Among the officials, the face of the Minister of Civil Affairs turned pale on the spot.
He turned to look at Xu Changqing, and then his eyes fell on Zhang Biwu. His lips twitched. Although he didn't say anything, his expression showed dissatisfaction with Zhang Biwu.
Everyone could see that Xu Changqing was provoking, but they couldn't stand it. What these smart people are best at is thinking of simple things as complicated, and making complex things even more complicated.
At this moment, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who had just taken office, couldn't help but start to think, if Chen Tong is really punished today, will the people he recommends and the appointment certificates issued in the future be held responsible for this?
He cannot bear this responsibility.
As a result, his position began to waver unconsciously.
Zhang Biwu took a breath, but he didn't expect Xu Changqing's angle to be so cunning and cruel. Just when he was about to refute, he heard Xu Changqing say again: "There is also the Minister of Provincial Affairs. As the head of hundreds of officials, if something goes wrong among the officials in the world,
, according to your words, Mr. Zhang, are you also responsible for this?"
When the topic involved Zhao Xuanji, Zhang Biwu couldn't hold himself any longer.
But Xu Changqing hasn't finished speaking yet.
Seeing that Zhang Biwu was about to speak, he immediately spoke faster: "As the Son of Heaven, Your Majesty appoints officials, big and small, to assist in the governance of the world. Are you also responsible for this?"
After going around and around, Xu Changqing finally tied the topic to the two people who should not be offended.
One is Zhao Xuanji and the other is Emperor Daxing.
Zhang Biwu's mouth trembled, and he said angrily: "Xu Changqing, you deliberately distorted my words and made such a mess!"
"okay."
Zhao Qinglan spoke indifferently and said: "Master Zhang, people in this court are free to speak their minds. If you have your own opinions, why don't you allow Master Xu to speak? I see that what Master Xu said makes sense.
"
Seeing Zhao Qinglan being so biased, Zhang Biwu was so angry that he wanted to curse.
But it is absolutely not okay to curse people.
Gritting his teeth, Zhang Biwu said in a low voice: "I know my mistake, please punish me."
"That's all."
Zhao Qinglan said: "You are also dedicated to the imperial court. Naturally, I will not really blame you, but..."
"It's just a matter of Jinyiwei, don't let it go like this!"
Zhang Biwu suddenly interrupted Zhao Qinglan's words, raised his head and looked directly at Zhao Qinglan, and said.
Zhao Qinglan was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Zhang Biwu to be so determined. It was a crime to interrupt her, but Zhang Biwu not only interrupted, but also issued an ultimatum in a threatening tone.
Zhao Qinglan's eyes darkened slightly and she looked at Zhang Biwu.
At this moment, Zhang Biwu knelt down and said loudly: "Old minister, please kneel down and ask the empress to put Chen Tong to death!"
At the same time, behind Zhang Biwu, many people from the civil and military court ranks followed Zhang Biwu and knelt down in front of Zhao Qinglan, saying in unison: "O ministers, please kneel down and ask the empress to rectify Chen Tong!"
At a glance, nearly a quarter of the people in the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony were kneeling.
Its momentum cannot be said to be small.
As soon as this quarter of the people knelt down, it was Zhang Biwu who forced Zhao Qinglan to a dead end.
Sure enough, Zhao Qinglan was furious.
She stood up suddenly and said sternly: "Are you trying to force me to do this!?"
Zhang Biwu said in a deep voice: "I don't dare. I just want justice for the people of the world and for those who died tragically."
"Please seek justice!"
