Chapter 62 Missing Investigation

In the main hall, on both sides of the civil and military substations, there were hundreds of officials, and there was silence. It was so dead that it was as if the people inside were not people, but clay statues.

It wasn't until a long cry of the emperor's arrival sounded from outside the main hall that the dead silent hall came to life. Everyone knelt on the ground and shouted long live.

"Pingsheng!"

The emperor sat down on the high throne, glanced at the faces of the courtiers with cold eyes, and said calmly: "A few days ago, my teacher Zhenzhuo deliberately murdered the prince. Who are the two imperial teachers of Xuan Kingdom who want to prove their innocence?

?Old Emperor, I have invited you here, stand up and speak to your face.

I will judge it for you in court."

Master Zhou's forehead jumped. This is the emperor's teacher and the emperor's teacher from the two dynasties. What song is the emperor planning to sing?

Not to mention that the old imperial master was confused by this opening, even the court officials were also confused.

Only those few courtiers who had been attending the Zhou family's performance for days felt cold in their hearts. The hair on the backs of their necks stood up, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. It was only a few days in April, and it was not yet hot.

, but the sweating couldn’t stop.

"I was frightened and mistakenly believed people's words. I committed the crime of neglecting the investigation and asked the emperor to punish me." A censor stood up first and knelt down to apologize.

The emperor responded lightly, quite satisfied with Lin Yushi who took the initiative to stand up and plead guilty, "Well, who else? I remember that the person who spoke the most happily that day was not Lin Yushi. Why, I had to name him personally.

Are you willing to stand up?"

Plop! Plop!

Several people came out one after another and knelt in the center of the hall, shouting that the minister was guilty.

At this time, no one can understand it. Things are basically clear. They are asked to stand up and confront Master Zhou. This is to settle accounts. Naturally, they should hide when they can, and come out when they can't avoid it.

Please admit your fault.

"Guilty?" The emperor snorted coldly: "I see that a few days ago, you didn't have the clear and sound truth based on what was said. You were all confident and confident. Why, now you are guilty again? Let's talk about it.

What are their crimes?"

Master Zhou:...

This is because the second prince himself has plotted against himself, so the emperor asked the courtiers who caused the storm to clean themselves up and climb onto the guillotine to wait for death? The emperor, this rogue, is a bit clever at playing! Hmm!

, even for such a short-term guardian, it is true that the second prince is the emperor's biological son.

All the courtiers knelt on the ground, shaking like chaff, and secretly glanced at each other, but no one dared to speak.

"Do you want me to say it myself?" The emperor said, "Okay, then I will come and put an end to it myself."

"Censor Lin, the report to the court was found to be untrue, and I will be fined for one year. I will kneel down to the old emperor's master in front of the palace to accept the punishment." The emperor snorted coldly, considering that this old man dared to do it, and he was the first to do it.

He stood up and confessed, which really gave him an advantage.

Lin Censor praised the saintly virtues. After receiving the order, he turned around and walked to the old imperial master Zhou. He lifted his official robe and knelt down.

How could Master Zhou accept his kneeling ceremony when he was proclaimed a minister in the same palace? He hurriedly supported him, patted his arm and said: "The censor heard the news and came forward. This is his duty. It is inevitable to be misled.

Mr. Lin, there is no need to do this, as long as it is verified by multiple parties in the future, it will be fine."

Lin Yushi was grateful, he was worthy of being an imperial master of two dynasties, with such magnanimity, such magnanimity, such...

The corner of the emperor's mouth twitched. Is the old imperial teacher giving a class in the court hall, demonstrating the equal importance of kindness and power in public? He first scolded Yushi Lin for being like a dog, and then said that this was his duty. He also scolded him for being used by others.

, and pointed out his mistakes. After scolding people, he finally gained the full respect of Lin Yushi. No wonder the teacher was able to serve as the teacher of two emperors, just this sentence was enough for him to grind for a lifetime.

When the emperor entered the palace, he was no longer in the angry state of mind outside the royal study. Originally, he had no intention of actually killing the courtiers. If he really killed the courtiers who criticized the Zhou family, he would be harming the Zhou family.

Well, no matter how pure the Zhou family is and no matter how they are not involved in disputes, the civil and military affairs of the entire dynasty cannot tolerate a special existence that cannot be touched. It was just that the anger was overwhelming at the time, and the old imperial master forced him to play a trick on his head. But

This matter cannot be dragged on forever, it must be settled, and some people must be beaten hard.

Emperor Zhou followed the emperor all the way from outside the imperial study room. He figured it out. The emperor would not really kill the imperial censor who heard the news. As for the courtiers who stood up for the prince, it was hard to say. Even if the death penalty could be avoided, the holy emperor would not really kill him.

I'm afraid it will break my muscles and bones when I'm angry.

Now, after listening to the emperor's treatment of Lin Yushi, Master Zhou felt at ease. Since the emperor wanted to use the name of the Zhou family to act, as long as it was not excessive, then he would just let it go.

The emperor cannot vent his anger on the Zhou family. If he still stands up to cause trouble, he is ignorant of current affairs.

However, it is not completely impossible.

Immediately after the emperor waved his hand, Sun Li stood up from behind, holding a book and calling the names one by one. All the courtiers who danced happily these days were not left behind. The old imperial master Zhou looked down from beginning to end, until he reached the center of the hall.

There were so many people kneeling there that he even moved two steps to the side to make room for the officials who came out later to kneel.

"Don't say that I won't give you a chance. If anyone has anything to say, please come forward. Otherwise..." The emperor narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "Everyone will be severely punished."

After the courtiers secretly looked at each other for a while, someone stood up. The censor Xuelin, who had avoided the important and took the easy way out, admitted that he had failed to investigate and did not mention anything else. As a result, the emperor slapped him and listed all the pieces he had participated in these days.

It slapped him in the face.

"Mischa? Look at the excerpts you have written. If you still call it a mischa, then I and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty will become worthless waste! How many stray wild dogs are there in the East Street? Wild dogs

Where do you go to look for food on weekdays? You even found out clearly if He Shizi dropped half a bun on the road and was snatched by wild dogs. With such meticulous attention to detail, how can you dare to say that you failed to check?"

"I'm scared, I'm guilty, I'm..."

"Here, Chang Youxin will be dismissed from all his official posts and thrown out of the capital."

"Your Majesty, forgive me, I am a humble minister..."

Before Mr. Chang could finish speaking, he was carried out by the guards who poured into the palace. Although he shouted forgiveness, his face looked relieved. If he was just dismissed from his official post, his reputation would be lost.

If you are still there, you can still find a foreign position. When the emperor is relieved of his anger in the future, it is not impossible for His Highness the Second Prince to use his help and transfer him back to the capital.

I'm afraid he has to start from the bottom again. It's not too bad. He was originally a sixth-grade man, but he took the credit from others and was recommended by His Highness to take over a fourth-grade vacancy in the Ministry of Industry. Compared with being in the sixth grade

As an official, he prefers to hold a local position, not to mention the freedom, it is also convenient to make money, and it is convenient but not so eye-catching. The most important thing is to have real power in his hands.

Thinking of this, when he was stripped of his official robe and dragged outside, Chang Youxin didn't struggle at all, he just looked like he was accepting it.
