That brat ruined me!

That brat has the nerve to compare us to that guy on the raft; he's trying to kill them!

Before the man could finish speaking, the two men stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, we solemnly and resolutely support Your Majesty's decision."

Besides, the young master is young and should eat more, unlike us adults who are strong and healthy and can stand without any problem.”

Right Chancellor Xu Su echoed, "Yes, Your Majesty, the Left Chancellor is right. I also think that it is very good for the Junior Tutor to attend court like this. I am still young and I like to attend court standing up."

Yue Fuguang nodded secretly, and complained, "Exactly, do you think this immortal lord wanted to come to this lousy job? Is my bed not warm enough, or is sleeping in until I naturally wake up uncomfortable?"

The system chimed in, "[That's right, Master is still so young, getting up so early makes Little Bead feel sorry for him. Sigh! Being a mortal is really tough!]"

Moonlight wholeheartedly agreed, "Life here is pretty tough, we have nothing. Sigh! Oh well, I'm here to undergo trials, not to enjoy life, I know that! I'll just treat it as a form of spiritual practice!"

[Master, those people who just impeached you are obviously not good people. No, I can't swallow this anger.]

You wait and see, I'll see if they've done anything wrong. If they have, I'll send a bolt of lightning to strike them down! Let's see if they dare bully you again.

Yue Fuguang quickly stopped him, saying, "Little Pearl, don't do anything rash. If he's not a good person, we'll expose all the bad things he's done. Please don't startle us like this, it'll scare ordinary people."

Hearing their conversation, everyone who could hear their inner thoughts was startled and broke out in a cold sweat.

They also cast sympathetic glances at Zhao Xu, the supervising censor who was the mastermind behind the impeachment of Yue Fuguang, and Feng Kun and Zhu Xin, the assistant ministers of the Ministry of Rites.

If these three people are clean, that's fine; but if they aren't...

With two prime ministers stepping forward to lend their support, the matter was considered closed, and others began to submit other memorials.

Just then, the system's cheerful voice rang out, so loud that it drowned out the voice of the person who was speaking.

Of course, this applies to those who can hear one's innermost thoughts.

Those who couldn't hear it saw that when Lord Wu presented his memorial, several officials around him simultaneously frowned, their faces showing confusion.

After listening more closely, they realized that there was nothing wrong with what Lord Wu said, so what did these officials mean by frowning?

Could there be a problem with what Lord Wu said? But wasn't this already agreed upon with His Majesty long ago?

His Majesty has agreed, do you dare to object?

If you look closely, you'll find that those who are frowning are the 'sick' ones, but it seems like a few more have joined today.

These people were complaining with them yesterday, and they've already caught it today?

【Master, I've discovered that this Censor Zhao Xu is quite something. Don't be fooled by his outwardly serious, rigid, and seemingly the most upright and courteous man in the entire Great Yan Dynasty. In reality, he's a hypocrite, a beast in human clothing!】

Moonlight's interest was instantly piqued, and she couldn't help but ask, "Tell me in detail, how exactly does this Lord Zhao Xu behave as a beast in human clothing?"

This Lord Zhao came from a poor family, and he was able to pass the imperial examinations successfully entirely because he married the illegitimate daughter of a salt merchant.

For this reason, he was afraid of being accused of being after the woman's dowry, so he created a persona for himself that he and his wife were mutually in love and that he loved his wife as much as his own life after marriage.

Even though his wife had been married for three years without bearing him any children, he did not take another woman as a concubine, which earned him an excellent reputation.

Zhang Xu thus relied on his first wife's dowry to rise from a scholar to a high-ranking official. After achieving fame and success, he fulfilled the saying, "Upon reaching the shore, he first slept with the woman he longed for."

Not long after he passed the imperial examination, he began to despise his wife, who was a merchant's daughter and whom he felt was not worthy of him, a scholar who had passed the imperial examination twice.

Another reason was that he didn't want his colleagues to know that he had gotten the job by relying on his wife's dowry, so he restricted his wife from attending any banquets with his colleagues' wives.

At this time, Zhang Xu cultivated an image among his colleagues of being aloof, self-disciplined, incorruptible, and not greedy for material desires.

So, in the year he passed the imperial examination, his wife, who had shared his hardships, died from a cold, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter and a two-year-old son.

With his lowly wife gone, Zhao Xu longed to marry a noblewoman from the capital. Unfortunately, he was of average appearance, his only assets were his deceased wife's dowry, and he had two children. No noblewoman of any standing would consider marrying him.

He wasted almost a year like this, not good at business but also having to deal with his colleagues, and he was also recklessly generous in order to save face.

However, a year ago, most of the dowry left by his wife had disappeared, and just when he was about to fall into financial difficulties, his father-in-law came knocking on his door.

It turned out that at this time, his wife's family discovered that their daughter's death was suspicious, and used this as leverage to force Zhang Xu to marry a woman from the Qian family.

To put it more nicely, the maternal grandparents felt sorry for the two children left behind by their first daughter, so they let the younger sister marry into the family to help take care of the older sister's young children.

To avoid further complications, and with no better option, Zhao Xu had no choice but to remarry the youngest daughter of a salt merchant whose dowry was even more substantial.

"He's just a gigolo. He ruined his wife to find someone better, and I haven't seen him spend any money on her at all!"

Master, let me tell you slowly! This Zhao Xu, with the dowry of his current wife, suddenly became rich again.

He looked down on people from poor families and envied noble families. He comfortably spent the dowries of his two wives and brought concubines home one after another.

He was a regular at brothels, but he always maintained a dignified and respectable demeanor.

His act fooled many people, especially his colleagues who also came from humble backgrounds.
