Chapter 388 Qingchuan 5
Censor Lin sat in the study room for most of the night, holding the indictment of Minister Yao that suddenly appeared on the desk.
With these evidences, the Yao Mansion will inevitably fall.
Minister Yao really deserves to die for doing these things!
But now Minister Yao is at the peak of his powers in the imperial court, and half of the power in the court belongs to him.
Moreover, Concubine Lan gave birth to the third and seventh princes.
The third prince is the most likely to ascend to that position.
Moreover, the Third Prince liked his daughter Juan'er very much and had said many times that he wanted to take Juan'er as his principal wife.
Although he hated Minister Yao's character, it was not easy to overthrow him and he needed to plan carefully.
Once the Yao family is eliminated, the court will be in chaos.
Qingchuan, who was on the roof, just quietly watched Censor Lin sitting in a daze in the study.
After an incense stick, he left the Censor's Mansion and headed towards the Grand Prince's Mansion.
The emperor is old, and the battle for the throne is fierce. The third prince's biggest rival is the eldest prince.
In Yiyunyu, Qingchuan was sitting in a teahouse in a blue dress, with a cup of tea just filled by the waiter on the table.
I only heard someone excitedly say: "Today's morning court is very lively, have you heard about it?"
"Of course I heard about it. Who wouldn't know about such a big thing?"
Qingchuan said calmly: "My two brothers, what happened at the court today?"
"Oh, you don't know yet. At the morning court today, the Left Prime Minister and Censor Lin jointly impeached Minister Yao. Minister Yao relied on his daughter to be a concubine in the palace. He is so bold and presumptuous that it is intolerable to heaven!"
"Yes, not only did he withhold the snow disaster relief money issued by the court every year, causing the victims to die of illness and starvation, he also secretly killed officials who rebelled against him, and even captured many young prostitutes to enjoy himself in his mansion."
"Yes, yes, the Left Prime Minister and Censor Lin both produced evidence of Minister Yao's guilt, and the Emperor was so angry that he almost passed out."
Qingchuan's eyes darkened slightly: "Then how did the emperor deal with it?"
"Minister Yao will be thrown into the Heavenly Prison and executed at noon tomorrow. The Yao family's property will be confiscated, the slaves will be dismissed, and he will never be allowed to serve in the government again."
"Yes, this punishment is already considered light. Who let the Yao family have Concubine Lan? If it is too severe, it will not be good for the Third Prince and the Seventh Prince."
"Yes, yes, this kind of thing should have resulted in the extermination of all nine clans. Although the emperor was so angry that he fainted, he still cared about the third prince and only killed Minister Yao and confiscated his property."
"What do you know? No matter how much the Emperor cares about Minister Yao, the fall of the Yao Mansion is like cutting off the Third Prince's arm!"
"Yes, the Left Prime Minister is the eldest prince's man. If only the Left Prime Minister impeached him, the emperor would be suspicious and might not take any serious action. He would only think that the eldest prince had ulterior motives and wanted to weaken the power of the third prince. But Censor Lin never took sides and only worked for the emperor. He was upright and honest. He also participated this time, so the emperor had to believe it."
"Hey, keep your voices down. Although the Yao family has fallen, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. If you criticize the court without authorization, you will be beheaded."
Some people laughed in a low voice: "Yes, keep your voice down. Now that the Yao family has fallen, I'm afraid the direction of the court will also change."
"That's right. The eldest and third princes are fighting fiercely behind the scenes, and the other princes are all eyeing them covetously. It looks like a bloody storm is about to come."
Qingchuan raised his hand and drank the cup of tea that had already cooled down in front of him, then turned and left the teahouse where people were still talking.
