Chapter 575 Impeachment of Chu Jinyan
Emperor Chengde narrowed his eyes slightly, and shot a sharp gaze at He Xiong. His voice was as deep as thunder: "This is your handwriting and your seal. You tell me that it was not you who put it there? Do I look like a fool?"
He Xiong knelt on the ground, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to his head.
Just as he was shivering in fear, he saw a pair of boots embroidered with clouds in gold thread, and then a pair of distinct fingers picked up the memorial in front of He Xiong.
He Xiong turned his head and met Chu Jinyan's handsome face with a smile on his lips but a murderous look in his eyes. He was immediately choked with fright again.
"Eight...Eight-Eight His Highness..."
Chu Jinyan ignored He Xiong's shocked expression. He held the memorial in his hand and flipped it open. His cold voice rang out faintly in the silent hall: "Forming a clique for personal gain? Lord He means that I should not associate with ministers in the court. If that's the case, father..."
As he spoke, Chu Jinyan glanced at Chu Chengli with a half-smile, and then looked at Emperor Chengde: "If it is considered forming a clique for personal gain, then you, father, must investigate it carefully. I have only been back to the capital for a short time, and I am not as old as my second brother, who grew up in the capital and has known you all for a long time."
He Xiong knelt on the ground, cold sweat oozing out of his forehead, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to his head.
What I meant was, if what I did was called forming a clique for personal gain, then Chu Chengli was much more evil than him.
Chu Chengli had been standing quietly by the side watching the show, but when he heard this, he glared at Chu Jinyan in anger and said, "The person who impeached you was Censor He, why are you holding on to me, Eighth Brother?"
Did he think that he was the one who instructed He Xiong to do it?
Humph, knowing that his father dotes on him, how stupid must he be to ask someone to do such a thankless task? Or he could just be impeached. It would be useless to talk until solid evidence is produced.
I don't know which idiot came up with this idea.
Duke Anguo, who was secretly called a fool by Chu Chengli, was standing aside with an indifferent look on his face.
He had someone imitate He Xiong's handwriting to write the impeachment letter, and having He Xiong's seal on it was just a small matter. The purpose was naturally not to compete with Chu Jinyan, but He Xiong.
If you dare to plot against his son, you must be prepared to bear his wrath.
What does He Zhimiao’s death have to do with the Song family? They thought they could make amends by doing this.
Pooh!
Do you think Song Nanchuan is a soft persimmon?
Suddenly, Chu Qingyun's mocking voice sounded: "Eighth brother, what Censor He said is that you are close to me, and your crime is the same as forming a clique for personal gain."
When He Xiong heard this, his heart trembled with fear and his face turned extremely pale.
"No, I did not say that."
He made incoherent excuses, and a feeling of impending death tightly wrapped around him.
how so?
He clearly did not submit this memorial.
Who wants to harm him?
He Xiong's mind was in a mess and he couldn't calm down to analyze the situation. The pressure from Emperor Cheng De was so heavy that he almost fell to the ground.
Chu Jinyan seemed to be unable to see that He Xiong was about to be frightened, and a joking voice sounded faintly: "Is that so? From now on, we brothers should sever our relationship, otherwise we will be accused of forming a clique for personal gain if we have a good relationship."
"Nonsense." A shout rolled through the hall like thunder, shocking all the officials into silence: "Instead of severing the brotherhood, why don't you sever the father-son relationship with me first?"
Plop, plop!
As soon as Emperor Chengde finished speaking, the people in the hall immediately knelt down one after another, shouting, "Your Majesty, calm down."
