The fisherman said: "The two generations of heads of the Feng family are too proud and underestimate you, but your boy's target this time is not the Feng family."
Jiang Fan said: "I just want to take advantage of the Feng family's neglect of me, but it's just this time. When Feng Chen comes back, with the power of the Feng family, they will definitely find out what happened quickly, and I really can't hide it anymore. That’s when it becomes really difficult to deal with.”
The fisherman shook his head, pondered for a moment and said, "I think I should tell you something. The two generations of heads of the Feng family are not really difficult to deal with..."
A big event happened in Yangdu the next day.
The recent turmoil over King Xiaoyao finally caused great changes in the court.
Early in the morning, the three great masters, Duke Yingshan of Anguo, Duke Dingguo Fan Yuqi, and Duke Yang Lin of Fu, joined forces with four marquises, twelve uncles, sons, barons, and three hundred and thirty-seven important officials of the Qin State. Seven hundred and five representatives of the noble clans knelt down outside the Zhengyang Palace. Representatives of the Three Dukes and Four Marquises entered the palace and presented the Letter of the People, imploring Your Majesty to punish lawlessness and reshape the imperial court.
Immediately Yangdu was in an uproar. You must know that this number means nearly 30% of the top temples and nobles in the Qin Kingdom. Any emperor must face it.
Especially the Book of Ten Thousand People they brought. Once this thing comes out, it means that the relationship between Baixin and His Majesty is extremely tense. No one has dared to ignore it since ancient times. Even Zhou Taizong, who was at the height of his power, once issued an imperial edict for this.
The words of their memorial are sincere. No matter how meritorious Jiang Fan may have been, his acceptance of the imperial canonization has demonstrated his disobedience, and his actions are all facts. Nowadays, the government and the public are in turmoil, the people are indignant, and the country is shaken. I would like to ask your majesty. Severely punish Jiang Fan to rectify the law of the country.
When the news came out, the whole Yangdu held its breath, waiting for the outcome of the matter.
Above the court, Ying Shan held up the memorial and bowed to face the supreme emperor. His palms were wet and his back was soaked with sweat, but he remained calm and did not even tremble when he breathed.
He understood that this was the last battle and he could not lose it no matter what.
Ying Wushuang sat high up, everyone lowered their eyes, and no one dared to look at her expression.
In addition to being targeted at the regent who always seems to be hidden in the clouds but has overwhelming power, this also means that since the empress ascended the throne, this is the first time that the ministers have forced the palace, and it is related to her own marriage.
The silence of the empress put unparalleled pressure on the civil and military officials. The atmosphere in the entire court seemed to be suppressed by a mountain, and almost no one dared to breathe normally.
After a long time, An Guogong seemed to be unable to bear it, coughed, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, I have no intention of offending His Majesty's divine power. However, the outside world is already in chaos. For the sake of the Qin Dynasty, I risk my life to beg Your Majesty to deal with it in time." Peace of mind..."
The empress finally spoke, her voice was calm, and no emotion could be heard.
"Dong Anguo wants me to kill the regent?"
"I don't dare, I don't dare..." Duke An Guo said hurriedly: "Although there are different opinions from the outside world, it must be true that the regent has made great contributions to our Qin Dynasty, but it is true that... he has done many wrong things, and public opinion It is difficult to disobey, and I hope that your majesty will put the overall situation first and temporarily ask the regent to leave Daqin to give an explanation to the people, and we will make further calculations after the truth is found out."
"Oh... expulsion..."
The empress' voice was still calm.
"It's a temporary departure, a temporary departure... It is really inappropriate for the regent to accept the canonization from the imperial court. This western land was conquered by our ancestors of the Qin Dynasty in collaboration with countless founding fathers. We cannot disturb the people's hearts with a light canonization from the imperial court. Your Majesty ,A small leak will sink a great ship."
The empress said slowly: "Then...how will the uncle who owns the property under the regent's name plan to deal with it?"
Ying Shan felt a little relieved. Just now he deliberately said that Great Qin was built with the help of countless nobles, just to wake up the empress. Now that the empress called her uncle, he felt a little more at ease.
"Of course...it will be nationalized."
He understood very well that even though Jiang Fan's property made the world jealous, it was definitely not something that he and others could figure out, otherwise he would just be seeking death.
"Returning it to the state, my uncle is devoted to our great Qin..."
"Ying Shan is not only a member of the Ying family, but also a minister of the Qin Dynasty. He should think about the Qin Dynasty and His Majesty." Ying Shan said hurriedly.
"My uncle is indeed very loyal." The empress remained calm and said it casually.
"Don't dare, don't dare."
"Then...as my uncle said, how should I deal with my marriage?"
Ying Shan was slightly shaken, but at this time, he had no way out, so he gritted his teeth secretly and said: "Of course... it should be cancelled."
"Oh——" The empress did not comment and looked at the other two dukes and four marquises: "Do you think so too?"
The two princes and four princes were silent for a while, and Yang Song was the first to come out: "Report to your majesty, the Qin Dynasty cannot be in chaos because of one person. The ministers and ministers reported by Anguo Gong seconded the opinion."
Immediately, several other people also came out: "I second the proposal——"
The empress' tone remained unchanged: "Do those outside also mean this?"
Fan Yuqi said: "Your Majesty, all the officials outside are from various places. The famous families in Da Qin are loyal to our Qin country and to my Majesty. Naturally, we hope that Qin will be peaceful and your Majesty is well..."
The empress nodded slightly: "It means, everyone is here."
Everyone was startled when they heard this, but Li Xiu lowered his eyes and took a step forward with a calm expression: "Your Majesty, the real master has not arrived yet."
The empress said: "Prince Regent, yes...how could he not be here?"
Li Xiudao: "Yesterday the regent wrote a letter stating the facts and prepared conclusive evidence to be presented to His Majesty."
The empress nodded slightly: "The Qin Dynasty attaches great importance to laws, and the laws are based on facts. In this case, I will convey my decree and declare that the regent will go to court and confront him in court."
The Qi Gonghou looked a little unnatural, evidence? What evidence has Jiang Fan prepared? The people from the Feng family had made it clear that as long as they went into Mortal and Lishan to search Jiang Fan, he would be unable to say anything. However, if the empress wanted to confront him in the court, she seemed to be unable to say anything. You can't just raid your home just to get a conviction.
They knew that there might not be anything wrong with Jiang Fan, and that everything was probably the empress's instigation. However, these facts were laid out in plain sight, and there was no way they could defend themselves against all the talk. Although they didn't believe that Jiang Fan could reverse the disadvantage, things were always a little bit wrong...
At this moment, Zhao Gao suddenly rushed into the court hall in a panic and knocked his head on the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something serious has happened. The Regent..."
Li Xiu turned around and said, "How unbecoming is it to be in such a panic in the court hall! What's the matter with His Majesty the Regent?"
Zhao Gao calmed down: "Your Majesty, the Prime Minister, the Regent - assassinated!"
With one word, the court was in an uproar.
Li Xiumei asked: "The regent was assassinated?"
Zhao Gao hurriedly said: "Yes, Mortal Residence was attacked this morning. Many people were injured. If the formation was not strong, it would have been broken by the thieves. His Highness the Regent wanted to go to court to seek an audience, but he did not want to be ambushed by a group of villains halfway. Who is coming? They are all strong martial artists, and the regent’s bodyguards are outnumbered..."
