King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 177: He was impeached when he presided over the government for the first time.

The next day, morning.

The news about the Japanese envoy yesterday has spread throughout Yingtian Mansion.

The civil servants and generals with meritorious deeds stood on both sides honestly. Occasionally, someone would whisper to each other and glance at Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing in front of him.

And the Crown Prince, who had never been absent no matter what the circumstances before, actually claimed to be ill and could not go to court today.

It is precisely because of this that the atmosphere in the venue became extremely weird.

For a moment, I couldn't help but think about it. Compared with the curiosity of many people, there was also a small group of people who were looking at Zhu Gaoxu with strange and unkind eyes.

Ta-ta-ta.

Just at this moment, the sound of light footsteps came.

The originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet, and the expressions of all the courtiers became extremely solemn and solemn. They put away their original frivolous postures and were about to bow and salute.

However, when the sound of footsteps approached, everyone who was about to salute suddenly stopped.

A look of complete astonishment covered everyone's face, and they were all stunned on the spot, slightly dumbfounded.

The prince claimed to be ill and did not attend court, and the emperor also claimed to be ill and absent.

Everyone in the field came back to their senses instantly, and the expressions on their faces were extremely wonderful. Everyone had their brows furrowed, and all their eyes were focused on Zhu Gaoxu. Some were excited, some were sad, and some were angry.

However, everyone was aware of the situation and did not say anything more, nor did they make any mockery. At the same time, they were all guessing in their hearts what the emperor meant by this move.

Just when everyone was confused, the servant who came closer felt the doubtful eyes looking at her, and took a deep look at the Han King Zhu Gaoxu who was standing directly in front of the general.

Not to mention the courtiers were stunned by the sudden change, even Zhu Gaoxu was not much better.

"Transmit His Majesty's oral instructions."

Wait until it disappears.

The slave looked solemn. He simply sorted out his thoughts and said loudly:

"I occasionally felt cold yesterday and felt a little unwell."

There is no other reason.

Then, he took out the token given by Zhu Di from his arms and held it carefully in front of him.

"After that, the King of Han will collect all the memorials submitted to the court this morning. After the court, he will go to the imperial study to report to His Majesty alone."

Upon seeing this, the ministers who had been in a daze and confusion instantly came to their senses, their expressions instantly became extremely solemn, and they bowed.

After saying that, the slave ignored everyone's thoughts or objections, turned around and left in a hurry.

Yongle Emperor Zhu Di did not appear today, and those who came to the hall became Zhu Di's personal slaves.

Although I don’t know what the old man and the boss are up to.

After a while, Zhu Gaoxu came back from his daze. He felt the eyes of everyone on him, and he was caught off guard for what happened in front of him.

What exactly is this intended to do?

In other words, this family is up to something else.

"This morning court will be presided over by the King of Han Dynasty."

But that's it.

And with the old man's instructions, even if he was unwilling and had no experience, he had to bite the bullet.

"Everyone, I have heard everything His Majesty just said." "Tell me about it!"

"If you have anything to report to me this morning, please report it to me as soon as possible. If not, please retreat."

As soon as Zhu Gaoxu finished speaking, the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who had been standing at the back and stared at Zhu Gaoxu with a hostile gaze, jumped out instantly, bowed respectfully, and said:

"Report to the King of Han."

"Wei Chen has something to report."

Seeing the censor coming forward, Zhu Gaoxu could probably guess what he wanted to say based on what happened these days. Then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a trace of amusement, and waved his hand at him, saying:

"What's the matter?"

"Speak directly, I, the king, listen!"

After receiving a positive answer, the censor looked solemn and said in a deep voice:

"We heard that yesterday, the prince showed his power at the inn and captured the entire Japanese mission. He not only killed people himself, but also indulged the women of the people to kill, leaving only two of the dozens of Japanese missions. people."

"And these two people, with the prince's permission, were directly cut off by civilian girls. It is not without tragedy."

"Afterwards, this murderous civilian girl left in a swagger, and the remaining two people from the Japanese mission were imprisoned by the prince."

"May I ask, Your Majesty, why you did such an illegal thing?"

"You must know that this is a mission from a country, and there are even princes among them."

"The two countries are at war and the envoys have not been killed. Where will your Majesty's actions leave our great dynasty and the country of etiquette?"

"Once this matter spreads, how will the subordinate countries around the Ming Dynasty see our Ming Dynasty? Who else dares to come to our Ming Dynasty? How is this behavior different from the barbarians?"

This cannot be said to be unimportant.

It was almost like pointing at Zhu Gaoxu's nose and scolding him, saying that he did not understand etiquette and was discrediting the Ming Dynasty.

Hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu, who originally had a faint smile on his face, suddenly turned gloomy. He then lowered his head and slowly looked at the censor who was righteously criticizing him. His half-squinted eyes were full of coldness. , couldn't help but snorted coldly.

There are really people who are not afraid of death who dare to jump out and criticize him on this matter, and what they say is so conclusive that they are like the embodiment of justice.

Every sentence speaks of the great interests of the country, and every sentence stands on the moral high ground.

And it was all his fault. There was no mention of the ridiculous things done by the Japanese envoys, the girl who was molested, the old man who died under the sword of the Japanese, and the insulting incident of throwing away two taels of silver.

It was as if these things had never happened, or in other words, the death of the old man and the teasing of the young girl were simply indifferent to him, and he considered them to be nothing more than trivial matters.

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu laughed angrily, his half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and his voice suddenly rose in pitch:

“Impeach, interrogate, blast.”

"Good, good, good!"

"However, I am very curious. As a censor, shouldn't you be objective and realistic when you see problems and report them?"

"Why in my mouth, all I heard and saw were righteous criticisms, and I only saw what happened to the Japanese envoys, but why didn't I talk about the reasons that caused such a thing?"

"Or talk about their arrival in Ming Dynasty, and what exactly did these people do yesterday?"

"Are you invisible or unwilling to mention it, or are you no different from the Japanese people? In the eyes of you people, the people of Ming Dynasty are just a group of dispensable people who should be oppressed and harmed? "

"You shouldn't even have the dignity of a human being?"

"Can I humiliate and kill you at will?"
