This memorial from Chen Yushi is like pouring cold water into a boiling oil pan.
The Jinluan Palace suddenly burst into excitement.
Before the officials could submit the memorial, a group of censors had already come out and scolded Chen Yushi. Such curses as "ridiculous", "sycophant", "flattery and shameless"
, almost drowning Chen Zhan and Chen Yushi.
Chen Yushi's biological father, Chen Shangshu, was so angry that his face turned black and he yelled at the court.
Among the several cabinet ministers, except Zhao Ge and Mr. Lu Ge, who remained silent and sullen, the other three cabinet ministers fiercely opposed it. Among the military attachés, except for General Yin who remained silent, there was also opposition.
There were more than a dozen clan princes who were qualified to join the court. Prince An and Prince Fenyang unanimously remained silent after the initial shock. On the other hand, the other princes and princes expressed their opposition with sullen expressions.
Sheng Ji, the eldest son of Prince Lu, who has been attending the imperial court since last year, could not express his astonishment. He quickly glanced at Chen Yushi, who remained unmoved despite being scolded and scolded by everyone, and then looked at Sheng Hong who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Everyone knows that Chen Zhan is the emperor's classmate, friend and confidant. Every time there is a major event in the court, Chen Zhan always takes the lead for the emperor.
Today, Chen Zhan suddenly received such a memorial. Was it Chen Zhan's own intention, or was it the emperor's instruction?
He originally thought that Uncle Qi was very fond of him, so he would let him enter the court early to listen to politics.
He originally thought that he was most likely to be adopted and established as a reserve.
Now it seems that these are all what he thinks...
Sheng Hong's expression was indifferent, showing no emotion or anger. His black eyes were as deep as the night, and he glanced at Brother Ji, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.
Brother Ji's heart suddenly felt cold at this sight, and he lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to look at the emperor.
…
The ministers were so excited that they did not dare to directly accuse the emperor, so they blamed and cursed Chen Zhan over and over again.
Zhao Qi bravely stepped forward and supported Chen Zhan's memorial together with Lu Chi. He also joined the ranks of those who were scolded.
Most of the important ministers in the court are veterans, and there are many young officials with lower official positions. Many of them are young officials appointed by the emperor. These officials all entered the official position from the imperial examination. When they suddenly heard that Her Royal Highness the Princess came to the court to listen to politics, they also
Feeling shocked and unacceptable.
However, they did not speak out against it and remained silent.
In this way, the difference between DPRK and Jingwei is clear.
A fierce opposition party accounted for two-thirds. Almost all important ministers and veterans spoke against it.
There is a neutral party that neither supports nor opposes, such as Fenyang County Prince An, General Yin, and some young officials.
There is also a die-hard Emperor's Party, not many of them, just Chen Zhan, Lu Chi, and Zhao Qi.
Fortunately, these three people are all eloquent people, especially Chen Zhan, who said that he has become a censor all the way. The words of one person are worth ten.
For this day's memorial, Chen Zhan secretly prepared for several months. At this time, he was criticized and scolded by the ministers, which he had expected. Even when his own father looked at him angrily, he did not flinch.
Chen Zhan raised his head and straightened his chest and responded: "The kings of Lu, Ning, and Min all committed serious treason on that day and were sentenced to death. The emperor ignored the past and ordered several princes to live in the palace and raise them carefully. Now they are allowed to enter the palace.
Chao Tingzheng can be said to be extremely benevolent."
"Princess Duanrou is the only bloodline of the Emperor. She has been extremely intelligent and outstanding in academics since she was a child. The Emperor allowed the Crown Prince of Lu to enter the court, and also allowed the Crown Prince of Ning to enter the court, and the Crown Prince of Fujian. Why can't His Royal Highness the Princess enter the court together?
"
Of course not!
It must not be possible!
There is no precedent for a princess to enter the court to listen to politics!
Zhao Qi immediately answered the question: "You keep saying you are loyal to the Emperor, but has anyone really thought about this matter from the Emperor's perspective? Has anyone ever truly sympathized with the Emperor's feelings?"
"It's just that Princess Duanrou is brought into the court. It won't be a big deal to the country or the court. Why are you so intolerant of her?"
Pooh!
All the ministers sighed in their hearts. To put it nicely, there is no serious problem with Yu Guochao now, but if it is not stopped, the next step will be to make Princess Aluo the crown prince.
It’s true that all the ministers’ heads are full of decorations! Even a blind person can see such an obvious thing!
Lu Chi also said in a deep voice: "The rules and regulations of our ancestors are not static. Princess Duanrou has both political integrity and talent, outstanding intelligence, and is the only flesh and blood of the emperor. I think there is nothing wrong with joining the court to listen to politics!"
What do you mean by repeatedly emphasizing that the emperor is the only daughter? Even if the emperor only has one daughter, there is no reason for the princess to be the crown prince!
In short, the court hall became a noisy mess.
The emperor, who was sitting on the dragon throne, said nothing and allowed the officials to argue angrily and shout. It was not until the time came for the emperor to disperse that the emperor opened his mouth: "We will discuss this matter later, disperse the court!"
…
No matter how angry they were, all the officials had to swallow their anger and respectfully send the emperor off.
After the emperor left, the ministers were still angry and unwilling to give up. Some of them had a fierce temper and took action before leaving the Jinluan Palace.
Chen Zhan was the first to bear the brunt and received two punches. The person who took advantage of the chaos was also a censor. This censor was a rigid person and had always been unaccustomed to the sycophantic Chen Zhan.
The clay figurine still has a certain earthy nature. After being scolded for a long time and being attacked by someone unexpectedly, Chen Zhan sulked, aimed at the censor who made the move, and kicked him back violently. He kicked the censor who had done something evil to the ground.
He fell to the ground and screamed miserably.
As a result, everything was immediately in chaos. Many ministers who had fire in their hearts were "ignited".
Zhao Qi and Lu Chi were not spared and were punched several times during the chaos.
No one can stand and get beaten, right? Anyway, the emperor will end it, so let’s just take action.
There was a group fight in the Jinluan Palace, which was a "grand event" that had never happened since the founding of the dynasty.
King An saw the opportunity quickly and immediately called the imperial guards to come in. With the "maintenance" of more than a hundred imperial guards, this group fight that was destined to be recorded in the history of Daqi was finally stopped.
All the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital were summoned to the Jinluan Hall to treat the injuries of officials and ministers who had their heads broken or kicked to the ground.
Even if you don’t want to think about it, you know that Chen Zhan was beaten the worst. Fortunately, they were all superficial injuries, which looked scary and nothing serious.
Chen Shangshu didn't feel sorry for his son at all, he gritted his teeth and snorted coldly.
After returning home, you must give this traitor a good lesson! In order to please the emperor, you have to abandon even the most basic ethics of an official. It is impossible not to beat such a traitor!
The emperor was shocked when he heard about this and was very angry. He ordered Eunuch Wei to come and deliver an oral message. The ministers who took action in the Jinluan Palace today will each be fined half a year's salary. Every one of them counts, and no one can be exempted from punishment!
In addition, Chen Yushi Lu Zhangyuan and Zhao Zhongshu Ling, who suffered flesh injuries, were both left in the palace to recuperate.
Chen Shangshu wanted to "teach the traitor a lesson", but he could only wait for the emperor to release him back to his home.
The New Year's Eve party held in the twelfth year of Jianye's reign really gave everyone an unexpected "surprise".
