Chapter 732
Ming Prince's Mansion.
Hu Qingyan came to the door.
This is the first time Hu Qingyan has ascended the Ming Palace since Lao Jiu ascended the throne.
The main halls of both sides were seated.
"Why are you free to climb the door of my Prince Ming Mansion today?" Mo Bai smiled and asked.
"I have been busy with official business and am still here to visit Your Highness today. I am rude." Hu Qingyan apologized.
"The state affairs are the most important!" Mo Bai responded with a smile, and then said to Ajiu who was standing beside him and serving him: "Go and tell the kitchen, Master Ge is here, add a few more dishes at noon!"
"Yes!" Ajiu knew that they were going to talk about serious matters, so he bowed to Hu Qingyan.
"How dare you take this? I..." Hu Qingyan hurriedly refused after hearing this.
"It's rare for the Master to come here, so he has to have a meal at the mansion." Mo Bai raised his hand and interrupted.
"Your Highness is so polite. Then, if I refuse, I will be disrespectful!" Hu Qingyan stood up and bowed to Ajiu: "I'm upset!"
"Sit down for a moment!" Ajiu bowed and retreated.
Only two of them were left. After politely speaking, he put down the teacup and Mo Bai said, "I guess he will not only visit you when you are here."
Hu Qingyan also looked upright and nodded, "Your Highness, I have something to do when I come here this time, so I have to discuss it with You."
"But it's okay!" Mo Bai nodded.
Hu Qingyan restrained his demeanor and said seriously: "In recent days, Your Highness has investigated military supplies. In just three or four days, he has been killed more than a hundred people in a row. Among them, as many as thirty-six people in the court, and all six ministries are involved. This matter has caused shock to the court and the country. Now the court is in panic. I wonder what Your Highness thinks?"
Mo Bai didn't speak out immediately when he heard this.
How could he not know why Hu Qingyan came to the door this time? Mo Bai was really involved in the military supplies case this time.
Although Mo Bai had no connections in the court, he was suffering a little.
But fortunately, Mo Bai has already started making moves in Beijing since many years ago.
Just like Mr. Jiangling, who was placed in the Third Prince's Mansion, this time, he really wanted to kill corrupt military supplies.
So he not only used these never-moving men, but also asked Taoist sect to assist in the investigation.
Don’t underestimate the Taoist sect. Any higher-ranking official in the capital has more or less contact with the world of cultivation.
Many secret matters are involved in the cultivation world, with the support of the Taoist sect, and Mo Bai’s own channels and Zhang Bangli’s side also provided some help this time.
It was still possible that Mo Bai found out many people in a short period of time.
Originally, Mo Bai wanted to teach Hu Qingyan some lessons, so most of the people who were dealt with severely this time were from Hu Qing's party.
Seeing that Mo Bai had no intention of stopping, Hu Qingyan obviously couldn't sit still.
"The Master of the Pavilion should know my attitude. If it is something else, I will turn a blind eye and just pass it. Only with the matter of resisting the barbarians, I have never had one attitude." Mo Bai said slowly.
Hu Qingyan smiled bitterly: "I also hate those who dare to extend their hands on military supplies and cause trouble to fight against the barbarians. I just want your highness to understand. As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking small fresh people, now the state is unstable and people are different. If a major case is really launched at this time, it is probably a bigger riot."
Mo Bai said nothing when he heard this.
Seeing this, Hu Qingyan sighed and continued, "Your Highness, can you tell me that now the government and the people have their own opinions on your investigation of the case?"
"What does it mean?" Mo Bai asked.
"That's right, I heard that there is a family in Beijing recently, and there are often officials with big and small cars running to give gifts." Hu Qingyan said carefully: "There are even rumors that the family is actually the outer door of His Highness..."
"Oh, what's going on?" Mo Bai remained silent.
"I naturally believe in Your Highness's character. However, such rumors are everywhere, which will inevitably lead to misunderstandings among those who do not know the truth. Now many people in the court believe it. Some honest officials are even worried about it, fearing that they will be sent to the guillotine because they did not give gifts to Your Highness." Hu Qingyan said with a heavy expression.
Mo Bai narrowed his eyes slightly: "Which according to Ge Lao's intention, can't this case be investigated again?"
Seeing that Mo Bai's expression was wrong, Hu Qingyan felt a little nervous. He actually knew that it was best not to pull Mo Bai's hindrance in the matter of resisting mantra.
"It's not that I don't investigate, the case must be investigated, but I can't investigate it as before... I suggest that the case still needs to be tried by the Three Departments. In this way, it can not only make the purity feel at ease, but also make the devil convinced." Hu Qingyan said.
"Gei Master, I'm blunt, if the three departments can review it, I'm afraid there will be no small fish or shrimp." Mo Bai said bluntly.
"Your Highness, I understand what you said, but I still have to say that since there are various functional departments in the state, we should act according to our functions. Otherwise, in the long run, your highness will act like this, which will be unfavorable to the country! Commanding and making functional departments a decoration and affecting the normal operation of the court is not a good thing!" Hu Qingyan's face was serious and his voice was rarely heavy.
I have to say that this made Mo Bai feel a little silent.
