Emperor Dong Cang tried hard to suppress his surging blood and energy.

"It has been seventeen years. It has been seventeen years since the Dongbohou Mansion incident. Back then, before I could find out the truth about the Dongbohou Mansion incident, they were destroyed by an unknown force. I am deeply saddened.

Baili Xian and I are like brothers, and I am very sad about the death of his entire family.

But the dead cannot be resurrected, so I can only order that the matter should not be mentioned again, so as not to disturb the minds of the soldiers on the border.

Today, the Duke of Xibo mentioned it, and I don’t blame you.

You are of a younger generation and don’t know the relationship between me and the Dukes of Dongbo, Xibo and Beibo.

Now, there are only two of us left, me and Sheng Beiqiu, out of the four of us. We are already in our twilight years, and I don’t know when we will be able to reunite down there.

Therefore, let’s not dwell on the past and let the deceased rest in peace.”

Cang Hantian’s old eyes were cloudy and he looked a little sad.

He took the white handkerchief handed to him by Eunuch Jiang and wiped away his non-existent tears.

He was thinking, someone please give him a way out and let him leave the court as soon as possible!

Yun Xuanzhi stepped out quietly.

Cang Hantian raised his eyes quietly. This fox finally decided to come out?

"Your Majesty is absolutely right. This case has been going on for 16 or 17 years. Even if there is some evidence, no one has ever testified. The parties involved are all dead. It will be fruitless to investigate further. I do not agree to re-examine this case."

"I second the proposal!"

Minister of Revenue Jiang Fanlin stepped out to respond.

"I also second the proposal!"

Lu Wangyun, the Minister of Rites, and Kou Boran, the Minister of the Supreme Court, followed closely behind.

Prince Ning Cangmin took an almost imperceptible deep breath, straightened his body, and straightened his back again.

No one knew how panicked he was in that moment.

He didn't care about the Dongbohou Mansion, but it seemed that the matter everyone was talking about was done by his grandfather Song Ren'an.

If it is confirmed that there was an injustice in this case sixteen or seventeen years ago, his maternal grandfather's family will definitely be affected if we trace back to the past.

Although the Song Mansion is now in decline, as he is going to inherit the throne in the future, he cannot tolerate any flaws or controversies.

The old emperor slowly suppressed the tension in his heart, slowly sat up straight, and quickly said, "Then..."

Just as he was about to say the word "retreat from court", he was interrupted by a stern and old voice.

"Your Majesty, the evidence has not yet been presented to the court. Even if it happened sixteen or seventeen years ago, it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. However, letting everyone know what the evidence in Xibo's hands is will prevent everyone from making confused guesses and causing more noise in the court. That would be bad."

The old censor Zhu Huaizhang stiffened his neck, straightened his spine and spoke.

"I second the proposal!"

Master Shang stepped out calmly.

"I second the proposal!"

"I also second the proposal!"

One after another, Guanglu Doctor Gu Huaixin, Governor Sun Zhengze, Ministry of Revenue Secretary Wang Guangzhi, Ministry of Works Secretary Liu Yuming, these people who rarely spoke in the court, all stood up. For a moment, their number exceeded the team behind Yun Xuanzhi.

Queen Canghan's teeth were chattering, and Eunuch Jiang was sweating coldly.

Dozens of His Highness' ministers instantly formed two teams.

King Shen looked at the increasing number of people on his side, and his heart was so excited that it was about to fly.

God!

His efforts and persistence are right!

There are so many ministers in the court who support him.

Prince Ning on the other side had a sullen face and had long lost the composure of a refined gentleman.

When did so many court officials side with Prince Shen? When did this happen?

On the high platform, veins in Cang Hantian’s forehead were throbbing.

When did this deposed prince accumulate so much power?

He wants to pass the throne to Min'er, and if this situation is not settled, it will definitely bring obstacles.

He looked at the two teams, one long and one short, as well as some old ministers who had not moved and were observing the situation.

