"Presumptuous, Sheng Changbai, what are you talking about?"

The emperor only had a dark face, but Prime Minister Han Zhang angrily scolded Sheng Changbai, completely turning into the emperor's dog.

Because Sheng Changbai caught Zhao Zongquan's pain point and directly let Han Zhang break his guard, the prime minister couldn't really ride a boat in his belly.

If Zhao Zongquan's father was King Shu, Zhao Zongquan would not be qualified to be emperor.

There are so many people in the old Zhao family. If Zhao Zongquan had not recognized Emperor Renzong as his father, Zhao Zongquan would not be in the queue.

The cause and effect relationship of this matter is that having a father who is an emperor leads to a son becoming an emperor.

If Zhao Zongquan becomes emperor, his biological father can posthumously become emperor.

"Your Majesty, Han Zhang is a man who is good at making evil opinions, quoting scriptures and evidence in vain, trying to please the master with false ideas, and betraying the late emperor with short-term gains. He wants to burden King Shu with an unfair name, and will make your majesty suffer from the ridicule of excessive actions. He pretends to be the prime minister and assistant.

, I would like to ask your Majesty to depose Han Zhang as Prime Minister."

During this period, Sheng Changbai became increasingly dissatisfied with Han Zhang's actions as prime minister.

When the old emperor was on the throne, Han Zhang stood up to the old emperor and asked him to adopt his son.

Although he was negligent and neglected the government affairs, the matter of establishing the crown prince was still regarded as the foundation of the country. At that time, Han Zhang acted like a scholar.

The current Han Zhang does not look like a prime minister who wants to restrict the imperial power. He looks like a flattering eunuch or the emperor's domestic slave.

Since he couldn't stand it at all and raised objections, Sheng Changbai directly retorted.

This matter can only be targeted at the prime minister.

Although this matter must have been the emperor's first thought, it was Han Zhang who took the lead.

Even if everyone in the world knew what Zhao Zongquan meant, as long as Zhao Zongquan didn't say it directly, it would be difficult to criticize the emperor directly.

The certainty of this matter now is that Han Zhang is a villain and wants to bewitch Zhao Zongquan and make Zhao Zongquan a villain.

"Your Majesty Qi Heng attached the opinion of Sheng Yushi and objected to the appointment of King Xianshu as the emperor. Please ask your Majesty to depose Han Zhang."

Qi Heng, the Queen Mother's number one thug, also recovered from the shock and stood up to support Sheng Changbai.

"I second the proposal."

Then, above the court, a large crowd of people came out under the pressure of darkness, supporting Sheng Changbai.

Sheng Changbai took the lead, Qi Heng followed, and more and more people followed.

Now that there is a leader like Sheng Changbai, others are not so afraid of being hated by Han Zhang.

The reason why there are so many people is that the emperor's behavior is really shameless.

It was also this incident that affected the interests of all literati. Except for some die-hard loyalists under Han Zhang's sect, many people came forward one after another.

Even many old neutrals like Sheng Hong have come forward.

"Retreat from the court."

Seeing so many people objecting, Zhao Zongquan's face turned from cloudy to cloudy. He waved his hand and said "Retreat" and was the first to leave the Wende Hall.

"Everyone, please retreat." The Queen Mother was in a good mood and smiled at Sheng Changbai before leaving.

These old ladies probably misunderstood something. Sheng Changbai was opposed to the emperor and Han Zhang messing around.

But it doesn't mean that Sheng Changbai will stand together with the Queen Mother.

After the two protagonists left, the other people left the Wende Hall one after another.

Sheng Changbai is also preparing to return to Yushitai, and is planning to find colleagues and leaders for support.

The most important thing is to find the chief censor Zhongcheng in the censorship station and impeach Han Zhang in writing.

According to the unspoken rules of the Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister was impeached by Yushi Zhongcheng.

You should say nothing, don't do anything, and first voluntarily plead guilty and abdicate.

But before Sheng Changbai walked out far, Sheng Hong trotted behind and caught up with Sheng Changbai:

"Changbai, stop here. Why are you so reckless in the hall today?" Then he pulled Sheng Changbai to the corner downstairs and continued:

"Ever since you were a child, you have been the most stable person in the family, but look at what you did today. Even the Queen Mother saw that it was a show jointly performed by Mr. Han and His Majesty. Can't you tell? "

"I see, this is a play performed by Han Zhang and His Majesty. But as a supervisory censor, I cannot pretend to be deaf and dumb when I see this kind of thing. Otherwise, if the news about the imperial court today is spread, I will How else can we be based in Shilin?"

When this kind of thing spread among the people, Han Zhang was the first to be scolded.

Then it was the court officials who were scolded.

Sheng Changbai, the censor who supervised the Ministry of Rites, was the first to bear the brunt, and there was no chance of him escaping.

