Morning.
With Luo Wenshan taking the lead, other officials from the Luo Wenshan faction also stepped forward to impeach Su Yuanwu.
"Your Majesty, I am also impeaching Su Yuanwu, the Minister of Civil Affairs! If we allow these national thieves to continue to do whatever they want in the court, I don't know whether the court's surname is Zhou or Su."
This sentence really offended Su Yuanwu to death.
Others said it more harshly.
"That's right, Su Yuanwu colluded with the courtiers and even used all means to win them over. I really don't know who he accepted and how much benefits he received."
"Such corrupt officials must not become worms in the Zhou Dynasty!"< br>
"Wei Chen implores your Majesty to kill this official!"
"Su Yuanwu embezzled a lot of money, which was the money of the Zhou Dynasty. It is not a pity for this person to die. I think he should be punished." Executed!"
Su Yuanwu's face had become extremely ugly, but at this time he only had a cold face and said nothing.
He was very familiar with this scene. After all, wasn't it the same way the second prince was impeached by the civil and military officials of the dynasty before?
But now no one is willing to help him.
He has kept a low profile in the court for so many years, always keeping his tail between his legs and watching the intrigues of these people in the court with a cold eye.
Of course I have seen many ministers impeached to death.
So as early as when Zhao Han died, he already knew his fate.
But right now, no one was willing to stand up and say a word for him, which really made him feel extremely chilled.
Luo Wenshan and Donghuang Wenshan looked at the scene in front of them, and their hearts felt happy.
If Su Yuanwu can be squeezed out of the court, then they will gain more power.
Furthermore, the power of the second prince will also be greatly weakened.
Those people who were transferred away from the center of power by Su Yuanwu can also be rearranged by them.
It’s just that it’s still missing a little heat!
Donghuang Taining and Luo Wenshan looked at each other. They did not show any expressions of tacit understanding, but just watched the changes.
At this time, several officials from poor backgrounds also joined the army to impeach Su Yuanwu.
"Your Majesty, the minister wants to impeach Su Yuanwu for trying to bribe the minister and use his power and status to shake the minister's determination to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country!"
"The same goes for the minister! Su Yuanwu said a few days ago A large sum of money was secretly sent to the minister's house in order to win over the minister, but the minister did not dare to reveal it due to Su Shangshu's status."
"Your Majesty, Su Yuanwu has sent several singers to me before, in an attempt to plant an informant around me. I request your Majesty to investigate this person strictly!"
These officials from poor families are actually trying to trick Su Yuanwu. Dirty water.
After all, Su Yuanwu was not very powerful even in the court.
But he is also a minister of the Ministry of Personnel. If he wants to win over these officials, he does not need to spend money or give women as gifts.
As long as he says a word, these people are willing to work for him.
But now Su Yuanwu has become the target of public criticism. Even if these officials from poor families have received favors from Su Yuanwu, in order to protect themselves, they will naturally impeach Su Yuanwu.
Not to mention that His Highness the Second Prince also gave them a few hints about this matter, so naturally they did not feel any guilt at all.
People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.
Compared with His Highness the Second Prince and Su Yuanwu, they can clearly tell which one is stronger and which one is weaker!
For a time, almost all civil and military officials in the court impeached Su Yuanwu. It can be said that Su Yuanwu at this time was not a human being inside and outside.
Not only the censor of the Eastern Emperor and the people of Luo Wenshan were frantically impeaching him, but even the people of the second prince were adding insult to injury.
Su Yuanwu sighed in his heart, not knowing what to say at this moment.
The second prince, who was standing in front of the civil servants, quietly looked back at Su Yuanwu, with a sneer on his lips. From the beginning, he never regarded Su Yuanwu as his own.
Because the second prince knew very well that Su Yuanwu was able to tolerate it in the court for so many years in order to gain greater power one day in the future.
His ambition is not small at all!
The second prince thought that Su Yuanwu knew how to be forbearing and that he was his uncle.
In addition, the other party's ambitions were so great that he could not control them, so he had been fighting with Su Yuanwu.
He didn’t want him to have to accept Su Yuanwu’s mercy after he became the emperor in the future!
The second prince does not want anyone to step on his head, including his uncle Su Yuanwu, and even the current emperor, his biological father, Emperor Zhou!
"Your Majesty! I have presented the evidence. Su Yuanwu colluded with court officials, accepted bribes, and showed off his power. The crime is increased to one level. Your Majesty, please convict this person!"
At this time, Donghuang Wenshan stood up Come out and speak loudly.
So many officials are impeaching Su Yuanwu, and now they are just waiting for him to stand up and let the emperor make a choice.
Emperor Zhou had been watching with cold eyes just now, but when he saw what happened behind him, he became more and more alert and worried.
He also did not expect that Su Yuanwu would be impeached by all the officials of the imperial court.
Originally, the Emperor planned to resolve this matter in a peaceful manner.
But when he saw that even officials from poor families joined in the crusade against Su Yuanwu, he couldn't help but glance at the second prince.
Obviously, the second prince was also involved in this matter.
Although the second prince has not said a word in court today, these officials from poor families actually listened to the second prince's orders.
Everyone pushes down the wall, the general trend is irresistible.
Emperor Zhou sighed in his heart. No matter what, Su Yuanwu was an old minister after all, and he had never fought against him.
He felt very sorry for this relationship between monarch and minister.
"Su Yuanwu, do you know your guilt?"
Emperor Zhou's eyes turned cold and he stared at Su Yuanwu.
The originally noisy political hall also became completely quiet.
Many officials knew that since Emperor Zhou said such words, it meant that he agreed to expel Su Yuanwu from the court.
Su Yuanwu sighed first, then walked out of the queue, knelt on the ground respectfully, took off the black gauze hat on his head and placed it in front of him.
"My lord, I have nothing to say...but let me hear what your Majesty has to say!"
He has endured in the court for so many years, always acting like a coward with his tail between his legs, and now he can only do it for Keep the last bit of dignity for yourself.
Of course he did not admit to these crimes. After all, all he did was actually serving the second prince.
It's a pity that he has been abandoned by the second prince.
There was no emotion or anger on Emperor Zhou's face, but there was clearly a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Su Yuanwu, you colluded with the courtiers and embezzled huge sums of money. You are really a worm to the country. According to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty, you should be beheaded in public."
"But for the queen's sake, I can spare you a life. Order. "
"It is my decree that Su Yuan will be dismissed from the post of Minister of Civil Affairs from today, and he will be exiled for three thousand miles and will never be hired. His family's wealth will be transferred to the national treasury, and his family members will be expelled from the capital. "
When Su Yuanwu heard the emperor's decree, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was not beheaded in public, at least he could survive for a while.
It’s a pity... After being exiled for three thousand miles, it will be difficult for him to return to Beijing! (End of this chapter)
