His Majesty the Emperor did not answer immediately, but looked at everyone in the palace quietly.
He knew very well that this matter was not a trivial matter, nor was it something that Shen Yi could deal with in just a few words. Otherwise, Emperor Hong De would not have failed to complete it in ten years.
As soon as Shen Yi finished speaking, an official stood up and said loudly: "Nowadays, most of the imperial court is not in favor of moving the capital. Does Marquis Shen's words mean that most of the officials in the imperial court will be punished?"
"The matter of moving to the north is of great importance and requires long-term planning. Although Marquis Shen has made great contributions, this matter cannot be settled with just a few words from Marquis Shen!"
Suddenly, the court hall started to become noisy and the Deqing Hall was in chaos.
Mr. Shen turned his head and glanced at the people who were speaking. For just a moment, almost everyone subconsciously took half a step back, and the court was silent once again.
Finally, an official in his twenties or thirties stood up at the Yushitai. He looked at Shen Yi through gritted teeth and said loudly: "Marquis Shen has been operating in the north for more than ten years. Now the armies in the north are... They are all from the Huai'an Army, and they are all under the control of Marquis Shen! Marquis Shen is already a landlord in the north!"
"Now, Marquis Shen is still not satisfied with himself. He wants to return to Jiankang and instigate the move of the capital!"
"If our imperial court of Chen moved to the north, wouldn't everyone in the imperial court fall into your hands?"
After he said these words loudly, he looked at the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Shen Qi has a bad intention. Please look into it clearly!"
The emperor also frowned when he heard this.
The imperial court has not moved the capital for a long time, and this is indeed part of the reason.
All the armies in the north are controlled by the Governor-General of Northern Zhili, that is, they are under the command of Shen Yi. If the imperial court moves to the north and after entering Yanjing, Mr. Shen will close the gate of Yanjing and the king's flag will change on the city wall, then Da Chen said Maybe within a day I will change my name and surname, and from then on my surname will be Shen!
It's just that this reason is too sensitive. Although many people think this way, no one dares to say it in front of Shen Yi.
Now, finally, a foolish young man said these few words in front of everyone in the court, clarifying the root cause.
Mr. Shen had no expression on his face. He looked back at the censor at the censor's desk and asked, "What's your name?"
The man held his head high and said loudly: "Xiaguan Yushitai supervises Yushi Meng Jing!"
Da Chen's ministers have special privileges. For example, in court meetings that can only be attended by those with grades five or above, the seven-rank supervisory censors in the Yushitai can attend the meetings and hear about the affairs.
Mr. Shen said calmly and calmly: "In which year did you become a Jinshi?"
The young supervisory censor subconsciously took a step back, but his momentum remained intact and he said, "A Jinshi in the 23rd year of Hongde!"
Mr. Shen counted on his fingers, and then sneered: "Do you know which year I was a Jinshi?"
Therefore, when dealing with civil servants, we must use civil servants' methods and rules.
Mr. Shen is a serious civil servant, and since he was a Jinshi when he was a teenager, now more than 20 years have passed, and even in terms of seniority, he is one of the older ones among the civil servants.
According to the rules of the examination hall, Jinshi should commemorate their years of friendship. The name Meng Jing just called out of anger was really inappropriate.
Meng Yushi clenched his fists and gritted his teeth and said: "Master Shen, Xiaguan was excited just now, and the title may indeed be a bit inappropriate, but today's meeting is not about small things like Nian Yi's address. You haven't responded to what Xiaguan just said. Give me an explanation!"
Shen Yi glanced at the little censor coldly, and said expressionlessly: "Shen, I don't know if you want to stand up and speak, or if someone behind you is instigating you to speak, but Shen can answer you now."
"If I, Shen Qi, have any dissatisfaction with the imperial court, you will not have the chance to meet me now, let alone yell at me at the imperial meeting."
"so."
Mr. Shen said quietly: "Let's make a bet today in front of His Majesty and the princes of the imperial court. If after the imperial court moves north, I return the military symbols and return to the south, you, Censor Meng..."
