Chapter 128: Queen Li Fengniang of the Southern Song Dynasty (6)
Qimingzhong
Ministers are arguing fiercely. Kuangsha Literature Network
The object of the quarrel was Qiaomu who was rushing over with a phoenix chasing, and the argument was about the problem of morality.
"The official family, the queen issued such an imperial edict, and even encouraged the harem women to perform gambling games. This was a violation of morality, which caused the harem to be a great mistake.
I hope the officials will severely punish the gambling and gaming atmosphere in the palace to prevent the evil wind from spreading and harming the world."
Although someone had said it just now, the Censor Zhongcheng stood up and repeated it. It was obviously not because he was afraid that the emperor above would not hear it, but because he forced the emperor to make a decision.
This kind of thing may not happen very easily in other dynasties, but in the Song Dynasty, when officials angrily scolded and advised, it was not uncommon for spitting on the emperor's face, and they would not be dragged down and beheaded, so it was normal.
"I hope the officials will punish you severely!"
As the Censor Central Committee lowered his head and advised him, a group of officials standing beside him, including many of the censors behind him, all spoke loudly.
In the court, there were only a few first-rank officials standing still without moving, not knowing what their attitude was.
"It's just a trivial matter, why do you need to do this?
Things in the harem, or even what concubines in the harem do, are just things in my backyard. I won’t bother you to help me. If you don’t have anything else, just leave the court. I’m tired of listening.”
Zhao was a little dissatisfied at this time.
Of course, it is not that he is dissatisfied with Qiao Mu. He is dissatisfied with these officials so much. He is forced by him and does not give him face. Once an emperor is in a dignified manner, it is almost useless to speak in this court. None of the officials below are afraid of him. Even the censors are holding their heads and wanting to be hit by him a few sticks, which is also a celebrity history.
In this case, how can you not be angry?
"The official family has no trivial matters. The so-called upward and downward effect is effective. The palace is popular with gambling and games. It is a big matter for this trend to spread to the world. I hope the official family should put the world first and do not cover up for favoritism!"
The Censor Central Chief continued to give advice.
It's really a matter of saying that you won't give up until you achieve your goal.
When Zhao was still thinking about what to say, Qiao Mu finally arrived here, pushed open the guard at the gate, rushed in directly, strode to the front, looked around, raised his finger and said:
"Who wants to impeach me?
If you are incompetent in governing the country, Anmin is incompetent in dealing with the Jin Dynasty, you will know that you are always staring at the harem of the official family and what you want to do? Is there someone you want to meet in the harem, or do you want to die if you don’t speak?
By the way, it's you.
I remember that in this court, you are the only one who makes up and listens to the wind and rain. You are the one who is even more broken than the goblin on the street."
Since Qiao Mu is going to cause trouble, he will naturally not be polite in words. Anyway, he just chooses mean words. As he said that, Qiao Mu has already set his sights on the Chief Censor who just spoke.
Of course, she doesn't know the Chief Censor, but she knows the official uniform. She knows very well that the Censor mainly cares about impeachment. She is now impeached, so who do not care about impeachment?
“You…you…
The official family, how could the queen trespass into the court? This move is actually contrary to the ancestor's rules..."
The Censor-in-Chief obviously had not yet realized Qiaomu's lethality, and still stubbornly wanted to scold Qiaomu, saying angrily and stuttering.
Qiao Mu didn't give him the chance to finish his words at all, and continued to speak very harshly:
"The officials should also pay a little attention to the selection of officials.
How can a stutter be the chief censor? Will you be blind, deaf, or mute in the future be able to become an official? Okay, now I am here. Let me tell me if there is any impeachment.
Who is dissatisfied with the imperial edict of this palace?"
"Sage, the so-called upward action and downward effect, you have made gambling games in the palace. In the past half month, it has become popular among life women. If it continues at this time, it may be very harmful if it continues."
Prime Minister Han couldn't stand it anymore, so he hurriedly stood up and talked about their impeachment content.
“Hahahahahahahahahahaha…
Mr. Han, are you going to laugh to death? You don’t check the gambling shops all over the streets, but you have time to take care of the little fun that I promised.
What's more, this palace only allows them to play games, but they don't allow them to gamble. When the palace people in the palace play games, they often post notes, and the worst is that they just knock on them. Why? You just allow you to play everywhere in brothels and restaurants. It's impossible for us women to have some fun at home?
One day, you will seal all the gambling shops in my territory. Then you will mention this matter to me with a shameless face. Otherwise, I will feel ashamed of your shamelessness. What does Mr. Han think?"
Since Qiao Mu dared to come, it was naturally impossible for him to be unprepared. This Song Dynasty gambling is legal, and there is even a special gambling shop, but now he is here to take care of some of the small games she promised. Isn’t it ridiculous?
Now, even Mr. Han couldn't help but shut up because it was difficult to answer. The major casinos involved too much and too many forces. Therefore, even if there are many casinos that involve murder cases, the court will not investigate them in depth. As long as there are reasons to tell the past, or if someone is punished by the crime.
So, how dare he say he checked it?
“Is there any problem?
No problem, I went back. I didn't have time to waste time with you here. I didn't have the ability to do practical things. I just knew how to fire verbally. I didn't look at which measures you took to bring wealth and which army to become stronger. Farmers can still get some food every year. You group of people in the court have no gains at all.
A waste of silver.
Forget it, there is nothing to say about you guys who talk about the war on paper. If you don’t have diligence and don’t divide your grains, what country can you cure?”
Qiao Mu vented, then mocked her for a while, and then patted her and left.
Only a group of angry officials were left behind, and at the same time, each of them looked like something. But no matter how angry these officials were, they would not dare to scold the queen in front of the emperor. In the end, they could only say one or two foolish women, not knowing the so-called words, no matter how many, even if they wanted to curse viciously, they would not dare to scold them directly.
Seeing the ministers in the court so angry, Zhao had no pity at this time, but instead wanted to laugh happily. If so many ministers were not here, he really wanted to laugh a few times.
Let these guys get angry with him, it should be.
