The next day, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, was the day of the court meeting after five days.

After being awakened by Wang Zhongzheng and others, Zhao Yang quickly put on his clothes, washed himself, and went straight to Daqing Hall with his companions.

Remembering the last morning court, which was on the tenth day of the first lunar month, he wanted to see what the early morning court in the Song Dynasty was like. Unfortunately, he got up late and had no chance to see it. Today he was finally able to see the grand scene.

When Zhao Yang arrived outside Daqing Hall, the sky was still dark, but there were stone lampposts under the corridor outside the hall and on both sides of the stone steps, so he could barely see clearly.

After waiting for a while, additional lamps began to be installed in Daqing Hall.

Then around the fourth quarter of the Yin hour, the sound of drums came from the drum tower in the palace, and the palace door opened. A group of courtiers who had been waiting outside the palace filed in and headed straight towards Daqing Hall.

Several of the husbands whom Zhao Yang had met before, including Qian Mingyi, the official in charge of Kaifeng Prefecture, were among them.

Due to the brightness of the light, almost no one noticed Zhao Yang and his party standing in the distance. They all mistakenly regarded Wang Zhongzheng and others as the imperial guards on duty, but Zhao Yang and the others were staring at the officials who were arriving one after another.

"I'm coming."

Following Wei Tao's whispered reminder, Zhao Yang also saw Qian Mingyi slowly walking up the stone steps.

"Young Master, why don't you go say hello to this guy?" Wei Tao whispered.

Zhao Yang thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said, "Don't worry, let's give him a 'surprise' first."

In fact, he wished he could go over and play tricks on Qian Mingyi right now, but he was also afraid that Qian Mingyi would imitate Zhang Yaozuo, being arrogant at first and respectful at the end, and show off on the spot, so how could he scold the other party in the name of impeachment?

Of course, it can still be done, but it will be a loss in theory, and those who know the truth may not still stand on his side, and may even think that he is narrow-minded...

It's not wrong to say that. Anyway, Zhao Yang really didn't want to let Qian Mingyi go easily. Who asked this guy to force him to kneel down in the Yamen Hall of Kaifeng Mansion that day.

Humph, we'll see!

Under Zhao Yang's cold gaze, Qian Mingyi, who was yawning, walked into the Daqing Hall along with the courtiers without noticing.

In view of wanting to give Qian Mingyi a 'surprise', Zhao Yang did not enter the palace at this time.

Not long after, Zhao Zhen came slowly with Wang Shougui and his entourage. Seeing Zhao Yang standing outside the palace, Zhao Zhen was slightly startled, stepped forward and asked, "Zhao Yang, what are you doing here?"

"Shh." Zhao Yang made a low-pitched gesture. After subconsciously glancing at the palace, he replied: "I'm here to attend the court meeting."

The corners of Zhao Zhen's eyes twitched slightly, and he knew immediately that this kid was up to something, otherwise why would he be so sneaky?

He asked in a low voice: "What do you want to do?"

Zhao Yang did not hide anything and said truthfully: "I want to impeach Qian Mingyi."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, as expected, he said angrily: "You are not an admonisher..."

"Then the official will appoint me as an admonishment officer."

"you……"

Zhao Zhen was furious, pulled Zhao Yang aside, and whispered: "The court meeting is to discuss national affairs, no nonsense!"

Zhao Yang said dissatisfied: "At the beginning, the officials tacitly allowed me to take revenge on my own..."

"..." Zhao Zhen was suddenly speechless.

At this time, Wang Shougui approached the two of them and whispered: "Guan family, the time has come."

Zhao Zhen nodded slightly, then looked at Zhao Yang again. Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Yang spoke first: "Don't worry, officials, I won't mess around."

Zhao Zhen was doubtful and wanted to say something else. Wang Shugui urged him again, but he had no choice but to warn Zhao Yang and hurried into the palace.

Zhao Yang also took advantage of the opportunity for the courtiers in the palace to salute the officials, and said hello to Yuan Zheng and Guan Yan, the two inner palace Chongban, and quietly walked into the main hall, stopping at the end of the procession.

