"The Emperor has decreed that Assistant Minister Li has the talent to govern the world and also the heart to love his country. At this time when the country is in danger, he should be of great use. Li Shilang was specially promoted to the position of Imperial Censor of the State, ranking second in the official position, and was given the imperial sword, which had the privilege of acting first and then reporting. Seeing this sword is like seeing the Son of Heaven. Respect this!"
After Qin Shuying finished reading the imperial edict.
The ministers were struck by lightning, and many of them were still in shock.
"Lord Li, please accept the edict."
Qin Shuying rolled up the imperial edict again and said to Li Jin Nian with a smile.
She had discussed this imperial edict with the empress yesterday.
Including the promotion of Li Jin Nian to the Imperial Censor, this was also suggested by Qin Shuying.
This was because the imperial sword had extraordinary significance. If there was no corresponding official position, it would be difficult to convince the public.
Therefore, Qin Shuying thought of this new official position.
As the name suggested, the country supervisor was responsible for supervising the entire Great Feng.
As for the censor, it was an official position that was specially used to supervise the officials of the imperial court.
When the Chinese netizens saw this scene, they were so excited that they almost set off firecrackers to celebrate.
"It's comfortable, it's really comfortable now.”
"The empress is quite sensible. She directly promoted Li Shen to Rank-2.”
"What's the big deal about being a Rank-2? This imperial sword is the real god! With this thing, even a first-grade official would be afraid when he saw God Li.”
"Hahaha, act first and report later.”
The netizens were in high spirits and were already waiting for Li Jin Nian to start killing.
But in reality, just as Li Jin Nian was about to step forward to receive the edict, a minister stood out to stop him.
"Your Majesty, you must not!"
The Minister of Justice, Guo Jiang, immediately knelt on the ground and said loudly,
"Li Jin Nian is definitely not a good person. If we give him the imperial sword, won't he be able to kill whoever he wants? At that time, even if he acted recklessly, all the civil and military officials in the court were afraid of the power in his hands. No one would dare to say anything. Wouldn't the entire court be in complete chaos?”
After Guo Jiang, dozens of officials stood up.
"Your Majesty, please retract your order!"
The left and right censors of the Imperial Censorate knelt on the ground and said sincerely,
"Ever since the founding of Dafeng, the ancestor emperor once said," The state set up three major governments, the Ministry of Central Affairs is in charge of political affairs, the Governor is in charge of military affairs, and the Censor is in charge of picketing. The discipline of the court is all related to this, and the responsibility of the Taiwan Inspector is especially clear and important.”
"Later on, the first emperor used Hu Qian's case to make a comprehensive adjustment to the official system of the country. Not long after the abolition of the Ministry of Central Affairs, the Imperial Censorate was also abolished and replaced by the Imperial Censorate.”
"For the past three hundred years, the Imperial Censorate has been supervising the officials and reorganizing the rules.”
"But now, His Majesty has promoted Li Jin Nian to the position of Imperial Censor and even bestowed him with the privilege of acting first and reporting later. I dare to say that this move will definitely cause chaos in the court. The ministers will all feel insecure and the entire country will fall into a quagmire!”
The people who were most against the empress's imperial edict were those who wanted to kill Li Jin Nian.
Next were the left and right censors of the Imperial Censorate.
The Imperial Censorate was the highest authority in Da Feng, and the censors had great power. Even the Minister of Justice had to be wary of them.
This was because the positions of these two people were equivalent to the heads of the Disciplinary Committee in the future.
The empress had directly given Li Jin Nian such great power, which meant that Li Jin Nian was directly above the Imperial Censorate.
The left and right censors naturally could not tolerate anyone riding on their heads.
The empress felt as if she had heard the funniest joke in the world when she heard what the two of them said.
How could they say that they had managed the court in an orderly manner?
Where was his face?
The officials were all stuffing their own pockets, causing the imperial court's treasury to be almost empty.
This is the effect of the two censors.
If it was possible, the empress even wanted to kill them with her sword.
She felt that there were so many corrupt officials.
The left and right censors of the Imperial Censorate would definitely bear the main responsibility.
Because it was because of their protection that all the civil and military officials in the court had become like this.
This was also the reason why the empress was determined to give Li Jin Nian such great power.
