The two of them stood in the court, and half an hour later, Emperor Liang came to the hall.
"Today, there will be no morning court session, only a joint trial by the three judicial officials! My dear ministers, there is no need to be restrained. You should eat and drink. I have prepared for you all the finest delicacies!"
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Civil and military officials all shouted loudly.
"Alright! Let's stop talking nonsense and get started!"
Emperor Liang said in a deep voice.
Then he picked up the chicken leg beside him and started eating. Seeing this, Chen Zhong also walked forward, took a piece of horse meat and a jar of wine from the table and started eating.
The atmosphere at the scene instantly became much more relaxed, and officials came forward to get something to eat.
Qin Yu was speechless. It was such a serious occasion and the parties involved hadn't even started yet, but these people had already started eating. If he prepared some melon seeds for them, they would probably start chatting!
"Your Majesty! Let me take the lead in this matter!"
At this time, an old man with white hair and beard spoke.
This person is Yin Ran, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. He came from a military background. Because of his great contributions, he was promoted to the Ministry of War as an exception. Later, he showed extraordinary talents and was promoted to the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple!
There has always been a rumor that this person is very close to Shangguan Xiong. Whether this rumor is true or not, we should have a result today!
"Over the past few days, the Dali Temple has conducted a thorough investigation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Shangguan, Grand Tutor Wen, His Royal Highness Qin Wu, and His Royal Highness Qin Mang, and has uncovered many issues!"
"First of all, His Highness the Second Prince is not just extravagant, he's licentious! He has no fewer than twenty beautiful wives and concubines in his mansion alone!"
"A golden carriage, who in the entire imperial capital wouldn't envy him? Moreover, His Highness the Second Prince spends money like water. If this money wasn't obtained through corruption and abuse of power, I really can't imagine where else he could have gotten so much money!"
"And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is even worse than that. He openly engages in business, competes with the people for profit, and even commits absurd acts such as murder and arson in public!"
"The soldiers killed were all meritorious officials who fought for the country and killed the enemy. Moreover, after investigation, our Dali Temple found no signs of anyone breaking into the Second Prince's residence!"
"So, His Royal Highness the Second Prince is lying! And His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is also helping His Royal Highness the Second Prince slander a veteran of four dynasties. This matter, the Dali Temple will not let it go!"
Yin Ran said coldly.
Imperial Censor Zhao Gu smiled and nodded, saying, "Your Majesty! What Yin Shaoqing said is absolutely correct. The truth that my Censorate investigated is not much different from this, so I won't go into details!"
"The Censorate is extremely disgraceful of the Second Prince and the Crown Prince's corrupt and abusive behavior. Today, they must be judged!"
Ha ha!
After hearing this, Qin Yu sneered. He could confirm that Yin Ran was Shangguan Xiong's man, but what he didn't expect was that the censor of the Censorate was also Shangguan Xiong's man!
The Censor may have the responsibility to supervise all officials. In the history of Daliang, all officials of the Censorate were not allowed to have any communication with other officials!
capital offense!
Both of them have committed capital crimes!
"Where's the Ministry of Justice?"
Emperor Liang asked casually.
"Your Majesty! The matters investigated by the Censorate and the Dali Temple are all public knowledge. There is no need for further investigation!"
"However, apart from the fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Second Prince spent a lot of money, there is no solid evidence for anything else. I, the Ministry of Justice, dare not make any rash comments!"
