Chapter 989 Emperor Xuan of Qi was furious
Emperor Xuan of Qi also specifically pointed out this memorial and ordered someone to go to the Hanlin Academy to invite Shao Bianxiu to come, so that he could personally review the matter.
Lord Tian and several of his friends all felt a jolt in their hearts and felt a little uneasy.
The emperor said "please", which shows that he really values this new top scholar!
Everyone was a little depressed and puzzled. The emperor had been on the throne for more than 40 years, and there was a champion every three years. What was so strange about that? Okay, this one was the youngest and good-looking, so people would pay more attention to him, but why was it so serious?
It was originally thought that once this memorial was submitted, the emperor would become disgusted with Shao Yunduan and remove him from office, but it was unexpected that he would actually interrogate him personally in court.
Several ministers who were on good terms with Lord Tian couldn't help but secretly blame him for being too petty. Wasn't this matter already over? Why was he still holding on to it?
He was a high-ranking official in the current dynasty, and the whole fuss was caused by his own fault. Even though the emperor had personally mediated, he still refused to give up and kept blaming Shao the editor. He was really too narrow-minded and had too little magnanimity!
Some people were secretly on guard. The Tian family was so petty, so they had to be careful when making friends with them in the future. Who knows when they might offend them and make them bear a grudge against them?
Shao Yunduan came to the court, his elegant posture was calm and open, he bowed his head and paid homage, with grace and elegance.
When Emperor Xuan of Qi saw it, he felt a sense of appreciation and satisfaction in his heart, and his heart was subconsciously biased.
As soon as Shao Yunduan stood up, the impeached Censor Liu immediately stared at him with two cold eyes like lightning, and shouted in a deep voice: "Shao Yunduan, you have bad conduct, lack of moral integrity, disrespect for elders, and no self-cultivation. You have simply brought shame to all scholars in the world. Why don't you quickly confess your crimes and ask for the emperor's forgiveness! If you continue to be stubborn, hmph!"
"How dare you!" Emperor Xuan of Qi was furious. He grabbed a memorial and threw it at Censor Liu's head, roaring, "I haven't spoken yet, and you're showing off your power! I said I would personally try you, but you want to convict someone else. Who the hell are you? How dare you go beyond me!"
All the court officials were shocked. They lowered their heads, concentrated their minds, held their breath, and dared not make a sound.
Censor Liu was terrified, his head was buzzing, his face was pale, and cold sweat covered his back.
"Your Majesty!" Censor Liu's knees weakened and he fell to the ground, trembling, "I dare not, I am innocent! I am just, I am just angry at him, Editor Shao's behavior, I couldn't hold back my impulse, so I spoke out, please understand your majesty!"
"Quibbling! You're talking nonsense!" Emperor Xuan of Qi was not moved by his explanation at all. He kicked him viciously and sneered sinisterly: "You are just taking advantage of his young age and trying to scare him by surprise, so that he will not know how to defend himself and will confess his guilt without knowing what's going on! Oh, are you treating me like a fool? You are playing such petty tricks in front of me. I think you are tired of living!"
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I dare not do this. I have absolutely no such intention. Please understand clearly, Your Majesty!"
Censor Liu almost collapsed to the ground, his voice became hoarse and trembling with fear, and he kowtowed repeatedly. The "bang bang bang" sound of his kowtow was particularly shocking in the Golden Palace, which was silent and the atmosphere seemed to be frozen.
All the court officials were experienced men. Censor Liu had bad intentions when he suddenly attacked Shao Yunduan before he could gain a firm foothold. He wanted to scare him and take him down by surprise. However, he did not expect that his plan would be exposed by the emperor in public!
