Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 423 Impeached

When I left home, I was one, and when I came back, I became two.

"Hong Ying, her name is Ye Zhenzhen. It was given by the Fifth Prince. Arrange a room for her to live in first." Luo Xing stretched out his hand to pull Ye Zhenzhen off the carriage and handed it directly to Hong Ying's hands.

It was as if this was not a person, but an item brought back at random.

"Hey, every time you go out, you bring back at least one woman. There is almost no room left in this house." Hongying said sourly.

"I'm jealous, it's too late." Luo Xing chuckled. He could tell that Hongying wasn't really angry, she was just reminding him.

You have to be more restrained in taking other women from your family. Isn’t the family enough to “bring trouble” to you?

Some people have recommended themselves for pillow seats, but they haven’t even been placed in line yet.

"It's time to move tomorrow, to Pingkangfang. The Marquis Mansion should also be renovated. This has been taking a lot of time."

"Well, you can move whenever you say, but our project hasn't been completed yet. If we want to move, we can only move to Courtyard No. 1. Can you make the decision?"

"Aunt Xue will be back soon, and the whole family will live there, which is good." Luo Xing chuckled, "In a few days, if His Majesty really wants me to go back to Yangzhou, we all have to come with me."

"Then I'll make arrangements?"

"Go."

"Master Marquis, Mr. Shen gave you the fields and house because he wanted to use you as a spearman. The fifth prince gave you the beauty. I'm afraid the purpose is not small." In the study, Hai Lanzhu was polishing ink. He lowered his head and said softly.

"What did you see at Duke Cheng's Mansion today?"

"That Mrs. Liu Zhimei Liu is a person with a lot of clever thoughts, but she doesn't have many evil thoughts towards the Marquis. As for Duke Cheng Guo, he is still a little wary of you. His cultivation level is not low. I I can't see through what he is thinking," Hai Lanzhu said.

"They are all old foxes. I am now a hot commodity, and everyone wants to take a bite." Luo Xing dried the secret letter written to Ning Yurou, folded it, and handed it to Hailanzhu, saying, "Send it right away. Yangzhou.”

"Yes, Lord Marquis."

……

A red shadow floated over, carrying a bowl of soup, and delivered it to Luo Xing's desk in person.

"Hong Ying, come to my room tonight. You and I haven't spoken to each other for a long time." Luo Xing said while drinking the soup made by Hong Ying himself.

Hongying Zhen lowered her head and her cheeks turned slightly red. It had indeed been a long time since she returned to Beijing from Luoxing.

……

"Ah Yue, your apprentice is coming to Luojing. When she comes, you won't have a chance!" Master Leng Yue was in the room.

Master Yun Ni advised.

"Yun Ni, I really can't do it. I'm different from you. I've been defiled by that beast from Jiang Daozong. How dare I have such extravagant demands?" Master Leng Yue still couldn't get over this hurdle in his heart.

"Ah Yue, I can tell you that once your apprentice comes, if she gets along with Xiao Qi, you will have no hope in this life." Master Yun Ni said, "Put aside the worldly prejudices, you have no request anyway. What does he give you?"

"Yun Ni, if your apprentice also falls in love with Xiao Qi, what will you do?"

"It depends on what she thinks. I'm the first to take the lead anyway. Is it possible that she should let me, the master, let her go? Even if I give in, then we have already become a fait accompli. Can't we just treat it as a thing of the past? exist?"

"Yun Ni, I really didn't expect that you would have such an idea."

"What's wrong with my thinking? Can't I, Yun Ni, fall in love with a man and enjoy the happiness of being a woman in my whole life?" Master Yun Ni said, "Besides, if it weren't for Xiao Qi, I might be even worse off than you. Being reduced to the plaything of this bastard Jiang Daozong will make my life worse than death."

"But I can't be as selfish as you."

"I don't mind how selfish you are, but you are still reluctant. You know, in your situation, once you re-cultivate San Gong, you will never be able to reach your current height in this life, let alone advance to extraordinary level. Right now, this is the only opportunity, if it were someone else, I wouldn’t care.”

"But, I really can't do it..."

Yun Ni sighed, it seemed like she couldn't do it without something hard, so she raised her hand and hit Leng Yue's neck directly.

"Yun Ni, you..."

After thinking for a moment, Yun Ni took out another medicine bottle from her arms, poured out a red pill, pinched Leng Yue's mouth, and put it in directly.

……

"Xiao Qi, Ah Yue leaves it to you." He slept until midnight when suddenly there was someone beside him. When Luo Xing opened his eyes, it was Master Leng Yue.

Master Leng Yue's cheeks were red, and his whole body exuded an unusual aura.

Hong Ying also woke up, and she was also confused. What was going on? Why did Master Leng Yue come into her and the Marquis' room?

