"Then explain to me where these two thousand taels of silver came from!"
In fact, Emperor An had long disliked Wu Yong, but he also knew that the Wu family was very close to Prince Xiang, and that any action against them would have far-reaching consequences. Without evidence, even as the emperor, he could not take action against him.
And since Jing Zhe gave him this opportunity, he naturally wouldn't miss it.
"His Majesty…"
Wu Yong glanced at Emperor An, then looked at Su Mowu, who glared at him. He then shook his head.
He sighed, as if he had already guessed his fate.
He knelt on the ground and cried out, "Your Majesty, I know my crime!"
"General Sui."
"arrive!"
"Strip him of his official post and imprison him in the imperial jail!"
"yes!"
Subsequently, Sui Shouren, accompanied by his personal guards, took Wu Yong, whose face had turned ashen, away.
At this moment, Emperor An said in a deep voice, "Do you have any objections?"
These words were naturally not spoken to the talented scholars below; they were merely intellectuals and could not influence Emperor An's decisions.
“Father, Wu Yong’s corruption and abuse of power are a done deal, and I have no objection.”
"That's what Crown Prince Su Moyan said."
"Your subject has no objection either!"
Xiangwang Su Mowu followed closely behind, but his heart was filled with bitterness.

But this time Wu Yong confessed to the two thousand taels of silver, and with the evidence caught red-handed, there was no room for leniency.
The loss of such a key player is incredibly painful.
