Chapter 96: Questioning
"you……"
Some officials were so angered by Gan Luo that they fainted.
Meanwhile, some officials were criticizing Gan Luo.
"Am I wrong?"
These officials clearly appear to be united.
In reality, they were forming cliques here.
Gan Luo found it all quite amusing.
When Gan Yanling saw that the official Li had fainted, he hurriedly summoned the imperial physician to treat him.
The imperial physician was handling medicinal herbs inside the Imperial Hospital.
Unexpectedly, I was dragged to the imperial court by a eunuch.
Why would someone go to the imperial court out of the blue? Could it be that someone in the court is ill?
They then arrived at the imperial court, only to find that officials there were fainting on the ground.
Even more importantly, Gan Luo was also there.
Gan Luo was dressed in red and looked extremely arrogant and domineering.
Gan Luo remained expressionless, then turned his gaze to Gan Yanling.
At this moment, Gan Luo walked up to Official Li.
"false."
When Gan Luo uttered those two words, the other officials all wiped the sweat from their brows for Li.
For some reason, they all felt that once Official Li woke up, he would most likely be removed from his post.
After all, the officials here had just said so much about Gan Luo.
The prime minister then acted as a peacemaker.
“Your Highness, although the official here did speak with some indignation just now, this old minister still hopes that Your Highness will not take it to heart. After all, this official is still useful to the country and the people, isn’t he?”
Gan Luo glanced at the Prime Minister.
When Gan Luo looked at the Prime Minister, he naturally thought of Xu Jinxin.
This person, with a face like a beast and a heart like a beast, is truly disgusting to look at.
Xu Jinxin is Gan Luo's cousin, and this prime minister is naturally also Gan Luo's...
However, Gan Luo never regarded the prime minister as an elder.
Because this prime minister is not worthy of being an elder at all.
"If we follow the Prime Minister's suggestion, what do you think I should do? Besides, the officials here are insulting me."
"I think Your Highness could punish them slightly, just enough to make the officials here remember the punishment."
Gan Luo seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world.
If punishment is effective, then the person will not repeat the same mistake.
"Everything I have done is for the good of the country and for His Majesty."
Seeing Gan Luo's dissatisfied expression, the Prime Minister couldn't help but ask him a question.
"What are your plans, Your Highness?"
"This official, Li, is getting on in years. Why don't he just retire and go back to his hometown to enjoy his old age?"
Gan Luo played with the jade bracelet in his hand, watching them with great interest.
"I wonder what Your Majesty thinks."
“What my elder sister said makes some sense, and I had the same idea. So let’s let Official Li go home and enjoy his retirement.”
Gan Luo was somewhat satisfied with Gan Yanling's actions this time.
Gan Luo praised Gan Yanling's behavior.
The ministers were all pondering whether Gan Luo or Gan Yanling was the true emperor.
"Ah, I only want to tell you ministers what should be done and what should not be done. I believe you ministers are all intelligent people and should be able to distinguish between them."
After saying these words, Gan Luo naturally left.
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief after Gan Luo left.
Gan Yanling's forehead was also covered with fine beads of sweat, and it has to be said that Gan Luo's aura was too strong.
Even Gan Yanling, as emperor, wanted to submit to Gan Luo.
"Your Majesty just witnessed what the Princess did. Is Your Majesty truly not going to weaken the Princess's abilities now?"
How could Gan Yanling possibly actually show any intention to weaken Gan Luo's strength?
Otherwise, Gan Luo might actually suppress Gan Yanling.
"Under my elder sister's training, the Imperial Guard is extremely strong. If that's the case, then why take back the power? Besides, my elder sister is my own sister. What could she possibly do to me?"
Gan Yanling is questioning the ministers here.
The ministers felt that Gan Yanling's words made a lot of sense.
They all remained silent.
I dare not say a word.
When Official Li woke up, he knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Your humble servant is guilty."
Subsequently, Gan Yanling informed the official Li.
"Lord Li, you are of age now, and you no longer need to attend court tomorrow. You can go back home and enjoy your retirement."
Upon hearing this, the official's expression changed instantly.
He never imagined that he would be dismissed from his post after simply fainting.
"Your Majesty believes that it is still possible to..."
Before he could finish speaking, Gan Yanling had already arranged everything for the official Li.
Official Li was unaware of the situation and therefore did not know what had happened.
Official Li looked around and was surprised to find that Gan Luo was no longer there.
Since Gan Luo wasn't there, this matter has nothing to do with him.
Why would the emperor force him to retire and return to his hometown when he was perfectly healthy?
This official, Li, is clearly still vigorous despite his age and capable of serving the court.
But they ended up being sent back.
How could this be acceptable to Official Li?
Official Li was filled with mixed emotions.
She fainted from anger once again.
The surrounding officials could all sense the helplessness in Mr. Li's eyes.
But none of them could help Official Li.
Anyone who dares to help will likely end up like Official Li.
The princess's swift and decisive actions made them all feel somewhat uneasy.
"Guards, escort Official Li back to his residence."
Afterwards, Gan Yanling asked the ministers if they had anything else to report.
What should have been a perfectly good day has turned into a chaotic mess due to these various incidents.
Even though they all had things to say, they dared not say anything more because of Gan Luo's earlier threat.
"I have a petition to submit. If there is nothing else, I will leave the court."
The eunuch beside the emperor shouted loudly.
None of the officials responded.
Gan Yanling stood up and left the court.
When it was Gan Yanling's turn to walk away, the officials began to discuss.
"I never expected that this is how this official Li would end up."
Those who had previously bullied Shangguan Nantian hurriedly came to apologize to him.
After all, this official wanted to live a few more days and didn't want to die like this...
Shangguan Nantian saw these officials apologizing to him.
I was somewhat surprised for a moment.
He never imagined that one day these officials would bow down.
“Lord Shangguan, I was blind to your greatness before. I hope you will not hold it against me.”
They all apologized to each other.
Shangguan Nantian told them it was alright.
The Prime Minister has stepped forward again.
"We are all working for His Majesty and for the country. From now on, we must work together and never form cliques."
