Rebirth of the Demon Queen

Chapter 284 Embarrassment

Lin Zisu's scalp was numb when she heard Cao Shouli's voice.

She knew that her identity was special and she was afraid that she would cause any trouble to Bi Suinan.

In order to avoid suspicion, Lin Zisu and Bi Suinan left their home one after another and entered the Forbidden City early in the morning.

When she went out, she did not talk to Bi Suinan about going to the palace to attend the imperial lectures, but only said that she wanted to go to the palace to pay tribute to the emperor and the queen.

She could have imagined that the emperor would let Bi Suinan confront the cabinet, but she did not expect that the emperor would have directly let Bi Suinan come to the imperial lecture.

Not to mention that this sutra has always been a place for preaching the scriptures, there has never been a precedent for the government to be discussed here.

In front of the civil servants in the court, would these officials in the capital allow foreign officials like Bi Suinan to come to discuss politics in the court?

Moreover, the censors had just participated in Bi Suinan. Not to mention the cabinet, even the censors of the Censorate could make the court frustrated.

Lin Zisu looked at the emperor with an inquiring gaze, wondering what the emperor was thinking.

The emperor seemed to be fine, looking straight out of the hall with his eyes, as if waiting for Bi Suinan to appear.

Another young censor said without waiting for Bi Suinan to settle down and immediately said: "I heard that more than 3,000 people died in the flood in Qingyang Prefecture and more than 100,000 people were displaced. The prefect Bi was not in office and wasted his time in Beijing, so he felt guilty and had no face to face the elders of Jiangdong?"

With this name, even if Li Zhuwen was extremely unpleasant and was concerned about his reputation in the court, no one dared to touch him easily.

Especially those young Hanlin people highly praised Li Zhuwen and even gave Li Zhuwen the title of "Censor of the Year Cold".

Lin Zisu finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Fan Zhen standing up and talking for Bi Suinan.

Above the lecture, we also need to look at our identity, but the identity here is not about the grade, but the level of knowledge.

Even Qian Minzhong, the current chief minister of the cabinet, had to hold the student etiquette when he met Fan Zhen.

Although he had never participated, he knew the title of the lecture and had never heard of women who could participate in the lecture.

A censor with white hair and hair then stood up, bowed to the emperor, and said tremblingly: "The ancestor system of Taizu set the imperial examinations back then was to allow our lord to learn saints and to promote his spirits, to broaden his mind and stimulate his spirit. Today, it is a matter of vain for foreign ministers to fill in the numbers for no reason. Isn't it contrary to Taizu's expectations?"

Bi Suinan didn't expect to see this granddaughter here, so he was stunned for a moment.

But Li Zhuwen has always been a person who believes in the truth. After hearing Qian Minzhong's words, he stood up straight and said, "If you are young, you will discuss things in the future, how can you talk nonsense?"

Although Fan Zhen’s words are very influential, there are always exceptions in everything.

Qian Minzhong has been in charge of the center for these days, and has been very upset with this young censor. He heard that he dared to contradict Fan Zhen in public, and he was even more angry.

He had just given a tribute to the emperor, but hesitated for a moment, but still stood aside according to the etiquette.

"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate!"

The censors said one sentence from the left to the Taizu and the right to the regulation. The emperor couldn't help but feel angry and immediately slapped the table.

Li Zhuwen was reluctant to give up and still kept catching Bi Suinan's problem. Several Hanlin and the censors followed Li Zhuwen and waved their flags and shouted.

When the emperor saw the ministers quit, he relaxed his face and returned to the calmness of the past.

This sentence was sarcastic and sarcastic, without any mercy.

With such an identity, Fan Zhen was unwilling to be ahead of the ministers. What he said naturally works. Once this statement was made, even if the censors had thousands of words in their hearts, it would not be easy to argue with Fan Zhen anymore.

Suinan suddenly met his granddaughter here, and Bi Suinan didn't understand for a moment what the emperor had done about it.

Before Bi Suinan entered the hall, a censor in his forties stood up first and said loudly: "Taizu attached great importance to the lectures of the imperial court and recorded them into a book. The book once said that all descendants of Taizu should not be smart and have become a law of chaos. What Your Majesty guards is an allusion set by Taizu. According to previous regulations, there has never been a precedent for the prefect to participate in the imperial court. Your Majesty must not ignore it."

As a result, Qian Minzhong became even more angry, but he was concerned about his face and did not want to be as knowledgeable as Li Zhuwen in public. He hummed and stopped talking.

When the civil servants saw that the emperor had ignored the memorial of the censor just now, they were all ready to argue with the emperor what the ancestral system was.

As soon as the censor finished speaking, Bi Suinan followed another guard into Wenhua Hall.

Because of his righteousness, Li Zhuwen has a large number of fans in just a few months.

Fan Zhen, who did not want to stand at the head of the ministers, suddenly spoke, and said to a group of censors: "I do not agree with what this master said. I am not just analyzing the classics and history, and talking about those empty principles. Taizu's original intention was to use the classics and history to lead to current affairs to correct incomplete areas in governance. Now that my treasury of the Great Yan State is empty, it has reached an imminent point. The sage said that there must be my teacher when three people walk. The prefect Bi has been an official abroad for many years, so I must have some experience. What's the harm in listening to it?"

But Li Zhuwen didn't have any glances and confronted Fan Zhen in public. Isn't this a brisk attack on him, the chief assistant?

Qian Minzhong scolded him, thinking that Li Zhuwen would retreat.

The young censor who had just spoken was still dissatisfied and said, "Mr. Fan's words are not unacceptable. This prefect Bi, who is an official, sat down and watched the disasters in the lower world, causing troubles to the king and father, and causing disasters to the lower world. What kind of truth can such a person say?"

"Li Zhuwen, you are too presumptuous!"

This young censor was named Li Zhuwen. He was originally an official in the local area. After being promoted to the Censor of the Censorate this year, he relied on his youth and spirit to report all kinds of matters in the capital.

Qian Minzhong has his own plans and always turns a blind eye to Li Zhuwen. The situation today is not ordinary. All the civil and military officials in the court know that Fan Zhen is the teacher of him, the chief assistant, and they are extremely polite.

Fan Zhen was one of the best scholars in Dayan. He taught in academies in Shannan and Jiangnan for more than ten years. More than 20 ministers in the court received his teachings.

His remark immediately attracted the whispers of several young Hanlins.

Sometimes, the Censorate will encounter some tricky entries and push Li Zhuwen to the front.

With every step of the way, Bi Suinan was in a very embarrassing situation. He was concerned about the number of people on the other side and the emperor's attitude.

The emperor's silence and Bi Suinan's difficult response, Li Zhuwen consciously took the truth, and was even more unforgivable.

In fact, the emperor has been paying attention to the atmosphere in the hall, but has never spoken out.

Cao Shouli observed his expression and reminded him, "Your Majesty, if you continue like this, you will miss the time of the sutra. Should I stop you?"
