The first thousand one hundred and thirty-eight chapters reserve (four)
Do you still need An Wang to remind you?
Sheng Hong snorted coldly, with anger flashing in his eyes: "Beating the courtiers, disturbing the court, and being disrespectful to the emperor. If they commit these three crimes, they don't have to do anything. They can just stay in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment!"
It is necessary to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
Whenever there is an incident in a court battle, there are always officials who are unlucky enough to be demoted and stripped of their posts. There are 300 new scholars in Da Qi, and they are all studying in the Sixth Ministry! There is no need to worry about having no one available!
King An felt quite relieved after hearing this: "Brother Huang is right. I will not let them off lightly this time!"
Lu Chi opened his mouth to console and said: "Please calm down your anger temporarily and listen to what I have to say. The matter of establishing a prince is not a trivial matter. It is indeed unprecedented to establish a princess as a prince. It is normal for officials in the court to object. I believe that punishing officials should not be excessive.
To prevent the emperor from getting a bad reputation as a fool!"
Zhao Qi has also been an official for many years, and his baby face, whose age cannot be seen, looked serious at this time: "What Lu Zhangyuan said is reasonable. I am criticized and criticized for a few times, but it is nothing. It is just a beating.
No muscles or bones were injured. Your Majesty, please don’t let this matter make your dragon body angry.”
"Yes... eh!" Chen Zhan opened his mouth and touched his injured nose, causing him to gasp in pain.
Everyone opened their mouths to appease him.
Sheng Hong was also a little helpless: "Okay, if others are talking, don't open your mouth. It's a good time to heal your wounds!"
Chen Yushi showed his courage despite his disability and endured the pain: "It's just a minor injury, I haven't noticed it yet. Compared to my father, they are far behind."
Everyone couldn't laugh or cry.
Brother Ji and the other two couldn't say anything for a while, so they all stood aside obediently.
At this moment, Eunuch Wei came to report: "Your Majesty, the Queen, Princess Duanrou, and Chief Gu Shan are here."
…
As soon as Xie Mingxi and others arrived, the heavy and tense atmosphere in the palace suddenly relaxed.
Xie Mingxi inquired about everyone's injuries one by one, and after confirming that all three of them were fine, she said slowly: "You three, please stay in the palace to recover from your injuries!"
Without waiting for Xie Mingxi's instructions, Ah Luo answered the question cleverly: "I will leave the palace right now and personally pick up Aunt Lin and the others to enter the palace."
There is a precedent for this matter. Recuperating in the palace is, firstly, to show the grace of the Holy Family, and secondly, it prevents the three of them from returning to the palace and having to deal with the consequences. Especially Chen Zhan...
The three of them looked at each other, agreed and thanked each other.
Xie Mingxi ordered people to pass the meal again: "After working for a long time, everyone is hungry. It is noon today, so we can all stay in Yiqing Hall to eat!"
After a pause, he said to Sheng Hong: "Several elders in the pavilion are old and standing outside the Yiqing Hall to apologize. They are afraid that their bodies cannot support them. The emperor should ask them to come in and have a meal together!"
Sheng Hong was over his anger and calmed down a lot. He nodded and sent Eunuch Wei out to deliver his speech.
After a while, five pavilion elders came in.
Mr. Lu Ge quickly glanced at his eldest grandson and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine.
Mr. Zhao Ge quickly glanced at his youngest son and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was fine.
The elder Lu Ge and Zhao Ge, who had become mature with age, did not reveal anything on their faces. Together with the other three elders, they opened their mouths to apologize with shame on their faces.
Sheng Hong said calmly: "There are other people who scolded and took action. If I want to punish them, it is also their crime. You elders, don't blame yourself too much."
"The queen has ordered lunch to be passed around. Please stay with the elders to have a meal together! We will discuss the matter of establishing the heir later."
…
This lunch made several pavilion elders feel heartbroken and stuffy, so there is no need to go into details.
