"Pa!"
A crisp sound of a porcelain cup shattering could be heard.
"Emperor, do you understand what you are saying?”
The beaded curtain was lifted, and Consort Li Kang walked out. She looked straight into Zhu Youxiao's eyes and suppressed her anger.
The East Chamber dared to investigate her?
How dare the emperor?
No matter when, she, Consort Li Kang, was the adoptive mother of the Emperor!
"Zhen said, you should state your crimes!"
Zhu Youxiao's eyes were indifferent. This concubine of the previous dynasty didn't seem to understand the situation.
"BenGong is not guilty!"
Noble Consort Zheng walked into the main hall, her graceful and elegant appearance causing all the civil and military officials to bow their heads.
This was the divine sect's favorite concubine. Strictly speaking, she was Zhu Youxiao's imperial grandmother. Her youth was fleeting, but her authority was greater.
In the back palace, Zhang Yan was suppressed by this person until she could not raise her head.
"Your Majesty is the new emperor, yet you disobey the former emperor and Guangzong and force the two consorts. This is unfilial!”
As the Imperial Censor, Jia Jichun had watched the Emperor violate the ancestral system, purge the civil and military officials, and then coerce the concubines of the two dynasties. Finally, he could not help but stand up.
Almost everyone in the Inspectorate was from the Donglin Party, but Jia Jichun wasn't. He had no party and dared to speak bluntly. He was very much like an official!
Unfortunately, Jia Jichun was not Wei Zheng, and Zhu Youxiao was not Li Shimin. When facing Consort Li Kangfei and Noble Consort Zheng, there was only killing intent.
"Dear ministers, who thinks that I am an unfilial ruler? Please step forward!”
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the thin figure in the hall and suddenly laughed. Like a spring breeze, he resolved the stagnant atmosphere.
This time, Ye Xianggao, Fang Congzhe, and the cabinet secretary did not even exchange glances. They all said loudly,""Your Majesty is the ruler of the five virtues.”
The five virtues are benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith.
The king of the five virtues was the sage king!
"Censor Jia, I wonder if you understand the words of all the officials in the court?”Zhu Youxiao chuckled.
"How can you people who are well-read say such words?”
Jia Jichun was furious. He pointed at Ye Xianggao's nose and covered his heart."Lord Chief, how did the role model of the world's scholars become a bootlicker?”
"Censor Jia, I was just stating the truth, why are you so unforgiving?”
Ye Xianggao was known as the " Unique Prime Minister ". He valued power and reputation. Even Fang Congzhe did not dare to confront him.
But now, he was being pointed at and scolded by a small imperial inspector. He immediately mocked,"Besides, who among the civil and military officials here doesn't know about the past between the two consorts? Why is the censor acting crazy?”
"What happened in the past was all because of the Dong Lin Party's interference in the internal affairs. The country's defeat was all because of the Dong Lin Party!”
Sensing Zhu Youxiao's indifference and Ye Xianggao's killing intent, Jia Jichun simply shed all pretense of cordiality and openly put the factional struggle on the table.
"Censor Jia, watch your words!"
The leader was criticized, the party was criticized, and the cabinet scholar Han Fei stood up.
In the imperial court, there had been many factions that had been attacking each other for nearly a hundred years. Very few people had made things clear. Han Xiong had been an official for decades, but this was the first time he had met such an "honest" person.
For a moment, he was really a little flustered.
"Your Majesty, I, Jia Jichun, will die to remonstrate. The Donglin Party is a party that fights against dissidents. It is harmful to the country and not beneficial to the people. If it is not punished, our Ming Dynasty will be in danger!”
Jia Jichun grabbed the ground with his head, and the dull sound of the collision made the Zhe, Chu, and Qi party unable to bear it, and the Donglin party's eyes widened.
Death remonstrance!
It was different from Zhao Nanxing's fake remonstrance!
Jia Jichun's face was covered in blood. He wanted to stand up but could not stand steadily. He bowed unsteadily and said,"Your Majesty, the consorts of the two palaces are still the concubines of the two dynasties. If you kill them without knowing the reason and spread the news to the world through the court bulletin, if the people follow suit, then the thousands of years of propriety, righteousness, and shame of China will end in our hands!”
The words of vomiting blood were too shocking!
In the two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, there were countless people who said that they would die for remonstrance. Many of the old officials present had played such tricks, but Jia Jichun could be counted with ten fingers.
"Summon the Imperial Physician!"
The situation was out of control, and Zhu Youxiao was surprisingly not angry. Or rather, his anger was extinguished by blood!
"Thank you, Your Majesty, but there's no need to save this old minister!”
Jia Jichun shook his head fiercely, and blood splattered everywhere. He tried his best to wake himself up and said in a clear voice,"If the two consorts are guilty, this old minister will beg Your Majesty to pardon them with my death. If the two consorts are not guilty, this old minister will beg Your Majesty to punish himself with the court bulletin.
However, the Donglin Party is indeed the root of the disaster of the country. I beg Your Majesty to take away the position of Chief Assistant Ye Xianggao with my life to prevent future troubles!”
Zhu Youxiao was speechless!
Ye Xianggao was speechless!
The officials were speechless!
Only Noble Consort Zheng and Consort Li Kang were laughing maniacally in their hearts!
Jia Jichun was determined to die and did not hesitate to offend the Emperor and the Donglin Party. In the end, the ones who benefited were definitely the two concubines of the previous dynasty.
If Jia Jichun really died in the Imperial Palace today, as long as the two concubines of the previous dynasty did not rebel, they would definitely be able to enjoy their later years in peace!
This Jia Jichun was a good person!
"Wei Zhongxian!"
After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao decided to sort out the matter first.
"This servant is here!"
After handing over the East Chamber files to the Ministry of Justice, Wei Zhongxian hurried back. When he heard the Emperor's summons, his body trembled.
"Let's talk about Consort Li Kang's crimes first!"
"This servant will obey!"
Wei Zhongxian thought to himself," Sure enough." Then he stood up and said,""Consort Li Kang, when the previous Emperor was still the Crown Prince, Servant Li killed the Emperor's mother in the Crown Prince's Palace.
Then he slandered the late emperor and obtained the right to raise the emperor. The late emperor indulged in wine and sex and indulged in debauchery. Li Xuanshi took the opportunity to say that he wanted to add the title of imperial concubine, but the late emperor died after a month on the throne. This was destiny.
The officials must be aware of what happened after that. Consort Li Kang and Consort Zheng detained the Emperor in Qianqing Palace and instigated some old officials to seek a reward for them. Fortunately, the Cabinet Grand Scholar Liu Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs Zhou Jiamo, and the Military Department all argued for Yang Lian and the Censor Zuo Guangdou to refute the two's reward and save the Emperor by making them Consort Kang.
Now that the previous dynasty was in power behind the curtain, the harem was in chaos. It was all instructed by the consorts of the two dynasties. If Censor Jia wanted to, he could go to the East Hall to check. Whether it was true or not, he would know at a glance!”
As soon as he finished speaking, even a pin drop could be heard in the Imperial Palace!
Previously, the civil and military officials were entangled in the matter of the imperial concubines of the two dynasties detaining the emperor in the Palace of Heavenly Purity. However, they did not expect that it would also involve the murder of the emperor's mother.
"Censor Jia, are you still going to stop me from killing Consort Li Kang?”
Zhu Youxiao slammed the table and stood up, his anger soaring to the sky.
Instantly, Jia Jichun fainted!
