Fake Eunuch: Discovering the Emperor is a Woman!-Chapter 217 - 215: I Wish to Impeach Lin Yi (The Twelfth Update)
Chapter 217: Chapter 215: I Wish to Impeach Lin Yi (The Twelfth Update)
No need to guess, this guy is definitely here to lodge a complaint against me.
Moreover, if my guess is correct, his target should be me, definitely not the young Emperor.
After all, he doesn’t have the guts to lodge a complaint against the Emperor.
And as the Emperor’s spokesperson, he is very likely to set his sights directly on me.
Or perhaps they want to take this opportunity to bring me down.
After all, everything is my doing, and I have been too conspicuous with my actions lately.
It can be said that the young Emperor has his accomplishments today all thanks to my help.
It can be said that I have now become a thorn in the side of both the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince.
Only by getting rid of me can they feel truly at ease.
At the same time, if I were really removed, I believe it would be difficult for the young Emperor, with his current strength and skills, to compete against them.
It may not be long before the young Emperor is completely sidelined.
At the same time, the throne of the Emperor of You Country may well be completely taken over by someone else.
At this thought, Lin Yi couldn’t help but frown.
If they want to mess with my woman, they would have to see if my knife agrees.
Although I don’t carry a knife in my hand right now, I have countless ways to bring you all down.
And indeed, just as Lin Yi had speculated.
Upon stepping forward, the guy immediately bowed to the Emperor.
Following that, the young Emperor also immediately turned his gaze down on him, waiting for him to continue.
Naturally, the young Emperor also knew the purpose of his visit and therefore showed no good expression towards him.
And as for the Emperor’s expression, it was none of these Imperial Censors’ business.
Are you kidding, if the Emperor is in a bad mood, we’re supposed to keep silent?
That would be a joke.
The more the Emperor doesn’t want to hear something, the more we Imperial Censors have to say it to prove our integrity.
Only by doing so can we leave our names in history. Heh, flattering the Emperor will only get us cursed to death.
Moreover, although the young Emperor dislikes us very much, although what we say is unpleasant, what can you do to us?
If you dare lay a hand on us, you are refusing to listen to counsel.
Since ancient times, Imperial Censors have had the right to speak freely.
If you, the Emperor, show anger towards the Imperial Censors, or vent your anger on us, that is your dereliction of duty as Emperor.
As expected, after seeing the people’s eyes on him, the guy barely revealed a slight, barely detectable smile.
He quickly suppressed it and turned his face very serious, raised his head to look directly at the young Emperor in the upper seat, and spoke in a tone devoid of any emotion:
"Your Majesty, I have a petition to report. I accuse the Assistant General of the Left Martial Guard, the Acting Ministers of the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Rites, Lin Yi, of abusing his power and profiting at the expense of the people!
This is indeed a disgrace to the officials, and a stain upon Your Majesty.
I earnestly request Your Majesty to look into it. Remove him from office for investigation, to serve as a warning to others."
While saying this, he reached into his sleeve and pulled out a scroll, holding it high.
Clearly, what he took out was the petition he had written directly last night.
It listed all of Lin Yi’s crimes.
Upon seeing this, the young Emperor immediately waved his hand, and at once, a small eunuch briskly walked down from the corridor on the side.
He then carefully brought the scroll up to the Emperor.
The young Emperor directly reached out to take it, glanced over it after opening it, and turned his gaze towards Lin Yi.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the young Emperor directly threw the scroll towards Lin Yi and said to him:
"Little Lin, take a look yourself. Are these things that Ma Zhou has mentioned true? Do you have any words of defense to say?"
Lin Yi, upon seeing this, directly caught the scroll with one hand.
Then, he took it in front of him and started to skim through it roughly.
Upon looking at it, he was somewhat amused.
He didn’t expect this guy’s literary skills to be really good, if put in later times, at least he could be a third-rate author.
Putting aside wealth and status, at the very least, securing a living should not be a problem.
Not only did he list out all his actions, but he also assertively fabricated many charges against him.
Among them, the most conspicuous was the accusation of competing with the people for profit, and underneath were lined and boxed a great many citations of sage words, such as "officials must not compete with citizens for profit" and so on. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
At last, he even cited classics to illustrate various intolerable behaviors from former dynasties.
Although between the lines, there was no intention to criticize the Emperor, anyone who read this petition would know that it was criticizing the young Emperor’s inaction and accusing the young Emperor of competing with the people for profit.
At this moment, having skimmed through it once, Lin Yi rolled up the scroll again.
He then looked towards the young Emperor and bowed to him:
"Your Majesty, I do not agree with what Minister Ma has said."
After saying these words, the response from the Civil and Military Officials below was within expectations.
Anyone would think that the other party would not directly admit to the crimes.
If he really admitted the guilt, his whole life would be ruined.
Moreover, the reputation of the young Emperor behind him would also be greatly tarnished.
One could say that his prestige in front of the Civil and Military Officials would be gone.
Furthermore, they also thought that this mere Ma Zhou could not stir up any trouble.
The main thing is that Ma Zhou is only a stone they threw out to test the waters.
As for what follows, naturally it’s not something that a small Ma Zhou can influence.
Besides this Ma Zhou, there are other Imperial Censors and censors waiting.
In the end, the Chief of Staff is also prepared with a petition, ready with his arguments.
At the final moment, he will certainly stand up and give the Emperor and Lin Yi a good lashing.
By then, if not making the Emperor lose face completely, at least he could get Lin Yi thrown into prison.
And that, is their ultimate goal.
After all, the Emperor is the sovereign of the world, and to bring down the Emperor is clearly an impossibility.
Therefore, their ultimate target is not the young Emperor, but the young Emperor’s newly gained left arm and right arm.
However, upon hearing Lin Yi’s words, Ma Zhou immediately straightened his back.
... End of Chapter ...
