Under Lin Yanhui's signal, the news of this purge quickly spread throughout Tianhua, and this matter directly shook the entire Tianhua government and the opposition. 『』

After learning about this, the people of Tianhua clapped their hands and celebrated in various ways, which was like a grand festival.

And many nobles in Tianhua proposed to Ling Yue'er to investigate Yunqing.

Count more than a dozen of all kinds of rebellious crimes.

At that time, Ling Yue'er was sitting in Beiguan at this time, and when she learned the news, she was stunned for a long time.

"That guy, give me such a surprise as soon as you come back." She put down the information in her hand and couldn't help but smile.

"Your Majesty, why are you still happy to be the Lord Protector of the Kingdom, wouldn't you offend so many nobles by doing this, you should be annoyed to death by those old ministers." Her personal maid asked curiously.

"Think about it, how much he helped me with this cleaning" Ling Yue'er smiled: "There are some things that I am not suitable to do. Although I want to reform this aristocracy, after all, it has been practiced for many years, and it is not just a matter of changing it. While I am slowly reforming, I also need to take care of all aspects. ”

"But Yun Qing's cleaning has removed a lot of the empire's cancer, not to mention, and made those places vacant. In this way, I would have a buffer to reform the aristocracy. When the time comes, a new group of nobles who support me will be able to compete with those old stubbornness. ”

"So that's the case" The little maid rolled her eyes, but said: "But Your Majesty, in this case, will those newly crowned nobles become those unscrupulous nobles in the end?"

Ling Yue'er showed a hint of bitterness on her face: "I've thought about it too, but I haven't thought of a good way so far." For the time being, I can only make those who support me the new nobles. ”

The two chatted for a while, and the guards outside came in to summon the news.

"Your Majesty, Zuo Xiang and a few adults are asking to see you outside."

"It's coming. Let them in. A smile flashed in Ling Yue'er's eyes.

"Someone, give a few seats."

"陛xià." After sitting down, one of the white-haired old ministers immediately said, "Your Majesty." The old minister had just received the news that the protector Yunqing had disregarded the laws of the empire and beheaded many imperial nobles. This is a great rebellion, with the intention of rebellion. ”

"That's right, Majesty, the only person who has the right to dispose of the nobles of the empire is you. He clearly didn't take His Majesty in his eyes when he did this. The other man chimed in.

Ling Yue'er nodded: "What does Zuo Xiang mean?"

Hearing Ling Yue'er ask, Zuo Xiang lazily opened his slightly squinted eyes and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister is just accompanying these adults over." The old minister didn't have any opinions. Regarding this matter, Lao Chen felt that every qiē was decided by His Majesty. ”

Hearing Zuo Xiang's words, the faces of the other people were extremely ugly, and looking at their expressions, it was obvious that what Zuo Xiang said was different from what they had discussed before.

"yes, okay." Ling Yue'er nodded, took out some information and threw it on the ground: "You all take a look." ”

Those old ministers picked it up and flipped through it, but they couldn't read two pages, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads one by one, and some of them even trembled in their legs.

"That's what those guys do." Ling Yue'er slammed the table: "What are they doing when the country is in such a crisis?"

"Our soldiers are throwing their heads on the frontier, what are they doing"

"Very good, the peace that the soldiers fought for with their lives is to let them bully the people in the rear, bully men and women, and mutilate the orphans of the soldiers" Ling Yue'er slapped out again, and the table in front of her turned into ashes in an instant.

"It's this kind of bastard who damns a thousand times, I think it's too light for Yun Qing to just cut them down. If you want me to say, you should cut it with a thousand knives and destroy the nine clans. The more Ling Yue'er spoke, the angrier she became, and a few of the green bricks under her feet were broken by her.

And the more angry she became, how dare those old ministers sit there, they all knelt on the ground.

Only Zuo Xiang was already with his eyes closed, as if he hadn't seen or heard anything.

"You still dare to come and tell right and wrong, it's really bold, so bold." Ling Yue'er stretched out her hand and pointed over one by one: "Do you think that you are old, or an old minister of the two dynasties, I am embarrassed to move you, I see that you have been sitting in this seat for too long, and you have simply forgotten whose world this world is." Whose Tianhua is this Tianhua? ”

"Pillars of the empire, you talk about it, are you worthy of these four words, I will sue you today, no matter who he is, in today's matter, if you dare to say a word of nonsense, you will immediately go home for my retirement. I don't leave behind those idiots who don't know right from wrong, who don't know what to prioritize. ”

Ling Yue'er scolded and scolded this group of old ministers, sweating profusely.

By the time they were driven out by Ling Yue'er, their clothes were all soaked, and they didn't even know how they got out.

All they knew was that as soon as they came out, their feet were weak, and their whole body was paralyzed on the ground.

Zuo Xiang hurriedly called a few guards to come over and pick them up.

"Left, left, left, what did you just do?"

