Chapter 234: Comments from the Three Kings, Dispositions and Transfer Orders (Final Chapter of this Volume)
"Jia Pu, Zhao Xing and others are still impeaching King Liang?" In Xi'er County, Yang An asked calmly while sitting on a chair.

"Yes, Zhao Xing, Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao, and Liao Rulong are still impeaching King Liang, posting one every day to the officials of the four ministries." Jia Pu replied.

"How is the result."

Jia Pu hesitated and said, "Except for Tan Taiming who reported the document to His Majesty, no one else paid attention. Several generals in the Liang Wang party were very dissatisfied and have sent letters to my Shenwei Army to reprimand and ask the Marquis to deal with Zhao Xing."

"But it was just an expression of attitude, and nothing happened. I heard that a few days ago, Zhang Wensong, a counselor of the Prince of Liang's Mansion, came forward and found a middleman to negotiate with Liu Tianning, and sent someone to contact Zhao Xing, seemingly wanting to turn the enemy into a friend."

"Heh." Yang An couldn't help but laugh. "Times are really different now."

Jia Pu also had a complicated expression.

At the beginning, he and Yang An only cast a dissenting vote when King Liang came to power, and were attacked crazily by the King Liang's party.

In the end, the Shenwei Army was disbanded and Yang An was dismissed from office.

Yang An was originally going to be granted the title of Marquis of Shenwei, but in the end he only ended up being Marquis of Boping County.

What Zhao Xing is doing now is even worse than before.

All the impeachment letters were sent to the son of Prince Liang, and the words used became more and more unpleasant.

The results of it?
The Liang Wang party did not make any move, only some military generals expressed their attitudes, which were insignificant.

There were actually people who tried to mediate and resolve Zhao Xing's hatred towards Liang Wang's party.

With such a comparison, Yang An almost fainted in the toilet from crying.

That's why he sighed that today is different from the past.

What's the difference?
King Liang is not as powerful as before.

One hundred years ago, Yingyuan Prefecture was more than half developed and Prince Liang came to power. At that time, Emperor Jingdi's trust in Prince Liang was at its peak. Moreover, Prince Liang also played an important role in the previous hundred years of reform. Prince Liang had tremendous power in the military, political, and legal fields.

When Yang An met Ji Mingxian, he was at the peak of his powers.

Yang An had no one to rely on and was only appreciated by the King of Han, who was already in semi-retirement. It was probably the same as Zhao Xing meeting Tian Yan.

It's different now.

As the saying goes, everything that goes up must come down. Let’s not talk about Emperor Jing’s trust for now, but at least he doesn’t need Ji Mingxian to do things that much anymore.

The Liang Wang party was also silent for a long time, and there were also new kings emerging, such as King Luohou.

Although Zhao Xing seems weak, being only a sixth-rank official, his backing is much stronger than Yang An's!
The kings behind Liu Tianning are all powerful kings, and they are at their peak. Liu Tianning himself is from a noble family, and his background is not comparable to that of Yang An.

…………

"Things are different now." In Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture, the fourth-rank censor Fan Yanlin couldn't help but sigh as he held Zhao Xing's impeachment document, and then threw it into the fire to burn.

Fan was a member of the Liang Wang Party, but the relationship was not obvious. He also had a private letter in his hand, from the Liang Wang Mansion, the content of which could be summed up in four words: ignore it.

"Sir, are you really not going to do anything about it? Zhao Xing seems to be getting more and more addicted to impeachment. If this continues, there will be more and more people with ulterior motives." A monk next to him said. "Recently, there have been more and more impeachment memorials against the prince."

"It's hard to control." Fan Yanlin said calmly. "This Zhao Xing is not Yang An, who can be controlled at will."

"His teacher Liu Tianning was very protective of his disciples. For the sake of his disciples, he almost killed Master Ji Ye. Qin Chongwen and Huangfu Song didn't even have a chance to defend themselves."

"He gained favors from a large number of powerful people in the Ten Sun Cave Heaven."

"More importantly, he has the support of the Si Nong faction led by [Shangluo College]."

"Those who can practice the Benwo Sect must at least start from the fifth rank!"

"This group of people can be said to be the backbone of the court and cannot be ignored."

"The Minister of Agriculture is in charge of logistics, finance, and military supplies. His role is far beyond the reach of a military man like Yang An." Fan Yanlin explained.

Liu Tianning had just come to power at this time. If anyone attacked Zhao Xing at this time, it would be equivalent to attacking Liu Tianning.

To attack Liu Tianning and to attack Yang An are not at the same level of struggle at all.

Yang An suppressed it easily.

Liu Tianning is not easy to deal with.

Let’s not talk about the military kingship behind Liu Tianning, let’s just talk about the Minister of Agriculture.

We finally have the hope of having a Grand Minister of Agriculture for our own faction. How can I allow you to suppress us?

Fan Yanlin could imagine that those old guys would be extremely anxious.

Bullying the honest farmers, do you still want to fight?
If this group of people quit, it would really affect King Liang's position as the commander-in-chief of the pacification campaign.

Emperor Jingdi saw this and would probably reconsider. Little brother, you can't even appease the Minister of Agriculture, so how can I send you to do anything?

So, Yang An can be bullied at will, but Liu Tianning behind Zhao Xing cannot be bullied at will.

The Liang Wang party knows clearly what is more important.

"We will burn as many memorials as we submit here," Fan Yanlin said. "We in the Censorate must not act rashly."

"Yes." The counselor nodded. The Liang Wang party occupied a lot of seats in the Censorate of various prefectures. If they ignored it, this matter would be much smaller.

…………

In the Xia Mansion, Xia Hongyi, Marquis of Yingwu, is chatting with his son.

"Lin Yun, I heard that you have been doing nothing recently and have started to make memorials like a civil servant. Is this true?"

Xia Jing smiled and said, "Father, even you know about this?"

"The Censorate really disrespects my child's opinion!"

"I have sent out fifteen impeachment documents, one a day."

"You know everything, but they haven't made any move."

"The court bestowed upon me the title of Imperial Councillor, but they think it's just for show? This is outrageous!"

Yingwu Marquis Xia Hongyi said calmly: "It's good that you have your own ideas."

"Father is wise." Xia Jing smiled.

However, Marquis Yingwu changed the subject and asked, "Then why did Lord Zhang Qing of Yingyuan Mansion say that the contents of your official document are exactly the same as those of Marquis Yuanrang Zhao Xing?"

"Ah? This..." Xia Jing said with a guilty conscience, "Marquis Yuan Rang and I are brothers, and this matter was also discussed through Qi."

Xia Hongyi took out a document from his pocket calmly, opened it and showed it to Xia Jing: "You even copied it wrong. The heading is 'Your humble servant Xia Jing bows his head, and Sir Zhang allows me to report', but at the end it becomes 'Your humble servant Zhao Xing bows his head again, and Sir Zhang allows me to report'."

Xia Jing: “…”

At this moment, the prince just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Xia Hongyi didn't say much. He had always been encouraging in his parenting style: "If you have your own ideas and opinions, it's okay to consult with King Liang."

