"Shengfu Yin, Sheng Shilang, how dare you be so shameless in front of His Majesty?" The first assistant reprimanded Yanyuan in a deep voice.
Sheng Yuan glanced at him, saluted Emperor Yanping and said, "Your Majesty, the reason why I behave in such a stateless manner is because it was the first time I saw a live female minister and traitor. Therefore, I was so angry that I lost my etiquette and returned. I hope you can forgive me."
Emperor Yanping looked at the two brothers and sisters who were making respectful gestures, gently smoothed the corners of his mouth, and asked with a straight face: "Chen Zhanshi is a veteran of two dynasties. The emperor once praised him for being calm and pragmatic. How did he become what you said?" Is your daughter a sycophant? If you, Shengfu Yin, talk nonsense, I'm afraid I will punish you."
"Your Majesty, the late emperor treated this thief very well. However, within a short period of his great career, he forced your majesty to open up the harem. This is an act of indignity, unkindness, and ungratefulness. I'm afraid that those who are unkind and ungrateful like this will... When the female ministers and traitors of ancient times saw her, they would exclaim and bow in admiration!"
"How dare Shu Zian slander my reputation!" Chen Shaochou was so angry that his face turned green. He pointed at Sheng Yuan tremblingly, his eyes about to split, "You want to incriminate me! You want to incriminate me!"
Probably because his image was too pitiful and his expression was too sad and indignant, the previous group of officials who pointed their sword at Sheng Guogong Mansion also spoke out one after another, either condemning Sheng Yuan for compiling the crime, or echoing Chen Shaochou's accusations against Sheng Yuan.
For a moment, the palace seemed to have turned into a gathering place for mosquitoes. The buzzing and chaotic chatter made people dizzy and grumpy.
"Silence!" Emperor Yanping's head was swollen from the noise, and he got angry and knocked down the tea cup in his hand.
Suddenly, the sharp sound made by the porcelain and the ground was like a basin of ice water, shocking the officials who had temporarily formed an alliance.
Very good, everyone calmed down.
Sheng Yuan watched the excitement for a while, and saw that the stage was back in his hands. He cleared his throat and continued to speak loudly: "A Rong and Nu'erhan teamed up to invade our country. At this time of crisis for the country, the loyal king should have been deprived of his wealth. The ministers who are responsible for the matter do not think of doing their best to surround the imperial court and the country, but instead support A Rong and Nuerhan. This is really unfaithful and unfilial!"
"I'm wronged!" Chen Shaochou's face turned pale, and he didn't care about arguing with Sheng Yuan. He knelt down and cried urgently and tremblingly under the eyes of Emperor Yanping.
"I am far from being a person who does not remember kindness. In fact, the Empress Dowager Xiaowen left a legacy, asking your majesty to observe filial piety in the days and years, and to take care of yourself!" The old man also told me to supervise your majesty! After careful calculation, your majesty will take several months. It was already the filial piety period!
Although I am stupid, I still want to plan for the country and the country, so I just mentioned the draft!
His Majesty! His Majesty! Chen Shaochou is definitely not as miserable as Sheng Wenzhen said!
I hope your Majesty will be aware of this! "
"Chen Zhan, you have quoted the Empress Dowager's conclusive statement, but I want to ask you - the imperial court behaves according to etiquette, and Da Chu follows the etiquette of Yan and Chen. According to the old practice, in addition to filial piety, Your Majesty should pay homage to the ancestors in the Ancestral Temple, and then inform the envoys of various countries, In order to let them know that the procedures for intercourse between the countries have resumed, and they can have normal exchanges - may I ask, when did the imperial court perform this ceremony?"
Sheng Yuan waved her sleeves at him and snorted coldly: "The Queen Mother Xiaowen is kind and considerate that Her Majesty has recovered from her injuries and that the Queen is about to give birth. She is afraid that the Emperor, the Queen and Princess Zhaode will be in trouble, so she left her will.
