Chapter 93 What are you barking about?
No wonder he sent a young prostitute to Lord Song, Lord Song was so angry and warned him sternly not to send one again. He really was too smart...
He must not tell anyone about it, not even in front of his cousin.
This is a secret that cannot be made public for the royal family.
Once he leaks anything, he will lose not only his future but also his head.
…
The next day.
The fact that Gong Mingyuan and Chu Yuni were punished one after another became a hot topic of discussion among all officials on their way to the court meeting.
"First, Minister Gong was punished, and then the new recruit specially recruited by Prime Minister Song was punished. It seems that His Majesty is deliberately trying to punish Prime Minister Song."
"That's right. Although the turmoil in the Chu family has subsided, the officials who were on good terms with Prime Minister Song that day were too impatient and jumped out one after another. Although the Minister of the Ministry of Rites was wrong, they shouldn't have colluded so blatantly in the court. They were too proud and made His Majesty unhappy."
"Your Majesty's punishment of Minister Gong is quite lenient. If you allow Prime Minister Song and his party to continue to be complacent, they will sooner or later make bigger mistakes. By then, it won't be as simple as a few slaps. Who knows, the fate of the Minister of the Ministry of Rites may become theirs one day."
As everyone talked about this, there was a hint of gloating in their tone.
Your Majesty has been busy since he ascended the throne. He is most concerned about the people's livelihood issues in various parts of Tianqi Kingdom. It is inevitable that there will be omissions in some memorials impeaching officials. Fortunately, they have finally waited for the day when Gong Mingyuan will be punished, and it is worth their efforts to impeach Gong Mingyuan so many times.
"I have long advised Minister Gong that being overly arrogant will bring you trouble sooner or later."
"Haha, I haven't seen Minister Gong for two days. I really missed him. I wonder if he will be more careful with his bad mouth after he recovers from his injury and comes back."
Everyone was discussing with great delight, when suddenly many of them fell silent.
The two ministers who were mocking Gong Mingyuan turned around and saw Song Yunchu walking over the threshold of the hall with a cold expression.
No wonder the noise behind him became much quieter. These cowardly officials did not dare to laugh at the Song Party in front of Song Yunchu.
Mocking behind someone's back and keeping silent in front of them is truly spineless.
"Master Song is here. Why do you look a little unhappy?"
Song Yunchu glanced at Master Deng who was speaking.
She just glanced at him lightly, her eyes were both cold and disdainful, as if she was too lazy to communicate with him too much.
She was in a very bad mood today.
It would be fine if the dog emperor punished Gong Mingyuan. After all, Gong Mingyuan had been hated by the civil officials for a long time. He had just had a good time arguing and scolding with others. Now he was beaten with ten boards and fined one year's salary. It was the price he paid.
But the dog emperor beat Chu Yuni with twenty sticks. What does that mean?
The Chu family is just a merchant family. They do business honestly. They were framed not long ago and suffered considerable losses. They finally cleared themselves of the injustice and deserve everyone's sympathy.
After punishing Gong Mingyuan, the dog emperor punished Chu Yuni, and his implication of punishing her was too obvious.
One is her most diligent subordinate, and the other is someone she just recruited. With such a punishment, the officials nearby must be laughing so hard in private, right?
Just as Song Yunchu was thinking this, Master Deng's sermon rang in his ears again -
"I have long reminded Lord Song that climbing high can easily lead to a heavy fall. If you are too eager to take the lead in everything, sooner or later you will..."
"Shut up your crow mouth."
Song Yunchu interrupted him with a sneer, "You are a second-rank scholar, why are you barking like a dog in front of a first-rank official like me?"
Since they are opponents, she will not indulge him just because he is older.
The other party didn't expect her to speak so vulgarly, and his face turned pale.
This Song guy has just been punished by His Majesty, doesn't he know how to restrain himself? How can he still be so rampant?
This domineering attitude has not diminished in the slightest compared to before.
"Why, don't you know how to write the words 'rebellion against superiors'? You have been an official for more than 30 years, and you have not been able to get a first-rank position. You are barking at me with your eyes wide open. Do you feel a sense of accomplishment in this?"
"Think carefully about how capable you are before you come and shout. My subordinates made a mistake and were punished by His Majesty. His Majesty is always clear about rewards and punishments. I have nothing to say. Anyway, I am not the one who is unlucky."
As Song Yunchu spoke, he calmed down a little and smiled, "If you can make His Majesty punish me, then you will be considered capable."
She was already unhappy, and when someone came up to her and asked her to scold her, why should she be polite?
Mr. Deng was choked by her words and his face turned red and his neck became thick.
The official who had just discussed Gong Mingyuan with him did not say anything else.
Indeed, no matter how hard His Majesty criticized Prime Minister Song, he still did not punish him. This shows that his position will be difficult to shake in a short period of time.
No wonder this guy can still be so rampant.
Seeing that the other party was no longer arguing, Song Yunchu sneered and returned to his seat.
When Jun Li Luo arrived at the hall, he almost immediately noticed that Song Yunchu was in an unhappy mood.
She remained as calm as usual, and saluted him along with all the other officials, but there was a rare chill in her eyes as she looked at him.
Jun Liluo was immediately puzzled.
He hadn't seen Song Yunchu for two days. Yesterday, he heard that Song Yunchu had a stomachache, so he sent someone to the prime minister's residence to deliver tonic and express his sympathy. Why did this guy look at him like this when he was standing in the hall today?
