Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1240 Losing the Official Position
Qin Zongliang heard this and looked away from the birdcage, smiling:
"The normal method is indeed difficult. But... everything depends on human effort. The Lin family only has a reputation but no real power. It is not difficult to deal with such a noble and ignorant woman."

As they were talking, Xue Ren asked for a meeting and mentioned that Earl Hong'an was going to bring the twins back home to hold a full-month banquet and officially give Menglian and her son a status. At this moment, Earl Hong'an's wife and Zhu Dianhua were having a big fight with Earl Hong'an.

Qin Zongliang smiled even more, his half-closed eyes revealing satisfaction:

"Send the news that Menglian's house was settled by the King of Jin to Zhu Dianhua without leaving a trace. Oh, and give him a little more information. Menglian's child may not be a hint from Earl Hong'an."

After Xue Ren left, the prince asked in confusion:

"Why should we tell Zhu Dianhua about the child's background? If Lord Hong'an knew about it, wouldn't it be a waste of time?"

Qin Zongliang spoke in a gentle tone, with the pride of manipulating others:
"I have done a clean job on this matter. All the evidence has been erased. There is no evidence to prove the crime. Lord Hongan cannot find any clues.

How can a man, especially an elderly man whose only son is disabled and has no descendants, believe such unfounded accusations when he wants to prove that he is still strong and has a successor? "

The prince thought deeply for a moment and nodded:
"Indeed. If someone else said this, Earl Hong'an might have thought too much about it. Zhu Dianhua would like to kill Menglian and her son, but Earl Hong'an would just take it as slander."

After saying this, a new gloomy look appeared between the prince's brows:
"Ordinary families still pay attention to having offspring, let alone the rich and powerful and the royal family. Not having offspring is always criticized. Damn the second son, he is so vicious at that age."

Some time ago, the Queen Mother suddenly started rewarding medicated food, saying that she was not feeling well and asked the royal family to pay attention to their health. After a careful examination of the herbs in the food, it was found that they were used to remove cold poison.

Qin Zongliang: "The medicinal food sent to the Eastern Palace is enough to prove that the Queen Mother and His Majesty have already followed the rumors of the cold poison and found out that His Highness was plotted against. Secretly taking care of His Highness's health also proves that they value His Highness. Although it has not been found out whether the medicinal food sent to the Jinwang Mansion and the Qinwang Mansion contains the same medicinal materials as the Eastern Palace, among the several princes, only the Jinwang has an heir, so he will inevitably be suspected.

The origin of his child is unknown. He will arrange for someone to spread the rumors about Zhou Yuexue and Han Du in private, and reveal the child's origins when the child is born. With the evidence of the rumors, your majesty's court officials and the people will see clearly that he is confusing the royal heirs and using other people's children to seize the throne."

After discussing the issue of offspring, the prince took out the list of officials implicated by the Minister of Personnel and discussed with Qin Zongliang which ones could be saved and which ones should be eliminated.

When they saw the names of Minister Liu of the Ministry of Revenue and his son, the two looked at each other, and Qin Zongliang raised his hand to cross out their names.

Although the King of Qi has no move to seize the throne, he is a prince after all, and now he is married to the Lin family. The Lin family and the Gu family and the Liu family are all in-laws. The position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not low, and he has real power that must be guarded against. It is better to get rid of him if possible.

Not only Qin Zongliang and the prince thought so, but the Qin Palace and Jin Palace, who received the list, also had the same idea.

Many years ago, after the former Minister of Personnel Shen Yunda's property was searched for selling official positions and titles, the Liu family father and son were reprimanded for being involved in the case and had difficulty in getting promoted for many years.

Although he has been cautious and careful for so many years, he is still in the court and cannot avoid some involvement with the Ministry of Personnel.

Although Minister Liu was slightly involved in Minister Sun's case, he did not commit a serious fault and had been lucky enough to think that he would be reprimanded at most. However, he did not expect that under the manipulation of the prince and his two companions, he would lose his official hat and fainted without even being able to catch his breath.
