When people outside learned that the court was coming to give rewards, there was already a lot of commotion, and the generals who received the news were all smiling with joy.

Everyone is happy that their general has a good reputation; the court has given a lot of rewards, which is also something worth being happy about. At least everyone will no longer be suspected by the court for no reason.

With such a strong boss, everyone's life will definitely be much better in the future.

Late at night, Wang Xianggan stood on the city wall of Shenyang, gazing into the distance with an expressionless face.

His figure was somewhat thin, and he looked somewhat lonely in the dark night, seemingly out of tune with the bustling scene below the city. But standing there alone, he seemed quite harmonious.

Since coming to Liaodong, he has traveled to several places and taken a look at the situation in Liaodong.

Generally speaking, the situation in Liaodong was not good. Wang Xianggan had heard about the situation in Liaodong before and had done some research before coming here, so he was mentally prepared.

But once he arrived, Wang Xianggan realized his preparations were insufficient. The situation in Liaodong was worse than he had imagined, and the conditions for a counterattack were completely unsuitable.

Let alone a counterattack, being able to hold on was the best. Wang Xianggan was a little worried. First, he was worried that Liaodong could not be held, and second, he was worried that some people in the court would cause some trouble.

You must know that Liaodong has always been unstable, and the biggest influencing factor is the imperial court.

With a soft sigh, Wang Xianggan turned around and walked down, saying, "Prepare the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. I need to submit a letter to the court."

Wang Xianggan was ready to inform the court of the situation here in full, let them know what was going on here, and put an end to their messy thoughts. At least let the emperor know not to be fooled easily.

Someone nearby agreed, "Yes, sir."

After returning to the room, Wang Xianggan asked someone to light up the lights and started to write the question book. Although he was very worried, he tried his best not to mix his personal emotions into the question book, otherwise it would be easy to make mistakes.

When Wang Xianggan was writing the memorial, the city of Beijing had actually started to become noisy, and no one was talking about the affairs in Liaodong at all.

Everyone is busy with party struggles, who has the time to care about Liaodong?

Some people were thinking about protecting themselves, while others were thinking about defeating others. Everything was going on in this way, and no one cared about the situation in Liaodong.

Zou Yuanbiao's funeral went smoothly, and the cabinet has already come up with a plan for his affairs after his death.

The court gave Zou Yuanbiao a posthumous title, and no one mentioned the previous case again. All the honors were given, and the Zou family also carried the coffin back home, preparing to transport the body back to his hometown for burial. For this purpose, Zhu Youxiao even asked Chen Hong to send a lot of ice.

Fortunately, the weather was not at its hottest yet, otherwise it would have been impossible to send it back.

Zou Yuanbiao's body was gone, but the rest of the work had to be done, and the court was waiting. The trend of impeaching Wei Zhongxian was getting more and more intense, and no one dared to speak up for him anymore. It seemed that everyone thought Wei Zhongxian was going to fall.

The Imperial Palace.

Zhu Youxiao summoned the court ministers, mainly the six ministers and his cabinet ministers.

This was a small meeting of the imperial court, also called a court meeting, where the emperor and his ministers decided matters.

Of course, it was mainly the important officials in the court, that is, the ministers at the center who participated in this meeting. The ministers who could enter this place were considered the top power holders of the court, and the others could only listen.

"The main reason for our discussion today is that public opinion has been quite mixed recently, and I would like to hear your opinions, my dear ministers." Zhu Youxiao said softly.

No one spoke, and the ministers were unwilling to speak out. At this point, nothing seemed right. Of course, this refers to ministers whose stances were less resolute, or who simply didn't have a firm stance at all.

Some people need to stand up. And they must stand up.

Gao Panlong stepped forward at this moment, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian was ruthless and abused Zou Yuanbiao with excessive punishment. Zou Yuanbiao was an important official of the court and was already old. How could he endure such humiliation? Moreover, Zou Yuanbiao died from the excessive punishment. I request that Wei Zhongxian be severely punished."

No one present was surprised by what Gao Panlong said, as he did have the right stance to say so.

After Gao Panlong, another person also stood up, and that person was the Minister of Rites Sun Shenxing.

Sun Shenxing also spoke up, "Wei Zhongxian is cunning and treacherous, deceiving his superiors and subordinates, and even punishing court officials to death. I believe he deserves severe punishment."

After these two people stood up, other people came forward one after another, with a consistent attitude to severely punish Wei Zhongxian.

The pressure has now fallen on the cabinet, and several cabinet ministers also have to express their opinions. If they are vague on this matter, I am afraid it will be in trouble.

Especially for Han Yu, if he could put the blame on Wei Zhongxian, it would be the best outcome for him. As for whether His Majesty wanted to protect Wei Zhongxian, it had nothing to do with him. He just needed to express his attitude.

But before Han Yu could speak, other cabinet ministers in the cabinet had already stood up.

Shi Jixie was the first to step forward. He bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that Wei Zhongxian should be severely punished, removed from office, and his crimes should be judged by the officials."
