"Puch~"
"Hahahaha~"
As soon as Chen Ying finished speaking, Chen Kan suddenly laughed out loud, holding his belly and laughing so hard.
He thought how Chen Ying would convict him, but he never thought that this would be the case.
Yes, in his letter, he did request Fang Xiaoru to put pressure on the Ministry of War to allocate those equipment to him as soon as possible.
But Zhu Di knew exactly where the equipment was used.
It's really funny that Chen Ying actually tried to accuse him of treason by hiding weapons secretly.
Chen Kan laughed for a long time, until his stomach hurt.
Regarding Chen Kan's sudden outburst of laughter, Chen Ying did not do anything. She just looked at Chen Kan going crazy like a clown.
The mocking look in his eyes was palpable.
Laugh, laugh, laugh well, you won’t be able to laugh anymore.
After a long time, Chen Kan's laughter stopped.
After he finished laughing, Zhu Di asked calmly: "Chen Kan, what do you have to say?"
When Chen Kan heard this, he immediately retorted righteously: "Your Majesty clearly knows that this is nonsense!"
Chen Ying looked at Chen Kan coldly, as if looking at a dead person.
Immediately, he cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty is aware that the data on the weapons and armor allocated by the Ministry of War in recent years have been preserved in documents. Whether this matter is nonsense, we only need to check the documents retained by the Ordnance Supervisor to know."
After Chen Ying finished speaking with a righteous look, she turned to look at Chen Kan and asked, "I wonder if Marquis Jinghai dares to confront me in court?"
"Confront me in court, are you sure?"
Chen Kan looked at him sideways, crossed his fingers and moved his wrist, with a hint of ridicule in his eyes.
Chen Ying did not flinch, looked at Chen Kan and said sternly: "I will ask you if you dare!"
Chen Kan turned to look at Zhu Di and said with a smile, "What do you think, Your Majesty?"
Zhu Di held his face with one hand, looking back and forth between Chen Ying and Chen Kan, and then said lightly: "In my opinion, this is not necessary."
Chen Kan looked directly into Zhu Di's face and asked with a smile: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"
"That's what I mean."
In response to Chen Kan, Zhu Di turned to look at Chen Ying and said with a smile: "Chen Qing, Chen Kan is a general in the army. It is normal to ask for weapons and equipment from the Ministry of War. This is used to determine whether an important minister of the country is treason. Some people Isn’t that sloppy?”
Chen Ying looked at Zhu Di with an upright face: "Is your Majesty trying to protect Marquis Jinghai?"
"Does Your Majesty know that Marquis Jinghai not only asked for weapons and equipment, but also for food, fodder, and horses?"
I have to say that Chen Ying's upright look is still very confusing.
If Zhu Di hadn't already known what he was asking for those things for, I'm afraid Chen Kan would not be able to get through this easily.
After Zhu Di listened to Chen Ying's awe-inspiring words, a look of helplessness suddenly appeared on his face.
"I don't want to protect Chen Kan. He is my son-in-law. I know his character very well. I believe he will not rebel. Let this matter end here!"
Chen Ying didn't panic at all when she heard Zhu Di's partiality towards Chen Kanming in his words. She just nodded slightly to Yang Ying who was standing aside.
Yang Ying understood, and immediately stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the prince has committed the same crime as the common people, not to mention that the Marquis of Jinghai is your son-in-law. Your Majesty protects him in this way, and the civil and military officials in the court are blocked. What worries me is that it is difficult to Block the most serious mouth in the world."
Hearing this, Zhu Di's expression couldn't help but change, and Chen Kan's expression suddenly darkened.
Is this because he cannot be defeated in the court, so he plans to control public opinion and let himself be blamed for conspiracy?
Chen Kan looked at Yang Ying and suddenly smiled.
Yang Ying frowned slightly and shouted angrily: "The emperor is so upright in the court, how can you allow you to smile playfully and talk cleverly? As a marquis, laughing for no reason in the court is simply unseemly. I will definitely impeach you."
Chen Kan didn't say anything, but just took a step forward to confront Yang Ying.
Yang Ying was much shorter than Chen Kan, so when he faced Chen Kan directly, his originally indomitable momentum suddenly plummeted.
"What do you want?"
Chen Kan looked at Yang Ying condescendingly, and his murderous aura poured down on Yang Ying without reservation. In just a moment, cold sweat broke out on Yang Ying's forehead.
After all, Chen Kan was killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. How could a mere censor be able to withstand Chen Kan's murderous intent.
When Chen Ying saw this, she secretly thought that something was wrong. She hurriedly stepped forward to stop Yang Ying behind her, and reprimanded: "The noble Marquis is so rude. It's just a joke for no reason. Do you still want to do that kind of disrespect before the king?" A matter of etiquette?"
Noticing the changes in the center of the hall, Zhu Di's lips curved into a smile, and then he leaned on the dragon chair and started watching the show.
He really didn't want Chen Kan to get involved in the court, but now it seemed that Chen Kan could handle it without having to take action himself, so he was about to take action.
Chen Kan noticed Zhu Di's movements and knew that his heart was still towards him.
So he suddenly smiled and asked: "I know whether I am polite or not, doesn't Chen Yushi know?"
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Chen Ying's face suddenly darkened, and he didn't know if he recalled some bad memories.
"snort!"
"Chen Kan, you colluded with the courtiers and planned to rebel. Now you have behaved badly in front of the emperor, and even went to the palace with a sword. You are so brave."
"Stop, stop, stop!"
