After receiving the emperor's response, the Imperial Censor stood out from the crowd, knelt on the ground and said, "There are many royal descendants and nobles in the capital, as well as many dignitaries. Since the emperor has said this, Jingzhao Prefecture must be a place where everyone must follow the law regardless of their status!"
The emperor pressed his forehead impatiently. These imperial censors loved to beat around the bush when they spoke, and sometimes they even beat around the bush when they scolded people. The emperor could do nothing about them.
After all, the rule passed down by our ancestors is not to harm censors.
So the emperor could only patiently listen to what the censor continued to say.
"I believe that all of you are well aware that Jingzhao Prefecture is a place that acts impartially, but recently, some people have repeatedly come to Jingzhao Prefecture and tried to take advantage of them!"
"If everyone can do this, will there still be laws under the emperor? Then everyone will naturally cut off their heads to become an official. After all, being an official can protect future generations. It doesn't matter when the time comes. If you do something wrong, you can always get away with it."
The Imperial Censor turned his head and stared directly at the Marquis of Zhen'an who was looking worried and attentive.
The Marquis of Zhen'an has been receiving much attention from the Emperor recently because his daughter was promoted to the rank of Imperial Concubine and his grandson has also been promoted.
I heard that even the emperor personally oversees and teaches the students' homework.
The Marquis of Zhen'an was so proud and arrogant that he didn't even notice what the Imperial Censor was saying just now.
But when he saw the Imperial Censor suddenly turning his gaze towards him, he was stunned.
But the Emperor's gaze was also falling on him, so Marquis Zhen'an could not ask his colleagues next to him what had just happened.
He could only glare back at the censor calmly and proudly, which only angered the censor even more.
I always feel that Marquis Zhen'an is not knowing how to live or die.
Zhao Ji tilted his head and watched the show. The emperor had taken so many measures and yet he had deliberately indulged himself for so many days.
In fact, it was just to see the actions of these two groups. Now it seems that the real show has just begun.
The Imperial Censor shouted in a cold voice: "I have a report to make. The Marquis of Zhen'an in the capital used his status as a high-ranking official to put pressure on Jingzhao Prefecture, hoping that under the pressure of power, Jingzhao Prefecture would disregard the law!"
After hearing this, the emperor basically understood what was going on.
The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture had not spoken yet regarding the affairs of Jingzhao Prefecture, but the Chief Censor jumped out instead, and he impeached the Marquis of Zhen'an.
The emperor naturally knew what was going on.
However, the emperor pretended not to know and asked, "What is this about? Did the Marquis of Zhen'an commit a crime?"
The Imperial Censor added, "If the Marquis of Zhen'an is at fault, it must be because he did not educate his son properly. For him to have educated a prince who would rob a commoner girl in the street, the Marquis of Zhen'an must really need to reflect on himself!"
Marquis Zhen'an has been enjoying great glory during this period. If there is one thing that worries him, it is the prince who is still in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison.
Just because Concubine Xian was promoted to the position of Concubine Xian Guifei, she instructed her father to be careful in everything and not to do anything inappropriate at this time, so as to avoid being caught by others.
Therefore, Marquis Zhen'an had to let go of the matters in Jingzhao Prefecture, but this did not mean that Marquis Zhen'an had forgotten his son.
That was the son of the Marquis of Zhen'an who was born in his old age! The entire Marquis of Zhen'an's mansion doted on the prince, and even if the Marquis of Zhen'an didn't ask, there would naturally be people in the mansion who went to Jingzhao Mansion three times a day.
As more and more people went there, the Jingzhao Prefecture became annoyed, so they simply took everyone to the side hall whenever someone came from the Marquisate, and let them wait and talk as they pleased, as there was no communication here anyway.
This has been the pattern for the last few days.
The prefect of Jingzhao immediately thought about it and felt that this matter had little to do with him.
This method that I arranged myself also took into account the face of the Zhen'an Marquis Mansion. I ignored them and did not make any promises.
There was no discrimination in the treatment of the son of Marquis Zhen'an. The son continued to eat prison food and could not even eat a bite of the food brought by the Marquis's mansion.
On weekdays, they worked with the other prisoners in the prison and were not given any different treatment.
Therefore, the prefect of Jingzhao also felt that this matter had little to do with him.
However, he still looked up at Zhao Ji because he was worried. He exchanged glances with Zhao Ji and saw that Zhao Ji nodded slightly.
Now the prefect of Jingzhao felt more relieved, so he just lay down and happily ate the melon.
The Imperial Censor has already started cursing.
You must know that there is a group of people in the court who must never be offended.
That is the censor. You should know that the censor's mouth is sharper than a knife.
If you quote scriptures to them, they can talk to you for three days and three nights.
If you curse at them, they will do whatever they want to you, whether it is dirty or vegetarian, elegant or vulgar.
They don't earn the title of being a debater for nothing.
Zhao Ji watched quietly from the side. Now it was no longer a one-sided output from the Censor.
Marquis Zhen'an also reacted and immediately began to quibble.
In the final analysis, it is nothing more than that I have never sent anyone to cause trouble.
All the people sent over were just communicating normally, that is, asking about the progress of the case out of concern as relatives.
The Imperial Censor shifted the focus to the rape of beautiful women.
This time, Marquis Zhen'an stuttered and was speechless for a while.
However, Marquis Zhen'an soon reacted and began to deny it.
"Nonsense! The Jingzhao Prefecture hasn't even made a judgment on this matter yet. How can a censor like you make a judgment? Did you just hear it from someone else and believe their lies?"
Marquis Zhen'an didn't care about his image at all at this time and just stood there cursing.
Seeing his posture, the Imperial Censor became even more excited.
"It's a coincidence that the wealthy family you robbed the woman from put the letter of denunciation directly into the hands of my doorman last night. Every word on it is really tearful!"
"Besides, there are all kinds of rumors about Jinzhong's son. This isn't the first time. Aren't you tired of cleaning up your son's mess every time?"
The two people in the court were like shrews scolding in the street, and the emperor thought he was in a vegetable market.
But the Imperial Censor also had reasons and evidence, and he even had the blood letter on him.
Now that these things have been taken out, it is unrealistic for the emperor not to take a look at them.
So he simply asked the eunuch to bring the letter up.
The emperor took a look at the letter, which explained the whole story clearly and even made a request at the end.
It can be said that if this is a letter of complaint, it would have the foundation of a lawsuit.
Moreover, this character is as tall and sharp as a green pine tree.
Just by looking at this word, the emperor felt a desire to find talent.
"Who wrote this letter?"
When the Imperial Censor heard this question, he knew that he was bound to win the verbal battle.
"This letter was written by the brother of the insulted woman!"
