Chapter 136 He is crazy, let's kill him (please subscribe)
The originally noisy Yuxi Palace.

Suddenly it became quiet.

Yan Shaoting rushed into the hall from outside and kicked Zheng Mao hard.

A cry of pain.

Zheng Mao was already lying on the ground like a dead dog.

But Yan Shaoting was still not satisfied, so he sat astride Zheng Mao and punched him dozens of times.

Yuxi Palace was in complete chaos.

The officials in the hall retreated and huddled together because of Yan Shaoting's sudden charge in.

On the throne.

Jiajing opened his eyes wide, looking at the scene before him that probably only appeared in his dreams, and was so shocked that he completely lost his reaction for a moment.

Huang Jin was almost scared to death.

After quickly taking a look at Lu Fang, he took his men forward to pull Yan Shaoting.

Yan Shifan and Gao Gong opened their eyes wide and their mouths agape.

At the same time, they both silently gave Yan Shaoting a thumbs up.

A man of God!
Yan Song, who was given a seat as usual, smiled.

Now, impeachment doesn't matter.

Today will just end in a farce.

At the core of the incident, Yan Shaoting seemed to be crazy. After dozens of punches, Zheng Mao almost fainted.

Even if he didn't faint, Zheng Mao wanted to faint after being humiliated and beaten by Yan Shaoting in front of so many people.

Huang Jin was unable to react at all and was only concerned with leading people to pull away Yan Shaoting who was cursing.

Just like dragging a dead fish, he dragged up Zheng Mao, who had not fainted yet.

On one side was Yan Shaoting, who was cursing.

On one side was Zheng Mao, his face covered in blood and his eyes filled with resentment.

"enough!"

"Do you think I'm dead?"

"You're still thinking the opposite!"

Finally, Jiajing reacted, hid the smile he had just revealed, and swept his angry face over everyone present, finally falling on Yan Shaoting and Zheng Mao.

Yan Shaoting immediately knelt down with his hands clasped.

"I am guilty! Please, Your Majesty, punish me severely."

Yan Shaoting was very direct and admitted his "reckless" behavior in front of everyone.

Everyone present was still immersed in the shock of Yan Shaoting's sudden attack.

His eyebrows were so arched that they seemed to be almost broken.

He simply couldn't understand why this kid, who usually relied on his sharp tongue, resorted to fists today.

Yan Song sat on the stool, head lowered, still with a smile on his face.

Jiajing was filled with anger: "Who gave you the courage to behave so disrespectfully in front of the palace?"

This statement came out.

Inside the main hall of Yuxi Palace, there was another round of astonishment.

Yan Shaoting even beat someone in front of the emperor, but all he said was a rude act in front of the emperor?
Taoist priest, would you like to take a look at Zheng Mao, the Censor of the Ministry of Revenue?

After a dozen punches, his nose and face were now swollen, his eyes were swollen like two steamed buns, and blood and foam were gushing out of his mouth, mixed with broken teeth.

He couldn't even speak clearly and could only moan.

Yan Shaoting clasped his hands together and said, "I was promoted to the position of Commander of the Jinyiwei by the emperor's favor. To fulfill my duties, I usually practice martial arts. Today, because of the ambition of Zheng Mao, the Secretary of the Ministry of Households, he barked wildly in front of the palace, insulting my emperor and father, and the Ming Dynasty, I was so angry that I took action."

Jiajing immediately shouted angrily.

"Yan Shaoting, do you think that because I have shown you favors in the past, you have disregarded the laws of the country?"

"Do you really think that I dare not kill you?"

The emperor seemed really angry.

He stood up angrily and waved his finger at Yan Shaoting who was kneeling on the ground.

Yan Song silently moved his butt and knelt on the ground.

Seeing this, Yan Shifan, who was beside him, also knelt down.

Gao Gong bowed his hands and bent his waist, trying to dissuade him: "Your Majesty..."

He completely forgot that he was actually trying to dissuade the emperor and save Yan Shaoting.

Jiajing suddenly waved his sleeves and said, "No one should try to persuade me! This kid is really lawless!"

The emperor was really angry.

He was so angry that no one dared to say anything.

however.

next second.

Jiajing glared at Yan Shaoting and said, "You dare to fight against officials of the same court by relying on your status as a Jinyiwei. From today on, you must take off your Feiyu suit."

Afterwards, Jiajing didn't wait for everyone to react.

He looked towards the people in the direction of the cabinet and said, "Inform all government offices that from today on, Yan Shaoting will be dismissed from his post as the deputy commander of the Jinyiwei. He will be fined one year's salary for being disrespectful in front of the palace, as a warning to others!"

Senseless.

Everyone was stunned.

The emperor's change of heart came too quickly.

One second they were still shouting for war and wanting to chop Yan Shaoting to death, and the next second they dismissed Yan Shaoting from his post as the assistant commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard and gave him a one-year salary fine, which was not a big deal.

Something seems to be wrong.

Gao Gong, who was about to plead for Yan Shaoting, looked at the emperor who stood up in front of the throne with a puzzled look.

Yan Shaoting knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, I plead guilty and accept the punishment. I kowtow to thank Your Majesty."

He shouted in agony, as if he had suddenly realized his mistakes.

But Yan Shaoting breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

It seems that what Zhu Qi said when I returned to the city from Changping today was not wrong.

The Taoist priest had long been dissatisfied with the censors in the imperial court, and when they made such a big impeachment commotion today, the first thing the Taoist priest said was that the censors were too presumptuous and bold.

What really reassured him was that he just took this opportunity today to have no official connection with the Jinyiwei from now on.

I am now a Jinshi Yan.

That was a serious academic achievement. Now that I have become a fellow Jinshi, I naturally cannot have any connection with the factories and guards anymore.

