The king behind the empress

Chapter 41 The authority of Yu Zhiji
Hearing Mo Zizai's words, the entire Xuanzheng Palace was in an uproar.

"Bold, you..."

Hu Xiaosheng pointed at Mo Zizai and was about to say something when he heard a "choke" sound, and the dragon unsheathed his sword and put it on his neck, making him choke back the rest of his words.

"My lord, if you...have something to say, don't... don't do it."

The extremely cold Long Zai sword rested on Hu Xiaosheng's neck, leaving him in a cold sweat. He really didn't expect that Mo Zizai would dare to draw the sword even if there was a disagreement.

This is in the Golden Temple, my God.

Hu Xiaosheng said tremblingly: "My lord, if there is something wrong with me, just tell me and I will correct it."

"Don't talk about rebellion. You are a noble man, so how can you say that you rebelled yourself?"

Not only Hu Xiaosheng, but the entire Golden Luan Hall was a little nervous, and even the Habayashi soldiers put their hands on the hilts of their swords. Although the Empress said that Mo Zizai can have no restrictions in the palace, having no restrictions does not mean making him rebel.

If the empress hadn't expressed anything now, I'm afraid they would have rushed to take Mo Zizai down immediately.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Weishang, was also a little apprehensive at first. Just when he was about to stand up to dissuade Mo Zizai, he raised his eyes and saw Qiu Wuping who had been standing beside the empress.

The old guy seemed to be asleep with his eyes closed, and seemed to be ignorant of what was happening in the Xuanzheng Hall, and the empress next to him also reacted strangely, although her expression was also very surprised, but she didn't seem to be panicked at all.

Seeing this, Yang Weishang immediately understood, stood halfway up, sat back down again, and quietly watched the farce in front of him.

"Mo Zizai, Mr. Hu is a third-rank minister of the imperial court, you dare to hold him hostage, you are rebelling!"

Just when Mo Zizai was about to say something, there was a sudden outcry among the officials, which made Mo Zizai and Hu Xiaosheng a little surprised. They turned their heads and found that the person who said this was Du Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment. .

"This grandson is really bad."

Mo Zizai felt a little emotional in his heart, Du Xing obviously wanted to prove his crime of rebellion, and by the way, he killed Hu Xiaosheng with a sword, which really killed two birds with one stone.

But Mo Zizai can also understand, after all, Du Xing's son was killed by him, and he can understand that he wanted him to die. Hu Xiaosheng directly, anyway, he is not in the same faction with him, and he will die if he dies.

As for Hu Xiaosheng, if it wasn't for the sword on his neck now, he would have slapped Du Xing two big mouths now, it's too fucking bad.

"My lord, don't listen to his nonsense, how can you count this as a hostage, you are... are..."

Hu Xiaosheng thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out how to justify Mo Zizai, and he stammered there for a long time.

"This king is playing with you."

Mo Zizai didn't intend to hack Hu Xiaosheng to death right now, he raised his arm slightly, put his sword back into its sheath, and said flatly: "This king was slandered by Master Hu, and I was furious for a moment, didn't you scare Master Hu?"

"No... no."

Hu Xiaosheng wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, then quickly stepped back a few steps, away from Mo Zizai.

"A moment of anger?"

Qian Min, Shangshu of the Household Department, snorted coldly, and said angrily: "The prince draws his sword to threaten the third-rank officials, can this be considered a moment of anger?"

"Why, allow him to slander the king, and not allow the king to threaten him?"

"Why do you slander me!"

Hiding in the crowd, Qian Min, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, was not very afraid of being uncomfortable. He shouted loudly: "You ordered your subordinates to raid the house of a third-rank official without reason. Isn't this slander?"

"I said Mr. Qian Ge, are you deaf?"

Mo Zizai looked at Qian Min in the crowd, and said sarcastically, "This king has made it clear that he suspects that he is deceiving the emperor, that's why he went to raid his home."

After listening to Mo Zizai's explanation, Qian Min became even angrier, "You are going to copy the house of a third-rank official just based on your suspicions. Are you rebelling or what?"

"The imperial court has its own rules and regulations. Don't say that you suspect that he is deceiving the emperor. Even if he really committed such a heinous crime, there are also imperial court's laws and regulations to punish him."

"You have no right to copy Mr. Hu's house directly, not to mention you, even His Majesty can't do that."

What Qian Min said is correct, third-rank officials are already the core important ministers of the imperial court, let alone being suspected, even if they really committed the crime of deceiving the emperor, they can only be interrogated by the three courts, and finally Only after being convicted can the house be ransacked or other punishments be imposed.

Those who come up directly to search their homes like this are really no different from rebellion.

"Sorry, Your Majesty can't, I can."

Mo Zizai leaned on the sword with both hands, and showed a smile on his face, "Let me re-introduce, this king is now also the head of the Yuzhi Division. I suspect that Mr. Hu is deceiving the king, so I want to raid his home."

"Old Qian Ge, do you think this king's words are much more reasonable? Is it in line with the court's law?"

"Yu... Yuzhiji?"

Hearing the words Yu Zhisi, not only Qian Min, but everyone was shocked, especially Du Xing, Minister of the Ministry of Justice, he blurted out subconsciously, "Isn't Yu Zhisi dismissed?"

Hearing Du Xing say that Yu Zhisi was abolished, Zhou Qi asked indifferently, "Master Du, I wonder when my Yu Zhisi was abolished?"

"at……"

Du Xing just wanted to say three years ago, but his words suddenly froze when he reached the point of his mouth, because he suddenly remembered that although with Zhou Qi going to protect Mo Zizai, Yu Zhisi gradually became an empty office, even the resident It was taken up by other yamen.

But even so, Yuzhisi was not abolished, because it was directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, and no one could abolish Yuzhisi if the emperor didn't speak up.

Looking at Du Xing who was frozen in place, Mo Zizai waved his hand, "Chen Ying, go, help Mr. Hu count his family property, and see if he has deceived the king."

"Wait a minute!" Hearing that Mo Zizai said that he wanted to copy his own home, Hu Xiaosheng, who was hiding far away, became anxious, "Even if you are Yu Zhisi, why would you copy the official's home without evidence!"

This time, because there was no signal from Mo Zizi, Chen Ying ignored Hu Xiaosheng at all, and led people directly to Hu Xiaosheng's mansion outside the palace.

"Sorry, Lord Hu."

The smile on Mo Zizai's face was a bit bright, but it was full of sarcasm, "I, Yuzhisi, never need evidence for my work."

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, the Xuanzheng Palace fell into a dead silence, because Mo Zizai's words were one of the greatest powers of Yu Zhisi, and he directly handled the case without evidence.

But this kind of authority cannot be used easily. If after handling the case, it is found to be a wrong case, then the head of Yuzhi Division will have to pay the price for it.

So this authority was never used once when Zhou Qi was the director. I didn't expect that now that Mo Zizai was the director, he would amplify his tricks when he came up.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Hu Xiaosheng with sympathy.

Hu Xiaosheng must be determined, now it depends on how much he has corrupted, if it is less, then maybe a dismissal and investigation will be over, but if it is too corrupt, I am afraid he will be beheaded for public display.

But thinking of Hu Xiaosheng's usually greedy character, everyone couldn't help shaking their heads secretly in their hearts.

Perhaps, it is also possible to copy and chop the whole family.

　I also think that my writing is a bit slow, and the plot is procrastinated, but I will not simplify it, I am afraid that it will be bad if it just collapses like the previous book.

　　So I can only write as much as possible, see if I can add a little more, and make up for it a little bit.
