Chapter 41 The authority of Yu Zhiji

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, the entire Xuanzheng Hall was in an uproar.

"Bold, you..."

Hu Xiaosheng pointed at Mo Zizai and was about to say something, but he heard a "clang" sound. The dragon was unsheathed and placed it on his neck, and asked him to hold back the rest of the words.

"Your Majesty, you have... say something, don't... don't do it."

The extremely cold dragon sword was placed on Hu Xiaosheng's neck, leaving his cold sweat. He really didn't expect that Mo Zizai would draw the sword if he had a disagreement.

This is in the Golden Palace, my god.

Hu Xiaosheng said tremblingly: "Prince, what should I do wrong? Tell me, I will change it."

"Stop talking about rebellion. You are a noble man, so how can you say that you are the one who commits your own rebellion?"

Not only Hu Xiaosheng, but the entire Golden Palace was a little nervous. Even the Yulin Army pressed their hands on the hilt of the knife. Although the empress said that Mo Zizai could have no taboos in the palace, no taboos did not mean that he would rebel.

If the Empress hadn’t expressed anything now, I’m afraid they would have pounced on her and taken down Mo Zizai as soon as possible.

Yang Weishang, the chief assistant of the cabinet, was also a little scared at first. When he was about to stand up to dissuade Mo Zizai, he looked up and saw Qiu Wuping who had been standing next to the empress.

The old guy closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep. He seemed to know nothing about what happened in Xuanzheng Hall. The empress next to him also reacted strangely. Although her expression was also very surprised, she seemed to have no panic.

Seeing these, Yang Weishang immediately knew it. He stood halfway through his body and sat back again, quietly watching the farce in front of him.

"Mo Zizai, Lord Hu is a third-rank minister of the court. You dare to hold him hostage. You are rebelling!"

Just as Mo Zizai was about to say something, a sudden burst of shouting from the officials was heard, which surprised Mo Zizai and Hu Xiaosheng. The two turned around and found that the person who said this was Du Xing, the Minister of Justice.

"This grandson is so bad."

Mo Zizai felt a little moved. Du Xing obviously wanted to make up his rebellion, and by the way, he killed Hu Xiaosheng. It was really killing two birds with one stone.

But Mo Zizai could understand it. After all, Du Xing's son was understood by him because he wanted to die. Hu Xiaosheng was directly the same as him. Anyway, he was not from the same faction as him, and he would die if he died.

As for Hu Xiaosheng, if the sword had not been erected around his neck, he would have slapped Du Xing with two big mouths. It would have been too fucking.

"Prince, don't listen to his nonsense. How can you be considered hostage? You are...yes..."

Hu Xiaosheng thought for a long time, but he didn't think about how to defend Mo Zizai. He stuttered there for a long time.

"I'm having fun with you."

Mo Zizai had no intention of killing Hu Xiaosheng now. He raised his arm slightly, put his sword back into the sheath, and said lightly: "I was slandered by Lord Hu, and I was angry for a moment. Didn't I scare Lord Hu?"

"No...no."

Hu Xiaosheng wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, then quickly took a few steps back, away from Mo Zizai.

"Suddenly angry?"

Qian Min, the Minister of Revenue, snorted coldly and said angrily: "The prince drew his sword to intimidate the third-rank official. Can this be considered a moment of anger?"

"What, I'm allowed him to slander me, and I'm not allowed to intimidate him?"

"Why do you think of slander?"

Qian Min, the Minister of Revenue, who was hiding in the crowd, was not afraid of Mo Zizai. He shouted loudly: "You instruct your men to copy the home of a third-rank official for no reason. Isn't this slander?"

"I said Mr. Qian, are you deaf?"

Mo Zizai looked at Qian Min in the crowd and said sarcastically: "I said it clearly and suspected that he deceived the king and did not follow the emperor, so he wanted to go and conquer his home."

After listening to Mo Zizai's explanation, Qian Min became even more angry, "Just just by doubting you will be going to copy the home of a third-rank official. What's wrong with you? "

"The court has its own rules and regulations. Don't say that you suspect that he deceives the king and the emperor. Even if he really commits such a heinous crime, he will have its own laws and regulations to punish him."

"You have no right to directly confiscate Lord Hu's house. Not to mention you, even Your Majesty can't do this."

Qian Min was right. Third-rank officials are already the core and important officials of the court. Such ministers are not only suspected, even if they really commit the crime of deceiving the emperor and being unfair, they can only be tried by the Three Jurisdictions. After the final conviction, they can only be confiscated or other punishments.

Such people who come up and search their houses directly are indeed no different from rebellion.

"Sorry, your Majesty can't, I can."

Mo Zizai leaned on his sword with both hands, and a smile appeared on his face, "I will introduce it again. I am currently the leader of the Yuzhi Department. I suspect that Lord Hu deceived the emperor and wanted to conquer his home."

"Old Master Qian, do you think this is much more reasonable? Is it very consistent with the laws of the court?"

"I...Ichiji?"

When he heard the three words "Yuzhishi", not only Qian Min, but everyone was shocked, especially Du Xing, the Minister of Justice. He subconsciously blurted out, "Isn't Yuzhishi being cut off?"

After hearing Du Xing say that Yuzhishi was laid off, Zhou Qi asked lightly, "Mr. Du, I wonder when my Yuzhishi was laid off?"

“Just…”

Du Xing was about to say three years ago, but his words suddenly froze, because he suddenly remembered that although Zhou Qi went to protect Mo Zizai, Yuzhishi gradually became an empty yamen, and even the tent was occupied by other yamen.

But even so, Yuzhishi did not abolish it because it was directly under the jurisdiction of the emperor. If the emperor did not speak, no one could abolish Yuzhishi.

Looking at Du Xing who was frozen in place, Mo Zizai waved his hand, "Chen Ying, go and help Lord Hu count his property to see if he deceived the emperor or not."

"Wait a minute!" Hu Xiaosheng, who had been hiding far away, suddenly became anxious, "Even if you are Yuzhishi, why should you copy the official's home without evidence?"

This time, because there was no Mo Zizai's sign, Chen Ying ignored Hu Xiaosheng at all and took people to Hu Xiaosheng's mansion outside the palace.

"Sorry, Lord Hu."

Mo Zizai's smile on his face was a little bright, but his smile was full of sarcasm, "I, Yuzhiji, never need evidence."

Hearing Mo Zizai's words, Xuanzheng Palace suddenly fell into silence, because Mo Zizai's words were one of the greatest authority of Yuzhiji. He handled the case directly without evidence.

But this kind of authority cannot be easily used. If you find that it is a wrong case after handling the case, then the chief of the Imperial Department will pay the price for it. The least is to be dismissed, and in serious cases, you may even lose your life directly.

So this authority was never used once when Zhou Qi was the Master of the Secretariat. Unexpectedly, when Mo Zizai was the Master of the Secretariat, he would use his ultimate move when he came up.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Hu Xiaosheng with a hint of sympathy.

Hu Xiaosheng must have been determined. It depends on how much he has embezzled. If it is too little, maybe it will be done with a dismissal and investigated. But if he is too greedy, he will probably be beheaded and displayed in public.

However, thinking of Hu Xiaosheng's usually greedy personality, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads in their hearts.
