Chapter 316: This is an act of overstepping one's authority

"laugh"

In the silent scene where thousands of horses were silent, a laugh sounded. It was not loud, but it was very abrupt. The laughter was filled with disdain, which attracted everyone's attention.

Naturally, it also attracted the attention of Emperor Hongzhi. He was thinking about how to deal with these ministers' attacks, but he did not expect that someone would actually sneer in the court.

Zhu Youtang followed the sound and looked over. When he saw the sneer clearly, he immediately asked: "Xia Qing's family, why are you laughing?"

I only laugh at Zhou Yu's lack of strategy and Zhuge Liang's lack of wisdom. If I use troops, I will ambush an army here.

Continuing the lines silently in his mind, Xia Yuan stood up and said: "I have behaved inappropriately before your Majesty. I hope your majesty will forgive me."

He first bowed and apologized, and then said with a serious face: "I know you shouldn't laugh in this court meeting. But just now I heard what the Lord Gonggun said, and I really couldn't control it for a moment.

live.

What these gentlemen said is truly unbelievable and difficult to understand, and I cannot understand it.”

"Oh?" Zhu Youtang seemed surprised and asked: "The meaning of what Zhu Qing said is so clear, why can't the Xia Qing family understand it?"

"Block the world's mouth, I won't understand."

After saying that, Xia Yuan looked at the Gonggun princes and said, "My lords, may I ask who owns this world?"

In this kind of issue involving principles, someone immediately answered. Peng Suqing, who served as the right deputy imperial envoy, said righteously: "The world is my Ming Dynasty's world, and it is your Majesty's world."

"oh"

Xia Yuan said "Oh" very long and asked: "Isn't this world the world of officials from the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty?"

"What does Xia Xima mean by this?"

"Xiaguan is no longer the Chief Executive Officer of the Economic Affairs Bureau. He is now the Young Master of Zhan Shifu. He was just promoted by His Majesty a few days ago."

"I would like to congratulate Xia Zhan on his promotion."

"Thank you very much." Xia Yuan cupped his fists and handed over his hands, then continued: "I would like to ask your Majesty what he meant just now. Officials from all the prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty went to court one after another. Your Majesty asked Your Majesty to supervise the conviction as soon as possible. What else can you say?

Block the mouth of the world.

Dare I ask whose mouth is being blocked? The mouths of those officials who have been blocked? Do these officials represent our great tomorrow?"

"I would like to ask you, sir, what are your intentions? And where will your majesty put the Ming Dynasty?"

Peng Suqing was not confused at all, and said calmly: "That's not what I meant. This world is a world that is falsely pointed out."

"Does this world really mean the world?"

"good."

"My lord, I can't understand what I'm saying. The world is the world, it's the world of my Ming Dynasty; it's the world of your majesty; it's the world of the people of the world. How can there be any false reference to the world?"

"oh"

Speaking of this, Xia Yuan suddenly realized something and said, "I understand, sir, since you are talking about the world of virtual fingers, it means that in your heart, my country, the Ming Dynasty, is illusory and does not exist."

Peng Suqing's face turned ugly, "Xia Zhanshi misunderstood my meaning so much and held on to it, is he just messing around?"

"How can this be nonsense?"

Xia Yuan disagreed with his expression, "Whose world is this? Isn't this important question?"

"I argued with you, but my lord said that my lord was just messing around. With your attitude, my lord suspected that when you went out to visit a brothel yesterday, you met a Tatar. The Tatar said that he was the Tatar in the world.

In the world of Tao, the master felt that the other party was messing around and was busy having a private meeting with his mistress, so he ignored him and walked away directly, acquiescing to the matter."

"I didn't go to any brothels yesterday, and I didn't meet any Tatars."

"I went there the day before yesterday, and the person I met was a Jurchen, or a Korean, or a Japanese pirate. Yes, it must be a Japanese pirate. I heard that your accent is from the southeast. I am one hundred and thirty years old since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

There has always been Japanese rebellion in the southeastern coastal areas, and I suspect that your Excellency is involved in Japanese aggression."

