Joy of Life: I am a Han Dynasty succubus, and I rebel from the beginning

Chapter 155: This is an order of disorder. Refuse to obey! The power of all officials to reject

Liu Hong and Fan Ruoruo got up early in the morning. They couldn't be said to be a harmonious couple, but they could barely be called respectful to each other.

"My lord, it's important!"

Ji Xin was holding official documents and saw Fan Ruoruo eating beside him. He stopped talking.

Liu Hong casually put in some pickled cabbage and drank the porridge in the bowl.

Fan Ruoruo remained calm, but she gripped the chopsticks with a little more force.

After taking a look at Fan Ruoruo and then at Ji Xin's expression, Liu Hong immediately made a judgment in his mind.

He waved his hand, seeming to trust Fan Ruoruo very much.

"Go ahead! There's no outsider here."

Ji Xin hesitated for a while before speaking slowly.

"Sir, 1,300 officials have come to impeach you, sir, and are demanding your removal from the position of Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice."

Liu Hong, the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice, played a very important role in the investigation of the five departments.

He coordinated many officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Rites, and also suppressed the conflicts between the Eastern Depot and the Supervisory Council.

If Liu Hong falls, then this investigation by the five departments will probably come to nothing.

Several people from various departments can fight with each other to the point of being dog-brained.

Liu Hong's tone was quite playful.

"There's only impeachment, and no one is speaking up for me?"

After all, he is now the son-in-law of the Fan family, and it has only been a few days since his wedding.

The Fan family and the Liu family, for the sake of their own reputation, would never let Liu Hong fall down now.

This is also Emperor Qing’s little thought, and he is unwilling to expose himself.

"Except for the commander of the imperial guards, the prince, and the eldest prince Li Chengru, no one else spoke up for the adults."

Ji Xin shook his head, his tone somewhat indignant.

He couldn't understand why the Fan family poured all their resources into Fan Xian, their illegitimate son.

Even Versace cannot control the power of the Fan family.

Fan Ruoruo's expression changed slightly, but she still didn't say anything.

"Yes! Let Zhang Liang come to the study to see me."

Liu Hong stood up slowly. This was probably all that Fan Ruoruo needed to know, and the rest were all confidential.

Zhang Liang spoke in a decisive tone in his study.

"Sir, this incident has become too big! Even if His Majesty keeps it in the palace, if you don't retreat, you will lose all your reputation."

Among the officials in Kyoto, Liu Hong has always been regarded as a gangster.

If Liu Hong is still shameless, greedy for power and refuses to step down after this impeachment, then he will really have no reputation at all.

"In that case, please help me write this letter of apology."

This time he was not defending himself, but asking for forgiveness.

Zhang Liang nodded. Liu Hong had the same idea as him.

Since Emperor Qing wants to depose the prime minister, it is impossible for her to become a prostitute and then have a memorial archway for herself!
It's time to stand up.

Under Lin Ruofu's command, more than a thousand of the 20,000 officials in Kyoto agreed with just one tentative impeachment.

Emperor Qing looked at Liu Hong's extremely sad and angry letter of apology, and then looked at the impeachment memorials that almost piled up into a mountain.

His fingers were trembling slightly, and he spoke in anger!
"Rebellion, I think they all want to rebel! I abolished the Prime Minister and established the Imperial Study Room, don't these people know about it? They actually want to stop me."

Emperor Qing originally thought that he had set up the Imperial Study and six Grand Secretaries to share the power of the Prime Minister.

This group of officials will be separated from Lin Ruofu's protection.

Unexpectedly, it still didn't help.

Eunuch Hou, on the other hand, saw this matter clearly and realized that the power of the prime minister lay in himself.

As for this so-called walking, even if it is the Prime Minister’s college students, they have no decision-making power at all, only the right to make suggestions.

How can this group of officials get what they want!
"Tell Liu Hong not to retreat! Burn these memorials for me."

Emperor Qing was a stubborn and courageous man, so how could he be frightened by such a small scene? He gave the order immediately.

The prime minister must be abolished, and he wants to be the first emperor to unify the world.

He also wants to be the most powerful emperor since ancient times.

Eunuch Hou quickly knelt on the ground and obeyed the order.

The officials in Kyoto were eagerly waiting for Emperor Qing to change his mind. Unexpectedly, the news spread from the palace really chilled their hearts.