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, I gave Ah Yue a pill..."

Done!

Luo Xing directly dragged Leng Yue into the Chilong space. Then he thought something was wrong and stretched out his hand to drag Hong Ying in as well.

Then, when Yun Ni, who was sitting on the roof about to watch a show, saw that there was no one in the house, he was so frightened that he stood up and ran away. Suddenly a hand appeared on the roof, and then a portal was revealed, and then the person was swallowed inside. .

He plots against himself one by one. Do you really think that this prince has a good temper?

……

Great court meeting.

All officials must get up very early, go to the Dazheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, and wait in line. Those who live far away have to get up before dawn.

Luo Xing's Marquis Mansion is in the east of the city, and the palace is in the north of the city. Although it is not the farthest, it is not very close either.

"Master Marquis, didn't you sleep well?" Hai Lanzhu is now Luo Xing's personal maid, but she usually dresses as a man and always travels with him.

The previous court was no exception. Many paperwork matters really needed to be handled by one person, and Hai Lanzhu was undoubtedly the most suitable.

"Don't mention it." Luo Xing waved his hand and closed his eyes to rest. He just wanted to lie down and take a nap. This night, he never closed his eyes.

Hai Lanzhu stopped talking and began to prepare things for Luo Xing to go to court.

This was Luo Xing's first big court meeting when he was granted the title of First-Class Xiaoyao Hou. It must be the center of attention, so naturally nothing could go wrong.

In fact, Luo Xing is not very tired physically. The problem is that he is mentally tired. If he continues like this, there will be a palace fight at home.

It seems that we need to find a time to hold a family meeting to confirm the authority of the head of the family and not allow these women to mess around.

If the back house is unstable, it will shake the earth.

It's time to set down a family rule. You don't need to have 180 rules, just 18 rules are enough.

"Master Marquis, the tea is ready." "Yes." Luo Xing opened his eyes, reached out to take the tea cup, took a sip of hot tea, and handed it back, "It's a big day today. I drank too much tea. It will be convenient to find no opportunity at that time.”

"Then when will you go to court?"

"I don't know, it depends on His Majesty's wishes..."

"Then do I want to prepare some snacks for you?"

"No, I'm not one of those weak people. It's okay to skip one or two meals." Luo Xing said without supporting his head with his elbow.

"As for lunch, will you go back home for lunch, or do you have other arrangements?"

"Nanya, if you go back late, you can go to Deyuelou to have something to eat..."

……

Civil and military officials from all over the dynasty, officials of the fourth rank and above, filed into the hall. You greeted everyone, and I exchanged greetings. Although the hall was not as noisy as a vegetable market, there were still whispers, and everyone had his own circle.

Luo Xing knew few people. Among the civil servants, he only had some contacts with Honglu Temple. Among the military attachés, he didn't have much contact with the noble disciples. Except for Ye Hongyi's branch, the royal family had some contacts, and only Nan was the one who had some contacts. The Yamen and Inspection Department are here.

There are levels between the Inspection Department and the Ministry of Punishment. The Inspection Department arrests people and sends them to Dali Temple for sentencing, which is approved by the Ministry of Punishment.

If there is a joint trial between three divisions, it would be these three divisions.

The Inspection Department is a bit like the procuratorate and the police stations combined into one. Dali Temple is the high court, and the Criminal Department is the combination of the legislative body and the Supreme Law.

In the end, when any system is formulated, it all reaches the same goal through different paths. The question lies in whose hands this power organ is in and who it serves. As for whether it is reasonable or not, it depends on the needs of the times.

Zhuo Chunfeng also used the imperial court to regain the east wind in the southeast and was named a first-class Anyang Marquis. This was considered to have achieved his original goal.

Nanya currently has two first-class marquises, a Prince Consort, and a third-class uncle. These are the current ones, not counting those who have retired and are now living at home.

As the saying goes, one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers.

One of Luo Xing and Zhuo Chunfeng must be eliminated from Nanya, and now it seems that the person who is eliminated is Luo Xing.

Because Luo Xing is very likely to officially take over as the governor of Yangzhou. This is a high-ranking official in the border areas. In particular, the position of governor of Yangzhou is extremely important. In the past, they were all highly qualified. The governor of Yangzhou is from the second rank, or has the title of censor of the capital. , or add a title of minister.

Anyway, it is a high-ranking position. Once the governor of Yangzhou returns to Beijing to serve, he will usually transition to the position of minister, and then become minister. If he is lucky, he will directly become the prime minister.

There are many such examples.

The governor of Yangzhou must be a close associate of the emperor, so the competition for this position was fierce. However, Emperor Yongxi seemed to have no intention of replacing him, so everything was done in private.

