"You old Gongcai is blind! Look who's coming?" Xiao Chen stepped aside.
"Shou Li, are you being unreasonable when you're hosting a full-moon banquet for me without inviting me? If Xiao Chen hadn't told me about it just now, I wouldn't have known about it." The person behind him turned out to be Li Qiu!
Gong Shouli's face is now in place. The emperor gave a letter, the queen gave a gift, six ministers, two generals, two marquises, and a prince were present in person! Counting all the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, who has this honor?
The princes had arrived, but Zhao Yu still hadn't come, so he couldn't wait any longer, so Gong Shouli immediately ordered the banquet to be served!
But as soon as the dishes were served, Zhao Yu hurried over and saw Li Qiu there, which was obviously a bit unexpected.
Just as he was about to kneel down, Li Qiu waved his hand to stop him. This was Eunuch Gong's family dinner, so there was no need to be too formal.
You, Zhao Ziyu, arrived earlier than by chance. You came right after the dish was served, which shows that you are very lucky. But because you are late, everyone will still punish you...
"The reason why I'm late is because the emperor summoned me. I just came out of the palace and came straight here. Congratulations to Eunuch Gong on the birth of his precious son." Zhao Yu's reason was such that no one could refute it. .
"Thank you, thank you!" Gong Shouli said with a smile, "Zhao Yu, you are a holy family member, and we can only envy you. In this case, it won't be easy for everyone to punish you with drinks later. You can punish yourself with two drinks." Let’s have a dinner!”
"Hurry up and sit down and eat at the bar. As the saying goes, it's hard to keep a standing guest, and you are making things difficult for the host." Wang Anbang said with a smile, because Zhao Yu had been standing upright since he came in, and everyone sitting there had to look up at him. , and this guy’s face didn’t look very good, and everyone felt very awkward.
"You're not too busy eating and drinking." Zhao Yu stared at Wang Anbang, "Sir Wang, you only know how to drink here, but do you also know how many officials in your department are corrupt, perverting the law, collecting bribes, and selling their jobs? If you knew , that is covering up, if you don’t know, then you are derelict in your duty, I will read it for you, but I haven’t wronged you, right?”
"Yeah? Mr. Zhao, what do you mean by this?" Wang Anbang was greatly surprised when he heard this. Are you Zhao Ziyu going crazy or did you bring wine? What drunken nonsense are you talking about? Why are you still interfering with me in public...I haven't offended you, have I?
"Zhao Yu, what are you doing?" Lu Jing said, "This is a wedding banquet at Eunuch Gong's house, not a court meeting of the imperial court. Why are you so good at attending Lord Anbang? Besides, what power do you have in a small Fengyang Mansion? Join him?"
"I would like to teach you all." Zhao Yu said calmly, "The emperor just appointed me, Zhao Yu, to be the Zuodu censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! As a new official, I, Zhao Yu, need to start the three fires from everyone here. I will follow you. You have no personal grudges, this is all done out of public motives, if I offend you in any way, please don’t blame me.”
Everyone was shocked and surprised, looking at each other with big eyes and small eyes, all with extremely wonderful expressions.
"Congratulations to Mr. Zhao, congratulations to Mr. Zhao!" Liu Qiheng stood up and said, "This is also a great happy event. Today we are here, and we have a double happiness, hehehe..."
"Eunuch Gong gave birth to a son, and it is a happy event. But I am the censor of Zuodu, but it is a hard job. I am afraid that I will offend everyone here and many officials in the court, and I will not be able to do it in the future." Knowing what the fate will be, haha, I really don’t know where the joy comes from?" Zhao Yu sneered.
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
"But since I am in my position, I have to pursue my own affairs! I don't care about the future. I only do the things in front of me. It is nothing more than being a monk and clocking the clock for a day... Mr. Liu Qiheng, when you were in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, you What's the point of not doing anything, allowing the censors under his command to meddle with people randomly, but not saying a word and just letting things happen?"
"What's Wang Ruhai's crime? What's Lin Dongyang's crime? It's a strange story that he joined two frontier officials just based on a rumor! No wonder the emperor said they were 'a few crows, squirting excrement from their mouths, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking, croaking. Don't look for fun, you'll all be talking nonsense tomorrow morning!'"
"You are lax in controlling your subordinates, and you are talking about you, Mr. Liu Qiheng! Don't think that just because you are the Minister of Rites, you can absolve yourself of the blame! The first one I took part in was Wang Anbang, and the second one was you."
"Master Zhao, things are not what you think..." Shao Wenzhao saw that Zhao Yu was getting more and more energetic, so he couldn't help but say something to persuade him.
"Besides, you, Mr. Shao Wenzhao, are the Heavenly Official of the Ministry of Punishment. Is this how you handle cases? What exactly is Lin Dongyang's crime? Have you, the Ministry of Punishment, come up with a result after the investigation? If the investigation proves the truth, he should be punished. If there is no evidence, he should be punished. Let him go, now lock Lin Dongyang in imperial prison, and not kill him but not release him, and ignore him and ignore him, what kind of law is this?"
"Zhao Ziyu, didn't you accuse me unjustly?" Shao Wenzhao said angrily, "Our Ministry of Punishment has already handed over the closing documents to the emperor, but the Emperor has never spoken. How can our Ministry of Punishment handle it on our own?"
"If the emperor doesn't say anything, you, Mr. Shao, should urge the emperor. This is your duty as Minister of Punishment! Also, since you are in charge of the world's punishments, don't you know who is more powerful, the law or the monarch? If the emperor has to do everything. If we want to make a decision, then why do we need laws? Why not abolish them all!"
"Zhao Ziyu, don't talk nonsense. This is a sin of slandering the king!" Xiao Chen said loudly.
"Haha, Mr. Xiao, it is a sin for me to slander the king. Then you, a high-ranking official in a feudal territory, do not obey the king's orders, do not pay taxes, do not listen to orders, do not obey the court, and do your own thing. You have no monarch, insist on your own way, support troops and respect yourself...another one. What crime?" Zhao Yu said coldly.
"Wow, you, Zhao Ziyu, are so slanderous!" Xiao Chen shouted and stood up.
"Haha, it doesn't matter if I, Zhao Ziyu, spill all my passion to you all today!" Zhao Yu said, "Let's just say that your Lord Xiao's sins are not limited to these. I will sort it out later and present it to the Emperor, you Just wait and listen to the ginseng at home!”
"Who's here?" Zhao Yu glanced around with majestic eyes and fixed on Chen Wenqi's face, "Why didn't Mr. Chen Wenqi say a word? Why is your household department innocent? Hehe, I think it's the worst. The one who belongs to the Ministry of Finance is the Ministry of Finance! All the money has turned black after passing through your hands... Don’t be busy with this, I will tell you in detail later."
"Master Ma Wuming, why are you still blushing?" Seeing that Chen Wenqi was silent, Zhao Yu came to Ma Wuming again, "You can't hide what your Ministry of Works has done in these years from me. I, Zhao Yu, am a worker. I am from the Ministry of Agriculture, and I am familiar with all the people here, so I would like to ask you, are the animals killed during the Chinese New Year all those that are old and disabled?"
"Zhao Ziyu, you..." Even Zhu Xiaochuan couldn't stand hearing it.
"The most chaotic thing is your Jinyi Guards of Lord Zhu Hou!" Zhao Yu also came directly to him, "I would like to ask Lord Zhu, how many establishments does your Jinyi Guards have now? How many guards? How many are there in the capital and how many are in other places? Are there current employees? How much are the workers, how many are paid for free? How many are the non-staff idlers, etc.?"
