    The people of the Hanhai Dynasty secretly spread a series of rumors, saying that the emperor of the Far East Empire, Chen Ziang, wanted to use the name of punishing corruption to get rid of those meritorious ministers, so as to eliminate the threat to his dominance.

    These rumors secretly concocted by the second prince of Hanhai can be said to have a nose and eyes. The rumors say that the first ones Chen Ziang wants to get rid of are those veterans of the former court.

    These veterans are now either in high positions in the Far East Empire, or they hold heavy troops, which Chen Ziang cannot tolerate.

    In the past, the Far East Empire had just been established, and the situation in various places was quite chaotic. Chen Ziang needed to support some veteran officials from the previous dynasty to stabilize the situation.

    But now that the Far East Empire has stabilized, the high positions of these former court officials are a threat, so Chen Ziang decided to get rid of them and let his direct line take the position.

    Rumors were also circulating that Chen Ziang's second batch of opponents would be those who were not directly related to the meritorious ministers.

    These people are now holding important positions in the Far East Empire, such as Yu Shun, chief executive of Hexi Province, and others.

    They used to not belong to the Qinghe army system, they were just the identity of the rebel army.

    In order to get the rebels from all walks of life to support him, Chen Ziang let the generals of the rebels take important positions.

    Now Chen Ziang wants to use the name of punishing corruption to take down these rebel generals one by one, and replace them with people he trusts.

    Facing the overwhelming rumors, the Far East Empire was also in turmoil for a while, especially those generals who had been officials in the previous dynasty or were not from the Qinghe Army system. Everyone was in danger.

    After all, it is related to their own wealth and life, so everyone also dealt with it with a mentality that they would rather believe in what they have than believe in nothing.

    "I think the imperial court is coming for us, we can't just wait for death like this!"

    "If the people from Jinyiwei find out that we are on the head, the things we have done will all be headed to the ground."

    Some corrupt officials conspired: "Since the rumors are spreading, we simply don't do anything, take the opportunity to make the matter as big as possible, so that the court can't end it, and finally stop the supervision."

    ? I heard that the imperial court has dispatched a Jinyiwei inspection team to inspect corruption in various legions. Some corrupt officials are also in a state of panic all day long, and are even ready to run away.

    But now they suddenly saw rumors all over the sky that Chen Ziang wanted to take the opportunity to attack the meritorious officials. They thought this was an excellent opportunity to divert the court's attention.

    Therefore, instead of stopping the rumors spreading everywhere, the corrupt officials began to secretly fuel the flames.

    "Commander Wang Chengjun has made great contributions to the establishment of the empire, but now the imperial court wants to get rid of him. It's like crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"

    "If I were the commander of Wang Chengjun, how can I bear this anger, and I will directly reverse!"

    "There are traitors in the court, they are trying to murder Zhongliang!"

    ? Those corrupt officials were worried that the Jinyiwei inspector had found their head, so they followed the rumors closely to divert the attention of all parties.

    ?The original purpose of the imperial court was to directly supervise corrupt officials, and there was no other meaning.

    However, after the secret planning of the Hanhai Dynasty, coupled with the help of some corrupt officials in the Far East Empire, the rumors spread more and more outrageous.

    In particular, some corrupt officials secretly ordered some people who did not know the truth to besiege the inspection team of Jinyiwei, slandering them as lackeys and hawks who help the evildoers.

    Seeing the people go to besiege the inspection team of Jinyiwei, the local chief executive and military chief turned a blind eye, showing no intention of interfering.

    They also know that someone secretly instigated, but they also want to test the reaction of the court through such an incident, whether the court is targeting them.

    Chen Ziang is determined to punish corruption, but this has violated the interests of a considerable group of people.

    Especially after the establishment of the Far Eastern Empire, there was a shortage of officials everywhere, so a considerable number of former officials changed their robes and became officials again.

    These people didn't learn how to be good, but they inherited the corruption and embezzlement from the previous dynasty.

    Previously, the Far East Empire had no time and energy to manage these matters from top to bottom. After all, it mainly faced external threats.

    Now that the external threat has been lifted temporarily, when Chen Ziang turned around and wanted to purge Chao Gang, he encountered great resistance from these people.

    "Your Majesty, various rumors have been spreading all over the place recently, and there have been?The trend is getting worse, Weichen feels that if the rumors are not curbed immediately, there may be chaos.  "

    Du Jian, the director of the Intelligence Research Institute, is Chen Ziang's direct confidant, and he didn't pay attention to some scattered rumors from various places at first.

    But now the rumors are getting more and more outrageous, and even some local officials and border generals are skeptical, which makes him realize that the nature of the problem has changed.

    "What rumors are there all over the place?"

    Recently, except for the court meeting, Chen Ziang has left all the big and small affairs to the chiefs of the General Affairs Office, and spends most of his time with his son Chen Anmin.

    Now seeing Du Jian, the dean of the Intelligence Research Institute, personally report this incident, he also paid attention to it.

    "I dare not say anything."

    "But it's okay to say." Chen Ziang waved his hand.

    "Rumors spread that His Majesty wants to eliminate the meritorious ministers who hold a lot of power in the name of punishing corruption." Du Jian said categorically.

    "It's just nonsense!"

    After Chen Ziang heard the report, he couldn't help cursing angrily.

    "Although the General Affairs Office issued clarification notices in various newspapers and periodicals, no one believed it. Now some people even started to attack the important ministers of the court, saying that there was a traitor in the court, and asked the local generals to raise troops to eliminate the traitors." Du Jian added.

    Chen Ziang analyzed: "It seems that this matter is not simple, there must be someone behind it."

    "After a thorough investigation by our intelligence investigation institute, the rumors were originally released by Hanhai. We also arrested nearly a hundred people who spread the rumors. After interrogation, most of them were spies from Hanhai."

    Du Jian frowned and said: "It stands to reason that arresting the source of these rumors should make the rumors disappear, but now I don't know how, but the more they spread, the more outrageous they will be."

    "That's interesting."

    Hearing that the Intelligence Investigation Institute has arrested some Hanhai secret agents who spread rumors, but the rumors are still getting worse, Chen Ziang also showed a playful smile.

    "It seems that someone deliberately wanted to make things big and make the court passive." Chen Ziang analyzed.

    "As far as I know, the inspection team sent by Jin Yiwei, several locations of the inspection team have been besieged by the people." Du Jian said.

    "Your Majesty, all the reasons for this matter were caused by the Jinyiwei inspection team going to investigate. Now there is a risk of the situation getting out of control. Do you want to temporarily withdraw Jinyiwei to calm the situation?"

    Du Jian, the dean of the Intelligence Research Institute, took a look at Chen Ziang before speaking boldly.

    After all, rumors are spreading all over the place now. Although their Intelligence Investigation Institute is trying their best to quell it, it still doesn't work.

    Most of the yamen in various places are also filled with officials from the former dynasty. They are also panicked and unwilling to stand up, worried that they will be involved. Some people want to see the reaction of the court.

    As a result, although rumors are spreading everywhere, few people dare to stand up and stop the rumors.

    If the rumors are allowed to spread like this, it is estimated that many people will really believe it, and then the court will be passive by then.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
