Chapter 14822 Defeated
"Your Majesty, the Emperor Taizu of our dynasty established the rule that the noble families and the royal family jointly govern the world, so as not to wrongly accuse a good person. Your Majesty is only one person and it is impossible for you to know everything in the world. At the same time, it is also to prevent Your Majesty from arbitrarily punishing people because of your personal likes and dislikes. This is why there is such a rule. Your Majesty, do you want to disrespect the ancestral system now and want to be a cruel and immoral soldier?"

At this time an old minister jumped out. This person was none other than the Chief Censor of the court, the head of the Wei family, Wei Shuliang. He was a censor, and his job was to give direct advice. No matter if it was a minister or an emperor, as long as someone made a mistake, he would speak out directly. If the emperor beat him or killed him because of this, it would be even better, as he would leave his name in history. Moreover, Zuo Qiuming would also leave behind a reputation as a tyrant who was good at killing censors and did not listen to advice. No matter who he was, he cared about his reputation, no matter if he was an emperor or an official. So it was not surprising that Wei Shuliang jumped out at this time. On the contrary, it would be strange if he did not jump out.

Zuo Qiuzheng was so angry that his face turned blue after hearing what Wei Shuliang said, but Wei Shuliang did not stop there. He still looked at Zuo Qiuzheng and said, "Your Majesty, whether a person is guilty or not depends on what he has done. It must be tried by the three courts, not to mention a senior official like Zhang Shunyi. Your Majesty has no evidence and directly ordered the arrest of someone. This is against etiquette and law. Please withdraw your order!"

Zuo Qiuzheng's face was extremely ugly. He looked at Wei Shuliang and said, "Wei Shuliang, do you really want to go against me? You don't think that I really don't dare to kill you, do you?"

When Wei Shuliang heard what Zuo Qiuzheng said, he couldn't help but said in a deep voice: "As a censor, if I see that the monarch has made a mistake and don't point it out, then how can I have the face to be the censor? If Your Majesty wants to kill me, please issue an order now." After saying that, Wei Shuliang directly took off the official film covering his portrait, stood there with his neck straight, and looked directly at Zuo Qiuzheng.

Zuo Qiuzheng looked at Wei Shuliang with a dark face. At this moment, Zhang Qingshan suddenly said, "Your Majesty, please calm down. It is not impossible for Your Majesty to punish Zhang Jiedushi as long as Your Majesty can produce evidence." Zhang Qingshan came out to smooth things over. He was really afraid that Zuo Qiuzheng would get so angry that he would order the killing of Wei Shuliang. If he really did that, it would be all over. The Wei family would definitely make a fuss, and Zuo Qiuzheng would not have an easy time either.

Zuo Qiuzheng glanced at Wei Shuliang, then snorted coldly and said, "Do you really think I don't have evidence? Someone, bring the evidence up."

Then Zuoqiu Zheng's voice was heard, and two young eunuchs came out with a light computer in their hands. Then they put the light computer in the hall, and the other young eunuch directly turned on the light computer. Then a projection appeared above the hall, and two pages of account books immediately appeared above the hall.

Zuo Qiuzheng smiled coldly. He looked at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice, "Look, these two accounts. One is the account submitted to the empire by the people of Dingyang Star, and the other is the account they kept for themselves. This is the evidence. Isn't this evidence sufficient?"

Those ministers all looked at the two accounts, but their reactions were not as angry as Zuo Qiuzheng had imagined, nor did they show any panic. On the contrary, their reactions were very calm, without any signs of surprise.

Wei Shuliang looked at Zuo Qiuzheng and said, "Your Majesty, are these two account books sure to be from Dingyang Star?"

Zuo Qiuzheng said in a deep voice: "Of course, can I really lie to you?"

Wei Shuliang said in a deep voice: "Then I wonder if Your Majesty has a confession, Zhang Shunyi, or other officials on Dingyang Star, to prove that this account book is the account book of Dingyang Star?"

"This..." Zuo Qiuzheng was stuck. He didn't know what to say, because he really didn't get any confession, nor did he get any confession from anyone. And his reaction was within everyone's expectations. In fact, everyone had known what was going on for a long time, but they were all pretending to be confused. They wanted to use today's incident to teach Zuo Qiuzheng a lesson and let Zuo Qiuzheng know that the Star Empire was not something he could do whatever he wanted. If they didn't cooperate, then he, Zuo Qiuzheng, would be nothing.

Wei Shuliang looked at Zuo Qiuzheng and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, if you don't have a confession and only have an account book like this, how can we believe that this account book was not deliberately made by a villain to frame a loyal and honest person and deceive Your Majesty? Please think twice."

Wei Shuliang still gave face to Zuo Qiuzheng and did not say that the account book was made by Zuo Qiuzheng. Instead, he said that it was made by a villain to frame loyal and good people and deceive Zuo Qiuzheng. This was already very polite, but at the same time it was equivalent to pointing at Zuo Qiuzheng's nose and scolding him.

Zuo Qiuzheng knew what Wei Shuliang meant, and his expression became even uglier. At this moment, Jia Yu suddenly stood up and said, "Your Majesty, this matter does seem to be suspicious. I think we should conduct a thorough investigation to see if someone is framing Zhang Jiedushi or if there is indeed something wrong with Dingyang Star. It won't be too late to deal with it after the investigation is complete."