Emperor Dong Cang frowned and managed to calm himself down.

"Since so many of you want to know the truth, then Prime Minister Yun, I order you to check the evidence mentioned by Xibohou after you adjourn the court session, and explain it to everyone tomorrow. I am a little tired now, so I will adjourn the court session now!"

Without giving anyone time to react, he stood up, holding the arm that Eunuch Jiang had handed to him, and turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, stay!"

General Ye, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke with an old and hard voice like a thunderclap, and Emperor Dong Cang had to stop.

"Old Commandant, why are you joining in the fun? Didn't I tell you to let Prime Minister Yun check it out and give everyone an explanation?"

"I feel that this arrangement is inappropriate. Everyone knows that Yun Xuanzhi was promoted by the old Prime Minister Song Ren'an. He has not been able to prove his innocence in the case where the old Prime Minister accused Dong Bohou Mansion of treason. It is inappropriate to let him investigate this matter."

"Yes! We don't agree!"

The hall became lively again.

"Old Marshal Ye is wrong. As the prime minister of a dynasty, I have always been impartial and have never been unfair in any way. You are worrying too much."

Yun Xuanzhi was calm and composed, looking indifferent and confident.

"Speaking of this, Prime Minister Yun really needs to avoid suspicion. You, Prime Minister, also made a great effort to obtain this evidence!"

Prince Shen Cangxun finally couldn't help but speak.

His proud tail was almost reaching the sky.

"what?"

"what!"

"what?!"

Yun Xuanzhi, Prince Ning Cangmin, and Emperor Dong Cang, who had to stand on the stage but was unwilling to sit down, all had exaggerated expressions. Even Song Liu looked at Yun Xuanzhi in confusion.

"Your Highness, Prince Shen, please do not speak carelessly. I have never seen this box before."

Yun Xuanzhi's face turned dark and he was very angry.

"My Lord Prime Minister, aren't you wondering how this box came into my hands?"

Xia Feng curled one corner of his lips, standing in the middle of the hall with the box in his hand, watching the argument among the people.

He could open the box and take out the evidence on his own, but today's situation was beyond his expectations.

He was very fortunate that so many people in the court supported the prince. This was the reason why he could watch the development of the situation even though he was the protagonist.

"I'm not late, old minister!"

Following a hoarse and deep voice, an old figure walked into the hall.

Emperor Dong Cang, who was high up, looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer in the sunlight, and he swayed and sat on the dragon throne.

Today, all parties must have come prepared, and this matter will not end well.

Everyone made way for the open space in the middle.

Beibo Hou Sheng Beiqiu walked steadily and strode to the front and stood still.

"This old minister greets Your Majesty!"

"Please stand up, old marquis. Long time no see. I heard that your health has just recovered. Why are you in such a hurry to come out?"

Emperor Dong Cang listened with concern but obviously without emotion and a somewhat impatient tone, and he almost said, "Why did you come to join in the fun?"

“I heard that there is new evidence regarding the Dongbohou Mansion incident, so I came here to listen.

Back then, we used to call each other brothers. I absolutely did not believe that Dong Bo Hou Baili Xian was collaborating with the enemy and committing treason.

But the man is gone, and I cannot speak for him.

Over the years, this old minister has been suffering from heartache. Thinking that he will soon go down to reunite with him, he must have a chance to ask him clearly so that he will know what to say when he sees him.

If he really had the intention of rebellion back then, even the old ministers would scold him for being immoral, no matter who is in heaven or on earth.

But if he was framed by evildoers, it has been almost seventeen years, and now that the evidence has come to light, there is no reason not to clear him of the charges.

Your Majesty, is this true?"

Sheng Beiqiu's old voice sounded like tears and complaints, making people feel desolate.

Cang Hantian's heart felt cold.

His face, which had been flushed just now, gradually turned pale and haggard, and his eyes became cold.
