"Presumptuous, Sheng Changbai, what are you talking about?"

The emperor only had a dark face, but Prime Minister Han Zhang angrily scolded Sheng Changbai, completely turning into the emperor's dog.

Because Sheng Changbai caught Zhao Zongquan's pain point and directly let Han Zhang break his guard, the prime minister couldn't really ride a boat in his belly.

If Zhao Zongquan's father was King Shu, Zhao Zongquan would no longer be qualified to be emperor.

There are so many people in the old Zhao family. If Zhao Zongquan hadn't recognized Emperor Renzong as his father, Zhao Zongquan would not be in any row.

The cause and effect of this matter is that having a father who is an emperor leads to a son becoming an emperor.

If Zhao Zongquan becomes the emperor, his biological father can posthumously become the emperor.

"Your Majesty, Han Zhang is a man who is good at making evil opinions, arbitrarily quoting scriptures and evidence, using false principles to please the master, and using short-term gains to defeat the late emperor. He wants to burden King Shu with an unfair name, and will expose your majesty to ridicule for his excessive actions. He pretends to be a prime minister and assistant. , I ask your Majesty to depose Han Zhang as Prime Minister."

During this period, Sheng Changbai became increasingly dissatisfied with the operations of Han Zhang, the prime minister.

When the old emperor was in power, Han Zhang stood up to the old emperor and asked him to adopt his son.

Although he was negligent and neglected the affairs of the state, the matter of establishing the crown prince was still regarded as the foundation of the country. At that time, Han Zhang acted like a scholar.

The current Han Zhang does not look like a prime minister who wants to restrict the imperial power. He looks like a flattering eunuch or the emperor's domestic slave.

Since he couldn't stand it at all and raised objections, Sheng Changbai directly criticized him.

This matter can only be directed at the prime minister.

Although this matter must have been the emperor's first thought, it was Han Zhang who took the lead on the surface.

Even if everyone in the world knew what Zhao Zongquan meant, as long as Zhao Zongquan didn't say it directly, it would be difficult to directly criticize the emperor.

The certainty of this matter now is that Han Zhang is a villain and wants to confuse Zhao Zongquan and make Zhao Zongquan a villain.

"Your Majesty, Qi Heng, attached to Sheng Yushi's proposal, opposed the appointment of King Xianshu as the emperor, and asked your Majesty to depose Han Zhang."

Qi Heng, the Queen Mother's number one thug, also recovered from the shock and stood up to support Sheng Changbai.

"I second the motion."

Then, above the court, a large crowd of people came out of darkness to support Sheng Changbai.

Sheng Changbai took the lead, Qi Heng followed, and more and more people followed.

Now that there is a leader like Sheng Changbai, others are not so afraid of being hated by Han Zhang.

The reason why there are so many people is that the emperor's behavior is really shameless.

It was also this incident that affected the interests of all literati. Except for some die-hard loyalists under Han Zhang's sect, many people came forward one after another.

Even many old neutrals like Sheng Hong have come forward.

"Retreat."

Seeing so many people objecting, Zhao Zongquan's face turned cloudy. He waved his hand and said "Retreat" and was the first to leave the Wende Hall.

"Everyone, please retreat." The Queen Mother was in a good mood and smiled at Sheng Changbai before leaving.

These old ladies probably misunderstood something. Sheng Changbai was opposed to the emperor and Han Zhang messing around.

But it doesn't mean that Sheng Changbai and the Queen Mother will stand together.

After the two protagonists left, the other people left the Wende Hall one after another.

Sheng Changbai was also preparing to return to Yushitai, and was planning to find colleagues and leaders for support.

The most important thing is to find the chief censor Zhongcheng in the censorship station and impeach Han Zhang in writing.

According to the unspoken rules of the Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister was impeached by Yushi Zhongcheng.

You should say nothing or do nothing, and first voluntarily plead guilty and abdicate.

But before Sheng Changbai walked out far, Sheng Hong trotted behind and caught up with Sheng Changbai:

"Changbai, stop here. Why are you so reckless in the hall today?" Then he pulled Sheng Changbai to the corner downstairs and continued:
"Ever since you were a child, you have been the most stable person in the family, but look at what you did today. Even the Queen Mother saw that it was a joint act between Mr. Han and His Majesty. Can't you tell? "

"I see, this is a play performed by Han Zhang and His Majesty. But as a supervisory censor, I can't pretend to be deaf and dumb when I see this kind of thing. Otherwise, if the news about the imperial court today spreads, I will What other face is based in Shilin?"

When this kind of thing spread among the people, Han Zhang was the first to be scolded.

Then the person who was scolded was the court official.

Sheng Changbai, the censor who supervised the Ministry of Etiquette, was the first to bear the brunt, and there was no possibility of escaping.

