Chapter 35
The censor Li Boxian passed by the Meridian Gate by chance. He happened to see Xia Yingying dressed in a newlyweds dressed in a pretty dressed woman standing in front of the palace. He didn't even hesitate at all, and immediately rushed over like a hunting dog that smelled the smell.
Li Boxian is a very conscientious censor. He doesn't find a few people every month or write a few impeachment memorials, and he feels that he is dereliction of duty. This mentality and behavior is like the administrative departments of some later companies and units. He does not conduct boring activities such as assessments, meetings, visits, and study every year. At the end of the year, he can't even write a summary. He will feel that his political achievements over the past year are not good.
Yesterday, Censor Li happened to find something that could be impeached and is now about to hand over the book to the cabinet. As Censor, he has the power to write a letter directly without going through the Tongzhengsi Department.
Recently, there have been several heavy rainstorms in the capital. For wealthy families, this heavy rain has only increased some difficulties in travel, but it is a major disaster for the poor, because many poor people's humble residences collapsed due to torrential rain.
The winter in the north is very cold, and houses must be built with heavy roofs and walls, so it is easy to cause casualties and injuries once they collapse. As a result, some poor people were killed and injured due to this heavy rain. Many poor people were displaced and lived in difficulties.
After Emperor Wanli learned the news, he issued an order to ask the prefect of Shuntian to do his best to rescue the disaster, and to distribute relief according to the standards of each poor household with five dou of rice and five cents of silver. Each of the dead was one stone of rice and one tael of silver. Each of the injured was seven dou of rice and seven cents of silver.
Disaster relief has always been a good deal. Li Boxian found out that some minor officials of Shuntian Prefecture took the opportunity to do it and gained some benefits from it. Moreover, the secretary of the Fangsi, Baozheng, also worked hard, and could first choose and retain the old clothes and furniture donated by the gentry and relatives. Only then could they choose the remaining ones to the poor.
Li Boxian was very happy when he heard about this. He wrote a memorial book overnight, preparing to write a letter to impeach. As for which small official was corrupt and which department was fake for personal gain, he was not sure. In fact, he didn't know whether the matter he heard was true or not...
However, he didn't have to go to a private visit to find all the evidence. Since he heard about it, he could sue it. If he couldn't find the defendant, he would just sue Shuntian Mansion. Moreover, the prefect of Shuntian Mansion is more important than a small clerk, and the clerk of the Fangsi is the main position, so he feels more accomplished when he sues.
If the Censor Li’s report is just heard of, it doesn’t matter, it’s actually nothing. He is the Censor. The Censor can report the news, but if he makes a mistake, it is still considered his political achievement. The State has always been very indulgent and protected by the Censor system that supervises all officials.
"girl……"
Li Boxian called out, Xia Yingying turned around, her pretty face under the pearl curtain was like a flower. Because of the cover of the pearl curtain, it looked even more beautiful in the three-point hazy place, and the bright red shiny cape added a lot of color to Xia Yingying. Li Boxian couldn't help but be amazed at first sight.
At this time, Yingying was wearing a gorgeous and beautiful wedding dress. The wedding dress was embroidered with platinum threads, golden threads and pearls and stones to form patterns representing the auspicious dragon and phoenix. She wore a phoenix crown on her head, and a golden dragon was decorated with two pearls and phoenixes, making her look beautiful and unparalleled.
On the rosy pair of peacocks embroidered with clouds and golden tassels, the peacock with open-screen looks like she is about to come back to life, holding her pretty face, clear and bright eyes, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes, white and red skin, and her lips are as tender as rose petals.
The so-called Tianxiang national color is just like this. Xia Yingying was so beautiful. Li Boxian had seen her last time, but she recognized her at a glance: Isn’t this the woman who rushed to the palace to see her mother last time?
With the sensitivity of the censor's profession, Li Boxian immediately realized that there must be a story in it. A peer came a little while at the corner of his eyes. It was Liu Huanyi, the censor of Shandong Dao. When he saw that he was standing in front of Xia Yingying, he immediately stopped in annoyance.
Li Boxian smiled complacently and asked, "Why is the girl standing outside the palace gate dressed in a married mother? Can you tell me the official? If there is any grievance, I can make the decision for you!"
Xia Yingying looked at him and asked bluntly: "Is your official position a big one?"
"Uh?" Li Boxian was stunned by her question. He looked down at the green official robe on his body, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer.
Xia Yingying said, "I heard that the high-ranking officials in this dynasty all wore purple and red robes, and only the small officials wore green robes. If your official is too young, you can't care about my affairs. Don't ask, I'm blocking here, and there will always be high-ranking officials!"
Li Boxian was so amused and laughed, but Xia Yingying was so innocent and innocent, but she was not annoying at all. Li Boxian replied patiently: "Miss, you don't know anything. My official position is indeed not high, but only a seventh-rank official..."
Yingying was disappointed when she heard this, shook her head gently and said, "My husband is a sixth-rank official. He was framed by the emperor and was imprisoned. You are only seventh-rank, so you can't help me. I don't want to harm you, so you'd better leave quickly."
“What?”
