Chapter 239: A Counterattack
Li Yan, you have done a good job in this matter, ...... I remember your work?
The ministers' eyes looking at Li Yan are no longer very kind, what do you mean by this? Join forces with the Emperor to us together?
The ministers talked a lot in their hearts, Li Dongyang, Liu Jian, Xie Qian, and the three of them looked at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Yang Tinghe, Yang Tinghe was also at a loss, and then the four of them looked at Li Yan, Li Yan was silent, and there was no expression on his face, but Li Dongyang saw it clearly, and the corners of Li Yan's mouth were clearly rising slightly!
This guy is doing something again! Li Dongyang didn't even have doubts, and directly confirmed in his heart.
"Your Majesty, can the minister take a look at what Li Qianhu presented to His Majesty?"
Among the courtiers, Li Dongyang slowly came out of the ranks, holding the plate in his hand, and said in a deep voice towards Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao didn't refute, his face was still carrying away, and his legs were about to tremble to the sky, and he was sitting on the dragon chair looking back and forth.
After taking the stack of letters handed over by the little eunuch and looking at it, Li Dongyang's expression was a little unpleasant.
These are all records of corruption and bribery by ministers! And each one is vivid, and it is actually classified into categories to list the table, as if it is afraid that others will not see it clearly, and there are annotations behind it!
You ......! Li Dongyang's face suddenly turned black, black as if he could drip thick ink, if he rubbed a brush on his face, he might be able to make a good landscape painting.
"Ahem...... Your Majesty, can you allow the old minister to say the last word? Li Dongyang stroked his beard and deliberately made an indifferent look.
"Ahma! Since it was Li Ge Lao who spoke, I definitely wanted to listen to it. Zhu Houzhao had a face that I gave you this face, and rubbed it on the dragon chair very tastelessly.
Yang Tinghe's old face was already dead gray, and his eyes were dim, Li Yan estimated that this old man had completely lost confidence in Zhu Houzhao at this moment.
Zhu Houzhao on the dragon chair does not have such a high consciousness, I am still in love with myself, and I look at Li Dongyang with a demeanor that I will give you face.
After reading the letters, Li Dongyang slowly returned to the court, no longer speaking, he had read it just now, and he also understood that the items in these letters could be said to be killer weapons, which were enough to impeach all the famous ministers recorded on them.
"Hmph......" Zhu Houzhao began to hum again proudly.
"You, you, you, and you, a few of you, come and have a look." Zhu Houzhao threw the letter in his hand very tastelessly and threw it directly in front of these ministers.
The ministers who were named couldn't help but be at a loss, what did they show themselves?
These ministers are not like Li Dongyang, who have just read the letter, but they can also deduce a thing or two just from Li Dongyang's expression just now,...... It's certainly not a good thing!
The ministers who were named didn't know that they still underestimated Zhu Houzhao, or perhaps underestimated Li Yan.
After receiving Zhu Houzhao's letter, the ministers first looked at it, then were stunned, and finally turned pale.
"Your Majesty, this is a frame-up!"
"Your Majesty, this must be the slander of this villain Li Yan, don't listen to it!"
"Yes! Your Majesty, how could a minister who is loyal to his duty do such a thing? ”
"Your Majesty, this must be a frame-up!"
The ministers complained one by one and proved their innocence, not only that, but some people passed on a look, and suddenly other ministers also pleaded for mercy.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this move was done by Li Yan alone, the purpose is to deceive the king, Your Majesty can't believe his words, and I hope that Your Majesty will deal with Li Yan and wait for me to be fair!"
"Please Your Majesty give me back and wait for justice!"
Zhu Houzhao was blinded, he was full of confidence just now, and he wanted to give all the ministers a dismissal, why is the situation reversed now? I didn't give it to the next horse, and I was bitten back?
"You...... You guys? Zhu Houzhao was so anxious that he stood up from the dragon chair and pointed at the group of ministers speechless.
No one interceded for Li Yan, only Li Dongyang and Yang Tinghe did not speak and remained neutral, but their expressions had already told everyone that I don't care about this matter......
"You turn black and white upside down!" Zhu Houzhao almost cried.
"Please Your Majesty dispose of Li Yan." The ministers did not give up.
"You guys are so vexatious!"
"Please Your Majesty dispose of Li Yan."
No matter what Zhu Houzhao said, the ministers' answer was to ask Zhu Houzhao to deal with Li Yan, how could Zhu Houzhao have ever seen this kind of formation, this is obviously forcing the palace!
"Alas, Li Yan, you have something to say!" Zhu Houzhao didn't even ask the minister this time, looked directly at Li Yan, and said anxiously.
"Your Majesty, justice is at ease in the hearts of the people, and it is not up to the ministers to judge whether these ministers have done those things or not." Li Yan's letter.
"Fart, Li Yan, don't think that you are a thousand households and you can do whatever you want with the support of Your Majesty, there is no part of your voice in this court!"
"Li Yan, you crazy fang, I will punish you today!"
After Li Yan finished speaking, the ministers stopped doing it, pinching their waists one by one like shrews in the market, and scolding Li Yan.
This group of uneducated ...... Li Yan didn't even bother to look at them.
"You said you would punish me today?" Li Yan glanced at the minister who had just spoken.
"Well, that! That's what I said, what's the matter! "That minister is from the Northeast, and he speaks with a smell of Northeast ballast.
The corners of Li Yan's mouth twitched, and his expression was not good. "Did you really say that?"
"That's what I said!" The minister was still hard-mouthed.
"Hmph...... "Li Yan I hummed twice as Zhu Houzhao, and then clapped my hands.
I saw a Yiren coming in from outside the main hall, followed by a few people who looked like merchants.
"My lord, with the blessing of the Lord, I have fulfilled my mission and succeeded in finding these merchants." The person who came saluted Li Yan, and said proudly, as if the lord had really spoken to him.
"Hahaha......" Li Yan laughed very vividly.
"What's your name, my lord? See if there's anyone you know? The corners of Li Yan's mouth were about to pull up to his ears to keep up, and he pulled out a businessman, pointed at the minister and slapped him directly.
"You shameless old man, even children know that they have to be punished for doing something wrong, what are you? Dare to say that your ass is clean? ”
After speaking, Li Yan arched his hand towards Zhu Houzhao. "Your Majesty, these businessmen are inextricably linked to the ministers on the roster, Your Majesty can ask them one by one to see if these ministers are human-faced beasts, and the letters submitted by the ministers are their daily contacts, and they are the ones who can be punished, so ......"
Speaking of this, Li Yan glanced at the ministers in the court. "Please ask the emperor to remove them from their posts and investigate them!"