"Then just object. You shouldn't impeach Han Zhang directly. Han Zhang has been running the court for many years. He has many party members and a big tree with deep roots. How can he be so easy to offend?" Sheng Hong said worriedly.

"Han Zhang has indeed been in business for many years. In the past few decades of our dynasty, the prime ministers have generally been in office for no more than three years. Only Han Zhang caught up with the late emperor in his later years. He was ill and had no interest in political affairs. Han Zhang was allowed to continue He has been in office for six or seven years now, so it’s time to change his position.”

After some calculation, Han Zhang's time as prime minister was indeed a little too long.

After the Zhou Dynasty became stable, the terms of prime ministers were generally shorter.

This is the emperor of the old Zhao family, trying to achieve political balance.

Avoid one person staying in office for too long, causing an imbalance of power and causing the situation of a powerful minister.

When a prime minister has been in office for two or three years, the emperor will find some trouble to remove the prime minister.

Then the prime ministers are assigned to local areas to serve as magistrates and magistrates.

Then after a few years, if necessary, he will find the person back and worship him as prime minister again.

Therefore, it was easy for the Zhou Dynasty to appear. Some people came and went in and out of the position of prime minister and speaker of the political affairs hall.

I thought for a moment that Han Zhang had occupied the position for so many years.

Many of the following people who are qualified to worship the prime minister have opinions about Han Zhang.

In addition, this time Han Zhang shamelessly licked the emperor and lost the support of Shilin.

Neither the upper class nor the lower class support Han Zhang, so Sheng Changbai is not completely isolated.

There is still a good chance this time to directly remove Han Zhang from power.

"Whether Han Zhang can move or not, what does it have to do with you, a seventh-grade official? You have to take the lead. It's not easy for everyone all day long. Can you learn to be more calm?" Sheng Hong refuted. He said that he classified Sheng Changbai into the same category as Changfeng and several orchids at home.

Sheng Hong's philosophy of being an official is to be kind to others. His long-standing habits do not agree with Sheng Changbai's style of doing things.

"If you have any questions, let's talk about it when we go home. It's not convenient to talk in this imperial city."

Sheng Changbai was not ready to continue chatting with Sheng Hong. The two people had completely different ideas. It was not that easy to convince Sheng Hong.

It doesn't actually matter whether this matter convinces Sheng Hong or not.

After saying that, Sheng Changbai was about to turn around and leave.

"What else do you want to do? Go home quickly. Send someone to deliver a message to Taishan as soon as you get back. Ask him about this matter. You should be careful."

Sheng Hong wanted Sheng Changbai to seek support from his father-in-law, which was indeed possible.

After Han Zhang was taken down, the deputy prime minister became prime minister, and the reserve prime minister became deputy prime minister. It was time for Lao Taishan to take a step forward and return to the central government to truly enter the position of reserve prime minister.

It is in line with the etiquette of the Hai family to remove Han Zhang from power. Sheng Changbai can indeed find his father-in-law.

Otherwise, in order not to owe too many favors to the Hai family, it would be difficult for Sheng Changbai to deal with relatives of the Hai family after he came to power, so Sheng Changbai would not borrow them easily.

"I'll go back to the Yushitai and contact my colleagues." Sheng Changbai replied.

After returning to the Yushitai, Sheng Changbai saw that no one was on duty in his office, and officials at all levels gathered in the main hall of the Yushitai to discuss.Generally speaking, the current literati of the Zhou Dynasty still have a moral bottom line.

The officials of Yushitai have a higher moral bottom line than the entire official group.

No one wants to be a lucky minister and lick Zhao Zongquan mindlessly, and they are all indignant about this matter.

Without Sheng Changbai's persuasion, they decided to jointly impeach Han Zhang.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the official position of imperial censor was an honorary position and was not permanent.

Even if a censor is appointed, it will only serve as an honorary title for senior officials and will not fulfill actual responsibilities.

Yushi Zhongcheng is the de facto leader of Yushitai. After Yushi Zhongcheng also signs his name.

It also represents the memorial, which expresses the attitude of the entire Yushitai, requesting the removal of Han Zhang.

Sheng Changbai was busy here, and Qi Heng was not idle either. He summoned a group of people from the Admonition Court and prepared to impeach Han Zhang.

Qi Heng's operation is even simpler, compared to Sheng Changbai, who is the bottom layer of Yushitai.

Qi Heng, who has become the Youjianyi doctor, already belongs to the upper echelons of the Jianyuan.

Both sides wrote memorials and submitted them to the emperor.

In other words, the officials of the entire Zhou Dynasty have collectively opposed the emperor's appointment of King Xianshu as Emperor Kao and Han Zhang.

The emperor suppressed the memorial, but there was no response. Yushitai and Jianyuan continued to submit memorials.

One letter every day, literally seven days in a row.

In this case, the emperor, who usually cares about face, should know to give up the idea.

A shameless prime minister should know how to apologize and resign.

