C387 The Reaction of the Empire
Although Ye Jingsheng was sent to Mountain Crossing to educate the people, his students were still a very powerful force in the imperial court. The leader of this force was the Minister of Personnel, Zhou Puyang.
Liu Junxiong sat on the throne, glanced at the officials below and said, "What's the matter with the morning assembly today?"
At this moment, Imperial Censor, Xue Shijie, stepped forward and said, "I have a memorial."
Liu Junxiong nodded at Liu Gonggong. Liu Gonggong said sharply, "The Emperor has an imperial edict."
Xue Shijie quickly said, "This official impeach the Prince with a different surname, Zhao Yiming. There are three charges for this official's impeachment. First, he arbitrarily transferred the land given to him by His Majesty, the Huainan's Banyan City, to his family. This was disregarding the grace of His Majesty.
Second, His Majesty bestowed him with the title of Prince of the opposite gender. Not only did he not know how to be grateful, he even ran to the Stellar Empire. Not only did he have a good relationship with Grand Princess of the Stellar Empire, but he also had a good relationship with him.
Furthermore, he had also arranged an engagement with the newly appointed princess of the Stellar Empire, Li Wenwen. He had also arranged the war Mechanism Apparatus that the Feng City had displayed during the war. He provided a portion of the ___ to the Stellar Empire. This was clearly helping our enemies. He was a traitor of the empire.
Thirdly, he didn't care about the kindness of the saint. He actually gave the rare treasure, the Skyhill Snow Lotus, to the alchemist Great Grand Master to concoct a spiritual pill to treat War God and Sun Zhihao's injuries.
It was said that the effect of the pill was extremely good. Sun Zhihao's injuries had almost fully healed. He has always been the main pillar of the Stellar Empire's military, the enemy of our Fallen Moon Emperor. Moreover, the late emperor died in his hands."
Another censor, Han Yuan, walked out and said," This official completely agrees with Lord Xue's impeachment opinion. Zhao Yiming indeed did not care about the grace of Saint. This official believes that we should take him down and execute him as a warning to others. "
At this time, an official walked out from the side. It was the Minister of War, Jin Ningshan. He said with a loud voice, "This official believes that these two lords are speaking nonsense.
Prince Zhao transferring his fiefdom to the family. This can only be said that he is filial. What is wrong with that? Furthermore, the engagement between him and the princess of the Stellar Empire was his personal matter. Even from the perspective of the nation, it could ease the tension between us.
As for the drawings of the war Mechanism Apparatus that he gave to the Stellar Empire during the Feng City war, they were originally his. Who he gave them to was none of your business.
At this time, you guys are still chattering. Why didn't I see you guys during the war in Feng City? Why didn't you guys lend a helping hand?
I feel that all of you disciples of the Confucianism will only stab each other in the back. You are the ones who will bring disaster to the country and the people. His Majesty will follow the example of the Stellar Empire and expel all of you from the Imperial Court."
Feng Liang coughed lightly and said," Minister Jin, don't take such a huge blow. Only these few scums need to be expelled from the Imperial Court. It is better for the rest of you.
His Majesty felt that what Minister Jin said was right. Although Zhao Yiming was a Royal Highness with a different surname, he did not hold power at all. To put it bluntly, he was still an unfettered cultivator of the Jianghu.
Let's not talk about whether he did the right thing or not. Even if he did the wrong thing, what can we do? He can kill a Grand Master Stage warrior with three palm strikes. Can we do anything to him?
Moreover, the forces behind him are complicated. So what if we can shout a few words here? We can't do any real harm to him. Why do we have to fight him?
Right now, he is only providing the Mechanism Apparatus to the Stellar Empire. It isn't a big threat to us. After all, the Huainan has started producing these Mechanism Apparatus in bulk.
Furthermore, the Stellar Empire's ability to produce these Mechanism Apparatus is limited. I believe that the Mechanism Apparatus they produce will be placed on the Rising Sun Empire's defensive line first. In fact, if they become stronger, it will be beneficial to us instead.
If you really push Zhao Yiming into a corner, don't forget that he has two sworn brothers. He is the boss of the Rising Sun Empire's Hero Tower. If he were to give these Mechanism Apparatus to the Rising Sun Empire... Then we're the ones having fun."
Han Yuan quickly said, "What the prime minister said makes sense. That's why we have to control him. Actually, there is a way.
We can first send people to capture all of the Zhao Family in Banyan City. If Zhao Yiming doesn't come back, we will execute all of them. I don't believe him, and I don't care about my family at all.
After that, we can also punish Huainan. Isn't Zhao Yiming the most loyal person? When that time comes, the entire Huainan will be plunged into misery and suffering. I don't believe that he won't surrender."
As soon as he said those words, the entire Imperial Court was shaken. Imperial Censor, Xue Shijie, who was standing beside him, immediately shouted, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
Feng Liang was also furious as he said, "How dare you say such words? Could it be that your Imperial Censor is at this level? I suspect that you are a spy sent by the other empires. I hope that the Emperor can take him down."
Liu Junxiong also shouted, "Guards, arrest this spy and hand him over to the Ministry of Justice for investigation. You must not tolerate adultery."
The Minister of Law Zhong Wenyou quickly stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. This official will definitely arrest the rest of his accomplices."
Liu Junxiong looked around and said, "Send my order to celebrate the marriage between Prince Zhao and the Stellar Empire's Princess Li. We will waive the taxes of the Huainan for ten years. Also, raise the grade of the Banyan City to First Level, and officially merge the two nearby cities into the Banyan City. Withdraw from the dynasty! "
After saying that, he stood up and walked away angrily. He didn't even give these ministers a chance to speak.
The officials walked out one by one, and Feng Liang called for Zhou Puyang and Zhong Wenyou. The three of them went to the side and said, "Han Yuan must die. Also, choose a few people from your Ministry of Personnel to be his accomplices."
Zhou Puyang nodded and said, "Your subordinate understands what you mean. I will go back and send the few people who have been in close contact with him to the Ministry of Penal Affairs. They are spies from the Rising Sun Empire."
Zhong Wenyou also nodded and said, "This guy is really incapable of accomplishing anything. He is good at causing trouble. Everyone knew that Chief Zhao's family had been annihilated, and he had kidnapped a branch family to threaten others. Isn't this clearly showing that he wants to tear off all pretenses of cordiality with the other party? "
Feng Liang shook his head and said," This is only one of them. The Zhao Family doesn't only have Zhao Yiming. Don't forget that there was also Chief and Jian Chenzi. This guy was like the sun in the sky in the Profound Sky Sword Sect. If he really did such a thing, it would be the same as the Profound Sky Sword Sect. None of us will be able to get through this."
Zhong Wen nodded and said, "I understand what Prime Minister means, but I wonder how far it will go?"
Feng Liang said with a sneer, "Since we have already made a move on him, of course we have to eliminate the root of the problem. We don't want their family to have a genius in the future and come back to seek revenge on us."
