Zhang An hit the threshold of the palace door heavily. If Zhang Ji hadn't restrained his strength, the threshold would have been smashed.
The moment Zhang An landed on the ground, two Yulin guards helped him up. However, they did not want to help him, but locked his hands behind his back and pressed Zhang An to the ground.
"You...how dare you beat the censor!"
One of the censors reacted after being stunned for a moment, and reprimanded Zhang Ji. Several other censors followed suit, rolling up their sleeves, as if they were having a fight with Zhang Ji in the court.
The civil servants of this era are not the powerless scholars of later generations.
In this era of frequent wars, if you want to go out on a study tour, if you don't have any martial arts skills, you don't know where you will die in the wilderness.
Especially the Qin court, because Confucianism did not enter the Qin Dynasty at the beginning, the Qin court lacked scholars.
So even though these people are now wearing the court uniforms of civil servants and holding the official positions of civil servants, under those court uniforms, they may have a body of knotted muscles.
Nine out of ten of the civil servants of the Qin court had been in the military, and only a few of them were local nobles of the Qin State who held civil posts after learning culture or were scholars from various Shandong countries who entered the Qin Dynasty. But even these aristocratic children and the scholars who traveled all the way to Qin had some martial arts skills, and they could win against ordinary soldiers despite their lack of experience.
A famous censor began to accuse Zhang Ji of being arrogant and domineering and treating national law as nothing.
Afterwards, several courtiers inevitably saw that the impeachment was gaining momentum, and even several officials in the Tingwei Mansion joined in the impeachment of Zhang Ji. Some also accused Zhang Ji of dereliction of duty and refused to go to the military camp for several days. Some also said that Zhang Ji He once raped civilian girls.
The officials who impeached him were so loud that they thought Zhang Ji had committed some heinous crime.
However, those who spoke out about impeachment were mostly courtiers with low official positions, and most of those in high positions were quietly watching the monkey show.
Yes, monkey play.
Anyone who can hold a high position in Xianyang, the political center of Qin State, is not a fool.
Although they are not so clear about the reason why Zhang Ji is so domineering today, they know that as long as Zhang Ji's behavior is to be loyal to Ying Zheng and to support Ying Zheng's decision, then even if Zhang Ji really made a big mistake for this , Ying Zheng will not rebuke Zhang Ji, but will make Ying Zheng favor Zhang Ji even more.
Of course, some people choose to wait and see, and naturally some people choose to side with Zhang Ji.
"Pfft."
Li Si, who was standing beside Ying Zheng, suddenly burst into laughter. Although the laughter was not loud, Li Si was standing beside Ying Zheng after all, so his words and deeds would naturally receive a lot of attention.
"Why is Tunggu laughing?"
Ying Zheng glanced at Li Si lightly. He knew Li Si's temperament.
Although Li Si has extraordinary ambitions for fame, he is quite calm and will not laugh for no reason.
Moreover, Li Si knew his position very well. He had no foundation in the Qin State and if he wanted to fulfill his pursuit of fame, he could only rely on Ying Zheng.
Li Si took a step forward, stood on the right side of Ying Zheng, leaned down and saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, do you still remember the time when you and your Majesty returned to Xianyang from Xinzheng, the capital of Han?"
"Of course I remember." Ying Zheng nodded, a trace of reminiscence flashed in his eyes.
"I remember that I saw Wei Wei's six wives and concubines with my own eyes. Each of them was an extremely beautiful woman." Li Si looked at the courtier who impeached Zhang Ji for robbing civilian girls with a smile. "I wonder if those civilian girls are What kind of appearance can actually attract the guards to take action."
"indeed."
There was also a hint of smile on Ying Zheng's carved face, but this smile was a bit cold.
"Although Sir is a womanizer, the wives and concubines in the house are all beauties of the world. I am also very curious. What girl among the people can lead Sir to rob her and make it known to everyone?"
Ying Zheng looked at the two courtiers who impeached Zhang Ji for robbing civilian girls with a half-smile, and then turned to look at Ting Wei Wei Zhuang: "Ting Wei, this matter will be handed over to Ting Wei's mansion, be sure to investigate it carefully."
