Chapter 13 Impeachment of the Zhao Family

Chapter 13

Early in the morning that day, it was still dark outside, so Lu Desheng got up. After washing, he took out a set of court clothes kept in a special cabinet.

Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Jiang, also got up and personally helped him put on his court uniform, "Are you all ready?"

Lu Desheng nodded solemnly. For breakfast, he only ate a meatloaf to cushion his meal. He was afraid that he would take a nap after eating too much.

Before leaving, Lu Desheng carefully checked the impeachment memorial he had written, "No problem, let's go!"

When he went out, he raised his head and glanced at the dark sky, sighing to himself, it was really hard work. Usually he could sleep for another two-quarters of an hour at this time, and it was all the fault of the Zhao family!

After getting on his family's small broken carriage, he began to close his eyes and rest, and his mind had already begun to rehearse the scene of the fight between him and the Zhao family faction.

When Lu Desheng arrived at the palace, the imperial censor Zhou Chengzhong had already arrived. Zhou Chengzhong's eyelids jumped when he saw him dressed like this.

Lu Desheng ignored him and simply found a seat to sit down and close his eyes to relax.

Zhou Chengzhong glanced at him twice. He always felt that something bad was going to happen, but Lu Desheng obviously didn't want to say anything, so he could only think about it in his heart while waiting for his subordinates to arrive.

The Yushi doctor is the chief of the Yushitai, and Zhou Chengzhong is usually the first person to arrive at the Yushitai. There is no way, he has to unify everyone's will every time he goes to court, and try not to be beaten.

There are also several factions among the censors in their censorship, but the factions can still communicate with each other occasionally.

When everyone has the same target, they can attack together. When their factions fight, they spray each other. Anyway, the emperor can't do anything to them. It would be even better if the emperor dared to order the staff to punish them! If you execute them in anger, that will be the prelude to leaving your name in history.

Their Yushitai has always maintained this sometimes friendly and sometimes competitive atmosphere.

Until later, a rat excrement appeared in their team - Lu Desheng! This person is so uncontrollable! But the emperor protects him the most! envy!

As his eyes flashed, Zhou Chengzhong thought about this much.

Not long after, several other censors came together. Seeing everyone's clothes, he was satisfied. The court uniforms worn by everyone are very old, and some of them have been patched in 'secret' places. There is no way, the censor, the one responsible for impeaching people, can only have the position to criticize others if he is poor enough.

No matter you are really poor or pretend to be poor, you must show the temperament of being poor. This can be regarded as the fine style of their Yushitai. From the imperial censor to the people below, they all maintained the same formation. But there was an anomaly in their team, and this anomaly was Lu Desheng. The clothes he wore were usually pretty good, which made them look a little fake. Forget it, let’s not mention this guy.

Several censors, wearing old court uniforms, proudly walked towards Zhou Chengzhong.

"Good morning, Mr. Zhou."

"Master Zhou, it's better that you came early."

They soon discovered the presence of Lu Desheng, but they had no choice but to do so. The court uniform on this man was so brand new that it almost blinded them. Someone soon recognized that Lu Desheng's court uniform was specially gifted by the emperor when he had made great achievements two years ago. He has always been reluctant to wear it. Except for some formal occasions, he will wear it when he makes big moves.

After whispering to each other for a while, the censors all looked serious. So, was Lu Desheng going to cause trouble again? Who does he want to spray?

"I might know who he's going to impeach," someone whispered.

"who?"

"Honglu Temple Minister Zhao Wenkuan."

"Hey, this madman!"

"Hasn't he never touched the Zhao family?"

"Today is different from the past. This time the Zhao family offended him severely."

"What's going on?"

"I know this, let me tell you..."

…

After a while of gossip, everything that needs to be known is known about how the Zhao family offended Lu Desheng, a mad dog.

Not long after, the morning bell rang, and hundreds of civil and military officials entered the Jinluan Hall in two columns.

What was discussed in the morning was national affairs, whether it was the shortage of food and grass for the border officers, the previous floods in the south that caused the victims to move north and needed to be resettled, and the reports of bandits who had caused trouble in their hometowns, none of which was not a headache. Emperor Kangcheng also had a headache. The treasury was not rich, and he could not come up with a good solution after discussions. When asked for advice, His Highness's ministers would only ask the Emperor to make his own decision.

The upset Emperor Kang Cheng signaled to the eunuch Wan Quan on the side that it was almost time to retire.

Wanquan understands and is about to shout out the classic line, "If you have the foundation to start playing, you will have to retreat without the foundation."

Lu Desheng came out and said, "Your Majesty, I have my own agenda."

He was not very energetic at first, but as soon as Lu Desheng came out, Emperor Kang Cheng became energetic. When he saw Lu Desheng's appearance, he knew that he was going to make a big move. Has anything big happened recently? You know, his beloved may be getting older and a little tired recently? Or is it that your mentality has become calmer? It's a little quiet.

Emperor Kang Cheng straightened his back and said, "Ai Qing is here to play!"

Lu Desheng turned to the first page first, "I want to impeach Zhao Wenkuan, the minister of Honglu Temple, for laziness and dereliction of duty, lax control of his subordinates, incompetent management of the family, and for shielding his relatives and bullying the people and dominating the market!"

The eyes of the ministers all fell on him at this moment. When they saw his thick memorial, a thought came to their mind, was Lu Desheng planning to torture Zhao Wenkuan to death?

Emperor Kang Cheng: Oh, you want to criticize Zhao Wenkuan. This guy has been really dishonest in recent years. He needs to be punished.

The more Emperor Kang Cheng thought about it, the happier he became. The name Lü Desheng was a good one, with a great meaning of winning repeatedly. He had chosen this name and his unique ability to argue, so he went against all odds and promoted him from the sixth rank to the Censorate. He really felt that he had a keen eye. Since Lü Desheng took office at the Censorate, he had been helping the emperor to relieve his worries and troubles, and he was very useful.

He also knew that Lü Desheng and the censors at the Censorate did not get along well, and Lü Desheng often pissed off Zhou Chengzhong and the other old guys. Whenever he thought of the suffering he had suffered from those old stubborn people, and then thought of the scene where these old guys were pissed off by Lü Desheng, he felt very comfortable. These old guys deserved it!

Zhao Wenkuan's forehead was covered with fine sweat. In October, he felt very hot all over. He hurriedly stepped out of the line and said, "Your Majesty, Lv Desheng and I have a personal grudge. He is seeking revenge for personal grudges. His words cannot be trusted." In fact, the Zhao family was on guard against Lv Desheng, but they did not expect him to act so quickly.

Lv Desheng sneered, "Sir Zhao, I haven't even produced the evidence yet. Why are you in such a hurry?" He was not in a hurry. It was obvious that the emperor supported the person he was going to criticize this time.

Emperor Kang Cheng: "My dear Zhao, what Censor Lv said was rough, but it made sense. Besides, as a censor, Lv has the responsibility to supervise all officials. Let's hear what he says."

After hearing this, Zhao Wenkuan still had nothing to understand. The emperor was dissatisfied with himself or the Zhao family, and tacitly allowed Lv Desheng to take action.

Next was Lv Desheng's performance time.
