[Quick Transmigration] Why does that crazy critic always chase me!

The next morning, as soon as he was seated, Chu Li noticed that the faces of several sour scholars were particularly ugly. He couldn't help chuckling a few times, and glanced sideways at Zhao Gantang. , leave the court without incident~~~" As soon as the voice fell, Xie En, the censor of the Inspectorate, stepped out in a stride, "Your Majesty, I have an answer!"

Xie En is around fifty, with a goatee, and the court clothes on his body are a bit old. It is both formal and rigid, and his face is cold and hard. With a firmness that would rather fold than yield, he can be seen as an outstanding representative of sour Confucianism.

Chu Li leaned on the back of the dragon chair in a leisurely manner, twirling walnuts carelessly in his hand, "Oh? What is Xie Qing going to play?"

Xie En's face became cold and stiff again, making him look even more unattractive.Chu Li could even see his goatee shaking, and thought to himself: This old man is probably about to explode.

It is true, Xie Enqi's beard is about to turn up, and he is holding back his anger, so his voice is like a bell, with a hint of anger, "Your Majesty, there are rumors flying around in Beijing today, all of which are rumors about Duke Wei. The son's love affair. Originally, these rumors were not worth mentioning at all, but this matter was instigated by someone, and the emperor was involved. I felt that there must be something hidden in this matter, so I specifically asked the emperor to make a decision."

Chu Li turned the walnuts with a smile, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. Hearing the words, he just said lightly: "Xie Qing is worrying too much, it's just some gossip, don't worry about it, it will dissipate in three or two days There is no smoke left."

Hearing what Chu Li said, Xie En's anger was almost uncontrollable, and the anger and accusations on his face were already obvious: "The emperor's words are wrong. If it was only the son of Duke Wei, I wouldn't say a word, but this time If the emperor is involved, it will involve the country. The reputation of the emperor is related to the court and the country, and it is related to the people of the world. Once the reputation of the emperor is damaged, it will damage my reputation at least, and shake the foundation of the country at worst! , it must not be decided on mere rumors!"

Chu Li chuckled indifferently, "Xie Qing doesn't need to make such a big fuss, women have a long tongue, and there are always some idlers who talk about it. The reason why rumors are called rumors means that they are just small talk. Don't focus on it."

After saying this, the people present understood what Chu Li meant, and knew that Chu Li wanted to deal with it coldly, and let him dissipate slowly.

Those who are aware of the current affairs also stop talking.However, Xie En and the sour scholars were angered by Chu Li's actions, and the fire in their hearts was burning higher and higher, and their words had begun to be impolite, "A few days ago, Duke Wei's family was punished for corruption, and Duke Ji Fei was executed. The Duke's wife Huang and her second son Ji Sui were exiled in Yunzhou. The emperor did not punish Ji Ye, which caused rumors to spread everywhere. In order to protect the emperor's reputation and the stability of the court, the minister boldly affirmed that the emperor dealt with Ji Ye according to the law! Restore the law justly and honestly!"

As he spoke, he lifted the hem of his clothes and knelt down on the ground.

Chu Li's eyes darkened a bit, "Xie Qing, I said that day that the Duke's Mansion of the State of Wei has risen since the founding of the dynasty. Cut off here. In the matter of Ji Fei, I did not show favoritism, and dealt with it according to the law! What do you want now? Kill all the people in the Duke of Wei's mansion?" Chu Li's voice in the last sentence has become low and cold.

That powerful majesty slowly spread in the hall with a vicious and violent aura.Chu Li sat high on the golden dragon chair. Although he looked like a young man, he crushed all the court officials underground.

Realizing that Chu Li was unhappy, the timid one dared not say anything more.Some people who wanted to persuade them also stopped talking when they saw this.

Xie En said that he was stubborn and pedantic, it was no exaggeration, like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard, he didn't seem to notice the change in Chu Li's temperament, his tone was still cold: "The emperor calms down, it's not the minister What do you think, but Ji Ye must be dealt with in order to quell the rumors, otherwise the matter will spread more and more, and then it will become a stain on the emperor, and Ji Ye will be blamed even if he dies!"

