End of the year.
Jinluan Palace.
This is the last court meeting of the year.
Officials from various ministries came one after another, with the Prime Minister standing at the head of the group. Not only officials, but also powerful generals and the like also came to attend the morning court.
Everyone was waiting for the arrival of Her Majesty the Empress, and many ministers had hidden glints in their eyes.
It stands to reason that Gu Lan, as the newly promoted King of Jingyang, must attend an annual court meeting of this level. However, people were almost here by now, but he was still not seen.
As the Prime Minister, Sima Qin glanced at the Metropolitan Procuratorate with a vague look.
He observed the vague look of madness on Zuodu Yushi's face and couldn't help but think about it.
The censor is responsible for supervising all officials, and the censor of Zuodu is the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Now it seems that there is something big to mention?
Thinking of what happened in the capital recently, it is nothing more than the dispute between King Gu Lan of Jingyang and the people of the Nether Clan...
Sima Qin showed a smile like an old fox. It seems that today's court meeting will be very interesting...
He is not worried about Gu Lan's problems at all, because he is one of the few people who knows the details of Gu Lan, and he also knows the relationship between him and His Majesty. The mere impeachment of the censor has no impact on him at all. .
In fact, in addition to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are many officials in the six ministries who are ready to report the matter.
In their opinion, Gu Lan's quarrel with the Nether Clan nobles who came to seek refuge in Dajing at the gate of the city was really too bad and harmed the dignity of the country and the empress!
However, His Majesty's treatment is also very unreasonable!
Not only did Gu Lan not be punished, but the nobles of the Underworld were arrested and beaten. How could this convince the public?
Your Majesty's behavior is so partial to a pretty boy. Doesn't it mean that this pretty boy can walk around the capital?
No one can offend him in the future?
Instead, he can bully whomever he wants?
Is there any royal law? Are there any laws? !
Therefore, all the officials were unconvinced, and with Luo Chen cooperating with Wu Fan's remnants of instigation, these unconvinced young officials gradually gathered into a force!
They were planning to make some big noise at this court meeting.
Even if Gu Lan can't be completely removed from the title of king, he still needs to be injured and can't continue to be so arrogant!
These ministers acted with almost no scruples, so Sima Qincai could easily guess their actions.
The purpose is simply to let the Metropolitan Procuratorate take the lead, wait for the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to stand up and take a look at Gu Lan, and then they will follow behind and take turns attacking Gu Lan. If this continues, I don’t believe that Your Majesty can still remain indifferent. !
After all, many officials have been entangled among them, and this force has developed into a considerable force in the dark, enough to occupy nearly one-third of the court.
Of course, this does not mean that the remaining two-thirds are officials who oppose them, but that most of them are neutrals.
They often do not agree with any policy, and certainly do not oppose it. They always act according to the prevailing situation.
If the majority of people support it, then they will go with the flow and choose to support it. If those who oppose it make up the majority, then they will also oppose it.
The law does not punish everyone. Although this political stance is not outstanding, it is better than stability.
When serving as an official in the court, sometimes being moderate and stable is more important than being outstanding.
These people all knew the plans of the officials headed by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but more often than not, they had an attitude of watching a show.
It involves the prince, and His Majesty's most favored King Jingyang. This kind of thing cannot be taken lightly.
Only a passionate young man could be easily incited and make hasty choices.
These veterans, who have been in the court for many years, all have a look of interest, ready to watch the performance of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. As for when it is their turn to express their stance, it depends more on His Majesty's attitude.
...
"Hmph, the court meeting is about to begin, and King Jingyang hasn't come yet. He simply doesn't take Chao Gang seriously. He's too arrogant and domineering!"
"That's right, when I wait for my ministers to go to court, I will get up and prepare at the fourth watch. Come and wait outside the south gate as soon as possible. King Jingyang behaves so wildly and simply does not take His Majesty seriously."
"..."
Many people didn't see Gu Lan appear and started criticizing him!
The centrists also frowned, as being late in officialdom is frowned upon anytime... because it signifies specialness.
I don’t know when.
Mu Yuyan, wearing a golden dragon robe, appeared from the back of the palace, her graceful appearance was still elegant and noble, her slim figure moved slightly, and she sat upright on the dragon chair.
Her face was majestic and solemn, and she had an imperial aura.
The faces of the officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate below showed even more awe!
Because until this moment, Gu Lan still hasn't appeared. This behavior is simply disrespectful and disrespectful to Chao Gang!
"Today is the last court meeting of the year. Dear ladies, do you have anything to say?"
The bright and sweet sound spread throughout the hall, and the majestic aura made all the officials awed and focused all their attention on the morning meeting.
"Back to Your Majesty, I have something to report!"
Under the signal from Zuodu Yushi's eyes, a seventh-grade Yushi stood up and spoke righteously.
"Accurate."
"Gu Lan, King of Jingyang, interfered in the internal affairs of the Nether Clan without authorization and affected the friendly relations between Dajing and the Nether Clan. He also acted arrogantly and domineeringly, oppressed the people of the capital, despised Chao Gang and neglected political affairs. Please punish him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, all the censors in the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate knelt down and shouted to Mu Yuyan: "Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Mu Yuyan's expression was unclear, and she couldn't see any expression, as if she hadn't heard anything.
Zuodu Yushi stood in the front position and could see everything clearly. His heart sank slightly, and he didn't understand what His Majesty meant.
In their imagination, His Majesty had a countermeasure regardless of whether he was in favor or against it, but Mu Yuyan seemed to have ignored it, leaving him at a loss as to how to deal with it.
"Your Majesty! King Jingyang also seeks to take credit from the Xuantiansi, is arrogant and takes credit, is lewd and promiscuous in the harem, is arrogant and arrogant, and does not diligently take the imperial examinations. He has really ignored your majesty's grace. Please take back his title and demote him to a commoner!" "
"It should be beheaded!"
"..."
Not only the censors stood up, but also several young officials from other ministries came forward to impeach.
It seems that Gu Lan has done something heinous and cannot be forgiven!
But in fact, all things considered, it was only the matter of injuring the nobles of the Nether Clan without authorization that was a bit out of line. However, it was Gu Lan's idea to conquer the Nether Clan. Mu Yuyan ignored how he dealt with the Nether Clan.
What's more, she just issued an order yesterday to deal with the nobles of the Nether Clan, and her intention was extremely clear. It would be fine if these ministers didn't hear about it. If they just stood up and talked about it, wouldn't it mean that she would not be able to step down?
"Is there anything else?"
Mu Yuyan narrowed her eyes, opened her red lips, and asked in an understatement.
Suddenly, the eyes of the kneeling ministers froze slightly. Although His Majesty's tone was calm, they seemed to hear a hint of sullenness in it...
(I was in a hurry to get rid of my body yesterday, so I gave the chapter the wrong name... Well, it’s very troublesome to change the channel site. All handsome guys and beauties, just make do with it! I beg you for data!!)
