C110 Condemn

Mu Jun and Mu Quan arrived at the imperial capital. The Prime Minister didn't even look back before entering the palace for an audience.

The two of them kneeled down in front of Prince Jin Luan and said, "This official greets the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"

"My two beloved ministers, why didn't you stay in the military camp? Why did you come back?" The Emperor held his head on his knees with his right hand, and his left hand was resting on his left leg. He looked at the two of them, trying to probe them.

"Reporting to the Emperor, this official has a memorial here for the Emperor to read." The two of them submitted the memorial together.

Before Gonggong came to retrieve it, Yu Longzi stood out first. "Royal Father, the memorial must be submitted first. After the official reviews, it must be submitted. Why did the two ten-man marshals give it to Royal Father to read? Why not hand it over to the Imperial Court first? This son believes that it should be audited first!"

Ever since Zhou Xuanyi was impeached, Yu Longzi had felt somewhat uneasy. He didn't even know about Zhou Xuanyi buying a mansion. Now, Mu Jun and his brother had quietly returned to see him. Something must have happened in the military camp. It must have something to do with Lingchuan. Otherwise, how could he not tell Ling Chuan and ask him to come back?

"Imperial brother, your words are wrong. There must be an urgent report from the two Ten Marshals. That's why I rushed back with the horse. I thought that I should let Royal Father read it directly. " How could Yu Longchen let him and refute him? He turned to the Emperor and clasped his hands, "This son asks Royal Father to read the memorial."

"This son agrees." Yu Longtang agreed.

"I agree." Mu Po stood out.

"This official also agrees." More and more officials also stood up.

"Bring it up." The Emperor coldly ordered his father-in-law to take a few glances at the memorial before fiercely throwing it down the stairs. He stood up and pointed at Zhou Xuanyi. "Do you know your crime!?"

The Emperor was enraged, and everyone in the Imperial Court knelt down.

The Emperor took a few steps forward and heavily landed on the dragon throne. Zhou Xuanyi was a little confused, his hand still resting on the ground as he half stood up and replied in panic: "This official does not know."

"Lord Yang has submitted a memorial to impeach you for privately taking away the silver used to make armor and ordnance. This year, the amount of armor and ordnance materials sent over is less than a third of what it used to be. Let me ask you, where did the remaining tens of thousands of taels of silver go? " The Emperor patted the dragon head beside his hand heavily. It could be seen that he was extremely furious.

"Impossible. The armor and armaments were personally made by this official, and they were secretly made. Every single one of them is required to be made back!" Zhou Xuanyi's fear turned into fear, and he defended himself with all his might.

"Royal Father, Sir Zhou has been doing his duty. He has been the Minister of Ministry of Revenue for many years. No mistakes have been made, and armor and armaments are very important. How could he joke about the lives of his soldiers? What Lord Yang had reported might not be the truth. After all, none of us saw the armor and armaments that were sent over. How can we be sure?" Yu Longzi could not possibly not defend Zhou Xuanyi. The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War... It could be said that the lips died, and the teeth turned cold. They had a close relationship.

"This official believes that what Eldest Prince said is true. Lord Zhou is well aware of the severity of the matter. Furthermore, it is possible that he was subcontracted and framed, so he should thoroughly investigate the process of transporting armor and armaments. Find some clues and arrest the person behind it. " The Duke of Ling agreed with Yu Longzi.

"Emperor, this official thought that Lord Zhou bought the house with money of unknown origin. And now there is a memorial from Lord Yang's book, Lord Zhou corrupted the public money. Forgery of armor and armaments, every witness and material evidence is present. He should be removed from his post for investigation. " Mu Po and the High Duke of Ling had different political views, and the evidence was conclusive. Naturally, they cannot let go of any corrupt official.

"It is precisely because he has been an official for so many years that he did not make any mistakes that he was punished heavily today. Furthermore, this is not a mistake, this is a capital offense." Yu Longchen said as he looked at Yu Longzi. This was what he had said in the past.

"What Duke Ling said is a substitution. Just now, Lord Zhou said that it was a secret creation. In that process, one should be even more careful. If it was that easy to substitute, then... Why is it only this time, or is it that in the past, it was always like this?! " Yu Longtang went forward and questioned Zhou Xuanyi, making him speechless for a moment.