"However, I have told you many times that a general must be able to think independently and not listen to or believe in one side. Only in this way can you seize the opportunity from a lot of complicated intelligence."

Xia Jing put away his playful smile and looked thoughtful. After a moment, Xia Jing said, "Father is right. I will rewrite the memorial and make sure it is meaningful. I will never copy the words of Yuan Ranghou again."

Xia Hongyi nodded: "It's good that you know it in your mind."

…………

"Zhao Xing, are you impeaching King Liang out of personal grudge or out of justice?" At the same time, Liu Tianning was also talking to Zhao Xing.

"Teacher, I have a personal grudge, but I am also seeking justice." Zhao Xing told the truth.

Liu Tianning thought for a moment and said, "Private grudges can be stopped, and justice must be done."

"If there is no solid evidence, there is no need to waste energy."

Zhao Xing nodded: "Yes."

Liu Tianning's words were meant to stop Zhao Xing from doing this.

But he didn't want to see Zhao Xing doing something useless.

If it's a personal grudge, it's been more than half a month, and Liang Wang's party has been so compromising, you should calm down if you are angry.

If he continued to curse like this without any real effect, he would only appear to be a fool, and Lao Liu hated fools the most.

If you want to do it, go find some evidence of Liang Wang’s party’s crimes.

Liu Tianning will not help Zhao Xing find it.

If he wants to find it, the nature of the matter will be different.

He would not just reveal a little bit, but would aim to defeat King Liang.

Liu Tianning is a man who will not attack unless he makes one. But once he does, his attack will be fatal.

This was how he killed people in his previous life. He would either not come to their door before or not.

If they come to your door, they basically want to chop off your head.

In late December, Zhao Xing and others stopped the impeachment.

Ji Chen, who had been paying attention to this matter, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"The madman Yuan Ranghou has finally calmed down."

"Sir, you are right. What I did before was indeed a bad idea. You are wise."

Zhang Wensong pondered, "Marquis Yuan Rang did not accept the benefits we sent him. There seems to be something fishy going on."

"What could be so strange?" Ji Chen said, "My father's appointment is a decree that cannot be changed. Liu Tianning's Supervisory Department has not targeted us. It must be that Marquis Yuan Rang received a warning and retreated because of the difficulty."

"He is young and full of energy. Now that we have shown our sincerity, it is time for him to calm down."

"As for not accepting gifts," Ji Chen smiled, "I'm afraid it's because he can't save face. How can he accept gifts right after impeaching someone?"

"He is still young, so he probably doesn't have such a thick skin."

Zhang Wensong nodded: "You are right, sir."

He really couldn't figure out what Zhao Xing's motive was for going against the Prince of Liang's Palace.

Currently, Zhao Xing is making great progress in gaining military merits on the front line. In order to win over Liu Tianning, the Liang Wang Party had even issued some advanced tasks suitable for Zhao Xing to perform.

It would not be good for Zhao Xing to just go against Liang Wang's party.

However, Zhang Wensong still had some doubts: Since Marquis Yuan Rang did not want any benefits, did he really just want to gain a false reputation?
It is understandable to sell integrity to gain fame, like impeaching King Liang, what a good reputation that would be.

But right now, it doesn't seem right.

If you want to impeach him, it should be time for King Liang to actually take the throne and do some things before you find fault with him.

"If it's just to gain fame, then Marquis Yuan Rang has achieved his goal." Zhang Wensong said, "I hope he stops here."

Ji Chen said calmly, "Well, if Marquis Yuan Rang still refuses to give up, he will pay the price for his youthful arrogance."

The Prince of Liang's Mansion endured it for the sake of Liu Tianning, but it couldn't endure it forever. Otherwise, if everyone came to step on it, how could they get anything done?

"Young Master should also give advice to the prince and warn the officials who come and go from the palace to restrain themselves and not cause trouble for the prince."

"What you said is true, sir. I will persuade my father and the other brothers, and hope that Old Nineteen and the others will cause less trouble."

…………

Zhao Xing has already determined that the previous military mission training was arranged by the Liang Wang party.

This kind of thing cannot be considered illegal because everything is in accordance with the procedures.

Zhao Xing also has to be able to do it himself and achieve the task requirements.

Of course, this is not just about selling good things to Zhao Xing.

When fighting in the Qinggang war zone later, there were more than 200,000 people from Long Xiao's, Liao Rulong's, and Xia Jing's troops.

There are also powerful armies such as the Tiger Dragon Army and the Black Armor Army joining forces to attack.

The person they flattered was not only Zhao Xing, but also other targets, to make it easier for the Liang Wang party to do things after coming to power.

However, it was this slight difference in time that allowed Zhao Xing to gain more military merits.

If King Liang wants to take up the post of commander-in-chief of the Pingman Camp, he cannot rely on his own Black Dragon Army alone. He has to win over the rest of the army and give them some benefits. There is no conspiracy in this matter, it is just a normal means in the officialdom.

After confirming this, Zhao Xing knew that his chances of escaping were not outrageous.

"The Liang Wang Party didn't insist on keeping me here. I'm a sixth-rank official, and it's fine if you don't appreciate my kindness, but you keep impeaching me. How can you keep pampering me like this?"

"But I should also reveal some shocking news. It is now the end of the 19th year, and next year will be the 20th year of the Jingxin calendar." Zhao Xing said to himself.

There were only 17 years left in the Jingxinli period, including several truces and the more than two years of Liang Wang's rebellion.

The mid-to-high-end war is not far away.

It took more than a year to conquer the Qinggang mining area, but time passed quickly.

"It's hard to find evidence of the Liang King's crimes, and I shouldn't have looked for him, but it's easy to find evidence of the Liang King's party's crimes."

"The business is so huge, it's a mess. You can find a lot of them if you just look around." Zhao Xing took out a floor mirror, and the list in front of him moved rapidly.

"There are also some requirements for selecting people. We need to pick people who are not high-ranking officials, but are in important positions. It is best if they are famous and can kill with one strike."

"The Transportation Department is actually a good organization, but this is within Liu Tianning's scope of work, and I can't hinder him from doing his job." Zhao Xing thought. "I can't kill a small fish and let the big fish go."

Zhao Xing simply shifted his focus away from the southern theater of war and Liu Tianning's two-government transfer authority to search for people.

The ground mirror kept sliding, and soon he locked onto a few names.

In his previous life, Mr. Zhao dealt with corrupt officials!
Because of this, he was killed by Liu Tianning many times.

It is not easy to find a good official who will be remembered by Mr. Zhao.

It's too easy to find some corrupt officials.

"It's you, General Ji Yuanqiu of the Leiyang Army."

Zhao Xing locked onto a key figure and then grinned.

"Brother, I want to be a good person in this life, so I have to let you down."

Ji Yuanqiu was the commander-in-chief of the Leiyang Army, holding an official position below the fifth rank.

South of Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture is the Southern War Zone.

Anping Prefecture, across the river to the southwest, is the Southwest War Zone.

