After finishing speaking, all the ministers held up the wat tablets in their hands and moved forward to express their agreement with the imperial master's statement.
"I think it's inappropriate that a traitor should trouble His Majesty and other ministers in the court. Doesn't this make people laugh at the officials' inaction?" The old man who had previously retorted knelt on the ground and said sternly.
"Mr. Liu, this matter involves many things and is no longer a matter of the Ministry of Justice. I heard that when Mr. Wang entered Jinling, you wanted to take Mr. Wang to the Department of Criminal Affairs. It makes people wonder whether you, the Minister of Punishment, have any old relationship with Mr. Wang.
, you want to cover up people’s eyes and ears and kill people to silence them?”
"Bloody mouth!"
The Imperial Master sneered, pushed forward with both hands, and lowered his body: "Your Majesty, I believe that Mr. Liu should be sent to the Inspection Institute for investigation!"
"I second the proposal!"
"I also second the proposal!"
"Okay, we have urgently called everyone here tonight. The discussion is about Wang Zhenchuan, not for you to fight among yourself!" Zhao Dan waved his hands gently, feeling a little tired from this. He raised his eyes and looked at the Imperial Preceptor, "Just follow the Imperial Preceptor's method.
Let’s do it. At midnight tomorrow, let the officials of the fourth rank and above in Jinling City go to the Qianyuan Hall to debate!”
"According to the order!"
"Your Majesty, please leave!"
The scattered ministers stood up and left one after another. The Imperial Master stood up, raised his hands to the emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, I take my leave!"
"Master, move slowly!"
Zhao Dan sat on the dragon chair and seemed nonchalant. When everyone stepped out of the hall, his eyes flashed with light.
"Wang Zhenchuan——"
Outside the palace, a group of ministers saluted the Imperial Master one after another.
"Master, walk slowly."
"National Preceptor, please take the first step."
"Congratulations to the Imperial Master."
The old man surnamed Liu stepped out of the hall, glanced at the smiling Imperial Master, flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see who is the most powerful official in the Rouge Kingdom.
Soon, several young guards in the palace took the tokens and mobilized the twelve guards of Jinling to surround the Inspection Institute.
Wang Zhenchuan was sitting on the edge of the bed in the Inspection Court, staring blankly at the candlelight beside the table.
Mrs. Wang was lying on the bed. She coughed twice when she heard the movement outside the house and said, "I haven't closed my eyes for a long time. Let's get some sleep."
Wang Zhenchuan smiled bitterly: "The people of the Southern Region, the people of Rouge Country, the people of the whole world, should I say it or not?"
Mrs. Wang sat up from the bed and said in a weak voice: "You have lived for the people all your life, can't you live for yourself this time? Since Sect Master Jiang can keep you alive, just do as you are told, why bother?
As for myself!"
Hearing this, Wang Zhenchuan stood up with a rush, his face turned livid from holding back. After a while, he finally managed to choke out a sentence: "Women have long hair but short knowledge!"
"I am short-sighted. Even if you don't live for yourself, think about your children and grandchildren. You are a minister in the court, but you are my husband, Haoer's father, and the backbone of the family."
Wang Zhenchuan's body was trembling. He raised his head and looked out the window, looking at the moon on the horizon, and let out a long breath.
"But among those people, how many husbands, wives, and children and grandchildren are there? I also want them to make more preparations, even if it means saving one more person..."
A sleepless night.
Lin Yanli stood in front of a pavilion, holding a box of bait in his hand and throwing it into the pond.
Although she had not taken a step outside the courtyard, what happened yesterday was within her control.
Whether it was the discussions in the royal study room in the palace or the resolute actions of the Twelve Guards of Jinling, she knew everything.
As long as Wang Zhenchuan obeys her instructions, she will ensure that Wang Zhenchuan and his wife walk out of the gate of Jinling City safely.
Lin Yanli clapped her hands and sprinkled all the bait in her hands into the pond. She patted the ashes on her hands, turned to look at Liu Bailuo, and said: "Wang Zhenchuan has already set off, give those things to the Imperial Master, that
Don’t keep the Minister of Punishment named Liu.”
Liu Bailao nodded, flashed and disappeared into the courtyard.
Lin Yanli murmured: "Wang Zhenchuan, let me see what you will choose."
The huge Jinling City is as bustling as ever, with people coming and going, bustling and extremely lively.
In a relatively quiet street, a carriage was slowly moving towards the palace.
When passing through a busy street, the soldiers of the Twelve Guards of Jinling opened the way with their spears in order to ensure the safety of the people in the carriage.
The surrounding people watched the excitement and stood on both sides of the street, chattering and discussing.
"Hey, whose master is this? He's so angry."
"Don't you know this? These are the Twelve Guards of Jinling, the most elite soldiers under His Majesty the Emperor. Who can command them?"
"You mean the people in the carriage are royalty..."
"Hey, be careful what you say, be careful what you say!"
The carriage slowly passed the intersection, and finally slowly entered the imperial city and disappeared from the sight of many people.
For these people, this is just an interesting thing in their daily life.
The carriage entered the imperial city and headed directly towards Qianyuan Hall.
The journey was smooth and no one blocked it.
A minister who was acquainted with Wang Zhenchuan wanted to go forward and say a few words, but was shouted back by the soldiers before he got close. He had to give up the idea and followed the convoy to the Qianyuan Hall.
Wang Zhenchuan, wearing an official robe, sat in the carriage with his eyes closed and thought. After a long time, he felt the carriage stop before he opened the door curtain and looked outside.
As the governor of the Southern Tour, he had to return to the capital only once in three years. When he saw the Qianyuan Palace again after so many years, he felt unfamiliar.
Back then, he offended a prince and was expelled from the capital and sent to a remote town to serve as county magistrate. After many years of hard work, he climbed to the position of governor of the Southern Tour.
Now that he came to Qianyuan Hall again for an audience, it reminded him of his youthful and frivolous days.
An old eunuch quickly walked down the steps and came to the carriage. He raised his voice and said, "Master Wang, hurry up. Your Majesty is waiting."
"Master Wang, please!" A soldier came to Wang Zhenchuan and slightly bent down in a gesture of invitation.
Wang Zhenchuan took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, opened the curtain of the carriage, and stepped out of the car.
As the old eunuch walked up the steps into the main hall, a solemn and solemn aura came over him.
Sitting on the high platform is the current king of Rouge Kingdom—Zhao Dan.
He was wearing a black dragon robe and sitting in the main hall, his body straight.
Wang Zhenchuan took His Majesty the Emperor into his eyes, and after praising him in his heart as "wise and mighty," he kowtowed with his hands and bowed: "The sinner, Wang Zhenchuan, has met Your Majesty."
"No courtesy!" Zhao Dan waved his hand and looked at the old eunuch beside him, "Bring a chair to Mr. Wang. Today's matter will take a long time to discuss!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Wang Zhenchuan leaned over and got up from the ground. He raised his eyes and looked around.
The surrounding ministers were all sitting on chairs, and it seemed that they would indeed stay in the Qianyuan Hall for a while today.