The smile on Chu Li's face slowly disappeared, his expression indifferent, "Ji Ye must be dealt with? Then according to Xie Qing's intention, how should we deal with it? Kill him?"

"Same as the second son Ji Sui, exile in Yunzhou!" Xie En said firmly.

Chu Li's face was completely clouded, "Exile in Yunzhou... Could it be that Xie Qing is slapping me in the face? The imperial decree has been issued, Ji will not be exiled, and inherit the Duke of the country. Now because of these few rumors, Xie Qing wants me to take back what I said and slap me in the face? Do you think those few rumors are more important than my face?"

Chu Li asked softly, but everyone's expressions changed drastically, and they knelt on the ground with a thump. Meng Chen, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said: "The emperor calms down the emperor! Thank you, that's not what I mean, thank you!" Your Excellency is also thinking about the reputation of the emperor, not selfish, the emperor calms down."

Chu Li's usual yin and yang smile on his face has long since disappeared, and his face is full of uncontrollable gloom and coldness, "For my sake? Is he thinking of me or does he want me to beat myself up? Face? The imperial decree has been issued, and there is absolutely no possibility of tampering with it. Don’t you, as court officials, know?! You can say such words today that don’t care about my face, how can you know that tomorrow you won’t say the words that are against the deposed emperor Qingjun!”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar. Chu Li's words put a big hat of rebellion on Xie En's head!

Someone who was close already secretly pulled Xie En's clothes, asking him to apologize to Chu Li immediately.

However, Xie En was able to sit on the position of inspector censor, how could it be so easy to let it go?There was no trace of flinch on his face, his slightly aged face became more stubborn and cold, "The emperor atones! I have a clear conscience for my country!"

"Have a clear conscience? Then you mean that I have a guilty conscience?" Chu Li slapped the dragon table in front of him hard, the walnut in his hand was crushed by him, and the anger on his face could no longer be suppressed , he could no longer maintain the smiling face he had pretended in the past, and looked at Xie En with a sullen look on his face.

And the more Chu Li reacted, the more angry Xie En became. Seeing Chu Li like this, he couldn't suppress the fire in his heart, and he blurted out without reason: "The emperor defends Ji Ye like this, is it true that rumors are true?" Really?"

As soon as these words fell to the ground, no one in the audience dared to make a sound, they all lowered their heads and wished they could stick their heads into their crotch. Their scalps were tingling and they couldn't help secretly admiring Xie En, lamenting that he was not afraid of death and was eager to seek death.

Chu Li sneered, with a vicious and violent body, "If what I say is true, what will Xie Qing do? Give him death?"

Xie En's face changed, and his voice was rough and astringent, "If it is true, Ji will not be able to stay!"

Chu Li's eyes were full of sarcasm, "I can't keep it? Xie Aiqing! Don't forget that Ji Ye is the son of the Duke of the Kingdom, and he can be regarded as a nobleman! He has never corrupted the law, murdered for money, and made no mistakes in his life. , why can't you keep him?"

The stubbornness on Xie En's face is obvious, "The emperor's words are wrong! Ji Ye did not make a mistake, but Longyang's kindness is against the world! If he is just an ordinary person, as long as he does not make mistakes, I will naturally not care about him. But as What the emperor said, he is the son of the Duke of the state, he is a nobleman, and if he and... more tarnish the reputation of the emperor, that is a heinous crime! He deserves to die!" After finishing speaking, he knelt on the ground with his neck stuck and bang Bang bang kowtow, "I beg the emperor to stab Ji Ye to death! To rectify the country!"

Chu Li laughed angrily at Xie En's appearance, "Isn't Xie Aiqing an idiot? Just because he is a nobleman, not to mention you, even I, can't give him to death casually. The century-old family of the Duke of Wei, How much blood was shed and how much life was sold for my dynasty! At the beginning of the establishment of the dynasty, how many people died for the dynasty of the Ji family! Now you are lucky, because of these few rumors, you have to punish the meritorious. What do you have the face to say? For the sake of me, for the sake of the world! Open your mouth and shut your mouth to give death, raise your eyes and lower your eyes to kill, your knowledge has been learned in the stomach of a dog? Is this what is written in the sage book?"