A Luo moved swiftly and quickly came out of the palace to take Lin Weiwei and others into the palace to stay. Lu Chi and others all stayed in the palace to recuperate.
Those officials who were imprisoned in the prison of the Ministry of Justice were in bad luck.
The emperor issued an edict and denounced the three crimes of "beating the imperial officials, disrupting the court and disrespecting the emperor", directly dismissed several people from their official positions, and ordered the Ministry of Punishment to detain them pending trial.
For the vacant official vacancies, the emperor quickly issued an order to select young, smart and capable officials from among the lower-level officials to fill the vacancies. He also ordered several young and outstanding Jinshi to take on practical errands.
This incident fully proves the saying "there is someone in your hands who will keep you calm".
After severely punishing these officials, there was indeed a lot of calm in the court, and the matter of establishing the crown prince was put aside for the time being.
Ah Luo still went to the Ministry of Household Affairs every day, and changed her usual low profile and ran several beautiful errands within a month. She uncovered two officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs who were corrupt and derelict in their duties, and submitted a memorial to suggest improvements to the work of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
The charter omits some unnecessary long and cumbersome official documents, and also reduces the opportunity for officials to accept bribes.
The emperor approved the memorial and ordered Princess Duanrou to be directly responsible for the matter.
In this way, Princess Duanrou's fierce methods were completely exposed to everyone.
At the same time, a storybook called "The Legend of the Emperor's Daughter" was circulated.
This book "The Legend of the Emperor's Daughter" is based on a fictional dynasty and describes the legendary story of a smart and decisive princess who inherited the throne and became a generation of female emperors.
This princess was extremely intelligent, strong and brave, confident and proud. She studied diligently when she was young, and became outstanding in learning. After being appointed as the crown prince, she devoted herself to learning how to deal with political affairs. After becoming the empress, she put down several rebellions, and then worked hard to govern and achieve political success. The empress sent people
She led the soldiers to go to sea on sea ships, opened up territories, and made immortal achievements. She also convinced all the officials to win the love of the people and became a generation of empress respected by thousands of people.
Due to the Lichu scandal, this storybook with ulterior motives attracted everyone's attention as soon as it came out. Its popularity is astonishing.
Editor Mo, who wrote the story under a pseudonym, could not escape the sharp eyes of the public and his true identity was exposed.
As a result, Mo Editor quickly became a "celebrity" in Da Qi official circles. The pile of memorials to impeach Mo Editor was half a person high.
Chen Yushi, Lu Zhangyuan, Zhao Zhongshu Ling, both came from a well-known family and were the emperor's confidants, so they were not easy to mess with. A mere editor of the Hanlin Academy behaved in such a shameless and flattering manner. How could I not catch this soft persimmon and scold and bully him?
?
The emperor's attitude towards this matter also surprised everyone.
In response to the memorial, the emperor ignored it and directly promoted Mo Bian to the official position. Now, Mo Bian is already a sixth-grade Hanlin bachelor.
The officials who believed themselves to be loyal ministers were heartbroken by the emperor's stupid and stubborn actions, but they had no choice but to do anything.
The atmosphere in the court was unprecedentedly gloomy. Many officials dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out, and simply remained silent and resisted.
Ah Luo fully demonstrated her strong psychological quality that has been carefully taught and cultivated for many years. Under the silent eyes of everyone, she went in and out of the Household Department every day without being affected at all.
On the first day of October in the fourteenth year of Jianye's reign, Princess Changping, who had not been seen in public for a long time, presented a memorial, asking the emperor to appoint Princess Duanrou as the heir apparent.
On the first day of the eleventh month of the fourteenth year of Jianye's reign, the prince of Fenyang County and a group of princes and counties jointly submitted a memorial, asking the emperor to appoint Princess Duanrou as the crown prince.
In December of the 14th year of Jianye's reign, Prince Ning, Prince of Lu, and Prince Min, Prince of Fujian, jointly submitted a letter asking the emperor to appoint Princess Duanrou as the crown prince.
