The court officials, like Emperor Jianchang, no longer wanted to hear her attacks again and again.
They were exhausted and had been tortured by this grand court meeting. They were like frightened birds, afraid that Tao Yuwei would attack them.
Which bastard spread the rumor that Princess Anle was a brainless, stupid fool?
She dealt a precise blow to the political enemies who impeached her own father, without showing any mercy, and displayed her domineering and protective personality to the fullest. Standing in front of all the officials and the emperor, she did not hold back at all in her sarcasm and ridicule towards certain people.
Today, she acted arrogantly and attacked them again and again in the court, which was like waving a knife at them!
Her seemingly reckless and reckless behavior actually helped her father turn defeat into victory and reverse the unfavorable situation.
With the help of Xiao Yuwei, not only did he bring down the Sixth Prince, but he also took the opportunity to punish all enemies who targeted the General's Mansion.
We can't offend her. She is too vindictive and even directly asked His Majesty to hold Wang Xiang, the head of all officials, accountable again.
What a hatred of evil!
Their eyes all turned to Tao Zhihong, who was standing there, letting his daughter help him kill people, and they were very envious.
Like Princess Anle, some of her own children acted recklessly outside under the banner of the family, but at the critical moment, they did not have the courage of Princess Anle to defend her family at all costs.
Wang Lingchang didn't expect that Tao Yuwei would turn against him again.
Before he could speak, Emperor Jianchang spoke with a cold face.
"Prime Minister Wang, shouldering the heavy responsibility of the imperial court, is incompetent in governing and unfair in his dealings. He even colluded with traitors like Tian Linwen and Wei Jinghou, falsely accusing loyal officials and nearly causing a catastrophe. Therefore, he is fined for six months' salary as a warning to others."
Emperor Jianchang spoke personally, and Wang Lingchang was so frightened that he immediately knelt down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your mercy!"
What he did was too obvious, and Princess Anle had already found a loophole. It was irreversible, and self-defense was useless. This time, he managed to escape unscathed.
Compared with His Majesty the King of Han, your Majesty's accountability to him is already particularly lenient. He was careless. In the future, he will be more cautious and wait for the right opportunity!
Seeing that Wang Xiang had broken his habit of no longer shirking his responsibilities and had knelt down to accept the punishment in a very tactful manner, Emperor Jianchang did not continue to hold him accountable.
He understood very clearly that he still needed the assistance and governance of some ministers, and he could not blindly eliminate dissidents and purge his factions just because of minor mistakes. This would be very detrimental to his governance.
Tao Yuwei glanced at Wang Xiang, who slid down to his knees and accepted the punishment, and rolled her eyes at him.
Some people are bullies who only bully the weak and fear the strong. When faced with absolute power, they are very soft-hearted.
It is obvious that His Majesty is quite magnanimous towards this man and did not strip him of his official title or let him go.
Wang Lingchang still dared to make trouble and secretly target her family. She would never show mercy.
"If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave the court!"
At this time, the eunuch Zhao Chong reminded the court officials who were as quiet as a chicken.
When everyone heard his reminder, they felt that they finally had hope and saw the hope of leaving the court.
They were finally able to leave the palace. They felt that this court session was too long and they had been in the court for almost a whole morning.
Not only did they suffer from back and leg pain, some people could hardly hold their breath and almost wet their pants.
Just when they finally breathed a sigh of relief and waited for His Majesty to announce the adjournment of the court session, Tao Zhihong, who had been calm and composed, spoke without looking away.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty. I have discovered that someone produced a fake military token and used it to impersonate me and recruit private soldiers."
He already had an idea of who was behind the plot against his eldest nephew.
Originally, we were going to pull that person out and present the evidence to Your Majesty.
Bring that man to justice.
But today, his daughter tried her best to argue for him in front of His Majesty and the court officials, and defended him without giving in, which moved him.
His daughter helped him clear his name, and he couldn't let her hold him back and leave hidden dangers for himself.
Taking this opportunity, he decided to put the interests of the country above his own and tell the truth about what his nephew Tao Baichuan had done to help outsiders, in order to avoid being charged with rebellion and being implicated in Tao Baichuan's actions.
Tao Zhihong knelt down and confessed, "Someone imitated the military token Your Majesty bestowed upon me and recruited soldiers in my name. I sent someone to secretly follow that person and discovered that he had actually entered a shop called Qiancheng Pawnshop in South City and never emerged."
"I request Your Majesty to send someone to seal off the Qiancheng Pawnshop and apprehend those who plotted treason."
"I have failed to keep the military seal in my care. I beg Your Majesty to punish me. I am willing to resign my position as the Great General, let the wiser ones serve in the court, and return to my hometown to live a leisurely life in the mountains."
Tao Yuwei widened her eyes and looked at her father who was kneeling in the middle of the hall with an expression of disbelief.
"Father, isn't your lifelong wish to crush the Northern Barbarians and drive them out of the entire Qilian Mountains, restoring peace to the Great Zhou and allowing the people to live and work in peace and contentment?"
Is Dad planning to blow himself up and confess that my cousin Tao Baichuan colluded with outsiders and recruited soldiers for rebellion?
Tao Yuwei felt that Tao Zhihong should not be that stupid.
With his father saying it himself, it is difficult to clear himself of the suspicion that he has his own army, is greedy for power, and is secretly plotting a rebellion.
Xiao Lichen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, glanced sideways and said at the right moment, "After the General Guarding the Nation discovered this anomaly, he informed me of it. I did find out something about the Qiancheng Pawnshop. Last night, during the city's martial law, a suspicious person entered and left the Qiancheng Pawnshop."
"As for the thief who stole the National Defense General's military token, I have verified that he was General Tao's nephew, Tao Baichuan. As for the person who instructed Tao Baichuan to steal General Tao's military token, he must be the owner of the Qiancheng Pawnshop."
Tao Yuwei saw that Xiao Lichen was so supportive.
She always speaks for her father, but her father is not an easy person to deal with either.
[Great! Dad made preparations in advance and reported Tao Baichuan's misdeeds to Xiao Yuwei. Your Majesty has no reason to punish the General's Mansion.]
The court officials no longer knew how to express their miserable and uncomfortable mood.
Today, wave after wave of incidents were exposed in the court, shocking and frightening them again and again. Now, their little hearts have reached their limit and can no longer bear such a big impact.
Who in the court wants to rebel again?
Everyone looked at each other, wondering in their hearts who was secretly planning all this and wanted to cause chaos in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Thinking of this, they didn't want to stay any longer, because they had been standing for several hours and were almost incontinent.
Some people really can’t hold on any longer, their stomachs are churning and aching, and they are about to poop their pants.
Let me go back to the court and take care of my physiological problems first!
Some old men tried hard to tighten their lower bodies, fearing that they would burst into diarrhea and spray feces all over the court.
