Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"I am the Imperial Censor, responsible for supervising all officials and maintaining order in the court. This is my duty, so why can't I supervise you?"

"You also said that you have the duty to supervise all officials. The problem is, I'm not an official!"

Hearing Wei Wu's twisted logic, Censor Huang's chest was heaving with anger and his eyes were a little blazing.

"you……"

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to scold, Wei Wu took out a piece of golden silk cloth and placed it in front of him.

"I have an imperial decree, allowing His Majesty to see me without kneeling. Do you dare to look?"

"I……"

He was interrupted by Wei Wu just now, but now the censor really doesn’t know what to say.

He has the emperor's special permission and carries the imperial edict with him, so what else can he say?

The key point is that he couldn't even read the imperial edict even if Wei Wu showed it to him.

The emperor's edict has the highest level of authority and is also confidential.

Except for the emperor and the person who received the edict, no one else was allowed to peek into the contents of the imperial edict.

"Since you have the imperial edict and His Majesty's special permission, why didn't you say so earlier? Instead of making trouble here and disturbing the court."

Are you being unreasonable? Your father gave you face, didn't he?

After complaining in his heart, Wei Wu looked towards Lao Zhu calmly.

Noticing a slight smile on Old Zhu's lips, Wei Wu couldn't help but sigh that old ginger is still wise!

This is also one of the reasons why he is unwilling to enter the court. The people in this hall are all made up of their hearts and eyes.

Old Zhu had said before that there would definitely be officials who would oppose this conferment of titles.

Lao Zhu doesn’t know exactly how many people will come out to oppose it, but he doesn’t need to know.

Just press the first one that pops up, and the others will naturally not dare to cause trouble.

And Lao Zhu's current attitude clearly shows that he wants to use himself to warn the guy who stands out.

Since Wei Wu knew what Zhu was thinking, there was nothing for him to worry about.

Okay, if you want to play, then I will just play with you!

Having made up his mind, Wei Wu looked at Censor Huang again.

"Imperial Censor, right? First of all, you never asked me from the beginning whether I had an imperial decree or whether I had His Majesty's special permission. Why should I tell you?"

"Secondly, you said I was being unreasonable, but since I entered the palace, I haven't spoken a single word on my own initiative. Everything I said was in response to your questions."

"I responded so humbly and politely, but it was you, the Imperial Censor, who repeatedly made things difficult for me and finally turned the tables on me."

"You've slandered me for disturbing the court without any evidence. Throughout history, I've never seen anyone as shameless as you."

Censor Huang was completely unable to refute what Wei Wu said because they were all facts.

So at this critical moment, he simply used the shamelessness of a scholar to the extreme.

Censor Huang suddenly waved his sleeves, then turned his head and never looked at Wei Wu again.

"I don't want to argue with you, you bastard."

After saying this, Censor Huang turned around, bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said:

"Your Majesty, I think this is not the right way to reward Wei Wu. This is against etiquette!"

I have to say, these censors just know how to start trouble.

The first thing Censor Huang said was, "This is against etiquette."

The problem is that the so-called ritual system was a very broad concept in the feudal era.

There is no need to talk about "li". The word "zhi" can be said to be applicable to everything related to the system, from home and country to family.

Moreover, he is an imperial censor himself, so what he said is completely in line with his duties.

However, after Huang Yushi finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang did not say anything, but just watched silently.

Because he knew very well that Censor Huang must have more to say.

As expected, Censor Huang then continued:

"Your Majesty, may I ask whether the yield per mu of the crop called potatoes has been verified?"

In response to Huang Yushi's questioning, Zhu Yuanzhang still did not speak and continued to look at him silently.

The emergence of this situation immediately made Censor Huang start to panic.

He had to panic, because the emperor in front of him was not a coward like those in Zhao and Song who allowed themselves to be manipulated by civil servants.

This is a guy who can kill people for three days and three nights without blinking an eye.

Moreover, he was the most powerful founding emperor. Who in the court would not be afraid of him?

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, Censor Huang cursed Li Shanchang in his heart for harming him.

But all he could do was feel helpless and furious in his heart.

If you speak out against the emperor, at most you will be beaten with a stick, which is not a serious crime.

But if I don't do things according to Li Shanchang's wishes, this narrow-minded villain will definitely hold a grudge against me.

If Li Shanchang took action against him, he would at least lose his official position, and he might even lose his life.

It’s a pity that Censor Huang didn’t know the relationship between Wei Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise he wouldn’t think so.

To be honest, with the current situation, Censor Huang is in a difficult situation.

As an imperial censor, it was impossible for him to take back what he had said in the court.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang just watched without answering, so he could only stand there with his head bowed and wait.

If he retreated, it would be considered disrespectful in front of the palace, disrespecting the emperor, and deceiving the monarch. If he didn't retreat, his old waist would suffer.

But at this time he could not ask Li Shanchang for help, otherwise the emperor would definitely notice.

At that time, not only would he offend the emperor, but Li Shanchang would also definitely hold a grudge against him.

Just when Censor Huang was feeling depressed, Zhu Yuanzhang on the dragon throne finally spoke.

"Huang Lang, do you have any objections to our reward?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's voice, Huang Lang secretly groaned in his heart, thinking that the emperor was dissatisfied with him!

Fortunately, the emperor spoke, and he was able to straighten his bent back.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no one has ever bestowed honors or rewards for undeserved merits. Furthermore, this involves a title, so it must be taken seriously."

"I dare not interfere with Your Majesty's reward. I am simply concerned that if the grain yields poorly, granting the reward prematurely may become a laughing stock for future generations."

"It would be safer to first appoint Wei Wu an official position and have him take care of the grain. After verifying the yield per mu, we can then confer a title on him."

However, after Huang Lang finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang only said one sentence next.

"Let me ask you again, do you have any objections to my reward?"

Hearing these words again, Huang Lang's body began to tremble.

At this moment, Li Shanchang was nothing, and his fear of Zhu Yuanzhang reached its peak.

“I…don’t dare!!”

"Don't dare? I think you dare very much!"