The civil servants naturally wanted to replace Luo Xing, the governor of Nanya, who was born in Yingquan. Even if he made great contributions to regaining the lost territory of the three southeastern states, they did not think that he was qualified to be the governor of Yangzhou. On the one side of governance and education, then It can't be done by killing people, it has to be done by civil servants.

Seeing that Luo Xing had not left Luojing, and Emperor Yongxi had not issued an order to urge him to leave, the civil servants were naturally angry. His Majesty did not let him go back. Did he have the idea of ​​​​changing the governor of Yangzhou, but there was no suitable one? Candidate?

Could this person be me?

The position of governor of Yangzhou, if you do well, will reach the sky in one step. Who doesn't want this position? Among the second-grade civil servants in the court, there is no one who doesn't covet this position.

Gain fame and fortune!

"Your Majesty has arrived, all ministers will come to court in the morning!" The eunuch in front of the imperial family flicked his whisker and shouted in a broken gong voice, causing the whole hall to buzz.

This great eunuch also has martial arts training, at least a second-grade martial arts master. Otherwise, how would he be qualified to stand in the position of leader of this great dynasty meeting.

Surrounded by a group of eunuchs and maids, Emperor Yongxi, wearing a dragon robe, slowly walked into the hall, walked up the imperial steps, and sat on his noble dragon chair.

"Your Majesty will come to court early, and all the ministers will kneel down and worship!"

In the main hall, all the ministers who came to the court knelt down and saluted. This scene was really spectacular, especially the feeling between those sitting above and those kneeling below were completely different.

This is why that seat has so much magic power and can fascinate people endlessly. Some people would risk their lives to sit on it and give it a try.

"Everyone loves you!" Emperor Yongxi raised his hands in vain.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Large court meetings are generally pragmatic. If you want to talk about practical matters, you have to give a small-scale report. Therefore, the content is basically set long ago.

People like Luo Xing who have not received any requests will basically not speak at any meeting unless there is an emergency.

This situation is not uncommon, so every court meeting should not be taken lightly, especially the ministers in the front position.

In the past, his position could not even see the emperor's face clearly, but now it is different. He is standing among a group of nobles, and his position is very forward.

There are only a few people who hold the title of Duke. Those who are not in Beijing or cannot come due to illness have been removed. Among the princes, few are interested in government affairs, only the princes. Among the princes, the first four princes have He is qualified to go to court, but the second prince is studying abroad and the fourth prince is locked in the palace. Only the eldest prince and the third prince can go to court.

The eldest prince Luo Xing had met him a long time ago, and this was the first time for the third prince to meet him. As expected, he was very good-looking, much more handsome than the eldest prince. They all said that the son looked like his mother, and the Concubine Su who gave birth to him was indeed a beauty.

The duel began.

Basically, it was just a few words per person. After the emperor listened, some would ask one more question, and some would simply say "I got it" and dismiss them.

It's almost like going through the process.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Xiaoyao Hou Luo Xing!" Just when Luo Xing was about to doze off, a person suddenly shouted, waking him up from his slumber.

At this time, everyone in the main hall was stunned when they heard this sound.

Xiaoyao Hou Luo Xing is now in good health, and may be officially appointed as the governor of Yangzhou. You actually impeach him at this time. What is going on?

Emperor Yongxi's expression on the throne was not very good. He knew the person who was speaking was Liu An, the censor. The censor was probably the only official who could go to the dynasty without being restricted by the fourth-rank officials. They were responsible for supervision. Responsibility, that is, professional trolls, troll whoever they catch, and troll whoever they find distasteful. No matter whether they are right or wrong, they will only complain after they are trolled.

Anyway, they have the right to report things based on rumors, and if they say something wrong, they cannot be punished for their words.

"Liu Yushi, on what charges do you want to impeach Xiaoyao Hou?"

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Xiaoyao Hou for eight crimes!" Liu An said loudly as he walked out of the queue, knelt down and saluted.

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the hall.

"Quiet, no noise in the hall!" the eunuch in charge of order ordered.

"Liu Yushi, please tell me, what are the eight deadly sins committed by Xiaoyao Hou?" Emperor Yongxi's face had darkened.

"Your Majesty, the first crime is that public weapons are used for personal use...The second crime is that private transfers are given and received. The Yangzhou governor's official position is actually given to a woman. It is ridiculous and nondescript...The third crime is that the enemy country is secretly released...The crime is Fourth, being arrogant and extravagant, buying up properties in Yangzhou...The fifth crime is forming cliques for personal gain..."

Facing the eloquent censor Liu An, after Luo Xing listened, he felt that he had really committed these crimes. But then he thought about it, and he seemed to have an imperial edict to act cheaply. He did these things, and then they all It was reported to Emperor Yongxi for confirmation, but there are some things that the Emperor can acquiesce to, but cannot explicitly allow you to do.

Therefore, he has to take the blame.
