"Ridiculous!" Zhang Heng stood up at this time, and after saluting towards Xia Fengxiang and Su Changan, the old man looked at Mu Xu: "What the Lord Jijiu said is the same thing? No way."
Zhang Heng looked at Xia Fengxiang and said, "Your Majesty, I, as an old minister, impeached Mu Xu for trying to exonerate himself in the palace. He even brought up the words of the late emperor and even accused you and the queen. This is a crime of disrespect!"
Xia Fengxiang looked at Zhang Heng without saying anything, just watching. She had a very good impression of Zhang Heng because at her father's funeral that year, Zhang Heng, an old man over 70 years old, walked up to her silently, performed a great salute, and then stood beside her, separating her from Li Nishang.
If someone had made things difficult for Zhang Heng at that time, he would have been killed, after all, for an imperial censor, this was an act of usurpation.
But this old man was standing beside her. In the strong wind, Zhang Heng stood there hunched over, looking at the ministers around him. Although he was a pedantic scholar, he was determined to die.
Mu Xu looked at Zhang Heng: "Zhang Fuzhi, don't talk nonsense, I didn't say I wanted to excuse myself, and when did I say this was a matter."
Zhang Heng immediately said, "If you hadn't gone to look for the queen several times, would the queen be too worried about state affairs to rest and recuperate?"
Mu Xu asked back, "You mean, if I don't go to see the queen, the queen won't worry about Daxia and the people of Daxia? Zhang Fuzhi, you are wrong."
Zhang Heng heard it and immediately reacted, so he frowned and said, "Mu Xu! Stop talking nonsense! When did I say that the queen doesn't worry about the people? Don't play word games with me here. It is precisely because the queen is too worried that I, Lord Wei and others jointly wrote a letter to ask Your Majesty to let the queen recover from her illness."
Mu Xu immediately said, "That's where you're wrong. I didn't say anything wrong, and everyone can testify, including His Majesty and the Queen. I've just been saying that I'm guilty, so I'm impeaching myself, but I'm also impeaching the Queen, right? You see the Queen is like this today, but she still insists on coming to the court, I feel ashamed. That's why I stand up and plead guilty to His Majesty and the Queen. You're saying that I'm exonerating myself. Tell me, who is talking nonsense?"
Zhang Heng frowned, hesitated to speak, and looked at Mu Xu again.
When it comes to quarreling, no one in the court can win an argument against Mu Xu except Yan Yunxiao, so many people are too lazy to say anything more to Mu Xu.
Not only can I not win, but I will also get angry.
Even if I feel like I have won, I will still be angry if I think about it again and again.
It's really not worth it.
As for why Yan Yunxiao was able to win, it was because Yan Yunxiao never said much and just took action directly.
Su Changan looked at Zhang Heng who was extremely angry and wanted to speak up. Because of the illness, the misunderstanding had to be resolved today.
Otherwise it will never end.
Su Wenqing shook his head and stood up, bowing to Su Changan and Xia Fengxiang, "Your Majesty, I request that you punish Mu Xu and fine him three months' salary."
Hearing this, Mu Xu immediately looked at Su Wenqing. The old man is crazy! ?
Xun Kuang also looked at Li Lingyun and said, "What should I do if my teacher's salary is fined?"
Wei Xuancheng also stood up at this time: "I second the motion."
Imperial Censor Li Lingyun also stood up and said, "I second the proposal."
All of a sudden, seven or eight people stood up, including the military generals, Duke Qi, Zhao Wuxiu and others.
Mu Xu pursed his lips and looked at His Majesty and the Queen: "Your Majesty, I think..."
Su Wenqing interrupted Mu Xu: "If there is a crime, then there must be punishment. Since the Lord Jijiu just said that he is guilty, then he should be punished. There is nothing more to say."
Mu Xu narrowed his eyes and looked at Su Wenqing. "Okay, okay, old man, I don't believe you didn't guess what I was going to do, but you still did this, right?"
With this in mind, Mu Xu bowed to Su Changan and the others, and then said, "Of course I admit my guilt, but according to Grand Tutor's opinion, will Your Majesty be punished by you as well? Of course I admit my guilt, but I don't agree with what you said!"
Old thing, if you hadn't jumped out, the Queen would have spoken just now. Based on the Queen's personality, this matter would have definitely been brushed aside. I'm fine, and everyone else is fine too, but you're showing off here!
Besides, you don’t know how the Empress is doing. I only dared to go to see the Empress after having a whole table full of delicious food. And you, old man, don’t you know why I went there?
Mu Xu turned around and said, "Everyone, what kind of person is the Queen? She is kind, filial, thrifty, likes to pass on the tradition, observes the good and evil of the ancients, examines and judges herself, respects etiquette and laws, likes to read books and commerce, and is familiar with ancient events. She is talented in writing, blessed by nature, and is the best in martial arts. I won't talk about these, after all, these are only a small part of the Queen's many advantages. But you actually want to use me to punish the Queen. The Queen is injured, and you impeached her. This is right. After all, the Queen should be impeached, just like what I did today."
"But you can't think of punishing the queen, especially you, Zhao Wuxiu. Isn't Zhou Yuanrang heartbroken to see the queen's white hair? And you, Li Lingyun, the queen has been very kind to your Li family, we all know that. And you, Li Jiulang, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Xu may not be the best scholar in the world.
Because there is no best in literature.
But when it comes to intelligence and eloquence, there is no one else like him in the whole capital.
With just a few words, he turned black into white, and in the process he flattered people silently. I don't know how that old man had the nerve to say such words.
What's so important to you, old man? Is it just for three months' salary?
Everyone looked at Mu Xu, shaking their heads, and wondering why Commander Yan was not here.
