Chapter 297 It doesn’t matter
Chu Yuntian immediately looked happy and proud.
Chen Changan, don't blame me. Who told you to be so self-disciplined that you made so many mistakes?
Even if you are eloquent and have five serious crimes, you can't turn things around!
This is sure!
Eunuch Jing's imperial edict was conveyed to Chen Changan.
All the sisters in Xiaoxiang Tower looked terrified, but Chen Changan was not very afraid.
"Here it comes, finally."
Chen Changan smiled softly: "Miss Liu, Mama Hong, Hu Huishou, you come with me to the palace, I will take care of everything."
"Old Ma, go pick up Yan Qing and ask her to come and help me."
Several people acted separately, and Chen Changan came to the palace.
Liu Ruge also thought about it.
If the emperor really dares to punish Chen Changan, she will protect Chen Changan and escape from the cage even if she dies!
The group met at the entrance of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and Chen Changan casually said a few words to comfort them.
He changed into his official uniform and lowered his head as he walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony.
But he saw civil and military officials on both sides, and swordsmen in the hall, looking at him murderously.
Chen Changan knelt down in front of the emperor: "Chen Changan pays respect to the emperor, my emperor..."
"Don't tell me these useless things!"
Before Chen Changan could finish, the emperor threw the memorial to the ground and said, "Chen Changan, take a look at it yourself. Do you have anything to say about the serious crimes that Minister Lin and Minister Chu have accused you of?"
Chen Changan knelt down and took two steps, then saw the memorial.
I thought he would forcefully argue, but I didn't expect Chen Changan to sigh: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say."
After he said this, it was impossible to trouble the emperor.
If you can't give a reason that convinces the ministers, even I can't protect you!
Chu Yuntian was very proud and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the evidence of Chen Changan's crime is irrefutable. It is normal that he has nothing to say!"
"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Chen Changan!"
"Your Majesty, please give your order!"
Almost all the civil officials knelt down, and there was a vague suspicion of forcing the emperor to abdicate.
Chen Changan remembered everyone in his heart and said calmly: "Your Majesty, I have been working for the royal family from the beginning to the end. If you kill me for this, the news will spread and the people will think you are..."
Chen Changan paused, then said two words in a shocking manner: "Stupid ruler!"
Everyone was shocked!
Li Wuling was terrified. He seemed to be scolding, but in fact he was protecting him: "How dare you! The emperor is a wise ruler throughout history. How can you say that?"
"Golden Armor Guards, drive this nonsense-talking champion out of the court!"
Although Li Wuling had good intentions, it was a pity that he ordered the Golden Armor Guards not to move.
The emperor also laughed angrily: "Old General, please be patient."
"You are the first person who dares to say to my face that I am a tyrant. Come, tell me where I am tyrant."
"You are wrong. You will be punished for multiple crimes!"
The emperor gave Chen Changan a way out, but the other generals were still very nervous.
If he says one wrong word, Chen Changan will be doomed!
"First, let's talk about the first one. Why did I flirt with Lin Yayun in Zui Xiang Lou?"
Chen Changan's expression remained unchanged: "Your Majesty, to prove that what I said is not false, I ask the witness Yan Qing to come to the palace."
This request was not excessive, so the emperor nodded in approval.
Chen Changan then said, "That day, Yan Qing and I were visiting the Chongyang Festival and accidentally entered Zuixiang Tower. I learned that Chen Fusheng and Lin Yayun would be there, and I also knew that their two families had a good impression of each other and wanted to marry their children off."
"I was thinking, one is a civil official who is the prime minister of the dynasty, and the other is a military commander in the southern part of the dynasty. If the two of them marry, will it be a threat to the imperial power?"
"What if they want to join forces to rebel in the future?"
The word "rebellion" is also a taboo in the court!
Lin Chaoyang panicked: "What nonsense! What nonsense! Your Majesty, I sincerely believe this, and the heavens can bear witness to it!"
"My daughter has reached the age of marriage and she gets along very well with Chen Fusheng. That's why I want to marry our two families forever. I have no other intentions!"
The emperor just didn't say anything, so Chen Changan said again: "Lord Lin, I only said it's possible, why are you in such a hurry?"
"If you don't believe me, ask the adults present here, is this true?"
"you……"
Lin Chaoyang could never have imagined that Chen Changan would actually outwit him!
Li Wuling interrupted: "Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, what Chen Changan said is possible."
"If the country is peaceful and the people are safe, perhaps the powerful will not dare to act rashly, but what about ten or twenty years later?"
"If the Great Chu is exhausted and no one is governing, it is possible that anyone could rebel. Even if I am a minister, I should be supervised."
The generals all nodded, and that was the problem.
These ministers knew very well what kind of person the crown prince was. If the emperor passed away and the crown prince was unjust, the possibility of chaos in the State of Chu could not be ruled out.
The emperor's face showed no signs of fluctuation: "Continue!"
"Based on this, I naturally want to destroy the marriage between the two."
Chen Changan shook his head and sighed: "Afterwards, Miss Yan gave her opinion that I was too hasty in my performance that night, and I am afraid it might be counterproductive."
"I have no choice. It was too late. I can only resort to this last resort."
The emperor nodded slightly, and Yan Qing almost gave Chen Changan a thumbs up.
It is obviously you who have a grudge against Lin Yayun, but you can involve the royal family into this. You are so good at pretending.
But "acting too hastily" was indeed what she said. Yan Qing bowed her head and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I can testify that I did say such words."
When Yan Qing said this, the emperor naturally believed it.
"The first thing that Minister Lin reported was that Chen Changan was concerned about the imperial power."
The emperor finally spoke: "Although it has humiliated Lin Yayun, it was also for the sake of imperial power. I will not pursue it."
"Chen Changan, please don't meddle in other people's business and stop others from getting married!"
The emperor is blaming both sides impartially.
Chen Changan bowed his head: "I will follow the emperor's instructions and not cause any more trouble!"
Lin Chaoyang was defeated immediately.
Chu Yuntian gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, even if Chen Changan is considering the imperial power, he is still having an affair with the Red Flower Demon Girl. How should we deal with him?"
"You know, the Red Flower Society is causing chaos throughout the country, they should be killed!"
Chen Changan is no longer afraid of this problem.
"Your Majesty, before I explain, I have two questions for Lord Xiao."
Xiao Zhennan was stunned. How could this have anything to do with me?
"Master Xiao, have you ever destroyed the Red Flower Society?"
"of course."
"Then let me ask, what do you do with the prisoners of the Red Flower Society?"
"The main culprit must be punished, and the followers are innocent."
"The servants are innocent, so I would like to ask, how should they live after leaving Lord Xiao's prison?"
Chen Changan asked back: "As for land, they have none; as for business, they have no capital and are exploited everywhere. When they can't fill their stomachs, will they unite to cause chaos again?"
Xiao Zhennan had nothing to say.
Throughout the dynasties, most peasant uprisings were caused by stomach problems.
As long as you can fill your stomach, who would want to rebel?
"Chen Changan, are you looking for an excuse to stay overnight at the brothel?"
"Humph, if they rebel against the imperial court, we will suppress them again. This has nothing to do with you and your collusion with the Red Flower Demon Girl!"
