"Hua La..." The crown prince Xia Shu next to him crushed the jade scepter in his hand. Seeing Kong Xiang's serious and serious attitude, he pushed Yuan Yong into a corner with two consecutive questions. Xia Shu finally understood that the Kong family had actually crossed the river and destroyed the bridge! And they did it so cleanly and thoroughly!
At this moment, the prince's hatred for the Kong family far exceeded that for Li Xian.
To put it bluntly, the prince and Li Xian had never cooperated, and they were even in opposition to each other; therefore, it was understandable that Li Xian played a trick on the prince - it couldn't be considered a trick, it could only be said that it was a struggle between the two, and Li Xian was more skilled here.
But the Kong family was different. They promised to cooperate with the prince and join forces with Yuan Yong to drive Li Yulong out of the imperial capital. As a result, the first thing the Kong family did after returning to the court was to join forces with Li Yulong to drive Yuan Yong out of the imperial capital!
This matter is so... speechless!
Yuan Yong was already dumbfounded! This shouldn't be the case. You, Kong Xiang, sent a letter earlier saying that you were willing to "renew the old relationship" with the Yuan family. After all this time, it turns out that it's not "renewing the old relationship" but "renewing the old grudge"!
The entire court was in complete silence... for a long time... Suddenly, Wang Chuan from the Wang family stood up, "Your Majesty, I also have something to say. At the beginning, the border general He Yaogong closed the checkpoint and not only did he not support the imperial physician Fu Minghui, he even refused to open the checkpoint for rescue, which led to the defeat of the imperial guards and almost annihilation of the army. Later, Your Majesty ordered Yuan Yong to confiscate the property of He Yaogong and exterminate his family, but He Yaogong managed to escape. However, after further investigation, I found that among those who were executed, only ordinary members of the He family were real. The important personnel were all impersonated by slaves, death row prisoners, or captured innocent people! In this world, it seems that there is a magic called "illusion"."
When Yuan Yong heard what Wang Chuan said, he flew into a rage: "Wang Chuan, I asked you to check it yourself, but you said there was nothing wrong with the person! Also, my people went to the border to capture He Yaogong, but they found a letter from your Wang family in He Yaogong's room. What do you say!"
Yuan Yong was really so angry that he spoke without thinking.
Wang Chuan did not explain, but smiled coldly and returned to his seat. It is true that "silence is better than words at this time".
Wang Chuan withdrew, and Kong Xiang spoke again, "Your Majesty, as for the rumor that Li Yulong and Li Xian joined forces to force Zhongshan County to rebel, it is completely false and fabricated. In fact, Zhongshan County has secretly allied with the State of Cai. Ye Mingquan, the Minister of the Honglu Temple of the State of Cai, is now hiding in the territory of Zhongshan County! The rebellion in Zhongshan County was actually caused by the greed of Shi Chengsong, the governor of Zhongshan County, and the secret instigation of the State of Cai."
What followed was naturally a verbal battle. Yuan Yong was cornered by Li Yulong, Kong Xiang and Wang Chuan. In the end, Yuan Yong had no choice but to resign. The cold arrow shot from behind was so fierce that Yuan Yong had no ability to resist.
Before the morning court session was over, Yuan Yong left the Grand Marshal's seal and left Chengtian Hall in a panic.
In the court, His Majesty the Emperor opened his tired and cloudy eyes and looked around, "Everyone, who do you think can be the Grand Commandant?"
Wang Chuan immediately signaled to Kong Xiang and Li Yulong.
Kong Xiang bowed again, "Your Majesty, the only person in the court who has the ability to lead troops and command is Doctor-in-Chief Fu Minghui."