"The three Yi tribes."
"dare?"
Meng Jing's legs were shaking, but he still couldn't keep his face down, so he clenched his fists and said: "Then if Marquis Shen really has different intentions, how can the lower official destroy the three clans of Marquis Shen?"
"You are not qualified to bet on an equal footing with Mr. Shen."
Mr. Shen lowered his voice and said, "Shen Qi really has different intentions. If this bet between you and me is recorded in the history books, it will make my face even darker."
"That's all."
"you!"
Meng Yushi was furious, raised his head to look at the emperor, cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, you heard, Shen... Shen Hou's wolfish ambition has been revealed!"
"enough."
Emperor Hong De frowned and looked at Meng Jing coldly.
"You, a seventh-grade censor, slandered and slandered the most outstanding figure of our dynasty in front of the imperial court first, and then insulted him in person."
"Have I been too indulgent towards your Yushitai in the past ten years?"
Yan Chongdao, the imperial censor, was frightened when he heard this. He knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, forgive me..."
The emperor glanced at the court and said slowly: "In today's discussion, although everyone is expressing their own opinions, it is not for you to take the opportunity to slander the hero. Meng Jing..."

The emperor said coldly: "Take away your fame, drive you out of the court, and never use him again."
"Everyone from Meng Jing's level on the Yushitai to above will be fined one year's salary to serve as a warning to others."
The officials at Yushitai knelt down and kowtowed in apology.
The emperor wanted to speak. Outside the Deqing Palace, a eunuch in purple rushed in. He knelt on the ground tremblingly and kowtowed: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
Emperor Hong De had just lost his temper. When he heard this, he frowned and said: "How solemn is the imperial meeting? Who let you break in? There are no rules at all!"
This eunuch in purple was none other than Eunuch Wei, the dark horse of the inner court. After hearing the emperor's words, Eunuch Wei knelt down and kowtowed tremblingly: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother... The Queen Mother suddenly fell into a coma early in the morning. The imperial doctor went to check her pulse and said..."
"The Queen Mother is so angry that she wants you to go to Kunde Palace to take a look..."
Upon hearing this, the emperor stood up suddenly, strode down the imperial steps without saying a word, and hurried towards the harem.
Mr. Shen took a deep breath, glanced back at Meng Jing, who was already pale, then walked to Zhao Changping with his hands behind his back, leaned down and said: "Uncle, I will follow you to take a look, please maintain the situation."
Zhao Changping sighed, took two steps forward, looked back at the officials, and said in a deep voice: "Don't panic. If there is no order from His Majesty, we will be on standby in Deqing Palace."
After saying this, he turned to the officials behind him and said: "Prime Minister Zhongshu, as well as the six ministers and nine ministers, will go to Kunde Palace with me."
Zhao Changping had been in the court for more than 40 years, and his qualifications and prestige were first-class. When he came to take charge of the situation, the situation was immediately brought under control.
At this time, Mr. Shen had followed Eunuch Wei all the way to Kunde Palace.
At this time, outside the Kunde Palace, the maids and eunuchs were already kneeling on the ground. His Majesty the Emperor had already hurried in. Master Shen stood outside the Kunde Palace. He hesitated for a moment, but still did not go in. He just stood outside and waited silently.
About half an hour later, the little eunuch came out of Kunde Palace. After the little eunuch came out, he glanced at the prime minister and the six ministers and nine ministers waiting outside, then looked at Shen Yi, lowered his head and said, "Master Hou. , Your Majesty, please come in."
Shen Yi silently turned around, looked back at Zhao Changping, then put his hands on the sleeves in front of him and walked into the Kunde Palace.
Soon, he met Queen Mother Sun in the bedroom of Kunde Palace.
At this time, Queen Mother Sun had woken up, but there was almost no color on her face.
She leaned on the bed, holding Emperor Hong De's hand, and looked up at Shen Yi, her voice already very weak.
"emperor…"
"We need to decide on the national foundation early..."
