My father is a Confucian sage, but the system forces me to be a crude warrior

Chapter 131 Zeng Anmin: There is Only One Truth [Part ]

"The Imperial City Division is investigating the case! Clear the streets of all outsiders!"

Huang Shi, as Bai Ziqing's adjutant, stood on the street with an extremely heroic voice!

Behind him, there was an extremely handsome figure.

A row of long curly hair, each strand seems to have a silky toughness.

His long hair fell behind him like a waterfall.

Under the sunlight, it sparkles with dazzling golden light.

Bai Ziqing's face was filled with high spirits.

In the past two days, he had been hunting down Eastern Church spies and had a life-and-death battle with two Eastern Church members.

In the end, he was "seriously injured" but still prevented the spy from blowing up the dam.

Made great contribution.

Saved the lives of hundreds of millions of people in Liangjiang County.

He was officially appointed by the court as the Northern Commander of the Imperial City!

Became the youngest fourth-rank official in the world!
So, how can we not be high-spirited?
He is now twenty-two years old.

Not married yet.

It has become the dream of countless girls in Beijing.

The Bai family, a declining noble family, has now become a rising new family in the capital because of him.

Their purpose is simple.

The Secretariat!
Tobe!

Thorough investigation!

"I am here to investigate the case under the Emperor's order!!"

After the people from the Imperial City Bureau arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, a ruthless look appeared on everyone's face.

His eyes, like those of an eagle, scanned the courtyard of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

All the officials whose eyes came into contact with him lowered their heads.

Only one person held his head high.

This person is Lou Yingqi, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Bai Tidu."

Lou Yingqi bowed lightly to Bai Ziqing.

No matter how you look at it, Bai Ziqing saved his son's life.

"Minister Lou."

Bai Ziqing also returned the greeting, then waved his hand expressionlessly:

"Search!"

"Yes!"

Without any hesitation, Huang Shi walked directly into the lobby with twenty or so grapes from the Imperial City Bureau.

Start rummaging through the drawers.

After searching for a long time, I didn't find anything special.

"Minister Ren's bedroom."

Lou Yingqi gave a "kind" reminder.

Bai Ziqing gave him an admiring look, then took the two of them towards Ren Weizhi's room.

"really!!"

After entering the room, Bai Ziqing "found" an important piece of evidence in a cabinet.

Not only did it contain the military pay that had been embezzled in recent years, but it also contained "evidence" of Ren Weizhi's collusion with several officials in the court!
After searching all this, Bai Ziqing's face turned cold:
"Change the road and make it your home!"

"Yes!"

The group returned to the street and headed towards Ren Weizhi's residence.

After entering the mansion.

The people of the Imperial City ignored the obstruction of Ren Wei's family.

Start rummaging through the boxes and cabinets right away.

Hard work pays off.

Bai Ziqing "found" several more secret letters in Ren Weizhi's study!
If Zeng Anmin were here.

You must be very familiar with these secret letters.

He would definitely be surprised: "Isn't this the secret letter I found in the ancestral hall of Prince Qi's Mansion? How can he be used here?"

soon.

Bai Ziqing then withdrew his troops and submitted all the evidence in his hands to Emperor Jianhong.

In the imperial study room.

Emperor Jianhong did not say much when he saw the "evidence" found in the Ministry of Revenue.

However, after seeing those secret letters, his face turned furious!
In this secret letter, Ren Weizhi colluded with King Qi and even colluded with a woman in the court!
female……

The eldest princess was suspected because of the Liangyou Chamber of Commerce and Zeng Shilin's testimony.

With the help of the indestructible Jishui Weir standing in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no suspicion at all.

Then, among the remaining women, who could be the target of Ren Weizhi's "collusion"?

There is only one answer, harem!

The harem interferes in politics!

The weight of these four words is not even lower than Ren Weizhi's collusion with the demon clan and the Eastern Religion's spies!

Although I don’t know which concubine in the harem he is colluding with.

However, there were no more than three people in the harem who could become the targets of Ren Weizhi's collusion.

With these secret letters, Ren Weizhi was completely hopeless.

The thirteenth year of Jianhong.

April eleven.

Ren Weizhi, the then Minister of Revenue, was imprisoned by the Imperial City Prison on twelve charges including collusion with evil spirits, embezzlement of disaster relief funds, deceiving the emperor, and corruption and abuse of power.

We have all the evidence and witnesses, and we just need to choose an auspicious day to send him and his immediate family members to the road.

Ren Weizhi couldn't deny it at all.

The twelfth day of the same month.

As for the family members of Ren Wei, the female ones were sent to the Jiaofangsi, and the male ones were exiled three thousand miles away.

at the same time.

