Empress Dowager Yang's words woke Chen Yizhong up like a heavy hammer. He thought he could get the support of the empress dowager with his past support, but he forgot that he had abandoned them at the most difficult time, so that his biological son died of illness on the road to escape, which could be said to have killed him indirectly. The little emperor was different. Although they were not biological mothers and sons, they supported each other through the most difficult time together, and this emotion was beyond his ability to compare with.

In addition, Chen Yizhong never thought that women were the most revenge, especially when you hurt them when they were most helpless, they would hate you for the rest of their lives and hate them to the core. The little emperor took on the burden of saving the Song Dynasty with his tender shoulders, not only saved the Xing Dynasty, but also revived the Song Dynasty and returned to Lin'an City. Moreover, it is well known that the little emperor's filial piety was well known. Under such circumstances, Empress Dowager Yang's choice was very simple. Even if he did these illegal things, he would work hard to defend it and would never choose a minister who had betrayed the court many times.

Seeing Empress Dowager Yang's face full of anger and the sarcastic gazes of his former colleagues around him, Chen Yizhong felt cold in his palms and wanted to escape from the court where he had dreamed of returning. But he knew that he had no way out and there might be a chance to go further, but retreating would be a dead end, so he could only move forward, even though he knew it was a dead end.

"Mr. Chen, do you have any objections to what the Empress Dowager said?" Wen Tianxiang saw Chen Yizhong's face change several times and his lips were dry. He felt a little panicked and asked with a chuckling.

"Empress Dowager Yuyan, how dare the Caomin refute!" Chen Yizhong was also a long-standing old fried dough stick. After all, he understood his situation. Not only did he not feel a desire to retreat, but he calmed down and straightened his body and tidied his clothes to bow to Wen Tianxiang.

"Okay!" Wen Tianxiang saw that he had no intention of turning back, so he turned to the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, please continue to argue."

"You say that after I ascended the throne, I expelled the old ministers of the dynasty and appointed a confidant. You can see how many old ministers of the dynasty there are in this palace, or you can go around the place, how many of them are in the throne, and how many of them are in charge of the priest. Where does the fault of appointing a confidant and attacking the old ministers come from?" Zhao Bing pointed at the civil and military officials in the court and asked, "Dear ministers, who have you ever been an official in the dynasty?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I have served as the left prime minister in the court!" Lu Xiufu said first.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have served as the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor in the court!" Zhang Shijie followed him and said.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have served as the Minister of Rites in the court!" Xu Zongren said in a list.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have served as the Minister of Personnel in the court!" Chen Zhongwei and Xu Zongren stood side by side.

"Report to Your Majesty, I have served as the deputy minister of the court!" Liu Fu glanced at Chen Yizhong and said.

"Report to Your Majesty..." As Zhao Bing asked, the officials in the hall came out to report themselves, and the reports continued.

Today, in order to welcome the Empress Dowager to return to the capital, all the fifth-rank and above officials in Beijing attended the court meeting today. Hundreds of civil and military officials were in the hall and had to squat on the porch for dinner. With the question from the little emperor, more than 60% of those who stood up, and the remaining few were old people from the General Manager's Mansion, most of them were officials recruited in Qiongzhou and famous scholars from Jiangnan who came to join the sea.

"Report to Your Majesty, I am Wen Tianxiang, who was appointed as the right prime minister of the court!" Seeing that no one came out again, Wen Tianxiang bowed to the little emperor and said loudly.

"What else do you have to say?" Zhao Bing asked Chen Yizhong with a smile.

"Even so, it is difficult to hide the suspicion of taking over power, disrupting national affairs, and cracking down on colleagues!" It is said that one emperor and another minister were the case. Looking at the scene in front of him, Chen Yizhong's mouth twitched. He never expected that such a situation would be. Even the small and small pavilions and clerks such as the former court had already stood in the court, but as it was so, he still did not give up on resistance. He still did not believe that the little emperor would absolutely trust these old people, shouting in the court, hoping to resonate with the evil.

"Mr. Chen, you went to Chameng City and never returned. Emperor Jingyan passed away and Your Majesty succeeded to the throne. My thoughts were transferred to Yashan. Your Majesty was in a state of destruction. When the court was destroyed, he commanded the entire army to narrowly defeat Zhang Hongfan. He had no place to live in Jiangnan, so he moved to Qiongzhou. At that time, nearly 10,000 officials, and more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians poured into Qiongzhou. How could so many officials be used in a small place? People were panicked at that time. But Your Majesty said that those who came to Qiongzhou were loyal and righteous people, and they would be loyal officials of the country in the future, so no one was cut and properly placed. After the restoration of Jiangnan, many people became officials of the same place and boundaries." Seeing his appearance, Zhang Shijie stepped forward to refute without waiting for the little emperor to speak.

