"Then you accepted the gift?" Zhang Yang asked again.

"No."

"Is that a woman given to you?"

"You, my husband, are upright and honest. You don't need these things to be an honest official."

Zhang Yang grinned, "Really? You speak for the Turks like this, I thought you were not an honest official?"

"you!"

"I impeached Zhang Yang, the Minister of Rites, for carrying out blackmail while the Tuyu waters were deep and turbulent!"

Another voice appeared in the class.

"You fart!"

Li Xiaogong immediately stood up and pointed at the censor, "What evidence do you have that my Minister of Rites is committing blackmail?"

Wei Zheng said: "Prince Hejian, this is the court hall. Your Majesty is right in front of you. How can you say farts?"

Li Xiaogong thought for a long time and changed the word, "You are so slanderous!"

This word is suitable to say it is appropriate, and it is inappropriate to say it is inappropriate.

Zhang Yang secretly expressed his respect to Li Xiaogong, "The prince of Hejian County is really loyal!"

One of the censors stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites sold old grains to Tuyuhun. Are those old grains for human consumption?"

"Is that for human consumption?"

"Can people eat this?"

…

There was another round of discussion.

Li Xiaogong said unconvinced: "Why can't we eat it? Those grains can even be fed to war horses, so why can't they be eaten by others?"

Qin Qiong was very satisfied with Zhang Yang. Such a sensible young man could not be wronged, although he did not know what exactly happened.

Qin Qiong still took a step out of the courtroom, "Your Majesty, it would have been nice to have this kind of food when we were leading the troops in the war. When the army has no food, even old food is very important."

Li Xiaogong said loudly: "Have you civil servants ever suffered? Are you going to give those foreign people the refined grains we have worked so hard to grow?"

The censor continued: "Even if these old grains can be eaten, we cannot use such methods. This will make the surrounding countries view us like a philistine trader. The face of the Tang Dynasty will be completely embarrassed by him."

Li Xiaogong rolled up his sleeves and said, "What do you want us to do? Are we going to have to imprison those foreigners?"

"Nature is to subdue people and make all parties submit."

Xu Jingzong stood up and said, "This was all agreed upon in advance, and Tuyuhun also agreed to it himself. One is willing to buy and the other is willing to sell. Where does the blackmail come from?"

Li Xiaogong snorted coldly: "I doubt whether you received money from Tuyuhun."

The other party said with a dark face: "How can I be so honest and upright as an official, as you say?"

Now three people from the Ministry of Rites have stepped forward.

As soon as the censor finished speaking, a shoe hit his face.

"Who lost the hidden weapon!" the censor said through gritted teeth.

"Someone's shoes were too big and they accidentally fell out." Cheng Yaojin said with a grin.

"I think you, an old man, did it on purpose!"

"Cheng Yaojin! You can't commit murder in the court."

Cheng Yaojin also rolled up his sleeves and said: "I have tolerated you people for a long time. If I eat beef, you will all impeach me!"

"Who made your Zhuangzi's cow break its leg every once in a while?"

"Are you in charge?"

"Do you care about my impeachment?!" The other party still gritted his teeth.

Zhang Yang stood aside expressionlessly, while the civil and military forces on both sides kept clamoring. It looked like the meeting would not go on.

Li Shimin let out a long sigh, "Let's discuss it further and withdraw from the court!"

The hall was already noisy, but no one could hear what Li Shimin said.

The quarrel became more and more fierce, with both civil and military sides quarreling and spitting flying in the air.

"Shameless old man, he doesn't read the books of sages and only knows how to fist and kick!"

"Who are you talking about! Old Wei Zheng! I have tolerated you for a long time!" Cheng Yaojin shouted loudly.

I don’t know who pushed Wei Zheng, but his hand fell on Cheng Yaojin’s face.

"How dare Mr. Wei Zheng take action?"

