The second prince Zhou Mingyu really couldn't understand it, so he turned his gaze towards Donghuang Wenshan.
However, Donghuang Wenshan now had his hands behind his back, staring at the golden pillar in front of him.
He acted as if it had nothing to do with him and he didn't care.
At this time, a group of court officials were discussing the matter.
The people from Luo Wenshan's faction couldn't help but be a little surprised at this moment.
"What's going on? Why are they suddenly impeaching the Second Prince?"
"How can we know about the affairs of the Censorate? But I'm afraid it has something to do with that person..."
"That's right. After all, Donghuang Yushi is also on the same side as the Jun family. I think the young master of the Jun family is going to take action against the second prince..."
"So what should we do?"
"Nonsense, wait and see what the Prime Minister says."
The officials of Donghuang Wenshan faction also carefully looked at Donghuang Yushi's eyes at this moment.
Then, everyone looked at each other knowingly.
They already understood what Donghuang Yushi meant, and they knew that there would definitely be something interesting to watch later.
There are things they need to do.
As for those officials from poor families, their faces looked rather grim at this moment.
"What's going on? Didn't the Second Prince say that he already had the support of the Jun family? Why would the people of the Eastern Emperor Censor attack the Second Prince?"
"Is there some misunderstanding here?"
"People have already filed a complaint with the emperor, how could it be a misunderstanding?"
"If they continue to pursue us, we will also lend a helping hand to the Second Prince."
And now, the person with the ugliest expression is naturally the second prince.
He stared at the seventh-rank clerk with his eyes fixed, almost suppressing the anger that was about to roar out.
"This prince is asking you! What evidence do you have?"
"If you don't have evidence, then you are slandering this prince. Be careful that your official hat will be in jeopardy!"
There was an obvious murderous look on the second prince's face.
He has only been in office for a few days, and someone has already dared to act against him. If he doesn't make an example of someone to scare the monkeys, there will definitely be many people who want to take action against him in the future!
The seventh-rank clerk snorted coldly, then took out a stack of letters from his sleeve.
"Of course I have evidence!"
He said righteously: "If there is no evidence, how dare I sue you, the Second Prince, who has such a high official background?"
"Everyone, these are the letters that the Second Prince secretly colluded with officials. Please circulate them."
The seventh-rank clerk distributed the letters in his hand. After reading them, some officials couldn't help but nod their heads.
"It is undoubtedly evidence of the Second Prince's collusion with officials."
"This letter also involves many policies that have not been promulgated by the court. Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"Yes, this is clearly the job of our Censor-in-Chief. How can we let the people from the Ministry of Revenue see it?"
"This is really inappropriate, Your Majesty. I also think that the Second Prince colluded with officials and violated the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He should be punished!"
After these officials circulated it, they stood up one after another and agreed with the seventh-rank official.
In fact, some of the officials had already known that this would happen today, and reading the letter just now was just a formality.
The people from the Censorate are good at speaking, and at this moment they sound even more sarcastic.
"The Second Prince has just arrived at the morning court to attend government affairs, but he didn't expect that this is the first thing a new official should do. Why is he so anxious to win over his own forces?"
"Could it be that the Second Prince already thinks that the position of crown prince is set in stone? He actually colluded with officials so blatantly that he even ignored the laws of the Great Zhou?" "Tsk tsk, if this letter had not been suddenly revealed, if things had continued as they were, I'm afraid the relationship between the Second Prince and the officials would have surpassed that of Your Majesty, right?"
"The eldest prince just passed away, and the second prince is so anxious. Does the death of the eldest prince mean nothing to His Highness?"
When the second prince saw so many people impeaching him, his eyes widened instantly.
He simply couldn't believe it. Everything was fine a few days ago. He was just listening to government affairs and expressing his opinions, and no one said anything to him at all.
But now, how come these court officials suddenly became his enemies?
"You, you are slandering me!"
The second prince's face turned red, and he was about to burst out with anger.
He pointed at the officials who had stepped out of the queue and said angrily, "This prince only interacted with these officials. Why do you say it was collusion?!"
"I am also heartbroken by the death of the eldest prince, but does his death mean that the court will cease to function?!"
"And these letters were forged by you!"
However, the seventh-rank clerk snorted coldly.
There was a hint of disdain on his face. The Second Prince was actually being led by them.
"Your Highness, this letter is the evidence. There is also your handwriting on it. There is no need for you to quibble!"
"Besides, it is clearly written in the letter that since the various departments of the court have clear divisions of labor, the policies of each department cannot communicate with each other."
"Otherwise, how can this decree be implemented? Your Highness's actions completely violate the laws of the Great Zhou!"
The second prince was also stunned by these words.
In fact, he became a little inflated after gaining power. Moreover, since he wanted to win over those officials from humble backgrounds, he had to let them have access to the most core power.
So for him, there was nothing wrong with doing this.
But according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, this is simply not feasible.
"You, you guys... I just want to implement the policy and speed up its improvement. What's wrong with that?"
The second prince blushed and argued cunningly.
However, at this moment, Prime Minister Luo Wenshan also stood out from the queue.
He looked seriously at Emperor Zhou who was sitting on the dragon throne.
"Your Majesty, the Second Prince's actions are against our ancestors' teachings!"
"Throughout history, even the crown prince is not allowed to form cliques and engage in private business, let alone the second prince who has not yet become the crown prince. He has colluded with officials, which has violated the ancestral precepts left by the founding ancestors!"
As soon as the words "founding ancestor" came out, the second prince was so frightened that he collapsed to the ground.
It's not for any other reason, but because as long as the founding ancestor is brought up, even the laws of the Great Zhou will have to stand aside.
What he did indeed violated the ancestral teachings left by his ancestors!
Emperor Zhou had been a little confused from the beginning, and now that Luo Wenshan had stepped forward, he was even more stunned.
The momentum was so huge that he had never encountered such a scene in all his years in power.
Among the civil servants, except for those from poor families, all other officials joined the army to impeach the second prince.
This is unprecedented in the history of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Emperor Zhou didn't even need to think about it, he knew that this matter must be related to Jun Lintian.
He cursed in his heart again, Jun Lintian is such a bastard, it's really abominable.
Not only did they force the eldest prince to death some time ago, but now they are going to take action against the second prince?
Emperor Zhou was so angry that his teeth itched. This bastard probably didn't take him seriously! (End of this chapter)
