What day is today.

Duke Anguo Luo Chuannan attended the morning court session, contrary to his usual practice, and even the female commander stationed at the border of Youzhou came back.

Everyone looked at each other, and felt that something big was happening in the parliament.

Song Shiwen's expression changed slightly as he watched Liang Qingwu walk to the top position of military commanders. Since the Fourth Prince Xiang Wang was not there, she was the number one person in the military of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Thinking of Old Wu's death, Song Shiwen could hardly suppress his anger. He said bluntly, "A general stationed at the border is not allowed to leave his station without imperial orders, let alone return to the capital. How dare you come back so suddenly? I will definitely report you to the court."

Wu Wenhui's death was a loss that could not be said in silence. At least we can't say anything about it now, but we can never give in either.

Before, Song Shiwen wanted to win over Liang Qingwu to join the prince's camp, so he was hesitant. Now it's nothing to tear his face apart. He is the prime minister of the dynasty, so how could he be afraid?

"Since I took over as the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army, His Majesty has granted me the right to report border affairs to the capital at any time... It's normal for the Prime Minister to be unaware of military affairs."

Liang Qingwu said calmly, "If the Prime Minister doesn't believe me, you can impeach me at court."

Song Shiwen suddenly stopped talking.

The border situation is complicated, and Liang Qingwu, commanding the Northern Army, can make independent decisions on the war with Northern Wei. Perhaps this is why His Majesty has granted her special permission.

Why did she come back suddenly?

Song Shiwen frowned. She hadn't heard anything about what had happened on the border recently. Could it be that he had returned specifically to prevent His Royal Highness the Crown Prince from taking up his post as pacification envoy? That was impossible. She had already submitted a memorial.

It is already an act of usurpation for a female general stationed on the border to interfere in the appointment and dismissal of the imperial court, so what else can happen?

Song Shiwen had a bad feeling in his heart.

There is another thing that is worth Liang Qingwu coming back for... Could it be that one?

Everyone entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony one by one. At this time, the red sun was rising, and the first ray of sunlight penetrated the night sky, and the golden light sprinkled on the glazed tiles of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

The roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony is covered with yellow glazed tiles. Under the sunlight, the tiles seem to be on fire, emitting a golden glow.

The red walls of the temple appear even more solemn under the morning sun.

The court officials entered the hall one by one and lined up in two rows. The scene was silent and no one spoke.

Not long after, Emperor Yuan Jing, Mu Yuanhao, walked in from behind, surrounded by several eunuchs. He was wearing a bright yellow robe embroidered with a pattern of a soaring dragon in the sea. However, he was thin, so the robe looked a little loose on him, with a feeling of fluttering sleeves.

He is forty-five years old this year, in the prime of his life, but due to excessive indulgence in alcohol and sex, he looks old.

Everyone immediately knelt down quietly, not daring to make any sound for fear of disturbing the emperor.

"cough."

"cough."

Emperor Yuan Jing coughed twice, and the eunuch beside him immediately stepped forward, bent down and cupped his hands. Emperor Yuan Jing spat the phlegm in his throat into his hands, and then walked to the throne in the center.

He did not sit down, but held the armrest of the throne with one hand and looked indifferently at the person kneeling on the ground below.

At this time, Song Shiwen took the lead in shouting: "Long live our emperor! Long live! Long, long live!"

"Long live! Long live! Long, long live!" The shouts rang out in unison like a tidal wave, and everyone kowtowed in unison.

"Stand up."

Emperor Yuan Jing's faint voice was heard before he sat on the throne.

Then, Crown Prince Mu Yunyin sat on the throne. Mu Yunyin was tall and well-proportioned. He wore luxurious and exquisite clothes and had an extraordinary temperament.

His forehead is broad and full, which is what is called a full forehead in physiognomy. Since he was born, a physiognomist has seen that he is born to be an emperor. As the crown prince, Mu Yunyin is the only person sitting besides the emperor.

The court meeting officially began.

"If you have something to report, please come forward. If not, please dismiss the court." The sharp voice of Huai'en, the eunuch who was accompanying the court, spread. This was of course nonsense. Since it was a court meeting, how could there be no problems?

Emperor Yuan Jing was becoming increasingly lazy in his administration, changing his daily court meetings to every five days, and the last court meeting was ten days ago.

As the prime minister of the time, Song Shiwen was the first to report to the court at every meeting. This was also an unwritten rule.

Today's court meeting was mainly to announce the candidate for the Pacification Envoy. He wanted to bring this matter to light and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take this position.

But just as he took a step forward, someone had already stepped forward.

"Your humble servant, I have something to report!"

The voice came from behind, and everyone subconsciously turned around. The person who walked out of the class was a seventh-rank censor named Tang Shun.

Usually only officials of the fourth rank and above in Beijing or local areas were eligible to attend court. However, the Censors were special because they were censors.

The Great Zhou established the Censorate, which was responsible for supervision, impeachment, and suggestions. The chief official was the Chief Censor, who was known as the Seven Ministers together with the six ministers. Under him were the Deputy Chief Censor, the Associate Chief Censor, and the Supervisory Censor.

They formed a huge system of censors, most of whom were of low or even very low rank, but had prominent status.

This is also the reason why the Censor, who is only a seventh-rank official, is also qualified to attend court.

Everyone was surprised. It was not common for the Censor to report directly, and it was even rarer for him to report before the Prime Minister and many bigwigs. He stood up first clearly in order to be the first to do so.

It goes without saying that this is an important matter to report.

As the chief minister, Song Shiwen had the responsibility to maintain order in the court. He was about to shout at Tang Shun, but Tang Shun had already spoken.

"Your Majesty, I, Tang Shun, the Censor of Jiangzhou, have an important report to make. I impeach the current Prime Minister, Song Shiwen, for corruption in his hometown of Ji County, seizing fertile farmland, oppressing the people, disregarding human life, and embezzling public property... His crimes are heinous, and I have evidence of his crimes. Your Majesty, please investigate thoroughly!"

Tang Shunfu knelt on the ground and shouted.

"If Song Shiwen's crimes are not thoroughly investigated, it will be unjust!"
