Chapter 172: Court Impeachment(2/2)

The crimes pointed directly at the evil deeds that Pan Shangshu had committed over the years. The civil and military officials in the court looked at the young man under twenty years old in shock, kneeling on the smooth gold brick floor of the Golden Palace, with a calm expression and a plain voice reciting Pan Shangshu's crime.

“It’s simply nonsense!”

Before Fang Zheng's ten crimes accused Pan Shangshu had finished reciting, some people couldn't help but leave the shift to scold him.

The person who spoke was Jiang Zhongcheng, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and a loyal member of the Pan Party. The killer brother was sent to prison because he killed his son and was later rescued by Fang Zheng. Therefore, the one who had the deepest grudges with Fang Zheng in the court was Pan Shangshu.

Fang Zheng spread a long line of memorials in his hand. When he was so mindful that he was shaking his head, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared. So he looked up and glared at him unhappily, "Hey, do you understand the rules? I haven't finished reading yet, why are you coming out? Besides, who gives you the power to give you the squad and not have to kneel down? I kneel to the emperor. You stand in front of me like this, and the civil and military officials in the court thought I was kneeling to you, what's wrong? Do you think you are qualified to be worshipped by the ministers in this Golden Palace?"

Fang Zheng said this a bit serious. In ancient laws, there was a very serious crime called "over-system". Over-system not only refers to the fact that officials and people are beyond the scope allowed by their identities in terms of clothing, housing, vehicles, supplies, etc., but also includes the "user-etiquette". The so-called "user-etiquette" means that officials and people accept behaviors that do not conform to the etiquette system. What Jiang Zhongcheng is committing now is usurpation of etiquette.

Jiang Zhongcheng's face turned pale when he heard this. When he looked at the position he was standing, he was just blocking between the emperor and Fang Zheng, giving people an illusion of sight, as if he was being kneeled down by Fang Zheng.

Jiang Zhongcheng hurriedly moved a few steps to the side, knelt down at the emperor with a thud, and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, I will die! I did not intend!"

The emperor's face was covered with frost and the usurpation of etiquette was beyond the rules. For the royal family, it was the most unacceptable provocation. This crime was equivalent to deceiving the emperor and treason. Fang Zheng's few inciting provocations, if he really wanted to pursue it, Jiang Zhongcheng might be killed.

However, in front of all civil and military officials, the emperor naturally would not blame Yu Jiang Zhongcheng for this trivial matter. After snorting coldly, the emperor said, "Forget it, what do you have to report?"

After a brief panic, Jiang Zhongcheng had recovered his calmness. He raised his head and pointed at Fang Zheng and said, "I impeached Fang Zheng, the attendant of the Sanqi cavalry, framed loyal ministers, turned black and white, and lie in front of you."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes lazily when he heard this, and said, "I dare to ask Lord Jiang, why did I frame the loyal minister? Why did I lie?"

Jiang Zhongcheng sneered: "Shangshu Pan worked hard for the country for most of his life, and became ill. This is something that all civil and military officials are obvious to all the people in the world. Do the crimes you said have real evidence? Can someone prove it? The emperor is extremely wise, how could he be deceived by you, a villain?"

As he said that, Jiang Zhongcheng pointed to a long memorial unfolded in Fang Zheng's hand and said, "Prince, please see, this person counts Pan Shangshu's crimes in detail, one by one, and it is very serious, but he even took down the memorial in his hand, which is enough to prove that this person is empty-mouthed and maliciously framed. I hope the emperor will investigate clearly!"

The civil and military officials in the court were surprised and said in unison, "Hmm?" and looked into Fang Zheng's hands.

Fang Zheng looked down and said, Damn! He really took down the crimes. All the ten crimes were short. Fang Zheng took a few casual glances and remembered them. He took out the memorial in front of the ministers, just pretending to be serious. Unexpectedly, he took down the crime and gave Jiang Zhongcheng an excuse to attack him.

He closed the memorial in anger and stuffed it into his arms. Fang Zheng whispered his neck and said loudly, "...What if I take it down? I read and read it upside down. Isn't it okay? I memorized it in advance, can't it? I even came up with this matter, are you a problem?"

"Emperor! I will tell you that Fang Zheng has lost his etiquette before and insults the minister!"

"Damn! Is it over? Are you excited? Believe it or not, I will beat you?"

"Emperor! I will report to Fang Zheng again that he threatened the minister maliciously, intending to commit a crime!"

"Do you think you will sue? I will do it too! The emperor, Weichen sued Jiang Zhongcheng to tease the old woman on the street! The old woman is eighty years old, and he can actually do it. Weichen saw it with his own eyes, which is worse than beasts..."

"nonsense……"

“…………”

“…………”

A court dispute with each other was officially started under the shocked and stunned eyes of all civil and military officials in the court.
