Zhao Xin found himself transmigrated into a novel, becoming the great villain, a delusional tyrant. This tyrant was obsessed with wine and women, lingering in the imperial harem and never attending...
Feng Zhong had no place to make trouble because he was excused from court, and this person happened to come up to him, which gave Feng Zhong an opportunity.
Without giving the man a chance to catch his breath, his face suddenly turned serious and he shouted in a stern voice: "You idiot, since you have read the books of the sages, don't you know that there can be no two suns in the sky and no two rulers in a country?!"
This loud shout instantly attracted everyone's attention, and many people changed color.
The man was the first to be hit, and was frightened by Feng Zhong's bloodshot eyes, and subconsciously took a step back.
Seeing this, another member of the Cui family stepped forward, glared at Feng Zhong and shouted, "Mr. Feng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. The emperor is in power, Prime Minister Cui is assisting him with all his might, and all the officials in the court are working tirelessly. How can there be any talk of two days, two emperors?"
You are a famous scholar and a high-ranking official in the imperial court, yet you are roaring wantonly in this Purple Palace. I think this is disrespecting the emperor, isn't it? "
As soon as this person said this, all members of the Cui family echoed him.
"Haha, what a great Prime Minister Cui is, willing to assist us!"
Feng Zhong burst into laughter when he heard this.
Then he suddenly took a step forward, raised his finger and pointed at the man, cursing loudly: "Cui is just a traitor to the country, how can you say you are wholeheartedly assisting him?"
"you!"
All the followers of the Cui family were furious when they heard this. In the court, Cui Cen did not move at all, like a clay or wooden sculpture, but a cold light flashed in his half-closed eyes.
When the others heard this, their expressions changed.
No one expected that Feng Zhong would be so decisive and directly call out the traitors.
Cui Zhihao in the crowd sneered and looked at Feng Zhong with a bad look.
"Feng Shaoqing, I respect your age and call you Shaoqing, but please don't be ungrateful!"
Feng Zhong laughed again upon hearing this, "You bastard, who do you think you are? You're just a young boy, uneducated and without any achievements, yet you actually managed to seize the position of one of the Nine Ministers. Your existence is irrefutable proof that you, the Cui family, are traitors to the country!
How dare you be so shameless as to bark and howl in front of me?!"
"you!"
Cui Zhihao pointed with his finger, then suddenly burst into laughter. "I was wondering why you, Feng Shaoqing, wanted to stand out. It turns out you're jealous of me being able to hold the position of Nine Ministers. Why didn't you say so earlier..."
He was halfway through his words when he suddenly felt someone pulling him. He turned around and saw that it was Cui Zhihan, who was looking at him coldly.
Cui Zhihao was still a little confused.
"What if I had told you earlier?"
Feng Zhong sneered again, pointed at those Cui family members, and said contemptuously, "Do you still expect me to be as shameless as them and kneel down on the steps of your Cui family and beg for mercy?"
"I'm telling you, forget it!"
Feng Zhong's face darkened again as he spoke, and he raised his head and chest, his gaze sweeping across the entire court, "Although I am of humble rank, I receive a salary from the royal family and have received the grace of the Great Qin Emperor for generations.
But it’s not the leftovers of your Cui family!
Not to mention begging for mercy from your Cui family for those scraps of leftovers!"
"because……"
Feng Zhong pointed to his spine and said, "I have a bone growing here!"
"good!"
As soon as these words were spoken, all the followers of the Cui family in the court turned red in the face, and some of them could hardly stand, but there were also people in the crowd who could not help but cheer loudly.
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was the Grand Herald Zhao Ben.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Zhao Ben did not avoid them. Instead, he walked up to Feng Zhong and bowed deeply.
"Feng Jijiu is worthy of the title of a famous Confucian scholar. Ben is inferior to him!"
After these words were spoken, many upright officials present hesitated for a moment and then bowed to Feng Zhong.
And those doctors who had come with Feng Zhong looked at Feng Zhong with shining eyes.
Feng Zhong stepped back to avoid it.
He bowed to Zhao Ben and the others and said, "I don't deserve it.
As a minister, Feng Zhong saw that the traitor used the name of the empress dowager to deceive the world and used his position as a minister to bully the emperor.
He formed a clique to attack dissidents, controlled the government and bullied the ministers.
He regarded the imperial titles and rank as personal favors and disregarded moral principles and ethics.
Although I am filled with sorrow and indignation, I dare not stand up and speak out. How can I accept your great honor?"
Everyone was ashamed when they heard this.
Zhao Ben and the others smiled bitterly and said, "Master Feng's words really make us feel ashamed."
However, all the followers of the Cui family were in a state of panic.
Cao Xiong, who had originally looked down on Feng Zhong, looked at Feng Zhong at this time, his eyes filled with deep shock.
Looking at those followers of the Cui family who were in panic because of Feng Zhong's words, it was hard to describe the feeling in their hearts. They never thought that someone could actually make the entire court change color with just a mouth.
Feng Zhong broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about how he had dared to scold the other party before.
I made up my mind that I would never provoke this old guy unless it was absolutely necessary.
Among the Cui family, Cui Zhihan took a deep breath when he saw this. He quietly approached Cui Cen and whispered, "Sir, we can't let this old man continue talking!"
At this moment, he suddenly felt fortunate that the emperor was not in court today, otherwise the plan might not go smoothly.
Although the Cui family has many followers, if they rely solely on insults, a group of people may not be able to defeat this old man.
After a long time without seeing Cui Cen's response, he couldn't help but feel surprised.
When he looked up, his face changed color again. He saw that although his father's face looked unchanged, his sleeves were shaking slightly.
Not only was I angry, I was also scared.
Or both.
After hesitating for a moment, he said again: "Sir."
"ah--"
Cui Cen finally came back to his senses, his expression changed slightly, and then he took a deep breath and said, "Let's go back to the mansion!"
Then he said in a very low voice: "Help me."
Cui Zhihan was stunned for a moment, then quietly reached out to hold Cui Cen's arm, and walked out of the hall without saying anything.
To outsiders, it seemed as if the two were walking side by side, and they didn't think much about it. No one knew that Prime Minister Cui was actually trembling at this moment, and he finally recovered until he was outside the hall.
His eyes regained their coldness, and he whispered in an imperceptible voice, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Feng family, young and old, and also have someone draft a letter of resignation."
"What?"
Cui Zhihan was surprised when he heard this and said in a panic, "Father..."
Cui Cen glanced at him coldly and scolded in a low voice: "Why are you panicking? I haven't finished speaking yet."
"yes."
Cui Zhihan felt relieved after hearing this... Fortunately, his father was still calm.
As long as my father doesn't cause trouble, Feng Zhong can't do anything to the Cui family.
Cui Cen glanced at him and said nothing more, simply continuing, "Also, tell your brother and the others not to argue with old Feng Zhong anymore."
As he spoke, his eyes changed slightly, as if thinking of something, and he sighed, "It's a pity that I didn't adopt Wenshan's strategy of retreating to advance sooner, otherwise I wouldn't be in such a passive position."
Cui Zhihan's expression changed slightly when he heard this, and then hesitantly asked, "Should we go to the palace to ask to see the Queen Mother?"
"it's useless."
Cui Cen shook his head, but then added, "Send a letter to the Queen Mother later to inform her of my illness. That will be all."
