Translator: 549690339
“I’ve heard that chief advisor Wang has been ill recently, so he doesn’t need to go to court. I’ll give you three months to rest. The affairs of the cabinet will be handed over to Zhao tingfang, the Grand Secretary of the eastern Pavilion.” The faces of the Dukes changed slightly.
His Majesty is changing the chief and assistant. First, he’ll be a figurehead, then a new person.
This was the first thing he did?
“Thank you, Your Majesty,” chief advisor Wang bowed and said.
Emperor Yuan jing no longer looked at him. It was too late for him to admit defeat. He turned to the ministers and said word by word,
“Zhen is very angry!
“Because there are traitors in the court who killed the Duke, slandered the imperial family, and slandered the court. Such a treasonous disciple should have his entire family killed!”
In the hall, everyone lowered their heads and did not say a word.
Emperor Yuan jing looked at Wei Yuan and said in a deep voice, “”Wei Yuan, Xu
Qi ‘an is your man. You have to take responsibility for this. I give you three days to bring this thief and his family to justice.”
“Yes,” Wei Yuan stepped out and bowed.
You, Wei Qingyi, are not as outstanding as the rumors say … Emperor yuanjing’s eyes flashed with sarcasm and he continued to ask, ”
“Do you have anything to add about the punishment of the traitor Xu Qi ‘an?”
“I have something to report,” Zhang xingying stepped out of the ranks.
“Speak,” Emperor Yuan jing looked at him and nodded.
Zhang xingying bowed and was silent for a few seconds. He seemed to be brewing something before he said loudly, North vanquishing Prince colluded with the witch God religion and slaughtered 380000 people in the Chu
Prefecture city. The state protector, que Yongxiu, was personally involved. After that, he colluded with the state Duke Cao and killed the Chu Prefecture’s chief administrator, Zheng xinghuai ..
Before he could finish, Emperor Yuan jing shouted, “”Bastard! Zhang xingying, you want to reverse the verdict?”
I was wondering where that Xu Qi ‘an got his guts from. It turns out that he colluded with you. Do you know what crime it is to slander a Prince and a
Duke?”
Emperor yuanjing glared at Zhang xingying, His Majesty like the tide.
Zhang xingying raised his head and looked at Emperor Yuan jing. He shook his head and said,”l don’t want to reverse the verdict.”
“Then what do you want?” Emperor Yuan jing stared at him.
Faced with the emperor’s question, Zhang xingying took another step forward, as if he wanted to use his own aura to contend with the Emperor. He said loudly, ‘”‘His Majesty is guilty. The first crime is to allow the North vanquishing Prince to massacre the city. The second crime was to protect the North vanquishing Prince and the country protector.
“Your subject requests Your Majesty to state your crimes!”
His voice reverberated.
The Imperial court fell silent upon hearing this, but it was also like a thunderclap, earth-shattering and heaven-shaking.
Emperor Yuan jing was shocked. What did he just hear?
Confess to your crimes?
This puny imperial censor actually dared to make him issue an edict to punish himself.
“I think you’ve gone crazy.”
Emperor Yuan jing was very angry. The dignity of a King was challenged by an ant. How dare an imperial censor ask him to write a decree of his crimes?
“Zhang xingying, I suspect that you colluded with Xu Qi ‘an to kill the Duke and slander the Prince. Men, take him to the Imperial prison.”
After saying that, he saw a green-robed man step out of the ranks.
I’ve made up my mind, ” Emperor Yuan jing snorted. no one is to beg for mercy. Otherwise, you’ll be punished with the same crime.
This group of civil officials was the best at taking advantage of others. It seemed that it was not enough to knock down chief advisor Wang, and Zhang xingying had to be added.
“Your Majesty, please state your crimes,” the man in green said.
Emperor Yuan jing suddenly froze and squeezed out the words from between his teeth, “‘You’re really bold. What? Do you think you can balance me after I’ve helped you to this position?”
Wei Yuan didn’t answer.
At this time, chief advisor Wang stepped out and said in a clear voice, ‘”Your
Majesty, please state your crimes.”
Another … The members of the royal family and the nobles were all shocked. If they had not smelled the “conspiracy” by now, they would be too slow.
Emperor Yuan jing had been playing politics for decades and was more sensitive than the imperial family and the nobles. He sneered, “”1 was wondering why you were so unyielding yesterday. It turns out that you’ve already colluded with Wei Yuan and were about to commit such a disrespectful crime.
“Good, very good, what a good chief advisor Wang, what a good Wei Qingyi. The two of you have been fighting for so many years, and in the end, you’ve joined forces to deal with me. ”
He slammed the table and shouted angrily, ” Wang zhenwen, how many scepters can these old bones of yours take? ”
“What other moves do you have? Who else did he connect with? Go ahead and use it. Today, whoever dared to stand out would be deceiving the Emperor and being disrespectful. Drag all of you out with the court cane!”
He was still sitting upright, because he was the king.
So what if Wei Yuan and Wang zhenwen joined forces? if he could defeat them once, he could do it again.
