The First Auxiliary Road from the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1285 Right

"How dare you, a nobleman like you, talk nonsense!" Yan Yuan was about to argue when he was so angry that he staggered.

"If Marquis Ancheng is not qualified to make this suggestion, then what about my order?!" Sheng Ran looked at Yan Yuan indifferently.

Yan Yuan gritted his teeth, took the memorial that Cen Minzhou had picked up, pointed at the signature on it, looked directly at Sheng Ran, and asked, "Does the Queen want to punish me without asking for the reason based on these memorials?"

"If you are still not convicted despite so many accusations, then the past performance of the three judicial officials must be reconsidered."

"I refuse to accept this!"

As soon as Yan Yuan said this, his allies on the same team seemed to come to their senses and hurriedly agreed. For a moment, the words "We do not accept the defeat" rose and fell in the imperial palace like a tidal wave.

"Not convinced? Why are you not convinced? Are these accusations groundless? Or are these charges purely fabricated?"

“Empress, this memorial was sent by Ming Zhishan, the concubine of Prince Sui’an; and the author of this impeachment article, Hanlin Editor Wu Zhiping, are both descendants of common people in the former Qi Dynasty, and both studied at Taogui Academy.

There were also impeachers in this letter, this letter, and this letter. One was He Zhouzhou, a doctor of the Imperial College, Wen Zhichen, a deputy director of the Ministry of Works, and Tu Xiuying, the commander of the Imperial Guard. These two women and one man were all old friends. They first became famous in the Kyoto debate when the imperial examination for women was launched.

As for this impeachment booklet written by Xue Ziyi, the Grand Secretary of the Right Spring Office of the Chancellery, it almost makes me laugh. The similarities between these people who impeached me and the people in the cabinet are too obvious. I think with the Queen's wisdom, she should have guessed the mastermind behind these impeachments long ago!"

As Yan Yuan spoke, he turned his gaze towards Sheng Yuan, who was watching the fun with his arms folded.

“???” Sheng Yuan was full of question marks. She really couldn’t have imagined that someone would put the blame on her. She immediately pointed at herself, feeling both amused and annoyed, and couldn’t help but make sarcastic remarks.

"You're being so subtle, why don't you just tell me your name? And, you're the mastermind behind all this?! To be honest, if you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that I was the mastermind behind all this!"

Sheng Yuan pointed at the memorials that surrounded Yan Yuan and taunted: "Although I am not talented, I always admit what I have done! Unlike you, Prime Minister Yan, you have been exposed for what you have done, but you only say that the people who exposed you were instructed by others!

Ah, OK! Who told you to say that the Lord is the Prime Minister, my superior! You said it was my subordinate who was instigating it, so it is my subordinate who was instigating it! OK? !

Look, I have admitted it, what about you? Why don’t you admit it too! Come on, come on, people from the Three Law Departments, quickly take me and Yan Shoufu and others to the Dali Temple, first ask me to file a complaint, and then discuss the charges against Yan Shoufu and others!"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and walked towards Yan Yuan. It looked like she was going to drag him to the Dali Temple to talk. "..." Yan Yuan was stunned. He didn't expect Sheng Yuan, this brat, to dare to answer this question.

Who wants to talk to her in detail?! If she likes the Dali Temple, she can go by herself. He is not guilty!

Seeing Sheng Yuan walking towards him excitedly, Yan Yuan was about to bluff him, but Sheng Ran, who was watching all this quietly, interrupted the farce: "Alright! The grand court meeting is not the place for you to fool around!"

After that, she looked at Yan Yuan and said, "Prime Minister Yan, you should answer me first. Are these impeachment charges true or false? If you are vague, you and your cabinet team should go to the Dali Temple and make it clear!"

"The Queen is wise! It doesn't matter if I and the cabinet are wronged, but there will be no one to govern the court!"

"Cabinet rotation is the norm. Once this group of cabinet ministers leave, there will naturally be new cabinet ministers."

"We were appointed by the Emperor to the cabinet, and the Empress is in charge of government affairs. But how can she replace all of the Emperor's ministers on her own initiative?"

"Oh? You mean, I have no right to deal with you?!" Sheng Ran looked at Yan Yuan with an increasingly cold gaze.

Yan Yuan seemed unaware of anything and looked up at Sheng Ran who was looking at him.

In an instant, in the hall, the one above and the one below, the king and the minister, silently confronted each other with their eyes.

Although the two of them didn't say a word, the atmosphere in the hall was already tense.

Just when everyone was holding their breath and trying to pretend to be silent, the sound of a door being pushed open came from the screen behind Sheng Ran.

Then a familiar voice resounded throughout the hall: "Yanyuan, you said that the Queen has no right to punish you, then do I have this power?!"

Suddenly, the hall fell silent.
