The atmosphere was a little awkward.
Zuo Zongtang seemed to understand what Liyun meant, so he stepped forward to speak.
"Your Majesty, this is the first sum of money I have prepared for the disaster relief. Please take a look.”Zuo Zongtang presented the account book.
Liyun took it and glanced at it. He didn't understand the specifics.
He had also gotten back the money he had spent on the imperial garden, but it was still a drop in the bucket.
Li Bin handed the account book to Zhao Gao." Pass it down for all the beloved ministers to take a good look.”
Then, Li Yun threw out the title deed and silver notes that Noble Consort Yang had donated.
The box fell to the ground with a bang, right in front of He Shen.
"Hmph, all of you, take a good look at this one. Noble Consort Yang gave it to this one, saying that it was to be exchanged for food for disaster relief. For the sake of the people, Noble Consort Yang did not hesitate to tighten her clothes and take out her dowry!”
"And you? What are you doing?"
"It's fine if you don't pay for disaster relief and share Zhen's worries, but you actually dare to slander Noble Consort Yang!”
Liyun slapped the dragon throne fiercely, making a look of anger on his face. It scared many of the officials so much that they did not dare to speak.
Liyun had a flash of inspiration and suddenly had a plan.
Thinking about how these old fellows were trying to make him look bad, he also wanted to play around!
He continued to flare up and pointed at He Shen,"The more I look at you, the angrier I get! Men, take me out and punish me with fifty pieces of cloth.”
Outside the hall, two rows of Imperial Army soldiers rushed in, ready to capture the person.
He Shen's expression changed drastically. How could a person be beaten to death by a battle? He and the kneeling ministers all looked towards Jiang Bie He for help.
Jiang Bie He's expression was ugly. Originally, he wanted to punish Yang Guifei if he could, but if he couldn't, he would just let it go.
He didn't expect Liyun to have such a big reaction. He had to scold more than ten ministers.
If he stood out, he would be in trouble. If he did not stand out, he would lose the hearts of the people.
He was in a dilemma!
"Your Majesty, you must not!"
"Even if it was a mistake to remonstrate with Milord and the others, it was for the good of the Imperial Court. If we punish more than ten officials like this, I'm afraid the officials will not be convinced!”
"My lords, you can't withstand the torture!”
"That's right! Your excellencies are doing this for the sake of the Great Tang's country, so your crimes do not warrant death!”
......
As soon as Jiang Bie He opened his mouth, more people spoke.
Gao Qiu, Guo Kai, and Jiang Yulin from the military took the lead and started to plead for He Shen and the others.
However, Li Yun was not his usual self. He wasn't very tough. He waved his hand and shouted at the Imperial Army,""What are you waiting for? Do you want me to arrest him personally?"
The captain of the Imperial Army, Chen Pu, was shocked and immediately arrested him.
For a moment, the hall was in an uproar, and all kinds of pleas for mercy sounded.
"They're all ministers of the Great Tang!”Li Yun's eyes sharpened." Take him out!”
Yang Zongbao had been watching the show and was gloating, but suddenly, Li Yun looked at him inexplicably. He was stunned for a while, and his eyes lit up before he reacted.
"Your Majesty, wait!"
Yang Zongbao waved his hand and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, this is not appropriate!" Yang Zongbao said righteously.
Jiang Biehe, Gao Qiu, and the others were all confused. It was possible for anyone to step out and plead for mercy, but it was impossible for Yang Zongbao!
Zuo Zongtang instantly understood and quickly echoed,"Your Majesty, please calm down. This is indeed inappropriate.”
"No, Your Majesty, we are remonstrating for the sake of the court!”
"Your Majesty, you can't do this to us. We know our mistakes.”
He Shen was about to cry. His beard was half white, and he was already in his forties or fifties. To punish him with fifty was equivalent to sending him to his grave.
It was no different from execution!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. 50 points is a bit serious. Why don't you remember it for the time being and let Lord He and the others atone for their sins?”
Zuo Zongtang frowned and stood up to plead. He was upright and spoke from the bottom of his heart.
He never deleted any comments. If there were no more, he would experience it himself.
