I, who disguised myself as a woman, turned out to be a queen! ?

Chapter 161: Dear gentlemen, please bow your head for me! ?

When Li Jiulang finished speaking, Xu Zisheng also came out and bowed his hands: "Xu Zisheng, the doctor of the Ministry of Finance, pays homage to your majesty."

Xu Zisheng's official position was a nominal one by recommendation, and he would get court uniforms. He was also registered in the yamen where he worked, but he had no real power, so he was just a nominal one.

Therefore, Xu Zisheng, a doctor, is incomparable to the powerful Liubu doctor like Tian Gui.

Xia Fengxiang nodded slightly and looked out the door.

However, the officials in the palace who were helpless because of Yang Guofu's matter were once again surprised.

They all knew that the seven or eight big boxes that Li Jiulang had brought, and they also speculated whether the contents inside were related to the affairs of the Queen Mother's Party.

But these seven or eight boxes are all the crimes of the Queen Mother's Party?
How much does this cost? !

And 120 per person!
That’s 120 per person!
At this time, several young eunuchs were seen carrying the seven or eight boxes in with some difficulty. Each box was heavy.

Seven or eight boxes are placed in the middle of the Zhonghe Hall.

There is no need for Li Jiulang to do anything.

After Xu Zisheng walked over, he asked the young eunuchs to move the box.

I saw words like 'three', 'four', 'five', 'state', 'county' and 'county' written on the box.
Xu Zisheng bowed to Xia Fengxiang again and handed over his hands: "Your Majesty, the words on the box are the crimes committed by the officials in the box. If there are three characters written on it, they are Zhu Kewen and others. However, although Wang Maoqing is from Zhongshushe, But because he was acting within Zhongshu Province and because he was a close confidant of Li Nichang, he was placed in the 'three'."

After saying that, Xu Zisheng bowed his hands and took a step back.

Xia Fengxiang glanced at the words on the boxes and looked at the ministers below: "Open all the boxes and take a look at them all to see what Li Nichang has done over the years. Let's talk after reading them."

Hearing this, Xu Zisheng immediately opened the boxes one by one.

The ministers in the palace were hesitant and looked at Xia Fengxiang and then at the boxes filled with ledgers and even letters.

Finally, Li Lingyun, the censor doctor, couldn't help but stepped forward and walked directly towards the third-grade box, but he just walked over.

Li Lingyun took a breath, because this was a box full of boxes, with the names of Wang Maoqing and Zhu Kewen written on the top.

Li Lingyun had some social relations with the Taifu, but it was only a small amount of communication. He was not considered a member of the Yang Party. In such a temple, he could only be regarded as desperately trying to protect himself.

But he is upright and can distinguish right from wrong.

I heard before that my son had a conflict with Su Changan in Xiuhu Manor, and there were even people from the Chixia Army. After knowing that the reason was that his son was dissatisfied, he immediately punished him, and even went to Su Zimu to apologize in person. .

At that time, he didn't know that Su Changan was the future queen.

Character can be seen in just such small things.

At that moment, Li Lingyun picked up a volume by Zhu Kewen and opened it directly.

then
Swish it!
I saw the old man's face suddenly change, and then he looked again. The ministers were a little curious when they saw it, and finally.
Second person, third person.
The people in the palace couldn't help but come forward to take a look.

People from the Yang Party have no intention of watching now. After all, Yang Guofu was demoted six levels in a row, directly from the third level to the fifth level. This is very disturbing.

Moreover, everyone in the Yang Party was a little scared. Today, His Majesty had Yang Guofu operated on, but what about tomorrow and the day after tomorrow?

This requires His Majesty to play with them like this every day.

Who can bear this.

So everyone still has the energy to do this.

However, Yang Guofu is always a smart person, and he knows that although the price is high, after all, it is just a beating on him, and the person is still alive.

And if he showed his dissatisfaction now, it might be continued again. He could see that this emperor was as unpredictable as the late emperor!
So he motioned to everyone in Yang's party and asked them to go up and have a look.

Moreover, except for Yang Guofu's business with her sister, Yang's party had nothing to do with the Queen Mother's party, so they didn't care about these matters.

for a while.
All the officials in the palace were surrounding these boxes.

"How unreasonable! How unreasonable! A small person who has become the magistrate of a county can be so ignorant of the value and gratitude to the Holy One, yet he commits such an outrageous act!!"

