Fengzhu Palace is not far from the imperial study, Qin Yuan only walked a few incense sticks to arrive, only to see Zhou Ruiqing waiting at the door of the imperial study, saw Qin Yuan coming slowly, far away from the trotting over, with a good smile on his face, "The slave to Hui Guifei Niangniang, Niangniang Wan'an." ”

Qin Yuan raised her lips and smiled slightly, "Is the emperor busy?" Zhou Ruiqing turned around and looked at the imperial study, and hurriedly said, "Yo, Niangniang, it's really unfortunate, the emperor is currently negotiating state affairs with the minister, why don't Niangniang go to the side hall and wait first?" Qin Yuan bowed slightly, "Okay, then the palace is waiting in the side hall." ”

When Qin Yuan came to the side hall to rest, it didn't take much effort, and then he saw Zhou Ruiqing push the door in, walked in front of Qin Yuan and said, "Niangniang, the ministers are arguing in the imperial study because of the matter after the establishment, do you want to go over and take a look?" Qin Yuan's expression instantly became a little solemn, and he got up in an instant, and came to the back cabinet of the imperial study.

Qin Yuan secretly poked her head out and looked at several ministers standing in the imperial study, only to hear one of them say, "Your Majesty, since you ascended the throne, Concubine Wan has been waiting by your side, for so many years, there is no merit and hard work, but the minister thinks that Concubine Wan is the most suitable candidate now." ”

I saw that the imperial historian Sun glanced at him with contempt, and said in a sharp tone, "The credit and hard work are not on the lips, Concubine Yi has been in the palace for several years, and she has saved the emperor's life twice regardless of her life, and Concubine Wan was also present at that time, the official dared to ask Lord Chen, where did Concubine Wan go at that time?" Didn't you run away with your life? Only Concubine Hui dared to step forward, and only Concubine Hui was worthy of the position of queen by virtue of this! ”

Lord Chen was silent for a while, and then opened his mouth with the adult, "Today's prince is from Concubine Wan, as we all know, the prince is erudite and intelligent, and he is the credit of Concubine Wan, the emperor, the harem cannot be left without an owner for a day, please think twice." I saw that the prime minister bowed his hand at this time and said, "Your Majesty, now there are rumors about Concubine Wan in the court, if Concubine Wan is established as the queen at this time, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the public." ”

I saw that Master Chen did not relent, "Your Majesty, the matter of the bowl of ginseng tea that the four princes brought to the queen before her death has not been thoroughly investigated. ”

"Nonsense!" , Master Sun said unhappily, "At that time, the fourth prince took the ginseng tea from the palace maid, and then walked to the queen's bedside, could it be that the four princes will do their tricks and feet between these few steps?" At that time, everyone in the dormitory was watching! Lord Chen's face turned a little disdainful, and he said without fear, "Lord Chen, as you said, as if you have seen it with your own eyes?" As soon as these words came out, Master Sun puffed out his cheeks and was silent for a while.

"Enough!" , Qing Cang, who was sitting on the palace of the imperial study and had not made a sound, finally couldn't help it, Qing Cang said angrily, "The queen's funeral is less than ten days, and you are holding on to the matter of the queen one by one, today I came to you to discuss the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, not to discuss the matter of the harem!" ”

All the ministers saw that Qing Cang was angry, and they all bowed their waists and stopped talking, Qing Cang's face was extremely serious, and the green tendons on his temples were faintly visible, and he said indignantly, "Although it is snowing in the capital now, the sun is shining in the south of the Yangtze River, and the flood has missed this year's grain, what can I do to feed the tens of thousands of Li people in the south of the Yangtze River, I have sent the disaster relief food and silver two or eight hundred miles to Jiangnan as early as seven days ago, but what is the result!" ”

I saw Qing Cang pick up a fold on the desk, get up angrily and said, "Governor of Jiangnan, your fold clearly says that the floods in Jiangnan have been significantly alleviated, and the victims have a place to live, and there are as many as 30 places where food is distributed. ”

I saw that among the ministers, a minister knelt down tremblingly and said, "Minister...... Minister......"

