During the morning court session, Marquis Zhongyi, who had taken leave yesterday, finally appeared in the court.

Many court officials saluted him, and Yu Jingxuan even stood in the front row of civil officials and gave him a provocative look.

Marquis Zhongyi raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and stood directly in the front row of the generals.

"When you go to court, report what you have to say, and dismiss the court if you don't!" Ruan De shouted at the top of his voice.

"Your Majesty, I have something to report." As soon as these words fell, Yu Jingxuan stood up impatiently.

It was obvious that the civil officials had sent out the vanguard yesterday to test the situation, and today he, a powerful civil official, would take the stage and strike hard, aiming to strangle the Marquis of Loyalty and not give him a chance to turn things around.

"Please speak, my dear Lord Yu." The emperor waved his hand.

"Yesterday, I and other colleagues wrote a letter to attack the Jiang family. Today, the Marquis of Loyalty happened to be in court. I would like to ask him to explain a few things."

"Read!"

Yu Jingxuan immediately took out the letter, raised his voice, and began to read it passionately: "The Jiang family originated in Huaiyang, fought for the world with Emperor Gaozu, and defended the world for Emperor Taizong..."

When he read the call for people with lofty ideals all over the world to unite and fight the river, he was even more full of energy, and his sonorous tone echoed in the hall for a long time, awakening the deaf.

"it is good!"

When he finished reading, someone couldn't help but shout out loud. If they weren't in the Hall of Light, they would probably have applauded.

"Marquis Zhongyi, what do you think of this punitive declaration?" The emperor asked slowly, and it was clear that he was watching a show.

"In reply to the emperor, this manifesto is nothing but the barking of a dog. You may as well ignore it." Marquis Zhongyi said slowly.

As soon as he said this, countless civil officials were instantly angered.

"Marquis Zhongyi, how can you say such vulgar words in the Guangming Palace? Isn't it polluting the emperor's ears?" Yu Jingxuan immediately raised his voice and questioned.

The Loyal Marquis sneered, "How could what I said just now be vulgar? Lord Yu is a scholar, how could he not tell the difference? What's the difference between what I said and what you said? Aren't we both speaking four words at a time? If you really want to hear vulgar words, then I'll satisfy you. That article is so nonsense, what on earth are you barking about?"

"How dare you, you brat!" Someone lost his temper and shouted out loud.

"Hahahaha, if I were a boy, what would you, who only know how to bark like dogs, be?" Marquis Zhongyi retorted unceremoniously.

He even threw his head back and laughed, with a rebellious air about him.

This made the group of civil officials very angry. Yu Jingxuan had a gloomy face and fierce eyes. When he looked at Marquis Zhongyi, it was as if he was looking at a dead person.

Faced with these murderous eyes, Marquis Zhongyi was not afraid at all.

"Everyone, the enemy's eyes are much more ferocious than yours. With such affectionate eyes, you'd better go home and look at your wife!" He was even in the mood to make fun of it, in a very sarcastic tone.

"Your Majesty, I would like to report the Marquis of Loyalty again. This is the Palace of Brightness, but he spoke rudely and disrespected your authority. Please punish him!" Yu Jingxuan said immediately.

The Marquis of Loyalty also bowed respectfully and said to the man on the dragon throne: "Your Majesty, I, the humble servant, consulted the Minister of Rites Yu Jingxuan. I don't distinguish between high and low. I just talked about these civil officials, but I didn't say a word about you. But Lord Yu said that I was despising you. Your Majesty, what does Lord Yu mean by this? Do these civil officials want to rebel?"

"You are being unreasonable!" a civil official nearby spoke up.

"You are slandering me!" Marquis Zhongyi retorted.

"You are so rude!" Another civil official came out to fight.

"I admit it. After all, you only know how to talk nonsense and don't do anything serious at all!" Marquis Zhongyi admitted it very frankly.

As soon as this statement was made, it immediately caused a wave of criticism.

The generals nearby couldn't bear to watch it, even the emperor couldn't help but hold his forehead. The Marquis of Loyalty knew how to provoke.

Look at him alone, he is actually causing a debate with a group of people.

"Your Majesty, I would like to report all the adults who slandered me. They are in league with the Wei family for personal gain. I have helped Wei Xian, that villain, raise his son for fifteen years. I have done my best to raise him, hired famous teachers, and worshipped famous generals. I wish he could be both civil and military. But the Wei family not only took advantage of my family, but also treated my own son harshly, beating and scolding him all day long. When he was young, they even thought about killing him several times."

"This is a family feud. I am leading people to surround the Wei family and seek justice. What does it have to do with the other officials in the court? Moreover, the crimes committed by the Wei family are not only replacing my son, but also bullying the people, forcing decent women to death, occupying farmland, etc. There are witnesses and evidence."

"But these adults have become blind and deaf, unable to see or hear, and only know to deal with me. Not only do they slander me everywhere, they also write a letter of attack to announce it to the world. What are they doing? I have only heard that they wrote a letter of attack to the traitors. In order to protect the safety of the Great Li Dynasty, many of the Jiang family's sons and daughters died on the battlefield. The whole family is loyal and brave, but they are confusing right and wrong and want to put my Jiang family to death."

"I have reasonable suspicions that they are not only in league with the Wei family for personal gain, but are also traitors who are collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country. They want to force loyal ministers and generals like me to death, leaving only these crooked people like them to make slanderous remarks and bring disaster to the government!"

Marquis Zhongyi's voice was low, and he certainly wasn't shouting at the top of his lungs like Yu Jingxuan, but his words were heard by everyone inside and outside the hall, and it was obvious that he used his internal force.

The sound reached the ears of several people and was deafening.

Jiang Yiping was indeed a rough man. The books he read most were military books, and he knew very little about the Four Books and Five Classics.

However, he had led troops in battles for many years, and then had worked his way up in the imperial court. He had fought with these civil officials several times and had also experienced many party struggles, so he was quite familiar with these old opponents.

They have also learned a lot about talking nonsense. The civil officials are best at seizing a small matter and escalating it, and they often shout that the officials are traitors and rebels, and their crimes should be put to death.

Now he was just fighting back, which scared everyone in an instant.

"Your Majesty, this is a misunderstanding. I have no such intention. The Marquis of Loyalty is slandering me!" Yu Jingxuan immediately pleaded guilty.

"Your Majesty, I have no misunderstanding. Yu Jingxuan looks like a treacherous minister. You can tell at a glance that he has no good intentions. He is definitely capable of harming loyal officials. I ask Your Majesty to quickly arrest him, lest he lead the civil officials astray. He only knows how to talk and frame people all day long, and does nothing serious!" Marquis Zhongyi immediately took over the conversation and even started personal attacks.

The generals standing behind Marquis Zhongyi all looked at him with admiration.

As expected of a man with many battles, he is very good at using tactics even in verbal battles. This dazzling attack may seem chaotic at first glance, but in fact there is order in the chaos, with multiple attacks and a wide range of attacks. If any one of them touches the emperor's heart, it will cause an explosion.