"The emperor knows that the minister didn't mean that!" Xie En still had no scruples, "Ji Ye is indeed a meritorious person, no one can deny this, but because of his fault, the damage to the emperor's reputation has already caused a catastrophe! Don't let it go, otherwise, if it gets out, if Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi use this as an excuse to ridicule the Celestial Dynasty and make them unworthy of becoming emperor, it will be a great disaster! So in order to avoid such disasters, Ji Ye can't stay Ah, Your Majesty!"

"Has Ai Qing ever heard a word?" Chu Li whispered softly, but he was full of imperial arrogance, "If you are not of my race, your heart must be different! Without this excuse, if the barbarians of the world want to turn against them, there are still endless possibilities. What you should think about is not how to put an end to these disasters, but how to subdue them when the disaster arises! Let them never dare to have another heart!"

"What I want is a minister who can share my worries, not an idiot who wants to kill someone when he is idle all day long!" Chu Li stood up and looked at the crowd kneeling in a ball invincibly. , "Do your own thing well!"

After speaking, lift your foot and leave.

"Your Majesty!" Xie En yelled, with an admonishing expression on his face: "Ji Ye can't stay! As a man, he did such a disgraceful thing! I beg the emperor to grant Ji Ye death! Otherwise... otherwise, I beg you!" I just crashed to death on this golden hall! I am ashamed of the late emperor~~" Chu Li stopped in his footsteps, turned around and looked at Xie En: "One of the immorality you mentioned is me! Let me tell you! Rumors Although it is false, the matter between Ji Ye and I is true! I will tell you clearly: I will let Ji Ye live! Live well! I will not kill him!"

While speaking, Chu Li stared at Xie En: "As for you... the law of the ancestors: If the official is not convicted of remonstrance, I will not kill you, but if you seek death by yourself, then you will die! Then Ashamed of the late emperor, you go down and find him!"

After finishing speaking, without looking at Xie En again, he turned and left. Seeing this, Zhao Gantang shook the floating dust, shouted: "Back to court~~" and followed Chu Li.

Seeing this, Xie En yelled in humiliation, and was about to hit the Panlong Jinzhu standing on both sides of the Golden Luan Hall.However, someone had already caught him, and when they saw his behavior, they hurriedly pulled him back. Several people held him down and couldn't move. It took a lot of effort to calm Xie En.

However, the old man Xie En was stubborn enough. Seeing that Chu Li couldn't be persuaded like this, he threatened to not go to court. Chu Li naturally ignored him, and he was sending decent people to investigate at the moment.

Find out who released the news, causing such an uproar.

Chu Li is in his twenties this year, and he has been on the throne for several years. In addition, he is powerful and tough. Naturally, he is not comparable to those cowardly and useless emperors. He has great power and many capable people under him. The boundary of the capital is almost his territory.

Within three days, the envelope was placed in front of his case.

Chu Li tore open the wax seal and took out the letter. There were not many words in it, just a few strokes, but it clearly explained the cause and effect.

When the rumors first started, Zhao Gantang reported to Chu Li.And Chu Li was in Qinghe Palace at that time, so Ji Ye naturally knew about it.

Ji Ye didn't really care much about this matter. As the current successor of socialism, how could he care about gossip.

Anyway, it won't lose a piece of meat.

But at that time, Chu Li was involved after all.As the emperor, Chu Li could move his whole body with a single stroke, and there might be twists and turns, so he thought about it, and then told Chu Li about Huang's threatening remarks.

If Chu Li wants to find the person behind the scenes, he can check the Huang family first.

And Chu Li thinks a little more than Ji Ye.Ji Ye was followed by a shadow person, and everything he did every day would be laid out in front of him in detail, so he naturally knew what Huang said.

