Lord Moyu was forced to open

That night, many people were active.

However, Zhao Jun succeeded to the throne as a local vassal king, so who in the court could speak in front of him?

So in the end, I found nothing.

While everyone was waiting in panic, the next day finally arrived.

After a complicated ceremony, the officials stood in the court hall.

However, compared with yesterday, there were many fewer officials coming to court today.

Looking at the vacant positions, many people's expressions changed. Thinking of the news they received last night, they were afraid that they were all in trouble!
  But that doesn't mean it's over.

"Go to court! If you have something to do, go to court, if nothing happens, leave the court!"

With Wang Huaien's wailing voice, today's court meeting officially began.

Before the officials below could stand up and report, Zhao Jun, who was sitting on the throne, took the lead and took out a report and looked at everyone and said coldly:
  "Everyone, how did you sleep last night?"

Everyone was silent, some were confused, and some lowered their heads with guilt.

Zhao Jun sneered, shook the report in his hand, and then said: "Maybe you slept soundly, but I didn't sleep well yesterday. Dear friends, do you know why?"

This time, there was finally a reaction.

"I didn't know, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Haha, I don't know?"

Zhao Jun sneered, then suddenly stood up, threw the report in his hand to the ground and shouted angrily:
  "What do you not know?

You know everything!
  I just ordered the food to be adjusted a few days ago, and I also beat some people before adjusting the food.

The results of it? You actually committed a crime against me!
  how? Do you really think that I am the kind of Emperor Wen who is soft-hearted and easy to bully?
  Seventy percent of the officials assigned to provide disaster relief actually participated!

what is this?
  This is the imperial court and a disgrace to our Song Dynasty!

They are trying to fool me like a fool! "

Zhao Jun was furious above, and all the ministers below lowered their heads, with panic on their faces. Some of them were even trembling, obviously they were also involved in this matter.

Zhao Jun didn't stop for a moment after he got angry. He took out a memorial from Wang Huai'en and shouted angrily: "Where is Duke An!"

A fat man wearing a ducal uniform in the queue of generals and nobles below shivered in fright when he heard Zhao Jun's words, but he hesitated and did not dare to go out.

Since Zhao Jun was talking about Duke An Guo, he had naturally seen his portrait and recognized him.

I have to say that the skills of the palace painters are really good, just like the printed ones.

Zhao Jun's eyes instantly fixed on the trembling fat man. Seeing His Majesty's gaze, the rest of the people around her immediately moved two feet away from An Guogong, instantly revealing An Guogong.

At this time, the fat man An Guogong still lowered his head and did not realize that he had been exposed, and his body was trembling all the time.

Zhao Jun raised a meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth, walked down step by step, and said at the same time:
  "Didn't Duke An Guo come?
  I remember that before the court meeting this morning, I had sent someone to inform all the nobles that in today’s court meeting, all those who are in Beijing and of high rank, as well as those who are not dead, must not be left out. All of them must come!

Now that Duke An Guo has not come, it seems that he does not take me, the emperor, seriously!
  This is bullying! "

When the last sentence was spoken, Zhao Jun had already arrived at An Guogong Zhu Gang's side. A loud shout immediately frightened the guy and paralyzed him to the ground. It was only then that Zhu Gang realized that he had been exposed. He looked up at Zhao Jun, who was staring at him coldly from above, and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying:
  "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... I... I am here."

"Oh~ So Duke An Guo is here? I thought Duke An Guo didn't come?

I called for a long time but no one answered. "

Zhu Gang felt extremely regretful. If he had known better, he would have just gritted his teeth and stood out. At this moment, he could only bite the bullet and explain:
  "My lord, I didn't sleep well last night and was in a trance, so... I didn't hear your majesty's call. My lord... I deserve death for my crime. Please forgive me..."

"Oh, An Guo Gong didn't sleep well! I just don't know what caused An Guo Gong to toss and turn restlessly at night?
  Could it be that the money earned from running a brothel during the national mourning period was so hot that he was tossing and turning and unable to sleep? "

Zhao Jun's words are not surprising. As soon as he said these words, Anguo Gong Zhu Gang already knew that there would be no more luck!

With a plop, he knelt on the ground and hugged Zhao Jun's thigh, begging for mercy.

"Woohoo, Majesty forgives, the old minister was only blinded by the silver of the silver for a while, and then did such mistakes. Please see that in my settlement for hundreds of years, the ancestors were the Great. For the sake of life and death, Song Lao Chen will be spared this time!
  Woohoo, Your Majesty! The old minister knows his mistake! I really knew my mistake! Wuwuwu..."

Zhu Gang was crying with snot and tears, his fat face was full of pleading, he hugged Zhao Jun's thigh and cried non-stop.

Seeing this guy's face full of tears and snot, and he seemed to want to wipe it on his hem, Zhao Jun's face suddenly showed a look of disgust, and without any hesitation, he kicked him two or three meters away and rolled away. The gourd is in such a miserable state!

"roll!

How come you, the ancestor of your Zhu family, Lord Yingwu, are such a good-for-nothing?
  The Song Dynasty has raised you and other nobles for hundreds of years. Is it possible that the purpose of success is to let you dominate the Song Dynasty, embarrass your ancestors, and provoke my royal family? ! "

Zhu Gang was kicked and flew two or three meters away. He only felt a sharp pain in his abdomen, but the physical pain was far less frightening than the panic in his heart!
  He would rather Zhao Jun beat him to death on the spot, and maybe he could keep their title in Anguo Duke's Mansion. But looking at His Majesty's current condition, he was afraid that the title that had been passed down by the Zhu family for hundreds of years would be lost, so he had to kneel down while enduring the pain. Keep kowtowing.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me... Your Majesty, please forgive me... Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

After a while, Zhu Gang's forehead was covered with blood.

However, Zhao Jun will not be soft-hearted at this time. These worms of the country, not to mention that he dares to open a brothel during the national mourning, it is the Duke of Anguo who has done evil and tortured so many people by relying on their status as nobles. They have already committed crimes. Tired and exhausted, an existence that deserves to be cut into pieces by a thousand cuts.

If we don't take the opportunity to dethrone Anguo Gongfu's title today, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future.

Zhao Jun glanced coldly at Zhu Gang, who was kowtowing on the ground, turned back and sat down on the dragon chair, and issued an order in a cold tone:
  "The Duke of Anguo did not think about the difficulties of his ancestors in starting a business, nor did he think about the kindness of the country's protection. During the period of national mourning, he despised the royal family and opened up brothels to amass money as a prince.
  At the same time, he used his identity as the commander of the Xiang Army in the Beijing Camp to squander the military pay of the Xiang Army. As a result, the Xiang Army in the Beijing Camp was all old, weak, sick, and disabled, without any combat power. It was a heinous crime that wasted the hands and feet of the country and the dynasty!

From today onwards, the hereditary title of Duke An is abolished. In memory of the ancestors of the Zhu family who founded the country, all other charges will be exempted.

From then on, the Zhu family was demoted to common people and was not allowed to take the imperial examination and join the army for three generations! "

Hey!
  Zhao Jun's decree immediately caused an uproar in the court!

An Guo Gongfu, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, actually lost its title.

Although they have been exempted from previous crimes and punishments, they are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination or join the army for three generations. This completely eliminates the possibility of the Zhu family to use their past influence to return to the court!

According to the tradition of drinking tea, who in three generations will still remember that you, the Zhu family, were hereditary Dukes?

The Zhu family is completely over!
  When Zhu Gang heard this, he immediately rolled his eyes and fainted directly in the court.
