Chapter 471 Abuse of power

Chapter 471 Abuse of power
The next day, Zhao Guangyuan went to court normally.

He looked normal on the outside, but in his heart he was thinking about how to use Yan Jingzheng's line. Yan Jingzheng is talented, capable, and insists on his own way. He is a useful person.

So in the end he let him go.

Yan Jingzhi couldn't bear to hurt Changzhi, and he couldn't bear to hurt him either.

It’s not just that I don’t want to alert others.

Yan Jingzhe is a smart man, he will know what he means. Yan Jingzheng wants to assist Mingjun, but the prince must be that Mingjun? He did not hide his strength in front of Yan Jingzheng.

He could see that there were cracks in the faith that Yan Jingzheng held on to.

If the prince cannot ascend to the throne in the end, the path he wants to take and the belief in assisting the wise king will not exist. Yan Jingzheng will not turn himself into a traitor.

Just as he was thinking about how to use Yan Jingzheng for his own purposes, he heard an imperial envoy impeaching him...

"Your Majesty, the King of Yue abused his power and ordered his guards to seal the nine gates in the capital. Long queues formed at the gates of each city, making it difficult for the people to get in and out. According to the "Qi Law", this has constituted the crime of abuse of power."

"Qi Lu" In the nearly three hundred years since the founding of the dynasty, the punishments for princes and civil and military ministers who exercised power without authorization have been extremely severe. It's just that no noble person would use his power. Isn't it because he wanted to gain some personal benefits for himself and his family by taking the imperial examination and becoming an official?

No one has ever jumped out to say who has taken authority.

When all the ministers in the hall heard this, they were all stunned.

Zhao Guangyuan turned around and looked directly at the position of the imperial envoy, "This king has taken over the power, what should I do?"

As soon as Yue Zhan heard that the King of Yue had recognized him, he immediately used his three-inch tongue to tell about the previous dynasties, the previous dynasties, which example, saying that there was a precedent, and there were examples of officials who were hanged because they took power...

Zhao Guangyuan laughed angrily, "I finally returned to the capital from the imperial mausoleum, and am I going to be hanged again? I don't even have to guard the imperial mausoleum, so I can just be buried there with my imperial grandfather?"

Everyone felt sad when they heard his joking words. I feel that occupying the imperial envoy is a bit much.

Jiang Xiang jumped up, pointed at the imperial envoy and cursed: "Half a month ago, your wife and daughter passed by a beautiful place. Regardless of the wishes of the people, they forcibly drove them away. If they want to be hanged, let's hang your wife and daughter first!"

"And you," pointing to another official, "every time you go out on the street, you have your servants clear the way, drive away the crowd, and hang you! And you...and you..."

Jiang Xiang pointed to a circle of officials, most of whom were from the prince and the King of Qin.

Isn't it said that one has the authority to exercise authority? Come on, no one has ever used authority to exercise authority once or twice.

King Qin watched Jiang Xiang and Zhan Yushi scold each other, and the corners of his mouth curled up. Looking at the prince and the King of Yue, the prince would never try to win over Lao Qi from now on. It would be nice if Lao Qi didn't hate him.

He also received news about what happened yesterday. He was kidnapping someone. He couldn't get any effective information. He became angry and hinted that Zhan Yushi should give Lao Qi eye drops?

He looked at King Chu and remained silent. He loves to watch dog-eat-dog scenes.

The whole hall was buzzing with noise, and more and more officials were being dragged into trouble. The officials were afraid of being noticed by the emperor, so those who were singled out defended themselves one after another, and the hall became noisy.

The noise caused Emperor Zheng to have a headache, so he shouted to stop.

His eyes swept around the hall, and his eyes fell on Yushi Zhan, Jiang Xiang, and King Yue.

Jiang Xiang is still the same, standing by Lao Qi as always. He was afraid that others would not know that he was as close as Lao Qi. And Zhan Yushi became the prince?
The King of Yue made so much noise yesterday that he almost rolled out the carpet in the city to look for someone. Emperor Zhizheng could not possibly not know about it.

