Chef Mad Queen

Chapter 1320 Tidying up the court
"Your Majesty, this Buddha statue was obtained during the raid on the Lan Family Chamber of Commerce. Duan Shilang saw that the Taifu liked this Buddha statue very much, so he kept it secret, and that's why..."

"Nonsense!" Zhou Guanghe yelled, "I have always treated you kindly, how could you betray me like this?!"

Xuanyuanchen patted Fuji angrily, and reprimanded: "Uncle Taichang, you are still here alone, how dare you be presumptuous?!"

"I don't dare." Zhou Guanghe had no choice but to suppress his anger, "This slave insults my innocence, how can I tolerate it."

"After he finishes speaking, I will have my own theory, and I will definitely not let Uncle Taichang suffer any grievances."

"Yes."

Xuanyuan Chen turned to ask another person in the hall: "What about you? What do you want to say?"

"Caomin is the accountant of the Taifu's mansion, and all the expenses and income of the Taifu's mansion go through the hands of Caomin." He said, and submitted the two accounts, "This is the account book of the Taifu's mansion, and please have a look at it. .”

The superintendent presented the ledger, and Xuanyuanchen asked, "Why is there red and blue distinctions in the ledger?"

"Your Majesty, red is for open accounts, and blue is for dark accounts, so we can distinguish them."

Xuanyuanchen first brought over the red account book, each entry and paragraph was clear, and there was nothing wrong with it; he picked up another book, and he frowned more and more as he read it.

Looking at Zhou Guanghe in the hall, beads of sweat on his temples were clearly visible, and his colleagues who were standing close to him seemed to hear his heart beating violently on his chest.

The silence above the court is more disturbing than the slaughter on the battlefield.

Feng Qian couldn't help asking in a low voice, "Archer, why did the atmosphere suddenly become so solemn?"

Xuanyuanche stroked her head lightly, and joked: "Qianqian didn't do anything wrong, so why are you also nervous?"

"How many people have you seen who are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door without doing anything wrong?"

Just like an exam, how can you judge someone for cheating because of nervousness?

"Uncle Tai Chang, Gu really underestimated you."

Xuanyuanchen put down the ledger, but he didn't see any anger, he just asked: "Lan's house was searched that day, Uncle Taichang drafted the receipt of goods, who will finalize it?"

The supervisor replied: "Return to the king, and it will be finalized and issued by the internal history order."

Neishi Ling is a relative of the Empress Dowager, and she is related to the king with a different surname. Now that Xuanyuan Chen asked, that Tai Shi Ling hurriedly came out and said: "Wang Shang Mingjian, I don't know about this matter. When Uncle Taichang of Shangshu ordered someone to send this document to Zhongshu Province, I only ordered Sheren to recite it according to the facts. I thought that there was no mistake, and I didn’t want to lose such a valuable thing. It is my negligence! "

It is customary for this internal history to avoid the important and take the light.

Xuanyuanchen turned sideways slightly, and looked at the Queen Mother from the corner of his eye. Inside the bead curtain, he saw the Queen Mother nodding her head as a signal, and he immediately ordered: "Come here, take down Taichang Bo and that Neishi Ling together!"

Immediately, the court was in a state of eruption. Uncle Taichang and Nei Shiling were the important ministers of the three provinces. The king turned his face when he said so. Those ministers immediately lost their minds and wanted to flee, but they were stopped by the guards outside. , For a while, those who knelt down knelt down, those who begged for mercy begged for mercy.

"Since I took charge of Beiyan alone, I have treated you all with respect, so that each of you has forgotten your duty as a courtier. If it weren't for you to wait for the table, why would Beiyan be taught by a little god?" To the extent of raising troops to rebel? Today, don't blame Gu for being rude!"

"Come here, Shangshu Taichangbo and Zhongshu Neishiling have seized the people's land and used power for personal gain; privately embezzled the treasury, released money to collect profits, enriched private pockets, and condoned the servants to collect accounts by force, resulting in death and injury. Both of them will be handcuffed " Xuanyuan Che waved the dark blue book in his hand, "I remember everything clearly, what else can you say?!"

