Shock! The prince was trying to scam people in the street, but it was because...

Xu Yanmiao thought that the King of Jin was really unreasonable.

[I saved him by accident, but he turned his back on me and gave me such a big hot potato! ]

The stake was given last night, and the things were handed in when I went to court in the morning.

Now that he is still in the court, Xu Yanmiao complained a few words in his heart, and he didn't dare to show too much expression on his face.

Then he raised his head: "???"

[Huh? Did you talk about some important government affairs just now? Let me see... nothing? ]

[I am frowning because of the stake, why are so many officials frowning? One or two people can be said to have a family accident, but it is not possible that all families have a family accident, right? 】

On the spot, Yu Shi stood up and said, "Your Majesty! I have something to report!"

The ministers: Oh no!

In the past, when the situation happened, they all looked tense, fearing that the fire would burn on them, or that some factions would confront each other, and they should charge in or be cautious to avoid being affected by the fire at the city gate.

Now...

let's see which unlucky person is being pulled out to divert Xiao Bai Ze's attention!

Yu Shi: "I want to impeach the Marquis of Yongchang."

The ministers: Oh no!

It turned out to be this unlucky person!

The Marquis of Yongchang trembled his beard and looked confused.

No way, he has even walked lightly recently, and he went to the palace as soon as he left the court. He was calm no matter what happened on the way. How could he be impeached?

Yu Shi: "During the war against Japan, Marquis Yongchang built a giant Jingguan with tens of thousands of enemy corpses, is that true or not?"

Jingguan is a pile of enemy corpses piled up into a high hill and covered with a layer of loose soil to show off their slaughter.

It has always been regarded as a brutal and barbaric practice and has been criticized.

If it were in the past, Marquis Yongchang would always disdain such impeachment. After all, he had military merits. Would Your Majesty still bother him because the enemy could not be buried in peace!

But now…

Marquis Yongchang was feeling guilty and short of breath: “It is true, but I… I did it to intimidate the enemy…”

The historian interrupted him mercilessly, but his tone of questioning was gentle: “Massacre in the city can also intimidate the enemy, and throwing the enemy’s corpse into the city can also intimidate the enemy, why did you choose Jingguan alone?”

——Of course, the historian did not support the massacre in the city. If Marquis Yongchang massacred the city, he would still impeach him.

Marquis Yongchang was like a cat being strangled by the back of the neck, his eyes were darting, and he was speechless.

Yu Shifeng's sharp eyes passed over his face: "Because Jingguan is elegance in savagery, restraint in cruelty, it can show off military prowess better than massacring a city and make the locals unable to live in peace. Massacring a city can only shock people for a while, and piling up rotten corpses into a tower can suppress the local people's hearts for a long time."

In short, don't talk about shocking people, who doesn't know who, but just to satisfy their own vanity and desires, they regard it as a "monument".

Yongchang Hou felt that it didn't matter how cruel he treated the enemy, and he didn't massacre civilians, but just killed the captives - killing prisoners was indeed immoral, but anyway, they were not Chinese.

In fact, he could refute if he wanted to, for example, he insisted that he built Jingguan just to scare the Japanese for a long time, so as to prevent them from rebelling in the future. However, thinking that it was an extraordinary period, Yongchang Hou opened his mouth, but still held back his words of rebuttal, and said sullenly: "It is indeed my fault about Jingguan. China is a country of etiquette, and we should be lenient to captives..."

Yu Shi agreed: "Yes, there are 50,000 natives, how could you kill them all? They are all strong men, and they can dig gold and silver for decades if they are forced to do so."

Yu Shi shook his head: "Jingguan is still too cruel."

Others: "..."

If those people knew that the price of survival was to dig for decades, they might think it is better to die.

——Of course, some people may think that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death.

Yongchang Hou sighed with deep emotion: "You are right, I am still too barbaric."

When it comes to sharpening people with a blunt knife, you have to look at these literati.

Xu Yanmiao watched intently, and his expression gradually became enlightened.

[If this is the case, then the best punishment for Yongchang Hou is to let him demolish the Jingguan, burn the corpses, and clean up the land? ]

[The land is soaked in blood, and the color of that piece of land is black. We have to dig up that piece of land, right? The smell of blood is so strong...]

Xu Lang, how did you learn from Yu Shi!

——Don't learn everything! ! !

Yongchang Hou's hands trembled, as pitiful as he could be. The inner cry almost came out of his face.

The old emperor's eyes lit up.

This is a really good idea! He was reluctant to punish his beloved general for the sake of Jingguan, but Jingguan was like a massacre in the city, and it would be inappropriate not to take a stand.

And there was no need to dig the soil, that piece of land was just right for farming, watered with blood and filled with meat, and it was also excellent fertilizer for flowers.

Thinking about some horrible things, the old emperor said nonchalantly: "Marquis Yongchang, you built the Jingguan, and you are responsible for dismantling it. Is there a problem?"

The strong body of the Marquis Yongchang shrunk aggrievedly: "Your Majesty, no problem, I still have some strength and can clean up the Jingguan."

Just at this time, Xu Yanmiao's muttering voice came: [I don't care about morality or immorality for Japan, but if the corpse is not handled properly, it will cause plague, and the Chinese will be exiled to that place in the future. ]

[Besides, I don't know if the plague will drift to the mainland along the sea. ]

[Look back and see if I can remind them. ]

The Marquis Yongchang suddenly fell silent.

The other ministers were silent too.

They really didn't think of this.

It's been seven months, so there shouldn't be any problem...right?

