This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 416 Changes in Heaven
The emperor, wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne.

Li Fei, who has truly integrated magic and martial arts, sensed more details from the emperor this time.

He vaguely felt a similar power from the other party's magnificent aura, which was also the power of the unity of magic and martial arts!
The power displayed by the evil weapons and military formations is the unity of magic and martial arts, which is the strongest collective force in the world.

'The best' Lin Tianyi is the combination of magic and martial arts, which is the strongest individual power in the world.

Now, the emperor also demonstrated the unity of law and martial arts.

He represents the highest power in the world!

"Could it be that the emperor, being in the palace, has great power?"

This thought came to Li Fei’s mind.

He had attended two grand court assemblies before, and he only felt that the emperor's aura was very majestic, but he did not truly feel the great power that belonged to the emperor!

But now, he vaguely sensed it.

"No wonder the imperial court was able to subdue so many top-level experts."

Li Fei said in his heart.

Although the strongest people in this world are not as powerful as those who can destroy the world, they can still defeat an army of thousands and destroy cities and move mountains!

In this case, if the person sitting on the dragon throne was just an ordinary person who had no martial arts or magic, wouldn't he be worried that one day he would suddenly lose his head?

Even if there are loyal masters from the palace guarding their master and the imperial army protecting them at all times, there may still be loopholes.

Now it seems that whoever can sit on this dragon throne should be able to make the great power belong to himself through some method!
Even if this power is limited to the imperial palace or the imperial city, it can at least ensure that the majesty of the royal family is real.

He possesses supreme power within, and has the Imperial Army to suppress the four directions outside, in addition to the strong men who are loyal to the royal family.

This is the foundation for the imperial court to rule the world!

"let's start."

Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor said lightly.

"Your Majesty, I, Su Xuesong, kowtow to you!"

As soon as the emperor finished speaking, a man stood up from the line of civil officials and knelt down to kowtow to the emperor.

It was Su Xuesong, the Inspector General of Gansu Province, who rushed all the way from Gansu Province to Lanling City.

As soon as this frontier official came on stage, he began to kneel and kowtow, which frightened all the ministers.

The Da Lan Dynasty was founded on military power and treated warriors very well. Warriors at the Daoji stage did not have to perform the ritual of kneeling and bowing when they saw the emperor.

As for the civil servants, they became the fourth-rank officials, and their treatment was the same as that of the warriors in the Dao Foundation Stage.

Su Xuesong was a cabinet official of the fifth rank, a level 17 official, and also a provincial governor.

Such a person naturally does not need to perform the ceremony of kneeling and worshiping.

Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor frowned slightly:

"Why are you doing this great honor, Mr. Su? Stand up and speak."

Su Xuesong was still kneeling on the ground, crying:
"Your Majesty, I want to apologize to you! I left the territory without permission, this is my first crime!"

As an inspector general, he could not leave his jurisdiction without permission.

"I said, stand up and speak."

The emperor emphasized his tone.

Su Xuesong's body trembled, and he stood up tremblingly and bowed:
"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Keep on telling your sins."

"Yes."

Su Xuesong finally raised his head, and his voice rang out in the hall:
"There is a non-governmental organization in Gan Province called the Entry into the World Association. I'm sure all the gentlemen present today have heard of it. This organization brings together elites from all walks of life in Gan Province and plays a pivotal role in Gan Province.

In the officialdom of Gansu Province, many officials have joined the WTO Accession Association, and many officials are very close to the WTO Accession Association.

Over the years, joining the WTO will be like a towering tree, almost blocking out the sun in Gansu Province!
I am incompetent. As an inspector general, I was unable to control the WTO, which eventually turned it into a cancer. This is my second sin!"

"Earlier, your majesty sent a special envoy to investigate the Tiantan assassination case. Marquis Jing'an investigated all the way to Gansu Province. I failed to cooperate with the investigation team, so that no one knew about the secret collusion between the Entry into the World Association and the New Heaven Association. This is my third crime!"

After he said this, many people in the hall changed their expressions, and the way they looked at Su Xuesong also changed.

