The emperor went to court and all the ministers knelt before him.
The emperor's eyelids were twitching when he woke up this morning, and he vaguely felt that something big was going to happen.
Especially now, my eyelids are twitching even more.
"Everyone, get up."
The emperor spoke, and all the ministers stood up.
Seeing the person still kneeling on the ground, the emperor instinctively knew something was going to happen.
"Jiang Fengyuan, I ask you to get up."
Jiang Fengyuan: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
"What do you want to report?"
Jiang Fengyuan's eyes were firm: "I want to report Duke Anguo for killing loyal officials and taking human lives lightly."
Duke Anguo's pupils dilated.
"Your Majesty, this is slander!"
The emperor stared at the two people below with sharp eyes.
"Killing loyal officials? Taking human lives lightly?"
"reconciliation?"
Jiang Fengyuan stood up and said, "Your Majesty, there is a hidden story behind the Chen family's incident. I have now found out that it was the Duke of Anguo and the Duke of Liguo who teamed up to frame the Chen family for corruption, causing them to be banished from the capital."
The ministers were in an uproar.
It's not decent for a son to ask his father to help him.
It’s the same old thing.
Several ministers were immediately dissatisfied.
Minister of Works Rong Dazhan was the first to stand up and oppose it.
"General Zhengyuan, it is not decent to report your biological father. Besides, there are witnesses and evidences of that incident. Isn't it too late to overturn the case now?"
"Yes, even the biological father can report it. Who knows if what he said is true."
Many officials watched from the sidelines.
After all, it is rare for a son to report his father and sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice.
Moreover, I heard that Jiang Fengyuan was kicked out of the house by Duke Anguo.
If it was revenge for personal gain, it would be inappropriate for them to take sides rashly.
Duke Anguo steadied himself and forced himself to calm down.
"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Justice still has records of what happened back then. The Chen family embezzled 300,000 taels of silver. Did I ask them to accept bribes and embezzle the disaster relief money?"
He looked at Jiang Fengyuan: "I know you resent your father for driving you out, but you can't make a fuss about the serious matter, and it was His Majesty who personally issued an order to exile the Chen family."
Very good, Jiang Fengyuan's eyes were full of hatred.
Jiang Yuansheng, who was standing in the last row, walked forward slowly.
He looked indifferent, as if everything in the world was nothing but passing clouds in his eyes.
When he saw him, Duke Anguo was stunned.
The young man, like the bright moon and green pine, should have been the future of the Duke's Mansion.
"Your Majesty," Jiang Yuansheng bowed and took out a thick memorial from his sleeve, "This is the whole story of the Chen family incident. Please take a look at it."
Eunuch Cao came down personally and presented the memorial to the emperor.
The emperor opened the letter and glanced over it, his brows becoming more and more solemn.
"Jiang Fengyuan, do you know what this means if it is true? Do you have any evidence?"
Jiang Fengyuan naturally knew that the punishment on the Chen family was ordered by His Majesty himself.
Overthrowing at this time is undoubtedly a challenge to the imperial power, dissatisfaction with His Majesty's judgment, and questioning of the almighty Emperor.
"Of course I know, but I want to clear the Chen family's name even more."
His Jiang family owes too much to the Chen family.
The emperor's eyes grew colder, and a low-pressure atmosphere spread over the court.
The pressure was so great that the ministers could not breathe.
Duke Anguo secretly felt lucky that he had personally asked His Majesty for instructions. That decree was issued by His Majesty himself, and it would be difficult to withdraw it now.
Jiang Fengyuan's move is undoubtedly like an egg hitting a stone.
His Majesty will not allow anyone to question his decision.
Besides, Duke Li is dead, and Your Majesty will certainly not believe Li Ping's confession alone.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Fengyuan is my son. He openly disobeyed the imperial order. I apologize to Your Majesty on his behalf."
The Korean man stood on one side, his beard was about to blow up with anger.
He wanted to move, but Jiang Fengyuan held his feet tightly, making him unable to move.
Jiang Yuansheng took out the confession from his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, this is the confession of Li Ping, the suspect involved in the case, and the confession of the assassin sent by Duke Anguo to Liangzhou."
After the emperor saw it, his expression became serious.
"Call Li Ping."
Li Ping came up and glared at Duke Anguo.
"Your Majesty, when I was working for Duke Anguo with my fellow apprentices, it was he who ordered us to put 300,000 taels of silver in the Chen family's warehouse. Afterwards, he killed us, and I barely escaped."
He has survived until now thanks to the protection of his fellow disciples.
Imperial Censor Zheng Guang stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, Li Ping is a disciple of Duke Anguo. His son and his disciples reported him together. There must be something hidden. Please order a detailed investigation of what happened back then."
The emperor was thinking when Eunuch Cao whispered in front of him, "Your Majesty, Jiang Yuanxi is here."
The emperor was stunned for a moment, but saw the prince coming in with a baby in his hands.
The baby was holding a piece of dried meat as long as his arm in his hand, chewing it with great concentration.
"Your son greets His Majesty."
Jiang Yuanxi also knelt down, but he was too fat and couldn't kneel down.
She had no choice but to turn over, lie down and look at the ceiling.
The prince suppressed his laughter and picked up the baby.
"Father, I agree to thoroughly investigate what happened to the Chen family."
"I agree, I agree." Jiang Yuanxi held up the jerky and agreed very much.
Jiang Fengyuan and Jiang Yuansheng wondered why Yuan Xi followed them.
And he was being led by the prince.
"Nonsense!" Rong Dazhan, the Minister of Industry, said angrily, "How can a child appear in the court?"
He recognized this doll. It was she who caused him to be kicked out of the family.
Jiang Yuanxi felt many eyes falling on her, some scrutinizing, some resentful, and some grateful.
Especially the one at the front.
His eyes were about to pop out.
Seeing the familiar lines on his head, Jiang Yuanxi walked up to him.
"So you are the one whose ancestors cheated on you, and this generation has passed it down."
