Chapter 40 Soup Sprayer

This Jingguo troll criticizes the emperor and her colleagues. There is nothing she dares not to criticize except what she wants to criticize.

Ever since Jinghan returned to the palace, she was busy eating melons and forgot her "duties" for a while. She had been holding it in for two days, but this time she finally couldn't hold it in anymore.

She stood out from the ranks of officials with a serious face and sharp eyes.

Jing Chengji felt pain in his eyes as soon as he saw this person.

"Your Highness, I think this is inappropriate!"

Jinghan turned around and saw that it was the Censor Tang Peng.

Immediately, Jinghan's face turned bitter.

Bowed.

"Master Tang, what advice do you have?!"

[This Lord Tang has been so quiet these past two days that I almost forgot about her!]

Tang Peng's face darkened.

"Your Highness, there is no order without rules. Furthermore, time flies by, so how can we afford to waste it?! Since ancient times, countless scholars have spent decades or even decades of hard work to become pillars of the court. Therefore, even if you are an official, you cannot afford to slack off every day!"

"Your Majesty, the entire Jing Kingdom depends on you. If everyone sleeps until noon and goes to bed before dark, where will the food come from? Where will the Jing Kingdom be today?! Therefore, I do not agree with Your Highness!"

"besides......"

After Tang Peng scolded Jing Han, he scolded Jing Chengji.

But what the other person said was quite reasonable. Although Jing Chengji was unhappy, he could not deny that what Tang Peng said was unreasonable.

All officials looked at their noses with their eyes and their hearts with their noses, pretending to be wooden men.

In short, they don't want to get involved in this mess.

It’s not that they don’t want to help, but they are actually afraid of what Lord Tang says.

"Tang Penzi, no, Lord Tang..."

【I accidentally said what was in my heart! 】

“Puff~”

“Puff~”

Several people couldn't hold back their laughter and burst out laughing.

When Tang Peng heard this, his face turned dark.

"Your Highness, please speak!"

"Lord Tang, I'm not suggesting you slack off on important court matters, but rather that we complete our work effectively within the limited time available. Furthermore, while working hours are long these days, that doesn't mean everyone is utilizing every minute effectively. Why drag out work that could be completed in four hours for five or six?! That's a true waste of time."

Many civil and military officials in the court nodded secretly.

What Her Royal Highness said makes sense.

But they remained silent, and simply turned their attention to Tang Peng, waiting to see how she would defend herself.

"Your Highness, this is wrong! Just like Your Majesty, you receive hundreds of memorials every day. Even if Your Majesty races against time, you may not be able to handle all the government affairs within four hours. Moreover, in addition to memorials, there are other important matters that Your Majesty needs to deal with."

Jinghan immediately took over.

"There's always work to do, but you need to plan your time accordingly. The most important tasks should be handled first, and so on. This way, Your Majesty can both take a break and better handle state affairs. What do you think?! And so should all of you. Only with good health can you better serve the Kingdom of Jing. If you're unwell, even if you have many ambitions in your heart, it's probably difficult to achieve them. Isn't that a loss?"

"Even livestock need to be used and rested and provided with good fodder, let alone humans?!"

Tang Peng couldn't think of any rebuttal for a moment.

After Jing Han finished speaking, he did not forget to praise Tang Peng.

"Of course, Lord Tang, I understand your sincerity towards the Kingdom of Jing. If you were not around to remind us from time to time, it would be a huge loss for the Kingdom of Jing!"

After Jing Han finished speaking, he leaned forward and bowed to Tang Peng.

Tang Peng quickly turned sideways, but she did feel much more relieved.

She also knew that it was annoying for her to stand up and preach from time to time, but this was her duty as an imperial censor.

Jing Chengji also smiled and nodded.

"Lord Tang, I am so lucky to have you!"

Tang Peng's face turned red with excitement. This was the first time that His Majesty praised her. She knew very well that sometimes His Majesty hated her so much that he gritted his teeth.

"Using a bronze mirror, one can adjust their attire; using history as a mirror, one can understand the rise and fall of things; using people as a mirror, one can understand gains and losses!" When Wei Zheng passed away, the great emperor Li Shimin said this. Although Wei Zheng often drove Li Shimin to tears when he was alive, Li Shimin wept even more bitterly after Wei Zheng's death, saying he had lost an important mirror! I think Lord Tang can be compared to Wei Zheng!

Although the officials did not know the history of the other world, they could get a glimpse of it from Jinghan's thoughts.

However, Tang Peng was not as powerful as Wei Zheng, who made His Majesty cry many times, and his head was still on his neck.

Tang Peng said that his heart was excited and his body was trembling.

This is simply the greatest compliment to her.

The man named Wei Zheng was an official of the greatest emperor in history.

Tang Peng set a great ambition here. She must urge His Majesty more and become a minister of the emperor who will be remembered throughout history.

An emperor who does not want to be the greatest emperor of all time is not a good emperor.

Jing Chengji's heart was filled with excitement. He was the greatest emperor of all time. Good, Lord Tang, you scolded me well, so that I wouldn't lose my mind and become a foolish emperor.

However, that so-called greatest emperor of all time was too shameful for an emperor to cry. It was really hard to understand.

However, Li Erfeng was indeed an emperor with a lot of emotions. He cried when he was criticized by Wei trolls, and he cried when his brothers who fought for the country together died! He was also the only emperor who did not abandon his meritorious officials!

The most important thing for the civil and military officials in the court is not whether they are valued by the emperor, but whether they can gain the emperor's trust.

Military generals, in particular, were most afraid that the emperor would become suspicious and abandon them.

Anyway, all the civil and military officials in the court envied the official named Emperor Li Shimin whom Jing Han mentioned after hearing what he said.

In the end, people just want a good ending.

[Hmm~ My mother seems to think so too!]

When all the civil and military officials in the court thought of His Majesty's broad-mindedness, they immediately stopped envying Li Shimin's officials.

Hehe, they also have such a broad-minded Majesty!

Especially old ministers like Huo Liang and Wei Yuzhi. If Jing Chengji is narrow-minded, she may neglect to trust them after she ascends the throne because they were once ministers of the previous emperor.

But Jing Chengji is not like that. She never uses people she doubts, and never doubts people she uses.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the court was very harmonious.

However, Tang Peng still broke the rare harmonious atmosphere.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, even if you praise me, I still oppose Your Highness's proposal!"
