Chapter 75 You are a bunch of trash
"When did the Cabinet have the power to decide the affairs of the Heavenly Family?"
As he spoke, he looked at the Prime Minister Pei Yuanzhong: "The Cabinet supports the emperor's power. Have you forgotten? You know where the imperial seal is."
As soon as the words "Heirloom Seal" were uttered, the atmosphere in the court clearly shifted. Xie Xun, seated on the throne, was unaware of what was happening and simply sat there, his head lowered, playing with the corner of his clothes. He knew nothing about court life; his mother had taught him not to speak without permission during a meeting.
Xu Surong was sitting next to Xie Xun. When Yuan An mentioned the imperial seal, her expression suddenly changed. Yuan An didn't look at her when he spoke, but she knew that Yuan An was hinting at something.
He recalled the late emperor's will that was taken out by the East Factory after his sudden death: the imperial seal should be given to Princess Yuan'an. The new emperor is still young, so he hopes the princess can act on his behalf.
Xu Surong thought that after Yin Ning's death, the throne would pass to her son Xie Xun, but she didn't expect him to have a trick up his sleeve and keep the throne firmly in the hands of the Xie family. If it weren't for this will, she could have used the name of the empress dowager to cover up everything, and the Xu family would have been able to interfere in politics. What would the Xie family have to fear?
Yuan An said coldly, "I am acting as the governor of the court on the orders of my brother the Emperor. I wonder whose orders the Lord Minister received to halt the Shenjiying project without authorization and even claim that I am not concerned about Marshal Lu. The Lord Minister is pushing Marshal Lu into a desperate situation!"
Yuan An's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a more dignified air than the late emperor. She continued, "Southern Xinjiang is known for its Gu poisons, making it difficult for our Yin army to handle them. Your Excellency, instead of focusing on strengthening yourself, is urging me to marry off my sister?"
"Why did the late emperor support a bunch of you worthless people? Where's the integrity of the scholars you talk about? Do you think you can win the hearts of the people by reasoning alone?"
Anger gradually appeared on Yuan An's face, causing none of the ministers in the audience to dare to speak. Pei Yuanzhong has always been outspoken, but in front of Yuan An's anger, he did not dare to act rashly.
Ming Yi, the person involved, was also in the court. Although she and Yuan An were not born of the same mother and had a significant age difference, they both lived in the palace and referred to each other as sisters, but in reality, they were not very familiar with each other. She had only heard of the deeds of this sister who was always talked about in the palace.
Yuan An was a legitimate daughter. After the previous emperor ascended the throne, she married Lu Qianshan, the Marquis of Bravery. One of them lived in southern Xinjiang and the other in Shangjing. Although they seldom met, they lived in harmony with each other.
Seeing that the disaster was caused by herself, Mingyi said: "Royal sister, I am willing to marry far away."
Everyone was stunned by these words. Pei Yuanzhong's eyes lit up even brighter. Since the person involved was willing, it would be much easier to talk. He immediately knelt before Ming Yi and said loudly, "Third Princess, you are so righteous. Dayin is proud to have someone like you."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone in the cabinet followed Pei Yuanzhong and knelt down.
Xie Chengyan looked at these people coldly, his eyes fixed on Yang Zheng in the corner. Yang Zheng was also looking at him, his eyes were calm and indifferent, as if he had something on his mind, making it difficult to understand. He followed the cabinet members to thank the Third Princess, but did not say anything.
As if he noticed Xie Chengyan's gaze, he also glanced in Xie Chengyan's direction.
Yuan An argued forcefully on the stage, but Ming Yi was too soft-hearted to even seize the opportunity. After the court officials dispersed, leaving only the Xie family, Yuan An slapped Ming Yi in the face, his expression intimidating without anger. "I'm giving you a way to make a living, and you're going against me, aren't you?"
