Chapter 32 Ning Fan goes to the palace, Emperor Yu passes on the blame

Yuwang City, Imperial Palace.

Zhengde Hall!

"The time has come, all officials enter the court!"

With the loud shout of the ceremonial officer, the ministers entered the hall one by one, and with a loud shout of "Long live the emperor", the emperor and his ministers greeted each other, which meant the beginning of the morning court!

"If there is something, please report it, if there is nothing, please leave the court!"

Wei Ying stood aside and shouted loudly. The ministers below were about to come out to report, but they saw Emperor Yu suddenly waved his sleeves: "Everyone, don't report it first, where is the Minister of Justice?"

"I am here!"

"Come, show me this memorial!"

Emperor Yu's face was as gloomy as water, and he suddenly threw the memorial in his hand to the ground, and the temperature of the whole hall seemed to drop a lot.

Minister of Justice Cai Ji's expression froze, and a look of panic appeared on his face. He hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the memorial, turned it over and took a look, and his face instantly turned the color of pig liver, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

"This... Your Majesty, I deserve death!"

"Deserve death?"

"Show this memorial to everyone in the Censorate!"

"I have established the country for more than a hundred years, and there has never been such shocking corruption. If someone hadn't reported it to me secretly, I wouldn't have known that there are so many corrupt officials standing on this dry shore in a high-sounding manner!"

"I am so ashamed of my ancestors and the people of the world!"

Emperor Yu's face was furious, and the memorial was passed among the ministers. For a moment, all the civil and military officials changed their expressions, and many of them were terrified and collapsed to the ground.

"Ministry of Personnel!"

"Lord Zheng, tell me, what is your Ministry of Personnel for?"

"Are all the assessments in previous years just waste paper used to fool me?"

Seeing Emperor Yu's rage, half of the court officials knelt down to plead guilty. Lin Qiushi stood up at the right time, knelt in front of all the officials, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am the left prime minister of the current dynasty, and I am guilty of negligence!"

"Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

After Emperor Yu's face changed, he said in a deep voice: "What's the use of punishing me?"

"The Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Censorate are all in name only, and corruption is still rampant in the court. With such a group of people, where are the local governments?"

"Is it possible that the administration of officials in all counties and prefectures is clean and honest?"

"I really can't imagine how the people of this world are stabbing me in the back!"

Emperor Yu took a deep breath, glanced around, and said in a deep voice: "Come here, arrest all the civil and military officials on this list and escort them to trial!"

"Yes!"

The commander of the imperial army, Jing Li, personally took action and led a team of soldiers to drag down the corrupt officials in the court one by one according to the list. Emperor Yu seemed to have been drained of all his strength and slumped in his chair.

"Your Majesty!"

"Your Highness King Xuanyong requests an audience!"

An eunuch walked up to the front of the hall in small steps and spoke in a low voice.

Emperor Yu's face changed slightly. He didn't expect this kid to come at this time. After a moment of hesitation, he said softly: "Let him in!"

"Let King Xuanyong come to see you!"

After the ceremonial officials came out, a straight figure walked into the hall with steady steps, chest held high and head held high: "Son, I see you, father!"

The eyes of all the civil and military officials were focused on this young boy with a green face, and their faces were full of surprise. The notoriety of King Xuanyong was almost known to everyone in the capital!

But now, he asked for an audience during the morning court. What was the reason?

"King Xuanyong, you came to the court this morning. What's the important matter?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I have no important matter. It's just that I was taught by the emperor to pay more attention to the court and contribute to the people of Dayu. Today I came to participate in the court affairs and listen to the teachings!"

"Well...you continue..."

Ning Fan stood silently aside with an innocent look on his face. He looked around and asked in confusion: "My lords, why are there so many ministers here?"

"Ahem!"

Lin Qiushi seemed to be choked. He bowed slightly and whispered: "Your Highness, this is a court meeting. You must not..."

"Ning Fan!"

"Your son is here!"

"You have reported a group of corrupt officials and have made contributions to the court. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Emperor Yu looked calm, and there was a hint of cunning in his eyes when he looked at Ning Fan. Since you took the initiative to run into the gun, I will let Lin Qiushi go. It's a good time to test your ability!

Ning Fan's expression froze for a moment when he heard this. He was almost knocked unconscious by the pot thrown by Emperor Yu. He reported a group of corrupt officials?

Damn, his own father is cheating his son like this?

As expected, as soon as Emperor Yu finished speaking, all the court officials focused their eyes on Ning Fan. Some were stunned, some were suspicious, and some had deep eyes with a hidden luster!

"Reporting to the emperor, I don't ask for rewards. It is my duty to contribute to the court!"

"These corrupt officials who have no assholes are in office, taking bribes and perverting the law, and disrupting the court order. They deserve to die. I ask the emperor to severely punish these corrupt officials!"

"All those involved in the case will be dismissed and investigated. No leniency will be shown. Give the people an explanation!"

As soon as Ning Fan finished speaking, the officials became more and more stunned. Does this sound like a big playboy who only knows about love and romance can say this?

For a moment, many people looked at their superiors with complicated expressions. They didn't expect that this person would invite a big playboy to be a shield!

"Well, then it's as you said. I will order the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to handle this case strictly!"

"Father!"

Ning Fan stepped forward, glanced in the direction of the Minister of Justice, and sneered: "These sons and butthole officials have been able to disrupt the government for so many years, and the Ministry of Justice, the Censorate, and the Dali Temple didn't notice it at all?"

"Father, I think the blame for this crime does not lie with the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, or the Dali Temple!"

"Hmm?"

"What do you mean?"

"Reporting to Father, I have the Censorate to supervise all officials, and the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple all have the power of supervision, but even so, there are still so many corrupt officials!"

"Could it be that the officials of the Censorate, the Ministry of Justice, and the Dali Temple are all corrupt?"

"I don't believe it!"

Hearing Ning Fan actually speak for them, the officials of the Ministry of Justice were all surprised and puzzled!

"So what you mean is..."

"Reporting to the emperor, I think it is not the fault of the adults, but the problem of the official supervision system of Dayu!"

"All the adults are colleagues. It is inevitable that there are some personal relationships in daily life. Sometimes they will naturally have some concerns and dare not report truthfully. Over time, corruption will occur!"

"I suggest that we set up another supervision agency!"

"It will be directly responsible to you, the emperor, and supervise the officials internally and spy on the military externally. In this way, it can not only alert the adults at all times, but also strictly investigate the lawbreakers!"

Hearing Ning Fan's words, all the civil and military officials changed their faces, and many of them were stunned. It turned out that this was the last intention of His Majesty! !

"Your Highness, is it too much?"

Cai Ji stepped out and said: "It's just a few corrupt officials, so you made such a big fuss and even troubled Your Majesty. I don't agree with it!"
