Su Changan also knew that those people were all deposed or demoted, or even had their properties confiscated, because they had connections with the rebellious families in the south.
Moreover, such a large-scale replacement can be described as a sudden storm.
When Su Chang'an was in Lingqi Pavilion and watching Xia Fengxiang reading the memorials sent by the Ministry of Personnel, he felt that even though his wife was acting crazy with him at night and looked like that, with a wave of the hand, the official position that a person had worked hard for all his life could be wiped out, and someone could also be given the opportunity to rise to the top at any time.
Without thinking about these things, Su Changan looked at the people in the hall.
People like Yan Shu, Gu Chiyu, Cui Yuer and others are not qualified to be here. Even if they are outside, they are not qualified enough, so those people are definitely not here.
but
When Su Changan looked at the officials in the hall, he noticed that many people were also looking at him.
Although there was no embarrassment, these people looked at each other strangely, which made Su Changan feel a little uneasy.
What did I do wrong?
Didn’t Aunt Sun tell me to just come in and sit down?
Or is it that your waist is feeling a little uncomfortable, and the slight twist in your foot yesterday was noticed?
The back pain was caused by last night's troubles.
Basically, when things got crazy like last night, Su Changan was well prepared.
I sprained my ankle. I accidentally twisted it while taking a shower last night. It's a minor problem and will recover in a few days.
But just as Su Changan was thinking this, his eyes fell on Yang Guofu.
This one-eyed fat man hasn't been seen for a long time. When Su Changan looked at him, he saw that he had gained a lot of weight, and his previous arrogance had disappeared a lot.
But looking at the fat man, Su Changan was stunned for a moment.
His eyes just met Yang Guofu's one eye.
Yang Guofu was so frightened that he lowered his head hastily, not daring to look directly at the Queen.
But when he looked up, he saw the Queen was writing something and pushing it to His Majesty beside him.
? !
Yang Guofu pursed his lips and asked, "What is written? What's wrong with me? What's wrong with me?"
There was visible panic on Yang Guofu's face, and he no longer looked like the arrogant and domineering Minister of Revenue.
And here in Xia Fengxiang.
Xia Fengxiang looked down at what Su Changan had written, "Do you think Yang Guofu has gained weight?"
Then he looked at Yang Guofu, picked up a pen and made a check mark.
Yang Guofu's heart skipped a beat. The queen looked at what he had written and showed it to His Majesty. After reading it, His Majesty's handwriting clearly showed her a check mark.
Yang Guofu swallowed, feeling a little overwhelmed, and subconsciously looked towards where his father was.
But this is also the time.
Mu Xu stood up, bowed, and said, "Your Majesty, please report to the Queen."
Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan looked at Mu Xu at the same time.
Mu Xu said in a serious tone, "Your Majesty, Queen, I have something to report."
Xia Fengxiang nodded and said nothing, meaning that Mu Xu should speak directly.
Mu Xu immediately looked at Su Changan and said, "I impeach myself and also the Queen!"
Su Changan blinked: "Huh?"
Chapter 633 Queen Mother: Are they talking about me?
When Mu Xu said this aloud, everyone looked at the Lord Jijiu with strange expressions. Although the impeachment of the Queen had happened, there were only a few troublemakers. But why are you doing this now?
most important
Impeach yourself?
Mu Xu clasped his fists and bowed, facing Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang.
A pair of eyes looked at Mu Xu in surprise.
Su Changan was also confused when he looked at Mu Xu, but after looking at Mu Xu, he suddenly understood what Mu Xu was doing, so he involuntarily looked towards where the censors were, and among those censors was Zhang Heng.
Zhang Heng frowned and looked at Mu Xu's back, also with a look of surprise. He didn't quite understand what Mu Xu was doing. Could it be that he knew that he was going to impeach him, so he just impeached himself?
And impeaching the Queen as well?
absurd!
Thinking of this, Zhang Heng's brows furrowed even more, but at this moment, Zhang Heng's expression froze and he couldn't help but look towards where Su Changan was.
Su Changan looked at Zhang Heng and smiled gently.
Zhang Heng saluted hastily and lightly. Although he wanted to see the Queen again, he knew that etiquette must not be forgotten or lost, so he just lowered his head without looking at Mu Xu, just waiting for Mu Xu's next words.
Zhang Heng did not have a high academic title, but he read a lot, but it was all rote learning, so he was a bit pedantic. If the Confucian scholars in the hall were to rank each other, Zhang Heng would definitely be in the top three.
Seeing Zhang Heng like this, Su Changan looked at Mu Xu again, and he already understood what Mu Xu had done.
Xia Fengxiang naturally saw it, and after laughing, he asked loudly, "Why?"
Mu Xu pursed his lips, then looked up at His Majesty and the Queen: "I impeached myself because I was guilty. Your Majesty was seriously ill, but I repeatedly approached you to discuss cultural exchanges between Daxia and other countries. Sometimes I even approached you twice in one day, which prevented Your Majesty from resting and recuperating. This is one of my great sins."
