Hope Should I Win Your Heart - C238 private elite soldier
Fu Yuheng, wearing a dragon robe, sat on the dragon throne and coldly looked at Prime Minister Liu who was standing below him upon hearing his words. Was this the helper he had found after pleading for help? The biggest taboo in the imperial court was forming alliances.
In the past, it was fine if the Prime Minister Liu was like this, but now, a good opportunity had come knocking on his door … If something like this were to happen, he should have restrained himself.
“You think?” Looking at Li Yuhang, Fu Yuheng smiled faintly, making it difficult for one to tell his or his emotions. Li Yuhang also nodded brazenly, thinking that he heard it.
“This isn’t right, your majesty.” There were also others who were against this, and the older man stepped forward to stop him. He had already felt that the Prime Minister Liu was not a good official, but now, it had become even more corrupt.
Fu Yuheng raised an eyebrow, indicating for him to continue. He wanted to see how many officials in the imperial court were reasonable.
“Your Majesty, although this Ninth Prince is your own brother, he is of royal blood. But the Son of Heaven should be guilty of the same crime as the people, and should not be forgiven. And for him to do such a thing, it is simply a disgrace to our country. ” Seeing him nod his head, the Grand Scholar continued to express his opinion.
“Therefore, from this old official’s point of view, this matter cannot be appeased. It still requires a severe punishment.” He did not intend to target Fu Huaiyu, he just focused on the matter.
She looked up at him, waiting to hear his decision. Fu Yuheng merely smiled and did not speak, giving Li Yuhang an opportunity to continue refuting his words.
“The Grand Scholar’s words aren’t wrong, but Ninth Prince isn’t an ordinary prince. He is the empress dowager’s own son, and during the Jiangnan flood last time, Ninth Prince did a great service.” Li Yuhang glared at the talkative Grand Scholar, intending to use Fu Huaiyu’s contribution to speak up. But in his heart, he was panicking. Prime Minister Liu should have been able to speak a few words at this time.
At this time, the Prime Minister Liu wished that Fu Yuheng would not be able to see him. But in the end, the imperial harem and the previous dynasty were still separated, so he only needed to work for the Emperor more in the future. But he was more worried about whether or not his relationship with Fu Huaiyu had been exposed.
“So what if you have merits? “Don’t you see what kind of thing he did this time? This is a great disrespect to the emperor!” The Grand Scholar also retaliated with an unyielding stance. He lightly raised his hands and cupped his fists towards his seat, but his eyes were staring straight at Li Yuhang.
Some of the people in the hall who were colluding with others had started to talk about the matter, some were in favor of letting Fu Huaiyu go, and some were in favor of punishing him severely. Fu Yuheng knitted his brows and listened for a while before telling everyone to shut up.
Everyone immediately went silent. The great hall was completely silent as everyone looked at the bright yellow figure sitting in the seat of honor.
“I know that all my loved ones are doing this for me, Ninth Prince is indeed my royal brother, and has contributed greatly. Furthermore, although this matter is wrong, it is still a matter of the imperial harem. ” Glancing at the crowd, Fu Yuheng calmly spoke.
The Vice Minister Li thought that he was going to let Fu Huaiyu go and looked at the Grand Scholar proudly. However, his next sentence scared him out of his wits.
“But now, this matter is not only related to the harem, but also the entire river and mountains! Ninth Prince was secretly raising his private troops at Hu Youshan’s place, the various loved ones said, if he were to be charged with this, how will he be punished? ” As he said this, Fu Yuheng’s face was filled with disgust.
He really didn’t expect that this royal brother of his had such ambition and actually had the guts to covet his throne!
This… This was a heinous crime!
When the ministers heard this, they all looked at each other in shock, completely at a loss as to how to continue the debate. They were raising their own private soldiers. This was a rebellion. Furthermore, the matter of him and Imperial Consort Liu being in a mess was just an introduction, they did not know what kind of role Prime Minister Liu was in here.
They looked at each other, and in the end, their gazes were all focused on the shocked and despairing Prime Minister Liu, their eyes filled with curiosity.
“Your majesty, this humble subject is guilty. I haven’t found out the ins and outs of the matter, I ask that Your Majesty punish me.” Li Yuhang kneeled down with a ‘putong’. It was a huge crime to exonerate this criminal.
However, on the surface, he seemed worried, but in his heart, he was also blaming the Prime Minister Liu. He actually didn’t tell him earlier that the conspiracy between him and Fu Huaiyu had also been discovered.
“Those who do not know are innocent. We have not fully investigated this matter. Let’s discuss it in the future.” Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Fu Yuheng did not continue to scare them. He waved his hand and announced that he was retreating towards him.
The rest of the officials looked at the mighty Prime Minister Liu with different expressions before finally leaving on their own. Prime Minister Liu, who had not spoken a word, tremblingly returned to his own residence.
“It’s over, it’s all over.” Once they reached the manor, the Prime Minister Liu paced back and forth. Fu Huaiyu had already lost, and if he went to him, he would probably be dragged into the water as well. He didn’t expect that the matter of the conspiracy would be discovered. The entire Liu Estate would probably die by now.
In addition to what happened to Liu Chugrong in the palace, he actually became sick in despair.
With the fall of Prime Minister Liu’s backer, Fu Huaiyu, as well as the fact that he was bedridden, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity. Fu Yuheng’s mood improved greatly.
Sun Ning entered the imperial study with a face full of joy and bowed towards him, his voice even louder than before, “Your servant greets the emperor.”
A smug look flashed across his face for a moment before he suppressed it down. He put on a stern expression and said, with the demeanor of a king, “What is it?” His voice was slightly heavy, and his deep black eyes looked over at him in high spirits.
“Hu Youshan has sent the news and it has been successfully completed.” Sun Ning’s voice was unable to conceal his joy, the grand plan that he had planned for so long had finally been completed.
Hearing this, Fu Yuheng was not surprised, but his gaze wandered for a moment before shifting away from his body. This was within his expectations, “Continue to send a portion of people to protect Hu Youshan, so that no one will pay attention to him.” In order to ensure that this matter was done cleanly, he could not slack off in the slightest.
“This servant knows.”
He gave a light “En” and told him to leave. His bottomless black eyes narrowed as he looked towards that direction. The corner of his mouth slightly curled up as he revealed a mocking smile.
He was overestimating himself.
And at this time, the Ninth Prince’s Mansion had already been thrown into chaos. Within a night, the Ninth Prince had been imprisoned and no one dared to come forward to plead for mercy. The lord of one of the residences was imprisoned, and the imperial court had yet to give Fu Huaiyu and the Imperial Consort Liu a clear crime, so it was not good for them to make a move against the Duke Palaces.
Fu Yuheng had only sent troops to guard the Ninth Prince’s Mansion to prevent anyone from entering or exiting it. This was merely catching a turtle in a jar, but being convicted was only a matter of time. The reason he had sealed the Ninth Prince’s Mansion was to prevent his subordinates from being able to rebel.
