Chapter 1180 Evidence
After the emperor read it, he was furious.
"Really, I'm just sick. They dare to have so many thoughts. They don't take me seriously." The emperor slapped a few confessions on the table and said angrily.
The second prince said, "Your Majesty, the case of assassinating Prince An and his son has come to light. Next, how do you plan to punish the murderers?"
The emperor thought for a while and said, "This matter should not be taken seriously for the time being. When the morning court resumes in three days, I will tear apart their faces in front of hundreds of civil servants and military officers."
"Okay, I'll make arrangements now," the second prince said.
The emperor glanced out of the dim window and said, "Uncle Er Wang, this matter is not urgent. Let's resume the morning affairs and wait for the order to be issued in two days. This time, I will catch them off guard."
Two days later, the emperor recovered from his illness and was going to attend the morning court in person. As soon as this news came out, hundreds of civil and military officials, big and small, were shocked.
When the emperor was seriously ill, the civil and military ministers were restless and frightened all day long, fearing that something might happen to the emperor.
Later, when the emperor was ill for a long time, some people couldn't sit still and began to secretly join the party, planning to wait for the emperor's death to support the young princes in waiting for the throne.
At this time, everyone wants to have the power of following the dragon to illuminate the family, carry forward the family, and honor the ancestors.
But now that the emperor has recovered from his illness, their hope of using the Dragon Power is gone. Not only is their hope shattered, but if the emperor knows about it, he will be suspicious of him.
You know, once the emperor becomes suspicious, it will be even more difficult for anyone to gain the emperor's trust in the future.
In other words, the emperor no longer trusts you. From now on, either the emperor will find an excuse to fuck you, or he will stay in your original position until you retire and return to your hometown. In short, not only will your hopes be dashed, but your future will also be ruined. Ruined.
Those ministers who secretly stood aside and joined the party, it would be a shame to beat their chests and regret, but the matter has come to this, and it is too late to regret.
But those ministers who had not yet taken a side and were considering waiting and watching were filled with joy. Fortunately, they did not take a side, otherwise, the family would be destroyed.
As for those ministers who were loyal to the emperor to the end, they were excited and happy, and even invited friends to have a drink at Juxiang Tower.
Also, after the news came out that the emperor had recovered from his illness, those black-clad assassins who wanted to secretly target Prince An's family all retreated within just an hour.
This news was also sent to the palace by Yinlin Guards an hour later.
The emperor sneered, "I am still alive, so their plan will fail."
The Zhao family is not stupid. Once the news of his recovery spreads, if the Zhao family wants to continue to get rid of the Chu family and his son, then it is very likely that they will become a scapegoat for the Xiao family.
The Xiao family has made such big moves during this period. As the emperor, it is impossible for him not to notice. Once the Xiao family falls, who can save the Zhao family?
Maybe, the Zhao family will be pushed out by the Xiao family and used as scapegoats.
Hum...
The emperor said disdainfully, "If the Zhao family wants to get rid of the Chu family and use the power of Conglong to stand in the court again, it depends on whether I agree or not."
After the wounds on the emperor's body were removed, they were replenished by Chu Cong's medicinal diet six times a day. He slept well every day and was well served by Chu Cong. The emperor had gained a lot of weight in the past few days, and his face had become a little rosy. No longer as pale as a ghost before.
By the time he went to court, he looked very good. Apart from being a little thinner than before, he didn't look much different. After all the civil and military officials knelt down and shouted long live long live long live, long live long live, long live long live, the emperor did not ask them to stand up immediately as before. He just ordered Eunuch Li to bring a chair over for the second prince to sit, and also ordered that he should be more than ten years old. The confidant ministers stood up, while other ministers were still kneeling.
They knelt for a long time. After they did not hear the emperor's voice asking them to get up, many people could no longer kneel and secretly raised their heads to peek at the emperor. The eyes of several ministers happened to meet the emperor's cold gaze, which frightened them. He quickly lowered his head, not daring to peek anymore.
And those ministers who had ulterior motives and ulterior motives became uneasy when they saw that the Emperor was not kind. Their kneeling bodies were trembling slightly, and there were big beads of sweat on their foreheads, but they didn't. Dare to wipe it with your hands.
After the two sticks of incense were burned and they were almost kneeling, the emperor spoke and said, "Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Hundreds of civil and military ministers shouted.
Ministers who have always lived a comfortable life have never knelt for such a long time. After kneeling for such a long time, their legs became numb, and they felt uncomfortably tight when they moved, and their calves twitched and hurt.
After finally getting up, I heard the emperor's angry voice, "I've just been sick for two months and haven't gone to court for two months. How dare you mess with me? Look at the good things you have done..."
Countless pieces of paper fell from the sky. They did not dare to hide, so they had to reach out to catch them. When they took them, many ministers with weak hearts were so frightened that they fainted on the spot.
It turned out that what was written on these pieces of paper were all evidence of the crimes they had committed on a daily basis, ranging from abusing power for personal gain, leading a filthy life, and family chaos, to serious crimes such as committing crimes, robbing women, accepting bribes, and occupying people's land... …All these evidences were discovered by the people of Yinlin Guard during these three days.
Of course, all the ministers investigated by the Yinlin Guards had joined the party on the side. Before the emperor ascended the throne, he had been persecuted for joining the party on the side and almost died at the hands of the Lu family party. Therefore, the emperor hated the most. Just stand aside and join the party.
This is why the emperor wholeheartedly agreed to keep all his princes and princesses by the Queen Mother's side.
Regardless of whether he likes those concubines or concubines, they are all his children and of royal blood. He does not want his sons to end up like him and the second and third princes when they grow up, with brothers fighting. Life and death, in the end, only one can be allowed to live.
That would be such a miserable ending.
He didn't want to see it.
However, this time he was seriously ill, and his good ministers were looking forward to his early death day and night so that they could support his bastard to ascend to power.
Moreover, because of the different objects of support, several teams formed, tearing his hundreds of ministers into pieces, and turning even a good court into a mess.
This court was the one he had just stabilized. It had only been stable for a few years, and it was like this again.
The emperor was really angry. When he was angry, he wanted to do a general cleaning, so he asked the people of Yinlin Guard to check the evidence of the crimes of these civil and military officials.
As long as you are an official, no matter how upright and upright you are, you cannot make any mistakes. Even if you make no mistakes at work, what about your family? There will always be some mistakes at home, right?
As long as there is a mistake, he can use this mistake to catch them all.
