"We are all busy. Let's just ask the Minister of Dali Temple to come up. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain anything to them until the afternoon. It's just a waste of time."
Jin Feng really has no interest in court struggles. Until now, except for Duke Qing and the two prime ministers, he doesn't know any other court officials.
Including the old guy who just argued with him, Jin Feng had no idea who he was.
I really am not in the mood to make excuses with them anymore.
In recent years, due to Chen Ji's weakness, the influence of the Dakang royal family has become weaker and weaker, and the powerful have become more and more arrogant.
When it comes to corruption, taking bribes, bullying men and women, and taking human life lightly, there is no shyness at all.
Many family members of powerful people were beaten to death in the street, and there were countless witnesses.
Later, there was even a gust of wind in the circle of the rich and powerful princes in the capital. In order to prove their family's power, they would randomly find someone to beat to death on the streets of the capital.
The more lively it is, the closer it is to the palace, the better, and the bigger the background of the people killed, the better, so as to prove the power of their family.
Later, a short-sighted and powerful young man beat to death a royal family member, and he was a blood relative of Chen Ji who had not been out of the fifth class. Chen Ji was furious and ordered Dali Temple to investigate the case strictly and kill the young man.
The trend has been suppressed.
In this environment, no powerful person has a clean bottom, and it couldn't be easier to collect evidence of their crimes.
The Ninth Princess drew up a list, and Qin Zhen and the people from the Secret Service collected enough evidence in just a few days and handed it over to the Minister of Dali Temple.
When Dali Si Qing first received the evidence, the cold sweat on his back made his clothes wet.
The evidence Qin Zhen gave him was too detailed, and every piece of evidence could be called a mountain of ironclad evidence.
The Minister of Dali Temple knew that once these evidences were released, the entire Dakang court would undergo a major reshuffle, and many super wealthy families that had stood for hundreds of years would collapse.
Doesn’t the minister who just argued with Jin Feng know the current situation?
Of course he knows.
But he had no choice but to unite and hope to form a group to put pressure on Chen Ji and fight against the Ninth Princess and Jin Feng.
When Chen Ji was a child, he studied with three old masters. Two of them highly praised the so-called "balancing technique" and believed that this was the most important core skill for emperors to govern the country.
Influenced by Old Master, Chen Ji has always done this.
He was very aware of the Dakang party struggle, and even deliberately condoned the peace-promoting faction and the war-promoting faction to compete with each other.
When one party is weak, Chen Ji will try to help the other party to prevent one party from becoming bigger.
In fact, the Ninth Princess and Jin Feng represented the main war faction to a certain extent. At this time, they had the upper hand. If it was normal, and the main war faction was timid, Chen Ji would help them.
But the situation now is different from the past.
The combat effectiveness displayed by the bodyguard was too strong, and Jin Feng's attitude in executing the powerful was too tough.
Now that the palace is almost in the hands of the bodyguards, Chen Ji is not a fool and naturally knows what choice to make.
What's more, the pie that Ninth Princess and Jin Feng drew for him was also too big and fragrant.
The Lord of ZTE, the Emperor of the Eternal World, both of them are what he dreams of.
He couldn't do it before, but now that Jin Feng's appearance has given him hope, he will naturally give his full support to Jin Feng and the Ninth Princess.
After listening to Jin Feng's words, he asked the eunuch Xuan Dali Temple Minister to come out.
The Minister of Dali Temple asked someone to come out with a stack of official documents and began to read out the charges against the powerful people.
The dignitaries whose names were read all had expressions of despair. In addition to cursing Jin Feng and Ninth Princess, they were also cursing Chen Ji.
In the feudal era, the emperor would also fight against corruption, but why did the more corrupt officials become more anti-corrupt?
This has to be said about the unspoken rules of officialdom in the feudal era.
The emperor would naturally be pleased when honest and honest officials appeared in the court, but most emperors preferred corrupt officials.
Not only because corrupt officials like to flatter and please the emperor, but also because they have leverage in the emperor's hands.
In the emperor's mind, the civil and military officials were just hunting dogs that helped him herd the people. Official corruption was the chain he used to tie the dogs, and it was also the testimonial submitted to the emperor by the courtiers.
With this chain, the emperor can deal with corrupt officials whenever he wants.
Such officials are also more likely to be trusted.
As for those upright and honest officials, if the emperor wanted to control them, he would have to find other reasons.
This is why the emperor likes corrupt officials.
This is also an unspoken rule in the feudal court, and almost all officials understand it.
It's just that some smart people know the rules and never do anything fatal. In this way, they can submit a petition to the emperor and gain the emperor's trust. If something happens in the future, they will at most be dismissed from office and go home without risking the lives of their entire family.
.
But human greed is endless, and many people thought so at first. They did maintain the bottom line at the beginning. However, later they were exposed to more and more temptations, and they gradually began to lose themselves and became more and more bold in doing things.
The Ninth Princess chose those corrupt officials who had lost themselves and committed heinous crimes to kill them this time.
These people are so greedy and guilty. Once they are killed, not only will the money they embezzle fill the national treasury, but they will also convey to the people the emperor's determination to fight corruption and make the people feel that the emperor is with them.
, conducive to uniting people's hearts.
The minister whose name was read was still lucky before, thinking that the emperor would not deal with so many important ministers at once.
But when the Minister of Dali Temple read out the evidence of their crimes, everyone understood Chen Ji's determination.
According to Dakang regulations, these criminal evidences were enough for them to confiscate their homes and exterminate their clans.
There were so many crimes that the Minister of Dali Temple recited them for more than an hour without finishing them.
Just when Jin Feng felt sleepy after listening to it, the Minister of Dali Temple finally finished reading.
The high eunuch Yin Que's high-pitched voice sounded: "By God's decree, the emperor decreed that Baron Qingshui Jin Feng had made great contributions in rescuing the enemy and resisting the Eastern Barbarians. He was specially granted the title of Marquis of Qingshui.
The Marquise of Qingshui, Guan Xiaorou, is a virtuous and virtuous woman who sets an example for a well-off woman and is specially given the title Princess Chuan'an."
Civil and military officials looked at me and I looked at you. Some were surprised, while others looked as if they were so.
Jin Feng has made such a great contribution this time under the eyes of the emperor and civil and military officials, so he will definitely be rewarded.
Accepting Guan Xiaorou as an adopted daughter was decided on the North City Wall, and no civil or military officials were surprised.
But most people didn't expect that Chen Ji would directly promote Jin Feng from baron to marquis.
This is no longer the category of exceptional promotion, this is simply a step to the top.
But considering Jin Feng's achievements this time and Jin Feng's strength, they can accept it.
However, after the eunuch recited these words, he did not stop, but continued: "The Marquis of Qingshui, Jin Feng, is knowledgeable, talented, noble in character, and upright. He is specially appointed as the Imperial Preceptor of Dakang and takes office immediately! The Inspectorate, the Ministry of Punishment, the Dali Temple, the Secret
The spy must fully cooperate with the national adviser to clean up the remnants of the prince and restore a healthy world..."
"what's the situation?"
This time not only the civil and military officials were surprised, but even the sleepy Jin Feng suddenly woke up.
Regarding the matter between the Marquis and Guan Xiaorou, the Ninth Princess had already given him a pass, but what the heck is the National Preceptor?
Who wants to serve as a national advisor to Dakang?
"Chen Wen'er, let's see how I deal with you when I get back!"
