Chapter 232: Beat this ungrateful one [Thanks to everyone for your support! Bow again!

The main reason Seeing Seeing Sheng Hong had this thought was because Xu Zaijing beat a member of the Great Zhou Imperial clan yesterday.

In the eyes of the common people, it was like a servant's child in the household beating the master's nephew.

The matter was also made a big fuss, almost known to everyone in Bianjing.

The remonstrating officials of the Censorate, no matter what, should impeach Xu Zaijing!

Xu Zaijing couldn't escape the charge of "bullying the Imperial clan."

But, why are they impeaching the Huyan family?

Seeing Seeing Sheng Hong was thinking about it,

When the Emperor on the dragon throne said sternly:

"Marquis Huyan?"

Jinghai Marquis Huyan Feng stepped out of the ranks, walked to the empty space in the hall, bowed and said: "I am here, I am terrified."

The Emperor looked at Huyan Feng below the stage and said: "Then, you talk to the officials of the Censorate, let the ministers and officials listen and discuss it."

"Marquis Huyan, I checked the documents of the Ministry of War and found that some Dengzhou navy soldiers were transferred to the water transport guard, and some Weizhao inland river navy soldiers were transferred to the Dengzhou navy. May I ask why they were transferred?"

The Jinghai Marquis lowered his head and thought. He couldn't say it was because the Xu family's young lady was going to marry over, and he wanted to compensate the Fifth House with part of the interests of the Third and Fourth Houses...

With the Emperor's golden words of "discuss it,"

The ministers in the court heard the remonstrating official's question and whispered to each other.

At this time, the Emperor said loudly: "I know about this and approved it. I will discuss the details with the officials after the court session."

The Jinghai Marquis bowed and thanked the Emperor for the relief.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The remonstrating official Lu Xingjun bowed and took the order, then continued:

"Marquis Huyan, I have one more question. The Weizhao navy was transferred to the Dengzhou navy and divided into left and right armies. The left army is mainly the Huyan family's Great House's Weizhao navy, and the right army is mainly the original Dengzhou navy of your Fifth House!"

"But according to what I know, the left army lost nearly forty percent of its materials, while the right army lost less than ten percent!"

"Why is the loss so different when transporting materials?"

Huyan Feng said: "It is because the inland river navy is not familiar..."

"You have commanded the navy for many years. Shouldn't you have mixed the soldiers to prevent such situations? Do you not understand these principles, or is it because the Emperor is lenient that the Marquis feels that losing forty percent of materials due to training is a trivial matter not worth mentioning?"

"Your Majesty, I have absolutely no such thoughts."

The remonstrating official Lu Xingjun bowed:

"Your Majesty, I see the Marquis's actions as nothing more than strengthening the trunk of the Huyan Great House and weakening the branches of the other houses! I also want to ask, Marquis Huyan, why didn't you do this strengthening of the trunk and weakening of the branches before!!?"

"Your Majesty, I..."

"Is it because there was no huge profit before, and your Great House's children were unwilling to fight the wind and waves?"

"..."

"Mixing family affairs with state affairs! Causing immeasurable loss of imperial supplies, this official impeaches you, Marquis Huyan, for occupying a position without performing your duties and dereliction of duty. Am I wrong?"

Looking at the Jinghai Marquis who couldn't speak,

Lu Xingjun held the tablet and bowed: "Your Majesty, your servant has finished speaking."

The officials in the court all began to whisper.

Another remonstrating official continued:

"Your Majesty, I heard that Huyan Zhuo, a child of the Huyan family, said when beating Seeing Rong Xian, the son of Marquis Hou Fu Chang: The Huyan family has a prominent family background, was personally appointed by the Emperor, bears the heavy responsibility of state affairs, and the Huyan family has high rank and great power!"

"He also said that Northern Liao's national situation is in a mess, and the Huyan family should be the first in merit."

"Jinghai Marquis, I ask you, the decision was personally determined by the Emperor, the materials were made by the hundred craftsmen, and the navy's giant ships, soldiers' rations, and silver were all from the people's taxes. Your family is the first in merit?"

"With so many materials lost, you have merit?"

The remonstrating official flicked his sleeves and said: "Truly ridiculous!"

The Jinghai Marquis hurriedly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I failed to discipline my son, causing him to speak wildly. I am guilty!"

At this time, Minister Chen of the Ministry of Revenue stepped out and said: "Your Majesty, the court's wealth is all the people's blood and sweat. Since this is the case, shouldn't the Jinghai Marquis be fined to compensate for the court's losses?"

Several important ministers in the country on the side said one after another: "I agree."

The Minister of War said: "Your Majesty, I request to stop the sea transport of the Dengzhou Left Army first. Two trips almost lost one trip's worth of materials!"

"I agree!"

Minister Li of the Ministry of Personnel also stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Jinghai Marquis is derelict in his duty and should be dealt with."

The Emperor nodded and said: "Good, just listen to what the ministers say, Jinghai Marquis!"

"I am here."

"You should rest for a while. There is a specialty in the art, so let your Fifth House take on this matter."

The Jinghai Marquis knocked his head in the hall and said:

"The old servant obeys the decree, thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Afterwards, everyone retreated into the hundred officials.

"Do the ministers have anything else?"

A remonstrating official from the Censorate stepped out and said:

"Your Majesty, I impeach Xu Zaijing, the son of the Marquis of Yongyi, for being wild, rude, contemptuous of relatives, and bullying the Imperial clan! His father Xu Minghua failed to teach his son and failed to govern his family, and should be dismissed from office!"

At this time, the remonstrating official Lu Xingjun also stood out and said:

"Your Majesty, I dare not agree. This matter was caused by Qiu Keli, the son of Prince Yan's retainer, for despising Imperial power and bullying Imperial relatives! He even compared the noble daughter of an Imperial relative's family with a brothel courtesan, with sinister intentions, and his heart deserves to be punished!"

