Those officials who impeached Yang Fan were extremely excited at this time.

But those generals and nobles who clamored to support Yang Fan didn't know what to do.

Yang Fan released the assassin and also provided weapons to the assassin. What else can he say to defend himself?

Although these generals are generals who crawled out of the dead, many of them are illiterate.

Precisely because of their bloody nature, they still disdain those who collaborate with the enemy and betray their country.

If Yang Fan really did this, not only would they not defend him, but they might actually attack him in groups.

The crux of the matter now is how much leverage Wang Jifeng and the others have caught on Yang Fan.

Just by looking at Wang Jifeng's expression and behavior, he knew that the other party must have some evidence.

Otherwise, I would never dare to ask Dali Temple to conduct a trial.

All the generals were silent!

They can support Yang Fan because Yang Fan is doing good for the empire.

But if Yang Fan really collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, then they would never go against the laws of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Jing also had to shut up.

He helped Yang Fan not only because he regarded Yang Fan as his disciple, but also because it was a secret request from His Majesty Li Er.

Of course, this is also compounded by the fact that he has a good personal relationship with Yang Fan.

Now that Yang Fan has been exposed as a treasonous traitor, Li Jing and other military leaders are helpless.

There was a commotion in the main hall.

Only His Majesty Li Er, who was sitting on the throne, looked gloomy and said nothing.

He just raised his eyelids and glanced hard at Wang Jifeng, the Minister of Punishment.

The peripheral vision of his eyes inadvertently glanced at Changsun Wuji who was standing in front of him, and there was an anger in his heart that was constantly surging like a vigorous volcano.

If His Majesty Li Er hadn't lost his mind and was restrained by his tenacious willpower, this anger would have burst out immediately!

Even so, Li Er's chest still rose and fell several times before he gradually calmed down.

I saw him slowly raising his hand and making a stop gesture.

The hall gradually became quiet, and everyone shut their mouths, waiting for Li Er's decision.

Although the officials who impeached Yang Fan felt that they were righteous and even stood at the highest point of the law.

But the imperial power has supreme authority. If His Majesty Li Er is determined to favor Yang Fan, then it will be useless for anyone to say anything.

This is the tyranny of imperial power.

It is precisely because of the tyranny of the imperial power that they united to create such a tense situation to force His Majesty Li Er to consider the overall situation and recall Yang Fan to maintain the stability of the court.

But what if the emperor insists on having his own way?

No one dared to bet on whether the emperor would take this step.

For a moment, everyone looked nervously at His Majesty Li Er to see what the emperor had to say.

Seeing this scene, His Majesty Li Er suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Everyone loves you, is loyal to the emperor, and is patriotic. Since everyone keeps saying that Yang Fan secretly released assassins and even collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, then I will convince you..."

The emperor's tone was calm, but the words "loyal to the emperor and patriotic" were deliberately emphasized.

Everyone could hear the sarcasm and anger mixed with it.

The meaning is obvious.

Are you so loyal to the king?

For the sake of profit, he can so unscrupulously knock down the most outstanding young talents of an empire, and even join forces to force the emperor. He is really loyal to the emperor!

As the emperor's words sank, the atmosphere in the hall was as quiet and solemn as if it had been frozen.

Those ministers clamoring for Yang Fan's impeachment couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Although Changsun Wuji looked calm, he felt extremely regretful in his heart!

This emperor is very vengeful!

He knew that his rash participation in the impeachment of Yang Fan today had obviously made the emperor really angry.

It seems that he was blinded by interests and hatred, and he could not see clearly the situation in the court.

Even if this group of people in Jiangnan use the country's stability today to force Li Er to submit, what will happen in the future?

As the empire became stronger and stronger, the emperor's control over the court became stronger and stronger.

Will Li Er succumb to the pressure of aristocratic family members again and again?

With the emperor's great talent and great strategy, he would not be willing to be forced by others and would make compromises again and again.

If you have patience to a certain extent, these obstacles will surely be cleared.

Aristocratic family?

Gentry?

Gate valve?

In the eyes of the emperor, these are all stumbling blocks to his control of the empire, and they will all be kicked away sooner or later.

If they can't be kicked away, they will use knives or hammers to smash them open.

Unless these stumbling blocks can voluntarily give way, they will inevitably be removed by the emperor.

This time the impeachment turmoil has developed so far, it is no longer just as simple as impeaching Yang Fan!

Does this involve court strife and threats to imperial power?

That means that if it continues to develop, it will inevitably trigger a strong rebound from His Majesty Li Er.

After all, if His Majesty Li Er does not fight back, the stability of the empire will be shaken and the supreme authority of the imperial power will be affected!

Originally, the officials in Jiangnan wanted to use the stability of Jiangnan to force the emperor to retreat, but now, the imperial power has been suppressed, and the entire court is unstable.

This is absolutely intolerable to His Majesty Li Er, who is wise and powerful.

Judging from Changsun Wuji's understanding of Li Er, someone must be unlucky.

Because this impeachment storm has gone far beyond everyone's control.

Changsun Wuji was full of bitterness and regret!

After this incident, the Guanzhong family must have been reduced to an extremely low status in the emperor's mind, and it would not be an exaggeration to even be hostile.

Even his eldest grandson's family is likely to be hated by the emperor.

Changsun Wuji could not imagine the consequences of being hated by the emperor.

After all, the Changsun family relies on the favor of His Majesty Li Er for what it is today.

Once the emperor's favor is gone, the Changsun family can only silently wait for decline.

Changsun Wuji was a little unwilling!

One wrong step, one wrong step!

It will be too difficult to regain the emperor's trust in him in the future.

Now the eldest grandson’s endless regret is turning green in his intestines!

But what can he do?

Judging from the current situation, as long as Li Er does not die, his eldest son, Sun Wuji, will not dare to have the desire to rebel.

As long as it is not a serious crime of rebellion, the emperor may remember his past friendship and will not kill them all.

If he continues to mingle with these people, I am afraid that His Majesty Li Er, armed with the fury of thunder, will ruthlessly destroy all the families in the world, even if the world is in chaos and blood flows into rivers, he will not hesitate!

Changsun Wuji calmed down, knowing that he had to side with the emperor at this time.

If it can be said that it was his duty to get involved in the impeachment of Yang Fan just now, then if he continues to be ignorant now, His Majesty Li Er will definitely regard everything today as being under the instruction of his eldest grandson Wuji. That would be a tragedy!

This pot is so big that his eldest son, Sun Wuji, cannot carry it!

Taking a deep breath, Changsun Wuji glanced at Wang Jifeng, flicked his sleeves, and stood out of the train.

"Your Majesty, I just thought that Yang Fan should be investigated strictly based on the existing evidence, but Your Majesty said that Yang Fan did not release an assassin privately, let alone collaborate with the enemy and betray the country. I believe your Majesty's words."

"In this case, then the impeachment of the imperial censor Yanguan who just heard about it is just a shadow of a doubt. These people are obviously impeaching indiscriminately with the purpose of disrupting the imperial court. The minister requests that the impeached officials be held accountable..."

Changsun Wuji's sudden change made Wang Jifeng's eyebrows frown slightly.

However, it quickly returned to normal.

Because in his opinion, even without Changsun Wuji's help, they could force the emperor to give in.

Of course, Wang Jifeng despised Changsun Wuji in his heart.

This old Yin man really knows how to protect himself wisely.

No wonder, in just a dozen years, the Changsun family has become one of the leaders of the Guanzhong family.
