"Your Majesty, I wish to impeach Lord Shen Zhixiu."
"He actually secretly used food and fodder to win over the Northern Frontier soldiers, intending to buy their hearts."
"Venerable Chen holds a high position of power, and this move is suspected of subverting the imperial order."
After Censor Jin finished speaking, the whole hall was in an uproar.
Is Elder Shen starting to plot his hand over military power? This is no small matter.
If it is really confirmed, not to mention Elder Shen, the entire Shen family will collapse in an instant.
Shen Zhixiu looked puzzled. What on earth was going on? If he remembered correctly, Censor Jin was the Crown Prince's man, but most people didn't know about it.
The prince secretly won over a lot of people, but he did not show it on the surface, just waiting to use them at the critical moment.
It seems that the prince is determined to take action against him this time, otherwise he would not have thrown out Censor Jin.
Emperor Xuande frowned and looked at Censor Jin, "What do you mean by that? Speak clearly, don't make me guess."
Censor Jin said loudly, "Your Majesty is very perceptive. I have received news that a few days after the grain and grass were robbed in the Northern Frontier years ago, Lord Chen sent people to deliver a large amount of grain and grass to the Northern Frontier."
"I have asked the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War, but they are all unaware of the matter."
"I can't figure out why Lord Shen paid for this out of his own pocket."
"But I don't believe he has no ulterior motives. After much thought, I'm afraid he's after military control of the Northern Frontier."
"Prince Ning is still young, and there's no guarantee he won't be deceived and do something foolish. Your Majesty, please investigate this matter thoroughly. Otherwise, I'm afraid that if something goes wrong, with Elder Shen's talent and knowledge, the country will be ruined."
A sneer flashed in Shen Zhixiu's lowered eyes. Censor Jin actually didn't forget to praise him.
They say that with his talent and knowledge, the country is in ruins. Doesn't that mean that his power is too great, to the point of shaking the foundation of the country?
Emperor Xuande couldn't believe it. Did Shen Zhixiu really use his own money to support the war in the northern border?
Based on his understanding of Shen Zhixiu, he would not do such a thing.
Even if I really did it, I wouldn't hide it.
So he didn't scold Shen Zhixiu, but continued to ask Jin Yushi, "Where's the evidence? Impeaching the current cabinet's deputy minister is not something you can just talk about."
