"I have this note!"
Under the watchful eyes of the courtiers, a girl in a blue official robe stepped out holding an ivory wat and loudly reported.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes focused on her swinging black gauze hat wings.
Others thought she was very powerful, but Jing Hedi was sitting across from her and happened to see this girl gnashing her teeth.
"According to the performance!" Either out of dissatisfaction with Shen Lianong, or simply because he didn't mind the trouble, Emperor Jinghe gave Shengyuan the stage with a wave of his hand.
very good! Upon hearing this, Sheng Yuan saluted with a wat in his hand. After standing up straight, he rolled up his sleeves and said vigorously: "I sincerely request your Majesty to limit the power of the censor to speak to officials about matters!
I sincerely request your Majesty to hold accountable those ministers who slander others for the sake of reputation!
I sincerely request your Majesty to take heavy responsibility for those who do not care about serving the country and the country, being loyal to the emperor and the people, such as a certain minister surnamed Shen. They only want to carve up a good reputation, ignore the facts, ignore the laws of conscience, and are just like flies and dogs! "
She asked loudly and forcefully three times in a row, but everyone in the court fell down.
Everyone: For a certain minister with the surname Shen, you can just give him the name Shen Lianong!
Everyone else was shocked when they heard this, not to mention the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Shen Lianong, who was just about to be named by Sheng Yuan!
"Sigh! How dare you slander Shangguan in front of the court, a mere girl! Marquis Yongxing is a good tutor! I don't think I will impeach you again!" Shen Liannong's beard exploded with anger, and he tremblingly waved the white jade scepter and said angrily.
Sheng Yuan was extremely angry at this time, how could he be afraid of his threat?
He immediately started speaking at a rate of sixty words per second and asked in one breath: "Hey, you old man! You and I are officials in the same dynasty. Since we are impeaching each other, we should discuss the matter on the matter. Why did you bring up tutoring in your words?!
If we talk about tutoring, your Shen family is really good at educating you! Let me ask you, who taught you to spy on the affairs of the prince and prince's house? !
You previously spoke so conclusively about the affairs of Prince Hui’s Mansion, as if you had seen it yourself. Could it be that you sent spies to sneak into Prince Hui’s Mansion? What is your intention in behaving like this? !
Today you can spy on the prince, but tomorrow you will dare to send someone to sneak into the palace to spy on His Majesty's every move! "
"Silence!" Shen Liannong was shocked and angry, and loudly interrupted Sheng Yuan's accusation.
He didn't care to throw the eye knife at Sheng Yuan. His face turned green and white, and he knelt down. He put his forehead on his hands and cried bitterly to Emperor Jinghe: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I have served the emperors of the two dynasties. The late emperor always encouraged me. Don't be afraid of the emperor, relatives, ministers, nobles, and dignitaries, but be loyal to the emperor!
Today, the old minister is just upholding the responsibility of being an official and censor, but he is being slandered like this. How can the old minister, the old minister be ashamed! "
Seeing him crying so sadly, Emperor Jinghe couldn't help but feel a little irritated, and looked at Sheng Yuan angrily: "You have something to say! How can you attack me personally?!"
"Your Majesty, I am just a fledgling. I only learned from the books of sages to be sincere and loyal and speak my mind. However, I don't have the acting skills of Shen Yushi to cry whenever he wants. If he behaves immaturely, he is not as thick-skinned as his predecessors!"
As soon as Sheng Yuan said this, Shen Lianong's crying paused in embarrassment.
Emperor Jinghe knocked on the imperial case impatiently: "Tell me the important point!"
"The important point is that Shen Yushi replied to the minister. Your Majesty, please let him tell you how he knew about the affairs of Prince Hui's house! Don't avoid the important and take the easy! Don't use the late emperor to pressure Your Majesty! Bai Letian of the Tang Dynasty once said in a poem,' Duke Zhou was afraid of the day of rumors, but Wang Mang was humble and did not usurp the throne... Shen Yushi, do you need me to repeat the next two sentences?"
"How dare you slander me!" Shen Liannong suddenly raised his head and stared at Sheng Yuan with splitting eyes.
"Slander?! Why are you so proud when you slander Princess Hui? When it comes to yourself, you want to eat my flesh? You are more lenient to yourself than you are to others. Who has thick skin?!"
Sheng Yuan laughed angrily, and asked Shen Lianong, who was trembling with anger and seemed about to faint in the next second: "Don't stare at me so righteously, you are accusing my father and sister of all kinds of wrongdoings. Where is the evidence?! If you just make the accusation based on 'hearsay', then we will have to explain it in front of the emperor!"
"If people don't know it, they have to do it themselves. Everyone in Kyoto knows that King Hui allowed his concubine to interfere in politics! He competed with the people for profits and whipped officials in front of everyone! There is a man and a woman in charge of Prince Kuang's palace, and there are two sets of teams. It's just a swagger! Princess Hui's escort team often goes to the army for training. With all this, why should I ask someone to investigate? Everyone in Kyoto knows about it!" Shen Liannong roared in grief, which instantly attracted the sympathy of all the ministers.
