Chapter 187 The Empress Dowager Summons
"Good boy, very bold!"
Cen Changqian couldn't help but speak.
"Brother Changqian? Who is the so-called person?"
Wei Xuantong, the Minister of the Left Prime Minister and the Minister of the Sect, asked.
"this……"
Cen Changqian hesitated for a moment, did not answer, and presented the letter to Wu Chengsi and said, "Please check it out!"
"I dare to betray this kid, dismiss the office and demoted him from the capital, and never tell him to do so!"
When Wu Chengsi saw it, he was furious and threw the note to the ground.
"oh?"
Several prime ministers stood up one after another, picked up the memorials and looked at it, and suddenly they looked extremely wonderful.
Impeach Zhou Xing?
By the heart, none of the Chinese officials in the court had a good impression of the Censorate. They might fall into the hands of the Censorate one day and were brought into an unjust case. Now someone is ahead and accusing Zhou Xing of accusation. What's even better is that it is not impeaching Zhou Xing to take power or extortion from Daxing, but impeaching him for violating the system. The facts are clear and the evidence is conclusive. If Zhou Xing is held with a big hat of violating the system, he is afraid that Zhou Xing will be in trouble.
“Hey~~”
Wei Xuantong waved his hand and said, "The Censor is responsible for impeachment. If the right prime minister dismisses Xiao Ye, who dares to speak in the future? If the empress dowager is in trouble, it will be unfavorable to the right prime minister."
"Yeah~~"
Wu Chengsi thought about it and pondered: "Then stay here and don't send it!"
"inappropriate!"
Cen Changqian said: "The so-called divine authority of the king, Xiao Ye's impeachment is not an ordinary matter. It involves divine authority. It is better for the Queen Mother to sage this matter, and we cannot intervene."
‘Damn, how could this kid be so troublesome?’
Wu Chengsi frowned secretly.
Indeed, only the monarch can control the divine power, and the court only controls secular power. If he is not reported and is exposed, he will be in great trouble.
Wu Chengsi knew in his heart that the empress dowager's most favored heir was actually Helan Minzhi. If Helan Minzhi hadn't been in trouble, he would still be basking in the sun in Qiongya. The empress dowager's favor was not only him, but even held a grudge because of his father.
Moreover, he has the opponent Wu Sansi. If such a big mistake occurs, Wu Sansi will definitely seize the opportunity to attack.
"Well, submit it to the palace!"
Wu Chengsi waved.
In the afternoon, after a simple meal and a moment of rest, the empress dowager was again in charge of the director and reviewing the memorial service presentations from the government affairs hall. Shangguan Wan'er sat next to her and classified it in advance.
“Huh?”
Suddenly, Shangguan Wan'er exclaimed lightly. The original submitted memorial should have been written by the prime minister first and then signed it with a name. However, this memorial was presented directly without any circles. Then he looked at it again: Xiao Ye, the Censor of the Right Su Zhengtai Supervisor, impeached the Censor General Zhou Xingzhe!
Shangguan Wan'er knew who Zhou Xing was, and felt that it was important, so she hurriedly said: "Empress Dowager, there is a memorial to impeach Zhou Xing."
"oh?"
The empress dowager showed surprise. She just a few days ago when she pointed at Zhou Xing and helped her eliminate the remnants of the Li family. Someone came to impeach?
Oh!
It just happened to be all in one go!
"Submit it!"
The Queen Mother said in a deep voice.
"promise!"
Wan'er put the note on the table.
"Is this kid?"
When the empress dowager saw Xiao Ye's name, she was immediately displeased. When she opened it, her expression gradually became more exciting.
Xiao Ye impeached Zhou Xing from the perspective of a god, which really made her unexpected that if Zhou Xing was just impeached and bullied men and women, and was disregarded by human lives, she would ignore it and even sanction Xiao Ye in turn. However, as Cen Changqian said, the power of the king is granted divinely, and any gods are involved is not a trivial matter.
"Wan'er, take a look, too."
After pondering for a while, the Empress Dowager waved to Shangguan Wan'er.
Shangguan Wan'er looked up.
After a moment, the Queen Mother asked, "What should you do about this?"
Shangguan Wan'er knew that the Empress Dowager was unwilling to punish Zhou Xing, but she could not ignore the divine power, so she said, "The Empress Dowager might as well summon Zhou Xing and listen to how he explains it."
"Yeah~~"
The Empress Dowager nodded: "Come, Xuan Zhouxing and Xiao Ye!"
"I obey the order!"
A eunuch outside gave a bow and left.
