The Regent's Tender Darling

Above the court, all the civil and military officials had serious expressions, because the regent standing there wanted to overturn the case of the Li family, the former Minister of Household Affairs.

Yang Wen'an, the door commander wearing a purple robe and jade belt, stood up at this time.

Yang Wen'an was a veteran of the late Emperor's side. He was now in his sixties, with gray hair and beard. He was neat and serious. His face that had always been serious and solemn could not find any trace of kindness at this age.

As a first-rank official, this person's words in the court were quite influential.

Yang Wen'an straightened the wat board, and his voice was sonorous and powerful in the hall: "Your Majesty, the regent, I believe that the Li family's rebellion case was personally decided by the late emperor, so there must be no mistake."

As soon as he finished speaking, a minister seconded the proposal: "I second the proposal!"

Yan Anzhi sat on the majestic dragon chair, less childish than before and a little more calm. He glanced sideways at the regent beside him, and couldn't help but frown in thought.

Why did the regent suddenly want to reverse the case for the Li family? Looking at the face of the regent, it seems that he takes this matter very seriously.

Faced with the rebuttal of the ministers below, Yan Sihan did not get angry and said calmly: "This case was full of doubts back then. The most important witness at the time, Ding Fan, the Minister of Household Affairs, has now been found."

The regent was talking from above, and the people below had different thoughts, but they all had the same idea.

When the Li family fell from power, most of the officials in the government ridiculed and despised the Li family. They even wrote letters urging the late emperor to kill all the traitors in the Li family.

Now that the regent wants to overturn the case for the Li family, he is not only slapping the late emperor in the face, but also slapping them in the face. What's more, everyone knows that there is still a living member of the Li family, and people in the world call him the best swordsman in the world. Li Maonian.

This man kills without blinking an eye. If the case is overturned, he will no longer be arrested by the government and can appear in the capital at will. Who knows whether this Li Maonian will avenge the Li family?

As the regent, Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of Civil Affairs, did not want to stand up for the regent at this time. It was his part to write a letter to behead the traitors of the Li family.

Although he didn't want to do it, he had to do it, in order to keep the Liu family alive.

So he took a deep breath and stood up when other ministers retorted, with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, I agree with the regent. If this is an unjust case of the Li family, the case should be retried to restore the Li family's innocence."

"How dare Lord Shangshu conclude that this is an unjust case?" Taiwei Zhao was so angry that he threw up his sleeves when his words were interrupted, and stared at Liu Wenzheng with an angry look.

"Sir Taiwei, above the court and in front of His Majesty, please be careful with your words." Liu Wenzheng spoke in a calm and unhurried manner, with no hint of refutation in his expression, and a hint of arrogance in his calmness.

This naturally offended the reluctant ministers, but except for a few high-ranking officials, the rest of the small officials did not dare to offend Liu Wenzheng, the Minister of Personnel.

"Your Majesty! I agree with the statement of the Minister of Civil Affairs." Marquis Zhaoren finally took the opportunity to say a word for the regent.

The most calm people in the entire court were Prince Duan and Lin Zhengyang. The two only made eye contact and did not comment at all on this matter.

Nowadays, some ministers in the court feel that the regent is right. Some of them are neutral and no one can offend them. The rest are very dissatisfied with this.

Seeing that the matter was beginning to reach a stalemate, Emperor Yan Anzhi, who had been thinking about it, spoke up: "My dear friends, I agree with the regent's decision, and I also think what the regent said is very reasonable."