The two courtiers were indisputable, and they were handcuffed by the guards immediately. Xuanyuanchen looked at Li Yuanxin standing majestically beside him, and said: "Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, I will entrust the case of the two of them to you. help, is there any difficulty?"

The Ministry of Criminal Affairs has always avoided serious cases involving important officials from the three provinces, because the three provinces are all high-ranking persons, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice is only one of the six departments under its jurisdiction, how can it dare to take such a case?

Li Yuanxin asked back: "The Ministry of Punishment is in charge of the criminal laws and regulations of a country. I don't know. Why did the king ask this question?"

Xuanyuan Che, who was behind Liang Zhu, heard Li Yuanxin's words, and couldn't help laughing: "Yuan Xin is really just like his father, he is a person who says what he has."

"As a minister, if you don't put your mind on how to govern the country, and only focus on personnel struggles, then it is really meaningless."

"He is so upright, I'm afraid that in the future..."

Feng Qian knew what Xuanyuanche was worried about, she just said: "As an elder brother, is it possible that you still can't trust your younger brother? Xiao Liu has good ears and eyes, even if Li Yuanxin offends his colleagues because of his outspoken words, is it possible that Xiao Liu can't tell the difference? ?”

Listening to the court, Xuanyuan Chen said: "Since that's the case, I will hand over this case to you, and you must do a thorough investigation for Gu!"

"The minister obeys the order."

The new official of the Ministry of Officials said: "Your Majesty, in this way, the positions in the three provinces will be hung up, which is not good for the country. Please tell me, who should take the post of Taichang Bo?"

This official from the Ministry of Officials was personally selected and appointed by Xuanyuanchen from the local area that day, and the Changli Sima he appointed was also capable. Every time I heard that Changli today is as prosperous as before, and Antai is still as it used to be, Xuanyuanchen finally felt a little bit better. Take it easy.

"Gu naturally has someone to choose." He said, ordering the attendant outside the gate to bring someone in.

This person had just entered the door, and the officials couldn't help being surprised, isn't this the great Confucian Zhou Chengjin who was dismissed by Queen Dayan that day?
I saw him knelt down on both knees, saluted upright and self-sufficient, and said: "Sinister, please pay attention to the king!"

"Don't be self-effacing, Duke Zhou. This appointment came a little too soon, but it's not in the way. It's just that during this time, Cheng Jin has been wronged."

It turned out that what this Zhou Chengjin said and did at the Beiyan banquet that day was all due to the collusion between Xuanyuanche and him in advance.

At that time, the courtiers in the court were very biased towards Shenyin Sect, so Xuanyuanche discussed with Xiaoliu and asked Zhou Chengjin, who was highly respected, to come forward and deliberately said that "Shenyin Sect can be established as a state religion", so that the courtiers had no worries and spoke freely.

It is clear who is in the Shenyin sect.

Feng Qian pretended to be annoyed, and landed her pink fist on Xuanyuanche's chest: "Okay you, at the banquet that day, you and Xiao Liu had discussed it in advance, and even I didn't know it!"

Xuanyuanche held her hand, and coaxed: "If Qianqian knew in advance, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to act out of anger. The courtiers like Beiyan are as cunning as foxes. I'm afraid that you will cheat me, so I simply hide it. It's okay to act in your true colors."

"What character is acting? In my opinion, the courtiers of Beiyan are cunning, but they are no more cunning than you, the former king of Beiyan!"

"Am I cunning?" Xuanyuanche pretended to be thinking, "It seems to be quite cunning, otherwise how could I make Queen Dayan so worried?"

"Who is worried?" Feng Qian turned around and ignored her.

However, the person behind was unwilling to let go, put the middle ring in his arms, and asked: "Do you really miss me?"

"..."

In the Ming Palace of the Gaotang, the sound of the Hong Zhong sounded slowly:

"Now, let Zhou Chengjin be the Taichang Bo of Beiyan Shangshu, and share the post of Zhongshu Ling with Feng Xiang. The two great ministers, the position of Zhongshuling is temporarily vacant. Please be more considerate."

Feng Cang and Zhou Chengjin bowed together with their hands behind their backs and said, "I accept the decree!"
