Hearing that the emperor was planning to dismiss him, Han Yizhi was so frightened that he almost lost his soul. He kept begging, "Your Majesty, please forgive me this time. I was only thinking about Tianqi and didn't think too much about it at the time. Your Majesty..."
Seeing that the emperor did not respond, Han Yizhi knelt down next to Jiang Zhiyu and said, "Jiang Shishu, I was just bewitched for a moment. Please forgive me this time."
Wow, a third-rank Minister of War begged a ninth-rank Secretary of the Hanlin Academy.
Such a wonder is impossible to appear in the history books of the past dynasties since the Tianqi period, and even unofficial history books dare not compile it!
The ministers were amazed. Looking at their expressions, Jiang Zhiyu thought that if he gave them a bag of melon seeds, they would probably start cracking them on the spot.
Jiang Zhiyu had no intention of letting him go. She leaned over to his ear and said, "You've made me sad. How can I possibly let you off easy?"
Han Yizhi is a fool, but the emperor is not.
She was so sleepy that she didn't react, but now it seems that the emperor was deliberately trying to provoke a conflict between her and Han Yizi, forcing her to confront him, and then using his mouth to dismiss Han Yizi from his post.
This is what is called killing with a borrowed knife.
Jiang Zhiyu looked at the emperor with his eyes slightly narrowed.
[He really has eight hundred thoughts! ]
emperor:"……"
Under Jiang Zhiyu's scorching gaze, he actually felt a little guilty.
He lowered his eyes and spoke in a cold voice, "Just because of a momentary grudge, you framed your colleagues, took human lives, murdered virtuous officials, and accepted bribes!" His voice grew louder and louder. He took a memorial from the table and threw it in Han Yizi's face, "Look! Do you have anything else to explain?"
The emperor was furious, so who dared to stand? All the ministers knelt on the ground, and the only two people standing in the room were Jiang Zhiyu and He Yanting.
Han Yizi stretched out his shaking hands and opened the letter tremblingly. The more he read, the more frightened he became. His face turned pale and cold sweat dripped from his forehead like rain.
The muscles on his face kept twitching as he read dozens of lines of text over and over again, as if he could avoid the impending punishment if he kept reading.
But the emperor obviously didn't have the patience.
His cold, star-like black eyes looked down at her: "Han Yizi, do you have anything else to say?"
Han Yizi opened his mouth, feeling as if his throat was being strangled by something. He could only make "gurgling" sounds and could not utter a word.
The emperor frowned and was about to speak again, but he saw Han Yizi's eyes rolled back and his body fell forward.
“!!!”
The emperor was startled. Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward and opened Han Yizhi's eyelids: "It's nothing, he was just frightened and overwhelmed for a moment, so he fainted."
She rolled up her sleeves, and just when everyone thought she was going to give Han Yizi an acupuncture injection to save him, she slapped Han Yizi several times with lightning speed!
The "pa pa" sound of the palm touching the cheek was particularly obvious in the silent room, and seemed to echo faintly.
Han Yizi's face swelled up visibly, and he gradually woke up.
【How did you wake up so quickly! 】
Jiang Zhiyu sighed inwardly, and quickly fanned twice before withdrawing his hand regretfully.
She stood up and met He Yanting's gaze. She raised her eyebrows slightly, and a cunning look flashed across her eyes, as if to say: Hurry up?
emperor:"……"
Ministers: “…”
He Yanting looked away, tilted his head, put his fist to his lips and chuckled.
Han Yizhi slowly opened his eyes, only to feel a faint taste of blood in his mouth. His consciousness slowly returned, and he ignored it and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I...I didn't do it!"
He opened his mouth, his cheek aching, and could only whisper, "Someone must have framed me. I absolutely did not do such an inhumane and shameful thing as digging the male fetus out of my bride's belly!"
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[Good boy, this is what they call being so ruthless that I even curse myself.]
The emperor's eyes were filled with hidden meaning. He didn't mention Jiang Zhiyu's recent actions, but continued, "Since you say someone is framing you, then produce the evidence. This memorial clearly states it in black and white!"
Han Yizhi kept swallowing his saliva, his brain racing. Then, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to say, "Your Majesty, it says here that I killed everyone in that family in order to occupy the land. But Your Majesty, you can send the Jinyiwei to search my house to see if I have this land deed!"
The emperor paused. This was indeed a possible solution, but since Han Yizi dared to say it so clearly, he must have concluded that the Jinyiwei could not find it.
So where would he hide?
As soon as the emperor looked at Jiang Zhiyu, he heard a familiar voice ringing in his ears.
[In the Anle Marquis's mansion, he gave the land deed to his wife. It was under her pillow!]
[Damn it, how can I tell the Emperor without leaving any trace?]
The emperor's face was gloomy. "You are so sure, are you sure I can't find the deed?"
Han Yizi raised his head, his face full of surprise.
Impossible! He kept it so secret, there's no way anyone would have discovered it!
He thought it was impossible in his heart, but his eyes were fixed on the emperor.
The emperor called for the captain of the Imperial Guards and said, "Go, bring me the pillow for the wife of Marquis Anle."
Suddenly, a thunderclap rang in Han Yizhi's ears! The breath he had held could no longer sustain him, and his whole body collapsed.
He actually knew!
Everything today is under his control!
[Wow, the emperor found out. All my worries were in vain.]
emperor:"……"
The emperor's expression softened, and he waved his hand twice, motioning Jiang Zhiyu to come over.
"You've been wronged today, is there anything you want?"
Jiang Zhiyu blinked: "Then save it again."
[I'll tell you when I need something later. I must have been a Tun Tun Rat in my previous life!]
The emperor remained silent.
Looking at Han Yizi's actions, expression, and the emperor's intimacy with Jiang Zhiyu, the ministers had nothing to understand.
It was obvious that the emperor wanted to capture Han Yizi, and he was a fool and just happened to run into him!
In name, he was confronting Jiang Zhiyu, but in reality, his target was only Han Yi!
They were still in shock, and the emperor seemed to have just come to his senses. He smiled and said, "What are you all kneeling for? Get up quickly."
Everyone thanked him and stood up as he said.
"Now that we are here, my dear ministers, do you have any candidates for the new Minister of War?"
Hearing this, Han Yizi shuddered again.
[The evil capitalists won't let you rest for a moment, you have to work! ]
The emperor turned a deaf ear and called out the names, "Grand Marshal, Minister of the Interior, Minister of Works, do you have any candidates in mind?"
The three of them looked at each other, and Sikong Gou Yuanjing stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have someone I can recommend."
The emperor raised his thick eyebrows, showing interest: "Who?"
Many figures flashed through his mind, but he didn't expect Gou Yuanjing to say, "This person is far away, yet he is right before my eyes. The person I want to recommend is General He, He Yanting!"