Emperor Qing burned all their memorials!
This time, instead of keeping it in the palace and not distributing it, it was directly burned, blatantly ignoring the requests of all officials.

Emperor Qing wanted to show these officials who was the master of this empire. As for these officials, they were just sheepdogs serving the royal herdsmen.

Lin Ruofu, who had remained silent and apologized behind closed doors regarding Emperor Qing's behavior, slowly handed in a memorial.

Lin Ruofu, who has been timid and cautious all his life, confronts Emperor Qing for the first time.

"I have heard that wise rulers since ancient times have always been close to virtuous officials and kept away from villains. Now that Liu Hong is full of resentment, Your Majesty is still stubborn and stubborn. I am afraid this is not a blessing for the country."

A very brief memorial almost caused Emperor Qing's blood pressure to soar.

The saying of a wise ruler or a foolish ruler is coming again! The incident in which Lai Mingchen scolded Emperor Qing in front of him was still fresh in his mind.

"If I become the monarch that all officials expect, I will not be a wise monarch, but a mediocre monarch, a foolish monarch!"

Emperor Qing snorted coldly and issued another decree.

"During the period when the prime minister pleaded guilty, he made irresponsible comments on state affairs, and he shall be stripped of his fief of 200 households and fined one year's salary."

Emperor Qing was still very rational. He did not lose his temper and directly abolish the prime minister.

He just demoted his rank and fined his salary, and slowly waited for the ambitious people in the officialdom to take action.

After all, he is the emperor and can wait at any time.

At the residence of Liu Hong, the Minister of the Court, Hong Zhu brought the imperial edict.

"I have long heard that the Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice has been loyal to his country, so he has been given an additional 500 households and the title of Grand Tutor to the Crown Prince."

Liu Hong accepted the order, and then went to work at the Ministry of Justice as usual, punching in and out as if nothing had happened.

Emperor Qing's inability to distinguish right from wrong, loyalty from treachery, completely angered all officials.

"This is an indiscriminate order! We will definitely write a letter to reject your majesty's order."

"Your Majesty has been completely bewitched by this villain and won't even look at our memorials."

Some officials looked dejected, as if they had given up hope on Emperor Qing's stubbornness.

Fan Xian, who had been staying in the Fan family mansion, finally spoke up and stabbed Liu Hong in the back.

"The late emperor once issued an imperial decree that the emperor was incompetent and the Censorate of Civil and Military Officials could use its power to refute and reject any decision."

With the help of Chen Pingping and Lin Ruofu.

Fan Xian checked the questionnaire and found out his mother's back-up plan to limit the imperial power.

The late emperor picked up the throne by chance, and was afraid that one day he would become incompetent and lead the Qing Kingdom to destruction.

He persevered and served as a wise ruler for five years.

Fan Xian's backstab was no less than the straw that broke the camel's back.

Fan Xian is Liu Hong's brother-in-law, and is about to take over the Supervisory Office and the Inner Treasury. He has the support of Fan Jian, Lin Ruofu, and Chen Pingping behind him.

He is also the key leader in the Five Departments' investigation and Emperor Qing's confidant.

Such people would sacrifice their own relatives for the sake of justice, and think that Your Majesty is issuing an order in vain.

So what other concerns do the officials have?
"Yes! Exercise the right to refute..."

The officials' eyes lit up, and a large number of memorials with their names on them and their approval of the power to seal and refute were delivered to the palace.

The power of officials to approve and reject documents, which had never been used in the past few decades in the Kingdom of Qing, was used today.

The punishment for the prime minister and the reward for Liu Hong became a complete joke.

Emperor Qing couldn't understand why he had handled the situation very gently but still ended up with such fierce resistance.

But he still felt he was right.

He is the emperor, how could he be wrong?

He was too soft-hearted at the beginning and did not overturn his father's order.

Not all of Ye Qingmei’s forces were wiped out, not even uprooted!

Over the years, he has been too lenient towards officials, turning a blind eye to their problems in order to maintain the image of a wise ruler.

And there was this guy Fan Xian! He was very kind to Fan Xian and wanted to hand over both the inner treasury and the Supervisory Council to him.

What's wrong with letting him be a whetstone or a lone minister?
"Over the years, it seems that I have been too lenient."

Emperor Qing had a gloomy expression, and his thin frame was filled with a sinister feeling.

"Where is the East Factory? Arrest them for me!"