"Zecheng, have you heard? His Majesty has issued an edict to let the ceremonial officers and court officials above the system begin to discuss the ceremony to honor King Shu Anyi."

But Zhao Zongquan was different. He might have acted rogue to get the jade seal from the Queen Mother.

Having tasted the benefits of playing rogue, the court officials objected to the imperial examination.

Zhao Zongquan simply stopped pretending and started acting rogue.

He no longer used Han Zhang as his white glove, and bluntly stated that it was his own intention to take the imperial examination.

He directly ordered the ceremonial officer and the two system officers to start preparing for the ceremony to help his father "rectify his name."

Han Zhang did not resign himself. He still sat in the position of prime minister with a calm face.

He broke the unspoken rules of officialdom and was impeached by the official, and the total number of memorials was already as high as one person.

Others resigned after receiving a memorial. Han Zhang was impeached by Yushi Zhongcheng for a week, but he was still indifferent.

The one who plays is a scoundrel, and the one who stands out is a shameless one.

As long as the emperor does not say goodbye to the prime minister, I will always sit in the position of prime minister.

Han Zhang had accumulated decades of reputation in the early stage, but once he was defeated, it all turned into Zhao Zongquan's favor.

Taking advantage of his status as prime minister and scholar leader, he betrayed the interests of the scholar-bureaucrats and sold the world's literati at a good price.

The emperor and the rogue, two of the highest-ranking people in the Zhou Dynasty, acted rogue.

It is indeed difficult to deal with. No wonder the Queen Mother has been fighting in the palace and harem her whole life.

I can still be buzzed by the popularity of these two.

The emperor and the prime minister turned into such scoundrels, and Gu Tingye had to bear half of the blame.

It was Gu Tingye who gave the two people the idea and opened the door to a new world for them.

Let two people know how effective and convenient it is to gain benefits by playing rogue.

"What's the attitude of the etiquette officer?"

"The public was furious and opposed it."

"Then we'll wait until tomorrow when we go to court to discuss the matter."

After hearing about the emperor and Han Zhang, they angered Yushitai and Jianyuan, and then angered the etiquette officials.

Sheng Changbai could only say that two people were stupid. How could two people get the support of the etiquette officer for doing such an anti-etiquette thing.

Anyone who dares to support Zhao Zongquan will definitely be recorded in the history books and be cast aside for generations.

For most conscientious literati, reputation is the most important thing.

Even if some people don't care about their reputation at the time, they still value their reputation after death and don't want to be written into the biography of a traitor.

In order to avoid the officials, Zhao Zongquan did not even dare to hold court meetings.

After becoming the emperor, he liked to hold court meetings. Now, under the repeated urging of the ministers, he only held another court meeting in a week.

Because of the old emperor's troubles, other affairs in the country could be said to have come to a standstill.

The whole court was discussing the issue of King Xianshu's title.

Unless this matter is clarified, no one will care about local affairs.

Local matters were dealt with as usual and passed over in a hurry.

Then it was time for the ministers to speak freely.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

This is Mr. Wang, a Hanlin scholar. He is the Prime Minister who has reached the last step in the Great Zhou Dynasty. After that, he will be the Deputy Prime Minister who participates in political affairs.

It is also arranged by the emperor that he has the highest status among the ceremonial officials and the two official officials in the ceremony of King Yishu.

"Say." The emperor said hopefully.

"After deliberation with all my colleagues and ceremonial officers, I unanimously agreed that the first king should be appointed to marry him. The etiquette dictates that as a person, the latter is his son, and he does not dare to care about his personal relationship."

What Mr. Wang is saying is that the emperor should call your biological father uncle.

Because it is written in the rituals of the Thirteen Classics of Confucianism that an adopted son should not recognize his biological parents.

Before Renzong wanted to make you the crown prince, you first recognized Renzong as your father.

This is something everyone knows, so your biological father is not your biological father, but your uncle.

After hearing this, the emperor was of course unhappy and looked at Han Zhang with a dark face.

The implicit meaning is that you did this to please me. Now that it has become this situation, how should it end?

Since Han Zhang had completely surrendered to Zhao Zongquan, he did not hesitate and devoted himself to selling the emperor well. When he saw the emperor asking for help, he immediately stood up and looked at Xueshi Wang with dissatisfaction:
"I don't know who King Shu should call his relative, named or not?"

"It's better to be called the emperor rather than the name." Lord Wang glared at Han Zhang and replied.

"What Wang Xueshi said is wrong. It is also said in the rites that when you are a person, you will repay your parents. If you are a person, your parents will die for three years, and if you are a person, your parents will die together." Han Zhang followed up and replied. retorted.

The basis is that adopted children are also mentioned in the ceremony, and their biological parents are also called parents.

Because all the ministers were against it, Han Zhang had obviously done his homework these days.

In terms of etiquette, he tried to make King Xianshu's imperial status conform to etiquette.
