Chapter 186 Your Majesty, what you hear may not be true, but what you see may not be true

Chapter 186 Your Majesty, what you hear may not be true, but what you see may not be true
Zhao Mian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, looked at the imperial decree in his hand and felt bitterness in his heart.

"Emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen is sincere, respectful and filial, and has made meritorious service in supervising the military battle. I want to seal his throne, so I ordered the Ministry of Rites to draw up a title."

"how so!"

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly want to become a king?"

"Once Zhu Yunqi becomes king, he will be no different from Zhu Yunxi!"

Lao Zhu was also very annoyed by the civil servants, so he casually threw out an imperial decree to beat them.

But he didn't say anything to death, he just gave them a small warning, telling them not to jump too much.

After all, he is quite old now, and he may suddenly fall asleep to death one day, so there must be a backup by his side, right?

However, his imperial decree can be regarded as frightening the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

The Book of Etiquette did not dare to move around, he was so big, how many pairs of eyes were staring at him.

But the other little guys didn't have so many scruples, and they kept messing around in the six yamen like mice.

However, the place they go to the most is the Metropolitan Procuratorate, complaining to their friends of the same year.

The people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are either lunatics or on the way to evolve into lunatics.

When Zhu Yuanzhang chose the official censor, he consciously selected a person from a poor background and a clean family background to serve as the official of Fengxian.

Therefore, these people don't say that evil is like hatred, but they also generally have a hatred of wealth.

Standing on the moral high ground one by one, staring at two big eyes all day long, staring at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty for the emperor.

Whoever eats two extra chickens will be impeached by them, saying that so-and-so is extravagant and eats delicacies from mountains and seas.

The reason why they have such a strong combat effectiveness is mainly due to their promotion mechanism.

Because the official censor wanted to be promoted, he had to frantically show his face in front of His Majesty the emperor, and at the same time frantically impeach officials.

This is not just caused by utilitarianism, but also by KPI assessment factors.

If you don't impeach a few times a month, you will be dereliction of duty and you will be punished by demotion.

The emperor also gave them privileges, that's just gossip.

The so-called gossip means that as long as they hear something, no matter whether it is true or not, they can write about it in a book without worrying about being convicted.

Of course, this is just not to be punished in principle, but it really made the emperor anxious, there is always a way to punish them.

For example, give them a level up and throw them into remote areas to become officials...

When Mrs. Lu learned of this, she immediately panicked. The embroidery needle pierced her finger directly, and a drop of blood fell on the half-embroidered Tao Te Ching.

But Mrs. Lu couldn't care about these anymore, and hurriedly ordered someone to wait for her to get dressed, and then went to Wenhua Hall for a walk.

Not long after, Zhang Zongjun held a piece of white paper with the seal of the Crown Princess in his hand, and left the palace on the pretext of returning the book for someone else.

In fact, Zhang Zongjun wanted the princess to hand over the seal to him for safekeeping, so that he could contact officials outside the palace at any time.

However, the Crown Princess takes this thing very seriously, and has no intention of handing it over to him at all, and he can only ask for instructions every time he uses it.

Zhang Zongjun strolled to the Ministry of Industry, said hello to a few acquaintances, and went to the value house of Qin Kui, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry.

As soon as Qin Kui saw this person coming, he hurriedly dismissed Yuanwailang who was reporting, and then closed the doors and windows to receive the "special envoy".

After he checked the token and confirmed that this person was indeed the special envoy of the Eastern Palace, he asked him what to do next.

Normally, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry would not take a widowed princess seriously.At the very least, he will not obey the crown princess.

But last time, the concubine's operation was so amazing that Zhu Yunxuan, the second emperor's grandson, went off in person and faced Zhu Yunxie directly.

Not only gave Zhu Yunqi the opportunity to make contributions, but also allowed them to take advantage of this opportunity to cut off a piece of flesh from the general Xungui.

Therefore, the officials of the six imperial courts all looked at the young princess with admiration.

