Chapter 154: Gu thief, I will kill you...
"Gu Jingzhi, you are so bold..."
"When our Great Xia Saint King is still alive, the people of the world live and work in peace and contentment. How dare you compare our Great Xia to the former Yu, and compare our Great Xia Saint King to the former Yu's incompetent ruler?"
One man, his face flushed red, angrily yelled at Gu Jingzhi, "I think you are the treacherous minister!"
"Your Majesty! I impeach Gu Jingzhi for disrespecting the emperor. This is treason. I request Your Majesty to dismiss him and exile him to the frontier..."
"I second the motion. This thief is a traitor. I implore Your Majesty to expel him!"
"His Majesty……"
"I second the proposal..."
As soon as that person said this, all the officials in Song Pu's faction became active.
When Gu Jingzhi saw that nearly half of the officials impeached him, he not only did not feel scared, but instead felt a sense of excitement.
He suddenly looked up...
"Hahaha……"
"I thought everyone in the court had some profound ideas, but I didn't expect them to say such shameful things!"
what?
Everyone's eyes bulged when they heard this.
Oh my god!
Nearly half of the civil and military officials in the court have impeached you. Hey, not only are you laughing here, but you are also insulting all the officials in the court?
He is not a good son at all!
The official who had originally rebuked Gu Jingzhi became even more furious. He pointed at Gu Jingzhi and cursed, "You lunatic..."
As he said this, he raised the tablet and slapped it towards Gu Jingzhi.
Gu Jingzhi glared.
What the hell!
This is just a court debate. Do you really need to use your work ID to hit people?
Just as the tablet was about to hit Gu Jingzhi on the forehead, Gu Jingzhi slightly turned his body and stretched out his legs, catching the official off guard...
With a "thump", he was tripped by Gu Jingzhi and fell to the ground.
"..."
All the civil and military officials in the court, even Emperor Xia... looked at the two of them with faces that turned pale and blue.
Gu Jingzhi noticed everyone's gazes and immediately pretended to be indignant, pointing at the still confused official and cursing, "Did I say something wrong?"
"As the saying goes, use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes!"
“Using people as a mirror, we can understand our gains and losses!”
"History is a mirror that reveals the rise and fall of nations!"
"When the Former Yu Dynasty was first established, wasn't it their goal to establish a lasting legacy? Is fame and honor the foundation of a lasting legacy?"
"Let's not talk about the Former Yu Dynasty. Didn't all the dynasties before Great Xia think the same way? But what was the result? They all lost their country and ruined their nation!"
"Your Majesty, the Emperor of Great Xia, has followed the will of Heaven and the will of the people. He has overthrown the tyranny and restored order to the world! But if all officials are like Gu Heng and the officials of Jizhou Prefecture, how long can the people maintain their faith?"
"Without land, the people will have no food to eat! If the people of the world are all hungry, is this the Great Xia we want?"
"Officials are inactive, and the people are starving and ready to revolt. Are you expecting me to ask the Great Xia Saint to dispatch troops and slaughter those poor people?"
Gu Jing’s roar was simply deafening!
As Gu Jingzhi's mentor, Wei Xuan was so excited that he could hardly contain himself. He jumped out and said excitedly:
"Use a bronze mirror to straighten your clothes!"
“Using people as a mirror, we can understand our gains and losses!”
"History is a mirror that can reveal the rise and fall of nations..."
"His Majesty!"
Wei Xuan said excitedly, "This is a warning to the world! Due to the inaction of the tyrant Yu, the people of the world are displaced and suffering is widespread! We, Great Xia, will overthrow the tyrant Yu and reshape the world! This is the will of heaven and the will of the people!"
"The violent and corrupt Yu Dynasty led Great Xia to learn from this and understand the key to governing the country, so as not to repeat the same mistakes! Your Majesty, please accept my good advice!"
As soon as Wei Xuan moved, those upright officials also said excitedly: "Your Majesty, please accept my advice!"
Emperor Xia looked at the excited expressions of the civil and military officials in the court, and the blood in his heart, which had long since subsided, began to stir.
This was not the first time he had heard Gu Jingzhi's words, but he did not expect that hearing them in this hall would make his blood boil so much!
He looked at Gu Jingzhi with satisfaction and said, "Mr. Gu, if you have any advice, just tell me!"
"His Majesty!"
Gu Jingzhi said sternly, "If I say that there is only one corrupt official in the world, Gu Heng, would you believe it? Would all the officials in the court believe it?"
When Gu Jingzhi asked this question, most of the civil and military officials in the court felt a little embarrassed.
Speaking of greed...
Who among them has not been greedy?
But is it appropriate for you to ask this in public?
Song Pu glanced at Gu Jingzhi coldly and said in a cold voice, "If you say that Gu Heng is guilty of a crime, you will have to investigate the entire country, causing panic among the people. If this delays local government affairs, can you afford it?"
"Humph! Your Excellency the Prime Minister is full of sophistry!"
"But they don't know that the court is the core of the world. If there is a little corruption here, the whole world will be corrupted. Shouldn't they investigate?"
Why doesn't Song Pu want to investigate? Is there any need to explain this?
The aristocratic families are the main force in seizing land. If Emperor Xia were to investigate, who knows what kind of disaster the aristocratic families in the world would have to face!
Although Song Pu was worried, he couldn't show it at this moment.
He said, "It's only Jeju Prefecture that's rotten. Can't we just investigate Jeju Prefecture? Why cause panic among the people?"
"Your Majesty! The spring plowing season is just a few months away. If we delay the plowing season because of the investigation, I'm afraid that next year, countless days will be barren and the people will have no harvest. If this leads to a catastrophe, the world will be in chaos!"
"Then may I ask, Your Excellency, when is the best time to investigate?"
Gu Jingzhi raised his eyebrows and pushed the ball directly to Song Pu.
Song Pu snorted coldly, "Didn't I just say that? No matter when the investigation begins, the people of the world will inevitably panic. Does Lord Gu really want to cause unrest in the world?"
"what!"
Gu Jingzhi laughed and said, "Everyone knows that one rat dropping spoils the whole pot of porridge! If the rat droppings are not found, the porridge made from the best grains will still stink!"
"Your Majesty, although investigating this case will cause unrest to a certain extent, as long as the people understand that investigating the land ownership is actually a way to bring justice to the world, I think the people will still strongly support the court!"
"Oh! Lord Gu has never experienced the suffering of the people, so how can you know that the people will be happy and yearn for it?"
"Because justice lies in the hearts of the people, and justice is what the hearts of the people of the world desire. Your Majesty wields the sword to seek justice for all the people of the world. How could the people not be happy to yearn for it?"
"The people hate injustice, Your Majesty is the greatest justice in the world! The people of the world can only praise Your Majesty's wisdom!"
"Ah……"
Song Pu sneered, "In the final analysis, this is just Lord Gu's wishful thinking! As the Prime Minister of Daxia, I still believe that the stability of the world is the most important thing!"
"Besides, when it comes to investigating a case...if there's no victim, how can there be a case?"
"His Majesty!"
Song Pu bowed and said, "I think that although Lord Gu is full of passion, he lacks experience. Your Majesty must not accept his advice, lest the world be in chaos!"
Based on his previous conflicts with Gu Jingzhi, if it were any other time, he would definitely not just handle it lightly with his inexperience.
But right now, Gu Jingzhi looked like a mad dog in his eyes. If he got mad, who knows who he would bite?
Who wants to?
Before Emperor Xia could speak, Gu Jingzhi said lightly, "Sufferer? I really do have..."
