Marriage of Di daughter

Chapter 128

The word "slow" made the heart of the king sink.Although he was not afraid of Emperor Hong Xia in his heart, he could not refute Emperor Hong Xia's views in front of the civil and military officials. Obviously, Emperor Hong Xia had clearly leaned towards Jiang Li. Although he knew that Emperor Hong Xia intended to use the Xue family case to involve Princess Yongning, Jiang Li's argument was indeed convincing at the moment.Reason and emotion, to exonerate Xue Huaiyuan, reason alone was not enough, emotion had to be added. Jiang Li used such an irresistible method to gradually cleanse the injustice on Xue Huaiyuan step by step.The ministers who understood the situation looked at Jiang Li with strange eyes. This court discussion was truly breathtaking.Jiang Yuanbai stared at his daughter as if he did not recognize her. He knew that Jiang Li was clever, perhaps the cleverest among the younger generation of the Jiang family. But the court methods used by Jiang Li were too much in his opinion, and he even suspected in his heart whether there was someone behind Jiang Li's actions today. Otherwise, it would be impossible for a young lady from the family to have such political skills.Others would not think that this was Jiang Li's idea but would attribute it to Jiang Yuanbai. They would believe that Jiang Yuanbai had instructed Jiang Li to speak in such a manner in the court, further deepening their understanding of Jiang Yuanbai's strategic maneuvers, considering him a truly cunning and crafty person."Continue," Emperor Hong Xia said to Jiang Li.Jiang Li bowed, her voice clear and crisp, saying, "My lord, the words I wanted to say have been said. Xue Huaiyuan, the county magistrate of Tongxiang, is guilty. He has been in office for several decades, apart from embezzling disaster relief funds, he has been modest, retiring, and dedicated to his duties. In my opinion, Xue Huaiyuan's crimes are unforgivable. I implore Your Majesty to punish Xue Huaiyuan severely!"Minister Li Zhongnan closed his eyes, knowing that with Jiang Li's words, Xue Huaiyuan's guilt was completely cleansed.Speaking in reverse, speaking in reverse, Jiang Li's eloquence in speaking in reverse was unparalleled, leaving no room for rebuttal.Silence filled the court for a long time.After a while, Emperor Hong Xia's voice rang out, saying, "In that case, Xue Huaiyuan is not guilty, but rather commendable. For a minister who has rendered service five times, the guilt is deepened, and there may be injustice. Regarding the case of Feng Yutang, where there is no doubt of his guilt, while Xue Huaiyuan's corruption is highly suspicious, Zhou Dezhao, I want you to thoroughly investigate this case again!"As the last word fell, Jiang Li's heart seemed to be gradually boiling as if drenched with hot water.However, she just bowed down again and said, "I respectfully request that the County Magistrate of Tongxiang, Xue Huaiyuan, be brought to the court. Xue Huaiyuan is also a witness. Your Majesty might as well take a look at the current appearance of County Magistrate Xue.""Bring Xue Huaiyuan," Emperor Hong Xia said.Zhou Dezhao hurriedly had someone bring Xue Huaiyuan up, unable to help but glance at Jiang Li again. What started as a situation where the King and the Prime Minister were in control, had now been led by Jiang Li from start to finish. Regardless of whether this method was devised by Jiang Li or by Jiang Yuanbai, the Jiang family could not be underestimated. It was thought that the influence of the Jiang family was gradually weakening in the court, especially as the Prime Minister's power was growing. However, now it seemed that the Jiang family was not to be underestimated, not only in terms of power but also in terms of political acumen.