In the Ministry of Revenue, at least seven officials were imprisoned as a result of the incident.

However, their punishment was not as severe as Ren Weizhi's.

Only put the blame on individuals.

And this was only the third month that Zeng Shilin and his son had been in Beijing.

It has been less than three months since I arrived in Beijing.

King Qi was defeated.

The Minister of Revenue Ren was dismissed for this.

There are countless middle-level officials headed by the two of them, and low-level officials.

For a time, Zeng Shilin became famous in the court!

Because the downfall of King Qi and Ren Weizhi was due to their doing things that were against the will of heaven and earth.

Therefore, the people were delighted.

During this period, Zeng Shilin was even known as "Zeng Qingtian" among the people...

The scholars who came from Jiangnan also found their leader.

In just ten days.

The poems submitted by students, scholars, and officials to the Shangshu School quickly covered the desk in my father's study like snowflakes.

A petition poem is also called a petition essay.

The purpose of this type of poetry is very clear, which is to seek opportunities for advancement. By presenting poems to dignitaries, one can implicitly display one's talents and ambitions in order to seek recommendation.

My father also received it when he was the governor of Jiangnan.

But the number was obviously small, and those who submitted poems were all ordinary students who had no official position or even no talent.

But, these days.

Obviously unusual.

Not only children from poor families, but also some students from powerful families whose ancestors had glorious pasts are here.

There were even some officials who held important positions in the court.

However, Zeng Shilin only selected some young men from Jiangnan and Feng County, the Zeng family's hometown, to train.

At present, the position of Minister of Revenue in the court is vacant.

Naturally, Lou Yingqi, a minister who had served in the court for many years, finally became a mother-in-law.

With the recommendation of several officials, he successfully became the new Minister of Revenue.

But it’s not without cost.

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue who were brought down along with Ren Weizhi were also inserted by the Eunuch Party and the Li Party.

But my father was well prepared. There were a total of eight official vacancies in the Ministry of Revenue.

Two were occupied by the eunuch party, and three were taken advantage of by the Li party.

There are three left.

I left one for the eldest princess.

My father placed an official there who graduated from the Jiangnan Water Supervisor Academy.

Lou Yingqi planted one of his own.

However, this has no direct relationship with Zeng Anmin.

Shangshu No.

In Zeng Anmin's own yard.

He was lying alone in a rocking chair, with a solemn look in his eyes.

There was a secret letter in front of him.

These secret letters were sent by the eldest princess.

It contains all the information about Concubine Xi.

It began when Concubine Xi was recommended by the Ningguo Mansion to be a concubine in the selection.

Until Concubine Xi relied on the power of the Duke's Mansion to be promoted from a concubine to a noble concubine.

After being named a noble concubine by Emperor Jianhong, she happened to become pregnant with a prince.

For a time, her power in the harem was extremely great.

The emperor's favor is almost written on her face.

Afterwards, Concubine Xi began to become arrogant and started to fight openly and secretly with the current queen in the harem.

But, old ginger still gets more spicy.

The queen at that time was only a royal concubine.

Emperor Jianhong had no intention of establishing a queen.

But the queen also came from a prominent family, and the current queen's intelligence was obviously slightly higher than Concubine Xi's.

After a fight, the Queen caught Concubine Xi with evidence of "evil intentions".

He sent Concubine Xi to become a nun in Fa'an Temple.

What was quite coincidental in this event was that Concubine Xi and the Queen became pregnant with the dragon fetus one after the other.

When he saw this, Zeng Anmin smiled knowingly.

The information the princess gave herself was as follows:

The Imperial Noble Consort and the Noble Consort were both pregnant with their children.

This is a very joyous event.

In the harem, dozens of concubines and countless palace maids and eunuchs came to celebrate.

That day, the Imperial Noble Consort and the Noble Consort put aside their past grudges and had a very pleasant conversation at the banquet.

When they were in high spirits, the Imperial Noble Consort even took the hand of the Imperial Noble Consort Xi, and the two of them walked to the pond in the palace.

however.

In full view.

Concubine Xi actually had an argument with the Imperial Concubine in front of everyone.

Finally, he accidentally pushed the imperial concubine into the pool...

You have to know that the imperial concubine was pregnant at that time!

……

This kind of information can reveal clues at a glance.

Zeng Anmin didn't even bother to guess.

It must be a trap set by the current queen, who was the imperial concubine back then.

It could even be that she jumped into the water on purpose.

Concubine Xi could never have imagined that the Queen would dare to frame her so blatantly in public!

"Poor Concubine Xi. Thirteen years ago, she was just a seventeen-year-old girl, but she was framed by the Queen..."

