"Wang Tenghuan, the great scholar of Jianji Palace, disrespects the prince at the top and does not consider the common people at the bottom. He is ashamed of the saints and sages, and has failed to serve the court. Considering his ability, it is difficult for him to be an adult. Considering his character, he should not be in the cabinet. But
Considering that he is old, has done nothing but hard work in the country, and has shown his great grace, in accordance with the emperor's sacred order to supervise the country, I pardon Wang Tenghuan and remove him from the position of cabinet minister and demote him to the position of governor of the capital."
Li Chen's eyes were calm and indifferent, and he said: "Take off Wang Tenghuan's black gauze hat of Jianji Hall Grand Scholar, strip off his cabinet minister's court uniform, and execute."
Seeing that he could not take the opportunity to kill Wang Tenghuan, Su Pingbei was slightly disappointed.
He didn't know what his sister had said to the prince, which actually made His Highness the Crown Prince change his mind. He had clearly seen His Highness the Crown Prince furious before and would not give up until he killed Wang Tenghuan.
However, these are not things he should be concerned with. After hearing this, he immediately said loudly: "The general will obey the order!"
After speaking, Su Pingbei personally called for two Yulin guards to hold Wang Tenghuan down.
There was a commotion among the dead soldiers around Wang Tenghuan.
The murderous intent in Li Chen's eyes skyrocketed.
"Anyone who resists will be killed without mercy!"
Su Pingbei's eyes lit up. At this moment, he seemed to understand what the prince was thinking.
He didn't even look at whether the dead soldiers really dared to resist. He drew his sword and chopped down the two dead soldiers one by one.
When the Yu Linwei next to him saw this, he slashed with his sword without hesitation.
Several dead soldiers were hacked to death on the spot without any warning.
There was a pool of blood, and the bodies of the dead soldiers were still warm.
Wang Tenghuan's eyes widened, and his old face was pale with fear.
He clearly saw a dead soldier looking at him with wide eyes, with a vague sparkle still in his eyes, but he would never move again.
This is the first time Wang Tenghuan has touched death so closely.
He could even feel Li Chen's anger reaching the limit of endurance, just waiting for him to continue to be stubborn.
With just one click, Li Chen will definitely kill him.
Su Zhenting's son Su Pingbei in front of him is definitely a master who is afraid of chaos in the world. He would not mind picking off his own head himself.
Amid the fear, Wang Tenghuan felt like he was a candle in the wind and could die at any time.
It wasn't until two Yulin guards pushed him down on the snow. The cold and biting snow stimulated his spirit to become clearer, and he finally came back to his senses.
"Wang Tenghuan, do you have anything else to say?" Li Chen said coldly.
Wang Tenghuan moved his lips, thinking that he would keep Qingshan alive without fear of running out of firewood, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Old minister, I have nothing to say!"
As soon as he answered, Su Pingbei had forcibly taken off his hat representing power and stripped off his official uniform.
Poor Wang Tenghuan, who is so old, just wearing underwear and shivering in the snow, in a miserable state.
At this moment, Li Chen looked at Jiang Zhou again.
And Jiang Zhou trembled.
Wang Tenghuan was demoted to the position of governor of the capital. What about himself, the governor of the capital?
As if he had seen his own end, Jiang Zhou shouted crazily: "Your Highness! I am willing to tell everything!"
"It's me. I cooperated with the two doctors from the Ministry of Revenue who were responsible for the inspection and review of the goods. Together we took out the good rice for disaster relief from the Ministry of Revenue. Then, together with my colleagues in the Yamen of the Capital Prefecture, I went to the Zhili Prefecture.
The Tian family, a large landowner, exchanged one stone of good rice for six stones of moldy rice mixed with sediment. I received three shares of the benefits, and two doctors from the household department received three shares in total. The remaining four shares were shared by the Tian family and colleagues in the Yamen of the capital.
