Joy of Life: I, a man, became the Queen of Northern Qi?

Chapter 65: More than seven million taels!
"Mother!?"

The little emperor had a look of disbelief on his face. He looked at the empress dowager behind the pearl curtain, his expression revealing confusion: Now is obviously the best opportunity to establish the empress, why are you hesitating, mother?

The two had previously exchanged views privately.

Li An knew his secret and was loyal to him. Now that he became the queen and had the help of the queen mother, there would be no hidden dangers in the harem.

At the same time, Li An also has the ability to allow the mother and daughter to better control the government, not to mention that he also knows some information from unknown channels.
Backstab!

The backstab came so suddenly, and when the ministers saw this, they would probably seize the opportunity to send their daughters into the palace to compete for the position of Queen!
The queen mother had no expression on her face, but she emphasized her tone and said, "I've said, we'll discuss this later!"

She turned her head, looked at Li An, and asked, "De Fei, what do you think about this matter?"

"It's all up to the Queen Mother."

Li An smiled gently, but he felt nervous inside.

He understood that perhaps he had gone too far during this period, causing the woman to become alert!
But this is not an option, as the Qing Kingdom is about to attack.
By then, Northern Qi had been defeated and the royal prestige had declined. It would be questionable whether the words of Concubine De in the harem would still have any weight.

In the whole court, isn't it Uesugi Tora who has the loudest voice? He has the military power in his hands, so awesome!
But will Ang Lee allow anyone to be more awesome than him?
Queen Mother, right? All right! I'll take note of it. I'll find a chance to give you a big one sooner or later!

Silently, she gave the little emperor a look, signaling her to be patient, there was no rush for this matter, she had indeed just entered the palace not long ago, her foundation was not very solid yet, and she didn't know what Zhuang Mohan was thinking! She wanted to borrow his name to justify her reputation, but he returned the favor and directly gave her a one-step solution!
Seeing the discussion in the hall gradually fade away and slowly quiet down, Li An cleared his throat and began to fight back:

"Everyone, now that I have explained clearly your accusations against me, and I have also gained the approval of everyone in Zhuang, then, do you have any objections to this?" This was exactly the tone in which the empress dowager asked herself, and now she was simply applying it to the ministers.

In the field, all the ministers were still grateful for the Queen Mother's final decision.

With just one sentence, she destroyed the conspiracy of this evil concubine. She is truly the backbone of the court, the pillar of stability.
Unexpectedly, this time around, Concubine De used a similar trick. Before we have any objections, you are going to bring up the matter of establishing a queen again, right?
Shameless!
"I have no objection!"

"I have no objection either!"

"."

These voices were not made by the "stooges" arranged by Zhuang Mohan.

A scene that shocked everyone happened. The prime minister spoke first, and several regents followed closely and gave the answer!

Afterwards, Zhuang Mohan's disciples seemed to react, and they all stepped out and bowed, saying, "I have no objection!"

For a time, the voices praising Concubine De's virtue became the mainstream.
This world is so magical, even the mouse is the bridesmaid for the cat!
Several ministers who had opposed Li An in the beginning, including the Imperial Censor Ma Fu, were staring blankly at the prime minister and his men in the front, still somewhat incredulous.
“This lesson will benefit you for the rest of your life.”

A few people laughed bitterly, shook their heads and joined the crowd. It seemed that today's matter would end in vain. As for the Xishan Mine, they had to find another way!
Low EQ: Remember it for a lifetime;

High emotional intelligence: lifelong benefits!

They now completely understand the true colors of the Prime Minister and several university scholars, and they will surely be rewarded in the future!
Originally, all the ministers were mobilized today and many people had already been connected to make a big mess, but they didn't expect that in the end, they would make a big mess. How could they accept this?
"That's good!"

Li An smiled generously, as if he didn't care about what happened before.

Just when everyone thought that today's incident was over and nothing would happen again, Li An spoke again, "Since my business is over, then next, let's talk about the affairs of the adults!"

What does the demon concubine mean? Is she preparing for a Jedi counterattack?

I want to see what you have to say!

All the ministers are united in hatred and resentment for letting you win a small victory. Why are you so proud? There is still a long time to come. After I send my daughter to the palace and please the queen mother, I will have many ways to deal with you, the evil concubine!
"His Majesty."

Li An bowed slightly to the little emperor.

Zhan Doudou said loudly: "Yu Huatian from Xuanxi Factory, come in."

Soon, the voice of the eunuch leader Gao Zhongxian spread
This sound made many people feel nervous. Considering that there were fewer officials in the palace today and many familiar ministers did not come to court, they inexplicably developed an ominous premonition.

Yu Huatian's steps were silent, swift and quick. He looked high-spirited and quite powerful.

He took the lead, passed all the ministers, and knelt respectfully on the ground, shouting: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Your servant's mission has been completed!"

As the little emperor nodded, Yu Huatian waved back.
"Go in! Go, kneel down"

More than a dozen figures with chains on their hands and feet, bent at the waist, walked into the hall, guarded by skilled men of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The last person to enter the hall received special treatment: he was not put in shackles and felt relaxed. Although he was wearing simple robes, he stood straight, like a pine tree.

This was led solely by the Imperial Guard Commander Wei Xin.

This. This is Lord Wang Lin!

Seeing that he is not wearing his official uniform, has he been thrown into prison?
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yu Huatian took out a booklet and had the eunuch present it to the little emperor. He then said, "Your Majesty, the people here are only the main culprits. The rest of the accomplices were arrested by the Western Factory in collaboration with the Jinyiwei, Jinwuwei, and Jingzhao Prefecture! They are now being held in the Jingzhao Prefecture prison!"

Nodding, the little emperor waved to Yu Huatian. After Yu Huatian stood up and walked to the side, he asked, "Wang Lin, did you ever think that this day would come?"

Wang Lin had a blank expression on his face. He had been under house arrest in the palace for the past few days and had already expected this day.

Something is bound to happen, but what the outcome will be is not something I can know. It depends on what charges Concubine De wants to bring.

He knelt down gracefully, still showing some dignity.

Seeing that Wang Lin did not answer, the little emperor gestured to Gao Zhongxian again and said, "Announce the decree!"

Under the inexplicable gazes of the prime minister and other important officials, Gao Zhongxian took out a piece of silk and read aloud: "All officials, listen to my order!"

"The Minister of Works, the Minister of Revenue, the Minister of Personnel, the garrison commander of Shangjing, the Junior Secretary of the Honglu Temple, and the Imperial Academy Scholar colluded with the Minister of War Wang Lin and the wealthy merchant Rong Jia, and colluded with them to deceive the emperor and pervert the law, accept bribes, smuggle iron ore, and take human lives lightly, harming the country and the people."

"After investigation, more than 190,000 taels of silver and 2,000 taels of gold were found in the residence of Minister of War Wang Lin; two silver vaults in the suburbs containing a large amount of silver, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry, totaling more than 1.8 million taels; and a number of smuggling account books."

"."

"The evidence is now irrefutable. They are all guilty of unforgivable crimes. They must all be dismissed from their posts, their property confiscated, and no one in their family will ever be employed again. The main culprit will be punished along with his entire clan."

All stolen money, total
More than seven million taels!
