Chapter 128: Impeachment
Within the palace.
A number of ministers gathered outside the main hall, and they all knelt there.
Jiang Yu saw so many people kneeling here.
The river fish were naturally quite surprised at this moment.
"Eunuch Jiang, please go in and tell His Majesty that we have something to say to him."
But Gan Yanling is taking a nap right now. If we go in and disturb him, what if we anger the emperor?
"I'm sorry, officials, His Majesty is taking a nap. If I were to enter at this time, it would inevitably displease him."
The officials, upon hearing this, also felt that Jiang Yu's words made sense.
Ultimately, they decided to wait outside for Gan Yanling to awaken.
They only wanted to tell Gan Yanling one thing: they were going to punish Gan Luo.
After all, Gan Luo is wreaking havoc on the country and the nation. If Gan Luo is not punished, he will probably become even more arrogant.
All they did was to restore peace and stability to the country.
It's midday now, so the sun is naturally quite large.
The officials had beads of sweat on their foreheads and their mouths were dry.
Seeing the officials' unwavering commitment, Jiang Yu couldn't help but feel a touch of admiration for them at that moment.
After all, I really didn't expect these officials to be standing here for so long.
Although they had beads of sweat on their faces and looked impatient, they still showed no intention of leaving.
Jiang Yu stood in the shade and looked at them with interest.
After an unknown amount of time, Gan Yanling yawned and groggily woke up.
After Gan Yanling woke up, the palace maid who was helping him get dressed said...
"Your Majesty, the ministers outside have been waiting for you."
When Gan Yanling heard that the ministers were all waiting for him, his face darkened.
Gan Yanling thought these ministers were really quite capable.
I never expected that I would be able to wait outside in such scorching heat.
Finally, Gan Yanling dressed in fine clothes and sent someone to invite them in.
Jiang Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw all the officials go inside.
I can now say that I have completed my mission.
Jiang Yu returned to Gan Yanling's side.
However, at this moment, these ministers turned their attention directly to Gan Yanling.
They all knelt down on the ground with a thud.
"Long live my emperor."
Gan Yanling was still asleep when he heard their greetings, and he simply waved his hand.
"My esteemed ministers, now that you have come to the main hall to request an audience, you may speak your purpose."
The officials were surprised that Gan Yanling would say this so directly; they had all thought that Gan Yanling would hide it.
Unexpectedly, Gan Yanling did not hide anything at all, but asked them directly.
"Your Majesty, we only wish to ask you one thing."
Gan Yanling looked up at them.
"What do you gentlemen wish to inquire about?"
He was genuinely puzzled by this matter.
"Your Majesty, we would like to ask you what your opinion is on the matter of the princess's male favorites. The princess has already taken two men with her."
These officials were afraid that their sons would fall for Gan Luo, since they still hoped that their sons could get married and have children.
Gan Yanling felt a slight headache coming on; he hadn't expected it to be about this matter again.
"Being favored by the Imperial Sister is their good fortune, but now all of you think the Imperial Sister..."
Before Gan Yanling could finish speaking, one of the officials, a second-rank official, stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, what I want to tell you is that I feel that the princess's actions and thoughts are a bit excessive. Moreover, the princess is now of age, and according to the rules, shouldn't she be looking for a consort? But the princess has not done so, and instead is now looking for male lovers."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I also feel that what Your Highness is doing now is indeed a bit excessive. Moreover, if Your Highness does not find a consort, what will the common people say about you when they find out about these things?"
Listening to these people talking nonstop, Jiang Yu felt like her head was about to explode.
How I wish all of this could be left unsaid now.
Jiang Yu had already noticed that Gan Yanling was impatient.
But these same people are here, chattering away incessantly.
"Your Majesty, the imperial physician you just sent to the Imperial Hospital to fetch for you has now arrived outside the palace."
Gan Yanling instantly understood Jiang Yu's intention: "I am feeling a little unwell today. If you have any questions, please ask them another day."
The officials in the imperial court heard that Gan Yanling was not feeling well.
They are all people who can see things clearly.
"Since Your Majesty is not feeling well, we will not disturb you any longer. We hope Your Majesty will take care of your health and we will come to see you again when you are feeling better."
Once everyone had left, Gan Yanling finally breathed a sigh of relief and patted Jiang Yu on the shoulder.
"Eunuch Jiang is indeed clever. Now that you have helped me out of the crisis, I wonder what kind of reward you would like to receive."
"I feel it is enough to be of assistance to Your Majesty, and I do not need any reward."
Although river fish are unnecessary, Gan Yanling still wants to appreciate them.
Jiang Yu, having received the reward, naturally expressed his gratitude to Gan Yanling here.
"This servant will do his utmost to follow Your Majesty."
In fact, Gan Yanling felt that the only truly loyal person around him was Jiang Yu.
If Jiang Yu can remain so loyal, perhaps Gan Yanling can properly cultivate him.
These officials then came outside, and they were all talking at once.
"What do you think we should do next?"
"Yes, Her Highness has now taken in two male lovers at once. What's more important is that the fathers of these two male lovers hold a certain position in the court."
Gan Luo dared to accept someone with a certain status; if someone had no status in the court, wouldn't they have no choice but to let Gan Luo have his way?
"I'd like to know, isn't Your Highness afraid of offending officials in the court?"
"It's not just you who has this idea; even the person in charge of this matter has the same idea."
The princess has now taken two male lovers, and no matter how much they complain, the matter is already settled.
The only thing we can do now is to reduce the likelihood of such incidents happening.
