Chapter 580
After Su Mianyue asked, the hall was eerily silent.

Some people lowered their heads for fear of being called out by name, some people stuck their necks and said silently that what they said was true, and some people hung up their heads as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

Only a few people were hesitant to speak, and they looked as if they didn't want this matter to continue, but they didn't make a sound after all.

Although Su Mianyue was always embarrassed at the court meeting recently, even the people who received her orders in the court hall did not do things quickly and efficiently, this is the time when everyone is watching Su Mianyue's ability.

After looking around indifferently, Su Mianyue pointed to the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and asked: "The Minister of the Ministry of Rites had the loudest voice when I said that there was a shortage of people in each ministry. Now you can speak on behalf of everyone. How many people does this Palace know about the Six Divisions, especially since this Palace has never issued a few orders after presiding over the government, how can the officials of the Six Divisions be so busy that they cannot perform their duties?"

Su Mianyue's voice was still very soft, making people feel as if they were soaking in the spring breeze, but Ji Xiang and Eunuch Qing, who were standing around Su Mianyue, glanced at them and lowered their heads.

After serving this master for so long, they also know a thing or two about Su Mianyue's temperament, and know that someone will be unlucky today, but they will not foolishly remind anyone, otherwise they will be the unlucky ones.

The minister of the Ministry of Rites who was named had no choice but to go out and answer. Before going out, he exchanged glances with several other ministers, but in his heart he was at war between heaven and man.

In fact, these ministers are all betting that Su Mianyue is a woman who has no decisive courage, and dare not make fun of Jiangshan. After all, Su Mianyue is only temporarily acting as the government. scruples, thus affecting the feelings of the empress.

The officials promoted by various ministries are their disciples and have nothing to do with the Tian family.

If they win, the power in their hands will be even greater, and Ji Xun will not touch them in the slightest when he returns to the court. At that time, as long as they push the responsibility to Su Mianyue, only Su Mianyue will suffer.

But since it is a gamble, there is also the possibility of losing, and once you lose, you will lose your wealth and life.

Su Mianyue didn't urge her, but just waited for the Minister of the Ministry of Officials to speak.

Seeing that his expression changed very quickly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth showed a hint of sarcasm, it seemed that the six parts were not merged, so it would be easier for her.

"Back to the Queen, the Ministry of Officials is in charge of the officials of the world. Nowadays, there are so many officials from all over the country that need to be supplemented. Even the turmoil in the capital due to the change of imperial power has also damaged a large number of officials. Many officials need to be responsible for several errands. I am tired and unable to serve the country wholeheartedly, so I ask the empress to play." Minister of the Ministry of Officials thought over and over again, but still gritted his teeth and made a firm statement.

Su Mianyue smiled and said three good words, and said playfully: "In this way, if I don't allow the performance, I will become a demon queen who will bring disaster to the country and the people, and a sinner of Yan State. What the Minister of the Ministry of Officials said is this. mean?"

"I'm terrified." The Minister of the Ministry of Officials hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "I don't have this intention, and the emperor also suggested adding officials when he was in the court, so I will make a suggestion."

Using Ji Xun to suppress Su Mianyue, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials used it even more ruthlessly.

At this time, if Su Mianyue said that she had always been aware of the affairs of the previous dynasty and that she had mischievous intentions, then she would truly confirm her title as Demon Empress.

But if she really keeps silent, she can only be led by the nose, how can Su Mianyue let everyone get what they want.

Her white fingertips tapped on the armrests. Although she was acting as the supervisor of the country, she was not the real emperor after all, so she was sitting on a phoenix couch, and the table case was placed at a distance from the imperial case to show respect for the emperor.

Because through the bead curtain, Su Mianyue could see the various expressions of the officials, but the officials couldn't see Su Mianyue's appearance, let alone his expression.

However, this crisp percussion made many people feel drums in their hearts. As soon as they heard such a rhythmic melody, they knew that Su Mianyue was confident, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was even more frightened. I almost said that what I said just now was a joke.

However, after receiving the look from his colleagues, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials saluted again and said: "I also ask the empress to be sympathetic to the ministers, and open Enke to recruit new officials, so as to make up for the lack of officials in the six departments."

After the Minister of the Ministry of Officials said this, he didn't hear any sound from the hall for a long time, and his heart was even more panicked.It was not because of Su Mianyue's silence, but because those colleagues who had agreed to advance and retreat together did not make a sound at all. This is to test the waters with him.

No matter how much the Minister of the Ministry of Officials hated him, he could only persevere to the end at this time.

Su Mianyue mockingly glanced at the silent officials, then gave Jixiang a wink.

Then I saw Jixiang striding forward a few steps, opened a booklet and read aloud: "On the tenth day of April, the Empress ordered the officials of the Ministry of Officials to transfer the files of officials in various places. All the officials from the Ministry of Officials went to Piaoxiang Building to drink and prostitute until the end of the Xu Dynasty, and all the officials from the Ministry of Officials went back to their residences at the end of the Xu Dynasty.

Ji Xiang's voice was very loud, and he was chanting some trivial matters, but these words made the official minister who was kneeling on the ground bend his back, and the cold sweat on his face fell to the ground.

The State of Yan does not prohibit officials from going whoring, but as a minister, he leads a group of officials to go whoring while on duty, and he will not do court affairs in a positive way, and this happened more than once. This is simply the rhythm of courting death.

After Ji Xiang finished reading, he bowed in Su Mianyue's direction and asked, "Empress Empress, do you want to read the other parts together?"

Ji Xiang's voice was loud and thin, but this short sentence made many people sweat profusely, almost kneeling down to beg for forgiveness.

Su Mianyue was silent for a while before she opened her mouth, but she asked the courtiers: "Your family, do you think I should allow Jixiang to continue reading?"

The officials of the official department were ashamed, and the officials of the other five departments were not much better, even if some people fell to the ground in fright.

Su Mianyue said lightly, "Since your health is not good, then go back to the mansion to rest, and next time you will resign and return to your hometown."

The official hurriedly knelt and kowtowed as if he had been pardoned, and staggered out of the hall.

The people in the fifth department also breathed a sigh of relief because of Su Mianyue's words, and immediately understood that Su Mianyue didn't want to do it all at once, otherwise, even if they couldn't kill all of them, some of them would be unlucky.

Everyone lowered their heads and secretly looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials. Although they used a different method from the Ministry of Rites, it is true that they delayed the decree and did not act. Now that Su Mianyue is willing to give them a way out, no one will be stupid of not striving for performance opportunities.

The Minister of the Ministry of Rites hurriedly came out and pointed at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, angrily scolded in disappointment: "Master Zhang, you and I have been officials in the same dynasty for decades, how could you do such absurd things? You are so... alas, you are so ashamed of the emperor." How can Mr. Zhang do the thing of grace?"

Minister of the Ministry of Rites has always been known for his gentleness, so it is impossible to say harsh words in public, but it is just to show an attitude.

As for him sighing and closing his eyes, it was just because he didn't dare to look at the Minister of the Ministry of Officials because he was guilty.

Later, several ministers came forward to criticize the Minister of Rites, but no one mentioned whether they should be convicted or not.

Seeing that these officials wanted to be good to her, but wanted to leave room for her, Su Mianyue sneered and watched them play, and after everyone didn't know what else to say, she said to Ji Qin: "King Yong'an, when the emperor leaves I once said to this palace that if you don’t know anything about government affairs, you can rely on King Yong’an a lot, but I don’t know how King Yong’an thinks that the Minister of Officials and the officials of the Ministry of Rites should deal with it properly?”
