Unparalleled Concubine

Ji Lin knelt on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, please take charge of the government, abolish the assistant ministers, and dismiss these prime ministers for questioning!"

As soon as these words came out, the court was in an uproar!

You know, yesterday, these few ministers who were still in charge of the world, were charged with such "inconspicuous" crimes in just one day!

What's more, the one who participated in their performance was one of the assistant ministers, Ji Lin, the governor of the governor's mansion!

This shows that, regardless of whether this matter is the emperor's intention or not, the military has already supported the waste!

As soon as Ji Lin finished speaking, before the emperor could speak, the only surviving prime minister in Shangshutai, Fang Wei, took a step forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Emperor Yuanzhao was a little nervous, he looked at the house slightly, and said slowly: "What do you want to say, the Prime Minister, wait a moment, I still want to ask the governor for details."

The room attendant shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the governor is a military officer and should not interfere with civil affairs, but the governor is also an assistant minister. It is no problem for anyone to participate in the performance, so I will not say more."

Fang Xiang took a deep breath and continued: "If the prime ministers and Yan Sikong really violated the national law, they will be handed over to Dali Temple to deal with it. But now that the prime ministers and Yan Sikong are not here, it is unavoidable. Somewhat out of order."

The house slightly knelt on the ground and said in a respectful voice: "Your Majesty, please call a few ministers into the palace and confront them on the spot."

Emperor Yuanzhao frowned.

"Let's take a look at the criminal evidence presented by the governor. If the criminal evidence is true, in my opinion, there is no need to confront him in court, and he will just send it to Dali Temple for investigation."

The house frowned slightly, but didn't say much.

This incident is actually beneficial to him. He is a new prime minister who has not been in Shangshutai for a long time. If he follows the previous rules, he will have to stay in Shangshutai for more than ten or 20 years before he has the chance to be the first assistant. However, if the remaining four prime ministers of Shangshutai are gone, then he will naturally become the first and second prime minister, and the subsequent prime ministers will all call him senior.

However, doing so would cause a huge blow to the civil servants, and for a while the House Micro didn't even know how to deal with it.

At this time, Xue Zhao, a doctor from the Ministry of Rites, stood up, holding the court wat in his hand, and bowed his head deeply to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, if I am impeaching officials in the Great Jin Dynasty, if they are important officials in the capital, they should be handed over to the Sanju Judiciary to investigate and deal with them together. Besides, the few people who were impeached were all ministers of our Great Jin Dynasty, and two of them were ministers left by the late emperor. Not to mention whether the two assistant ministers have corrupted the law or not, even if there are, they will not be dismissed from office directly."

Theoretically speaking, before the emperor was in power, a few assistant ministers performed the king's affairs on their behalf, and they were not guilty of any crime.

If you want to hold them accountable, you must first take away their positions as assistant ministers.

More importantly, the crime of corruption is not enough to remove the status of the assistant minister, because the crime is too light.

At the beginning of the year, when Li Xin wrote a letter to participate in the performance of several ministers, he did not use corruption, but "the seizure of power and the imperial army's plot to commit crimes."

Xue Zhao bowed his head respectfully.

"Your Majesty, please summon a few prime ministers to the palace and explain clearly in front of all civil and military officials."

This Xue Zhao, who was born in the Ministry of Rites, is not only Shen Kuan's student, but also Shen Kuan's former official.

Emperor Yuanzhao sat on the dragon chair, his face was a little unsightly.

Chapter 907

At this time, several old men are still locked in the Shangshutai, so it is naturally impossible to let them go to court, otherwise, once they say a few words, the situation will become extremely unstable.

Even if he has been the emperor for more than half a year, he will become unstable.

The young emperor took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Corruption and perverting the law are shallow virtues. How can shallow virtues assist the country's governance?"

Xue Zhao took a deep breath, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Shen and Yan Sikong are both ministers appointed by the late emperor, no matter what, they can't just rely on a few words from the governor to let them serve as assistants." The position of a minister, this is too much of a joke."

The emperor frowned.