The old emperor thought about it and decided to let Princess Jin go with him to see how things are going - isn't she a skilled doctor? It's just right, we can't just let her go for nothing. She has to be of some use.

Xu Yanmiao also thought about the fact that seven months had passed.

【Hey! Wait! It's been seven months, how come someone just impeached the Yongchang Marquis? Is it because the news is slow to spread across the sea?】

The ruler and his ministers of Daxia were calm and collected.

This is nothing. In the officialdom, let alone seven months, if someone wants to deal with you, they can dig up things from seven years ago.

——They saw at a glance that the Yongchang Marquis must have offended someone, otherwise it wouldn't have taken seven months for someone to bring it up.

It's not a big deal...

【Oh my!】

【Someone is secretly reselling military pay and weapons! The Yongchang Marquis' adopted son found some clues and wanted to use the Jingguan incident to cause trouble for the Yongchang Marquis.】

The ministers: "..."

Okay, this is indeed a big deal.

【Huh? Didn't they say that the Yu Shi was used as a gun? 】

Marquis Yongchang and the official didn't care about the frown. Like most officials, they subconsciously looked at the emperor's expression.

——On the golden stage, the emperor's face was surprisingly calm.

＊

Marquis Yongchang heard the Junior Official of the Ministry of Rites beside him swear.

Of course, it wasn't just Junior Official of the Ministry of Rites who wanted to swear as well.

With Xiao Bai Ze in the officialdom, who would dare to do something that would obviously touch your majesty's bottom line! You accepted a small bribe and said it was for the sake of supplementing your family income, but you even dared to ask for military pay, you must be crazy!

I hope it wasn't done by his men!

——At this moment, it wasn't just Marquis Yongchang who was praying like this.

[How courageous is this, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War...]

The exclamatory glances came from all directions like the waves of the sea.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War was startled, but soon calmed down. After thinking for a while, he concluded: "It's not me, I haven't done it before. It must be Xiao Bai Ze who is breathing heavily again - I guess it's one of my subordinates."

There was still a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

Just like a reef in the sea, I stand still regardless of the wind and waves.

The colleagues around couldn't help but sigh: What a good heart!

[...This son-in-law must have eaten a few pounds of bear bile, and he is really good at reaching out for arms. ] The

Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of War's legs went weak. Fortunately, his colleagues next to him helped him up quickly, otherwise he would fall and make a noise, which would attract Xu Yanmiao's attention, and then think that his voice could be heard by others, which would be a disaster.

"Are you okay?" his colleague asked in a low voice.

The right assistant minister of the Ministry of War felt his throat tighten and swallowed his saliva: "I took precautions, thinking that my family was upright and my sons and nephews would never dare to do such a thing, so I rested my head, but I forgot to be on guard against my son-in-law!"

If the son-in-law breaks the law, his family will be implicated!

The son-in-law's nine clans include his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Colleagues: "..."

So you were so calm just now because you thought it had nothing to do with you.

However, knowing who the unlucky guy was, they felt much more relieved.

For a while, everyone's mind was in turmoil. Some people were thinking about using this opportunity to exclude dissidents, some were thinking about whether they would be dragged into it, and if so, how to get themselves out of it. Some people,

such as Liang Rui, the head of the Ministry of Justice, were dedicated to the public, so he tightened his lips and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will return to Beijing soon. I wonder what kind of reception will be given?"

The clear college students could not hear it.

But there were many people in the court who could hear it:

Your Majesty! Don't put the blame on the Jinyiwei again - mainly because it has been seven months since then, and it would be easy to expose it if it was put on the Jinyiwei. It is better to say that the Crown Prince found out about it outside.

The old emperor also heard it, and responded: "It is not a big deal, there is no need to specially welcome him. I will send people to the suburbs to welcome the Crown Prince."

...

When the Crown Prince returned, he was very regretful.

"How come so many interesting things happened in the capital right after I left!"

It doesn't sound the same to hear people talk about it now!

His servant said sternly, "There is another 'excitement' waiting for Your Highness."

The prince smiled and waved his hand, "No hurry, no hurry."

Then he patiently checked the son-in-law of the right assistant minister of the Ministry of War inside and out, and got the real witnesses and evidence of his reselling military pay and weapons. Then one morning, he cleared his throat in front of the bronze mirror, took all the evidence, and went to court with great pride!

Wuhu! The fun is coming!

[Wuhu! Your Highness the Crown Prince is back!]

The prince paused, turned his head, and saw Xu Yanmiao staring at him with burning eyes. He almost couldn't keep the gentle and clear smile on his face.

A bad feeling suddenly came to my mind.

[Damn it! I really want to ask him how it feels to be a prince and get harassed by a hooligan. ]

[This is the first time I’ve seen a prince who was standing in line to buy saltwater goose, and because the hooligan wanted to cut in line, he beat him up directly, and he didn’t allow the guards around him to help. ]

[Then the other party bumped into him, and he lay on the ground and screamed, crying and complaining with snot and tears that they were bullying a cripple... Ah, why does the prince look so experienced? ]

[Isn’t this a bit too amazing? ]

The prince: "...Ahem." He tried to suppress the smugness in his heart, but the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but curl up.

This made his teachers who came over even more incredulous, puffing their beards and glaring, their necks and ears all red with anger.

How could a dignified prince fight with gangsters?

The old emperor subconsciously said: "Great!!!" His

voice was as loud as a bell.

He was still thinking happily: My son still has the unique skills he had when he was in the market, he can go to the court and the streets. Good, he is worthy of being my son!

Then he saw those older Confucian scholars turned their heads and looked at him dimly.

The old emperor: "..."
