A thousand-year-old family begins with one fighting against ten thousand.

"Your Majesty, no! May I ask what merits Zhao Lin and Zhao Qin have that have earned them the direct promotion to Grand General and Imperial Censor?!"

Almost everyone in the court jumped out, which was against the rules of the court.

A mere false accusation can lead to a promotion to one of the Three Dukes; isn't that treating the imperial court as your own private domain?

Then what are we supposed to do?

"The Zhao family uncovered a major corrupt official for the imperial court. Isn't that an achievement enough?"

Seeing that almost everyone was against him, Emperor Huang of Han's stubborn temper flared up.

"Do you have any evidence? Has this matter been investigated?"

"Then let's put the promotion aside for now. After they finish investigating this matter, if it's true, then we'll promote him to Grand General and Imperial Censor based on his merits."

Emperor Huang of Han looked at the Zhao family father and son on purpose.

They're using these two positions to keep the Zhao family in check. They've put the positions out there for you, but if you want them, then produce the evidence of the Wei family's embezzlement.

If you can't produce the necessary documents, you can forget about this position.

"I obey your decree."

The Zhao father and son said firmly.

The people investigating and the people making the judgment are both on their side, so how can they lose?

Even if the Wei family does it very secretly, so that he can't find out, it doesn't matter.

Fabricating evidence is a piece of cake.

The person who wronged you knows better than you how wronged you are.

"I impeach the Wei family for abusing their military power and plotting a rebellion!"

Just as the people in the court were preparing to argue their case, they heard this earth-shattering statement.

All eyes turned to see who dared to be so bold.

This isn't just about having the guts of a bear or a leopard; he's practically grown the guts of a bear or a leopard.

And it's not just one, there must be at least several.

To impeach the Wei family for treason—that's true courage.

The ministers looked over and a hint of surprise appeared in their eyes.

Because this person is Chunyu Chang.

Chunyu Changke is one of the core figures of the Wang family. Does his stepping forward also represent the Wang family's intentions?

Could it be that His Majesty conspired with the Wang and Zhao families, his maternal relatives?

His meaningful gaze fell upon the two most influential figures of the Wang family in the court: Wang Gen and Wang Mang.

Wang Gen and Wang Mang were so angry they wanted to eat Chunyu Chang alive; they never expected that Chunyu Chang would be assassinated.

"Lord Chun is not an imperial censor; he has no right to report matters based on hearsay. Do you have any evidence?"

"If there is no evidence, according to Han law, false accusation is a crime!"

Wang Mang quickly stepped forward to distance himself from the fool Chunyu Chang, demonstrating to the Wei family and the entire court that this was Chunyu Chang's plan alone and had nothing to do with the Wang family.

Seeing Wang Mang's anxious explanation, the ministers knew that this was Chunyu Chang acting on his own initiative.

The Wang family's joke is really hilarious.

"As Your Majesty's minister, I should naturally take Your Majesty, the court, and the Han Dynasty as my own responsibility. Even if I am not an imperial censor, if I see any malpractices, am I not allowed to speak out?"

"What are your intentions in blocking free speech?"

Chunyu Changchang quickly retorted.

This time, Emperor Huang of Han did not stop it in time. Even with Zhao Feiyan's persuasion, he still had reservations about Chunyu Chang's background.

Chunyu Chang needs to make more pledges of allegiance.

"Putting everything else aside, just take the Wei family's 3000 private soldiers. They are all fully equipped with weapons and armor, and all their military supplies are provided by the Wei family."

"This army knows only the Wei family, not His Majesty; how is this any different from treason?!"

"If the Wei family wants to prove their innocence, then hand over this army!"

Emperor Huang of Han's eyes lit up; each soldier in Wei's army was worth ten men.

The main battlefield was comparable to tens of thousands of troops.

Scattered among the main army as command nodes, they can easily mobilize an army of hundreds of thousands.

If the Wei family were to hand over this force, it would be tantamount to cutting off their own arms. By winning over military leaders, the Wei family could completely overwhelm them in terms of military strength.

Emperor Huang of Han looked anxiously at Wei Lun, hoping that he would make such a choice.

"shut up!"

"I originally thought that since you claim to be a loyal subject of His Majesty, you would surely have some profound insights to offer in court and before all the officials."

"I never expected you to utter such vulgar words!"

"I have something to say, please listen carefully."

"In the past, during the reign of Emperor Gaozu, the Han dynasty was in decline, the imperial mandate was in danger, and the Han dynasty was on the verge of collapse."

"Fortunately, the Wei family's ancestor, the Prince of Yan, emerged out of nowhere, fighting against ten thousand men single-handedly, and defeating four hundred thousand with ten thousand men, thus saving Emperor Taizu Gao from danger."

"Later, the Xiongnu raided the border many times, and the border was in grave danger. It was the King of Yan who led his troops north, sweeping across the land and ensuring the stability of the Han border."

"Emperor Taizu Gao himself said that the Prince of Yan was a key minister who protected the country, and granted him the authority to establish a system of 3000 people, which would be hereditary and perpetual."

"In the following dynasties, the Wei family repeatedly achieved military merits, and their military achievements were unparalleled."

"It's a pity that since the reigns of Emperor Zhao and Emperor Xuan, ants have held high positions, rotten wood has become officials in the imperial court, and beasts have been fed in the palace."

"As a result, treacherous and heartless people are in power, and sycophants are in charge of government."

"As a result, the nation was reduced to ruins, and the people suffered greatly!"

"At this time of national crisis, what will Lord Chun do?"

"I am well aware of Lord Chun's life story."

"You were born in Wei County and entered officialdom through the influence of your maternal relatives. You should assist the emperor and the country, and be close to the virtuous and keep away from the wicked."

"Why persecute loyal and virtuous officials, associate with treacherous ministers, and damage the foundation of the nation?!"

Wang Mang stopped to catch his breath.

"I don't!"

Chunyu Chang was a little flustered by his rambling, and could only keep saying that he didn't have it.

"shut up!"

Wang Mang's eyes widened in fury, and his voice boomed like a bell, which terrified Chunyu Chang so much that he knelt on the ground.

"Shameless old scoundrel, you bearded scoundrel!"

"You have accomplished nothing, only know how to talk big, and are utterly unambitious in your pursuit of empty fame, lacking any real commitment to serving your country!"

"Do you not know that all the people in the world would like to eat your flesh alive and drink your blood?"

"Shameless scoundrel, treacherous old villain, if you were to return to the netherworld, what face would you have to meet the emperors of the Han Dynasty and your ancestors!"

"I've never seen such a shameless person, daring to bark at me like that!"

Chunyu Chang spat out a mouthful of blood and lay motionless on the ground, but not a single official in the court came forward to check on him.

Even the Zhao family father and son didn't have it.

Such trash doesn't deserve to be their ally.

Emperor Huang of Han also felt that this person was too useless, and that after today, his reputation would be ruined and his name would be utterly tainted.

Using it would tarnish his reputation, and he would be forgotten.

However, Emperor Huang of Han did not know that these 3000 soldiers were actually established with the permission of Emperor Gaozu, who also allowed the Wei family to command troops for generations, making the Wei family the only minister with several thousand soldiers.

He was also very dissatisfied with Emperor Gaozu Liu Bang, how could he leave such a powerful minister to his descendants?!

"Your Majesty, I impeach Zhao Lin and Zhao Qin for embezzlement, bribery, and selling official positions."

Just then, the current Imperial Censor stepped forward.
