How can a mere enemy like me?

Chapter 59: Besieged on all sides, aiming to steal the country (seeking follow-up reading)
in the hall.

Emperor Wu sat upright on the dragon throne with a majestic and domineering posture.

And in the court, at the head of all officials stood an important official with the eyes of an eagle and the back of a wolf.

This person is the current left prime minister.

The reason why he was able to become the left prime minister, the head of all officials, was naturally not only because of his ability. In addition, his status was also very high.

As a veteran of the previous dynasty, the Left Prime Minister has been in the court for many years. Today, he has become the teacher of half of the civil servants in the court.

Such a person has extremely heavy status and background. Years of intrigue and struggle in the court have made him extremely capable.

In addition to the complicated relationships he has, touching him is equivalent to touching half of the civil servants in the court. I am afraid that the court will be paralyzed that day.

Therefore, even Emperor Wu had to show him some courtesy and not act rashly against him.

Fortunately, on weekdays, the left prime minister was very sensible and did not give Emperor Wu any difficulties.

Although there was competition between the monarch and his subjects, the atmosphere between them was generally harmonious on a daily basis.

But today.

This harmony was broken directly.

"Your Majesty, this old minister is impeaching Su Bai for being arrogant and bullying the people!"

As soon as the court session started, the left prime minister came out, shouted loudly, and stabbed Su Bai with a knife.

"Your Majesty, Su Bai forcibly abducted a commoner girl, not only ruining Xiao Yunyun's innocence, but he also forcibly abducted someone else's fiancée."

"This act is truly against morality and disregards the laws of Daxia. This boy, relying on Your Majesty's favor, is acting recklessly and horrifyingly. If we don't punish him, he will cause a disaster!"

"This old minister requests that Your Majesty conduct a thorough investigation into this matter and severely punish Su Bai, so as to bring justice to the people and restore the integrity of the Great Xia officialdom!"

As an old minister whose students and former officials are spread all over the court, how could he possibly make the request on his own?

Although he was only the teacher of half of the civil servants in the court, his deterrent power covered all the civil servants in the court. Almost all the civil servants standing in this court followed his lead.

Today, he personally led a group of civil servants to impeach.

At the moment when the left minister's voice fell, the other civil officials also stood up and shouted,

"I implore Your Majesty to conduct a thorough investigation into this case and severely punish Su Bai to set the record straight!"

Listening to the impeachment of the crowd and looking at the civil officials standing up from the ground, Emperor Wu's expression did not change at all.

"This matter is still just a rumor, and there are many doubts. The facts have not been thoroughly investigated. It is premature to talk about severe punishment."

"We'll discuss this later."

With a wave of his hand, Emperor Wu forcibly suppressed the matter.

Can be followed closely.

It was the huge public opinion storm that was stirred up in the capital.

Discussions about this matter could be heard everywhere in the streets, alleys, restaurants and teahouses, and they were all full of condemnations of Su Bai.

"Su Bai relies on his status to insult others' innocence. It's really despicable. In my opinion, such a person should be thrown into the sky prison."

"This time he's insulting someone's innocence. Who knows what heinous things he's done before!"

"I heard that there was an evil spirit appearing before, and the incident of Su Bai being attacked was actually caused by him. He is crying thief and framing the Ye family!"

Not only among the people, but even in the homes of many powerful people, there were such condemnations. Even in front of the ruins of the Su family, many people gathered to protest and denounce.

It would have been fine if it was just the insult to his innocence, but they even blamed Su Bai for all the evil deeds he had done before, as if Su Bai was guilty of a heinous crime and deserved to be put to death.

For a time, Su Bai's reputation was in jeopardy, and he was showing signs of becoming a rat crossing the street.

Among them, quite a few ordinary people voiced their support for Su Bai. They did not believe that Lord Su, who had done so many good things for them, would be such a bad person.

But they are powerless and have little influence.

With the whole court scheming like this, what can ordinary people do?
then.

In just half a day, Su Bai became the target of public criticism.

There seemed to be only two choices before Su Bai.

Should he come out and testify, or should he bear the blame and hide it forever? Judging from the current situation, no matter which choice he makes, it seems very bad for Su Bai.

But no matter what, such a huge public opinion storm has been formed in such a short period of time, and there must be someone behind the scenes fanning the flames.

It is impossible for some small people to push public opinion to such an exaggerated level. The other party must be a wealthy family in Beijing.

and.

After doing such a big thing, it is impossible to clean up your hands and feet.

then.

The person who fanned the flames behind the scenes soon came to light...

The wealthy Chen family!

Emperor Wu easily found out this information.

Looking at the newspaper in front of him, which recorded the things done by the Chen family, Emperor Wu's expression gradually turned cold.

How could Emperor Wu not see the conspiracy behind the other party's grand display?

This is to use public opinion to push public opinion, so as to force Emperor Wu to convict Su Bai!
When public outrage really boils over, no matter whether Su Bai did it or not, those things have already been done by Su Bai.

same.

If Emperor Wu did not deal with Su Bai, public opinion in the capital would not be calmed, and the civil and military officials in the court would not be appeased, and his position would naturally be unstable.

How dare you force me like this? You are so brave!
boom!
Emperor Wu slammed the table so hard that it broke into pieces.

At this moment, Emperor Wu was already furious about this matter.

Although Emperor Wu had long known that there would be considerable resistance, he had not expected that they would show up so impatiently as soon as there were signs of trouble on his side.

Such a huge storm... I wonder what's going on with Su Bai?

Emperor Wu frowned slightly, and felt more worried about Su Bai.

Having pushed himself into the center of the storm with such fanfare, how will he end up?
Or maybe he didn't expect such an outcome?

With a light sigh, Emperor Wu pinched his eyebrows and felt a headache.

Under the current circumstances, Emperor Wu could not even imagine the possibility of breaking the deadlock.

Does Su Bai really have a solution?
At this moment, Emperor Wu couldn't help but think of Su Bai's previous instructions.

He made me trust him unconditionally.

Should I continue to trust this silly brother?
at the same time.

"I think Your Majesty must be very anxious now, right?"

The mysterious lady was waiting at ease, holding her chin and looking at the chessboard in front of her.

At this moment, the black and white pieces are intertwined on the chessboard, but the white piece is cut off by the black piece at the vital point. Although it can still survive, it has to sacrifice a piece.

The direction of this chess game is now clear.

Next, what she had to do was to gradually erode and eliminate all the white pieces bit by bit.

Thinking about the next plan, a smile appeared on the mysterious lady's lips.

As a chess player who plans everything carefully, she has never focused on Su Bai.

It can even be said that she doesn't think much of Su Bai.

That young man was just a small part of the plan.

The reason for attacking him was, firstly, to divert attention, and secondly, to force Emperor Wu.

In this way, she can use this to launch a deadly method and steal the country's flourishing fortune!
By this point, her goal was clear.

She wants to steal the country!

but.

Will things really go so smoothly?
