Hearing Di Xin's nonchalant tone, Wen Zhong raised his eyebrows and said loudly,""I have been fighting hard outside for many years. Your Majesty, you have not been benevolent and have indulged in debauchery. You have killed those who remonstrated and killed those who were loyal, causing the world to be in turmoil and the people to suffer. If Your Majesty still doesn't realize his mistake, I'm afraid that Cheng Tang's 600-year-old foundation will be destroyed!”
"The Grand Preceptor's words are too exaggerated. I only killed a few disobedient ministers who disobeyed the king and slandered the king! Besides, I am a noble king, the ruler of the world. What's wrong with having fun?”Di Xin said unhappily.
"The civil and military are the limbs of the king. The limbs are smooth and the body is clean and strong. If the limbs are not smooth, the body will be damaged. The monarch treats the minister with courtesy, and the minister serves the monarch with loyalty. When the former king was alive, the barbarians in the four directions cupped their hands, and the people in all directions submitted to him. They enjoyed the prosperity of peace and happiness and received the blessing of consolidating the foundation of the emperor. Now that the king has ascended the throne, he is cruel and tyrannical. The princes have rebelled, the people are in chaos, and the army is resentful. I have worked hard to eliminate the evil party. Now Your Majesty has not practiced benevolent government and has been indulging in debauchery. For several years, you have not known that the court has changed greatly and the country has lost its system. The envoy toiled in the frontier every day, but also worried about the court. That's all I have to say. Please think about it!”Wen Zhong reprimanded sternly.
"Grand Preceptor, you!..." Di Xin was furious, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Lin Xu was dumbstruck as he watched from the side. This entrusted minister, anyone who held the whip was a bull, and the only minister who dared to berate Di Xin like this in the imperial court without being harmed was Wen Zhong.
Seeing how furious Di Xin was, Lin Xu quietly sent a message to Di Xin.
"Your Majesty, no matter what Grand Preceptor Wen says, Your Majesty will listen to him first. According to the East Chamber's intelligence, King Pingling of Eastern Sea had rebelled. At that time, the king can send Grand Preceptor Wen to attack!”
Di Xin looked at Lin Xu and saw him nod his head slightly. His face lit up with joy, but he quickly hid it.
Di Xin wanted to say something nice to fool Wen Zhong. At this moment, Fei Zhong suddenly jumped out and walked to the center of the hall beside Wen Zhong.
"Who is this minister?" Wen Zhong asked when he saw Fei Zhong.
"I am Fei Zhong!" Fei Zhong cupped his hands arrogantly.
When Wen Zhong heard about Fei Zhong, a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes. He asked in a deep voice,"You are Fei Zhong? What do you have to report?"
"Grand Preceptor, although you are a high official, the Great King is still a sovereign. The Grand Preceptor insulted the monarch in the palace, alarmist talk, bullying the monarch, wantonly in the palace, greatly losing the etiquette of courtiers, can be said to be disrespectful!”Fei Zhong accused Wen Zhong.
Lin Xu raised his eyebrows when he saw Fei Zhong coming out. Why couldn't this bastard see the situation clearly? He jumped out at this time and was just looking for trouble!
As expected, when Wen Zhong heard Fei Zhong's words, he was so angry that the third eye on his forehead opened. He shouted sternly,"It's because of you, a sycophantic minister, who deceived the Lord with your cunning words, corrupted the court, and angered this old man!”
A punch landed directly on Fei Zhong's face. Fei Zhong was sent flying a few meters away. His face was bruised and swollen as he cried out in pain.
Since Fei Zhong was beaten up, You Hun naturally wouldn't sit idly by. Relying on the presence of Lin Xu and Di Xin, he stepped forward and scolded,""The Grand Preceptor is truly bold. Beating a minister in the palace, you are not beating Fei Zhong, but the king's face! How disgraceful, not following the national etiquette!”
"And who are you?" Wen Zhong looked at You Hun with an unfriendly expression.
"This lowly official is Senior Physician You Hun!”You Hun replied.
"Good!" Wen Zhong laughed in anger. It turns out that you, the two thieves and ministers play power inside and outside, protect each other!”
After saying that, he slapped You Hun away with his palm and pressed him down on Fei Zhong. The two of them screamed on the ground.
Looking at Fei Zhong and his two sycophants, Wen Zhong shouted at the Brocade Guard standing in the hall,"Bring these two sycophants to the Meridian Gate and behead them!”
When the Brocade Guard heard this, they looked at Lin Xu. They only listened to Lin Xu's orders.
Seeing this, Lin Xu gave them a look, indicating that they should follow Wen Zhong's instructions!
The four Brocade Guards understood and came over to grab Fei Zhong. Just as they were about to drag him out, Di Xin shouted,"Wait! It wouldn't be too late to kill them three days later!”
Of course, Di Xin was unwilling to kill Fei Zhongyou and his two trusted aides. If he killed them, the court would be filled with people who would advise him and reason with him.
Hearing Di Xin's words, Wen Zhong cupped his hands and was about to say something when Di Xin waved his hand and interrupted him,""Fei Zhong and You Hun may have offended the Grand Preceptor, but their crimes do not warrant death. As for the other crimes, it wouldn't be too late to behead them after they were investigated! I will remember every word the Grand Preceptor said. I will work hard and live up to everyone's expectations!”
Wen Zhong saw that Emperor Xin had changed his words and was regretful, so he did not force him too much. After all, although he was loyal to the country, he should not go too far.
"This old minister has offended the emperor, please forgive me! I only hope that the four directions will be peaceful, the people will be peaceful, the princes will submit, and the world will be peaceful. I have no intention of offending the emperor's prestige!”Wen Zhong knelt down and cupped his hands.
"Grand Preceptor, please get up! I naturally know that the Grand Preceptor is loyal and devoted, working hard day and night for me, Cheng Tang!”Di Xin immediately responded when he saw Wen Zhong kneel.
Wen Zhong stood up, and Emperor Xin ordered the Embroidered Uniform Guards who were still holding Fei Zhong,""Put these two people in prison and interrogate them later!”
"Here!" The four Brocade Guards took Fei Zhongyou, who was shouting that he was wronged, away.
The Brocade Guard did not need Lin Xu's orders at this time. After all, Lin Xu had already instructed them to listen to Di Xin's orders unless it was something important!
After Fei Zhong and You Hun were escorted away. Di Xin looked at the minister and said,""All officials have memorials to leave the court. If there's nothing else, the court will be dismissed!”
All the officials were restless. After all, Emperor Xin hadn't gone to court for half a year, so he must have many things to report. At this moment, Lin Xu was the first to walk into the hall. Clearly, he had something to report!
(Flowers, rewards, tickets, custom-made!) All kinds of begging! (^???^)）
