Zhao Junsheng was very angry after reading Liang Ji's memorial, and went to bed that night without eating. Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong looked at him lying on his side, and looked at each other.

Hua Mulan winked at Wan Yutong, but Wan Yutong had no choice but to push him forward: "Zhao Junsheng, it's getting dark, it's time for dinner!"

"No appetite, don't eat!" Zhao Jun's sullen voice came from under the quilt.

Wan Yutong said: "I really convinced you, why are you like a child, how old are you? You will be so angry that you can't eat after a memorial, then why don't you eat in the future, just become a fairy Why do you say that you have the same knowledge as an old man? Besides, apart from those words calling you a tyrant, what Liang Gong said in the memorial is not unreasonable. Officials were cultivated by the court with great difficulty. After killing so many people, wouldn’t the court’s painstaking efforts all these years be in vain? Killing people can’t solve the problem, the root of it still lies in educating the officials!”

Zhao Jun got angry and lifted the quilt and sat up: "Who taught you to say this?"

"Of course it's Duke Liang!"

"Then why didn't he write it in the memorial?"

Chapter 943

Hua Mulan walked over and said, "There are some things that Mr. Liang can't write in the memorial, after all he is also a member of the court!"

Zhao Junsheng was right when he thought about it, he got out of bed and put on his clothes, "Hey, what do I care about with an old man? He says I am a tyrant and I am a tyrant? He doesn't care what kind of person I am. People have something in their hearts. Steelyard! Let's go, eat!

Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong looked at each other and smiled.

Two days later was the court meeting, Zhao Junsheng asked Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong to go to court together, Wan Yutong did not refuse, it seems that she has figured it out.

"Your Majesty is here—" the eunuch's sharp voice came into the hall.

The ministers prostrated together: "May your Majesty be blessed and safe!"

Zhao Junsheng walked into the hall with Hua Mulan and Wan Yutong. He sat on the throne in the middle, Hua Mulan on the left and Wan Yutong on the right.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "Everyone is in peace!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The officials got up, and they found that not only Hua Mulan had appeared, but Wan Yutong had also appeared at the court meeting, and they were also sitting next to Zhao Junsheng, which made them a little confused. What does this mean?

The courtiers knew about the relationship between Zhao Junsheng and Wan Yutong, and no one had ever broken it, and they all acquiesced, but now Zhao Junsheng let Wan Yutong sit beside him, is this the rhythm of formally giving an identity?

I just heard Zhao Junsheng say: "Mr. Suiyang, I think everyone is no stranger to the Qing family. Didn't the Zhongqing family always complain about my inner palace being too deserted? Some people even accused the queen of being jealous by nature. I didn't bother with the person who said this, and I didn't pay attention to it or pursue it. Today, I will satisfy your request. I intend to confer the title of Suiyang Lord Wanshi as a noble concubine. Presumably, you won't object, right?"

The ministers looked at each other.

Zhao Junsheng saw that the ministers were overwhelmed by his sudden words, so he said: "Whether the ministers have opinions or not, this is my family matter, even if someone objects, it will be invalid! This ceremony of conferring a noble concubine is Keep it simple, don't make it as grand as conferring the empress, I plan to hold it on the Shangyuan Festival next year, and with the festive atmosphere, the conferring hall will be very lively at that time!

I thought about it for a while, when the time comes, the common people can enter the scene to watch the ceremony and have fun with the people!As for which folks are allowed to enter the scene to watch the ceremony, the folks can sign up, and the inner court will conduct the selection, and the banquet after the canonization ceremony can also be contracted to the major restaurants in Chang'an City, and they will provide the dishes! "

Minister Lu Xuan stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty can think of having fun with the people and allow the common people to sign up to participate in the ceremony. I am very happy, but I am afraid that it is inappropriate to contract the banquet ceremony of the grand ceremony to a private restaurant. Can't the royal chefs come up with a few dishes?"

Zhao Junsheng slapped the eunuch Kang Yide, and Kang Yide stood up and said: "The imperial chefs in the palace naturally have superb craftsmanship. In fact, most of the dishes in the folk restaurants come from the hands of the royal chefs in the palace. The folk restaurants are just Draw a ladle like a gourd! Your Majesty’s intention to contract out the banquet dishes to folk restaurants is to let the folk cooks innovate more and let them compete with each other. Only by letting them compete with each other can they make more varieties and more delicious dishes! "

Lu Xuandao: "Your Majesty, the royal family has no family affairs, so we must be cautious about small things. If the royal family can't afford the canonization ceremony, I think the imperial court can pay for it!"

Lu Xuan's words were immediately opposed by Liu He, Minister of the Household Department: "Mr. Lu, you just take the money? Is the court run by your family? It is said that the court pays, but in the end, the Ministry of Households will take the money? Anyway, I don’t want you to take out the money, you can stand and talk without backache!”

Liu He yelled at Lu Xuan, turned around and saluted Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I think your majesty's idea is feasible. Allow powerful people to enter the scene to watch the ceremony, and let them buy a seat before paying a sum. The higher the price is, the higher the price is; in addition, the dishes on the banquet are contracted to private restaurants, allowing them to compete with each other, and the one with the highest bid will be qualified to contract. This is beneficial to both parties, so why not do it?"

Zhao Junsheng nodded and said with a smile: "Liu Qing knows what I mean, that's what I mean, so it's settled, there is no need to discuss this matter again!"

The few ministers who originally wanted to oppose and dissuade them had no choice but to give up after hearing what Zhao Junsheng said.

