Chapter 201 Killing Minister

As Jiang Yuanxi thought, when he went to court the next day, there would be a censor who came out to remonstrate directly.

"My censor, Yu Shipeng, heard about the imperial decree yesterday, and there is no such precedent for selecting girls from all over Beiliang to enter the palace. I implore the emperor to take back the imperial order for such a waste of money and people."

As if breaking with the sage, as long as Chen Xiong did anything wrong, the people from Yushitai would directly remonstrate, and this time was no exception. Before the others took any action, the people from Yushitai came out first .

As soon as Chen Xiong saw the people from Yushitai come out, his face turned cold. As expected, this person came out to upset him.

"If there is no such case, then I will set this precedent."

Chen Xiong said coldly: "Is it the king's land in the whole world, and the king's ministers on the coast of the land. Since the people in the world are my king's ministers, it is reasonable to serve me. How can it be said that the affairs of the emperor and the emperor are laboring the people and wasting money?" ?”

There was a commotion among the ministers. These words were shameless and unreasonable. I had never heard of the phrase "Is it the king's ministers on the shore of the land" used in this way. Doesn't this mean that all the women in the world are the women of the Holy One? , When the Holy Majesty wants to serve, do they have to serve?
Is this still ethical? !
If this kind of selection of concubines in the whole territory is not a waste of people and money, then what is it?

Zhou Pengxing's expression was even more serious. His Majesty's actions must be stopped.

"I heard: Those who seek the elders of trees must consolidate their roots; those who want to flow far must dredge their springs; those who think about the security of the country must accumulate their virtues.①
Your Majesty's move is to shake the foundation of our Beiliang, which is unacceptable. I also ask your Majesty to take back the holy order and return the people to live and work in peace and contentment. I think Beiliang is safe and secure. "

"Oh!"

"presumptuous!"

Chen Xiong was furious, and he ruthlessly accused Yilong, "You traitorous minister, you dare to curse my dynasty, such a traitorous minister will never be tolerated! Someone, drag this traitorous minister down and cut him down!"

"hiss--"

There was a commotion among the courtiers. Everyone never thought that the Holy Majesty would kill someone. They had never heard that Yushi Zhijian would be killed. Could it be that the Holy Majesty can't even listen to a word of advice?

Censor Zhongcheng was the first to come out and knelt down, "Censor Censor Zhongcheng Pingwen Zuo Sheng, Yu Shi Pengxing is the official job of Censor, what is the crime, the Holy Majesty, don't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately!"

As soon as these words came out, many people's faces changed immediately. This time, Zhou Pengxing might not be able to save Zhou Pengxing.

Chen Xiong was so angry that his eyes widened and he made a hoarse sound of "Hang Chi Han Chi" from his throat, and shouted: "Where are the Imperial Guards, are they all dead? Why don't you come in and drag this traitorous minister out and chop him up!"

A team of imperial guards rushed in and dragged Zhou Pengxing out. Zhou Pengxing did not struggle, but shouted loudly, "If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening. I will stick to the original intention of the Tao and die for the country and the people." No regrets!"

"My lord, wait a minute! Please listen to the old minister!"

Jiang Taifu had no time to reprimand Yu Shi Zhongcheng, so he hurriedly came out to intercede for Zhou Pengxing, Chen Xiong smiled coldly, "Taifu will plead for these rebellious officials and thieves again, it will be regarded as a rebellious party, and everyone will be executed."

For a moment, the court hall was terribly quiet.

Jiang Taifu's downcast eyes flashed coldly, and he closed his eyes, after all, he didn't make any sound.

Seeing Jiang Taifu bowing his head, Chen Xiong smiled contemptuously, and the old man also retreated sometimes.

A moment later, a guard walked into the hall and bowed to report: "Return to the Holy One, the rebellious ministers have been executed."

Only then did the anger in Chen Xiong's heart subside a little, and he coldly glanced at Yu Shi Zhongcheng, who was already kneeling on the ground with tears in his eyes, and wanted to kill this person who also often disgusted him, but he also knew that It's not good to start a killing spree.

"If you have something to play, you will retreat."

After waiting for a while, the attendant eunuch shouted loudly.

Taifu Jiang straightened up slightly, "Your Majesty, Taifu Yiwen, played the imperial edict. The imperial decree issued by the Holy Majesty yesterday, I think it is inappropriate. I have the right to refute the edict. This imperial edict needs to be deliberated by the nine ministers before deciding whether it will be implemented or not." Show the world."

