The officials looked over and saw that it was Yao Lin, the Minister of the Ministry of Rites.
As everyone knew, the person involved was a professional troll, a Mad Dog in the court, who would bite whoever he caught. At the same time, they were also the founders of the court.
As expected, it didn’t disappoint this time.
Yao Lin bowed and slightly lowered his head. “I would like to impeach first assistant Wang zhenwen for ordering the former minister of rites to collude with the demons and blow up sang Bo.”
There was a slight commotion in the hall.
The officials looked at each other with strange expressions. In the past few days, Wang zhenwen had led a group of officials to block the palace gates, and his reputation had soared. He could be said to be the vanguard who had “forced the Emperor to death.”
For him to be impeached at this time, it seemed … It was a matter of course.
However, the former minister of rites was indeed a member of the Royal faction, and it was hard to say if he was instructed by chief advisor Wang.
The inside story of the Sang Bo case was that the former minister of rites had colluded with the demons to blow up the Sang Bo. The monster race’s bargaining chip was the corpse of Princess henghui and Princess Pingyang.
Through this unfortunate couple, the crimes of the Liang gang were exposed.
In essence, it was a factional dispute, with the demons acting as external aid.
Did chief advisor Wang really know nothing about this? Regarding this, only they themselves knew whether to put a question mark in their hearts or to put a full stop to it.
Following that, Yao Lin revealed a few of Wang zhenwen’s Major Crimes, such as conniving his subordinates ‘corruption and accepting bribes from them . Putting the Sang Bo case aside, Luo’s list of charges was indeed set in stone.
How could a person with clean sleeves be the chief advisor?
Who would be willing to work for you?
His Majesty was planning to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys … Everyone’s heart trembled. Although the Confucians had the Dragon slaying technique, there was still an insurmountable gap between the ruler and his subjects.
Emperor Yuan jing was not a young Emperor. On the contrary, he had been overlooking the Imperial court for half a sixty-year cycle.
Chief advisor Wang raised his head and saw Emperor Yuan jing looking at him coldly. He no longer hesitated and said in a deep voice, ‘”‘1 beg for bones.”
Emperor yuanjing’s eyes flashed sharply. Just as he was about to speak, the
Imperial censor Zhang xingying stepped out and bowed, ‘
“Your Majesty, chief advisor Wang is corrupt and bribed. He is a disaster to the country and the people. You must not keep him.”
Censor Zhang was Wei Yuan’s man.
Emperor Yuan jing was silent for a long time. He glanced at Wei Yuan, who was meditating, and said, ” you’re being too serious, Chief Assistant. You’ve worked hard for the Empire, and you’ve made great contributions. I trust you. The balance created by Emperor Yuan jing had now become his biggest shackle.
If it was anyone else, they could be dismissed, but chief advisor Wang couldn’t. He was the only person in the court who could keep Wei Yuan in check.
Without him, even if Emperor yuanjing supported another party to rise to power, it would not be enough to fight against Wei Yuan.
In just 15 minutes, Emperor Yuan jing, Wei Yuan, and chief Wang Fu had already finished their first round of confrontation.
Emperor Yuan jing made a small profit, suppressed the officials ‘arrogance, and intimidated the Lords. Chief advisor Wang and Wei Yuan didn’t suffer any losses either, as the topic was brought back to the city-wide massacre case of King Huai.
Your Majesty, please punish the North vanquishing Prince severely. Convict him and give the world an explanation.
Finally, Wei Yuan stepped out.
The others immediately agreed, but this time, Emperor Yuan jing glanced around and found that a small number of people had not moved.
The corners of his mouth curled up without a trace. After all, interests were the most important thing in the Imperial court, and his own interests were above all else. Killing the chicken to warn the monkeys just now was already a good deal if he could scare those few people.
“Your Majesty, I feel that the case of Chuzhou should be considered at length.
We can’t convict King Huai blindly.”
The first voice of opposition appeared.
The speaker was the Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong.
Emperor Yuan jing frowned and asked, “”Why do you say that, Minister Yuan?”
Yuan Xiong suddenly got excited and shouted, “”King Huai is His Majesty’s younger brother and the Prince of Da Feng. This matter concerns the face of the imperial family and his Majesty. How can we make a conclusion so easily?”
Shameless!
The Civil officials cursed in their hearts.
He had used the imperial examination fraud case to accuse Wei Yuan of offending the Grand Secretary of the eastern Pavilion. After the imperial examination, the Grand Secretary of the eastern Pavilion joined forces with Wei Yuan to impeach Yuan Xiong.
In the end, it was his Majesty who protected the banner and fined his salary for three months.
Now, as expected, he had become the emperor’s knife, helping him fight back against the entire civil officials.
“Your Majesty, what the Imperial censor said makes sense …”
