Almighty Nongmen Phoenix

Chapter 235; Removal

As the minister spoke bit by bit, Emperor Hongwen's complexion became more and more ugly.

And Gao Yanming, who was kneeling on the ground, turned slightly pale.

He never thought that the source of the matter was actually like this.

This shit is the solution that idiot came up with.

How dare you ignore His Majesty's orders like this.

"When the Gao clan was transferring money and food, they were discovered by the local people, and that's how things happened later."

As soon as the minister's words fell, Emperor Hongwen grabbed the white jade paperweight on the desk, and directly threw it at Gao Yanming who was below.

boom!
The paperweight didn't hit Gao Yanming, but when it fell next to Gao Yanming, it shattered immediately, and many of the blasted pieces fell on Gao Yanming.

It hurts, but Gao Yanming dare not make a sound.

"Okay, let's make a Jinyang Gao family, who knows his mistakes and doesn't correct them, and even tries to make a comeback."

"What do you want to do after your comeback? Do you want to rebel?"

"Who gave them such confidence?"

"Gao Yanming is that you?"

Gao Yanming was so frightened that he was trembling all over after being questioned several times in a row.

No matter how you answer this damn, no matter what you answer, you will die.

"Your Majesty, calm down. I have always been loyal to you and to Dongzhou, and have no second thoughts. Please learn from Your Majesty."

"Loyal and unyielding?"

Emperor Hongwen repeated it coldly, and then let out a cold snort of disdain.

"Your Majesty, the nature of this matter is very bad. I believe that the people who participated in the riots should be severely punished, and those who incited them should be found out, and punished with serious crimes to make an example to others."

Emperor Hongwen's anger hadn't subsided yet, and an official from the aristocratic family immediately stopped and interrupted, and diverted the matter to the other side.

It's not that the official is stupid, on the contrary, the official is smart.

Although standing up at this time may not necessarily lead to good fruit.

But if you don't stand up, Gao Yanming's position as left minister may be very dangerous.

Didn't hear His Majesty already asked who gave the confidence, was it you Gao Yanming?
Is that the case?

As soon as the voice of this family official fell, more than a dozen more came out one after another immediately.

They all wrote letters asking for severe punishment for those who instigated the riots among the people in Jinyang Mansion.

The law does not blame the public, and they stood up at this time, to put it bluntly, to shift the target and put pressure on Emperor Hongwen.

As for whether to severely punish the fanatics, of course it would be good, but if not, that would be a distraction from the topic, making it impossible for Emperor Hongwen to continue to attack Gao Yanming.

Looking at Emperor Hongwen at the top, seeing so many officials stand up, he immediately understood their calculations.

His face was blue and black, and his eyes were full of anger.

If eyes could kill, the officials below who stepped forward to put pressure on him would have been cut to pieces.

The entire Golden Luan Hall fell into a strange dead silence.

Wen Songtao did not come forward to express his opinion this time either.

It's not that he didn't want to deal with the officials of the family, but from the moment these officials stood up, he had already guessed what happened this time, and Emperor Hongwen couldn't continue to pursue Gao Yanming.

Facing the pressure from the aristocratic family, even if Emperor Hongwen had the heart, he had to weigh it carefully.

If he is standing up, how can His Majesty step down?

However, he still glanced at the officials who stood up, and there was a trace of strangeness in the depths of his eyes.

Because he found that among the officials who stood up this time, there were no members of the Dong family or the Luo family.

You must know that in similar situations in the past, officials from the four major aristocratic families took the lead, and then some officials from middle and small aristocratic families accompanied them.

This time the Dong family and the Luo family didn't get involved, which is very interesting.

Emperor Hongwen obviously didn't realize this. At this time, his heart was full of anger, and he secretly scolded the officials of these aristocratic families, and kept telling himself not to let these aristocratic families continue to be arrogant.

They have to be cleaned up quickly.

"His Majesty."

After a long silence, a heavy voice sounded.

Everyone turned their heads subconsciously, only to see Lord Zhen Guo, who had never expressed his opinions in court, actually stood up.

Emperor Hongwen's eyes deepened, and he said calmly, "What's the matter with Lord Zhen Guo?"

"The veteran feels that the nature of the Jinyang Mansion's affairs at this time is very bad."

"Ok?"

Emperor Hongwen narrowed his eyes, and traces of dangerous light gathered together.

"It's certainly wrong for the Gao clan to be obedient and obedient, but the two riots in the Jinyang Mansion within a short period of time have indeed had a bad impact."

"The veteran thinks that this case cannot be opened and must be severely punished."

"Otherwise, it's Jinyang Mansion this time, what about next time? It's hard to guarantee that other places won't follow suit."

His words attracted the approval of many people.

But the hearts of Emperor Hongwen above and Wen Songtao standing in front of the civil servants both sank.

These words of Lord Zhen Guo didn't seem to mean to intercede with the Gao family, but the statement was biased towards the aristocratic family, and he also agreed with the aristocratic family's statement that those who fanned him should be severely punished.

Does that mean that Duke Zhen's position has changed somewhat.

To put it more seriously, has he already planned to do something with the aristocratic family?
This made Emperor Hongwen feel the danger, and at the same time he was very dissatisfied with this uncle.

Just because he hasn't made the eldest prince the crown prince for a long time, does he want to disgust himself so much?Did he even hesitate to show his love to the family?
It hasn't been established yet, if it is established, wouldn't it be a disgruntled person who would force the palace?

Emperor Hongwen stood up angrily, his eyes swept over the line of officials below one by one, and finally fell on Gao Yanming.

"Since you are all talking about severe punishment, then I will immediately send someone over to investigate."

"However, before this, the Jinyang Gao clan acted viciously and violated the law. They were so daring and bullied the emperor. They were also treasonous."

"I've thought about why they are so bold, I'm afraid it's all because of some people."

Having said that, many people below felt their hearts skip a beat, especially Gao Yanming, an ominous premonition quickly spread in their hearts.

"That's why Gao Yanming was removed from the post of Zuo Chancellor, and he was confined to the mansion, and he was not allowed to go out without an edict."

As soon as this remark came out, the officials below were in an uproar.

"Your Majesty, no."

"Your Majesty, it has nothing to do with Prime Minister Gao at this time. It is very wrong for you to do so."

Those family officials who stood up spoke out one after another.

However, Emperor Hongwen ignored them and continued, "Where is Dong Qingyang?"

Immediately below, a middle-aged official walked out of the queue and bowed his hands.

"The minister is here."

"From today onwards, you will temporarily take over the position of Prime Minister Left."

The moment the voice fell, the family officials below who had been bouncing just now fell silent.

Dong Qingyang, on the other hand, was stupefied, completely unresponsive to this sudden arrangement.

To be precise, he never thought that such a big pie would hit him on the head without warning.

It took him a while to react, and he quickly knelt down and prostrated.

"Your Majesty's trust will definitely not be disappointed."
