The next day, Mao hour is approaching.
Countless civil and military officials in the Forbidden City have been waiting outside the main hall.
Seeing that the Jinluan Palace had just opened, everyone walked in one after another.
Zhang Yuhang walked quietly among them, turning a blind eye to the countless people around him who looked at him as if they wanted to eat him alive.
Jian Tiansi Town Fu Envoy, this is an official position from the fourth rank, and it can be regarded as a foothold in the court.
He stood silently among the crowd, waiting for the King of Zhou to come to court.
And at this moment, a figure appeared next to him.
Marquis Yongchang stood beside him quietly without saying a word.
He could do nothing about what his son did.
Zhang Yuhang just nodded lightly towards this cheap father and didn't make the slightest move.
Others around them also looked at the father and son with malicious eyes. No matter how the outside world spread rumors about the relationship between Zhang Yuhang and Yongchang Hou, they were biological father and son, and this could not be denied at all costs.
At this moment, Eunuch Gui took the lead in appearing in the main hall.
Shouting: "The Emperor has arrived!"
All the civil and military officials bowed and saluted, shouting: "I am here to see Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"
King Zhou sat directly on his throne, waved his hand and said: "Everyone is at peace."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After all the ministers stood up again, Eunuch Gui shouted again in his sharp voice: "Today morning, if there is something to do, we will start the court, if there is nothing, we will leave the court!"
After hearing this, Zhang Yuhang was the first to stand up, bowed to the King of Zhou, and then bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to report to you, your Majesty, Zhang Yuhang, the Minister of Supervision and Supervision of Tiansi."
There was a hint of a smile on King Zhou's lips, but he still said calmly: "If Zhang Aiqing has anything to say, just say it."
"I obey the order."
Zhang Yuhang stood up straight, then glanced at Lin Shaowen, the Minister of Rites, took out the memorial he had prepared from his sleeves, and shouted loudly: "I impeach Lin Shaowen, the Minister of Rites, for knowingly breaking the law and allowing his son Lin Jianzhong to act recklessly in Kyoto for many years. , lawless.
He committed murder, arson, rape, and looting without hesitation. There were hundreds of Zhou people who were directly persecuted, killed, and forced to have their families destroyed by this person, not to mention those who were persecuted secretly but were hindered by Lin Shangshu's control. A person who dares to be angry but dare not speak out.
Persecution of good girls, forced into prostitution, no way to sue, people died crying injustice, such evildoers, but go unpunished, and even become the best in Haoting Academy, and become the children of famous families. "
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuhang looked directly at Lin Shaowen and said coldly: "Lin Shangshu, I said you knew the law and broke the law. Do you know the crime?"
Above the Jinluan Hall, there was a moment of solemnity.
Everyone knew that there would be a good show this morning, but no one expected that it would become so intense right from the start, questioning the Minister of Rites in person, how many people in this world would dare to do this.
When Lin Shaowen heard this, he just looked at Zhang Yuhang with cold eyes, but didn't say a word.
But just because he can stop talking doesn't mean that others can stop talking too.
Xia Hongyuan and Zhang Yuhang first focused on Lin Jianzhong's actions, and now they are using this point to point the finger directly at Lin Shaowen, and their intentions are obvious.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." He saluted directly to the King of Zhou and handed over the memorial he had prepared long ago.
Then he looked at Zhang Yuhang and said bluntly: "This man is lawless, his horse tramples the academy, his feet trample students, and he slaps his master.
How audacious and wanton is this?
Based on what he has done and his character, he is qualified to question Master Shangshu, is he worthy? "
"I do not deserve."
Zhang Yuhang's expression did not change at all: "I am not worthy of taking action against a beast that is riddled with blood debts and is full of evil deeds.
I am not worthy of applying the laws of Zhou to the son of Master Shangshu.
I don't deserve to be with you, who keeps talking about how bold you are, but turns a blind eye to the evil things happening in Kyoto.
I won't cooperate with you, the Minister of Rites, serving as an official in the same court, right? "
Or not?
These two words choked Xia Hongyuan and he didn't know what to say.
He just pointed at Zhang Yuhang and kept accusing him, "You, you are arrogant."
But Zhang Yuhang was not used to his problem and said directly: "Am I using strong words to make excuses?"
He pointed at the memorial he had prepared a long time ago and shouted angrily: "Lin Jianzhong's actions have all the witnesses and material evidence, so what else is there to quibble with?
You are finding fault with what I did in the academy. Are what you say and do really for the sake of the Great Zhou Sheji, or are they for your own shady purposes? "
"But what you did in the academy was not a false accusation, and you cannot deny it."
Zhang Yuhang sneered: "Deny it, why should I deny it?"
Xia Hongyuan was delighted: "Are you admitting it?"
If you can really kill this thing, then you don't have to worry about not being able to get him this time.
At this moment, Zhang Yuhang knew that this time he not only had to fight against the counterattacks of these aristocratic families, but also opened up the situation. How could he not have some calculations in his heart.
Without any fear, Zhang Yuhang said directly: "I galloped in the academy, captured the student you talked about, and beat your wife, but so what?"
Everyone in the main hall was shocked. This was the first time Zhang Yuhang had truly faced the court situation independently, but no one expected him to be so bold, but they saw him today.
This guy is a bit more aggressive than Zhao Yueming.
"The Academy is the most important place of my empire. Wherever you act wildly, no matter what the reason is, you are desecrating the holy place in the hearts of us scholars. You dare to take action against the Master. What can I say against such a lawless person?"
After a night of planning, Xia Hongyuan was well prepared at this moment.
"It's a joke. What I'm arresting is a traitor who breaks the law and causes trouble. Not to mention a school. Even if it's the government office of your Ministry of Rites, if something really goes wrong, I will arrest him without fail."
Zhang Yuhang said directly: "When will the status of a school that trains students be higher than the laws of the Zhou Dynasty? Or in the eyes of you people, the society of the Zhou Dynasty and the majestic laws of the Zhou Dynasty are not as good as yours" Have you lost face as a scholar?
Sir, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, have these new provisions been added to the laws of the Zhou Dynasty? If true, it means that the lower officials are not good at government affairs and have neglected their duties. Your Excellencies want to beat or punish, but the lower officials have nothing to say. "
Speaking of this, Zhang Yuhang's tone became particularly cold: "But if not, he would wantonly obstruct the handling of the case, slander the minister, and even fabricate facts. I hope the Lord Shangshu will tell you how to deal with it."
Everyone trembled physically and mentally when they heard this.
How arrogant is this? Not only does he look down on the academy, but now he dares to say anything.
The implication is too obvious.
As expected, he is not afraid of tigers even if he is just starting out, but if you think about it carefully, Zhang Yuhang is originally a son-in-law, so how can he understand the twists and turns of officialdom.
Zhang Yuhang knew very well that the more forceful and incompatible he was with these aristocratic families, the happier His Majesty would be.
Are you a lonely minister? Isn’t that the case all the time?
It is only used by His Majesty and one person. Whether life or death depends on the thoughts of the person in power. This is the person he can use with confidence.
So today, he not only showed his sharpness, but also showed no scruples.