Chen Kan heard Chen Ying's reprimands and hurriedly interrupted him.
Then he pointed at Zhu Gaochi and said: "Let's not say whether I have colluded with the courtiers to plot rebellion. You said that I have behaved improperly before the emperor. His Royal Highness is still sitting on a stool in court. Why don't you say it? He is no more disrespectful than me. ?”
Then he pointed to Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui: "I am not the only one who goes to the palace with swords, there are also His Highness the King of Han and His Highness the King of Zhao. Why didn't you tell me?"
The three people pointed out by Chen Kan were lying innocently, their faces suddenly darkened, and their evil eyes were fixed on Chen Ying.
Zhu Gaoxu took a step forward and said sadly: "So, Mr. Chen wants to take part in my book?"
Zhu Gaochi said: "Master Chen also wants to join the orphan?"
Both brothers came forward, and Zhu Gaosui could only take a step forward, and said in a strange tone: "Since Mr. Chen has even participated in the two princes, I guess I can't escape, so I'd better step forward voluntarily."
Chen Kan gave Zhu Gaosui an appreciative look, "Very good, he knows how to be yin and yang, and he is the true successor of Zhu Di."
Being targeted by three princes at the same time, Chen Ying's eyes couldn't help but a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.
After a moment, he looked at Chen Kan and scolded: "Chen Kan, I am just talking about the matter, why bother involving the three highnesses."
Chen Kan smiled and said: "Why can't we involve the three Your Highnesses? Didn't they behave improperly before the emperor? Didn't they go to the palace without swords?"
"Is it possible that Mr. Chen, who is not afraid of power, only bullies the weak? No, no, no. Why doesn't Mr. Chen impeach the three highnesses? Is it because he doesn't dare?"
Things have progressed so far, the topic has been successfully deflected by Chen Kan.
The courtiers looked at the farce in front of them, and their faces turned red while suppressing laughter.
People like Li Jinglong didn't take Chen Ying seriously at all, and even laughed out loud.
He imitated Chen Kan's tone and said in a strange tone: "No, no, no, you really don't dare, right?"
A good criticism meeting was turned into a clown meeting by Chen Kan, and Chen Ying was so angry that she turned livid.
After a long while, several censors walked out of the Imperial Procuratorate again, cupped their hands towards Zhu Di and said: "Your Majesty, please punish Jinghai Marquis Chen Kan for his misconduct in front of the emperor, and then order the Ministry of War to proofread the military data so that the world can see clearly. The wolfish ambition of Jinghaihou Chen Kan."
The topic was forcefully brought back to the right track by several censors, and Chen Kan had no intention of playing with them anymore.
He didn't bother to trouble those censors, so he looked down at Chen Ying and asked: "Chen Yushi is rude every time. Since Chen Yushi understands etiquette so much, why should he be a censor? Why not replace Song Shangshu as Minister of Rites?" ”
Chen Ying raised her eyebrows and shouted angrily: "Huh, clever words, Chen Kan, no matter whether you dare to confront me or not, the heinous crime you committed cannot be hidden from His Majesty and the wise people in the world."
Chen Kan's face also darkened.
He pointed to the patch on his chest and asked, "Does Yushi Chen know what this is?"
Chen Ying said coldly: "Qilin Buzi, what, are you planning to use your power to suppress others?"
"Using force to suppress others?"
"of course not!"
"Master Chen, don't you want to discuss etiquette? I am just discussing it with you."
Chen Kan slowly took off the sword from his waist and asked, "What grade is Qilin Buzi?"
Chen Ying frowned slightly. Although she didn't understand what Chen Kan was going to do, she still responded: "The title system of our dynasty is decreed by Taizu, and all princes and counts are of the highest rank."
"If you are of the first rank, can you go to the palace with swords and shoes and not be in the imperial court?"
Chen Ying's frown deepened and she said coldly: "You can do it, but..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Chen Kan interrupted: "If you can, why is it against etiquette? Or are you, a second-rank censor, able to take back the honor that I deserve?"
"You... I am the censor of Zuodu. Our dynasty has restructured it and is now the second grade official!"
Chen Kansha nodded matter-of-factly: "Oh, it turns out we are the second grade, you are older than me?"
At this point, Chen Ying already felt something was wrong, but she still responded: "Super first-grade is naturally greater than the second-grade, but you have a title and I have an official title. How can the two be compared?"
This was what Chen Kan was waiting for. He smiled at the corner of his mouth, handed him the sword in his hand, patted his shoulder and said, "Since I'm older than you, shouldn't you salute when you see me?"
"I......"
Chen Ying was stunned, and subconsciously took the sword from Chen Kan's hand. She was about to retort, but she didn't expect that Chen Kan's hand had already touched the hilt of the sword.
"Zheng~"
The sound of the sword being unsheathed was a bit harsh.
The next moment, Chen Kan held the hilt of the sword with both hands and struck Chen Ying hard.
"Ah~"
Chen Ying's screams rang out, and she couldn't bear the sudden severe pain and fell to the ground. Emotions such as shock, fear, and disbelief suddenly rose on her face.
"How dare you beat the imperial court..."
Before the official word was spoken, Chen Kan picked up the sword again and drew it.
"It's etiquette to speak and keep your mouth shut, but you don't bow when you see Shangguan. Since you don't know how to respect Shangguan, I will teach you today."
As Chen Kan spoke, he swung the sword in his hand like a tiger.
The ceremonial sword, as the name suggests, is a sword used for decoration.
There is no attack, so it can't kill anyone, but it hurts because it's made of iron.
