Chapter 193 You can’t scold my wife
After a night of tenderness, my sister-in-law smiled more than before.
After waking up in the morning, Jiang Xueer wanted to serve tea to the empress, but the empress had gone to a court meeting, so Shen Changgong asked her to go home.
Just after seeing my sister-in-law off, I saw Gongsun Wan'er running over and said,
"Shen Changgong, go to the court and take a look. The quarrel is too intense."
Shen Changgong frowned upon hearing this, and walked quickly towards the main hall with Gongsun Wan'er, asking as he walked,
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty and the Prime Minister are trying to implement the imperial examination system in the court, but all the officials disagree and are fiercely opposing it. The argument is now in full swing.
I came secretly to call you."
"Well, that's understandable. These officials are all vested interests in the recommendation system. If their cake and cake are touched now, they will definitely fight hard.
Just like the Enfeoffment Order, it affected the interests of all the princes and nobles, and they fought tooth and nail."
"What are you going to do?"
"What should we do? How are the princes now?"
Shen Changgong sneered and walked forward.
Entering from the side door and arriving at the main hall, Shen Changgong saw the ministers gathered together, united as one, denouncing the empress and the prime minister.
Prime Minister Wang Anqing looked at them with a gloomy face, while Grand Marshal Gao Qiu and Imperial Censor Chen Zhe shouted at them to be quiet.
But when it comes to their own interests, or even the interests of the whole, even the Three Dukes and the Empress are of no use here.
They must defend their family interests to the death.
When Shen Changgong stepped into the hall, the originally noisy hall suddenly became quiet.
There was complete silence for a moment, as if a huge hand had suddenly grabbed their necks, leaving them speechless.
Shen Changgong walked slowly, each step was steady, and he moved forward step by step.
Looking at him, all the officials couldn't help but retreat backwards.
That aura, that look, just one look and they felt like they were already trapped in a Shura field.
The empress found this scene a little funny.
As the emperor, all the civil and military officials dared to argue with her fiercely, but as soon as Shen Changgong arrived, they were immediately scared and dared not speak.
If you don’t know, you would think that Shen Changgong is the emperor.
Yan Fuyao is a woman after all, and her deterrent power is insufficient. She generally would not kill ministers, but Shen Changgong is different. This guy is a madman, and a very capable madman. When he says he wants to kill someone, he doesn't just mean killing one person, but directly confiscating the property and exterminating the entire family.
Soon, Shen Changgong walked to the middle of the hall, and all the officials retreated to the door.
Shen Changgong just looked at them quietly, and the officials also looked at each other, pushing each other, trying to let others pass.
But after pushing it for a long time, no one dared to stand up and speak.
They felt that their morale was low, which was not good, so they winked at each other.
"Go ahead, what are you afraid of? We are right."
"Go ahead, don't be a coward. Does he dare to kill all our civil and military officials? The whole country will grind to a halt."
"You go, you go."
"I'm not going, you go."
Sometimes, a look can contain a lot of meaning.
When people get old, they become spirits; when things get old, they become monsters; they are all thousand-year-old foxes.
Shen Chang looked at them and said coldly,
"The Enfeoffment Order was proposed by this king, and the military reform was also proposed by this king.
This time, the imperial examination system was still proposed by this king.
I am here to ask you one question: who is in favor and who is against it?"
The ministers looked at each other, and finally a short, dark-skinned official stood up and said loudly,
"I object!"
Seeing this, the ministers were extremely pleased and praised him one after another.
"Guocheng, we are all officials from generations past, and we are from a family that has been around for centuries. Don't lose face!"
"Yes, cheer up!"
"Well done!"
When the official heard the cheers from his colleagues, he immediately felt full of strength and had an extremely solid backing behind him, so he strode forward.
He pointed at Shen Changgong's nose and shouted angrily,
"Prince Shen, Your Majesty, the recommendation system was passed down by our ancestors. It is the ancestral system and the foundation of our country. How can we change it at will?
This is an act that shakes the foundation of the country and is an act of rebellion against our ancestors!
You have already killed all the dignitaries in the court, which is unfair to the founding generals who followed Taizu. Do you still want to kill all the civil and military officials in the court?
The recommendation system cannot be changed!
Otherwise, Your Majesty and Prince Shen would be a pair of tyrants and treacherous ministers, people who betray their teachers and ancestors!"
As soon as Ma Guocheng said these powerful words, all the officials behind him nodded and praised him for what he said.
Scolding the emperor in the court is a great thing that will go down in history and a heroic act.
Shen Changgong had an expressionless face and hooked his finger at him.
Ma Guocheng took off his official hat, flicked his sleeves, strode forward, looked aggressive and glared at Shen Changgong.
Shen Changgong raised his hand.
Snapped!
"what!"
Ma Guocheng was slapped in the face by him. The powerful slap made him complete a difficult Thomas turn in mid-air, and then fell heavily to the ground face down.
This slap stunned everyone around. The empress's eyes fixed, and Gongsun Wan'er was frightened.
No one expected that Shen Changgong would be so domineering and beat people in the court over a disagreement.
"Guocheng, Guocheng!"
"How are you doing?"
"Call the imperial physician, Your Majesty, please send the imperial physician over."
The ministers hurriedly helped Ma Guocheng up, and when they looked at him carefully, they were shocked.
This time he fell hard, Ma Guocheng's face was covered in blood, and two of his teeth fell out. He looked extremely miserable.
Ma Guocheng was furious and pointed at Shen Changgong and shouted,
"Prince Shen, two months ago, who was it that solemnly vowed in the court that no one would be punished for their words?
"Have you forgotten everything you said? Do your golden words no longer count?"
Shen Changgong smiled lightly and said,
"Of course my words count. I didn't say you were guilty."
"Since I am innocent, why did you assault me? Doesn't assaulting someone no longer constitute a crime under the laws of Great Yan?
Is there still law? Is there still law?!"
Ma Guocheng felt aggrieved and angry, and the corners of his mouth twitched in pain.
Shen Changgong explained seriously,
"I'm not beating you because you've made any mistakes, nor am I using my status to suppress you.
Rather, as a man, when he saw someone insulting his wife, he was filled with righteous indignation and decided to teach the other person a lesson.
If a man's wife is scolded and he doesn't even dare to fight back, what kind of man is he?"
When the ministers heard this, they were all upset.
What kind of ridiculous reason is this?
The empress on the dragon throne couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth after hearing these words. Her eyes were gentle, with a hint of pride and emotion.
