Feng Zhong had rushed in earlier because he had heard the huge commotion inside and was afraid that someone would harm Zhao Zheng.
When Feng Zhong came out, he was still shocked.
He was frightened by the army in the martial arts practice field.
Feng Zhong had never seen such an iron-blooded army before. At least, Feng Zhong was certain that there was no army in the Great Xia Dynasty that could stand shoulder to shoulder with the army just now!
Feng Zhong was quite confident in his own martial arts.
However…
If the opponent was this army, Feng Zhong could only flee.
Where did the Emperor get such an army? Why didn't they hear anything about it beforehand?
Looking at the number of people, there were probably tens of thousands of people and thousands of horses…
It was impossible for such a large group to enter and leave the Imperial Palace without any movement. Why did he not receive any news?
How strange!
Just as Feng Zhong was letting his imagination run wild, Zhao Zheng came out of the training field.
Feng Zhong immediately went up to him.
"Emperor!"
Feng Zhong subconsciously took a glance at the training field, but he was so shocked that he was stunned.
At this moment, the huge training field was empty. There was nothing.
What was going on?
Feng Zhong, the imperial court expert of his generation, was truly a little dumbfounded.
Tens of thousands of people.
Why did she just say no?
Could it be that he had seen wrongly?
"Big partner!"
Zhao Zheng's voice came over, causing Feng Zhong to come back to his senses.
"Emperor, what instructions do you have?”
Zhao Zheng said,"Big partner, that strong army just now was summoned by me through communication with the heavens. This matter must not be spread out, understand?"”
Feng Zhong felt a chill in his heart. He quickly knelt down and said,"Don't worry, Emperor. If a third person finds out, this old servant pleads to commit suicide!”
The
next day.
Zhao Zheng woke up early again and went to court.
There weren't as many people in the court today, but the atmosphere was very heavy.
There was an old minister who knelt outside the palace gate last night and was frozen to death!
This was something that had never happened since the founding of the Xia Dynasty. When many officials received the news, they were indignant. Some of them were hot-tempered and directly called Zhao Zheng a fatuous ruler!!
Many ministers had already decided to jointly submit a memorial today to denounce the incompetent ruler and tell him that they were not to be trifled with. Even the emperor had to maintain respect for his subjects!!
Compared to this matter, the addition of the Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Yu Qian, among the officials in court this morning was already unimportant…
"Long live our Emperor…"
When Zhao Zheng appeared, the voices of the officials cheering for long live were much weaker than usual. Clearly, they were accumulating resentment.
"Beloved ministers, rise!"
Zhao Zheng sat on the dragon throne, his dignified gaze sweeping across the officials below.
Of course, he could feel the atmosphere in the palace. He knew what was going to happen next, and the corners of his mouth curled up into a cold smile.
"If you have this, report early. If you don't, retreat!”
"
Your Majesty, I have a memorial!" A censor stepped forward immediately after Feng Zhong finished speaking.
"Oh!" "What's the matter?" Zhao Zheng asked lightly.”
"Your Majesty, I heard that Old Master Yang froze to death outside the palace gate last night?”
"There's such a thing?" Zhao Zheng asked in surprise.”
As the emperor, it was impossible for Zhao Zheng not to know that a minister had died in the palace.
Obviously, Zhao Zheng pretended to know.
The censor was stunned at first, probably because he didn't expect Zhao Zheng to be so thick-skinned. He obviously knew about it, but he still pretended not to know.
However, a person who could become an imperial censor must have a sharp tongue.
"Your Majesty!" The censor immediately began to cry."Old Man Yang has been conscientious and conscientious. He has served the country for many years. Even if he has no merit, he has worked hard. How can the Emperor punish him because of his words? Old Man Yang froze to death outside the palace gates. Old Man Yang is so innocent!”
Zhao Zheng's face darkened.
Without waiting for Zhao Zheng to speak, another imperial censor stepped forward.
"Reporting to Your Majesty. I believe that if Your Majesty had made an unintentional mistake, you should immediately release all the officials outside the palace gates and issue an edict to the world. Your Majesty, please do not forget the disaster of the previous dynasty, Xi Zong…" The
previous dynasty referred to a dynasty before the Great Xia Dynasty. Xi Zong was a tyrant of the previous dynasty who liked to kill officials indiscriminately. In the end, it caused the officials to go on strike and the entire dynasty almost collapsed.
This censor compared Zhao Zheng to Xizong and even wanted Zhao Zheng to issue an edict of his own sin. His heart was simply vicious.
Giving the order of self-blame meant that the emperor admitted that he was wrong.
If Zhao Zheng were to issue an edict of self-blame because of this matter, he could forget about controlling the imperial power in the future. He could not even speak loudly in front of his officials.
"You want me to issue an edict to punish myself?" Zhao Zheng stared at the censor and asked darkly.
The censor panicked when he was stared at by Zhao Zheng.
However, before he could speak, another official stood out.
"The emperor doesn't listen to our advice and instead uses words to threaten us. Is this what a wise ruler does?”
"That's right!" Another official came out."Emperor, the lessons of the previous dynasty are not far away. This official asks the emperor to reflect on himself. Don't disappoint the officials!”
These words were a complete threat!
Following that, more and more officials stood up and righteously demanded justice for Old Master Yang, who had frozen to death last night. They all blamed Zhao Zheng.
There was also a hot-tempered guy who said angrily,"If the monarch treats me as a grass, then I will treat the monarch as an enemy! The emperor is a fatuous monarch! You can't worship the ancestral temple!"
He actually directly said that Zhao Zheng was a fatuous ruler and was not worthy of being the emperor!
Looking at the 20 officials who were speaking righteously, Zhao Zheng suddenly laughed and asked,
"Does anyone still think that Yang Pu (the frozen minister) is innocent?" Is there anyone who still wants to blame me? Why don't you all step forward!"
No one answered.
The smarter ministers had already realized that something was wrong.
Zhao Zheng waited for a long time. Seeing that no one stood up, he sneered and said,"Alright, since no one is speaking, then zhen will speak!”
"Big partner!"
Feng Zhong immediately took out a memorial and handed it to Zhao Zheng respectfully.
On his way back, Feng Zhong glanced at the officials kneeling below him, his eyes filled with killing intent.
These dogs actually dared to call the Emperor a fatuous ruler. They simply deserved to die!!
Just you wait, the Emperor will not let you off!
The
two of them were stunned.
