He has been planning for so long, is it possible that it has come to nothing?
King Rong could not accept such a result!
"Your Majesty, this is impossible! The Phoenix Seal has been lost a long time ago. No one has seen it. This must be a fake!" King Rong blurted out.
The civil and military ministers were startled, and their expressions became a little subtle.
Some of them really had some doubts in their hearts.
After all, no one has ever seen the Phoenix Seal, so someone might have faked it.
The emperor's jade seal has been fake for so many years, hasn't it?
Xuanyuan Jin said coldly: "I'm afraid it's Prince Rong himself, hoping that this phoenix seal is fake."
Prince Rong naturally hoped that the phoenix seal was fake, but he could not admit it.
King Cheng'en immediately praised him and echoed: "Does it need to be said? That must be true! He didn't have a good intention to begin with. Maybe he was hoping that the emperor would issue an edict to punish himself, so that he could use the topic to make trouble!"
King Chengen hit the nail on the head.
Prince Rong was holding his breath and ignored the cynicism of Xuanyuan Jin and King Cheng'en. He just stared at the phoenix seal in Emperor Tianxi's hand.
It seems that if you stare like this, the phoenix seal will become fake.
Emperor Tianxi was not angry.
"Since what Prince Rong thinks is false, let's go forward and verify it." Emperor Tianxi said leisurely: "All my dear friends, please come forward and have a look."
Emperor Tianxi was not afraid of others' verification at all.
To put it bluntly, I wish everyone could verify it.
In this way, he can be more proud and proud.
In this way, it can further demonstrate God's affirmation to him and cover up the bad impact caused by the theft of the jade seal.
After hearing Emperor Tianxi's words, Prince Rong immediately strode forward without caring about whether it offended the emperor's authority.
When the other ministers saw this, they hesitated for a moment and then gathered around.
No matter whether this phoenix seal is real or fake, it is an opportunity to gain knowledge, isn't it?
After passing this village, there is no such store!
I'm afraid this is the only opportunity in my life to worship the Phoenix Seal up close.
Don’t miss it!
So, all the ministers, whether kneeling or standing, came over.
The phoenix seal is of course real!
The civil and military officials are not blind. The unique jade quality is clearly the same as the jade seal.
Coupled with the unique carving technique and the arc on the handle that can fit into the jade seal, anyone who has seen the jade seal can conclude that this phoenix seal is genuine.
Prince Rong's heart was completely cold.
The ministers witnessed the authenticity of the phoenix seal and gave Emperor Tianxi a rainbow fart again.
After Emperor Tianxi took all the orders, he looked at Prince Rong.
Prince Rong shuddered and immediately knelt down to apologize.
"Your Majesty, forgive me. I feel that the appearance of the Phoenix Seal is too strange, so I am suspicious." Prince Rong defended, "I am loyal to the Emperor and to Dayan, and I would like to ask Your Majesty to give you a clear warning!"
"Mingjian?" Emperor Tianxi sneered coldly and said: "I am not confused yet! In passing on my decree, King Rong repeatedly made mistakes in his words and deeds. He was fined a year's salary, spent three months in isolation to reflect on his mistakes, and copied the laws of his ancestors for three months!"
As soon as Emperor Tianxi finished speaking, King Chengen showed an expression of disbelief.
This is too light!
By the way, Prince Rong was so up and down today that he almost wrote the words "ulterior motives" on his forehead, but the emperor picked it up high and put it down gently...
Not only was King Chengen puzzled, many courtiers were also puzzled.
Xuanyuan Jin's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled slightly, and he glanced at Prince Rong with a thoughtful expression.
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!" Prince Rong thanked you.
Emperor Tianxi looked at the other courtiers again.
The hearts of many courtiers were lifted.
"Zhang Mingdong, as the minister of the Ministry of Rites, has not cultivated his inner virtues and corrupted his outer virtues. He will be removed from his official position and will never use it again..."
"Li Xiuyuan of the Criminal Department took bribes, protected criminals, oppressed the people, was dismissed from office, and was handed over to Dali Temple to investigate and deal with the law..."
"Qin Deli, Hubu..."
Following Emperor Tianxi's words, each of the courtiers' legs softened, their faces turned earth-colored, and they knelt down on the ground.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I have been wronged..."
Several ministers who had been dismissed from their official positions cried bitterly and kowtowed desperately.
If we say that just now they were wailing, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, begging the emperor to write an edict to punish themselves, it was just a formality.
Now he is kowtowing sincerely, wishing he could kowtow to death so that the emperor can take back his life.
"Bang bang bang", blood immediately appeared on his forehead.
Several imperial guards stepped forward, dragging several courtiers away with a murderous air.
Several courtiers struggled and cried.
"Your Majesty... please show mercy to your Majesty..."
The sound is getting farther and farther, and getting smaller and smaller, but it seems to hit people's hearts heavily.
Especially the people of King Rong's lineage were all frightened and covered in cold sweat.
Emperor Tianxi dealt with several courtiers vigorously and resolutely.
Interestingly, the reasons are quite alarming.
There was neither impeachment nor accusation, so Emperor Tianxi just opened his mouth and said it.
It's like these crimes have been in Emperor Tianxi's mind for a long time, but he has never let go of them.
For a time, the civil and military ministers became more and more frightened as they thought about it. They all felt that their pigtails were being held in the emperor's hand.
In other words, those who can reach their position as officials have more or less done some unspeakable things.
Now, the emperor's actions are obviously a warning to them!
Many courtiers who knelt down and remonstrated began to regret it.
Very regretful!
After all, no one wants to lose their official position or life.
Fortunately, Emperor Tianxi dealt with several courtiers and solved this problem.
Zheng Shoufu came forward to admonish him: "Your Majesty, the jade seal matter is very involved. I think we should order the three divisions of the Yamen to search for it with all our strength!"
Emperor Tianxi nodded and immediately issued his decree.
In the past, Emperor Tianxi was afraid of causing turmoil in the court, so he could only send people to search secretly.
Now there is no need to hide and tuck it away, you can search across the country.
Anyway, this matter will soon be known to the whole world.
It is inevitable that something happened to someone, and naturally the sooner they are found, the better.
Even if it is, dig three feet into the ground!
Emperor Tianxi issued a series of decrees. He didn't know why, so he looked at Tangbao.