Although Mrs. Huang is the wife of the Duke's Mansion, the women in the deep house do not have the ability to stir up the capital.She may have spread the rumors, but there must be other people behind it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for the city to be full of storms in just two or three days.

Opening the envelope, it was the news from the people below. As expected, the news was indeed spread by Mrs. Huang.

But the rumors she spread at the beginning were just that Ji Ye was a man, but he fell under other men, immoral and morally degraded, unworthy of the position of son, let alone the position of Duke.

But someone pushed from the back, and the rumors changed, and became "female lying under the emperor".The intention is to make this matter big, and the censor official will definitely play it at that time. For the sake of face, the general emperor will definitely send Ji Ye out, or deliberately alienate him.

Anyway, no matter what the outcome is, things between Chu Li and Ji Ye are definitely going to die.

But Chu Li is not an ordinary person, not to mention that he is not assigned or alienated, but he even admitted the matter with Ji Ye openly, and told everyone frankly: Ji is also my person, and I, as the emperor, want to protect him!I want to be selfish, who can do anything to me?

The unreasonable way of beating the master to death with random punches is really helpless.

Chu Li glanced at the envelope, the Su family... huh... Concubine Ning, named Su Wanyue.

"Come here!" Chu Li was too lazy to lean on the imperial concubine's couch, holding a book in one hand and reading.

Zhao Gantang came in, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty."

"Have the Huang family and the second son Ji Sui of the Duke of Wei's mansion started their journey?"

"Back to the emperor," Zhao Gantang said softly, "I have been gone for two days."

Chu Li smiled inexplicably, "Send the order, don't go to Yunzhou, and change to Hunan and Guizhou."

A flash of understanding flashed in Zhao Gantang's eyes, he responded with a low voice, turned around and went out to deliver the order.Chu Li casually withdrew his gaze, and continued to lean on the imperial concubine's couch to read.

Ji Ye, who had nothing to do next to him, was dumbfounded when he heard the words. He didn't expect that the Huang family really wanted to go to Hunan and Guizhou.

With her brain and Ji Sui's spoiled appearance, she can't die there!

Chu Li naturally knew what Xiangqian was like, but he still diverted the Huang family and Ji Sui who were already on the road, which showed that he really hated the Huang family.

Although she was not the mastermind behind the scenes, if she hadn't been so quick-witted and spread such rumors, how could there be such a commotion in the city.

Being human has consequences, so she and her son have to pay for what she did.

Of course, the people behind the scenes wouldn't let it go, they were all calculated on him, so he couldn't care about his hatred.

Within half a month, Wei Dian played again, and Su Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of War, embezzled military pay and withheld food and grass.There was an uproar for a while.

You know, Su Zhi's younger sister is Su Wanyue but Concubine Ning.Now that the emperor has not established a queen, the one with the highest status is this Concubine Ning.

Although she was demoted a few days ago, she has controlled the harem for many years, and her prestige is still there.In addition, Su Zhi is the Secretary of the Ministry of War, and the two brothers and sisters have joined forces in the harem, and ordinary people really dare not touch their bad luck.

I have always known that Wei Dian is a thorn in the head, unafraid of power and unbearable to the world.A few days ago, a book of documents took down the Duke of Wei's mansion, how long has it been, and they are going to visit Suzhi again?

Seeing this, many ministers would hold their foreheads and sigh.

The emperor didn't seem surprised at all. After reading Wei Dian's memorial, he ordered Qin Zheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, and Dali Temple to review it together.

Seeing his understatement, everyone thought it was just a trivial matter, and at most a salary or something would be fined.

However, no one expected that half a month later, the evidence presented by Qin Zheng and the Shaoqing of Dali Temple actually proved that Su Zhi embezzled 30 taels of military pay!

As soon as this incident happened, the ruling and opposition parties were in turmoil! What is the concept of 30 taels?You know, the total military salary for the entire Xing Dynasty is only 60 a year.And Su Zhi actually took 30 yuan! !

How many years has he been Minister of the Ministry of War?How could he be greedy for so much money!Is the position of Minister of Military Affairs so lucrative?Many people have small ninety-nine in their hearts.