After a while, Mo Bai said: "As the saying goes, you should use the important rules in troubled times. Master, I am not sure about the truth. Just look at it. In just a few days, the borers I found were more terrifying than the other."
As he said that, Mo Bai raised a finger: "The three major granaries in Xijiang are burned, one is burned and the other is rained, and all the military rations are gone. Should we kill them?"
"The Ministry of Works has created 26 bows with six thousand gold coins! Should I kill it?"
"One hundred and eighty cars of injured medicine were transported to northern Jiangsu, and there were less than eighty cars left! Should we kill it?"
"The Ministry of War has prepared 30,000 new troops, but in fact, the 20,000 people are vacant! Should we kill them?"
"Besides, the Ministry of Personnel in charge of the Pavilion Master, most of the local merchants serve as military commanders. They use their status as military commanders and under the protection of officers and soldiers, they pull food and supplies along the way, and when they arrive at the war zone, their carriages and horses are empty, and they use silver to bribe the army to get things done. This way, they can make a lot of money, and they can also get promoted and make money."
Speaking of this, Mo Bai suppressed his temper and looked at Hu Qingyan: "Gei Master, let me ask, with such logistics, how can you let Fang Youqun win the war? If I don't investigate such a criminal, how many days can this dynasty last?"
At this point, Hu Qingyan breathed a deep breath. He knew that Mo Bai's determination to investigate the case could not be stopped.
"What Your Highness said is that these crimes are indeed shocking, but Your Highness is a doctor. You should know that the disease is urgent and you cannot seek medical treatment indiscriminately. If this country can be revitalized by killing alone, it would be simple." Hu Qingyan sighed.
Mo Bai calmed down: "Then the old master thought, what should I do now?"
Hu Qingyan knew it was time to express his opinion. After silence, he spoke: "Your Highness, if you believe me, I will hand over this case back to the three departments. Of course, you will be the presiding, and the cabinet and military aircraft will also send people to assist you. How about it?"
Mo Bai was thinking in contemplation without saying a word.
Hu Qingyan said again: "Also, the cabinet also believes that it is necessary to make long-term plans regarding Fang Youqun's affairs. Indeed, due to many logistical issues, it is indeed difficult for the generals in front to take into account. We need to consider their strategic decisions."
Hearing this, Mo Bai raised his eyes slightly and glanced outside the door.
Ajiu's figure appeared immediately and walked in and invited the two to have a meal.
After meal.
Hu Qingyan left, Lu Xunyi and Ajiu accompanied Mo Bai back to the main hall.
"Hu Qingyan compromised." Mo Bai said slowly: "He promised to help investigate the military command case, and let's cooperate with him next."
Lu Xunyi nodded, but did not relax: "Although he promised to help investigate the military case, Fang Youqun has been put on fire now. Even if Hu Qingyan promised to help speak, it was not a solution. Fang Youqun's problem is not in the court, among the people, among the people."
"Come on step by step. The deeds of these criminals do not need to be covered up and made public directly. Although it will damage the prestige of the country, it can win some sympathy for Fang Youqun." Mo Bai said in a deep voice.
"This is probably not easy." Lu Xunyi smiled bitterly: "Hu Qingyan will not agree."
"Of course he would not agree. If all these things were made public, he, the prime minister, would have no shame to continue doing it." Ajiu nodded from the side.
"Isn't Fang Shan just a good person to spread news? Just let him spread it in the form of rumor among the people. There are heads as evidence that the people will believe it." Mo Bai said.
"That's all." Lu Xunyi nodded.
"I'll leave it to you in the middle of the capital. I'm ready to set off for the Xijiang River." Mo Bai said.
"Let's go now? Du Juan said that they are planning..." Lu Xunyi was always a little worried about Mo Bai leaving the capital and wanted to delay it.
"I know." Mo Bai nodded: "It is precisely because of this that I want to arrive in advance. If I have the chance, I can see if I can help Fang Youqun to get some chips."
"This is absolutely impossible..." When Lu Xunyi and Ajiu heard this, their faces changed drastically at almost the same time, and they opposed in unison.
How could they not hear that the so-called take-away chip is to help Fang Youqun kill the enemy, and they also have to take the enemy's heavy generals to protect Fang Youqun's life.
"Okay, I know what's going on." Mo Bai raised his hand to stop them and said again, "This trip is not just for Fang Youqun. I have to go there personally on Wu Shuai. I have to go and see what happened after so many years of preparations. It's time to see the true seal."
Lu Xunyi and Ajiu were extremely worried, but when they heard this, they immediately looked excited.
His Highness had already started preparing for today many years ago.
Over the years, the only ones exposed are the pharmaceutical business that spread all over the country.
"Your Highness, do you want to communicate with Wu Shuai first?" Lu Xunyi asked with an excited expression.
Mo Bai looked up at him: "It's better to say hello. If Wu Shuai has a strange intention, it will be the same whether he says hello or not."
Lu Xunyi pondered for a moment: "Be careful that you can drive the ten thousand years of ship. Your Highness may not be able to do it alone this time."
"Yes." Mo Bai thought for a moment: "I will arrange it."
