Standing on the high platform, looking down at the ministers, Si Yiluo looked over and saw a young man wearing a blue civil service uniform standing up.
"The Imperial Supervisory Council stayed in Beijing to supervise the imperial censor Gu Xuejian, and impeached Si Yiluo, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, for killing his colleagues, acting arbitrarily, abusing lynching, shielding suspects, excluding dissidents, and killing ministers of the DPRK and China in the name of arresting the secret agents of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and collaborating with others
The eunuchs are responsible for the seven deadly sins of causing trouble to the imperial court!"
The last one even impeached Wei Heyan. Si Yiluo was tired of hearing these words. She actually admired this hero who dared to speak out for justice.
It didn't matter if he offended her, but how hard it was for him to offend Wei Heyan?
At the same time, I also find it funny that she has only been in office for a few days and she has already committed the seven deadly sins.
Wan Zhong, who was waiting at Emperor Yao's side, stepped down from the platform and took over the impeachment memorial from Gu Xuejian.
"If anyone else impeaches Si Yiluo, please submit the documents as well."
Someone started, and Wan Zhong quickly hugged a thick pile. Emperor Yao read two books and put them down, and ordered a few people.
"Ministry of Revenue, Henan Prefecture suffered heavy rains during the wheat flowering season. What is the extent of the disaster? Is there any specific data on how much grain production is expected to be reduced?"
"Ministry of Industry, there has been a lot of rain this year. Do the embankments in the Lianghe area need to be reinforced? Have specific regulations been drawn up?"
"Ministry of War, the war on the frontline is tense. How much of the canal dredging project has been completed? Can the grain and grass from the south be transported in time and in sufficient quantities?"
After asking three questions in succession, he was speechless.
Emperor Yao glanced around.
"Can the thirteen supervisory censors fulfill their duties? The censors of salt patrol, water patrol, agricultural patrol, customs patrol, river patrol, field patrol, and warehouse patrol all have their own books.
Play?"
Many people wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Shen Panxing glanced at Si Yiluo quietly and stood up to plead guilty.
"Your Majesty, I am in charge of the six departments. I failed to fulfill my duty of supervision. Please calm down, Your Majesty."
The minister below huffed and knelt on the ground.
"I am guilty!"
Emperor Yao suppressed his anger and said coldly: "If you can't do your job well, how dare you blame me for letting someone monitor you? What is the job of a minister? I don't need to say more about it, right? You keep an eye on me all day long.
, instead of focusing on the people around me, why not do two more practical things for the people!"
"Retreat!"
Emperor Yao waved his hands and left, and Wan Zhong led the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to come forward and put the other gifts of your lords into the basket.
Shen Panxing took the opportunity to stuff Wan Zhong with an jadeite handle and asked, "Eunuch Wan, why is the emperor in a bad mood?"
Emperor Yao had the ability to revitalize the country, but the imperial court had been suffering from long-standing shortcomings. Although he reused Jin Yiwei and Dongxi Factory, he had never been so angry.
Wan Zhong accepted the items, but did not say anything clearly. He only reminded in a low voice: "When King Zhan was assassinated, the emperor probably thought of the late Lord Protector and Concubine Jia..."
His Royal Highness King Zhan was in poor health and could not easily leave the palace. He finally went out of the city to offer incense, but was assassinated by Xiao Xiaoxing.
There are no fathers and sons in the Tian family, and Emperor Yao has nine princes. Even the third prince under the Empress of the Middle Palace is not favored much.
The emperor actually lost his temper because of the assassination of the seventh prince?
Shen Kanxing pondered secretly.
But no matter what the reason was, the emperor defended Si Yiluo in front of hundreds of officials, which undoubtedly built up momentum for her.
Her status will also rise with the tide.
A girl who is only a few days older than her own daughter has such an ability that she can actually get the emperor to protect her. Such a person is a good person to make friends with and not to offend.
Speaking of which, he has something to do with Si Yiluo and King Zhan...
In the Imperial Study Room, Wei Heyan put the compiled memorials into categories according to priority.
Emperor Yao ordered: "He Yan, you should go back early today. I'm tired. I won't go to court today and have a day of rest."