Yuan Zheng and Guan Yan looked at each other and smiled bitterly, pretending not to notice.

"The princes are at peace."

"Thank you, Guanjia."

After the monarch and his ministers greeted each other, Zhao Zhen sat in the main seat in the palace. His eyes drifted inadvertently to the end of the line of officials of His Highness. Sure enough, he saw Zhao Zhen standing there holding a bamboo tablet, looking decent.

It seems to have been planned for a long time...

Zhao Zhen thought to himself.

"Official?" Wang Shougui asked for instructions.

Zhao Zhen nodded and signaled to the ministers in the palace: "Let the court meeting begin."

The ministers of the dynasty began to speak in order. First, the prime minister spoke about political affairs, followed by the Privy Council about military preparations and military preparations, then the counselors spoke about political affairs to supplement them, and then the three envoys.

Zhao Yang only listened to Chen Zhizhong's speech. Today, Chen Xianggong did not talk about specific political affairs, but reported on the progress of compiling "Book of Tang". Zhao Yang was somewhat interested at first, but after listening to it, he felt He was getting sleepier and sleepier, and his upper and lower eyelids were fighting. The two officials standing opposite him and on the left looked at each other in confusion. No one knew where this kid appeared.

By the time Zhao Yang came to his senses, all the ministers in the political hall had finished their speeches, and it was Qian Mingyi's turn to speak about the affairs of the Kaifeng Mansion.

He reported to the officials the fire cases that had occurred in Bianjing in the past five days.

Fire cases have always been taken seriously, and civil or criminal cases are classified according to the cause of the fire: if a house accidentally catches fire, it is usually handled by officials from Xiangfang under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture - Xiangjie Dusuo; but if someone deliberately sets the fire, Then send people who are also under the jurisdiction of Kaifu to inspect and arrest them both inside and outside the capital.

After Quan knows the affairs of the Kaifeng Prefecture, officials below the fifth rank can also report. These officials report on specific matters, such as the third department of household affairs reporting on taxation, and the third department of official affairs reporting on officials' promotions, transfers, and envoys' money. etc.

After these officials have finished their performance, it will be the turn of the various admonishers to use their talents to catch the decrees and officials and criticize them.

Not surprisingly, it was Chen Zhizhong who was impeached today.

Although under Zhao Yang's persuasion, the officials did not remove Chen Zhizhong, and Zhao Yang and Chen Zhizhong also resolved the misunderstanding, the admonishers ignored this and severely criticized Chen Zhizhong for pretending to be sick at home a few days ago. It was as if he wanted to persuade officials to remove Chen Zhizhong on the spot.

It's a pity that Zhao Zhen had already made up his mind and sat upright without commenting. This made the admonishers lose their original momentum.

When these admonishers lost their voices, the hall gradually became quiet.

"Is there anyone else who wants to play?" Wang Shougui asked as usual.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice sounded from outside the main hall: "Your Majesty, Zhao Yang, has something to say!"

who?

All the courtiers in the palace were stunned, and then turned their heads to look curiously, including several ministers from the Political Hall.

Among them, Qian Mingyi's reaction was even more violent. He suddenly turned his head and stared at the position where Zhao Yang was standing. He didn't know if he had a sprain.

Still here...

Zhao Zhen let out a breath, feeling helpless.

However, since Zhao Yang had never acted recklessly before and quietly listened to everyone discussing state affairs, he did not stop him. What's more, he also had some opinions on Qian Mingyi about what happened that day, but there were some things that even he, the monarch, could not take the lead in. Just for sex.

"What do you want to play?" He pretended not to know.

Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Yang cupped his hands and said, "I want to impeach someone."

"Who do you want to impeach?" Zhao Zhen asked knowingly.

Hearing this, all the ministers in the palace showed playful expressions on their faces.

They also know that this kid has had conflicts with many people recently, half of them are the Shan Zhengshi Hall. But since this guy said he wants to impeach someone, it is undoubtedly...

"I want the impeachment authority to know the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion, Qian Mingyi!" Zhao Yang said loudly.