The Leiyang Army was in the Southwest War Zone.

If it was released before, it would have nothing to do with them.

However, after Zhao Xing and his men captured the Fire Demon Clan's war zone, they were closer and could reach the Leiyang Army's defense zone by crossing a tributary of the Lancang River.

At that time, the Leiyang Army was just a secondary legion of average strength and did not even have a Dongtian base.

But in the early stages of the Pingman War, it gradually grew stronger.

Ji Yuanqiu, the commander of the Leiyang Army, was a member of the Liang Wang faction.

What did he do? He resold spoils of war, traded with the southern barbarians, forced the imperial court to scrap its warships, and then sold them at low prices to get kickbacks...

Here we must reiterate the ban in the military community, which is that spoils of war cannot be sold elsewhere and can only be exchanged from the arsenal.

The reselling of buying low and selling high can only be done by the military arsenal. Merchants are prohibited from participating.

Why did Zhao Xing know this? Because he had worked with Ji Yuanqiu in his previous life.

He also knew who this person's upstream and downstream customers were.

"Leiyang Chamber of Commerce is Ji Yuanqiu's next home, but the current president of the Chamber of Commerce is Yi Zhiwen, and he has not yet handed over the power to his son Yi Zhijie." Zhao Xing pondered.

When he did this in his previous life, the person who contacted him was Yi Zhijie, and Ji Yuanqiu was already a fourth-rank official at that time, and became more and more unscrupulous.

At this time, the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce must have been doing the same thing, the only difference was the scale.

"Ji Yuanqiu is not a high-ranking official, but if he is caught, he can be treated as an example. The military hasn't caught many smugglers."

"Most of this entire army is breaking the law, and the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce is also making a fortune from the war."

"Using this incident to attack the Liang Wang Party is enough."

"It's very easy to get evidence. Just arrest the president of the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce and we'll have everything."

"Thinking about it this way, I was not a corrupt official in my previous life. I was clearly an undercover agent! It's just that I was an undercover for a long time, so I became an official in this life." Mr. Zhao thought.

…………

Southwest War Zone, Yangjiang City.

This place was originally the city of the Fire Demon Clan. Its original name was long and difficult to pronounce. After being occupied by the Great Zhou, it was renamed Yangjiang City.

The army currently stationed in Yangjiang City is the Leiyang Army.

In Yangjiang City, in the city lord's mansion.

"After more than a year of continuous fighting, we have finally achieved results. Thank you for your hard work, brothers. Cheers!"

A sturdy man wearing a fifth-level Yuan Guang armor, holding a large bowl, shouted to the people around him.

His name is Huang Chaoyang. He is a sixth-rank captain of the Leiyang Army and a capable general of Ji Yuanqiu.

Huang Chaoyang was completely a puppet of Ji Yuanqiu. No matter how and where to fight the war, Huang Chaoyang would follow Ji Yuanqiu's command in the rear.

Why? Of course it is beneficial.

Ji Yuanqiu has a close relationship with the Black Dragon Army. The Leiyang Army follows the Black Dragon Army and it is a smooth journey for them.

For these weaker troops, even if they followed the Black Dragon Army and got some soup to drink, it would be enough to fill them up.

After drinking the first three cups, Huang Chaoyang left the banquet and no longer stayed with the soldiers. Instead, he went to a flower hall behind the city lord's mansion.

After Huang Chaoyang walked into the flower hall, the curtains around him were drawn, with some talismans hidden on them to block anyone from eavesdropping.

A more sumptuous banquet had already been set up inside, but there were only three seats.

In addition to Huang Chaoyang, there are Yi Zhiwen, the president of Leiyang Chamber of Commerce, and his son Yi Zhijie.

"General Huang, congratulations on your victory and return with a great harvest!" Yi Zhiwen and his son also put on armor.

However, the outfits they wore were rather flashy, with the tribal style of the southern barbarian army.

"Thank you, President Yi." Huang Chaoyang did not dare to be negligent and bent down to lower his cup.

Because he is Ji Yuanqiu's dog, but this person is Ji Yuanqiu's partner.

He drank it all in one gulp, and when he saw Yi Zhiwen had finished drinking as well, he nodded and sat down.

"Did everything go smoothly when President Yi came?" Huang Chaoyang asked cautiously.

"Don't worry." Yi Zhiwen nodded and said, "I'm borrowing a quota for a slave army. The next time a war breaks out, this slave army will be sacrificed."

The Nuer Army is a general term for the naturalized barbarian army.

When the Great Zhou attacked, it also took prisoners. At the beginning, Zhao Xing accepted Pang Guangyao's surrender in the name of Xia Jing at Huolong Pass.

Pang Guangyao later became a formal military general, but his treatment was just an exception.

In fact, the Great Zhou Dynasty looked down upon barbarian generals and barbarian armies, and the mainstream idea was: those who are not of our race must have different hearts.

The naturalization policy clearly stipulated that surrendered captives would be incorporated into secondary nationality and would not be considered formal Zhou citizens.

If someone has made meritorious contributions afterwards, he may be converted to a regular citizen at our discretion.

However, the conditions for the barbarian army and barbarian generals to make meritorious service are quite harsh. For a normal soldier of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if beheading a person is worth 100 military merits, then for a barbarian army and barbarian general, it is only worth 50 military merits, or even less.

If you haven't done anything meritorious, you just surrendered?
Only after two hundred years, when several generations have been nurtured and they have fully recognized the Great Zhou and considered themselves as citizens of the Great Zhou, will they be granted legitimate citizenship.

In other words, one is eligible to take the civil service exam, become an official, and be accepted as part of the dynasty of destiny.

The actual situation is that the Nuer Army is in a miserable state. There are good battles to fight, but it is not their turn to fight. The Great Zhou’s own army is not enough to share the credit, so how could it give it to the surrendering foreigners?

A difficult battle means that cannon fodder will go first and the mortality rate will be very high.

Why did Yi Zhiwen tell Huang Chaoyang not to worry?
Because he used the name of a slave army, he came and he went back.

Then next month, or soon after, the soldiers of this impersonating slave army will surely die.

It is impossible for low-ranking Nuer Army soldiers to be transformed into Yin Gods, and it is difficult to investigate.

In addition, after Huang Chaoyang captured Yangjiang City, he delayed building the temple and deliberately delayed the construction period of the temple.

In addition, the routes through which he passed were all the territories of the Liang Wang Party. From any perspective, Yi Zhiwen had unimpeded access on the battlefield, but there was no record of him ever having been on the battlefield.

He is still somewhat restrained at the moment. After all, Prince Liang has not yet come to power. He will be even more arrogant later.

After Prince Liang fell, Yi Zhiwen hid himself for a while and spent a lot of money to get out.

During the period of the two reigns, Emperor Jingdi had no interest in state affairs and was only focused on having children.

In the early years of Emperor Wu's reign, his son Yi Zhijie became even more ruthless. He not only sold goods, but also sold the foreigners in the Nuer Army.

Why did he dare to be so arrogant? Because according to convention, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he will continue his father's policies in order to stabilize people's hearts.

