Chapter 80 Forcing the Palace

Who will tell me who I am, where I am, and why I became Li Huan's accomplice?

Ma Yongcheng, who was laughing angrily, only pointed at Luo Wenxiang with trembling fingers and said, "Luo Wenxiang, you actually blasphemed our family's innocence out of thin air, our family remembers you!"

Speaking of which, Ma Yongcheng bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, the old slave's words are true. Whether it is Li Huan's residence or the eighteen young eunuchs, there are documents and files that can be checked. The old slave is the master!"

Zhu Houzhao frowned involuntarily, looked at Luo Wenxiang rather displeasedly and said, "Luo Wenxiang, this is the court meeting, with all civil and military officials present, since you say that Ma Yongcheng is Li Huan's party, do you have evidence?"

Luo Wenxiang couldn't help being taken aback, he just said it casually in a moment of desperation, there is no evidence for it.

He is a majestic censor, what evidence is needed to impeach Ma Yongcheng, a eunuch, and he doesn't need to think about it, he knows that Ma Yongcheng must have an unusual relationship with Li Huan, otherwise, how could Ma Yongcheng help Li Huan to deal with the aftermath.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Wenxiang bowed his hands and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I... I have evidence, but I just need time to investigate and confirm."

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but said angrily: "It's ridiculous, you are a majestic supervisor of the censor, don't you know what a crime it is to slander others without evidence?"

Luo Wenxiang insisted: "Your Majesty knows clearly, I am loyal and dedicated to the public, and dare not have the slightest selfish distractions, how could I frame others!"

Looking at Luo Wenxiang's upright and dignified appearance, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help being laughed out of anger. He ignored Luo Wenxiang, but looked at the cabinet elders and asked, "What do you think?"

Glancing at each other, Xie Qian sighed softly in his heart, and secretly scolded Luo Wenxiang for not doing his job well, and impeaching Li Huan would be fine, why didn't he collect more charges against Li Huan, why did Ma Yongcheng get involved halfway through.

It was all discussed, taking advantage of this great court meeting, to impeach Li Huan with all his strength, it is best to convict Li Huan of the crime, so as to completely dispel the emperor's idea of ​​reorganizing the bodyguards and controlling Jin Yiwei.

But now it is a bad start, the charges of impeachment are too far-fetched, and Dongchang has come forward to take down the most deadly item of raising eunuchs. It is a bit unrealistic to take the opportunity to crucify Li Huan.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Xie Qian bowed his hands to Zhu Houzhao and said: "The Supervising Censor Luo Wenxiang's investigation is not strict, and the evidence is not clear. It is really dereliction of duty. I implore His Majesty to punish him with a salary of one year, and order him to think about his mistakes while waiting for his post, so as to serve as an example to others! "

Obviously, Xie Qian only said that Luo Wenxiang was dereliction of duty, but did not mention the issue of him framing others, and the punishment was nothing more than a fine for his salary. For Luo Wenxiang, it had no influence at all. Save it.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and turned his gaze to Liu Jin, who coughed lightly and said with a smile, "I'm afraid Mr. Xie Ge's move is inappropriate."

Now the relationship between the cabinet and the director of ceremonies has deteriorated extremely because of Liu Jin's coming to power. The cabinet tried every means to get rid of Liu Jin, and Liu Jin also tried every means to get rid of Xie Qian, Liu Jian and others.

The relationship between Xie Qian and Liu Jin is the worst, and the fight between the two has almost become apparent. Xie Qian scolded Liu Jin more than once in the cabinet for being ignorant and incompetent, and bewitching the emperor is a eunuch who will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Similarly, Liu Jin clamored more than once among the supervisors to teach Xie Qian to be a man.

At this moment, when Liu Jin spoke, Xie Qiandang glanced at Liu Jin with disdain and snorted coldly, "The pillar of our country discusses matters with the emperor. You, an eunuch, have no right to speak in front of Fengtian Palace!"

The literati's words are like knives, and these words almost pointed at Liu Jin's nose and cursed, you are just a dead eunuch, and you are not worthy to speak in front of Fengtian Temple.

Liu Jin was so angry that he almost spat out old blood, and pointed at Xie Jian with wide eyes, wanting to yell at Xie Jian.

