Chapter 37: Falling out!
"Your Highness, please forgive me. Of course, you are the regent, but Wan Tongfu did not do his job well and even embezzled disaster relief funds. He should be executed for this crime!"
Xiao Yan also laughed when he heard this.
"Your Excellency the Prime Minister is really hypocritical. When someone else committed a crime, you kept saying that you wanted a joint trial by the three courts, but now it's Wan Tongfu's turn and you want to execute him immediately?"
"Why? Did Wan Tongfu have a grudge against you for killing your father? Or did Wan Tongfu commit adultery with your concubine?"
Hu Zhenghe's face suddenly changed when he heard this.
"Prince, I understand that you are young and ignorant, so I will not bother with what you just said. Please don't go too far!"
Xiao Yan stood up and slowly walked in front of Hu Zhenghe.
"I am bullying you. What? Are you going to fight?"
"Come, I will stand here today, you can do whatever you want. If I dodge, you will be the regent today!"
Hu Zhenghe clenched his fists and said, "I dare not! "
At this time, Xiao Yan stretched out his hand and slapped Hu Zhenghe on the face.
"I thought you were so brave, but it turns out you're just a barking dog. Remember, you are my royal subject, so don't show your teeth to your master."
Hu Zhenghe felt endless humiliation at this moment, but he absolutely could not take action now, otherwise all his plans for so many years would be in vain.
"I obey your order!"
"But I will definitely report your humiliation to your Highness today and impeach the Crown Prince!"
Xiao Yan was originally preparing to return to the dragon throne, but after hearing Hu Zhenghe's words, he turned back.
"Look, Sir Hu, this is what you did wrong, isn't it?"
"This is like a child who can't win a fight and then goes to the parents to ask for help. This is really too much!"
"How about I kowtow to you?"
As Xiao Yan was about to kneel down, but before he could kneel down, there was a loud noise and all the court officials knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, be careful!"
Hu Zhenghe was in a dilemma at this point. If the prince knelt as his subject, Hu Zhenghe would definitely not see the next day's sunrise, and he didn't need any reason.
"I deserve death, it's all my fault, Your Highness, please calm down!"
Xiao Yan waved his hand and walked directly to the platform.
"No, you are the Prime Minister of the dynasty. You have the right to impeach me. I can't stop you!"
"Let's not talk about anything else. Although Wan Tongfu was in charge of disaster relief, he didn't care about anything else. He was at the construction site."
"He didn't even have access to the disaster relief money, so how could he have embezzled it? Did you, Hu Zhenghe, personally confiscate it or something?"
"Besides, as for the matter of inciting the disaster victims, he went there to provide disaster relief, not to cause trouble for himself. What would you do if it were you?"
"Don't treat everyone as an idiot. Use your brain when thinking. You can donate yours if you don't need it!"
At this time, the court was silent, and no one dared to refute Xiao Yan's sharp words.
Even the current Prime Minister was scolded bitterly, let alone them.
"I will send someone to investigate the matter of Wan Tongfu, and I will also investigate the matter of inciting the victims!"
"If it was really Wan Tongfu who did it, I will give you an explanation. If I find out about other people in this matter, be careful of your own head."
"My Lords, the Imperial Censors!"
Several imperial censors were still lying on the ground obediently at this time.
Several people said in unison: "I am here!"
"The victims in the north need to be comforted, and you are needed to do that now. In addition, you can also exercise your power of supervision and investigate the matter."
"If you continue to incite the victims, you can go home and retire!"
These censors don’t have much to do normally, but everyone knows that they have great power and can criticize anyone indiscriminately!
I feel relieved to leave this matter to them.
"Your Highness obeys your order!"
Xiao Yan's methods were indeed cruel enough, so no one dared to make a fuss about this matter.
After hearing what Xiao Yan said, Hu Zhenghe became nervous. He was the one who asked people to do this matter, but he didn't know whether he would be traced back to him in the end.
Of course, there must be people ahead of him, but the losses are his own men.
"Who still has capital? If you don't have capital, leave the court!"
Seeing that no one spoke, Xiao Yan turned around and left.
Hu Mansion.
Bang!
Hu Zhenghe smashed the teacup directly!
"I'm so angry, I'm so angry!"
"How dare you, little yellow-haired brat, ride on my head. How dare you, do you really think that I, Hu Zhenghe, am easy to bully?"
"If I don't take away your power as regent today, I will never be able to get rid of the hatred in my heart!"
Hu Zhenghe was extremely angry at this time. He thought that even though he held great power, he had never been humiliated like this before.
"Calm down, sir. Walls have ears!"
The Jinyiwei people are not pushovers. It would be difficult to explain if someone really overheard what I said.
"Why? Would I, Hu Zhenghe, be afraid of him? We both know the truth , but we just haven't torn our faces apart!"
"What about the power of the Kingsguard?"
Upon hearing this, Guo Youzhi said, "Sir, the command of the Royal Guard is now in our hands!"
“You can mobilize at any time!”
After hearing this, Hu Zhenghe finally calmed down a little.
"I have waited so long just for the Royal Guards. Now that I have the Royal Guards in my hands, I finally feel more confident!"
Guo Youzhi also said quickly : "Sir, we have just taken control of the Royal Guards, and we need to stabilize them for the time being."
"We can't show our true colors for now, otherwise all our efforts will be wasted."
Although Hu Zhenghe had great power in the court, he dared not take action because he had no military power and could be suppressed at any time.
But it’s different now. There are 30,000 Imperial Guards, and they are set up to protect the safety of the capital!
Moreover, he does not obey orders from the tiger talisman, but only the orders of the emperor. The commander is absolutely the emperor's confidant.
Now the commander of the Imperial Guard has been completely bribed by Hu Zhenghe, so Hu Zhenghe can proudly say that he has an army.
"Didn't Xiao Yan say he wanted to be impeached? Then I will go to His Majesty and impeach you."
"I just don't know if you can hold on, Your Majesty!"
As the Prime Minister, he can naturally meet the Emperor, and the Emperor still needs to know about the affairs of the court.
The emperor's bedroom.
"Your Majesty, why are you doing this? It turns out that you are responsible for all this..."
Ye Youyue looked at the emperor in front of her with some disbelief and even speechlessness.
"If I don't do this, how can I make the Crown Prince grow up earlier? How can I make those treacherous ministers show their claws?"
"I can support him while I am here, but sooner or later this world will belong to him. If one day I am gone, the Great Zhou will be finished!"
It turns out that after all this talk, the emperor's serious illness was caused by his own fault, and he even gave others the opportunity to poison him.
The emperor fought hard for his son. Others were just trying to protect their own son.
He was better and just tried to find a way to push his son to the front.
"But your majesty, your body can't stand the torture now. If something goes wrong..."
Ye Youyue couldn't help but reveal a worried expression.
