Chapter 308: Impeachment by Officials
"Your Majesty! In Jiangzuo, the Xiang family has been governing Lujiang County for more than a dozen years, working hard and making great contributions. The local people live and work in peace and contentment, and they are well-known... However, the Xiang family was betrayed by their subordinates a few months ago and was brutally exterminated. All evidence points to Wang Tieyi as the culprit, and many Xiang orphans are running around to appeal for justice! In order to rectify the country's laws and disciplines, this matter must be investigated!"
"Your Majesty! Wang Tieyi is a cruel and brutal man with a bloodthirsty nature. He not only killed Xiang clan members in Lujiang County, He also killed the Grand Master Gao Zhengbang in Wuyang County, Liu Hongzhu and Ding Mingshou in Guangling County, Zhu Guangshen and Sima Ding in Qingde County, Li Cong, Bai Jinyi and Hu Qiyuan in Anshun County... All the people he killed were local celebrities, and the impact was extremely bad! "
"This man has been walking all the way with blood on his hands, and every evil he has done is horrifying! People in the streets even gave him a bandit nickname, called the Hateful Blood Demon, which shows his despicable character! "
"Your Majesty! This man is not only in the Jianghu, but also in the Jianghu. He has a long history of bad deeds. Even though His Majesty intended to choose him as the husband of Duke Gao and ordered him to come to the capital, he still did not know the emperor's grace and did not repent! At the banquet in the Cining Palace, he openly contradicted the Empress Dowager and even threatened her with force. The concubines, wives of high-ranking officials in the capital, palace maids, eunuchs, and servants and guards who were present on the day witnessed this incident! "
"Your Majesty! This person not only openly offended the Empress Dowager, but after the banquet, he also ran to the Shuhua Palace, the bedroom of Concubine Hua, under the influence of alcohol... This act is simply disrespectful to the emperor, He is so reckless! "
"Your Majesty! This man is full of lust and is extremely restless! He knew that Your Majesty had arranged a marriage for him, but he went to Tianxiang Tower in Shili Painting Boat last night to have fun! Not only did he openly break the legs of Li Yuankai, the son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and Luo Zisheng, the prince of Lu, in public, but he also went boating with the top prostitute in Tianxiang Tower and spent the night with her! It is simply a violation of morals and a disgrace to society..."
...
In the hall, officials stood up one after another to impeach Lu Yu.
Not only did they bring out evidence of the evil things he had done after arriving in the capital, but they also dug up all the old accounts before. Some officials even brought up his identity and said that this person's identity was suspicious and difficult to verify...
Lu Yu couldn't help but complain in his heart. Didn't you know this information a long time ago? Why didn't you tell me when Emperor Jialing just confirmed that he would choose me as his son-in-law? Now you are all digging up the old accounts?
It was the first time for him to experience such a scene, which opened his eyes. It must be said that the officials who could stand in this hall were all very capable. Anyone who stood out could speak eloquently and eloquently. The key was that they all spoke in a decent and upright manner...
Even Lu Yu, who was listening to it, could not help but feel that he was indeed guilty of heinous crimes and could not be described in words.
There were also officials from Zhou Zunian's faction who took the initiative to stand up for Lu Yu, but they had two fists and four hands, and these impeachments were all facts. It was really difficult for them to find strong arguments to refute Lu Yu, so they were quickly defeated by the opponent's attacks.
Such a situation, let alone Lu Yu, even Zhou Zunian had never seen it before, that all the officials in the court would oppose one thing so unanimously.
The reason for this situation was naturally not because of his improper strategy, but because Lu Yu, this pig teammate, offended too many people, like a rat crossing the street, and everyone shouted and beat him.
Zhou Zunian glanced at Lu Yu quietly, and this glance immediately made his blood pressure rise and his anger burn.
Lu Yu stood at the end of the queue of officials, looking very interested and listening with great interest, and he seemed to be unaware that the focus of everyone's attack was him...
Zhou Zunian gnashed his teeth in hatred and couldn't help but curse in a low voice: Mud can't be helped!
Finally, even Master Yan stood up.
He said loudly: "It seems that this person does have many problems! Duke Gao has made great contributions to our Wu Dynasty. Your Majesty rewards the meritorious officials generously, which is understandable, but please be cautious in choosing a husband for Duke Gao! Duke Gao is a shining pearl of our Wu Dynasty, and we must not let the pearl be covered in dust!"
On the throne, Emperor Jialing knew that he had to speak at this time, so he asked: "Where is Wang Tieyi?"
No one answered.
It was not until everyone's eyes were looking at Lu Yu that he realized it belatedly and stood up in a hurry: "Your Majesty, I'm here."
Emperor Jialing said: "You come forward and talk."
So Lu Yu strode to the front of the hall and stopped when he happened to stand side by side with Qin Yanzhen. He also took the opportunity to sneak a glance at Qin Yanzhen, and saw that she was also looking at him with the corner of her eyes, with a faint smile on her lips.
Emperor Jialing asked: "You should have heard the doubts of the ministers about you just now, right? Wang Tieyi, do you have anything to say about this?"
Lu Yu slowly raised his head.
He first glanced at Emperor Jialing, who was sitting high on the dragon throne, and saw that he had a blank expression and deep eyes. He looked like a monarch with an unpredictable heart and could burst into anger at any time...
Then he turned his head and looked at Zhou Zunian, and saw that he was gritting his teeth, mumbling, and looked angry at him for not fighting and trusting the wrong person...
Then, Lu Yu glanced at the officials around him. Some were righteous, some were angry, and some were full of sarcasm... Lu Yu took in everyone's expressions and couldn't help but smile coldly.
Finally, he looked at Qin Yanzhen beside him, but saw that the smile on the face of this peerless female general became more and more intense, and there seemed to be a deep meaning in her eyes, as if reminding Lu Yu not to forget the agreement in Shuhua Palace that night...
"Wang Tieyi, His Majesty is asking you a question, didn't you hear it?"
Grand Master Yan reminded very dissatisfiedly.
Lu Yu grinned, and finally spoke...
"Fuck you, you can always find excuses to accuse me. I am a rough man who only knows how to fight and kill. I won't kill people like you bastards! You accused me, Wang, today. I don't want to say anything more. I only have one thing to say: If you are really dissatisfied with me, Wang, and don't accept my approach, come and fight me if you have the guts!"
The whole audience was stunned.
No one thought that after waiting for so long, Lu Yu would say such vulgar words.
In the solemn and solemn Zhengyang Palace, when have such vulgar words ever appeared?
It seems that this Hateful Blood Demon is just like his appearance, a vulgar, arrogant, and unbearable guy!
Now, even Emperor Jialing couldn't hold his face. How could he have imagined that the person who could kill Gao Zhengbang with one knife would be such a bastard?
Such a person, he would be too embarrassed to say that he is worthy of Qin Yanzhen!
Emperor Jialing could not help but get a little angry, and snorted coldly: "They said that you have bad behavior, I didn't believe it at first, but now it seems that you are not only bad, but also unrepentant! Come, drag him away immediately and punish him with fifty strokes of the cane!"
Emperor Jialing's words were different from those of Master Yan before. Immediately, the guards in the palace rushed towards Lu Yu.
"Your Majesty, wait a minute!"
At this time, Qin Yanzhen raised her head and a firm voice resounded throughout the venue.
"I am willing to marry this person!"
