Since the founding of Daxia, there has been only one Duke of the Chen family.
Today, a small official from Si Tianjian who is as big as a sesame seed and a mung bean shouted in front of all the civil and military officials to impeach the Chen family.
This short sentence was like a nuclear bomb dropped into the court, causing an uproar immediately.
"Master Zhou, do you know what you are doing!"
"How dare young people be so arrogant!"
Among the officials, some were ecstatic and others sneered.
Cui Wengong, Zhou Miao and others were all dumbfounded and suspected that they were hearing hallucinations. As for Chen Guogong, his face was sinister and he stood aside in a majestic manner.
The empress almost had a heart attack. Her beautiful eyes were round and she asked in shock: "Zhou Aiqing, what are you talking about?"
"My lord, impeach Duke Chen Guo!"
Zhao Angu kowtowed.
"absurd!"
The empress stood up angrily, her eyebrows raised, "Zhou Huang, how dare you make a mistake? Your little Si Tianjian can impeach the Duke. If you don't step down, don't blame me for being ruthless."
The empress panicked.
She understands Chen Guogong, whoever dares to impeach him will die if he goes to court!
Zhao An straightened up and said seriously: "Could it be that your Majesty intends to protect the Duke of our country?"
"you……"
The empress was furious and wondered if Zhao An had gone crazy. Why didn't he tell her about such a big matter in advance?
Chen Guogong chuckled and said, "Your Majesty, don't worry. Since Mr. Zhou wants to impeach, let's listen to what he has to say."
"Your Excellency, I want to impeach you for having an affair." Zhao An said with raised eyebrows.
Although the officials were mentally prepared, they were still shocked by the impeachment charter.
Everyone in Ling Qiao'er's business has heard about it, but no one dares to talk nonsense. They never expected that this kid would be so courageous that he would talk about it in the court.
However, Chen Guogong couldn't bear it any longer. He clenched his fists and tried to look calm, "Master Zhou, why do you need to slander others? I am the Duke of the state, how can I do such a deed?"
"Your Excellency also knows what you are doing. That Ling Qiao'er was placed in the study by you. I think all of you have seen her. The silver candles painted the screen in the cold autumn light, and the light and small fans fluttered at the fireflies. It's a pity that the beauty died."
"Zhou Huang, do you know the consequences of framing me?"
Chen Guogong came with an angry look, like a furious beast.
It was the first time for all the officials to see him so angry, and they all remained silent. On the contrary, Zhang Qi, Wang Chang and others were very interested and looked teasingly.
Zhao An said: "She never expected that her final destination would be to be buried alive."
When all the officials heard about this for the first time, they all shrank their necks.
They had not heard any news about Ling Qiao'er recently, and they thought she was transferred out of the capital by Chen Guogong and buried alive after being fucked for a long time!
Chen Guogong was silent and stared over with a faint look.
Zhao An continued: "Why should the Duke be nervous? She is not dead, right?"
"Zhou Huang, this is the imperial court, not a place for you to act wild. If you dare to deliberately criticize me without evidence, I will not let you go."
"Oh, I'm so anxious. Your Majesty is so anxious. He's starting to threaten people, isn't he?"
Zhao An stepped back a few steps and kept a distance from him, "Everyone, you have all seen that after the official's remonstrance, the Duke of the State will not be able to stand it any longer. If ironclad evidence is produced, will the Duke of the State be willing to commit suicide? Splash on the spot?"
"His Majesty."
Chen Guogong rarely knelt down and said sadly: "I have worked hard for Daxia and fulfilled my duties. I have definitely not neglected my duties. I hope your Majesty will see clearly."
"Your Majesty, please come to your senses quickly. I believe in you."
The empress waved her hand sincerely, and finally saw what Zhao An was going to do.
Zhou Huang's identity must be lost, and he has already been assassinated. It would be a good thing to simply make such a fuss and spread the word about Chen Guogong.
Zhao An said: "It's a coincidence that Miss Qiao'er happened to be rescued by me. I turned around and took her to the court, where we confronted her. We'll know as soon as we ask."
Chen Guogong took a deep breath and finally returned to his usual aloof demeanor, "I also want to know where Mr. Zhou found a woman to frame me."
"Your Excellency, when it comes to framing, I think you will kill the official. Is it possible for the official to be impeached? Were you responsible for the assassination last night?"
Zhao An once again faced Chen Guogong, his voice and expression were stern.
The officials lowered their heads, worried and uneasy.
Damn it, if you keep talking about it, it will break the sky!
At this moment, even Cui Wengong, who had always been calm, couldn't help it anymore and kept glaring to signal him not to talk anymore.
Besides, I'll go down and completely break up.
Zhao An was fearless and remonstrated in front of all the officials: "I have reason to suspect that Duke Chen Guo hated his subordinates because of yesterday's cultural meeting, so I boldly ask your majesty to issue an order to thoroughly investigate whether the Duke's mansion has raised dead soldiers. "
The officials were dripping with cold sweat and did not dare to look directly at the two people who were facing each other. They just wanted to leave the court as soon as possible.
"That's unreasonable!"
The empress was furious, slapping the dragon table and scolding: "How dare you frame the prince of the dynasty! Come here, drag me out with twenty court staffs!"
"Here!"
Two imperial guards rushed in and dragged Zhao An away. Zhao An shouted: "I am wronged——"
There was no point in complaining. The empress was really scared and had to stop her from continuing.
Chen Guogong's face was extremely ugly.
The empress coughed guiltily, "Everyone, please just listen to what happened today. You must not spread it randomly and withdraw from the court."
"I will respectfully send you off to Your Majesty."
All the officials knelt down to see each other off, and when the empress left, they all looked at Chen Guogong who was on the verge of rage with trepidation, and then they all dispersed in a swarm.
Cui Wengong signaled the dull Cui Shixiang to follow him quickly. The court was not a kind place and he should leave as soon as possible.
The Manchao retreated, leaving Chen Guogong standing alone.
His eyelids were twitching violently, and he wanted to tear "Zhou Huang" into pieces.
Finally, he snorted deeply and left with his hands behind his back.
In the imperial study room.
Zhao An lowered his head like an elementary school kid who had done something wrong. However, he was not beaten and was directly brought over by the Imperial Guards.
The little hand the empress pointed at trembled wildly. She wanted to curse but did not dare to speak loudly, "Where do you have the courage? Believe it or not, if you continue talking, Chen Guogong will dare to kill you in front of me!"
"I have tried my best for your great cause. It's okay if you don't praise me. Why are you scolding me..."
"Even scolding you is considered a light thing, but I still want to deal with you."
The empress waved her sleeves angrily and returned to the table.
Zhao An stepped forward and briefly explained his countermeasures.
Chen Guogong was offended today, so he will definitely continue to take action. It is the best time to eliminate the strong men under his command.
"What should I do if you are killed?" The empress suddenly raised her eyes.
When Zhao An saw her eyes turning red, his heart suddenly tightened and he swallowed the words that came to his lips alive.
"You want to get rid of Chen Guogong quickly, but have you ever thought about how someone like him would give you a chance? If you can plot against him, he will plot against you."
The empress' voice was filled with unconcealed urgency and panic.
