Zhu Houzhao was stunned as soon as he went to court. Jiang Xia held the clothes on the old censor Han Wenqing's chest in his hand, and looked like you owed me three thousand taels and didn't pay it back.

I believe many people know what they are doing. It is their duty to impeach all officials after the news. To put it bluntly, they are the people who specialize in beating people and report on the news.

Of course, they not only impeached civil and military officials, but also boldly made suggestions to the emperor. However, the Ming Dynasty was not as free as the Song Dynasty, and there were Dongchang and Jinyiwei in the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty, so they dared not speak too presumptuously.

Zhu Houzhao, an old minister like Han Wenqing, actually hates it very much on weekdays. He always relies on his seniority and always says that he cannot do this and that one violates the ancestral system. When he saw Jiang Xia attacking Han Wenqing, Zhu Houzhao laughed in his heart, then sat on the dragon throne and asked in a clear voice: "Two dear ministers, what's the etiquette of kneeling down when I see me coming to the Palace of Supreme Harmony? What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, be the master of the old minister." Han Wenqing knew the truth that he had taken the initiative early, so he spoke first.

Han Wenqing knelt on the ground tremblingly and said, "Your Majesty, this son does not know the order of standing, and he stood by the Minister of Rites Jin. As the censor, the old minister has the responsibility to impeach all officials and report the memorial. The old minister just kindly gave advice, but he did not say rude to the old minister and grabbed the old minister and refused to let the old minister salute the emperor."

Han Wenqing said something very particular. He first said that Jiang Xia did not know the order of standing, but in fact he was accusing him of being arbitrarily. Then he pointed out that his identity was blamed for being reported by the news, and also said that he was kind-heartedly instructing him.

When I heard this, it seemed that Jiang Xia was the one who was wrong in public or private matters. Finally, he said that Jiang Xia grabbed him and refused to let him perform the bow of bowing, which even implied that Jiang Xia did not respect the emperor.

Military generals use swords and weapons, while civil officials benefit from verbalism. Han Wenqing is worthy of being an old censor, and this verbalism is indeed awesome.

After hearing this, Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, then looked at Jiang Xia and asked, "Jiang Xia, is that true?"

When Han Wenqing heard the name Jiang Xia, he didn't think anything was wrong, but then he realized.

Jiang Xia? Could it be the leader of the royal dragon probe? Jiang Xia, who just caught the flower-picking thief and was named the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion?

Han Wenqing looked at Jiang Xia in surprise.

Jiang Xia clasped his fists and said to Zhu Houzhao: "Report to the emperor, what the Censor said is not false, but it is not the whole truth.

First of all, I am not ignoring the order of my position, but because Lord Jin is a good friend of Weichen’s master Li Dongyang. I am just coming forward to say hello to him as a junior. Lord Jin can testify to this point."

After saying that, Jiang Xia looked at Jin Gui.

Zhu Houzhao and Han Wenqing also looked at Jin Gui. Jin Gui smiled helplessly. He had long guessed that Jiang Xia would use this move, but he really pulled him into the water.

On one side is Jiang Xia and on the other side is Han Wenqing. Jin Gui naturally knew how to choose.

Jin Gui nodded and said, "Your Majesty, what Jiang Xia said is not false."

This is indeed true, so Jin Gui doesn't feel much pressure.

Hearing Jin Gui confirmed this, Jiang Xia shook his sleeves gently, cleared his throat and said, "Master, the facts are clear. The Imperial Minister does not know the order of the position, but the Imperialist thinks the Imperial Minister does not know the order of the position.

The Censor shouted at the Wei minister without any discrimination, and then accused the Wei minister of his poor family education and his words hurt his parents. Therefore, the Wei minister asked the Censor and I to explain the whole matter clearly in front of the emperor.

As a censor, as he said, the Censor said that he was responsible for impeaching all officials. But it is precisely because the Censor has such a power that he should check the truth carefully and make it true and well-founded.

If you don’t ask the truth and impeach others according to your own preferences and prejudice, then what should you consider the prestige of the court? What should you consider the dignity of civil and military officials?

If all the censors are like this, then all the officials in the court will be disloyal from the court and will not work hard to contribute to the country and the country. How can the country and the country in the Ming Dynasty improve by then?"

After Jiang Xia finished a long sentence, the entire Hall of Supreme Harmony suddenly became silent.

Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was also stunned. He always knew that Jiang Xia was very eloquent and had almost never lost in debates with others. But there were still only a few who performed so well like him today. But he just misunderstood him and said it wrongly, why did he have something to do with the country, civil and military officials?

The people in the Taihe Palace did not react at all to how Jiang Xia was so raising such a trivial matter to the height of the country.

However, the group of ministers almost sighed in their hearts, fortunately they didn't mess with this person.

After Jiang Xia finished speaking, Zhu Houzhao first reacted.

