The Regent's Sweetheart

Chapter 726
Above the court hall, all civil and military officials were sullen, because the regent standing there wanted to overturn the case for the Li family, the former Minister of the Household Department.

The door order Yang Wen'an, who was dressed in a purple robe and jade belt, stood up at this time.

Yang Wen'an was an old minister beside the late emperor, now in his sixtieth year, with gray hair and beard, neat and serious, his perennially solemn face could not find any trace of kindness at this age.

As a first-rank official, this person has a lot of weight in the court.

Yang Wen'an straightened the wat board, and his voice resounded powerfully in the hall: "Your Majesty, the regent, the old minister thinks that the case of treason by the Li family was decided by the late emperor himself, so there must be no mistake."

As soon as the words fell, a minister seconded the proposal: "The minister seconded the proposal!"

Sitting on the majestic dragon chair, Yan Anzhi lost the childishness of the past and became a little more calm. He cast a sideways glance at the regent next to him, and couldn't help frowning in thought.

Why did the Prince Regent suddenly want to reverse the case for the Li family?Looking at the face of the regent, it seems that he attaches great importance to this matter.

Facing the rebuttals from the ministers below, Yan Sihan didn't get angry, and said calmly: "This case was full of doubts back then, and the most important witness back then, Ding Fan, the servant of the household department, has now been found."

The regent is talking at the top, but the people below have different ideas, but they are similar.

Before the Li family stepped down, most of the officials in the court had ridiculed the Li family, and even wrote letters to urge the late emperor to kill all the traitors of the Li family.

Now that the regent wants to reverse the case for the Li family, he is not only slapping the face of the late emperor, but also slapping them in the face. What's more, everyone knows that the Li family still has a living. Li Maonian.

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

Liu Wenzheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, is the regent, so he doesn't want to stand up for the regent at this time, and he also has his share in beheading the rebels of the Li family.

Although he didn't want to, he had to do it, for the sake of him that the Liu family could still have incense.

So he took a deep breath, and stood up when the other ministers retorted, with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty, the old minister agrees with what the regent said. If the Li family is an unjust case, they should retry the case and return the Li family's innocence."

"How dare Master Shang Shu decide that this is an unjust case?" Zhao Taiwei was interrupted because of his words, so angry that he shook his sleeves and stared at Liu Wenzheng with anger and hatred.

"Lord Taiwei, above the court and before Your Majesty, please pay attention to your words." Liu Wenzheng spoke in a calm manner, and there was no refutation on his face, with a bit of arrogance in his calmness.

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

"Your Majesty! I agree with the Minister of the Ministry of Officials." Zhao Renhou also took the opportunity to say a word for the regent.

The most peaceful people in the entire court were Prince Duan and Lin Zhengyang. The two of them just made eye contact and didn't comment on this matter at all.

Now some ministers in the court think that what the regent said is right, some are neutral and no one will be offended, and the rest are very dissatisfied with this.

Seeing that this matter began to stalemate, the emperor Yan Anzhi, who had been thinking about it for a long time, said, "My dear friends, I agree with the decision of the regent, and I also think that what the regent said is very reasonable."
