An impeachment that was tantamount to a farce ended with Chang Shuirong, the left attendant of the Imperial Historical Stage, being fined for one year and extending his staff for twenty years.

On top of the dragon chair.

Emperor Zhengde asked three times again.

This time, there were no surprises.

"Smack!"

Zhan Zhu, the big eunuch on the side, shook the long whip in his hand again.

The civil and military officials couldn't help but look serious.

Everybody knows.

The highlight of today's court meeting has begun.

Emperor Zhengde slowly got up and stepped on the high platform.

"Since the outbreak of the drought in Guanzhong, there has been no harvest in Qinchuan for 800 miles."

"Hundreds of thousands of people in Guanzhong have been displaced, and every time I think about it, my heart hurts."

"Have mercy on my people, why is this!"

Emperor Zhengde paused and faced the civil and military officials.

"However, after the drought broke out, I ordered the local county government to open a warehouse and release grain several times!"

"He even did not hesitate to mobilize grain from the counties of the Central Plains for disaster relief."

"However, the end result was not satisfactory."

"Do you know what the problem is?"

Emperor Zhengde asked loudly, and his voice was like a loud bell, ringing heavily in the hearts of every official.

Quiescence.

Deathly silence.

Just when the hall fell into a deathly silence, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military eyes looked at the nose and the nose looked at the heart.

Emperor Zhengde spoke loudly again: "It's because there is a problem with the people's parents. ”

"It's because there is rat poop among the parents of the people! The black sheep (of the family)! ”

"Since the beginning of the disaster relief, a total of 46 officials have been beheaded by me for corruption!"

"Inside, it includes the three Jing Zhaoyin of Chang'an City!"

"Ladies and gentlemen, are the officials of my Great Zhou Dynasty and the parents and officials on whom the people depend really rotten to such a degree?"

Emperor Zhengde was heartbroken, and his voice unconsciously brought sadness.

Quiescence.

It's still a dead silence.

No official dared to touch Emperor Zhengde's brow at this time.

The crown prince Xu Yong even lowered his head, looking at his nose and nose.

"Or is the greed of those people so strong that they are not even afraid of slashing all the doors?"

"Huh."

"Dumb?"

Emperor Zhengde sneered, and his gaze swept over every official in the audience.

Seeing that everyone was in a state of looking at their noses and noses, they couldn't help but feel a burst of fire in their hearts.

Just when Emperor Zhengde couldn't help but be furious.

Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a person, who was standing upright, neither humble nor arrogant, when everyone lowered their heads.

He was still standing as usual.

That person was Xu Yi, the sixth prince.

For some reason, Emperor Zhengde, who was about to be furious, turned around and walked towards the dragon chair.

"Ladies and gentlemen, is there a solution to the drought in Guanzhong?"

Emperor Zhengde's voice sounded again.

This time, no one dared to pretend to be deaf and dumb.

One by one, ideas came out of the mouths of those officials.

Some people say that disaster relief starts with punishing corruption.

Some people say that grain should be mobilized again to ease the situation in Guanzhong.

Hundreds of people talk about it, but they are all commonplace topics.

This couldn't help but make Emperor Zhengde's brows furrow.

"Silence!"

Emperor Zhengde roared impatiently.

"Smack!"

Zhan Zhu, the great eunuch beside him, waved the long whip in his hand at the right time.

In an instant, the entire court fell silent again.

"Hundreds of people and hundreds of words, but they are all clichés, which is really ridiculous."

"Since everyone knows so much about good strategies, if everyone elects a Jing Zhaoyin again, what about the disaster relief matters of the Commander-in-Chief?"

Emperor Zhengde sneered and said slowly.

Dead.

It's still a dead silence.

In less than a year, three Jing Zhaoyin have been revoked.

Who dares to take office now?

I saw that everyone looked at their noses and noses again one by one.

Which official who can go to the step of court deliberations is not an old fox?

