In the Political Announcement Hall.
The Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Zhang Yuanjing, couldn't help but curse in his heart,'Old fox!'
He couldn't tell them about the empress dowager.
After all, there was no evidence. Once he said it, he would offend the empress dowager for no reason.
His mind was spinning rapidly. After a moment of consideration, he said to Emperor Qian,"
"This is my fault. I didn't expect to be wrong about Wu Guang.”
"However, this person was examined and approved by many ministers.”
"It's definitely not that I'm bent on doing things my own way and nepotism…"
As he spoke, Zhang Yuanjing secretly gave a look to the ministers behind him.
The few of them immediately stood up and took the initiative to admit their mistakes.
"Your Majesty, we have failed in our duties!"
"I am ashamed."
"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"
Zhang Yuanjing and the others were not worried about any punishment.
This was originally an insignificant matter.
At the very least, the responsibility they had to bear was far less than that of Wu Guang's immediate superior.
Although they appointed this person, they were unable to supervise him.
Imperial Censor Yan Kang also acted according to the situation, hinting at his subordinates to follow suit.
"We have failed in our duties. Your Majesty, please punish us!”
"The Imperial Censor, Lord Yan, is completely unaware. If Your Majesty wants to punish us, then punish us!”
Seeing this, Emperor Qian's gaze swept across the crowd.
This matter could be big or small.
However, as long as there was no evidence to prove that Guang Wu's corruption and bribery were related to others, it was impossible to punish him for any serious crimes.
At the very least, it was impossible to give any substantial punishment to Yan Kang and Zhang Yuanjing.
Otherwise, so many officials would suffer!
This was definitely not a good thing for Emperor Qian, who had just ascended the throne.
The court was in turmoil, and the internal worries were even worse.
"Prime Minister, you have done a great job in this matter. It's all thanks to your keen observation that you managed to find the vermin in the court.”
"How do you think we should handle the responsibility?”
Emperor Qian remained calm, but a gleam of light flashed in the depths of his eyes.
He directly threw this difficult problem to Yan Luo!
In any case, the Imperial Censor was the Empress Dowager's man. If he wanted to offend the Empress Dowager, he would naturally let Yan Luo do it!
As for Zhang Yuanjing, Emperor Qian didn't know if there was anyone behind him.
He could try to rope them in!
If Yan Luo wanted to target Zhang Yuanjing, Emperor Qian might have to step in and protect him.
All the ministers were extremely nervous, wondering if this prime minister would make a big fuss!
It would probably cause turmoil in the imperial court!
Unexpectedly, Yan Luo only smiled faintly."
"I have always been clear about public and private matters."
"Ministers, you have not colluded with Wu Guang. Since His Majesty has severely criticized you, I believe that they will be strict with themselves in the future.”
"But…"
Yan Luo suddenly changed the topic!
"Since the Imperial Censor and the Minister of Personnel said that their judgment is not good.”
"Then there shouldn't be any problem with this Prime Minister's judgment, right?”
"Regarding this Prime Minister letting Liang Jin take over as the Imperial Censor, do the two of you have any objections?”
When Yan Kang and Zhang Yuanjing heard that, their expressions were unnatural.
Originally, they had planned to oppose this matter during the morning court session.
But now that Yan Luo had the initiative, it would be unwise for them to jump out and oppose it.
However, they were unwilling to give up the position of the Imperial Censor!
This position wasn't big, but it wasn't small either!
In particular, he had the power to supervise and impeach all officials. Once it fell into the hands of Yan Luo's subordinates, it would undoubtedly increase his power.
"If Your Majesty thinks that there is no problem, I have no objections.”
Yan Kang decided to throw the question to Emperor Qian.
"I have no objections, but Your Majesty can decide.”
Zhang Yuanjing echoed.
Emperor Qian pondered for a moment and nodded."
"Let's do it for the time being. If Liang Jin is competent after a period of investigation, he can be promoted!”
Just let Yan Luo's men plant them in. They were fighting with the Empress Dowager anyway!
Many of the ministers were surprised.
Recently, Emperor Qian seemed to be a little different.
Sometimes, it seemed like he wanted to target the Prime Minister, but sometimes, it seemed like he was biased!
It was completely unfathomable!
Even Yan Luo felt a little strange. He thought that Emperor Qian would be the biggest obstacle, but he didn't expect things to go so smoothly.
"Alright, this matter has come to an end."
"Is there anything else important to report?”
Emperor Qian asked.
The ministers did not speak, but Yan Luo took the initiative to speak,"
"Your Majesty, I received a secret message.”
"The Great Qi Empire has secretly gathered troops at the eastern border. They are ready to invade the border!”
"We must immediately dispatch troops to the eastern border, Bluestone City!”
"This matter cannot be delayed. This lowly subject has already appointed 'Jiang Tao' to lead an army of one hundred thousand soldiers as the commander of the Bluestone City army!”
The moment he said that, everyone was shocked!
"The Great Qi Empire is going to invade the border?"
"Why haven't I heard of this news?”
"Isn't the Prime Minister being too arbitrary, appointing a commander so quickly?”
"His Majesty didn't agree at all, right? They don't even know about this!"
"This is clearly overstepping the imperial authority!”
All the officials were shocked.
"Jiang Tao is indeed talented in commanding, but he seems to be a general under the Prime Minister, right?”
"Bluestone City is an important city on the eastern border. The position of commander is even more important!”
"I think it's clearly the prime minister's excuse! They want to control the army!"
"That's right. Why didn't we receive any news of the Great Qi Empire's big move?!”
Many of the ministers complained, but they did not dare to say anything!
They were waiting for Emperor Qian to speak!
Presumably, Emperor Qian would not allow the Prime Minister to do whatever he wanted.
As expected.
Emperor Qian's face instantly darkened. He was clearly furious!
She patiently said coldly,
"The intelligence network of our Da Qian Imperial Family is spread all over the world, but we haven't received any news.”
"Prime Minister, how did you know about this?”
Emperor Qian also thought that Yan Luo was just finding a reason to firmly control part of the military power in his hands.
The Great Qi Empire coveting the border and invading at any time was just an alarmist talk!
Yan Luo said solemnly,"
"This matter is absolutely true and cannot be delayed.”
"If Bluestone City falls and the army of the Great Qi Dynasty enters, the consequences will be unimaginable.”
"Your Majesty, who will bear the consequences?”
