Conquer the king with power

"Your Majesty, have mercy!" As the ministers shouted, the officials involved in the case also shouted for mercy.

"Your Majesty, I request that your Majesty severely punish all the officials involved in the case. The law is not strict enough to establish the prestige of the court. How can the court's laws be so easy to forgive. Feng Xiangcai chief assistant, where is the court's law?" Xu Jinnian straightened Straightening the front of his clothes, he walked forward on his knees, and said loudly and forcefully.

"Bold, Xu Jinnian! Where did you come to His Majesty like this? How do you let future history books write Your Majesty!" Cai Shoufu immediately asked Xu Jinnian sternly.

"Si Ji, you will not follow His Majesty's will!" Wei Chun looked straight at Si Ji.

At this time, Si Ji was still immersed in the slander of the princes in the court, and when Wei Chun called him, he immediately came back to his senses.

Si Ji responded immediately: "Yes!" Then he waved his hand to let the Imperial Forest Army behind him come in, and dragged the three adults out.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

"His Majesty!"

"Wait!" Si Yan suddenly called Si Ji to stop.

Seeing that the banquet was called to stop, all the officials stopped their voices for a while, and breathed a sigh of relief.

Just when everyone thought that His Majesty was persuaded, Si Yan's face suddenly changed and he pointed at the three people.

"Here, take off their official uniforms, and take off their official hats. You are not worthy of being an official or a minister." The solemn voice of Si Yan resounded in the silent hall, especially clear.

All the officials were stunned, and Feng Xiang and Cai Shoufu also looked at each other, not daring to say another word.

Si Ji immediately started to take off Hu Yao's official hat.The other imperial guards also immediately stepped forward to drag the other two, and went to take off their official uniforms and hats.

"When I go to court later, all my loves, go and see if the blood outside the Chang'an Gate is red enough, and if the smell of the blood can remind you of your responsibilities." Si Yan waved his sleeves, the beads shook, and he His eyes were hidden under the pearl shade, no one could see clearly what was inside at this moment.

The whole court was silent, and a needle could be heard.

"Zhongshu Ling!" Si Yan then turned to Zhang Zefang who was kneeling behind Feng Xiang.

At this moment Zhang Zefang was shaking uncontrollably, sweating profusely, and her complexion was snow-white.

"The minister... the minister... is here!" Zhang Zefang didn't say the words neatly.

"Where's your letter of resignation?" Si Yan's voice returned to its usual calmness.

Zhang Zefang didn't think that Si Yan's anger had calmed down at this time, and she was calm as usual, so she knelt and stepped forward immediately, and took out the pocketbook from her sleeve.

I took it out for a long time, but because my hands were shaking and nervous, I didn't take it out.

"Huh?" Si Yan lowered his eyes.

"Crack!" Zhang Zefang took out the booklet, but his hands shook, the booklet fell out of his hand and hit the floor with a loud noise.

"Minister...you deserve death, you deserve death!" Zhang Zefang said these four words very neatly, kowtowing all the time.

After speaking, Zhang Zefang immediately picked up the folder and held it above his head.

Seeing the trembling Zhang Zefang, Si Yan was not only angry, but also annoyed.

How majestic is the imperial court with the majestic Zhongshu Ling, who is so cowardly and useless!

Dou Yu immediately went down, brought up the booklet, and presented it to the banquet.

Si Yan unfolded the booklet and read ten lines at a glance. After reading it, Si Yan handed the booklet to Dou Yu.

"Don't you want to make it the same? Come, let you have a look. As usual, Mr. Zhang resigned and recommended the Shaoqing of Dali Temple as the Zhongshuling. What do you think?" Si Yan saw Zhezi's final recommendation, He breathed a sigh of relief, and took a step back to sit on the dragon chair.

Feng Xiang and Cai Shoufu looked at each other again, they didn't expect Si Yan to have such a skill, it was simply unreasonable.

Only by offending the two parties and benefiting myself, shouldn't I restrain myself more and appease the two parties?At this time, it is time to slap the two parties hard, not afraid that the gains outweigh the losses.

Feng Xiang's heart shook and he immediately thought of something: "Your Majesty wants to evacuate the cabinet!" Feng Xiang muttered silently in his heart, and a sudden thunder struck him, making him dizzy.

He always thought that His Majesty was taking power, and wanted to take the six powers back into his own hands.No, Si Yan wants to empty the cabinet.Si Yan couldn't get rid of the cabinet directly, so he used this method of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot.

When Feng Xiangsi thought about this, he knew that he absolutely could not agree with Si Yan to appoint Xu Jinnian as Zhongshu Ling.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu has repeatedly solved major cases and devoted himself to serving the people. He is indeed a pillar of talent. However, Mr. Xu has only been an official for a few years, and his qualifications are still relatively inexperienced. The usual routine, he is in a high position and he is not afraid that his words will offend a fourth-rank young minister.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xu is indeed a great talent. He is a great talent, but he lacks experience and may not be qualified for the position of Zhongshuling." Cai Shoufu also stood up, and it was rare to stand on the same stand as Feng Xiang.

"Your Majesty, I also think it's inappropriate." Seeing Cai Shoufu and Feng Xiang express their opinions one by one, the ministers couldn't hold back, and stood up one after another, expressing their disapproval.

"Master Zhang, what do you think?" Si Yan looked at Zhang Zefang who couldn't stop shaking.

"I... think. Mr. Xu is young and promising, with amazing talents and knowledge, able to solve cases, well-known for his virtuous reputation, and deeply praised by the people. He can take on a great job and be in charge of Zhongshu." Zhang Zefang praised Xu Jinnian.

