Chapter 17 The King Has a Song

"Is he up?" Before dawn, Xu Yichan basically didn't sleep for a few hours last night, but she has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and her physical fitness is extremely strong, so she can't see the slightest tiredness.

"Nope." Xu Yichan said that he naturally referred to Ye Qiange, and Cui Yi responded.

Xu Yichan nodded, opened her arms, so that the palace maid could easily dress, after a busy while, Xu Yichan dressed neatly, and the group went out of the Flying Frost Hall and went to Jingde Palace.

Outside Jingdeok Palace.

At this time, dozens or hundreds of courtiers were already waiting here, waiting for the Holy Lord's summons.

They greeted each other in groups of three or five, and some closed their eyes and recuperated and wandered out of the world.

"Lord Chen, what should I do now?" There were more than twenty or thirty people around Chen Guzhong, all of whom were in a hurry, staring at Chen Guzhong nervously.

"Lord Chen, you asked me to jointly impeach Ye Qiange, but now it's good, kicked to the iron plate, if the emperor investigates it, we will all have to go around without eating"

"Master Chen, you quickly think of a way, we can't sit still."

Chen Guzhong's eyes were cloudy, and his face was pale.

These people clearly want to stay out of the way.

"Hmph, what do you mean by the old minister asking you to sign together." Chen Guzhong sneered: "The song is in the hands of the emperor, and it is clear who signed it or not. The emperor really blames it, we are one by one, and no one can escape. ”

"Lord Chen, what do you mean by this?" Someone said coldly.

Chen Guzhong walked around and said, "No one wants to be blamed. ”

"Nonsense." There were teasing voices from the crowd.

Chen Guzhong's eyes flashed with a cold glint and he muttered: "Don't worry, Your Majesty is wise and sageful, and will not condemn you for trivial matters, after all, Your Majesty has not been on the throne for a long time, and you need to stabilize the situation." ”

These people have been crawling and rolling in officialdom for more than ten or even decades, and some things don't need to be said too bluntly to understand the powerful relationship.

"You only need to advance and retreat with Chen, and you can keep you safe."

The officials were immediately overjoyed, and they all bowed their hands to Chen Guzhong and said, "We are all under the orders of Lord Chen." ”

Chen Guzhong waved his hand, "Which dare, which dare, just help each other in the same boat." ”

After speaking, Chen Guzhong's gaze moved to the side.

An old man who closed his eyes opened his eyes slightly, nodded slightly, and closed his eyes again.

Chen Guzhong breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and his mood was much better, so he started talking to the people around him.

"Hundreds of officials enter the court!" A shrill voice rang out.

When the courtiers heard this, they stopped talking and flocked to Jingdegong one after another.

"The emperor has arrived!"

Xu Yichan walked from the side hall to the dragon chair and sat down slowly.

"My Emperor Saint!" The hundred officials knelt down and shouted in unison.

"Zhongqing is flat." Xu Yichan raised her right hand.

The hundred officials got up and stood in rows.

"Zhongqing, there is a book!"

"The minister has a play." Chen Guzhong was the first to come out and immediately fell to the ground.

"The minister has a play."

"The Ministers Have ......"

All of a sudden, among the hundreds of officials, as many as thirty-seven people came out one after another, kneeling in front of the hall, all of them were the ministers who jointly impeached Ye Qiange yesterday.

Xu Yichan's eyes were cold, and she said, "Why is this, Zhuqing?" ”

"The minister is guilty." Chen Guzhong said loudly, and the rest of the people also shouted.

"What is the sin?" Xu Yichan's face became ugly, she wanted to take this opportunity to make trouble, but she didn't expect Chen Guzhong to confess his guilt and caught her off guard.

"Ministers should not listen to the words of others to impeach Ye Xiaowangye, please punish Your Majesty!"

"Please punish Your Majesty!" Chen Guzhong said, and the thirty-six courtiers behind him shouted in unison.

Listening to others is a high-sounding reason.

