Ruyang was not as angry as one might have thought, even though he was ridiculed in the newspaper and became a laughing stock.
"Even the Emperor's daughter has trouble finding a husband. That's not entirely wrong. It's just that the person who wrote the article is incredibly foolish. They didn't even realize they were being used. They thought they could become world-famous overnight by stepping on this princess's head. As my mother said, if you're foolish and don't realize it, even gods can't save you."
"Sister, aren't you angry?" Prince Rong Liu Heng asked her.
"Why should I be angry with a fool? Isn't Second Brother angry? Mother said that group of people were mocking me on the surface, but they were actually targeting my two brothers and Brother Xun, trying to provoke a fight between you."
Bang!
Prince Rong Liu Heng closed his paper fan and said, "It's all in vain! I have long made up my mind to settle down overseas."
"Brother Hen has no intention of going overseas! As soon as you leave, they will definitely target Brother Hen."
Prince Rong Liu Heng wasn't worried at all. "When it comes to scheming, we're actually no match for Brother Xun. He may look simple-minded, but he knows more than anyone else. He's a typical example of playing the pig to eat the tiger. Those villains who want to scheme against Brother Xun might be outwitted by him. I'm waiting to see the fun!"
Ruyang nodded repeatedly, thinking that this made sense.
Brother Xun seems the most harmless among his siblings, but in fact, he has been a man who knows what he is doing and sees everything clearly since he was a child.
Trying to seduce such a person is only slightly harder than climbing to the sky.
Ruyang pointed at his face and asked Liu Heng, "Do I look like an easy target? Everyone uses me as a bully. If I don't fight back, I'm afraid everyone will treat me like a soft persimmon and make it easy for me to be bullied."
Prince Rong Liu Heng agreed with both hands and said, "Fight back."
Just hit me when I say hit me.
Ruyang brought the guards from the princess's mansion, while Chen Qiu brought his personal soldiers.
The unmarried couple joined forces and went straight to the door.
Whoever is plotting against her behind her back will be punished one family at a time, and no one will be able to escape.
"Break the door for me! Beat anyone you see. If you kill them, I will take the blame."
The guards of the princess's mansion, upon receiving the order, rushed in, broke down the door and beat anyone they saw.
Chen Qiu also said to his personal guards: "Today, all of you must obey the princess's orders! If the princess tells you to fight, you must fight without any reservations."
At worst, they could just beat him up and run overseas. I don't believe these wealthy families can chase him overseas.
Even if we really chase them overseas, overseas is their territory.
Just throw the sacks into the sea and be done with it.
Chen Qiu is a cruel and ruthless person, which is the result of his serious experience overseas.
No one who comes back from overseas is afraid of trouble.
Bound by the rules and laws of the capital, these personal guards who returned from overseas had long been driven crazy.
Today, the princess ordered that everyone can fight openly.
So cool!
Just like bandits entering the village and bullies disturbing the people...
As soon as the engaged couple Ruyang and Chen Qiu appeared, the entire capital was in chaos.
The whole city was shocked.
"Someone's been beaten to death!"
"Someone's dead, someone's dead..."
Rich families, high-ranking officials, and even royal family members, any family found to be involved in the article could not escape the ruthless hands of Princess Ruyang.
Every one of them counts, every family counts, no one can escape.
This princess has not appeared in the capital for several years, and some people really think that I am a soft persimmon that is easy to be bullied.
"Beat me! Beat me hard! Even if you kill me, this princess will take the blame for you!"
"You can't fight! You can't fight! Quick, send someone to report to the authorities. Tell the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Imperial Guards to come quickly. I'm going to the palace to sue you. A bunch of young people, you're looking for death by bullying me?"
What happened on this day can be talked about with relish by the common people in Beijing for twenty years.
But for the court officials, this day was a shame.
Not only were they attacked by Princess Ruyang and her men, but the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the Golden Guards hid and refused to send anyone out. The Jingzhao Yin Yamen also hid and refused to send anyone out. This is simply outrageous.
Government offices were all afraid of Ruyang's bullying behavior, which was truly horrifying.
Even the most absurd Princess Huyang at that time did not dare to bring people to attack the homes of high-ranking officials, and she did not dare to bring so many people with her at once.
What’s even more outrageous is that although no one was beaten to death, they were all injured.
