Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 63 Ma Fu launches an attack!

During the court meeting, since it was still early, there were usually many lanterns hung high in the palace at this time, and many eunuchs held candles to lead the way for the officials.

The ministers who were qualified to attend court were not as lively as they appeared in some film and television dramas.

The Northern Qi dynasty claimed to be the orthodox dynasty in the world, and everything it did was in compliance with the law and regulations, quite similar to the style of the previous dynasty.

Therefore, since they entered the palace gate, the eunuchs in charge have been recording people's words and deeds for your majesty to refer to at certain times.
Despite this, today was a wrong day, different from usual.

Some court officials smiled as they walked along the long corridor into the most solemn palace of Northern Qi. Although they did not talk to each other along the way, their eyes that looked at each other from time to time were full of information.

In front of the palace, the ministers waited in complete silence.

All the officials looked serious. Some of those who were not well-informed were still surprised: except for a few who claimed to be sick at home, the number of people waiting in front of the palace today seemed to be much less.
At this moment, a eunuch's loud shout came from the side of the palace:
"Your Majesty has arrived! The Queen Mother has arrived!"

The ruler of Northern Qi, Zhan Doudou, who seemed even more powerful, walked into the hall. Behind him, Li Anzhengxu, who was supporting the empress dowager, slowly walked over from the side and stood above him with a gentle smile on his face.

Huh?
How come this Concubine De came to the palace? Humph! I will definitely report her later!
A censor of the Censorate thought to himself
"Long live my emperor."

The ministers in front of the palace knelt respectfully and saluted. The little emperor sat on the dragon throne, and the empress dowager stood behind Li An to the right. Everyone took their seats.
The little emperor glanced at the ministers below and said with a gentle smile, "Everyone stand up."

After the ceremony, the main text begins.

The imperial eunuch Gao Zhongxian stepped forward and said in a sharp voice:

"If you have something to say, please come to court. If you don't, please leave the court~"

Although this sound was no different from the previous ones, many people heard a hint of perfunctory meaning. Even Gao Zhongxian himself understood that his words were completely unnecessary.

But the necessary procedures must be followed. If nothing happens in this hall today, then something strange has happened!

I just hope fewer people die.
"Your servant Ma Fu has something to report!" A figure stepped out and said expressionlessly.

Looking at his appearance, he seems to be upright and dignified, with great character.

Li An smiled slightly, and in a 'rude' manner, he lowered his voice and said in the little emperor's ear: "This man looks very arrogant." The two of them sat high up, far away from the court officials. Except for the empress dowager behind them, there was no one who could hear their conversation.

However, this action angered the "righteous" people below.

The little emperor smiled gently and said, "Play it."

After that, he lowered his head and replied to Li An: "Stop making trouble, it's the morning court! Don't let your mother have a bad impression of you. This person is the Imperial Censor, the deputy general manager you mentioned. It's normal for him to be a little arrogant."

Li Ang did this on purpose, in order to get rid of some of this person's arrogance. Right from the start, a third-rank official came close to him and attacked him. How could he make subsequent major events go smoothly without thwarting the other party's edge?
Seeing His Majesty's little action, Ma Fu, who felt disrespected, blushed and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, please allow me to report! I kowtow and make a remonstrance to impeach the Defei in the harem, saying that she is not worthy of her position!"

"Even though it has been a short time since Consort De was canonized, her virtues are meager, causing unrest in the imperial court and harem. I am entrusted by all officials to make this petition to Your Majesty. I also ask Your Majesty to look into the details and abolish Consort De's position."

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the palace became strangely quiet.
Good guy!
You don't have any foreplay, you just use your ultimate move first when the team fights!

"Oh?" Contrary to everyone's expectations, the little emperor did not seem to be angry after hearing this report. He just asked calmly: "Lord Ma, where did this come from?"

After carefully waiting for the emperor to finish his question, Ma Fu, who had been prepared, loosened his arms and saluted again, saying, "De Fei has three crimes!" He looked up at the expressionless Majesty, and then continued to read aloud, "First, De Fei relied on the favor of your Majesty and the preference of the Queen Mother, and became arrogant and gradually ignored the rules of the harem. Counting the time, it has been more than a month since De Fei entered the East Palace. Not only has she been favored every day, but her attitude towards the Queen Mother has also become increasingly disrespectful."

"This is a crime of disrespect and unfilial piety!"

The little emperor blinked and felt a chill on his back.
This matter is not really Li An's fault, it's all because she was obsessed with him and had sex every night. Even the routine of taking time for him to visit other concubines and talented people was directly cancelled.
"Secondly, the palace rules and national laws are as important as the sky. If you cross the line, you will be guilty! The establishment of the Western Factory has the approval of your majesty, but you privately promoted officials and guards, acted presumptuously, disregarded the law, and disrespected the imperial power."

"This is a crime that violates the ancestral system and the royal law!"

Yeah, this person is right.

Li An nodded imperceptibly.
Looking at Ma Fu, I thought to myself that this man had already chosen his own death! How could a mere outsider like you comment on the people in the harem? Never mind whether you can succeed or not, even if you do, how many people will have a good ending?

You should go ahead and walk slower on the road to the underworld. Then he will send more people down so that the horse will not feel so lonely walking on the road to the underworld.
"Third, he is of humble origin, vulgar and ignorant of etiquette, and is unworthy."

"enough!"

Before Ma Fu could finish his words, the young emperor slammed the table in front of him and stood up in anger, shouting, "How dare you, Ma Fu, make irresponsible comments about the harem! How audacious! How can you do this?"

"Your Majesty! The Xishan Mine case was just a revenge because Lord Wang Lin offended Concubine De! This person is a demon concubine. Not only did he cause a stir in the court, but he also attracted assassins from other countries!"

Although Ma Fu was sweating coldly at this time, he still had to grit his teeth and do it. He said firmly: "This matter has long been known to everyone, and Concubine De still wants to take over the country! With such cruel means, if it continues for a long time, I am afraid that the country will be destroyed, Your Majesty!"

After saying this, he fell completely to the ground, crying and sobbing.

When the little emperor saw this situation, he understood a little bit.

Attacking my beloved concubine is just an overt action, but in reality, it is still blaming me and undermining my prestige!

His heart is truly despicable and he deserves to be killed!

The little emperor sneered, "The Censorate has existed since ancient times. It is to allow speech to flow freely and to supervise the monarch. From this point of view, the Ma family has done a good job!"

"I deserve death, but this is my duty, and I will not regret it even if I die."

Ma Fu tried his best to maintain his posture and explained with a wry smile.

After walking a few steps forward, the little emperor laughed several times, looked around the entire palace, and asked loudly: "I think everyone has heard what Mr. Ma said. I also want to see how many people in the court agree with this statement and how many people oppose it?"

Wherever the Emperor's gaze went, everyone lowered their heads.

Even the prime minister and several university scholars closed their eyes and fell asleep without saying a word.

"Don't be afraid. There is no precedent in this dynasty for people to be punished for their words." The smile on the little emperor's face had disappeared. "Everyone, please tell me your opinion."

"No one can escape!"
