Chapter 27 He Finally Scolded All the Ministers, so Cool!

Morning court.

Officials, Xiao Yunzhou arrived half a cup of tea late.

Also late was Master Liu.

"Your Majesty, the morning court is about the affairs of the country and the rise and fall of the dynasty. How can you be late at will!"

Xiao Yunzhou had just finished tidying up his dragon robe and sat on the dragon chair when someone scolded him.

His face turned black on the spot.

People from the cabinet and the Censorate stood up to impeach Master Liu!

"Those who are late for the morning court shall be fined one month's salary for minor cases and 100 canes for serious cases!"

"I would like to report that Liu Wenchang is an imperial censor who supervises all officials, but he himself is not upright. He is late for the morning court. Please punish him severely!"

Liu Wenchang's face changed.

The granddaughter didn't say this.

Xiao Yunzhou took a deep breath.

Anyone with eyes will find that Liu Wenchang arrived at the same time as him, the emperor.

These guys are blaming others!

"Last night, I sent Liu Wenchang to do something. I allow him to be late once today."

Master Fucha, the head of the cabinet, stood in the front row of all the officials. At this moment, he folded his sleeves calmly and remained silent.

But behind him, an imperial censor jumped out, "The emperor was also late for the morning court today. Could it be that the emperor protected Liu Wenchang because of this? Or is it because Master Liu's daughter is the emperor's recent favorite concubine?"

"How outrageous!" Xiao Yunzhou was furious.

The first group of people who scolded him for being late were from the queen's family.

The second group of people who used words to stab him were from the imperial concubine's family.

Do they think that by beating and scolding Liu Wenchang in court, they will eliminate the possibility of the fifth prince being appointed as the crown prince?

Or are they going to trample on his face as an emperor first, so that when they bring up the matter of establishing a crown prince later, he, the emperor who is guilty of being late, will have no face to refute?

What a bunch of bastards!

Xiao Yunzhou snorted coldly, "Bring the man up!"

Except for Liu Wenchang and the Jinyiwei, all the other officials in the court looked confused.

But soon, several officials from the Censorate, including several officials who had previously petitioned to establish the crown prince, looked around and their faces looked a little bad.

"Where is Lord Zhou?"

"Why didn't the Right Censor attend the morning court today? Is he sick?"

"I played chess with him yesterday."

They all felt a little nervous.

Not long after, the sound of metal shackles colliding was heard in the court.

Bang, a man wearing heavy shackles and smelling stinky clothes was kicked in the back of the knee by the Jinyiwei and knelt down with his arms pressed down!

"The guilty ministers Zhou and Zhou Wuxin, see the emperor..."

"!!"

"!"

All the officials were shocked.

Especially the ministers who had been on good terms with Zhou Wuxin and had petitioned with him, were at a loss and surprised.

Emperor Xiao Yunzhou snorted, "What did you do? Tell me yourself!"

"I am not a human being."

"I tried to rape my grandson's wife while he was away on duty."

"!!!" All the officials froze in shock.

What?

What did he say he did?

"I also committed adultery with three common women..."

Crash.

All the officials dropped their tablets to the ground in shock.

They were all stunned.

Most of the officials here were high-ranking officials. They had been in court for many years and had heard officials quarreling and ministers insulting the emperor, but... this was the first time they heard a high-ranking official, the Imperial Censor, admitting that he had attacked his grandson's wife in front of all the civil and military officials in the court.

He also raped common women!

How old is Zhou Wuxin?

Almost sixty, right?

All the officials were so shocked that they forgot that the emperor was late.

"Hmph, why are I and Censor Liu late? It's to investigate the ugly evil deeds of this bastard!"

Xiao Yunzhou threw the memorial handed over by the eunuch in front of the officials!

"Dali Temple, Censorate, Cabinet, Ministry of Personnel... What are you all doing!"

"I'd rather expect you to do things than expect the sun to rise in the west!"

"I don't want to be late for the morning court, but if I don't go, this bastard will continue to do evil in a third-rank official uniform and endanger the people!"

"The elders, the Minister of Personnel, and the Censorate just told me to severely punish those who are late--"

Xiao Yunzhou slapped the dragon chair.

"You tell me, should I be late today!"

"Should Censor Liu, who is co-handling this matter, be late!"

"Ah? Speak up!"

Xiao Yunzhou spoke together, and the officials below were silent.

The people he named, the crown prince, the cabinet chief, the vassal officials of the imperial concubine and the queen, all knelt down in unison!

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

The emperor could see everything clearly from above, and these people looked terrified.

They dared not fart again.

Xiao Yunzhou was very happy.

Today he knew what the emperor's happiness was.

It turned out that sitting on the dragon throne, teaching these noble scholars with their eyes on the top of their heads, and scolding these ministers who were eager to take their positions and support the new emperor, was such a satisfying thing!

Xiao Yunzhou took the teacup handed over by the eunuch and drank a big sip with satisfaction.

Zhou's granddaughter-in-law was unwilling to tolerate this matter. She would rather give up her reputation and severely punish Zhou Wuxin.

It was exactly what he wanted.

