Looking at the plate handed to him, the Minister of Rites was shaking.

He knew that there must be nothing good here.

But he dared not not open it.

My hands were trembling and I couldn't lift them up several times.

"Mr. Liu."

The eunuch didn't give him too much time to hesitate, and urged him with a sharp voice.

Everyone's eyes were on the plate covered with red cloth in the eunuch's hands, especially the ministers who followed Lord Liu to ask the emperor to prove themselves, were trembling.

Although they didn't know what was on the plate, the emperor's words were not good things.

He can take out what can clamp Lord Liu, but he may not have what can clamp them.

It is very likely that after the courtship is over today, they will not be able to go home.

For a moment, many people regretted it.

Choosing this path may be a helpless one, but as long as you choose, once you choose and take the first step, there will be no way out.

"Mr. Liu——" The eunuch urged again with a sharp voice.

The Minister of Rites had no way to avoid it, and beads of sweat as big as beans on his forehead fell down.

finally--

He reached out and uncovered the red cloth.

Put neatly placed letters on a plate.

He could not know much about those letters, many of which were written by himself.

Some were written for him.

But these were obviously placed in the secret compartment of the study room, why was they here?

"Your Majesty... I am wronged..."

The Minister of Rites knelt on the ground with a "thump" sound, his face pale as paper.

"I'm wronged? Then you explain to me what happened to these letters? How could I wronged you?"

The Minister of Rites dared not speak.

What's going on with these letters?

That is a mountain of iron evidence.

"Your Majesty, I am loyal." The Minister of Rites was still making the final struggle.

But Han Xiaoshan no longer gave him any chance and said directly: "Loyalty? Then let the ministers listen carefully to how loyal you are! Read to me!"

An eunuch immediately stepped forward, took out the letter placed on the top, and said:

"...At the latest August 13th, the position of Emperor Dongshu must be locked..."

There are other contents before and after, but this sentence is especially loud.

Everyone heard it.

Those who stood up with the Minister of Rites were all ashamed.

"Liu Chengquan, you dare to murder Your Majesty, you dare to use us!" Someone suddenly shouted and rushed towards the Minister of Rites.

But as soon as he took a step, several armored soldiers held him down.

The others were also angry, but they did not dare to move around anymore.

The eunuch was still reciting, and he read seven or eight letters, each of which was a letter interaction between Liu Chengquan, the Minister of Rites, and the mysterious man.

The reason why they are mysterious people is that none of these letters are signed, but the content of the letter is that every word and sentence reveals the determination to take the life of the Emperor of Dongshu.

"Liu Chengquan, what else do you have to say?" Han Xiaoshan said coldly.

Liu Chengquan, the Minister of Rites, couldn't say a word. He fell to the ground and felt as if he had been pulled away from all his anger.

"A man came, removed all his posts from the Minister of Rites Liu Chengquan, imprisoned him in the Heavenly Prison, and then left behind after hearing this."

Han Xiaoshan finished speaking and looked around the other people for a week, landing on the other people who were still kneeling on the ground trembling.

The people were so scared that they didn't dare to breathe. They all crawled on the ground, trembling and begging for mercy:

"Your Majesty, I am also bewitched by Liu Chengquan. He said he is not sure whether Your Majesty is safe, and we are also worried about Your Majesty's safety."

"Your Majesty, please spare me. We are just worried about Your Majesty, and about Dongshu."

...

Han Xiaoshan was still silent, looking at them with cold eyes, and suddenly he said the names of several people in a row, and said directly: "All of them are put into the Heavenly Prison."

There were dozens of people.

Except for the one who followed Liu Chengquan to force the emperor before, there were other people who had never said a word since they went to court.

There is even one person who is just a fifth-rank official.

"Your Majesty, please spare me."

"Your Majesty, what crime should we be arrested if we have committed."

...

A total of ten people, except for those who followed Liu Chengquan, all the rest were calling themselves innocent and asking them what crime they had committed and were arrested.

But with Liu Chengquan's incident, no one cares whether the emperor can provide evidence.

He could even bring up the evidence of Liu Chengquan's collaboration with the enemy and treason, let alone these people.

If they hadn't done anything, how could the emperor suddenly arrest them?

Soon, all ten people were taken down.

Han Xiaoshan looked at everyone coldly and said, "You are curious why I want to arrest them? I don't know what crime they committed?"

"Okay, I will give you evidence!"

With his order, some eunuchs immediately came to the court with the same plate as before.

"Show these to the ministers and let them see how many borers I have in the court!"

The plates were delivered to different ministers.

After all the ministers saw it, their faces changed drastically.

King Xiang's face was even more ugly: "Bertilizers! They should be cut into pieces by thousands of knives and split into pieces!"

"Do you should kill the nine clans!"

"A small minister of the Ministry of Revenue is so greedy. You don't know?"

The Minister of Revenue, who was asked by his colleagues, took the evidence of the crime that the minister was looking at, glanced quickly, and knelt on the ground with a pale face:

"Your Majesty spares your life, it's because the misunderstanding is wrong."

In addition to the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of War is also involved.

It was also the subordinate officials who were investigated.

In fact, when the officials under their subordinates were arrested, they knew that they would inevitably be implicated.

Even if they did nothing, they could not escape the responsibility of being inattentive.

Many people knelt on the ground.

Some were arrested for family members, while others were arrested for subordinate officials.

One person was arrested and involved a large area, so that more than half of the people were kneeling in the court.

The evidence of the crimes was still circulating among the ministers, and Han Xiaoshan, who was in charge, never spoke.

As more and more people kneel down.

He suddenly said, "Okay, let's get here today and leave the court."

As soon as these words were said, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But then, my heart rose again.

They were implicated, but were not punished, and they didn't even say what to do.

This means that there is always a sword hanging over their heads.

For a moment, everyone was in danger.

After the emperor retired from the court, he went back to the imperial study room directly.

The little eunuch next to him stepped forward and said with a smile: "A Yue, you are so awesome. Those people are so scared by you that they dare not say a word."

This little eunuch is Asan, who has been with him since Han Xiaoshan ascended the throne.

During this period, various things happened in the palace, and Han Yelin and Su Hongshan were not around. Thanks to Asan's company, he took it over.

Listening to Asan's unconcealed admiration, Han Xiaoshan curled his lips and said, "I didn't have the chance to introduce you to my mother that day. My mother may enter the palace later. Do you want to change your clothes and meet me?"
