These words left several civil officials in the hall who wanted to refute speechless.
They never thought that this could be said.
I never thought that the emperor in front of me would be so harsh, arrogant and unreasonable.
really!
Our ancestors were right, women should not be allowed to be emperors!
In the hall, the censor who was speechless just now could not help but stand up again after being silent for a long time.
It was obvious that he was trying to say something.
Among the civil officials, Chu Yi finally gave a wink to the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel beside him.
When Zuo Shilang saw this, he understood and took the lead to step out of the line.
"Your Majesty..."
At this moment, the imperial censor in the palace was about to continue speaking when he suddenly heard a noise behind him:
"Your Majesty, I am reporting the Imperial Censor Meng Yan for corruption, protecting his family members, and condoning illegal activities!"
"At the end of last year, one of Censor Meng's sons killed a man in Beijing after an argument. He took advantage of his position and ended the case hastily. This act was a blatant defiance of Da'an law. However, Censor Meng, as the Supervisory Censor, turned a blind eye and broke the law knowingly. I implore Your Majesty to punish Censor Meng and enforce the law strictly!"
The sudden words from the Left Assistant Minister made Meng Yan, who was about to speak, hold back his words.
He was stunned when he heard the Minister of Personnel's proud report on himself.
Oh boy, is this how we play it?
You didn't say it before, and you won't say it after the current important matter is over. Why do you have to give yourself a knife when you are about to become famous?
The knife was a good gift, but this knife went into my own kidney.
Faced with the sudden complaint from the Ministry of Personnel, Xiao Ling was stunned for a moment, and then overjoyed.
As expected, it seems that the Chu thief has been watching coldly on the surface, but when it comes to taking action, he still knows how to help himself.
Although she didn't recognize Meng Yan, she knew that he was the censor in front of her.
Without much hesitation, Xiao Ling's face was filled with anger again, and he just looked at Meng Yan.
"Mr. Meng, Minister Liu said that you allowed your son to kill someone. Is that true?"
Meng Yan was confused for a long time before he realized that this was an obvious conspiracy against him.
There was no need to think too much. It must have been his attempt to criticize the emperor's mistakes that angered Minister Chu.
But the arrow was on the road and he couldn't withdraw his hand. Even if he wanted to back down, there was nothing he could do.
Gritting his teeth, he lowered his head and continued, "Your Majesty, I think..."
Meng Yan wanted to continue talking about the legitimacy of the throne, but Xiao Ling didn't give him the chance and slammed his hands hard on the dragon throne.
"Sir Meng, I'm asking you, is what Minister Liu said true?"
Meng Yan: “…”
Faced with the further pressure from the emperor, he knew that he had been scared this time.
His face was pale, and he hesitated for a long time before he lowered his head and said in defense:
"Your Majesty, I am not aware of this matter. I will investigate thoroughly when I return. If my rebellious son has truly done such a thing, I will..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ling could no longer listen.
"Come here, take Lord Meng away and start the Tianwei investigation into Meng Yan's corruption and his killing!"
This series of orders was given quickly. As soon as the words fell, the guards who had been waiting outside the hall rushed into the hall without hesitation and dragged Meng Yan away.
"His Majesty!"
"I...risk my own life to recommend..."
When death was imminent, Meng Yan still did not forget his original intention and wanted to fight to the death.
But no matter what he said, Xiao Ling would not be stupid enough to let him finish.
The imperial guards had already gone down with their men, and the hall fell into silence again.
Everyone saw clearly that the attitude of the Lord of Heaven was very firm, and it was obvious that he did not want anyone to dare to touch the emperor's reverse scale on the issue of the legitimacy of the throne.
Many officials in the capital looked helpless, but they secretly looked in the direction of Chu Yi, and sighed that the Lord of Heaven was really blessed.
Just a moment later, suddenly, someone from the general's side took action.
"Your Majesty, I think..."
He had barely uttered a few words when the crowd at the Censorate moved.
Then, an imperial censor in a bright red official uniform stood up:
"Your Majesty, I impeach General Mo Gaoyi for his self-reliance and disregard for the law. He has formed a clique and engaged in private business, committed crimes, and is causing unrest in the capital, with the intention of rebellion!"
After these words were spoken, the hall fell silent again, including the general Mo Gaoyi who had just wanted to give advice.
And this censor is none other than the Inspector-General, thank you, sir!
He glanced at Mo Gaoyi coldly, then bowed:
"Your Majesty, I request a thorough investigation!"
Xiao Ling knew what he meant and immediately waved his hand, "Okay!"
Needless to say, two more guards came outside the hall and tried to drag Mo Gaoyi away.
The Mogao people were dumbfounded.
My father hasn't even said a word yet, and you're already accusing me of plotting rebellion. Isn't that a bit too much?
But he didn't dare to refute it, because eighty percent of the censor's impeachments were true.
After he was taken out again, no one in the hall dared to speak.
No matter how dissatisfied they were, they understood that they couldn't say it, at least not at this point today.
If you say so, you will definitely be taken out! No matter if you are guilty or not, you will be put in a mess.
Just when everyone in the hall dared not say anything, suddenly, another fifth-rank official moved his feet.
Although this scene did not cause much noise, it stood out among the neatly-organized team.
"Your Majesty, I accuse Lord Wang of neglecting state affairs and occupying a position without doing anything!"
A middle-aged official from the Ministry of Justice next to him said in a cold voice:
