553 Blocking the ministers alone (3)
“Do you all want Emperor Wen zu’s helplessness to repeat itself?”
Emperor Yuan jing squinted his eyes. He no longer looked indifferent, but turned into a King with great power.
Amazing!
Minister sun and the chief of the Supreme Court raised the corners of their lips. This sneaky idea was wondrously used. It was as if a line had been drawn in the Imperial court. On one side was a scholar from the Imperial College, and on the other side was Yun Lu Academy.
How should one choose in the battle for the orthodoxy?
If there were any more civil officials who wanted to speak up for Xu New Year, they would have to consider their own position. They would have to consider if their words would cause them to turn their backs on the court and the officials.
Imperial censor of the left, Yuan Xiong, almost laughed out loud. This way, Wei Yuan had no choice but to step down. There were some things that scholars couldn’t say. But he, the leader of the eunuch’s party, could, because he was not a scholar from the imperial examination.
What would Chief Assistant Wang do if Wei Yuan left the stage? How would the rest of the neutral officials react?
Dragging Wei Yuan into the water, then using the power to defeat him, making him compromise and give in to the Imperial Censorate’s control, this was the Imperial censor of the left’s recent important plan.
“Hmph!”
Hmph! at this time, a cold snort filled with monstrous anger sounded in the hall.
Everyone turned their heads to the voice. It was the invisible Prince of honor. This Prince wearing a dark yellow Dragon robe stepped out. His face was ashen, his hair was white, and the crow’s feet at the corners of his eyes were deep. He looked extremely old.
Seeing him step out, the heart of Vice Minister of War Qin Yuandao, who had just been emotional, suddenly sank.
“200 years ago, this Prince had never heard of any scholars from Yun Lu Academy doing anything to harm the princess. Is this the so-called loyalty to the monarch and love the country that you Imperial Censorate scholars claim?”
“Hypocrite!” King Yu shouted.
Then, he faced Emperor yuanjing and bowed, “”Your Majesty, I don’t care about the truth of the imperial examination fraud case. I just feel that the officials of the Ministry of Justice are useless and incompetent.
“If they knew how to handle cases, my poor Ping Yang wouldn’t have died from injustice. If it wasn’t for the night watchman, Yin Gong, Xu Qi ‘an, who thoroughly investigated the case, I’m afraid that the injustice would still not have been redressed today.
“The imperial examination fraud case is of great importance. I hope that Your Majesty can re-examine the case and let the three departments judge it together with the watchman.”
Emperor Yuan jing frowned and hesitated.
“Your Majesty, my poor Ping Yang …” King Yu immediately cried.
Shameless!
Minister sun, the chief of the Supreme Court, the Imperial Censorate of the left, the assistant Minister of the Ministry of War, and the others ‘expressions changed. The case of the princess of Ping Yang was a thorn between the Civil officials and Emperor Yuan jing.
The assistant Minister of the Ministry of War told Emperor Yuan jing that the scholars of Yun Lu Academy were beyond his control. And now, King Yu was telling Emperor Yuan jing that the scholars of the Imperial College also had the intention to murder the imperial family, and they would put it into action.
Wei Yuan laughed in his heart. It was within his expectations that the brat would ask for Prince Yu’s help. However, he had a rough guess as to why Duke Cao would change sides at the last minute, but he had no way of verifying it now.
Although Xu ningyan was not good at factional disputes, he had a high level of comprehension and could see the situation accurately.
At this moment, Duke Cao and the rest of the nobles agreed, forming a resistance against the Civil officials.
Chief advisor Wang looked on coldly, but he was quite surprised. He had not expected the confrontation between the noble and the Civil officials.
Duke Cao and King Yu were not on the same side, and neither were these two with Wei Yuan, but it was an undeniable fact that they had joined forces.
Who was behind all this?
The mastermind behind the scenes clearly knew who his enemy was and thus launched a strategy to find a force that could compete with the ” enemy.
King Yu … The case of Princess Ping Yang … It was him? A guess flashed through chief advisor Wang’s mind. His face slightly paused for a moment, then returned to normal.
Minister sun and the others were shocked by the sudden change in the situation. If the case was retried and the Yamen was involved, all the plans would be in vain.
It would eventually lead to a stalemate.
Although Xu niannian couldn’t participate in the court examinations, who would care if Huiyuan could?
As an important backbone of the Royal faction, Minister sun kept winking at chief advisor Wang.
Big brother, what’s wrong with you? We’re fighting a bloody battle at the front, and you’re not saying anything at the back?
Wang shoufu noticed Minister sun’s eyes and frowned. From his point of view, he did not care about the outcome of the case. Firstly, Wei Yuan didn’t participate in the battle, and secondly, Xu Xin couldn’t represent the entire Yun Lu Academy.
If he really didn’t like it, he could just find an excuse to send it to a corner.
However, as the backbone of the Royal party, Minister sun was charging into the enemy lines. If he stood by and did nothing, it would chill the hearts of the people. This was the disadvantage of being a party.
Most of the time, he had no choice.
“Your Majesty, I do have a way to quickly end this case.” Chief advisor Wang stepped out of the ranks and bowed. He said slowly, ”
“As for whether Zhao tingfang, the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion, has leaked the question, we just need to try New Year’s wishing. His Majesty can summon him to the hall, and you can personally set a question for him to write a poem in front of all the Dukes.
“We’ll know once we try whether or not the” difficult road “was written by someone else. As for the classics and policies, the court examinations were just around the corner. Whether or not Xu niannian had real talent or not, the Emperor would personally decide after reading the articles.
if he’s really an idiot, it means that he leaked the question and cheated. He’ll be severely punished.
Emperor yuanjing stared at chief advisor Wang for a moment and said with a smile, “”Your words are reasonable, so we’ll do as you say.”
Minister sun and the others were overjoyed. Chief advisor Wang’s words seemed like he was trying to smooth things over, but it was obvious that he was biased.
The Emperor would personally come up with a topic to test the poems, and Xu niannian would compose a poem in the hall. In the entire Da Feng, the only person who could do this was the poet Xu Qi ‘an.
