Chapter 931: An audience with the Son of Heaven (seventh more)
Ye Chunqiu first heard the guard outside the Meridian Gate telling him to enter the palace quickly. He didn't care, but the words behind the guard made him frown slightly.
"Your Majesty has already said hello. If Ye Shi Xue met, you should not delay it at all. Otherwise, we will not be able to afford to be guilty."
Is there something like this?
Ye Chunqiu was inexplicably and suddenly felt suspicious.
This is really inevitable that people will feel suspicious, because in theory, even if His Majesty wants to see him, he doesn’t have to be so urgent?
Ye Chunqiu was confused and full of suspicion, but he did not dare to neglect, so he immediately went to the palace.
I heard that the court proposal was still going on, and the day was approaching. Fortunately, in this early spring season, the sun was warm and gave people a sense of comfort. Ye Chunqiu returned to the capital and felt relaxed. Thinking of the child in Jingchu's belly and seeing the emperor who turned against him last time, Ye Chunqiu walked briskly and hurried towards the Baohe Palace.
In Baohe Palace, Zhu Houzhao was wearing a crown robe, but she was furious.
I don’t know what happened these days, but more than a dozen censors wrote a letter to impeach Ye Chunqiu and take the initiative to make a contribution.
Taking credit is a great crime, let alone a Qingliu official? This seems a bit unacceptable. Qingliu is the example of officials of the Ming Dynasty and a model of morality. How can he take credit?
Zhu Houzhao never expected that this matter would be so big today, so he didn't care whether Ye Chunqiu took the blame or not. Zhu Houzhao is a very real person. In his world, there is no concept of good people or bad people. His method of distinguishing others is very simple. Is he my own person, or he is not my own person.
Simple, clear, and very straightforward.
Zhu Houzhao came to participate in the court meeting in person today. It was for this matter. It was definitely not a trivial matter for more than a dozen censors to impeach together. If they were not suppressed, things would only be worse. So he looked at the ministers in the palace with a cold face and said in anger with anger, "What are you trying to do? Why are you trying to do it? The rebellion happened and you were in a hurry to quell the rebellion. At this time, how many rebels are there? Who can count them? Ye Chunqiu said 100,000, so what's wrong with 100,000, so why don't you?
Can it be an imaginary number? Humph, then Li... Li is too white, there is also a poem, oh, it is called a flying flow down three thousand feet, and it is suspected that the Milky Way falls nine heavens. I come to ask you, is this person surnamed Li also a lie? Where can there be any waterfall that can flow down three thousand feet? Ye Chunqiu is also a poet, and his poem is very good, well... If life is just like the first meeting, isn't it? These poets all have such problems, but you are tempted by him, what are your intentions?"
These words made the whole family dumbfounded.
After a long time, a censor made a fuss and said in anger: "Your Majesty, writing poetry is writing poetry, and rewarding victory is rewarding victory. It cannot be generalized. Ye Shixue is a Hanlin. Will he be so confused about using poetry to repay his merits?"
"What's your name?" Zhu Houzhao stared at the man. He was annoyed. He tried his best to think of such an excuse. Someone came to sing the opposite tune and said with a frosty look on his face: "Which department is you from?"
The censor had no choice but to say: "My minister, Zhang Jie, is the Censorate..."
It's the Censorate again...
Zhu Houzhao's anger became a little more, and she couldn't help looking at Liu Jin beside her with a gloomy expression.
Today, Liu Jin accompanied Zhu Houzhao. He smiled and stood behind the imperial throne. When Liu Jin saw Zhu Houzhao looking at him, he was somewhat afraid of Zhu Houzhao's anger. But he just lowered his eyebrows and said nothing. Obviously, behind these censors was instructed by someone. Liu Jin sighed in his heart. Now, this is the only way to do so.
Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhang Jie coldly again, and furiously said, "I'll give up this matter like this, who would mention it again?"
"His Majesty……"
Zhu Houzhao could ignore a small censor, but Zhu Houzhao never expected the person who stood up.
This person is actually Liu Yu, the chief censor!
Liu Yu was the chief censor and was in charge of speech. As a second-rank high-ranking official, his status was not under the ordinary minister. He slowly came out and treated Zhu Houzhao, and then said respectfully: "Your Majesty is not allowed to mention any more things to do for merit. This is Your Majesty's protection for Ye Shixue. I... I agree with it deeply. After all, Ye Shixue has worked hard and made great contributions. Even if he has no merit, he still has hard work. Although there are flaws, it is not a concealment of the merits."
Finally someone has spoken.
Zhu Houzhao's face finally eased a little. He restrained his anger and cheered up, saying, "What Liu Aiqing said is very much, and I am deeply attracted by my heart."
At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was thinking in his heart, why haven't Ye Chunqiu returned to Beijing yet? This guy made me worry for nothing, and now I asked me to clean up the mess for him, but he still disappeared, which is really annoying.
But at this moment, Liu Yu continued with a smile: "But what the subjects are suing for is the Duke of Zhenguo who was previously prosecuted. Although Your Majesty has already announced that the world cannot be taken back. However, after all, Ye Shixue is still alive in the world, and Ye Shixue is not dead, he enjoys such honors and generous gifts. I think it is still too much. Moreover, although this prosecutor is a small flaw, it is not nice to say it out loud. Therefore, in my opinion, it might as well withdraw the previous prosecutor in the name of prosecutor. Ye Shixue worked hard and made great contributions, so naturally he should reward him. It is better to discuss this reward again."
After all, he is the chief censor, and his words are not offensive at all. At the same time, he also seems to be helping Zhu Houzhao with all kinds of worries.
It seems that this condition is reasonable. Before, it was a chasing seal, but now people are still alive, how can they still be chasing seal? Moreover, now there is a reason to take the blame and just take it back to life, so there seems to be nothing wrong with it.
Zhu Houzhao was a little hesitant at this time, because obviously many people agreed with this. The Duke of Zhenguo was once the title of His Majesty, but he was rewarded to others. Although this Duke of Zhenguo was a joke before, it is becoming more and more fun now.
"I'm going to discuss it."
"I also think it's so good."
…………
So, many people followed suit.
Liu Jin stood aside, but watched coldly, and a big rock in his heart gradually landed. He knew Zhu Houzhao's thoughts very well, and it was obvious that Zhu Houzhao had been shaken.
After all, he didn't want the trouble to continue. For Zhu Houzhao, this reward was not good, so he just wanted to find other things to reward.
But... at this moment, an eunuch hurried in and said, "Your Majesty, the Hanlin Academy Ye Chunqiu asked for a visit."
Ye Chunqiu asked for a meeting...
Zhu Houzhao's body shook, and then she was overjoyed and was happy.
