Chapter Thirty-Six Breathe out today for Yan Xiang!
Li Qian also sat on the dragon chair and looked at Zhao Kuangyi speechlessly.
If Yan Song had taken off his official robe and had patches on his inner shirt, Wei Zheng would have returned home disgraced today.
If he hadn't worn the patch, Wei Zheng probably wouldn't have been able to do anything to him, but those civil servants might have been disgraced.
You keep saying how simple Yan Song is, and all the clothes he wears are patched, why don’t you have them now? Did you just open your eyes and tell lies?
As long as the outer disguise is revealed, regardless of whether it is patched or not, the civil servants will suffer a hidden loss.
What a good calculation...
Li Qian leaned back on the dragon chair and tapped the armrest of the dragon chair with his index finger.
It stands to reason that a greedy person like Yan Song must be well-dressed, so how could he wear patched clothes?
But these civil servants all swore so firmly that Li Qian couldn't help but start to doubt, could what they said be true?
But suspicion was suspicion, and Li Qian did not speak rashly. He just quietly looked at the situation below.
Although Zhao Kuangyi sat down, the civil servants would not let him go so easily.
Luo Longwen, Yan Maoqing and others scolded Zhao Kuangyi for his arrogance and boldness, while furtively looking at Yan Song ahead.
Although they just kept saying that the undershirt worn by Yan Xiang was fully patched, they couldn't be prepared for such a thing!
What if you don’t wear that patched undershirt today?
what is it now?
Not only could it not help Prime Minister Yan clear away his reputation for corruption and bribery, it actually cast a shadow over the matter.
Only Prime Minister Yan can decide on such a critical matter.
Under the watchful eyes of many ministers from behind, Yan Song took a step forward again.
The civil servants who were angry at Zhao Kuangyi for beating him up immediately stopped talking and turned their heads to look at Yan Song's back.
He slowly raised his hand to Li Qian and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I will serve the country without any hesitation, but I don't want to bear the name of corruption and be cast aside by future generations after thousands of years."
"I hope your Majesty can give me a chance to prove my innocence at the court meeting."
After Yan Song said these words, the civil servants breathed a long sigh of relief.
Stable!
It seems that Prime Minister Yan really wore a patched undershirt today!
Wei Zheng gritted his teeth and thought of the key. He looked at Yan Song's back in front of him with reluctance in his eyes.
Li Qian also understood, but he still looked at Yan Song in surprise: "Why is Prime Minister Yan doing this?"
"Prime Minister Yan has been serving the country for a long time, and his hard work has made great achievements. The impeachment of Wei Qing's family is nothing more than a misunderstanding. I believe in Prime Minister Yan's character, and there is no need to prove it."
However, the more Li Qian refused, the firmer Yan Song's attitude became.
He leaned over and nodded, his old body even more stooped, and whispered to Li Qian: "Your Majesty, since I have been impeached, I cannot expose it at will."
"Otherwise, the ministers who will be impeached in the future will escape punishment for this reason. Where is the justice of the court?"
He Shen on the side moved his fat body unnaturally, trying to get further away from Yan Song.
Many civil servants of the Yan Party also reacted, their eyes lit up, and they guessed Prime Minister Yan's possible intentions.
This is the best time to spread the name!
Is there anything more convincing than verifying that Prime Minister Yan is an honest minister in front of the emperor and all the courtiers in the court?
Who else will dare to say that Prime Minister Yan is corrupt in the future?
Thinking of this, Luo Longwen's face became serious, and he took the lead in raising his hands to Li Qian and said: "Your Majesty, I also think what Prime Minister Yan said is reasonable, and we cannot set this precedent."
"Please also ask Your Majesty to give Prime Minister Yan a chance to prove his innocence."
Yan Maoqing also shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, it is clear to you! Prime Minister Yan has worked hard and achieved great results. Please be sure to show Prime Minister Yan's innocence!"
Minister Guan Peng, Taichang Temple Shaoqing Zhao Wenhua and others also followed suit.
On the contrary, many officials from the Heshen Party looked strange and couldn't say what they wanted to say.
Li Qian frowned and looked at people like Luo Longwen and Yan Maoqing, but there was a hint of anger in his words: "In the year when Prime Minister Yan was obedient, he was a minister who had been serving the country for a long time. The late emperor had great trust in him, and I also relied on Yan. The Prime Minister handles state affairs!"
"But why are you so unwilling to give in and pressuring each other so hard! Do you have to let Prime Minister Yan, the pillar of the country, take off his clothes at the court meeting and be embarrassed??"
Li Qian was condescending, stared at them, and asked righteously: "Do you have a personal grudge against Prime Minister Yan? Now you want to use official business to express your grudge?"
"If this is true, I will never allow you to frame Prime Minister Yan!"
??
Damn it!
The ministers were all dumbfounded.
Your Majesty, have you really wronged them?
These people couldn't wait to recognize Yan Song as their biological father and grandfather.
Can grandfather and grandson still have a grudge?
Luo Longwen and the others looked panicked and knelt on the ground with a thud: "Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
They may not be afraid of Li Qian, but they are really afraid of Yan Song's misunderstanding.
What if Prime Minister Yan really thinks that these people have evil intentions?
Fortunately, before they could explain, Yan Song spoke up.
This time he knelt directly on the ground, his voice was slightly choked, and his words were a little awkward: "The late Emperor and Your Majesty... trusted me so much... I... I am so grateful that I can't repay you in return."
"It's just a Chao Gang, but you can't abandon it by being a minister. Your face and reputation are only insignificant... I hope your Majesty will allow me to prove it myself!"
What a scene where the king and his ministers get along well with each other, touching the heart!
But all the officials saw it and only had three words in their hearts.
I want to laugh.
Especially from the military generals, there were even a few uncontrollable sneers from the crowd.
Yan Song is not a good person, and the little emperor is also full of bad ideas.
Yan Song and the others were disgusted from the beginning to the end. They were really bad, much worse than the late emperor.
"this……"
On the dragon throne, Li Qian was still hesitating, but Yan Song couldn't kneel down and was very stubborn.
"Oh~ that's all!"
Li Qian finally waved his hand, with helplessness and compromise on his face: "Since Prime Minister Yan has this intention, I will allow you to take off your official robe."
At this point, he changed his voice, stared at Luo Longwen and others behind him, and said dissatisfiedly: "It's just that these people have been jumping up and down in an attempt to frame Prime Minister Yan and report their private grudges!"
"The ministers of the Prime Minister and Fu should not be insulted lightly. I will dismiss them from their posts and put them in jail today to serve as a warning to others and to speak out like this for the strict prime minister!"
The Yan party members were dumbfounded again. Luo Longwen couldn't help but took the lead and shouted: "Your Majesty, I am really unjust! I never meant to frame Prime Minister Yan!"
He was extremely aggrieved.
I just said a lot of good things to Prime Minister Yan. Have you forgotten, Your Majesty?
Hearing that Li Qian was going to punish his own henchmen, Yan Song's expression changed, his voice stopped being choked, and his problem of speaking awkwardly was suddenly cured.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
He raised his lowered head a little, and said slowly in an old voice: "Your Majesty clearly knows that these adults do not want to see Chao Gang corrupted, so they speak out and impartially, and they are also loyal to the court!"
"Your Majesty is a wise king. I hope that your Majesty will not undermine others because of his words. In this way, direct ministers like Mr. Wei and Mr. Luo in the court can continue to give loyal advice..."
