Cold sweat broke out on Zhou Tianfu's head, but he knew not to panic at this time and managed to keep his posture upright.
After a while, he raised his head, faced Chu Yanwu directly, and asked:
"Your Majesty, what do you mean?"
Looking at him like this, he turned out to be a lonely and loyal minister who had been wronged.
But Chu Yanwu didn't take this trick and said coldly: "Don't you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Tianfu's face was calm, and there was even a bit of sadness in his voice:
"Your Majesty! Why did you listen to the words of the traitor... Why didn't you listen to the explanation of the old minister..."
"In today's court meeting, is it possible to hold a Hongmen banquet for the old minister?"
Chu Yanwu's face gradually darkened.
This guy Zhou Tianfu is really brave!
At this juncture, he still dares to act recklessly and deny the crimes he has committed!
Xiao Chen was also very happy in his heart.
He spoke directly, his tone full of sarcasm:
"Let me tell you, Prime Minister, you are a traitor and a treacherous minister, but you still expect your Majesty to hold a Hongmen Banquet for you. Why do you have such a big face?"
However, Xiao Chen paused again, his smile became even weirder, and he said:
"But there's one thing I'm curious about."
"Hongmen Banquet is not a good word... If the Prime Minister uses it at this time, does he really have a disobedient heart?"
Although the world Xiao Chen came to was an ancient world that was not completely consistent with his impression.
But there are some allusions and general historical context that are similar.
There is also the allusion of Hongmen Banquet.
The civil and military officials present had not read books, and their eyes became a little strange.
However, Zhou Tianfu, a guy with a thicker skin than a city wall, would not be irritated by Xiao Chen's few words.
He smiled coldly, rolled up his sleeves and said:
"Everyone knows what kind of virtue you are, a castrated dog!"
"What's more, if you want to accuse someone, why bother?"
Xiao Chen sneered again and again, not giving Zhou Tianfu any face:
"The Prime Minister is so calm, it seems that he is well prepared!"
"But I don't know, how should you deal with what Zhang Shangshu said next?"
At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple made eye contact.
They also knew that Xiao Chen could never be allowed to continue.
The young minister of Honglu Temple was the first to say:
"Your Majesty, before Zhang Shangshu speaks, I think we must send someone to check his evidence first!"
"It's hard for me not to suspect that the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Rites were beaten into submission!"
The Minister of Industry also followed suit and said:
"That's right, Your Majesty! It's not impossible to forge evidence. I boldly ask Your Majesty to thoroughly investigate Zhang Dongyang and the people behind him!"
Before the official official opened his mouth, Xiao Chen took the lead and grabbed the white spot:
"Why are you three so funny? You three always talk here! If you don't know, you would think you are wearing a pair of pants..."
Xiao Chen's words were actually an attempt to make them form a clique.
The Minister of Civil Affairs had a very violent temper. Seeing Xiao Chen interrupting here, he directly focused his fire on Xiao Chen:
"You have such a big guts, you castrated dog! Let me tell you, fifty years ago, someone like you wouldn't have been able to step through the door of Jinluan Palace!"
Fifty years ago, the court system in Da Chu was not what it is today.
It can be regarded as "distinct between inside and outside".
Eunuchs, who handle the internal affairs of the royal family, will not participate in the morning court.
Xiao Chen was happy:
"So, what you want to express is that the late emperor's restructuring was very inappropriate?"
The late emperor, whose posthumous title was Zhao, was also the father of Chu Yanwu and could be regarded as the leader of the great Chu Zhongxing.
He was also a very prestigious virtuous emperor. The old people in the court had unparalleled remembrance and remembrance of this late emperor.
Xiao Chen's knife also hit a vital point.
The civil and military officials next to him also felt a little bit in their hearts.
As expected of you, Xiao Chen, if you don't speak up, you'll kill him if you speak.
The official's expression changed, but before he could defend himself, Master Cen spoke:
"Ji Qiushan, don't go too far!"
"If you dare to say such disrespectful words again, don't even think about calling yourself a scholar again!"
Master Cen is a world-famous scholar. He has the ability to expel the Minister of Civil Affairs from the ranks of scholars.
The Minister of Civil Affairs stopped talking and even broke out in cold sweat on his head.
He quickly bent down and said: "That's not what I meant! The late Emperor is the master of the Great Chu Zhongxing, how can I dare to discuss his decision without permission?"
Xiao Chen smiled: "Then what were you talking about fifty years ago? Don't try to confuse the audience, everyone has heard it!"
The Minister of Civil Affairs said coldly:
"As the saying goes, "In the midst of the fluffy hemp, one is not convinced; the white sand is in nirvana, and it becomes black with it." "
"When the late emperor was still alive, the several internal eunuchs he promoted were all talented and virtuous people, but who do you think you are..."
Xiao Chen sneered and said: "Stop talking nonsense here, I want to ask you something, do you have any objection to the late emperor's decision?"
Chu Yanwu was making a lot of noise and talking about the late emperor, and he was even more irritated:
"Shut up, everyone!"
"This Jinluan Palace is a place for discussing government affairs, not Caishikou where shrews scold the streets... What's more, I am the emperor of Chu. On this day, Zhenhai has not opened his mouth, and you have opened your mouth. How unbecoming!"
Chu Yanwu was really angry.
All the civil and military officials at the scene rushed to accuse him. They were like quails, not daring to say a word.
Chu Yanwu's eyes softened a little and he said:
"From now on, no one can speak without my order!"
Then he turned his attention to Zhang Dongyang:
"Zhang Shangshu, I order you to tell everything you have found from now on!"
At this order, all the civil and military officials trembled.
After all, among the people present, there were very few people with clean butts.
They were also very scared. Zhang Dongyang had shaken himself out.
However, Zhang Dongyang suddenly became energetic, like a general returning from victory, and stood out among the nervous people.
He smiled:
"Your Majesty! The minister brought these two people here today, naturally hoping to inform His Majesty of everything!"
"The first thing Wei Chen wants to say, and the most important thing this time, is related to the Minister of War. Moreover, this matter is related to the safety of Dachu, and it needs to be resolved urgently now!"
The safety of Dachu...the weight of these words is extraordinary!
And, where are we now?
Above the court, in front of the emperor.
Zhang Dongyang said such nonsense because he was crazy.
Everyone in the audience couldn't help but start to guess what the Minister of War had committed...
At this time, Zhang Dongyang also dragged the Minister of War to his feet:
"Zhang Yude, Minister of War, was ordered by Zhou Tianfu to lead the Japanese!"