There was a light cough, and one of the officials stood up among the officials. It was Zhang Cai, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials who had just taken office.

Only Zhang Cai said: "Your Majesty, my minister Zhang Cai, I have something to say."

Zhu Houzhao first glanced at Liu Jin, then nodded slightly and said, "Please tell me, Ai Qing."

Zhang Cai is one of Liu Jin's new recruits, and Zhu Houzhao knows this. Now Zhang Cai is obviously helping Liu Jin by standing up.

After all, Liu Jin was speechless by Xie Qian's words. In front of civil and military officials, even he, the emperor, was not good at supporting Liu Jin before Fengtian Temple.

Zhang Cai cupped his hands at Xie Qian and said, "Mr. Ge, I think that Luo Wenxiang is the supervisory censor, but he speaks nonsense and insults people's innocence at will. How can such a person be qualified to be the supervisory censor?"

Xie Qian frowned, and said in extreme disgust: "No one has made mistakes. Luo Wenxiang's intentions are good, he is dedicated to the public, and he is selfless. Shouldn't he be given a chance to correct his mistakes?"

Zhang Cai said with a sneer: "Ordinary people can make mistakes, but as a supervisory censor, he can't."

Speaking of which, Zhang Cai bowed down to Zhu Houzhao and said, "I affirm that Your Majesty will remove Luo Wenxiang from the position of supervisory censor and demote him to a commoner, so as to serve as an example to others."

Following Zhang Cai's words, among the officials, several figures also bowed down together and said: "I would like to ask Your Majesty to punish Luo Wenxiang severely."

Looking at those figures, the faces of the cabinet members and Luo Wenxiang were all ugly. Among them were Jiao Fang, Duan Jiong and others. They were all officials who were attracted by Liu Jin these days and turned to Liu Jin.

Liu Jin stared at Xie Qian viciously, with resentment and complacency in his eyes.

Xie Qian ignored Liu Jin at all, took a deep breath, and said to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty, Luo Wenxiang is absolutely selfless. I implore Your Majesty to be lenient and benevolent. Please spare him! If Your Majesty really wants to punish him, even the old minister Let's punish together."

Looking at Xie Qian who was kneeling in front of him, Zhu Houzhao's big hands were holding on to the armrest of the throne, which was basically forcing him, the emperor.

The more he thought about it, the more angry Zhu Houzhao's eyes flashed. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and several elders bowed down and said: "I beg your majesty to be lenient!"

Zhu Houzhao looked at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, and stood up angrily, with annoyance and disappointment on his face, pointed at the elders and said, "You... all right, all right, I will do as you wish." , retreat!"

Flicking his sleeves, Zhu Houzhao left angrily, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and others hurriedly followed, while Liu Jin watched the emperor leave in a rage and could not help but smile at Xie Qian and Liu Jian who were still kneeling on the ground Said: "hehe, you are really the pillars of the country, you have made His Majesty so angry, our family admires..."

Xie Qian got up, and said with a sneer: "The eunuchs, it's you treacherous people who alienate Your Majesty from us. We were entrusted by the late emperor to assist Your Majesty. We will not let you and other villains deceive Your Majesty, so that Your Majesty makes mistakes again and again!"

How could Liu Jin be Xie Qian's opponent based on words alone, so she could only sneer and say, "Let's wait and see!"

A court meeting broke up unhappy. Looking at the backs of Zhang Cai, Jiao Fang, Duan Jiong and other officials leaving with Liu Jin, thinking of the emperor leaving in anger, Li Dongyang, the chief minister of the cabinet, couldn't help feeling dizzy and couldn't help it Rubbing his forehead and looking at Xie Qian, he said, "Yu Qiao, as subjects, we really shouldn't persecute Your Majesty like this!"

Xie Qian stroked his beard and said: "Brother Bin, this remark is wrong. We are responsible for the important task entrusted by the late emperor. Your Majesty is young, so we have the responsibility to teach. If there is a mistake, we should advise, so that we can not ignore it." Bear the late emperor's entrustment!"

Seeing that Xie Qian and Liu Jian looked like this, Li Dongyang couldn't help sighing softly: "Forget it, I will go to the palace to see His Majesty later, I hope His Majesty can understand my good intentions!"
