Chapter 150 Great Wisdom
He made up his mind and without hesitation, he raised his head suddenly and spoke seriously, "In the majestic palace, the king is above you. Sirs are making so much noise, do you care about the dignity of the king and his ministers? Do you care about the official status of the court?"
Because the words were spoken very suddenly and loudly, everyone was stunned subconsciously, but soon some people came to their senses and shouted loudly, "How dare you, a yellow-haired boy, dare to speak nonsense and disobey the court officials?"
"I am the number one scholar in the Enke Military Examination, a third-rank official, and the imperial censor appointed by the emperor," Zhengse said. "The censorship station oversees hundreds of officials. You have formed a clique to resist the decree and have no emperor or father. How can I just sit back and watch?"
Reason, stand by and watch?"
"Master Yushi?" Another courtier snorted with disdain, "Can you go to court? Do you know the official regulations? People employed in the imperial court cannot take up new posts unless they are given a seal. Where is your official seal?"
"Although there is no official seal, there is an imperial edict," Zhengse said. "Under the sky, it is the king's land. On the shore of the land, it is the king's ministers. No matter how great the officials' laws are, they are not as powerful as the emperor's edict. If the emperor does not withdraw his orders for a day,
I am the imperial censor."
"You are an arrogant boy who doesn't know the rules of government," someone else mocked and challenged, "I want to ask you, do you know what the job of a censor is?"
"I have not yet taken office, and the specific duties are not yet clear," he said, "but I am the number one scholar in the martial arts examination and was awarded the third rank. The imperial censor is also the third rank. There is nothing wrong with the emperor's high regard for the appointment."
Naturally, there are many careful people in the court who seize the topic and attack them head-on, "You also know that you have not yet taken office?"
"Although I have not yet taken office, my official position has been determined," he tilted his head and looked coldly at the speaker, "As a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor and the country, and abide by the dignity and inferiority. Previously, you were the most arrogant, slandering the holy will, and stirring up trouble. You must know that Pu
Under the sky, is it not the land of the king, is it the shore of the land, is it not the king's ministers, you are roaring in the court, acting erratically, do you have the power of the emperor in your eyes, and the dignity of the court in your heart?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter, and all the martial arts scholars looked at each other, wondering why everyone was laughing.
"Bold madman, making false claims to deceive the emperor," someone immediately reprimanded him, "The emperor is the most powerful person, the dragon is in the golden palace, and the court is the government office of the ministers. If you utter treasonous and unethical words, you will be punished."
It was intentional, but he couldn't let others notice that he did it on purpose, so he could only force himself to calm down. At the same time, his energy and blood were retrograde, making him blush.
There were also people in the court who were trying to protect him. He made a mistake when he saw the situation and hurriedly said, "Sir Wang, the imperial censor has passed the military examination. He has just entered the court and has not yet learned official etiquette. Don't maliciously slander me and cause trouble."
After this person spoke, someone immediately attacked him, "Master Gongsun, you are an official of the imperial court, not someone's retainer. You evade the important and take the easy and cover for him, but because you live in the house donated by Duke Ji Guo?"
"I am just discussing the matter, how can I evade the important and take the light?" The latter felt guilty.
The other party took the opportunity to taunt
, "Hmph, the official's heart is not right, his behavior is unfair, he accepts gifts privately, and acts for personal benefit. How can a person like you be able to impartiality and truthful records of history?"
"Your Majesty Wang, your words are serious. Your Majesty Gongsun's character is obvious to all my colleagues and I..."
Seeing someone on his side helping to excuse him, someone on the other side immediately said, "Mr. Yang, are you speaking out of public motives or out of personal feelings?"
"Why did Master Shangshu say this?"
"Sir Yang, you were one of the three witnesses when the Ni family competed in martial arts to recruit a bride. There are rumors that the Ni family gave a thousand taels of gold as a gift afterwards. I wonder if the rumors are true?"
"Master Shangshu is in charge of the Criminal Department, and he has many spies under his command, so he actually listens to rumors." Yang Shuyun sneered.
"Mr. Yang is in charge of Dali Temple. As a high official in the criminal law, he actually bends the law for personal gain, disregards human life, and secretly lists all those who lost their lives in martial arts competitions as suicides. Is this how Mr. Yang enforces the law impartially?"
"It is customary to invite one's own life or death in a martial arts competition," Yang Shuyun said.
"Explanations are futile. None of you who are speaking have ever taken advantage of the Ni family. Otherwise, how could you be so indifferent and deliberately partial..."
"Shut up!" He glared angrily and raised his eyebrows coldly, "I was the first one to take the stage in the martial arts competition and won an undefeated streak. I also won the first place in the court martial arts competition Enke. My ranking as the number one scholar was due to my own ability. Compared with Ni
What does family have to do with it?”
"You are outrageous," a military general shouted loudly, "there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. The subordinates are guilty of the superiors, and they dare to contradict the officials of the Ministry of Justice."
"You are so presumptuous," he glared angrily, "Don't think that because you are tall and powerful, I am afraid of you. What makes me stand here today is my true talent and learning, not the help of the Ni family. If you have any doubts, please leave.
After the court, you can sign a life and death certificate and be beaten in public."
"Humph." The general snorted and tilted his head.
Everyone murmured and shook their heads secretly, saying that after all, he was born in a rough family and could not shake off the bad habits of the world. Some people said that he was young and energetic, fearing that others would say that he borrowed the power of the Ni family.
"This is a majestic court, not your dirty world. Since you have joined the court as an official, don't be a gangster. Is it possible that you want to kill us all just because of different political opinions?" A civil servant said.
