Xie Xun was stunned by the emperor's anger and glared stupidly.

After a long while, he asked tremblingly, "Well, why is the emperor angry?" ”

"You kneel down for me." The Emperor pointed to the cold, hard marble floor.

There was no carpet on the floor of the imperial study, just to punish the courtiers who made mistakes.

"The minister didn't make a mistake......

Xie Xun muttered aggrievedly, his legs sliding at a turtle speed, and when his knees touched the ground, he deliberately grinned exaggeratedly.

"Your Majesty, the minister's knee hurts. The minister was just assassinated......"

"You're embarrassed to cry out for pain~" The emperor frowned angrily and pointed to the stacks of folds on the royal table, "These are all impeachments against you, can you tell me what to do yourself?" ”

"What's the matter with the Imperial History?"

Xie Xun rubbed his knees, not paying much attention to it.

"Impeach you for public and private use!"

"Impeach you for overstepping your authority!"

"Impeach you for killing innocents indiscriminately!"

Every time the emperor said a word, he threw a bunch of folds.

Xie Xun stopped moving and knelt down obediently.

"What kind of bullshit is this?"

"What are you muttering? Speak up and let me hear it. ”

He wanted to see what kind of crooked reasoning he could make up.

"Your Majesty, the impeachment of those imperial histories by the ministers is unreasonable."

The Emperor snorted scoffingly.

It's unreasonable for you to fall into the imperial history?

Xie Xun honked righteously.

"Protecting the people of the capital from being persecuted and harassed by the bad guys is the duty of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Jingzhao Mansion. There were bullies in the West Market who oppressed the people, and even involved in murders, and rumors spread everywhere, which almost affected the stability of the entire West Market. Isn't it a matter for them to deal with it and make the people angry? In this matter, the minister is at most a messenger to lead the way. In the people, the person who reported the news can still receive a reward of silver, how can it become a public weapon for private use when he goes to the minister, and he oversteps his authority? ”

Xie Xun grabbed the loose bun and looked like he couldn't figure it out. The crown of hair on his head, which was already crooked, was scratched by him a few times, and it became crumbling.

"If that's the case, then who will dare to report the bad guys to the government in the future?"

"Or do you mean that those Imperial Historians don't know the scope of responsibilities of the Jingzhao Mansion and the Five Cities Terracotta Division?"

Xie Xun nodded in understanding, "If that's the case, it's understandable." ”

Forgive your mother!

The imperial historian can't even figure out the scope of responsibilities of the various ministries of the imperial court, so what kind of official should he be?

This is more serious than impeaching the wrong crime.

cough cough cough, the emperor disguised a few fake coughs, "What about indiscriminate killing of innocents?" I heard that seven or eight people died in the liquor store......"

"This minister is even more wronged~" Xie Xun shouted and interrupted, kneeling to the imperial table, "The minister has given a heavy reward, which of the brothers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division doesn't want to catch alive?" It was they who hid poison in their mouths and cut themselves off. What about the work? Don't they all have to do an autopsy? ”

Of course, the autopsy has been examined, but those imperial histories are speculative scripts of the holy will, so naturally they don't care about these.

The emperor was slapped in the face again and again, and his heart began to suffocate.

"Since you don't have the slightest personal purpose in it, why should you reward the officers and soldiers who followed you to the West Market?"

The emperor finally found a new breakthrough, "Ordinary officers and soldiers received one tael of silver, lieutenants received five taels, those who participated in the fight in the wine shop received ten taels of silver, and the dead and wounded received a pension of five hundred taels or even one thousand taels of silver." This time, you spent at least 10,000 taels of silver. What are you drawing? ”

Xie Xun's black and white eyes looked directly at the emperor, "Does the imperial court have a criminal law that stipulates that the people can't give silver rewards to officers and soldiers?" ”

The emperor really didn't want to shake his head and deny it, but there really was no such penal law.

