Sheng Xiangya's worries became reality.
The day after the indictment arrived on the desk of the cabinet, memorials criticizing and impeaching the Duke of Sheng came overwhelmingly.
As the governor of Kyoto, Sheng Yuan is qualified to go to court. However, her predecessors basically only participated in the court meetings, so the current governor Sheng Yuan also follows the old rules.
But because of this, she didn't see the scene where many officials impeached the Sheng family that day.
"The Emperor asked the Sheng family to go to court tomorrow to defend themselves." Sheng Xiangxun was so angry that he kicked his stool and shouted, "The old man is already in his prime years. They are questioning such an old man with gray hair and beard. They are so shameless and vicious!"
He was furious, and Sister Shu and Kuang Qi, who had never seen the Lord of the Marquis Mansion lose his temper, were all taken aback.
Seeing that her two daughters-in-law looked unhappy, Mrs. Zheng hurriedly waved her hand and asked them to go down.
Sheng Yuan and Sheng Xin sat across from each other. The two brothers looked at each other and couldn't help but ask, "Daddy will go to court tomorrow too?"
Sheng Xiangxun snorted angrily at his eldest son: "If I don't go, will I have to rely on you and your uncle, who are both mouthy?"
After mocking his son, he changed his face when he looked at his little girl, and his tone was much kinder: "Sister Yuan will go tomorrow too, let's see how daddy fights back against those shameless things!"
"No, dad, you can't say that!" Sheng Xin didn't mind his father's different treatment, but he did mind his father's sullen words. .net
I think Sheng Xin has been a wise man for half his life. No matter where you look at it, it has nothing to do with the stuffy gourd!
"I am showing weakness to the enemy so that the emperor can sympathize with my grandfather and uncle!" Sheng Xin said plausibly, "After all, the relationship between the emperor and our family is well known to the world. If I am too strong, and the emperor continues to favor us, the spearhead from outside will We’re going to target Anthracene…the Queen!”
Her grandfather has not yet defended himself in court, but now Sheng Xin has come to the family to plead guilty.
Hearing the eldest son mention his eldest daughter, Sheng Xiangxun nodded: "Well...it makes sense!"
"But you are different. Tomorrow, at the court meeting, my grandfather will face off against those who are impeaching him. As a son, you can perform exceptionally well."
When Sheng Xin said this, he noticed from the corner of his eye that his younger sister was already gearing up, and she couldn't help but remind her repeatedly: "Sister Yuan, we two brothers had better keep silent tomorrow, so as not to seem like our Sheng family is too strong. My cousin is too strong, and I can't help the palace." The queen here is in trouble."
Hearing that it was unfavorable to her sister, Sheng Yuan immediately put down her half-prepared manuscript, nodded hastily, and promised: "Brother, just don't worry, I'm always emotionally stable, and I can definitely control my mouth."
"That's good." Sheng Xin opened the fan and shook it happily.
When the first ray of the morning sun shone on the red tiles of the imperial palace, all the officials were already standing in line, starting a new day of impeachment.
"I have this memorial..."
More than a dozen ministers came forward one after another, either to impeach Sheng Guo Gongfu for colluding with foreign enemies, or to impeach Sheng Guo Gongfu for having no authority or responsibility, and then to impeach Sheng Guo Gongfu for harming the country for private purposes... All of these crimes were more numerous than the number of these ministers. .
Sheng Yuan ignored the hidden or blatant glances directed at him, and focused all his attention on his grandfather.
Just like her father said, her grandfather is old and can't stand stimulation.
According to the procedure, before my grandfather came on the stage to prove his innocence, these accusers had to convict everyone in the Shengguo Palace after they had finished explaining the crimes of the Shengguo Palace!
Although the crimes they condemned were countless, standing by and listening to their unequivocal evil words also tested my grandfather's tolerance.
Thinking about the promise she made to her brother before, Sheng Yuan calmed down and focused her attention on her grandfather and father. If either of them fainted from anger, she could help them immediately.
Just thinking about it, suddenly a sharp voice suddenly appeared behind the calls of "removing the title", "demoting the throne", "paying tribute" and so on.
"The Sheng family has committed acts of disobedience. Whether they intentionally cooperated with foreign enemies or carelessly lost the tiger talisman, they are all unworthy of Chu, the imperial court and the emperor, and should be severely punished! The Sheng family is unworthy of the people and the country. How can the daughter of the Sheng family dominate?
In the middle palace? I should abdicate in favor of others and reflect on myself in the harem..."
"!!!" Sheng Yuan raised his head sharply and shot a sharp look at the guy who proposed to abolish the queen.
Not long after he took office, Chen Shaochou, Zhan Shifu of Zhan Shi Mansion, put forward his opinions impassionedly. Just when he mentioned that he would ask Emperor Yanping to reopen the draft to select noble ladies with both ability and political integrity to become the first emperor, he received a sharp elbow. It landed precisely on his cheek.
But before he could scream in surprise, he was grabbed by the collar.
"Sheng Wenzhen! Sheng Xiangning! How dare you be rude above the court!"
Sheng Yuan ignored the coward who only dared to jump in the crowd, and gave Chen Shaochou a slap in the face with the wat in his hand.
Her brother took the opportunity to let go, and with a sweep of his long legs, he stumbled over Chen Shaochou, who was covering his face and whining in pain.
The two brothers' eyes briefly touched, then they raised their arms in tacit agreement, stepped forward and kicked him as fast as possible.
"You are a spy sent by A Rong!" The two brothers kicked and scolded each other, trying hard to hit the target a few more times before others could react. "I told you to talk nonsense!"
"You, a lackey of Nuerhan, deserve to speak nonsense in the palace! I'll kick you again!"
"Stop! Stop it quickly!" Shou Fuyan never expected that the two Sheng brothers and sisters would dare to riot in public, so he was a little shocked before. When he came to his senses, he hurriedly ordered everyone to separate the three of them.
Anyu didn't expect Sister Yuan to do this. She told him to be calm and self-possessed before going to court!
But it doesn't matter, he is on the same page as her no matter what!
So after reacting, he rushed over immediately, opening his arms to block the colleagues who were about to rush forward, whether to break up the fight or to deflect the fight.
"Stop it! Stop it! Sister Yuan, brother, let this guy go for now! Wait until we find out whose money he took, and then ask the emperor and the cabinet to convict him of a serious crime!"
He shouted lively, but it might have been more convincing if he hadn't taken the opportunity to step on Chen Shaochou a few more times.
"Cough, cough! Mo, mo..." Before Emperor Yanping could finish his words, he covered his mouth, beat his chest and coughed in a low voice.
From the looks of it, he was silent for a while.
A smile flashed in Gu Yuncheng's eyes, and he counted silently for a while. It wasn't until he saw the waiter passing by with tea that he winked at several officials.
It didn't take long for several officials from the Sixth Section to snatch Chen Shaochou away from the fists of Sheng Yuan and Sheng Xin.
"Bah! You shameless villain!"
"Bah! You shameless Zhongshan wolf!"
Brother and sister Sheng Yuan and Sheng Xin put down their sleeves and did not forget to add one last sentence.
"It's too much to bully, bully, bully!" Chen Shaochou, with the same eyes as the iron-eating beast, was filled with grief and anger. With trembling hands, he screamed behind his colleagues, "I want to impeach you two! I would like to request your Majesty to severely punish you two thugs!"
