The strongest nine thousand years old

The atmosphere in the meeting hall was depressing.

Yan Yunzheng ordered the closure of Sifang Academy and pointed the finger at the Fang family.

In the court, the Fang family has always followed the lead of the Yuwen family.

Yuwen Qing supports the imperial examination system, but secretly tells the Fang family to hoard goods. Now that the Fang family is being targeted, Yuwen Qing must protect them, otherwise, how can he lead the team?

And the way he stood up for the Fang family was to resist in silence.

The entire court was silent. No one spoke. The only sound was breathing.

Everyone looked at their noses and their noses at their mouths, adopting a negative attitude to deal with Yan Yunzheng.

Even though Yan Yunzheng asked three times in a row, who had something to report, still no one spoke up.

"Since none of you are speaking, let me speak. In the next month, I will have the Yulin Army raid all bookstores that take the opportunity to raise prices, and all those who do will be punished for disrupting the market." Yan Yunzheng said with a grim face.

"All the money collected will be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue for unified management and distributed to the victims for disaster relief."

Yan Yunzheng stared at the Minister of Revenue, but the other party was as silent as a clay sculpture or a wooden carving.

Yan Yunzheng angrily stepped down from the dragon throne and walked in front of the Minister of Revenue, "Did you hear that?"

"I obey your command." The Minister of Revenue had no choice but to agree to Yan Yunzheng's rebuttal.

Yan Yunzheng snorted and looked around at all the court officials present. "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking! The imperial examination system must be implemented! Whoever dares to stop me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Yan Yunzheng let out a breath of anger. You don't want to say anything, right? I'll take it as your consent. Anyone who dares to stop me will suffer the same fate as Sifang Academy!

Seize and disband!

"Your Majesty, it's bad. Eunuch Chen kicked the great scholar Fang Zhiyan to death!" A guard rushed in, panting, and said, "They are surrounded by angry students. Your Majesty, please ask the Yulin Army to rescue them as soon as possible."

Yan Yunzheng was startled and asked anxiously, "How is Xiaodongzi?"

"Eunuch Chen is safe now, but later..."

Yan Yunzheng shouted: "Yulin Army, go and rescue them!"

Yuwen Qing suddenly said, "Your Majesty, it is not appropriate for Sifang Academy to be convicted for words, and now the great scholar Fang Zhiyan is dead. You must give an explanation to Sifang Academy and the people of the world, right?"

Yuwen Qing was the first to attack. Fang Han, the head of the Fang family and the Minister of Justice, immediately said, "Your Majesty ordered the closure of Sifang Academy for the crime of disrespect. I have already told Your Majesty that this is inappropriate. Now, Fang Zhiyan died because of the confiscation. Your Majesty should apologize to Fang Zhiyan's family and Sifang Academy, right?"

Anyone in the world can be wrong, except the emperor.

Once Yan Yunzheng apologizes, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to her reputation.

"Lord Fang, Lord Yuwen, and all the others, in my opinion, the death of the great scholar Fang Zhiyan has nothing to do with Your Majesty. It was all caused by the eunuch Chen Dong who led the team. He relied on Your Majesty's power and looked down on everyone, which led to the death. Therefore, this matter should be held responsible by the eunuch." Zhang Ge Lao said in a seemingly fair manner. He exonerated Yan Yunzheng, but put Chen Dong to death.

Yang Ge Lao shouted, "What are you doing? What are you all doing? Eunuch Chen is a man of extraordinary talent. Not to mention one Fang Zhiyan, even a hundred Fang Zhiyans combined are not as good as one of Eunuch Chen's fingers!"

"Lord Yang, why are you protecting that little eunuch?" Lord Zhang asked anxiously.

"He is not some little eunuch, he is..." Lord Yang was about to say the "punctuation marks" created by Chen Dong, but was interrupted by Yan Yunzheng.

Yan Yunzheng said solemnly: "Everyone shut up, the Yulin Army quickly go and bring Xiao Dongzi back!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I'm back." Chen Dong said in a clear voice.

He walked into the meeting hall step by step, his body tall and straight, standing out from the crowd, like a sharp sword.

There were spots of blood on his face, and he looked like a general who had just returned from the battlefield.

"Xiao Dongzi, are you injured?" Yan Yunzheng asked anxiously, "Is it someone from the Fang family?"

Chen Dong smiled proudly and said, "Just a few servants of the Fang family, not worth mentioning."

Even so, Chen Dong still had lingering fears. If it weren't for the protection of the Yulin Army, he would have been dead on the spot. This made him more determined to practice martial arts. Even if he couldn't become a peerless master, at least he would have the ability to slip away.

Yan Yunzheng breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me quickly, what's going on?"

Chen Dong looked around and finally his eyes fell on Fang Han.

"Sir Fang, this Fang Zhiyan is from your Fang family, but I don't know what his relationship with you is?" Chen Dong asked knowingly.

When deciding to close down Sifang Academy, Chen Dong had already found out Fang Zhiyan's background and even uncovered his evil deeds towards his daughter-in-law.

Fang Han said coldly, "He is my third uncle."

Chen Dong nodded, "Then did you know that your third uncle raped his daughter-in-law, your brother's wife?"

"This is impossible! You are slandering me!" Fang Han was furious. "Your Majesty, please kill this little eunuch and clear the name of our Fang family!"

"Lord Fang, why do I feel like you are guilty of your crime? So you want to kill people to silence them." Chen Dong raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"What nonsense! I am an honest and upright official and would never do such a thing!" Fang Han said in a serious voice.

"Do you believe it?" Chen Dong looked at the other ministers.

This is an opportunity to test the civil and military officials in the court to see whether they stand on the side of the Yuwen family or the side of Yan Yunzheng.

"Of course we do."

"Minister Fang has been an official for more than 20 years without any mistakes. What qualifications do you, a little eunuch, have to question Minister Fang?"

"This little eunuch is really ignorant of his own life and death. He actually questioned Minister Fang!"

"How dare a eunuch criticize the ministers in the court? Who gave you the guts?"

"Your Majesty, please execute this eunuch to appease Minister Fang."

The crowd was excited, and almost everyone was speaking for Fang Han and belittling Chen Dong.

Chen Dong smiled coldly. These gentlemen were indeed high-ranking officials. They were very eloquent.

"Master Fang, since the masters trust you so much, do you dare to make a bet with me? Bet on the character of your third uncle, and bet on whether what I just said is true or false." Chen Dong said provocatively.

Fang Han's eyes twitched.

Since Chen Dong dared to bet with him, it meant that he was sure of it. He was a little afraid to bet.

"Minister Fang, I made a bet with him."

"We believe in the rules of Shangshu Fang's family management."

"A eunuch dares to bet with the current minister. He really doesn't know how to live or die!"

Yuwen Qing also said: "Minister Fang, make a bet with him."

Fang Han was in a dilemma and could only bite the bullet and ask, "How do you want to bet?"

"I will find witnesses and evidence to prove that your third uncle is a beast. If it is proven, it means that Lord Fang does not manage his family strictly, and you are not worthy of the position of Minister of Justice!" Chen Dong said.

Fang Han said with a straight face: "What if you can't prove it?"

"Once you leave Yanjing City, you will never come back!" Chen Dong said with emotion.
