I'm dressed as the villain of the novel

Chapter 136
Cui Cen finally entered the palace, but he waited in the duty room all night and did not see the emperor. The next day, he passed down an edict ordering that he did not have to have an audience, and went directly to the Zichen Palace to discuss the performance.

This is a bit of a joke.

But playing is just playing, what do you do.

If you were told to come earlier, if you didn’t come, now that you are here, do you want to see you when you come?
So Cui Cen can only enter Zichen Palace through Simamen.

When he came, the door of the palace had just opened, and the officials waiting in front of the door saw Cui Cen, all of them looked strange.

But no one came forward to say hello.

There is no place where the news of the world spreads faster than the capital. Naturally, the whole capital knows yesterday's news.

Naturally, everyone also knows that the era of this Prime Minister Cui is over, and what awaits him now is nothing but the final judgment.

And seeing him appear here, everyone also understood that it was not that he was still dead but not stiff, but that the emperor had completely grasped the situation, so he chose the seemingly most domineering, but in fact the most domineering way to end it. This power struggle.

At this time, whoever joins him in this time is not making fun of himself.

Not to mention others, even Cui Luan and his son Cui Wenhao didn't look at Cui Cen.

But this is not surprising, everyone has already known that these two people have a share of the credit among the people who pushed the prime minister's house down this time.

And Cui Wenhao is the first to bear the brunt.

On behalf of his father, he impeached Cui Cen for more than a dozen major crimes.

Although Cui Luan never came forward, Cui Wenhao's impeachment memorial was issued in his name, and now that Cui Luan is also here, it means that Cui Cen's real betrayal is gone.

Naturally, Cui Cen also understood all of this, but he didn't know whether he was really calm or forced to be calm, at least Cui Cen stood there, nothing unusual.

Apart from being a little haggard, his face was even more indistinguishable.

When the door of the palace opened, he swaggered in first.

No matter what other people think in their hearts, they can only follow. After all, Cui Cen still has the name of prime minister.

It was originally one of the duties of the prime minister to lead the ministers to play.

This is usually the case, and everyone didn't think it was unusual, but today everyone followed Cui Cen, and somehow felt a little weird in their hearts.

Not long after everyone stood still, Emperor Zhao Xin came to the Zichen Hall after the attendants sang, but what surprised the officials was that not only the emperor came, but also the Empress Dowager Zhao Cui.

Among the courtiers, seeing the Empress Dowager coming with the emperor, there was an inexplicable commotion.

Except for a few people who already know the details, most people still don't understand the situation.

They all speculated on why the queen mother came to court with the emperor.

At the same time, the emperor ordered someone to give the queen mother a seat, and then respectfully asked the queen mother to sit down, and then turned back to sit in front of the throne.

Cao Xiong, who was accompanying him, stepped out of the steps and sang loudly: "The emperor is coming to the court, and the ministers will play early if they have something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do!"

After singing, he retreated to Xin Zhao's side again. Xin Zhao glanced at the crowd, but finally his eyes fell on the Empress Dowager Zhao Cuishi, and she slightly cupped her hands and asked, "The Empress Dowager is coming to court today, and she said it was for a public case, but I have never done it before. Ask, what is the public case?"

Zhao Cui's face was expressionless, but he bowed slightly to return the emperor's salute, and then said calmly: "It is true that Ai's family is here today for the case of the Lin family 16 years ago, but this is not urgent. Your Majesty and all the ministers Let’s put state affairs first.”

Zhao Cui said it lightly, but there was another commotion among the crowd.

Except for a few insiders, no one would have thought that the Empress Dowager, who had not appeared in front of people for a long time, suddenly came today because of the Lin case 16 years ago.

Many people in the crowd had strange expressions on their faces.

Everyone subconsciously went to look at Prime Minister Cui Cen, but they didn't know if he had expected it, or if he was already in debt, anyway, he still didn't have the slightest expression fluctuation.

As if it had nothing to do with me.

"I see."

Seeing that Xin Zhao's brows were slightly wrinkled again, everyone nodded and asked downwards, "Masters, do you have a play?"

"The minister has the original play."

Before Zhao Xin finished speaking, Taichang Shaoqing Feng Zhong was the first to leave the class, and said proudly: "I have impeached Prime Minister Cui Cen's 24 serious crimes, all of which are listed in the list, please submit it to Your Majesty for review!"

After finishing speaking, he reached out and took out a memorial from his bosom, holding it above his head with both hands.

Feng Zhong's impeachment of Cui Cen was not at all expected by everyone, but the speed was so fast that everyone was shocked. Many people were already eager to try, and the minister who planned to take the opportunity to show his loyalty stamped his feet in hatred.

He cursed secretly in his heart: "Feng Shaoqing, you are so unkind, you have been here once before, the emperor has forgotten who can forget you, you can't let us once."

But it's useless to scold at this time, I can only resent myself for my lame mouth, and no one will open it.

But this time everyone has learned their lesson, and many people have already started buzzing their lips to prepare for exercise. They just waited for Feng Zhong's memorial to be presented, and after the emperor read it, ask again, and they will leave work immediately.

You can't be the first one, but you can do the second one.

Everyone thought well, but some people did not play their cards according to common sense.

Everyone was preparing for the exercise, but suddenly they heard the front line of the ministers, and someone said: "Your Majesty, Cui Wenhao also has this performance, and he played it on behalf of my father, impeaching the prime minister Cui Cen for hiding private soldiers, privately setting crowns, etc. All serious crimes are included in the list, please read it, Your Majesty."

"Pfft~ You still have something like this?"

Those people who were warming up almost vomited blood. We are all warming up, but you still wear it like this. You don’t follow the rules. You are...

Cui Wenhao smiled wryly in his heart. He didn't want to, but he couldn't help it. If others were not in a hurry, he had to be in a hurry.

It is impossible for Cui Luan, who is a doctor of imperial history, to be as "shameless" as he is, so as a son of man, in order to preserve the continuation of Cui's family lineage, and to save his father from being a "jumping clown", he can only be a jumping clown.

Although he had already stood in line before, but at this time he dared not let the emperor feel that he was just begging for perfection before, instead of truly showing his heart to the monarch.

And Cui Cen, who has always been silent, finally sneered this time, and looked at him mockingly, "On behalf of my father, is your 'my father' dumb, or is your 'my father' not in this court?" , someone else?"

These words were so sinister that the corners of everyone's mouths couldn't help twitching, and they secretly said: "Even my own brother and nephew are not on my side, it seems that I am still a little sad for this Cui Xiang."

However, although everyone disdains Cui Wenhao's actions, most of them can understand.

And after passing him this time, the crowd didn't dare to wait as usual, so they stood up one after another and said: "I also have this performance..."

And almost without exception, Cui Cen was impeached.

What's more interesting is that I don't know whether everyone has been prepared for it or should pay attention temporarily. Anyway, the crimes of impeachment are more serious and more than one.

The most powerful one actually impeached Cui Cen on [-] counts. Xin Zhao looked at the Zhongsan doctor and was a little surprised.

However, although he was very curious about what these crimes were all about, he was not interested in reading them. There were so many, it would be dark after reading them.

Immediately smiled slightly, waved his hands and said: "I am also shocked by so many people impeaching Cui Xiang, but there is no need to present these, let them all be given to Cui Xiang, I think he will have something to say."

Then he said to Empress Dowager Zhao Cui: "Empress Dowager, I have been in power for a short time in the Lin family case you mentioned earlier, so I don't know much about it. I don't know what is going on?"