As for the seventh-rank official in front of him, Qin Kui didn't pay much attention to him. In his opinion, he was just running errands for the princess.

Little did he know that all these schemes came from this humble servant of the East Palace.

After checking the token, Qin Kui said arrogantly.

"What did the princess say this time?"

Zhang Zongjun could naturally hear the arrogance in Qin Kui's tone, but he didn't care about it, and still kept a low profile appropriately.

"Reporting to Lord Qin, the crown princess said to encircle Wei and save Zhao!"

"Oh?"

Qin Kui was taken aback for a moment, and asked in puzzlement.

"What do you say?"

Zhang Zongjun took out a small note from his sleeve.

"This is the crime committed by King Wu in recent days. As long as he is impeached like this, the danger of the second emperor and grandson will be relieved!"

"hiss!"

Qin Kui glanced at the content on the note and secretly took a deep breath.

He was busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Industry all day long, so he really didn't have time to pay attention to what Zhu Yunxi had done.After reading the things on the note, he realized that this grandson is so capable of tossing around!
"What the Crown Princess means is, find a censor to impeach him first, and then..."

Qin Kui listened very perfunctorily at first, but after listening for a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face.

The Crown Princess is fine, it is very rare to think of such a scheme, and the most surprising thing is that even His Majesty's reaction is taken into account!
"The princess is wise..."

"Go back and tell the Crown Princess for me, and say that I will do my best to not disappoint the Crown Princess!"

After Zhu Yuanzhang sent out that decree, it really took a few days to calm down, and no one dared to write to him to ask for credit for Zhu Yunqi.

However, this quietness only passed for a few days.

On this day, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang went to court, he saw a censor jumping out.

"Your Majesty, the Supervising Censor Jiemin of the Procuratorate impeached the king of Wu for his crimes!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyelids twitched.

Generally speaking, censors seldom impeach in court, and most of them secretly impeach.

This kind of impeachment in court is tantamount to making it clear that there is no end to death. Once the impeachment fails, it will inevitably lead to revenge from the impeacher.

Therefore, when Zhu Yuanzhang heard that someone had impeached his grandson, and it was impeachment in court, he had an ominous premonition in his heart.

This must be because he has the real material, so he is so bold to impeach the grandson!

Just as Lao Zhu wanted someone to bring up the memorandum, intending to deal with it in a low-key manner, he heard the censor read it loudly.

Old Zhu was so angry, he thought to himself that this person was really nothing, but he was too embarrassed to interrupt, so he could only listen patiently.

"The first thing is that the king of Wu embezzled the state money..."

"Second thing, the King of Wu used the name of the Bureau of Weapons Supervision to wantonly extort bribes from officials..."

"The third thing is that King Wu violated the court system and built palaces and gardens privately for enjoyment."

"The fourth thing is that the King of Wu destroyed the houses privately, causing the people to be displaced..."

"Fifth matter, the king of Wu violated the etiquette and law, and the area of ​​the palace garden is comparable to that of the imperial palace. This is arrogance..."

As soon as Jie Min's words came out, the entire court was in an uproar, and even the emperor Zhu Yuanzhang turned blue with anger.

On the one hand, he was angered by Jie Min, the thorn, and on the other hand, he was angered by a certain grandson.

On his side, he was still waiting eagerly for the Nisun to make contributions, but the Nisun actually went to build a palace and repair a garden, and the area was comparable to that of a royal palace!

Zhu Yuanzhang still knew how big the King Wu's Palace originally occupied, and it was about the same size as the East Palace.

Now it is comparable to the imperial palace, so at least it has doubled seven or eight times. Don't the people around have to be forced to relocate?
Zhu Yuanzhang asked sullenly.

"Xie Min, is what you said true?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, everything I said is true. If there is even half a sentence that is false, I am willing to be resigned!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart sank even more when he heard these words. If Xie Min could say these words, then the evidence is conclusive.

