Crossing the Nongmen: The Space of Doctor Women is on fire!

Chapter 520 The Censor's Protection
Cao Fulu was ordered to summon several leaders from the three thousand elite troops to the palace. Before long, the generals truthfully recounted the scenes they had witnessed and the details of the fierce battle, causing all who listened to them to frown.

Their accounts were all pretty much the same; they were only loyal to the emperor and were simply stating the truth.

But some clueless people insist on nitpicking: "If what the soldiers say is true, then I would like to ask Your Highness, when you came to the capital, didn't you say that you were born in the countryside and that your parents were farmers? Where did you get all these extraordinary skills? Could it be that you are a spy sent by another country to destroy the foundation of our great nation and take its place?"

The minister became more and more excited as he spoke, his finger almost touching her face. Everyone else in the hall turned their gaze to her, feeling a sense of pleasure as if they had discovered the truth.

Yang Jinfan: "..."

What exactly is burning?
This person is a remnant of the He family. She only said a few words, and they already slapped a huge label on her.

Absolutely amazing.

“What I’m saying is true. I was just lucky. When I was young, I met a wandering Taoist priest. He said that my fate was wrong and that I shouldn’t have ended up in the countryside. So he taught me some things during the years I stayed in the south of Jiangnan, which gave me a chance to save my life and survive.”

"I am dull-witted and still cannot understand the profound meaning of the Taoist's words, but during the years the Taoist stayed, I studied diligently and assiduously. Although it was hard and tiring, I did indeed receive some of the Taoist's true teachings. This gentleman asks if I am a spy sent by another country. Please recall how I came to the capital. If you don't remember, you can ask His Majesty."

Yang Jinfan's voice was gentler than ever before when he attended court, yet his words struck a chord with people.

A moment of silence fell over the hall.

Who dares to question the Emperor?

Lu Qianhong stared at the tablet in his hand. Half of the densely written words on it were impeachments for the Princess’s absurd behavior. However, he had also heard that the three thousand elite troops were only given to him after the Emperor had urgently summoned them back to the capital. The Emperor was the one in charge. Questioning the elite troops was tantamount to questioning their master.
This girl is exceptionally clever.

"A wandering Taoist priest? Without any evidence, it's probably just something the princess made up to fool us because she couldn't keep up with her own lies!"

"Trying to fob you off? Who do you think you are? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue? Look at your own status, do you even have the right to question the Princess? Did you cure the plague in the world? Did you control the floods in Ji Province? Or did you quell the rebellion in Shu?"

"If the Princess were truly a spy from another country, why would she put herself in danger for the sake of the Northern Wind Kingdom and the people of Ezhou? She could simply stand by and watch the plague spread, waiting to reap the rewards of her efforts to ravage this land. The floods in Jizhou have been a problem for a long time, so why haven't any of you offered any effective solutions?"

"All you do is find fault with this or that. In my opinion, the real problem lies with you bunch of good-for-nothings who live off the emperor's bounty but do nothing to help! You can't lift a finger in war, and when it comes to solving major issues of people's livelihood, you can't even come up with the most basic way to resettle refugees. You just love to nitpick other people's minor mistakes and criticize them vehemently, a bunch of good-for-nothings who thrive on chaos!"

The resounding curses echoed throughout the hall, and the cane struck the smooth floor tiles with a thud, like a heavy hammer blow to the hearts of the officials.

"This old minister kowtows to Your Majesty, long live the Emperor!"

"Rise, my subject! Bring a seat." The morning court session was suddenly interrupted, but Emperor Jingde, unusually, did not lose his temper. He listened to the court session with great interest, and even hoped that the argument would become more heated. He also wanted to see what she would do when she was attacked from both sides.

"My dear minister, you have just recovered from a serious illness, so it is best for you to rest more."

"Your Majesty, I am grateful for your concern. It was thanks to your urgent summons of the Princess to treat me that I had the opportunity to return to court. I never imagined that in such a short time, there would be so many heartless and treacherous people in the court. It is only thanks to the Princess's magnanimity that she did not stoop to their level. If it were me, I would have broken his legs!"

"Before His Majesty, I urge the old general to be careful with his words!"

"The old general was healed by the Princess, so it's understandable that his gratitude might influence his opinion. While the Princess is certainly meritorious, it's also true that she forcibly entered the palace, offended the Emperor, demolished the city gates, and led her troops to the capital against the imperial decree!"

"If we only consider merits today and ignore faults, will anyone be able to rely on their achievements and do whatever they want in the future? Where will the laws of the country be? Where will the authority of the court be?"

Tang Shixuan couldn't help but roll his eyes. Were these people out of their minds?
Is the most important thing now to keep harping on other people's mistakes?
Shouldn't we deal with the traitors first?

"Your Majesty, I believe that judging the merits and demerits of the Princess alone is biased. The most urgent task is to first understand the details of the suppression of the rebellion in Shu, to convict the rebels, and to restore peace to the people of Shu. It is not too late to discuss the Princess after the merits and demerits have been determined."

"Your Majesty, I second that opinion! Although the rebels have been captured, and the Shu region is getting back on track under the management of the Princess and Lord Qi, the mastermind has now been escorted to the capital. There is no one to oversee the Shu region, which has just suffered from the rebels' ravages and still has many uncivilized areas. If this continues, I fear that more chaos may arise! I urge Your Majesty to make a decision as soon as possible!"

The Tang brothers' remarks instantly aroused the dissatisfaction of the He family's supporters. Other forces that wanted to suppress the princess were also happy to watch the show. They wanted to see how long Lord Tang Shixuan could stay in the capital after his resignation. Instead of keeping a low profile on his first day back in court, he would stand out as a scapegoat.

Her personality hasn't changed at all!

Feeling the different gazes from all sides, Tang Shiwen felt like he was being pricked by thorns. When he caught a glimpse of his brother's indifferent expression, he really felt like vomiting blood!

Although my brother's words today were more to the point than usual, it was clear that others couldn't stand someone who had just returned to the capital acting so arrogantly in front of a group of native Beijingers.

He was inwardly groaning, knowing he would have to expend a lot of energy out of his mind to outwit and outmaneuver others. It was exhausting!
Before those people could launch a group attack on Tang Shixuan, Lu Qianhong raised his tablet and took a few steps into the hall.

"Your Majesty, this old minister believes that the problem in Shu is urgent. The two brothers of the He family have secretly recruited soldiers and launched a rebellion. They have joined forces with a cult to attack the imperial army with evil objects. They have also entrenched themselves with local officials for many years, plundering the people's wealth. Their crimes deserve to be punished!"

"The He brothers dare to act so brazenly, it's likely that someone is acting as an inside agent. The prime minister and empress, currently imprisoned, are the most suspicious. The eldest prince, under the guise of gaining experience, ventured deep into Shu, yet failed to report the He brothers' treasonous acts. It's likely he's already colluded with them, plotting to seize the throne. The emperor is subject to the same laws as the common people. This old minister believes we should quickly eradicate the root of the problem, get Shu back on track, and then discuss the merits and demerits of the individuals involved!"

When everyone saw that Imperial Censor Lu, who usually disliked getting involved in disputes, had stepped forward to speak, they knew better than to say anything more.