For example, Emperor Wen’s first reign title was Cheng’en, ​​which means “Thanks to the Grace of Emperor Taizu.”

The first reign title of Emperor Jing was Cheng'an. Thanks to Emperor Wen's governance, the country was at peace. There was also a lot of emphasis on the reign title.

The period between Dingxin and Jingxin is when the new emperor should take action.

It was originally thought that Emperor Wu would continue his father's policies unchanged.

As a result, the first reign title of Emperor Wu was "Yuan Shou", which was completely unconventional.

So Yi Zhijie and Mr. Zhao, who had been arrogant for a short time in their previous life, were both chopped to death by Old Liu.

"That's good, that's good. President Yi has thought it over carefully. There's no need for me to ask so many questions. I should be punished." Huang Chaoyang only dared to sit halfway in his seat, constantly trying to please Yi Zhiwen.

He was promoted quickly and he knew how he got there, so he didn't dare to offend this person.

He flattered for a while, and seeing that Yi Zhiwen was getting impatient, he immediately started talking about business.

"President Yi, the cargo has been loaded onto the ship and is parked in the valley outside Yangjiang City."

"General Huang is highly valued by Lord Ji, but I still have to ask one more question. Is there anything unusual in this? Have there been any mistakes?" Yi Wenjie asked.

Don't worry, the ship is a scrapped ship, and the people are slave soldiers." Huang Chaoyang whispered, "I have done it myself every time, and I dare not neglect it."

"That's good." Yi Zhiwen smiled and raised his glass again, "General Huang, you've worked hard. I toast to you."

"I dare not. Consider it a toast from me." Huang Chaoyang quickly stood up and raised the glass with both hands.

…………

The tattered-looking Red Rainbow warship was flying over the wilderness.

Yi Zhiwen stood at the bow, always on guard.

His son Yi Zhijie, however, was out with his father for the first time and seemed a little excited. He looked around the trophy cabin and then looked at the slave army on the deck.

Finally, he walked up to Yi Zhiwen and said, "Father, you are amazing. This is the Chihong warship, and it is still about 80% new. You pulled it back."

Flying warships are rare among the common people, most of them are at the flying boat level. Only large chambers of commerce and aristocratic families can afford warships.

The territory of Da Zhou is vast, and only warships can fly across states. Flying boats cannot fly that far.

Those who do business across states are basically oligarchs and aristocratic families. Ordinary people simply cannot afford to ride on them. In fact, warships do not carry people, but goods.

Yi Zhiwen looked at his son with a smile, not blaming him for being so excited for the first time. "There is nothing in this world that money can't solve. If there is, it must be because there is not enough money or the relationship is not well managed."

"Money makes the world go round. As long as you are rich enough, even the Yin spirits can help you do things."

Yi Zhijie was stunned: "Father, is it really possible? The Yin Shen system is the foundation of our dynasty."

"Why not?" Yi Zhiwen said with a smile, "The court wanted to change the Yin God system before. How many old temples collapsed and how many new temples were built? In this period of transition from the old to the new, can't we buy some convenience?"

"Besides, some Yin Gods are the ancestors of certain families. If you have money, they can even sell their ancestors."

"It turns out that I can buy anything..." Yi Zhijie muttered to himself.

"Brother Xia, can you please talk to General Xiang Kui of the Black Armor Army and ask him to transfer a defense zone here?"

Xia Jing looked at the map Zhao Xing pointed at with confusion: "What do you want to do with this corner of Luoyang Mountain? There is no village in front and no shop behind."

The area of ​​Luoyang Mountain is neither adjacent to the Southern Wilderness forces nor to the transportation routes to the rear.

Not to mention the strategic value, it has no value at all. No one would build a city there.

A little further west, there is the Leiyang Army, but in Xia Jing's eyes, the Leiyang Army is just a bunch of weaklings.

Without even a residence in the cave, how could it possibly catch the eyes of the prince?

"Farming. I'm itching to do some farming. I want to change the land to farm. Is that okay?" Zhao Xing said.

"Sure, of course." Xia Jing said, "I'll give you a word, there's no need to transfer anything, just assign it to your Shenwei Army directly."

While talking to Xia Jing, Zhao Xing's clone was still in contact with another person.

"Brother Wu Shi, do you know anyone in the City Administration of Anping Prefecture?"

"Yes, what level do you want to contact?" asked Prince Wu Zhengting.

"Higher is better."

"My uncle, Wu Qinghua, is the left official of the Anping Prefecture's City Administration Bureau, and he is a fourth-rank official. Is that enough?"

"Enough, enough." Zhao Xing said.

"What do you want my uncle to do?"

"I have discovered that there are merchants causing chaos in the war zone. If there is an order, please ask Uncle Ling to mobilize trustworthy personnel and take action immediately."

"No problem." Wu Zhengting smiled, "This is my uncle's responsibility."

……

"Brother Ji, if merchants collude with military commanders to buy and sell spoils of war on behalf of soldiers in the war zone and forcibly scrap the imperial warships, will this be handled by the local Sikou or the Bingjie?"

"The local chamber of commerce is under the jurisdiction of the Municipal Treasury, but this is against the law, so the Municipal Treasury can only seal up the assets of the bank and the ticket shop." Ji Ziyun said, "The local prosecutor is only responsible for the review. If they really want to seal up the physical assets, they need to mobilize personnel from the Inspection Department, but they have to obtain a search warrant issued by the government."

"If it is a county, it is issued by the county magistrate; if it is a prefecture, it is issued by the county governor."

"What if we are in the provincial capital?" Zhao Xing asked.

"In the prefectural capital, at most the county governor can issue official documents. How can we trouble the prefect to investigate a merchant?" Ji Ziyun said with a smile, "Unless it is an imperial merchant, then it is not the prefect's responsibility, but the Zongwang Mansion."

"Local matters belong to local areas, and merchants will naturally be dealt with by local authorities."

"The military will see whether the matter is serious or not. If there is no army stationed in the cave, it will be managed by the local military. If there is a cave, it will need to be handled by the military community."

"The specific situation depends on how serious the matter is. Usually, we don't arrest people across borders or investigate across borders. It's another matter if the matter is big. In the situation you described, what rank of military commander is involved?"

"Fifth grade." Zhao Xing said.

"If a fifth-rank commander does not have a cave station, then he should report to the Jiutian Yingyuanfu Military Department. If it involves a wide range of people and the nature of the matter is serious, the Military World Supervisory Department may also pay attention to it and even make him a king."

"Thank you, Brother Ji."

…………

Zhao Xing has many clones, and he can mobilize people almost simultaneously.

Marquis Yuan Rang now has a lot of connections, and these battles were not fought in vain. He also knows more than just Xia Jing.

After shaking people, Zhao Xing immediately led his men to the new defense zone.

He and the Tiger Dragon Army, Black Armor Army, and Lieyang Army exchanged seven new defense zones.

All of them are next to the Leiyang Army.

If we want to catch Yi Zhiwen, it would be best to catch him red-handed, so that it doesn't end up as a lengthy lawsuit.

