No matter how high your position and power are, once you are accused of "collaborating with the enemy and treason", even if you have ten lives, it will not be enough to kill you.

Thinking of this, all the ministers turned their eyes to Chen Xi, the Minister of War.

At this moment, Minister Chen's brain was buzzing, his limbs were cold, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.

He subconsciously turned his gaze to King Ning, wanting to determine whether what Xu Shan said was true.

He did not activate Xiaoxiangzi and Zhan Peng as chess pieces to participate in the siege of Zhuque and Deng Ziyue.

In the capital, the only one who could bypass him, issue orders directly to Zhang Lu, and invite Xiaoxiangzi to his side was Prince Ning!

Zhu Wusi, who was also confused, felt like a tangled ball of thread in his heart!

He couldn't figure out whether Xu Shan had merely discovered the matter or had confirmed the case.

But no matter what, this case cannot be determined!

Therefore, after meeting Chen Xi's pleading gaze, Zhu Wusi shook his head slightly.

"What nonsense!"

"Master Xu, you said that Xiaoxiangzi, one of the three great Tartar heroes, and his chief disciple, Zhan Peng, were using their cover identities in the capital as advisors and attendants to the commander of the Pukou garrison?"

"You have irrefutable evidence. If you don't, I, the Minister, will never allow you to slander the Ming Dynasty..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish, Xu Shan spoke directly: "Your Majesty, after learning the news this morning, I have already started investigating the case."

"After confirming everything was correct, we deployed our troops and, in the name of Prince Ning's Mansion, we falsely opened the Pukou city gate."

"Outside Pukou City, using the Seven Star Formation, they surrounded and killed Xiaoxiangzi, one of the three great Tartar warriors, and Zhan Peng."

"During this period, Zhang Lu, the commander of Pukou, who boasted that his crimes had been exposed, led his troops in mutiny."

"The Liuhe garrison and the Broadsword Battalion fought alongside me in bloody battles. Two hours ago, we quelled the rebellion and executed the rebel leader, Zhang Lu, on the spot."

"Afterwards, a thorough investigation will be conducted. According to Zhang Lu's personal guards, Xiaoxiangzi, one of the three great Tartar heroes, and his disciple Zhan Peng have been in the capital for over half a month."

"It was Chen Xi, the Minister of War, who personally arranged for him to go to Pukou. Zhan Peng even used a pseudonym and was recommended by Minister Chen, in the name of the Ministry of War, to be sent to the 'Shu Shan Wu Hai'."

"The correspondence between the two, physical evidence, and witness testimony have all been collected."

“The chain of evidence is complete and sufficient.”

"Your Majesty, please review this."

After saying that, Xu Shan took out a memorial from his waist and presented it with both hands!

'Pah-ta-ta.'

After hearing this, Chen Xi staggered back several steps, unable to bear the pressure.

However, his colleagues and allies standing behind him all dodged away without being able to avoid the attack.

"This is slander, this is defamation..."

"When you want to accuse someone of something, you can always find a pretext."

Chen Xi shouted at the top of his voice, hysterically making a pale defense for himself.

At this time, Hong Gu, who had taken the memorial from Xu Shan, had already handed it to Zhu Youwei.

The latter opened it and saw...

There are only four words in it: 'I miss you', plus an unheard-of exclamation mark!

Chen Xi was roaring in the audience. Zhu Youwei, who was sitting in the first seat, bit her red lips tightly. Her heart was in turmoil, but she had to show an increasingly angry expression on the surface.

I cursed in my heart: Shameless!

But he growled, "With all the evidence and witnesses, Chen Xi, you still have the nerve to say you're being slandered and defamed?"

Pretty!

This woman is getting better and better.

I'll reward you with a beating later no matter what!

The 'Pia, Pia...' kind.

Mr. Xu, who was also an Oscar-winning actor, shouted at this moment: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"Your Majesty, I am fully aware of the gravity of this matter. Therefore, after confirming that Minister Chen was secretly collaborating with the enemy and committing treason, I quickly contacted powerful agencies such as the Divine Machine Office and the Pacification Office."

"This morning, we quickly took over the Jiazi Camp and the Xuanwu garrison."

"After an in-depth investigation, we discovered that Minister Chen had not only withheld military pay but also sold official positions and military equipment over the years."

"Ironclad evidence!"

"Your Majesty, please decide."

After Xu Shan finished saying this, the huge Golden Palace fell into silence again.

‘Gulu. ’

The ministers present at the scene couldn't help swallowing deeply as they looked at Chen Xi, whose body was stiff.

Anyone could hear the profound meaning behind Xu Shan's words - the Pukou garrison, Xuanwu garrison and Jiazi Camp that you, Chen Xi, could rely on were now all under the control of Xu Shan.

Moreover, the Shenjishu and Zhenfusi personally sent people to intervene.

This means that there is no possibility of reversing the situation!

Going a little deeper...

If Your Majesty wants to completely control the Ministry of War, he will definitely take advantage of the situation to put the hat of "collaborating with the enemy and treason" on your head, Chen Xi.

Not to mention, they also found out that you were withholding military pay, selling official positions and titles, and trafficking in military equipment!

"Your Majesty, this matter needs to be discussed."

"We should take a long-term view."

King Ning stood up at this time and immediately prepared to protect Chen Xi.

But just as he finished speaking, Xu Shan spoke directly: "Your Majesty, all the weapons sold by Minister Chen have been shipped to the vassal state of Prince Ning."

"Of course, Prince Ning may not know about this. But to avoid suspicion, it would be better for Prince Ning not to get involved."

"After all, the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty have instructed that the princes of various regions are not allowed to expand their private armies or resell military equipment..."

"If this were to get out, people who don't know would think Prince Ning was planning a rebellion."

"So, it's better for you to keep to yourself."

After Xu Shan said this with a sneer, Zhu Wusi stood there in a daze with his eyes wide open.

He never imagined that in just one night, Xu Shan had uncovered so many things through Xiaoxiangzi alone.

These are all secrets between him and Minister Chen!

Speaking of this, I have to thank Gu Santong.

After his soul was taken away by Elder Zhenwu, many secrets of Prince Ning's Mansion came to light.

"Somebody come!"

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Zhu Youwei shouted immediately.

'boom.'

The next moment, the commander of the imperial guards, Li Xujiu, led his men directly into the palace.

"His Majesty!"

"Immediately take the Minister of War, Chen Xi, to the Heavenly Prison."

"Yes."

"Also, order his family to be arrested as well."

After Zhu Youwei finished speaking, Xu Shan immediately stated, "Your Majesty, just in case. Before entering the palace, I ordered my subordinates to completely control the Chen Mansion."

"Also, before daybreak, I sent people to Minister Chen's hometown."

"Order the local Jinyiwei to arrest Minister Chen's clansmen immediately."

When he was about to be arrested, Chen Xi accepted his fate and did not say a word.

But when he heard that Xu Shan not only controlled his family but also wanted to attack his own people, he immediately became furious.

"Xu Shan, what are you going to do?"

"doing what?"

"Collaborating with the enemy and treason, according to the law, all three clans will be exterminated!"

"What did I tell you when we entered the temple?"

"I want your whole family to die!"

"I, Xu Shan, am well-known for my loyalty and my loyalty to my friends!"

After Xu Shan uttered these murderous words in the gentlest tone, an uproar broke out in the huge Golden Palace!

When Xu Yanwang raised the butcher knife, he had no intention of leaving any room for anyone!

If I say I will kill your whole family, I will kill your whole clan!