"What does Yixue mean?"

Xue Zhao kowtowed deeply.

"First summon a few prime ministers to enter Weiyang Palace, and then hand them over to the Sanfa Division for verification. After verification, they will be discussed by the court before they can be dismissed as assistant ministers."

Every sentence Xue Zhao said was reasonable, and it was also the treatment that a minister should have, but it was harsh to the ears of Emperor Yuanzhao. The 14-year-old emperor glanced at Xue Zhao coldly, "Ho ho" sneered: "What does Mr. Xue mean, is that I have no right to stop dating?"

"Your Majesty certainly has the right to govern personally."

Xue Zhao knelt on the ground, not daring to raise his head: "But even if His Majesty is brief on the pro-government, several prime ministers can't just say nothing and let it go. The state owns the state law. If Your Majesty acts as he pleases, he will not take the ministers seriously. Among the scholars in the world in the future, who else is willing to contribute to the Tian family?"

He kowtowed deeply.

"Your Majesty is talented and intelligent. If you act like this today, you are either bewitched by someone or you are hiding something inside."

Xue Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, please think twice, no matter what happened, you can't hide it blindly. I heard that several prime ministers entered the palace overnight, and they never came out..."

As soon as he said this, there was an uproar in the court.

At this moment in Weiyang Palace, everyone was curious about where the prime ministers had gone. Now that Xue Zhao said so, they knew that a few people entered the palace last night, and the emperor will be dismissed today. Something big must have happened!

Emperor Yuanzhao finally couldn't hold back, his face was full of anger.

Last night, Shen Kuan and the others had threatened to spread this matter outside the palace, so it is obvious that Xue Zhao, Shen Kuan's student, knew the ins and outs of this, and he said these words clearly as a threat The taste of the Son of Heaven.

The emperor yelled angrily: "Shen Kuan, Yan Shouzhuo and others entered the palace last night with the intention of plotting wrongdoing and causing chaos. I originally wanted to give them a step up, and also give scholars a step down, so I dismissed the prime minister under the pretense of being greedy for money. Xue Zhao, you Do you want your teacher to kill you all over the house!"

Xue Langzhong gritted his teeth, bowed his head and said, "I'm afraid it's not the teacher who committed the crime, but His Majesty..."

Scholars are a very strange group. They are intriguing with each other. Their classmates, hometowns, and colleagues can plot against each other, stepping on other people's corpses to climb up, but sometimes they are extremely united. A relationship is an unbreakable alliance, because the two parties will influence each other, one prospers and the other loses.

If Shen Kuan was dismissed or even questioned, his disciples and old officials would at least stop and be demoted, or at worst be implicated in dismissal or even be accused together.

Take the antique calligraphy and paintings that Shen Kuan has received over the years, many of them were given by Xue Zhao, so he must stand up at this time.

And as long as he said the first sentence, he had to grit his teeth and stick to it to the end, otherwise he would at least end up in exile!

Before he could finish his sentence, Emperor Yuanzhao became furious and shouted: "You are a mere rite minister, you dare to speak nonsense on the Golden Palace, left and right, take him down and lock him up!"

The people on duty around Weiyang Palace are all internal guards. These people are not bound by the imperial court, but the emperor's private soldiers. Hearing this, they immediately stepped forward and took Xue Zhao under custody.

Emperor Yuanzhao stood up from the dragon chair and looked at the civil and military officials under the imperial steps. These officials held the wat in their hands and remained silent.

Obviously, few of these people supported the emperor's resignation for no reason.

After looking at it for a long time, the emperor had to speak slowly.

"Masters, I will send someone to investigate the matter of the governor's letter to participate in the performance today, and discuss it after the investigation is clear. If there is nothing else, let's call it quits today."

At this time, naturally no one dared to be troublesome anymore, all civil and military officials bowed respectfully and shouted long live again.

The young Emperor Yuanzhao stood up from the dragon chair, turned and left without looking back.

Back in the apse, Emperor Longyan was furious.

The ornaments on the imperial table were thrown all over the ground by him and smashed to pieces.