Qing Cang angrily threw the fold at the official for a while, and his originally angry voice was a little higher-pitched, pointing at the ministers and saying, "Now there is something more important than the Lihou Dynasty, that is, the lives of the people of Li in Jiangnan are in danger, but have you paid attention to it?" You are holding my money one by one, what is the use of me raising you bunch of waste! ”

The ministers hurriedly knelt down and echoed in unison, "The ministers deserve death." ”

Qing Cang suddenly smiled, "Sin deserves death?" It's enough for you to die once! If I hadn't sent General Xue to investigate, I would still be in the dark until now, you civil officials are not as good as a military attaché, and the Xue family has never said a word about the matter after the establishment, and you have been arguing endlessly, you usually say that I am too partial to the Xue family, but now only the Xue family can work hard for this dynasty! If I don't value the Xue family, do I still have to value you? Regarding the matter after the establishment, don't think that little ninety-nine in your heart is not clear! Who often looks close to which concubine in the harem, don't think that I don't know the way, I also have ears and eyes! ”

Qing Cang was so angry that he was panting heavily, and suddenly felt a trace of itching in his chest, and hurriedly raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed lightly, the cough disease has not been cured for many years, so that once Qing Cang moves, the cough disease will recur, all the ministers panicked when they saw this, and Lord Sun hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, pay attention to the dragon body." The rest of the ministers echoed.

Qing Cang sat down in an instant, and only then did he feel much better after taking a sip of ginseng tea, Qing Cang eased slightly, and lowered his tone a few points, "If I want to govern this country well, it depends on you, when I was young, I really wanted to be the Holy Monarch of the Ages, but now that there are officials like you who only care about selfish desires, I can only be a lazy monarch!" Have you slept all these nights? I didn't sleep all night last night, because when I learned the true situation of the flood in Jiangnan, I couldn't sleep at all, I was worried about the people of Jiangnan, and I seemed to hear them scolding me for being a faint king! Where did the five million taels go? Where did the 500 stone grain go? The governor of Jiangnan was the official mentioned by me back then, and I am cold! I dare to take this country as a bet, if I copy the residence of the governor of Jiangnan now, I will definitely be able to save more than one flood in Jiangnan! ”

Qing Cang's voice of reprimand, so that all the ministers knelt on the ground and did not dare to speak, the governor of Jiangnan at this moment, his face was already full of cold sweat, and then he only heard Qing Cang say, "Governor of Jiangnan, I don't want to find out where the silver taels and grain for disaster relief went, so put all your family property into disaster relief." ”

The governor of Jiangnan immediately panicked, and kowtowed again and again, "The emperor forgives the sin, the emperor forgives the sin, the micro-minister knows that he is wrong, and the micro-minister knows that he is wrong." Qing Cang ignored it at all, and immediately issued an order, "Xu Ze, the governor of Jiangnan, pretended to play a twist and deceive the king, all his family property was confiscated, and all his wives and concubines and children were slaves, and they were immediately dismissed and investigated!" ”

The governor of Jiangnan was so frightened for a while that he kowtowed again and again, "The emperor is gracious, the emperor is gracious." Qing Cang didn't want to hear it at all, and immediately called out loudly, "Come on, pull the governor of Jiangnan down!" In an instant, the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and two guards came in and forcibly pulled the governor of Jiangnan down.

Qing Cang immediately looked at the civil ministers who were kneeling all over the ground, and said in a solemn tone, "Regarding the matter of the post-establishment, I will discuss it with the Queen Mother, if you have the heart, you should care more about the affairs of the people, from today on, if I hear anyone mention the matter of the post-establishment again, who will be the second governor of Jiangnan!" ”

The ministers immediately responded in unison, "Yes, the ministers obey the order." Qing Cang waved his hand impatiently, "Let's all go down!" Then all the ministers responded in unison, slowly got up and retreated, Qing Cang's face was full of sadness for a while, and he was at a loss on the wooden chair that he leaned on and stroked his chest.