This made Xu Jinnian feel ashamed of boasting, covered his mouth and coughed lightly, and frowned helplessly.But today he can't say anything, and he can't make any excuses in front of the officials.

"Feng Xiang? Cai Shoufu?" Si Yan asked Feng Xiang and Cai Shoufu again.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zefang resigned to take the blame, how can he be trusted." Feng Xiang directly criticized Zhang Zefang, who was ordered by Si Yan to resign.

"Your Majesty, the Zhongshu Ling is in charge of the six departments. He is an important minister of the dynasty, and he should be the one who can convince everyone. Now that the ministers are against it, how can your majesty let Xu Jinnian be in charge of the Zhongshu?" Cai Shoufu raised his eyes, Feng Xiang said what he wanted to say Having said that, he can only say something else,

Si Yan glanced at Wei Chun, his backer was still there.

"If I insist on letting Xu Jinnian be in charge of Zhongshu, what will you do?" Si Yan asked unhurriedly.

"Your Majesty, think twice! If Your Majesty insists on doing this, I can only risk my life to admonish Your Majesty directly." Feng Xiang kowtowed down, with a very serious expression, as if he would really hit the court to death in the next moment.

Seeing this, Si Yan stopped talking and fell silent.This is the court dominated by the two parties, and it is difficult to move an inch.Under the contest, they are evenly matched.Killing a few ministers today is the biggest concession of the two parties, and it is absolutely impossible to make them take another step back.

They cut down a few ministers today, and they can train a few more tomorrow. They don't care at all, they just spend some effort and trouble.But Si Yan had to use all his efforts and hard work for more than a month to bring down these people. If he didn't win the position of Zhong Shuling today, many accidents would happen tomorrow.This is Dayu's court, and he is such a Dayu emperor!

"Your Majesty!" Feeling the change in Si Yan's expression, Wei Chun spoke slowly.

"The Order of Zhongshu is related to Zhongshu and the Six Departments. The matter is so important that it cannot be determined immediately, so it is better to discuss it later. I have something to play, please read it." Wei Chun took out the booklet he had been keeping. , raised it to look at Dou Yu.

Si Yan looked at Wei Chun in astonishment. Wei Chun should know why he insisted on bringing up Zhongshu today and why he insisted on confronting the two parties in court.

"Okay!" Si Yan nodded.

In this situation, Si Yan had no choice but to accept Wei Chun's proposal.Seeing this scene, Feng Xiang and Cai Shoufu breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Dou Yu also got down busy, and held Wei Chun's booklet in front of the imperial court.

"Your Majesty, I am the officer in charge of this case. After the whole case is handled, I deeply feel that there is a lack of strictness and lawlessness in the court. I request the establishment of a special office to monitor all officials and revive the court. With the law The law is strict, to purify the atmosphere of the officialdom, and to restrain the words and deeds of all officials." Wei Chun knelt straight, his back was firm and resolute, and his voice was sonorous and powerful, resolute.

"Wei Hou!"

"Wei Hou!"

All the princes in the court hall lost their voices in shock at the same time, and looked in Wei Chun's direction.Facing the eyes of the dukes, Wei Chun remained expressionless.

Si Yan was also a little surprised. Shouldn't Xu Jinnian have submitted this brochure?

"Your Majesty!" Seeing that Si Yan hadn't answered the paper for a long time, Dou Yu called softly.

With Dou Yu's reminder, Si Yan accepted the paperwork.

"What do you guys think of Wei Hou's proposal?" Si Yan finished reading the paper as usual, hand it to Dou Yu, and motioned Dou Yu to take it down for Feng Xiang, Cai Shoufu and several important officials in the court to read.

"I think..." Cai Shoufu wanted to stop him after reading it, but he was pushed back by Xiang Xiang and stopped speaking.

"What do you think?" Si Yan looked at Cai Shoufu who was kneeling down.

"I think it's necessary to have a good discussion." Cai Shoufu swallowed back the rebuttal.

"Feng Xiang?" Si Yan looked at Feng Xiang again.

"This is a big matter. It should be discussed in a long-term way." Feng Xiang nodded.

"Deliberate well, think long-term! Then, gentlemen, let's see if this smoky court can wait until you have a good discussion, think long-term! Is it enough for you to discuss for ten or eight years!" Si Yan didn't get angry, his voice was still steady, It was very calm, but at this moment, Emperor Weiya walked away, and the overwhelming officials did not dare to look up.

"Feng Xiang, you are the head of all officials, and you are the first to be guilty of this case! You know it!" Si Yan lifted the pearl in front of him and looked at Feng Xiang.

Prime Minister Feng tightened his back and took a deep breath. He was the head of all the officials, but he failed to restrain them. Making them commit such a crime should be the first crime.

"My lord, I'm guilty!" Feng Xiang kowtowed immediately, this was the third time he kowtowed like this today, the emperor he taught by himself has a strong wrist.

"Cai Shoufu, is this how you lead the cabinet and restrain Zhongshu?" When Si Yan confronted Cai Shoufu, he asked rhetorically.

This question directly bowed Cai Shoufu's head, shouted that he was guilty, and dared not speak other words.

"My lord, I think this proposal is feasible. What Marquis Wei said is for the peace of the court and the stability of the country, so it can be adopted." Wang Chun, Minister of the Ministry of War, walked out of the crowd and looked at Si Yan with courtesy.

The six ministers now only have the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War. Without the Zhongshu Ling, there are six ministers under it. Therefore, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Industry have the most power to speak at this time.The Ministry of Industry belongs to Cai Shoufu, and Cai Shoufu dared not speak when asked by Si Yan, so naturally he dared not say anything.
