Damn, what have I done? Is this going to be the death penalty?
This was obviously not ordered by the prince.
She also frowned a little and snorted coldly, "Humph, although Xiao Lezi usually acts in a high-profile manner, but do you think he confused the East Palace and regarded me as a fool?"
Li Yan suddenly trembled with fright, but he still said bravely: "I don't mean this, but what Zhao Xiaole did is really outrageous. As a censor, how can I turn a blind eye to this?"
?”
As he spoke, he took out a memorial from his sleeve, "Here is a list compiled by Wei Chen, which records Zhao Xiaole's three major crimes!"
"The first crime is that this person has no respect for his elders. I will commit the same crime below!"
Li Yan straightened his back and said: "As we all know, not long ago, Zhao Xiaole led a group of red-armored warriors to demolish the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion for no reason."
"Not only that, he also slapped Liu Qingtian, the prime minister's son, in public!"
"How can a humble minister tolerate such people who have no respect for their elders and violate laws and disciplines?"
Hearing his words, even some of the neutral ministers below cast a look of disgust at Zhao Xiaole.
Because as an official, the most important thing is your own face.
Zhao Xiaole's behavior of openly slapping Prime Minister Liu Bern in the face in public naturally made everyone unhappy.
"Haha, in order to deal with me, these people really have 'good intentions'!"
Zhao Xiaole sneered.
Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is definitely not something he can do by forcefully demolishing the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
If there is no support from the prince.
He is a little eunuch, no matter how arrogant he is, he would never dare to demolish the door of the prime minister's palace, right?
What's more, there are red-armored soldiers beside him who only take orders from the prince!
But this group of people just pretended to be dumbfounded and insisted that Zhao Xiaole did it alone, because they were sure that the prince would not tell the truth.
Because once the truth is revealed, it will be a major event that will cause a stir in both the government and the public.
The assassination of the prince was suspected to be related to the prime minister, so Zhao Xiaole was sent to go and beat him up.
Each of these things, no matter which one is leaked, will immediately make the conflict between the two parties very acute.
Obviously, this is not what the prince wants to see!
Sure enough, when he heard this sentence, the prince couldn't help but frown.
"The second major crime that I want to accuse Zhao Xiaole of is that this person is arrogant and domineering and has beaten and injured the people of Jingyang many times!"
At this point, Li Yan gritted his teeth and said: "According to Wei Chen's statistics, in this month alone, Zhao Xiaole injured more than 70 people. Some people are even still lying in bed, unable to move."
"If you don't punish such extremely vicious criminals, it won't be enough to inspire people's moral support, and if you don't punish them, it won't be enough to make the people angry, Your Highness!"
He looked like if he didn't kill Zhao Xiaole, the people of the world would rise up in rebellion.
It is almost establishing Zhao Xiaole as a public enemy!
At this moment, Li Yan seemed to have found the feeling of controlling the situation of the court.
The more he talked, the more excited he became, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
"The third crime!"
"I want to sue this person. He has no royal eyes and is so bold that he dares to rob a civilian girl in broad daylight!"
Li Yan said with anger on his face: "Everyone knows Zhao Xiaole's lustful reputation!"
"But no one would have thought that he would dare to forcibly abduct the daughter of the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, resulting in the death of the president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!"
"You know, nearly half of our country's annual tax revenue comes from the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce!"
"Zhao Xiaole, this person, has no regard for the general situation and is so bold that he almost caused our Jingguo to lose another pillar!"
"He is really a traitor and evil thief who brings disaster to the country and the people!"
"Your Highness!"
Li Yan looked at the prince with bright eyes, like a righteous man who was ready to die generously.
"These three major sins are all unforgivable!"
"So I am asking Your Highness to punish this person to death!"
The righteous voice filled the entire hall.
With his leadership, the officials who were planning to impeach Zhao Xiaole immediately stood up one after another.
"Chen Yuanzhi, the imperial censor, impeached the eunuch Zhao Xiaole for his arrogance, extravagance and lewdness, and is a prey to the common people!"
"Li Rongfang, the minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, impeached the eunuch Zhao Xiaole for corruption and bribery. The total embezzlement amounted to 300,000 taels of silver!"
"minister......"
Ministers on both sides rushed to stand up, as if they were afraid that they would not get the credit if it was too late.
Among these people, some were originally arranged by the third prince and the civil service group to impeach Zhao Xiaole.
There are also some who are unaware but follow the crowd.
On the contrary, the censors arranged by the prince were all confused.
Wasn't it just a show as promised?
Are you ready to come for real now?
They all looked at each other.
Do we still want to do this?
Looking at the prince's face that had turned black to the bottom of a pot, the third prince felt extremely happy.
He glanced at Liu Bern, who also happened to look towards him at this time.
Their eyes met, and the two of them smiled at each other in a tacit understanding, and then looked at the prince expectantly, as if they were watching a good show, to see how he would deal with such a predicament.
At this time, the prince also frowned and opened his mouth, but he was unable to defend himself.
Whether it was the forced demolition of the prime minister's palace gate or the robbery of the daughter of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce, it was a major event that would shock the entire Jingyang.
If one thing is not handled well, Zhao Xiaole may not be able to survive today!
At this moment, she felt extremely headache.
At this moment, the ministers kept urging: "Your Highness, if you don't kill this person, he will definitely bring greater disaster to Jingyang. Your Highness, please make a decision quickly!"
"Yes! Zhao Xiaole's crime is extremely heinous and unforgivable. Your Highness, please sentence this person to the death penalty as soon as possible!"
"If Your Highness doesn't kill this person today, we will all die here!"
I don’t know who it was, but he suddenly took the lead and said this.
This made the ministers surrounding him react immediately.
yes!
Isn't this a great opportunity to risk one's life to speak out and leave one's name in history?
Immediately, they all knelt down and shouted: "If Your Highness doesn't kill this person, we will all kowtow to death here!"
"Your Highness!"
"..."
The whole group of people in Wuyangyang all knelt down.
That scene was extremely oppressive.
Even the prince's eyelids couldn't help but twitch when he saw this scene.
His hands involuntarily grasped the armrests of the chair.
She felt a little regretful.
I feel like I was still careless.
This is why the current situation has become out of control!
She gritted her teeth.
She would definitely not kill Zhao Xiaole.
But is there any way to keep Zhao Xiaole and stabilize these ministers at the same time?
She frowned.
Looking at her tangled look, Zhao Xiaole felt a little warm in his heart.
He smiled, stood up and said: "Your Highness, since all the ministers are impeaching the slave, can I honor the slave and say a few words?"
"you?"
The prince looked at Zhao Xiaole with some confusion.
Logically speaking, in this situation, Zhao Xiaole, a eunuch, is not qualified to speak.
But she understood that since Zhao Xiaole dared to stand up, he must have his own confidence.
So she nodded.
But what she didn't expect was that Zhao Xiaole's first words after turning around immediately frightened her.
"You old men, kneeling here to force His Highness, are you trying to rebel?!"
