His voice was a powerful shout.
The surrounding civil and military officials were also shocked, including Zhou Tianfu, who was involved.
Having an affair with another country is a serious crime. The Yi Tribe is the norm, and it is not impossible to punish the Nine Tribes.
Why is this Secretary of the Ministry of War so bold...
Chu Yanwu narrowed his eyes slightly: "Zhang Dongyang, is what you said true?"
Zhou Tianfu below was a little panicked. He had heard that his men were colluding with Japan.
But this was really not his direct order. He was not so bold to touch this red line.
At this time, every word Zhang Tongyang said was very resounding:
"Your Majesty, this matter is not trivial. How can a humble minister dare to talk nonsense?"
He took out two short knives from his sleeves and presented them to himself:
"These two swords are precious swords forged by Japanese secret methods. Even in the palace, they are extremely rare!"
"And these two swords were found by me from the secret treasury in Zhang Yude's house, Minister of War!"
"In addition, there are also some letters from Japan. Your Majesty can also submit them together if necessary."
Chu Yanwu's face was extremely gloomy, he snorted coldly and said, "Someone, bring that up!"
A young eunuch quickly walked over and took out two precious knives. After inspecting them, they presented them to Chu Yanwu.
Chu Yanwu glanced at it twice and said with a sneer:
"The feather pattern on the blade is indeed unique to Japanese swords!"
"If I remember correctly, there are only three treasures in the palace... Zhang Yude, what should you say?"
Zhang Yude's face turned pale: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say."
At this time, Zhou Tianfu said angrily:
"What a Zhang Yude, you are so brave!"
"Actually connected with Japan!"
There is a reason why Zhou Tianfu said this.
In fact, the thief shouts to catch the thief.
I want to cut myself off from the Minister of War, Zhang Yude, to show my innocence.
Unfortunately, Xiao Chen said sadly:
"Master Prime Minister, don't be impatient!"
"Zhang Yude's side is the same thing. Your hometown, Jiangdong Road, is also inextricably linked to Dongying!"
These words also attracted everyone's attention.
Chu Yanwu gritted his teeth and asked, "Xiao Chen, what's going on?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile:
"Wei Chen has never told His Majesty about this matter, mainly because he didn't find out clearly."
"But now that Zhang Yude's case has come to light, Wei Chen thinks it's time for this matter to come to light again!"
Just as Xiao Chen finished speaking, Zhang Dongyang also took out a booklet:
"This is evidence of collusion between the major families in Jiangdong Road and Japan!"
"Among them, the Zhou family where Zhou Tianfu lives is also involved!"
boom!
This is a bolt from the blue!
Even some officials in the court exchanged words in low voices.
Corruption is corruption, to put it nicely, it is just a matter of style.
But if you collude with Japan, it’s not that simple!
At this time, Zhou Tianfu took a deep breath and roared again:
"enough!"
He immediately turned his face and fixed his gaze on Zhang Dongyang:
"Zhang Shangshu, I know that you have many plans for the position of prime minister."
"But it's okay for you to be jealous of talents. Why do you slander the truth like this?"
Xiao Chen was really happy.
This guy Zhou Tianfu is indeed quite capable... His ability to divert attention, or to confuse people, is indeed very strong.
But Chu Yanwu slapped the handle of the seat and said angrily:
"enough!"
"Zhou Tianfu, I ask you, have you participated in or condoned others' collusion with Japan?"
"Your Majesty, this is all their own opinion. How dare I do this?"
Zhou Tianfu was also full of indignation: "As the prime minister of the current dynasty, I am already inferior to one person and above ten thousand people. What do you want to do? What's more, the veteran's daughter has also entered the palace as a concubine and is of the same mind as your majesty. So what? Would you do something that would harm yourself?"
What he said was not unreasonable.
The young minister of Honglu Temple also spoke for him:
"Your Majesty, the Prime Minister is indeed the number one person in the Chu State besides you. His hands and eyes reach the sky, and he has inexhaustible wealth and splendor..."
"What are the benefits of colluding with Japan? Is he going to rebel?"
"As the saying goes, it takes ten years for a scholar to rebel... Is he really going to do something useless?"
Chu Yanwu narrowed his eyes: "Come here, drag the young minister of Honglu Temple out! Give him twenty sticks!"
The young minister of Honglu Temple was stunned: "Your Majesty, what are you..."
Chu Yanwu sneered: "Do you think what I just said was all a joke? I don't allow it, and the others are not allowed to speak without permission!"
The young minister of Honglu Temple opened his mouth wide and could only be dragged out by two guards.
And there were sparse screams outside the door.
All the civil and military officials present also swallowed their saliva.
And Chu Yanwu turned his attention to Zhou Tianfu:
"Zhou Tianfu, you still know that you are being reused, and you still know that your daughter is my concubine!"
"Since you know everything, then why do you betray my trust in you! Why do you treat me like a fool?"
Zhou Tianfu said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, believe me, I definitely did not do this!"
"You can't be partial to that eunuch!"
Chu Yanwu smiled coldly and turned his gaze to Xiao Chen:
"Xiao Chen, tell me if I am biased towards you."
Xiao Chen, who was eating melon and watching a show, had piercing eyes:
"If His Majesty really favors me, then I would have resumed my position as the Governor of the East Factory by now. Why should I stay out of the matter just to avoid the turmoil temporarily?"
This seems to make sense...
Chu Yanwu laughed loudly: "Zhou Tianfu, the evidence is here, what else do you want to say?"
Zhou Tianfu's eyes were filled with grief and anger:
"I'm wronged!"
"If your Majesty really feels that this veteran is not suitable to be prime minister, then I kindly ask your majesty to allow this veteran to beg for his remains..."
His words of begging for bones shocked everyone.
Zhou Tianfu is so cruel!
What does begging for bones mean?
He is resigning!
"Zhou Tianfu, are you threatening me?"
Chu Yanwu's eyes were full of coldness: "The thieves have access to Japan, preying on the common people, manipulating merchants, embezzling the national treasury... nothing can make you die without a complete body!"
Zhou Tianfu said angrily:
"Your Majesty, what do you want to do?"
"I have lived a life worthy of heaven and earth, and worthy of the people. Do you really want to force me into such a situation?"
Xiao Chen slapped his mouth.
This week Tianfu is really like a stone in the pit, smelly and hard!
Chu Yanwu shouted angrily: "Here comes someone! Please escort Zhou Tianfu to me and take him back to the Prime Minister's Mansion! Let's discuss it another day!"
A group of guards immediately appeared next to him, ready to catch Zhou Tianfu.
Facing the cold light of the battle, Zhou Tianfu said angrily:
"Your Majesty, you listen to traitors and harm loyal people, which is tantamount to setting yourself on fire!"
"If you want me to continue to serve, then rein in the situation and let Xiao Chen and Zhang Dongyang die!"
The guards have already rushed over.
Zhou Tianfu turned around, shook off his sleeves, and strode away. Accompanied by the sound of footsteps was a poem full of sorrow and self-comparison:
"I will always remember the world with white hair, and I want to return to heaven and earth in a small boat. I don't know what it feels like to be a rotten rat..."
I guess the chicks are still alive! "
