It almost made some cowardly officials kneel on the ground.

All I saw was...

The imperial guards appeared quickly and completely surrounded the area outside the Imperial Study.

next moment.

With a loud bang.

The palace gates, which had been open for a long time, were now locked.

This is like catching a turtle in a jar.

The atmosphere instantly resonated with many people.

Because decades ago, blood was spilled in the palace, and when the new emperor ascended the throne, he purged his court officials in the same way.

Otherwise, we wouldn't have the current system of three institutes and six ministries.

Whenever there is a change in the court system, it will attract a group of self-important ministers.

By now, the grass on the grave must be three feet tall.

Seeing this scene for the first time also startled Li Chengze.

He secretly kept giving Li Chengqian frantic winks.

He wanted to know what his father really wanted to do.

But Li Chengqian, this fraud, truly only knows one side of the story and not the other.

Thinking that Li Chengze was provoking him, he glared at him angrily.

Why are you looking at me like that?

What's wrong with me looking at you?

Take another look and try it!

Li Chengze was a little confused.

This thing actually got angry, surprisingly.

All the officials were terrified. Could this anger lead to a bloodbath in the court, just like in the past?

That's impossible. Although Nanqing still has foreign enemies, its national strength is much greater than before.

Although there were internal struggles, they did not affect the overall situation of the court.

Emperor Qing cannot intervene at this time and affect the overall situation.

Squeak.

Just as everyone was lost in thought.

The door to the Imperial Study opened from the inside.

Soon, Eunuch Hou came out and called out to the officials below:

"The Emperor has decreed that the Imperial Censor Guo Zheng is impeaching Ye Wan of the Ye family."

They disregarded the rule of law in Qingguo and openly clashed with the residence of Guo, the Minister of Rites.

This caused turmoil among the civil and military officials of the court, and led to the order issued to Ye Wan, the general in charge of the city's defense forces.

Ye Zhong, commander of the Beijing Garrison Division, and Guo Youzhi, Minister of Rites.

He stepped forward to defend himself and prove his innocence.

At a command, Imperial Censor Guo Zheng emerged from the Imperial Study.

Looking at the civil and military officials, they stood tall and proud, like generals returning victorious.

What the hell?

Guo Youzhi, Ye Zhong, and Ye Wan were speechless.

The lid was already on, and you fucking lifted it, and it looks like you even smashed the pot.

When did an imperial censor become so brave?

He glanced at her subconsciously and looked at Princess Li Yunrui.

Everyone knows that the Censorate and Li Yunrui are inextricably linked.

now.

Li Yunrui also lives in Bengbu.

What is Guo Zheng up to? Many people know that Ye Wan and Guo Youzhi went to the Princess's residence.

Isn't this just contradicting myself?

He turned his head to look at the civil officials, including Lai Mingcheng, the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate.

The latter had been watching them closely, and upon seeing Li Yunrui's puzzled look, shook his head.

This indicates that it's none of his business.

Li Yunrui suddenly felt a headache coming on.

Could it be that Guo Zheng is so desperate for fame that he's willing to risk his life?

The three of them were even more speechless when they saw that Li Yunrui was also dumbfounded.

He stared intently at Guo Zheng and strode to the door of the Imperial Study.

However, Guo Zheng spoke directly to Guo Youzhi:

"May I ask, Lord Guo, did Ye Wan openly offend your residence yesterday?"

Who knew?

Guo Youzhi waved his hand.

"No, absolutely not. I am the Minister of Rites, and I doubt Ye Wan would dare to do that."

Guo Zheng was taken aback. What was going on?

Did you step into thin air?

Just then.

Among the officials, some stepped to the center and shouted upwards:

“Yesterday, we officials witnessed this with our own eyes. Is the Minister trying to cover his ears and steal the bell?”

Or is it that they secretly accepted bribes from the Ye family and disregarded the laws of Qing Kingdom?

This is too big a fuss for Guo Youzhi to bear. The problem is that he really doesn't dare to start another dispute, otherwise Guo Baokun's life will be in danger.

"What offense? Yesterday, Lord Guo invited me to his residence. Which eye of yours saw me offend him?"

Ye Wan coldly looked down.

But Guo Zheng caught him off guard and shouted:

"Oh? You need to bring a lot of servants when you go to visit someone?"

"You even smashed the door; you're probably just blatantly lying."

After saying that, he shouted into the Imperial Study.

"Your Majesty, your humble servant impeaches Ye Wan for deceiving the emperor before the palace!"

Beside him, Ye Zhong, who had remained silent, narrowed his eyes.

Their insistence on this matter confirms it; they were indeed after the Ye family!

The problem is obvious to everyone now.

This is a fairly large-scale attack, otherwise some civil servants wouldn't have stood up.

Moreover, these officials were not in low-ranking positions.

"presumptuous!"

Inside the imperial study, Emperor Qing's cold shout rang out.

Although the person was not seen, his indifference exuded an aura of domineering power.

The officials, both civil and military, were so frightened that they all knelt down.

No one knew that from the very beginning, Emperor Qing had been watching the situation outside through the gaps in the screen.

When he saw a group of civil officials stepping forward, a possibility immediately came to mind.

but.

To confirm this, we must force the other party to reveal their true intentions and all their cards!

"Guo Zheng!"

I hereby appoint you as the Grand Censor of the Censorate, the highest official position.

Instead of making baseless accusations and speaking off the cuff.

Do you even know what the crime of deceiving one's ruler truly is?

The voice just fell.

Guo Zheng immediately knelt on the ground.

His previous arrogance vanished completely, replaced by a cold sweat.

It was clear that Emperor Qing had already made a move.

Ye Zhong pulled Ye Wan behind him.

"Putting aside whether it's deceiving the emperor, may I ask, Your Excellency, is your reason for impeaching Ye Wan because of the unrest among civil and military officials?"

"Now, all I see are these turbulent civil officials. Where are the military officials you spoke of?"

As he spoke, Ye Chong opened his tiger-like eyes and turned to look at the ranks of military officers on the right below.
