Chapter 157

As a second-rank official, early court is inevitable.

After leaving the gate of the mansion, King Qing was already waiting by the carriage. The father and daughter looked at each other and smiled, and then boarded their own carriages without saying a word.

There are many things between father and daughter that need not be said too clearly, and sometimes everything is explained with a smile.

Fenghua should have been replaced by a second-rank official's car, but she was still riding in the original carriage (she was too lazy to change, and she was used to it anyway), but the scenes followed were different.

He was still behind King Qing's team, but the people who followed him were the same as King Qing.

When they came to Xianyang Gate, all the officials had already arrived, and they were still pushed by Suifeng to Wang Xiang's lower position. Wang Xiang just glanced at her indifferently, standing calmly as usual.

Like that Wang Shangshu, who shouted who is my father, who is my uncle, and who is my uncle when encountering problems, such a person would not care about his elegance, that is a paper tiger, and it will be torn as soon as he is torn.

But someone like Wang Xiang, who obviously hates her to death and wants to kill her every minute, but sees her as if he saw an ordinary person, and doesn't even show hatred in his eyes, such a person is truly terrifying .

When she and King Qing stood up, the eunuch's singing sounded immediately, and the two girls came in by pinching each other.

The emperor and the regent sat down, and all the officials paid homage and shouted long live, ten days as one day, the only difference is that in addition to the Taiwei who sits and doesn't kneel, there will be a second-rank female official who doesn't need to kneel in the future court hall.

The emperor called out, and after all the officials returned to their positions, the servant of the household department was the first to stand up.

"Report to the emperor, Nangong Yushi arrested my Minister of the Household Department for no reason yesterday, and now the work of the Household Department is at a standstill, I beg the Emperor and the Regent to make a decision."

Fenghua thought they could bear it for a while, but he didn't expect to be so impatient.But she didn't respond, she still sat there with a calm expression.A servant, it's not worth it for her to come forward and fight with the other party in person.

If she doesn't show up, someone will naturally stand up.

The servant of the Ministry of War stepped forward, "Abducted for no reason. Your household department has been in debt to the Metropolitan Procuratorate since half a year ago, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate still needs to report to your household department when it handles the case? You can't do things without the minister. Then why does the imperial court support these servants and managers of your household department?"

Fenghua wanted to applaud him, the words were so beautiful.

Another servant came out from the Ministry of Industry, "Wu Shilang's words are wrong. The Shangshu is the head of a department. The Shangshu of the Household Department has been arrested. How can the head of the Household Department go to work normally? And seeing the end of the month, every government office and government office They are all waiting for the bill issued by the Ministry of Accounts, it seems that your Ministry of War is not in a hurry."

Is this a threat?

Fenghua despises him, and threatens him if he can't do it, who is it?
Another servant stood up from the Ministry of Officials, "According to what Shilang He said, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot operate for a day without a minister? If so, will the Metropolitan Procuratorate have to send someone to do the work for every official it arrests in the future? "

Fenghua likes this remark, it seems that we are all masters in distinguishing and answering.

It's getting tough here, and the Minister of Rites came out, "The emperor, the regent, and the ministers don't think that Nangong Yushi's actions are wrong, they just think that her actions are wrong. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has the right to arrest and interrogate officials, but On the first day of Nangong Yushi's tenure, he went to the Ministry of Households to arrest Lord Shangshu in person without checking the facts and only listened to one-sided remarks, which made the ministers panic."

These words make Fenghua want to die, can't you just say it directly?

They published a book, the regent must give face, right?

The Minister of the Ministry of Punishment stood up, "Your Majesty, the Regent, as far as I know, the Nangong Yushi has solid evidence, so he went to personally arrest the Minister of the Household Department, not because Liu Shangshu said that he had not checked the facts and only listened to one-sided words."

The Minister of Rites immediately retorted: "Since there are facts and evidence, then present the evidence."

As soon as he yelled out, not to mention the officials on the Regent's side, even those from the Wang family turned their faces away.

The Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice looked at him with contempt on his face, "Master Liu is the Minister of the Ministry of Rites, so I don't know the trial process, so I won't say much about it. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has always handled cases only from the emperor and the regent, (voice sternly) Is Liu Shangshu trying to exceed his authority?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites also found that he had said something wrong, and was blocked by his words, he immediately knelt down heavily toward the top, "I dare not."

At this time, the regent spoke in a nonchalant manner, "This matter is known to the king, so far. During the trial by the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yang Shilang will temporarily act as the minister."

"Respect the Order of the Regent."

The regent made the final decision, and the officials returned to their positions again. We won this battle.

The Minister of the Ministry of War stood up again, "Report to the emperor, the regent. The army's payment time has come, and many people have been urged to go up. The Zhennan army led by General Zhennan has been unable to eat white flour for two months. The soldiers can only eat one meal a day, which is just a rough steamed bun, and the rest of the time they are covered with salt, but even the rough steamed bun is almost out of their reach.”

At the end of the speech, Minister of the Ministry of War himself was a little choked up.Ministers of the Ministry of War are generally people who came out of the army. He himself was a member of the army at the beginning. Even though he has become a minister now, he still has not forgotten the heroic feelings when he galloped on the battlefield with his comrades, and naturally he cannot forget the suffering of soldiers.

But now. . .

He was determined but lacked strength, and he was so worried all day and night that he couldn't sleep.He finally heard that Princess Fenghua gave 3000 million taels of silver to the court, and he was so excited that he couldn't stand it anymore. Yesterday he was inconvenient to say anything, so he kept enduring it, and today he really couldn't bear it.

As soon as the Minister of the Ministry of War said this, people's eyes were not on the two above, but on the two standing and sitting on the right with a unified "shua".

Fenghua glanced around, then slowly turned her neck, and looked at the person on the right with a 'swish', asking all over her body, 'Dear, when will you pay back the money? '.

Wang Xiang was still expressionless, looking forward without fear, as if he was not the one who was being watched by dozens of pairs of eyes.

The two above did not speak, everyone looked at Feng Hua and Wang Xiang, the scene suddenly became strange, and it was the first time since Long Yao established the country that the morning court was silent.

Is Wang Xiang really as fearless as he appears?Wrong, at this moment, his heart is wishing to kick the Minister of the Ministry of War who brought up this matter to death.

At this moment, the eunuch sang the eunuch abruptly: "The Empress Dowager is here!~~"

After all, the little emperor was still young, so he immediately showed displeasure. The regent's face was always paralyzed and he couldn't see anything. Everyone in the Wang family immediately looked happy, while the regent's party, on the contrary, was not in such a beautiful mood.

At this time, it is too easy to distinguish who is who. You can understand it in seconds from the expressions and movements.
