Chapter 344 Brother-in-law, you don’t care about my life or death.
Mrs. Qian was worthy of being the legitimate daughter of a large family. After crying, she quickly calmed down.
I sent my nanny to accompany me as a dowry, and said that I wanted to eat the peach blossom cake made by my mother, and went back to my mother's house to get it.
Wiping away tears with a handkerchief: "Our son has just made an engagement. Now that you have lost your official position, the Cai family may have to cancel the engagement."
"Just retreat. It's better than losing your life."
Master Qian sighed helplessly.
Doesn’t he understand what Mrs. Qian is thinking?
Don't they just feel worthless for their son?
…
The next day, there was a court meeting.
As expected, Jiang Yingxiong saw many clues about the impeachment orb.
It was members of the Feng, Fan, and Wei families who took the lead in the impeachment.
Looking at the impeachment papers on the table and most of the people kneeling below, Jiang Yingxiong could not help but sneer.
The entire hall echoed with his derisive laughter.
The kneeling person couldn't help but feel uneasy.
These are their usual tricks.
But they miscalculated.
Jiang Yingxiong is not the emperor of Daliang. In his heart, his family is much more important than them, who are just like the grass on the wall that will fall on both sides when the wind blows.
"Everything my daughter does is my will. If you want to impeach her, then impeach me."
What!
"Why, you don't believe it? What benefits have the Feng, Fan, and Wei families given you? You actually don't care about yourselves so much. You have studied hard for decades and finally managed to get into the position of today's courtiers. You must also obey their orders and follow them.
Do I resist?"
"Do you think I have stolen the power of their Situ family? Or... do you think I am not worthy of sitting in this position?"
"Or in your hearts, no matter who is sitting in this position, the Feng, Fan, and Wei families have the final say in this country?"
The people kneeling were so frightened that they were shaking like a cork.
Jiang Yingxiong's words hit each of them like a hammer.
"Lord, please calm down!"
"Calm down your anger? Calm down your anger for what? You keep calling me lord, but in fact, only you know who the lord is in your hearts."
"I, Jiang Yingxiong, am just a farmer from the mountains. How can I be worthy enough to be called my lord by you self-proclaimed scholars?"
General Sun and others were all military generals.
They all followed Jiang Yingxiong to fight until this point. It was funny to see these people kneeling in the hall without knowing whether to live or die.
Is it true that just by calling them Lord, they can erase their status as courtiers of the Situ family?
He also tried to blackmail the lord with this.
"Lord, we have already said that these people are retainers of the Situ family and may not be loyal to you. Rather than keeping them, it is better..."
What else?
Why not arrest them one by one and kill them one by one?
"Okay, anyway, I don't want to see these rumors about impeaching my daughter anymore. Since you are so considerate of the children of the Feng, Fan, and Wei families, you can send your children to the Dali Temple dungeon to accompany them. That's fine.
It’s all your wishes.”
Jiang Yingxiong looked sarcastic, looking at their faces that became extremely exciting.
He shouldn't have listened to his brother-in-law and Du Hongfei's advice.
There are so many scholars in the world.
It's not that they are not good officials, but they are not good officials anyway. Wouldn't it be better to replace them with a group of young and good officials who are willing to ask for orders for the people?
The people kneeling below were horrified and kowtowed repeatedly: "My lord, my ministers were obsessed with it for a moment. Please forgive me for your sins."
Jiang Yingxiong is a rough guy and not so thoughtful.
Since this group of people can't be used by me, then let's abandon them.
"Okay, you all get up. From now on, you can reflect at home and come back when I am no longer angry."
One sentence sent them into the abyss.
The kneeling man looked frightened. What does this mean?
There were dozens of civil and military officials in the court, and they were all kneeling. Let them all go home and rest. Who would handle the affairs of the major yamen?
Jiang Mubai looked at this scene coldly and couldn't help but frown.
After the court meeting was over, he said: "My brother-in-law seems to be a little out of his mind when he does this."
"Humph, I'm just acting on my own initiative. I don't believe it anymore. The whole world wouldn't be able to change without them."
"Although these people are useless, right now... we really can't do it without them. We need people to handle the affairs of various government offices. Master Du and I alone can't handle them all."
Jiang Mubai rubbed his brows with a headache.
In order to deal with affairs between the DPRK and China, he had not had a good sleep for a long time.
"It's not that simple. Just reinstate the imperial examination." Jiang Yingxiong said nonchalantly.
"The resumption of the imperial examination will have to wait until the Heavenly Ceremony is held next month. It will also take time for candidates from remote areas to come to Beijing to take the exam. It will take more than half a year before the court will have fresh blood."
Jiang Mubai sighed helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Brother-in-law, do you plan to exhaust me to death?"
Jiang Yingxiong: "..."
He touched his nose guiltily: "Well, what should we do now? You have already said that a gentleman's words are hard to follow. I...I will be the emperor in the future, let alone take back my previous words."
Anyway, he has already let out his cruel words and it is impossible to take them back.
Even if it is withdrawn, it will take some time.
Otherwise... these people will definitely turn their backs on him as the future emperor.
Jiang Mubai was very tired. He suspected that Jiang Yingxiong deliberately cheated him like this.
I have never regretted so much. I regretted why I thought of putting him on the throne in the first place.
This is more tiring than being the emperor himself.
"Brother-in-law, please think twice before speaking in the future." Jiang Mubai looked helpless. He had no time to talk to him here now.
There are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in the Yamen.
Jiang Mubai walked out of the palace in pain, looked up at the sky, and felt that the sun was particularly dazzling these days.
This father and daughter are naturally capable of defeating him.
Previously, Baozhu sent all the doctors from the Imperial Hospital to Pingyang Town. The Imperial Hospital was still in chaos. Today, Jiang Yingxiong made nearly half of the people in the imperial court sit back and reflect on their mistakes.
How could this be thinking behind closed doors? Is this clearly an indirect attempt to kill him?
He had no choice but to go to Ye Yunzhou for help. Today, no matter what, he had to convince Ye Yunzhou to join the court as an official. He could not let such a useful talent go unused.
In fact, Ye Yunzhou figured it out after talking to Baozhu.
In order to prepare for Baozhu's attack on Fusang in the future, he had already planned to become an official in the court.
Jiang Mubai came to invite him personally, and he happened to have a step to go down.
Officially took over the affairs of the Feng family head in the court.
After learning about this, the head of the Feng family finally showed a bit of urgency. Especially after knowing what happened in this morning's court, all the officials left behind by the previous court were punished to shut up and think about their mistakes. He gradually felt a sense of urgency.
"Father, what should we do now? Isn't this Jiang Yingxiong really going to attack us regardless of the unstable situation?"
