Since the news of the Yi army that he had become a relative of King Guangping, An Bao began to prepare. He knew how strong the imperial court was now, and he also knew that the war with the Yi army would go to war, and at least five vassal kings would be in charge.

Those vassal kings with the surname Zhuang would not allow the marches of the righteous to disrupt their stable life, so he knew from the beginning that even if this battle was to be fought, it would not be so easy.

Even if the ten vassal kings face each other for five, it would be a draw. At least in this regard, the marching of the righteous army was at most more powerful than before, but it was still not enough to compare with the imperial court that had survived for two hundred years.

As the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. Although Xiye Kingdom is not as good as the next generation, and even many rebels have emerged in this generation and openly rebelled, the court still has enough strength to resist.

As long as there are no external troubles, these newly emerging forces will not be enough to destroy a huge country within at least three or four years.

But who is his peace and violence? He doesn't care about the righteousness of these countries. He only knows that his chance has come.

Recruiting soldiers and horses to smelter weapons, for his Ministry of War, especially for him, it was like a mountain of gold in front of him. Seeing the mountain of gold, he would not make any sense. So although he had been informed for several days, he had been steady.

In private, he was either lobbying or bribed or gave beauty to him. In short, he pulled all the people involved onto his own pirate ship.

Although such a large-scale formation of cliques and private interests is easy to be turned against and sued, he has a backing, and half of the imperial court has the final say, so what is there to be afraid of?

An Bao thought so, and his uneasy heart became a little more stable, but there was no movement in the hall for a long time. He couldn't help but look at Xin Zhongqiao, but saw that the latter also frowned slightly.

What's going on? An Bao looked at the Minister of War. This man was the closest to him. What else did he do

Xu Zhao, the Minister of War, also knew that there was a gaze of complaint next to him, but he endured it. He was often scolded and instructed by An Bao. He had always been afraid of An Bao, but at this moment, he pretended not to know and stood up and agreed as before.

When things came to this point, An Bao knew that something was wrong, but he didn't know what was wrong with it. He could only look at Xin Zhongqiao with his eyes, but saw the latter wink at him and signaled him to retreat first.

Although An Bao was unhappy, no one supported him at the moment, and he couldn't sing a one-man show alone, so he secretly said that he would put it aside for now. After the court was over, he would definitely ask those who had taken his benefits.

But before An Bao could take his mind to retreat, someone stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to join the Minister of War An Bao."

An Bao's heart thud, and he was so shocked that he could not take back the expression on his face. He looked at the person who was talking in shock, but the censor Chen Tai. Chen Tai held a memorial in his hand and said word by word:

The Minister of War has four crimes: one is to bribe the imperial officials, two is to collect wealth and ointment from the people, four is to collude with pagans, and to blame subordinate officials."

As soon as he finished speaking, An Bao couldn't help but say angrily: "Chen Tai, you are slandering people with blood."

Chen Tai sneered and looked at him with a strong voice, "I dare to ask the Secretary, which of the above four items have wronged you. First, bribing the imperial officials, I believe that in addition to the official, there are dozens of ministers in the court who testified in this matter."

As soon as he finished speaking, someone stood up and agreed, "Return to the emperor, I am the one who can testify. The Secretary of State sent someone a few days ago to give him five hundred taels of silver, asking me to discuss his proposal to recruit soldiers and increase taxes in the court.

Everyone knows how cruel his methods were. Due to his threat, Weichen still had to collect silver in person. However, Weichen did not dare to really collect the five hundred taels of silver, so he immediately sent it to the censor."

An Bao was stunned and didn't know how to say anything. After a while, he suddenly came to his senses and smiled angrily: "Okay, okay, you two, one of you will join the fire to frame me. The emperor and the others are framed. Please observe clearly."

"I can testify."

"There is a testimony."

"The old minister can testify."

For a moment, one after another, the ministers stood up from the queue and echoed that they accepted bribes, some were money, some were treasures, and some were beauties. In short, they all had different opinions, and the court suddenly became lively.

An Bao never thought that one day he would be impeached by everyone, and he looked at him one by one and found that he had contacted him. These people turned around and turned against each other, and they actually joined forces to push themselves into the fire pit.

His voice was drowned in the accusations of the crowd. An Bao knelt on the ground in a daze. After a long time of silence, he suddenly looked at Xin Zhongqiao. He knelt forward and hugged Xin Zhongqiao's legs and cried: "Sir, you want to save me. All the things you did are for."

"Let go of your hand." Xin Zhongqiao kicked An Bao away and said angrily: "I didn't expect that you were such a human-faced and beast-hearted person. I have been poor all my life and have seen corrupt officials, but I have never seen you as bold as you.

You actually threatened more than half of the ministers in the court. An Feng, An Feng. I thought that I had recommended you to be the Minister of War at the beginning. I knew countless people, but I didn’t expect you to be deceived by you.”

He turned his head and looked at Zhuang Yan sadly and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is guilty, and the old minister is not sure about the people. He actually recommended such a scum to the court. Over the years, although I have been rectifying the style of military officers, I still have times when I cannot beware of it. The old minister begs the emperor to punish him."

The court gradually became quiet, and Xin Zhongqiao's voice seemed particularly loud. Zhuang Yan looked over and saw a dense crowd of people standing in the middle.

He finally burst into a horrifying anger, "Bold and safe and violent, I trust the Grand Marshal and I specially allow you to be the Minister of War, but you bribe the minister of the court. This crime is unforgivable and exploiting the people. This crime is a higher crime. Collusion with pagans will be a higher crime.

All your bad deeds are enough to make me subdue your nine tribes. People come to take the criminals to the heavenly prison. After the autumn, they will be punished and all their property will be included in the treasury. The female family will be demoted to slaves. All males will be granted to the frontier. The family will be settled for generations and will never be hired."

An Bao felt like five thunders thunder was buzzing, his head was buzzing, and he looked around with a dull expression, and everyone was hanging his head without any concern. Some of the people who had stabbed him behind him secretly looked at him, some were staring at his feet, and some were calm and looked at his nose and heart, but none of them showed any sympathy for him. He finally knew that he had really come to his head.

But why is this happening? Where is the problem? He doesn't even know who plotted against him. Is it the censor? But how did he convince those others to testify?

He couldn't figure it out, and his head was in chaos. Seeing that the sword-bearing guard had already stepped forward, he was anxious. Anyway, it was useless to say denied now, so he shouted: "Your Majesty, all the things done by the criminal ministers were arranged by the Grand Marshal. The Grand Marshal instigated the criminal ministers to bribe the ministers.

The Taiwei asked the Wei minister to raise the matter of recruiting troops and buying horses. The emperor, it is not worth mercy to die. However, if the Taiwei in the court is in power for one day, there will be no peace for one day. The criminal is willing to swear to heaven. Everything he says is true. Please check it out clearly.”

Xin Zhongqiao pointed at An Bao heartbrokenly: "An Bao, An Bao, I asked myself that I am not bad at treating you, but I didn't expect you to repay your kindness and revenge. You made a mistake by yourself, and it would be better if you didn't admit your mistake, but you actually wanted to push it on me to escape from the crime.

I am worthy of the emperor and the people. Even if you say that I am not afraid of you pouring dirty water, the emperor is a wise and wise ruler, and this justice also exists. I must see, this black can turn into white."
