    In the East Pavilion.

    Seeing that Zhao Shouzheng had jumped the trap and denied his accusations, Dong Chuance smiled disdainfully and said, "Then what is your reason? Is it public outrage?"

    ¡°Yes, it¡¯s just public outrage!¡±

    Since there is no script, Mr. Zhao can just let himself go and say whatever he wants!

    He responded loudly, and then fired suddenly at Xu Fan who was standing aside: "Even if this beast hadn't framed my father and son several times, I would have long wanted to find an opportunity to beat him up!"

    "When I was studying in Jinling, I heard the name of Mr. Xiao Ge. He was said to be well versed in government affairs and shrewd and capable. Mr. Xu Ge was in the government, and he had secret revelations and letters of answers. Anyone who had any major plans for the country would be called upon to make plans.  In the past year, Xu Ge has been frail and sick, and all major national affairs have been handled by him!"

    Zhao Shouzheng said, raising his voice, looking at Xu Fan with disdain:

    "What's the result? How did he manage the Ming Dynasty? The armaments were depleted, the finances were bankrupt, and the court couldn't even pay salaries! It's true that he didn't have Yan Shifan's ability, and he got Yan Shifan's disease!"

    Xu Fan was so angry that his nostrils doubled in size.  This guy actually dares to compare me with that slut Yan Shifan, and even says that I'm not as good as him?  !

    "Zhao Zhuangyuan, please don't slap names or make personal attacks." Huo Ji reminded in a deep voice: "Just discuss the matter."

    "Okay, let's discuss the matter!"

    Zhao Shouzheng responded, his tone becoming more and more sad and angry: "Last September, I bypassed the Xuanda defense line and broke through the Piantou Pass to go south. I slaughtered more than 50,000 soldiers and civilians in Shizhou City and burned the houses for three days.  Then he went thousands of miles into the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty and destroyed countless castles!"

    "The Liaodong Tuman tribe also invaded Jizhen at the same time, plundering Changli, Funing, Leting, Lulong and other places, all the way to Luanhe River. Wherever they went, they were also killed, looted and burned in countless ways. Both groups of Tartars arrived in Beijing.  Elbow and armpit, the imperial court had to declare martial law in the capital."

    "And what about the officers and soldiers who were supposed to protect the people and eliminate the enemy invaders? They all huddled in the fortified city and did not dare to fight! At first, the Tartars were just in full swing, but then the autumn rains continued for ten days. Many Tartars were not acclimatized to the soil and environment, and many of their troops fell ill.  Ida had to order the plundered property and population to be discarded. When they retreated in embarrassment, with only a few thousand light cavalry to pursue them, the Tatars would have been defeated and suffered heavy losses! However, of the 20,000 cavalrymen stationed in Datong and Taiyuan, no one dared to attack"

    "Not to mention the Jiliao defense line in the north. More than 200,000 troops marched in the dangerous pass, but tens of thousands of native barbarians were unable to fight back and were able to come and go freely!"

    ¡°This is all Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s preparation for the palace examination, and he naturally speaks it clearly and with great momentum!

    "For such useless and cowardly soldiers and generals who had no regard for the people, no one of the Tatars was punished after they retreated. Instead, many of them received awards for their 'meritorious service in repelling the enemy'!"

    Mr. Zhao chuckled, pointed at Xu Fan and cursed: "Of course, it is understandable that Mr. Xiaoge did this, because he has been sidelined for many years. In order to avoid exposing his secrets, he did not dare to let them go to war. He can only brag,  Just whitewash the peace and deceive the emperor and the people!"

    This was the complaint of Zhao Hao and his disciples. Mr. Zhao had listened to it many times, so he took it to heart.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    "You want to say that this imperial court is weak and can be bullied, right? But they are ruthless in dealing with those who fled to Beijing! I heard that in order to let his father have a comfortable year, Mr. Xiaoge ordered Shuntian Prefecture at the end of the twelfth lunar month to evict people from the streets.  All the refugees have come out of sight but out of sight! Anyone who still dares to stay will be imprisoned and escorted out of the city by officials!"

    "In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the weather is freezing, hundreds of thousands of refugees are homeless, without food and clothing, and their cries shake the sky. Mr. Xiao Ge, you went to court just for a little respect, but do you know how many refugees you want?  Am I going to eat you alive?"

    "What do you know?" Xu Fan's face turned red after being scolded, and he thought to himself, "Didn't you ruin my plan and make me suffer?"