"Xu Zaijing, the son of the Marquis of Yongyi, acted righteously to stop the brawl and rescue the Imperial relative, and should be rewarded!"

Listening to the remonstrating officials arguing back and forth,

Seeing Seeing Sheng Hong, who was among the officials, tapped his forehead with his tablet and secretly thought:

"Muddled! Muddled! Now that the Imperial Prince is strong, the officials in the court naturally stand on the side of the Prince and Empress!

Xu Zaijing's behavior seems wild, but if you look closely, it is a warning to Prince Yan on behalf of the Empress.

It is naturally not easy to impeach.

Although the Heir of Prince Yan's behavior was inappropriate and he intended to humiliate the Imperial relative, the Heir of Prince Yan is a member of the Emperor's Imperial clan.

His legs were broken, no matter what, Prince Yan suffered a great loss. Impeaching Prince Yan would damage the Imperial family's dignity and secretly say that the Imperial clan is not harmonious.

The officials are worried about this, so it is not easy to impeach Prince Yan.

So how to express it?

Just impeach that Jinghai Marquis who was given benefits by the Emperor, but whose Great House stood with Prince Yan, ate inside and out, and didn't know what was good for him.

Seeing Seeing Sheng Hong looked at the remonstrating official who impeached the Xu family and shook his head slightly, secretly thinking: Stupid!

Listening to the remonstrating officials going back and forth:

"If you don't punish the son of the Marquis of Yongyi, where is the dignity of the Imperial clan?"

"Qiu Keli beat Seeing Rong Xian; did this retainer of Prince Yan think that Seeing Rong Xian is an Imperial relative?"

The Emperor waved his hand and said:

"Enough!"

Hearing this, the two remonstrating officials hurriedly lowered their heads.

"The reward for the son of the Marquis of Yongyi, I already rewarded him last night."

"Qiu Keli also got his lesson."

"Let's leave it at that. It's the two children of the Ningyuan Marquis family and the Zhongjing Marquis family who acted righteously, reward them with some things."

The head eunuch on the side hurriedly bowed and responded.

Afterwards, the court session ended.

The Jinghai Marquis, who used to be surrounded by people after the court session, only had a Marquis of Ruyang following him at this time.

Seeing Seeing Sheng Hong followed behind the Minister of Personnel, listening to his superior and the Minister of Revenue talking about

"Overestimating one's capabilities,"

"Colluding recklessly,"

"Hitting a harder and bigger fist,"

Seeing Seeing Sheng Hong nodded.

Then someone leaned over to him and whispered: "Master Sheng, I am hosting today, are you free? Shall we go to Fan Tower for a chat?"

Seeing Seeing Sheng Hong looked at his colleague with a higher rank than himself, hurriedly bowed and said: "I am naturally free, but if it's not me hosting, then I'm afraid I can't go."

"Master Sheng, what are you saying..."

Gu Tingyu didn't care about the previous things,

But got into the Gu family's carriage with a thoughtful expression.

Nanjian Tang alley,

Seeing Rong Feiyan was eating with her parents.

"This time, the young masters of the three Marquis estates helped us. The Consort in the palace sent word to let our family send some thank-you gifts."

"Father, Mother, daughter thinks it's better for Brother to go."

"His injuries haven't healed yet." Rong Mother said with heartache.

"Going like this shows sincerity."

After Seeing Rong Feiyan finished speaking, she saw a maid in her brother's courtyard walk in with a folded piece of paper in her hand.

"Marquis, Mistress, the maid just went into the room to call the young master and found no one, and there is this on the table."

"Maybe he went out to play somewhere, Yan'er, you see what is written."

Rong Mother said, picking up a bowl of soup and about to drink.

Seeing Rong Feiyan held chopsticks in one hand, turned her head to look at the paper unfolded by the maid, and stood up after just one glance.

"What's wrong?"

Marquis Hou Fu Chang frowned and asked.

"Brother, he... he said he wants to join the army and go to the Western Army to make contributions."

"What!!!"

Marquis Hou Fu Chang and his wife both trembled, looking at Seeing Rong Feiyan in a daze.

"Quick, quick, enter the palace, ask the Consort to beg the Emperor to send someone to bring this brat back!!!"

Imperial City Guard,

Zhao Zilong looked at the clerk in front of him: "Are you sure no carrier pigeons flew out of Prince Yan's mansion?"

"Chief, your subordinate is sure, because the Duke of Ying's son is circling around Prince Yan's mansion with a falcon."

Zhao Zilong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In this way, our soldiers can also be deployed in advance."

At this time, a eunuch holding the Emperor's token walked in, bowed and said:

"Chief, the Emperor's decree, let you send a carrier pigeon to the Western Army, and once Seeing Rong Xian of the Rong family is found, send him back immediately!"

Zhao Zilong frowned: "What happened?"

The eunuch explained.

"Even if he set off yesterday, I will go to see the Emperor."

As he spoke, Zhao Zilong walked out.

On the road from Bianjing to Xiangzhou,

A young man with a bruised face was riding on a horse, wincing in pain,

Opening his folding fan to fan himself,

Seeing Rong Xian said to the servant beside him: "Hiss, let's go north first, then west, we must not let anyone catch us back!"

"Young Master, I think we should go back! The Western Army is too far."

"You spineless thing, keep up!"

Quyuanjie,

Xu Zaijing took a day off from the study today,

After all, he had to "recuperate."

After exercising his muscles and bones and eating in the morning,

He was strolling on the Li Ju horse in the racetrack.

On the side of the field, the maid Yunxiang ran over and shouted at the wooden fence: "Young Master, the Gu family's eldest son is here, the Mistress wants you to come over."
