Although Yang Tiejiang looked like a rough man with his neck stiffened, his peripheral vision was always focused on Emperor Wenyuan's reaction.
Seeing Emperor Wenyuan's reaction, he finally sneered, "Ha!"
"Sir Wang, you're quite arrogant. Someone who didn't know you would think you were giving His Majesty an order, trying to force Him to give you a chance to dictate me!"
Wang Hong's face changed.
The ministers also subconsciously raised their eyes slightly to look at Emperor Wenyuan sitting on the dragon throne.
Emperor Wenyuan naturally looked unhappy.
Wang Hong was furious and annoyed, "Marquis Zhenbei, don't try to sow discord. His Majesty is a holy and wise ruler. How could he allow you to do this..."
"You also know that His Majesty is a wise ruler. He just said that it was a misunderstanding and let the Yang family deal with it on their own. But you refuted His Majesty's words as soon as you opened your mouth, and kept saying that our Yang family is despicable."
Yang Tiejiang interrupted Wang Hong, speaking in a rough and sarcastic tone, "Lord Wang, an official from the Ministry of Rites, is even more perceptive than the officials from the Dali Temple. Not only did he know that our Yang family was selling illegal salt, he also knew that we were secretly buying mineral veins and even wanted to make weapons. What's going on? Is Lord Wang living in my house? Or is he living in our stomachs? He even knows what we are thinking!"
"you……"
"What do you mean?"
Yang Tiejiang took off his shoes and smashed them at Wang Hong's hand that was pointing at him angrily.
Wang Hong took a step back after being hit.
All the ministers were stunned.
Taking off shoes and hitting people in the court, this is really...
"Marquis of Zhenbei..." Emperor Wenyuan frowned.
Yang Tiejiang blurted out without thinking: "Your Majesty, you can scold me later. Wait until I finish scolding Wang Hongxian."
Emperor Wenyuan: "..."
Ministers: “…”
"I tell you, Wang Hong, I dared to beat you up back then, and I dare to beat you up again today. You accused me of plotting a rebellion. I think your Wang family has truly forgotten their status."
"The Emperor is our master, our God, and the king we are loyal to. Whether someone is guilty or not, and how to deal with them, are all decided by the Emperor. Why are you, a subordinate, leading such nonsense?"
These words instantly dissipated the displeasure that had just risen in Emperor Wenyuan's heart.
He couldn't help but look at Yang Tiejiang again.
Although Yang Tiejiang is a bit rude and impolite, he is indeed loyal.
He is the emperor, the master of the world.
But many times, he was simply unable to be a dictator. The court seemed to have clear hierarchies, but in fact it was very complicated. Many times he could only turn a blind eye.
Because these days, Mr. Lu has taken down a large number of officials.
There were already many people in the court who were dissatisfied with him, and they were making trouble for him openly or secretly. Even the harem was starting to feel restless.
What Yang Tiejiang said today really hit the nail on the head.
These ministers have truly forgotten their own identities and have forgotten who is the king and who is the minister.
"Look at you all, forming cliques and putting pressure on His Majesty. What's going on? If the Emperor doesn't meet your demands, are you going to join forces and force him to abdicate? Or are you planning to cause another scene of storming the throne room?"
"I'm telling you, don't do that. The Emperor has no tolerance for any sand in his eyes. Do you really think that the Emperor doesn't know that you're doing one thing in private and another in public?"
"But you haven't committed any serious mistakes yet. The Emperor is magnanimous and is turning a blind eye for now."
Yang Tiejiang's words were so blunt that most of the court officials were slightly moved. Many of them looked at each other in private, obviously not expecting that Yang Tiejiang, a fool, could say such words.
Although Emperor Wenyuan looked dignified and stern on the surface, his eyes narrowed slightly in pleasure.
