My wife is number one in the world

Chapter 110

The Great Dragon Emperor Li Zhenggao sat high on the dragon chair, looking majestically at the civil and military officials below: "My dear friends, besides the problem of the locust plague in Yanzhou, do you have any notes?"

The ministers of court, Chinese and military inspected each other, and Duan Wang Li Yang stepped out to stand in the atrium: "I report to Your Majesty, my brother has a book to play."

Li Zheng frowned, looking at his younger brother Duan Wang Li Yang: "Zun Zuo, what is Duan Wang doing?"

Duan Wang Li Yang took out a memorial from his sleeve: "Reporting to Your Majesty, a locust plague has occurred in Yanzhou. The locusts have passed through the border, and no grass can grow. Now the people of Yanzhou must be in dire straits. I implore your majesty to open a storehouse to relieve the disaster. Luo Lin, the governor of Yanzhou, has a responsibility." Shengen actually disregarded the safety of the people and concealed the news of the locust plague in Yanzhou, causing many people in the Dalong Dynasty to starve to death on the street. The minister thought that the governor of Yanzhou should be dismissed and investigated immediately to make an example. The details have been stated in the memorial, Your Majesty, please check."

Li Zheng signaled to the eunuch beside him: "Present it." The eunuch immediately walked down the dragon ladder to take the memorial from Li Yang and presented it to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, the memorial."

Li Zheng looked carefully at the memorial in his hand, the more he looked at it, the more he frowned, and then he looked at King Duan: "Ma Tailai, Minister of the Household Department, is in charge of disaster relief, and Yu Tonghao, a doctor of the Ministry of War, is the governor of Yanzhou?"

King Duan saluted: "Reporting to Your Majesty, my younger brother is only responsible for recommending, as for how to deal with my younger brother, I will not ask about it. Your Majesty has learned from you."

Li Zheng glanced at all the ministers who only know how to watch the nose, the nose, the nose and the heart, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised: "What do you think about what the king said? Luo Lin, the governor of Yanzhou, was dismissed on the spot to investigate, and the servant of the household department was in charge of disaster relief. Do you have any objections to Zhezi Zhezi, a doctor of the Ministry of War, who is the governor of Yanzhou?"

A middle-aged man wearing a purple official robe standing at the head of the left row stood up, holding a court wat, "I would like to report to Your Majesty, I have some objections, and I have something to play."

"Oh, what does the right minister want to play? Do it!"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, although Yanzhou is a lower prefecture in Shanxi Prefecture, our government stipulates that the governor of Xiazhou should occupy the third rank and the fourth rank. Luo Lin, the governor of Yanzhou, was a Jinshi in Weihe's 37th year when the first emperor reigned. He has a lot of qualifications. Moreover, he is a clean and honest official, and his official position is at the top of the fourth rank. The Taizu ordered that officials of the fourth rank and above must go through a joint trial of the third division. Only when the facts are found can they be convicted. Now what King Duan said is that it is not in line to directly dismiss Luo Inspector on the spot for investigation. The legal system. The minister advises that the governor of Yanzhou should be safely escorted back to Beijing, and will be dealt with after the three divisions have completed the evidence."

Li Zheng nodded: "Your Prime Minister's words are true. This is the rule set by the Taizu. Officials above the fourth rank must pass the joint trial of the three divisions before they can be convicted. What do you think?"

"Report to Your Majesty, minister Wei Yongyou played."

"Wei Aiqing also has a book to play? Quite play."

"Whether Luo Lin, the governor of Yanzhou, is guilty or not is difficult to determine for the time being. As the right minister said, he needs to go through the trial of the three divisions before he can be convicted. I have no objection, but in the memorial of King Duan, he recommended the servant of the household department to relieve the disaster, and Yu Tonghao, the doctor of the military department The governor of Yanzhou has objections, the appointment and removal of officials must be reviewed by the Ministry of Officials, not to mention the decision of a big official in a state, such an easy decision, just a memorandum can be concluded that this is irresponsible to the people of Yanzhou, please learn from your majesty."

"Report to Your Majesty, my minister Xia Gongming has a book to play."