Previously, Su Xuesong publicly impeached Chi Chengyu, the leader of the Zhige tribe in Gansu Province, mainly because he accused him of murdering his only son.

In the end, Su Xuesong even went to Lanling City in person to "file a complaint with the emperor."

In the eyes of many people, the inspector general made such a drastic choice because he was extremely sad and desperate over the death of his only son.

As a result, at the grand court meeting today, Su Xuesong did not mention a word about the murder of his only son.

Every word he said was an apology, but every word stabbed Chi Chengyu and the Rushihui in the heart!
In fact, as an inspector general, he made such a move and now confessed his crimes in front of the emperor.

His political future has basically been ruined, and it is even unknown whether he can continue to serve as an inspector general.

From this point of view, although Su Xuesong did not mention his only son, in fact, in order to avenge his only son, he would rather destroy himself and severely damage the Rushihui!

Sitting on the dragon throne, the emperor looked at Su Xuesong below and spoke slowly:
"Do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"Have!"

Su Xuesong immediately said, "Everything I just said is backed by evidence! I am willing to guarantee with my life that everything I just said is true!"

"Lou Hongtao."

the emperor suddenly shouted.

"The minister is here."

Lou Hongtao walked out of the queue.

"The Supervisory Council is responsible for this case and is required to verify the evidence provided by Su Xuesong within one month."

"I accept the decree."

"Su Xuesong."

The emperor looked at Su Xuesong again:

"You have deserted your post without permission and have taken the blame. I will be temporarily relieved of my position as Inspector General, pending the results of the investigation by the Supervisory Council."

Su Xuesong's face turned pale, revealing a miserable expression, and he said in a trembling voice:

"My lord, take the order!"

He had anticipated such a result, and it could be said that he brought this upon himself.

"Ni Xuan."

The emperor called out a name again.

Ni Xuan, the head of Zhige Pavilion, stepped out from the queue:

"The minister is here."

"Send a cabinet member to Gan Province to temporarily take over the position of Chi Chengyu, the head of the Zhige tribe, and let Chi Chengyu return to Beijing to defend himself."

The emperor said calmly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Xuesong burst into tears!

He was willing to sacrifice his own future and official position just to make the price of joining the society pay.

With this result, he at least managed to force a one-for-one trade with Chi Chengyu!

"I accept the decree."

Ni Xuan bowed.

The ministers in the front row looked at Su Xuesong with complicated expressions.

Using this method to force her to "swap" with Chi Chengyu is really too cruel!
Su Xuesong did this largely to avenge his son.

This makes people admire him a little bit.

Being ruthless does not necessarily mean you are a hero.

How can a pity child not be a husband?
Just like that, the first of the 'three major cases' finally had a result.

As for what the final result will be, we will have to wait for the investigation of the Supervisory Council in a month.

After handling the first major case, the emperor took the initiative to ask Lou Hongtao:
"How is the case of Prince Cheng's Mansion and the New Heaven Society going with the investigation by the Supervisory Office?"

Lou Hongtao replied:
"Your Majesty, under the interrogation of the Supervisory Council, Ji Xiuyong, a guest official of Prince Cheng's Palace, has confessed the entire process of his collusion with the Xintian Society. It has been confirmed that it is completely true."

"There are seven other people in Prince Cheng's mansion who are Ji Xiuyong's accomplices. They are..."

"There are eleven officials involved in this case, all of whom have been verified. Eight of them are clearly guilty, and three claim they were deceived."

He gave a clear and coherent report on the findings of the case.

After listening to this, the emperor asked:

"Is Qin Ziyu involved?"

"The prince was not involved in the investigation and actively cooperated during the investigation to help the Supervisory Council to get to the bottom of the case."

"Ah."

The emperor nodded, "Qin Ziyu."

"The minister is here."

Qin Ziyu stepped out and bowed.

"You failed to discipline your subordinates, which led to this incident in your mansion. Fortunately, you discovered the clues in time and cooperated with the Supervisory Office to investigate the case, thus making up for your mistake. I will punish you to reflect on your mistakes in seclusion in your mansion for half a year."

