Empress: Your Majesty, please respect yourself, I don't want to be promoted

As he said that, he slowly picked up the teacup on the side and said calmly: "It's getting late. If there is nothing else, Minister Cao should go back first. Now that the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel is high, Minister Ye hates Lu again. "Morning, your Majesty is suspicious of this. If Shilang Cao is interested in this, he might as well think carefully about what should be fought for, what must be fought for, and what cannot be done after returning home."

As soon as these words came out, Cao Siming completely understood that Yan Song, the chief minister of the dynasty who had been in power for more than ten years, could not be counted on.

So he stopped talking nonsense.

"Excuse me, Mr. Yan Ge, for your advice. I will visit you another day to express my thanks and take my leave."

Yan Song coughed twice and said softly: "Servant Cao, walk slowly."

Cao Siming turned and left.

Looking at his leaving figure, Yan Song shook his head inexplicably.

"It's a good knife, but it's a pity."

He murmured to himself with emotion, and then moved his gaze slightly away to look at the gradually darkening sky outside. His cloudy old eyes gradually became darker.

"What is the world like for one person? It can be decided by just one person. How can others interfere? All the saint kings are ants, and their arms are like chariots. What is their power? If they don't leave a useful body, how can they plan for great things?"

...............

The next day, early morning.

Without any hesitation, Lu Chen stood up the moment the big pilgrimage ended.

"Your Majesty, I have the original play."

Seeing how impatient he was, Cao Siming's face suddenly darkened, and a hint of gloom quietly flashed in his eyes.

Jiang Chengwan's face didn't look strange at all. He had obviously expected this, but he still asked knowingly: "Please speak, Mr. Lu."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Lu Chen stood up, and then with a serious face told what happened when he was off duty yesterday.

As he told the story, the officials had different expressions, and many of them looked thoughtful, as if they were planning something.

But until Lu Chen finished speaking, no one stood up to interrupt or stop. Everyone became an excellent audience and listened silently to Lu Chen's statement. Even Qian Yiqian, who was the most noisy in the past, now It was as if they didn't hear anything and didn't react at all.

"I would like to convene a joint trial of the three departments, which will be presided over by the Criminal Department, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate. A group of military attachés from the Governor's Office will also participate in the trial and try the case together!"

At the end of the sentence, Lu Chen bowed again and spoke sincerely, obviously intending to be serious to the end.

As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Siming came out directly.

"Your Majesty, I object to what Lu Shangshu said."

He first expressed his attitude directly, and then said: "The temple only discusses major world affairs, and everything must be based on our country and the country of Daxia, with the overall situation as the priority. Now Yuzhou is not the only army that is suppressing the rebellion in Tianlan Province. Wei, Suizhou Guard, Qingzhou Guard and other Qingning Army Guards are also fighting bravely against the enemy and fighting to the death against the rebels. Regardless of whether the matter is true or false, at this critical juncture, if the court wants to If you want to punish the Qingzhou Guard for a trivial matter, the guards fighting on the front line must be mentally unstable and have no intention of suppressing the thieves."

"If the rebels are given a chance to breathe, they will definitely become rogue thieves and cause harm to all provinces. They may even come back one day, causing endless troubles."

When he said this, his eyes became extremely solemn, and he looked concerned about the country and the people.

"Wei Chen is not defending the guilty. If the facts are true as Lu Shangshu said, Wei Chen will never intercede for these scum. However, there are priorities and priorities. The top priority is to quell the rebellion in Tianlan Province. Therefore, the morale of the army must not be shaken, otherwise the army will have no fighting spirit. How can the two guards of Yu and Sui suppress the thieves? Therefore, Wei Chen suggested that this matter be shelved for the time being, and we can wait until the matter of Tianlan Province is settled before we discuss it."

As soon as these words came out, all the courtiers looked at Cao Siming.

Immediately afterwards, before they could think about Cao Siming's words, Tang Yue, the left minister of the Ministry of War, came out with a wat tablet in his hand and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I believe that Cao Siming's words are reasonable. Now the war in Tianlan Province has reached a critical stage. At that time, the bandits will be wiped out and the world will be at peace. No matter what happens now, we should focus on suppressing the bandits. We must not put the cart before the horse. Your Majesty, please be clear."

Another third-level boss stood up, and the expressions of the others finally changed.

The atmosphere today is a bit off...

As the second-in-command of the Ministry of Personnel and the second-in-command of the Ministry of War spoke out in opposition one after another, their people also came out one after another.

Jiang Chengwan looked at the scene in front of him expressionlessly, with a hint of coldness in his eyes.

"What do you mean..."

Her red lips parted slightly, and she spoke slowly, unhurriedly:

"For the sake of the so-called overall situation, the court should let them do whatever they want, right?"

Chapter 247 Domineering

As soon as Jiang Chengwan finished speaking, all the courtiers suddenly looked stern.

Cao Siming's expression changed slightly.

Your Majesty...do you really still prefer Lu Chen...

"Your Majesty, please calm down. I have no intention of doing so."

He bowed heavily and hurriedly defended himself.

"Wei Chen just thinks that the counter-insurgency matters in Tianlan Province are very important and cannot make any mistakes, so..."

However, before he could finish speaking, Jiang Chengwan interrupted coldly:

"So this is what they rely on to do whatever they want, right?!"

As the words fell, a terrifying power of the Supreme poured out, filling every corner of the Tai Chi Hall in an instant. Except for Lu Chen, almost everyone felt their breathing suddenly stagnant, and their bodies suddenly became extremely heavy. .