"I accept your order."
Wei Zhuang looked at the two stunned courtiers, and then at the group of courtiers who were out to impeach Zhang Ji, and couldn't help but shake his head.
According to Qin law, if a false accusation is made deliberately, the false accuser will be punished more severely than the crime for which he was falsely accused.
But in the Qin law, those who robbed women of the people were punished by chopping off their feet!
Officials who rob civilian women by force will be punished by castration!
Therefore, what awaits the two courtiers who falsely accused Zhang Ji will be punished with the twin crimes of beheading and castration.
And why Wei Zhuang was convinced that this was a false accusation? In fact, none of the officials in Xianyang knew that the wives and concubines in Zhang Ji's mansion were all of national beauty and beauty, and there was no need to rape any civilian girls outside.
Moreover, with Zhang Ji's financial resources, he can completely solve the problem with Qian's ability, so why should he violate Qin's law?
Even if Zhang Ji really wanted to rob a civilian girl, with the sharp sword of the snare, how could these little people know what bad things he wanted to do?
Speaking of which, the Qin court has been in turmoil in recent years. Therefore, in order to maintain the internal stability of the Qin State, Lu Buwei did not carry out the drastic and drastic changes in the internal affairs of the Qin court. Therefore, the Qin court, which had always been relatively good in officialdom, also had a lot of bugs. .
In addition, the Qin court has always been lenient to admonishers, which led to the emergence of these insects who falsely accused Zhang Ji with false accusations.
As for saying that these people are insects, and falsely accusing Zhang Ji of such a crime that Zhang Ji could not possibly commit, what other fool would do it besides insects?
Moreover, they seemed to have forgotten one thing.
Although the position of Weiwei is directly under the jurisdiction of the Yingzheng government and is not subject to the control of the military, in the final analysis it is an official position within the military commander system.
The military generals of the Qin State have never participated in political battles, but on the eve of this war, they impeached the military personnel, and Zhang Ji had gathered a group of generals' disciples under his command...Kui Zhuang sighed, these people are not only incompetent, but also have nothing What is the brain if not an insect?
"Haha, I heard earlier that my unscrupulous son, the guard, was serving as the captain of the Yulin Army. I was worried that this boy would be embarrassed by his important task, so I went to Shangyuan to take a look, but I didn't expect that the Yulin Army was well-trained and had a strong morale. It can be regarded as living up to the king’s kindness and the promotion of the guard.”
Veteran Yang Duanhe smiled and stroked his long beard, chatting with Lieutenant Wang Jian beside him, completely ignoring the competition in the palace. Wang Jian glanced at Yang Duanhe in surprise, and then smiled lightly: "Speaking of which, I am not too worried about the boy at home, so I went to Shangyuan to have a look. The Yulin Army is indeed an elite force."
The two people's voices were not loud, but they were extremely clear to the ears in the silent hall.
The topics Yang Duanhe and Wang Jian talked about seemed to be their own children and had nothing to do with the fight in the court, but who couldn't hear that this was a denial of Zhang Ji's dereliction of duty?
Zhang Ji frowned sneered, looking at these insects who were impeaching him, his eyes full of disdain: "What other crimes do you have that we should impeach together?"
In fact, he knew early on that he was suddenly in a high position. Even if he was favored by Ying Zheng and Zhao Ji at the same time, he would inevitably be in the situation he is in today.
Except for Shang Yang who took the initiative to reform and offended the officials, his great-grandfather Zhang Yi, King Wu's Gan Mao, King Zhaoxiang's Fan Ju, and King Zhuangxiang appointed Lu Buwei were all targeted by the Qin court officials.
In the final analysis, it was they, the outsiders, who had violated the interests of this group of people.
However, Zhang Ji was not worried.
He has never violated Qin's laws, and he is currently one of Ying Zheng's most trusted people. He also has the support of the military. What kind of impeachment can bring him down?
"It seems that you have no charges to impeach me for, but I do want to impeach some people who collaborate with the enemy and betray the country."