Qin Ziyu hurriedly said:
"I accept your order and thank you for your forgiveness!"

The emperor looked at his nephew below, and finally said in a gentle tone:

"Zi Yu, you are already an adult. If you want to inherit your father's title in the future, you must act more prudently."

Qin Ziyu's body trembled, and a hint of ecstasy appeared in his eyes.

He said loudly: "Yes, I will follow your majesty's instructions and be careful in the future and keep everyone in the palace in check!"

The ministers in the hall were all well aware of this major case and knew that Qin Ziyu would definitely be fine.

But they didn't expect that the emperor would take the initiative to make a pie in the end.

The title of King Cheng is hereditary. When it is passed to Qin Ziyu in the future, it will no longer be a king title.

But what the emperor meant in his words just now was that he intended to let Qin Ziyu inherit the throne and inherit the title of King Cheng in the future!
Even if it was just a 'cake', it was enough to make Qin Ziyu ecstatic.

"Qin Zihong."

After the emperor finished talking about Qin Ziyu, he called out the eldest prince’s name.

"My son is here."

The eldest prince stepped out from the queue.

"I heard that you played a big role in the case of Prince Cheng's Mansion this time. Did you have a part in the fact that the Supervisory Office was able to solve the case so quickly?"

"It is my duty as a son to share my father's worries. Besides, I believe that Zi Yu has been deceived, and I want to help him prove his innocence."

The eldest prince said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Ah."

The emperor nodded and said, "You have done a good job. You deserve a reward."

After saying that, the eunuch Feng Cheng beside him took out a long-prepared imperial edict and read out a series of rewards for the eldest prince:
Treasures, mansions and various cultivation resources!
Sitting in the chair, the prince looked normal.

The third prince at the front row of the queue glanced at Qin Ziyu and gave a playful smile.

After Feng Cheng finished reading the imperial edict, the emperor looked at Lou Hongtao again:
"I asked you to personally investigate the case of Zhengfa Pavilion. Have you found any results?" Lou Hongtao's expression became more serious.

"Reporting to your majesty, in the case of the Zhengfa Pavilion, I have found a total of 17 officials involved in the case. They were all involved in the illegal reselling of exotic beasts and magic tools. The evidence is conclusive."

"Oh?"

The emperor's voice turned cold, "Then who did you sell these exotic beasts and magic weapons to?"

Lou Hongtao immediately named a series of forces, including the Chamber of Commerce of Lanling City, martial arts sects from all over the country, and aristocratic families!
And these forces are all related to the third prince, openly or secretly.

Some of them openly work for the Third Prince, and although some do not make it clear, many people know that they are from the Third Prince's faction.

"Now that we have found out everything, we should arrest those who should be arrested and kill those who should be killed!"

The emperor said coldly.

This means these buyers will be severely punished!
The third prince stood in the queue with a calm expression, with no intention of standing up to plead for anyone.

"Yes."

Lou Hongtao bowed his head and accepted the order.

"Meehan."

The emperor called out a name again.

The deputy leader of the Zhengfa Pavilion, top real person Mi Han, stepped out of the queue:

"The minister is here."

The emperor looked at him and said, "You are in charge of the purchase of the Zhengfa Pavilion. How are you going to explain to me if such a mistake is made?"

The huge pressure was pressing down on Mi Han like a mountain!
This top real person looked pale and lowered his head and said:

"I have failed to manage the business properly and I am ashamed of your majesty's trust. I resign!"

"That's right."

The emperor accepted Mi Han's resignation without any hesitation.

So far, the three major cases have caused an Inspector General, a Chief of the Zhige Tribe, and a Deputy Chief of the Zhengfa Pavilion to lose their official positions!

There are many other officials and officials who were implicated!

Under normal circumstances, any outcome of the three major cases would be a huge change.

But now the three major cases are concentrated together, which has caused an "earthquake" in the court!
The eldest prince returned to the queue, turned his head to look at the third prince, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

Among the three major cases, he made a lot of profit from the Chengwangfu case.

