Starting from the world of Joy of Life

Chapter 67 I, Ye Zheng, am a loyal minister who works for the country and not for myself!
Today's court meeting is a little unusual.

In the past two days, papers were flying all over the city, the Minister of Rites was taken away by the Inspection Bureau, and Zhu Ge, the director of the Inspection Bureau, suddenly disappeared...

Which of the Beijing officials who attend the court is not a shrewd person?
When they smelled that the wind was blowing in the wrong direction, no one dared to be the first to speak out.

Therefore, everything was done according to procedures and formalities, and the matters reported were all trivial.

On the throne, Emperor Qing remained calm and composed.

Chen Pingping, he was aware of all the movements of the Inspection Institute.

He also wanted to take this opportunity to see if there were any fish...

Suddenly, a tall figure stepped out from the back of the military troupe and said, "Your Majesty, I, Ye Zheng, the commander of the Military Department, have a memorial to submit."

Ye Zheng?

Emperor Qing narrowed his eyes.

Why is this kid... impeached?
“Who do you want to impeach?”

Emperor Qing spoke in a calm tone.

In fact, behind the bamboo curtain, there was a hint of amusement in his eyes.

"Your Highness, I impeach Princess Li Yunrui."

"He has two crimes. The first is that he ignored the laws of his ancestors and allowed the harem to interfere in government affairs. This is like a hen crowing at dawn, which is a disaster for the family!"

"Secondly, he betrayed his officers and men, collaborated with the enemy and betrayed his country. He is truly a traitor to the country!"

Ye Zheng finished speaking.

The Taiji Hall fell into silence.

Even among the leaders of the civil and military classes, Lin Ruofu and Qin Ye had a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Ye Family Boy...

What is the plan?
Going crazy is impossible.

The two glanced at the young man standing in the hall like a green pine.

Various speculations flashed through my mind.

Among the civil and military classes, high-ranking officials looked at each other furtively, exchanged glances, but remained silent.

If these people don't move, Emperor Qing will not move either.

He had two curiosities.

First, the intention of this kid from the Ye family.

Second, who will jump out next?

"I wonder if Commander Ye has any proof. If not, he is insulting the royal family!"

There was silence in the hall for a long time. It would be bad if the situation remained deadlocked. A censor came out and started to accuse people.

It’s an old trick of the Censor-in-Chief.

Ye Zheng took a look and the father pointed at it and taught him how to recognize it.

It was Yu Guang who impeached him in the last arms case.

They are also old acquaintances.

"I am the emperor's lackey. I report what I hear and share your worries. This is my duty. You officials, who don't know how to supervise current affairs, criticize what you hear, and rectify the government, how dare you stop me?"

We are old acquaintances, why should he be polite?
Open!
It happened that his father was not here today, and Lao Taishan had taken a leave. Without any constraints, he would definitely make a strong "speech of righteousness and advice for the country"!
"This is a private matter of the royal family. How can you, an outsider, interfere?"

Another censor came out, um... Chu Jian, who helped old man Qin to get away with it last time.

Still hostile to him, keep arguing with him!
"I eat the emperor's salary, and you are also my father. When I see the thieves smearing the emperor and father's glorious crown, I should speak up. You have no emperor and no father, and you are unworthy of being a minister. Stop making noise!"

Censors value their reputation the most. After Ye Zheng fired his gun, how could they sit still?

Apart from the Left Censor-in-Chief and Hong Ying, who was familiar with Ye Zheng, there were not many censors left.

"How dare you humiliate us?"

"How can I, the Censor-in-Chief, give advice that requires you, a military commander, to interfere?"

"The child is arrogant and domineering, how arrogant and rude!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to reprimand me and depose me!"

"... "

There was no serious content in this speech, most of it was just accusations, and in the end it was just asking Emperor Qing for punishment.

Unexpectedly, just as they finished talking, people among the military officers stood up one after another.

"Your Majesty, I, Yang Jin, think that Commander Ye is absolutely right. I second your opinion!"

"Your Majesty, I second the motion, Gu Jianfeng!" "Your Majesty, I second the motion, Liu Gu!"

