Chapter 5286: Guarding the City Gate

"The Ministry of Justice has an unshirkable responsibility for assassinating a minister in the court. This matter must be thoroughly investigated from the Ministry of Justice. If there were no outsiders to tip off, who could assassinate a minister so smoothly in Tiancheng?!"

Ji Kong's face darkened, and the expression of the Minister of Justice was also indifferent, but Ji Kong did not speak, and the Minister of Justice naturally did not know his attitude, so he did not speak.

The hall was silent for a long time, and Ji Kong sneered: "Okay, Sixth Sister thinks it is the responsibility of the Ministry of Justice, not the responsibility of Zhendu Prefecture, then let's see who is responsible in the end!"

The Minister of Justice knew Ji Kong's attitude, and snorted coldly: "It's probably too early for Minister Ye to make a conclusion. If it is discovered that you directed and acted it yourself just to win the sympathy of the emperor, what should we do?"

Other ministers of the Ministry of Justice also spoke up one after another, attacking the forces to which Ji Youlan belonged, accusing the Ministry of Personnel, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Works.

However, when the Ministry of Justice criticized several major ministries, the ministers of these major ministries, even Liu Zhenyun, who had the highest status, did not say a word and pretended not to hear.

Compared with the strength of the Ministry of Justice, they were still too weak. The main comparison was the number of strong men. The bigger the fist, the harder it was. Their fists were not strong, so how could they dare to argue with the Ministry of Justice.

Seeing that no one took the lead to compete with the Ministry of Justice, Ye Wudao frowned, and Ji Youlan's face was not very good either. It was really unexpected that these major ministries were so soft.

Of course, thinking deeply, it was not too unexpected. After all, a minister was assassinated last night, and it was their people. If they were in the limelight at this time, would they be assassinated?

Seeing Ji Youlan's power was weak, Ji Kong raised a sneer: "Haha, you are just like this. You are too young to think about opposing me. You should think clearly about whose side you will stand on in the future."

"Your Highness, it's too early to say that." Ye Wudao directly retorted, "You should know that I am in charge of the inner ring of the city."

Ji Kong's expression was cold: "So what!?"

"I guess it was you who did it!" Ye Wudao's tone was also a bit stern.

"How dare you!" Ji Kong's face flushed, and he scolded: "You are just a small minister, and you dare to speak wildly to me. Are you tired of living?!"

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice and others also spoke up.

"Minister Ye, you dare to question the prince?"

"Without actual evidence, you are slandering, and you deserve the death penalty!"

"Now we can take you down in front of the emperor!"

Ji Qingwu, who was on the side of the second princess, saw that the conflict was getting fierce, and they all watched the show with gratification, and did not intend to support anyone.

At this moment, Ji Tianxing walked out slowly from the back of the hall, and his majestic and dull voice sounded.

"Who are you going to take down?"

Everyone reacted immediately and saluted Ji Tianxing hurriedly.

"Your Majesty!"

Ji Tianxing walked slowly to the dragon throne, sat down and said lightly: "Speak clearly, who are you going to take down?"

Ji Kong said: "Father, Minister Ye made a bold statement. Before the facts were clear, he claimed that the assassination of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works was done by his son!"

"Oh, so you, the Ministry of Justice, are going to take him down?" Ji Tianxing smiled playfully.

Seeing Ji Tianxing's expression was not right, Ji Kong immediately said: "This is not what I think. The facts must be investigated before a conclusion can be drawn. As for the angry words and nonsense, they naturally cannot be regarded as facts."

"Things have happened for several consecutive days." Ji Tianxing's face darkened a little, and he said: "Zhendu Prefecture is indeed responsible, but I think the Ministry of Justice is more responsible!"

Ji Kong's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Father, there are people from the Ministry of War outside Tiancheng, working with us to guard. After Minister Ye was attacked, it was the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice, the two departments worked together to defend Tiancheng!"
