The emperor's face seems to be in good condition today.
Just when he was about to say something, Han Chun stood up first.
"Your Majesty, I have this report!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows, "Han Aiqing, please speak!"
"I want to file a lawsuit against Hu Feipeng, the minister of Guanglu Temple, who has no regard for the king's laws, has disregarded human life, and bribed hundreds of officials..." Han Chun said a long sentence, which made Hu Feipeng, who was in the crowd, suddenly raise his head and look at Han Chun in disbelief.
Hu Feipeng has been acting arrogant in the court for so many years, just because he has the support of the Han family behind him.
But he never imagined that one day, when he was facing promotion, the first person to push him into the pit of fire would be the Han family!
"Han...Master Han, please don't accuse someone unjustly! I have never done such a thing before!" Hu Feipeng stood up in shock and anger.
"Oh? Mr. Hu said this without blushing!" Xia Lishuang handed the evidence in her hand to Jiang Yan beside her one by one.
Jiang Yan was confused. After taking it, he realized that it was a book filled with the crimes Hu Feipeng had committed over the years!
"I'd like to ask Mr. Jiang to think aloud, and let us all hear whether the injustice that Mr. Hu says is true!"
Jiang Yan was stunned, looked at the hot book in his hand, and read out.
"In the second year of Rongcheng's reign, they robbed fertile land and occupied women from good families."
"In the fifth year of Rongcheng... he opened a gambling house and made a net profit of more than 800,000 taels of silver."
"In the twelfth year of Rongcheng's reign, he secretly traded with the eldest princess and sold Five Stone Powder..."
Line by line, the previous ones may not matter much, but when Wu Shisan's charges came out, not only Hu Feipeng but also Han Chun's expression changed.
Han Chun was stunned and stayed on the spot.
He originally thought that Xia Lishuang was just trying to support Wan Guangsheng to rise to power, so in the eyes of His Majesty, he said some minor crimes to deduct Hu Feipeng's impression points, so that Wan Guangsheng could successfully secure the position of Minister of Rites.
But... what he never expected was that the other party actually wanted to kill Hu Feipeng directly!
Han Chun wanted to say something, but it was already too late.
He was the first to stand up when he sued Hu Feipeng. Trying to save him now would only slap him in the face, and might even make the emperor doubt himself.
What a Xia Lishuang, with extremely vicious thoughts!
Feeling the angry look in Hu Feipeng's eyes, Han Chun felt a prick on his back, but he could do nothing.
By the time Jiang Yan finished reading, the atmosphere in the hall had been completely suppressed.
The emperor's face was gloomy. Although he had doubts when looking at Xia Lishuang, when he looked at Hu Feipeng, he wanted to cut him in pieces.
What he hates most in his life is Wu Shi San, but these ministers...
On the side, Xia Liqing, who never spoke, stood up, smiling without showing his teeth.
"A few days ago, I saw Mr. Hu wandering near Xuanzhen Taoist Temple... At that time, I thought he was praying for blessings, but now it seems..."
Such cryptic words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire above.
No one in the court knew that the Xuanzhen Taoist Temple had just been sealed off a few days ago, and a large amount of Wu Shi San was seized.
If Hu Feipeng is really inseparable from the source of Wu Shi San, he will definitely die.
The emperor took a deep breath, ignored Hu Feipeng's cries, and directly asked Wu Ziye, the new minister of Dali Temple, to do it.
Xia Lishuang looked at the emperor's face and called her father wise.
The emperor looked at Hu Feipeng's face as he was dragged down, shook his head, and retreated directly.
Within two days, the palace came to report that Wan Guangsheng, the Minister of Household Affairs, had been promoted to Minister of Rites, with a third-rank official position.
It is said that when Han Chun heard the news, he vomited a mouthful of blood, trembled and passed out.
