Obviously, this is the document of petitioning the emperor that has just been received.

Zhao Jiu didn't take it seriously at first, so he took it and opened it to read. But after just a glance, he suddenly realized what Ma Shen had done, and he was also completely furious! And this time, the anger caused by Wang Shun's actions a few days ago was even greater!

But he had been the emperor for many years after all, and he was well trained. He still did not show it on his face. He just casually put the document away in public, glanced at Ma Shen lightly, and continued to ride forward.

According to political rules, he should have handed the document to the ministers for their review, but none of the ministers asked for it. Even Ma Shen unexpectedly did not say a word. He just slowed down the speed of the mule under his crotch and returned to the queue behind the ministers... and his face was still gloomy.

Now, regardless of the emperor and the prime ministers, only looking at the expression of Minister Ma, the important officials in the front row all knew that something had happened, but they could only pretend not to know, and then force themselves to be strong, urge their mounts, and follow Emperor Zhao back to the east... As long as they reached the Xuande Tower and entered the Xuande Gate, they could take advantage of the situation to disperse and then go to inquire privately.

However, when the imperial carriage arrived in front of Xuande Tower, another small accident occurred.

A flying bird was startled by the ceremonial guard and flew out from the doorway of Xuande Tower, almost floating away in front of Emperor Zhao. This was not a problem, but the key point was that the horse under Emperor Zhao's crotch was not a famous horse at all, but just an ordinary horse. When it was rushed by the bird, although it did not lose control, it actually staggered for a moment and dared not to go into the doorway.

Zhao Jiu urged the horse several times but it wouldn't move forward. He became angry and simply dismounted, preparing to walk into the palace. The other officials had no choice but to dismount from their mules and horses as well.

At this time, perhaps the old problem came back. After getting off the horse, the Minister of Works and the Left Minister Gou Longruyuan could not help laughing and said: "Your Majesty, this imperial horse must have seen so many rewards from the emperor at Yuetai, and he also wants to ask for a reward or even a status..."

madness!

Too much!

Countless people mocked the new minister in their hearts.

As expected, Zhao Jiu finally turned back indifferently, glanced at Gou Longruyuan, then looked at the horse, but then glanced at several prime ministers and ministers, and finally looked at Yang Yizhong on the side, and coldly ordered:

"For a mere horse, you ask for a reward for no reason. Where do you put the soldiers in the imperial camp? Kill this horse and display its head to the public!"

After saying this, the official walked straight into the palace.

Seeing this, Gou Longruyuan was stunned, then turned pale, and stood there in shock, while other important ministers were also pale... They could indeed see that the emperor was in a bad mood, and they also saw that Gou Longruyuan had gone too far and offended the emperor, but no matter what, they never thought that things would come to this point.

The emperor disappeared directly into the huge gate tower, leaving only the guards and officials outside the gate. Yang Yi Zhong looked at Liu Yan beside him, feeling helpless. He called two guards to remove the saddle stirrups first, and then Liu Yan personally grabbed the horse's head. Yang Yi Zhong personally drew his sword, and with a wave of his hand, he killed the imperial horse in front of Xuan De Tower.

The horse's head rolled and blood flowed all over the ground. A group of people stepped forward to "hang the horse's head for public display". Seeing Yang and Liu bowing and bidding farewell to the ministers with blood on their faces, and then hurried into the palace, all the officials were shocked and talked about it, and became more and more speculative... On the other hand, Zhao Jiu returned to the palace, but did not go to the harem to rest. Instead, he went to the stone pavilion in the backyard, and there with a grim face he opened the document handed by Ma Shen, and then read it carefully.

What was written in the document was actually very, very simple. Zhao Jiu had known it after taking a look at it twice before. There was nothing strange about it now... It was nothing more than that several Fujian scholars in Beijing were greatly encouraged after they had filed a petition to the emperor last time to resolve the problem of the foreign temple. Then they continued their efforts and carried forward the Song Dynasty's tradition of not kneeling in front of the emperor for speaking out, and once again impeached a very famous unfilial son in their Fujian.

According to the documents, this unfilial son achieved success and fame at an early age, and held a high position in the government, but he never took care of his father and mother, and even expressed resentment towards his parents many times. He was extremely unfilial and should be removed from his position to set things right.

Ethics and filial piety have always been the topics that these scholars like to discuss. Countryside scholars have their own tradition of maintaining discipline, and this is also common. Moreover, impeaching high-ranking officials for being unfilial... as long as they are not retaliated against, then success or failure can bring fame, so there is no need to mention it.

But these are not the key points. The key point is that this unfilial son is called Hu Yin. He is the Minister of Works of the current dynasty, the last of the three heroes of the Imperial College in the past, and a close and trusted minister of Emperor Zhao.

In addition, Zhao Jiu had guessed from the beginning that the impeachment letter from the folk party in Fujian was probably true rather than false - Hu Yin's bad temper and stinky face made him look like an "unfilial son".