Make sarcastic remarks.
"You also know that this is the imperial court?" he retorted seriously, "but what I see is not loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, nor superiority and inferiority, but cliques and selfish interests. The following are guilty of crimes. You even dare to disobey the emperor's imperial edict. There are no ministers at all."
way."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole hall was in an uproar.
It was a pole that knocked over a boat of people.
Seeing that he was losing control of his emotions, someone immediately added fuel to the flames and maliciously provoked him, "You are a surly son-in-law who is greedy for wealth and honor, has no ideas, and has only the courage of an ordinary man. How dare you discuss government affairs and slander ministers."
His energy and blood were stimulated, and his face turned red, "I have won forty-three matches in a row in martial arts competitions. If I was greedy for wealth, I would not return the money I won to the Ni family. Although I have never been in school, I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
Fu Bi's ambition to revitalize China is not like yours. All of them are well-read in poetry and books, and appear to be sanctimonious, but they have no sense of loyalty, filial piety, or the etiquette of a monarch or his ministers."
As soon as this statement came out, the eunuchs were very proud, and some people took the opportunity to make vicious remarks and said, "It is the father's fault that the son does not teach. As long as the parents are present and have a little restraint, the son will not be so wild and rebellious."
Hearing this man's words, he became furious and pointed, "What's your name?"
"Wu Qi, the doctor in the Ministry of Justice, gives me advice." The other party replied with a sneer.
"Just wait for me." His nose trembled.
As soon as he finished speaking, the emperor's voice came from the north, "Okay, I'm tired."
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone hurriedly returned to their seats and bowed.
The emperor left his seat and stood up, "I am very pleased that the number one scholar is so sincere. He is a young man with a good temperament and thoughtful words. Dear friends, please don't hold grudges and blame them. I will let you make arrangements for your duties and let them go."
Hearing the emperor's words felt like falling into an ice cave, but the emperor still misunderstood him.
At this moment, the old eunuch standing on the left side of the golden platform looked up, saw the shock and frustration, smiled at him, and then raised his hand to the old minister standing on the left.
The latter understood, stepped out of the queue, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The emperor was ready to leave at this time. Hearing this man's words, his left hand trembled slightly, then he stopped and turned back, "Precisely."
The old minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that loyalty and filial piety are the first principles of employment. Although Wu Zhuangyuan is young, he has the heart of loyalty to the emperor and the ambition to serve the country. Moreover, he has just entered the official career and has nothing to do with the civil and military officials. The government needs young talents full of enthusiasm, so I ask the emperor to insist on the initial proposal and let him be appointed to the imperial censorship."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. This old man was undoubtedly a member of the eunuch party. No one on our side or the enemy expected that he would actually say good things.
"Okay, okay, that's it." The emperor waved his hand, turned and left.
The civil and military officials hurriedly knelt down to pay homage, and there was no need to kneel. Therefore, after the emperor left, Yang Fugong was able to look back at him again. Yang Fugong still had a slight smile on his face, but a look of astonishment on his face.
Yang Fugong was very satisfied with his surprise and put his hands behind his back.
Walking away.
It wasn't until Yang Fugong disappeared behind the curtain that he felt relieved and took a long breath. Others may not have noticed it, but he had been staring at the emperor before and noticed that the emperor's left hand was shaking slightly, which showed that the emperor was very excited. This shows that the emperor did not misunderstand him. The reason for his previous words was just to raise his stakes. It seemed that he had given up on him, but in fact he was betting that Yang Fugong would take the opportunity to win over him.
And that fat old eunuch was undoubtedly Yang Fugong. The smile he gave him was undoubtedly a sign of goodwill after the demonstration, and the unspoken meaning was, 'He no longer wants you, I promoted you.'
Everyone originally thought that the censor doctor was completely corrupt. Who would have thought that there would be a shocking turn of events in the end. As a result, everyone was embarrassed. People who supported him before did not understand why the eunuch suddenly recommended him again, while attacking him before. The people are also confused. How can you say that you have changed your mind? The bad people let the people below do it, and the good people let the people above them do it.
Although he was secretly happy, he did not forget to pretend to be surprised and respectfully thank the veteran who had recommended him before. The latter did not say anything, but smiled and nodded at him.
Immediately, the seal was awarded, and a group of chamberlains brought out the official seals that had been prepared. The imperial censor was the official of the law. The official seal was made of pure gold, and the others had silver and copper seals.
Although he had retired from the court at this time, most of the civil and military officials did not leave. Many people were hesitating whether to say something to him to save some face, but they ignored everyone and waited for the official seal to be delivered and grabbed it in their hands. Turn around and leave.
Yang Kai and Datou also took official seals respectively and followed behind.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiantai." Datou was overjoyed.
"How did I do today?" he asked in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid in the face of danger and speak out for justice..."
Before Datou could finish speaking, he interrupted him, "Don't flatter me, didn't you notice anything wrong with me today?"
"No, what's wrong?" Datou was confused.
"Nothing." He shook his head. Big Tou must not have noticed anything unusual. If even he could find out the clues, he wouldn't be able to deceive the old fox.
"Sir, it is no accident that the two of us were assigned to the Yushitai. You must have been secretly supporting us." Datou said.
There was no answer. It was undoubtedly the emperor's intention that Datou and Yang Kai were assigned to the Yushitai. The other party knew that he needed reliable help.
Seeing no answer, Datou wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted, "Stop talking and go back quickly."
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Datou was puzzled.
