PFC Chapter 1320
Chapter 1320
Qin Kui stood tall and straight, calmly and sternly rebuking, "These parasites who harm the country and its people, endangering the Ming Dynasty, deserve to die a hundred or a thousand times!"
After he finished speaking, he even turned his head and glanced at the other court officials around him.
Her unwavering gaze and resolute demeanor caused many already timid individuals to instinctively avoid her eyes, silently lowering their heads, only daring to curse inwardly: "Damn lackey!!! Now that he's gained His Majesty's favor and reliance, his tail is practically wagging in the air!"
But they can only curse in their hearts.
After all, Qin Kui used the moral high ground of this matter to openly scold most people.
Of course, an even more important reason why Qin Kui was so fearless was that he had already obtained permission to enter and leave the Alchemy Department. Even if he didn't know all of Zhu Yunwen's strength, he had a rough idea of it.
And the next moment.
Another person stepped forward: "Your humble servant Ru Chang seconds this proposal! This crime is heinous... It should be thoroughly investigated and severely punished!!"
He is now the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War!
Previously, he was the Minister of War. In order not to alert the enemy and attract attention, Zhu Yunwen publicly demoted him. Every time he discussed matters with Ru Chang, he would use hunting as an excuse to secretly make contact.
However, now that Zhu Yunwen has decided to start flipping the table, there is no need to keep the connection between Ru Chang and himself so secret.
"hiss……"
"The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War...??"
"Ru...Master Ru!!?"
When Ru Chang actually stood up to second the motion, the already complicated looks and expressions of the crowd became even more astonished and incredulous...
They stared intently at Ru Chang's retreating figure, completely baffled.
Wasn't this guy inexplicably stripped of his title as Minister of War by His Majesty last year? Besides, His Majesty has been distant and indifferent towards him since ascending the throne, showing no regard for him... Why is he meddling in this now?
Everyone expressed complete incomprehension and great shock.
But at the same time.
Their fear and unease grew stronger.
Everyone knows that although Ru Chang is the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of War has never appointed a Minister, so he is the de facto Minister of War.
In other words, in this way...
Of the six most powerful ministries in the court, the heads of the Ministry of Works, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of War... are all on the same side as the one on the throne who's causing this huge mess!! —This time, they're doing this mess alongside His Majesty!!
"Logically speaking, this matter is too deep and too wide-ranging, not only affecting scholars across the land but also trampling on the feet of many dukes and military officials in Huaixi. He should be unable to move an inch! No one should bother with him!"
"How could it be... so easily...?"
"Could it be that they and His Majesty are truly planning to overturn the entire Ming Dynasty?"
"If His Majesty were to truly overturn the entire Ming Dynasty, most of us scholars would be severely punished!"
"What should we do? What should we do?"
"..."
Seeing that the situation was completely different from what they had expected, and that the matter was showing signs of steady progress, most people inevitably began to panic.
But they hadn't expected it.
This is not finished.
Ren Hengtai, the Minister of Rites and one of the heads of the Six Ministries, also stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I, Ren Hengtai, second this proposal!"
On the dragon throne, Zhu Yunwen raised an eyebrow, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "This Ren Hengtai... although he hasn't been trying too hard to impress me, he almost always votes for me. And today, even in something like this..."
Given Ren Hengtai's previous performance, Zhu Yuntong was somewhat pleasantly surprised, but not unexpected about Ren Hengtai's statement.
I just always feel like... there's something strange about this guy.