    "Okay, you don't care about us. The two empresses in the palace, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, and the wealthy officials and gentry in Beijing donated generously and gave porridge to the people outside the city, and finally survived the cold winter. They also made arrangements.  They went to Xishan to dig coal and make a living. But what about you? But you took advantage of the earthquake in the capital to spread the word about the earth dragon turning around? As a result, all the coal mines in Xishan stopped production, and countless miners lost their livelihood!"

    "My son Zhao Haocai has no choice but to stand up and use science to refute your ulterior motives. Moreover, I have used irrefutable facts to prove that the earthquake in the capital has nothing to do with the Earth Dragon's transformation. Mr. Xiaoge, the bet you made in front of His Majesty  , why hasn¡¯t it been fulfilled yet?¡±

    "" Xu Fan's face turned even redder, asking him to kneel down and apologize to Zhao Hao?  Might as well kill him

    "But there is no joke before you. Many adults present have witnessed it."

    &nbsp"Not only did you dishonor your words, but you also instigated officials to attack science and slander my son. You actually wanted to cut my son off from the market! Did you know that because of his scientific predictions, thousands of people in Shaanxi have lost their lives?  Survived? If we insist on killing one person, the people of Shizhou and the thousands of refugees who died in vain will definitely choose you, Mr. Xiaoge!"

    These are the words that Mr. Zhao has been holding in his heart for a long time. Now he speaks them out with great emotion and momentum!

    "That's a bunch of nonsense. Nothing you say has anything to do with me!" Xu Fan retorted with a dark face: "If you have the guts, show me the evidence!"

    At the entrance of the palace, Pang Shangpeng had just finished vomiting and came in, when he heard the same words from Mr. Xiaoge, "Bring out the evidence", and his eyes darkened.  I've finished speaking in my heart, this problem is contagious

    "It's precisely because we can't produce evidence that the Ming Law cannot judge you, so I will go to trial on my own!" Zhao Shouzheng spat at Xu Fan fiercely: "You, a scum that brings disaster to the country and the people, will be beaten as soon as possible.  You¡¯re crying all over the place, it¡¯s really embarrassing for your father!¡±

    "I'm your uncle!" Xu Fan was completely angered by Zhao Shouzheng's mouthful of phlegm, and rushed towards him with red eyes.

    "I'm your second uncle!" How could Zhao Shouzheng be afraid of him?  He also rolled up his sleeves and opened his posture.

    "Hurry and pull them away!" Seeing that the two were about to fight again, the officials quickly shouted to stop: "Stop, where is this place?!"

    "Fight, let's settle it here, and we will bear witness to you two!" The nobles, fearing that the world would not be in chaos, started to boo.

    Fortunately, the warriors in front of the palace were able to hold Xu Fan back in time, so a second round of Quanwuxing's battle was avoided.

    ??~~

    ¡°But Zhao Shouzheng¡¯s all-out accusation had an immediate effect.

    ¡°At least Dong Chuance can no longer pester and ask questions about beating people, otherwise it will appear that the situation is too small and too small

    Seeing that it was getting late, Huo Ji asked more than a dozen ministers: "Do you have anything else to say?"

    Who among the officials is willing to wade into troubled waters?  They all shook their heads.

    Those censors wanted to defend Mr. Xiaoge, but Huo Ji simply chose to ignore it.

    "It's getting late, let's vote." Huo Butang said solemnly: "Those who agree to severely punish Zhao Shouzheng vote red, those who think he should be dealt with lightly vote white, and those who think he should be exempted vote green  .¡±

    Then, two heads of the Ministry of Punishment walked up to the thirty-three officials with voting rights holding the box.

    ¡°These officials have three-color lottery tickets in their hands: red, green, and white.  If a registered vote is required, they will show the color of the sign and put it into the box.

    But when there is no special request, they will hide the color they cast with their sleeves.

    After all, only by secret voting can we have less scruples and truly reflect the voters¡¯ thoughts.

    Soon, thirty-three sticks were collected and then inspected on site.

    The two principals took out the signs from the box and separated them by color. Then one person counted and the other recorded.

    "Red one, red two, red threered nine!" Soon, the counting officer loudly reported: "There are nine red lots in total!"

    ¡°One is white, two is white¡­there are seven white lots in total!¡±

    "Green one, green two, green three" Although there was no need to count anymore, the counting director still strictly completed the process and said: "There are seventeen green signs in total!"

    Old Xiaoge¡¯s face suddenly turned greener than the green sign

    ps. The fifth update has been delivered. Sorry, I will adjust it on the first day today, and it should be on time later.  Also, it¡¯s the end of the month, please give me a monthly ticket~~~(remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