He coughed twice before saying to Han Wenqing: "Censor Han, according to my opinion, it seems that you were wrong this time. What do you think?"

Han Wenqing opened his mouth twice but couldn't say a word. At the end, he could only kneel on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister knows his crime, I hope the emperor will forgive him."

Zhu Houzhao was immediately happy when he heard this. This was the first time he had heard a censor like Han Wenqing take the initiative to admit his mistake.

Zhu Houzhao immediately looked stern and said with a serious expression: "Mr. Han, you also know that you are censors and censors. Every word and action represents the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty and the majesty of the court. But you are so indiscriminate today, I can't just forget it.

I will not say more about your age. I will punish you for one year's salary. You will not be allowed to participate in the court discussion within one year. Please reflect on yourself."

"Yes, the old minister obeys the order and thanks the emperor for his grace." Han Wenqing kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao.

It doesn't matter if he is fined for a year, but it makes him feel uncomfortable if he doesn't participate in the court discussion for less than a year.

What is the power of his censor used to demonstrate? Of course, when impeachment time and time again, as long as the scandal of an official was revealed in the market, Han Wenqing would not need to hint that the official would naturally prepare generous gifts to find him and let him go.

With this, Han Wenqing also got a lot of money. Now that he has no power to participate in the court debate, he may have to face the endless revenge of the officials he impeached in the past.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, Jiang Xia and Han Wenqing each saluted him and stood back in the queue.

Zhu Houzhao continued to ask, "Does there be any news from all the families of ministers?"

"I have something to say."

The ministers did not speak, but instead the supervisor of the Imperial Heaven Supervision spoke.

The so-called Imperial Heaven Prison is actually equivalent to the current observatory director, who is responsible for observing whether there are any abnormal changes in the celestial phenomena. If there is, it needs to be reported immediately and explain what the celestial phenomena indicate.

For example, if a meteor slides down, this is an ominous sign and needs to be reported to the emperor and asked him to go to the Taimiao for sacrifice.

For example, the seven-star pearl is a sign of great luck. You need to tell the emperor and let him announce the common amnesty of the whole world.

Maybe you would say that Imperial Heaven Supervision is just a charlatan department?

In fact, this cannot be said. After all, the people in the Imperial Heavenly Prison have read a lot of star classics, but at that time there was little knowledge of astronomy, and most of them were speculations and superstitions that followed the crowd. Everyone just wanted to be at peace.

Nowadays, the Imperial Heaven Prison, which rarely speaks, finally speaks again, so everyone cheers up and listens, because the Imperial Heaven Prison often doesn't speak, and once you speak, you will have something that requires a big fight.

As expected, the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor said: "Emperor, there is a mountain in Suzhou, Jiangnan. Its mountain is called Bailong Tomb, and its name comes from..."

The supervisor said a long sentence, which quoted the classics and said that Jiang Xia was drowsy.

Jiang Xia couldn't help but admire him. In fact, to put it bluntly, it was just one thing, that was, a mountain collapse suddenly occurred on the Bailong Tomb in Suzhou, and the mountain collapsed, causing a stone sculpture that looked like a giant dragon to appear on the top of the mountain.

Local people say that this stone sculpture is the true body of the divine dragon in the sky and is a spiritual object.

The locals went up the mountain to worship and found that there were words on the dragon's belly, which said, "The Zhu family has a son, and they are virtuous and carry things; they are responsible for the world to avoid the advantages and disadvantages."

The ministers in the court immediately reacted as soon as they heard this. Isn’t the word that connects the beginning of each of the sixteen words “Zhu Houzhaolai”?

Sure enough, the supervisor said: "Your Majesty, this is a warning from God. I pray that the emperor can follow the decree of heaven and move to the south to worship the dragon spirit."

Huh... After some preparation, this was finally brought out. Zhu Houzhao secretly glanced at Jiang Xia. Using the theory of ghosts and gods as an excuse for the southern tour, this was the plan that Zhu Houzhao and Jiang Xia had decided after discussing.

It was originally a few words to be clear, but the Imperial Heaven Supervision Supervisor said such a long sentence.

But finally achieved his goal. Zhu Houzhao glanced at the ministers with a reserved look, coughed twice, "This...it seems that I need to go to the southern tour. I wonder what you guys think?"

"Your Majesty, this matter is not possible!"

Zhu Houzhao originally thought that he said first, "I need to go to see the southern tour." The people behind him dared not object, but he never thought that the first person to jump out to oppose Fei Hong, an old minister in the cabinet.

Zhu Houzhao was worried. Fei Hong was not an ordinary person. This old guy was already the top scorer in the palace examination when he was 20 years old. He was also a veteran of the three dynasties who had been through Xianzong, Xiaozong and then to the current one. It was just the cabinet that he had entered.

Now he is the Prince Shaobao and the Grand Secretary of the Wuying Palace. His status in the court is extremely high.

