"The Emperor and the Empress Dowager haven't revealed what's inside yet. How do you know it's related to the Prince of Libei, or that this is a frame-up against you?"
Prime Minister Shen snorted coldly, looking at Song Jiang, who was prostrate on the ground, with the air of a victor. However, he was completely unaware that he had violated Feng Guche's taboo, and he did not notice the Emperor's dissatisfaction and murderous intent in his eyes.
"This..." Prime Minister Shen's words were indeed like a bolt from the blue, directly waking Song Jiang up.
Suddenly realizing that he had exposed himself, Song Jiang's mind went blank for a moment, and he collapsed to the ground, his body going limp.
"Your Majesty, Empress Dowager, it seems that the contents of these secret letters are indeed true. The Prince of Libei was indeed framed by a villain. I urge Your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"
Prime Minister Shen spoke with righteous indignation, and Marquis Mu echoed his sentiments from the side.
"The letter mentions more than just Song Jiang. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly."
Although Feng Guche already had the idea of using this matter in his mind, he deliberately did not speak because he was extremely dissatisfied with Prime Minister Shen's ignoring of him. He wanted to see what Prime Minister Shen would do next if he did not agree.
Feng Guche's ambiguous attitude and refusal to nod made Prime Minister Shen anxious. He hurriedly stepped forward and knelt directly in front of Feng Guche.
"I beg Your Majesty to order a reinvestigation of this matter! To restore justice to the Prince of Libei and to restore order to the court."
As Prime Minister Shen kowtowed and pleaded for his life, Marquis Mu also knelt down. Then, the officials whom Prime Minister Shen had previously allied with, seeing that the time was ripe, also rose from their seats and knelt down in front of the Emperor.
"I request Your Majesty to reinvestigate this matter."
"I request Your Majesty to reinvestigate this matter."
The officials on the ground knelt down in a dark mass, unanimously demanding that Feng Guche reinvestigate the matter.
The chill in Feng Guche's eyes intensified, and his murderous intent towards Prime Minister Shen reached its peak at this moment.
He had long harbored the idea of weakening the Shen family, but he never expected that the powerful Shen family would have no intention of restraining themselves. Today's incident, in which he brought a group of ministers to make such a scene, was no different from coercing and holding him hostage.
Thinking of this, Feng Guche, enraged and ashamed, could no longer contain his anger and slammed his hand hard on the table.
Feng Guche's anger startled all the officials present.
Lord Mu secretly raised his head, his expression slightly strange as he exchanged a glance with Prime Minister Shen beside him. Prime Minister Shen's expression also belatedly turned awkward.
The officials kneeling on the ground were not only officials from the Shen family and the Marquis's faction, but also officials who were in office when the tragedy of the Prince of Libei's family occurred and were very clear about the matter.
Mu Chenshuang, Shen Nanzhi, and the others deliberately did not participate today, but even though they were sitting in their seats, they were still somewhat worried in the face of Feng Guche's anger.
At this moment, the only one who felt most relaxed, and even wanted to laugh, was probably Feng Moran.
Looking at everything before him, his narrow eyes were full of smugness. In his view, Prime Minister Shen and the others had done the most foolish thing today, and Shen Nanzhi and Mu Chenshuang would pay the price for their foolishness in the future.
"Now that the evidence is conclusive, when have I ever spoken without reinvestigating? What are Prime Minister Shen and Marquis Mu's intentions this time? Do they want to use the power of the ministers to influence my decision? Are they trying to force me to abdicate?"
