Reborn as the first poisonous concubine

Chapter 540 Bringing Down 15
"What Shen Shangshu said is very true. The ministers and others asked the emperor to thoroughly investigate the cavalry captain Chen Guang and Xuanwu king!" Prime Minister Han Yunzhi and Guanglu doctor Fan Qing said in unison.

After the two of them finished speaking, many ministers also cupped their hands and said in unison: "The ministers and others request the emperor to thoroughly investigate the cavalry captain Chen Guang and King Xuanwu respectively!"

"You guys!" Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao didn't expect that they would unite long ago, and they were waiting to impeach him together in the early morning court. His face changed greatly with anger, and he pointed at the officials and said sharply: "It turns out that you have already communicated. I just want to bring down this king!"

Facing Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao's angrily reprimanded, all the officials remained unmoved, even Lu Ziliang's henchman, Mr. Wang, looked coldly at Xuanwu King's discolored face, and couldn't express his displeasure in his heart!

They have always been at odds with Xuanwu King Xiao Zhaozheng. They had previously advised the emperor to hope that the emperor would appoint a prince as soon as possible. They hoped that the emperor would appoint the fifth prince, the son of concubine Duan, as the prince, so that their status in the court could be more stable. Who knows This Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao always goes against them every time, constantly breaking their advice!

Now that they finally have the opportunity to overthrow King Xuanwu and remove their biggest obstacle, why not do it? !

"As a subject, I only want to stabilize the court, why did King Xuanwu say such a thing?" Prime Minister Han Yunzhi said indifferently, and Xiao Zhao fought back so easily that Xiao Zhao had nothing to say!
"That's right, the prince broke the law and committed the same crime as the people. Your Majesty, if you don't thoroughly investigate King Xuanwu this time, the people might not accept it if it gets out!" Doctor Guanglu Fan Qing also said in a low voice, with firm eyes, waiting for Xiao Heng who is high above him. Make a decision!
Xiao Heng looked around the group of officials, seeing their resolute expressions, knowing that Xiao Zhao's matter might not be concealed any longer, he sighed silently in his heart.

It seems that today, he can't protect Xiao Zhao in public in front of civil and military officials!

Xiao Heng was silent for a moment, and finally said slowly: "Everyone's words are reasonable. The delay in military rations is no small matter. It should be thoroughly investigated! Sixth brother, before the matter is clarified, you will be wronged for the time being..."

When Xiao Heng said this, he ordered people to take Chen Guang, the captain of the cavalry, who had directly delayed the army rations, into court for strict interrogation, while Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao was grounded in the Xuanwu Palace. He was not allowed to leave the Xuanwu Palace until the truth was found out. step.

In order to prevent Xuanwu King Xiao Zhao from colluding with outsiders during the confinement, the outside of Xuanwu Prince's Mansion has been surrounded by the Habayashi Army, and no one in the Palace is allowed to enter and leave freely!
Even though Xiao Zhao was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to give up. When he retreated from the court, he cast a bitter glance at those ministers who took the lead in admonishing the emperor, and then flung his sleeves and left.

Xiao Heng didn't want to discuss any further, he rubbed his eyebrows and stepped back, his face was unprecedentedly gloomy.

The eunuch in charge, Chen Rong, saw Xiao Heng's complexion, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the matter of King Xuanwu had already been covered up, but for some reason, it still reached the ears of the officials. Lord Fan and Lord Shen are upright people. , once we learn about this matter, we will definitely advise the emperor..."

"It seems that someone deliberately spread this matter to the ears of the officials!" Xiao Heng snorted coldly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Now that King Xuanwu and that Chen Guang are going to be thoroughly investigated, what is the emperor's plan?"

"Chen Guang can't stay. If there is no evidence to prove his death at that time, a thorough investigation will be nothing!" Xiao Heng waved his hand, and said in a deep voice: "Go and send a secret order to the Tingwei Supervisor!"

"Yes!" Chen Rong's expression froze, he had already understood the emperor's intention, and took the order to leave.
