Chapter 171 Someone is making trouble again!

Chapter 171 Someone is making trouble again!

"Liu Aiqing, don't say any more. I will definitely tell His Majesty about this matter. Tomorrow morning, you will sternly read Lin Fan's book in front of His Majesty!"

"I want to see if the Ming Dynasty can really be ruled by a person with a foreign surname like him?"

Queen Zhou said coldly.

Liu Zheng suddenly beamed with joy. His previous status as the Metropolitan Procuratorate was very high, but because of Lin Fan, the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate became lower than that of the Imperial Guard, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Punishment.

As long as he can defeat Lin Fan, the status of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will definitely be improved. In the future, he may become the head of the officials and be ranked in the cabinet.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Fan was sleeping in at home, while at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, the officials were excited.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Diwu has made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty. We and other officials are thinking of him. However, he actually wants to open a large pig farm. This! It is detrimental to the royal family's face!"

"Your Majesty, if this pig farm is built and people start eating pork, wouldn't it be devouring the luck of the royal family and not good for your Majesty's dragon body?"

"Your Majesty, Lin Fan must be stopped from this matter, no! He must be punished severely. This Lin Fan did this deliberately to make His Majesty seriously ill!"



The officials followed Liu Zheng and rebuked Lin Fan.

Of course, there are also officials who speak for Lin Fan, such as Li Jiantai.

"Ahem! Your Majesty, Marquis Diwu is young after all, and he did this unintentionally. This pig is just an animal, and it has the same sound as your Majesty's surname."

"This matter is easy to handle. Just ask Emperor Wuhou to give the order to change the pigs to pigs."

Li Jiantai said in a deep voice.

Emperor Chongzhen's face looked better now. He nodded and said, "What Li Aiqing said makes sense. I will order the pig to be changed to pig."

"Your Majesty! You must not do this! This is what Lin Fan is doing recklessly and he is trampling on the dignity of the royal family!"

"Your Majesty, His Majesty the late Emperor Zhengde ordered that the people should not eat pork. However, His Majesty was kind-hearted and did not pursue the matter too much!"

"This is a favor from the royal family, but Lin Fan directly opened a large pig farm to raise tens of thousands of pigs. This is to humiliate His Majesty and humiliate us and other ministers."

"Please also ask your Majesty to issue an order that Lin Fan be dismissed from his post and investigated! He will be handed over to the Three Law Department for review!"

Liu Zheng said coldly.

The three departments of law are the three departments of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment, collectively known as the three departments of law.

As long as Lin Fan is handed over to him for interrogation, even if he has not committed any crime and is finally acquitted, he can severely humiliate Lin Fan and enhance his prestige.

"Haha! This matter is not decided by your family. If you convict Marquis Diwu without calling him for questioning, it will inevitably make people dissatisfied!"

Li Guozhen said with a sneer.

kindness?

The officials present were all stunned. Li Guozhen had been treated so badly by Lin Fan and had to pay more than 10 million taels of silver. How could this old man actually speak for Lin Fan?

correct!

This old guy later went to the White Tiger Division. Could it be that Lin Fan gave him some benefit?

Little did they know that after receiving Lin Fan's guidance, Li Guozhen introduced many customers to Shunlu Express Company. Based on the 1% dividend Lin Fan gave him, he could earn hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year.

What's more, he realized that those wealthy gentry from aristocratic families had so much money that they could earn much more than ordinary people. He had made millions of taels out of them in the past few days.

If he continues at this rate, he will be able to repay the debt within a year at most. Moreover, he can stand on the same front as Lin Fan. With Lin Fan protecting him from now on, he can make as much money as he wants.

Emperor Chongzhen was also stunned for a moment. What method did his son use to subdue Li Guozhen?

"What Li Aiqing said is true, come on, call Lin Fan, I want him to confront all the officials in public!"

Emperor Chongzhen said in a deep voice.

The Jin Yiwei from the Qinglong Division hurriedly went to deliver the order. Lin Fan was sleeping on the bed when the Jin Yiwei lifted up the quilt and forcibly took him away.

Lin Fan yelled, but the Qinglong Division's Jin Yiwei, who were directly subordinate to Emperor Chongzhen, did not listen to his orders.

In this way, Lin Fan was brought to the Hall of Supreme Harmony in his pajamas. When Liu Zheng saw Lin Fan's disheveled clothes, he showed a sinister look in his eyes and said: "Your Majesty! This Lin Fan is in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, and his clothes are disheveled.

This is a disregard for His Majesty’s majesty and a disregard for the majesty of the Ming Dynasty!”

Many officials followed suit. Lin Fan rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "I was sleeping when someone brought me here. How can I have time to get dressed?"

But what I was thinking in my mind was: "Oh no! You people came to the morning court even before the rooster crows. Are you beasts?"

Don’t you know you are tired?”

Emperor Chongzhen's face instantly dropped. Is this guy calling himself a beast?

I also got up without even crow!

"Your Majesty! Listen to what Lin Fan is saying. Our ministers, including your Majesty, have come to attend the morning court, but he is sleeping!"

Liu Zheng said angrily.

"Nonsense! You are already a veteran. I am still young. When I am growing up, I need enough sleep. You think that no one else needs to sleep like you!"

Lin Fan said coldly.

"Alas! This morning court is really unreasonable. No wonder so many emperors died early. They were obviously tired!"

“At noon and so much time in the afternoon, isn’t it possible to discuss political affairs if you want?

It’s great for everyone to chat about things while eating, but if you have to get up so early, don’t you know that poor sleep is bad for your health?”

"Look at Emperor Jiajing. He doesn't go to court at all. He just lies down every day and only goes out to play. If he hadn't taken a few more poisonous pills, he would probably live ninety-nine years."

Lin Fan complained in his heart.

Emperor Chongzhen was deeply moved when he heard Lin Fan's complaints. He didn't feel it when he first came to the throne. Recently, he felt a little powerless during the morning court.

Moreover, he was dealing with government affairs every day and spent less than two hours on the water. He felt that he had no energy every day, and even felt weak all the time.

However, Lin Fan said that Emperor Jiajing died after taking a few more poison pills. Could it be that there was something wrong with the elixir?

Before Chongzhen could think about this matter, Liu Zheng said anxiously: "You! Huangkou boy, how dare you humiliate me! Do you know that I am the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

"Bah! What's wrong with you being the censor of Zuodu?

I didn’t see you capturing Li Zicheng alive, nor did I see you expelling the Jiannu slaves, but you’re just rioting here!”

"I have His Majesty's permission for Marquis Wu to go to court in the morning. What's wrong with me sleeping in?

What happened to you?"

Lin Fan said angrily.

Liu Zheng's face turned red after being retorted by Lin Fan. He covered his chest and said, "You! You are so arrogant about taking credit!"

After holding it in for a long time, Liu Zheng could only say this sentence, and he almost lost his breath.
