Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Who is Mighty Marquis, that is the top dignitary of the Imperial Dynasty, a wealthy family that has existed since the founding of the Imperial Dynasty.
The first generation of Mighty Marquis was a great hero who followed Emperor Taizu along the great rivers and mountains. It is precisely because of this that after the founding of the country, Emperor Taizu canonized him as Mighty Marquis, and hereditary succession has been passed down to this day.
But now His Majesty has arrested Wei Wuhou's whole family, even the maidservant.
More importantly, the mighty marquis has a high prestige in the army, especially the mighty army, which is the direct army of the mighty marquis' mansion.
Every chief general is a contemporary mighty Marquis, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the private army of the mighty Marquis.
If the Mighty Marquis is really activated, then the 100,000 Mighty Army is probably going to rebel.
Everyone quickly figured this out, and several ministers looked at the prime minister and said.
"My lord prime minister, you must not stand by and watch this time. If His Majesty really acts mighty, the 100,000 mighty troops will definitely riot. This will definitely shake the foundation of the country."
Although the Mighty Army is not considered the most elite army in the Imperial Dynasty, it is still one of the main forces. Moreover, once a 100,000 army riots, the consequences will be disastrous.
Hearing this, the prime minister did not refuse this time, but fell into deep thought.
It never occurred to him that Lu Ze would be so mighty.
I do have some guesses in my heart, but if it's just based on this, it's too exaggerated.
The eldest lady of Weiwuhou's mansion has a marriage contract with the second prince, and it is said that Rong Yun and Mrs. Weiwuhou made the marriage contract in person.
The wedding date has been set, but they haven't really married yet, so they can be regarded as quasi-in-laws.
This may be the reason why His Majesty attacked Wei Wuhou, but if it was just because of this that he wanted to attack Wei Wuhou, then the prime minister felt that this reason was too far-fetched.
Just because Wei Wuhou had a marriage contract with the second prince, so it is assumed that Wei Wuhou's mansion is a member of the second prince's family"?
Moreover, at the moment, the person was directly taken to the Huangcheng Division Prison. From the Prime Minister's point of view, His Majesty obviously wanted to deal with all the people in the mighty Marquis Mansion directly in the Huangcheng Division Prison as before.
After pondering for a long time, the prime minister finally spoke.
"The old man will enter the palace now."
"Shan, now you are the only one who can persuade His Majesty."
Just as he was talking, the old butler walked in again, his face still anxious, seeing this, the prime minister asked him to speak directly.
"What's the matter, just say it directly."
Anyway, everyone at the scene knew about Wei Wuhou, so there was no need to cover it up.
Hearing this, the old butler hesitated for a moment, then faltered and said.
"Just now, Master Taifu personally led the Shenxiu army to the mighty army camp."
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned again.
The Shenxiu Army, one of the three elite armies of the Emperor Tian Dynasty, was not weaker than King Qi's Northern Qi Army in the slightest.
But right now, Taifu personally led the Shenxiu army to the mighty army camp.
Combined with the arrest of the family of the mighty Marquis Manor before, everyone immediately realized what His Majesty wanted to do.
This is something that even the Mighty Army is unwilling to let go, even a hundred thousand Mighty Army will be wiped out in one go.
Obviously, His Majesty did not act impulsively, but had been prepared for a long time, and must have thought it through carefully, otherwise it would be impossible to make such a choice.
For a moment, the prime minister who had just got up sat back on the chair.
If that was the case, he knew very well that even if he came forward, it would probably be impossible to change His Majesty's decision, and he might not even be able to meet him face to face.
The others were also panicked, and their eyes all fell on the prime minister.
"Master Prime Minister, this......"
"It's irreversible. The Mighty Marquis Mansion is completely ruined. No one can save them. The Taifu is also on His Majesty's side."
If the prime minister and the Tai Tuo came forward to persuade at the same time, there might be a glimmer of hope for the mighty Hou family, but right now, since the Tai Tuo can personally lead troops to destroy the mighty army, it proves that the Tai Tuo is on His Majesty's side.
Moreover, His Majesty must have talked about this matter with the Taifu long ago. In this way, the chances of two top ministers, one civil and one military, one supporting His Majesty and the other trying to persuade him, are too small.

Hearing this, everyone above also understood this truth, and they all sighed.
But the prime minister looked in the direction of the palace, somewhat puzzled why His Majesty had to do so thoroughly this time.
Could it be that everyone who has anything to do with the second prince must be killed?
In this way, there would be too many people killed.
In the imperial palace, Lu Ze sat in the Nuan Pavilion, listening to the report from the commander of the Imperial City Department below.
"Your Majesty, the Weiwuhou family has all been arrested, and a letter contacting Concubine Rong was found among them."
As he said that, the commander of the Imperial City Division presented the letters he had found in the Weiwuhou Mansion.
Looking at the content above, although he had expected it long ago, Lu Ze's face was still pale, and the killing intent in his eyes couldn't be restrained at all.
"Okay, what a loyal Lord Hou."
There are many contents in the letter, but basically it is how Concubine Rong wins over the mighty Marquis.
It was normal at first, but later on, after Concubine Rong promised a lot of benefits, Marquis Hou indeed fell to her side.
He clearly expressed his willingness to support the second prince's ascension to the throne and succession to the throne.
Originally, this was fine. After all, in this battle for the Crown Prince, it was normal for the mighty Marquis to choose to stand in line without knowing the inside story. At most, he could only talk about stupidity and didn't know what Lu Ze meant.
But in the end, after the mighty Marquis knew that the second prince was not Lu Ze's own, but the son of the fire, he still chose to support him.
This completely touched Lu Ze's bottom line.
If Wei Wuhou was still loyal to the country before, then at this moment, he is loyal to Rong Lie and his sisters.
And compared to other people, Mighty Hou hides deeper and is more threatening, it can be said to be Rong Yun's trump card.
On the surface, it seems that there is no connection with Rong Yun's mother and son, but in fact, the entire mighty army has been secretly controlled by Rong Yun's mother and son many years ago, and this is also the most powerful force in their hands.
The one hundred thousand mighty army is quietly controlled by that bitch, and the role of the mighty marquis is self-evident.
What's even more outrageous is that this mighty Marquis and Rong Yun actually have a shady relationship, and the two have had private meetings more than once.
In Rong Yun's letter to Wei Wuhou, he stated that this was a reward for Wei Wuhou.
Looking at the letters in his hand, Lu Ze's face was so gloomy that water dripped out, and he gritted his teeth and said to the commander of the Imperial City Secretary below.
"Go, let him die, let his whole family die, and use the most cruel means of your Imperial City Secretary to kill him for me. I will let him experience all the tortures of your Imperial City Secretary."
Looking at Lu Ze, whose eyes were red and his face was a bit ferocious, the commander of the imperial city was shocked. He didn't know what happened, why His Majesty suddenly did this, but he still nodded respectfully.
"Yes, the humble post takes orders."