Jia Yu stood up at this time, in fact, to rescue Zuo Qiuzheng. He had already seen that Zuo Qiuzheng was in a hopeless situation in this matter, and he really had no evidence in his hands. At this time, if he followed Zhang Ruyi and the others to resist, the one who would suffer in the end would be Zuo Qiuzheng. So he took the initiative to stand up and wanted to rescue Zuo Qiuzheng.

In fact, the people of the major families were also ready to quit while they were ahead. After all, they couldn't do anything to Zuo Qiuzheng. They just wanted Zuo Qiuzheng to be more restrained. So when they saw Jia Yu come out to help, they were not angry, but relieved at the same time. They were really afraid that Zuo Qiuzheng's subordinates were all young and inexperienced. If that was the case, the consequences would be really unimaginable. Fortunately, that was not the case, so they were relieved.

Although Zuo Qiuzheng understood what Jia Yu meant, he was still very angry. He said in a deep voice: "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to the three courts for trial. We must investigate it thoroughly. I want to see whether the people of Dingyang Star are guilty or I have wronged them."

When everyone heard Zuoqiu Zheng say this, they all breathed a sigh of relief. As long as the matter was handed over to the Three Departments, there would be no problem. The Three Departments were all people from major families. Whether there was guilt or not would be up to the people from the Three Departments. It seemed that Zuoqiu Zheng had given in.

Everyone responded, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Zuo Qiuzheng glanced at everyone again, then he stood up, flicked his sleeves and turned away. Fu Sheng hurriedly said, "Dismiss the court!"

Zuo Qiuzheng returned to his study and threw his teacup directly to the ground. Then he smashed the small table on the couch with a palm. He was really angry. He knew what was going on, but he could not do anything to Zhang Shunyi. This feeling of powerlessness made him almost crazy. He was an emperor, and an emperor could be so powerless. How could he not be angry?

At this moment, a young eunuch came in. He saluted and said to Zuo Qiuzheng, "Your Majesty, Lord Jia Yu wants to see you."

When Zuo Qiuzheng heard him say that, he couldn't help but snorted coldly and said, "What is he doing here? Don't go see him."

The young eunuch responded and retreated. At this time, Fu Sheng said, "Your Majesty, we still need to meet Lord Jia. Maybe he has some ideas?" Fu Sheng was very careful when he said this. He had discovered that after Zuo Qiuzheng became the emperor, he was less and less willing to listen to people's advice. Even when he was listening to Zuo Qiuzheng speak, he was extremely careful.

When Zuoqiu Zheng heard what Fu Sheng said, his face became even uglier. He slapped Fu Sheng in the face and said, "When is it your turn to make decisions based on my decisions? Get out of here." Fu Sheng was knocked to the ground by the slap. His face swelled up instantly and three teeth fell out of his mouth. However, Fu Sheng immediately got up, knelt down in front of Zuoqiu Zheng and said, "Yes, Your Majesty." After that, he left Zuoqiu Zheng's study.

When he arrived outside Zuoqiu Zheng's study, Jia Yu hadn't left yet. When he saw Fu Sheng's appearance, his face changed and he immediately bowed to Fu Sheng and said, "Eunuch Fu Sheng, this..." Jia Yu didn't expect that Zuoqiu Zheng would not see him. You know, he was the one who helped Zuoqiu Zheng out of trouble. Logically speaking, he had no faults but merits. He came to ask to see Zuoqiu Zheng but was not seen. This was a bit unreasonable. Now even Fu Sheng was beaten.

Fu Sheng shook his head, then opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood with three teeth in it. He then sighed and said, "Lord Jia should go back. His Majesty is angry now and won't listen to anyone. Lord Jia should go back first. When His Majesty calms down, he will come to see you."

When Jia Yu saw this situation, he could only sigh and said, "Okay, this is the only way." After that, he turned and left. In fact, Jia Yu also discovered that Zuo Qiuzheng was becoming less and less willing to listen to them, and he was also very impatient.

At this time, Zuo Qiuzheng was still sitting in the study room and was angry, but Fu Sheng did not dare to go far and still stood in front of the study door. He knew very well that if Zuo Qiuzheng couldn't find him for a while, he would only get more angry, so he didn't dare to leave. Fortunately, he was strong, and although his face was swollen, as long as the spiritual energy was circulated, it would not take long for him to recover, but there would still be a mark.

On the other side, Li Mingde also returned home. After returning home, he immediately reported what happened in the hall. Now it is easier for him to report things. He can directly use the Yantian Ball to report without saying anything.

This news was seen by Sheng Si at the first time. When Sheng Si saw the report, his eyes lit up. Then he decided to add fuel to the fire. He wanted to see how this matter would end.

Thinking of this, Sheng Si directly sent a letter to the ghost guards guarding the Sky Prison, asking them to act secretly and kill Zhang Shunyi directly. Later, Sheng Si thought about it, and he remembered that Decai seemed to be imprisoned in the Sky Prison as well, so he wrote another letter to the ghost guards guarding the Sky Prison, asking them to kill Decai as well, but to turn Decai into a undead. Of course, Zhang Shunyi also had to be turned into a undead, because Zhang Shunyi would still be useful in the future, and he had to make Zhang Shunyi obedient, so turning Zhang Shunyi into a undead was the best choice, and it was perfect for the undead to pretend to be dead.