"Didn't Lin Yuqing have an outstanding case last year and was recommended to join the Ministry of Punishment? All these cases were done by himself? The thief shouts, catch the thief??"

"In the great summer, when the world is prosperous and prosperous, there are still people who actually kill villagers and pretend to kill bandits!?"

"Man and God are both outraged! Man and God are outraged! Your Majesty, the governor of Moyu actually committed the act of raping and killing a young child, and Wang Maoqing dared to recommend this person. Man and God are outraged, Your Majesty! I ask you to order Lingchi to be executed!"

……

When looking at these volumes, the anger on everyone's faces was self-evident. In just a moment, many loyal people were furious and resentful. They looked at Xia Fengxiang with the volumes in their hands.

Li Lingyun's face was extremely ugly. He had already read several volumes of Zhu Kewen, Wang Maoqing and others. Although he had not read them all, he had only read them casually. They were full of heinous crimes: "Zhu Kewen did these things that are worse than pigs and dogs." , How dare you lie outside and say that you deserve to enjoy the Ancestral Temple, you are spoiling your goods."

After saying this softly, Li Lingyun looked at Li Jiulang solemnly: "Master Li, these are all 100% true?!"

Li Jiulang bowed and cupped his hands and said, "Every item can be verified."

Snapped!
But Li Lingyun threw the volume in his hand into the box, then turned around and bowed his hands and said: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the Great Xia Dynasty, there have certainly been treacherous ministers, and there are countless people who are worse than pigs and dogs. They are unworthy of being my ministers in Great Xia, but There are very few people like Li Nichang, Zhu Kewen, Wang Maoqing and others who have committed these crimes. I request your Majesty to severely punish all officials involved!"

When Li Lingyun said these words, ministers immediately followed him: "Your Majesty, your ministers are unreasonable, and the people are resentful. However, your Majesty has both ability and political integrity, but the king of the court, Zhu and others, deceived the superiors and deceived the subordinates, and committed such acts that were worse than animals. , although you have deceived us and everyone else for so long, but where are the people? Your Majesty, please tell the world the crimes of these beasts, and clear my Daxia Lang Lang, so that the people of the world know that it is not me Daxia who is like this, but There are traitors and sycophants in the court who deceive the heavens!"

Yan Jingqing got Yang Guofu's hint, and now he held an account book and said: "Your Majesty, I also ask your Majesty to strictly investigate these people and restore the peace and prosperity of our country."

"Your Majesty, we must strictly investigate."

"Your Majesty, these people are inferior to pigs and dogs. They have insulted your Majesty's name, and even more insulted my name, Daxia. Your Majesty, please investigate them strictly!"

……

The officials said such things to Xia Fengxiang one by one.

Xia Fengxiang didn't say anything, just glanced at Feng Chun.

Feng Chun received the order, and after bowing respectfully, he carefully picked up the imperial edict on the table and walked to the front to unfold it.

When all the ministers saw it, they all bowed to listen to the order.

'By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict saying that the late emperor passed away, the country mourned and mourned, and the new king was established.'

A long list of imperial edicts was read out from Feng Chun's mouth.

A simple translation is, the late Emperor is dead. I, the Great Xiazi, have just ascended the throne. When I learned that the sinful woman Li Nichang was going to rebel, I gave her a chance, hoping that she would return from her lost ways, but I didn't expect that person. I am so greedy for profit that I don't care about anything, and I only want to rebel and kill me. Therefore, in order to preserve the foundation of Daxia, I have to plan everything.

But now, Li Nichang wanted to kill me and the queen when I went to Xingqing Palace with the queen. The queen killed her in order to protect me.

However, the main culprit Li Nichang died, but his followers Wang Maoqing, Zhu Kewen and others were still alive, so Su Wenqing, Yang Shanchang and others were allowed to interrogate the case.How to deal with it will be decided upon the final outcome of the joint review.

But if the situation is serious, they will be punished severely and will not be tolerated.

After hearing the imperial edict, all the ministers bowed and cupped their hands: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Xia Fengxiang stood up, walked to the front and said, "After you have finished reading the box, we will send it to the Criminal Department and hand it over to the Grand Master and the Grand Tutor. If you want to visit as a jury, you can also come and observe."

The ministers bowed again.

