Chapter 228
The good court meeting suddenly broke out, not only Gu Yunji and others outside the hall, but also other officials in the hall were caught off guard, and they were all stunned for a while.

"Don't hit me, don't hit me! You don't even look at this place! Tell you not to fight... Hey! I'm here to persuade you to fight, why are you hitting me! Can you see clearly... Hiss—hey! Come!"

Soon, some officials were the first to react and wanted to go over to fight.However, the crowd was fighting fiercely. They didn't listen to persuasion at all, and didn't look at who they were targeting. They just greeted others with fists and kicks. Either they accidentally injured the officials who persuaded the fight, or they were also involved in the melee, and they couldn't escape at all. .

Some officials were affected and ran away in fright; some were angry and wanted to fight back subconsciously, but unintentionally expanded the battlefield.Originally, there were only a dozen or so courtiers fighting, but after some "persuading and pulling fights", the scale increased instead of decreasing, to twenty or thirty people.

Seeing that all the officials who came forward to fight were "broken", Gu Yuanhui rolled his eyes twice, and immediately covered his chest pretending to be painful, and wailed: "Oh, I can't see this, it scares me, my chest is so tight Terrible, I can't breathe..."

"Lord Fang, help me quickly, I can't stand anymore, I feel so bad..." While Gu Yuanhui was acting, he still didn't forget to hold Fang Shu who wanted to fight, and faced him at a place where Emperor Jing Feng couldn't see. He winked.

At this moment, the fight was fierce, even if the officials who were fighting were not involved, they would get hit twice.As cabinet ministers, Gu Yuanhui and the others would suffer disaster if they stood up in this situation. If they didn't stand up, they would probably be questioned by Emperor Jingfeng afterwards. They might as well find an excuse to hide and clean themselves up.

Fang Shu understood instantly, and immediately cooperated with Gu Yuanhui to act: "Ah! Master Gu, are you okay! You must be scared, sit on the ground and rest!"

Seeing this, the ministers who were close to Gu Yuanhui imitated Fang Shu's appearance and surrounded them, all with exaggerated expressions and contrived tones, for fear that Emperor Jing Feng would not know that he was busy with something, and just used this as an excuse to stay away from the "battlefield".

During the court meeting, the guards of the forbidden army were not allowed to enter without an edict. It was originally to protect the safety of the emperor and courtiers, but now it made the situation unable to be effectively controlled.

Now the main hall is in chaos, no one listens to Emperor Jingfeng's words, and there is no one who can pass the edict.Several guards standing at the entrance of the hall were so shocked that their jaws almost dropped, but they could only watch helplessly, not daring to step into the hall.

The civil and military officials who used to be neatly crowned and upright, now one group is centered on the Liu family and his son, and they are fighting in full swing; They were scattered in every corner of the hall, hiding like quails, for fear of being affected.

Emperor Jing Feng was so angry that his temples were throbbing. After taking a deep breath, he grabbed the whisk from Ning Fuhai's hand, slammed it hard on the armrest of the dragon chair, and shouted almost madly: "Everyone! Stop it for me! If you are like this, you will become, what, body, and order!"

The continuous and loud knocking sound pierced through the chaos and pierced the eardrums of the courtiers. The ministers who were fighting in the melee gradually regained their senses, and finally heard the voice of Emperor Jingfeng, and stopped the movements of their hands one after another. Being entangled together, no one is willing to let go first.

The guards of the imperial army are not allowed to go to the palace without an edict, and the flying fish guard is a bureaucratic organization and is not bound by this article.Just now, the Commander of the Flying Fish Guards saw that the situation was not good, so he was about to go out to call his subordinates waiting outside the hall. At this moment, the Flying Fish Guards arrived just in time, and separated the officials involved in the brawl one by one, and put them all under control, waiting for Emperor Jingfeng Lost.

Seeing that the situation was almost cleared up, Gu Yuanhui recovered from his "illness" in time, and returned to his train with the others one after another.

From Liu Jingnan grabbing the clothes of the officials of the Ministry of Rites to the arrest of the officials, the whole process sounds long, but in fact it only took a cup of tea.

In this short period of a cup of tea, more than 30 officials who participated in the brawl were injured to varying degrees, and the most serious ones were the military officers of Liu Jingnan, whose clothes were too messy to wear, not to mention, all of them had bruised noses and swollen faces. , the hair has been pulled out a lot.

Throwing the whisk back to Ning Fuhai, Emperor Jingfeng's blood surged up, his mind couldn't stop being dizzy, and he sat back on the dragon chair.

Emperor Jingfeng didn't speak, and the others naturally didn't dare to speak out rashly. The Fengtian Hall was so quiet that only Liu Jingnan and others' restrained soft hiss could be heard.

After a while, Emperor Jingfeng rubbed his temples, without raising his head, and said in a serious tone: "All the ministers who participated in the brawl just now will be given ten court sticks, fined for one year, and confined at home for three months. They are not allowed to leave without an order."

The rank of officials who can enter the palace to participate in the court meeting is not low, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the mainstay of the court.There are more than 30 ministers involved in the incident, and it is good to say that the fines are fined. If they are locked up at home and cannot be on duty, the government offices of various ministries may be paralyzed.

Thinking of this, Emperor Jingfeng added: "During the confinement period, everyone's official duties should be taken to their homes to handle, and anyone who is negligent will be severely punished."

After dealing with the ministers who were fighting, Emperor Jing Feng raised his head and glanced at Gu Yuanhui and the others, with a hint of anger in his voice: "There are also other ministers in the hall, except Qin Quan, the commander of Feiyuwei, who failed to stop them, and all of them will be fined." Half a year!"

It can be said that there is no precedent in the history of the court fight. It sounds outrageous and absurd, and it is bound to leave a very special page in the history books.Gu Yuanhui didn't expect to be able to retire unscathed today. Compared with the Liu family father and son who will be the most concerned by historians in the future, a half-year salary penalty is already the best result.

The officials bowed their heads and said, "Your servant will be punished."

Emperor Jing Feng was really worried, so he pointed to the ministers who participated in the fight and said to Fei Yuwei: "Take them down quickly and punish them, I feel a headache when I see them!"

"His Majesty!"

Seeing that today was about to end like this, Liu Qingli panicked and argued: "The dog was the most injured, which shows how cruel these people have done! I implore your majesty to find out the truth, determine the culprit, and punish him severely. Dogs are fair!"

Emperor Jingfeng stared at him for a long while, then smiled suddenly, his eyes showing chills: "If you don't tell the Marquis of Xuanyang, I will forget that it was Liu Jingnan who took the lead in making the move before. Isn't your son the culprit for today's accident?" Is it? Then according to Xuanyang Hou's intention, the culprit will be severely punished!"

"Liu Jingnan, the vice-commander of the Imperial Army, provoked trouble at the court meeting and injured the court officials, causing the situation to escalate. He cannot escape the blame. Thirty court sticks, a three-year salary, and his resignation from the post of deputy commander!"

Liu Qingli didn't expect that his own words would intensify his son's punishment, he breathed heavily in his chest, and almost fainted, but he heard Emperor Jingfeng say: "Also, when Xuanyanghou is old, the ten court sticks There is no penalty."

"However, the court's legal principles should not be biased, so Liu Jingnan will accept it on behalf of his father. The original thirty court sticks plus ten court sticks will make a total of forty court sticks. Let's drag them out!"

Liu Qingli rolled his eyes when he heard the words, couldn't take it anymore, and passed out.
