Ah Xing was planning something bad.
