Chapter 439 Say it again, I didn’t hear it clearly!
Chapter 439 Say it again, I didn’t hear it clearly!
Eunuch Zhang looked at the contents of the letter with a gloomy expression!
Because the letter described exactly what Jiang Chen did in Jiangnan.
Eunuch Zhang didn't expect that Jiang Chen actually killed a county magistrate and the head of a prominent family!
This Jiang Chen is too courageous! ?
Now Cai Jing is looking at Jiang Chen with displeasure.
Presumably, Cai Jing will impeach Jiang Chen!
It was difficult for him to help directly, and those generals couldn't convince Cai Jing's men...
"No! We must help Jiang Chen tomorrow!"
"Don't let anything happen to him!"
Eunuch Zhang was determined to protect Jiang Chen no matter what!
Time quickly came to the next morning court.
With the arrival of the emperor, the morning court officially begins!
"My dear ministers, do you have something to report?"
"Your Majesty! I have something to report!"
As soon as the Emperor finished speaking, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel immediately stood up.
"Oh? What's the matter, my dear?"
Emperor Dajing asked with a frown.
"Your Majesty, I have received news that Marquis Jingyuan Jiang Chen, relying on the sword bestowed by Your Majesty, is doing atrocities in Jiangnan!"
"He not only killed a county magistrate, he also killed an innocent businessman!"
"Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"
The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel said this with a gloomy face.
When General Feng heard this, he was immediately shocked!
Jiang Chen is a member of their military, he absolutely cannot watch Jiang Chen get into trouble!
"His Majesty……"
"Please wait a moment, Mr. Feng!"
"I still have something to ask this beloved minister!"
General Feng was about to speak when Emperor Dajing stopped him.
This made General Feng even more nervous!
Could it be that His Majesty is angry?
What should I do?
"My dear minister, I didn't hear clearly what you said just now. Please repeat it again." Emperor Dajing said with a smile.
……
"Your Majesty! I just said that Jiang Chen was doing atrocities in Jiangnan, killing a county magistrate, and..."
"Wait! It's not this sentence, it's the previous one!"
The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was just about to repeat it, but the Emperor Dajing stopped him!
"Your Majesty, this is what I just said!"
"What else is there ahead?"
The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel looked puzzled.
"Your Majesty, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel just said this!"
"he……"
Cai Jing saw that something was wrong and hurried to step forward!
But it would have been better if he didn't stand up. As soon as he stood up, Emperor Dajing's face suddenly turned cold!
"Shut up! Did I ask you?!"
"this……!?"
When Cai Jing heard this, his face instantly turned pale!
This was the first time that Emperor Dajing got angry with him!
And, it happened in the imperial court!
Could it be that Emperor Dajing no longer loves him?
"My dear, think carefully, what did you just say?"
Emperor Dajing looked at the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel with a smile on his face.
"Your Majesty, I just said that Jingyuan Marquis Jiang Chen, relying on your Majesty's favor..." the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel said honestly.
"Alright! That's enough for now!"
Emperor Dajing stopped the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.
This time, others were even more confused.
Only Eunuch Zhang seemed to understand something.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile.
"My dear, you also said it, my dear Jiang, he killed people in Jiangnan because he relied on my favor!"
"Moreover, it is not only a favor, but also a true will!"
"Could it be that you, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, didn't know about the imperial decree I issued some time ago?!"
"I ordered Jiang Chen to go and provide disaster relief, and gave him a sword that would allow him to kill anyone in Jiangnan without asking for permission later!"
"Don't you know?!"
……
As soon as Emperor Dajing said this, all the officials present were dumbfounded!
What's the meaning! ?
Their Emperor, is he going to blatantly protect Jiang Chen! ?
This... is impossible! ?
The Emperor of Dajing has never seen Jiang Chen!
This……
"Your Majesty, I know, but Jiang Chen kills people at will..." The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was about to speak.
"shut up!"
Emperor Dajing roared angrily!
"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"
When Emperor Dajing roared, everyone knelt on the ground!
Even Cai Jing is the same!
"I've said that Lord Jiang has the right to execute first and report later!"
"Don't even mention that he killed a small county magistrate. Even if he killed all the officials in Jiangnan!"
"It's not your turn to say anything!"
"Besides, what's wrong with Jiangnan officials killing one or two?!"
"The disaster in Jiangnan is so serious, and they can't control it. Are they still officials?!"
"What a bunch of rubbish!"
Emperor Dajing said this with great anger!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
"As for you, I am also thinking about your majesty, your humble servant..."
The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was already trembling with fear.
When Emperor Dajing saw this scene, he looked even more disgusted!
"waste!"
"What's the use of you officials?"
"Come here! From today on, he will be dismissed from his position as the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel and demoted to a commoner!"
Emperor Dajing said coldly.
"Your Majesty! Forgive me!"
"His Majesty……"
The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel was so frightened that he kept begging.
But Emperor Dajing was not moved at all!
Cai Jing wanted to speak up to dissuade him.
But looking at the gloomy expression on Emperor Dajing's face, he finally did not dare to stand up...
……
A court meeting ended just like that.
After this court meeting, the Dajing officialdom was in complete chaos!
Everyone under Cai Jing felt insecure.
Because Emperor Dajing scolded Cai Jing in public today!
Moreover, officials under Cai Jing were dismissed!
Could it be that Emperor Dajing is already dissatisfied with Cai Jing?!
If that’s the case, what will they do in the future?
At the same time, there was another signal that everyone also understood.
That is...Emperor Dajing is extremely fond of Marquis Jingyuan!
It doesn't matter if we kill all the officials in Jiangnan...
What a great favor this is!
"Prime Minister, what should we do?!"
"Prime Minister, what does His Majesty mean?"
"Prime Minister, you must fight back! Otherwise, we are finished..."
"Master Xiang..."
As soon as Cai Jing returned home, all his officials started to persuade him!
"enough!"
Cai Jing was not tired of it and roared angrily!
"I know that Your Majesty is deliberately slapping me in the face today!"
"But you must remember that I am His Majesty's teacher! He cannot dismiss me from my position!"
"But didn't Your Majesty dismiss the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"
"Then let His Majesty know that court officials cannot be dismissed at will!" Cai Jing said coldly.
"This...Sir, what do you mean?" Everyone looked at Cai Jing in confusion.
"Haha, inform the civil servants that I will not attend the court due to illness!"
"Let His Majesty know that we civil servants are not easy to bully!"
Cai Jing laughed coldly!
"this……!?"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this!
Cai Jing is clearly trying to go against Your Majesty!
But... they inexplicably felt in their hearts that this could be agreed!
Because, if they don’t agree, who will protect their rights and status in the future? ?
