Morning court.

With Luo Wenshan taking the lead, other officials from Luo Wenshan's faction also came forward to impeach Su Yuanwu.

"Your Majesty, I also impeach the Minister of Personnel Su Yuanwu! If we allow this traitor to continue to do whatever he wants in the court, I wonder whether the court will be ruled by the Zhou or Su clan."

This sentence really offended Su Yuanwu to death.

Others said even harsher things.

"That's right. Su Yuanwu colluded with court officials and even used all means to win them over. I really don't know who he accepted and how much benefit he got."

"This kind of corrupt official must not become a parasite of the Great Zhou Dynasty!"

"I beg Your Majesty to execute this official!"

"Su Yuanwu embezzled a lot of money, all of which belonged to the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is not a pity for him to die. I think he should be put to death by slow slicing!"

Su Yuanwu's expression had become extremely ugly, but at this moment he just had a cold face and said nothing.

He was very familiar with such scenes. After all, wasn't it the same thing when the Second Prince was impeached by all the civil and military officials in the court?

But now no one is willing to help him.

He has kept a low profile in the court for so many years, always keeping a low profile and watching the intrigues of those in the court with cold eyes.

Naturally, I have also seen many ministers being impeached and killed.

So as early as when Zhao Han died, he already knew his fate.

But at the moment, no one was willing to stand up and say a word for him, which really made him feel disheartened.

Luo Wenshan and Donghuang Wenshan looked at the scene in front of them and felt very happy.

If they could squeeze Su Yuanwu out of the court, they would be able to gain more power.

Moreover, the power of the second prince will be greatly weakened.

Those who were originally transferred away from the center of power by Su Yuanwu can also be reassigned back by them.

But now it’s still lacking a little bit of heat!
Donghuang Taining and Luo Wenshan looked at each other, and both of them showed no expression, but waited and saw what would happen.

At this time, several officials from humble backgrounds also joined the army to impeach Su Yuanwu.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Su Yuanwu for attempting to bribe me and use his power and position to shake my determination to be loyal to the king and serve the country!"

"It's the same for me! Su Yuanwu secretly sent a large sum of money to my house a few days ago in order to win me over. However, due to the position of Minister Su, I did not dare to expose it."

"Your Majesty, Su Yuanwu once sent me several singing girls in an attempt to plant spies around me. I beg Your Majesty to investigate this person thoroughly!"

These officials from poor families were actually throwing dirty water on Su Yuanwu.

After all, Su Yuanwu was not very powerful in the court.

But he was a Minister of Personnel after all. If he wanted to win over these officials, he didn't need to spend money or give women away.

As long as he said a word, these people were willing to work for him.

But now Su Yuanwu has become the target of public criticism. Even though these officials from poor families have received favors from Su Yuanwu, they will naturally impeach Su Yuanwu in order to protect themselves.

Not to mention that His Royal Highness the Second Prince had hinted to them a few times about this matter, so naturally they did not feel any guilt at all.

Water flows to lower place, man goes to higher position.

Compared with His Royal Highness the Second Prince and Su Yuanwu, they naturally know who is stronger and who is weaker!
At one time, almost all the civil and military officials in the court impeached Su Yuanwu. It can be said that Su Yuanwu was not a popular figure at that time.

Not only did Donghuang Yushi and Luo Wenshan's people frantically impeach him, but even the Second Prince's people were adding insult to injury.

Su Yuanwu sighed in his heart and didn't know what to say at this moment.

The second prince, who was standing at the front of the civil officials, also turned his head and glanced at Su Yuanwu, with a sneer on his face. From the beginning, he had never considered Su Yuanwu as his own.

Because the second prince knew very well that the reason Su Yuanwu had been able to endure in the court for so many years was actually to gain greater power one day in the future.

His ambition is not small at all!

The second prince thought that Su Yuanwu knew how to be patient and was also his uncle.

In addition, the other party's ambition was so big that he could not control it, so he had been pretending to be nice to Su Yuanwu.

He doesn't want to be at the mercy of Su Yuanwu after he becomes emperor in the future!

The second prince does not want anyone to step on him, including his uncle Su Yuanwu, and even more so the current emperor, his biological father, Emperor Zhou!

"Your Majesty! I have presented the evidence. Su Yuanwu colluded with court officials, accepted bribes, and flaunted his power. His crimes are even more serious. Your Majesty, please punish him!"

At this time, Donghuang Wenshan stood up and spoke loudly.

So many officials are impeaching Su Yuanwu, now they are just waiting for him to stand up and let the emperor make a decision.

Emperor Zhou had just been watching coldly, but he became more and more alert and worried after seeing what happened next.

He also didn't expect that Su Yuanwu would end up being impeached by all the officials in the court.

Originally, Emperor Zhou intended to resolve the matter by adopting a conciliatory attitude.

But when he saw that even officials from humble families had joined the crusade against Su Yuanwu, he couldn't help but look at the second prince.

It is obvious that the second prince was also involved in this matter.

Although the Second Prince had not said a word during the court session today, these officials from humble backgrounds were actually following his orders.

When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. The trend cannot be resisted.

Emperor Zhou sighed in his heart. No matter what, Su Yuanwu was an old minister after all and had never opposed him.

He felt very sorry for this relationship between the monarch and his subjects.

"Su Yuanwu, do you admit your guilt?"

Emperor Zhou's eyes turned cold as he stared at Su Yuanwu.

The originally noisy Council Hall also became completely quiet.

Many officials knew that since Emperor Zhou said this, it meant that he agreed to expel Su Yuanwu from the court.

Su Yuanwu first sighed, then walked out of the queue, knelt on the ground respectfully, took off the black hat on his head and placed it in front of him.

"Your Majesty, I have nothing to say... I will obey your majesty's orders!"

He has endured for so many years in the court, keeping his tail between his legs like a coward, and now he can only retain the last bit of dignity for himself.

Of course he did not admit to these crimes. After all, everything he did was actually to serve the Second Prince.

It’s a pity that he has now been abandoned by the second prince.

There was no sign of joy or anger on Emperor Zhou's face, but there was clearly a hint of helplessness in his eyes.

"Su Yuanwu, you colluded with court officials and embezzled a huge amount of money. You are truly a parasite of the country. According to the laws of the Great Zhou, you should be beheaded in public."

"But I will spare your life for the Queen's sake."

"Pass on my decree. From today on, Su Yuanwu will be dismissed from his position as Minister of Personnel and exiled 3,000 miles away. He will never be employed again. His property will be confiscated and put into the national treasury. His family members will be expelled from the capital."

When Su Yuanwu heard the emperor's order, he felt relieved. Fortunately, he was not beheaded in public. At least he could survive for a while.

It's a pity... after being exiled three thousand miles away, it would be difficult for him to return to Beijing! (End of this chapter)
