He made up his mind and without hesitation, he raised his head suddenly and spoke seriously, "In the majestic palace, the king is above you. Sirs are making so much noise, do you care about the dignity of the king and his ministers? Do you care about the official status of the court?"
Because Changsheng's words were very sudden and loud, everyone was stunned subconsciously. However, some people soon came to their senses and shouted loudly, "How dare you, a yellow-haired boy, dare to speak nonsense and disobey the court officials?"
"I am the number one scholar in the Enke Military Examination, a third-rank official, and a royal official appointed by the emperor," Changsheng said seriously. "The imperial censorship station oversees hundreds of officials. You have formed a clique to resist the decree. You have no emperor and father. How can I just sit back and watch?" Ignore and stand by?"
"Master Yushi?" Another courtier snorted with disdain, "Can you go to court? Do you know the official regulations? People employed in the imperial court cannot take up new posts unless they are given a seal. Where is your official seal?"
"Although there is no official seal, there is an imperial edict," Chang Sheng said seriously, "Under the sky, everything is the king's land. On the shore of the land, there is the king's ministers. No matter how great the officials' laws are, they are not as powerful as the emperor's edict. The emperor will not take back his orders for a day. , I am the imperial censor."
"You are an arrogant boy who doesn't know the rules of government," someone else mocked and challenged, "I want to ask you, do you know what the job of a censor is?"
"I have not yet taken office, and the specific duties are not yet clear," Changsheng said, "but I am the number one scholar in the martial arts examination and was awarded the third rank. The imperial censor is also of the third rank. There is nothing wrong with the emperor's high regard for the appointment."
Naturally, there were many careful people in the court who seized the topic and attacked them head-on, "You also know that you have not yet taken office?"
"Although you have not yet taken office, your official position has been determined," Changsheng tilted his head and looked coldly at the speaker, "As a minister, you should be loyal to the emperor and the country, and abide by the dignity and inferiority. Previously, you were the most arrogant and disobedient, slandering the holy will and stirring up trouble. You must know Under the sky, could it be the king's land, on the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers, you are roaring in the court, behaving erratically, do you have the power of the emperor in your eyes, and the dignity of the court in your heart?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone burst into laughter, and all the martial arts scholars looked at each other, wondering why everyone was laughing.
"Bold madman, making false claims to deceive the emperor," someone immediately reprimanded him, "The emperor is the most powerful person, the dragon is in the golden palace, and the court is the government office of the ministers. If you speak treasonous words, you will be punished."
Changsheng did it on purpose, but he couldn't let others notice that he did it on purpose. He could only force himself to calm down, and at the same time, his energy and blood were retrograde, making him blush.
There were also people in the court who were protecting him. Seeing Changsheng's impatience, he made a mistake and hurriedly said, "Master Wang, the imperial censor was admitted through military examination. He has just entered the court and has not learned official etiquette. Don't maliciously slander me and cause trouble."
After this person spoke, someone immediately attacked him, "Master Gongsun, you are an official of the imperial court, not someone's retainer. You evade the important and take the easy and cover for him, but because you live in the house donated by Duke Ji Guo?"
"I am just discussing the matter, how can I evade the important and take the easy." The latter felt guilty.
The other party took the opportunity to ridicule, "Humph, an official's heart is not right, his behavior is unfair, he accepts gifts privately, and acts for personal gain. How can you, with your character, be able to impartiality and truthful records of history?"
"Your Majesty Wang, your words are serious. Your Majesty Gongsun's character is obvious to all my colleagues and I..."
Seeing someone on his side helping to excuse him, someone on the other side immediately spoke, "Mr. Yang, are you speaking out of public motives or out of personal feelings?"
"Why did Lord Shangshu say this?"
"Master Yang, you were one of the three witnesses when the Ni family competed in martial arts to recruit a bride. There are rumors that the Ni family gave a thousand taels of gold as a gift afterwards. I wonder if the rumors are true?"