When the general heard that someone was impeaching Zhu Yunxi, he immediately jumped out to speak for Zhu Yunxi.However, before they could say a few words, they discovered that some of the civil servants also jumped out.

"Your Majesty, Jie Min's words are not reliable. I boldly suggest that Your Majesty should go and see it with your own eyes, so as not to wrong His Highness King Wu!"

"Your Majesty heard that today is the day of the completion of King Wu's Mansion. Why don't Your Majesty go and have a look in person?"

The reaction from the civil servants directly fooled the generals, wondering why did they still speak for Zhu Yunxi?

Zhu Yuanzhang was also confused by the words of several civil servants. At first he thought it was because they were dissatisfied with making Zhu Yunqi the king, and deliberately made it disgusting to him.

Seeing their reaction now, Lao Zhu was puzzled.

Could it be that Jiemin is just a personal behavior and has not been connected with other people?
As everyone knows, this is Zhang Zongjun's brilliance. He first sent a censor to clarify the matter, and then asked the civil servants to send out a few people to speak good words for His Highness King Wu.

In this way, with the suspicious character of His Majesty the Emperor, he will inevitably be suspicious of this matter, so as not to classify this matter as a crony.

Lao Zhu listened to the quarrel of the crowd for a while, and immediately announced the disbandment of the court.

He has only one thought now, and that is to rush to King Wu's Palace to see if Ni Sun really built a garden that occupies an area comparable to the palace as Jie Min said.

If that Ni Sun is really so unbearable, then he doesn't have to think about it, just let him be a feudal king!
Not long after, hundreds of Habayashi guards drove out of the palace surrounded by a carriage.

Immediately afterwards, a group of censor officials and officials above the court also sneaked out of the city to watch the excitement.

Lao Zhu's car had just left the city, and after a while, he heard the people from Habayashi Guard shouting to stop, saying that he had arrived.

Lao Zhu opened the curtain of the car and was about to scold, but he only walked a few steps and arrived?
However, before he could curse, he saw a brand new gate came into view.Standing in the car and looking out, he saw an endless garden in front of his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Lao Zhu was so angry that he wished he could arrest Ni Sun and beat him up.

Old Zhu was sulking angrily in the carriage, when he saw an old man walking over leisurely and bowed to him.

"My minister Yang Xinlu pays homage to His Majesty!"

Originally, Yang Xinlu wanted to bow down, but seeing that His Majesty was only wearing casual clothes, he simplified the bowing ceremony.

Lao Zhu didn't take it seriously, but reprimanded him full of anger.

"Yang Xinlu, after all, you are also a great Confucian in the world, and as the master of our grandson, why don't you try to persuade him and let that rebellious grandson mess around!"

Yang Xinlu smiled gently when he heard the words.

"Your Majesty, what you hear may not be true, and what you see may not be true."

"The third emperor's grandson cares about the world and the common people. Why don't your majesty get out of the car and follow the veteran to have a look. It's not too late to make a judgment after swimming through this new palace!"

"Oh?"

When Lao Zhu heard this, hope suddenly rose in his heart, it seemed that there was something hidden here.

"Then let's see with you, what's so special about this new palace!"

Yang Xinlu led the way, led Lao Zhu to the gate, and pointed to a huge rock covered with a red cloth.

"The new palace is completed today, and the third grandson is busy with the weapons department, so he really can't spare time to come here. Please, Your Majesty, unveil the prize for the third grandson!"

Lao Zhu looked at the magnificent gate, feeling disgusted in his heart, his palace is not so grand!

"Yang Xinlu, you dare to ask us to reveal the lottery for that Ni Sun?"

"Your Majesty, after reading the inscription on the boulder, you will know the painstaking efforts of the third emperor's grandson."

"Oh?"

Old Zhu walked to the boulder suspiciously, took off the red cloth covering it, and saw four large characters engraved on the boulder.

"Xuanwu Lake People's Park?"

Old Zhu stared blankly at these big characters, and asked with a puzzled face.

"garden?"

"What is a park?"