"Emperor, this official begs for forgiveness." Mu Jun and his brother kowtowed together to apologize.

"What crime?" The Emperor moved his finger with doubt.

"The sinner brought the armor and the spear's tip to the hall. The one we brothers brought with us was sent by the Ministry of Works this time. "

"Oh, Zhen forgives your innocence." The Emperor waved his hand. "Let's see how bold this Minister of Works is!"

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mu Quan took out the armor from his bag and Mu Jun took out the spearhead of the spear.

"King Chu, take a look." The Emperor raised his head and looked at the cold metal. He then looked at Zhou Qiuyi and snorted in dissatisfaction.

Zhou Xuanyi's body was trembling more and more. Yu Longzi wanted to speak, but he knew the Emperor's temper. It was best to shut up now.

"Your son obeys the decree." Yu Longchen bowed, went forward, and squatted down to take a closer look. The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, then he turned around to ask for the decree, "Your son believes that the officials who have been on the battlefield should be inspected once."

"Alright, High Duke Ling, all of you take a look." The Emperor pointed at the armor and weapons on the ground.

When all the military officers were done checking, the High Duke Ling looked at Yu Longzi and shook his head. Yu Longzi knew that Zhou Xuanyi was finished. He closed his eyes painfully and suppressed the strange feeling.

"The Emperor is indeed as Lord Yang said." Every official's answer was the same.

"Bang!" The Emperor patted the dragon's head again and pointed at Zhou Xuanyi's head and scolded, "What else do you have to say!?"

"This official was wrongly accused. Emperor, this official was wrongly accused." Zhou Xuanyi took a few steps forward and his words were trembling.

"Lord Zhou, send the armor and armaments you made to the army. If there is a war, how will the soldiers deal with it? Furthermore, you are in contact with the merchants of Yunmeng Country. I have to be suspicious. " Yu Longtang criticized Zhou Xuanyi. The meaning behind his words was: Zhou Revolving Wings had close relations with other countries, and they had also made those kinds of armor and armaments. He was afraid that he was a spy from another country.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the ministers present changed to one of shock. The Emperor was thinking in another direction, and Zhou Xuanyi was naturally afraid of the crime of selling his country. As he kowtowed, he spoke in pain: "Emperor, this official did not. This official is loyal to Dayong!"

"Royal Father, Zhou Xuanyi is corrupt and falsified. He affects the power of the nation and is secretly connected to the merchants of other countries. All nine of his family members should be executed as a warning to others!" Since he could not save him, he was now charged with the crime of selling the country. Yu Longzi was the first person to ask for punishment. He could not afford to get himself into trouble, so he was the first one to ask for punishment.

The Duke of Ling knows how to act according to the circumstances, and he agreed with Yu Longzi.

The Emperor was suspicious, and had long guessed that there was something about Yu Longzi. He looked at Yu Longzi and asked, "Indeed, nine generations should be sentenced to death!"

"Eldest Prince, save this official!" When Zhou Xuanyi saw that Yu Longzi did not save him but wanted to kill him, he immediately had no idea.

"Someone, drag him down!" The Emperor spoke. The royal guards went up to the front of the hall and dragged Zhou Xuanyi down.

"Alright, Zhen is tired, withdraw from the court!" The Emperor flung his dragon robe's long sleeves and followed behind the eunuch who was standing at the bottom of the stairs with his hands behind his back.

"Withdraw from the court!" The eunuch shouted loudly.

"Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!" Everyone knelt down in unison.

After the court session, Yu Longzi and the Duke of Ling walked behind. Yu Longchen and Yu Longtang caught up with them. "Brother, Duke of Ling, slow down."

Yu Longzi did not turn around. When the High Duke of Ling saw the two of them, he had no choice but to bow.

"Why are you running so fast?" Yu Longtang looked at Yu Longzi. The two of them were like fire and water, fighting from the dark to the open. "We will not disturb the two of you. Let's go first!"

Yu Longtang did not say anything. He only provoked Yu Longzi's anger. He clenched his fists and looked at the back of the two of them. He said with hatred, "Investigate clearly! What exactly is going on!"

"Yes." The Duke of Ling was naturally in fear and trepidation. Now that Yu Longzi's wings were slowly being broken, he could only be more careful.
