Newlyweds divorced: Marry a scumbag and his brother is sweet and have a baby

The fold hit Shen Jianzhang on the forehead, and he felt a sharp pain. Then his forehead felt hot, and a drop of blood fell to the ground.

Ignoring the pain, he quickly picked up the folded book that fell on the ground with both hands. His eyes fell on the contents of the folded book, and his face turned pale.

The above is about impeaching him for selling private salt and making huge profits from it.

"Shen Jianzhang, you abused your power and broke the law knowingly. You knew that salt was the foundation of the people and was controlled by the court, but for your own benefit, you unconscionably earned the people's hard-earned money. Do you know your crime?" Emperor Xuande asked sternly.

"Your Majesty, spare my life. I am wronged. Someone must have framed me. Please investigate and give me justice." Shen Jianzhang kowtowed hard.

"Chen Fugui, show him the evidence!" Emperor Xuande ordered.

Eunuch Chen picked up the incriminating evidence on the royal table and placed it in front of Shen Jianzhang, "Master Shen, please take a good look at it."

Shen Jianzhang lay on the ground, holding the evidence with trembling hands. He only looked at part of the evidence, and his whole body suddenly collapsed to the ground.

"Shen Jianzhang, do you know your crime?" Emperor Xuande asked.

Eunuch Chen took away the evidence and placed it on the royal table again.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life. I know I was wrong. Please forgive me for the sake of my loyalty to you." Shen Jianzhang knew that the evidence was conclusive and he could no longer quibble.

"Shen Jianzhang, I thought you were born in poverty and could understand the hardships of the common people. I didn't expect that you had forgotten your roots a long time ago. If I forgive you, how can I face the people of the world?" Emperor Xuande's eyes were full of disappointment.

He once had high hopes for Shen Jianzhang, hoping that the prime minister from a poor background could understand the suffering of the world and sincerely work for the welfare of the people.

Shen Jianzhang was speechless.

"From now on, Prime Minister Shen Jianzhang will be dismissed from his post and thrown into a prison where he will be punished!" Emperor Xuande ordered.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, I have something to say." Shen Jianzhang became anxious, "I did not do this privately buying and selling salt. The offending minister also acted under orders. Everything was done under the orders of the Empress Dowager."

"Shen Jianzhang, when death is imminent, you still try to frame the Queen Mother? You really deserve death!" Emperor Xuande said coldly.

"Your Majesty, I didn't lie. I have evidence." Shen Jianzhang felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. As long as he reported on the Queen Mother, he would be deemed to have meritorious service and be given a lighter sentence.

"That's nonsense! How could the Queen Mother instruct you to do such a thing? Stop talking nonsense! Come here, Shen Jianzhang has framed the Queen Mother, drag him down and give him a fifty-fifty cane!"

Xie Huaijing has collected all the evidence, and Emperor Xuande certainly knows that the person behind the scenes is the Queen Mother.

Moreover, the reason why he attacked Shen Jianzhang was because his real target was also the Queen Mother.

But in the name of the Queen Mother's support of him, the Queen Mother could not be moved based on this crime, and the most she could do was ground him.

To shake the Queen Mother's tangled old tree, one must first cut off her thick branches and then uproot her.

And Shen Jianzhang is one of the thick branches. He has made a lot of money for the Queen Mother over the years.

As Emperor Xuande's voice fell, two guards immediately stepped forward to hold Shen Jianzhang up and left.

"Your Majesty, spare your life, Your Majesty..." No matter how Shen Jianzhang begged for mercy or screamed, it was of no avail. The evidence of his crime was irrefutable and the facts of the crime had been established.

Listening to Shen Jianzhang's distant voice, the courtiers were a little confused about Emperor Xuande's intentions.

Emperor Xuande valued Shen Yan so highly, wouldn't this severe punishment of Shen Jianzhang affect Shen Yan's reputation?

With a father like Shen Jianzhang, how will Shen Yan gain a foothold in the world in the future? How can what she does convince the world?

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Yan Zhong said kindly.

"Say."

"Shen Jianzhang has been convicted of selling illegal salt. The weight of selling illegal salt has reached the quota that can be beheaded. Please follow the law and execute the whole family of the Prime Minister's Mansion. This will serve as a warning to others that they will never dare to sell illegal salt again." Yan Chonghou finished. He even knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please kill everyone in the Prime Minister's house! To set an example!" Ning Zhengxun also knelt down.

"Please, Your Majesty, kill everyone in the Prime Minister's mansion!"

"Please, Your Majesty..."

……

The calls for orders rang out again and again, and when the sounds stopped, more than half of the courtiers in the palace fell to their knees.

Emperor Xuande didn't speak, he just listened and watched silently.

The purpose of these people's request to kill everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion was simply to kill Shen Yan.

They thought that if the ministers came to remonstrate with him and Emperor Xuande had no other choice, then Shen Yan would definitely die.

As everyone knows, Emperor Xuande wants to take this opportunity to see how many people's interests Shen Yan has touched, and these people are most likely to be worms in the court.

"Has it all been said?" Emperor Xuande asked calmly.

"Your Majesty, please think twice." Yan Chonghou emphasized his tone, "If Your Majesty doesn't kill everyone in the Prime Minister's Palace today, someone will imitate him and commit crimes in the future. If so, the world will be in chaos!"

"Yan Chonghou, are you teaching me how to do things?" Emperor Xuande's face suddenly turned cold.

"I don't dare." Although Yan Chonghou said this, he raised his face with an arrogant expression, obviously unconvinced.

"If the Qin Dynasty is so prone to chaos, there is no need for you to sit in the position of Minister of War."

Emperor Xuande had long anticipated today's situation. To bring down the Queen Mother, Shen Jianzhang must be killed first, because Shen Jianzhang was the person responsible for providing financial resources to the Queen Mother.

If this happens, Shen Yan will definitely be implicated, and what he has to do is to protect Shen Yan.

No matter how hard the court officials tried to remonstrate, he would protect Shen Yan and prevent her from being harmed.

"Yan Chonghou, if you feel that you are not capable of sitting in the position of Minister of War, you can resign now, and I will agree immediately."

Yan Chonghou's face was very ugly. He did not expect that Emperor Xuande would protect Shen Yan.

He was riding a tiger and couldn't get off, so he had to admit his mistake, "I was just confused for a moment and talked nonsense. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Emperor Xuande did not reply to Yan Chonghou's words, but looked at the others, "Who else is dissatisfied? Those who think they are not qualified for their current official positions should all stand up and resign."

There was silence in the hall, no one wanted to lose their bright future.

"Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. What you want is Shen Yan's life. Shen Yan has been away from the capital before. Shen Jianzhang has always ignored her. She knows nothing about Shen Jianzhang's crimes."

Emperor Xuande said, "Besides, she saved the lives of Concubine Rong and her son before. She should not be implicated in terms of emotion, reason, and law."

Everyone knew that Emperor Xuande had made up his mind, so they stopped talking to avoid getting into trouble.

At this moment, a voice sounded outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Miss Shen wants to see you."
