Chapter 462: By Chance, the Censor Impeached
As the saying goes, if you can't even clean your own room, how can you clean up the world?
How can you be an official if you can't even manage your own backyard?
In the end, the impeached officials were not only severely reprimanded by Emperor Hong De, but were also demoted two levels and fined half a year's salary!
At the same time, he was ordered to apologize, personally bring back his original wife, and tidy up the house to see the results.
This official was also accompanied by his wife through thick and thin. He studied hard for more than ten years before finally entering the official career and finally climbed to his current high position.
Now, just because he favored two concubines and hurt his original wife's feelings, the emperor demoted him two levels and fined him half a year's salary!
A salary deduction is easy to deal with, it's nothing more than a little less money;
Just these two levels... these two levels...
I got up early and worked late, worked diligently, and worked hard...
Nonsence!
Not to mention the painstaking efforts!
After all, it was obtained through my own hard work. Is it easy?
But it’s really easy to be pushed down these two levels…it only takes a blink of an eye!
Let the emperor, who only has one wife, know that he, as a minister, not only has a concubine, but also favors the concubine over his wife...
I want to upgrade to these two levels later...
Ugh!
Now that there is this stain today... I'm afraid it will be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
I didn’t expect that just by pampering two lowly little things, I would ruin my bright future!
This concubine...is a nuisance!
This official was demoted two levels and was no longer qualified to stand in the Golden Palace.
He kowtowed to Emperor Hongde and left the Golden Palace in disgrace.
Walking along the way, thinking along the way...
I must quickly take my wife back and coax her;
We must quickly get rid of those two troublemakers...
This thing of mine cannot be kept, and I cannot touch it again in the future...
Perhaps in this way, the emperor will consider that I can repent and correct my mistakes, and I can be promoted to a higher position... uh... I hope so...
When Emperor Hongde's punishment was handed down, other officials in the palace who also had concubines were all frightened and broke out in cold sweats.
Come to think of it!
The emperor on the throne has no concubines, and only has one wife, the empress, and the harem is extremely quiet;
As a minister, it would be fine for you to secretly take in a few concubines and enjoy the happiness of having many wives;
If you close the door, keep quiet and don't make any noise, no one will want to pay attention to you.
Not only did you take a concubine, you also favored her over your wife!
And the evidence was handed over to the censor!
These censors have no time to bother staring and finding fault with everything!
If you don't catch the little braids, you are not an imperial censor!
Think about your own backyard...
At this moment, many officials were secretly thinking in their hearts...
I will go home after court today... No, for the next few days... I will spend some time with my wife!
As for those delicate concubines...well...just leave them alone for now.
Normally, they rely on their favor and become a little spoiled and disrespectful to the wife!
I have been pretending to be blind all along.
Now, it's time to give them a warning and give them some cold shoulder...
Otherwise, you will be the one who suffers.
Leng Xian, who was outside the palace, also heard the censor's impeachment and Emperor Hongde's demotion and salary reduction.
Leng Xian's legs became even weaker, and even the two eunuchs couldn't hold him up...
Leng Xian collapsed directly to the ground.
At this moment, Leng Xian was a little afraid to think about what the emperor's intention was in summoning him to the palace...
At this point in the court session, everyone saw that the censor had already begun to impeach the officials for their affairs in their harems, so they thought that there would be no more major issues to discuss. Even Emperor Hongde began to look a little slack.
Just then, another censor came out.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report!" The censor came out and knelt down.
"My dear minister, if you have a copy, please present it to the palace!" Emperor Hongde approved it.
When the censor announced the name of the official he impeached, all the officials in the palace, even Emperor Hongde, suddenly felt... somewhat refreshed... What was going on?
"Your Majesty, I impeach Leng Xian, Marquis of Qinxing, for favoring his concubine over his wife, and favoring his concubine over his legitimate wife;
After his first wife passed away, he promoted his concubine to be his first wife, and together with his mother, concubine and concubine, he coveted the first wife's dowry and enjoyed it at will.
That would have been fine enough, but they even treated their eldest daughter, born to their first wife, harshly, confining her to a corner and bullying her in every way.
Your Majesty, Leng Xian, Marquis of Qinxing, inherited the title from his father without any gratitude for the Emperor's grace or the virtues left by his late father. He has committed many bad deeds and has corrupted the moral integrity of our Jingyue country. He is unfit to be an official, a husband, and a father!
I hope the emperor will investigate and punish severely!"
After saying this, the censor bowed deeply, stood up and returned to the civil service class.
When the censor impeached an official in the court, he could have heard something from others;
As for producing factual evidence, that is what the three judicial officials will do.
At this time, the great eunuch Yu Feng approached Emperor Hongde and whispered a few words...
After hearing this, Emperor Hongde glanced outside the palace with a mocking look.
Emperor Hongde thought to himself, I want to see how you, Leng Xian, are going to climb up to the Golden Palace.
After hearing the impeachment of the censor just now, the most surprised people were the Duke Anguo and his son.
The father and his two sons exchanged glances...
what happened?
Is that such a coincidence!
How come the Censor impeached that beast Leng Xian before we even had the chance?
However, if that is the case, there is no need to be so cautious.
Duke Anguo Fu Peng took out the memorial, and just as the father and his two sons were about to present it, they heard a burst of crying and shouting coming from outside the hall.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent!
Your Majesty, I am innocent! "
Emperor Hong De was secretly happy that Leng Xian finally showed up.