"Master Shangshu is in charge of the Criminal Department. He has many spies under his command, and he actually listens to rumors." Yang Shuyun sneered.
"Master Yang is in charge of Dali Temple. As a high official in the criminal law, he actually bends the law for personal gain, disregards human life, and privately lists all those who died in martial arts competitions as suicides. Is this how Master Yang enforces the law impartially?"
"It's customary to challenge one's own life or death in a martial arts contest," Yang Shuyun said.
"Explanations are futile. None of you who are speaking have ever taken advantage of the Ni family. Otherwise, how could you be so indifferent and deliberately partial..."
"Shut up!" Chang Sheng glared angrily, raised his eyebrows and looked coldly, "I was the first one to take the stage in the martial arts competition, and I won an undefeated streak. I also won the first place in the court martial arts competition Enke. My ranking as the number one scholar was due to my own ability. What does the Ni family have to do with it?"
"You are outrageous," a military general shouted loudly, "there is no distinction between superiority and inferiority. The subordinates are guilty of the superiors, and they dare to contradict the officials of the punishment department."
"You are so presumptuous," Changqi glared angrily, "Don't think that because you are tall and powerful, I am afraid of you. I am able to stand here today because of my true talent and practical knowledge, not the help of the Ni family. If you have any doubts, After the court is over, you can sign a life and death certificate and be beaten in public."
"Humph." The general snorted and tilted his head.
Everyone whispered and shook their heads secretly, saying that after all, Changsheng was born in a rough place and could not escape the habit of being a gangster. Some people also say that he is young and energetic, lest others say that he borrowed the power of the Ni family.
"This is a majestic court, not your dirty world. Since you have joined the court as an official, don't be a gangster. Is it possible that you want to kill us all just because of political differences?" A civil servant said. Make sarcastic remarks.
"You also know that this is a court?" Chang Sheng retorted sternly, "But what I see is not loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, nor superiority and inferiority, but cliques and selfish interests. The following are guilty, you even dare to disobey the emperor's imperial edict, there is no trace of it. The way of a courtier."
As soon as these words came out, the whole hall was in an uproar. Changsheng knocked over a whole boat of people with one stroke.
Seeing that he was losing control of his emotions, someone immediately added fuel to the flames and maliciously provoked him, "You are a coveted son-in-law who is greedy for wealth and honor, has no ideas, and has only the courage of an ordinary man. You dare to discuss government affairs and slander ministers."
Immortality stimulated Qi and blood, and his face turned red, "I have won forty-three contests in a row. If I was greedy for wealth, I would not return the money I won to the Ni family. Although I have never been in school, I am loyal to the emperor and patriotic." , Fu Bi’s ambition to rejuvenate the country is not like yours, all of whom are well-read in poetry and books, and appear to be sanctimonious, but have no sense of loyalty, filial piety, or the etiquette of a monarch and his ministers.”
As soon as Changsheng's words came out, the eunuchs were very proud. Some people took the opportunity to make vicious remarks and said, "It's the father's fault that the son doesn't teach. As long as the parents are present and have a little restraint, the son will not be so wild and rebellious."
Hearing this man's words, Changsheng became furious and pointed, "What's your name?"
"Wu Qi, the doctor of the Ministry of Justice, is here to advise you." The other party replied with a sneer.
"Just wait for me." Changsheng's nose trembled.
As soon as Changsheng finished speaking, the emperor's voice came from the north, "Okay, I'm tired."
After hearing the emperor's words, everyone hurriedly returned to their seats and bowed.
The emperor left his seat and stood up, "I am very pleased that the number one scholar is so sincere. He is a young man with a good heart and thoughtful words. Dear friends, please do not hold grudges and blame him. I will make arrangements for his duties and let them go."
Hearing the emperor's words, immortality was like falling into an ice cave, but the emperor still misunderstood him.
