6.43 Impeachment?Bounce the air!
Early the next morning, Princess Yongchang's private residence, the bedroom in the inner courtyard.

"Brother Zhou, wake up!" When Zhou Yang was sleeping soundly, he suddenly felt someone pushing him. When he heard that the voice was his own girl, he hugged him in front of him, "Oh, what are you doing at this hour? Get up quickly. , today is the day of the great court meeting, if you still don’t go, be careful that the court will directly condemn you!”

"Dachao meeting?" Zhou Yang muttered in a daze. When he opened his hazy eyes, he saw that Dongfang Bing had broken away from him and was standing in front of the bed. He glanced at the sky outside the window, which was still without any light. He was so angry. Let’s hit one point, “Who on earth is so cruel that he thought of setting the imperial meeting at half past ten o’clock (six o’clock in the morning)—ouch!”

"General Zhou, do you have any objections to the rules set by Emperor Taizong after he returned to the capital?" Princess Yongchang, who was sleeping on the inside of the big bed, interrupted someone with an elbow. You are a third-ranked person who actually takes leave from time to time and fails to go to court on the grounds of 'military affairs'. If Kai'er hadn't known about your temperament, he would have dragged you to the court and slapped you with a cane!"

"Brother Zhou, you have to go today." Dongfang Bing had already brought the basin, towels and other items for washing from outside the door, and put them on the basin seat before coming up to help him get up. "Since yesterday afternoon, the entire Hanlin Street has been crowded with people. It’s going crazy, almost everyone has joined forces and must be working hard to take action at this morning’s meeting.”

"Are you making trouble?" Zhou Yang curled his lips indifferently, stood up and got dressed with Dongfang Bing's help, "These idiots never thought that the more we get into trouble with them, the less His Majesty will touch me. As Rong'er said just now, if I, a third-rank military commander without real power, have good or even close relationships with all the civil and military officials, I will be bored."

"As long as you understand." Princess Yongchang nodded with satisfaction.

"Besides, you have even arranged the time, what other choice do I have?" Zhou Yang put on his clothes, washed his face over and over again and expressed his dissatisfaction to a certain princess with a cold snort. There must have been more than one day to think about, but it happened to be reported to him on the afternoon of February [-]th. The next day was the imperial meeting. To say that there was no arrangement here would be an insult to his intelligence.

"Giggle--" Princess Yongchang and Dongfang Bing looked at each other and smiled, but neither of them had any intention to refute.

"Okay, you guys didn't do this. Since Mei dares to be used as a knife for some people, it's natural for me to smash him to avoid making people think he's easy to bully." This is why he is very fond of the Mei family. The root cause of excessiveness is, "I just want some people to understand that as long as you dare to reach out, I will chop it into pieces - let's go!"

"Get in the car, I've got people ready. The charcoal stove in the car is specially designed to heat up a whole roasted chicken. Things won't be easy today. You'd better rest your stomach to avoid running out of energy." Dongfang Bing quickly explained. , "Also, you'd better restrain yourself in court and don't speak too casually to avoid being beaten with a cane again."

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements - it's not even 05:30, and I'm already at work." Zhou Ang waved his hands indifferently, went out and got on the carriage and went straight to the palace - as he said, since he dared to do this to the Mei family There was no bottom line, so he had already made up his mind. The only thing he didn't pay attention to was today's large court meeting. Originally, he was planning to argue with the civil officials at the small court meeting.

At half past midnight, more than [-] people had already lined up at the Daming Gate in front of the Daming Palace. The Han general began to reorganize his formation, but at least dozens of people were looking at someone with stern eyes. He didn't expect that he would be disdainful on the spot. He spat and turned to look at Mei Hanlin, who was supposed to be the angriest, but he saw his face was gloomy and his head was lowered, and he didn't even dare to look directly at him.

"Pah - pah - pah - go to court -" After three whippings, Qiu Shian yelled at the top of his voice. Even if the "imperial gate listening to politics" had begun, it was just that this time, everyone underestimated certain things. The scale of people causing trouble!

"Your Majesty, I have a report from the Supervisory Censor XXX. I have the power to impeach all the military personnel of the Shenji Camp and the partial general (title) Zhou Yang. He is arrogant, domineering and lawless. He actually broke into the imperial court in broad daylight. The mansion, the robbery of property, the destruction of the courtyard, and the beating of officials are simply unspeakable!”

"I agree, a group of Qiu Ba can beat up a famous official in Qing Dynasty, what else can't they do!"

"My lord XX seconded the motion. I heard that they broke down the door and beat Brother Mei of Hanlin Academy until he fainted. This is simply shocking."

"I heard that the soldiers of the Shenji Battalion were working day and night, and the shouts and shouts filled the surrounding area. At this time when the world is at peace and the world is peaceful, I don't know what General Zhou wants to do!"

"As a military general, he often does business. It is simply incestuous!"

"When warriors interfere with politics, the world will be in chaos!"

If we say that at the beginning, this group of people was able to issue various impeachments based on what happened yesterday afternoon, but as the number of people increased, the problems began to spiral out of control, not to mention the group of martial artists who were accused of Sang and Huai. , military commanders, even the civil servants, and even Emperor Changxing sitting at the top began to look gloomy.Finally, after the poor Hanlin and rotten censors who came forward to impeach nearly half a hundred people, and basically all ended up in court, except for the group of loudmouth kings who were still filled with righteous indignation, almost all the theatergoers knew that, Things are serious this time, and there is a high probability that the person being impeached will no longer have any problems.

