Chapter 106: My Lord, I Can’t Do This Anymore
Thinking of this, he raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth and said, "I am the first-rank prime minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Of course I have the power to decide the case!"
After saying that, he sneered at Donghuang Taining.
This young man actually dares to stand up. Does he really think that he, the prime minister, is just a decoration?
Since you are asking for trouble, don't blame me for being cruel and ruthless!
"Humph!"
Luo Wenshan snorted coldly, looked at the imperial guards beside him, and said coldly: "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you take action?"
Hearing these words, the two imperial guards immediately stepped forward and grabbed Wan Dashan.
Seeing this scene, Donghuang Taining's face darkened.
This Luo Wenshan is really rampant.
However, in his heart, he had already figured out Luo Wenshan's character.
He hates people who don't play by the rules the most.
Not only does he have the support of his father, but also the support of the young master of the Jun family. You are just a prime minister, I am afraid of nothing!
"Go away!"
Seeing this, Donghuang Taining took the risk, rushed forward, and pushed away the two imperial guards who were holding Wan Dashan.
At this moment, a hint of viciousness flashed in Luo Wenshan's eyes.
It seems that Donghuang Taining is determined to make things difficult for him today.
Could it be that this pariah was the one behind the scenes being directed by the Donghuang family?
There have been rumors outside that the Donghuang family has been secretly supporting the second prince to become the crown prince of the Great Zhou.
With such a good opportunity to overthrow the eldest prince, how could the Dong royal family let it go?
The old man Donghuang Wenshan must be behind this, and he is only in charge of the overall situation.
Yes, that must be the case!
"Donghuang Yushi, you are so brave!"
After realizing this, Luo Wenshan showed a hint of smugness in his eyes. He pointed at Donghuang Taining and angrily shouted, "You actually obstructed the imperial guards from enforcing the law. Are you planning a rebellion?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of all the civil and military officials in the court fell on Donghuang Taining.
Donghuang Taining is a fourth-rank censor of the Great Zhou. Although his official position is not as high as those of prime ministers, he has the real power of supervision.
In addition, his father is the imperial teacher of the current dynasty, so the power held by both father and son is considerable.
Once there is a rebellion, it will be a fatal blow to the entire Great Zhou!
Luo Wenshan's words made it seem as if Donghuang Taining was planning a rebellion, and the deep meaning behind them can be imagined.
The looks that the other ministers gave Donghuang Taining also became complicated.
They also didn't expect that Donghuang Taining, who usually looked aloof and arrogant, would openly oppose the prime minister and even hinder the imperial guards for the sake of a lowly person.
These actions revealed an extremely abnormal flavor.
"Hahaha, the Prime Minister is trying to put the blame on me!"
Donghuang Taining roared towards the sky, his laughter full of disdain and sarcasm.
Hearing this, Luo Wenshan's expression became even uglier. He had not expected that Donghuang Taining would be so sharp-tongued.
However, he soon regained his composure and said calmly: "Donghuang Yushi, there is solid evidence that this lowly person framed my eldest prince. Do you still want to protect him?"
"Hahahaha, I have never seen anyone as shameless as the Prime Minister!"
Donghuang Taining's voice suddenly rose several times, showing his inner anger: "I am the censor of the Imperial Censorate, supervising the emperor and all officials!"
"The founding emperor of our Great Zhou once built this Chaotianque outside the imperial palace in order to leave the lower-class people with a last way to seek justice."
"In the face of irrefutable evidence, the eldest prince has clearly defiled someone's wife, so he should be punished accordingly! This is clearly written in the laws of my Great Zhou!"
"And Prime Minister, as the head of all officials, you openly turned black into white, protected the eldest prince, and even sent this unfortunate citizen to the Sky Prison to torture him into confessing. How much contempt for the law is this?"
"What qualifications do you have to be the prime minister of the Great Zhou?"
After hearing what Donghuang Taining said, everyone in the hall looked shocked.
I don't know what Donghuang Taining had eaten today. He was determined to fight the prime minister to the end. No, he wanted to slap the face of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
This Donghuang Taining is so ungrateful that he actually wants to provoke the royal family of Da Zhou. This is simply courting death!
Thinking of this, many civil servants secretly sighed. Donghuang Taining is really courting his own death this time!
At this moment, Luo Wenshan was shaking with anger.
Donghuang Taining was openly challenging his authority as prime minister.
How could he tolerate Donghuang Taining doing this?
"Donghuang Taining, I think you are really looking for death!"
As he said that, Luo Wenshan pounced towards Donghuang Taining.
Looking at Luo Wenshan rushing towards him, Donghuang Taining showed a mocking look on his face.
Luo Wenshan was indeed an old fox. When he saw that his own tail had been caught by himself, he became angry and prepared to attack himself.
Just when everyone thought that Donghuang Taining would be beaten up by Luo Wenshan.
A figure appeared in front of Donghuang Taining.
This person is none other than the General of Cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty—Huo Dingyuan, the second most important military general of the Great Zhou Dynasty!
"Prime Minister, this is the Council Hall!"
Huo Dingyuan looked at Luo Wenshan who was rushing towards him expressionlessly and said in a deep voice.
He was reminding Luo Wenshan that he could not use force to suppress others here, otherwise he would not sit idly by.
Seeing this, Luo Wenshan frowned slightly, looked at Huo Dingyuan, then looked at Donghuang Taining, and finally stopped his gaze on Huo Dingyuan's chest, with a cold look on his face.
Huo Dingyuan, General of the Cavalry of the Great Zhou, was extremely powerful.
Although his strength is good, he is unable to compete with Huo Dingyuan.
Luo Wenshan was well aware of this.
Therefore, he simply could not choose to confront Huo Dingyuan head-on.
"Your Majesty, they are bullying me, please help me!"
Seeing that the hard approach didn't work, Luo Wenshan decided to save the country in a roundabout way and directly drag the big boss, Emperor Zhou, into the water.
"enough!"
Emperor Zhou, who was sitting on the dragon throne, looked extremely ugly.
There was a hint of authority in his voice.
Through the confrontation between the few people just now, he seemed to have seen a clue.
His good nephew may be behind this.
If he chooses to suppress this matter today, what awaits him will be the public pressure from the people of Putengai.
By then, the majesty of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty would have completely disappeared among the lower-class people.
"What a vicious plot!"
Emperor Zhou murmured softly in his heart: "Good nephew, but uncle is not the kind of man who protects his cubs."
"As for sons, if you don't have any, you can have another one, but the throne of the Great Zhou still has to be held by your uncle!"
As soon as he thought of this, he said to Eunuch Li: "Take someone to bring the eldest prince to the Council Hall and confront the people who filed the complaint face to face!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Li took the order and left.

At this moment, in the eldest prince’s mansion.
"My Lord, I am no longer able to bear this."