Xia Yuan knelt down on the ground, faced Emperor Hongzhi and said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I am impeaching this old man and impeaching him for treason against the Japanese!"

"."

Peng Suqing was shocked. He didn't feel panic, but felt that it was absurd and unbelievable. How could he have the nerve to impeach such a statement?

As the third-ranking figure in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, he usually did not do anything like this.

The other ministers also looked at each other, wondering what this development was.

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned, and immediately wondered in his mind what his son-in-law wanted to do.

Seeing that Peng Suqing was still silent, Xia Yuan took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, look, this old man is silent. This is acquiescence. This is a confession and a crime of treason. I petition your Majesty to take him to prison to be punished for treason."

.”

At this point, Peng Suqing had no choice but to answer. If things continued like this, this bitch would start to kill the Nine Tribes.

"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Xia Zhan for maliciously slandering ministers and slandering superior officials!"

Xia Yuan looked shocked, "Sir, why are you impeaching this official? Although my official can't produce any real evidence for the time being that you have colluded with the Japanese, he has heard about it and has a heart for the country, which can be used as a lesson to the world."

"Is there something going on?"

Peng Suqing caught the loophole in these words and said with a sneer, "Regardless of whether this is considered a rumor or not, may I ask Xia Zhanshi what official position he currently holds?"

"Compiled by the Hanlin Academy, and the story of Young Master Zhan of the East Palace."

"Only these two?"

"Only these two."

"It turns out that there are only two of them. I thought you were also serving as the imperial censor of our Metropolitan Procuratorate and the minister of the six ministries. But I didn't expect that you didn't hold the same position at the same time."

At this point, Peng Suqing's voice became louder, "Since I have never held the concurrent post, what does this rumor have to do with you, the editor of Hanlin, and you, the young master of Zhanshi Mansion? Who gave you this rumor?

power!"

"Ah"

Xia Yuan sneered at him, and then asked: "Does your Excellency think that this rumor has anything to do with me? Who do you think gave me the power to report to Xiaguan?"

"."

Seeing that the newly promoted Shao Zhan was throwing the question back, Peng Suqing was startled for a moment, then seized the opportunity and answered:

"You are the editor of Hanlin, and you are the youngest member of Zhan Shifu. I heard that the report has nothing to do with you. The power of the report is given by the official position. It is said that you can seek political power in your position, but you have nothing to do with it.

You have no such authority and responsibility, so what you do is said to be ultra vires!"

Xia Yuan didn't answer, and looked around at the other ministers, "What do you think, sir? Is this an act of overstepping one's authority?"

Everyone present was puzzled and couldn't figure out what he was trying to do.

Emperor Hongzhi's face also darkened. He didn't know what the purpose of this bitch was. He wanted to stop this farce to prevent the situation from getting out of control later, but he remained silent out of trust in his intelligence.

After a long silence, someone forced a smile from his face and said, "Since Xia Zhanshi is not the censor's official, nor is he the minister, then this rumor has nothing to do with you, and it is indeed beyond his authority."

Xia Yuan then looked around: "What do the other adults think?"

Cabinet Assistant Minister Li Dongyang couldn't bear it. After all, they had worked together in Puzhou and recognized this young man, so he stood up and said:

"Xia Zhanshi, you are so fond of reading medical books that you never let go of them. In my opinion, you may also be suffering from brain retardation, but as the saying goes, a person who heals others cannot heal himself, you didn't realize it, so you are talking crazy here.

It’s better to seek treatment as soon as possible.”

"Oh, Mr. Li Ge, do you think this is an overstep of the official's authority?"

Li Dongyang's old face twitched, feeling that hemorrhoids were coming on. Well, since you are already crazy, why should I stop you?

"It's ultra vires."

Xia Yuan went back and looked around at the other people present. The other ministers said one after another, "This is an overstep of authority."

Seeing that everyone present had expressed their opinions, Xia Yuan finally smiled brightly and said, "What does this rumor have to do with me, Young Master? This is an act of overstepping one's authority."
