Chapter 151 Argument in the Court
As a result, the person being impeached was naturally not happy, and then people on both sides started arguing in the court, one by one.
The officials were listening from above, and from time to time they would say innocuous words such as "Is this possible?" "This is serious".
The ministers listened with great interest, and they felt like people eating melons. For a while, the main hall of the court was as noisy as a vegetable market.
“So boring!”
Zhao Xing couldn't help but yawn. He was standing at the forefront, without even a hint of cover. It seemed that he had no chance to display the special skill of "standing while sleeping" that he had practiced in his previous life.
Zhao Xing even wondered if he should practice sleeping with his eyes open.
Otherwise, I will have to endure morning sickness in the future.
"Prince, is this possible?"
Zhao Xing was thinking wildly when he suddenly heard his father calling him. He looked up in confusion and said, "Father, what did you say?"
The official glared at him and said, "Just now, Dr. Luo Hui, the imperial censor, impeached you for ordering all counties in Kaifeng Prefecture to measure the acres. It was a waste of manpower and material resources. Is this possible?"
Zhao Xing was startled. I didn't expect these people to move so quickly. I just issued the order yesterday, and someone is impeaching me today.
Zhao Xing looked back and saw a middle-aged man in his thirties standing in the center of the hall.
"You impeached me?" Zhao Xing said lightly.
"Yes, it's the minister." Luo Hui looked at Zhao Xing without fear.
"How come it's a waste of manpower and material resources when I'm just counting the acres of land in Kaifeng Mansion?" Zhao Xing asked rhetorically.
“Now the wheat is growing in the fields, and soon it will be the day of harvest. If we measure the acres at this time, we will inevitably trample the crops. Moreover, the government sends petty officials to the countryside, and the people also need to entertain them. These People are most greedy, and it is common for them to take advantage of others. Has Your Highness ever thought about this?" Luo Hui said.
Hearing this, Zhao Xing sneered and said, "What you said seems to be for the sake of the people, but in fact it makes no sense."
"His Royal Highness is the crown prince of the country, and he is humiliated by such vulgar words. Imperial officials." Luo Hui first angrily rebuked Zhao Xing, then bowed to the officials and said, "Your Majesty, I am impeaching His Highness the Crown Prince for the sake of the imperial court and the country of the Song Dynasty. His Highness the Crown Prince did not accept good advice and humiliated me. I really have no face to stand in the court, please allow me to resign!"
"Prince!" The official said with a straight face: "I have chosen so many masters for you, and you have read them all. Where are you? Why don’t you apologize to Luo Qing?”
"Father, I realize that I was wrong." Zhao Xing first bowed to admit his mistake to his father, then turned and bowed to Luo Hui and said: "I can't stay with Luo Yushi alone."
"Human beings are different. No sage can do anything wrong, Your Highness..."
Luo Hui hid quickly, not daring to accept Zhao Xing's gift.
But before he finished speaking, Zhao Xing had already turned around and said: "Father, my son has already accompanied me, but he also wants to impeach Luo Yushi."
< br>When the official heard this, his eyes were flat and he said: "Impeach for what?"
"My son impeached Luo Yushi because he had no superiority to the emperor and forced the palace to threaten the emperor. He should be executed as a warning to others!" Zhao Xing said.
As soon as Zhao Xing finished speaking, there was an uproar.
Just because Luo Hui impeached Zhao Xing, Zhao Xing petitioned him to be executed. Isn’t this murderous intention too serious?
The most excited person among them was Luo Hui. He thought that after Zhao Xing apologized, he would say a few words and the matter would be over.
Zhao Xing’s attempt to measure the land came to nothing.
Who would have thought that Zhao Xing actually wanted his life.
"Is it because I impeach His Highness that His Highness will execute me? If so, I am willing to die!" Luo Hui said with great justice.
"Didn't Luo Yushi understand what Gu said? Gu is impeaching you for not being above the emperor, forcing the palace to threaten the emperor." Zhao Xing said lightly.
"If you really want to inflict a crime, why bother? Why did I ever force Miyawaki-kun?" Luo Hui retorted.
"You just resigned because you didn't get what you wanted. If everyone is like you in the future, forcing the emperor to resign whenever he doesn't get what he wants, then where is the majesty of the emperor?" Zhao Xing said coldly. .
"Chen..."
"As a minister, you are still an official. If you feel something is wrong, it is your duty to speak up. But you should not threaten your father. This move has done a bad job to the people of the world. A good role model, shouldn’t he be killed?”
Zhao Xing interrupted him without giving him a chance to speak.
Luo Hui was speechless, his face flushed, and he almost vomited blood.
After hearing what Zhao Xing said, the officials looked at Luo Hui with a somewhat unkind look. Although he has a gentle temper, he does not want to be threatened with resignation or death.
Zhao Xing was a little disdainful when he saw Luo Hui stopped talking, and he was just being a troll.
Yes, in his eyes, the censor is a troll.
“The prince’s words are wrong.” An official stood up and said: “Luo Yushi just resigned, not to threaten His Majesty, but because His Royal Highness the prince humiliated Luo Yushi. As the saying goes, a scholar can be killed. Humiliation, Luo Yushi wanted to resign because of the humiliation. "
Luo Hui was so moved that he almost cried. He wanted to explain just now, but Zhao Xing didn't give him a chance to speak. .
Seeing that his covert exchange of ideas was exposed, Zhao Xing continued to argue nonsense.
For a time, the court was more lively than before.
“Insolent!”
The official’s face was ashen and he said: “How unbecoming is it to have such a quarrel in the court!”
“My son (chen) has lost his composure. Please punish me, Father!" Zhao Xing and the officials who argued quickly bowed and admitted their mistake.
"Huh!" The official snorted coldly and said, "Retreat from the court!"
"I will send you off to your majesty!"
"I will send you off to my father."
< br>Zhao Xing smiled happily. His purpose was to make this matter uncertain through this messy way.
Although he can reason with these people, there are so many people who oppose him. How can he talk to so many people with his mouth.
As long as his father didn't say that he wouldn't be allowed to check the fields, he could continue to check.
Zhao Xing was the last one to leave the hall. He thought his father would call him over, but he did not expect that his father did not send anyone to call him over.
“Your Highness!”
Sanshui, who was waiting outside, saw Zhao Xing coming out and hurriedly greeted him.
“Let’s go back to the East Palace.”
Since his father didn't summon him, he went back to catch up on his sleep.
Getting on the chariot, Zhao Xing said: "Let Gu check the imperial censor Luo Hui."
"Yes." Sanshui responded.
…………
Back in the East Palace, the sky was not completely bright yet, Yu Yanran was already up and waiting for Zhao Xing to eat.
After eating, Zhao Xing hugged Yu Yanran and fell asleep.
When I woke up, it was almost noon.
After washing up, Sanshui came over and said, "Your Highness, the news about Luo Hui, the imperial censor, has been found."
"Oh?" Zhao Xing said, "Tell me. Said. "
Sanshui recounted the information he found.
Zhao Xing was a little surprised after hearing this. He thought that someone had secretly introduced Luo Hui to test him.
But according to the information found by Sanshui, this Luo Hui was born as a commoner and was an honest official.
Today, a family of seven still lives in a small rented house in the east of the city.
"The imperial censor is a third-rank official. Even if he is an honest official and has been an official for more than ten years, he will not have to rent a house for his family to live in, right?" Zhao Xing frowned.
