"this--"

Censor Tan looked embarrassed. How could he say this?

"It's so hard to say, could this money be embezzled?"

Feng Jiuqing took a step forward. Beads of sweat appeared on Censor Tan's head. He said with a determined heart, "It's not embezzlement, this is my wife's dowry!"

"Oh? So Censor Tan is using your wife's dowry to support a concubine?"

The court immediately began to whisper. They had not expected that Censor Tan, who seemed to be an upright censor who would report everyone he met, would actually use his wife's dowry secretly to support a concubine. This was simply despicable.

As Censor Tan listened to the voices of the people around him, his face turned red and he wished he could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

But Feng Jiuqing did not let him go, and took another step forward, opening his lips and saying: "On the surface, Censor Tan only has one concubine, but in fact he has 18 concubines, is that right or not?"

Censor Tan's face suddenly turned pale. The Grand Tutor wanted him to admit that he had violated the law by taking multiple concubines. He was a seventh-rank official and according to the law he could only have one concubine. But taking multiple concubines was a secret among officials and most people would not talk about it openly.

After all, not everyone is like the Grand Tutor, with an empty backyard.

Censor Tan wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "That is absolutely not the case!"

"Ah."

Feng Jiuqing chuckled and said, "Imperial Censor Tan, you should think carefully before you speak. Lying in front of His Majesty is deceiving the emperor and you should be executed if you are guilty."

Censor Tan finally realized that the Grand Tutor was not there to help him but to cause trouble for him, but he had no power to resist in front of the Grand Tutor.

But the words were out of his mouth, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "I have always abided by the law, and this is absolutely not the case."

"Really? Do you need me to have them brought to the Golden Palace? Qi Nian, go and help Censor Tan to bring all his concubines to show to the ministers."

Qi Nian said excitedly: "Yes!"

Censor Tan slid to his knees on the ground with a plop and said in pain, "No need, I admit it."

Feng Jiuqing took another step forward and opened his mouth again: "Among them, the seventeenth concubine was coveted by you, and you coerced and lured a good girl to be your concubine. Is this true?"

Censor Tan was about to refute, but when he met Feng Jiuqing's cold eyes, he swallowed the words back and said weakly, "Yes."

The sound of Feng Jiuqing's footsteps sounded so harsh to Censor Tan.

"I have heard that Censor Tan had an affair with a maid during his mourning period and also took a concubine as his concubine. Is that true or not? Censor Tan, there is no need to rush to refute. Since I dare to say it, why don't you guess whether I have any evidence in my hand?"

It's over! It's all over!

With such a serious charge of filial impiety, his whole life is over. Not to mention his reputation, everyone will spit on him if he walks on the street now!

He looked ashen and said, "Yes."

Feng Jiuqing's eyes became colder and colder: "This is only part of the crimes he committed. He is unfilial to his father, disloyal to the emperor, unkind to the people, and unjust to his wife! Such an unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unjust person who treats the laws of Dai Viet as a joke, how can he have the face to be the Imperial Censor of Dai Viet!"

"Come here, strip him of his official uniform, parade him through the city, and have someone read out his crimes. After the parade, punish him according to the law to serve as a warning to others!"

"Your Majesty, is this punishment reasonable?"

It so happened that Feng Jiuqing was planning to ask Mo Ling to rectify the administration of officials recently and had collected a lot of evidence on people. Censor Tan insisted on bumping into him, so Feng Jiuqing fulfilled his wish!

Don't you want fame?

Feng Jiuqing made his name known throughout the streets and alleys!

As expected of the Grand Tutor, he is so cruel. He is going to ruin Tan Qi's reputation! Many ministers moved aside, physically away from Feng Jiuqing.

After directly punishing him, they came back to question him. Mo Ling's eyes darkened, but this censor did deserve to die.

"allow."

After Censor Tan was dragged out, Feng Jiuqing glanced at the ministers and said softly, "Are there any of you who agree with Censor Tan and think that Ming Qing is a lowly and coquettish person who seduces the master? Why not stand up and argue with this Grand Tutor?"

It turns out that the Grand Tutor is supporting Ming Qing!

The ministers looked at each other. Now that Censor Tan has met with such a fate, who else would dare to stand up? They would be courting death!

Feng Jiuqing looked at the people who dared not even breathe and asked softly, "Is there no one?"

The ministers lowered their heads and dared not speak.

Feng Jiuqing walked back slowly and sat back on the armchair. "I might as well tell you that Mingqing is the Iris of the past. If you are also capable of forcing Nanzhao to retreat on your own, it is not too late to scold Mingqing!"

"But since you don't have the courage to come out and argue with me, if I hear you say anything slanderous about Ming Qing again, please consider whether you are qualified or not!"

Mingqing is actually Iris!

Not to mention other people, even Jian Han, who knew Feng Jiuqing's identity, was stunned. It was outrageous that the Grand Tutor could play the piano and dance. How much had the Grand Tutor hidden from them?

If Ming Qing is Iris, then she is truly worthy of the position of Queen! Many ministers thought so in their hearts.

Prime Minister Lu felt a pain in his heart. His son was so outstanding, but he knew nothing about him and even used words similar to those used by Censor Tan to insult him.

The pain in his heart gradually spread, and Prime Minister Lu covered his heart. He really didn't deserve to be Ming Qing's father!

Mo Ling borrowed Feng Jiuqing's words and said, "Mingqing is undoubtedly Iris. My Qingqing is both talented and martial arts are top-notch, and he once intimidated Nanzhao for Dayue. With such merits, he can be made a marquis or a prime minister. My Qingqing has a good character and a gentleman's demeanor, and is more than qualified to be the queen."

His Majesty and the Grand Tutor have said so, what else can they do?

Except for Prime Minister Lu, Bai Yunjin, Jian Han, Qi Nian and Feng Jiuqing who was sitting, all the other ministers knelt and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Mo Ling said in a deep voice: "Since this is the case, I will order the Imperial Astronomical Observatory to immediately select an auspicious day and confer Mingqing as the queen."

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Jian Han looked at Feng Jiuqing who remained silent, Prime Minister Lu was too sad to speak, Qi Nian looked as if he had eaten a fly, and Bai Yunjin only wanted to stare at his wife.

"I have objections."

Feng Jiuqing's voice was soft, but loud enough for Mo Ling and the other ministers to hear.

Mo Ling frowned: "Emperor Master?"

The ministers below also had doubts in their hearts. Didn't the Grand Tutor just raise Ming Qing's status and make him eligible to become the queen? Why did he object again now?

Feng Jiuqing raised his eyes and looked at Mo Ling coldly, "Your Majesty is not in a hurry to rectify the administration this time, but is thinking about the harem instead. Do you want to keep a parasite like Censor Tan to bring disaster to Dayue?"

Mo Ling said in a deep voice: "That is not what I meant."

Feng Jiuqing sneered: "Your Majesty should pay more attention to government affairs, so as not to make people think that Your Majesty is addicted to the harem and unworthy of being a king."

Feng Jiuqing's words were a bit harsh. Mo Ling looked at him steadily and said, "Rectifying the administration of officials and enthroning Mingqing are not contradictory. Why did the Imperial Master stop it?"

Feng Jiuqing chuckled: "Mingqing is a man from my house. I cherish him very much. But when he came to your majesty's palace, he became a weed on the roadside. Anyone can spit on him."

"Your Majesty, since you have killed him, why do you have to pretend to confer a title on him posthumously? I was far away from him when he was alive and failed to protect him. Now, Your Majesty, do you think I am dead too? Or does Your Majesty really want me to explain clearly all the cruel and ungrateful things you did to Ming Qing?"