Xiao Yunzhou immediately ordered, "Dali Temple, immediately detain Zhou Wuxin, investigate thoroughly within three days, and submit a memorial! Zhou Wuxin broke the law knowingly, and his crime is three times more severe. I will punish him severely!"

Zhou Wuxin fainted in an instant.

All the officials lowered their heads and dared not raise them again.

They didn't understand, how could Zhou Wuxin be caught by the emperor for doing something ugly in his own home?

Even the Dali Temple, the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice didn't get any wind.

Could it be that the emperor's Jinyiwei already had spies everywhere?

All the officials were nervous in an instant, and their backs were sweaty.

Xiao Yunzhou enjoyed their panic expressions with satisfaction.

He would not explain to them that this matter was not as complicated as they thought.

It was all because Concubine Liu reminded Liu Wenchang of her own situation in the palace.

Liu Wenchang was quite capable, and he immediately became concerned about several leading officials of the Censorate.

Who knew that after such observation, Liu Wenchang found that Zhou Wuxin was always on time every day, and his robes had a faint scent of powder.

Xiao Yunzhou recalled Liu Wenchang's answer to him, and was very satisfied.

"The position of Right Censor of the Censorate is vacant, and Ji Chengkang, the Censor-in-Chief, will take over temporarily."

"Liu Wenchang, temporarily take over the position of Censor-in-Chief."

Liu Wenchang shuddered as he stood.

Censor-in-Chief, the fourth rank!

Every step above the fifth rank is difficult.

Unexpectedly, he was promoted all of a sudden!

Just because he listened to his granddaughter's words!

Liu Wenchang swallowed his saliva.

Getting promoted, it turns out to be so easy!

"From now on, all officials shall conduct self-examination. If they make any mistakes, they shall report them to me in time. Otherwise, if I find out, I will punish them severely!"

"Nothing, then adjourn the court!"

Xiao Yunzhou cursed and stood up immediately.

All the officials below were silent.

Xiao Yunzhou was very happy.

The group of remonstrators headed by Zhou Wuxin, who forced him to establish a crown prince, finally quieted down!

Clean up your own ass first!

"Adjourn the court--" the eunuch announced loudly.

After a long time, until Xiao Yunzhou disappeared, all the officials slowly moved.

Everyone looked unhappy.

Xiao Yunzhou may not be the most wise emperor, but he has always been the best tempered.

Because he was established as the crown prince when he was young, many officials in the court, especially several in the cabinet, had taught him.

Xiao Yunzhou was taught from a young age that a wise monarch should not kill remonstrators.

So in front of him, all the officials were very brave.

But today, they were a little scared.

"The emperor seems... a little different."

"Hush."

Liu Wenchang walked at the back, and soon he was invited by the second-rank commander of the Censorate to have a drink.

He was flattered, but a eunuch rushed over.

"Master Liu, Master Liu, please stay!"

"You made merit last night, and the emperor has granted you permission to go to the harem to have lunch with Concubine Liu, the fifth prince, and the third princess."

The commander of the Censorate and the officials who had not yet walked far away suddenly had complicated eyes.

They looked at Liu Wenchang and dared not despise him anymore!

The Liu family is about to rise!

*

The master of the Liu family was very proud. After walking into Concubine Liu's yard, he was about to tell his daughter that he was wise and brave last night, and then he heard the cute voice of the little princess's grandmother again.

[Wow, grandpa is here~]

[You were so majestic yesterday~ You are such a good official~]

Liu Wenchang straightened his chest and his face was rosy.

Where, where?

It's all thanks to my little granddaughter's advice.

【But Grandfather, don't be too happy too early. 】

Liu Wenchang: "?"

【Success and failure are both due to Xiao He. The emperor father promoted you now because you slapped the face of the minister who asked for the title of crown prince. 】

【But grandpa, if my emperor father who died early still has a short life, he will die as usual in three years. Without a crown prince, the world will be in chaos. 】

Liu Wenchang: "!"

What, the emperor died so early? It's worse than this old man!

【Grandfather, for the stability of the country, the voices of ministers asking for the title of crown prince will never stop. The emperor father will only become more and more irritable. 】

Liu Wenchang frowned.

If the emperor has a short life, then he must quickly appoint a crown prince.

Otherwise, the court will be in chaos, what will the people do?

What about his daughters and grandchildren in the palace! ?

No, he also has to advise the emperor to appoint a crown prince! And he has to appoint a good one!

[Grandfather, when you later asked for the establishment of a crown prince, the emperor immediately became wary of you and demoted you! ]

Liu Wenchang: “…………”

[There is no way. You are the fifth prince’s maternal grandfather. Once you open your mouth, the emperor will think that our Liu family is going to support the fifth prince, and the emperor will also start to be wary of the Liu family! ]

Liu Wenchang frowned.

This is indeed difficult to handle.

But can we just ignore the stability of the country?

[But there is actually a very good way to let the emperor father appoint a prince again without getting angry or being afraid of our Liu family~]

Liu Wenchang pricked up his ears.

Liu Concubine was embroidering flowers, but her hands were also a little slow.