These are not ordinary skin injuries, but serious injuries such as broken hands and feet.
They are truly bandits and bullies...
Must be severely punished!
The censors' impeachment memorials flew into the palace like snowflakes.
Neither Ruyang nor Chen Qiu can escape.
Let’s settle the accounts one by one in the court.
Ruyang ran to the court and cursed the officials, pointing at their noses.
Emperor Liu Zhao looked delighted.
Obviously, without Liu Zhao's permission, Ruyang had no chance of entering the Golden Palace.
"What a tyrant!"
Some old ministers were heartbroken.
"The princess of the royal family is inherently domineering. Your Majesty has no intention of restraining her, but instead indulges her. This is the behavior of a tyrant monarch."
Liu Zhao laughed and didn't care at all!
I am a tyrant, and I indulge Ruyang.
My precious daughter has been wronged, and it is only right for me to bring people to seek redress.
"Are you allowed to write articles to slander Ruyang, but not to fight back? You've been an official for so long that you don't even take a princess seriously. Do you still have me in your eyes? Do you take my words to heart? If you can't remember my words, don't blame Ruyang for fighting you."
"Stupid!" the courtiers roared.
"Don't you think you deserve to be beaten?" Liu Zhao asked. "In my opinion, you all deserve to be beaten! Some of you even deserve to be killed!"
The court officials were outraged and stood up to oppose the emperor.
Despite failure again and again over the years, and countless people being dismissed from office and exiled after failure, the civil and military officials never retreated.
Just do it!
It’s more fun to fight with the emperor.
This is because, under the governance of Liu Zhao and Gu Jiu, the customs among the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have become increasingly open and inclusive.
Popular thought was not constrained, and thus influenced the court.
Even if they were suppressed or exiled by the emperor, they would still stand up and curse the emperor as a tyrant.
Liu Zhao often said that he felt both pain and happiness.
On the one hand, he is happy to encourage an open atmosphere among the people so that everyone can be more energetic.
On the one hand, he had to bear the tough challenges brought about by the opening up, and was often scolded as a tyrant by court officials.
Cursing becomes a habit.
Is Liu Zhao a tyrant?
Definitely not!
He is fully qualified to be called a wise king.
The court officials called him a tyrant, which is now more like a catchphrase. The word "tyrant" itself has deviated from the meaning in the article.
The term "tyrant ruler" is more like a signal for war between the ruler and his subjects.
To speak against a tyrant is to declare war.
Then we must do it to the end!
It doesn't matter if I'm dismissed from office and exiled.
Liu Zhao was also happy to fight with the court officials!
It is said that the morning court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was like a vegetable market, and the court officials imitated shrews in cursing on the street every day. This statement is extremely correct.
When it comes to Ruyang beating people, the court officials will never back down.
Ruyang is a tough nut to crack.
Then let's direct the spearhead at Chen Qiu, Ruyang's fiancé, who is not so tough.
Chen Qiu is a young man, and for the first time in his twenty years of life, he has a highlight moment. The overwhelming impeachment and insults from court officials are very painful, but also very satisfying.
“I’m famous!”
Chen Qiu grinned and laughed, "From today on, I, Chen Qiu, will be known to everyone in the world. Not only am I the princess's consort, I'm also a fool who dares to rebel against my superiors. Haha..."
He smiled with great pride.
Liu Xun was very curious about his future brother-in-law, "Aren't you afraid?"
Chen Qiu said cheerfully, "What's there to be afraid of? At worst, I can just go out to sea. I don't believe the court officials will chase me overseas and continue to scold me."
"But you want to marry my sister, so you can't leave Beijing for the time being. What are you going to do?"
"When the enemy comes, we will fight him with our generals; when the water comes, we will block it with earth. If anyone scolds me, I will write it down in a small notebook. I don't have the ability now, but when I have the ability and status in the future, I will retaliate against them one by one."
Is it really good to talk about revenge so confidently and so freshly?
Chen Qiu then secretly told Liu Xun, "Before I leave Beijing, I'm going to throw a few sacks into the Inner City River. Your Highness, do you want to join in?"
Huh?
Can we play like this?
Liu Xun was eager to try, but he said, "I'll listen to my sister. If she says it's okay, I'll give it a try."
mock up!
