Chapter 97 Don’t do this for the first time in court
Today is Chang Xiao's first day in court, and Chang Sheng also came early. He has a lot of things to tell Chang Xiao, and he keeps nagging in Chang Xiao's ears.
Chang Xiao smiled and nodded, but didn't take it seriously at all. Chang Sheng was used to being cautious in this capital, and his behavior was of little value to Chang Xiao. The reason why he wanted to save some face for Chang Sheng was, It's all because this old boy really cares for him and doesn't have any bad intentions. Although he is nagging, it's not annoying.
If someone treats you well, you have to kick them away. Chang Xiao can't do such a thing. What's more, Chang Xiao really needs such a know-it-all in the capital.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chang Sheng did not do anything unreasonable when Chang Xiao was driven out of the palace and could be beheaded at any time. If anything happened to Chang Sheng during that time, Chang Xiao would be They cleaned up the house and kicked their family out of Chang's family. During that period of time, Chang Xiao was quite satisfied with Chang's victorious performance, so he had a little more respect for him.
Qianqing Palace!
This morning at court, pairs of ministers gathered together like flies around shit, talking about exactly the same thing and laughing all the time.
In fact, Chang Xiao has been at the center of discussions among the court officials since he was appointed as a member of the Imperial Guard. However, today the court officials are even more excited and angry when discussing!
In fact, the officials were happy to hear that Wang Changxu was beaten up by Chang Xiao. After all, a censor like Wang Changxu did nothing all day long. He just scolded this and that all day long. He scolded whoever was doing the work and whoever was not. If he scolds anyone for doing work, isn't this looking for a slap in the face?
I dare not say that half of the civil servants present, but at least 30%, have been impeached by him. Such people were beaten so severely that everyone applauded in unison and felt that it was not refreshing enough. They wished they could go up and slap Wang Changxu in the face with their shoe soles. .
However, they are happy to see Chang Xiao's return. However, the courtiers are equally wary of Chang Xiao's domineering behavior. After all, Chang Xiao's position is that of a member of the Imperial Guard. Needless to say, what does this position do? To put it bluntly, it is placed on the necks of the courtiers. With a knife, someone like Chang Xiao standing in this position is too much of a threat to them.
Chang Xiao can beat Yushi Wang today, and naturally he can beat Yushi Zhang tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, he might start beating the Minister of Civil Affairs, and he might hit me at some point. So compared to Wang Changxu, who is like a mad dog, everyone is more afraid of Tian. The evildoers who surrender often laugh.
The ministers basically reached a consensus in private that Chang Xiao must be killed today, or put in prison if he is not killed. On the one hand, they are afraid that Chang Xiao will become bigger and threaten them, and on the other hand, they want to tell Emperor Chongzhen that this You can't just use people if you want to. At least the appointment of Chang Xiao as a third-grade Tongzhi was made arbitrarily by Chongzhen and was not approved by the cabinet. Logically speaking, this does not count. Such a trend must not set a precedent. It must be The emperor must know that this world belongs to the civil servants, not his family and his surname.
Today's Changxiao is a knife in the hands of the officials, the knife used to stab Chongzhen. In the eyes of the officials, Chongzhen has been like a disobedient wild horse since he ascended the throne. Now it is time for the emperor to return to his position as emperor. Now. Learn your various hobbies. If you don’t want to be a carpenter, you can go to blacksmithing.
Chang laughs.
Wearing a third-grade official robe, wearing a black gauze on his head, he has handsome eyebrows, sharp cheeks, and a tall figure. He is three-quarters unruly, four-quarters frivolous, and one-third of self-confidence that comes from nowhere. He really has a majestic face and a talented person. Most of the people in the hall are old men, and those who are not old men are also those who are about to become old men. Only he is the most eye-catching with his constant smile, youthful energy, and domineering attitude.
Chang Xiao walked slowly into Qianqing Palace.
There was an immediate silence in the Qianqing Palace. Everyone looked at Chang Xiao. Chang Xiao's face was cold and full of contempt, and no one paid attention to him.
Chang Xiao went directly to the position closest to the emperor. Usually, the people standing in this position are the chief ministers of the cabinet. But now Qian Longxi is in a precarious situation and has stopped going to court for a long time. He is thinking about his mistakes at home, so he has always used this position. They were all empty. Chang Xiao walked to this position without any care. Those who didn't know thought Chang Xiao was the new chief minister of the Ming Dynasty!
All the officials were stunned. What do you mean? Is this a sign of youth and ignorance? Isn't this seeking death? This is the position that you can stand in! I, the minister, don't even dare to stand!
But no one said anything, okay, if you often laugh and are willing to be so arrogant, then let you be arrogant. When you die, when the emperor comes, if you dare to stand there, we don’t need to punish you for a transgression. !
Chang Xiao stood in the court hall, alone, there was no one around him, the officials were far away from him, the civil servants glared at him, and the generals did not like this sudden rise of the emperor's favorite.
After Chang Xiao stood still in the court, he fell into whispers again. The officials' eyes swept over Chang Xiao from time to time. Chang Xiao listened to all their words word for word. What happened at once? As for the attack, the impeachment memorial has been prepared long ago, the virtue of that fool is a treacherous person at a glance, the country supports two hundred people, and he has died in righteousness every year. Today, there are many things like that. Chang smiles, but in his heart he just sneers. He looks at his eyes, his nose and his heart, and doesn’t look at anyone!
