Chapter 722: Is the evidence conclusive?(2/2)
This will not stop the world from talking, and it will also damage His Majesty's wise image."
His Majesty Li Er stood up with a roar and said angrily: "Haha, you are really good ministers, you actually consider my reputation!"
Although I saw His Majesty Li Er boiling with anger.
But Wang Jifeng and others had no intention of retreating.
After all, they finally caught Yang Fan's handle and had the opportunity to push Yang Fan to a dead end. Of course, they would not let it go.
I saw Wang Jifeng leading a group of officials to kneel down and plead: "Your Majesty, in order to maintain the laws and regulations of the court, and to give an explanation to the officials and the people, please order Yang Fan to be escorted back to Beijing!"
Seeing a large number of officials kneeling down, especially Changsun Wuji, His Majesty Li Er really wanted to go down and kick this guy.
For some personal gain, regardless of his plan to control Jiangnan, Changsun Wuji, his brother-in-law, gradually drifted away from him.
Even though His Majesty Li Er was extremely angry, facing so many officials, he really couldn't do anything to these people.
Staring at Wang Jifeng, Li Er gritted his teeth and said word by word to the Yushi Yanguan: "You have always said that Yang Fan collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, and you want to punish Yang Fan severely. But if you say that this matter has nothing to do with Yang Fan, then you just didn't
If Yang Fan is impeached at will based on the evidence, what crime should he be guilty of?"
"this……"
Hearing the emperor's words, the officials didn't know how to reply for a moment, and all looked at Wang Jifeng.
They also wanted to confirm whether Wang Jifeng had any conclusive evidence.
After seeing Wang Jifeng nodding, Huang Luan and other imperial censors spoke up and said: "Your Majesty, if there is evidence to prove that the assassins had nothing to do with Yang Fan's collaboration with the enemy and treason, then we will admit that the petition to play Yang Fan just now is false."
In their view, Yang Fan would never be able to escape his involvement in the assassination case mentioned by Wang Jifeng.
Therefore, I don’t care much about the impeachments that just had little impact on Yang Fan.
The original reason why he held on so tightly was to criticize Yang Fan through those things and achieve the purpose of forcing the emperor to give up control of Jiangnan.
Now that we have a better handle, we naturally won’t care about the impeachment that has been reported.
Xiao Yu was a little amused when he saw the expressions of these officials who were full of wisdom.
If Yang Fan really released assassins secretly, or even collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, maybe the emperor would not protect Yang Fan.
But it is obvious that Yang Fan has now become the emperor's sharp knife to open up the situation in Jiangnan. How could His Majesty Li Er give up so easily?
No matter how many officials impeach Yang Fan, His Majesty Li Er will protect Yang Fan!
Therefore, Xiao Yu is 100% sure that His Majesty Li Er is setting a trap for these officials!
These civil servants probably thought that the assassin incident was the last straw that broke Yang Fan's back, and maybe they were cheering in their hearts!
How did they know, but they found an excuse for His Majesty Li Er.
More importantly, these censors also said so.
If there is evidence to prove that Yang Fan is not a traitor to the enemy, then other impeachments are equivalent to nothing.
Once the emperor reveals the evidence, it will be equivalent to putting an invulnerable armor on Yang Fan.
Therefore, Yang Fan and His Majesty Li Er are now in an invincible position!
Xiao Yu couldn't help but wonder, could this have been planned by Yang Fan a long time ago?
Otherwise, how could Yang Fan have arranged this matter so impeccably?
This thought made Xiao Yu startled.
If this is really the case, then Yang Fan is really terrifying.
If you want to know about the Fuso Assassin, it happened more than a year ago.
Could it be that Yang Fan had already started planning Jiangnan at that time?
Xiao Yu was extremely shocked, but the civil and military officials above the main hall were already in an uproar.
The assassin case has actually come to an end after the Cui family in Qinghe was destroyed.
Now Wang Jifeng and a group of officials from the Jiangnan gentry want to make a fuss about this matter again, obviously wanting to fight to the death with His Majesty Yang Fan and Li Er.
After all, once this matter was exposed, the emperor would not be able to explain it to the officials without getting to the bottom of it.
Now that the news has been suddenly revealed, how can it not cause an uproar?
After all, this involves collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country, which is absolutely unacceptable in terms of law and morality!
At this time, Changsun Wuji stood up from the train with a sonorous and powerful voice: "I, together with hundreds of officials, sincerely request your Majesty to verify the assassination. If Yang Fan is really suspected of collaborating with the enemy and treason, he should be immediately deprived of his position as the Commander-in-Chief, and the three departments will be convened for a review.
Punish Yang Fan severely!"
"Your Majesty, please verify this case!"
"Your Majesty, please capture those who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country, and enforce the laws and regulations of the country!"
"Yes, people like Yang Fan who cheat on others must be severely punished!"
"Your Majesty, in the great Tang Dynasty, something like this happened. I don't even bother to serve as an official in the same dynasty as Yang Fan! If this matter is not punished severely, it will not be enough to uphold the law of the country; if it is not punished severely, it will not be enough to anger the people; if it is not punished severely, it will not be enough to bring peace to the country.
The world!"
At this time, the crowd of civil servants was filled with excitement. Each one of them spoke righteously and directly transformed into a representative of justice. They wanted to behead Yang Fan, the culprit, right now!
Some civil servants who were close to Yang Fan could only look at each other and became silent.
After all, Wang Jifeng’s stance is obviously well-founded. How can one defend such a thing?
Just now, with the intervention of Wei Zheng, Cheng Yaojin and others, they proposed to verify the impeachment of the supervisory censors before discussing the next step, which has made Yang Fan's situation better.
After all, the impeachments of the Yushi Yanguan were all based on hearsay.
Even if one or two of them are based on facts, it's not a big deal.
Because this would not cause any substantial harm to Yang Fan, and the emperor could not just punish a feudal official just because he had heard about it.
After all, in terms of emotion, reason, and law... this cannot be justified.
But with the emergence of Wang Jifeng's impeachment, the situation suddenly reversed.
After all, solid evidence and hearsay are two completely different concepts.
It can be said that the current situation is extremely unfavorable for Yang Fan.
Once Yang Fan is escorted back to Beijing for review, it will not be said whether he is truly a traitor to the enemy.
As long as Yang Fan is transferred away from Jiangnan, the purpose of these officials' impeachment of Yang Fan will be achieved.
What's more, once it is verified that Yang Fan is really collaborating with the enemy and treason, not to mention that Yang Fan is just the emperor's son-in-law, even the emperor's son will be severely punished!