Your Majesty, the Queen, and the Princess have made a pledge of filial piety, but the courtiers still have to abide by the old system. That is, the Emperor promised to restart the draft, and the people can happily send women to participate in the election, but they don't know who among the kings in the court dares to violate the regulations. During the period of national filial piety, Marry a daughter-in-law? ! "
When Sheng Yuan said this, cold sweat rolled down Chen Shaochou's forehead.
But Shengyuan refused: "As far as I know, Emperor Chengyuan left a rule - the emperor's draft must not disturb local people, and girls of suitable age from the families of officials from various places can participate. According to this rule, I only know the draft proposed by Chen Zhanshi, Which old rule are you violating?!"
"Me!" Chen Shaochou's face turned pale, and his brain, which was working hard, went blank.
"Your Majesty!" Sheng Yuan shook her sleeves and saluted Emperor Yanping again, who was watching the play with great interest on the throne. "The matter of the tiger talisman has been proved by my grandfather's examples. What I want to say is that A Rong and Nuer Han Heading northward, the intention to invade our great Chu rivers and mountains is clearly revealed!
At this time, everyone who cares about the country and the imperial court knows that we must unite to resist foreign aggression! Instead of attacking colleagues and destroying unity without caring about everything! "
As Sheng Yuan spoke, his eyes turned around on the faces of the officials who had previously impeached Duke Sheng Guo.
Immediately, the officials who had prepared their drafts suddenly trembled and took a few steps back in unison.
"Your Majesty, Fei Chen arbitrarily brought charges against his colleagues. However, when foreign enemies captured three of our border cities and the soldiers guarding the border suffered heavy losses, a large number of officials in the imperial court did not think about retreating from the enemy, but instead attacked their colleagues... This and The external enemy cooperates with the internal enemy. Who can believe that they have never collaborated with the enemy!
The minor ministers even suspected that Arong and Nuerhan had already bribed some female officials. When they raised their troops to invade, they ordered the ladies of Chu to attack in the east and west, blurring the key points, cutting off the wings of the imperial court, and reducing the morale of the officers and soldiers of Chu. Achieve the purpose of coordinating their actions! "
"Shengfu Yin! Do you have any evidence for this?! If there is no evidence, how is such a conclusive statement different from what Chen Zhan did before!" A bachelor of the Hanlin Academy couldn't help but stand up and scold him.
Sheng Yuan spread his hands: "Looking for evidence, the Internal Guards are professionals! I'm just making reasonable speculations! Colleagues, think about it, isn't it suspicious enough that Chen Zhanshi and others concentrated their firepower on the Sheng family?"
"Yin Shengfu, the crime of collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country is a crime against the nine clans. If there is no conclusion, please be careful in your words and deeds!" Zuo Shilang, who had just taken office in the Ministry of Rites, warned in a deep voice.
"Okay, even if I'm suspicious, they have never collaborated with the enemy... But when everyone should be working together to fight back against Ajong and Nuerhan, Chen Zhanshi and others did not hesitate to waste the fighting opportunity in order to eliminate the dissidents. It seems that they have no interest in national affairs, Shouldn't those actions of neglecting the public affairs due to private interests and focusing on private interests over righteousness deserve to be criticized by the people of the world?"
Sheng Yuan's change of attitude was so smooth that the officials who wanted to question him scratched their heads.
Before she could launch an attack on her side, she quickly changed her tune... She was so tricky!
"Your Majesty, perhaps many of the adults present thought that what I said was exaggerated, and even meant to criticize my colleagues. However, when people like Chen Zhanshi were in danger in the border towns of Dachu, they did not care about the soldiers, the people, or the country, but instead Treat the loss of Da Chu as a weapon to attack your colleagues!
People like these who have no integrity as Chu scholars, who know their own interests but help the enemy to carry out counter-intentional schemes. Even if they have never had any connection with the enemy before, do they not count as treason and collaboration with the enemy?
Your Majesty, shouldn't we punish those who are unkind, unkind, unsubmissive, wise, loyal and unfilial?
I have little knowledge, but I also know that a minister should be loyal to the king, serve the country, and put righteousness first!
If I wasn't too angry, I wouldn't have behaved disrespectfully before the emperor! Your Majesty, please punish them for inciting their colleagues to behave inappropriately! "
