Chapter 1187: The Autumn Revenge
Prince Rong was dumbfounded.
Why?
Why did the Phoenix Seal suddenly appear?
He had been planning for so long, could it be that all this was wasted?
Prince Rong cannot accept such an outcome!
"Your Majesty, this is impossible! The Phoenix Seal was lost long ago and no one has ever seen it. It must be fake!" Prince Rong blurted out.
The civil and military officials were shocked and their expressions became a little subtle.
Some of them actually had some doubts in their hearts.
After all, no one has ever seen the Phoenix Seal, so it's possible that someone might have forged it.
The emperor's seal has been fake for so many years, hasn't it?
Xuanyuan Jin said coldly: "I'm afraid it's Prince Rong himself who hopes that this Phoenix Seal is fake."
Prince Rong naturally hoped that the Phoenix Seal was fake, but he just couldn't admit it.
Prince Cheng'en immediately chimed in, "Need I say more? Of course it's true! He had bad intentions to begin with. He's probably hoping the Emperor will issue a confession so he can exploit it and stir up trouble!"
King Cheng'en hit the nail on the head.
Prince Rong was holding his breath and ignored the sarcasm of Xuanyuan Jin and Prince Cheng'en. He just stared at the phoenix seal in Emperor Tianxi's hand.
It seemed that if he stared at it like this, the Phoenix Seal would become fake.
Emperor Tianxi was not angry.
"Since Prince Rong thinks it's fake, then go forward and verify it." Emperor Tianxi said leisurely, "My dear ministers, please also go forward and take a look."
Emperor Tianxi was not afraid of verification by others at all.
To put it bluntly, I wish everyone would come and verify it.
In this way, he can be more proud and more proud.
This would also further demonstrate God's affirmation of him and cover up the negative impact caused by the theft of the jade seal.
After hearing what Emperor Tianxi said, Prince Rong strode forward immediately without caring whether it would offend the emperor's majesty.
Seeing this, the other ministers hesitated for a moment and then gathered around.
Regardless of whether this phoenix seal is real or fake, it is an opportunity to broaden your horizons, isn't it?
If you miss this opportunity, you will miss this store!
This is probably the only chance in this life to worship the Phoenix Seal up close.
Don't miss it!
Then all the ministers, whether kneeling or standing, came over.
The Phoenix Seal is of course real!
The civil and military officials are not blind. The unique jade quality is clearly the same as that of the jade seal.
Coupled with the unique carving technique and the arc on the handle that can be embedded with the jade seal, anyone who has seen the jade seal can conclude that this phoenix seal is authentic.
Prince Rong's heart completely sank.
The ministers witnessed the authenticity of the Phoenix Seal and once again flattered Emperor Tianxi.
After Emperor Tianxi accepted everything, he looked at Prince Rong.
Prince Rong shuddered and immediately knelt down to apologize.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I just felt that the appearance of the Phoenix Seal was too strange, so I was suspicious." Prince Rong defended himself, "I am loyal to Your Majesty and to Dayan. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
"I see?" Emperor Tianxi sneered, "I'm not foolish! Pass on my decree. Prince Rong has repeatedly made mistakes in his words and deeds. He will be fined one year's salary, confined to reflect on his mistakes, and required to copy ancestral laws for three months!"
As soon as Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, Prince Cheng'en showed an expression of disbelief.
This is too light!
Speaking of which, Prince Rong was so excited today that he almost had the words "ulterior motives" written on his forehead, but the Emperor just lifted him up high and put him down gently...
Not only was King Cheng'en puzzled, but many court officials were also puzzled.
Xuanyuan Jin's beautiful phoenix eyebrows wrinkled slightly. He glanced at Prince Rong with a thoughtful expression.
"I thank the emperor for his grace!" Prince Rong bowed in thanks.
Emperor Tianxi looked at the other court officials again.
The hearts of many court officials were lifted.
"Zhang Mingdong, as the Minister of Rites, has neither inner virtue nor outward appearances. He is dismissed from his post and will never be employed again..."
"Minister of Justice Li Xiuyuan embezzled and accepted bribes, shielded criminals, and oppressed the people. He was dismissed from office and handed over to the Dali Temple for investigation and prosecution..."
"Ministry of Revenue Qin Deli..."
Following Emperor Tianxi's words, the court officials' legs weakened, their faces turned pale, and they fell to their knees on the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I am wronged..."
Several ministers who were dismissed from their posts cried bitterly and kowtowed desperately.
If they were crying, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, begging the emperor to write a confession of guilt, that was just a formality.
Now I kowtow sincerely, wishing I could die so that the emperor would take back his decision.
"Bang bang bang", blood immediately appeared on the forehead.
Several imperial guards came forward, with a murderous air, and pulled several court officials away.
Several court officials struggled and cried.
"Your Majesty... Please have mercy..."
The sound became farther and farther away, and smaller and smaller, but it seemed to be knocking heavily on people's hearts.
Especially those from Prince Rong's lineage, all of them were terrified and broke out in cold sweats.
Emperor Tianxi dealt with several court officials with swift and decisive action.
Interestingly, the reasons are quite shocking.
There was no impeachment or evidence against him, but Emperor Tianxi just said it.
It seemed like these crimes had long been in Emperor Tianxi's mind, but he had never dealt with them.
For a moment, the civil and military officials became more and more frightened the more they thought about it, and they all felt that their own pigtails were in the hands of the emperor.
By the way, those who can reach their position as officials have more or less done some things that are not to be revealed.
Now, the emperor's actions are obviously a warning to them!
Many court officials who had knelt down and made their last protests began to regret their decision.
I regret it very much!
After all, no one wants to lose their job or their life.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianxi punished several court officials and put an end to the incident.
Prime Minister Zheng stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the matter of the Imperial Seal is extremely complex. I believe that we should order the three government offices to conduct a full search!"
Emperor Tianxi nodded and immediately issued an edict.
In the past, Emperor Tianxi was afraid of causing unrest in the court, so he could only send people to search secretly.
Now we don’t have to hide it anymore and can search for it nationwide.
Anyway, this matter will soon be known to the world.
To avoid causing trouble, the sooner we find them the better.
Even if it is, dig three feet into the ground!
Emperor Tianxi issued a series of decrees, and for some reason, he looked at Tang Bao.
Why can’t Fuya find the jade seal?
It seems that he made a wrong bet this time.