Shangguan Wan'er didn't expect that the empress dowager would summon Xiao Ye, and she was a little surprised, but she didn't dare to say more.
...
The empress dowager summoned him, and soon Zhou Xing and Xiao Ye came to the palace, but the empress dowager could not see him immediately. They were placed in the ear room and waiting for the summons.
Zhou Xing didn't know what was going on, but he only had a vague premonition. He didn't want to talk to Xiao Ye anymore and sipped tea alone.
Xiao Ye struggled a little.
In the palace, he can absorb dragon energy. Although he cannot use it for the time being, he is always a good thing. The only thing that is worrying about is being discovered. However, he was not discovered last time, which means that even if there is some movement, it is difficult to track down himself.
Do you want wealth and honor in danger?
Xiao Ye immediately made a decision.
Of course, you can't always do this, otherwise you will have abnormalities as soon as you enter the palace. You will contact yourself with a little IQ at the dot and line. You will only suck this time and will never suck it next time you enter the palace.
So Xiao Ye calmed down and calmed his mind, and communicated with the dragon energy in the palace with the dragon seed.
East Palace!
Li Dan was reading the "Book of Filial Piety" in a pretentious manner. He knew that there were empress dowagers in the Eastern Palace and showed a filial son every day. But suddenly, his heart became irritated again. He could no longer read the "Book of Filial Piety" and even had the urge to tear the book.
Fortunately, he held back, put down his book, and went for a walk outside the hall.
Wucheng Palace!
The Empress Dowager was reviewing the memorial, and her heart felt dizzy again, and she couldn't help but hold her chest.
"The Queen Mother?"
Shangguan Wan'er looked over with concern.
‘Why are you here again?’
The empress dowager frowned secretly, and Xuanzhen was sent out of the palace by her to investigate the whereabouts of Emperor Yang of Sui. There were two arhats and a Bodhisattva in the palace, but the same situation had happened once. Xuanzhen did not reveal the reason at that time, and it didn't make much sense to summon him again.
‘Hmph, the dragon's agitated? With me here, what's the use of restlessness?’
The Queen Mother hummed and continued to review the memorials.
It took a full hour to remember the summons and called out, "Have Zhou Xing and Xiao Ye arrived?"
A eunuch bowed and said, "I am waiting for the call in my ear room."
"Prince!"
The Queen Mother put down her pen.
"promise!"
The eunuch slowly retreated, and in a short while, he brought Zhou Xing and Xiao Ye.
"My minister Zhou Xing (My minister Xiao Ye) bowed to the Empress Dowager!"
The two knelt down and saluted.
"Zhou Zhongcheng, please take a look!"
The Queen Mother picked up the note and threw it down.
Zhou Xingzhan picked it up tremblingly. When he saw it, his face suddenly changed. He turned to Xiao Ye and said sternly: "Why don't you report to me first for such a big deal?"
Xiao Ye said without rushing: "The Censorate is different from other yamen. It is the empress dowager and has the right to report directly. If the empress dowager reports everything to the Central Chief, what is the use of the Empress Dowager asking us to do? Do many colleagues in the Censorate report to the Central Chief before handling the case?"
"this……"
Zhou Xing's expression was stagnant, and Xiao Ye's words were heartbroken. The Censor Zhongcheng only had the power to organize the subordinates and censors, and no power to interfere in handling cases. Interference in handling cases was to have other intentions. If it was strictly investigated, it would be enough to be executed.
"Empress Dowager, I am wronged. I have never thought of this. Please be aware of it!"
Zhou Xing came to his senses and kowtowed.
A look of disappointment appeared in the empress dowager's eyes. Could it be that Xiao Ye is really talented and Zhou Xing can't resist it at all?
In fact, Zhou Xing was not so unbearable, but he lost half of his literary spirit and official spirit. He was originally a sixth-grade literary spirit, but now he was only between the fourth and fifth grades, and was also between the position and career of scholars and juren. He was so powerful that he suddenly changed his mind and felt at a loss when he encountered any sudden changes.
"Zhou Xing, Xiao Ye is impeaching you. How should you deal with this matter?"
The Queen Mother asked.
"I will go back and make rectifications immediately!"
Zhou Xing said busyly.
The Queen Mother asked again: "How to make rectifications?"
Zhou Xing pondered without saying a word. In fact, the rectification was very simple. According to Xiao Ye's accusation, the Fashen Temple was downgraded. But the problem was that the Fashen Temple was the source of power of the Censorate. If the Fashen Temple was downgraded, the power of the Censorate would also decline.
If you encounter some special prisoners who cannot be punished in the future, they will lose the deterrence at the level of the gods, which will be extremely unfavorable.