Today I was dismissed from the post of Jinyiwei commander, and from now on I will be a pure civil servant of the Ming Dynasty.

and so.

Am I crazy?
not at all.

This is just a small tacit understanding between me and the Taoist priest.

Jiajing glared at Yan Shaoting who was taking advantage of the situation and thought that this boy was really cunning.

But looking at Zheng Mao, who had been chattering incessantly before, he has now become a pig-headed person.

Jiajing just felt happy.

And now, Xiyuan is no longer the Xiyuan of the past.

Jiajing wanted to test it today.

He immediately looked at Yan Shaoting coldly: "The death penalty can be pardoned, but the living crime cannot be escaped. If you don't explain the reason today and why you dare to fight in front of me, I will punish you to dig coal in the west of the city for the rest of your life!"

Ok.

Changping is also located in the west of the capital.

However, Qiu Yue, the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang He, the Deputy Secretary of the Ministry of War, disagreed.

How come Yan Shaoting just acted so boldly, but the punishment was just to be dismissed from his position as the commander of the Jinyiwei?

The two men knelt down immediately.

"Your Majesty, Yan Shaoting is so bold and reckless that he committed a crime in front of the emperor, murdered his colleagues, and offended the emperor and father. He should be severely punished!"

Yuan Wei, the cabinet minister closest to the two of them, quietly moved to the side.

These two guys are just fools.

Even now, I still don’t understand the situation.

It is Yuan who deserves to be the cabinet minister, and you can only be small officials.

Jiajing simply ignored the calls from Qiu Yue and Wang He.

He asked Yan Shaoting, "You just said that Zheng Mao's outrageous words are a wolfish ambition, and he insults me and the Ming Dynasty. What do you mean?"

Since we have this kid's cooperation.

Of course, I can't give up such a good opportunity.

There was a glimmer of anticipation in Jiajing's eyes.

Yan Shaoting raised his head and glanced at the Taoist priest.

Jiajing glanced at the boy and said in a muffled voice, "Get up and answer the question."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

A smile appeared on Yan Shaoting's face.

In fact, as long as you understand the Taoist's mind, it is not difficult to work under him.

After getting up.

Yan Shaoting's face immediately changed, and he looked at Zheng Mao with anger, "Your Majesty, all the ministers, and all the gentlemen present. This man is really ambitious and should be killed!"

At this time, Yan Shifan had just helped Old Yan to get up.

He immediately turned around and asked, "Zheng Jieshizhong, what are your evil ambitions and why are you so worthy of death? In front of His Majesty, Yan Shaoting, you must explain clearly!"

Yan Shaoting nodded and immediately spoke in a deep voice: "Our Great Ming is strong and prosperous, and our country will last for a long time. How dare Zheng Mao say that our Great Ming will perish? Such remarks show his wolfish ambitions and his forgetfulness of the Great Ming.
Your Majesty is in charge of the country, the Cabinet is in charge of the government, the officials at all levels of the government and the people are working hard and working together, the people are diligently farming in the fields, the soldiers are guarding the border in the bitter cold, and the whole country is united.

In this person's mouth, it became that our Ming Dynasty was about to fall. Such words, isn't it a wolfish ambition? Isn't it that his words should be killed, and his heart should be killed?
Your Majesty, I ask you to issue an oral order to execute these traitors!"

!!!

Yan Shifan, who was originally prepared to continue cooperating with his son, widened his eyes.

Why didn't I think of such a charge before?

It can actually be operated this way.

Yan Shifan immediately jumped out and stood in front of Zheng Mao, pointing at him with blood in his mouth, his face full of anger: "Zheng Mao, you are secretly cursing the collapse of the Ming Dynasty and the demise of the Ming Dynasty!"

After cursing, Yan Shifan rolled up his sleeves.

He looked around and roared.

"Don't stop me. I will kill this traitor for your majesty today!"

Yan Shaoting did not move, but stood there, nodding his head silently.

Yuan Wei, who had originally moved away a little, rushed over and stopped Yan Shifan, who seemed to be really going to kill Zheng Mao.

"Minister Yan!"

"No!"

"No!"

Yuan Wei repeatedly dissuaded him. Yan Shifan naturally did not really want to kill Zheng Mao. He just wanted to make his attitude and position clear in front of the Taoist priest.

The two of them retreated to the side in a mess.

Zheng Mao's face was filled with grief and indignation. He was supported by two young eunuchs. He kept waving his hands around and making a humming sound in his throat, but he couldn't utter a single word.

Qiu Yue and Wang He, who had been ignored by the emperor before, changed their expressions.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has been no such thing as being punished for speaking. Zheng Jieshizhong's reports were all for the sake of the country, and he definitely did not have the intentions that Yan Shaoting said!"

Yan Shaoting snorted coldly: "There are tens of thousands of officials in the world, hundreds of thousands of civil and military officials, and they can all speak out. If I am indeed guilty, you censors can just impeach me.

Our great Ming Dynasty is at its peak, with the ruler and his subjects united as one. How could we, as you say, be on the verge of national destruction?

You guys defended Zheng Mao for the sake of the country, so you can impeach me. But why did he say that the country would be destroyed?
I think this person must be crazy, that’s why he speaks such crazy words.”

Qiu Yue and Wang He turned around and glared at Yan Shaoting.

The two wanted to continue to refute.

However, Jiajing had already taken the lead.

"He is probably crazy to say words that will lead to the destruction of the country and curse the country."

"What Yan Shaoting said makes sense. I don't believe in convicting people based on their words. However, in the court, especially the censors, when there is a case, impeachment should be based on the facts. This is the right way."

"Zheng Mao's crazy words, impeaching court officials as a pretext, and his wild talk about the fate of the country, he cannot escape the death penalty."

"Drag him out and behead him."