Zhao Xing didn't know which direction the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce would take at this time.

So he sent a clone to each of the seven defense zones, and the rest depended on luck.

It would be easy if we could find him, but if we couldn't, we would have to arrest Yi Zhiwen in Anping Prefecture and conduct a surprise interrogation.

…………

From early December to late December, Zhao Xing focused on the movements of the Leiyang Army and the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce.

On January 13th of the 20th year of the Jingxin calendar, he finally found an opportunity.

On this day, Zhao Xing raided seven shabby-looking spaceships at the border of the defense zone.

Then quickly return to your own defense zone.

When he got on board and saw what was happening, he immediately laughed.

"Slave troops, scrapped ships, damn, it's still the same old trick, and it hasn't changed at all when it was passed down to his son."

"Sir, we are from the Seventh War Zone of the Pingman Corps, the Chabu Army, under the command of Sir Sean. We are not aliens." Yi Zhiwen said calmly.

He was wearing a Thousand Transformations suit and looked like a barbarian at the moment.

Yi Zhiwen also has very complete identification documents.

But before he could take it out, Zhao Xing laughed and said, "Yi Zhiwen, if you want to join the army to serve your country, why do you have to pretend to be a slave soldier and go to the battlefield?"

"You have a lot of money and you are close to some big shots, so you have a lot of ways to join the army."

Zhao Xing's Sky Eye Technique has now reached the high level ninth level. It is simply a pipe dream for Yi Zhiwen to hide it from him.

Even though his identity was revealed, Yi Zhiwen did not panic. He just said calmly, "Please ask your attendants to leave. I have something important to discuss with you."

"Oh? Tell me about it." Zhao Xing waved his hand and asked people to leave. In fact, he secretly opened the Mirage Pearl and asked someone to hide and carry a statue of the God of Justice.

"I wonder where you come from, sir? What's your official rank?" Yi Zhiwen asked. He wanted to find out more about Zhao Xing's situation before deciding on a price.

"I'm Marquis Yuan Rang, but I'm only a sixth-rank official. What price can you offer?" Zhao Xing asked.

Sixth rank? Yi Zhiwen felt relieved.

"If you put down your official post and go back, you will get 500,000 points immediately. And I guarantee that these 500,000 points are clean."

"If you want to cooperate, we can make at least two million a year!"

In fact, Yi Zhiwen could not give Zhao Xing so much, but of course he was asking for too much now. He would first stabilize Zhao Xing, then go back to inform Ji Yuanqiu and slowly investigate the situation.

"Only 500,000." Zhao Xing sneered, "Are you using this to test me?"

"It can still be discussed." Yi Zhiwen said.

At this moment, the ground mirror on Zhao Xing's body trembled. He took it out and looked at it, then he smiled.

[The assets of the merchants in Leiyang have been seized. The Inspection Department has arrested 376 key members of the Chamber of Commerce. During the surprise interrogation, the suspect has been found to be Ji Yuanqiu.]

[Heading to Ji Yuanqiu's residence. 】

【Ji Yuanqiu was arrested.】

[Ji Yuanqiu is being interrogated.]

...Messages came from all directions.

Zhao Xing was a little surprised that his allies were so efficient, but then he thought about it.

He is not the only one who wants to make Liang Wang's party unhappy.

"No need for that. You should think about how to confess honestly and reduce your guilt." Zhao Xing said calmly, "Ji Yuanqiu has been arrested."

"What?!" Yi Zhiwen's expression finally changed.

Zhao Xing waved his hand, and the invisible priest appeared, with the Yin God statue of justice above emitting a faint light.

There was also someone holding a mirage bead next to him.

"Yi Zhiwen, if you confess now, even though you have no way to survive, you can still leave a child."

"If you resist and hope that others will come to rescue you, your entire clan may be exterminated."

Yi Zhiwen's face turned pale, but he still did not give up: "Since you are a military commander, you have no right to judge me. You should let me go back to Anping Prefecture for trial."

"You don't believe it?" Zhao Xing squatted down and whispered in his ear, "You have a treasure house under the Dongzheng Street Temple in Nanjun. It contains not only stolen goods, but also account books for selling stolen goods to various generals and masters. Am I right?"

“How, how do you know…” Yi Zhiwen’s face changed drastically and his heart beat wildly.

"You wanted to secretly train your father into a Yin Spirit to avoid detection, and you would have succeeded in a few years. Fortunately, you didn't succeed, otherwise you would have confessed and your clan would have been exterminated. Now, do you want to confess?"

"I, I'll confess." Yi Zhiwen's eyes dimmed.

…………

January 17th, the 20th year of the Jingxin calendar.

It was revealed that Ji Yuanqiu and the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce were involved in corruption, smuggling, and killing of the Nuer Army.

Anping Prefecture was relatively calm, as they were just dealing with a group of businessmen who broke the law.

But this incident soon caused a sensation in the southwest battlefield.

Mainly the barbarian generals of the Nuer Army were extremely angry after hearing about Ji Yuanqiu's actions.

Because Ji Yuanqiu colluded with Yi Zhiwen, he always moved around the battlefield as a slave soldier, and when he was done with them, he would be sent to die or simply killed.

It instantly aroused their empathy.

A small chamber of commerce, in collusion with a fifth-rank general, can trample on the lower-level barbarian army at will.

If one day, will they also have such an ending?

On January 20th, many barbarian generals wrote a letter to the military requesting that Ji Yuanqiu be severely punished.

Because they heard that Ji Yuanqiu might not be executed. Firstly, Ji Yuanqiu had made great contributions in the war. Secondly, Ji Yuanqiu was once a vassal of King Liang and might be rescued by King Liang's party.

It is even possible to obtain a special pardon with royal privileges.

January 23rd.

There were more than 120,000 barbarian generals who petitioned, including countless middle-rank barbarian generals, and even included fourth-rank barbarian generals who surrendered during the Dingxin calendar period.

January 24th.

Yang Zhengwu, the only barbarian king in the military world, spoke out, accusing King Liang of not governing his subordinates strictly, which led to the Nuer Army tragedy, and pointed the finger at King Liang's party.

January 25th.

Seven kings from the military community stepped forward and quickly finalized the Ji Yuanqiu case.

All major shareholders of the Leiyang Chamber of Commerce were killed along with their entire clans.

Ji Yuanqiu was executed and his three clans were exterminated.

Xie Kuiguang, a fourth-rank military general, and Liu Junliang, a fourth-rank civil official, who had interests in him, were executed!

Among the seven fourth-rank officials who recommended Ji Yuanqiu that year, three were demoted and four were transferred.

More than 13,000 middle-level backbone generals of the Leiyang Army, including Huang Chaoyang, were beheaded, and the Leiyang Army was thus eliminated.

This case became a typical example in the early stage of the Pingman battlefield, and the severity of the handling completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Even the officials who had recommended Ji Yuanqiu and Liu Junliang long ago were punished.