"Shishou said it is right. When the ministers of Qiongzhou were in panic, even I was the same. But I have been there for ten years. Thanks to Your Majesty, I still hold the position of Shangshu. The palace is bustling with officials. What is the intention of Duke Chen assassinating and slandering Your Majesty?" Chen Zhongwei pointed at Chen Yizhong.

"You all talked about money to protect it, but it was still difficult to cover up his courageous and bloody killing, killing and surrendering, and embezzling money!" Chen Yizhong knew that he had miscalculated again when he saw this scene. The argument on this would only be even more embarrassing, so he immediately changed the subject and said loudly.

"Haha, I am so brave, and I am not bad for my love for money, but where do you start with bloodthirsty and embezzlement?" Zhao Bing waved his hand and asked his ministers with a smile.

"On the day when Quanzhou was captured, Your Majesty killed all the Pu family and tortured them. All the confiscated property was returned to the inner palace, and they were allowed to squander and killed the captured enemy troops in front of the formation. Is that a fact?" Chen Yizhong said passionately.

"I'm basically right, but why did I kill the Pu clan? Do you know why?" Zhao Bing nodded, but suddenly slapped the handrail and shouted loudly.

"I... don't know!" Chen Yizhong didn't expect that the little emperor would be angry, be intimidated by him, and stuttered.

"Okay, then I will remind you!" Zhao Bing stood up and sneered, "In the first year of Jingyan, when he was in Quanzhou, Pu Shougen refused to open the city gate to welcome the carriage, and massacred all the more than 10,000 scholars in the city, and no more than 3,000 royal family members survived. He colluded with the Mongolian Yuan to attack the sage, and fought bloody battles between the various troops and the royal army. If the Queen Mother and I were not brave enough to fight to save the chariot in Quanzhou, they would have almost died. The escape road was covered with the bodies of the Song Dynasty officers and soldiers and the people. As the head of the court that day, can you cover it up just by not knowing the word "two?"

"This..." Faced with the little emperor's questioning, Chen Yizhong's lips trembled for a long time, and he couldn't say a word to defend himself.

"After I conquered Quanzhou, I will kill all the Pu family at Nanzong Temple. I just want to use their heads to pay tribute to the tens of thousands of heroes in Quanzhou's bloody night. Is it wrong?" Zhao Bing shouted loudly to the ministers and the onlookers.

"The Pu family is behind the country and slaughtering the clan's sons. It should be killed and killed!"

"Blood debts and blood are paid, and you can kill them well..."

"Did you hear this? This is the public opinion, and it can't be changed in just a few words!" Zhao Bing sneered at Chen Yizhong, "It's good to kill and surrender. At that time, Sodu had not been able to attack the city for a long time, so he drove the people to attack the city and killed them to fill the trenches. I issued an order to take the Mongols captured in the city to the front and inform Sodu that they would kill one of my people and ten Mongolians. If this is what you call bloodthirsty killing, I will kill them one by one even if I was punished by heaven!"

"Your Majesty is mighty..."

"Long live your Majesty, long live..."

"Kill all the Tartars and restore my Song Dynasty!" The audience cheered again.

"As for whether I embezzle property, there are officials in the palace who are in charge. You can ask them as much as possible!" Zhao Bing said again.

"When the Quanzhou treasury was confiscated, everyone in the inner palace was deceiving his hands, and all the treasures in the Pu family treasury were presented to the Empress Dowager. In addition to rewarding merits, Your Majesty only took the books in his palace, and the rest were all dispatched by the court. All of this can be found." Zhao Qiao, the Minister of War at that time, came out and said.

"It is even more ridiculous that Your Majesty spends too much. Your Majesty still spends only the chief expenses. The furniture used in the Eastern Palace is all old things collected from Guangzhou and Pu Mansion. The Empress Dowager is also extremely frugal. The curtains used in the palace have not been replaced for many years, and Qiongzhou knows all these things. If this is considered to be extravagant, I am afraid there will be no honest officials in the world." Wang De stepped forward and sneered.

"If Mr. Chen thinks it is not trustworthy, he can ask others again!" Wen Tianxiang turned to Chen Yi again and said.

"You monarch and ministers are in a mess, what's the use of me asking again?" Chen Yizhong was frustrated repeatedly, unable to calm down, and said without hesitation.

"Mr. Chen, pay attention to your words, otherwise you will be guilty of being a false statement!" Lu Xiufu frowned and said unceremoniously.

"Okay, okay, since I have said it before, it's all because of my mistakes. After recovering Jiangnan, I will persecute old officials and killing gentry!" Chen Yizhong shouted twice, and then asked loudly.

"Mr. Chen, don't be polite, please come up with evidence!" Lu Xiufu came forward and warned.

"Prime Minister Lu, I have proved that I dare to confront you in court!" Chen Yizhong said without giving in at all.

