However, because of these major events, the entire court was in a panic, and even he, who was sick and recuperating at home, was asked for help.
Finding the spy from Beizhao Kingdom is indeed more important than Xiao Ruoyi's matter, otherwise the whole court would not be in such a panic and even she, who is recuperating at home, would be asked for help.
And now, he was just starting with a small matter, why should the emperor be so petty?
It can only be said that the Prime Minister underestimated the favor and importance of Emperor Donglin to Xiao Ruoyi!
Emperor Donglin sneered, worrying that he couldn't find an excuse!
Then we should start with the prime minister. If we dampen his fighting spirit, we will also destroy the prestige of all the officials.
"Oh, you all, instead of investigating the Beizhao spy case, you say that a little girl disturbed the government of Donglin? I really didn't know that my little girl had such great ability and could bring disaster to Donglin even more than a spy!"
All the officials immediately knelt on the ground, "Your Majesty, calm down!"
"Calm down? How do you want me to calm down? A spy from another country has been in the court for more than ten years and you are not worried, but now you are so upset about a little girl coming to the court? Old Prime Minister, you are really going backwards as you grow older!"
The old prime minister was caught off guard as the accusations of punishment continued.
...
...
Who could have thought that Emperor Donglin's fighting power today would be so strong that they were all caught off guard.
"Your Majesty, this is not what I meant!"
Emperor Donglin leaned back slightly and sneered at the Prime Minister, "Oh? Then I wonder what the Prime Minister means?"
Emperor Donglin at this time is no longer the young emperor who had just ascended the throne. At this moment, his tall and slender body is wearing a golden dragon robe, and he exudes the domineering aura of a king who looks down on the world.
Faced with such an Emperor Donglin, even the prime minister who had served two dynasties was frightened, as if he had returned to the moment when several princes were fighting for the throne and Emperor Donglin was decisive in killing.
However, even so, the Prime Minister still spoke earnestly, "Your Majesty, although it is worth celebrating that we caught the spy from Beizhao, this has also caused unrest in the court and will give other countries an opportunity to take advantage of it!"
Emperor Donglin was not afraid at all, he sneered, "An opportunity to take advantage of? What are they taking advantage of? Attack Donglin? I am not afraid! If they dare to take action, I will send the general to suppress them! Is the Prime Minister afraid?"
When Tan Xu was called out, he immediately puffed out his chest with pride, his face full of smugness, which made many civil officials jealous.
Being able to be taken out for a walk at this time means that he has the emperor's trust and trust in his abilities, and he, Tan Xu, is the most trustworthy one.
Tan Xu also knew that Emperor Donglin was just talking at this time and did not really have such plans, so he did not stand up to show his loyalty, but he still had to be proud when it was time to be proud!
"It is the people who suffer when a country goes to war. I suggest that the country should raise troops and accumulate strength!"
Emperor Donglin narrowed his eyes slightly, "From what the Prime Minister said, I want the people to suffer for my own selfish reasons?"
No matter how big the hat was put on, the ministers below couldn't help but tremble. Even the prime minister of a country could not bear it.
"Your Majesty, that's not what I meant!" The Prime Minister frowned, feeling dissatisfied and upset that Emperor Donglin always used this matter to fool him.
Even though I know that's not what he meant at all, I'm still so stubborn.
Emperor Donglin sneered in his heart, lowered his eyes to look at the Prime Minister, flicked his fingers, and asked calmly, "Then will the Prime Minister allow a disaster that is very likely to endanger the stability of Donglin to be in this court?"
The prime minister's heart skipped a beat again, and he immediately admitted his mistake, "Of course this is not what I meant!"
Although Emperor Dong Lin's tone was calm, everyone could hear the seriousness of his words.
Before, he just wanted Emperor Donglin to stop causing turmoil in the entire court, but now it seems that he has backfired and even he has been dragged into this vortex.
He was really reckless this time!
"I believe that the case of the spy must be investigated quickly to avoid putting everyone in the court in danger!"
"Prime Minister, you are absolutely right!" Emperor Donglin nodded in agreement, then looked at Wang Changdong, the Supreme Court Justice who had been invisible in the crowd, and said, "The Supreme Court Justice!"
"I am here!"
Wang Changdong, the Dali Temple official who was named, was already cursing the prime minister in his heart.
The old guy refuses to die and keeps causing trouble!
Now he is implicated! All the pressure is on him alone!
"How's your investigation going?"
Wang Changdong's body trembled immediately, and he knelt on the ground and kowtowed, "Reporting to Your Majesty! Your humble servant... Your humble servant has not yet found out the truth!"
God knows how much courage he mustered when he said the last sentence!
He has sent people to investigate Xia Huai, but there is still no useful information!
There is no way to prove who Xia Huai was in contact with, and no one knows which minister in the court was bribed. There is no clue at all.
At this moment, Wang Changdong really hated the prime minister.
Emperor Donglin was immediately furious, "Useless! There is no evidence at all. Even the Prime Minister went to court despite being ill to stabilize the government, but you didn't investigate anything. What use do I have for you!"
Prime Minister, "..." You can say whatever you want, but why are you using me as an example? Are you deliberately trying to make me an enemy?
Wang Changdong knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent and I am afraid I cannot take on this important task. Please choose another capable minister!"
I originally wanted to give it a try and see if I could come up with some random result to fool the Emperor.
But these bastards were making things difficult for him because of their situations, so he would just push it to them and let them deal with the headache themselves!
This time, Emperor Donglin does not plan to completely depose Wang Changdong, and allows him to continue to shine in this position.
"You are indeed not up to the task! I will send someone else to investigate this matter!" Emperor Donglin snorted coldly, "The Dali Temple Minister is not doing his job well, and he will be fined one year's salary!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
When the Dali Temple Minister heard the emperor's verdict, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt that the emperor was a wise ruler!
Emperor Donglin turned to look at the Prime Minister again, with a playful look in his eyes, "Prime Minister, who do you think would be better at investigating this matter? Only by investigating it thoroughly can we restore peace to the entire court!"
Today, he will make all the ministers who are against him tremble in fear!
Dare to say bad things about his precious little girl, huh... even the Prime Minister is no exception!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire court fell silent, as if everyone could hear their own heartbeats beating excitedly like deer.
This is not an easy task!
No matter how well you do it, it will offend people and may even ruin your future.
