Playing bad and eating melons: The whole court is laughing? No, no

Minister Jiang was so angry that his beard stood on end, but he could do nothing when he saw his daughter was concentrating.

In this way, before they knew it, they arrived at the palace gate.

The father and daughter got off the carriage, and Jiang Yueyang, wearing official uniform, was equally conspicuous.

But the adults didn't dare to look at Jiang Yueyang and whisper to each other like they did yesterday, let alone meet her gaze.

Because they were afraid that they would become the target of her gossip.

Jiang Yueyang and a group of new colleagues passed through the palace gate and came to the gate of the Hall of Supreme Harmony. After a while, they lined up to enter the hall.

Jiang Yueyang's rank was the fifth grade, and he was standing right in front of the Qingping County Magistrate.

Her father stood behind the left prime minister.

As for why the county magistrate was able to attend court, it was because of his outstanding political achievements and his jurisdiction within the capital, so he was invited by Emperor Yuan to attend court.

In the court of the Great Xia Dynasty, except for officials above the rank of Shangshu of the six ministries, the rest were divided into two ranks according to their rank, and then arranged in order of rank.

Jiang Yueyang was standing at the back of the line. She thought this position was good and convenient for her to slack off.

After everyone had stood still, Emperor Yuan appeared with the chief eunuch.

As soon as he sat down, Qin Shi, who was standing next to Jiang Yueyang, stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, yesterday I checked the examination papers of Mr. Wu from the Ministry of Rites and also got his manuscript from his home. After comparing them, I found that the handwriting of the two is completely different.

Therefore, I compared the examination papers of all the candidates and finally confirmed that the handwriting on the examination paper of candidate Li Cheng is exactly the same as that of Master Wu.

No one present reacted much to the result, especially those officials who were fooled by Jiang Yueyang yesterday.

Because they knew that what Jiang Yueyang said was true, they were not surprised at all.

Seeing that Emperor Yuan and the others didn't interrupt, Qin Shi continued, "This proves that Lord Wu did cheat. Furthermore, my investigation revealed that the candidate named Li Cheng died mysteriously six days after the results were released, and his family also passed away one after another."

Everything he said matched Jiang Yueyang's thoughts.

Some were secretly excited, while others were terrified.

Jiang Yueyang glanced at Qin Shi with admiration, and whispered to the system, "Qin Shi is incredibly efficient. He's already found so much in just half a day. No wonder he became the Junior Minister of the Dali Temple at such a young age."

Qin Shi is twenty-one this year, which is quite young.

At his age, there are very few people who have achieved such success.

Hearing Jiang Yueyang's praise, Qin Shi couldn't help but curl his lips slightly, feeling happy.

But the next second, the happiness disappears instantly.

Jiang Yueyang then added, "I'm a little silly when it comes to girls, and I'm easily fooled."

Qin Shi: "..." Is this matter impossible to resolve?

The system laughed heartily, [Is it the same as your Majesty?]

All the civil and military officials raised their eyebrows and instantly became much more alert. Are they going to eat the emperor's melon next?

Emperor Yuan was afraid that Jiang Yueyang would tell the prince that she was cuckolded, so he quickly gave the prince a look.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince immediately said, "Father, I feel there's something fishy about Candidate Li Cheng's death. I suspect Lord Wu murdered him to silence him, fearing the truth would be exposed."

"I have the same suspicion." Qin Shi agreed knowing the answer.

"check!"

"Yes!" Qin Shi responded and said nothing more.

Afterwards, some officials impeached so-and-so's family members for riding horses to injure people, so-and-so for accepting bribes, and so-and-so's clansmen for occupying people's land... The court suddenly became lively.

The impeached person defended himself on the spot. The horseman said that the injury was not serious, and he made compensation at the time and obtained the forgiveness of the injured person.

Those who accepted bribes denied it flatly and asked the officials who were being impeached to produce evidence.

Those who had encroached on people's land said on the spot that they would conduct a thorough investigation after returning, and if anyone in the tribe had really encroached on people's land, they would be severely punished.

Jiang Yueyang watched them quarreling from the side and enjoyed it very much.

Little did they know that those people were very panicked, afraid that she would get involved. By then, no matter how she defended herself, it would be useless.

Half an hour later, they finished arguing.

Jiang Yueyang waited for a while, but seeing no one came forward to speak, he adjusted his hat, picked up his tablet, and prepared to step out to do something important.

But just as she took one step forward, an official at the front of the next line stepped out before her.

Jiang Yueyang looked at the back: "..."

She said to Xiaogua in dissatisfaction: "Who is that person? He didn't say anything earlier or later, but chose to cut in line when I was about to speak."

Duke Su, who had cut in line, retreated silently and explained, "I just had a leg cramp."

Emperor Yuan suppressed a laugh and asked, "Do you want to bring a chair?"

"No, I'm much better now."

[So it's a leg cramp?] Jiang Yueyang looked around again and again, [No one will snatch it from me now, right?]

Everyone: "Ancestor, we know you're going to speak, no one dares to interrupt you. Speak quickly, the sooner you die, the sooner you can be reborn."

After making sure no one was competing with her for the throne, Jiang Yueyang stepped out of the group, holding the tablet and bowing lightly, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Emperor Yuan raised his chin to signal her to speak if she had anything to say.

Jiang Yueyang: "I would like to give you a suggestion."

"Oh?" Emperor Yuan was very interested. "Tell me about it?"

"I think that attending court too early will harm your lifespan. It can be postponed appropriately."

Emperor Yuan asked, "How can this shorten one's lifespan?"

Jiang Yueyang replied seriously, "Your Majesty, I have been attending court before dawn. Lack of sleep will shorten my lifespan. Moreover, many of my colleagues don't even have time to eat breakfast in order not to be late. If this continues, their health will surely collapse. Poor health will naturally shorten their lifespan."

A sage once said that among the three meals a day, the most important one is the morning meal. Skipping it will cause great harm to the body, especially the stomach!

Moreover, only when we are in good health can we better serve Your Majesty."

Emperor Yuan felt that what she said made some sense, but he was still puzzled and asked, "Which saint said this? Why haven't I heard of it?"

[Little melon, which saint said this? ]

Everyone: "..."

Emperor Yuan: So you don’t know?

System: [Host, don't you check your draft before you start making up stories? I'm the "Eating Watermelon" system, not Baidu Encyclopedia.]

Jiang Yueyang put her hands on her hips and retorted to the system, "I'm not making this up. Everything I said is scientifically based. It's just that it wasn't said by a saint, but by an expert."

"Then you can tell His Majesty that it was a scientific sage who said that. He can't find a sage anyway."

Emperor Yuan: “…”

Jiang Yueyang did not adopt the system's idea, but said: "Your Majesty, I have forgotten which saint said this, but I guarantee that what I said is true. If you don't believe me, Your Majesty can ask the imperial physicians. They will definitely understand!"

Please, please accept my advice. I don't want to get up so early, or else... or I'll resign.

[Resigning from office... is difficult! ]

【Then I will resign! 】

Everyone: I support you with both hands and feet!

After hearing this, Emperor Yuan cleared his throat and said, "I think what you said makes sense. It is indeed a bit early to start court at 11:00 AM. So let's change it to 11:00 PM."

Jiang Yueyang blinked, "Agree now? Noon... 8 am... is fine too."

After a while, seeing that Jiang Yueyang had not retreated, Emperor Yuan waved his hand and said, "That's enough, stand back up."

"Your Majesty, I have something else to say."

"I would like to impeach Minister Lin for his incompetent household management and Master Lin for his incompetent parenting."