"Xuan and the others went to the palace to confront each other!" Zhao Bing waved his hand and pointed at Wang Dedao.

"Caomin, please kowtow to the Empress Dowager, Your Majesty!" Chen Yizhong pointed out several names and was taken to the imperial front for a while. Several people quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"Plain your body, you and others claim to be persecuted by the court. Let's talk about it!" Zhao Bing asked them to get up and said.

"..." But a few people looked around and no one dared to say anything.

"Who is you, what position you have ever held, and who is your person?" Seeing that several people were silent, Zhao Bing pointed at one of them and asked.

"Report to Your Majesty, the villain Guo Chengshan, a native of Zhejiang, was once the governor of Zhaoqing Prefecture, Xinzhou." The man politely said.

"Your Majesty, can you ask me?" Deng Wenyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, came out and said.

"Accurate!" Zhao Bing nodded.

"In the second year of Guo Chengshan and Jingyan, the enemy army opened the city and surrendered before they resisted. They accepted the pseudo-position and still knew that Xinzhou would serve the enemy. They hunted and killed the righteous men against Meng many times, and many of them were victimized by a hundred people. In the fifth year of Xiangxing, the enemy rectified the officials in Jiangnan and were dismissed from their posts and returned home for embezzling public funds. After our dynasty recovered Jiangnan, he knew that he had committed serious crimes and was wanted by the court!" Deng Wenyuan Bo heard the strong record that he did not have to go over the case file, but only knew his name and explained his crimes clearly.

"The villain opened the city to surrender for the sake of the people. As for the hunting and killing of the righteous men against Meng, it was done by the Tatars, and it has nothing to do with me!" After hearing this, Guo Chengshan immediately knelt on the ground and apologized first.

"Hmph, local officials are all trying to find out the facts, witnesses and testimony are there, can we confront each other one by one?" Deng Wenyuan snorted coldly.

"Little man..."

"Who is your surname? Who has your official position?" Seeing that Guo Chengshan could no longer speak, he pointed to the next person.

"The villain Zhang Xisheng was once the observer of Yulinzhou, Guangnan West Road. He was defiled by local officials as a collusion enemy. He also asked Shangguan to make the decision!" The man bowed and bowed.

"Zhang Xisheng, in August of the first year of Jingyan, Ali Hague led his troops south to attack Yulinzhou. You were afraid of the enemy and did not fight. You will also preside over the killing of the prefect who defended the city and surrendered the enemy. He then served as the garrison of Yulinzhou, and led troops to clear the anti-Mongolian rebels many times. The Mongolian Yuan adjusted the troops stationed in various places and you went home. When the army conquered Yulinzhou, you led your servants to resist arrest, kill and injured many officers and soldiers, and then fled to a foreign land. Is it true?" Deng Wenyuan pointed at him and said.

"Shajia is fighting with you...Oh!"

"Why is your wild place in the court? You are tied up!" Zhang Xisheng was exposed and tried to pounce, but Ni Liang kicked to the ground and stepped onto the other side. One guard came forward and tied him up and threw him aside.

"If you report your names, if you have any grievances, you will have your own authority to decide for you!" Deng Wenyuan pointed to the remaining few people.

"Your Majesty, please spare me. I know I'm wrong. This is what Mr. Chen forced us to come. He said that as long as he listens to him, he will not only be exempted from punishment in the future, but also be able to become an official again." Seeing that the two people in front of him were only given their names and their past crimes were revealed, they dared not take it as a lucky person and kowtowed.

"It's clear that you deceived me and were chaotic and biting me. It's really damn!" Chen Yizhong wanted to make up the situation through the accusations of these people, but he didn't expect it to be the situation and said furiously.

"I'll say the remaining charges. Please ask all the ministers and the people to judge right and wrong!" Zhao Bing stood up and said, "He said that I was stubborn and self-righteous, and moved troops to disturb my ancestors in the tombs of the late emperors. At that time, I had to report that Yang Lianzhenjia, a demon monk from the Western Regions who led the Jiangnan religion in the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, robbed the imperial tombs. This was a great humiliation from the great Song Dynasty. If I sat down and watched how the ancestral tombs were dug to the ancestors, I sent troops in anger, killed more than a hundred evil monks from Yang Lianzhenjia, and rebuilt the destroyed tombs of the late emperors. I would like to ask Mr. Chen, if the ancestral tombs of the Chen family was dug, would you ignore them because you were worried about disturbing your ancestors?"

"I can't!" Although this question is tricky, Chen Yizhong cannot help but answer, but he also shows that he is making a random crime.

"I ask you again, you, the two ministers of Yao and Wei colluded with the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty. In order to reach a peace agreement, they fabricated various charges and slandered me and instructed others to recognize their relatives. What should they do if they should be punished!" Zhao Bing pointed at Chen Yizhong and shouted.
