318: C318 The Opening of the Court Show

C318 The Opening of the Court Show

How inefficient are the officials?

A trivial matter that could be delayed for a year and a half might not even be completed.

How high was the efficiency of the officials?

Under the full mobilization of the Ministry of Revenue, more than twenty thousand household registers and road guides only took a day's time to complete the process!

It couldn't be helped. This matter involved the defeat of the Martial Merit Faction, so how could the Ministry of Revenue dare to neglect it?

When these household registration and Lu Yin were settled.

The Civil Official Faction, led by Prime Minister Yanh Hanbo, was sharpening their blades. They were only waiting for the morning assembly tomorrow to impeach the Minister of Ministry of War, Ren Fanzhi.

They were going to give the Martial Merit Faction a thunderous blow!

...

The next day, the sun had yet to rise.

In front of the Chengen Palace, the officials were already waiting in groups of three to five.

If one looked closely, one could see that the officials of the Civil Official Faction all had a faint trace of excitement on their faces.

It was as if they were about to do something very impressive.

"All officials, enter the hall!"

The eunuch's voice rang out!

The hundred officials who were whispering to each other immediately quieted down.

Then, according to the rank of the official, they filed into the Hall of Fame one by one.

After entering the hall, the officials all stood in their own positions.

They were waiting for Wende Emperor's arrival!

The current king of Redwin, Wende Emperor, could be considered to be rather diligent.

He had ascended the throne for several decades, and had never been absent from the morning court once.

This point was clearly a world of difference compared to the previous three late kings!

"The king has arrived!"

The sharp voice of the eunuch resounded once more!

As the voice faded, the officials saw Wende Emperor, escorted by the eunuchs and guards, slowly walk into the Hall of Fame.

Wende Emperor's face was white and beardless. Although he was over a hundred years old, he looked no different from a middle-aged man.

His steps were steady, and his bearing was dignified.

His black dragon robe made him look solemn and dignified.

He ascended the jade steps and sat on the dragon throne.

All the officials bowed in unison.

"Paying respects to the king!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

On the dragon throne, Wende Emperor waved his hand.

He supported himself with both hands. Dao!

"Gu An!"

"All officials rise!"

When the officials heard this, they all said in unison.

"Thank you, king!"

The Chisheng Kingdom could be considered a rather special country.

In terms of administrative level, it belonged to the principality.

Therefore, the successive generations of King Chi Sheng could not be called Zhen. They could only be called by me.

However, the Chisheng Kingdom was also the place where Dong Zi was born.

Thus, in terms of status, it was clearly superior to the other principality.

In order to showcase his uniqueness.

The successive generations of Crimson Victory Kings would wear dragon robes and be crowned with the title of Emperor.

This was why there was a strange scene where even though the imperial title was clearly Wende Emperor, he still called himself lonely.

"If you have any matters to attend to, report them early. If not, then withdraw from the court!"

The eunuch standing on the left side of the jade steps took a light step and looked at the hundreds of official paths.

This eunuch did not come from the Office of Rites. Instead, he was the eunuch who had served Wende Emperor before he had even ascended to the throne.

He was also the eunuch that Wende Emperor trusted the most.

Although he seemed to have no power or position, even Ji Mao from the Office of Rites did not dare to look down on him.

As the eunuch's voice faded, Ji Mao, who was mixed among the hundreds of officials, suddenly stepped out.

He held the memorial book in his hand and bowed slightly to Wende Emperor.

Then, he said solemnly.

"This official has a script!"

When they saw that it was Ji Mao who had stepped forward, all of the civil officials present were stunned.

A dog castrated slave dares to fight in front of us?

However, since Ji Mao had already stood out, the Civil Official Faction could only restrain themselves.

As for the Martial Medallions in the Imperial Court, they were all calm and composed, as if all of this had nothing to do with them.

Especially the Great General Xiahou Wu, he was half-kneeling, as if he was taking a nap.

"What do you have to report?"

Wende Emperor frowned slightly.

To be honest, from a personal point of view.

Actually, he didn't really like the Office of Rites.

After all, this wasn't a trusted eunuch that he had supported.

However, from the king's point of view, the existence of the Office of Rites was indeed a weapon to keep the civil servants and Martial Merit Faction in check.

Therefore, even if Wende Emperor was unhappy in his heart.