The reputation of the Liang Wang party among the barbarian generals became extremely bad, which also cast a shadow on the Liang Wang's appointment as the commander-in-chief of the barbarians and the lord of four prefectures in March.

"Asshole, asshole!" Inside Prince Liang's mansion, Ji Chen was so angry that he overturned the table.

He drew the sword from his waist and split the fallen table in half.

The sword flashed with a cold light, and Ji Chen's nose was crooked with anger.

This wise young man, who was known for his courtesy and modesty, and who was entrusted by King Liang with an important task of being in charge of external liaison, was now like a mad beast.

“This is too much! This is too much!” Ji Chen swung his sword and chopped around, “Ahhhhhh——”

The violent aura raged, and the decorations and furniture in the room were completely shattered.

"Liu Tianning, Zhao Xing!!!" Ji Chen growled, "I was so polite, but you repeatedly slapped me in the face and repaid my kindness with ingratitude!"

Ji Chen was indeed angry. King Liang and his faction really gave Liu Tianning enough face.

Ji Chen, a mere sixth-rank captain of the imperial guards and a disciple of a third-class marquis, tried to please him again and again.

Back then in the Midnight Sea, when Liu Tianning was hunting dragon whales, he also helped.

But what about Liu Tianning? Is this how he responded?
When Ji Chen's arrogance subsided a little, Zhang Wensong walked in.

"Sir, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Zhao Xing and Liu Tianning. Ji Yuanqiu's actions have aroused the anger of the barbarian general. Sir, you have previously urged all parties to be more low-key, but he still does not know how to restrain himself. He has indeed gone too far."

Ji Chen did not listen to Zhang Wensong this time. He shouted, "Sir, shut up!"

Zhang Wensong was stunned.

"What's the point of breaking the law? To put it bluntly, this is just an internal struggle!" A trace of violence flashed in Ji Chen's eyes, and his nature that had been suppressed for many years was now fully revealed. "Why kill a few barbarian surrendered soldiers and execute so many fourth-rank and fifth-rank officials in the Great Zhou? Even my teacher, who has already retired, was demoted."

"It was you who made me retreat again and again, and kept admonishing my father to please Liu Tianning, causing his disciples to act recklessly and bring about today's disaster!"

Ji Chen held up his sword, his face terribly gloomy: "Sir, are you offering advice for me or for others?!"

There was a flash of disappointment in Zhang Wensong's eyes. Ji Chen's words were really hurtful.

He didn't explain anything, just knelt on the ground and bowed his head to the ground.

"Since you no longer trust me, please chop off my head to relieve your anger."

"But you must not incite factional disputes and retaliate against Liu Tianning at this time. The prince is already the most powerful minister, and all parties are jealous of him and are always looking for trouble."

"At this critical moment, you should..."

Zhang Wensong couldn't continue because Ji Chen left the room when he said the first sentence.

There were many footsteps outside the door, walking in a square step past the screen.

I could faintly hear the voice of Ji Chen gathering his advisers for a discussion.

He was completely abandoned.

…………

Although the verdict was not made by Zhao Xing, the person was arrested in Zhao Xing's defense area.

In fact, whether this defense zone belongs to Zhao Xing is another matter, because Yi Zhiwen actually went to the defense zone of the Wupan Army.

It was Zhao Xing who stretched out his tentacles from the side and forcibly tied this guy to his own defense zone. He announced to the outside world that Yi Zhiwen passed through his defense zone and then he discovered the abnormality.

But anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is definitely a target!

The defense zones have all been changed, and all government agencies are arresting people and seizing stolen goods so quickly. If this isn't targeted, then what is this?

"Even the fourth rank officials have been executed. Factional struggles are more dangerous than war."

Zhao Xing looked at the report and couldn't help but shook his head.

He only prepared one table of food, but several groups of people came.

He only caught the pig Ji Yuanqiu, but many people followed the trail to find the wild boar herd.

The subsequent result was something Zhao Xing had not expected.

However, since it has been done, Mr. Zhao is not afraid anymore.

It only involves mid-level products, so the impact is limited.

The Liang Wang party reacted quickly and quickly brought out a few old guys to take the blame.

It seemed that several fourth-grade and many fifth-grade people were killed, but in fact they were all marginal figures.

The Ji Yuanqiu case could not have brought down King Liang, otherwise he would have been overthrown a hundred years ago.

The Liang Wang party was not even seriously injured.

"It's time for me to leave now." Zhao Xing thought to himself, "I'll seize this opportunity and scold King Liang again to improve my reputation."

He expected that he would have to pay some price, and that price would not be in vain.

You have to build up your reputation.

When King Liang rebels in the future, all of my reputation will come in handy.

The turmoil caused by the Ji Yuanqiu case soon passed.

Because the war continues.

In the peaceful February, Zhao Xing's daily routine was to eat, sleep and curse King Liang.

He did not accuse King Liang of any actual crime, he just cursed him.

He cursed me in public and in private letters.

In short, Mr. Zhao now wants to portray himself as a staunch "anti-Liang party".

It seems as if Prince Liang will rebel tomorrow.

Before that, Zhao Xingze and Liu Tianning had a private conversation.

"Teacher, I was wrong." Zhao Xing said.

"What have you done wrong?" Liu Tianning asked.

"If this matter becomes a big deal, the Liang Wang party will definitely attack the teacher afterwards." Zhao Xing said.

"How do you know that I didn't do anything about it?" Liu Tianning said calmly. "You can find evidence of the Liang Wang Party's crimes, so is the Supervisory Department just there to do nothing?"

"The teacher is checking?"

Liu Tianning did not answer directly: "You are right. The power of King Liang is too great. He is already the most powerful official in the country. With such power, how can no one be watching him?"

"I really want to know what you really think. You are not an impulsive person."

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, Master, I have seen that King Liang has been in power twice. Although he has made contributions, the resentment among the lower-level soldiers is even greater. For example, Yang An, who should have been granted the title of Marquis of Wu, was suppressed by him."

"How can we win the war with such a commander? I'm afraid we will lose."

"What if we win?"

"The King of Liang has reached the highest position among the ministers. There is no more reward or title to be given. If he wins, I'm afraid..."

Zhao Xing paused and said, "Anyway, I am not happy staying in the army, and I don't want to build up my reputation for this person."

"With me here, you don't have to worry about being treated unfairly."

"I don't want to hinder you, teacher." Zhao Xing shook his head. "Please don't do anything for me, teacher. Even if the Liang Wang party wants to remove me from office, teacher, please don't do anything."

This still sounds like something spoken in anger, but it has some truth to it.

Zhao Xing was also reminding Old Liu.

Liu Tianning thought about it for a while and stopped trying to persuade him: "That's fine."

…………

In early March, King Liang was appointed commander-in-chief of the campaign to pacify the barbarians and concurrently served as governor of the state.

In peacetime, the 19 states did not have state-level government agencies, but now they do.

As Zhao Xing expected, King Liang was not affected at all.

Even in this life, the power is even greater.

"It's time to start fishing for my little brother." Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile when he saw this appointment. "The bait is also more abundant than in the last life."

Curse until April.