Li Boxian's small eyes suddenly shot out two laser-like hot lights. He heard several keywords that made his adrenaline soar: "Sixth-rank official", "Emperor", "framed and imprisoned", and Censor Li was excitedly slapped.
"Girl! Girl, listen to me..."
Jingshi Li blushed: "Miss, you don't know that some things in the country are not something that can be managed by a high official, but they cannot be managed by a young official. On the contrary, some things that you are not a high official can't be managed by a low official. On the contrary, there are some things that you can't be managed by no means. Instead, only small officials with low rank have the right to manage!"
Xia Yingying looked at him in surprise and said, "Take it serious?"
Li Boxian straightened his chest and said seriously: "I am Li Boxian, the Censor of Shaanxi Dao, so he will not lie! Although I am only a seventh rank, even if I am a first-rank official, a royal relative, a hero, a meritorious official, if there are any illegal things, I can still manage it!"
Xia Yingying didn't capture the keyword she wanted to hear the most from his words, and couldn't help but ask nervously: "What if the emperor committed an illegal thing, can you also care?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
Li Boxian laughed at the sky, and almost blurted out his words: "The emperor made more than just his official positions. All the civil and military officials of the court, royal relatives, honorary officials and meritorious officials, fellow villagers, veterans, retired officials, and famous scholars, all the celebrities can control it!"
What is the emperor? The emperor is a special existence that stands in front of all the people in the world for everyone to find fault! It is the best *oss to win reputation! Moreover, this *oss in this dynasty is a bit thicker than the *oss in the Tang and Song dynasties, and its lethality is far worse.
However, Li Boxian didn't tell Xia Yingying about this. He could see that this girl was so innocent and unaware of the Ming Dynasty's official system. If she said this, maybe she would go to the Daguaner to complain again. Then how could he gain reputation? Oh no, is it perfectly fulfilling the duties of a censor?
Li Boxian smiled and replied seriously: "Of course I can take care of it! I am a censor and a censor. What I do is to pick up the faults of the emperor and all officials. If there is any injustice for the girl, just come and go!"
Xia Yingying said in confusion: "Picking?"
It’s not that she didn’t understand the meaning of the clerk, but she was not very clear about how powerful the clerk was. Can the emperor take it back and become a life. Li Boxian saw that her face was a little misunderstood. He thought that this girl was not very good at studying and did not understand the meaning of clerk, so he quickly explained in plain language: “Officials like this are just to find trouble for the emperor and all officials, and find awkward things!”

"I... like Miss Yingying very much, but Miss Yingying has been engaged to you. I hope you can quit the marriage. I can ensure that you have nothing to do if you kill the chieftains in all directions!"
Finally, Wanli bravely said his conditions. When he said these words, his face was burning, but when he said these words, his heart suddenly felt relaxed. It seemed that a mountain pressing on his shoulders had finally been moved away.
Ye Xiaotian looked directly at the emperor. He had seen the emperor more than once, and had never looked at him so arrogantly at such a distance. The person in front of him looked both strange and familiar, but he had less awe in Ye Xiaotian's eyes.
There are some things that he can be smooth and tolerant. There are some things that he can never give in as a man. Even if the other party is the emperor, since he will never give in, why should he bow his head?
Ye Xiaotian faced the emperor's gaze and said, "I refuse!"
Wanli's face suddenly turned red like chicken blood.
Ye Xiaotian said: "Your woman cannot betrayed. This is what I insist on in life! If I can't even do my duty as a human being, it will not be surprising that I can't be a good minister's duty, right? The emperor said?"
"Some people think that friends are like brothers and feet, and wives are like clothes; some people think that career prospects, fame and fortune are the duties that a man should pursue, and everything else can be given up, but that's not Ye Xiaotian, but that's just such a person!"
Emperor Wanli clenched his fists and pointed at Ye Xiaotian's nose angrily and said, "Don't forget, who gave you glory and wealth! If I hadn't given you the position of Chief Wo Niu's hereditary chief, would you be qualified to marry the Xia family?
As long as you give up on her, you can continue to have all this. You can give a beautiful woman, and your descendants can manage their land and people from generation to generation, like my descendants. Isn’t this worthy of giving up a woman?”
"I can ask for a beautiful woman, but Yingying only has this one! I can never find a second one in heaven and earth! I hand over a woman in exchange for generations of glory. In that case, the spiritual throne will be worshipped not glory but shame!"
Ye Xiaotian looked at Emperor Wanli and said in a deep voice: "The son of my son, Shi knew that he was my grandson, and my grandson. I knew that he was my great-grandson. I didn't know what to call him anymore. If I don't know him, he wouldn't remember me. I would sacrifice my own woman for someone who doesn't remember me, and I don't know who he is? That's a big joke!"
Emperor Wanli shouted sternly: "My patience is limited. I will only ask you one last question: Do you want a woman you are destined to lose, or your wealth and life! Do you want your wealth and glory?"
Ye Xiaotian's waist slowly stood up, and he held the iron shackles tightly with his hands. He stared at Zhu Yijun with an rude and bold look, and said word by word: "I only ask the emperor the last sentence: Does the emperor want a woman who is destined to not give his heart to you and be infamous forever, or do you want your iron bucket country?"