How can you not understand the truth of fishing in troubled waters and not holding the public accountable by the law?

Even if some officials have the heart to serve the people, they do not dare to stand up and become the target of public criticism at this moment.

"Shangguan Lu."

Emperor Zhengde sneered and slowly pointed out the name of Shangguan Lu, the first assistant of the first dynasty.

"The minister thinks that Zhang Xun, the left waiter of the household department, can take on this important task."

"First, the allocation of disaster relief grain is the responsibility of the household department, and Zhang Shilang, as the household minister, is naturally very familiar with this."

"Second, since Zhang Shilang took office, he has been conscientious and has never made a single mistake.

Shangguan Lu said loudly.

Unexpectedly, Shangguan Lu's voice just fell.

There was a loud bang behind him.

The civil and military officials couldn't help but look back, only to see a middle-aged man in a crimson court robe with a pale face and fall to the ground.

And this person is the left waiter Zhang Xun of the household department mentioned by Shangguan Lu earlier.

"Your Majesty...... Minister...... The minister also wants to take over this position, Nai ..... However, the minister is powerless. ”

"It's not a secret...... Minister..... On the eve of the winter solstice, the old disease relapsed, and he was about to ask His Majesty to resign after the ceremony. ”

"How..... How did you expect to be dizzy, alas! ”

Zhang Xun, the left waiter of the household department, sighed powerlessly with a disastrous face.

He would rather resign than wade into troubled waters.

Although resignation is far from power, he can still be a rich man in his hometown.

If you wade into this troubled water, don't say that you will be promoted and make a fortune, and the whole family will probably die.

As he spoke, Zhang Xun's face suddenly changed, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out directly.

"Doctor Chuan!"

Emperor Zhengde looked at Zhang Xun, who was pale, expressionlessly, with a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Thank you...... Your Majesty Longen ......"

"Minister..... This is an old disease, and there is no medical treatment for the medicine, so it is better not to trouble Your Majesty. ”

Zhang Xun's face turned even paler, it was true that he was suffering from an old disease, but it was by no means as serious as he said.

If the stuffing is exposed, it's too late.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Shilang is suffering from an old illness, and the minister also knows about it."

"I also hope that Your Majesty will be gracious and allow Zhang Shilang to return to his hometown."

Yao Yanjin, a scholar of the Imperial Palace, stood up and guaranted.

Emperor Zhengde glanced at Yao Yanjin deeply, and then waved his big hand and said, "Yes." ”

"I don't know if Yao Aiqing has anyone to recommend?"

Emperor Zhengde's voice was as usual, and he couldn't hear the slightest joy or anger.

"The minister thinks that disaster relief should stop greed first."

"The minister thinks that Lou Wenyi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, can take on this big responsibility."

"First, the Criminal Department is already responsible for cases across the country and has the right to arraign, and the punishment of corruption is within the scope of the Criminal Department's responsibilities."

"Second, most of the forty-six corrupt officials were arrested by Lou Shilang, and they should be more sophisticated in punishing Lou Shilang."

Yao Yanjin, a scholar of the Jinshen Palace, slowly analyzed one by one.

Xu Yi's eyes flickered, and he moved from Yao Yanjin's back to Shangguan Lu on the side.

Then he withdrew his gaze, looked at his nose and his nose and his heart.

The recommendation of the two of them is nothing more than a dog-eat-dog in Xu Yi's opinion.

That Zhang Xun was obviously an official of Yao Yanjin's family.

And Lou Wenyi, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, didn't have to think about it, and knew that it must be the first line of Shangguan Shoufu.

It was a good show. ’

'This meeting of the Great Zhou Dynasty is far more exciting than I imagined. ’

The first assistant and the second assistant attack each other is obviously not once or twice.

It's just that I pity the left waiter of the household department and the right waiter of the criminal department.

The two unlucky ghosts undoubtedly fell victim to this battle.

Xu Yi sneered in his heart and silently started to eat melons.
