Chapter 69: Unwillingness

Although Zhang Shan's eyes were full of pain, behind the invisible to everyone, there was a strong hatred.

He was sure that this matter must have something to do with His Majesty, otherwise he would not have sat here so calmly waiting for these victims to take the initiative to bring it up.

"Your Majesty, please be the master of the old minister!"

"Your Majesty, the old minister also has ......"

One by one, the ministers knelt down, and at last there were a full twelve.

These people are all scandal-ridden families, and the reason why they are kneeling now is nothing more than because someone made a start, and then because they will officially start screening the draft girls in a few days, if this matter has not been resolved, then they will have no chance at all.

You must know that there must be no scandal in the draft of the show girl, which is an insult to the royal family and a big disrespect.

If His Majesty agrees, then this soft rule will naturally be mentioned by no one.

It's just that it has been four or five days since this incident happened, and His Majesty doesn't even have an attitude, and it is still the same as on weekdays, only today he has been silent for more than four hours without saying anything.

By this time, they had already understood that today might be their last chance.

"Your Majesty, there has been unbearable news circulating in Beijing in the past few days, if it is something else, the old minister will not say anything, but this matter is related to the reputation of the royal family, the old minister has to say more, and ask Your Majesty to investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Oh! That's what happened. Zhao Yufeng smiled inexplicably, put down the book in his hand and said, "Then Zhang Aiqing thinks how to solve this matter is appropriate?" ”

"This ...... There are a lot of people involved, and all of them are loyal ministers who have been with you for many years, if Your Majesty can't investigate this matter thoroughly, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of the old ministers. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty! Lao Chen's daughter doesn't go out of the door, she stays at home all day, and she is inexplicably entangled in the scandal of a flower thief, others don't know, can Lao Chen himself not know, she is still innocent now, just because of those unwarranted rumors......"

"Your Majesty, please call the shots!"

The kneeling people kowtowed and cried one after another, as if they were afraid that others would not know about their grievances, although the rhetoric was different, but the only thing they had in common was that they all emphasized that their daughters were still innocent and had not been tarnished at all.

And the reason for this, I want to know that if you can't turn over, then this person is ruined.

I can't participate in the draft in this life, although there is not only one woman in the family, but now the people who suffer are the people they have carefully cultivated for more than ten years, and now they have to be wasted because of a few fluttering words, how can they be willing?

The following speeches are one after another, looking at the excitement is not a big deal, the people in it are in a worried mood, only Zhao Yufeng has such a flat expression from beginning to end.

When they gradually calmed down, Zhao Yufeng said lightly: "Are you done?" ”

There was silence below.

"Then let me say a few words. Are you complaining about me? ”

At first glance, his voice was smiling, but if you listened closely, you could hear the chill in his words.

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare!"

The man on his knees lowered his head again and again and said that he had been wronged.

Joke! Where can they afford such a crime?

Even if there is a great grievance, as long as it is linked to this matter, it is a great disrespect and a crime to be beheaded!

"Heh, how do I feel, you don't seem to be for the royal reputation, but for your own people to enter the palace smoothly."

Zhao Yufeng said the worries in their hearts.

This is an open secret known to everyone present, and I thought that His Majesty would be a little concerned about the face of the ministers, but I didn't expect him to say it like this.

"Your Majesty, there is no such thing!"

"Your Majesty Mingjian!"

“……”

The ministers were babbling to prove that they had no such intentions, and the lobby suddenly became a mess, which had never happened before!

You must know that being so noisy in the court is actually a kind of disrespect.

It's just that it's all come to this point, who cares about these things?

Zhao Yufeng didn't stop it, and read quietly again, and the people below began to doubt each other again.

Just when they were about to fight, Zhao Yufeng's words calmed down all the people below.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... as soon as his words came out, the following immediately became quiet, and the ministers returned to their positions and knelt, their moods were unprecedentedly nervous.

"I will naturally give you justice in this matter, and the flower thief will definitely be caught, but the draft is imminent, and before the matter is revealed, your draft quota will be temporarily withdrawn by the Ministry of Rites. The reputation of your daughters is important, and so is the innocence of the royal family, isn't it? ”

When his words fell, the hearts of those people were blank, and the only word that appeared was - finished.

Although His Majesty said that he would investigate the matter, what he meant was that they would not be able to participate in this draft.

Joke! If you can't participate this time, even if it comes out after a while, you will have to wait for another three years for the next draft, and by then, your daughter will become an old girl, how can you participate?!

Never!

Zhang Shan's face was white and blue for a while, and it looked wonderful, and the faces of other people were naturally not much better, obviously everyone was thinking about the same thing.

Seeing that Zhao Yufeng was about to make a final decision, everyone else was hesitating and not speaking, only Zhang Shan, with a stiff neck, kowtowed again.

"Your Majesty, it's just that there are many ministers involved, so it's better for Your Majesty to investigate the flower thief first, and the draft can be put on hold for the time being."

As soon as he said this, Zhao Yufeng couldn't help laughing: "Didn't Zhang Qing first ask me for the draft?" For the sake of the Northwest War, I said that you would put it aside first, but why did you ask for the draft to be put on hold in the first place? ”

Zhang Shan's face was pale, and anger was faintly flowing between his eyebrows, but when facing Zhao Yufeng, he didn't dare to have any anger at all.

I guess the people around me are laughing right now!

But even so, he can't let the draft go ahead as scheduled, and this opportunity must not be missed!

"Your Majesty, please think twice!" He said without looking up.

At this time, the voice of the eunuch suddenly came from outside the door.

"Your Majesty! The lord of Fanghua asked to see him. ”