Xia Fengxiang sat on the dragon throne, no longer with the expressionless face she used to have. Now she was much more relaxed and at ease.
In the past, people could not see His Majesty’s facial expression, which caused headaches for the ministers because they could not guess.
But now, His Majesty is no longer as expressionless as before, but he is becoming more and more unpredictable.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Mu Xu and smiled, "Isn't this what Wei Xuancheng, Zhang Heng and the others said when they impeached you a few days ago?"
Mu Xu smiled and said, "Your Majesty, it was Lord Wei and Lord Zhang who impeached me. At that time, I knew I was wrong and felt guilty. Today, I saw that the Queen was ill but still came to the court. So I thought about blaming myself, so I said this."
After he finished speaking, Mu Xu immediately said, "There is just one thing that I have been unable to understand. I was lectured by Old Master Su and Lord Gao about this matter. After returning home, I thought about it carefully again and asked Xun Kuang about it. After thinking about it carefully, I am sure that I am wrong, and the Queen is also wrong."
Among the ministers standing in the hall, you can say that many of them are pedantic, upright, overly temperamental, and self-willed, but you cannot say that they are stupid.
It can be said that the only person who can stand in the hall today is Xia Yaomo, the prince of An, who is attending the court on behalf of An.
There is no one who is seriously stupid.
As an official at this position, he may do things differently due to his personality, but he is definitely not stupid.
Especially when these words were spoken, the people who were named.
Su Wenqing smiled. The most cunning person in the capital of Daxia was Mu Xu. He had already seen through what Mu Xu was thinking, so he naturally understood why he was pulled out, so he simply ignored it.
Gao Rou shook her head. If it wasn't a court meeting now, she would have raised her finger and pointed at me and cursed, asking why I was involved in your own affairs and even saying that the Empress was also at fault.
Xun Kuang curled his lips and sighed helplessly. After all, he was a student.
Mu Xu's words can pull out three people, which is equivalent to pulling three scapegoats. Whether he is right or wrong, these three people stand with him, so don't think about leaving me alone.
Everyone in the hall looked at Mu Xu.
Li Jiulang rubbed his hands. Zhao Wuxiu, Zhou Yuanrang, Li Wenyu and others looked at Mu Xu with great interest. They hadn't attended the court for a long time, but they didn't expect that the court would become so interesting now?
Su Changan didn't say anything, because he heard that Mu Xu was not only thinking about getting rid of being impeached, but also had other purposes?
Mu Xu looked at Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan and continued, "I won't say more about those ladies who work day and night for the sake of the people, and ignore their own illnesses, just thinking about Da Xia and the people of Da Xia. If I say more, it will seem like I'm flattering them. This is inappropriate."
When these words came out, Xun Kuang felt embarrassed.
Zhang Gu, Li Chunfang, Cao Shen and others almost laughed out loud. You are always reluctant to say it, but this is clearer than anyone else.
He is openly flattering someone and speaks so righteously, worthy of being the Lord Chief Priest.
Some people in the hall looked at Mu Xu with admiration.
But there were also Zhang Heng and others who looked disdainful. Some things were more meaningful to keep in mind than to speak them out, such as how the Empress was doing.
So Zhang Heng snorted lightly, showing great disdain.
Mu Xu continued, "I have reflected on my own mistakes, but I have also impeached the Empress because the late emperor and Your Majesty once said, 'The human heart is dangerous, the heart of the Tao is subtle, only by being precise and one, can one hold the middle.' Your Majesty has kept this in mind, and the Empress's mistake is that she and Your Majesty have kept this in mind, so she has been too concerned about our Great Xia and the people, and has completely ignored her own health."
Su Wenqing couldn't help but laugh.
The old fox said he would not flatter, but in one sentence, he praised the late emperor's teachings, your majesty's wisdom, and your majesty's love for the people.
As if nothing had happened, three people were implicated.
He flattered the three saints as if nothing had happened.
The most important thing is to stop at the right point and not to speak out without saying it, leaving too much blank space for people to think about on their own.
The older you get, the more sophisticated you become.
I think you, the old fox, have avoided this difficulty. Otherwise, with the girl's condition today, Zhang Heng might have caught her again.
'The human heart is dangerous, the heart of Tao is subtle, only by being precise and focused can one hold the middle ground.'
In fact, it was not said by the late emperor, but came from the words in the Book of Documents.
Everyone present, except Xia Yaomo and some military generals, understood the meaning of this sentence.
It can indeed be used as a governing philosophy for the country.
And
As for the Empress, she is truly wholeheartedly and sincerely pursuing her true intentions and good deeds, and has never wasted people's money or time for her own selfish desires.
the most important is
The Queen is so injured, but she still works hard for cultural exchanges. She even vomited blood several times in the past, but she still keeps doing those things for the people. Now there are no ruffians and bullies in the capital. Even the Ministry of Letters has received the approval of His Majesty to implement the policy of "sweeping away gangsters and eliminating evil" in the whole Daxia.
but.
Is this wrong?
It is wrong, because the queen does not cherish her own body and does this for the people.
But it is also true, because the queen doesn't care about her own health for the sake of the people.