Zhao Xing was finally retaliated against.

April 5th.

A law enforcement ship arrived at the headquarters of the Shenwei Army.

Two fifth-rank soldiers came with a written order issued by the military department of Yingyuan Prefecture, announcing Zhao Xing's crimes:

"Zhao Xing, Marquis Yuanrang, you incited the generals in the army, insulted the prince, and confused right and wrong. You have refused to change despite repeated admonitions."

"Yuan Zhenhou Chen Shijie, Yunxiaohou Long Xiao, and Guiyinghou Liao Rulong are considered accomplices."

"From today on, you will be suspended and investigated!"

Zhao Xing was delighted when he heard the man reading the edict.

Thank you King Liang for helping me gain fame!

But on the surface, his face was gloomy: "I don't accept it, I want to appeal to the military community!"

"If you don't accept, you can return to Yangcheng and wait for the final judgment of the military world." The general in silver armor shouted, "Take him away!"

"Yes!"

Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, Zhao Xing, and Liao Rulong were immediately locked up by the law enforcement team and taken onto the ship.

As for Xia Jing?

Xia Jing is in the Xuanjia Army and is not here.

April 10th, the 20th year of the Jingxin calendar.

Zhao Xing, Chen Shijie, Long Xiao and Liao Rulong were all placed under house arrest and stayed in Yangcheng, awaiting further action.

At this time, inside the Hundred Soldiers Tower.

The new three kings have become King Xin, King An Ning, and King Rahu.

Prince Xin Liu Yong was the third king to come to Zhao Xing to ask for a position as a high-level scout.

At this time, he was nominally the chief officer, and his nature was the same as King Lingde, in fact he was just a decoration.

The ones who really did the work were King An Ning and King Rahu.

He still has about fifty years to live, but he was put in this position. He doesn't know whether it is a blessing or a curse.

"King Rahu, King An Ning, how should this matter be handled?" King Xin looked at King Rahu and King An Ning.

He was talking about the incident in which Zhao Xing insulted the prince.

Originally, this matter did not require a king like him to handle it, but Zhao Xing was Liu Tianning's disciple, and Liu Tianning was King Luohou's right-hand man.

It was King Luohou who protected Liu Tianning back then, and they have a close relationship.

Prince Anning Ji Anming said: "The result of the treatment by Yingyuan Prefecture is that all military merits will be lost, and he will be demoted one level and stripped of his official title, but his title and honors will remain unchanged."

A Sanguan, which is the title of a county councilor.

The Liang Wang party hated Zhao Xing's mouth.

Taking away the title of County Councillor was equivalent to shutting Zhao Xing up.

Prince Xin glanced at Prince Luohou's face and saw that he didn't say anything, so he took over Ji Anming's words and said, "I think this punishment is too much. What do you think, Prince Anning?"

King An Ning said: "It is a bit excessive. The honorary rank and official position should not be affected. Just punish the merits."

"Young people are hot-tempered, so what if they say a few more words?"

"The title of doctor is given to make people speak."

Prince Xin thought, "If I let him stay in the army, I'm afraid Ying Yuanfu will not agree."

He said he was talking about Yingyuan Prefecture, but actually he was referring to King Liang.

Prince Xin Liu Yong wanted to first determine whether Zhao Xing wanted to continue staying in the army.

However, King Rāhu has not expressed his opinion, and he feels helpless.

After all, this matter mainly depends on Luohou's opinion. He is just a figurehead.

If King Rāhu defended Zhao Xing until his death, Zhao Xing would definitely be able to stay.

To put it bluntly, this is not a big deal. The punishment for insulting the prince can be severe or minor.

The Liang Wang party did not dare to frame Zhao Xing with specific charges.

For example, deliberately giving Zhao Xing a task to make him make a mistake.

His background is the Supervision Department. How dare he do something shady under the eyes of King Luohou and Liu Tianning? He is still a little naive.

The only charge that could be found was this one, which had a relatively broad scope of application: insulting the prince.

If we look at it from a broader perspective, there are examples of executions.

To put it simply, there are many people who have scolded the prince but ended up being fine.

"Zhao Xing has won too many battles, and he is a little impatient." Ji Anming said, "He has repeatedly jumped on the nose of King Liang, which is a bit too much."

"He must be punished, but he can also be given a chance to stay in the military."

Ji Anming's words are quite pertinent.

I feel that such a talented person should not be suppressed by the Liang Wang faction.

If Zhao Xing were here, he would probably have to kneel down to Ji Anming.

I've done so much and finally found the best way to get out of this situation, and you tell me to stay?

Prince Xin Liu Yong said: "I also think the punishment is too severe, and all military achievements should not be confiscated."

"However, he is not suitable to stay in the Shenwei Army. Perhaps it would be better for him to change to another army."

Seeing that King Luohou still did not speak, King Xin could not help but ask, "Luohou, what do you think?"

King Luohou raised his eyelids slightly and said, "Zhao Xing, you can't stay in the army."

When these words were spoken, Prince Xin and Prince An Ning were both a little surprised.

King Luohou actually took the initiative to ask Zhao Xing to leave?

"He is young and full of energy, and too arrogant." King Luohou said, "If he continues to stay in the army, he may make a big mistake."

This was the conclusion King Rāhu came to after thinking for a long time.

He was not afraid of pressure from King Liang, but he felt that if he continued to keep Zhao Xing in the army, he would continue to cause trouble.

Whether it was the killing of Qian Shougang or the arrest of Yi Zhiwen this time, the means were reasonable and legal.

But if nothing happens this time, who knows what wrong thing he will do next time.

What if this guy gets unlucky one day and kills King Liang’s son?
Such good talents are ruined.

King Rāhu was somewhat traumatized by this master and disciple pair.

Back then, Liu Tianning challenged thirty-two Taoist temples in a row and killed many people during the competition. He was indeed extremely daring.

Now this disciple is like this again. We are really not from the same family and we should not join the same sect.

"Then let him become a civil servant?" asked Prince Xin.

"Yes." King Rāhu nodded.

"Will your official rank be demoted?"

"What kind of official position should be demoted?" King Luohou sneered, "He is only the King of Liang, not Your Majesty. How can you not scold your subordinates when they do something wrong?"

Prince Xin and Prince An Ning remained silent. King Luohou also had a hot temper and was still criticizing others.

"Then it is still from the sixth rank?"

"Prince Xin, you are getting old and confused, right?" King Luohou said in surprise, "Zhao Xing's military merits are now close to four million. According to the rules, he should be promoted to the fifth rank. Don't you remember it clearly?"

“……”Prince Xin was speechless. Is he talking about promotion?

Now let’s talk about disposal, big brother.

If you do this, how can King Liang agree?
King An Ning said: "Luo Hou, don't talk about the fifth rank. You want to temper his character. Now you promote him and send him to the local area. Won't he become arrogant? Isn't this contrary to your original intention?"

Ji Anming's persuasion did have some effect.

King Luohou thought: "Even if he is not the fifth rank, he should be promoted to the sixth rank, or even the sixth rank or higher."