Su Wenqing did think of this, but did not intend to respond.
If he is guilty and has admitted it, then he should be punished. This is the best response.
Now, if anyone speaks out, Mu Xu will definitely hound him.
Seeing that Old Master Su didn't say anything, no one said much.
However, how could Mu Xu not guess it?
Mu Xu bowed deeply to Su Changan and said loudly: "My queen, I have disturbed you during your convalescence. I admit my guilt, but they want to punish you. I refuse to admit it."
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu, then at his grandfather and some other people.
Things that happen in the court are never decided at the big or small court meetings. This is just a notification, because those major national affairs are finalized in the imperial study next door. What to do, how to do it, what the consequences are, and what the results are, everything has been finalized so I will just talk about it here.
At the court meeting, some trivial matters were discussed, or some things that were arranged in advance.
But this is not important, what is important is.
Su Changan looked at Mu Xu, was silent for a moment, picked up a pen, wrote something, and then sent it to his wife.
Xia Fengxiang looked at the note and said, "Wife, are they talking about me? Am I that good? Or are they just a few of my strengths? Let Mu Xu write it down later and you can recite it later."
Everyone could clearly see what the Queen wrote and handed it to His Majesty.
But at the same time as they were curious, everyone saw an expression of pain on the Queen's face.
The next moment, His Majesty quickly looked at the Queen, and even the Palace Lady Sun who was standing at the side hurried forward.
Chapter 634: Queen: If I say I'm fine, do you believe me?
Seeing this scene, the ministers in the palace were all stunned. They were thinking about what the Queen had just written for His Majesty to see, especially after the shameless words of Mu Jijiu who turned black into white.
However, this sudden action pulled the ministers out of their respective speculations.
"Empress?" Mu Xu took a step forward, very concerned.
It's one thing to joke around and lose face just for three months' salary.
But if something really went wrong, Mu Xu would never be vague, and would never act carelessly again.
Not only Mu Xu, Su Wenqing, Gao Rou and the others all spoke up and asked with concern. Most of them were third-rank officials in the court, and they were also very close friends with Su Changan.
However, officials were not allowed to step into the place where the dragon carvings were, so everyone had to go and see it so eagerly.
Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan holding his waist. While looking at Su Changan, he felt worried and amused.
After reading the contents of the paper, Xia Fengxiang really didn't know what to say. This guy has become so shameless that he can say anything.
Then Xia Fengxiang didn't plan to do anything.
But Su Changan was very proud and wanted to change his sitting position. His waist was hurting badly and the pain started in the morning.
And my toe was hit last night.
then
Being too cocky got you punished.
When I changed my sitting position, my feet first hit the table. I forgot about the pain in my waist, and as a result, my waist started to hurt again.
So at that moment, Xia Fengxiang felt both amused and distressed when looking at Su Changan. He was so stupid that he could even hit his toes while sitting still.
But thinking about the reason why he hit his toe last night, Xia Fengxiang pursed his lips. After all, it was also his own fault that Su Changan hit his toe.
Su Changan turned his head and looked at Xia Fengxiang's expression.
The two of them knew each other too well. They could tell what the other wanted to say just by looking at each other's eyes.
Looking at Xia Fengxiang's eyes, Su Changan was a little unhappy. Laughing? Still laughing! Are you my woman?
Xia Fengxiang looked at him, frowned, and stared at Su Changan, as if to say, "What are you looking at? I was the one who made you bump into me last night, and it's not me now."
Su Changan looked into Xia Fengxiang's eyes. Every time his wife was unreasonable, these eyes would be particularly bright, and he didn't know how to answer.
Xia Fengxiang snorted, then held Su Changan's waist with one hand and gently let her lean completely on the dragon throne.
Aunt Sun was originally at a loss as to what to do, mainly because she saw the young couple suddenly exchange eye contact and didn't want to disturb them.
Seeing His Majesty's actions, Sun Shang Gong naturally hurriedly took the cushions for the Empress to lean on.
Xia Fengxiang didn’t care much about where they were now. Since Su Changan was not feeling well, he should be made comfortable. This was the most important thing.
How many people are watching, where they are, and what they are doing.
Care about what they do.
I am the emperor, who dares to object?
There is nothing else between heaven and earth.
Only Su Changan.
Therefore, while helping Su Chang'an lean on the armrest of the dragon throne, he signaled the eunuchs on both sides to lift the table, and the eunuchs immediately lifted the table forward.
Xia Fengxiang sat next to Su Changan, thought for a while, and sighed. This guy is really something. Everyone told him not to come today, but he insisted on coming. This is what happened when he came.
Thinking of this, Xia Fengxiang looked at Su Changan and motioned him to lean directly on the golden armrest carved with a dragon on the side.
Su Changan was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Xia Fengxiang rolled his eyes, thinking what a fool he was. Then he carefully helped Su Changan to lean on the dragon throne and sat down next to Su Changan, casually putting the leg that Su Changan had hit his foot on his own leg.
Commonplace.
I don't care.
When the palace maids and eunuchs on both sides saw this scene, they all lowered their heads and dared not look, but they were surprised in their hearts. This could only be the Empress. Otherwise, who else in the world could make His Majesty do this?
And if it weren't for the clear phoenix robes and dragon robes on their bodies, it would seem as if the Queen is His Majesty, and His Majesty is the Queen.
When Sun Shang Gong saw this scene, she was stunned for a moment, then she smiled lightly and quietly stepped aside. The late emperor and the late empress also had a similar scene in the past.
Moreover, the late emperor went even further than this.
Su Changan looked at Xia Fengxiang, his eyes meaning 'Is this appropriate?'
