Chapter 551

551 One person blocking the ministers (1)

“50 – 50?”

Ming Miao blinked and asked in surprise, “”Dog slave, you’re quite confident.”

Then, her charming peach blossom eyes glanced at Huai Qing and snorted, “”If you want to enter the palace, you can just look for me. Why bring some unimportant people?”

“You’ve become a lot more daring recently.” Huaiqing nodded and walked towards her.

According to the past, Lin ‘an would definitely be shocked at this time. He would jump around like a little rabbit and then slip away.

But this time, she didn’t leave. She proudly puffed out her small chest, put her hands on her waist, and actually chose to be stubborn and rejoiced. She shouted in a crisp voice,”What, was bengong wrong?”

Xu Qi ‘an stood between the two of them and said with a bitter smile, “”Your Majesties, please don’t make a scene. There are outsiders around, don’t make people laugh.”

Are you not an outsider? Huaiqing shot him a glance.

Huaiqing, who had a well-developed figure but an icy goddess-like temperament, frowned slightly. She realized that the relationship between Xu ningyan and Lin ‘an had rapidly warmed up in a short period of time.

For example, Xu Qi ‘an stood between them with his back facing Lin’ an and his face facing her. This was an act of subconsciously protecting the former.

Another example was when they came together, Lin ‘an and Xu ningyan were very close to each other, and had already exceeded the scope of etiquette between officials and princesses.

It was obvious that Xu ningyan was gradually getting closer to Lin ‘an. This discovery made huaiqing feel inexplicably irritated and uncomfortable.

“Your Highness, didn’t you ask me how you plan to deal with this case? I didn’t say it because I wasn’t confident. But now, what should be done has been done. Man proposes, God disposes.”

Xu Qi ‘an led the conversation, not giving the two princesses a chance to argue. Seeing that he had indeed attracted the attention of huaiqing and Lin’ an, he smiled and continued,

“In the beginning, I was distressed about how to prove Erlang’s innocence and that he didn’t cheat. But later, I found out that it didn’t matter whether he cheated or not.”

The new year was just a reason for the Civil officials to start a political game. It was just a reason, or a knife.

In layman’s terms, Xu Erlang was the victim of a political struggle.

Therefore, the crux of the problem and the key to breaking out of the situation was the words “political struggle.” Only by winning this war could Erlang get a fair trial.

Otherwise, was it really important for a person without any backing in the Imperial court to be innocent?

“What you need to do is to find him helpers, helpers that can win the court.” That was the difficulty.

“His identity as a student of Yun Lu Academy has caused him to be destined to be a rootless duckweed. It’s already extremely fortunate that you all didn’t kick him while he’s down, so it’s impossible for you to help him.

“If the Duke of Wei makes a move, then those neutral civil officials will also be involved. No one wishes to see Duke of Wei and Yun Lu Academy form an alliance, and I’m afraid that chief advisor Wang won’t turn a blind eye to it either.”

Huaiqing understood the profoundness of it, but what troubled her was the word “helper.”

Without Wei Yuan, how could Xu Qi ‘an find a force in the court that could compete with the Censorate of the left, Minister sun, Duke of Cao, and the assistant Minister of the Ministry of War?

His only source of confidence was Wei Yuan.

In this game, Emperor Yuan jing was only the judge … As long as he doesn’t take the initiative to mess with Erlang, I can still try … Xu Qian said.

………

The Lords entered the throne room and remained silent. After a quarter of an hour, Emperor Yuan jing finally arrived.

The reincarnated black-haired old Emperor was dressed in a simple Daoist robe with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. He looked like a Daoist instead of an Emperor.

After the normal Memorial, Minister sun of the Ministry of Justice suddenly stepped out and said in a clear voice, “”This lowly subject has a Memorial.”

In an instant, everyone looked at the back of the figure in the Crimson official robe. The slightly deathly silent atmosphere of the Imperial court seemed to have stirred up a turbulent undercurrent at this moment.

Vortexes of power surged through the court.

After the foreplay ended, the curtains slowly pulled open.

The Left Censor-in-Chief, Yuan Xiong, and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Yuandao, who had been planning this, quietly straightened their backs, showing their strong fighting spirit and confidence.

The Supreme Court officials and other parties involved in this matter curled their lips. They were waiting for the show to start, but they were also eager to start their revenge on Xu Qi ‘an and Wei Yuan.

Grand Secretary Zhao tingfang’s faction was alone, and their brows were tightly furrowed.

If it was any other time, he wouldn’t be afraid of the provocation between the factions, nor would he be afraid of the assistant Minister of War. However, the assistant Minister of the Ministry of War had come with the ‘general trend’ and tied the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion and the students of the Yunlu Academy together. If he wanted to clear the injustice of the Grand Secretary of Dongge, it would be equivalent to clearing the injustice of Xu Xinian. He would have too many enemies.

Outside and inside the hall, the other neutral parties were silently watching the show. In terms of position, he was naturally biased towards the Minister of Justice and not towards Yun Lu Academy.

“Please speak, my beloved.” Emperor Yuan jing sat high on the Dragon Throne, his aura exuberant.

“I have been ordered to investigate the case of Zhao tingfang, the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion, accepting bribes and leaking questions to candidates for the new year. There were three people involved in the case.The Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion, Zhao tingfang, and the Butler who acted as the middleman.

in addition, according to Xu niannian, he got to know the Grand Secretary of the East Pavilion through his brother, Xu Qi ‘an.

Minister sun finished his report.

The corresponding confession had been presented to the Emperor in advance, and any matter discussed in court would be presented a day in advance.

The Left Censor-in-Chief, Yuan Xiong, turned his body and looked at Wei Yuan expressionlessly.

The rest of the officials also looked at Wei Yuan, waiting for his response and counterattack. Minister sun’s move was to forcefully drag Wei Yuan into the water, not giving him the chance to stand by and do nothing.
