“Brother, wait for me to finish.” Ding Yi’s face darkened.
Zhang Ronghua gestured for him to go ahead.
” She’s the eldest daughter of the Huo Family’s direct line of descent,” Ding Yi said.” She’s well-educated and reasonable. Even if I wanted to, she wouldn’t let me cross the line.” Unless you get married, then you can have your wedding night.”
“Then what did you take?”
“Hand!”
“???”Zhang Ronghua looked at him suspiciously.
Ding Yi explained,” You also know that I have a bad reputation. Because of His Majesty, Ling ‘er couldn’t reject me. During this period of time, we’ve been dating, and it’s been lukewarm. Yesterday, we tried to hold hands, and she didn’t reject. In the afternoon, I sent her back to the Huo family. Before I left, I even hugged her.”
“Just this?”
“Yes.” Ding Yi nodded heavily.
“Useless.” Zhang Ronghua was disappointed.
” Young Master, Qinglin, we’re here,” Uncle Ding reminded them.
The two of them stepped down from the small stool and tidied up their official robes as they walked towards the Imperial Palace.
After a while.
Outside the Purple Extreme Hall, they entered from the side door on the left and stood in line in the Imperial Censorate. Seeing Zhang Ronghua come over, some people glanced at him as if they were gloating.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t turn around, but his six senses were very strong. The feeling he had in the Reincarnation Mountain Range was even stronger. Although he had asked the Crown Prince just now and nothing had happened yesterday, he believed in his intuition. Something big must have happened. Otherwise, the atmosphere wouldn’t be so subtle.
Before he figured it out, he had to remain calm and wait patiently.
If something really happened, someone would definitely jump out at the beginning of the court meeting. It could not be resolved in a hurry.
The time was delayed. One after another, other than the officials who were on vacation, everyone else arrived. Eunuch Xiao brought two eunuchs in from the outside and closed the Purple Extreme Gate and the two side doors.
The Xia Emperor strode forward with his hands behind his back. He led the Crown Prince and Wei Shang from behind and stopped on the imperial platform. He sat down on the dragon throne. Zhang Ronghua didn’t know if it was an illusion, but he felt that the people around him seemed to be a little impatient.
Out of the corner of his eyes, he looked at Du Chengming, Li Yuliang, and Bi Fangjie. The two of them did not move and remained in their original positions. However, Li Yuliang’s body was tense, and his ears were perked up. He looked like he was about to step out of the line. Who was he going to challenge?
He couldn’t guess the specifics, but it must have something to do with him. Many people were Li Yuliang’s men when the First Division was crippled. They either didn’t move or attacked fiercely!
Lu Junxiu, Jin Yaoguang, and the others were all very hard. It should not be them.
Unexpectedly, he continued to wait.
Wei Shang took a step forward with a straight face.” If there’s anything, report. If there’s nothing, withdraw!”
Li Yuliang took the lead and stepped forward. He bowed and said loudly,”I want to impeach the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wu Jinxiu.”
A clap of thunder!
Other than a few people who knew the inside story, everyone present hurriedly looked over, then at the Crown Prince, and finally at Zhang Ronghua. The Imperial Censorate matter had not stopped yet. In the court yesterday, Zhang Ronghua’s faction had divided the fruits of victory and made a lot of money. They did not expect revenge to come so quickly the next day.
After all, Wu Jinxiu was much more important than the Imperial Censorate. She was still a second-grade official, and she was still ” young “. If she advanced further, she would be the Minister of the Six Ministries. Once she reached this position, she would be able to attack the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. Once she entered the Pavilion, her authority would skyrocket. With a stomp of her foot, the Great Xia Dynasty would be shaken. Every decision she made would affect the operation of the Great Xia Dynasty. How could such a big shot be impeached?
The Crown Prince’s expression did not change, but his heart was filled with anger. Wu Jinxiu was the person with the highest official position on the surface. Once he fell, the impact would be too great. He would silently tell everyone that he had lost the battle, that he could not protect his own people, and that his prestige would be severely damaged. It was very unfavorable.
Thinking quickly, Li Yuliang was involved with Wu Jinxiu. Could it be that he had important evidence in his hands? If he didn’t, it would be impossible to topple a Rank-2 official with just some rumors. At most, he would lose face. If he really did that, would he treat Zhang Ronghua as a decoration? He was probably next.
“Speak!” The Xia Emperor’s majestic voice rang out.
Li Yuliang took out a memorial from his sleeve and presented it with both hands.
Wei Shang walked down from the imperial platform and stopped in front of him. He took the memorial and returned to hand it over respectfully.
He took the memorial.
The Xia Emperor flipped it open and read it seriously. All the officials secretly raised their heads, wanting to see what was on his face. In the end, they were disappointed. At the Xia Emperor’s level, let alone impeaching the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Justice, even if the Shang Dynasty started a war, they would not frown, much less show their thoughts on their faces.
He finished reading it in one go.
The Xia Emperor looked at the ranks of the Ministry of Justice. His gaze fell on Wu Jinxiu. He threw the memorial over and said coldly,” Look at it yourself.”
Judging from His Majesty’s attitude, the things recorded in the memorial should be very important. Wu Jinxiu’s self-control skills were very stable, and she did not panic even if the sky collapsed. She bowed respectfully, bent down to pick it up, and opened it to take a look…
As expected!
Once again, it confirmed his guess that his sixth sense was right.
Zhang Ronghua didn’t understand. During this period of contact, Wu Jinxiu’s character was strong and her style was solid. What was it that made His Majesty so angry? How did Li Yuliang get it?
They had thought too much. They had just slapped the Empress in the face and taken down Bai Yichang and the others, and Li Yuliang had already made his move. They had already confirmed that Du Chengming was one of their people, and they were still investigating who Li Yuliang was. From this matter, combined with the previous reasons, could he be one of their people? If so, the Empress ‘power was really great. She had unknowingly won over many officials and held a high position. If not, who was Li Yuliang’s subordinate? By doing this, did he want to stir up a fight between the Crown Prince and the Empress?
