Chapter 13 Impeachment
Fengtian Hall is covered with glazed gold tiles, double eaves and heavy ridges, carved beams and painted buildings, and doors and windows carved with red lacquer and gold, shining brightly in the morning sun, and the golden glow splashes in the sky.

All civil and military officials in the hall are dressed in bright clothes, with birds and animals embroidered on the chest of their official uniforms.

Zhu Gaoxuan was in the morning court today, wearing a crimson royal royal dress, with a nine-slit leather bezel covered with black gauze, with nine multicolored jade beads on the front and back of each slit, and a winged crown on his head, with a golden hairpin on the crown, tied with Zhuying.Zhu Gaoxuan, who was already suave and suave, was even more noble in this gorgeous court dress.

Princes who do not have a vassal do not need to go to court, but today not only Zhu Gaoxuan is in court, but the King of Han is also in court.

"How long has the household department been stuck with my military department's paperwork? If you drag it on and let the soldiers go hungry, what is your household's intention!"

"Your Ministry of War's turnover this year is 20 taels more than the resolution made at the end of last year. If you don't explain clearly, how will you ask me to explain to the emperor!"

"I am open-minded. If your household department doesn't believe it, you can come to my military department to check the accounts. Why should I be afraid?"

"It's not like you didn't send someone to the Ministry of War, and you couldn't even enter the door. You call this magnanimous? Those who don't know think that your Ministry of War is a golden house, and you are probably lewd!"

"You spit out blood!"

"I'll spit a mouthful of old phlegm on your face before I talk!"

……

The Ming Dynasty had abundant martial virtues, and Emperor Yongle had a martial arts style, and his upward atmosphere was naturally a bit temperamental.

It’s okay to swear. Some ministers who have a bad temper will fight if they disagree with each other, and directly use their fists to decide the conclusion of the dispute. As long as no one is killed, everything is easy to say.

All in all, there is one sentence: don't bb if you can do it.

His Majesty the Emperor also thinks so, if you can't even win a fight, you still have the face to speak?
It's just that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is kind and often comes out to persuade them to fight.

This is also the case in the early court today. The Minister of the Ministry of Households and the Minister of the Ministry of War had a big quarrel for a long time. The two did not fight in the end, but just greeted each other's parents. This shows that the moral quality of the two ministers is still very high.

"All right!"

Zhu Di raised his hand and interrupted the two Shangshu adults, ending the "parental defense battle".

"This matter of the Ministry of War is not authentic. In this way, you should write another note and do the math to see where the extra 20 taels of silver came from, and then the Ministry of Households will send someone to check. Remember, this time Don’t make any mistakes.” Zhu Di glanced at the Secretary of the Ministry of War meaningfully, “20 taels of silver is not a small amount, if it is such a small number as 3 taels, the Ministry of Households will not care about it.” so many."

Minister of the Ministry of War thought about it for a while, and changed from 20 taels to 3 taels. This year, we have to tighten our belts to live. Even the Jiaofang Division can only go once a month.

Although he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, the Minister of the Ministry of War had no choice but to bow and say: "My minister takes orders."

……

Chaoshang calmed down, and just as Zhu Di was about to get up and leave, someone came out.

"Chen Jin, the censor of the minister and right, impeached the British Duke Zhang Fu!"

Chen Jin, the censor of the right capital, is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and is a senior official of the second rank.Since Chen Ying, the censor of Zuodu, was punished for his crimes in the ninth year of Yongle, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has not set up a censor of Zuodu in the past few years, and it is controlled by Chen Jin alone, with great power.

"Oh?" Zhu Di squinted his eyes when he heard this and said, "Why do you impeach the Duke of England?"

"The British general leader is out, acting recklessly. Governor Huang Zhong just because he disagreed with him, Zhang Fu killed him. He is extremely arrogant! How can he be a general if he does this?" Chen Jin said angrily, "The minister dies. The British public confiscated the generals and dukes of the country, escorted them back to Beijing, and made a decision!"

As soon as Chen Jin said this, more than ten people stood up.

"I'm admonishing you to death!"

"I'm admonishing you to death!"