His face was full of the desire to play, but he said one thing and meant another.
Chen Qiu closed the door and stood still regardless of the raging flood outside.
A few days later, Chen Zhuangshi hurried and finally returned to the capital.
"Whoever impeached my son, stand up!"
Chen Zhuangshi stood in the court and roared, with the domineering aura of a general, heading towards the censor.
"Come at me if you dare. What's that to do against a child? I've failed in parenting. You might as well impeach me from that perspective. Whether you want a debate in court or a verbal battle in the newspapers, I'm here for you!"
Huh?
So confident.
The ministers suddenly woke up.
His grandma's legs.
"When Chen Zhuangshi was studying at Shanhe Academy, he was the editor-in-chief of the Shanhe Academy Newspaper."
"Chen Zhuangshi's writing in the imperial examinations wasn't very good, so he only passed the exam as a scholar. But when it comes to writing insults, he's second best. No one in Shanhe Academy dares to claim first place."
Many of the students who studied with Chen Zhuangshi at Shanhe Academy have already had a place in the court.
Seeing Chen Zhuangshi in full force, he suddenly recalled the fear he felt when he was dominated by Chen Zhuangshi in the academy.
Damn it, like father, like son.
The father is a bastard, and the son is a little bastard.
"What should we do? Should we fight Chen Zhuangshi?"
"Go ahead! He hasn't been involved in a lawsuit in years, so he must be no longer good at it."
"Let's do it!"
The court officials quickly shifted their target from Chen Qiu to Chen Zhuangshi.
Yang Ji, the head of all officials, secretly rolled his eyes, unable to bear to watch.
A group of officials with short memories.
I was led by Chen Zhuangshi the whole time, it's so embarrassing!
Chen Zhuangshi secretly winked at Yang Ji with a wicked smile on his face.
It was as if to say: Look at the officials you lead, this term is no good! How on earth did the Ministry of Personnel select their officials? Looking around, they are all idiots. Even this general couldn't withstand a single round.
Yang Ji looked straight ahead and sneered.
If you have the guts to argue with me, I will kill you.
Chen Zhuangshi chuckled and said, "Mr. Yang, you are the head of all officials. How dare you come down to argue with me?"
I'm saying I can't beat you, but the prerequisite is that you can put aside your status and face and come out to debate with me!
Among all the students in Shanhe Academy back then, Chen Zhuangshi was not convinced by anyone except Yang Ji.
He is far inferior to Yang Ji!
He often said this to people around him.
Unfortunately, Yang Ji had climbed too high and too fast, and was no longer fit to roll up his sleeves and fight in person.
Rolling up your sleeves and fighting is what new recruits do.
People of Yang Ji's level all play fair and open games and disdain verbal battles, which are disrespectful.
Chen Zhuangshi had three verbal battles with the censors for three consecutive days.
Empress Gu Jiu couldn't help but run to the Golden Palace to watch the battle.
Court officials flocked to the scene.
Anyone with connections got standing-room tickets to the Golden Throne Hall.
It doesn't matter. I can get a corner ticket by using my connections. Even if I can't see people, I can still hear the sounds.
The princes and princesses, as well as Chen Qiu, all attended the game.
Chen Zhuangshi is a crowd pleaser.
The more people there are, the more excited he is!
For three consecutive days, starting from the ancient time when Pangu created the world, he quoted from classics, made logical arguments, and took every step carefully. He successfully lured a group of imperial censors into the pit and buried them with soil.
This scene is so cruel and so cool!
The censor, who had never lost a verbal battle, finally met his match.
"As expected of the first student editor-in-chief of the Shanhe Academy Newspaper. So awesome!"
"When it comes to verbal battles, Chen Zhuangshi is a master. The censors and their gang have had it too easy in the past, but when they meet someone truly capable, their true colors are immediately revealed."
"These censors have hit a wall this time."
"To be able to fight your way back from Xiliang, and to be able to fight your way out of the Northwest Grand Commandery, which is full of talented people, of course you must have real skills."
"Although these imperial censors are well-versed in classics, history, and laws, they lack experience. Their defeat is not unfair!"
A group of imperial censors who were taken to the pit wanted to shout to the heavens: "Who said it wasn't unfair? They died unjustly, okay?"
