As night falls, the lights in the palace are brightly lit.
The courtiers gathered in the meeting hall and angrily denounced Jiang Yubai's various crimes.
"Traitor! Jiang Yubai is Dongling's shame!" A sharp voice reached Qi Chen's ears through the window. He frowned slightly, but there was no wave in his heart.
These ministers were just a mob, and their abuses and accusations were not worth mentioning to Jiang Yubai.
Emperor Jing felt noisy, "Enough! They came to me together in the middle of the night just to impeach Governor Jiang. This matter will be discussed in court tomorrow morning."
The father-in-law on the side whispered something into Emperor Jing's ear. Emperor Jing's expression was tense, "The princess is still injured. I have to go over and accompany you. You must discuss it with King Tengchuan in advance."
The ministers sighed, it's like this again. The regent makes decisions on almost all matters in the court. Many ministers secretly seek refuge with the regent, meaning they want to overthrow Emperor Jing and support him to ascend the throne. Who knows, but they are all beaten by the regent one by one. Rejected.
After that, no one thought about it again.
"King Tengchuan, look at this Governor Jiang..."
Before the minister finished speaking, he hesitated for a long time. The regent retorted directly: "Master Wen is overly worried. Governor Jiang must have his own reasons for doing this."
"No matter how difficult it is, you can't beat Mrs. Shen into a cripple, right? And Mrs. Luo, although she is a concubine, she is still the concubine of Lord Shen Hong Shen. Jiang Yubai is simply too arrogant!"
"Oh, Mr. Wen, I am so arrogant, what can you do?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at Governor Jiang, wondering when he came and how many times he had heard these words.
Wen Zemin relied on his nephew to be Prince Hengyuan and acted unscrupulously in the court. Now he finally managed to grab Governor Jiang's pigtail. Of course he had to make good use of it. "Is Governor Jiang too rude this time?"
Jiang Yubai put his hands behind his back and was dressed in black clothes. His posture was as straight as a pine tree. The corners of his lips were slightly raised and he said calmly: "Master Wen, I have said that I am arrogant."
As soon as these words came out, the ministers seemed to have been struck by thunder and could not recover for a long time.
"You, you..." Wen Zemin was so angry that he turned blue and couldn't say a complete sentence for a long time, "How bold! How dare you not take the officials of the government seriously."
Jiang Yubai chuckled lightly, "Master Wen, are you ordering this governor?"
"How presumptuous! Jiang Yubai, please don't go too far!" Wen Zemin puffed his beard and glared in anger, "I am a fourth-rank official in the court, and you are just a bodyguard, but you dare to commit such a crime!"
"I am the commander-in-chief of the five armies personally appointed by the emperor. One person is worth more than ten thousand people. When did he become a bodyguard?" Jiang Yubai said in a bad tone, "Also, Mr. Wen should know very well whether this governor has any of the following crimes. "
Jiang Yubai's eyes slowly swept across the crowd, "I would like to advise you all, don't get close to me if you have nothing to do, so as not to humiliate yourself."
Shen Hong was unwilling to give in. He came to the Shen Mansion today to make a big fuss. He not only injured the old lady of the Shen family, but also beat her concubine into a cripple. He would definitely ask Governor Jiang for an explanation.
"Oh? Mr. Shen plotted to kill his own niece. He is poisoned by tigers and will not eat his seeds. He can be so vicious to his own juniors."
Jiang Yubai added: "If I hadn't arrived in time, my disciple would have been burned to death in the ancestral hall!"
Shen Hong's face changed, and the veins on his forehead popped out, "You, you are spitting blood!"
"What? Mr. Shen wants to deny it now? It's too late." Jiang Yubai's voice was cold, "The governor has found out the truth. It was you and your concubine who poisoned my disciple's food every day. He deliberately set fire to the ancestral hall in an attempt to burn my disciple to death."
"It's a pity that you tried all your tricks but failed to succeed in the end."
"The facts are right in front of you. Master Shen wants to deny it?" Jiang Yubai mocked.
"You, you..." Shen Hong was speechless for a while and couldn't say a word for a long time.
"No, it's impossible..." Shen Hong looked horrified and shook his head, "No one will believe you! You, you are a sycophant!"
"Really? Mr. Shen should know very well whether this governor is a sycophant." Jiang Yubai said in a cold tone, "This governor has always held grudges. If you hurt my people, you should know what will happen."
"How you made things difficult for my disciple and framed the princess today is very clear to the people in the capital. How dare you try to burn my disciple to death in the ancestral hall!"
The people in the capital could see clearly what happened today. Shen Zhiyi was being embarrassed by his uncle at the gate of Shen Mansion. No one could bear it. Even the princess dared to be rude. There was nothing else that Shen Hong couldn't do. come out!
Shen An listened and asked why his eldest brother did this to his daughter?
Shen Hong shouted that he was wronged, saying that Governor Jiang framed him with empty words. On the one hand, it was his own siblings, and on the other hand, Governor Jiang's reputation was really bad, and Shen An really didn't want to believe that his eldest brother would harm his daughter.
That's his niece too!
"Governor Jiang, is what you said true?"
"Everything Governor Jiang said is true." When Xiang Jinzhu appeared in the court, all the ministers looked at each other in shock. Someone stood up and shouted: "Mrs. Xiang, this is a place for men. You, a woman, should leave quickly."
"My lords, please don't forget that I am the princess of Jing'an County who was personally granted the title by the late emperor. I am also a first-class imperial concubine. How can I not set foot in this court?"
This is not something that their ministers can drive away at will.
All the ministers sat upright and remained silent.