In troubled times, heavy punishment should be used.
Just like what Li Jin Nian did to her that night.
If they did not manage the Imperial Court, Dafeng would not be far from being destroyed.
"Do you two really think that you have managed the court in an orderly manner?”
the empress asked.
She was already very restrained.
This was because he did not want to be too straightforward, lest there was a bigger conflict.
“……”
The left and right censors of the Imperial Censorate looked at each other.
Faced with the empress's rhetorical question, he couldn't say anything.
She was indeed guilty and in the wrong.
"Your Majesty, I believe that we should only issue this imperial edict after investigating whether Assistant Minister Li is a traitor or not.”
At this time, Fan Jin stood up and said.
"If Assistant Minister Li is really a spy of the Xiongnu, wouldn't His Majesty bestow him with such great power and cause chaos in the country?”
……
Even though the netizens in Xia country hated Fan Jin.
However, he had to admit that this person's eloquence was quite brilliant. He had repeatedly changed the situation through his words.
"Fan Jin is really too scary. No wonder he could hide in the cabinet for decades without being discovered.”
"If it weren't for the appearance of Li Shen, Fan Jin wouldn't have revealed any traces until the fall of Dafeng. He was even written as a virtuous minister in history, and the people of later generations were kept in the dark.”
"It's really awesome. I'm willing to call Fan Jin the god of spies.”
"Although I hate Fan Jin, it's hard not to agree with this point of view.”
"Isn't that so? If it wasn't for Li Shen, who in this huge court would be Fan Jin's match?”
The netizens in Xia country discussed.
Wang Pingchang and Fan Jin had worked together for many years. They had almost copied each other for two days, but they did not find any problems with him.
From this point, one could see how shrewd Fan Jin was.
"Your Majesty, I think what Grand Scholar Fan said makes sense. It's better to put Assistant Minister Li in prison first. It won't be too late to issue this imperial edict after we investigate his treason.”
Guo Jiang stood up and said.
Several other ministers also expressed the same view.
In fact, it was mainly Fan Jin's two sentences that enlightened them.
He would put Li Jin Nian in prison first and then think of a way to kill him in prison.
Wouldn't this imperial edict be invalid?
Although Guo Jiang and the others did not open their mouths to discuss, they were actually thinking about the same thing.
They all had the same idea.
"A bunch of bastards who talk about benevolence and righteousness, but are thieves and prostitutes in their hearts!”
Li Jin Nian snorted coldly and swept his cold gaze across Guo Jiang, Fan Jin, and the others.
They felt their hair stand on end.
"You keep calling me a Xiongnu spy. Do you really think I don't know what you're planning?”
"Didn't you just want to put me in prison first and then think of ways to make me die in prison?”
"Once I die, the imperial court will be ruled by you demons and monsters again!”
"Do you really think you are the smartest?”
"A bunch of stupid dogs!"
Li Jin Nian pointed at the nose of these court officials and scolded them.
"Li Jin Nian, you're too impudent!"
The other ministers were so scolded that they did not dare to look at Li Jin Nian in the eye. Only Fan Jin came out again.
"Do you really think that you can ride above all the civil and military officials? No one can control you?"
"This old man has seen many arrogant young people, but in the end, each of them died earlier than the last.”
"What? Do you want to kill me?"
"Then let's kill!"
Li Jin Nian's eyes met Fan Jin's, and the smell of gunpowder instantly filled the entire court.
"Why not?"
Fan Jin snorted coldly.
He said in a clear voice,
"Li Jin Nian, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, is arrogant and disregards the law. He wants to overthrow my country. According to the law, he should be killed!”
"Men, capture him and kill him on the spot!”
As soon as Fan Jin finished speaking, a group of armored imperial guards rushed into the throne room and surrounded Li Jin Nian in an instant.
No one had expected that the situation would suddenly reverse at this moment!
Looking at the scene in front of him.
The hearts of the Chinese netizens seemed to have stopped beating.
"Fan Jin, how dare he!"
The netizens 'gazes fell on Li Jin Nian, and they were extremely worried about his safety.
Although he was in danger, Li Jin Nian's expression did not change. He did not move a single step.
The next moment, he reached out his hand to Qin Shuying and shouted,
"Mr. Qin."
" Sword!!!"
