When the ministers heard this, they were immediately in an uproar. The emperor's protection was too much.
The Zhou family and others, as well as Zhou Chen, secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the emperor looking like this.
The emperor is indeed on their side.
Especially Zhou Chen, who was under house arrest in the palace, had good food and drink, but he couldn't eat anything.
Worrying about your own fate day and night is simply a heart-wrenching torture.
Now, he can probably be sure that he will be fine today——
His Majesty the Emperor has probably found an excuse, and at most he will be punished with a small punishment or a big warning, with a proud smile on his lips.
Zhou Chen snorted coldly: "Perhaps it was the families of those soldiers who died unjustly on the border. They hated the Xiao family for their poor command, so they killed the Xiao family!"
Master Xu looked at Zhou Chen's proud expression, snorted coldly, cupped his fists and said——
"Your Majesty, during the border war that year, Marshal Xiao and others risked their lives to resist the enemy from outside the country. What's more, this incident has nothing to do with the Xiao family's murder case!"
Censor Mo also immediately said: "Yes, not to mention that the Xiao family, old, young, women and children are the family members of the meritorious officials. If we lose the battle, the general and the whole family will have to pay for it with their lives. Who among you dares to serve the imperial court again?"
He looked at the generals: "Do you dare, or do you dare?"
All the generals who were seen by Mo Yushi's mocking gaze showed sadness on their faces.
Yes, who is willing to work hard outside and lose the lives of his whole family if he loses?
Censor Mo even sneered and looked at Zhou Chen: "Or General Zhou dares to promise that he will never suffer defeat, otherwise he will tell you to cut off your descendants?"
Zhou Tongchen, not to mention Zhou Chen, could not stand this harsh and harsh questioning and said angrily: "Mo Yushi, what do you mean!"
He is his father's son, doesn't this curse him?
Censor Mo sneered: "You see, Colonel Zhou couldn't accept it in the first place."
Zhou Chen glared at his son coldly and said expressionlessly: "A dog can't speak. As a minister, of course I should protect my family and country and be loyal to His Majesty!"
Many ministers could not help but look sarcastic.
Yushi Mo unceremoniously acted as the mouthpiece for others: "General Zhou is so awesome, he can even flatter you at this time!"
"You..." Zhou Chen was annoyed and about to have a fit.
"Come here, because Zhou Chen had a grudge with the Xiao family twenty years ago, he secretly killed the old and weak women of the Xiao family, dragged Zhou Chen down, and killed him at a later date!"
Emperor Ming suddenly spoke up.
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the court were silent for a moment.
Afterwards, there was an uproar, and both Zhou Chen and Shangguan Hongye looked at the emperor in disbelief——
"His Majesty!"
"Father!"
They were completely shocked by the emperor's attitude and the huge reversal just now.
The Imperial Guards, led by Mu, the commander of the Imperial Guards, had entered the palace with knives, surrounded Zhou Chen directly, and dragged him out of the wheelchair.
"Father!" Zhou Tongchen's eyes were about to burst, but he was pinned to the ground by the imperial guards.
Zhou Chen was in disbelief and was forcibly dragged down by the Forbidden Army. He shouted unwillingly all the way: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...I am wronged!"
Emperor Ming said coldly and warningly: "Zhou Chen, your crime is unforgivable, but I think your whole family is innocent! But if you still dare to make excuses, you are committing a crime of rebellion and implicating the whole family!"
Zhou Chen was stunned and looked at Emperor Ming in despair. The emperor really gave up on him?
Why? It shouldn’t be! The emperor still has many uses for him!
Why did you give up on him so simply!
Mu Qingshu looked at Zhou Chen with disgust and coldly ordered: "Shut your mouth."
There is no soldier who disrespects Commander Xiao and the loyal members of the Xiao family.
In order to replace the Xiao family, this vicious villain carried out this vicious attack on the family members of loyal ministers.
