Chapter 2292: Chapter 2289: Filing a Complaint

With the establishment of the factory, the results of silk production in the south were quite good, and Emperor Xuanming received the news that his mood was very pleasant these days.

This day at the morning court.

After discussing other matters, Xiang City unexpectedly stood up, "Emperor, regarding Lord Zhou’s injury in the Capital Garrison, ultimately it was Lord Chu’s responsibility and something went wrong. I have heard that the training content in the Cavalry Battalion that Lord Chu is responsible for is extremely harsh, even leading to some permanent injuries among the soldiers. These soldiers are soldiers of Great Chu, even if injured, it should be against the enemy, not being tortured by the hands of an outsider like Lord Chu."

The Minister of Rites also stood up: "Is this really the case?"

"Official Huang, this matter is naturally true. Why would I bring a fake issue to the Imperial Court? I did not speak earlier, as I did not expect Lord Chu could be so ruthless. I thought he was genuinely good for the soldiers. Now I know he’s just venting his personal desires."

"This matter is simply too outrageous!" A military general heard this and immediately shouted angrily.

"Emperor, I have solid evidence. Those soldiers who were expelled from the Cavalry Battalion are still recovering, and many soldiers in the military camp know what happened." Xiang City appeared frank, but his words were full of accusations against Chu Heng.

Emperor Xuanming listened to the voices of the court ministers arguing below, rubbing his forehead, looking weary: "Minister Chu, what do you have to say about this matter?"

"Emperor, this matter is purely fabricated." Chu Heng stood up and spoke firmly.

Xiang City snorted coldly and confronted him openly in the court: "Lord Chu, you say it’s fabricated, but you can’t block the mouths of all the soldiers in the military camp. How you treat them does not need me to reveal, you can’t cover up your atrocities."

"Minister Xiang, you’re saying I deliberately mistreated the soldiers in the Cavalry Battalion?" Chu Heng looked at him, his dark eyes remaining calm throughout, unfazed by the words of entrapment.

Seeing his unhurried, calm demeanor, Xiang City grew more hateful and wary. Among the five Cavalry Battalions in the Northern Region, he managed to get a confidant to take a position in the second battalion, while the third, fourth, and fifth battalions were all held by the Emperor.

Even the Deputy General of the fifth battalion was a brother from Chu Heng’s in-law’s family. Previously, his influence was only targeting people in the Imperial Court, and now it has even expanded to the military camp.

If Chu Heng is allowed to develop like this, who would dare to challenge him in the future?

Xiang City is now increasingly wary of Chu Heng.

Naturally, he must find trouble for him everywhere.

Let alone his relationship with the Qi family’s Grand Secretary Qi, which was deliberately exposed by Chu Heng.

Causing him to lose imperial favor, his influence in the Ministry of War declined, and his power was diluted. If it weren’t for the timing not being right to turn against Chu Heng now, he would definitely not continue to endure.

But, if he can cause trouble for Chu Heng, so much the better.

"Indeed, I have asked the military doctors, the injuries on those soldiers who left the Cavalry Battalion are severe. One soldier became lame, another nearly crippled, even Lord Zhou, while inspecting the military camp yesterday, met with an accident. According to the investigation, it was because medicine was found nearby that stimulated the horses and caused the incident."

"Lord Chu, although I know you are eager to achieve political accomplishments, it should not be established on ruining these soldiers’ lives."