The eunuch Kang Yide took a step forward and said loudly: "If there is something to do, we will play, and if there is nothing to do, we will retreat!"

Kong Zhengshu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, stood up and saluted, "Your Majesty, I have something to announce!"

"allow!"

Kong Zhengshu said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Your Majesty ordered to kill a large number of officials in Xingyang County and Hanoi County. Regardless of whether those officials really violated the rules and regulations, corrupt ink, and fished the common people, even if they are the most evil, I think Your Majesty cannot easily Put them all to death! His Majesty has always advocated the rule of law, why did His Majesty go against his own proposition this time?"

Zhao Junsheng's eyes narrowed, "Kong Zhengshu, are you accusing me?"

"I dare not!" Kong Zhengshu said so, but there was no trace of fear on his face.

Since the founding of the country, Zhao Junsheng has been discussing with the ministers on state affairs. The suggestions and ideas put forward by the ministers, Zhao Junsheng thinks that they are feasible, are all adopted, and the ministers advise him. He thinks it is reasonable. I also accept it humbly. After a long time, if Zhao Junsheng does not follow the suggestions of the ministers, they will be unhappy. If they are not happy, they will bluntly report his fault. This created an illusion for the ministers, and many people took pride in picking the emperor's thorns and pointing out the emperor's inappropriate words and deeds.

"Don't dare? Don't you dare?" Zhao Junsheng sneered, and slapped Yu An angrily: "I see that you are so courageous that you dare to accuse me in person. Who gave you such courage? This court Are there really no rules in the classroom? Is it possible for anyone to point fingers in front of me and curse at me by pointing at my nose? Come on!"

Two soldiers in front of the temple walked in quickly, and the armor on their bodies rattled as they walked.

Zhao Junsheng pointed to Kong Zhengshu and said, "Take off his official hat and court clothes, and put him in the dungeon, waiting for his execution!"

"Follow the order!" The soldiers agreed, quickly controlled Kong Zhengshu, took off his official hat and court clothes, and dragged him away!

An official stood up and saluted and said: "Your Majesty, Kong Shangshu is loyal to the country. He just said something inappropriate for a while. Please forgive me!"

Zhao Junsheng yelled: "Come here, put him in the sky prison too, and wait for his release with Kong Zhengshu!"

Another two soldiers walked in quickly and dragged down the official who was pleading for Kong Zhengshu.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me, Your Majesty..."

Zhao Junsheng kept a straight face, ignoring the official's cries for mercy. With a murderous look on his face, he glanced at the officials and shouted angrily, "Who else wants to intercede for Kong Zhengshu? Who else? Do you want to go to the prison?" ? I have fulfilled him, it’s not like that the Daqian Empire would be impossible without one of you, why don’t you go to the Heavenly Prison to eat a few rotten meals?”

All the ministers were frightened into silence, and no one dared to stand up and intercede again.

Hua Mulan coughed twice: "Ahem, Your Majesty, please speak up if you have something to say, all the ministers are doing it for the court and for this!"

Liang Ji, standing in front of the ministers, knew in his heart that Zhao Junsheng must have lost his temper this time because of the memorial he wrote. In the memorial, he scolded Zhao Junsheng severely. I didn't argue with him, but as an emperor, how could he endure being scolded so badly?It just so happened that Kong Zhengshu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice, hit the muzzle of the gun this time, which ignited the fire in Zhao Junsheng's heart.

Liang Ji knew that Zhao Junsheng's temper seemed to be directed at Kong Zhengshu, but it was actually directed at him, and he felt quite uncomfortable.

At this time, Zhao Junsheng said: "Kong Zhengshu accused me of not following the court rules and executing those criminals without authorization. What he meant was accusing me of abusing imperial power. Did I abuse imperial power? Those criminals were all found out by the Imperial City Secretary Yes, they were all interrogated by the Imperial City Division, and all of them have solid evidence. If I want to kill them, do I still need to report to him, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? Do I still need to report to you so-called court ministers? The emperor asked you to come Done!"

The ministers knelt on the ground one after another, "I dare not wait!"

"Why don't you dare? The emperor has become your target! If you don't satisfy you even a little bit, you will accuse me. The accusation is still light. Some people are so bold that they directly write a letter calling me a tyrant. Ha, when did the emperor act like this?" Is it worthless? Is it so worthless? Can anyone scold the emperor?"

Pei Jin, who was kneeling below, realized that someone had to stand up and support the emperor at this time, otherwise it would inevitably cause a confrontation between the monarch and his ministers. If the confrontation between the monarch and his ministers in the court was caused just because of a Kong Zhengshu, it would probably let the petty people take advantage of it. However, in other times, in order to consolidate the imperial power, once the emperor uses treacherous villains, there will be a bloody storm in the court.

Thinking of this, Pei Jin straightened up and cupped his hands to Zhao Junsheng: "Your Majesty, I think Kong Zhengshu should be killed!"

All the ministers were taken aback, what does Pei Jin mean?

Zhao Junsheng said calmly, "Oh? What do you think?"

Pei Jin said: "I believe that Kong Zhengshu's actions are against the way of being a minister, not to mention whether the king is at fault. If you offend Tianyan, if you don't kill this person, what is His Majesty's power? What's more, his reasons for offending His Majesty are simply not valid. He just wants to replace the function of the Imperial City Department with the Ministry of Punishment! Besides, Xingyang County and Hanoi County are the hardest hit areas , I believe that extraordinary measures should be taken at extraordinary times, and the public anger will not be quelled unless those criminal officials are killed!"

Someone guessed Pei Jin's intentions, and echoed, "Your Majesty, I second the proposal!"