The salaries of the imperial court were low, especially for ordinary officers and soldiers, and the monthly salaries were only 100 copper plates, and they couldn't eat enough. Occasionally, they help merchants and officials do private work outside and get some rewards, as long as those officers and soldiers are on duty seriously and do not make trouble, the court will turn a blind eye.

"The minister is rewarded, just for the good brother of the minister, Chu Jue. His father is a Tobe Shangshu. Chu Jue said that his father had been scolded by other ministries in recent months, and he didn't even bother to go to the warehouse of the household department. ”

The minister thought, if those officers and soldiers do their jobs well, how can the court not reward them? With this reward, Chu Shangshu will be in trouble. Chu Shangshu is not having a good time in the Yamen, and he can't beat Chu Jue when he goes back? If you are a brother, you can't cause trouble for your brother! Anyway, the minister has a lot of silver, so he will help his brother. ”

Xie Xun scratched his head and pouted, "If that's wrong, then let the household department come out with this ......"

"No!" The emperor interrupted anxiously, and pressed down with his right hand again and again, "You're right! ”

I was wrong, okay!

If he continues to talk about this, he will be picked again.

This time it's tens of thousands of taels!

The tax silver of the whole country, less than half a month after it was collected, has a place to go, a radish and a pit, not to mention 10,000 taels, even a hundred taels of idle silver, can not be taken out.

In the end, he had to pick out the emperor's inner treasury......

For the sake of silver, the emperor decided to hold back the mouthful of old blood that rushed to his throat, and pulled the corners of his mouth stiffly, "I mistakenly believed the words of those imperial histories before, but now that they have been explained clearly." Get up. ”

Xie Xun didn't get up, tilted his head to the emperor, "The emperor scolded the ministers and punished them for kneeling, is that it?" ”

"And what are you going to do?" The Emperor wrinkled his eyebrows.

"Naturally, I want to punish those imperial historians who have sick brains! Even the ministers can think of things, but they don't understand, they are stupid and unworthy of being officials. Take the official positions of those guys and let them go home and eat themselves! ”

The emperor was bitter in his heart.

has been impeached twice in a row without mistakes, is it that everyone has a temper, not to mention the domineering and accustomed No. 1 gentleman in the capital?

Even if it is put on the court, the imperial history impeached the officials indiscriminately, and after the investigation of this matter, the imperial history will be demoted or even expelled from office.

It's just that the number of imperial historians who have observed the holy will this time is a bit large......

But if he didn't deal with it, he was afraid that in the early dynasty, the people sent by Xie would make trouble, and it would be even more troublesome.

Ahem, cough~

The emperor covered his mouth and coughed, and An Shun hurriedly sent warm tea.

The emperor drank slowly, wiped his mouth with a silk handkerchief, and then looked at Xie Xun again.

"You have been wronged this time, and those imperial historians will be punished later. As compensation, I have only entered the palace as an errand boy, and your official position cannot be promoted again, otherwise you will be impeached again. By the way, your eldest brother is only six grades, which is too low. Anshun proposed to promote him to the rank of captain of the fifth grade......"

"Your Majesty!" Xie Xun interrupted loudly, his chest bulging, "You don't seem to be making amends to your ministers, right?" ”

The emperor patted his head, "Look, why did you forget that you didn't get along with your eldest brother...... But I have said everything and cannot take it back. Next time, I will double my compensation for you. ”

Damn, you pressed my face to the ground and rubbed it I don't know how many times, I retaliated, what's wrong?

I'm just going to disgust you!

When your eldest brother enters the palace, I have prepared a bigger gift box for you to unpack.

"I'm tired, kneel down. I haven't been in the palace on an errand for the past few days, and you've been tired for the past two days. After resting, enter the palace with your eldest brother. ”

Before he could make this deflated person enter the palace, the emperor didn't want to see this face again.

Xie Xun could only kneel and leave.

"Anshun, you say, is he real or fake?"

The emperor squinted at Xie Xun's back as he left.

Xie Xun once again jumped over the pit he had dug safely, making him have to think more.

After all, he'd seen too many people who were good at disguise.

If Xie Xun is not a real man, then he is an extremely formidable opponent.
