Chapter 316 Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!
After entering the Prince's Mansion, Lingtian also investigated Wu Qu's affairs.
With Qian Renxue's help, she also successfully obtained all the news about Wu Qu.
Lingtian discovered that the old man had not lied to him at first, and his family background was indeed prominent. It was just because when Emperor Xue Ye and a group of princes were competing for the middle throne, the Wu family was on the wrong team. When Xue Ye came to the throne, the entire Wu family
Once he lost power, his family was eventually destroyed and only Wu Qu was lucky enough to survive.
But although people survived, all their fame and achievements were stripped away.
Even the position of No. 1 Scholar that originally belonged to him was eventually revoked in the name of fraud due to "reports" by some ministers.
Wu Qu also thought about making a comeback by relying on his talent.
But how could the former enemy of the Wu family let him go so easily?
In the end, Wu Qu, who was depressed and frustrated, was reduced from a high-spirited young hero to a slovenly old beggar under the pressure of reality, living in confusion all day long.
So after learning all this, Lingtian wanted to help Wu Qu restore his reputation.
Of course, this matter has been discussed before, and Xue Ye also agreed to restore Wu Qu's reputation, so raising it now in court is just a formality.
Wu Qu's matter was just a trivial matter in his eyes, and naturally he would not make Lingtian unhappy because of it.
"Well...what do you guys think, dear friends?"
"I believe that His Highness Tianbing King's words are reasonable."
"I also reconsider and support His Highness King Tianbing."
"minister……"
The ministers in the court spoke one after another, all expressing their support for Lingtian.
None of these ministers are fools who have reached their current status. Since Emperor Xueye did not refute him immediately, they would not take the initiative to offend King Tianbing.
Seeing this scene, Xue Ye's eyes flashed with satisfaction.
"In that case..."
Just when he was about to agree, an inappropriate voice suddenly came from the court.
"Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"
"Um?"
Lingtian frowned and turned back to look at the speaker.
He didn't know the person's last name, but he saw that he was wearing a purple official uniform with a jade belt around his waist. He was probably in his sixties. Looking at the style of the official uniform carefully, this person's title should be
Around the Marquis.
Xue Ye's next words also confirmed Lingtian's suspicion.
A trace of displeasure flashed in Emperor Xueye's eyes, and he asked in a deep voice: "Hengquan Hou, what do you think?"
"Your Majesty, Wu Qu's position as the top scholar was undeserved, and it is a fact that Wu Qu cheated in the exam. Although he saved the Ice King, it was a great achievement, but the merits are the merits and demerits, and how can the merits and demerits be offset by each other?
?If Your Majesty really pardons this person, then let
What do the students of our Tiandou Empire think? This move is really unfair, so I would like to ask Your Majesty to think about it." Marquis Hiraizumi's voice was sonorous and powerful, and it sounded as if no one had any selfish motives, and he was completely serving the country and the people.
The image of a good prince.
"Who are you?" Lingtian's cold eyes swept over Hiraizumi Hou.
"I am the Marquis of Pingquan, Li Yu, and I have met His Royal Highness, King Tianbing."
Marquis Hiraizumi slightly cupped his hands, neither humble nor arrogant, and said righteously, "It is understandable that Your Highness wants to repay the kindness of raising you, but you cannot ignore the national law because of this."
"Marquis Pingquan..." Lingtian looked at Qian Renxue.
"He is Li Yu, the Marquis of Pingquan."
Qian Renxue thought for a moment and explained softly, "The leader of the Li family. The reason why the Wu family was reduced to confiscation and extermination was mainly because the Li family was behind it. And he was the same year as Wu Qu.
After Wu Qu's results were canceled when he took part in the scientific examination, he directly became a substitute and became the number one scholar that year."
"No wonder……"
After listening to Li Yu's introduction, a flash of understanding flashed in Lingtian's eyes.
No wonder just when I wanted to vindicate the old man, this guy jumped out impatiently. Just now I thought he was a good official who served the country and the people, but in fact it was because his vital interests were affected!
Thinking of this, a trace of contempt flashed in Lingtian's eyes.
It's obviously for yourself, but you say it in a high-sounding way, and you still stand from the perspective of the empire. It's really a villain's behavior!
Just when he was about to speak, Emperor Xueye on the throne spoke first.
"snort!"
Xue Ye looked at Li Yu with cold eyes and said in a deep voice: "You know very well what happened to Marquis Pingyuan back then, and Wu Qu's position as the number one scholar was also canceled because of the Wu family. What does this have to do with the so-called incomparable?
What happened back then is in the past, and the Wu family has also contributed to the empire, so let this matter end here."
"Your Majesty..." Li Yu said unwillingly.
"Marquis Pingyuan, don't you understand what I mean?" Xue Ye's tone became increasingly cold.
"My lord, I obey the order."
Li Yu saw that Xue Ye had already made up his mind, and the Grandmaster could only retreat if he was unwilling to do so.
Emperor Xueye ignored Li Yu and stood up from the throne, announcing loudly, "Although the Wu family made a big mistake at the beginning, Wu Qu was kind enough to raise King Tian Bing when he was young, and he will fight for me."
The empire has nurtured talents, so I decided to restore Wu Qu’s status as the 67th No. 1 Scholar, at the same time cancel the Wu family’s guilt and restore Wu Qu’s status as Marquis!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Wu Qu's matter was finalized, and Lingtian breathed a sigh of relief.
Although it is a sure thing from the beginning, you can only feel relieved when it is actually done.
"Um."
Xue Ye nodded slightly, then looked at Qian Renxue and continued, "I have become increasingly tired recently, and it is inevitable that I will make mistakes in handling government affairs, so I decided to take a good rest in the palace for a period of time starting from today.
As for everything in the court, the prince is responsible for it."
As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar.
Compared with restoring the Wu family's reputation just now, this is even more shocking.
Although Qian Renxue had also served as a superintendent of the country in the past, that was all due to Xue Ye's training of her. On some big matters, Xue Ye still needed to make the final decision in person.
But now it is different from before.
This time, Xue Ye’s intention seems to be that she wants to play it for real!
All the power in the court must be fully entrusted to the hands of 'Xue Qinghe'. Now she can be called half the emperor of the Tiandou Empire.
As for why half?
Because Qian Renxue now has political power and has not yet obtained the military power of the Tiandou Empire.
Xue Ye's control over the imperial army was not strict, and he would not hand over military power unless absolutely necessary.
Because as long as you have the army in your hands, the empire's situation is under control.
But despite this, it is enough to be amazing.
You must know that since ancient times, no emperor has dispersed the power in his hands during his reign.
