Looking at Du Guangsheng being targeted, Jiang Chen felt a burst of joy in his heart.

Threaten me?

Then let you taste the feeling of being attacked!

After no other ministers spoke, Jiang Chen finally opened his mouth, a look of hesitation on his face.

"Minister Du, seeing so many ministers objecting, I can't very well reward you any further."

"But I believe that with Minister Du's talent, he will surely make contributions in the future. At that time, I will return these lands to you."

After speaking, Jiang Chen signaled Feng Jin to bring the things up.

Du Guangsheng almost vomited blood when he heard this.

Not only was he the target of attacks, but he didn't even get any benefits in the end!

It wasn't enough to describe it as lifting a rock only to drop it on one's own foot.

This was clearly lifting a rock and smashing it on one's own head!

Du Guangsheng was depressed to death, but the ministers felt very relieved.

They had ruined Du Guangsheng's reward.

But when they heard Jiang Chen's words, they immediately became angry again.

What?

His Majesty still wants to find an opportunity to reward Du Guangsheng?

Absolutely not!

A voice suddenly rang out: "This humble servant, Zhao Liting, Vice Minister of Revenue, impeaches Du Guangsheng, Minister of Revenue!"

The court was silent, and everyone looked at Zhao Liting in disbelief.

Is this guy crazy?

He's actually impeaching his superior!

Du Guangsheng stared blankly at Zhao Liting: "Zhao Liting, do you know what you're saying?"

Zhao Liting didn't even look at Du Guangsheng, and said loudly, "Your Majesty, this humble servant has evidence!"

Du Guangsheng's face instantly turned extremely pale.

Zhao Liting was promoted by him. Over the years, he had trusted Zhao Liting very much, and many things were handed over to Zhao Liting.

To put it bluntly, he might not know how many bad things he had done, but Zhao Liting definitely knew.

Jiang Chen was also a little surprised.

He originally just wanted to use this matter to divide the ministers.

But he didn't expect to unearth such a shocking scandal!

"Is there such a thing?"

Jiang Chen perked up and said, "Feng Jin, go with Minister Zhao to retrieve the evidence."

Watching Feng Jin and Zhao Liting leave, the court was silent.

All the ministers were shocked by the sudden turn of events.

Du Guangsheng was the first to regain his senses, and quickly knelt down, saying, "Your Majesty, this humble servant is loyal to Your Majesty and has never done anything wrong! This is all Zhao Liting's slander."

"Your Majesty, his so-called evidence is all fabricated and purely slanderous!"

Du Guangsheng remembered, his face flushed red.

Many of the things he had done, once revealed, would be capital crimes!

They must not be exposed!

Jiang Chen put on a troubled look, saying, "Minister Du, I saw how loyal you were yesterday, and I trust you.

"But since Minister Zhao says he has evidence, let's take a look first."

Saying that, Jiang Chen showed a gentle smile: "Minister Du, don't worry, the innocent are innocent, and the guilty are guilty. I will definitely give you justice!"

Du Guangsheng's face immediately lost all color, and his whole body trembled.

Thinking of the things he had done, Du Guangsheng trembled more and more violently.

Time passed by, and Du Guangsheng felt as if he was in a frying pan, extremely uncomfortable.

"Why haven't they returned yet?"

Jiang Chen looked outside the hall at this time.

Du Guangsheng finally couldn't control himself and broke down.

"Your Majesty, this humble servant is innocent!"

After saying that, in everyone's horrified gaze, Du Guangsheng rushed straight towards the pillar beside him.

Bang!

A splash of blood spurted out, and Du Guangsheng fell straight to the ground.

"Lord Du!"

"Call the imperial physician!"

The ministers were shocked and rushed to help Du Guangsheng up.

The imperial physician arrived quickly, shook his head after examining him.

"Your Majesty, Lord Du is already dead!"

Many ministers felt both regret and a secret relief.

Many of the things Du Guangsheng had done were related to them.

If Du Guangsheng was alive, who knows how many people he would implicate.

Good riddance, good riddance!

For a moment, the ministers in the hall not only did not feel sad for the death of a colleague, but the atmosphere became relaxed instead.

Jiang Chen saw this scene and shook his head secretly in his heart.

This group of ministers is truly rotten to the core.

At this time, Feng Jin's voice came from outside.

"Your Majesty, the evidence has been retrieved."

Feng Jin and Zhao Liting came in and were surprised not to see Du Guangsheng.

"Lord Du, in order to prove his innocence, has committed suicide by crashing into a pillar."

Jiang Chen said with a regretful tone: "Minister Zhao, the deceased is gone, so let's not pursue the matter any further."

As soon as Jiang Chen said this, many people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

Not pursuing it, that's great!

"Let's end here today, I'm tired."

After speaking, Jiang Chen got up and left.

After leaving Qianqing Palace, Jiang Chen swept away his previous sad expression and even hummed a little tune as he returned to Qin Zheng Palace.

"Your Majesty, this subordinate has discovered that many ministers seem to be involved with Du Guangsheng. Why doesn't Your Majesty investigate further?" Jing Yue asked suddenly.

"Of course, I will investigate, but not now."

Jiang Chen said lightly: "If I really want to investigate, I'm afraid that except for Grand Tutor Yuan and a few others, everyone will be taken down. By then, who will work for me?"

"Your Majesty can promote new ministers..." Jing Yue hesitated.

Jiang Chen asked rhetorically: "Jing Yue, can you guarantee that the newly promoted ministers will all be incorruptible?"

"This..." Jing Yue couldn't answer.

"Rather than hastily promoting ministers who haven't been tested, it's better to let this group of frightened birds work for me first."

Jiang Chen sneered: "If they are honest, then so be it. If they dare to commit another crime, I will naturally not be polite!"

Outside the palace, the ministers walked out one after another.

It's just that the atmosphere was different from usual. The ministers either kept their mouths shut or spoke in low voices.

The remaining five ministers of the six departments got into their sedan chairs and gathered at the home of Yang Yongqi, Minister of Rites.

After dismissing the servants, Yang Yongqi said, "Everyone, who is your choice for the new Minister of Revenue?"

Han Kanglin, Minister of War, said: "I don't support Zhao Liting first."

"This person's actions are too despicable, I absolutely don't support him!"

The other three ministers nodded repeatedly.

On this issue, they had no disagreement.

"Then what about Tian Youli, another Vice Minister of Revenue?" Wei Zhengli, Minister of Works, said.

Yang Yongqi shook his head repeatedly: "This person has always been unknown and cannot take on a major responsibility."

Then he mentioned a few more names, but they were all rejected one by one.

Mo Lan, Minister of Justice, suddenly said, "The choice of Minister of Revenue must be decided by His Majesty. We only have the right to make suggestions at most."

Yang Yongqi agreed: "Lord Mo is right. But in any case, this candidate must be one of us. We must not let this position fall into the hands of others!"

"Okay, then let's list a few candidates and let His Majesty choose!"

That evening, a list was placed on Jiang Chen's desk.

Jiang Chen picked it up and threw it on the ground after only looking at it once.

"Let Grand Tutor Yuan come to see me!"
