By that time, although it may not be possible to behead Yang Fan, it will be easy to demote him and dismiss him from office!

Although the emperor could forcefully favor Yang Fan, or even insist on supporting Yang Fan.

However, in order to favor one minister, he went against the majority of officials in the court, which would obviously lead to chaos in the court.

Which one is lighter and which one is more important is self-evident.

In view of this, these supervisory censors had the confidence to impeach Yang Fan, and even further forced the emperor not to interfere in Jiangnan affairs in the future.

According to general practice, based on the content of the censor's impeachment, the imperial court sent officials to conduct verification. As long as Yang Fan's incident was true, the emperor should temporarily remove Yang Fan from office.

At the very least, Yang Fan can no longer serve as the governor of Jiangnan Province.

Once Yang Fan was withdrawn, it would be a huge blow to the emperor's efforts to open up Jiangnan.

After all, the Jiangnan nobles would definitely not agree to the emperor sending his own people to govern Jiangnan again.

As a result, everything Yang Fan has done in Jiangnan will be in vain.

The successive impeachments have made the atmosphere in the hall extremely tense.

I saw Wei Zheng, the minister's provincial servant, walking out of the train and saying: "Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if you want to punish a person for his crime, you must have both the person and the stolen goods and all the material evidence."

"There is no evidence to prove that what Yang Fan did violated the national law. Once you easily dismiss a frontier official, how can you convince the world? Therefore, I ask your Majesty to think twice and wait until the facts are found out before making a decision."

Huang Luan, the supervisory censor, immediately quit his job and hurriedly said: "Master Zhongshu's words are wrong. As a public official, you naturally understand the responsibilities of the censor."

"I heard that filing a lawsuit is the power given to the supervisory history by the laws of this dynasty. Any official below the first rank in the dynasty can be impeached if they violate the law. Why is Yang Fan an exception? Do you want to put aside the laws of the Tang Dynasty to protect Yang Fan?"

This man has sharp teeth and is aggressive even when faced with Wei Zheng, a provincial minister!

Who is Wei Zheng?

How could Huang Luan, who could be said to be the most powerful troll in the entire court, be suppressed by Huang Luan's petty tricks?

Besides, the difference in official price level between the two is more than three levels. If they really had to argue, Wei Zheng would lose.

Therefore, Wei Zheng just smiled slightly and ignored Huang Luan. Instead, he said to His Majesty Li Er: "Your Majesty, it is the law of this dynasty to report rumors. This move can open up the world. I wholeheartedly support it!"

"But Wei Chen also knows that the authenticity of reports must be verified. The supervisory censors have no basis at all."

"Although the censor will not be punished for his words, this is just an enlightened move by His Majesty and is not a requirement of the law."

"Therefore, if everything is impeached indiscriminately without clear evidence, won't it cause panic among all the officials and cause chaos in the court? Please give your Majesty a clear warning."

As soon as these words came out, not only Huang Luan, but also the censors present suddenly changed their expressions.

The reason why the position of Supervisory Censor is so popular is that it has the power not to be punished for what you say.

Any official who wants to impeach can do so without any scruples. Anyway, he only has the power to impeach.

The final judgment is based on the emperor's arbitrariness. Whether it is right or wrong is decided by the emperor.

But if evidence is required to impeach everything, then his power to supervise the censor will be greatly reduced.

The most important thing is that this impeachment of Yang Fan oppresses the people, is cruel and unjust, and uses his power to seek ill-gotten gains...

These are just baseless speculations, how can there be any real evidence?

Even if there is, it is because the Jiangnan nobles made a mistake in the first place, allowing Yang Fan to seize the opportunity to be slaughtered.

Just when Huang Luan didn't know what to do, Wang Sui

Then he said: "Your Majesty, I do not agree with the statement of the Lord Attendant. Our imperial censors have the power to report rumors. As long as we keep our minds upright and conduct impeachments in a strict and fair manner, this is how we supervise the censors.

That’s where the responsibility lies.”

"As for whether there is any real evidence, that is a matter for subsequent official verification and has nothing to do with our supervision of the censor. Therefore, I request your majesty to issue an order to investigate strictly and escort Yang Fan back to Beijing."

Wang Sui looked serious and righteous on his face, but he was extremely proud in his heart.

Before the impeachment of Yang Fan, there was a tacit understanding in the Yushitai.

Although Yushitai is not a faction, almost all the people here are born into aristocratic families, and everyone has the same goal, which is to protect the interests of aristocratic families.

And Yang Fan's series of actions in Jiangnan were completely aimed at suppressing and annihilating the aristocratic family.

This is also the reason why the Yushitai Association united to impeach Yang Fan.

His Majesty Li Er looked around with gloomy eyes, but he did not make a decision. Instead, he said: "You are free to speak if you have any opinions. I will listen."

Wang Jifeng originally wanted some officials to agree with Huang Luan and Wang Sui, but he didn't want to be overtaken by the military attache.

I saw Cheng Yaojin striding out of work and said in a rough voice: "Your Majesty, I agree with the proposal of the Lord Attendant. If there is no evidence to arrest someone without evidence, wouldn't it be against the law?"

"Is it possible that Yang Fan was escorted back to Beijing for review just based on the trumped-up accusations made by these boys with red lips and white teeth? The veteran was the first to refuse to accept it!"

Speaking of this rumor, the military commander actually suffered a lot from this.

On weekdays, these warriors go out to conquer the world with their heads in their hands. What are they doing?

Isn't it just to confer a title on a marquis and a title on a general's wife?

These generals have a carefree temperament and have not read many books, so they usually act casually.

But because of this, military generals are often targeted by the censors, who look for them to make mistakes all day long.

As long as there is any clue, these censors will immediately expose it to the emperor.

Li Er has a more distinguished reputation, so he may not care too much about it, but a warning is also necessary, and it might just be a slap in the face and a demotion or a nobility.

Therefore, military commanders are the most dissatisfied with Yushitai's style.