"Then just object. You shouldn't impeach Han Zhang directly. Han Zhang has been running the court for many years. He has many party members and a big tree with deep roots. How can he be so easy to offend?" Sheng Hong said worriedly.

"Han Zhang has indeed been in business for many years. In the past few decades of our dynasty, the prime ministers have generally been in office for no more than three years. Only Han Zhang caught up with the late emperor in his later years. He was ill and had no interest in political affairs. Han Zhang was allowed to continue He has been in office for six or seven years now, so it’s time to change his position."

After some calculation, Han Zhang's time as prime minister was indeed a little too long.

After the Zhou Dynasty became stable, the terms of prime ministers were generally shorter.

This is the emperor of the old Zhao family, trying to achieve political balance.

Avoid one person staying in office for too long, causing an imbalance of power and causing the situation of a powerful minister.

When a prime minister has been in office for two or three years, the emperor will find some trouble and remove the prime minister.

Then the prime ministers were sent to the local areas to serve as magistrates and magistrates.

Then after a few years, if necessary, he will find the person back and worship him as prime minister again.

Therefore, it was easy for the Zhou Dynasty to appear. Some people came and went in and out of the position of prime minister and speaker of the political affairs hall.

I thought for a moment that Han Zhang alone had occupied the position for so many years.

Many of the following people who are qualified to worship the prime minister have opinions about Han Zhang.

In addition, this time Han Zhang shamelessly licked the emperor and lost the support of Shilin.

Neither the upper class nor the lower class supported Han Zhang, so Sheng Changbai was not completely isolated.

There is still a good chance this time to directly remove Han Zhang from power.

"Whether Han Zhang can move or not, what does it have to do with you, a seventh-grade official? You have to take the lead. It's not easy to worry about everyone all day long. Can you learn to be more calm?" Sheng Hong refuted. He said that he classified Sheng Changbai into the same category as the Changfeng and several orchids at home.

Sheng Hong's philosophy of being an official is to be kind to others. His long-standing habit makes him unable to agree with Sheng Changbai's style of doing things.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after we go home. It's not convenient to talk in this imperial city."

Sheng Changbai was not ready to continue chatting with Sheng Hong. The two people had completely different ideas. It was not that simple to convince Sheng Hong.

It actually doesn't matter whether Sheng Hong is convinced by this matter.

After finishing speaking, Sheng Changbai was about to turn around and leave.

"Why are you still going? Go home as soon as possible. Send someone to deliver a message to Taishan as soon as you get back. Ask him about this matter. You should be careful."

Sheng Hong wanted Sheng Changbai to seek support from his father-in-law, which was indeed possible.

After Han Zhang was dealt with, the deputy prime minister became prime minister, and the reserve prime minister became deputy prime minister, it was time for Lao Taishan to take another step forward and return to the center to truly enter the position of reserve prime minister.

It is in line with the etiquette of the Hai family to remove Han Zhang from power. Sheng Changbai can really find his father-in-law.

Otherwise, in order not to owe too many favors to the Hai family, it would be difficult for Sheng Changbai to deal with relatives of the Hai family after he came to power, so Sheng Changbai would not borrow them easily.

"I'll go back to the Yushitai and contact my colleagues." Sheng Changbai replied.

After returning to the Yushitai, Sheng Changbai saw that no one was on duty in his office, and officials at all levels gathered in the main hall of the Yushitai to discuss.

Generally speaking, the current literati of the Zhou Dynasty still have a moral bottom line.

The officials of Yushitai have a higher moral bottom line than the entire group of officials.

No one wants to be a lucky minister who licks Zhao Zongquan mindlessly, and they are all indignant about this incident.

Without Sheng Changbai's persuasion, they decided to jointly impeach Han Zhang.

In the Zhou Dynasty, the position of imperial censor was an honorary position and was not permanent.

Even if a censor is appointed, it will only serve as an honorary title for high-ranking officials and will not fulfill actual responsibilities.

Yushi Zhongcheng is the de facto leader of Yushitai. After Yushi Zhongcheng also signs his name.

It also represents the memorial, which expresses the attitude of the entire Yushitai, requesting the removal of Han Zhang.

Sheng Changbai was busy here, and Qi Heng was not idle either. He summoned a group of people from the Admonition Court and prepared to impeach Han Zhang.

Qi Heng is simpler to operate, compared to Sheng Changbai, who is the bottom layer of Yushitai.

Qi Heng, who has become the Youjianyi doctor, already belongs to the upper echelons of the Jianyuan.

Both sides wrote memorials and submitted them to the emperor.

In other words, the officials of the entire Zhou Dynasty have collectively opposed the emperor's appointment of King Xianshu as Emperor Kao and Han Zhang.

The emperor suppressed the memorial, but there was no response. Yushitai and Jianyuan continued to submit memorials.

One letter a day, literally seven days in a row.

In this case, the emperor, who usually cares about face, should know to give up the idea.