Zhu Houzhao asked with some displeasure: "Who is Fei Aiqing talking about, why not?"

Fei Hong walked out of the queue and bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "It's too strange. The emperor, the saying of ghosts and gods is a matter of faith, but if it doesn't believe it, it's not true. If the Bailong Tomb Mountain collapses, there are stone sculptures that look like giant dragons. These ministers don't realize that there is anything. There are sixteen words engraved on the dragon body, and the emperor's name is hidden. This minister thinks it's too strange. I'm afraid that this is a deliberate design by someone who is interested in order to move the emperor to the south to make it unfavorable to the emperor."

After Fei Hong said that, Jiang Xia immediately rolled his eyes at Zhu Houzhao, meaning: "Look, please don't add that word or not, you'll add it too much, your trick has been seen through?"

Originally, the design of this matter was to have a dragon sculpture that collapsed and then the Imperial Heavenly Prison hoped that the emperor would follow the destiny of heaven to worship. This was a reasonable thing. However, in order to be foolproof, Zhu Houzhao added sixteen words.

Jiang Xia finally understood what it means to take off his pants and fart too much.

As soon as Fei Hong finished speaking, Liu Zhong and Yang Yiting also jumped out. They said nothing, but said three words: "I will discuss it."

Zhu Houzhao immediately turned his attention to Jiang Xia, and the meaning of asking for help was very obvious.

Jiang Xia shook her head helplessly, and could only stand up with a tough bullet and say, "Sir, the sayings of ghosts and gods are indeed illusory, and this matter does seem a bit strange.

But the sayings of ghosts and gods have always believed it, and if they don’t believe it, they don’t. If the emperor ignores this matter, I’m afraid it will attract people in the future. If there is any natural disaster again, I believe that you still remember the incident of 'Don’t tell the stone man with one eye and provoke the Yellow River to rebel the world.'

"Don't tell the story of a stone man with one eye to stir up the Yellow River and the world's rebellion" talks about the correct name used by the Red Turban Army in the late Yuan Dynasty when it revolted.

In fact, there are many forms of rebels who have used the name to rectify people in all dynasties. For example, during the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Zhang Jiao met the popular saying "Five Virtues Reincarnation" at that time, proposing that "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand, and the year is in Jiazi, and the world is very lucky." For example, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang faked the "Fish Belly Book" and "Bonfire and Fox Singing" to create a mysterious atmosphere.

There are also those who use auspiciousness to prove that they have received support from destiny. For example, after Dou Jiande's uprising in the Sui Dynasty, it was promoted that five big birds fly to the sutra and Leshou were auspicious, and for this purpose, they changed the reign to "Five Phoenixes".

In short, strange phenomena similar to these cannot be taken lightly, otherwise they will cause many unimaginable consequences if they are used by those who are interested.

Jiang Xia’s statement is indeed reasonable, but after he just finished speaking, an old minister said, “Sir Jiang, will you be responsible if something happens to the emperor?”

Damn! Isn't this a provocation?

Jiang Xia didn't even look back and replied directly: "Is it because someone is using this to make a fuss, are you responsible?"

"I neither support the emperor nor support the emperor not to go. But I will remember that Lord Jiang, you supported the emperor when you said that."

Jiang Xia looked at the old minister and it was obvious that he was also a censor.

The dispute between Jiang Xia and Han Wenqing just now clearly offended all the censors in the court, and he could say such a rogue.

Jiang Xia couldn't help asking him: "Sir, do you know the difference between a dog and a wolf?"

"What's the difference?" said the censor.

Jiang Xia smiled coldly and said, "Wolfs only eat meat, not shit. But dogs are different. They eat meat when they encounter meat, and they eat shit (the imperial envoy)."

The words "The Censor eats shit" immediately caused an uproar, and the ministers in the court quarreled. The Censor pointed at Jiang Xia and cursed: "You shameless villain, how dare you insult me ​​in the Hall of Supreme Harmony?"

Jiang Xia immediately retorted: "When did I insult you? Am I just talking about dogs? Have you said you? Could it be that you think you are..."

"Bastard! Scoundrel! Animal!"

The censor pointed at Jiang Xia and cursed.

Jiang Xia walked to the censor two steps and said, "Warning you, don't point at me and scold me, be careful that I'm not polite to you."

"What? Do you still want to beat me? You fight, you fight..."

"Bang!" A loud slap sounded, Jiang Xia turned around and said to everyone, "Everyone has heard it clearly. It was this adult who asked me to hit him just now, so I dare not refuse to obey."

"Dare you dare to hit me? A bastard, try to hit me..."

"Bang!"

"You dare to hit Lord Lin, let's go together to seek justice for Lord Lin!"

The Hall of Supreme Harmony was formed into a ball...

ps: monthly tickets need to be voted, red tickets need to be given, the rich can support the money, and the poor can support the people, hehe...
Chapter completed!