However, the third prince suffered heavy losses because of the Zhengfa Pavilion case!
With one increasing and one decreasing, the gap between the two people was immediately widened.

At present, it seems that the third prince has almost lost the qualifications to continue competing for the throne!
This change is even more far-reaching than the dismissal of three cabinet officials!
"Who else has music?"

The emperor asked after dealing with Mi Han.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report!"

At the end of the queue, near the gate, He Jian, with graying temples, stood out.

The emperor said expressionlessly: "Speak."

He Jian bowed and said:
"I was the one who reported the Zhengfa Pavilion case. I believe there must be a bigger mastermind behind this case, and it must be related to someone in the royal family!"

This statement caused a commotion among the ministers.

Many people turned to look at He Jian with surprised eyes.

I just think this guy is really cool!

The emperor severely punished those buyers and dealt with a deputy pavilion master. In fact, this was already very severe and it was clear that he did not intend to investigate the matter further.

But He Jian didn't give up yet.

"Your Majesty, I also have something to say!"

At this moment, a young voice sounded.

A golden figure walked out of the queue, it was Li Fei!
He clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty has previously ordered me to investigate the Tiantan assassination case. Lord He and I have worked together to investigate the case and have found many key clues. I have even captured an important witness alive, and we are only one step away from solving the case!
But this important witness died in the Zhengfa Pavilion, and Lord He happened to discover that the Zhengfa Pavilion was reselling exotic beasts and magic tools during the investigation."

The emperor looked at Li Fei expressionlessly: "What do you want to say?"

Li Fei: "I want to say that the case of Zhengfa Pavilion should be investigated further. We will definitely find more clues, not only can we find out the mastermind behind the incident, but also solve the Tiantan assassination case!"

After he came out of seclusion, he immediately applied to enter the palace to meet the emperor.

At the beginning, the emperor spent a lot of time and effort on his affairs and gave his full support.

Now that he has solved his problem, of course he has to report to the emperor as soon as possible.

But the emperor did not see him.

In the past five days, Li Fei applied to enter the palace to meet the emperor every day, but was rejected every time.

Li Fei knew why.

When the emperor knew that he was going to follow the path of "using magic to cultivate martial arts and refining the body to make a weapon", he expressed his opposition.

But he didn't listen and insisted on taking this path that no one had ever succeeded in before.

Regardless of the results, this choice has actually betrayed the emperor's trust and attention to him.

A qualified loyal minister should not make such a choice.

But Li Fei knew from the beginning that he would never be a qualified loyal minister in the emperor's heart.

The emperor's refusal to see him was a warning to him.

Li Fei knew this very well.

Just like now he knew very well that the emperor did not want to continue investigating the Zhengfa Pavilion case, but he still chose to stand up and support He Jian.

The emperor stopped looking at Li Fei and looked at Lou Hongtao:
"Lou Qing, you are in charge of investigating the Zhengfa Pavilion case. Have you found any connection between this case and the Temple of Heaven assassination case?"

Lou Hongtao immediately said, "I haven't found out yet."

The emperor then looked at Li Fei: "Li Fei, did you hear that?"

Li Fei: "It is a fact that someone in Zhengfa Pavilion is colluding with Xintianhui, and the biggest suspect in the current Tiantan assassination case is Xintianhui, so I think that if we continue to investigate the Zhengfa Pavilion case, we will definitely gain something!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a member of the Supervisory Council stood up in the queue:
"Your Majesty, I have also participated in the investigation of the Zhengfa Pavilion case. The buyers in this case have confessed, and the evidence is solid. There is no mastermind behind it, and the New Heaven Society is not involved. I think there is no need to repeat the investigation for an uncertain guess. The Supervisory Pavilion has the time and energy, so it is better to invest it in the cases that have not yet been solved."

After he finished speaking, more officials came forward.

These people all opposed Li Fei and He Jian's proposal to continue investigating the Zhengfa Pavilion case.