The air in the entire Tai Chi Hall seemed to be frozen.

Seeing that the empress directly released her pressure and looked like she was going to take action, all the courtiers immediately fell into silence. Cao Siming, Tang Yue and others even broke out in cold sweat.

"Wang Gan!"

Jiang Chengwan suddenly called his name.

Wang Gan smiled bitterly and stood up.

"Wei Chen is here."

Jiang Chengwan looked at him condescendingly, and even though he was separated by a bead curtain, Wang Qian instinctively felt an extremely sharp gaze.

"Tell me, except for the Yuzhou Guard and the Suizhou Guard, does the Qingning Army have to be coaxed and unconditionally led by the imperial court before they are willing to serve the imperial court?"

"You, the majestic commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, supervise the Seventh Army, a hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and waste 10 taels of military resources every year. Is this the kind of thing you bring out in the end?!"

Bang!

Having said this, she slammed the dragon chair and stood up.

"Or do you mean that because they think they have done a good job in countering the rebellion, they can be arrogant and ignore the local people and the national laws and military regulations?"

"Have we, the country of Great Xia, fallen to the point where we have to count on such things? Ah?!"

Faced with Jiang Chengwan's repeated questions, Wang Qian's complexion turned pale to the naked eye.

At this time, he almost scolded Cao Siming and the eighteen generations of Tang Yue ancestors in his heart. Damn it, these dog-like things. Originally, the Yuzhou Guard and Suizhou Guard had killed the bandit leader, and the bandit army was all over the line. After being defeated, the other guards of the Qingning Army can easily gain a lot of merit as long as they fight with the wind behind them.

Although they did not have the first merit, Yuzhouwei and Suizhouwei ate meat, and they could at least drink some soup. No matter what, the court could not treat them badly.

It was a happy ending for everyone, and the food was already on their lips, but this idiot Tang Bin decided to smash the pot!

The Qingzhou Guard was originally the first guard of the Qingning Army, and it was understandable that they were a little arrogant. However, they were unable to kill them for several years. Instead, the rebels who allowed them to become powerful were defeated in one fell swoop by the two guards trained by Lu Chen.

The verdict has already been made, how can this guy have the face to challenge Zhang Shiping?It would be nice if someone would be kind enough to give him a sip of soup!

Whoever has the most merit should set the rules. Zhang Shiping, who was the first to break the city, set the rules. It's okay for Tang Bin's people to be ungrateful. If you break the rules, you have to accept the punishment. This is understandable. Hand these people over. This matter It's over.

Lower your head a little, and do what you should do. Whoever makes his mistake comes first.

As a result, this guy wanted to regain his face.

This time, not only did he offend the evil star Lu Chen, but he also offended the empress Long Yan.

Moreover, this mess also dragged him, the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, into the water.

He also hoped to make great achievements before handing in his resignation so that he could retire with honor. Seeing the two guards of Yu and Sui defeating the bandit army, repeatedly performing extraordinary feats and making great achievements in the sky, Tang Bin suddenly appeared like this. At this moment , Wang Qian raised his sword and was ready to fight Tang Bin.

As expected, these old generals and disciples are still unreliable!

"Are you deaf?"

Jiang Chengwan's angry scolding sounded again.

"Tell me what I said!"

Wang Qian suddenly looked stern.

"His Majesty."

He hurriedly said: "The old minister was not strict with his subordinates, which led to many conflicts within the Qingning Army. Some generals were favored and arrogant, and even made such a ridiculous joke. Please punish me. I have no complaints." !”

At the end of the sentence, he clenched his teeth slightly.

When the emperor asks for guilt, as long as it is not a matter of life and death, it is best to admit his mistakes and give in.

Otherwise, what else can be done?Are you going to quarrel with the emperor?

It's completely pointless to argue based on reason, it's really stupid.

Not to mention that Li is probably on the emperor's side.

Therefore, it is best to admit his mistakes honestly, at least the losses can be minimized. After all, he has made great contributions to the court, and he is a well-known general. He has fought bloody battles for Daxia for many years. No matter what the emperor does, as long as he If there is no rebellious move, at most he will lose a layer of his skin.

It won't hurt your muscles and bones.

"Humph!"

Jiang Chengwan snorted coldly.

"The decree is that Wang Qian, the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, is unable to control his subordinates. From now on, he will be deprived of his position as commander-in-chief and will be fined for half a year. When will he learn how to serve under the command, and when will he go to the governor's mansion."

Hearing this, Wang Qian, who was removed from the post of commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably.

"Old minister, thank Your Majesty for your grace!"

Thunder, rain and dew are all due to the emperor's kindness. Even if the emperor wants to raid your home, you must accept the order and thank him.

Jiang Chengwan at least left him some dignity and didn't beat him to the bottom directly, which was already very good to him.

This kindness must be recognized!

After dealing with Wang Qian, Jiang Chengwan turned his head and looked at Cao Siming, Tang Yue and others on the other side.

"Purpose."

Her voice became colder.

"Su Shuang, the commander of the Suizhou Guards, is temporarily appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Qingning Army, in charge of the Qingning Army Talisman, and coordinates all counterinsurgency matters. Zhang Shiping is the deputy commander-in-chief, who is also in charge of all political affairs of the Qingning Army. In addition to these two, he summons other officers of the Qingning Army. The commander of the Guard Army came to Beijing and set off immediately after receiving the imperial edict. I will see them appear in Taiji Hall within three days, otherwise..."

"Military law!"
