Chapter 553 (1/2)
553 Blocking the ministers alone (3)
“Do you all want Emperor Wen zu’s helplessness to repeat itself?”
Emperor Yuan jing squinted his eyes. He no longer looked indifferent, but turned into a King with great power.
Amazing!
Minister sun and the chief of the Supreme Court raised the corners of their lips. This sneaky idea was wondrously used. It was as if a line had been drawn in the Imperial court. On one side was a scholar from the Imperial College, and on the other side was Yun Lu Academy.
How should one choose in the battle for the orthodoxy?
If there were any more civil officials who wanted to speak up for Xu New Year, they would have to consider their own position. They would have to consider if their words would cause them to turn their backs on the court and the officials.
Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong, almost laughed out loud. This way, Wei Yuan had no choice but to step down. There were some things that scholars couldn’t say. But he, the leader of the eunuch’s party, could, because he was not a scholar from the imperial examination.
What would Chief Assistant Wang do if Wei Yuan left the stage? How would the rest of the neutral officials react?
Dragging Wei Yuan into the water, then using the power to defeat him, making him compromise and give in to the Imperial Censorate’s control, this was the Imperial censor of the left’s recent important plan.
“Hmph!”
Hmph! at this time, a cold snort filled with monstrous anger sounded in the hall.
Everyone turned their heads to the voice. It was the invisible Prince of honor. This Prince wearing a dark yellow Dragon robe stepped out. His face was ashen, his hair was white, and the crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes were deep. He looked extremely old.
Seeing him step out, the heart of Vice Minister of War Qin Yuandao, who had just been emotional, suddenly sank.
“200 years ago, this Prince had never heard of any scholars from Yun Lu Academy doing anything to harm the princess. Is this the so-called loyalty to the monarch and love the country that you Imperial Censorate scholars claim?”
“Hypocrite!” King Yu shouted.
Then, he faced Emperor yuanjing and bowed, “”Your Majesty, I don’t care about the truth of the imperial examination fraud case. I just feel that the officials of the Ministry of Justice are useless and incompetent.
“If they knew how to handle cases, my poor Ping Yang wouldn’t have died from injustice. If it wasn’t for the night watchman, Yin Gong, Xu Qi ‘an, who thoroughly investigated the case, I’m afraid that the injustice would still not have been redressed today.
“The imperial examination fraud case is of great importance. I hope that Your Majesty can re-examine the case and let the three departments judge it together with the watchman.”
Emperor Yuan jing frowned and hesitated.
“Your Majesty, my poor Ping Yang …” King Yu immediately cried.
Shameless!
Minister sun, the chief of the Supreme Court, the Imperial Censorate of the left, the assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and the others ‘expressions changed. The case of the princess of Ping Yang was a thorn between the Civil officials and Emperor Yuan jing.
The assistant Minister of the Ministry of War told Emperor Yuan jing that the scholars of Yun Lu Academy were beyond his control. And now, King Yu was telling Emperor Yuan jing that the scholars of the Imperial College also had the intention to murder the imperial family, and they would put it into action.