"I'm admonishing you to death!"

"I'm admonishing you to death!"

……

The court hall was extremely quiet, only the remnants of remonstrance echoed.

Zhu Di sat calmly on the dragon chair without making a sound.

The corner of King Han's mouth raised slightly, and he looked at Zhu Gaoxuan.

Such a scene, even the emperor must carefully consider it.Zhang Fujie is self-conscious and unwilling to join the party struggle. At this time, the British government is isolated and helpless.

And Zhang Min, who was promoted to the right governor of the Chinese army's governor's mansion, looked calm, not because he had strategized, but because he had nothing to do.

When the general is outside, what he fears most is a fire in the backyard.

If no one resists the pressure for Zhang Fu, Zhu Di will order Zhang Fu to return to Beijing.

Once Zhang Fu returns to Beijing, the King of Han's goal will be achieved.

When Zhang Fu returned to Beijing, he was determined to send a general to take over the Cochin War and replace Zhang Fu. No matter how the emperor dealt with Zhang Fu in the end, the position of the British government's military leader would be lost.

Although the British Duke, who has no military power, still has some prestige, it is also [-]% abolished.

Fourth brother, how should you deal with it?
……

Zhu Gaoxuan stretched his waist and stood up: "Since when is the Metropolitan Procuratorate qualified to teach generals how to fight?"

Chen Jin glanced at him, without the slightest fear of the prince, and looked at Zhu Di uprightly: "The minister is just impeaching the British prince's style of work, the emperor has learned from it!"

"He's mother too!"

Zhu Gaoxuan said disdainfully, "In the first month of the ninth year of Yongle, the emperor ordered Zhang Fu, the Duke of England, and Mu Sheng, the Duke of Qian, to jointly attack. After the British Duke arrived, he declared the military order. The governor, Huang Zhong, has always been arrogant and disobeyed orders. The British Duke blamed him. Zhong was disrespectful, so he beheaded him to convince the crowd and rectified the military prestige. Since then, no one dared to disobey the military order. In July of the same year, the British Duke defeated the general Ruan Jingyi of the Chen army in Yuechangjiang, and captured more than [-] ships. Captured Marshal Deng Zongji and others alive, and also captured and killed several other enemy leaders."

Zhu Gaoxuan looked coldly at Chen Jin, the censor of the right capital: "You don't even understand the cause and effect, how dare you bark in the Golden Temple? Are you all a dog's den!"

"you!"

Chen Jin's chest was heavy, and he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Zhu Gaoxuan said to Zhu Di: "My minister impeached Chen Jin, the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, slandered the general, disturbed the morale of the army, and should be executed!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Chen Jin was anxious.

"Is this king talking nonsense that you have no idea?" Zhu Gaoxuan glanced at him, "Why don't we go to the Ministry of War to investigate the case now, and if what is written on the copy is the same as what this king said, you can borrow my head for use. how?"

Chen Jin choked for a moment, his words of impeaching Zhang Fu were all groundless, how could it stand up to scrutiny!
He looked at the King of Han for help, after all...it was the King of Han who asked him to say that.

The King of Han was about to speak, but was interrupted by another voice.

"Minister Lu Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, impeaches Chen Jin, the right capital censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, slanders the general, disturbs the morale of the army, and should be executed!" Someone stood up.

Lu Zhen, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, is a member of the East Palace.

The King of Han suddenly looked at the prince, and the chubby prince smiled and said nothing at this moment.

"Prince, I'm an idiot." King Han's mouth twitched slightly, he didn't speak, but cursed secretly in his heart.

He didn't expect that the crown prince would end up on Zhu Gaoxuan's side.

Originally, it was to slander Zhang Fu. Taking advantage of Zhang Fu's isolation and helplessness in the court, and he was fighting abroad, he wanted to take this opportunity to pull the British government down.

It would be fine if only King Qi was the guarantor for the British government. He has no power in the court and has little influence.

But if the crown prince also participated, then the matter would be over.

The king of Han thought that the prince would not intervene. After all, the prince did not want King Qi to stand up.

But reality gave Han Wang a slap in the face.