Xia Fengxiang glanced at Li Jiulang and said: "Li Jiulang asked himself for the ten most serious crimes. Although the charges are valid, everyone has seen his merits over the years. The merits and demerits are balanced. He will temporarily retain the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance until the Grand Master and the Grand Tutor." After they finish the interrogation and confirm that it really has nothing to do with Li Jiulang, they will make a decision."

Li Jiulang was stunned when he heard this.

It’s different from what was promised.

very different! !

The day before yesterday, when he was interviewing the saint, he had actually informed Xia Fengxiang of some of the contents of these boxes, and even apologized.

At that time, Li Jiulang said that only by being demoted could he convince the public.

but now
Xia Fengxiang didn't do anything to herself.
Although there is something like temporary detention, this is actually just for the outside world to listen to. This temporary detention has nothing to do with not being punished.

But
can not be like this!If this is the case, it will definitely be criticized!

After all, no matter how separated he and Li Nichang are, they are still brothers and sisters!
If you don't punish yourself, there will definitely be rumors among outsiders.

Li Jiulang had made it clear to Xia Fengxiang long ago.

This is absolutely not good for Xia Fengxiang, who has just revealed that he will completely control the government, let alone something that cannot happen!

Therefore, Li Jiulang immediately said: "Your Majesty, my minister."

When Li Jiulang opened his mouth, Xia Fengxiang had already walked down the steps, and then looked at the ministers and said: "My dear friends, I have been on the throne for three years, and countless things have happened during this period, but I don't need to tell you what I have done. You only need to know whether you made any mistakes when you were an official. I can see clearly whether you have made any mistakes. Some of you have been promised certain things by me, and I will do them for you. During this period, some people abandoned the dark and turned to the light, and I tolerated you. , that means I have forgiven you. As for what happens in the future, it depends on what you want to do."

Xia Fengxiang was talking while walking. When he said this, he had already reached the entrance of the main hall. Then Xia Fengxiang turned back to look at the ministers: "What I want to do is, because the late emperor failed to achieve his great wish and asked me to make Daxia the world." The First Empire wants my people in Great Xia to have enough food and clothing for generations to come. Although everything in the world is subject to change, everything is changing. Even if things are turbulent, if we keep our minds focused, nothing can be done. To do these things, the Queen and I are the only ones. If you can't do it, you still need help from all the ministers. Everyone, are you willing to bow your head for me?"

The officials in the hall were surprised and just looked at Xia Fengxiang who was standing at the door with a calm expression.

Some people were a little stunned. Looking at the empress in front of them who could be said to be a complete stranger today and completely different from those of the past three years, they just felt strange.

But looking at the empress who looked very similar to the late emperor, and especially hearing what the empress had just said, some veterans were stunned, as if they remembered the coveted late emperor back then.

It's going to change!
It’s really going to change! !

Some people cried out in their hearts.

Su Zimu, Zhang Gu, and Tian Gui were the first to stand up and bow, bending their hands and saying, "Your Majesty, Su Zimu (Tian Gui) (Zhang Gu), swear to the death!"

Someone took the lead.

The ministers who felt inexplicably agitated immediately stood up one after another.

Even though those in the Yang Party were still frightened, they still stood up one after another.

Xia Fengxiang looked at the ministers in the palace and smiled. It doesn't matter whether he is sincere or not. What needs to be said has been said, and that is enough.

Because Xia Fengxiang also said that it depends on them how to do these things next.

However, Xia Fengxiang also glanced at Li Jiulang, and found that Li Jiulang was staring at him, and turned his eyes away without saying anything.

Turning around and crossing the threshold of the Zhonghe Hall, Xia Fengxiang glanced at the vast imperial road in front of him. Nishang rebelled, and she also wanted to kill me, so I also learned from my father, 'Here is the great head. If you want it, come and get it.'"

While speaking, Xia Fengxiang glanced at Yang Guofu, Yan Jingqing and others.

It happened that these two people were also looking at the empress.

The moment their eyes met.

The two of them quickly lowered their heads, not daring to take a breath.

Xia Fengxiang said nothing and left directly.

Now that everything is done, the next step is the interrogation, and she also has a lot of things to do here, so how can she keep writing here.

"Congratulations to the Holy Majesty!"

Some young courtiers were filled with enthusiasm when they saw the empress's spirit, and they immediately greeted her respectfully.

After that, a sound of farewell sounded.