Zeng Anmin murmured:

"But there must be someone behind Concubine Xi who is giving advice."

"She did not confront the Queen to the end, but chose to cut off her tail and survive. Under the protection of the Duke's Mansion, she took the initiative to go to the temple to become a nun."

"Because, at that time, this was the only way for her to survive. If she continued to stay in the harem, she would most likely be killed."

"even……"

Zeng Anmin's eyes sparkled with brilliance:

"In order to avoid being missed by the Imperial Concubine at the time, she took the initiative to abort the fetus in her belly in the temple..."

"Afterwards, the Imperial Consort was directly made queen thanks to the family power behind Dan, and became the current queen."

Zeng Anmin's eyes flashed with a gleam of brilliance, and he shook his head solemnly:

"wrong."

"If Concubine Xi really miscarried, then she is of no use anymore. How can she get Ren Weizhi's support?"

"Unless... the baby in his belly is still alive!"

Zeng Anmin took a deep breath.

He raised his head slowly, then frowned again.

"That's not right either."

"Even if the child is still alive, the current queen's position is already stable, and the prince's position in the East Palace is also very stable. What can Concubine Xi use to fight for it?"

"Why go to so much trouble to plan this?"

"He embezzled military funds, wanted to kill me, and wanted to overthrow my father..."

Zeng Anmin closed his eyes and tapped his fingers lightly on the table.

One reasonable guess after another began to emerge in his mind.

"If I were Concubine Xi... under what circumstances would I be so painstaking in making such a plan?"

He thought for a long time but still had no idea.

After a long time, he sighed.

"At this point, Ren Weizhi has been brought down, and no one can stop the rise of my father's 'Jiangnan Party'..."

"Why should I pursue this to the end?"

He stood up slowly and was about to go into the house.

Then a voice was heard:
"Brother Quan Fu, long time no see."

Bai Ziqing's voice is very familiar.

Zeng Anmin also raised his head and looked towards Bai Ziqing.

At this moment, Bai Ziqing looked extremely flamboyant in the night.

The familiar white clothes and the familiar handsomeness.

But in his hands...

Zeng Anmin looked over and asked curiously, "What is that thing in your hand?"

Bai Ziqing stepped down from the top of the house.

His movements are graceful, like a banished immortal.

"I do not know either."

Bai Ziqing casually threw the thing in his hand over: "When we tried to stop the Dongfang Cult from blowing up the Jishui Weir that day, we killed two small fry. I saw someone protecting this thing very well. I think it must be a treasure, so I thought of leaving it with you."

"Snapped."

Zeng Anmin took the link in his hand and looked at it carefully for a while.

"This thing doesn't look like a serious treasure."

He looked at the six white bone-like objects on the necklace in the moonlight.

A chilling aura made his hands feel a little cold.

“I think it looks pretty good.”

Bai Ziqing came and sat down opposite Zeng Anmin, crossed his arms and asked:

"Don't you like it?"

"I like it! Quan Fu is extremely happy!"

Zeng Anmin casually put the necklace into his battle preparation space, raised his head and looked at Bai Ziqing with a smile on his face:

"This is a big case. Thank you for your help, Brother Bai."

"If you hadn't stopped the Eastern Religion spy in time, my father and I would have been in prison now."

"You and I are brothers, why should we talk about thanking each other?"

Bai Ziqing was extremely satisfied with Zeng Anmin's attitude.

But he was obviously not in a very good mood at the moment.

He crossed his arms, looked Zeng Anmin up and down, and said with some resentment:
"You should have a good relationship with the prince, right?"

Ok?
Zeng Anmin looked up at Bai Ziqing blankly.

Why does Bai Ziqing look a little...sour? ?
"Where did you hear that?" Zeng Anmin wanted to laugh, he raised his eyebrows and asked Bai Ziqing.

Bai Ziqing pursed his lips, looking a little bit disgusted:
"The fact that the Crown Prince went to the Imperial College disguised as an ordinary student for you is now known throughout the capital."

Did this spread so fast?
Zeng Anmin's mouth twitched a little: "How did you know?"

"The son of Ren Weizhi, his name is Ren Xueliang, right? After he accidentally revealed his identity as the crown prince, he knelt in the East Palace for a whole day and the crown prince refused to see him."

Bai Ziqing's mouth curled up with a hint of displeasure:

"You can imagine how angry the prince is because he can't study with you."

The jealousy was too obvious.

Zeng Anmin was stunned and was about to make some excuses.

Suddenly, the body shook violently.

The pupils also contract violently.

The motives behind Concubine Xi's painstaking efforts were like lightning, dispelling all the confusion in his mind.

A bold guess emerged in his mind! !