After everyone had expressed their opinions, the emperor finally made the final decision:
"The case of Zhengfa Pavilion ends here."

Li Fei's expression remained unchanged.

He had actually anticipated this result.

He took the initiative to step forward just to help He Jian share the "firepower".

Just as he promised He Jian, the other party only needed to be responsible for investigating the case, and the rest would be left to him!

So far, two of the three major cases have been completely concluded.

The only case left to be settled is Gansu Province's accession to the WTO.

Li Fei and He Jian still have a chance.

"Who else has music?"

The emperor asked again.

Just when everyone thought that today's grand court meeting should be over, a figure suddenly stood up from his chair.

Ye Ze'an walked to the middle and bowed to the emperor, saying:

"I have something to say."

The emperor looked at the Prime Minister and asked, "What does the Prime Minister want to say?"

Ye Ze'an raised his head and said loudly:

"Your Majesty, the three major cases in the court today each have their own causes and consequences, but at their core, I think all three cases point to the same problem."

"Oh?"

"The imperial court's supervision of local areas is not strong enough!"

Ye Ze'an gave the answer:

“The case of Gansu’s accession to the WTO is particularly obvious and needs no further explanation.

In the case of Prince Cheng's Mansion, although the main culprits were at the feet of the emperor, they colluded with the Xintianhui and committed illegal and disorderly acts in the local area.

The same is true in the case of Zhengfa Pavilion, where the buyers are also scattered all over the place.

Although the imperial court has set up supervisory offices, supervisory general offices and supervisory departments in various places, the mobility of officials in various places is too poor, which has led to loopholes in the supervisory systems of various places. "

The emperor looked at Ye Ze'an with an unchanged expression:
"So, how do you think this matter should be resolved?"

Ye Ze'an obviously had a plan in mind, and he said it word by word:

“First, we should increase the mobility of officials from all regions, especially those in the supervisory system. It would be best if we could transfer officials between provinces every two years!

I have already written a memorial on the inter-provincial transfer of supervisory officials, including the specific transfer matters, the new inspection plan after the transfer, and other details. "

As he spoke, he took out a thick memorial from his wide sleeves.

At the emperor's glance, Feng Cheng walked down the steps, came to Ye Ze'an, took the memorial from the other's hand, then returned and handed the memorial to the emperor.

The ministers below were already in a commotion.

If this decree is implemented, it will have a huge impact on all places!

And these ministers present have intricate ties with various places.

The emperor glanced over the memorial in his hand and then put it down:
"I think the Prime Minister's memorial is good. We can discuss the specific matters later. Does the Prime Minister have any other memorials?"

"Have!"

Ye Ze'an's 'output' has not yet ended:

“After solving the problem of supervision in various places, we also need to solve the supervision of the central government over various places, so that the problem can be solved comprehensively and thoroughly.

Previously, the central government's supervision of various regions was mainly carried out through blue patrol envoys, but the court only had less than ten blue patrol envoys in total, and the supervision was too weak. "

These words caused another commotion among the ministers in the hall.

The position of Blue Patrol Envoy is too sensitive and has too much power. It is like an imperial sword, and no one would want such a sword to become sharper.

Unless the sword is in your own hand.

Now, from what Ye Ze'an said, it seems that he wants to increase the number of Blue Patrol Envoys, which makes many people feel uneasy.

However, given the authority that the Prime Minister has established, no one has stood up to oppose it yet.

"The Prime Minister wants to increase the number of Blue Patrol Envoys?"

The emperor asked.

Ye Ze'an shook his head:
"No, it is not enough to just increase the number. I think we should set up a department independent of the cabinet to patrol the country and monitor the four directions for the central government!"

These words were like a heavy bomb dropping in the hall!
Three cabinet officials resigned.

The power of the third prince was greatly reduced, which affected the competition for the crown prince.

Allow officials from local supervisory systems to be transferred across provinces.

None of these changes are as 'terrible' as the suggestion proposed by Ye Ze'an at this time!
If this decree is passed.

This is the real change of heaven!
This chapter is too difficult to write. Please give me a monthly ticket.
