Second, before the two of them could bow, Emperor Taikang didn't ask about it either. When Wang Ziteng was still telling the truth, Yuan Ye fell to the ground and started wailing like a movie king.
It was as if he had suffered a great injustice.
Wang Ziteng was dumbfounded.
Good heavens, this person was so thick-skinned.
Can you be a human?
"What's wrong, dear minister?
Hurry up and get up. If you have anything to say to me, I'll make the decision for you.”
Emperor Taikang's face turned cold when he heard Yuan Ye's cries.
He stood up and walked around the dragon table to Yuan Ye. He helped Yuan Ye up and asked firmly.
When Wang Ziteng saw how Emperor Taikang treated Yuan Ye, his heart turned cold.
What kind of favor was this?
Even if there were old ministers like this in the past, Emperor Taikang had never personally helped him up.
Looking at Wang Ziteng, he knew that he couldn't let Yuan Ye beat him to it. Otherwise, looking at Emperor Taikang's favor towards Yuan Ye, no matter how reasonable he was, it would become unreasonable.
"Your Majesty is…"
"Shut up, I haven't asked you yet."
Just as Wang Ziteng spoke, he was stopped by Emperor Taikang's cold voice.
Wang Ziteng's face turned green after being reprimanded by Emperor Taikang.
He almost suffocated to death.
At the same time, Wang Ziteng's heart turned cold.
He thought to himself that he was probably going to die today!
"Beloved minister, tell me about it."
After scolding Wang Ziteng, Emperor Taikang said to Yuan Ye softly.
In Emperor Taikang's eyes, Yuan Ye was someone who was not afraid of the officials.
Now that she was crying like this, she must have suffered a great grievance.
"Sob, sob, sob, Your Majesty is like this. Today, this subject spent fifty thousand taels of silver to buy a house from the estate.
Then, before I could pack up, Wang Ziteng secretly mobilized troops to surround my residence.”
"I went out to reason with him. He said that the money Chen bought was obtained through corruption. He said that he wanted to avenge his brother-in-law, Jia Zheng, and even threatened to kill me.
This was under Tian Zi's feet!
Sob, sob, sob, I almost never saw Your Majesty again!”
Yuan Ye cried as he distorted the truth.
Yuan Ye's words had provoked Taikang Emperor's anger.
A private mobilization of soldiers was enough to make Wang Ziteng suffer. After all, the rebellion of the six kings had just been quelled, and Emperor Taikang's nerves in this aspect were very fragile.
In addition, he had threatened to kill his trusted aide to avenge his brother-in-law, which agitated Emperor Taikang even more.
Especially in the current situation, what Taikang Emperor hated the most was forming cliques to take over his position.
As for where Yuan Ye's money came from, it was naturally because Yuan Ye had reported to Emperor Taikang that Lin Ruhai had given him five hundred thousand taels for his marriage.
" Your Majesty, he's spouting nonsense. This…"
"Wang Ziteng, are you trying to rebel?”
Wang Ziteng's face turned pale when he heard Yuan Ye's words.
He hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but was rudely interrupted by the furious Taikang Emperor.
Now, Taikang Emperor couldn't listen to anything else.
Emperor Taikang only wanted to drag Wang Ziteng out and behead him.
"Your Majesty, heaven and earth can testify to my loyalty!”
Wang Ziteng knelt on the ground and explained to Emperor Taikang weakly.
Now, he really couldn't make sense of it.
Who asked Emperor Taikang to listen to Yuan Ye's slanderous words from the beginning?
He wanted to explain, but how could he?
Right now, Taikang Emperor was like a raging lion.
"Ha, alright!
Heaven and earth can see my sincerity.
Then tell me how to explain the matter of privately mobilizing troops.
Will they directly mobilize troops to surround my palace next time?”
Emperor Taikang heard Wang Ziteng's words and couldn't help but sneer. Then, he gritted his teeth and asked Wang Ziteng,"
"I don't dare!"
Wang Ziteng was so frightened by her words that he completely lost his composure.
Besieging the Imperial Palace was a great crime that could kill nine generations.
Even if Wang Ziteng was beaten to death, he would not dare to do so.
Moreover, Wang Ziteng had never thought of doing so.
"You don't dare? I think you're very bold!"
Emperor Taikang glared at Wang Ziteng.
"Your Majesty, this subject is guilty."
Wang Ziteng knew that it was useless no matter how much he explained. If he continued to explain, it might make Emperor Taikang even angrier.
He could only lower his head and plead guilty.
However, Yuan Ye and Emperor Taikang couldn't see the resentment on Wang Ziteng's face.
This was his hatred for Yuan Ye.
He wished he could tear Yuan Ye into pieces.
"You are guilty, you are guilty.
What a heinous crime!"
"However, considering that your ancestors have made outstanding contributions to the Dayu Dynasty, and you have worked hard all these years, I will not kill you. However, you can avoid the death penalty, but you can't escape the punishment.”
"Zhen will remove you from all your duties and go home to reflect.”
Emperor Taikang heaved a sigh of relief. He wanted to kill Wang Ziteng, but when he thought of how the four great clans were united, he had no choice but to remove Wang Ziteng from all his duties.
They said that they wanted Wang Ziteng to go home and reflect, but in reality, everyone knew very well that Wang Ziteng's career would be completely ruined in the future.
"Thank you…Your Majesty."
Wang Ziteng gritted his teeth so hard that they were about to shatter.
What was going on?
Not only did he get slapped for no reason, but he also got himself involved in it.
He was dismissed from office.
All his life's work had gone to waste.
How could Wang Ziteng tolerate this? But what could he do if he couldn't? Was he really going to rebel?
It was impossible even with his toes. The army of the magnificent Imperial City was so important. How could he instigate a rebellion?
"Your Majesty, the Wang Clan owes the Imperial Court a large sum of money.
Now that Wang Ziteng had made a mistake, he was no longer a member of the imperial court.
Shouldn't he return the money?”
Seeing this, how could Yuan Ye miss the opportunity to beat a drowning dog?
When Wang Ziteng heard that, he even had the intention to rush over and kill Yuan Ye.
This guy was trying to kill her.
"That's right. Wang Ziteng, it's time for you to pay back the money you owe the Imperial Court with interest.”
Emperor Taikang's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Then, he said to Wang Ziteng seriously.
"Your Majesty, this debt is too much. I…I can't gather so much money with you in such a short time."
So can you return a portion of it first?"
Wang Ziteng pretended to be pitiful as he tried to discuss with Emperor Taikang.
Emperor Taikang couldn't help but frown and think.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that won't do. The Imperial Court needs money now.
How could he let them return part by part?”
"Besides, we just want our own money back. We are not bandits or robbers.”
"Even if you don't have it now, you can buy your Wang family's land and shops to make up for it.
If you really can't do it, you can sell the fertile land in your ancestral land.
No matter what, he could at least gather enough money.
If it still doesn't work, you can borrow from the Xue family, the Shi family, and the Jia family. You guys are so good that it's impossible for you not to lend them to you.”
Yuan Ye wasn't prepared to let Wang Ziteng go.
