Chapter 25 Chapter 025: Drive them all out by me

"Your Majesty, the general is right. The Tutor and the Queen are not ordinary people. If there is no ironclad proof of this kind of thing, how can we convince all the officials."

"Please, Your Majesty, come up with irrefutable evidence."

Prime Minister Yuan Bo also said solemnly.

Poisoning the emperor is no small matter.

In addition, the identities of the Queen and the Tutor cannot be solved with just a word or a suspicion.

This requires ironclad evidence.

After all, once this matter is confirmed, Shengguang will be implicated.

Immediately afterwards, hundreds of officials spoke out one after another. They all wanted Zhou Chen to produce iron-clad evidence.

Especially the officials from the Queen's party had a rather aggressive tone.

They all knew in their hearts that if Zhou Chen really found out about this, they would all be implicated.

Therefore, their reaction is the strongest.

Zhou Chen watched the officials below stand up one by one to demand evidence, without much change in his expression.

Zhou Chen had anticipated this scene long ago.

After all, the status of the empress and the tutor was extraordinary, and they involved poisoning the emperor.

Indeed, it is not so easy to draw a conclusion.

However, this is not a big problem for Zhou Chen.

"irrefutable evidence?"

Zhou Chen glanced at the ministers.

"If there is irrefutable evidence, do you think it would be as simple as banning the Queen?"

Indeed, if there is ironclad evidence, Queen Wu Ying may not only be banned from Qingfeng Palace.

Instead, he was deposed to a lower position and sentenced to death directly. The other people involved had their homes confiscated and their families exterminated.

All officials know this in their hearts.

"I think you all know what kind of crime it is to poison the emperor."

"For such a serious crime, it is enough to be suspected."

Zhou Chen's meaning is very obvious, that is, as long as there is suspicion of rebellion and the serious crime of poisoning the emperor, there is no need for ironclad evidence. As long as there is suspicion, there is reason to confine the queen to Qingfeng Palace.

As for Taifu Yanhua, he committed suicide out of fear of crime and had nothing to do with him as the emperor.

This can be regarded as an explanation indirectly given by Zhou Chen to the officials.

However, when the officials heard that Zhou Chen had no solid evidence, he detained the queen in Qingfeng Palace and caused the Taifu to die in a prison.

Suddenly, the crowd became excited.

"Your Majesty, the Queen is a mother to the world, and the Taifu is an important minister left by the late emperor to assist the country. Since the Emperor has no ironclad evidence, please please the Queen and the Taifu to be innocent."

"The identities of the Emperor, the Empress and the Tutor are extraordinary. There is only suspicion but no ironclad evidence. How can they be dealt with so easily? Please tell me, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, Tutor has worked hard all his life and made great achievements. Even if he has no merit, he still has hard work! Now he lives and dies in a prison because of a suspicion. I am so heartbroken!"

…

General Wu Jin, Prime Minister Yuan Bo, and six ministers all spoke out, demanding that Zhou Chen must lift Queen Wu Ying's confinement from Qingfeng Palace, and return Taifu Yanhua's innocence.

Some veterans even cried directly and said that if Zhou Chen didn't agree, he would be killed directly in this Nourishing Heart Hall.

For a time, in the small Yangxin Hall, the ministers were all in different moods.

However, every face showed anger.

Zhou Chen saw this in his eyes, his expression extremely gloomy.

"What?"

"What do you want to do?"

"You want to force the palace to rebel?"

Zhou Chen glanced coldly at the officials below.

"Here comes someone."

"Kick them all out by me."

Zhou Chen said angrily.

It's not that Zhou Chen wants to overpower the officials, it's that Zhou Chen has no choice.

Zhou Chen cannot bow to officials, nor can he explain to officials.

Because Zhou Chen is the emperor of Zhou Dynasty and the master of the world.

No one can make an emperor bow his head, and no one is qualified to ask the master of the world to explain to him.

Imperial authority does not require explanation, only compliance.

After hearing Zhou Chen's order, Lu Bu led the Bingzhou Wolf Cavalry into the Yangxin Hall. Without saying a word, he forcibly drove all the officials out of the Yangxin Hall like wolves and tigers.

They are not the imperial army, and they are not polite to the officials at all.

Some officials who were angry and unwilling to leave, Lu Bu even asked Bingzhou Langqi to drag them out directly.

"Your Majesty, your arbitrariness and treatment of your ministers will chill the hearts of everyone in the world."

The officials were driven out of the Yangxin Hall, and Zhou Chen could still hear the officials' angry voices from a distance.

Zhou Chen slapped the jade case with a gloomy face, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, don't let me find out who is plotting against me, otherwise, I will wipe out your whole family."

Zhou Chen really got angry this time.

Not only did you take the blame, but you were also plotted against me to this extent. You deserve to die.

Zhou Chen could imagine what would happen if he drove all the officials out of the Yangxin Hall today.

Since ancient times, when ministers are at odds with each other, the court will be in chaos.

Once the court is in chaos, can the world of Zhou be restored to peace?

What worries Zhou Chen even more is that after today's commotion, the queen's relatives may become vigilant and in danger.

If someone has other thoughts, they might cause some trouble.

"It seems we need to prepare early." Zhou Chen's eyes flickered gloomily.

Zhou Chen originally wanted to boil the frog in warm water and did it step by step.

But now it seems that someone didn't give Zhou Chen time to boil the frog in warm water.

"Lu Bu."

Zhou Chen just finished speaking.

"The end will be here."

Lu Bu then walked in, cupped his hands and said.

"You take my token and go to Jin He later. This time you will personally assist Jin He in reorganizing the Forbidden Army." Zhou Chen was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Forbidden Army today.

If the imperial army had not stopped hundreds of officials from entering the palace today, the emperor Zhou Chen would not have been so passive.

In the end, they even forcibly drove the officials out of the Yangxin Hall.

If this spreads out, it is definitely a sign of a foolish king.

"As commanded."

Lu Bu took the gold medal given by Zhou Chen.

This gold medal is exactly the one Zhou Chen gave to Zhao Gao before.

Zhou Chen had just abolished the inner guard, and Zhou Chen naturally took back the gold medal in Zhao Gao's hand.

…

Cining Palace.

The Queen Mother listened to the news of the personal eunuch and said with a serious expression, "Confused, how could the emperor be so unwise and forcefully drive all the officials out of the Yangxin Palace? Doesn't he know the consequences of doing so?"

"There is also Taifu."

"The Taifu is an important minister left by the late emperor to assist the country and a pillar of the imperial court. He has a deep foundation in the imperial court. Why is the emperor so eager?"

"Now that the Grand Master is away, who can suppress the officials?"

The Queen Mother said with a worried look.

Grand Master Wen Zhong was a veteran of the Three Dynasties and the real pillar of the Zhou Dynasty.

If the Grand Master is here, no matter what happens, as long as the Grand Master is here, he can suppress all the officials.

But now, the grand master has gone to the four northwest prefectures to provide relief. If something unexpected happens, no one can suppress the court anymore.

"Queen Mother, as far as I know, the Emperor's people are investigating the murder of the Grand Tutor. I'm afraid there is another hidden reason in this matter."

oh?

When the Queen Mother heard this, her face was startled, and she frowned in thought.
