Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Han Yushi answered without hesitation: "He was born to a woman from the Li Kingdom, and he holds a high position, holding military power. If we use him, it will inevitably affect the people's hearts and endanger the country's destiny!"

Emperor Sheng An slapped the desk hard, scaring the other censors so much that their faces turned pale.

They knew that Emperor Sheng An would be like this whenever Zhan Yan was involved.

But what can they do? If they don't go to hell, who will?

As censors, they have the power to impeach all officials.

If they let any of them go, if something bad happens in the future, they will be the first to bear the brunt of the blame.

Several people immediately said in unison: "Your Majesty, this is a serious matter, please think twice!"

Emperor Sheng An's sharp eyes swept over their heads one by one. He said calmly, "When have I never thought twice? You haven't told me yet, which important official in the court was born to a woman from the Li Kingdom?"

Han Yushi could hear the suppressed anger in the emperor's tone, and he was also clear that the emperor was asking questions even though he knew the answer.

He wanted to force them to back down, to change their tune.

However, how is this possible?

As the Censor-in-Chief, he would never tolerate people with questionable backgrounds occupying important positions and posing hidden dangers to the prosperous dynasty.

He spoke quickly, "Your Majesty, it's Zhan Yihou, Zhan Yan. There are various signs that his biological mother is a woman from the Li Kingdom!"

After saying this, he subconsciously closed his eyes.

He was waiting for Emperor Sheng An to lose his mind and scold him. After all, that was someone he cared about and valued very much.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement.

He subconsciously raised his eyes and saw Emperor Sheng An drinking tea slowly.

He looked so calm and composed, as if the person they were impeaching was not Zhan Yan, but an insignificant person.

Han Yushi looked around and saw that they also had a confused expression.

He clenched his fist, coughed, and said, "Your Majesty, I know that Marquis Zhan Yi once made great military achievements and is a rare and powerful general in our dynasty. Moreover, he saved your life and injured himself for you. However, his background is questionable. He holds great power. If he becomes a spy for the Li Kingdom, our Sheng Dynasty will be in danger!"

Emperor Sheng An suddenly raised his hand and smashed the golden dragon tea bowl to the ground.

He shouted sternly, "Can't you just let me finish this cup of tea?"

Tea soup and porcelain fragments were scattered everywhere, some even flowed down to their knees, but they didn't dare to move at all.

Han Yushi endured the pain and said, "Your Majesty, we are all doing this for the safety of the Sheng Dynasty. Please make your decision carefully!"

Emperor Sheng An nodded. "Alright, you said Zhan Yan was born to a woman from the Li Kingdom, right? Where's the evidence? You can't just slander him with your eloquent words. He was a brave general who fought bravely on the battlefield and captured Wuri City for me!"

Wu Ri City was originally a fiefdom of the Li Kingdom. Because of Zhan Yan's brave pursuit, the soldiers of the Li Kingdom were defeated and forced to flee the city.

From then on, the fertile and resource-rich city of Wuri was incorporated into the territory of the Sheng Dynasty.

Emperor Sheng'an was very surprised and immediately announced a general amnesty and rewarded the three armies.

Han Yushi was trembling all over. He said with a complicated expression, "Although we, the old ministers, have no evidence, but the emperor's concubine Zhan is Zhan Yan's biological sister. Why don't you invite her out? She must know the inside story!"

Emperor Sheng An snorted coldly, "She entered the harem a long time ago, how could she know the inside story? She doesn't even know that Zhan Yan is not Madam Zhan's biological son!"

He paused and then scolded, "As the current imperial censors, how can you believe these nonsense? Get out of here immediately and stop wasting time!"

Han Yushi quickly spoke up, "Your Majesty, we will not retreat. If you do not punish Marquis Zhan Yi, we will remain kneeling in your imperial study and will never leave!"

The others subconsciously echoed: "I will never leave either!"

Emperor Sheng An said with a mocking look on his face, "How dare you force me? If Zhan Yan is not the son of a woman from Li Country, you will be punished with a caning for slandering him like this!"

Han Yushi said stubbornly: "Don't even mention the caning. Even if you want to kill me, I won't say anything. I am willing to sacrifice my life for the stability of the Sheng Dynasty!"

Emperor Sheng An looked at the others and asked, "What about you? Are you also willing to die?"

There was a flash of intense struggle in the eyes of several people. They really didn't want to die!

It doesn't have to cost your life, right?

They are just worried about the safety of Sheng State and are thinking about the country and the people. What could be wrong with that?

If Zhan Yan is finally proven innocent, the most they can do is apologize.

Censor Feng quickly said, "Your Majesty, you won't kill us, will you? We are also concerned about the country!"

Emperor Sheng An sneered, "You all want to kill Zhan Yan. Do you know that if you slander him like this, not only will his reputation be ruined, but it will also arouse the hatred of those soldiers towards him. What will be his end?"

Censor Feng blurted out, "What does his death have to do with us? It wasn't us who killed him. Who made his background suspicious? He's not one of us. Even if he's far away, he must be killed!"

Emperor Sheng An stroked the jade ring on his finger with a complicated expression. He said calmly, "Well said. Anyone who is not of my race must be killed, even if they are far away. I will invite Concubine Zhan here and let her tell you in person whether Zhan Yan was born to a woman from Li Country!"

Soon, the sick Concubine Zhan was carried up.

She trembled and fell to the ground and replied, "Your Majesty, although I don't know if Zhan Yan was born to a woman from Li Country, his mother has a golden hairpin in her hand, which is the only token that can prove his identity!"

Emperor Sheng An asked indifferently, "Where is the golden hairpin? Who got it?"

Concubine Zhan whispered back, "He was snatched away by King Zhongyong!"

Emperor Sheng An suddenly clenched his fists. What a loyal and brave king he was. He could actually come and go freely in the cold palace. He was really capable.

Without further hesitation, he turned to look at the several old imperial censors standing nearby and asked, "Does anyone know the whereabouts of the King of Loyalty and Bravery?"

Several people shook their heads: "This old minister has no idea!"

At this time, Li Delu's voice came from outside: "Your Majesty, Earl Cheng En requests an audience!"

Emperor Sheng An curled his lips: "Bring him in!"

Cheng Enbo quickly stepped into the hall and presented a brocade box with both hands, saying, "Your Majesty, this is what I found in the courtyard this morning. There is a message on it, asking me to present this item to Your Majesty, saying that it is an important token proving the identity of Marquis Zhan Yi!"

When Concubine Zhan saw the brocade box, a stream of blood gushed out of her throat.

What happened to Lin Yiwan? Now that the tokens have been taken out, Zhan Yan will probably be sure that the child is born by a woman from Li Country.

The Zhan Yihou Mansion will be overthrown from now on, and it will be the end of them as a couple!

How come she didn't respond at all?

How stupid!
