Princess, please respect yourself!

Chapter 424 Accidents one after another

"Is Xiaoyao Hou here?"

"Your Majesty, I am here." Luo Xing came out and bowed in salute.

"What do you have to say about the eight crimes Liu Yushitai impeached you for?" Emperor Yongxi sat on the throne and asked in a deep voice.

"Wei Chen has nothing to say."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the main hall. They expected that there would be a heated debate, but they did not expect that Luo Xing would not defend himself.

What is this operation?

Even Zhuo Chunfeng, the governor of Nanya, looked at Luo Xing in surprise, wondering why he didn't defend himself?

At this time, the censor Liu An said loudly: "Your Majesty, Xiaoyaohou himself has nothing to say. Please order your Majesty to severely punish Xiaoyaohou!"

Emperor Yongxi's face was ashen. Some of Luo Xing's crimes were his responsibility, with his tacit approval or authorization, and some were simply far-fetched. It was just the censor who liked to use sensational words to frame the charges.

Why should we target Luo Xing? It’s not because we want to punish him.

As long as Luo Xing is removed from his post or even imprisoned, then the Yangzhou governor and many other vacant positions will be vacant.

Everyone knew that Luo Xing was not dealing with the third prince's uncle. It was basically impossible for the third prince to bribe him. The eldest prince wanted to make contact, but Luo Xing simply refused to accept the offer. The only way was to get rid of him. Have the opportunity.

At this time, the two parties reached a tacit understanding.

Only then did Luo Xing be impeached in public at the great court meeting.

Of course Luo Xing understood the key here. The position of Yangzhou governor was being targeted, and he had never wanted to be the Yangzhou governor.

However, since we can stay away from the whirlpool of right and wrong and don't have to conflict with Zhuo Chunfeng, it's not bad to go to Yangzhou. The sky is high and the emperor is far away.

It also saves you so much trouble.

Emperor Yongxi knew that his two sons had reached a tacit agreement in private to get Luo Xing down, and then compete for the position of Yangzhou governor.

I'm not dead yet, so I'm so eager to usurp power?

As for Luo Xing, it is indeed difficult to defend. Could it be that he was asked to tell those secret things in public, such as the private exchange with the Tian family of Nan Chu? Rather than being dismissed immediately by the Nanchu court and causing conflicts for the Nanchu court, can this matter be discussed openly and openly?

As for giving and receiving privately, it was an expedient measure. If Luo Xing had not made a decisive decision in Yangzhou at that time, how could Yangzhou have quickly restored peace and achieved a smooth transition of order?

They just copied the court's laws and regulations without considering the situation at the time. How many of them could have Luo Xing's courage if it were someone else who did it?

Moreover, he said that he summoned Luo Xing back to Luojing to report on his duties, and he came back immediately. He was greedy for the position of Yangzhou governor at all, and even stayed in the capital and did not want to go back.

If he really loved power, he would have gone back long ago.

He has a lovely wife and a beautiful concubine, and can live freely without being an official. Otherwise, when he chooses a title, how can he choose the title Xiaoyao?

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to severely punish Xiaoyao Hou!" Several more censors knelt down!

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Xiaoyao Hou severely!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Xiaoyao Hou severely!"

"Your Majesty, please issue an order to punish Xiaoyao Hou severely!"

Figures knelt down one after another, all asking Emperor Yongxi to punish Luo Xing severely, but the parties concerned did not panic at all, they just stood there with their eyes and noses, nose and heart in mind. The old god was there, and he didn't know what he was thinking. What.

Emperor Yongxi's face became more and more ugly. He was clearly trying to force his way into the palace and was slapping him repeatedly. How dare these people do this?

Originally, he planned to announce some examiners for the imperial examination competition today at the court meeting. He has not announced yet. In fact, he wanted his two sons to be the chief and deputy examiners to give them a chance to practice. Unexpectedly, they wanted to The position of governor of Yangzhou actually united first to eliminate officials who had contributed to the court.

Although he is mean and ungrateful in some aspects, he is not confused. If he severely punishes Luo Xing today, I am afraid that no one will be willing to work for the court in the future.

Above the court, there are all these mediocre people. No wonder the Zhou Dynasty was in decline.

"Your Majesty, I would like to resign from the post of acting governor of Yangzhou and chief of Nanya. Please give me your permission," Luo Xing said.

If he doesn't respond, I'm afraid today's court will have a hard time ending.

He finally saw that he had few friends in the Great Zhou Dynasty, so naturally no one was willing to talk to him.

There was nothing he could do. In his position in Nanya, he was not allowed to make friends with courtiers, so naturally there was no one to speak for him.

This just proves that he has not formed a clique for personal gain at all. If he has formed a clique, why no one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty speaks for him.

Even Zhuo Chunfeng, the governor of Nanya, did not speak.