"Why is it different from what I said at the beginning" Zuo Xiang patted him on the shoulder and said, "Listen, we are all this age, so don't be a head bird." Whatever the majesty says is what it is. If you don't speak, we won't speak. Her Majesty really wants to ask for your opinion, she will naturally ask you, and you can speak freely when the time comes. ”

"Also, those people let us speak, what benefits can we get to anger Your Majesty, and the first one who is unlucky is us. The reason why you are scolded is also for your own good. ”

Zuo Xiang pointed to the sky: "Now you should know who is in charge of Tianhua's sky, those local nobles are just clowns, as long as the Protector and the Night General support His Majesty." Tianhua's throne is safe and worry-free. Whose life does His Majesty want is just a matter of words. The two of them are now grandmaster-level powerhouses. Grandmaster, do you understand?"

"What a grandmaster?"

"That's right, Grandmaster. Think about it, the two grandmaster-level powerhouses are loyal to our majesty, but you have accepted the things of those local nobles to complain to your majesty. It's not looking for death, what is it, is it important for those local nobles, or is it important for grandmaster-level powerhouses"

"Of course, this is important for grandmaster-level powerhouses."

"That's it." Zuo Xiang looked back at the study where Ling Yue'er worked, and sighed: "Our majesty is eloquent and strategic, and our ambitions are not inferior to the emperor. It's foolish that you still want to stop her. ”

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the old ministers who were paralyzed with fright, and left by himself.

And at the court meeting after this day, many ministers blamed Yunqing.

Ling Yue'er sat in her seat without saying a word, quietly listening to the accusations of those ministers.

Zuo Xiang sat in his chair, his eyes still closed, as if he couldn't hear anything.

At this time, the old ministers under the left minister also shrank their necks, closed their eyes and recuperated, and did not say a word.

The right phase bowed slightly, and also did not say a word.

Ling Yue'er looked at the ministers and sighed, "Okay, what they said just now is to cure the sin of protecting the country." Who else has the same opinion"

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with Lord Wang's opinion."

"The minister agrees."

"The minister is in favor of the sin of protecting the country."

Looking at the ministers who jumped out one by one to take charge of Yunqing, Ling Yue'er nodded: "Very good." Lord Left and Lord Right, what do you two think?"

Zuo Xiang opened his eyes and glanced at the ministers: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Duke Yunqing has done a good job in this matter." ”

"What is the left minister, the protector of the country, he killed the nobles of the empire without authorization"

"Is it" Zuo Xiang glared at the minister: "Imperial nobleman, if the old minister is not mistaken, when the knighthood is made, all the nobles must swear to Your Majesty There are a few sentences in the oath. I will always be loyal to the empire and forever loyal to His Majesty. Love the people and be kind to the people. The people serve me with brocade clothes and jade food, then they protect the people, and it is my duty to guard the territory. I swear to defend the territory and the empire with my life, and I will be loyal to my emperor with my life for generations. ”

"I believe you all know these words," Zuo Xiang's tone was flat, but the light in his eyes made those ministers dare not look at him.

"For the nobility of the empire, it is the nobility of the empire to do this. If he can't do it, then he's just a villain who breaks his oath. Those who killed and defended the country, as far as the old man knew, had a way to die. ”

Ling Yue'er smiled, she looked at the right minister: "So, what is the opinion of the right minister?"

"Back to His Majesty, the old man thought that what Zuo Xiang said was very true. But the old man has a slightly different opinion. When the country was in extreme danger, as soon as the protector returned to China, he immediately led his army north, and his loyalty can be learned. On the contrary, those nobles who were beheaded by the protector have not been sent to support them so far, but on the contrary, they are still acting as a prestige in the territory and oppressing the people. Whether they violated their oath is left unquestionable. But they must have violated their greatest duty as the nobles of the empire to protect our emperor. ”

"Your Majesty, you have already come to Beiguan in person, but what about them, it is clear at a glance which is right and which is not. What's more, the old man heard that the nobles who were killed by the Protector of the Kingdom had committed countless crimes. It is indeed a cancer of the empire, and if they do not take the opportunity to make a decision at this time when the enemy is pressing, they will definitely cause more damage to the empire. Therefore, the old man thinks that the protector of the country is not only without fault, but also meritorious. 陛xià should be rewarded. ”

"Oh," Ling Yue'er nodded, "It turns out that the two prime ministers have such an opinion. So who else agrees with the left and right phases"

"Your Majesty, the old minister agrees with the two prime ministers."

The old minister agreed.

"The old minister also thinks that the Lord Protector of the country can learn from his loyalty, and the world can be revealed, and he should really be rewarded."

Looking at those old ministers, Ling Yue'er couldn't help but smile, and then said, "Since this is the case, then follow the meaning of the two prime ministers." Enjoy 20,000 gold coins, a pair of gold armor, and a horse of Tianhua wildebeest. ”

"In addition, today's events should be a wake-up call. It is not the external enemy that is terrible, but the internal cancer. From today onwards, the procuratorial cabinet will be set up to investigate the work of the local aristocracy, and those who endanger the hài empire and oppress the people will be severely punished. Taking this opportunity, Ling Yue'er directly put forward her own proposition