The Taifu has the right to refute the emperor's edict, but the edict issued must be discussed by the nine ministers. If the majority of the nine ministers agree, the edict will be made known to the world. Otherwise, the emperor will withdraw the order.

The edict that requires the Taifu to exercise the right to refute, and the majority of the nine ministers do not agree, shows that such an edict needs to be considered by the emperor. Be alert.

It's a pity that Chen Xiong didn't have this kind of awareness, he only felt that his heart was full of anger, and this anger was so strong that his heart was full of murderous intent, full of hostility, because Jiang Taifu blocked his edict, which was to stop him from begging. Ask about the road to immortality.

Any emperor can't bear it, let alone Chen Xiong who has always hated Jiang Taifu.

Jiang Taifu suddenly felt his whole body stiffen, as if he was being stared at his throat by a ferocious beast, cold and ruthless, he lifted his eyelids indistinctly, glanced at Chen Xiong quickly, his heart skipped a beat, Chen Xiong wanted to kill him!
He was absolutely sure of it.

The one who felt the murderous intent earlier than Jiang Taifu was Jiang Yuanxi's grandfather, General Zheng. His reaction was faster than Jiang Taifu's response. What Tai Tuo said makes sense."

General Zheng winked, and the other nine ministers also joined the second meeting as they had discussed urgently yesterday.No matter what, they also felt that this edict was too absurd, since it was of vital interest, it was naturally obligatory.

Under the leadership of Jiuqing, all courtiers from aristocratic families in the court will come out to second, which made Chen Xiong angry, but at the same time he did not dare to attack Jiang Taifu.

"bang"

Chen Xiong stood up, kicked Long An to the ground, and left angrily, leaving only the courtiers who looked at each other in blank dismay, unable to react for a while.

The Holy Majesty had left, so the court meeting couldn't go on. Under Jiang Taifu's signal, the courtiers went back to the government office to handle government affairs.

"In-law, you were too dangerous just now." General Zheng Da approached Taifu Jiang with a look of disapproval and said in a low voice.

Jiang Taifu breathed out, "I just thanked my in-laws."

General Zheng shook his head, his voice was low and inaudible, "Dear family, it's better to make plans early."

General Zheng Da gave him a meaningful look, and strode away.

Jiang Taifu looked up at the sky, "I hope there is still time."

Chen Xiong, who returned to Beique Palace, was so angry that he chopped flowers and plants with a sharp sword, his face was terribly gloomy, and he exuded a chill that made people shiver.

Even Yue Huarong didn't dare to step forward to swipe his edge at this time.

"Anituofo, the Holy Majesty vented his anger, and I don't know if my heart is at ease?"

When Chen Xiong stopped his movements, a vicissitudes of life sounded.

"Master Fotucheng."

Seeing that it was an eminent Buddhist monk whom he respected on weekdays, Chen Xiong suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

Buddha Tucheng greeted him, "The poor monk has been here for a long time, and he has no time to see the saint, so he has not informed, the poor monk is guilty."

"Master, you don't need to be too polite. I won't blame the master for such a trivial matter."

Chen Xiong dropped the sharp sword in his hand, took the handkerchief handed over by the attendant eunuch, wiped his hands, "I don't know if the master came to see me, but something happened?"

He stared at Fotucheng closely, if even Fotucheng dared to question his imperial decree, he would kill him!
"The poor monk came here for something. Your Majesty, the empress dowager's filial piety period has not yet passed. You are a filial son. How can you let the empress dowager feel sad because of your actions?"

Buddha Tucheng has kind eyebrows and kind eyes, bows with both hands, and performed a Buddha ceremony.

His words made Chen Xiong stunned, and the anger in his heart gradually dissipated. Later, regret welled up in his heart, and he also said a Buddhist verse, "I forgot, it's my fault, my queen mother knows, and I want to be responsible for my actions." I'm sad. I'm going to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures, thank you master for letting me know in time."

"Anituofo, the Holy Majesty's words are serious, the Empress Dowager will also be pleased with the Holy Majesty's filial deeds, and with the Holy Majesty's chanting sutras and Buddha's support, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva will definitely treat the Empress Dowager as a guest of honor." Fotucheng said calmly.

Chen Xiong was devout, walked a few steps in the direction of the Buddhist hall and stopped, "I will suppress this decree for the time being, and wait until the Empress Dowager's filial piety period is over in half a year, and then I will make it known to the world."

Fotucheng said again, "Anituofo."

Seeing Chen Xiong striding away, Fotucheng shook his head lightly, and murmured: "People of Beiliang, this poor monk can only help you so far, it's a sin."
