"Chief Censor! The Censorate cannot simply stand by and watch this matter!"

"Yes, Chief Censor, such a major incident occurred at the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs, all because of Liu Chen's dereliction of duty. If this person is not impeached, where are the laws, rites, and clan rules of our Great Yu?"

"Chief of the Constitutional Court, don't you have any ideas?"

"Chief Censor, there are too many suspicious things about this matter, but the more suspicious things are, the less the Censorate can pretend not to know."

"General Secretary..."

The Censorate is not far from the Ministry of Personnel.

Many people gathered in Bao Yuan's office.

They were very emotional, and many of them looked extremely pale.

Yesterday's grand court session decided to try the case of the rebellious prince. All relevant officials were made aware that this matter must be handled well in order to have a deterrent effect.

Otherwise, it will inevitably pose a hidden danger to the Great Yu in the future.

Although some people working in the Censorate couldn't understand why the Censorate wasn't involved in the trial of this case.

But that's how it ended.

Unfortunately, before such a major case could be formally tried, trouble broke out at the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs. Not only did the rebellious vassal Xiong and vassal Feng commit suicide, but the prison at the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs also caught fire, and all those imprisoned inside were burned to death. All of this was due to Liu Chen's dereliction of duty.

How could the people in the Censorate accept this?

If there is no response to this matter, what is the use of the Censorate?

This is about to cause trouble.

Sitting there, Bao Yuan looked at his agitated subordinates. His face seemed unchanged, but he was secretly thinking to himself.

Having stayed in the central government for so long, is there something fishy about this? Wouldn't he be able to see it?

But the problem is, isn't all of this just too much of a coincidence?

The key question is how Liu Chen dared to do this in the Court of Imperial Clan Affairs.

Who exactly is behind all of this?

Who went to the Imperial Clan Court last night?

As Bao Yuan pondered these things, his brows gradually furrowed. Upon seeing this scene, the crowd, who had been filled with indignation, all fell silent.

Having served in the Censorate for so long, how could they not know the temperament of their Chief Censor?

In particular, he memorized every single gesture.

When a kite behaves like this, it means it is thinking about a problem.

The office fell silent.

The gathered crowd stared intently at Bao Yuan, waiting for their leader's words.

"We'll leave this matter aside for now."

Under these circumstances, after an unknown amount of time, Bao Yuan's deep voice rang out.

"Shogun, how could you do this?"

Upon hearing this, a middle-aged man immediately stepped forward and said, "With such a big incident, if the Censorate does not impeach Liu Chen according to regulations, who will care about the law, etiquette, and clan rules in the future?"

"Yes, General."

Another person followed up, saying, "The Censorate shouldn't interfere in the trial of the rebellious prince, but now it's Liu Chen's turn..."

"enough."

The sound of the raging kite stopped the man abruptly.

A person's name, the shadow of a tree.

Bao Yuan had served as the Imperial Censor for many years and still held considerable prestige. No one in the Censorate dared to contradict him. This was because Bao Yuan was the most unyielding person in the entire Censorate.

The nickname "Iron Head" wasn't given lightly.

"Are they all thinking that the current political situation isn't chaotic enough?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Bao Yuan said coldly, "The Court of Imperial Clan Affairs has encountered a major incident, but there is still no progress. Under such circumstances, do you think it's a good thing for the Censorate to act rashly?"

Bao Yuan's question calmed down the group of people in front of him.

"Just do what you're supposed to do."

Bao Yuan lifted his robe and waved his hand, saying, "I still have matters to attend to."

After saying that, Bao Yuan leaned forward, picked up an official document from the table, and then ignored the group of people in front of him, reading it by himself.

This……

Seeing this, the group of people looked at each other, their faces showing various expressions. During this time, some of them wanted to say something, but no matter how hard they tried, they couldn't say it.

Before long, my overcrowded office was left with only Bao Yuan.

Who could it be?

At this moment, Bao Yuan's mind was not on the official documents at all. He was thinking about who would dare to do this, and he went through the suspects one by one in his mind.

The more Bao Yuan thought about it, the more her brows furrowed.

Because the people he most suspected all had this motive.

But if that were to happen, the court would never be at peace.

The situation in the Great Yu Dynasty is far from calm, and many issues remain unresolved. Yet, another upheaval is brewing in the central government. This is not a good thing for the Great Yu Dynasty or for the nation as a whole.

……

"It seems we really are getting old."

An Guo Gongfu.

Zongchuan's voice rang out with emotion.

At this moment, Changli, lying on his sickbed, was still relatively conscious.

"Seventh Brother, you mean the matter of the Imperial Clan Court, is it..."

Changli reached out his hand, as if to say something, but Zongchuan waved his hand to interrupt him.

It doesn't matter who it is.

Zong Chuan looked at Chang Li and said, "Right now, you need to rest and recuperate. The affairs of the court are no longer our concern. This way, you can live a few more days."

Changli frowned.

Only Zongchuan said this.

If it were anyone else, given Changli's temperament, he would have turned against them long ago.

His illness was partly due to exhaustion and partly due to anger.

"I really want to see what state Xu Chu is in right now, what his expression is like." But Changli, who was frowning, suddenly remembered Xu Chu and grinned.

"This fellow is scheming to maintain his power. He even dared to say such things to the emperor in front of so many ministers at yesterday's grand court session. He's really something else."

"It's only because I'm old now. If it were before, hmph, I could have killed this son of a bitch with one punch!"

"Okay, stop thinking about it."

Zongchuan smiled helplessly, "You, you'll never change this temper until you die. Let's talk about something else."

Zong Chuan couldn't understand Xu Chu's change in the past. How could someone like that change so suddenly? But in the past few years, Zong Chuan has figured out what's going on.

Xu Chu's desire for more power is likely not simply for personal gain.

He wanted to win at least once!

Thinking of this, Zongchuan immediately understood many things he hadn't been able to figure out in the past. The nightmare that Emperor Taizu had about Xu Chu had caused him too deep a wound.

But can you really win?

Zong Chuan narrowed his eyes, recalling the Emperor's various actions in the Taiji Hall yesterday, especially those eyes, which made Zong Chuan think afterwards that the Emperor was planning to make a move.

Although the current situation is not particularly suitable, Zong Chuan knew that the emperor was waiting, considering that he had not made any statement in the past three years, and that his grandson would talk about some of the emperor's behavior in Shanglin Garden when he asked. But this was still what could be seen. What about what could not be seen?

"Get out of my way!!"

Changli's roar brought Zongchuan back to his senses. Looking at Changli, whose consciousness was beginning to fade on the sickbed, Zongchuan sighed softly. His youngest son's condition had worsened again...
