Chapter 319 The Wrath of the Emperor

"His Majesty......"

Cai Qicheng was indeed stubborn. Not only did he not retreat into the ranks, but he became more courageous as he faced more setbacks.

Yi Qun's hand subconsciously reached towards his waist.

If you haven't touched the sword, you are not allowed to carry a sword in the palace.

He didn't want to draw his sword and chop off Cai Qicheng's head, causing blood to splatter on the spot, but it was a subconscious action for a martial artist to look for weapons when angry.

Only with weapons can they feel at ease and calm their anger.

Although they did not stay in Tongan County for a long time, the same question still applies to who are the Yulin Army.

The emperor's personal guard.

If you want to know what kind of person Lady Shen is and what the people of Tongan think of her, you don’t even have to ask.

The admiration and love in the hearts of the people cannot be faked.

I heard that they wanted to secretly build a shrine for Lord Shen, but were discovered and stopped by Lord Shen.

Let me ask, how could such an official, the parent of the people, falsify information and deceive the people for a few minor political achievements?

If Lord Shen really did this, it would be the most ridiculous thing in the world.

The emperor's anger was also brewing.

As a censor, he understands.

The reason they can gain a firm foothold in officialdom is that they criticize anyone they catch.

But today, he would never allow Shen Qing's reputation to be damaged.

To Shen Qing, the censor's doubts were like a layer of dirt.

The emperor lowered his eyes, his expression expressionless, and tapped the back of the chair with his fingers. The civil and military officials felt that the hall was suddenly filled with dark clouds.

The wrath of the emperor...

"His Majesty--"

Imperial Censor Zhang Zhongxing slid down on his knees and stepped out of the line.

He had gray hair on his temples, a thin body, and spoke sincerely.

"Your Majesty, Censor Cai fell down two days ago and unfortunately hit his head. Today he had a high fever and came to the palace, and he couldn't help but talk nonsense. I hope Your Majesty will show mercy!"

Zhang Zhongxing gave Cai Qicheng a medical diagnosis, seemingly to plead for Cai Qicheng, but in fact he was also thinking about the emperor.

Today is a happy day in Japan. Cai Qicheng has offended the emperor many times with his rude words, but the emperor still holds back his anger and gives him a chance.

But Cai Qicheng is a blockhead, oh no, a head of stone, and won't listen to anything.

Seeing that Your Majesty's patience has reached its limit, Cai Qicheng will be punished the next time he speaks.

But he could see that, in fact, His Majesty did not want to punish anyone today from the bottom of his heart - he was very happy to receive the reply from Lord Shen, and it was a good day and he did not want to add to the bad luck.

The emperor smiled and said, "Since your brain is damaged, why would you want to be the Chief Censor? How can you be competent for the job?"

He had long disliked Cai Qicheng! He was the most annoying person in the entire Censorate!

He impeached people again and again, and he was not good at reading people's expressions. Even if he held his head with both hands and pretended to have a headache, his mouth was still like a millstone, chattering on and on, which was extremely annoying, and he didn't care about his feelings as an emperor at all.

Today I found an opportunity, I want to punish him, but I don't want to bring shame to Shen Qing.

This made the emperor feel very embarrassed for a while.

Zhang Zhongxing broke out in a cold sweat when he heard this.

"Your Majesty - please be merciful and allow me to take Censor Cai to the Imperial Hospital to treat his brain."

Someone in the hall couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the Minister of Revenue Ji Benchang.

The blood clots on his face were dark black, and his smile made him look even more ridiculous.

It would have been fine if everyone didn't look at him, but once they saw him, they almost couldn't help laughing. They could only lower their heads silently, pinch their thighs, and think about the saddest things in their lives.

The emperor was furious. Laughing in front of him was like plucking hair from a tiger's butt.

They saw that Ji Benchang was so happy today that he was crazy and didn't care about status anymore.

But a few people don't think so.

Yue Zhenchuan avoided his gaze intentionally or unintentionally, and asked, "Why is Minister Ji laughing?"

Ji Benchang restrained his expression, bowed and stepped out.

"Your Majesty, I laugh at Censor Cai. He dares to criticize without knowing the whole story. His courage is commendable."

He glanced at Cai Qicheng, who was standing straight with his back straight, and said:

"The grain yield per mu is the responsibility of my Ministry of Revenue. I was too surprised just now and my mind has not recovered. But now think about it, I am the Minister of Revenue, and I did not question the yield per mu of Tongan County. Instead, it was Censor Cai, the Minister of the Censorate, who did the work for me. I do not have the courage of Censor Cai, so I am still laughing at my Ministry of Revenue, saying that there is no one available!"

Okay.

Ji Benchang spoke in a sarcastic tone, and every word he said was accusing Cai Qicheng of interfering in other people's affairs, which was really hurtful.

The emperor felt very relieved to hear this, and this time Cai Qicheng had offended the people from the Ministry of Revenue.

The officials began to whisper, "Didn't Lord Shen from the Ministry of Revenue go to Tong'an County with us? He doesn't have any doubts in his mind, so how can others question him..."

"That's true. If there was something wrong in Tong'an County, it would be strange if that person wasn't the first to send a message back."

Some people call Shen Xingjian "that person".

Even they themselves didn't know whether this was a compliment or an insult, because Shen Xingjian was completely incompatible with the officialdom.

He could not learn the twists and turns of officialdom, and everything was decided by his heart. Some people had received his kindness, while others had suffered misfortune from him, but they could neither be angry nor happy with him.

Many times, he was like an outsider, watching them fight openly and secretly with cold eyes.

The emperor laughed and asked Ji Benchang, "My dear Ji, how do you think I should deal with Censor Cai?"

My dear Ji?

Ji Benchang became excited when he heard the emperor's nickname and his eyes turned.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, if Censor Cai is really like what Lord Zhang said, and his high fever has damaged his brain, then he should go down and get treatment."

The emperor knew that he had more to come.

really--

"Although it is true that Censor Cai's words were rude and that he questioned the loyalty of his subjects, I believe that Censor Cai was concerned about our Ministry of Revenue, which is why he acted this way. Since Censor Cai has such a heart, Your Majesty, why don't you let Censor Cai make some contributions to our Ministry of Revenue, such as his salary this year..."

Yue Zhenchuan looked shocked.

One year!

He knew it, Ji Benchang! He was going to be skinned alive!

Cai Qicheng was so angry that he trembled when he heard this.

A salary deduction is not a big punishment, but it is embarrassing! And Ji Benchang said a lot of things when he opened and closed his mouth, maybe he was just thinking about his salary for this year!

It is well known to everyone in the court that the first people who should not be offended in the officialdom are the censors of the Censorate.

Who doesn't have some minor flaws in life? It may seem like nothing to others, but in the eyes of the censor, it is a heinous crime.

Take the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Shengshen, for example. He farted in the palace a few days ago and was reported to the emperor by the censors from the Censorate.

They said he had insulted the emperor's majesty...

But screw him, he couldn't help but let out a little breath...

Chen Shiing-Shen still feels aggrieved when he thinks about this incident, fortunately his elder brother helped him vent his anger.

But if you ask who is the second most difficult person to deal with in the court?

They must be a group of stingy people in the Ministry of Revenue.

It is no exaggeration to say that they are plucking feathers from passing geese. As long as they catch you by the braid and get the chance, they will not only make you get beaten but also make you "bleed".

All fines and salary were sent to his Ministry of Revenue.