When the empress completely leaves
There were noisy sounds in the hall.

Li Jiulang stood at the door, watching the empress leave, with a look of disbelief and helplessness in his eyes, and finally bowed silently.

After Li Xingyue was rescued that day, he entered the palace to meet the saint.

After meeting the empress that day, Li Jiulang went straight to the point and said, "I am willing to be loyal to Your Majesty, but I only want my little daughter's health." '

The empress smiled and asked, "Is it true or false?" '

Li Jiulang said, "After Your Majesty agrees, I can prove it."

The empress smiled and said, "You do yours and I'll look after mine. If you do well, I'll keep your Li family safe." '

Li Jiulang didn't say much, but he never expected that the empress would really repay his Li family.

From that time on, he had been prepared to be demoted or even exiled. He only wanted his daughter Xingyue to be well.

after all
How could any emperor tolerate a minister like him?

but now
The empress really tolerated him.

Li Jiulang bowed silently, feeling complicated?It doesn’t seem complicated. As for emotions, there are some, but not many.
On the contrary, he felt very calm. He had not been so calm for a long time. After all, he occasionally thought about his own fate and worried about what would happen to his daughter.Now I don't have to think about it anymore, and I feel completely calm.

For the rest, I just want to do things, do everything within my ability for the emperor who has shown his talents.

Su Zimu walked to Li Jiulang at this time: "Master Li, let's take the box to the Criminal Department. There are already rumors outside. It is better to interrogate the criminal woman and others as soon as possible, and then tell the world about the guilty woman and others as soon as possible. Only then can the people’s hearts be reassured.”

Li Jiulang nodded immediately when he heard this.

When the ministers saw this, many people expressed their intention to go with them.

After all, His Majesty said it just now, but you can go to the sidelines, seeing the crimes committed by Wang Maoqing and others, how can you not go to see it!

So all of a sudden
Amidst the uproar and curses, many ministers followed Su Zimu and Li Jiulang as they walked towards the Yamen of the Criminal Department.

Yan Jingqing supported Yang Guofu and hesitated, not knowing what to say.

Yang Guofu looked at Yan Jingqing with one eye: "Immediately tell Yu Lang that there must be no selfish motives this time. The same goes for those under you. The river embankment must not be touched this time."

Yan Jingqing nodded: "I know. You are the rich man of the country."

Yang Guofu was still frightened, and he breathed a deep sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter if I'm still alive, and dad is fine, and everything is fine."

After saying this, Yang Guofu raised his eyes and looked at the bustling ministers in front of him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Your Majesty's ability to establish authority and win over people's hearts today is indeed worthy of being a disciple of the late Emperor."

Yan Jingqing frowned, looked around and then lowered his voice: "His Majesty plotted against us today and used us to establish his power. I think some of his subordinates may have second thoughts when they see you being demoted. Moreover, Li Jiulang suddenly Every one of the charges he is pleading for seems to be directed at Li Nichang, but they are completely aimed at us. The officials below were frightened by His Majesty's sudden move, and they may be afraid of death and do something. Do you want to take precautions? .”

Yang Guofu frowned: "If you don't say that, go back first and wait until dad comes back to discuss it. Besides, I, Yang Guofu, took the position of minister and exchanged my life for more than three million taels of silver. It's worth it! It's nothing. As for those who want to do, let them do whatever they want, we just need to keep ourselves in troubled times."

Yan Jingqing also knew that this was not the place to talk, so he nodded, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "You don't know that I'm really sweating seeing His Majesty like this today."

Yang Guofu shook his head helplessly, but after thinking for a moment, he said, "Thanks to me. If dad was like this, how would he do it?"

When Yan Jingqing heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up: "The wealth of the country is amazing."

Yang Guofu was complacent, just because he thought that he had blocked this disaster for his father!
As long as Dad doesn’t fall, Party Yang is still here!

……

Su Changan didn't know what his wife had done.

He didn't even know that Xia Fengxiang would come to him at night to show off crazily.

He just knows.

The large pile of official documents in front of him required him to read them all and make a decision immediately.

And these.
Just the tip of the iceberg.

However, among these matters, the first thing that bears the brunt is the placement of the palace officials who are related to Li Nichang, and the filling of vacancies for some of the female officials.

……

Ps: Share a cute sentence that came to mind today.

When the summer wind blew by my ears, it whispered, "I'm going to heat you to death."
