Night Emperor Crazy Concubine

Chapter 64 The Impeachment of the Emperor 3
After Zuo Xiang's words fell, as expected, the hall fell into silence again in an instant.

Everyone has different expressions, almost wonderful.

Those who can be officials in the court are not without brains. What does the queen mother say today mean, which one of them doesn't understand?
Although the empress dowager meant to impeach the emperor, what was the ultimate purpose of impeaching the emperor?It must be someone who wants to abolish the emperor and establish another——

Abolish the emperor.

As the queen mother, she does not have that much power, nor does she have that much influence and decision-making ability.

Although she is the empress dowager.

Although her father is the head of the country and her elder brother is the uncle of the country.

Although most of the Ouyang family's direct descendants and nephews have already entered the court as officials.

Although the power of the Ouyang family in the imperial city has been deeply rooted——

She still couldn't make up her mind.

The Ouyang family, with power over the government and the public, can act arrogantly and domineeringly, but once the imperial power is involved, it is a real life-threatening matter, and her means and courage are far from enough.

And after these words were spoken, how many people would really follow her will, even the Queen Mother Ouyang had no idea.

Therefore, regardless of the fact that so many ministers of civil and military affairs came to the court today, and no matter who the queen mother reached an agreement with in advance, how many people sincerely want to stand on her side, for most people, the deposed emperor will set up this matter separately. This matter is related to their wealth and lives, and if it is not done well, it will be a serious crime that implicates the nine clans. No one will be so stupid as this.

Therefore, even though she knew that she had the support of Ouyang and Huangfu's family behind her, as well as the tendency of the Qing Palace, the Empress Dowager Ouyang still didn't dare to directly say the word "abandoned emperor", at least, until she didn't get the support of the left and right prime ministers. , she would not be so stupid as to say these two words.

And Zuo Xiang's answer has undoubtedly explained his attitude.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Ouyang's face turned livid in an instant.

"Prime Minister Zuo, what do you mean, the emperor has come back this time, so the past nine years of negligence can be ignored?"

This sentence is obviously a bit unreasonable.

However, it's normal for a woman to be good at making trouble out of no reason, as long as she's not so stupid as to cut off all her escape routes.

"People are not sages, who can be without fault?" Prime Minister Zuo smiled lightly, as if he didn't take the queen mother in Chinese clothes and phoenix robes into his eyes at all, "The emperor is the true son, and the emperor has made mistakes. We are the courtiers who advise, if the advice fails, the courtiers have neglected their duties, and those who should be punished and questioned are the courtiers. The emperor is the master of the world, who has the right to impeach the emperor?"

Who is qualified to impeach the emperor?

No one has this qualification, not even the Queen Mother.

The officials understood what he meant, and at the same time broke into a cold sweat in their hearts.

Although it is a show of loyalty to the emperor, it is also an open confrontation with the queen mother, the left minister is very courageous.

"What a foolish and loyal minister!" The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and sneered, "What do you mean, if the Son of Heaven is stupid and ruins the country, no one has the right to impeach him?"

"If the censor impeaches a hundred officials, if the crime is true, His Majesty will decide whether to demolish the officials and send them to prison or exile for thousands of miles." Yun Tingyu still smiled lightly, without any surprise or fear, "Then what does the Queen Mother want to impeach the emperor?" The result? To overthrow the emperor?"

When the voice fell, everyone changed their colors in horror.

Overthrow the emperor?

They all understood what the Empress Dowager meant, but no one expected that he would say the four words that the Empress Dowager dared not say outright.

The Empress Dowager's face became extremely gloomy.

"The reason why the emperor became the emperor is because of the emperor's decree to pass on the throne. Ascension to the throne is a matter of course, and it is also in accordance with the destiny. In this world, except for tens of thousands of people, who is qualified to overthrow the emperor? What's the point of the empress dowager's impeachment? " Zuo Xiang looked at the silent ministers and smiled slightly. This seemingly gentle and harmless smile made most of the courtiers tremble with fear. "If the queen mother really wants to overthrow the emperor, impeachment alone is not enough. , if the Empress Dowager has enough troops, she can forcibly abolish the emperor and establish another, if not, impeachment is meaningless."

"Master Zuo's words are too rebellious."

A suppressed angry voice suddenly sounded in the hall, Prime Minister Zuo turned his head to look, and the smile on his lips became deeper.

The eldest son of the emperor, Feng Qingshu.

Prime Minister Zuo raised his eyebrows, "What advice does His Royal Highness King Yu have?"

"Don't dare to advise, who doesn't know that the power of the left and right ministers is equal to that of the emperor, how can this king dare to teach the left minister who holds great power?"

Feng Qingshu looked at him expressionlessly, and her usually gentle face was involuntarily stained with anger, "The emperor has been on the throne for nine years, no matter the courtiers or royal family members, the number of times he has seen the emperor can be counted on his fingers." Come here, the queen mother is thinking of the country and the country, so she risked the displeasure of the world, and she wholeheartedly hopes that the emperor will be diligent in government affairs and stabilize the country, why is she trying to overthrow the emperor?"

Are you in a hurry to deny it?
With this little courage and patience, how dare you think about the throne?

Ah.

On the other side, the prime minister on the right, Gong Zan, lazily raised his head and glanced at him, a trace of sarcasm crossed the corner of his thin lips, and he closed his eyes and remained silent.

"As I said just now, if the Empress Dowager does not want to abolish the emperor and establish another, but just wants to impeach the emperor, then there is no point." Zuo Xiang was not angry, nor nervous, and his tone was still calm, "Because no matter what Whether it is the prison of the Ministry of Punishment or the Department of Punishment, no one dares to send the emperor to live there for a few days, and no one dares to punish the emperor. If this is the case, why should the empress dowager make such a fuss and not please others if she offends others?"

Feng Qingshu suffocated slightly, then sneered, "Then Prime Minister Zuo means that you just let the emperor like this?"

"If not?" Prime Minister Zuo slightly raised his eyebrows, smiling calmly, "The country has not been ruined anyway, the court is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no internal strife or foreign invasion, and the world is peaceful... I think the emperor has done a good job. Well, you are a wise gentleman."

In any case, the emperor who can make the people live a good life must be a good emperor.

The people of Fengcang, who can eat enough and wear warm clothes, don't care whether the emperor is diligent or not.

"The court is stable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, there is no internal strife or foreign invasion?" The queen mother clenched her nails and smiled coldly, "Don't you think the words of the left minister are ridiculous? The current stability is due to the emperor, or you and me." The merits of the right prime minister? Your upright words sound righteous and awe-inspiring, and seem to be singing praises for the emperor, but in fact, you are greedy for power and unwilling to let go, right? You speak so grandly, and who knows that you are fighting in your heart? What kind of shady idea is there?!"