However, before the greed surged, Qin Zheng, Wei Dian and others led the Ministry of Criminal Justice to arrest the entire family of the Su family, and the Su family was ransacked.Before a month had passed, the Su family also collapsed.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the Su family, many people felt a little trembling in their hearts, and they also had a new understanding of Chu Li's cruelty.Whenever greed surges up, I will think about the tragic situation of the Su family and Ji family, and then weigh whether I can bear Chu Li's thunderous punishment.Most will think twice.

The Su family is down, and the lips are dead and the teeth are cold. Su Wanyue and the Su family are dependent on each other. Now that the Su family is gone, Su Wanyue has no backing.Coupled with the fact that her phoenix seal was withdrawn and her status was lowered, her life is very difficult now.The news is not as good as before.

By the time she received the news, the entire Su Mansion had been taken into prison at the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

The backlog of grievances, anger, aggrievedness and shame these days, together with the current panic, all broke out.Like crazy, she rushed to the imperial study regardless of anyone's obstruction.

Zhao Gantang saw that his makeup was disheveled, his face was pale, and he looked crazy. He didn't say anything, and was about to rush in.So he frowned, and winked at the eunuch next to him.

Two strong eunuchs stepped forward and grabbed Su Wanyue by one arm.

Zhao Gantang shook off the floating dust, and stepped forward with a smile, "Ning Zhaoyi, you are so eager, but do you have something urgent to see the emperor?"

Only then did Su Wanyue manage to recover a sliver of sanity, ignoring her already disheveled temple hair, grabbed Zhao Gantang's hand, and begged in a voice: "Mr. Seeing the emperor, I beg your father-in-law to inform you." After saying that, he took off the ice-species jadeite from his hand and was about to stuff it into Zhao Gantang's hand.

Zhao Gantang blocked it for a while, but didn't take it, his face remained unchanged, still smiling, "Oh, ma'am, the emperor has urgent matters to deal with, and he specially ordered not to disturb, or you can come back at another time? "

"Eunuch Zhao," Su Wanyue begged, with a crying tone, "Please, please inform me, I really have something important to do." As she said, she frantically went to pick off the only hair on her head. That nobile.

Zhao Gantang didn't seem to see the pleading on her face, he was still smiling, but his heart was as cold as ice, without a trace of emotion, "Mother, please don't embarrass us slaves, the emperor specially ordered Yes, I don’t see anyone, otherwise why wouldn’t the slaves pass it on for you?”

Su Wanyue still didn't give up, begged again and again, Zhao Gantang's heart was as strong as iron, and he didn't waver at all.Seeing this, Su Wanyue could only say sadly with tears in the corners of her eyes: "Then don't bother Eunuch, I... I will wait here until the emperor finishes his work." Tears, standing pitifully on the porch.

Zhao Gantang glanced at her, didn't chase her away, turned around and ignored her, took out a square handkerchief from his bosom, first wiped the hand that Su Wanyue had grabbed, and then threw the square handkerchief aside The little eunuch threw it away, and then began to lean on the varnish mahogany pillar idly, not knowing whether to lower his eyes or close them, but he couldn't see his expression anyway.

After a while, a little eunuch came over with a pot of tea, Zhao Gantang took it, ignored Su Wanyue's Xiyi eyes, and carried it in without even looking at him.

Chu Li was indeed inside, but it was nothing serious. He was holding a book in his hand, which was a bit strange, unlike what he usually read.If Yu Gui was here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance.Because he bought this book to relieve Ji Ye's boredom.

A few days ago, Ji was unwell and couldn't move. He was really bored, so Yu Gui bought him some biography and paintings to relieve his boredom.Some time ago when he entered the palace, Ji brought it with him, but it was seen by Chu Li, so now it has passed to Chu Li.

"Your Majesty." Zhao Gantang put down the tea lightly, and while pouring tea for Chu Li, said in a soft voice, "Ning Zhaoyi begged to see her, but the servant stopped her."
