The princess is so powerful that the fish pond is full of people

Chapter 685: The King of a Country Conquers People with Virtue

Fan Jiang has been in the Dali Temple for many years and has seen all kinds of serious cases. Just a few words from him can make everyone in the hall drop their jaws in shock. The case of the floating corpse in Beihai is extremely unclear, and the ministers in the court have tacitly agreed not to mention it again. Only this counselor is relentless and is probably in collusion with the northern border.

"Extraordinary? Can't be confused with ordinary cases? May I ask, Master, what kind of case is considered ordinary? We only have one life. The dead are the greatest. People are dead. Do we still need to argue about their status?"

Liang Chongyue sat on the dragon throne, quietly listening to the two people arguing in the hall. Fan Jiang was indeed the most quick-tongued person in the Dali Temple, and even those from the Censorate could not defeat him.

Seeing that the noise was getting more and more intense, Liang Chongyue lost interest in watching the fun.

"enough."

As soon as His Majesty said this, the Hall of Supreme Harmony immediately became quiet, and everyone's eyes were focused on the dragon throne at the top.

"I have already made a decision on the Beihai Garden matter, but the Grand Counselor is right. The end of the year is approaching, and we should not cause the people to panic over this matter."

Liang Chongyue paused for a moment, waiting for the officials in the hall to react, before continuing:

"Where did the Counselor hear about this?"

Hearing His Majesty's question, the Imperial Counselor began to take the matter seriously and immediately turned his head away without even giving Fan Jiang a spare glance.

"Your Majesty, when I returned home yesterday, I heard people discussing this matter on Chang'an Street."

Chang'an Avenue is the most prosperous commercial street in the capital, and Wangjiang Tower and Lanxu Pavilion are both on that street.

Chang'an Avenue runs straight from the city gate to the outside of the Meridian Gate, with countless turns. Liang Chongyue didn't care about the vagueness of the censor's words. He raised his hand and Ping An immediately stepped forward to obey his orders:

"Take the clerk and the Imperial Counselor to Chang'an Street and copy down everything the people are saying. Return when you have two pages full."

Although the court session was early, Chang'an Street was always the first to become bustling. Upon hearing this, the Imperial Counselor's face instantly turned grim, and he couldn't help but open his mouth to argue for what he had just said:

"Your Majesty, the people's debates are beyond our control. It's only the morning hour now, and the people are busy with their daily lives, so it's inevitable that they will discuss this matter."

The incense burner in the corner of the Hall of Supreme Harmony had just extinguished a stick of incense. Liang Chongyue ignored the arguments of the Imperial Counselor, saying that it was him that the people were talking about, but now he said that the people might not always be talking about him.

"Don't you find what you said ridiculous, Grand Counselor? I've asked you to say everything. What do you want?"

Fan Jiang didn't give him any face at all. He saw that His Majesty was about to teach this man a lesson. If he didn't say a few words to him, he would miss this opportunity.

Judging from Your Majesty's temper, the position of the Counselor may be replaced by someone else tomorrow.

When Ping'an stepped forward to take the man away, he saw that the censor was unwilling to leave, so he covered his mouth with his hand and carried the man away.

He was trained under Your Majesty, but it is not obvious on a daily basis. It is not easy to deal with a minister who is not even capable of tying a chicken.

After the Counselor left, the court fell into a brief silence. The ministers who had wanted to make a request today silently clenched the tablets in their hands and lowered their heads. They didn't know what had happened to the Counselor today and why he had offended the emperor. They didn't even dare to say a word for fear of bringing bad luck to the emperor.

"My dear ministers, if you have nothing to report, please go to the side hall and wait. When you return, join me in hearing about the most pressing concerns of the people these days."

After saying that, Liang Chongyue guessed that they probably didn't dare to say anything at this moment, so he stood up and walked towards the inner hall.

When he arrived at the inner hall, Liang Chongyue took off his heavy outer robe and took the milk tea served by the palace servant. He drank a cup and sat down in front of the dragon table. He didn't even have time to rest. He looked at the memorials that he had not finished reading. It was more like he was attending court in a different place.

"Your Majesty, I have sent someone to serve breakfast to all the adults. They are now seated in the side hall."

Liang Chongyue nodded lightly, and Yunling stood beside His Majesty, grinding ink for him.

"Host, do you want me to check on this brainless counselor?"

Liang Chongyue looked at the memorial without even raising his head and directly refused:

"No, a fool is not worthy of serving in the court."

Liang Chongyue didn't care whether this person was a spy planted in the court by the Northern Territory. Such a brainless fool was not worthy of being reused and would be executed when he returned.

The system watched the host busying itself, and silently walked out holding its big meat stick in its mouth. If it were in the past, it would have gone to play with Minglang.

I don't know what stimulated Minglang recently. After getting up early to practice martial arts, he took a short break after breakfast and then started reading. He became just like the host in the past. He is worthy of being the host's biological son. He has unlocked his mind for reading at a certain age.

The system, holding the bone in its mouth, had nothing to do, so it strolled to the side hall where officials were having a meal. It walked in after hearing the voice of its grandfather.

The gate was knocked open by it from the outside, and the officials in the side hall saw the big dog that His Majesty had raised for many years appear. Because the dog was so big, they were a little scared at first and even dared not eat breakfast. It was not until they saw Duke Dingguo call the dog away that everyone's tension and worry gradually subsided.

"Grandfather~"

The system jumped around my grandfather several times. The people sitting next to my grandfather were all military generals. He had become familiar with them in the border system back then, and someone would feed him whenever he got close.

Iris, who was following behind the system, was holding a food bowl in her hand. When she saw an official feeding the puppy, she immediately put the food bowl away. The puppy never ate food that fell on the ground.

The atmosphere in the side hall became much more relaxed due to the appearance of the system. Everyone had heard about the puppy that His Majesty had raised since he was a child. Now seeing that the puppy was not only tall but also extremely intelligent, and since they were both boys, they couldn't help but like it.

After Iris returned from the side hall, Liang Chongyue heard about this and continued to review the memorials:

"The puppy can't sit still, let it play."

At this time on Chang'an Street, Ping'an, the censor and the clerk were sitting in a carriage, listening to the morning smell of fireworks in the capital, and no one was talking about what was happening in Beihai Garden.

"Your Excellency, please quickly recall where you heard this yesterday, lest His Majesty and the others be kept waiting."

The Counselor felt much more at ease when he heard that no one outside was talking about this matter. Just because no one was talking about it today didn't mean that no one was talking about it yesterday. When he came to the emperor, he could just say that it was just a coincidence.

"I remember it was near Wangjiang Tower, but the shops near Wangjiang Tower are just opening at this time, so I might not be able to hear it."

After saying this, the Imperial Counselor stroked his beard and sighed deeply, as if expressing regret for not being able to hear about this matter.

Ping'an has been with His Majesty for many years and has not tolerated his bad temper. If His Majesty, as the king of a country, had not wanted to win people over with virtue, this old man would have already reported to the gates of the underworld.