"Doctor Royal Envoy, do you have a book to play?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister impeached Duan Wang Li Yang, disregarding the patriarchal law and ritual system, and bringing disaster to the court."

Duan Wang Li Yang's face was gloomy, and he stared fiercely at Xia Gongming, the imperial envoy who came out from the sidelines. to himself.

Li Zheng rolled his eyes: "Oh? Why did Xia Aiqing say that? King Duan is committed to disaster relief and solving my problems. How can he disregard patriarchal rituals and create chaos?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there is a statement in the Taizu order of our dynasty that the harem and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. When it comes to princes and county kings, except for the crown prince, Li's clan relatives have titles but no rights. If they exceed the control, they will be beheaded. Prince Duan is a prince. According to the etiquette If you interfere in the government, recommending officials is overstepping the system, and you should be executed for the crime. Please cut off the title of King Duan and take him to the prison. There will be evidence for the trial of the Zongfu, and he will be executed after autumn."

All the civil and military officials of the Manchu dynasty looked at Xia Gongming, the imperial historian standing in the middle, in shock. They did not expect him to say such a thing. It is not up to the emperor if the King Duan violated the system. , This completely cut off King Duan's retreat, Xia Gongming, you are really fair and clear.

King Duan was frightened and knelt on the ground directly: "Your Majesty, my brother is just here to solve your majesty's worries and problems, and there is no way to overstep the limit. The old thief Xia Gongming is framing my brother. I ask your majesty to make the decision."

Li Zheng looked distressed: "Xia Aiqing, Prince Duan is also kind, but it's an unintentional act, I think it's better to forget it."

"Your Majesty, the rule of law is the rule of law. As a royal envoy, this is my duty. Good intentions or unintentional actions are beyond the limits. Please carry out the order of Taizu, cut off the title of King Duan, and escort him to the prison."

The censors behind Xia Gongming looked at each other, and they should follow the boss, as the censor's duty is destined to be like this, they knelt down one after another: "Your Majesty, please execute the order, cut down the king, and go to prison."

Li Zheng felt dizzy for a while: "Xia Aiqing, I think so."

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the minister died to remonstrate, Emperor Li Zheng, have you forgotten the etiquette of the ancestors? It is unfilial to forget the ancestors after counting the codes, and it is unfaithful to not distinguish between rewards and punishments. Li Zheng, do you want to be a foolish emperor?" Xia Gongming is nearly 60 years old Old, with white beard and hair, he looked at the emperor sitting high on the dragon chair with sharp eyes.

Li Zheng's expression turned purple, and he looked at Doctor Yu Shi, one of the few old ministers left by the late emperor, in a mood, and wanted to point his nose at him and scold him, but he was afraid that he would scold him away inadvertently, after all five or six Ten's old, and seventy is rare in life. It's rare to have an admonishing official. Besides, Xia Gongming is indeed right in his position to seek his own government.

"Chen Xia Gongming asks His Majesty to cut down the prince and send him to prison."

Seeing the upright Xia Gongming and Li Zheng, he sighed: "Decree, King Duan ignored the ancestral etiquette and overstepped the rules of court affairs. From now on, he will be relegated to the county king, and he will not be allowed to go to court for a month. I respect this."

King Duan glanced fiercely at Xia Gongming, wishing he could kill the old man, but Li Zheng had already ordered and did not dare to refute: "Thank you, Lord Long En."

"Xia Aiqing, you are not joking, I have already made an order, you can't let me change it day and night."

Doctor Yushi kowtowed and stood up. Just because he is upright doesn’t mean he doesn’t understand etiquette. A king can’t change his orders overnight. The matter is a foregone conclusion.

Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the imperial envoy who had returned to his original place. If Xia Gongming continued to admonish him with death, it would really be a headache. The reason is to understand Dali, know how to advance and retreat, and a good minister is a good minister. If you are really single-minded, you will die many times.

Moreover, Li Zheng needs a veteran like Xia Gongming, who has profound qualifications and lives up to his name. Gongming, sometimes Xia Gongming is indeed a good sword.
