When the 'Wangye,''Daren,' and 'His Highness' saw His Majesty's decree, they all looked at Chu Xiao worriedly. He shouted.
"Alright, it's fine. This king will be back soon. Don't worry." Chu Xiao comforted his brother and said to the eunuch,""I'll go change my clothes." in the palace
"Chu Xiao, how dare you kill an official of the imperial court.”At this moment, Zhao Xu had already annoyed the officials in the imperial court.
The reason was very simple. Chu Xiao had sent so many people to kill a county magistrate, and now it was known by all the officials in the court. The military officials did not say anything and even praised Chu Xiao in their hearts. After all, he was avenging his brother who had risked his life.
However, the civil officials were agitated. Today, Chu Xiao dared to kill the county magistrate for a small soldier. Then tomorrow, even we can only act according to his wishes. This trend could not be allowed to continue. Therefore, they jointly wrote a petition requesting His Majesty to punish Chu Xiao severely and even wanted to remove Chu Xiao from the throne.
"Tell me, what's the situation?" Zhao Xu also knew that Chu Xiao was not the kind of person to mess around. After venting his anger, he sat down and asked.
"Your Majesty, I have no choice. That Xuanhua County Magistrate actually gave the pension that I gave to my subordinates to corrupt Mo. This is nothing. The most important thing was that he should never have tortured my subordinate to death.”The more Chu Xiao spoke, the angrier he became.
"Even so, this county magistrate doesn't deserve to die. You! How muddle-headed. All the civil officials in the court are targeting you now.”Zhao Xu looked at Chu Xiao and said in disappointment.
"Your Majesty, this humble subject feels that this humble subject has done the right thing.”Chu Xiao said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"You're still reasonable. Tell me about it then.”Zhao Xu was so angry that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I feel that after this matter, the Brocade Guard will be even more united. Previously, the interior was like a piece of loose sand. Moreover, Your Majesty, wasn't the Jinyiwei established to target civil and military officials?”Chu Xiao said righteously.
Zhao Xu also felt that Chu Xiao's words made sense. An Embroidered Uniform Guard that did not target all the officials in the court was not a good Embroidered Uniform Guard. Thinking of this, Zhao Xu decided how to deal with it. "Someone come," he shouted at the door.
"Your Majesty." A eunuch walked in.
" The King of Wu, Chu Xiao, has acted boldly and recklessly. He dared to kill an official of the Imperial Court. I will not let this matter go easily. However, considering that the King of Wu was young and could not distinguish right from wrong, he was specially fined a year's salary as a warning to others.”Zhao Xu's words were filled with killing intent at the beginning, which frightened the eunuch. Even Chu Xiao felt that he was doomed this time. However, Zhao Xu changed the topic. The board was raised high and then gently put down.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Xiao said gratefully.
"Alright, just don't cause trouble for me in the future. Go to the main hall in front to deliver the decree." Zhao Xu said angrily when he heard Chu Xiao's words. He turned around and ordered the eunuch.
"Yes, this servant will go now." The eunuch responded and turned to leave.
"Alright, it's fine. You can go back now." Zhao Xu said softly to Chu Xiao.
"Yes, I will take my leave." He exited the game. Chu Xiao actually did not expect this matter to pass so easily.
At this moment, Chinese in the main hall were gathered in twos and threes. Regardless of whether they were from the new party or the old party, they were all talking about wealth. They were talking about how to punish Chu Xiao.
Although Wang Anshi admired Chu Xiao before, he had some opinions about Chu Xiao now. Therefore, they did not stop the new party from jeering at the old party.
Chu Ling was the only one who was worried about his son. Although Chu Xiao acted rashly this time, Chu Ling still went to Wang Anshi to discuss countermeasures. However, Wang Anshi's actions broke Chu Ling's heart. From then on, Chu Ling had a grudge against Wang Anshi.
"His Majesty has decreed." When the eunuchs walked in, they saw that the civil officials were as noisy as a market. He walked directly to the high platform and said.
"We accept the decree." The officials knelt down to receive the decree.
"Fengtian, Emperor Chengyun, issued an edict saying: This time, King Chu Xiao acted boldly and dared to kill an official of the imperial court. I will not let this matter go easily. However, considering that the King of Wu was young and could not distinguish right from wrong, he was specially fined a year's salary as a warning to others. I'm honored." The eunuch opened the imperial edict and announced.
Halfway through, everyone was ecstatic. He felt that he would definitely be able to take down Chu Xiao this time. In fact, if they jointly wrote a letter, they would definitely be able to remove the Jinyiwei from the list. Bureaucrats were like this, pushing their luck. If a joint petition could give them a taste of sweetness. In the future, this would be the best way to deal with the Emperor.
Only Chu Ling was burning with anxiety. However, he didn't know what to do. Without support, he couldn't do anything.
But after hearing the second half, everyone was dumbfounded, including Chu Ling. However, Chu Ling immediately reacted. "I accept the decree."
The other officials looked as if they had eaten shit. One by one, they stood up and shouted loudly to vent the dissatisfaction in their hearts. As the saying went, the law did not punish the masses, so they became more and more bold.