"Your Majesty, your subject Tan..."

"His Majesty…"

Almost all the founding heroes were present.

In an instant, dark clouds covered the Taiji Hall.

The group of civil servants and upstarts seemed to see a vicious wolf waiting for an opportunity to take a big bite of the royal family!
"You, do you want to rebel?" Yu Guang pointed at the group of people, his voice trembling.

"Suggestions for the country!"

"When those censors make suggestions, it's just a suggestion. When we, the military heroes, make suggestions, it's a rebellious intention?"

"You are so used to making random accusations, censor!"

"Yu Shi, please be careful with your words!"

"... "

The founding heroes no longer have the arrogance they had a decade ago, which is enough to break people's backbones and destroy their flesh and blood!
Even so, their old teeth are still sharp!

More than a decade of accumulated resentment and hatred are now returned!

"Commander Ye, do you want to make His Majesty's brother and sister kill each other?" Han Zhicheng, the Minister of Justice, stepped out, went straight to the source and scolded.

Ye Zheng did not back down. "Why did Minister Han say such hurtful words? If Li Yunrui really had some brotherly love for His Majesty, how could he have caused such a disaster? He is collaborating with the enemy and treason, and he should be executed!"

"Shut up!" Han Zhicheng shouted.

He then bowed to Emperor Qing and said, "Your Majesty, these young boys have violated the royal family. This is extremely disrespectful and unforgivable. According to the law, their entire family should be executed!"

The Minister of Justice has a decent foundation in law.

"Your Majesty, these are purely words from the bottom of my heart, please understand them!" Ye Zheng bowed deeply and said earnestly.

As he bowed, the founding heroes beside him knelt down one after another.

"Your Majesty, please understand!"

"Your Majesty, the female disaster cannot be left alone!"

"Your Majesty, I am loyal to you!"

"His Majesty…"

"quiet!"

The quarrel broke out again, but Eunuch Hou stopped it in time.

After the noise died down, he took a half step back, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and glanced at Ye Zheng who stood out among the crowd.

Ouch, Lord Xiaoye, this time you have caused a terrible disaster.

Behind the bamboo curtain, Emperor Qing looked at Ye Zheng, whose back was as sharp as a knife, with a complicated look in his eyes and a plan in mind.

After a long while, he spoke, "Ye Zheng, you said that the princess interfered in government affairs, do you have any evidence? You said that the princess collaborated with the enemy and committed treason, do you have any evidence?"

"Your Majesty, rumors are spreading everywhere. I am devoted to the country of Qing. I..."

"Then there is no evidence, and you are committing adultery." Emperor Qing interrupted him and said sternly, "I am concerned that you are young and this is your first offense, so I will not bother with you. Someone, send you to the Ye Mansion, suspend your duties at home, and reflect on your mistakes behind closed doors!"

The imperial guards came forward and held Ye Zheng's arms. He said sadly, "The general died in a hundred battles, and the warrior returned after ten years. My Daqing soldiers fought in the northern border and risked their lives to exchange for a city, but they almost lost it because of a female disaster. My Daqing loyal soldiers endured humiliation in another country and made contributions to the country, but they were imprisoned because of a female disaster..."

His words were earnest and his eyes were filled with tears and sadness. His image as a loyal minister who works for the country and not for himself emerged!

"Shut up! Take him away!" Emperor Qing shouted angrily and then stood up angrily.

All the officials stood with their hands clasped and bowed their heads.

The sound of Emperor Qing's extremely angry footsteps rang in my ears one after another.

……

Guangxin Palace

"Impeach me?"

Li Yunrui was a little surprised.

If you impeach her in person or in a memorial to the emperor, it is understandable and both sides should save some face.

Impeach her in the court?

She smiled contemptuously, "Tell me about it."

The female official recounted today's court meeting in detail without missing a single detail.

Li Yunrui's smile grew wider, but he suddenly frowned again, "Could it be that he noticed something and deliberately angered His Majesty so that he could come up with a solution for me without leaving Kyoto?"
