As the plan progresses, all arrangements have begun to point to the same goal, and Xu Tianze is the most critical and the chess piece from beginning to end.
If Xu Tianze really left without caring, all their previous efforts would be wasted.
"I will tell you the plan and purpose." Seeing that Xu Tianze still did not turn back, Emperor Gan had no choice but to compromise.
After all, he is old and no longer has the courage he used to have. If it were in the past, he would have just asked Xu Tianze to get out and started a new plan.
When Xu Tianze heard what Emperor Gan said, the corners of his mouth curled up. He still won this round. Then he turned around, suppressed his mouth and looked at Emperor Gan with an expressionless face.
"Your Majesty, please speak. I am all ears." Xu Tianze came back again, looking respectful.
Emperor Gan snorted coldly. He just couldn't stand Xu Tianze's attitude of taking advantage of others but he didn't say anything. Instead, he began to explain his purpose and plan.
As Emperor Gan's words unfolded, the Crown Prince and Xu Tianze became more and more shocked. When they looked at each other, they saw disbelief in each other's eyes.
It was already dawn when this conversation ended, and there was not much time left before court, so the three of them simply sat in their chairs and drank strong tea in silence to refresh themselves.
When the time came, Emperor Gan and the other two stood up and walked towards the main hall. When they arrived at the court, they returned to their seats.
"The renovation of the imperial examination is almost finished. After that, it will be used to select talents. Do you have any suggestions, my dear ministers?" Emperor Gan sat upright on the dragon throne, looking down at the ministers in front of him.
"Your Majesty, I stand up to make a speech." Minister of Rites Yun Zheng stepped out of the queue and saluted Emperor Gan.
"allow."
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach King Xian, King Jing, Duke Zhenguo, and Supervisor Xu." Yun Zheng's eyes were firm as he listed a bunch of names in succession.
The other ministers were shocked when they heard who Yun Zheng was going to impeach, and then there was constant whispering in the court.
Everyone knows that the Minister of Rites is the Xian Wang's man, and that Supervisor Xu has a very close relationship with the Xian Wang. There have even been rumors that the Xian Wang likes Long Yang and has expressed his feelings for Supervisor Xu.
Now with this impeachment, could it be that the Minister of Rites knows that the virtuous prince has no hope of becoming the heir and has turned to someone else?
But even if he defected to someone else, by directly offending the two princes, Prince Xian and Prince Jing, didn't that directly show that he was on the side of the crown prince?
"Lord Yun, you can eat whatever you want but you can't say whatever you want. What do I have to be impeached by you, Lord Yun?" The wise king narrowed his eyes and made a gesture of crushing death with his hand.
Although this gesture was covered by the sleeves, it was still secretly seen by many people. They were silent for a while, looking at Yun Zheng with suspicion in their eyes.
You have to know that at the beginning, Yun Zheng was working under the wise king. Isn't Yun Zheng afraid that the prince will directly use Yun Zheng's handle to kill him?
"Second brother, this is the imperial court. Why are you threatening Lord Yun like this?" The prince pretended to be stupid and asked the wise king in confusion.
While asking, he repeated the wise king's gesture so that the other ministers could see it clearly.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, you may have misunderstood. Second brother was just shaking his arms to loosen up his stiff body. How could it become a threat?" Long Musi smiled and cooperated with the wise king. After all, he also participated in Yun Zheng's impeachment. If he did nothing, it would be too suspicious.
"Really? Could it be that the Crown Prince has become blind with his age?" The Crown Prince became a little uncertain after being interrupted by Long Musi.
When the other ministers heard the prince say that he was old, and looked at his appearance in his twenties, their faces twitched for a moment.
Even if the prince is old and his eyesight is blurry, then what about those of us who are truly old? Are we buried in the earth up to our necks?
"I think the prince has been too busy lately, and it's time for him to take a concubine." Song Yu smiled and changed the subject.
"It's still too early to talk about taking a wife, but the imperial examination is the most important thing now." The prince smiled and said that he is more focused on performance now.
When the many ministers and emperors heard the prince mention the imperial examination, there were only two words in their minds: idiot.
There is only one thing that Yun Zheng can impeach recently, and that is the imperial examination. However, it is not just Xu Tianze and others who appear in the Imperial Examination Hall, but also the prince.
Yun Zheng could have not mentioned it, but he revealed it directly himself.
"Your Highness is absolutely right. Since Lord Yun impeached several of us, it must be about the imperial examination. The Crown Prince is busy running around, so why doesn't Lord Yun take care of him?" Xu Tianze chuckled and asked the Minister of Rites instead.
It would be fine if he impeached one or two people, but he impeached everyone except the crown prince. Doesn't he look down on the crown prince?
"Ah? This." When the prince heard Xu Tianze's question, he looked embarrassed and knew that he had said the wrong thing.
"What Supervisor Xu said is true. Does Lord Yun look down on the Crown Prince?" Long Musi walked around the Minister of Rites twice in a very curious manner.
"He's staring at us like this, how could he not pay attention to the prince? I'm afraid he's just bullying the weak and afraid of the strong." Song Yu also mocked in the dark with dissatisfaction on his face.
"Your Majesty, I have always been a fair official. I hope Your Majesty will understand." Yun Zheng looked directly at Emperor Gan with an earnest voice.
"I haven't even mentioned the impeachment yet, but the two princes, the Duke of Zhenguo, and Supervisor Xu are already like this. They must know what I want to impeach and are deliberately changing the subject. I hope Your Majesty will make the decision for me." After Yun Zheng finished speaking, he kowtowed and knelt on the ground for a long time without looking up.
As for the pressure from the prince and his men, he did not refute it directly. Rather than letting them confuse the public and let his impeachment come to nothing, it would be better to plead directly with His Majesty.
It can also be regarded as a silent cry for justice to Emperor Gan, hoping to directly prove his innocence.
"You know that your impeachment is problematic, but you don't tell us the details quickly. Who are you trying to disgust by pretending to be loyal to the court?" Censor Liu rolled his eyes and muttered to himself.
But after Yun Zheng finished shouting, everyone was waiting for Emperor Gan's reaction, so the court became quiet, and naturally Lord Liu's muttering was heard by everyone.
When Emperor Gan saw that this troublemaker was actually trying to get involved, he snorted coldly, causing Yun Zheng, who was about to turn around, to shut up.
"My dear Minister Yun, what do you want to impeach these four people for?" The majestic voice of Emperor Gan came from above.
When Yun Zheng heard this, his face lit up with joy, and then he began to list the crimes of Xu Tianze and the other three.
"Your Majesty, I wish to impeach these four people..."
"Report~"
