"Do you think this will calm the situation down?"
After hearing Du Jian's suggestion from the Director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, Chen Zi'ang smiled and shook his head.
"If we were under pressure to withdraw the Jinyiwei inspection team sent to various departments, we would be passive." Chen Ziang explained.
"Your Majesty, the root of these rumors is that the imperial court has sent Jinyiwei inspection teams to various places. Once we withdraw, they will have no basis for spreading rumors. How can we fall into a passive position?" Du Jian didn't think about it for a while.
"If we withdrew the Jinyiwei inspection team, wouldn't it appear that we have a guilty conscience, and then we will further testify to the authenticity of the rumors, which will virtually separate many local officials and border generals from the imperial court."
After Du Jian heard Chen Ziang's explanation, he couldn't help but frowned, thinking that what Chen Ziang said was also reasonable.
Rumors are flying all over the sky now. If they really withdraw the inspection team, it will give people the illusion of being guilty.
Chen Ziang said resolutely: "So not only can we not withdraw the Jinyiwei inspection team, but we must withstand the pressure and continue to thoroughly investigate those corrupt officials, those who dereliction of duty and bully the people!"
"But in this way, the rumors will become more and more fierce. It is estimated that many people will do wrong things because of this."
What Du Jian said was very cryptic, that is, he was worried that some generals with heavy troops would make a big mistake because of the influence of rumors.
"Isn't it easier to see a person clearly in front of such big issues?" Chen Ziang said with a smile.
"Your Majesty is wise."
After being taken aback for a moment, Du Jian immediately understood Chen Ziang's intentions.
Now that some people are making rumors that the imperial court is going to deal with the imperial court officials and important border generals, they are instigating these people to rise up against the imperial court and want to bring down the Far Eastern Empire.
Chen Ziang also wanted to take the opportunity to see who would jump out against the imperial court irresistibly, and remove some unstable factors by the way.
Chen Zi'ang's move was calculated. Although it would cause some turmoil in the Far East Empire in a short period of time, it would not have much impact on those who believed in the court and were loyal to the court.
He also wanted to take a look, when the Far East Empire was in chaos, to see who was the clown.
"All the ministries of the imperial court, the local provincial legions, and some important people should also pay close attention to me. If there is any change, report it as soon as possible." Chen Ziang instructed Du Jian.
"The minister obeys the order!"
Du Jian has now understood Chen Ziang's intentions, so he is not worried about the intensifying crisis of public opinion.
After all, crisis is the coexistence of danger and opportunity. Now the court of the Far East Empire seems to be facing great pressure, but Chen Ziang turned a bad thing into a good thing, taking advantage of the opportunity to test the loyalty of the civil and military officials of the court.
After Du Jian, the director of the Intelligence Investigation Institute, resigned, he immediately held a secret meeting within the Intelligence Investigation Institute, and began to deploy and increase the surveillance of various places.
? On the second day after Du Jian asked to see Chen Ziang, Qin An, the chief of the Ministry of Officials, and Song Zhi, the chief of the Ministry of Industry, asked to see Chen Ziang again, and reported on the Jinyiwei inspection team and the rumors.
"Don't pay attention to this matter. If someone makes rumors, let them make rumors. Time will prove everything. As important ministers of the empire, you can't let yourself get confused." Chen Ziang comforted the two court officials.
Both Qin An and Song Zhi were officials of the former dynasty, and now occupying high positions in the Far East Empire, they are actually walking on thin ice.
Especially now that they saw Chen Ziang's wanton supervision of corrupt officials, they were also worried that, as rumored, Chen Ziang would take the opportunity to deal with them, former court officials.
After they learned that Chen Ziang had a secret talk with Du Jian, they couldn't sit still anymore, and came over to find out the news.
"After you go back, you must hurry up and complete various tasks. Although the provinces of the empire have recovered to a certain extent, the surrounding countries are also ready to move. The enemy will never die. We must become stronger as soon as possible." Chen Ziang told the two. people ordered.
"The minister obeys the order."
After the two looked at each other, they quickly said goodbye and left.
"Old Qin, what do you mean Your Majesty?"
After Qin An and Song Zhi left the hall, Song Zhi looked around and asked Qin An in a low voice.
"Didn't Your Majesty make it very clear, let us ignore the rumors and just do things well." Qin An stopped and said.
"But there is a lot of commotion outside.? Said that His Majesty wants to deal with us former officials"
"Your Majesty just said that the enemy will never die, so we can't mess up our position."
"But what if His Majesty really wants to deal with us?"
Seeing Song Zhi with a worried face, Qin An said: "If your majesty wants to deal with us, why bother to go to such lengths, just let Jin Yiwei come to the door to dismiss us and investigate. Why summon us?"
"That's true. If you want to inflict crimes, there is no excuse. If Your Majesty wants to deal with us, he won't waste so much time." Song Zhi also recalled it.
They didn't know the situation before, but after hearing the rumors flying all over the sky, they were also uneasy, and even had a strong sense of crisis.
Now after meeting Chen Ziang in person, the hearts of both of them instantly settled down.
Based on their understanding of Chen Zi'ang's personality, although Chen Zi'ang was ruthless towards his enemies, he was relatively lenient towards his own people as long as they did not violate the bottom line.
"Okay, let's go back and work hard for the court, and we must not disappoint His Majesty's trust." Qin An said.
Song Zhi, the chief of the Ministry of Industry, also nodded in agreement, and the two relaxed completely, talking and laughing as they left the palace.
Song Zhi and Qin An, as the important ministers of the empire, they can still meet the emperor directly in the face of rumors, in order to test the emperor's attitude.
However, some court officials far away in the border areas do not have so many channels to understand the most real situation.
Rumors have spread throughout the provinces of the Far East Empire, and the version of the rumors is constantly changing.
In the face of numerous rumors, departments and armies at all levels in the Far East have been more or less affected.
Among them, Liu Yidao, the commander of the Seventh Army stationed in the Lingnan area, Hu Ziyang, the commander of the Fourth Army stationed in the Hezhong Province, and Wang Cheng, the commander of the Fifth Army stationed in Baimaguan in the Eastern Province, were the most depressed.
Although Liu Yidao also came from the Qinghe army system, he is not a direct descendant of Chen Ziang, but a member of the old commander Chen Ru.
If Chen Ziang wanted to suppress the meritorious old general, a man with a heavy hand like him would definitely not be spared.
Hu Ziyang, the head of the Fourth Army, used to be the general of the imperial guards in the previous dynasty, and Wang Cheng was also the general of the southern army in the previous dynasty. Compared with Liu Yidao, they are more dangerous.
They hold heavy soldiers in their hands, are far away from the court, and their identities are sensitive, so they are like being on the crater of a volcano, making them toss and turn difficult to sleep, and their mood is quite irritable.