Without waiting for Wei Zheng to explain, Cheng Yaojin pushed the other party to the ground, and the civil servants on the side couldn't stand it anymore.

The two sides evolved from yelling to fighting. Starting with Cheng Yaojin and Wei Zheng, the scale of the fight became larger and larger.

Our officials of the Tang Dynasty are really strong.

Seeing them fighting together, Zhang Yang hid behind a pillar, and when he looked closely, he saw that Xu Jingzong was also hiding here.

Zhang Yang asked doubtfully: "Why don't you rush forward?"

Xu Jingzong cupped his hands and said: "This official is a scholar, so it would be insulting to be polite."

Zhang Yang sighed: "What a coincidence, so am I."

The two stood silently behind the pillar.

Watching the civil and military ministers fight fiercely.

I didn't expect that Changsun Wuji, who usually looks like a dog to people, would be so ruthless, and would go to Xiasanlu to say hello.

Xu Jingzong said: "The prince of Hejian County is so brave."

Zhang Yang looked at Li Xiaogong. At this moment, Li Xiaogong was pressing down on the three censors. His hair was messed up and even his official uniform was torn.

Feeling very moved in his heart, Zhang Yang whispered: "Prince Hejian is doing this for us."

Xu Jingzong whispered: "Prince Hejian is a good man."

The two were moved for a while, and then walked out of the Tai Chi Hall in perfect agreement.

The fight didn't end until the Jinwu Guards from the palace rushed in.

Cheng Yaojin looked at Qin Qiong and said, "Brother Qin, are you feeling okay?"

Qin Qiong's body is weak, and I don't know if he was injured or not.

Qin Qiong waved her hand and said: "It doesn't matter. A little exercise of the muscles and bones will be good for the condition."

Only then did the civil and military factions wave their hands.

Li Shimin's decree also came. Whenever an injured person goes to the Imperial Medical Office for treatment, Li Xiaogong, the Minister of Rites, Zhang Yang, the Minister of Rites, and Xu Jingzong will be fined one month's salary.

A one-month fine can be considered a light punishment.

Wounds in court fights can be cured, and some people's old ailments can also be treated.

Fights didn't happen once or twice. The Wencheng generals of the Tang Dynasty were so lively.

Zhang Yang and Xu Jingzong met Li Xiaogong, who had just returned from the Imperial Medical Office.

There were some scratches on his face and his official uniform was in tatters.

Zhang Yang bowed and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Prince Hejian."

Xu Jingzong also said with emotion: "The prince of Hejian County is brave."

Li Xiaogong waved his sleeves and said, "Those old guys are relying on me to study for a few more years. If I study for a few more years, I will be better than them sooner or later!"

Xu Jingzong said quickly: "What Prince Hejian said is right."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Zhang Yang poured a cup of tea for Li Xiaogong, "I have made you feel wronged."

Li Xiaogong took a sip of tea, and regardless of the fact that the tea was scalding his mouth, he said: "It doesn't matter how well I do in the Ministry of Etiquette. Even if I admit that I have done something wrong, they will wear this name on my head.

We will never give up, our Ministry of Rites will not tolerate this anger."

"Yes! Our Rites Department is not angry with this." Xu Jingzong's expression was firm.

Ever since Zhang Yang came to the Ministry of Rites, there has been a small clay stove in the corner of the Ministry of Rites, which occasionally boils some water and boils some tea eggs.

The wine jug can also be used as a kettle to boil some water.

Regarding Li Xiaogong's behavior, Li Xiaogong acted righteously, and Zhang Yang felt inexplicably warm in his heart.

This Rites Office has no sense of existence and cannot be manipulated by others.

"We want the Ministry of Rites to stand up and we can't let them bully us anymore." Zhang Yang's voice came from the corner.

Xu Jingzong asked curiously: "Why did Mr. Zhang draw a circle on the ground?"

Zhang Yang looked at the circle and said, "I hope they are constipated every morning."