“What other moves do you have? Who else did he connect with? Go ahead and use it. Today, whoever dared to stand out would be deceiving the Emperor and being disrespectful. Drag all of you out with the court cane!” Emperor Yuan jing sneered.
Court scepter was a common method used by the Emperor to deal with officials. It was not a light threat. It must be known that since ancient times, countless officials had died from court scepter and were beaten to death.
Emperor Yuan jing believed that at this moment, the Lords must have realized that once the court flogged them, they would be beaten to death.
When the Civil officials were in a united front, he would be wary and patient. But if there were only four or five of them, beating them to death would be a shock to the officials.
Minister sun of the Ministry of Justice stepped out. Your Majesty indulged the
North Vanquisher Prince in the beginning, and protected the North Vanquisher Prince and the Duke protector afterwards. Please state your crimes.
“Your Majesty, please state your crimes,” imperial censor of the right, Liu Hong, stepped out.
“Your Majesty, please state your crimes,” the minister of rites stepped out.
“Your Majesty, please state your crimes,” the Minister of Revenue stepped out.
“Your Majesty, please state your crimes,” the Minister of Personnel stepped out.
The representatives of Department 6 were so excited that their faces and ears were red. “Your Majesty, please state your crimes.”
In an instant, two-thirds of the officials in the court stepped out. Some of them were Wei Yuan’s henchmen.A portion of them were Wang zhenwen’s henchmen, and a portion of them were those who had been angry but had not dared to speak up.
The scalps of the officials and nobles who didn’t step out went numb.
Other than the battle for the throne two hundred years ago, there had never been such an incident in the history of Da Feng. The idea of loyalty to the Emperor was rooted in the hearts of the Civil officials, so how could they dare to go head to head with the Emperor?
But today, it happened.
The throne room was terrifyingly silent.
“You guys, you guys …”
Emperor Yuan jing, who was sitting on the Dragon Throne, lost all color in his face. At this moment, he felt great humiliation.
He, the Emperor of a country, was actually forced to issue an edict of his crimes by a group of officials.
The dignity of an Emperor was being trampled on like this?
Emperor Yuan jing ascended the throne as a young man. For the past 37 years, he had firmly controlled the Imperial court. Every day, the ministers were fighting to the death, but he sat on the fishing platform as if he was watching a show.
He was so high and mighty that he highlighted the humbleness of his subjects, like a monkey who was watching a monkey show.
At this moment, this group of monkeys actually United to overturn the heavens?
He trembled as he pointed at the Dukes in the hall. His lips trembled as he roared, “”Do you really think I don’t dare to punish you? Men, men, drag these rebellious officials away and give them sixty strokes of the cane!”
His voice reverberated in the hall, outside the throne room, and in the ears of the officials.
This was the anger of a sovereign. When an Emperor was angry, millions of corpses would be buried.
Under this pressure, an even more unbelievable scene occurred. Outside the hall, from the Imperial court to the court, hundreds of officials simultaneously
Imelt down and shouted, ‘
“Your Majesty, please state your crimes.”
“Your Majesty, please state your crimes.”
The sound waves rolled and reverberated in the sky above the Imperial Palace.
Emperor Yuan jing could not believe his ears. For a moment, he suspected that he was hallucinating.
He stood up slowly and looked out of the hall. From the Imperial court to the square, hundreds of officials Imelt down and shouted, “To confess to his crimes
“You, you …”
He pointed at the countless officials outside the hall, his finger trembling as he roared, ”
“What are you doing? are you forcing me together? In your eyes, do you still have Jun father, traitor, traitor, traitor!”
The last four words were shouted hoarsely.
In the past 37 years, he had never lost his composure like this. The only few times that happened were a few days ago, but they were all fake.
He had been playing with monkeys for 37 years. Today, he was actually played by a monkey.
A surge of blood rushed up to his heart and Emperor Yuan jing staggered.
Yuan Xiong, you are the Imperial Censorate’s left Imperial Censorate. You tell these rebels what they are doing.
The Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong, stiffened his neck and turned to look at the officials. The officials were also looking at him, their eyes as cold as
11011.
Gulp … Yuan Xiong swallowed his saliva and stepped out of the ranks with difficulty. He bowed and said, “”Your Majesty, since things have come to this, please don’t be stubborn. Please, please admit your crimes …”
Shua shua shua … The Emperor staggered backward and fell on his Dragon Throne. He muttered, ‘”‘They’re rebelling, they’re rebelling …”
“I’m the Emperor of a country, how can I be wrong? Don’t even think about making His Majesty confess to his crimes …”
At this point, the old man’s face suddenly turned red, and he roared with all his might, his face trembling, “”Dream on!”
At this moment, a sigh came from inside the hall. With a flash of light, an old scholar with disheveled hair and wearing an old robe appeared.
Yun Lu Institute, principal Zhao Shou!
“Yuan jing, admit your crimes,” Zhao Shou said calmly.
Emperor Yuan jing’s face turned pale.