Wei Heyan said yes and went out to inform the adults waiting outside to disperse.
After he walked out of the imperial study, Emperor Yao said to Wan Zhong: "Are you wondering why I stood up to Si Yiluo today?"
Wan Zhong hurriedly replied: "I don't dare."
Emperor Yao relaxed his body and leaned back on the chair.
"If there is anything you don't dare to say, I want to tell you."
"Those ministers in the court, despite their high-sounding words, they all secretly hold back their thoughts. He Yan has held power for too long. Even if I ask Si Yiluo to share his power now, he will not
He can still ask my third-grade officers to wash vegetables and cook for him..."
To be precise, Wan Zhong was also under the control of Wei Heyan, but he was loyal to Emperor Yao.
But in front of Emperor Yao, others could speak ill of Wei Heyan, but he could not.
"Your Majesty, Governor Wei interrogated many prisoners during the years when he was in charge of the imperial prison. It is normal for him to have a weak appetite. Perhaps Mr. Si is good at his craftsmanship. Your Majesty can try it some other time..."
No one can be blamed for saying this.
Emperor Yao was aroused.
"Then take some time and let her try it?"
Si Yiluo came out of the palace, inspected the Jinyiwei Yamen, and then returned home.
She guessed the attitude of the ministers towards her and guessed that someone would impeach her, but she did not expect that Emperor Yao would actually speak out to defend her.
In fact, if you think about it differently, you can understand that Emperor Yao is not defending her, but defending Jin Yiwei and his own authority.
"Sir, you are back." As soon as she stepped through the door, the housekeeper came to greet her, "Sir, we have guests coming today."
Si Yiluo walked inside and asked, "Who?"
The distance from the main entrance to the living room was not far, and Si Yiluo could see Bi Tao looking outside the hall at a glance.
"Someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion came here to thank you for rescuing Miss Shen twice, and to invite you to come over and have a banquet."
Bitao smiled at her, turned around and shouted inside: "Miss, Mr. Si is back."
Shen Moran came out. Today she was wearing a sky-blue gauze skirt, a green floral turban, and a set of light blue crystal beads for her hair.
The long tassels hang down from the side ears, making her even more playful and cute.
"I've met Mr. Si."
Shen Moran and Bi Tao faced her, Si Yiluo walked to the upper hand position and sat down with a faint smile on his lips.
"Why is Miss Shen free to come here today?"
There are also several boxes of gifts on the table.
"What does this mean?"
The servant made tea again and brought it to the table. Si Yiluo took a sip and put the teacup on the table.
Shen Moran said with a smile: "Master Si saved me twice. I should have come to thank you as soon as possible. I also caught up with you when I moved to a new house, so I just happened to send you a thank you gift and a congratulatory gift."
"There are two sets of regular clothes made by my mother, two sets of inner clothes made of peach, and a long sword that my mother gave me as a bride. It was the saber used by my grandfather."
"There is nothing too valuable, Sir Si, don't despise it."
The number of gift boxes on the table seems to be more than these.
Shen Moran changed the subject.
"There are also the rouge, gouache and gold and jade Ruyi ornaments prepared by Aunt Shen. My father would like to invite you to come over for the banquet at noon today and thank you personally."
As a good friend, Si Yiluo knew the situation of the Prime Minister's Mansion very well. If the mistress of the house was still alive, she would let her aunt take charge of the house. It was estimated that the Prime Minister's Mansion was the only one in the capital.
"Father asked me to bring the message to you. If I can't invite Mr. Si, my father should punish me for neglecting Mr. Si..."
Shen Moran looked at her pitifully, making people feel as if rejecting her was a cruel thing.
Si Yiluo suppressed goosebumps all over his body. He couldn't understand why Zhou Yu didn't like such a beauty back then, but he wanted to like Shen Mingshu!
No woman can stand her acting coquettishly.
"Okay." Si Yiluo responded, "But I have to take these gifts back. I don't need the rouge and gouache. The gold and jade are too precious and I can't afford them."
After she spoke, the housekeeper immediately arranged for people to bring the gifts she designated.
Shen Moran suppressed her smile, stood up and said, "It's getting late, sir, please move."
