Chapter 566 Your Majesty, do you want to remove me from office?
Seeing Choi Zhengyi appear with a group of ministers, Jiang Xia naturally understood that all this was his conspiracy. No, to be precise. From the time he discovered that the "Zhu Zaijiang" in front of him was a fake, he knew that the whole thing was inseparable from Cui Ziwei and Choi Zhengyi, the father and daughter.
Choi Zhengyi's appearance at this moment was just to make this matter clear.
Jiang Xia had a very impulse in his heart, that was to kill Cui Zhengyi immediately. With his martial arts skills today, it was not difficult to do this. The people who came here were all civil officials, not to mention that his current kung fu has made great progress no less than Xiao Sha and others.
Even if his kung fu is just the seventh-century tripod of that year, no one can stop him from killing Cui Zhengyi.
However, Jiang Xia also knew that he could not do this, not because he was afraid of something, but because he was sure that Zhu Zaijiang was fake at the moment, so the real Zhu Zaijiang must still be in the hands of Cui Zhengyi and his father and daughter.
If he killed Cui Zhengyi, Zhu Zaijiang would probably be far from death.
Jiang Xia took a breath slightly, reached out to support Mu Shaoqing and said, "Old Mu, why are you here in person?"
With Jiang Xia's current status in the Ming Dynasty, he personally helped him and called him "Old Mu" very much.
Mu Shaoqing reached out and grabbed Jiang Xia's hand and said, "Master Jiang, the emperor is still young, so it is inevitable that he will make mistakes. Although you are the Grand Tutor, it is inappropriate to attack the emperor."
Jiang Xia looked back at Miao Renhu, then his eyes slipped over Cui Zhengyi inadvertently. Jiang Xia nodded and said, "Mr. Mu is right, it is me who is usurped. When I was in Fujian, I had heard that since the emperor left, he has rarely had morning courts and has abandoned government affairs. So in my heart..."
If ordinary people attack the emperor, Mu Shaoqing would probably point at his nose and curse, and then write a letter to his elder ministers in the court, and he would have to punish him for being disrespectful.
But now facing Jiang Xia, after getting what Jiang Xia said, Mu Shaoqing had nothing to say. He could only nod and said, "I can understand Lord Jiang's mood and know that Lord Jiang is for the sake of the emperor's good. However, the emperor has grown up after all, so he can only teach by words and deeds. Taking punishment will hurt the Saint."
"Yes, Jiang Xia understands. Thank you Mr. Mu for your advice." Jiang Xia leaned slightly and said.
His attitude was very low. Mu Shaoqing was very satisfied. He nodded and said nothing more.
Jiang Xia turned his eyes to the ministers who came with him. Naturally, the ministers did not dare to talk too much. They all lowered their heads and bowed to stand aside. They didn't even have the courage to look at Jiang Xia.
Finally, Jiang Xia looked at Cui Zhengyi and smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Cui is very informed and moves very quickly. In such a short time, you can find such a number of adults."
Cui Zhengyi bowed slightly to Jiang Xia and said, "Mr. Fuguo is too good. We know that you have returned to Beijing. I originally wanted to go to the palace to visit the emperor. I only knew that after entering the palace, I realized that the emperor took the emperor away. I was so excited that I did something inappropriate, so I..."
Half of what Cui Zhengyi said was true, but he brought these people into the palace not to visit him, but to accept Miao Renhu's title as planned in front of Jiang Xia, so as to ascend to the position of Minister of the regent.
At that time, one will assist the country and the other will assist the government. In addition, Cui Zhengyi has the title of a father-in-law above his head, so he will be qualified to compete with Jiang Xia. You should know that in the years when Jiang Xia's rise, although the factions were huge, there were no more people who offended him.
In the past, there was only one person who had been missing to lead everyone to work together to deal with Jiang Xia. If Cui Zhengyi stood up now, he might have a shortcoming of his confrontation, but he probably wouldn't lack supporters.
But what made Cui Zhengyi depressed was that the original plan was disrupted from the beginning. Jiang Xia not only brought Miao Renhu out of the palace directly, but now it seems that seven out of the way may have guessed that Miao Renhu is fake.
But that doesn't matter. Miao Renhu's identity will sooner or later be known to Jiang Xia. This is also the most important part of the plan discussed by Cui Zhengyi and Cui Ziwei.
After hearing Cui Zhengyi's words, Jiang Xia sneered slightly and did not make any comments on this.
Cui Zhengyi was not afraid of Jiang Xia in terms of momentum and said directly: "Mr. Fuguo, if there is no other important matter, I will welcome the emperor back to the palace first."
"Wait a minute, I have something to discuss with the emperor. You can go back first." Jiang Xia said lightly.
"This..." Cui Zhengyi hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Jiang is in a mood now, so the emperor is probably a little bit staying here... Otherwise, let Bei Zhi and others welcome the emperor back to the palace today, and wait until Master Jiang calms down tomorrow..."
"I said that the emperor and I have something to discuss and ask you to go back first. Don't you understand this?" Jiang Xia frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
His rude interruption of Choi Zhengyi was equivalent to not giving Choi Zhengyi any face at all. Choi Zhengyi felt a little uncomfortable on his face. He quietly glanced at Miao Renhu in silence, meaning that it was said that it was your time to speak now.
After all, if Miao Renhu says he wants to go with him, even if there is an imperial edict, Jiang Xia will be suspected of being usurped.
Miao Renhu was stunned by Jiang Xia's slap in the face. At this moment, he received Cui Zhengyi's eyes. Miao Renhu immediately felt blessed and pointed at Jiang Xia excitedly and said, "Jiang Xia! You... you dare to hit me, I... I will never tolerate you today. From now on, I will remove you from the position of assisting the country, deprive you of the position of Grand Tutor, demote you to a commoner, and expel you from the capital!"
When Jiang Xia heard this, he immediately turned his head and looked at Miao Renhu.
At this moment, Cui Zhengyi, Mu Shaoqing, and the other ministers present all changed their faces. Cui Zhengyi also had the urge to beat Miao Renhu at this moment. You fool, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand anything.
Mu Shaoqing and others were slightly stunned, and immediately fell to the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, no."
Cui Zhengyi gritted his teeth and forced himself to kneel on the ground, shouting: "Your Majesty, please think twice, please be careful!"
Miao Renhu was stunned for a moment. What is this? Isn’t he the emperor? Shouldn’t the emperor say whatever he wants to kill? Now he is just trying to relieve him of his official position, and he hasn’t said he has yet to kill him.
Of course, he actually wanted to say that he was just taking advantage of Jiang Xia's power and did not dare to say so terrible.
Jiang Xia smiled slightly, looked at Miao Renhu and asked, "Emperor, are you... really going to remove me from my official position?"