"That's enough!" Guo Kai's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He slapped the throne and stood up. Qiu Shi'an in front of him quickly swung his whip, but it took six times to finally suppress the situation. "Why, sir, do you want to teach me how to govern a country and how to organize an army? But I don't know which of you has ever led an army to fight, huh?"

Emperor Changxing yelled so loudly that the impeachment officers at the front broke out in cold sweat. They knelt on the ground almost without hesitation, but the ones behind couldn't hear them at all, and kept talking nonsense one after another until they found that there was someone in front of them. I knelt down for a moment before I could react and follow. It was only after dozens of breaths of time that the meeting finally became completely quiet, and the silence was a bit terrifying.

"Wei Guang, the censor of the left capital, and Tian Gui, the censor of the right capital of the Inspectorate!" Emperor Changxing called them by their first names.

"I'm here!" The two men in cold sweats knelt on the ground.

"Kong Lu, bachelor of the Hanlin Academy!" Emperor Changxing continued to call.

"Chen is here!"

"Quan Zhi Shen Ji Camp, General Zhou Yang, do you have anything to say?" Emperor Changxing saw that the three people just came out and knelt down. He motioned for them to get up and said no more, but controlled his emotions a little. After that, he started to conduct inquiries as usual and asked the person concerned to come forward to defend himself. "You also heard about the impeachment just now. If there is no reliable reason, I am afraid I will be like Zhuge Kongming."

What did Zhuge Liang do?Kill Ma Su!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I really don't know how to defend the impeachment just now. I can only say that the first three or five people are talking nonsense and have absolutely nothing to do with it, and the dozens of people behind are just farting!" Zhou Yang retorted without hesitation. After returning home, he didn't care about the impeachment officers who started making noise again, "I heard that the imperial envoys have the power to report things. Even if they are not convicted for their words, I don't know where the Hanlin Academy has the power to talk nonsense?"

The scene fell silent, and no one expected that when he opened his mouth, he directly talked about the department's powers and court meeting procedures. Ordinarily, this was not an issue that a military commander was concerned about.

"Zhou Ziyang, you are so shameless. Are the rebels who attacked Brother Mei's house yesterday not yours?" However, the response speed of this group of people was indeed extraordinary. Just a moment later, the censor who was the first to impeach was He stood up and shouted, "Or do you dare to do it but don't take it seriously? You don't have the guts to answer at all?"

"Do you have evidence?" Zhou Yang's words almost made him lose his temper.

"Zhou Ziyang, yesterday you brought people to commit murder. One of my servants was nearby. He saw that you led the team there!" Well, not many people had the guts to watch the excitement yesterday.

"Impossible, I have never been to Hanlin Street yesterday, and I have no idea what you are talking about." Zhou Yang smiled coldly and directly denied all the accusations, "As for the evidence, Long Jinwei's second-class guard, Yulinjun's Qianhu Mr. Dongfang can prove that I was sorting out military affairs with her yesterday afternoon and there was no way I would have time to go out!"

"It's nonsense. My servants can't prove it. Why don't you just find someone?"

"Shut up!" The Hanlin who had just been impeached did not react. Kong Lu, the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, broke into a cold sweat and interrupted his men's shouts. Then he immediately turned to Zhou Yang and said, "General Zhou is interested. Since Master Dongfang can do it for The general proves that I believe the general is innocent."

At this time, everyone at the scene realized what the hell they were doing to sort out military affairs. Dongfang Bing's Long Jinwei's second-class bodyguard was only on temporary duty. He was the commander of Princess Yongchang's bodyguards. He would never be separated from his master at ordinary times. Someone meant that he was yesterday afternoon It has been in Princess Yongchang’s private residence. Is it possible that someone still dares to check?
"Thank you Master Kong for your trust!" Zhou Yang sneered and glanced at the several earth-colored imperial censors behind him, and then said, "As for instructing his men to rob Mei Hanlin's property, it is like a barking dog and is not worth refuting. I don’t dare to say much about my wealth. It’s worth millions and there’s nothing wrong with it. Why would you look down on his rags?
Also, you'd better look for evidence before impeachment. When you see something wrong with the Mei family, you think it's damaged or lost, but you don't want to ask about the situation first before speaking - Mei Hanlin, right, I wonder what happened to you in the hospital yesterday afternoon In the event of disaster, what exactly was lost?Is anyone else injured in the family? "

"No, no!" Mei Hanlin shouted almost hysterically. Maybe he realized that he was rude, and then his voice lowered, "Nothing was lost, and no one in the family was hurt - well, I It just fell and there were no obvious injuries.”

Zhou Yang smiled coldly, this is where his real confidence lies, because not only the issue of the certifier, but also the "loss" of the Mei family, neither of which is a topic that can be brought to the table for discussion - Princess Yongchang is not there People dare to ask, if Mei Hanlin still has a little face, he will not say that his wife and concubines were snatched away yesterday. Even if his heart is bleeding, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow it!
Nearly half a hundred impeachment officers turned blue with anger, and the people involved stopped talking. What was the use of beeping?It’s not that no one wanted to make a fuss and asked Princess Yongchang to accept questioning. The problem is that as long as Her Royal Highness the Princess says "I prove it", the rest of the topic will still be unable to continue. Can you use torture or what?And the cost of doing so is too high. From now on, if there is even the slightest clue, others will insist on destroying him!

Impeach?Bounce the air!
