Chapter 20
Chapter 20
"Thirty thousand private soldiers? What? Do I need to ask for an imperial decree, asking His Majesty to severely punish the Lu family?"
Su Luqi will not tolerate the other party. If Duke Lu is dissatisfied, he can take action and cause trouble for him.
"Your Majesty, I have evidence of Lord Lu's guilt here. Please review it."
The eunuch took it and presented it to Li Chen.
Li Chen looked at the memorial in front of him and to be honest, he didn't want to accept it.
But Su Luqi was already talking non-stop, and every word he said was about the countless crimes of the Minister of Justice.
To be honest, this kind of thing is very common among aristocratic families. After all, how many people in such a position have clean hands?
Selling official positions, forming cliques for personal gain, accepting bribes...all these things made Lu Zhao's blood boil.
Is it only his Lu family who does these things?
Forming a clique for personal gain?
How dare you say that? In the whole court, who can form a clique for personal gain better than you, the Minister of the Central Secretariat?
But he didn't dare say this. If he did, these aristocratic families would definitely join forces to kick him out in order to protect themselves.
"Your Majesty, I request your permission to punish the Lu family."
"I second the proposal."
"I second the proposal!"
In just a short moment, a group of ministers chose to second the motion, including those who had previously impeached Su Heng.
A fence-sitter will go whichever way the wind blows.
"You...you..."
Seeing that half of the civil and military officials in the court had chosen to second the motion, Lu Zhao felt so angry that he spit out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.
"Pass on the royal doctor."
"Marquis Ningguo, I leave this matter to you. Make sure you find out the reason."
"Retreat."
After saying this, Li Chen chose to leave.
Whether the Lu family falls or not, it is beneficial to Daqian.
Besides, the Lu family still has Duke Lu in charge, so it won’t be so easy for them to fall.
When the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman benefits. Let you fight! He just sits back and reaps the benefits.
Su family.
As soon as Su Luqi returned to the mansion after court, Su Huan came to greet him, along with two attendants behind him.
These two priests were the two grandmasters he had sent to the southern border some time ago. They returned to the Su family yesterday.
The reason why he was like this in the court today was naturally inseparable from Su Heng's help.
Including those so-called evidences, everything that happened in the court meeting developed as Su Heng had expected.
"I'm tired, let's all go down!"
Su Luqi opened his mouth and gave an order.
Su Huan wanted to say something, but was warned by his father's eyes, so he had no choice but to retreat.
The two priests did the same and retreated.
Su Luqi returned to the room, took off his court clothes and hung them on the hanger beside him.
"Come out!"
Su Luqi said this, knelt down, and scooped a spoonful of tea from the boiling teapot.
As Su Luqi finished speaking, a middle-aged man with a huge sword on his back walked out from behind the screen.
"Shengqi, meet the Second Master."
Shengqi bowed slightly and saluted.
Sheng Qi, holding the Ju Que sword that ranks eleventh in the Feng Hu Zi sword manual, was once a black swordsman feared by the world.
After being defeated by Nie Gai, he was imprisoned in the Shiya Prison. Under the coercion of Zhao Gao, he became a Luowang killer.
Although there is no accurate ranking, his strength can definitely be ranked among Luowang's top killers.
After being summoned by Su Heng, he was also sent to Qianjing and became the person in charge of Luowang in Kyoto.
Those pieces of evidence were collected during his time in Kyoto when he was setting up his network.
"What do you want to do next, Heng'er?"
Su Luqi took a sip of tea and asked lightly.
"The position of the Minister of Justice."
Shengqi had nothing to hide. After all, he would still need the help of this second master for the next things.
"He wants to place his own people?"
Su Luqi frowned slightly and looked at Shengqi.
Once they make an effort, the emperor will naturally know that the new Minister of Justice is their man.
Besides, I’m afraid the emperor will not let go of this position easily.
"The prince asked me to tell the Second Master that the art of being an emperor lies in balancing the pros and cons."
"The court at this time needs a neutral group of ministers to balance each other."