Xu Yichan sneered, and Chen Guzhong was clearly looking for himself to go under the steps.

She pondered for a moment, looking at the more than thirty ministers kneeling on the ground below, and she felt powerless for no reason.

Chen Guzhong is obviously pulling more than 30 ministers to advance and retreat together, under the guise of not holding the people accountable for the law.

She took a deep breath and her heart turned a thousand times.

More than 30 ministers, if they are condemned, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court.

But if it is not done, she should be innocent, how can she be willing.

She is the king of a country, but she is constrained at every turn, and she tries to change, but she is met with great backlash and resistance.

Yesterday's impeachment was a deliberate demonstration!

She was furious, her little hands clenched into fists in her sleeves, her nails digging deep into the flesh of her palms, but she didn't feel a trace of pain.

"If a person is not a sage, he can do no wrong." Her mouth was full of bitterness and she eventually had to compromise.

Chen Guzhong lowered his head, heard the words, and the corners of his mouth opened an arc, and his heart said, as expected.

He tilted his head slightly, glancing at the first minister standing on his right, but quickly lowered his head again.

"Secretaries-"

"The minister has a play!" At this moment, a lazy voice sounded from outside the hall.

Everyone frowned, and when they looked back, they saw a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old walking in without hurry.

"I've seen the prince!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then said respectfully.

Xu Yichan rolled her eyes, why don't you lie down on the bed and come here to do something.

Ye Qiange swaggered to the front, knelt down very reluctantly, and said loudly: "The minister Ye Qiange impeached Chen Guzhong, the secretary of the household department, Wang Jinping, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, and Ge Teng, the secretary of the criminal department, and other thirty-seven people, who were guilty of negligence, slander, bullying the king, and insulting the country. ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall, and everyone took a breath of cold air, and they all looked at Ye Qiange in horror.

This kid is going to fight Chen Guzhong endlessly.

This crime of bullying the monarch and the suspicion of humiliating the country, once one of them is confirmed, let alone the official who has not done it, I am afraid that even his life will not be saved.

Chen Guzhong and the other thirty-six ministers shook violently, and when they heard Ye Qiange say this, they were so frightened that they trembled all over, and their faces turned white.

After Ye Qiange finished speaking, he took out a fold from his arms and held it with both hands.

A eunuch took the fold and handed it to Xu Yichan.

Xu Yichan opened it and looked at it, and suddenly almost ran away.

This is a twist and turn, and it is clear that not a word is written.

Xu Yichan resisted the urge to beat people, glared at Ye Qiange fiercely, and said without changing her face: "Lord, you tell the emperor what happened to be the fault of negligence, the truth of slander, the crime of bullying the king, and the suspicion of insulting the country." ”

Chen Guzhong secretly exclaimed, and a sense of foreboding rippled in his heart.

Immediately kowtowed, "Holy Lord, the old minister has been wronged-"

"What do you shout?" Ye Qiange clasped his ears, "Shouting grievances also pays attention to the first come, first come, right, listen to the king first, and then you will not be too late to shout." ”

Everyone was embarrassed and laughed underneath.

Ye Qiange stood up, glanced at the ministers who were kneeling, and said loudly: "This king is very curious, you thirty-seven ministers impeached this king, have you ever got evidence to prove that this king plagiarized?" ”

"Chen Shangshu, I heard that you are one of the initiators, you can tell me."

Chen Guzhong broke out in a cold sweat, opened his mouth, and couldn't say a word.

"Say, yes or no!" Ye Qiange drank violently, and the whole person suddenly became vicious, his eyes were red, like a manic beast.

Chen Guzhong was taken aback, his body fell back, and his face turned pale, "No, no." ”

"No?" Ye Qiange sneered: "As a household secretary who is in charge of the treasury, taxation and military expenditure of Daxu, he is in a high position, and he actually dragged thirty-six ministers to impeach this king without any evidence. ”

"What is this non-negligence?!"