"Zhao Xing has made many outstanding achievements and is extremely talented." Ji Anming commented. "It's not too much to be a sixth-rank official."

"Good." Prince Xin breathed a sigh of relief. Confirming the official rank finally solved a problem.

"What about the officials and honorary ranks?" This time Prince Xin had learned his lesson. He said as if he was reciting from memory, "According to the rules, Zhao Xing can be promoted to the position of Palace Counsellor and be awarded the fourth rank of honorary title."

King Luohou said: "It doesn't matter whether he is a lay official or not, but his honorary rank cannot be deducted."

"Hahaha." Ji Anming laughed, "Luo Hou, you don't give King Liang any face at all."

He didn't deduct anything but his official positions. Isn't this obviously meant to disgust King Liang?

King Luohou sneered and said, "He wants Zhao Xing to be punished for his words. Then let's fulfill his wish and let the world see the majesty and magnanimity of the commander-in-chief of Pingman."

Anyone who dares to do this to him really thinks that King Rāhu has no temper!
Ying Yuanfu handed over the results of the handling to disgust King Rāhu.

King Rāhu responded with disgust.

"Okay, let's do as King Luohou said." King Xin said, "Does King An Ning agree?"

King Rahu looked at King An Ning.

The latter smiled and said, "Don't look at me. I am now the king of Shiyang Cave Heaven. I stand on your side both publicly and privately. If he commits other crimes, I will never show mercy."

Ji Anming is not King Luohou's mouthpiece. If it were any other matter, he would definitely have his own opinion, but for this kind of matter, he doesn't care.

"Okay." Prince Xin said, "I will draft an order and send it back to Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion."

…………

"The official title and honors were not revoked but added instead. So I just removed the title of a casual official?" In Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion, Fan Yanlin was speechless.

Is this a lonely punishment?
"King Luohou, you really don't give me any face at all."

It is obvious that this disposal was the work of King Rāhu.

Prince Xin Liu Yong is just a decoration, there is no way Prince An Ning would protect him like this.

"Let's leave it to the Lord of the Mansion to decide." Fan Yanlin shook his head and reported the results of the handling.

At the same time, Lord Wang Shiyong also received the results of his punishment.

Jiutian Yingyuan Mansion is a military mansion, and he, as the lord of the mansion, is the highest military commander.

But at this time there was an additional governor, and above him there was also the King of Liang.

Wang Shiyong was not a member of the Liang Wang faction, he was neutral.

"This kind of punishment?" Wang Shiyong was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Send the punishment results to the palace."

He also doesn't plan to stick to the pan.

…………

In Prince Liang's mansion, Ji Chen almost exploded with anger after reading the result of the handling.

"This is outrageous! King Luohou's behavior is simply a blatant cover-up!"

Ji Chen was a complete double standard dog at this time. When he punished, he didn't think about whether the punishment from the palace was too much.

"Give it to the Lord of the Mansion, present it to the military community, and then play it!"

Ji Chen shouted.

…………

Yingyuan Prefecture quickly submitted the new handling results.

In less than an hour, they were beaten back.

The result is still the same.

It was a seesaw back and forth.

After a few days, Ji Chen was also exhausted.

"Sir, this matter should be done as soon as possible," an adviser advised.

If the three kings do not approve this matter, the stalemate will remain.

The longer things drag on, the more embarrassed King Liang will be.

If he can't even handle a small sixth-rank official, then what else is there to say? Who will come to King Liang?

"Forget it, I'll go ask my father for his opinion." Ji Chen was undecided and went to find Ji Mingxian with the result of the handling.

At this time, Prince Liang was sitting in the [Military Affairs Hall].

"Wow~"

Around him, countless official documents floated out from the flames and piled up on Ji Mingxian's desk.

He handled it so quickly that his body left an afterimage, and it seemed as if there were a dozen Ji Mingxians in the room.

"Father, I have something to report." Ji Chen said respectfully, standing at the door of the Military Affairs Hall.

"Speak." King Liang's voice came from inside, but his actions did not stop.

"King Rahu repeatedly rejected my request to punish the four members of the Divine Power Army. My advisers urged me to resolve the matter quickly, but I thought the punishment was too light and would damage my father's reputation."

"Your son has come to ask for your father's advice."

wow~
The processing documents flew into the hands of Liang Wang Ji Mingxian.

After he finished reading it, he smiled softly.

"I didn't know you had such foolish filial piety."

Ji Chen felt a chill in his heart when he heard this.

He knelt down with a thud and said, "I know I was wrong."

"From today on, you don't have to worry about these things anymore. Just follow your brother to the battlefield."

"Yes." Ji Chen trembled and crawled back out.

Ji Mingxian looked at the document in his hand, threw it into the furnace, and sent it to the Hundred Soldiers Tower where the three kings of the military world were.

He immediately accepted this outcome.

Because at this time, King Liang didn't take such a trivial matter to heart at all.

His heart is in the world!

…………

On March 17th, the results of the three kings were announced by the Jiutian Yingyuanfu Military Department.

The Liang Wang party raised the butcher knife high, but then put it down gently, which caused a lot of discussion.

In the military world, the three kings were discussing Zhao Xing's whereabouts.

Of course, it mainly depends on King Rahu's opinion.

"He is arrogant and proud. Even if he is a civil servant, he may not be able to be accommodated in a small place."

"Just let him go to the sea." King Rāhu said calmly.

"Which sea?" asked Prince Xin.

"East China Sea."

"What is the position of the East Sea?" King An Ning asked, "The aquatic creatures in the East Sea are also restless."

"How about letting him raise sea beasts?" Prince Xin said, "Raising beasts requires patience, and it will take more than a year or two to see results. There is no room for him to cause trouble."

"Good idea." King An Ning said.

"I think it's feasible."

King Rahu nodded.

After a pause, King Luohou said, "Raising animals on an island is not a one-day job. He has been away from home for too long, so let him return home first."

"You really think it through." King An Ning teased, "If you don't know, you would think Zhao Xing is your Luohou's grandson."

"Ha ha ha ha."

…………

The 20th year of the Jingxin calendar, summer, May 24th.

Zhao Xing, who was imprisoned in Yangcheng Prison, was finally released.

Also released together were Long Xiao, Chen Shijie and Liao Rulong.

As soon as he was released, he received the results of the handling from Jiutian Yingyuan Prefecture and the transfer order from the military.

Zhao Xing took it and looked at it, and immediately smiled.

"Directly assigned to the East China Sea? This saves me from having to be transferred. Oh, and you gave me a half-year vacation?"

"Huh, it's time to go home. It's been four years."

　Fifteen thousand three hundred words. Tomorrow Zhao Xing will go to the sea to raise animals and return to farming. This book will also begin to write about some magical plants and magical animals.

　　Zhao Xing will complete the development of pure Yuan soil in the next volume.

　　The content of the Jingdi period will mainly end in the next volume or two, and the protagonist will also meet the young Emperor Wu... I won’t spoil the details.

　　Finally, in view of the powerful updates, please don’t forget to vote for the monthly ticket~