He had never removed the Office of Rites.

On the contrary, he would increase the authority of the Office of Rites from time to time.

This way, the Office of Rites would have more confidence to participate in the civil war.

The path of an emperor was to balance and balance.

Maintaining the balance between the various factions in the Imperial Court, this way, the position of the emperor would be more stable.

On this point, Wende Emperor had done rather well.

"Reporting to the king!"

"On the night of October 8th, a huge tragedy occurred in the outskirts of the capital!"

"A large number of citizens were slaughtered. There were approximately 21,000 people who were killed!"

"This case has already shaken the entire Imperial Court. If we are unable to investigate this case, I'm afraid that the people will be filled with resentment!"

Ji Mao spoke with a serious expression on his face.

As his voice fell, Wende Emperor and the officials were all stunned.

The massacre in the suburbs of the capital had happened for several days.

In fact, the officials and Wende Emperor had both heard of it.

However, when they found out that the victims were civilians, they did not take it seriously.

But now, Ji Mao had actually stabbed the Imperial Court.

This was truly shocking.

Wende Emperor frowned and said.

"I already know about this matter. I'll get someone to investigate it thoroughly!"

Wende Emperor replied perfunctorily.

In his heart, he even began to complain about Ji Mao.

If your Office of Rites doesn't keep an eye on the civil and military officials, why are you talking about such trivial matters?

Why are the people still seething with resentment?

Isn't it just a mere 20,000 poor people?

Wende Emperor did not think much of it, but since Ji Mao had revealed it in front of everyone, it was not good for him to pretend he did not hear it.

He could only pretend to be perfunctory and fool them!

"Your majesty, this official also has a memorial!"

Just as Wende Emperor finished speaking, Flower Protect Marquis Lu Kun strode out.

When he saw that it was Flower Protect Marquis, a trace of surprise clearly flashed across Wende Emperor's eyes.

Flower Protect Marquis Lu Kun could be considered as the ruler of the country.

He was the confidant he had supported.

Under his hints, Flower Protect Marquis rarely participated in the competition in the Imperial Court.

Not to mention that there was a memorial!

But today, why did Flower Protect Marquis also stand up for the memorial?

Wende Emperor instinctively felt a trace of seriousness.

"My dear subject, what do you want to perform?"

Wende Emperor said in a deep voice.

Compared to Ji Mao, he definitely trusted Flower Protect Marquis more, so he did not dare to be neglectful.

Flower Protect Marquis Lu Kun naturally saw the surprised look in Wende Emperor's eyes.

He smiled bitterly in his heart.

My king, my king, it is not that I want to participate in the competition of the imperial court.

It is truly... My Six Fans Gate has all sided with Teacher Ye.

Plus, this time, Teacher Ye has done this for the sake of the people.

How can I just stand idly by and watch?

As he thought, Flower Protect Marquis took a deep breath and said.

"Your majesty, recently the competition in the capital has been very serious. This official's Six Fans Gate has vigorously investigated all three sects and nine factions..."

Flower Protect Marquis's voice echoed within the great hall.

Upon hearing this, Wende Emperor could not help but frown.

Investigate the triad?

Isn't this within the jurisdiction of Ministry of Penalty and Six Fans Gate?

Is there a need to talk about it in the Imperial Court?

Wende Emperor was surprised and bewildered.

The Civil Official Faction and Martial Merit Faction were also stunned.

Flower Protect Marquis's appearance had already shocked them.0

Who would have thought that they would start talking about such trivial matters again?

What exactly was he trying to do?

Especially the civil servants present, they gradually grew impatient!

Can you stop talking about your bullshit, Flower Protect Marquis?

You're really f * cking delaying us from doing big things!

Prime Minister Yanh Hanbo frowned and could not help but let his thoughts run wild!

"Today, the Office of Rites and the Six Fans Gate came out one after another!"

"Could it be that they received some news that we are going to war with the martial artists?"

"That's why they are trying to stall for time?"

"That's true. From the perspective of the king, he naturally does not wish for chaos to occur in the imperial court."

"In that case, that eunuch Ji Mao and Lu Kun's memorial were all arranged by the king on purpose?"

"Hmph, how naive. Our scholars have long been irreconcilable with martial artists. How can a mere Ji Mao and Lu Kun be able to stop them?"
