joke.
How could the emperor who was the best at balancing things get rid of his most useful assistant, Shen Shoufu? Without him fighting against those ambitious ministers, how much more trouble would he, the emperor, have to deal with?
It would be different with Prime Minister Shen around. Prime Minister Shen would restrain those ambitious ministers, make them wary, encourage them to make progress, and use them for his own purposes.
As for the fact that the Shen family's carriage disregarded the safety of the people and ignored innocent civilians yesterday, the emperor would definitely say something in the court.
When Chief Minister Shen heard that he was being accused, he felt so wronged that he immediately knelt on the ground and cried, "I deserve to die. I failed to teach my daughter well, and let Yan Bao encounter danger. She even resisted. She should be like Lord Wang's daughter, facing the evildoers who intended to defile her, and should accept it submissively."
"Ah, Lord Wang's daughter was raped in the street?"
"This thug deserves to die for humiliating a young lady from a noble family."
"Is Miss Wang okay?"
The father of Miss Wang, who was being cared for, Lord Wang's face turned red and white: "Shen Shoufu, don't talk nonsense. My daughter didn't go out yesterday, how could she be bullied? You are ruining my daughter's reputation. What is your intention?"
"Then what is your intention in ruining my reputation?" Shen Shoufu pressed forward.
Lord Wang didn't know how to refute for a moment.
Shen Shoufu snorted coldly and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, this is what happened yesterday. Yan Bao went to burn incense..."
When the emperor heard that the matter was related to Yan Bao, he knew that it was definitely not Yan Bao's fault. Yan Bao was not a cruel person, nor would he bully others by taking advantage of his power.
The emperor asked, "How is Yanbao? Are you frightened?"
Chief Minister Shen looked distressed: “I heard that you had a nightmare last night. It seems that you were very scared.”
The emperor's expression changed. "How dare you do this in broad daylight? Where is that person now?"
Shen Shoufu replied: “He was sent to the yamen.”
The emperor glanced at the people from the Dali Temple.
The Dali Temple officials immediately stepped forward and wrote down the results of yesterday's interrogation on a memorial. The emperor read it at a glance and angrily slammed the dragon throne: "According to the law, let them do slave labor and mine, and the fight will not stop until they die."
Shen Shoufu shouted: "Long live our emperor! Eliminating harm for the people and upholding justice is the welfare of the people and the blessing of the ministers. I will devote my life to it and die for it."
emperor:"......"
Shen Shoufu will say more, I love to listen!
