I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 129 The Dust Falls
Kong Yanjin's wailing voice gradually drifted away, Li Tian couldn't help but feel happy, he burst out laughing, turned to look at Tang Zonghe and said with a smile:

"Tang Aiqing, is this the queen who criticized the saint?"

Tang Zonghe's face was very exciting when he heard the words, he bowed his head and bowed his hands and said:
"The old minister is disrespectful, and please forgive me."

Seeing Tang Zonghe's appearance like a defeated rooster, Zhou Mingli felt as if two pieces of old ginger were stuffed in his heart, which was very bitter.

Kong Yanjin's absence from the Imperial Academy for only a few days is not really a fault, but the trouble is that Yu Shi slipped this matter up.

There is a law in the country, and all ministers who are impeached by the censor, regardless of whether the charges are true or not, regardless of their rank, must be immediately suspended and investigated.

It would be fine if ordinary officials were investigated, but Kong Yanjin came here today to feel proud.

Suspended for a few days, so what if the emperor bowed his head, in the eyes of others, Kong Yanjin was still defeated.

Thinking of the failure of the Xiaoxiang Bamboo and Stone Picture again and again, Zhou Mingli felt even more regretful. He risked losing his official title and got nothing in the end. What was he planning?

The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty would never forget the instigator of this incident, and after recovering, Sun Yingting, who had prepared the draft, came out again, pointing directly at Zhou Mingli and saying:

"Your Majesty, Zhou Mingli used the words of omens to trap His Majesty in a place of immorality. I would like to ask all the officials of the Qin Tianjian to be interrogated to find out whether the so-called astrology is true or not."

Although it was Kong Yanjin who starved all the ministers, Zhou Mingli was the source. As soon as Sun Yingting finished speaking, dozens of ministers whose faces were blue from the cold immediately echoed.

Zhou Mingli didn't expect the consequences to come so quickly, his face changed several times, knowing that only the emperor can save him at the moment, he hurriedly bowed down, weeping and saying:
"Your Majesty, how can a humble official seek his own government in his position, and end up being attacked by all the officials?"

"It's a joke." Sun Yingting was sure that there must be something wrong with the so-called astrology, and Sun Yingting immediately refuted:

"Your Majesty Zhou's so-called seeking power in his position, is he using specious things to intimidate His Majesty?"

Li Tian was aware of the so-called self-discipline, and waved his hand to signal Sun Yingting to back down:

"Zhou Jianzheng is also sincere for my own good, so you don't have to be so aggressive."

Hearing this, Zhou Mingli was so excited that he couldn't help himself. He knocked his head on the ground and said with his nose and tears:
"It is truly a blessing for the people of the world to have such a wise and wise king as Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhou Mingli's runny nose, Sun Yingting was filled with contempt.

Because of an unwarranted astrology, the emperor and the court officials had a dispute, even if Zhou Mingli was dismissed and exiled for eight hundred miles, it would not be an exaggeration.

The emperor set the tone, and all the ministers naturally didn't dare to hold on to Zhou Mingli, bowed to Li Tian, ​​and returned to the queue obediently.

When Zhou Mingli also stood up tremblingly and returned to the queue, Li Tian turned to look at Yang Shiqi and said with a smile:

"Shiqi, can we discuss the establishment of a new judicial office now?"

Yang Shiqi looked at Li Tian with a tacit understanding for a moment, then smiled, bowed out to face the officials, and began to tell the story of the new yamen.

Unlike Kong Yanjin's long speeches, Yang Shiqi had almost no nonsense in his mouth, but in a short while, he explained the detailed rules of the newly established yamen's functions.

Listening to Yang Shiqi's mouth about the yamen specially set up for the lowly people, Tang Zonghe blushed with embarrassment. He actually blocked this matter before, and he was really a dignified Dali Temple.

After Yang Shiqi said something, the officials immediately began to discuss heatedly. Tang Zong closed his lips and moved, almost wanting to speak, but thinking about his categorical objection before, he still kept his mouth shut.

Glancing at Tang Zonghe's constipated face, Li Tian couldn't help but laugh out loud, tapped the handle of the dragon chair unconsciously with his right hand, and said with a three-point tease in his tone:
"Tang Aiqing, does Dali Temple still object to this matter?"

The emperor opened his mouth, and the officials fell silent. Tang Zonghe hurriedly stood up with a face of shame:

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the old minister takes back his previous words, and Dali Temple is willing to transfer all subordinate officials for the new yamen."

"That's right." Laughing, Li Tian stood up, straightened his face, and said in a deep voice:
"Zirong, draw up my will. The imperial court newly established a fifth-rank judicial office, which Yang Shiqi will be in charge of. The Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, and the three divisions of the Dali Temple must cooperate fully and make no mistakes."

As soon as the decree of Zheng'er Bajing was announced, all the officials had a serious face. Jin Youde, the censor of the left capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Lu Zhen, the censor of the right capital, Huang Bichang, the secretary of the Ministry of punishment, and Tang Zong, the secretary of the Dali Temple, came out in unison. bowed;

"The ministers obey the order."

If it was an early morning court on weekdays, then the third office and the cabinet would come to Poting to discuss, but today the old man Kong Yanjin was delayed for too long.

Li Tian couldn't bear to let the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty discuss matters on an empty stomach, and immediately announced the disbandment of the court.

All the ministers showed joy when they heard the words, and after shouting "Long Live Your Majesty" a few times, they rushed out of the hall impatiently.

Seeing the anxious expressions of the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty, Li Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing, and looked aside Jiang Baodao:

"Kong Yanjin has offended the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty so badly."

"Who made him put on airs after Kong Sheng, he deserved it."

……

In the apse of Chengtian Palace, Yu Jie'an, who was specially left by Li Tian, ​​was fidgeting and waiting to see him.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Yu Jie'an got up quickly, walked to the screen in twos and twos, bowed and saluted:
"Wei Chen greets His Majesty."

Seeing Yu Jie'an's panic-stricken appearance, Li Tian rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed, as if he had frightened this future pillar of Ming Dynasty.

Instead of helping Yu Jie'an to get up with his own hands, Li Tian put on a stern face, strode past Yu Jie'an, and deliberately said in a lukewarm tone:
"Come in, I have ordered the imperial meal supervisor to pass on the meal."

"The minister obeys the order."

Meals from the Imperial Food Supervisor came very quickly. After all, in the past, there were times when the emperor and all the officials ate and discussed in Fengtian Hall.

Glancing at a table full of delicacies, Yu Jie'an, who hadn't eaten breakfast, swallowed his saliva, but he dared not eat at the same table with the emperor no matter what.

Seeing Yu Jie'an's gluttonous appearance of wanting to eat but not daring to eat, Li Tian couldn't hold back any longer, and burst out laughing:
"Okay, I've had breakfast a long time ago, this table is for you."

"Ah." Yu Jie'an exclaimed when he heard the words, and saluted deeply in fear:

"How dare a humble official eat imperial food, Your Majesty will not punish this humble official."

"If I tell you to eat, you can eat it. Mother-in-law and mother, why didn't I see that you were timid when I impeached Kong Yanjin?"

Speaking of Kong Yanjin, Yu Jie'an's expression changed, and he immediately became angry again:

"Your Majesty, Kong Yanjin is gaining fame, and it is the duty of the humble minister to impeach him. How can he be confused with the royal meal."

"Hurry up and eat yours, take off the clothes after eating, and go to the cabinet to report to Yang Shiqi."
