Wu Shulai, who had never seen Da Qian lose his temper like this, trembled again when he saw Da Qian's reaction.""Then what does Your Majesty mean?"
Da Qian looked at Wu Shulai with an extremely cold gaze. His eyes contained a bone-chilling coldness as he said,""I trusted Li Hanhai before, so I appointed him as the president of this exam. Who knew that he would bend the law for personal gain? Then there's no need for him to exist as the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites.”
Wu Shulai's heart turned cold when he saw the look in Da Qian's eyes. This was the first time he knew that the emperor's thoughts were unpredictable…
On the second day, the phoenix feathers were divided into three categories at dawn. The sky had just brightened.
Imperial Capital, Palace of Heavenly Purity.
The ministers who came to court had already lined up in four rows and were waiting here.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
Not long after, the eunuch in the imperial carriage shouted in a shrill voice that spread throughout the entire palace. The Emperor of the Great Qian Dynasty, who was wearing the Golden Emperor Dragon Robe and the crown of the Xia Dynasty, walked into the hall of invitation, followed by two palace maids and more than ten eunuchs.
"Long live our emperor!"
Seeing the Emperor sit on the throne, the officials in the palace knelt down and shouted.
However, the five people standing at the very front did not have to do so. They only nodded slightly when they saw that the Great Qian Emperor was still standing there calmly.
They were the powerful officials of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty, such as Ao Gui, Long Duo, Gongshun, Nalan Zhuming, Tutu, and so on. As Nian Yao was the governor of Sichuan and the general of Fuyuan, he was a major official of the border. He was stationed in Chengdu, Sichuan, and was not in the capital all year round, so he rarely went to court.
The Emperor of Da Qian sat on the dragon throne and looked at the ministers kneeling down. He was in a good mood. However, when he shifted his gaze to Ao Gui and the others, his face turned cold. Nalan Zhuming's face turned even colder.
"Everyone, please rise."
Da Qian suppressed the anger in his heart and tried his best to sound calm.
When the kneeling ministers stood up, Da Qian said,""Let's postpone the other matters for today. Let's discuss something first. Where is Li Hanhai, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites?"
An old man with a white goatee stood out from the ministers and bowed. He was wearing a flowery official hat and a golden pheasant official robe."Your Majesty, I'm here."
Da Qian suddenly flew into a rage without warning. He stood up and pointed at Li Hanhai with his right hand."Assistant Minister Li, how dare you bend the law for personal gain. You deliberately targeted Juren He Kun and kicked his essay that originally had the qualifications to be a Huiyuan high school student out of the high school rankings.”
The atmosphere in the Qianqiu Palace, which had been very relaxed just a moment ago, instantly froze.
The ministers, who rarely saw the Emperor of Great Qian getting angry, immediately controlled their breathing, afraid that any unnecessary movements would attract the Emperor's attention. The entire Palace of Heavenly Purity was so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
Li Hanhai was stunned by the sudden anger of He Da Qian. He did not expect that what he had done would be exposed so quickly, and the Emperor was furious.
Plop.
Li Hanhai knelt on the ground. He didn't quibble. He just buried his head and shook his skinny butt that was sticking up high. He shouted,"I'm innocent! Your Majesty. This old minister is wronged! Your Majesty."
Da Qian retracted his right hand that was pointing at Li Hanhai. The anger on his face had not subsided. He sneered and said,"Assistant Minister Li, it seems that you won't shed tears until you see the coffin!”
Then, he called Wu Shulai, who was standing at his feet, and said,"Book, bring He Kun's exam paper over and read it out to all the beloved ministers.”
The Great Qian Dynasty did not fight unprepared battles. Since he was preparing to launch an attack at the morning court today, he had asked Wu Shulai to order the people in the stick-stick office to go to Li Hanhai's study and retrieve He Kun's examination papers.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Wu Shulai took out the "He Kun" exam paper that he had prepared earlier. He stood in the middle of the palace and read it out in front of everyone.
The examination paper was very long. It took Wu Shulai an hour to finish reading the paper.
After listening to Wu Shulai's recitation, the officials of the imperial court who were standing could basically tell that He Kun's answers were extremely shocking and brilliant. Whether it was the eight-legged essay on the Four Books and Five Classics, the historical theory, or the final ancient poem, He Kun's answers could be said to have reached the peak.
Especially those three ancient poems, each emperor was a famous poem that could be famous for thousands of years.
In the past exams, it was at least enough to be in the top three of the exams, not to mention the top three.
However, such a good answer sheet actually failed in the general exams hosted by Li Hanhai this year. He didn't even get a place as an ordinary tribute scholar.
"Your Majesty, please show mercy. I believe Vice Minister Li did this because he was confused.”
"That's right. Assistant Minister Li is a second-rank official of the imperial court. If we punish Assistant Minister Li, it will damage the dignity of the imperial court!”
"Assistant Minister Li is conscientious and conscientious in his position as the Left Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Rites. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard.”
……
Although it was indeed Assistant Minister Li's fault, after the ministers fell silent, a large number of them stood up to plead for Li Hanhai.
It was not that they really thought that Li Hanhai had contributed to the imperial court, but that they were the same as Li Hanhai, officials who belonged to Nalan Zhuming, Ao Gui, and other powerful officials.
They belonged to the same faction. Now that Li Hanhai was in trouble, if they did not help, no one would help them in the future.
"There's no need to say anymore. I've already decided that Li Hanhai has neglected his duty and removed him from his official position. He will be dragged out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded. I will personally supervise the beheading. His family will be exiled to the border.”
However, Da Qian was determined to punish Li Hanhai this time. His cold gaze swept across the officials below. None of the officials dared to look at Da Qian directly and returned to their ranks one after another.
The reason why they had helped just now was that it would not harm their own interests. If they had to die with Li Hanhai, then forget it.# Date:09 7 2019 12:30PM
