Chapter 450: Good advice is offensive
After watching Zhao Xing drive away, the Han family entered the house.
"You go back to your room first, Qing'er will come with me to see your father!"
Mrs. Han sent her daughter-in-law and grandchildren away with a cold face, and took Han Qing to the backyard.
Because Zhao Xing kept Dr. Xu, Han Zhang was still pretending to be sick on the bed.
Mrs. Han entered the house and sent the servants out.
"Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Seeing that his wife's face looked strange, Han Zhang asked in confusion.
Mrs. Han said with an ugly face: "Your Majesty wants Sister Nazhu to enter the palace, and Qing'er has already agreed!"
"What?"
Han Zhang's face turned pale when he heard this and he glared at his son: "You're such a traitor, how dare you agree to such a thing?"
"Father, Your Majesty spoke in person, and you also said before that His Majesty would not agree to a promotion for his son. You did not say that His Majesty would not agree to the promotion of Sister Nazhu." Han Qing said aggrievedly.
"You..."
Han Zhang pointed at his son, his face turned green and red with anger, and he almost fainted without taking a breath.
"Master, are you okay?"
Mrs. Han quickly stepped forward and helped Han Zhang along his back.
After a while, Han Zhang came to his senses and cursed angrily: "How come I, Han Zhang, have a son as stupid as a pig like you! You directly said that Sister Zhu's marriage has been arranged, can the official family still be serious?"
"But that's cheating!"
"Do you think the officials can't tell that I'm pretending to be ill? Even the imperial doctor is not a god. If he hadn't known that I was pretending to be ill, how dare Dr. Xu guarantee that I would be able to cure me? The officials didn't expose me for pretending to be ill. "Sister Nazhu, haven't you thought about the problems involved?" Han Zhang shouted angrily.
"Son...son..."
Han Qing opened his mouth. He was so happy when he heard that Zhao Xing was going to canonize his daughter as a virtuous concubine that he didn't think about it.
"Lord!"
At this moment, Chang Sui's voice came from outside the door.
Han Zhang took a deep breath and said: "Come in!"
Changsui walked into the room, bowed and said: "Just now news came from the palace that many officials went to kneel outside Longtuge to petition, asking the officials to severely punish the Minister of Punishment!"
"It's too late, it's too late for everything." Han Zhang sighed.
Based on Zhao Xing's previous attitude, these people might not end well.
But his granddaughter Han Zhang was canonized as a virtuous concubine. What will the world think of him then?
…………
Zhao Xing didn't know what happened to the Han family. On his way back to the palace, he learned that many officials were kneeling to petition outside Longtuge. He sneered and ordered that all those officials be taken down and imprisoned.
When Zhao Xing returned to the palace, everyone had been taken away.
"How many people were arrested in total?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Thirty-seven officials in total!" Sanshui replied.
"There are only thirty-seven people, which is a bit small."
Zhao Xing sneered and said, "Send Yin Hanzhang over."
"Yes!" Sanshui responded.
After a while, Sanshui walked in with an anxious expression.
"Your Majesty, all the ministers are here except the eldest minister, and there are also some important officials in the court who are looking for an audience!" Sanshui said. "Let them in!" Zhao Xu said.
"Yes!" Sanshui responded and stepped out. After a while, he led a group of officials in.
These officials entered the main hall, knelt down after saluting, and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please release the officials who petitioned!"
"Petition?"
Zhao Xing looked coldly at the officials there, including Xianggong Yu and Xianggong Shen, including Hai Wenyou.
"They are trying to force me to have a baby. Do you want to force me to have a baby now?"
"Your Majesty!"
Xianggong Shen said: "I am just admonishing your majesty, and have no intention of forcing the palace."
"You don't have any intention of forcing a baby?"
Zhao Xing sneered and said: "Then what are you doing kneeling down? Are you not going to get up if I don't agree? Or are you going to die in this hall and leave your name forever? If I don't follow your wishes at all, I will kneel down. If you can’t afford it, why don’t you say you’re not forced to have an abortion?”
"I don't dare!" Everyone shouted, but had no intention of getting up.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do? I will listen to you."
After Zhao Xing finished speaking, he said in a deep voice: "Where is Mr. Living?"
"I'm here!"
The living man on the side quickly stepped forward to salute.
"I ask you, how would you record this situation?" Zhao Xing asked.
"This..." Qi Ju Lang said: "Your Majesty, the content recorded in the daily records cannot be told to Your Majesty. The merits and demerits of right and wrong should be judged by future generations!"
"What a great one to be commented upon by future generations!"
Zhao Xing smiled and clapped his hands and said: "I guess, if I agree to their request, future generations will judge me for being open-minded in accepting advice, and will praise them for having the courage to remonstrate directly. If I don't agree, future generations will judge me as mediocre and unwilling to accept good advice. I will still do it. Praise them for being virtuous and upright, and for having the courage to speak out.”
"Ms. Shen, tell me, what is this if not forcing a woman to have a baby?"
"Your Majesty, your advice is hard to hear. Of course those officials were wrong, but..."
“Bullshit advice is offensive!”
Zhao Xing rudely interrupted Xianggong Shen's words and sneered: "The so-called loyalty is a joke. I want to listen to you in everything, so what do you want me to do as an emperor?
If I don't listen to you, my advice will be offensive to my ears, but if I listen to you, I will accept advice with an open mind. Listening to what others say makes no distinction between loyalty and treachery. All standards are defined by you. What is the difference between me and a puppet? ”
"Your Majesty said something serious. Nothing in this world can escape the truth. Officials make mistakes. In order to ensure fairness, there should be a joint trial among the three departments. It is illegal to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment. The improper method of the Minister of Punishment caused the humiliation of two colleagues. To protect one's innocence by death, the officials of the DPRK asked the Minister of Punishment to severely punish him. What's wrong with this?" Yang Shengkui said righteously.
"If the local people break the law, why don't they need a three-judicial trial? Just because officials are nobler than the people? Don't the people need fairness? And the three-judicial trial is in the review stage. But the evidence for impeaching these two people is solid, and the Ministry of Punishment is in charge I’ll let the Ministry of Punishment deal with the laws of the world. What’s the problem?”
Zhao Xing said coldly: "The two of them obviously committed suicide out of fear of crime. How come Yang Aiqing said they committed suicide to protect their innocence? And this order was given by me. If you want to deal with the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, you might as well deal with me first!"
"Your Majesty, even if the evidence is sufficient, it should be confirmed by the Third Division before being convicted by the Ministry of Punishment. The Minister of Punishment knows this, but failed to advise His Majesty. Naturally, the fault lies with him, not Your Majesty!" Yang Shengkui said.
Although he wanted to force Zhao Xing to admit his mistake, he knew that these people were here because Zhao Xing directly ordered the arrest of all the officials who petitioned.
Otherwise, these people would be among those petitioning.
If he really did this, these people would definitely not agree.
"It's not my fault?"
Zhao Xing sneered and said: "I just want to know, if I don't agree, is it my fault?"
"Your Majesty, the details still need to be investigated. Now those officials should be released and people should be ordered to strictly investigate the two officials who committed suicide. Whether the two committed suicide out of fear of crime or for other reasons will be known after an investigation." Yu Xiang said openly.
Zhao Xing looked at him deeply, and Xianggong Yu's words could be regarded as helping him.
Normally, Zhao Xing should borrow Poxiadonkey.