It doesn't matter whether he doesn't want to say it or has other ideas. Anyway, he is not interested in being an official or not.

"Accurate!" Emperor Yongxi knew that this was Luo Xing giving him a step up. If he didn't step down, something would happen to the great court meeting today.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Luo Xingyi cupped his hands and said, "Wei Chen, please retire!"

After speaking, Luo Xing flicked his sleeves and walked out of the Dazheng Hall in a swagger. The entire Dazheng Hall was silent.

"Your Majesty, how could Xiaoyao Hou's crime be just to resign and walk away..." Censor Liu An was about to speak, but suddenly a brick flew from nowhere and hit him on the head.

"It's endless. Do you really think this prince is easy to bully?" A voice sounded from above the main hall. It was clearly Luo Xing who had just walked away.

Censor Liu An was hit on the head so badly that his blood flowed. If he hadn't had some cultivation skills, he would have passed away at this moment.

"Your Majesty, I apologize for my indifference. I will go back and think about my faults behind closed doors!" A voice floated over, and then the entire Dazheng Palace became audibly quiet.

"This Xiaoyao Hou is too arrogant, too presumptuous..."

"Okay, you go find him, he is a first-class grandmaster!"

The guy who was filled with righteous indignation just now lost his temper in an instant. A first-grade grandmaster with old arms and legs would have to take off his arms and legs if he really wanted to go.

Xiaoyao Hou is actually a first-grade grandmaster!

This news spread throughout the entire Dazheng Palace in an instant.

When had the Great Zhou Dynasty ever had such a young first-grade grandmaster? This was extremely rare even in the Five Holy Lands.

He actually wanted to severely punish a first-grade grandmaster who was just in his early twenties, and his head was caught in the door. Such a young first-grade grandmaster basically did not fall, and he would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

This creates a problem with future extraordinary masters. It depends on whether you are afraid of it or not. If they don’t care about it, that’s fine. I’m just afraid that people will think about it. Hehe...

Some of the people who shouted the loudest just now were so frightened that they collapsed on the ground.

……

"Master Hou, Master Hou..."

"Brother Xi, what's wrong?" Luo Xing saw that it was Qixi who was chasing him, so he stopped and waited for him to come to him.

"Your Majesty wants you to go to the Nuang Pavilion of Changming Hall to rest for a while." Qixi said with a smile on her face.

"Row."

Emperor Yongxi wanted to see him after the meeting, which was expected. After all, he was the king of a country, and he could be regarded as a minister, so he couldn't deny him a little face.

So, he followed Qixi to Changming Hall. "Qixi, find a place for me. I'll squint for a while. I guess His Majesty's meeting won't be over for a while." Luo Xing said with a smile, "Just wake me up when Your Majesty goes to court. .”

"Okay." Qixi thought for a moment, nodded, and led Luo Xing to a room next to the Nuan Pavilion, which was the tea room. It was also a place where the maids and eunuchs took a rest when they were tired of serving.

After moving a chair, Luo Xing leaned against the door, crossed his feet, basked in the sun, and fell asleep in a daze.

……

In the Dazheng Hall, the DPRK will continue.

"Your Majesty, Marquis Xiaoyao has requested to resign as acting governor of Yangzhou. You have agreed. Should the vacancy of Yangzhou governor be filled?"

This couldn't wait any longer. Emperor Yongxi was already very unhappy, but he couldn't get angry on the spot.

"The Ministry of Education will first recommend a few candidate lists and let me consider them before making a decision!" Emperor Yongxi said directly, he would not confirm the candidates right away.

"I obey the order." Zhongshu ordered Lu Qian to bend down and receive the order.

"Your Majesty, the competition is coming soon, and the candidates for this year's scientific examination have not yet been selected. If the candidates are not decided yet, I'm afraid it will be too late." said the Minister of Rites.

"Does the Ministry of Rites recommend anyone?"

"My servant, Mr. Cai Jincai..."

Cai Jin is the eldest prince's uncle. A discerning person can tell at a glance that this is for the eldest prince's family to obtain the position of chief examiner of the imperial examination.

But Emperor Yongxi doesn't want his two sons to have a chance to interfere with this imperial examination. Aren't you trying your best to fight for it? I just won't give it to you.

"I have already chosen a candidate to be the examiner for this year's imperial examination. He is the Fifth Emperor's Uncle. He is excellent at calligraphy and painting, and is praised for his poetry. I can trust him as the examiner!" Emperor Yongxi said.

The fifth prince!

At this time, the supporters of the eldest prince and the third prince were stunned. Emperor Yongxi actually selected the fifth prince to be the examiner of the imperial examination.

Who dares to object to this? The fifth prince has not been involved in political affairs for many years, but he served as the examiner of the imperial examination many years ago. He is even more experienced and familiar with this aspect.

