Chapter 909

A single sentence shocks all the ministers in the hall! 【1】

"Your Majesty..."

Although he was unwilling in his heart, Yuan Kui could only rise from his position according to Liu Hong's wishes, then come to the hall and bow to Liu Hong.

"Although the General of the Guards has merits, the crime of murder cannot go unpunished, and Wei Ban was a court official."

Yuan Kui bit the bullet and said: "So this old minister suggests severe punishment."

Grand Marshal Yang Ci also stood out: "Your Majesty, this old minister seconds the motion."

"This..."

Liu Hong, sitting on the dragon throne, pretended to be in a difficult position.

But even a fool could see that Liu Hong was deliberately doing this for Duan Yu to see.

However, not all the ministers in this hall were smart people.

Before Liu Hong finished speaking.

General-in-Chief He Jin was the first to stand out.

"Minister Yuan, Grand Marshal Yang!"

He Jin walked out of his position with an upright face and looked at the two.

Having just received a huge bribe from Duan Yu outside the Sima Gate, He Jin felt that if he didn't stand out and say a few words, how could he be embarrassed to take the share of Duan Yu's white paper and snow salt?

And so.

He Jin stood out.

"Minister Yuan, Grand Marshal Yang, what you said is a bit wrong."

He Jin said righteously: "Although Duan Yu was wrong, he was not wrong first."

"That Wei Ban used his position to seek personal gain and retaliate against Dong Zhuo, which is why he brought about his own death!"

"Duan Yu is suppressing rebellions for the Imperial Court at the front, fighting bloody battles on the battlefield, yet his family and relatives have to be humiliated?"

"Where in the world is there such a principle? Wouldn't doing this chill Duan Yu's heart?"

"Your Majesty, if you ask me, although Duan Yu was wrong, it is not enough to punish him severely!"

"Right!"

In the end, He Jin even cheered himself on.

Yuan Kui and Yang Ci both rolled their eyes at He Jin.

That look was as if they were looking at a fool.

Perhaps He Jin was the only one in the hall who didn't see that the Emperor was looking for someone to act as the villain.

Now it's not your turn, He Jin, to come out and sell favors.

What you said are the Emperor's lines.

At this time, only a fool like you would come out and steal the Emperor's lines.

Sure enough, Liu Hong, sitting on the dragon throne, didn't look very good after hearing He Jin's words.

"That..." Liu Hong frowned and glanced at He Jin, then waved his hand in annoyance: "General-in-Chief, you step back first; I have my own plans."

He Jin turned back and gave Duan Yu a look of asking for credit.

Duan Yu helplessly twitched the corners of his mouth.

This He Jin is really quite cute.

Liu Hong's gaze swept across the many court officials again.

Knowing that Liu Hong was looking for someone to act as the villain again, almost the moment Liu Hong swept his gaze, everyone lowered their heads.

However, there are always those who don't react in time.

It was the Commandant of the Capital, Marquis of Buqi, Fu Wan, who stood behind Duan Yu and outside the crowd.

When Fu Wan felt Liu Hong's gaze fall on him.

His heart suddenly skipped a beat.

It's over!

Fu Wan was shocked!

Impeaching Duan Yu today was already taking a huge risk; he couldn't really offend Duan Yu to death at this time.

With such a big thing, the Emperor didn't order Duan Yu's arrest last night, so he definitely didn't intend to handle it severely.

Coming out to impeach Duan Yu today was also a matter of biting the bullet; there was no other way.

Seeing that Duan Yu was now admitting his mistakes and handing over money and grain, he had already made the Emperor happy.

Duan Yu was guaranteed to be fine.

Just as Fu Wan was preparing to quietly return to the crowd.

Liu Hong called out to stop Fu Wan.

In an instant, Fu Wan's face looked as ugly as if his father had died.

"Commandant of the Capital, since you impeached Duan Yu, tell me, how do you suggest punishing Duan Yu?" Liu Hong looked at Fu Wan and said: "After all, you are the Commandant of the Capital, and you are responsible for the security of Luoyang."