The King of Yue could not have his own heir, so he raised the boy named Lin as his heir. Emperor Zhizheng saw his care for him. When the person disappeared, he became anxious, not to mention the King of Yue. But those who deserve to be scolded still have to be scolded, "The King of Yue used his power arbitrarily and sealed nine gates of the capital, making it difficult for the people to travel. He should be punished."

No matter how you say it, the King of Yue is his flesh and blood. He has a noble status. The entire Da Qi belongs to their Zhao family. What's wrong with the King of Yue exercising a little power as a prince?

It's not serious yet.

The imperial envoy cited examples from previous dynasties and said how those who took advantage of power should be hanged. Emperor Zhizheng felt that he had gone too far, and the matter of King Yue was not the same thing as those people.

But since the incident started due to the king of Yue, and it was revealed in the palace that various officials were taking advantage of their power, it was impossible not to crack down on him.

"The king of Yue abused his power and was fined half a year's salary to serve as a warning to others."

"My son, I respect your order." Zhao Guangyuan cupped his hands to thank him. After that, he glanced at the prince lightly.

The prince smiled and nodded towards him.

When Emperor Zhizheng saw it, he scanned all his sons. Suddenly he remembered something and said: "In a few days, it will be the late emperor's death..."

Every year on the occasion of the late emperor's death, the emperor either went to the Ancestral Temple to worship in person, or asked the prince to go there to offer sacrifices. When the emperor mentioned this, the prince straightened his face and straightened his body.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Zhizheng only glanced at him, and his eyes fell on King Jin, "Prince Jin was ill last year and did not go to the Ancestral Temple to worship. This year, he should be punished to make up for it. King Jin will officiate."

King Jin on the side thought he heard it wrong, "Huh?" He looked blankly at Emperor Zhizheng who was looking up.

The prince clenched his fists in his sleeves. He is the crown prince, and regardless of his status, he is the eldest among the brothers. But now his father asks King Jin to preside over the ceremony, and asks him to follow King Jin and listen to his orders?

King Qin and King Chu frowned.

Zhao Guangyuan, on the other hand, remained calm. During the ten years he spent in the imperial mausoleum, he had offered sacrifices to the late emperor countless times. He didn't even want to go to the Ancestral Temple, so it didn't matter who performed the sacrifices to him.

In the Yue Palace, Lin Zhaoxia chatted with Ma in the flower hall.

Yesterday, she heard that Changzhi was missing. Ma was so anxious that she burst into tears. The child grew up on her milk and was raised by her as twins with Hele. When she heard that he was missing, it felt like a piece of her heart was missing.

Lin Jingning thought about how when she was a child, she fought with He Le for father and mother, holding his thigh and calling him daddy, sleeping squeezed between him and Ma, and looking for him together with the palace guards as if they were lifting a carpet in the city.

Hearing that Changzhi had been found and was left to study in the courtyard without seeing anyone, Mrs. Ma breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't let Changzhi go out these days. Study hard with your husband in the house."

It scared her to death yesterday.

"If parents know this, they might get angry."

Lin Zhaoxia nodded, she could see her parents' love for Chang Zhi in her eyes. Thinking of the identities of his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law, even if he wanted to take a look, he couldn't come out. I felt a little regretful.

I thought that I would definitely ask for a favor for them in the future, change their status for them, and reunite them as a family in the future.

"Why did you catch Chang Zhi?" Ma's brows furrowed tightly. Changzhi's identity was kept secret from them, and even the second roommate didn't know.

"It wasn't the second roommate who revealed it, right? The second brother has now gone to work as the shopkeeper of King Chu's Buzhuang, and the number of visits to King Chu's palace has also increased."

This second brother is afraid that he will go far away from his family members.

Mrs. Ma was extremely lucky that her parents made the decision to hide the secret from her second wife, otherwise it would be in danger now that she has grown up.
