"Hey! Lao Wang, Lao Meng, do you think this guy can succeed?"
"Success? What are you thinking about? Do you think our young master will be the kind of person who takes advantage of the court in order to save money?"
"That's right! What has our young master done that was not for the sake of the people of the world?"
"The evidence is solid, but I think it might be possible!"
"How about we make a bet? Just a jar of Wuliangye?"
"No gambling!"
…
Above the silent hall, Jian Wenmin and others were bowing, waiting for Ying Zheng's instructions.
However, Ying Zheng's eyes were always on the memorial, and he would make circles on it from time to time, without any intention of paying any attention to them.
They could only maintain one posture all the time, and they were too tired to straighten their waists!
What's even more annoying is that Zhang Han, Wang Ben, Meng Yi and others actually joked about their impeachment, and finally even made a bet.
Although Zhang Han said that they might succeed in impeachment, he didn't even dare to bet a jar of wine. He was obviously lying and taking advantage of them!
The key is that Ying Zheng pretended not to hear, did not stop him, and finally made the whole audience burst into laughter!
"His Majesty……!"
Jian Wenmin couldn't keep his face, so he bowed his waist two points lower to show respect, and continued: "Your Majesty, this young master has violated the interests of the imperial court. I hope your Majesty will punish you severely!"
"I hope your Majesty will punish you severely...!"
The leaders bowed their heads again. Xia Zheng and Lu Wan, who were in agreement, could not just watch, so they had to bend their waists deeper.
Normally, if you have something to say in the morning, you can narrate the story normally after bowing your hands.
But impeachment is different. They can't get up when the emperor has no expression!
Although these people have not reached the retirement age, they are all in their forties and early fifties. They have been maintaining the 90-degree bow posture for a long time, and their bodies are already trembling slightly. If they hold on for a while longer, , I’m afraid my waist will be broken!
"Huh? Severe punishment? Punishment for what?"
Ying Zheng raised his head, as if he had lost his memory, and asked doubtfully.
In desperation, Jian Wenmin had no choice but to speak again and repeat the impeachment rhetoric.
"Ahem..."
"Feiyu, they are impeaching you. Could you please stop playing with your hair and resolve this matter?"
Ying Zheng turned to Xiao Zhengtai and coughed slightly to remind him, but he had no intention of letting Jian Wenmin and others get up!
I don’t know if I forgot it or something!
"Father, please wait a moment, my braid will be braided soon!"
Xiao Zhengtai held a bunch of hair in his chubby little hands and was playing with it carefully before saying something that almost made Jian Wenmin vomit blood.
They are bent over, half dead from exhaustion, impeaching people, while others are sitting on chairs braiding their hair?
This is because I sincerely want to kill them!
"Plop..."
After a while, the boy didn't move. Jian Wenmin could no longer hold on and knelt down in the main hall.
"What do you mean, dear?"
Ying Zheng, who was continuing to review the memorial, heard the movement and asked suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, I cannot ignore the interests of the imperial court. Today I will kneel down and ask your Majesty to severely punish this matter!"
"Plop"
"Plop..."
After him, Xia Zheng and Lu Wan couldn't hold it any longer, so they knelt down in the main hall and found a beautiful excuse for themselves, acting as if they were very patriotic.
"My dear friends, why are you doing this?"
Ying Zheng frowned slightly.
Jian Wenmin and others immediately saw hope.
If what is expected is true, Ying Zheng should let them get up next!
"Feiyu! Are you still finishing your braids? Can you give me an answer quickly?"
However, Ying Zheng had no intention of letting them get up. He just pretended to be angry and said a few words.
"Okay! It's done...!"
The young lady tossed her braided hair back on her head, jumped down from the chair, and glanced at the three people in the hall, "Let me see, who is impeaching me?"
"Although the young master is a prince, he can't set an example for the people. He actually uses public weapons for personal use and uses his status as a prince to let craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry build factories for him, harming the interests of the court and the people!"
Jian Wenmin supported her waist, knelt on the cold, hard ground and yelled angrily.
"Haha? Jian Yushi, didn't you go investigate before impeaching me?"
Little Shota was really speechless.
Even if he is the censor and has the right to report something, can't he be more cautious and investigate the matter clearly?
This guy is really not afraid of offending people!
"Inspection? The Yuan Wailang who drew the drawings for the young master is here now, and the factory has already started construction. All the craftsmen are from the Ministry of Works. What else needs to be investigated?"
"Yes, young master, have you forgotten that it was the lower official who sent the drawings to the palace for your purpose?"
Jian Wenmin and Xia Zheng looked serious and showed no fear at all.
The evidence is conclusive. Even if this guy is protected by His Majesty, he will definitely not suffer any loss if this impeachment fails!
At least it can loosen this boy's position in the court and make Master Chang look at them with admiration!
"Oh! It's so sad...!"
Xiao Zhengtai shook his head helplessly and continued: "Then have you ever investigated why I built a factory for no reason? What is this factory for? Why did Feng Shangshu send craftsmen to me for the sake of Da Qin all his life? What? If you didn’t even think of this and still went to the main hall to impeach me? Isn’t that just waiting to be tortured? "
After rolling his eyes, Shota sat back on the chair.
These trolls jump out without understanding anything. I really don’t know how they live such a long life!
"Young Master is right, have you investigated all these matters?"
As soon as the young lady stood up, Ying Zheng put down the forehead memorial in his hand, watched it with interest, and asked in a deep voice.
"Um...this...?"
The three of them looked at each other and hesitated for a long time, unable to answer.
Because after they caught the clue and determined that the craftsmen were all from the Ministry of Works, they rushed to impeach without even investigating the details!
"No matter what the young master's purpose is in building the factory, it is the private property of the young master, and the craftsmen from the Ministry of Works should not be used. As for why Feng Shangshu favored the young master, the lower official will not know!"
As a censor, Jian Wenmin was good at chewing words and arguing in court.
Even if you don’t know the reason, you just can’t use it for personal use!
He also hinted in his words that Xiao Zhengtai had given Feng Quji some benefits, which made him lose his principles and send the craftsmen to Ying Feiyu!
"Hey! Jian Yushi, if you don't investigate clearly yourself, why are you blaming me for being unprincipled?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Quji immediately stopped working.
I have been honest all my life, but my wife doesn’t even have any decent jewelry. She is so old and old, and she is bitten by this guy. It’s strange that he is capable!
"What the young master wants to build is a steam engine factory to produce a large number of steam engines. This steam engine is a source of power and can be installed on a loom to weave wool!"
"Everyone should know the importance of wool now. It can be said to benefit the country and the people. Shouldn't the Ministry of Industry support it?"
"It is true that the craftsmen needed to build the factory are all from the Ministry of Industry, but the young master has promised to double the salary, half of which will be given to the craftsmen as a subsidy, and the other half will go to the court. Moreover, these craftsmen are temporarily idle and have no projects!"
"My move is indeed contrary to the ancestral system, but it can increase the income of both the court and the people. The textile factory will be built as soon as possible, which will also be beneficial to the people of the world. I don't know what I did wrong...?"
