Quick Wear: The Demon Lord blew up the tomb at the beginning

When seeing these names, Xie Lang's expression did not change much, he was still expressionless and calm.

However, Wei Renda, who was standing below, had a bad feeling at this moment.

If Xie Lang got furious, he would think that it was not a big problem.

However, he felt that such silence was just the calm before the storm, and tomorrow's court meeting would be another bloody storm.

Xie Lang finished reading the booklet, put it on the table, raised his head and said calmly to Wei Renda: "I understand, you can go down first."

"I'll take my leave." Wei Renda bowed and took his leave calmly as usual.

Then, his heart was not at peace.

When I think of the people on the list, I just call them a bunch of idiots.

He thought he was extremely smart and that anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something wrong with the amount of embezzlement. He thought Xie Lang would not be able to see that someone had embezzled one thousand taels or one thousand five hundred taels.

This is used to fool fools!

Time flies, and soon a day is over.

The next day.

Today is November 16th, which is the full moon of November.

Since he was compiling the list yesterday, Xie Lang decided to hold the new moon and full moon court today. Today is also the first new moon and full moon court since Xie Lang ascended the throne.

All officials gathered in the Weiyang Palace. All officials in the capital had to participate in this court meeting unless they were unable to do so.

There is still a quarter of an hour before the morning, and Xie Lang has not arrived yet.

Some of the court officials stood still, silent; some looked relaxed and at ease; some were talking in a low voice with their colleagues; some looked nervous and were very uneasy.

But overall, it is still solemn and dignified.

However, there was one official who didn't fit in with the atmosphere around him: "Ah~ I'm just too good. Others racked their brains and tried their best to get promoted, but in the end their official positions didn't change much. Unlike me, I didn't have to do anything and was promoted six levels overnight. This is definitely because I have been low-key, humble and polite over the years."

When everyone heard this, their expressions became very unfriendly, and they looked fiercely at Zhang Zexian who said this.

Keep a low profile? Be humble and polite?

If he were low-key, there would be no high-profile people in the world.

He continued to say narcissistically: "Why are you looking at me? I know that I am very handsome and have an outstanding temperament. I can be called the most beautiful woman in Daliang, but don't stare at me like that!"

Zhang Zexian's despicable voice continued to sound, and the official's expression twitched when he heard this.

The most beautiful woman in Daliang?

Looking closely at Zhang Zexian's appearance, he is indeed good-looking. Standing there quietly without saying a word, he is indeed as elegant as an immortal.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, his extraordinary temperament was completely destroyed, making people want to beat him up.

If this wasn't a court meeting, they would have taken action long ago.

Zhang Zexian's former colleagues stood in the corner with complicated expressions.

In their hearts they cried out that the world was unfair. How could someone like Zhang Zexian be promoted six levels overnight while they worked so hard for most of their lives but still remained where they were?

Is it because he is cheap?

"Zhang Zexian, this is a court meeting, can you please be more normal? As a censor, your duty is to supervise all officials, but you must also set an example. Look at you now, you speak inappropriately and act inappropriately in the court meeting. Are you worthy of the status of Chief Censor?"

An official who was close to Zhang Zexian finally couldn't help cursing. Zhang Zexian simply deserved a beating. Why did he hold such a high-ranking official position as the fourth rank?

"I am a talented writer with a flawless moral character, so why am I not worthy of the title of Chief Censor? Compared to some people who appear to be righteous on the surface but do dirty things in private, I am as serious as can be."

When Zhang Zexian saw someone scolding him, he immediately started scolding most of the court officials.

Do you really think he is just narcissistic?

It is true that he is narcissistic, but he knows what should be done and what should not be done. He is much better than some officials who talk about morality and integrity all the time but actually do things that are harmful to the world.

"Besides, the court meeting will only start at 11:00 a.m., and it's not time yet. His Majesty hasn't even arrived yet. Is there anything wrong with me speaking? There's no rule that prohibits speaking at this time during the court meeting. If you think I'm guilty, please show me the laws of Dayan. As long as I've violated any one of them, you don't need to say anything more. I'll go to the Ministry of Justice and confess my crime myself."

"You...you..." An official standing in front of Zhang Zexian was so angry that he didn't know how to respond.

The rules for court meetings were not that strict, as long as you were not late, eating, snoring during the meeting, beating court officials, and other things that were explicitly prohibited.

As for the rest, it's harmless.

"Silence!" Wei Renda was standing at the front row. When he heard the noise coming from the back, he couldn't help it.

Then he walked up to Zhang Zexian and the ministers who were arguing with him, and said in a dignified manner: "This is Weiyang Palace, not a vegetable market. If you want to argue, wait until the court is over."

Then he looked at Zhang Zexian and said, "The court meeting is a place for discussion, not a place to show off. Even if there are no explicit rules, as a person, you must have a ruler of measurement in your heart. Some things do not need to be explicitly stipulated, but you must have a sense of measure in your heart."

If they were just having a low conversation, there would be no need for him to hold on so tightly, but Zhang Zexian's words had already made him want to hit him.

He already wanted to hit someone, let alone other people.

If he doesn't stop it, the entire Weiyang Palace will become a vegetable market, and that would be his dereliction of duty.

"Thank you for your teachings, Prime Minister."

When Zhang Zexian heard Wei Renda say this, he realized that what he had just said was indeed a bit inappropriate, so he bowed to Wei Renda.

Wei Renda's expression eased for a while, and his condition was not yet hopeless.

"It won't be too late to show off after the court session."

Just when Wei Renda was about to return to his seat, he got a few black lines on his forehead when he heard Zhang Zexian's words.

However, Zhang Zexian also calmed down at this time and did not say anything shocking.

And right now.

"Your Majesty has arrived."

Xie Lang, wearing a black crown with twelve chapters, walked slowly into the Weiyang Palace. As soon as she came in, the entire Weiyang Palace became solemn.

Wei Renda hurried back to his seat, and then all the ministers saluted.

After the ceremony, Xie Lang did not ask what had just happened, but went straight to the point.

"Ten days ago, I asked you to voluntarily make up for the money you embezzled at the court meeting. If you make up for it, I will forgive you. Now ten days have passed, and yesterday the Prime Minister also reported the situation of your payment."

"I found an interesting phenomenon on this list. Left Vice-Chief Censor Zhang Yuming, can you explain to me what the one thousand taels you paid mean? You can't say that you have been an official for so many years and only embezzled one thousand taels. One cent more is not much, and one cent less is not much."