Moreover, most of the officials who served in the imperial examinations back then have become central forces in the court, and several ministers and ministers are considered his disciples.

The Fifth Prince serves as the examiner, who dares to object?

If the chief examiner can't win, there are still two deputy examiners. If he can't win again, it will be troublesome. The next competition will be three years later.

"The candidate for the deputy examiner is recommended by the Fifth Emperor's Uncle, and I will decide according to the circumstances." Emperor Yongxi cut the knot quickly in this matter, without giving the ministers a chance to react.

At this time, both groups of people were dumbfounded.

"Your Majesty, the Wolf Lord of Xirong will arrive in Luojing in the near future. The person who will come out of the city to greet the Wolf Lord has not yet been decided. Please ask for your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"

"The person to be the main greeter is naturally His Highness the First Prince. His Highness is His Majesty's eldest son. It should be regarded as the highest courtesy for the First Prince to go out of the city to greet him personally. Moreover, the Wolf Lord of Xirong is marrying me this time, Princess Liuli, and the First Prince is the First Princess Liuli. The princess’s elder brother, the elder brother personally welcomes his future brother-in-law, which is considered a great honor!”

"Although the eldest prince is noble, I feel that His Highness the Third Prince is more suitable. His Highness the Third Prince is known to be wise and proficient in etiquette..."

"The eldest prince is gentle and elegant, and he convinces others with his virtue!"

"The third prince is brave and has unparalleled wisdom..."

"The eldest prince..."

"Three princes..."

The ministers who supported the two princes made a lot of noise in the Dazheng Palace. They were basically evenly matched and evenly matched.

Everyone can see that the position of welcoming the Wolf Lord of Xirong is very important. Whoever can welcome the Wolf Lord of Xirong on behalf of the emperor will have a heavier weight in Emperor Yongxi's heart, and whoever can be closer to the position of prince.

"I also have someone to choose to host the guests, so there is no need to discuss it any further!" Emperor Yongxi suddenly waved his hand to stop the quarrel between the two parties.

"Your Majesty, who is it?"

"It's not like I only have two sons. Is the second prince Ye Chuan here?"

"My son is here!" A voice came from the corner, and a tall figure appeared in the Dazheng Hall.

Not the second prince Ye Chuan who has been studying martial arts abroad for many years and has never been in the capital!

Ye Chuan is back.

Why did it appear now, when there was no news at all before?

The second prince, Ye Chuan, studied under Jianmen and Master Chongxu. He was a first-rate martial arts prodigy and was known as the first person of Jianmen's generation.

As soon as Ye Chuan appeared, he showed the aura of a first-grade grandmaster. Although it was only fleeting, everyone felt it.

A super genius has appeared among the royal family. The second prince Ye Chuan is the most promising person of this generation.

It has been a long time since the children of the Zhou royal family were extraordinary. Now, finally, a genius who can be extraordinary has appeared.

As long as Ye Chuan can transcend the world and become an innate martial saint, he can at least protect the national destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty for hundreds of years.

"Chuan'er, would you like to go and greet the Wolf Lord of Xirong and his party on my behalf?"

"My son is willing!" Ye Chuan said loudly.

"Okay, I will confer the title of King Yan on the second prince, and he will go out of the city to greet the Wolf Lord of Xirong on my behalf. All matters will be subject to King Yan's decision." Emperor Yongxi announced in front of everyone.

The canonization of Ye Chuan as a prince showed that Ye Chuan basically had no chance of becoming the prince. The eldest prince and the third prince also breathed a sigh of relief.

Although Ye Chuan has no foundation in the imperial court, there is a first-grade sect Sword Sect behind him. If he has the support of Sword Sect, it is hard to say. Sword cultivators are some of the most powerful people in the world.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Ye Chuan knelt down to receive the order.

Among the five sons of Emperor Yongxi, I did not expect that the first one to be crowned king would be the second prince Ye Chuan. However, at a young age, he was crowned king with the power of a first-class grandmaster. He also took the position of the Lord to welcome the Wolf Lord of Xirong. He was indeed outstanding. Beyond everyone's expectations.

The Fifth Prince took charge of the examination, and the Prince of Yan personally welcomed him.

There were two upsets in today's imperial meeting. Except for Xiaoyao Hou being dismissed from office, it seemed that everything had deviated from the preset track.

Fortunately, there were no further problems with the next topic, and it went on smoothly and step by step.

The Great Court Meeting had only been open for two hours, and it was already noon. Then it was announced that it was over, and the ministers dispersed.

Those who go home go home, and those who go back to the Yamen go back to the Yamen.

The second prince, Ye Chuan, was left behind and returned to Changming Palace with Emperor Yongxi. Apparently, the father and son had something to talk about alone.

But they also forgot that there was another person waiting in Changming Hall.