At this time, he was savoring the huge momentum in the Qianqing Palace. When he stepped into the palace, Chang Xiao felt that the palace was enveloped by a huge momentum. You can say that this is the palace of the real dragon. Qi, and the Qianqing Palace has a different momentum. This is where the emperor handled memorials, met with ministers, and even Chongzhen’s palace was behind the Qianqing Palace. Since the Ming Dynasty, from the Yongle Emperor Zhu Di to the Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian, there were fourteen An emperor lived here, so the Qianqing Palace was the top priority in the entire palace. It was related to the well-being of hundreds of millions of creatures, and the destiny of the entire world gathered here.
Chang Xiao closed his eyes and listened, and he could even hear all kinds of weird noises in the Qianqing Palace, like the roar of beasts, or like flying leaves falling to the ground. It seemed that he could still vaguely hear the noise in the market, and it seemed that standing here was like the whole world. The world is integrated into one, Chang Xiao has a feeling. If you are a person with advanced cultivation, you can even watch the world's people's livelihood and the evolution of everything in this palace of Qianqing.
When Chang Xiao entered the Qianqing Palace, he felt that the pores all over his body were constantly sucking in the breath here, constantly gathering this breath into the cauldron in the Dantian to nourish the true energy.
At this time, Chang Xiao even had the idea of driving away these noisy guys and staying in the Qianqing Palace to practice alone. Chang Xiao had never thought that there were such benefits in the palace. Originally, he thought that practicing The best place should be among the spiritual mountains and rivers deep in the white clouds, but I didn't expect that the court hall also has such a wonderful place. Is this the true meaning of hiding in the city?
Chang Xiao's mind became more and more determined at this time. If he became the emperor, wouldn't he be able to practice like this every day? I'm afraid it is definitely not difficult to achieve something.
The emperor has arrived!
Following the shout of an old eunuch, Chongzhen, wearing a Yishan crown and a dragon robe, strode into the court hall.
Chongzhen is different from other emperors, maybe because he is young, maybe because he is busy cleaning up messes all day long, so he has a more impatient temper, so he always walks very quickly. Because things are done here,
There's still a lot of shit over there.
The ministers fell silent again.
Chongzhen was sitting on the throne with an expressionless look on his face. He also noticed where Chang Xiao was standing and couldn't help but frown slightly. However, he didn't say anything. He just asked as usual: "
My dear friends, what do you have to report today?"
Ministers, you look at me and I look at you. I don’t know why the emperor pretended not to see where Chang Xiao was standing.
A censor stood up first and said: "Your Majesty, we and the censors jointly impeached Jin Yiwei's colleague Chang Xiao, who broke into the official residence privately, beat the censor's adviser Wang Changxu in public, and robbed Wang Changxu's wife and returned home to commit all kinds of obscenities and humiliations.
, plundered the Wang family’s property in broad daylight and evacuated the entire Wang family. Thirty-nine members of the Wang family were injured by Chang Xiao, 18 of whom had broken legs and tendons. Their condition was unspeakable. Your Majesty, Chang Xiao was so cruel and overbearing.
The methods are vicious and there is no trace of being an official. If such a person commits such a heinous crime in broad daylight, we and the censors will ask the emperor to send Chang Xiao to prison for punishment." As he spoke, a group of censors knelt down with cheers.
All the civil servants sneered in their hearts, Chang Xiao had just stirred up a hornet's nest by hitting the censor. Even if they didn't take action, these censors would not let him go. This Chang Xiao is dead! I'll just watch the fun when they bite dogs.
.
Chongzhen raised his eyebrows slightly, twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, then looked at Chang Xiao and said, "Chang Xiao, is this possible?"
Chang Xiao bowed and went out to report: "Your Majesty is indeed aware of this matter! I know I was wrong!"
Huh? Did you know that you were wrong? All the officials were stunned. They originally thought that Chang Xiao was going to quibble a little bit. They had prepared more than a dozen plans. No matter how Chang Xiao quibbled, they had a way to suppress Chang Xiao. It hurt.
He scolded Chang Xiao. He must be told to leave the palace gate and go directly to the small door of the prison today. How come Chang Xiao actually confessed directly? This made many censors who had gathered enough strength to refute Chang Xiao to hold back their breath.
I almost felt internal injuries from holding it back in my throat.
But it's good to plead guilty. It saves them a lot of effort. Now they can directly escort him out and send him to prison.
The officials who were bullied by Chang Xiao last night were all holding the impeachment memorial against Chang Xiao that they had prepared overnight in their sleeves, ready to throw it out in time to beat the drowned dog.
There was a slight silence in the court, and then Chongzhen said in a stern voice: "Chang Xiao, don't do this again!"
Chang Xiao quickly bowed and replied: "Yes, I won't do this again!" After saying that, he retreated back to his position, stood up again, and looked like nothing was wrong!
Even the courtiers who had seen the storm were a little dumbfounded at this time. What's going on? What's wrong with my ears?
For a moment, the entire court was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.
The courtiers thought for a long time before they seemed to figure out what Chongzhen meant by saying "Don't do this again in the future". This meaning seemed to be the meaning of the words expressed in the sentence itself, inside and outside, up and down,
