Chapter 484: Defense History is again involved

Xu Wan laughed and nodded: "Yes, I told him the same thing in the palace. The age difference is indeed too big. I really can't imagine it. But, it seems that the emperor has married wives with an age difference even greater than this."

Zong Zhao twitched his lips and said, "I think a lot. He will be obedient if a boy is born."

Xu Wan continued, "Oh, yes, he also told us to keep giving birth if we can't have a daughter."

After learning from the little devil's outspokenness, Zong Zhao was silent for a while, then he suggested, "Why not give him a beating? That should make him behave himself."

Xu Wan: “…”

You really dare to think of beating up the current emperor.

However, Xu Wan suddenly thought: "We haven't used contraception for the last few times. What if we really get pregnant with a daughter? He will keep pestering us for a young wife."

Zong Zhao calmly took off his clothes and said, "Then let's take a gamble."

"Ah? What are you betting on?" Xu Wan didn't understand.

"Bet, a boy."

After Zong Zhao finished speaking, he lifted the quilt, changed his previous calm and composed demeanor, threw his wife down and started his plan to have a baby.

"Ah... Zong Zhao!"

Somehow, the father and son started competing with each other.

One wants a little queen.

One wants the eldest son.

Jincheng was okay, at most he would just nag her.

Zong Zhao was the most excessive one. He was extremely energetic and kept her drunk all night long. Xu Wan did not get up until noon every day.

After the national mourning period was over, Jincheng went to the morning court for the first time. The three great ministers were all present, for fear that something might happen to him.

Two major events occurred on this day.

The first thing was that Wei Shi was reported by others, ranging from his words and deeds to his style of doing things, but it was just a trivial matter. However, there were so many people and they were so powerful that they made Wei Shi blush and angry.

Finally, an official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if the style of the Wei Shi Shi is not changed, the atmosphere of the Censorate will be difficult to correct. If you don't know what to do, just follow the method of the late emperor."

Wei Yushi's face darkened, and he immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I have always been devoted to the court and have never had any bad intentions. This person has ulterior motives. He clearly hates our Censorate and is taking revenge like this. Please judge for yourself, Your Majesty!"

The ministers were counting on their fingers what would happen to Wei Shi.

Conservatives believe that if the late emperor were still alive, the historian of defense would have been punished by now, but it happened that a new emperor ascended the throne, so perhaps he would have to endure for a while before taking action.

The radicals believed that the new emperor was just a baby, what could he know about politics? He would most likely follow the previous emperor's method, only in this way would he be blameless. Wei Yushi was beaten up, and he was doomed!

Luo Jingfeng was worried about his nephew and didn't know how to deal with it. He was about to speak up and intervene...

Then I heard Jin Cheng say: "I haven't heard that Wei Yushi did anything wrong, but you guys are so eager to report him one by one, and you can even buy a good thing in private and report someone to death. Do you think that all the officials in our dynasty are corrupt officials? If you have nothing to do, copy Han Feizi's "Five Vermin" a hundred times, figure out the direction of being an official, and then come to court."

When these words were spoken, all the court officials were shocked.

Wei Yushi: A wise ruler has descended from heaven!! My spring has come!!

He shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty is wise!!"

Other officials who were punished to copy "The Five Vermin" a hundred times all turned pale. The full text of this article has four to five thousand words, and it would take at least several months to copy it a hundred times. They would not be able to participate in government affairs. This punishment may not seem severe, but it is worse than being beaten!

And some people remembered that the content of "Five Vermin" talks about five kinds of termites in the country, and the emperor was clearly asking them to reflect on themselves and figure out what they should do.

The books that the emperor was punished to copy were not chosen randomly. Either someone had taught him, or he was really knowledgeable. But such a young child shouldn't know so many...

"As for you," Jin Cheng looked at the official who suggested that they continue to work according to the previous emperor's method, and raised his chin and said, "Since you like to beat people with sticks so much, then go and experience it. Come on, take him away and punish him with fifty military sticks."

"Yes." Eunuch Huang received the order and gave instructions outside to carry out the work.

Seeing this, Luo Jingfeng stopped moving and winked at Prime Minister Shen.

Prime Minister Shen stepped forward and echoed, "Your Majesty is indeed a young genius who ranked second in the imperial examination. His knowledge of books makes even old officials feel ashamed. This move will not only not discourage loyal officials, but also encourage officials to go back and read books again. It's a win-win situation."

Officials: “???”

Who can kill two birds with one stone?

Who wants to be beaten and fined?

They have lost both the wife and the soldiers, okay?

But the overall situation had been decided, the new emperor had already ascended the throne and was in charge of the government, and with the pressure from three assistant ministers, the officials dared not to refute and could only cautiously hold their tails tight and readjust their attitude towards the new emperor.

The little devil looked at Wei Yushi's happy face and felt very relieved. Fortunately, the upright Wei Yushi was still holding on. Fortunately, he became the new emperor and could support Wei Yushi who suffered injustice.

He's trying to get stronger.

He wants to become Qin Ye's backer, Wei Yushi's backer, and the backer of all the good officials in the world!

The high-spirited little emperor raised his head and asked with great confidence, "Is there anything else you would like to report?"

After arguing all morning, all about defense and history, he even wondered if the world was really at peace.

As a result, Minister Shao of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have something else to say."

"Speak."

Minister Shao said nervously: "It has been six days since the results of the palace examination were announced. After seeing the top-ranking papers posted in various places, the people have few doubts about the age of the new top-ranking scholar. But...but..."

"But what?" Jin Cheng asked.

Minister Shao was afraid that he would get angry, so he immediately knelt down and said in horror: "But the people are more concerned about you! They think that you got the second place in the examination at such a young age, yes, you were bought by the Protector of the Country, and they also say that you got the position illegitimately, and it was all... all thanks to the Protector of the Country..."

As soon as these words came out, all the officials were horrified. They were horrified that Minister Shao dared to make such a report. They were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground and shouted, "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Jin Cheng: “???”

I haven't started to get angry yet?

But he soon found out because Luo was shocked and angry.

The Protector of the Country angrily rebuked: "Who are the people talking nonsense?"

Minister Shao stammered, "The most serious trouble was caused by several students who failed the imperial examination. They said that the emperor had taken their essays, so they failed and the emperor passed..."

Luo Jingfeng was furious: "What nonsense! Who do they think they are? Do they deserve the emperor to snatch their articles?!"
