After traveling through time, I thrived in ancient times

Shen Chenli, who did not go to Jiang Mansion today due to busy government affairs, welcomed another person, Song Shixu.

"Your Majesty, the Left Prime Minister is ready to take action!"

Shen Chenli paused with the pen in his hand, raised his head and looked at the people below, with a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Let your men take action when they are trading and catch them in the act. You go and watch them in person."

"Yes!"

"besides!"

Song Shixu looked up at Shen Chenli, waiting for his next words.

"After we take control of that place, keep an eye on Zuo Xiang and wait for him to recruit soldiers before taking action!"

These words made Song Shixu's eyes narrow suddenly. This meant that there was absolutely no chance for Zuo Xiang to turn things around!

"I see!"

Beneath the apparent calm in the capital, there were undercurrents. Many ministers quickly protected themselves relying on their intuition gained from years in the court.

Not to mention the banquet, apart from going to court and work on time, he would rush home after court and didn’t even go to the teahouse!

Sure enough, a month later, when all the officials were calmly attending court, thinking that today would be the same as the previous morning court, waiting for the emperor to announce the adjournment of the court, they found that the emperor was sitting on the high throne motionless, with no intention of adjourning the court at all.

It's like... like waiting for something!

All the ministers were startled and quickly composed themselves, looking intently at the seat at the top.

Today's morning court session may take too long!

Sure enough, when some young officials didn't know what was going on, the Minister of Justice walked out from the front of the crowd and knelt down.

"I have this note!"

Shen Chenli lowered his eyes and looked at him calmly.

Because Xu Fulai was once a member of the Dali Temple, Shen Chenli specifically handed the case over to the Minister of Justice for handling.

"What do you have to say?"

"A few months ago, the emperor asked me to investigate the Xu family's murder case, and the result has come out. Here is the testimony, please take a look!"

As he spoke, the Minister of Justice reached out from his sleeve and took out a booklet and handed it over respectfully. After the young eunuch took it away, he continued to stand there respectfully and continued to speak:

"I have found out that someone witnessed the entire process of the Xu family's extermination. The witness' testimony and description of the portrait have been transcribed into the book. It is confirmed that this case is related to the late emperor when he was still a prince, and the left prime minister played a key role in it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, people in the hall began to whisper to each other.

The Left Prime Minister has been ignored for such a long time, is the Emperor finally going to take action?

That’s right, these ministers are not stupid. Besides the fact that the Left Prime Minister has indeed committed many evil things, they have also realized that the Emperor has no intention of letting the Left Prime Minister go and does not intend to give him a way out. That’s why they have waited for so long just to kill him completely!

What was unexpected was that a month later, the emperor actually found more conclusive evidence.

But now so much time has passed. Even if it is true, with the power of the Left Prime Minister in the court, would the Emperor severely punish him for the sake of a minor official with insufficient foundation?

Just as the ministers were discussing and speculating, the loyal and brave Marquis Song Shixu also stood up and looked at the emperor respectfully and said:

"Your Majesty, I also have a memorial to make!"

"Say!"

Song Shixu also pulled out a booklet from his sleeve and handed it over, speaking seriously and respectfully:

"I want to impeach the left prime minister for corruption, bribery, disregard for human life, secretly recruiting soldiers and horses, forging a large number of weapons, and treason!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was silence in the hall for a moment. All the ministers were shocked and looked at Song Shixu in disbelief, unable to believe that what he said was true!

Then Song Shixu continued:

“When I was leading my men on patrol earlier, I saw a man sneaking out of the Left Prime Minister’s Residence. I was suspicious so I asked someone to follow him. It turned out that this man actually had contacts with people from other countries. Not only that, this man is from the same clan as the County Magistrate Liu Mian!

This discovery immediately alerted me, and after more than a month of follow-up investigation, I finally discovered the truth of the matter! "

After he finished speaking, he looked around, and when he saw that everyone was listening to him attentively, he slowly continued.

"I discovered that the left prime minister had close contact with this man named Liu Minzhi. He still had contact with him during the period of house arrest. Later, I discovered that he had sent letters many times, and people from other countries sent him letters. After intercepting them, I found that the contents were all about buying and selling weapons, giving away jewelry, etc. The number of weapons was shocking."

“I know this matter is of great importance, so I did not make it public. Instead, I asked the emperor to lead a group of people to check the place where the weapons were made and the conditions of the iron mines.

Unexpectedly, this left prime minister is so bold that he actually controls dozens of mines, most of which are iron mines, as well as a few silver mines, gold mines and other minerals, and countless people are working silently in the mines. "

"I sent someone to secretly bring back a person. That person said they were all poor people from the area, and some were criminals sentenced to death. They were all brought there by the Left Prime Minister to work in the mines. They were not allowed to go home, contact the outside world, or even talk!"

"Later, my people followed Liu Minzhi and saw him trading weapons with other people. Following the emperor's order, we arrested them all and await their punishment!"

After Song Shixu finished speaking, no one in the hall said a word. This matter was too big!

Recruiting soldiers, embezzling minerals, manufacturing weapons, colluding with other countries, and engaging in secret trade!

Each of these acts was a crime punishable by the execution of nine generations of the entire clan, yet they were all done by the Left Prime Minister alone!

Even they have to say at this moment that Zuo Xiang is invincible!

At this time, Shen Chenli, who was in a high position, had also finished reading all the contents in the booklet. Everyone saw that there was no emotion on his face, as if he had not read anything.

Then, he simply threw the booklet to the young eunuch beside him and asked him to read out the contents.

The ministers stood below and listened quietly. Some of them were sweating profusely, some were filled with indignation, and some had already collapsed on the ground with dull eyes!

That’s right, this booklet contains not only the affairs of Zuo Xiang, but also all the people involved in this matter, and even what they did is clearly written in it.

This was not over yet. Shen Chenli waved his hand again, and a man came into the hall carrying a tray. Shen Chenli threw the photos on the tray to them, then reached out and fiddled with the camera.

Just as everyone was surprised, confused and frightened, a person's voice echoed in the hall.

"Student Liu Minzhi pays homage to the Left Prime Minister."

"What are you doing here?" This was the voice of Zuo Xiang.

The ministers looked at the place where the sound came from with horror. How could it be? The Left Prime Minister was not there at all, so how could his voice be heard?

When they heard about the conspiracy between Zuo Xiang and Liu Minzhi, they were even more terrified, but it was not this content that made them even more terrified.

The following paragraphs of conversations from other ministers who were involved in the conspiracy in the palace also echoed in the hall.

At this moment, even they themselves did not dare to say that this was fake. They knelt on the ground and could not even utter the words to beg for mercy!