At this moment, the old eunuch standing on the left side of the golden platform looked up at Changsheng. Seeing that Changsheng was shocked and frustrated, he smiled at him, and then raised his hand to the old minister standing on the left.
The latter understood, stepped out of the queue, and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
The emperor was ready to leave at this time. Hearing this man's words, his left hand trembled slightly, then he stopped and turned back, "Precisely."
The old minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that loyalty and filial piety are the first principles of employment. Although Wu Zhuangyuan is young, he has the heart of loyalty to the emperor and the ambition to serve the country. Moreover, he has just entered the official career and has nothing to do with civil and military officials. The administration needs young talents full of enthusiasm, so I ask the emperor to insist on the initial proposal and let him be appointed to the imperial censorship."
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the hall was shocked. This old man was undoubtedly a member of the eunuch party. No one on both sides of the enemy and us expected that he would say good things to Changsheng.
"Okay, okay, that's it." The emperor waved his hand and turned to leave.
All civil and military officials hurriedly knelt down to pay respects. Changsheng did not need to kneel, so after the emperor left, Yang Fugong was able to look back at him again. Yang Fugong still had a slight smile on his face, while Changsheng had a look of astonishment on his face.
Yang Fugong was very satisfied with Chang Sheng's surprise, put his hands behind his back, and walked away.
It wasn't until Yang Fugong disappeared behind the curtain that Changsheng was relieved and took a long breath. Others might not be able to tell the difference, but he had been staring at the emperor before and noticed that the emperor's left hand was shaking slightly, which showed that the emperor was very excited. , it can be seen that the emperor did not misunderstand him. The reason for his previous words was just to raise his stakes. It seemed that he had given up on him, but in fact he was betting that Yang Fugong would take the opportunity to win over him.
And that fat old eunuch was undoubtedly Yang Fugong. The smile he gave him was undoubtedly a sign of goodwill after the demonstration, and the unspoken meaning was, 'He no longer wants you, I promoted you. '
At first, everyone thought that the immortal censor doctor was completely corrupt. Who would have thought that there would be a shocking turn of events in the end. As a result, everyone was embarrassed. People who supported him before did not understand why the eunuch party suddenly recommended him again, while the previous attacks His people were also confused. Why did they change their minds? The bad guys were fooled by the people below, while the good guys were fooled by the people above.
Although Changsheng was secretly happy, he did not forget to pretend to be surprised and respectfully thank the veteran who recommended him before. The latter did not say anything, but smiled and nodded at him.
Immediately, the seal was awarded, and a group of chamberlains brought out the official seals that had been prepared. The imperial censor was the official of the law. The official seal was made of pure gold, and the others had silver and copper seals.
Although he had retired from the court at this time, most of the civil and military officials did not leave. Many people were hesitant to say something to him to save some face, but Changsheng ignored everyone and waited for the official seal to be delivered. Turn around and leave.
Yang Kai and Da Tou also took official seals respectively and followed behind.
"Congratulations, Mr. Xiantai." Datou was overjoyed.
"How did I perform today?" Changsheng asked in a low voice.
"Don't be afraid in the face of danger and speak out for justice..."
Before Datou could finish speaking, Changsheng interrupted him, "Don't flatter me, didn't you notice anything wrong with me today?"
"No, what's wrong?" Datou was confused.
"Nothing." Chang Sheng shook his head. Da Tou must not have noticed anything unusual. If even he could find out the clues, he wouldn't be able to deceive the old fox.
"Sir, it is no accident that the two of us were assigned to the Yushitai. It must be you secretly supporting us." Datou said.
Changsheng didn't answer. It was undoubtedly the emperor's intention that Datou and Yang Kai were assigned to the Yushitai. The other party knew that he needed reliable helpers.
Seeing that Changsheng didn't answer, Datou wanted to ask more questions, but was interrupted by Changsheng, "Stop talking and go back quickly."
"Why are you in such a hurry to go back?" Datou was puzzled.
"Now that we have the power, we can go back and lead the troops to ransack our homes..."
